Metal detectors installed after two Israeli policemen were killed have sparked protests by Palestinians. It remains unclear if the metal detectors will be removed. Tensions over the site, known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount, have surged in recent days, with further deaths. The site in Jerusalem's Old City is sacred to both Jews and Muslims. Jews revere it as the location of two Biblical Temples and holiest site in Judaism. It is also the al-Aqsa mosque compound, the third holiest site in Islam. The area, in East Jerusalem, has been under Israeli occupation since the 1967 Middle East war. Israel says that three Israeli Arabs who carried out the 14 July shooting near the compound were able to smuggle guns inside and that metal detectors are needed to stop similar attacks. Police chased the attackers into the site afterwards and shot them dead. But Palestinians strongly object to the installation of metal detectors. They see it as a move by Israel to assert more control over the sacred site and as a violation of longstanding access arrangements. Many Palestinians have prayed in the streets instead of going through the metal detectors. What makes Jerusalem so holy? Three Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli security forces on Friday as thousands protested in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. They were Mohammad Abu Ghannam, 19; Muhammad Sharaf, 19; and Mohammad Lafi, 18, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Later three Israeli civilians were stabbed to death at a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank by a Palestinian who entered a home. They were Yosef Salomon 70, and his daughter Chaya, 46, and son Elad, 36, according to Israeli officials. Mr Saloman's wife, Tova, was injured but survived. At least one Palestinian also died during clashes on Saturday, according to the Palestinian health ministry. It identified him as 17-year-old Oday Nawajaa. Some Israeli ministers have said that the 19-year-old assailant responsible for Friday's knife attack should receive the death penalty, a sentencing option that remains available in Israel's military courts but has not been used since 1962. There has been speculation that they are meant to replace the metal detectors, but Israeli security sources have been quoted as saying that is not the case. Palestinian officials are yet to react to their installation. It is difficult to say but some senior officials from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government have suggested they will. "They will remain. The murderers will never tell us how to search the murderers," regional development minister Tzachi Hanegbi told Army Radio. Yet Major General Yoav Mordechai, a top official, has called on the Muslim world to put forward other suggestions to secure the site. And Israel's public security minister Gilad Erdan has said that the metal detector checks for all Muslims could eventually be replaced with different measures, including more police officers and security cameras with facial recognition technology. Analysts say the government does not want to be seen as buckling to Palestinian pressure. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has ordered a freezing of all contact with Israel while the metal detectors remain in place, although it is unclear whether this will extend to security co-operation. Meanwhile, the Muslim authorities overseeing the Al-Aqsa mosque say they reject any change to the status quo. Israel insists the measure does not alter the delicate set of arrangements governing the site for the past 50 years. On Sunday, the Arab League - a regional association of countries - said Israel was "playing with fire" and that "no Arab or Muslim will accept violations" against holy sites in Jerusalem. Pope Francis, speaking to pilgrims in Vatican City's St Peter's Square on Sunday, said he was "following with trepidation the grave tension and violence of recent days in Jerusalem" and called for moderation and dialogue. The White House has said it is "very concerned" about the tensions surrounding the holy site and is reported to be working with Israel and Jordan, which sponsors the Islamic institution which administers the compound, to find a way to defuse the crisis. The UN Security Council will discuss the crisis on Monday.

Israel has placed CCTV cameras near an entrance to a holy site in Jerusalem as tensions over security measures there continue.

For young Jews, the violent anti-Semitism comes as a shock, and a reminder of the Holocaust 70 years ago. Here are the views of five young people across Europe, including one who knew Dan Uzan, the 37-year-old man shot dead while guarding Copenhagen's synagogue on 15 February. It feels weird at the moment - on the one hand I feel very safe, on the other I don't. I've known this would happen for a long time, so it didn't come as a surprise. We've asked for more security from the government several times. I used to say "Hi" to Dan when I saw him at the synagogue. One of my best friends was Dan's pallbearer - he stands outside as well and it could have been him. I went to the synagogue for a memorial to Dan and I was afraid. I have an American boyfriend and I think I want to emigrate. I'm not sure I feel safe enough to raise children here. It means a lot to see my countrymen rallying around us, especially at the memorial. But all the racism scares me. You see so much abuse towards Muslims: why wouldn't they say it to Jews? If you know enough about Jewish history, then you know it's not safe to be a Jew in Europe right now. You can see it slowly coming. It was the same before the Second World War - the anti-Semitism just grows and grows. I can feel it coming. I don't want to die in Auschwitz. It's no easy task being a French Jew at the moment. We're always being asked whether there is a future for Jews here. I think there is. I'm not living in fear but when I go to a kosher supermarket, I can't stop myself thinking it is a target. Anti-Semitism has risen every year - and the French people realise more and more that it has grown. The president supported us and said that France would not be France without the Jews. I couldn't agree more. Some Jews want to leave to Israel and I'm okay with that. But I won't move to Israel because of fear. I think if someone needs to leave France, it's not the Jews - it's the haters. Being a Jew in Eastern Europe is different from elsewhere: I always have to make a good impression because I am the only Jew that most people know. When I go out, I can't wear my kippah (skullcap) or a Star of David t-shirt. When I wear those, I feel that I am not a member of Hungarian society. I believe in change and that in my lifetime we will change people's thinking. I don't want to be afraid to be a Hungarian Jew. I don't want to go and live in Israel, I want to stay and live here. However, Hungary's second biggest political party, Jobbik, is anti-Semitic and a very big problem. There was a similar situation before the Second World War. We have to do something. I don't want to believe it will be the same. I think being a young Jew in London hasn't changed visibly after these attacks. I've always felt safe and part of a thriving intellectual community. Receiving the news about the attacks is shocking, upsetting and scary but doesn't change this. I have thought about being attacked, and so have my friends in the community. But these attacks are rare. Until we see evidence that it could happen here, I don't want to spread the panic. My dad and his family left Iraq in the 1970s to seek refuge from terrible persecution, and that's exactly what they've found. These attacks have caused fear and panic, but we still feel safe in Britain. It's pretty scary to be a Dutch Jew at the moment. My niece and nephew go to the same Jewish elementary school as I did - there are now soldiers standing outside with guns. Whenever I'm with my Jewish friends, we talk about security and threats; a few years ago we would never do that. I'm not saying people should be afraid because stopping living your life is how the terrorists win. I don't see a clear way of stopping these attacks - I can't say if we do this or that then in 10 years it will all be fine. So I think my children will be scared as well. But I still feel safe to be Jewish here; I don't think people should leave Europe for Israel. I feel much more Dutch and European than Israeli. This is my home. Life for German Jews hasn't changed, but being a Jew in Germany already makes my everyday life very different. The attacks were scary but I went to a Jewish high school and synagogue. There have been police in front of them for a long time. I am a full part of German society. Most of my friends aren't Jewish, but still it is impossible to wear a kippah outside. I do think twice before I tell somebody that I am Jewish - I know that sometimes you have to keep it to yourself. I experience anti-Semitism - words like "dirty Jew". Once I was out with my school and singing to commemorate victims of the Holocaust. Students from another school started throwing coins and then attacked us. It's only happened a few times and people often step in. The government helps by speaking out a lot. There is also a new type of anti-Semitism, mostly informed by people's views of Israel, even though most Jews are not necessarily Israeli. A lot of this comes from Muslim immigrants. I believe we can co-exist but radicalism is challenging this. Even if an attack happened here, it would still take a lot for me to leave. I feel at home here. The inquiry sat for more than a year between 2010 and 2011, taking evidence from more than 160 witnesses over 139 days. More than a million pages of evidence were submitted. What did the report say? The report argued for "fundamental change" in the culture of the NHS to make sure patients were put first. It said the trust management ignored patients' complaints and local GPs and MPs also failed to speak up for them. The local primary care trust and regional health authority were too quick to trust the hospital's management and national regulators were not challenging enough, the report said. The Royal College of Nursing was accused of not doing enough to support nurses who were trying to raise concerns. Meanwhile, the Department of Health was criticised for being too "remote" and embarking on "counterproductive" reorganisations. The report recommended making it a criminal offence to hide information about poor care, introducing laws to oblige doctors to be open with patients about mistakes, a code of conduct for senior managers and an increased focus on compassion in the recruitment, training and education of nurses. What happened at Stafford Hospital? Data shows there were between 400 and 1,200 more deaths than would have been expected. It is impossible to say all of these patients would have survived if they had received better treatment. But it is clear many were let down by a culture that put cost-cutting and target-chasing ahead of the quality of care. Examples included patients being so thirsty that they had to drink water from vases and receptionists left to decide which patients to treat in A&E. Nurses were not trained properly to use vital equipment, while inexperienced doctors were put in charge of critically ill patients. Some patients needing pain relief either got it late or not at all, leaving them crying out for help, and there were cases where food and drinks were left out of reach. The failings have led to scores of legal challenges from the families of patients. What has happened to the individuals involved? The senior managers in charge during the years in question have now left the trust. When the scale of the failings emerged, the chief executive, Martin Yeates, resigned. The chairman of the trust, Toni Brisby, left soon afterwards. The two people who filled the post of director of nursing during the period - Jan Harry and Helen Moss - have also left the trust. They have both been criticised for their roles. Mrs Harry was eventually suspended by the Nursing and Midwifery Council for her role. She then retired from the profession. Officials further up the NHS system have also been implicated. Cynthia Bower was head, from 2006 to 2008, of the West Midlands Health Authority, which oversaw the trust. She left to become head of the Care Quality Commission, the regulator which replaced the Healthcare Commission. She left that post last year amid criticism of the regulator's performance. She told the public inquiry she was sorry for failing to spot the problems. Concerns had been brought to her attention in 2007 but after an investigation it was decided there were no systematic problems. NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson has also come in for criticism. Sir David was head of the health authority before Ms Bower. In his evidence to the inquiry he said he did not think Stafford represented a systematic failure as it had been the only case uncovered on such a scale. Tom Kark QC, the counsel to the inquiry, described that as "naive" and "dangerous". This was not the first inquiry, is it? No. There have actually been five major investigations. The scandal first came to national prominence following the publication of a report by the Healthcare Commission in March 2009. The regulator criticised the hospital for its "appalling" standards. The investigation was prompted by complaints and statistics showing more people were dying than would be expected. The publication of the report prompted the government to launch other inquiries, one of which was an independent inquiry chaired by Robert Francis QC. The findings were published in February 2010 and detailed the "unimaginable" distress and suffering of patients between 2005 and 2008. But the inquiry, held in private, was criticised by relatives of patients for being too narrow as it did not look at whether the wider NHS system had been culpable. In opposition, the Tories had promised a full public inquiry. A month after the coalition was formed, David Cameron announced it would take place. So how was this one different? In recognition that the harrowing stories of what happened at Stafford Hospital had already been covered, the public inquiry was charged with looking at how the lapses could have been allowed to take place and why they were not picked up earlier. Mr Francis was once again asked to chair the inquiry. His remit included the commissioning, supervision and regulation of the hospital. This means the role of senior management at the hospital, the local and regional NHS bodies responsible for it and the national organisations in charge of overseeing them. Despite the extensive investigations already carried out several key questions still remained unanswered. Why wasn't the alarm raised earlier? How did the trust manage to become a foundation trust - an elite status which requires sign-off from ministers and a regulator? Could this happen again? The inquiry attempted to answer these questions and now the government is responding to its recommendations. The second stage of Plasdwr - a 900-acre site bordering Fairwater, St Fagans, Danescourt and Radyr - was approved for land south of Pentrebane Road. It comes after plans for the first 630 homes bordering Llantrisant Road were given the go-ahead in February. Redrow Homes said work on the first phase is due to start this summer. Bernard Jenkin claimed the government watered down the Trade Union Bill to ensure union support in its campaign to keep Britain in the EU. Mr Jenkin told MPs "this stinks" like "cash for questions" and showed the government was at the "rotten heart of the European Union". But Business Minister Nick Boles said his claims were "not right". He told Mr Jenkin, who is a leading figure in the Vote Leave campaign, that "not every compromise is a conspiracy". Mr Jenkin made his comments in the Commons on the day the Guardian published an article jointly written by Prime Minister David Cameron and the former TUC general secretary Sir Brendan Barber. In it, they say that "very special circumstances" have brought them together, adding that despite their political differences they are "united in our conviction that Britain - and Britain's workers - will be better off in a reformed Europe than out on our own". Last week the government backed down over plans to end the right of workers to pay union subscriptions by deducting them from their wages. MPs approved concessions to the Trade Union Bill on Wednesday following a series of defeats over the plans in the House of Lords. They included a climb-down on attempts to force all union members to "opt-in" to paying a political levy - which will now only apply to new members. Mr Jenkin told MPs in the Commons: "Yesterday, the ministers' concession was wholly unexpected." He questioned whether the changes were linked to reported claims that unions could donate up to £1.7m to the "Labour In for Britain" campaign to remain in the European Union. Mr Jenkin said: "It has been confirmed to me through more than two independent sources that No 10 instructed these concessions to be made after the discussions with trade union representatives. "This being true would amount to the sale of government policy for cash and political favours." He went on: "This stinks, this reeks of the same as cash for questions. This shows this government really is at the rotten heart of the European Union." But Mr Boles said the Cabinet Office had advised him there was no breach of the ministerial code and nothing for the prime minister's adviser on ministerial interests to investigate. Mr Boles said it was "customary" for ministers to have regular discussions with shadow ministers to discuss possible compromises that would secure the passage of a Bill. "The Trade Union Bill is now in ping pong and, as is customary at such times, ministers have held regular discussions with shadow ministers to discuss possible compromises that would secure passage of the Bill and delivery of the commitments made in the Conservative Party's manifesto," the business minister said. Mr Boles also said that the TUC, GMB Unite and Unison had declared their support for remaining in the European Union before concessions were offered. He added that major opposition from peers, including prominent Conservatives, had encouraged the government to make concessions. The exercise took place in recent days in the Bohai Sea, near the Korean peninsula, said the ministry. Ten vessels and 10 aircraft engaged in air-to-air, air-to-sea and sea-to-air combat drills, state media reported. The exercise comes as concerns grow over China's increasing military presence in the South China Sea. Several countries have overlapping territorial claims with China in the region, but no country other than China claims the Bohai Sea. According to a statement released by the ministry, the exercise tested weapon performance and training levels. State broadcaster CCTV showed images of fighter jets taking off from the Soviet-built Liaoning aircraft carrier, firing missiles and destroying a target at sea. China announced the Liaoning was ready to engage in combat last month, marking a milestone for a navy that has invested heavily in its ability to project power around the region. But China is still years away from perfecting carrier operations similar to those the United States has practiced for decades, according to Reuters. The exercise comes the day after the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) released new photographs it said showed "significant" Chinese military defences on artificial islands China has built in the South China Sea. China has repeatedly denied it is militarising its controversial developments in the region. On Thursday, the defence ministry said the deployment of military equipment was "legitimate and lawful". A statement said: "Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate. "The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta." On Wednesday the singer declared his love for his fiancee, Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, after photos emerged of him with his arm around another woman. The picture, which has been widely shared and published online, shows Malik with his arm around the bare stomach of a woman in a cropped top. A second photo, taken from behind, shows Malik standing close to the woman. Their hands and arms look like they're linked. Malik told his Twitter followers on Wednesday: "I'm 22 years old ... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous [people] in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like x." Zayn Malik along with Louis Tomlinson had faced losing more than £3,000 each if they were caught using, or promoting, illegal drugs in Manila. The pair were asked to post bonds of 200,000 pesos each for a special work permit, ahead of two concerts in the Philippine capital this weekend. It's after a video appeared last year of them both smoking what they called "a joint" in Peru. Possession of a small amount of cannabis is not illegal there. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Evidence has been unearthed in Horsford including artefacts such as pottery, flint and a complete spindle wheel. Oxford Archaeology East said the network of fields was separated by post holes rather than ditches, which makes it surprising. A spokesman said it was of "potentially national significance". Project manager Tom Phillips said the settlement, dating from between 1500-1200 BC, was made up of a "large rectangular ditched enclosure" and about eight to ten roundhouses. But there was also a network of post hole alignments - rows of closely spaced posts - dividing fields. Mr Phillips said: "This is very unusual, we have no parallels for how it looks." He said that while much of southern England was divided into field systems at that time, they had ditched boundaries. Post hole boundaries were unusual because they were not as practical. He said other experts would now be consulted to see if there were similar examples and to establish why they might have been used. "It is possible that it was an important settlement where people met and they needed to make it look more visually impressive and show they could generate the labour needed to create such an environment," he said. The discovery was made close to where the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR) will run. Norfolk County Council's historic environment manager David Gurney, said: "Such Bronze Age settlement evidence is always difficult to find so the NDR excavation results will be of regional and national significance." The council said the excavation of the NDR route was programmed as part of the project so the find will not cause delays. Alvarez, 25, stopped Briton Amir Khan in the sixth round of their Las Vegas bout on 7 May to retain the title. The WBC had given Alvarez a deadline of 22 May to begin negotiations with WBA and IBF champion Golovkin or face being stripped of his title. But Alvarez says he will now target a fight against the unbeaten Kazakhstani. "I'm hopeful that by putting aside this ticking clock, the two teams can now negotiate this fight," said Alvarez. Alvarez, whose only professional defeat came against Floyd Mayweather in 2013, added that he had instructed his promoter to "finalise a deal as quickly as possible". Golovkin, 34, who now holds three of the four major middleweight crowns, has won 32 of his 35 fights by knockout in an undefeated career, and was invited into the ring after Alvarez's win over Khan. "I will fight 'GGG' and I will beat 'GGG' but I will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines," said Alvarez. He will be in France to watch the Northern Ireland game and the Republic of Ireland play Italy on Wednesday. Northern Ireland could qualify for the next round with a draw. Mr McGuinness said it was "an opportunity to reach out the hand of friendship". He told Good Morning Ulster that while he did not know the words to fan-favourite chant 'Will Grigg's On Fire', he was confident of getting a good response from Northern Ireland fans. "I just met a large group of fans here at the airport from the Northern Ireland fans club, and they were all looking photographs," he said. "So, if that's a barometer of where people's thoughts are at, it should be grand." "I do believe that sport has a unifying effect," he added. "The reports back from France have clearly shown that the fans of both Irish teams have been very, very well appreciated and well received. "Also the fact that they have come together whenever they meet each other on the street, it's very heartwarming that people appreciate how unifying sport can be for all of us." Mr McGuinness also said that while he had been to Windsor Park for football matches he had never seen Northern Ireland. "As a very keen sports fan and soccer fan, I am looking forward to these games. "It's tantalising given Michael O'Neill's team are playing against Germany, the world champions, and Italy, who were described as no-hopers before the competition, have now developed into one of the favourites." The party insists its failure to report six figure sums it spent on trying to win three by-elections and the general election was an "administrative error". The Electoral Commission said there was a "realistic prospect" the money had given the party an advantage. The Metropolitan Police is now looking at the evidence to see if the reporting omissions were deliberate. The party broke spending rules by moving campaigners and staff from its national headquarters to boost local party efforts and not properly declaring their hotel bills and expenses. The investigation, which followed Channel 4 News' investigation, found: The successful Conservative campaign in South Thanet to see off a challenge by then UKIP leader Nigel Farage at the 2015 general election was among those criticised in the commission's report. The Electoral Commission found the Conservative Party also failed to correctly report all expenditure on a national battlebus campaign, which helped David Cameron win a majority at the general election. It has referred a possible criminal offence - of whether Simon Day, the Conservative Party's registered treasurer until April 2016, "knowingly or recklessly made a false declaration" - to the Metropolitan Police. Labour and the Lib Dems have previously been fined for breaking election spending rules prompting the Electoral Commission to warn that "there is a risk that some political parties might come to view the payment of these fines as a cost of doing business". Speaking at a charity event in London on Thursday evening, Mr Cameron said he had won the general election "fairly and squarely", and that he was happy with a statement made earlier by Conservative head office. The Conservatives said "there needs to be a review of how the Electoral Commission's processes and requirements could be clarified or improved". Seventy thousand pounds is a lot of money, but in the context of a political campaign where millions of pounds are spent, it's not exactly going to break the Tories' bank. But the political cost of what might happen next is much higher. Thirteen police forces are now looking at whether the mistakes made might constitute criminal offences. If that was to happen, there could be by-elections in seats around the country, that could seriously affect the PM's unhealthily slim majority in Parliament. And the whiff of financial wrong-doing is an odour no political party wants. But how likely is that actually to happen? Senior Tory sources tell me they think it's unlikely the mistakes, and there were plenty of them, will reach the hurdle for the prosecution. The CPS has to believe there is a good chance of a successful conviction, and while this is speculation, senior Tories don't believe in most of the cases that's likely. Read Laura's blog in full Q&A: Conservative election expenses row The Commission's chief executive Claire Bassett told BBC Radio 5 live the investigation had taken much longer than necessary because of "some difficulties" in getting information from the Conservative Party. She added that having had to get a court order to get information was "very disappointing". Electoral Commission chairman Sir John Holmes said: "Our investigation uncovered numerous failures by a large, well-resourced and experienced party to ensure that accurate records of spending were maintained and that all of the party's spending was reported correctly." He added that failure to follow the rules "undermines voters' confidence in our democratic processes". But senior Conservative MP Oliver Letwin said that spending record "mistakes" were probably down to "human error". "I don't think you should conclude from this that there is some great conspiracy," he told BBC Radio 4 Today's programme. The Electoral Commission's investigation covered the national party rather than spending by individual candidates, which local police forces have been looking into. Twelve police forces have asked the Crown Prosecution Service to consider charges over election expenses. BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg said that if prosecutions go ahead "we could be looking at by-elections". In response to the Electoral Commission report, a Conservative spokesman said it had "complied fully... and will pay the fines". "This investigation and these fines relate to national spending by CCHQ, and the Conservative Party's national spending return for the 2015 general election. "As we have consistently said, the local agents of Conservative candidates correctly declared all local spending in the 2015 general election. "CCHQ accepted in March 2016 that it had made an administrative error by not declaring a small amount constituting 0.6% of our national spending in the 2015 election campaign. "Political parties of all colours have made reporting mistakes from time to time... this is the first time the Conservative Party has been fined for a reporting error. "We regret that and will continue to keep our internal processes under review to ensure this does not happen again. "Given the range of technical errors made by a number of political parties and campaign groups, there also needs to be a review of how the Electoral Commission's processes and requirements could be clarified or improved." UKIP's chairman Paul Oakden said: "As UKIP has always said, the laws are in place in order to ensure that big and wealthy political parties cannot buy British politics." The Ipsos MORI survey of nearly 1,800 people for the Health Foundation think tank found 85% thought the NHS should be protected from cuts - significantly more than other public services. When presented with a range of options setting out how that could be achieved, 59% said they supported tax rises. There was also some support for fining people for missing appointments. But only 16% were in favour of charging for services, such as a £10 fee for GP appointments. Funding of the NHS is already proving to be a major theme of the election campaign. The Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP and Greens have all promised extra funds for the health service. This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people. Policy guide: Where the parties stand Richard Taunt, the Health Foundation's director of policy, said: "It's clear the public think the government should continue to support the principles of our NHS and want to see it protected from spending cuts." But he said that would "inevitably involve some difficult decisions". This was reflected by the fact that, while 85% said the NHS should be tax-funded, free at the point of use and providing comprehensive care, only 63% thought it would continue to be free by 2020. Nearly one in three thought care had got worse in the past six months, but 51% said it had not really changed and 11% thought it had got better. Opinion was divided over the use of the private sector, with 30% saying private sector involvement would make the health service better, 33% worse and 34% stay the same. Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: "The underlying message is that the public want the NHS to continue to be protected by government, remain tax-funded and free for everyone - and with this the Patients Association agrees." Separately, Dr Mark Porter, head of the British Medical Association, t told the Guardian whichever new government is formed after the general election will face a temptation to introduce charges and may not be deterred by the unpopularity of such a move. "I think they will be tempted. They said in 1950 that a Labour government wouldn't introduce charging and it did," he said. Dr Porter also said any future government "must resist" moves to introduce charges. Republic boss Martin O'Neill has a major selection headache with first-choice central defensive pairing, Shane Duffy and Ciaran Clark, both already ruled out. Midfielders Harry Arter and Wes Hoolahan are both out injured too. Burnley wide player Robbie Brady is suspended. As he took Monday's training session, O'Neill had his fingers crossed crossed over a series of other concerns. His captain, Everton right-back Seamus Coleman, and Aberdeen midfielder Jonny Hayes were both nursing ankle problems, but are expected to be fit. News of Daryl Murphy was not so encouraging for the Irish. The Newcastle striker was due to have a scan on a calf problem in Dublin. Everton midfielder James McCarthy, who has missed his club's last two games with a hamstring injury, was due to meet up later on Monday, as was Colorado Rapids striker Kevin Doyle. Ireland are unbeaten and top Group D with 10 points from their opening four qualifiers, while Chris Coleman's Wales are four points behind in third. Special Report: The Technology of Business Can tech combat modern slavery? Battery technology playing catch-up Councils 'wasting millions' on IT Tech promises sustainable healthcare Mobile brightening Africa's future But a range of new technologies are helping to make the process less arduous and more productive. And with UK business trip expenditure expected to top $42bn (£25bn; 31bn euros) by the end of 2014, according to the Global Business Travel Association, productivity on the road is becoming a business essential. This requires seamless connectivity wherever you are in the world. In reality, travellers have to navigate a multitude of hotspot "providers, prices and passwords adding to the complexity", says Evan Kaplan, chief executive of wi-fi service provider, iPass. As a result, European companies waste at least £2.4bn a year in unmanaged connectivity costs, he says. And 53% of travellers feel the wi-fi services currently available at airports are pretty poor. The iPass solution is to act as a "hotspot aggregator", whereby a single log-in gives users automatic access to more than 150 network operators across 2.7 million hotspots around the world. "Through these agreements, iPass can enable its subscribers to roam seamlessly onto any of its partner networks," says Mr Kaplan. "[It is] simpler to navigate, and more cost-effective." The company claims its service can cut data roaming costs by 50% to 73%. Several airlines are beginning to introduce in-flight wi-fi as well, enabling long-haul passengers to stay connected and productive. Connectivity is one issue for the business traveller, a feeling of anonymity is another. So some travel companies are using technology to personalise their services. For example, travellers using Virgin Atlantic in May and June may have been surprised by a new service being trialled by the airline. It installed Apple iBeacons at its Heathrow airport lounge in an attempt to personalise the pre-flight experience. These transmitters use low-energy Bluetooth technology to notify passers-by of nearby services, discounts and flight schedule updates, via their Apple smart devices. "We could use the passenger's location to help direct them to the lounge or gate area," says Tim Graham, Virgin Atlantic's technology innovation and development manager. "Or we could link back to their preferences or previous behaviour to provide them with a unique service or offer." Furthermore, the airline could use iBeacons to identify an approaching passenger so an agent could "greet them in a more personal way", he says. "Many of these passengers travel a lot, so anything we can do using technology to make their journey that bit more memorable is key," adds Mr Graham. How else is technology helping to make business travel more economic and efficient? According to Geraldine Calpin, senior vice president and global head of digital at Hilton Worldwide, her hotels are "putting innovation and digital tools at the forefront of what we do, in order to stay ahead of the game". The aim, she says, is to empower guests through their entire journey, "from booking to check-in to departure". Hilton's Conrad Concierge service for customers of its luxury Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand, can check in online up to 48 hours in advance using a dedicated app. They can also order room service at a moment's notice, book a room for a business meeting, or even order extra towels. Hilton is also trialling Google Business Photos - a spin-off from Street View - which allows businesses to take 360-degree virtual tours of a hotel's facilities before booking. Douglas Rice, chief executive of the trade group Hotel Technology Next Generation, says that hotels are experimenting in other ways, too. Some are trialling "location services that can alert them, for example, when an arriving guest has landed at the airport or gotten to within a mile of the hotel". And chains like Starwood have piloted "mobile locking", whereby travellers can check in and open their rooms with their mobile phones. Anything that makes the registration process easier has to be welcome. Technology can also help business travellers with the perennial annoyance of losing bags in transit. According to the industry technology provider SITA, about seven bags per 1,000 passengers went missing in 2013. Today's tracking systems rely on barcode technology that is printed on a tag and stuck to the bag. But airports, such as Hong Kong International, Italy's Milano Malpensa, and Denmark's Aalborg International, have introduced radio-frequency identification technology (RFID) to make the process more accurate. "Put simply, RFID chips react to radio frequencies and return their own 'signature'," explains Carlo Gagliardi, co-lead of PwC's digital practice. "The chip can be located some distance from the reader, while a normal barcode needs the reader to be close to the barcode itself." RFID systems have achieved "read rates" of 99% in some cases - but the chips need to get smaller and cheaper if they're to become widespread, Mr Gagliardi admits. There is an elephant in the room, however, and its name is video-conferencing. This technology theoretically removes the need for business people to travel at all, potentially saving billions in costs and drastically reducing companies' carbon footprints. Free online video, voice and text services from the likes of Skype would seem to make the business case compelling. But Tudor Aw, partner and technology sector head at KPMG, says video-conferencing just has not taken off in the way that many people predicted. "High-grade video-conferencing facilities are still relatively expensive to install and many organisations understandably do not want to go with cheap or low-quality alternatives for important meetings," he says. Hotel Technology Next Generation's Mr Rice adds that, while the internet certainly has had an impact, it has not reduced "the need, or the desire, to meet people face-to-face". So while traditional business methods persist - and the real world trumps the virtual - people will continue to travel. At least there are some technologies around helping to make this sometimes arduous process more seamless, friendly and productive. "I cannot imagine that Congress would dare leave Washington without a beautiful new Healthcare bill fully approved and ready to go!" he tweeted. But lawmakers remain split on passing a measure to overhaul former President Barack Obama's signature health law. Mr Trump vowed to repeal the law, known as Obamacare, during his 2016 campaign. Arizona Senator John McCain told CBS programme Face the Nation on Sunday that he believes the Republican bill is "probably going to be dead". But the Trump administration adopted an optimistic tone. White House chief of staff Reince Priebus told Fox News Sunday the president expected the Senate to approve a healthcare bill either before the start of lawmakers' August recess "or maybe a little bit into" the summer break. Congress returned to Washington on Monday as a new survey highlighted the number of Americans without health insurance has grown by some two million this year, according to the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index. The Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, which would roll back parts of the 2010 Affordable Care Act and cut the tax increases that fund it, has faced mounting challenges. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced late last month lawmakers would delay a vote on the measure until after the 4 July holiday recess. Liberal groups held protests to express their frustrations over the bill while lawmakers were home for the bank holiday last week. Eight Republican senators had announced they would oppose the bill and the party can only afford to lose two votes to pass it in the upper chamber. A version of the bill passed in the House of Representatives in May after facing a similar delay. Hardline conservatives like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have said they will not support the legislation, arguing the measure does not go far enough to dismantle the law, while moderate Republicans say the bill will harm some of their vulnerable constituents. The non-partisan Congressional Budgetary Office (CBO) found the bill would strip 22 million Americans of health insurance over the next decade. The 142-page Senate draft phases out the expansion of Medicaid, a government health programme for low-income Americans, and imposes deep cuts to the policy. The bill also gives states more latitude in requiring insurers to provide essential health benefits guaranteed under Obamacare, including emergency and maternity care and mental health services. More than 20 million people gained healthcare coverage under Obamacare. Senator Cruz has proposed an amendment that would allow health insurers to sell cheaper, basic plans as long as at least one complies with Obamacare regulations, providing a loophole to the requirement that insurance companies charge sick and healthy consumers at the same rate. Mr Cruz and other conservatives argue it will help lower premiums for healthy Americans, but opponents say it strips protections for sick people and those with pre-existing conditions. A version of the bill with the Cruz amendment is being scored by the CBO. The attack happened in the London Road South area of Lowestoft, Suffolk. Anthony Riley, 25, from Raglan Street has been charged with conspiring to apply a corrosive fluid with intent and is due to appear in court on Friday. Another man has already been charged with throwing a corrosive fluid with intent to disfigure. Mr Riley will appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court in connection with the incident on 14 August. Leon Thompson, 38, of Alma Road, Lowestoft, is due to appear at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday and has yet to enter a plea. If a simple majority votes in favour, as is expected, Ms Rousseff will be automatically suspended from office. Ms Rousseff made a last-ditch appeal to the Supreme Court to stop proceedings, but the move was rejected. The president is accused of illegally manipulating finances to hide a growing public deficit ahead of her re-election in 2014, which she denies. Wednesday's debate started an hour late. Of the first 12 senators to speak, only one argued against an impeachment trial. Senator Telmario Mota of the Democratic Workers' Party said that "this impeachment was born of revenge, hatred and revenge". He also argued that Brazil's Congress was less popular than President Rousseff "and yet she will have to pay the price". "What a country is this?" he asked. Before him, 11 senators said they would vote for the impeachment trial. They included former football player Romario, who is now a senator for the Brazilian Socialist Party, who said the country was going through "a very serious crisis". One of the most passionate speakers in favour of the impeachment trial was Magno Malta of the Party of the Republic. He compared the government of Ms Rousseff to "gangrene" which needed to be removed to make Brazil healthy again. But the atmosphere in the upper house is a far cry from the packed lower house session on 17 April. Many seats are empty and senators can be heard chatting amongst themselves while the speeches are going on. What has been a long, damaging and divisive political process is at a critical moment as the 81 members of the Brazilian Senate prepare to vote on whether or not to subject Dilma Rousseff to a full impeachment trial. The beleaguered president denies the charges against her - that she illegally concealed the scale of the budget deficit. Brazil's first female leader says that what is really happening, first in the lower house of Congress and now in the Senate, is a judicial coup by her political opponents to remove her from office. Whatever the real reasons for impeachment, there is no doubt that Ms Rousseff's leftist Workers' Party is deeply unpopular, with Brazil in the middle of an economic crisis and her government embroiled in a huge corruption scandal. In a recent interview with the BBC, Ms Rousseff appeared to acknowledge that she would be suspended pending an impeachment trial but she said would fight to clear her name and fully intended to resume the final two years of her presidency. If the vote goes against her, Ms Rousseff will be replaced by Vice-President Michel Temer while the impeachment trial lasts. She says Mr Temer is a traitor who is taking part in a political coup against her democratically elected government. Mr Temer was spending Wednesday in meetings with allies, Brazil's O Globo newspaper reported. If the vote is in favour of an impeachment trial, Ms Rousseff is expected to dismiss her entire Cabinet on Wednesday, governing party Senator Humberto Costa was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying. That would allow Mr Temer to appoint his own Cabinet when he takes power on Thursday. Brazil's Attorney General Eduardo Cardozo, the government's top lawyer, said on Tuesday that the Supreme Court should annul impeachment proceedings, arguing that they were politically motivated. The court rejected the appeal on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Ms Rousseff has promised to fight to the end. "I will not resign. That never crossed my mind," she said during a speech at a women's rights conference in the capital Brasilia on Tuesday. The operation on Malala Yousafzai, a campaigner for girls' rights, went well, her father told the BBC. The attack sparked outrage among many Pakistanis, who gathered in several cities for anti-Taliban protests and held prayers for the girl's recovery. The militants said they targeted her because she "promoted secularism". A spokesman for the Islamist militant group, Ehsanullah Ehsan, told BBC Urdu on Tuesday she would not be spared if she survived. The BBC's Aleem Maqbool in Islamabad says the authorities will now have to consider how to protect the girl. He says her family never thought about getting security because they just did not think that militants would stoop so low as to target her. Two other girls were injured in Tuesday's attack, one of whom remained in a critical condition on Wednesday. Malala Yousafzai came to public attention in 2009 by writing a diary for BBC Urdu about life under Taliban militants who had taken control of the valley. By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad Even if Malala Yousafzai survives, life is not going to be the same for her and her family. No place in Pakistan is safe for people targeted by militant groups. She may have to live under state security or in asylum abroad. In either case, her life and her ability to campaign for girls' education in north-western Pakistan will be severely limited. Malala Yousafzai rose to fame because of her innocent but courageous desire to attend school, which translated into a one-girl campaign of resistance when Taliban captured Swat valley in 2009 and ordered girls' schools closed. Several hundred in Swat and neighbouring Bajaur and Mohmand were destroyed. Only a few in urban areas have been rebuilt. The government's inability to rebuild is matched by its ambivalence towards the Taliban, which has enabled them to carry out acts of sabotage with impunity. The question is, will it change now? The attempt on Malala Yousafzai's life has shocked and angered the nation, and reports from parliament suggest a wider anti-Taliban consensus might be in the works - something Pakistan's fractious politicians have rarely achieved before. The group captured the Swat Valley in late 2007 and remained in de facto control until they were driven out by Pakistani military forces during an offensive in 2009. While in power they closed girls' schools, promulgated Islamic law and introduced measures such as banning the playing of music in cars. Malala Yousafzai's brother, Mubashir Hussain, told the BBC that the militants were "cruel, brutal people" and urged all Pakistanis to condemn them. Pakistani politicians led by the president and prime minister condemned the shooting, which the US state department has called barbaric and cowardly. President Asif Ali Zardari said the attack would not shake Pakistan's resolve to fight Islamist militants or the government's determination to support women's education. Army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani visited Malala in hospital on Wednesday and said the Taliban had "failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage". Thousands of people around the world have sent the teenage campaigner messages of support via social media. Schools in the Swat Valley closed on Wednesday in protest at the attack, and schoolchildren in other parts of the country prayed for the girl's recovery. Protests were held in Peshawar, Multan and in Malala's hometown of Mingora, and another rally was expected in Lahore. Late on Tuesday, she was flown from Mingora, where the attack happened, to the city of Peshawar, 150km (95 miles) away, for surgery. Doctors in Peshawar operated on her for hours before managing to remove the bullet early on Wednesday. "The operation went well, now she is ok and the swelling is down," her father, Ziaudin Yousafzai, told BBC Pashto. "Please pray for her, the next 24 to 48 hours are very important. Doctors are saying we don't need to shift her. It's good for her to be here now." A medically equipped plane had been placed on standby at Peshawar airport as medical experts tried to determine whether she would need further treatment overseas. Police said they had arrested more than 40 people in the area, but all were later released on bail. Correspondents say the arrests are part of a routine, and even the police do not believe they have found the attackers. Swat women on changing life Diary of a Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai earned the admiration of many across Pakistan for her courage in speaking out about life under the rule of Taliban militants, correspondents say. She was just 11 when she started her diary, two years after the Taliban took over the Swat Valley and ordered girls' schools to close. Writing under the pen-name Gul Makai for BBC Urdu, she exposed the suffering caused by the militants. Her identity emerged after the Taliban were driven out of Swat. She later won a national award for bravery and was nominated for an international children's peace award. Since the Taliban were ejected, there have been isolated militant attacks in Swat but the region has largely remained stable and many of the thousands of people who fled during the Taliban years have returned. "I don't know where this came from. There is nothing to pardon," Jay Sekulow said. On Saturday, Mr Trump said he had "complete power" to issue pardons, following reports he had asked advisers about the scope of his authority. Criminal and congressional inquiries are underway into alleged collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign. Earlier in the week, the Washington Post reported that Mr Trump had inquired about his ability to pardon himself, family members or aides in connection with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into claims Russia interfered in the US election. Mr Trump has reportedly been infuriated that the inquiry has widened to consider his finances and close family. Presidents have broad abilities to issue pardons and Mr Trump could potentially restrict Mr Mueller's investigation. His tweet said: "While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS." But Mr Sekulow said they were not looking into the question of pardons. "We're not researching it, I haven't researched it because it's not an issue we're concerned with or dealing with," he told ABC. He went on to say whether a president could pardon themselves remains an open question. "With regard to the issue of a president pardoning himself, there's a big academic discussion going on right now," he added. "From a constitutional, legal perspective you can't dismiss it one way or the other." A spokesman for the Democratic Party called the reports Mr Trump could pardon himself "extremely disturbing". US intelligence agencies think Russia tried to help Mr Trump to power. Russia denies this, and the president says there was no collusion. The new board of Glasgow Clyde College has reversed a decision to take disciplinary action against Susan Walsh. No reason was given for Ms Walsh's suspension in February. Last week the Scottish government removed the chairman and board of the college, citing governance failures. Glasgow Clyde College was formed following the merger of Anniesland, Langside and Cardonald colleges. Detectives want to speak to Arthur Collins, 25, from Hertfordshire, over the incident which saw 20 people suffer burns inside Mangle E8. Mr Collins is believed to be the boyfriend of TV personality Ferne McCann. She urged him to go to a police station immediately. A witness said the attack left two men "unable to see". Officers believe a dispute between two groups of people resulted in a noxious substance being sprayed directly at two people and hitting others. Police do not believe the attack was gang related. No arrests have been made. Ferne McCann appeared in The Only Way Is Essex, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and This Morning. Three other stars of The Only Way Is Essex - Jamie Reed, Jade Lewis and Chloe Meadows - were also reported to be among the hundreds evacuated from the LoveJuice event. A spokeswoman for Ms McCann said: "Ferne is aware that the police wish to speak to Arthur Collins and the nature of the accusations against him. "Obviously these are highly shocking and Ferne has co-operated with the police in their inquiries. "She was not with Arthur on Sunday night, was not at Mangle, and has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded. "As much as anybody she wants to know the truth and urges Arthur to co-operate fully with the police and attend a police station immediately." Emergency services were called to the nightclub in Hackney at 01:10 BST on Monday. Twelve people were taken to hospital for treatment, while two men aged 24 and 29 have been taken to a specialist burns unit at an Essex hospital. A 20-year-old woman, who was also injured in the attack, said "they couldn't see". She said the men were "two black guys, but their faces were turned white because of the acid". The witness, who asked not to be named, said she had not see any argument or fight in the club but "in the space of two minutes people went from dancing to the acid being thrown". "I was standing by the bar and then I got hit by something that at first felt like water but then my arms started blistering," she said. A 25-year-old woman who suffered burns to her foot said people in the "packed" venue suddenly started shouting "go, go, go" and "let's move, let's move". She said the acid had caused a "red circle" around her toes around the size of a 50p piece, which caused a strong "stinging" pain. Some witnesses have criticised security saying sufficient searches had not been carried out at the event but the club's owners have not commented. The company behind the event tweeted it was co-operating with the police investigation. The 29-year-old, who moved to Pompey on a free transfer from Crawley in June 2014, initially rejoined the Red Devils on a 28-day deal in February. Former Exeter and Peterborough keeper Jones has made four appearances and kept one clean sheet since returning to the Checkatrade.com Stadium.

Jan Jedrzejewski, 41, of the city, was found unconscious on Keene Street, Lliswerry, at about 23:00 GMT on Thursday and later died in hospital. Three men and a teenager have been arrested and remain in custody. Gwent Police has now revealed details of Mr Jedrzejewski's final movements and asked for help from a witness seen on a bike at the time. The force posted a request for help on Facebook on Sunday. Supt Glyn Fernquest said Mr Jedrzejewski was last seen in Ladbrokes in Pill at about 19:45 on Thursday, before he left to walk towards Cromwell Road, with officers keen to speak to anyone who saw him between 20:00 and 22:10. "He was a distinctive man - he was 6ft 2in (187cm), with a stocky build and he was wearing a hi-vis, fluorescent jacket," he said. "We're particularly interested in speaking to a man seen riding a bike along Cromwell Road, seen opposite the entrance to Keene Street at the time of the incident. "The man was wearing a dark, possibly black, jacket, blue jeans and a grey or light coloured rucksack on his back. If this is you, please be assured you are not in any trouble. We just need to speak to you. You hold vital information to this inquiry." Two men aged 18 and a 17-year-old boy were arrested on Friday, with a 43-year-old man arrested on Saturday - all on suspicion of murder. Barry McNamee's superb pass set up Rory Patterson to strike Derry into the lead in the 10th minute but Keith Treacy levelled 13 minutes minutes. Lukas Schubert also hit the Pat's woodwork but Derry keeper Gerard Doherty made a series of great saves. Derry stay third, a point behind Cork City, who have four games in hand. Fourth-placed Shamrock Rovers are now only three points behind the Candystripes after they defeated Longford Town 2-1 on Friday night. Despite losing ground to their nearest rivals, Derry boss Kenny Shiels is unlikely to have been overly perturbed by Friday's result. The manager was forced to start without injured centre-backs Ryan McBride and Aaron Barry which led to call-ups for Harry Monaghan and Conor McDermott. Monaghan's lack of experience in the centre-back role was clear in the first half as was caught out on a couple of occasions but McDermott produced an impressive full-back display to win his individual battle with former Derry player Mark Timlin. Patterson's goal came after a brilliant build-up with Schubert, Aaron McEneff and McDermott all involved before McNamee's incisive pass was followed by an accomplished finish. After Billy Dennehy almost levelled within a minute, Schubert headed against the Pat's woodwork two minutes later in probably the game's turning point. Pat's were on terms by the 23rd minute as Republic of Ireland international Treacy finished to the net after McEneff conceded possession near halfway. As Derry lost their way in the remainder of the opening period, goalkeeper Doherty had to make three brilliant saves before half-time to deny two Christy Fagan efforts and a Sean Hoare chance. The second half was more subdued with the superb Doherty saving a Dennehy effort and Niclas Vemmelund spurning a late headed chance for Derry. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province. US policy set in 1979 cut formal relations with Taiwan. Mr Trump's transition team said he and Tsai Ing-wen noted "close economic, political, and security ties". The US is Taiwan's most important ally and provides Taiwan with sufficient weaponry to defend itself. China said it had lodged a "solemn representation" with Washington. According to the state news agency Xinhua, China urged the US "to cautiously, properly handle Taiwan issue to avoid unnecessary disturbance to Sino-US relations". Foreign Minister Wang Yi dismissed the call as a "petty trick" by Taiwan, Chinese state media said. Mr Trump tweeted on Friday that Ms Tsai had called him to congratulate him on winning the US election. His team said that the US president-elect had also congratulated Ms Tsai on becoming the president of Taiwan last January. No US president or president-elect has spoken directly to a Taiwanese leader for decades. Following media reports pointing out the risks of angering China, Mr Trump tweeted: "Interesting how the US sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call." The White House has said Mr Trump's conversation does not signal any change in US policy. US media reported that the White House learned of the call only after it had happened. Mr Trump's spokeswoman said he was "well aware" of US policy towards Taiwan. Read more: What's behind the China-Taiwan divide? The split between China and Taiwan goes back to 1949, when the Republic of China (ROC) Kuomintang (KMT) government fled the mainland to Taiwan after being defeated by the communists under Mao Zedong. The KMT held China's seat on the UN Security Council and was, for a while, recognised by many Western nations as the only Chinese government. But in 1971, the UN switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing. Only a handful of countries now recognise Taiwan's government. Washington cut formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan in 1979, expressing its support for Beijing's "one country, two systems" concept, which states that Taiwan is part of China. But despite the cut, the US remains, by far, Taiwan's most important friend, and its only ally. The Taiwan Relations Act promises to supply Taiwan with defensive weapons. It says that any attack by China on Taiwan would be considered of "grave concern" to the US. China has hundreds of missiles pointing towards Taiwan, and has threatened to use force if it formally declares independence. President Tsai, Taiwan's first female leader, led the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to a landslide victory in the January 2016 election. The DPP has traditionally leaned towards independence from China. President Tsai's administration does not accept the "One China" policy. Read more: Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan's shy but steely leader Mr Trump's decision to turn his back on four decades of US protocol on Taiwan and speak directly to a president of Taiwan has stunned policymakers in Beijing. Since his election last month, they have struggled to understand who is advising Donald Trump on Asia and what his China policy will look like. This move will turn concern into alarm and anger. Beijing sees Taiwan as a province. Denying it any of the trappings of an independent state is one of the key priorities of Chinese foreign policy. Read more from Carrie: The Trump phone call that will stun Beijing China's reaction is relatively mild. It doesn't want to get off on the wrong foot with Mr Trump. And it sees Mr Trump as an inexperienced politician, so for now it's willing to forgive him and not play this up. It may also be somewhat reassured by statements from the US that its policy on China and Taiwan has not changed. But behind the scenes it's safe to say China is working hard to "educate" the Trump team on not repeating such diplomatic faux pas. This move by Taiwan's President Tsai will further infuriate Beijing and make it distrust her even more and see her as favouring Taiwan's formal independence from China. Two Nepali women, aged 30 and 50 working as maids at his home near the capital Delhi, say they were starved and sexually abused by him and other Saudi nationals. The women returned to Nepal on Thursday. The Saudi embassy has denied the charges. The official has diplomatic immunity and is in the embassy. Police have registered a case of rape, sodomy and illegal confinement against the official, without naming him. On Thursday India's foreign ministry called in Ambassador Saud Mohammed Alsati and sought his embassy's cooperation "in the case of 2 Nepali citizens", spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted. The alleged abuse to which they were subjected took place over several months at the apartment in Gurgaon, south of Delhi. The women were rescued from the house on Monday after a tip-off from an NGO. "We thought we would die there," one of the alleged victims told the AFP news agency. "The apartment was on the 10th and 12th floor, there was no way we could run. We were abused every day." Meanwhile, women rights activists have protested outside the Saudi embassy in Delhi demanding the arrest of the accused diplomat. Indian media reports say that the allegations have led to a "diplomatic crisis" between India and Saudi Arabia. "The case has put Indian diplomacy in the spotlight as the victim and the accused are of different nationalities," The Hindu newspaper reported. "Nepal has a special relationship with India...On the other hand, the government would rather not strain ties with Saudi Arabia where three million Indians live and work. Saudi Arabia has been India's largest provider of oil since 2001," the newspaper said. Thousands of men and women from Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries, travel to India and other Asian and Arab states every year to seek work as domestic servants and labourers. Nepal ambassador Deep Kumar Upadhyay told the BBC that they had no idea that a Saudi diplomat was involved when they set out to rescue the two women, adding that they were now seeking a diplomatic solution to the issue. The Grade II* listed building, on the corner of Leece Street and Berry Street, was damaged in a 1941 air raid. A survey found St Luke's Church needed to be made safe following damage caused by winter storms last year. Liverpool City Council approved further phases to be completed by November subject to a funding grant to ensure repairs are "cost effective". It would also prevent disruption to events that would be held in the church. The council is awaiting final approval for a £350,000 grant from Historic England. The first £150,000 phase to repair crumbling stonework, currently being held up by metal supports, is under way. Full restoration work valued at £500,000 includes work to the tower, masonry, low-level stonework, a roof to be put on to the church tower and decorative stonework. The council - who will retain freehold of the site - is expected to appoint an operator to run the venue in the summer. The decision by the California Labor Commission means the driver must be awarded more than $4,000 (£2,544) of expenses for the period she worked. If applied more widely it could mean extra costs such as social security and unemployment insurance. But Uber emphasised the ruling only applied to this one driver. In a statement, it said a previous ruling in California and other rulings in five other US states came to the opposite view, that drivers are contractors. "It's important to remember that the number one reason drivers choose to use Uber is because they have complete flexibility and control. "The majority of them can and do choose to earn their living from multiple sources, including other ride sharing companies." The company is now appealing against the award of more than $4,000 (£2,544) in expenses to the San Francisco former Uber driver, Barbara Ann Berwick. That money is Ms Berwick's "reimbursable business expenses", according to the ruling, including tolls, parking citations, legal fees, interest and mileage. Uber considers its drivers independent contractors and the drivers pay for their own cars, insurance, gas, tolls and general costs of operating. Drivers are paid 80% of each fare. The California Labor Commission ruled that Uber is not just enabling the service between drivers and passengers but is "involved in every aspect of the operation". The commission said Uber would not exist without drivers like Ms Berwick, and that the company depends on the drivers' work. Uber had been arguing that is a "software platform" that simply "matches customer demand with supply". The app-based taxi firm has become one of the world's most valuable start-up companies, operating in more than 50 countries and worth an estimated $50bn. It is believed developer Stanhope PLC is considering pulling out of the scheme to create new shops, restaurants and a bus station. Gloucester City Council unveiled the company in 2011 as a developer and says it is "working with Stanhope" to find a solution. The company has not commented on the development. Stanhope signed a contract with the council in 2012 and has until March 2016 to put in a planning application. That application had been expected in March. City council leader Paul James said both parties have "obligations" and they are "trying to find the best and the quickest way to deliver a scheme". Mr James confirmed that the redevelopment of the city's bus station will go ahead as planned. I've been told that Stanhope PLC is seriously considering the viability of the King Square development. In 2011 the firm was unveiled as the big hope to finally deliver a scheme for this unloved gateway into Gloucester. But to make it work the development needed an "anchor" store and the names bandied about from Ikea to John Lewis have not materialised. Gloucester City Council's leader wouldn't be drawn on if the deal was about to collapse. But what we do know today is the council is looking at a "plan B" and that plan could see cafes, restaurants and a social space and, dare I say it, the fountains might return.

But it is important. As veteran Labour MP Frank Field writes in Blue Labour, Forging A New Politics: "Blue Labour poses the most fundamental of challenges to the Blairite electoral strategy that, despite changes in personnel, remains in place." He continues: "Had the leadership given serious thought to Blue Labour, its worry, if not annoyance, would have quickly turned to alarm." It may, given time, display the level of alarm he thinks is appropriate. Win or lose the election these ideas will be in play, for in these deep and thoughtful essays I hear the future echo of battles yet to be fought. Through them runs a steel core, a determination to remake and remodel the Labour Party. There was a feeling that after Ed Miliband's victory Blue Labour would have the ear of the leadership. It does - but it is less certain if it has the leader's heart or mind. Blue Labour The presence in the shadow cabinet of Blue Labour guru, Jon Cruddas is important. He is also co-ordinator of Labour's Policy Review, and the party's recent tactical policy-making suggests there is still a battle for the strategic vision. Blue Labour preaches a complex gospel, rooted in Christian socialism, urging greater understanding of Labour's working class roots and lost supporters - and their small 'c' conservatism - while rejecting big state solutions in favour of community co-operation. It has a strong sense that politics is a struggle between right and wrong, and that love and work are more important than economic reward. These essays abound with religious phrases like "covenant" and "fall and redemption". Editor Adrian Pabst writes: "Far beyond any other group, Blue Labour has questioned the current consensus at the heart of the Labour Party and British politics - the fusion of social with economic liberalisation under the joint aegis of the central bureaucratic state and the global 'free market'." This suggestion that Blue Labour stands four square against some of Labour's most sacred beliefs is not just bluster. The recent row over the chancellor's plan to give Greater Manchester control of £6bn of NHS money has divided the party. Manchester's Labour MPs are split, while most councillors in the area are for it, and the shadow health secretary claims it will create a two-tier NHS. While this sort of devolution may not be enough for Blue Labour it seems in line with what Cruddas writes in his chapter The Common Good In An Age of Austerity. He says: "No more top-down reorganisation. Instead, locally run and organised schools, hospitals, house-building programmes and habitats. "We need to forge co-operative ties with ethical enterprise - such as co-operatives, mutuals, and social businesses. "Combined local authorities will be given greater control over tax revenues to invest, grow their revenues and fund their own priorities. By decentralising both taxes and services, we can simultaneously get rid of public debt and increase popular power." Mr Cruddas is one of the more fascinating Labour politicians, as set out in this brilliant article. Frustratingly for journalists like me, he rarely gives interviews, so I don't know what exactly he makes of the Manchester row, but earlier he suggested the chancellor had been "agile" and made a "land grab" for Labour policy. His usual public reticence may increase the respect of colleagues who despair at the sight of big egos promoting themselves, sometimes at the expense of the party. I don't know him, so could be wide of the mark, but his history suggests he is that rare thing - a politician genuinely more interested in the victory of his ideas than the furtherance of his career. But the very belief in policy so at odds with the consensus, suggests Blue Labour will not keep its powder dry for ever. If Labour loses in May it is obvious there will be further soul searching about its meaning and purpose. But even if it wins it is likely to be by such a small margin that the debate about how to extend its appeal will be urgent. In government what policies to stress becomes more than academic. Immigration is another issue where clashes are certain. Central to Blue Labour is not only the contention that Labour has abandoned its core voters, but that it misunderstands them. Frank Field insists that many working class voters reject his party because they find its policies "repulsive", rewarding the "social misfit". "They do not see Labour as being committed to the flag, ie being proud of the country; as having a clear stand in defending the country's borders, ie they are soft on immigration; or as promoting a welfare state where rewards have to be earned, i.e. they cater largely for the freewheelers, rather than hard-working families." This raises the suspicion among some of Blue Labour's critics that it summons working class values merely in order to enshrine traditional prejudices as policy. They claim that this could very easily lead to a much darker hue than blue. Of course that depends what solutions are on offer. But it points to a paradox - the attempt to appeal to existing, small 'c', working class attitudes towards nation, welfare and immigration within a framework of working class self-help and community solidarity that may no longer exist. It is indeed a good job that paradox is loved by Blue Labour. Take the introduction by the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. It is intellectually stimulating, even exciting, challenging what he calls the "cultural muddle" that assumes "the 'starting position' for human identity is a solitary, speechless individual who moves out from primitive isolation to negotiate cautiously with other similar creatures". He goes on: "We ought to be more than ever alert to the fact that our self-awareness is shaped by the inseparable awareness of other subjects, that projection into the life of the other is there from the start, that how others speak to us, imagine us, nurture or fail to nurture us, is not an 'extra' to our sense of who or what we are but completely woven into the very idea of being a 'self'." It is thought-provoking stuff, but I doubt it would go down a bomb on the doorstep in Dagenham. This is indeed this the paradox. Part of the Blue Labour equation is not strikingly new. Much of the language seems very Blairite. What is "covenant" but a reincarnation of those aged sound bites "rights and responsibilities" and "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"? These old Blairisms have a very Blue ring to them. However, Blair's appeal to Sun readers was pragmatic to the point of cynicism, Blue Labour, acknowledged romantics, seem to want to draw in these highly individualist and atomised voters by re-positioning them as Mirror readers of yesteryear, thirsting for community and social justice. If this is more than academic meanderings, it is a grand challenge - a desire for acts of summoning, creation and will, that may yet play a big part in the unfolding Labour drama.

The link between a collection of erudite, philosophical essays, a nasty spat within Labour ranks about the NHS and a top level debate in the party over immigration, may not be obvious.

Tiernan O'Halloran's opportunist try helped Connacht move 10-0 ahead but the deficit was halved by the break thanks to a maul try from Niall Scannell. Connacht centre Craig Ronaldson fired over a penalty before a converted penalty try saw the hosts close to within a point. Bundee Aki's late try sealed a win to take Connacht four clear at the top. The opening points came with Ronaldson's penalty punishing a high tackle from Donnacha Ryan. Munster missed 11 tackles in the opening 14 minutes and 22 by the interval - one of those defensive lapses saw hooker Scannell allow O'Halloran clean through for his try, which Ronaldson converted. Munster were quick to respond and after successive line-outs Scannell plunged over from a well-controlled drive, although Ian Keatley was wide with the conversion attempt. Ronaldson's penalty on the hour mark, set up by some excellent ruck work from captain John Muldoon, kept Connacht on course. However, breaks from Keith Earls and Keatley got Munster into try-scoring range and Muldoon's impeding of Andrew Conway in the 22 resulted in a yellow card and penalty try, which Keatley converted. With their lead cut to 13-12, Connacht missed an opportunity to steady their nerves when Ronaldson sent a kickable penalty wide from the right. But rather than defend the one-point margin, they attacked with great ambition and got their reward three minutes from time when Robbie Henshaw's neat break on the Munster 22-metre line and flat offload sent Aki diving over past Conway.

Retired carpenter Lawrence Birch, 78, from Cymau, Flintshire, died at Wrexham's Maelor Hospital in June 2013. He first went to A&E following the fall on 29 March and returned a couple of times until his death. Coroner John Gittins said Mr Birch's family had concerns about the treatment he received on the different occasions. Barrister Angela Barnes said one of the family's concerns was over an apparent lack of transparency in Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board's handling of the case. A full inquest will be held at a later date.

And there were 17 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries - the most serious kind - which was again more than any of the previous Premier League seasons. BBC Sport pundit and former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin says "knee problems appear to be at epidemic proportions in the game at the top level" and has called for further research. A Radio 5 live Monday Night Club discussion will delve into the issue, and BBC Sport has looked at the available data and examined what the possible causes could be. The knee joint has several ligaments. The medial (inside) and lateral (outside) collateral ligaments connect the upper and lower leg and help keep the outside of the knee joint stable. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are in the middle of the knee. The main role of these is to stabilise the knee when a player is turning, twisting, pivoting or pushing off. As football is such a high-intensity sport for the lower limbs, if cruciate knee ligaments are ruptured, the earliest a player can hope to return to match fitness is nine months. Various theories include players' changing physiologies, the amount of football played, footwear, and modern, harder pitches. Dr Bilal Barkatali, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon specialising in sports knee injuries, suggests overplaying and fatigue is the key reason, particularly in high-level footballers. "In the case of Zlatan Ibrahimovic - he's 35 and has kept himself in very good condition. Despite that, the weight of Zlatan coming down from jumping to head the ball and landing safely requires all his muscles to be firing at the correct time to support his joint. "So if he is fatigued and is landing and one specific set of muscles haven't fired in time then all that force will be going through the middle of the knee joint, resulting in this rotation-type force around the knee causing an ACL rupture. So fatigue and overplaying is a really strong factor in how these injuries come about. "In the past 15 years there has been an increase in knee ligament ruptures - that's throughout leagues and amateur competition." Colin Martin, a footwear expert for a company that has worked with several sports clubs, says "softer, less supportive boots" are a factor, as is the pace of the game "increasing vastly". "The two combined probably plays a big role in increased injury rates," adds Martin, who designs inserts that give "more stability to foot and ankle, which in turn means the player has a more solid foundation to work from". In modern turf construction, long deep artificial grass blades are sewn throughout the pitch, which firms up the ground and prevents slipping. Leicester City's grounds manager John Ledwidge said: "We know that those working within the game - namely managers, players, physios and sports scientists - perceive that there are links with pitches and injuries. But they need to establish why that is the case. "I'm not a closed book and arguing that it's not a contributing factor because everything is a contributing factor when it comes to players. "On any one weekend, with the ridiculous transfer fees that are flying around at the minute, we could have upwards of £300m-£400m worth of assets playing on our pitch. "Certainly at Leicester City we work exceptionally to hard to make sure the pitches are kept within certain parameters of firmness, there's an adequate level of moisture, the grass coverage is there for pretty much most of the year, to ensure the players don't get injured and the players have the best possible playing facilities that they can have. "Taking Ibrahimovic as an example - on that day, on that pitch, on that particular square inch that he landed on, the pitch could've been a contributing factor. But so could his boots, the way he warmed up and how tired he was. All these are contributing factors.' Nevin said that when he was the chief executive of Scottish club Motherwell in the early 2000s, he was so concerned about the effect of modern pitches on his players that he looked into reverting to an "old-fashioned" turf pitch, but was told it "wasn't considered financially viable". "We need further statistical work obviously but I have heard many complaints from Premier League managers that the modern ultra-hard pitches seem to be exacerbating the problem," said the former Scotland international. "On top of this remember the players are training on precisely the same style of pitches every day as well. I know for a fact that some managers are concerned about this and have to accept it limits the time some players are able to train. "Yes the game continues to get faster, but the lack of 'give' in the modern pitches certainly has an effect. I did my ACL while at Everton but that was an impact injury, due to a tackle. There appear to be more of these that are not player on player impact and that has to be researched. "In the simplest terms, modern pitches look fantastic, they are beautifully flat and can cope with huge wear and tear. The groundsmen make them look beautiful for the TV, but when the changeover was happening did anyone ever ask the players, the managers or the medics what was needed? "Having played on many types of pitch I see the problems of each, I just hope that 20 years down the line there aren't a group of players whose knees, ankles and hips have been irreparably damaged." According to research from SportingIntelligence.com and insurance and risk specialists JLT, Premier League clubs paid a total of £177m in wages to injured players last season. The estimate is calculated from fixed salaries paid to players and the length of time spent on the sidelines. The research also showed: JLT's head of sport Duncan Fraser said: "We seem to be seeing a case of injury-flation this year. Over the last six seasons there has been a steady increase in the cost of injuries as players become more and more expensive and the Premier League becomes more and more competitive. "Injuries don't just make it harder to manage a team, there is also a direct cost associated with it, in the form of salaries paid to players who can't take part in matches." Listen to BBC Radio 5 live's Monday Night Club on 24 July, from 19:30 BST. "Bradford are a shining light to all lower division teams," Perryman, a two-time FA Cup winner during a 17-year Tottenham career, told BBC Sport. "To beat three Premier League sides, whatever teams they picked, gives everyone hope." Exeter's director of football was in charge of the Bees when they faced the might of Liverpool the last time they reached the FA Cup quarter-finals in 1989. Brentford have reached the FA Cup quarter-finals four times, the last occasion being in the 1988-89 season when they were beaten 4-0 by reigning Division One champions Liverpool at Anfield. Martin Allen guided the Bees to FA Cup fifth-round appearances in 2005 and 2006 where they lost to Premier League sides Southampton, after a replay, and Charlton Athletic. This is the first season in six since that Brentford have got beyond the third round - and in all but one of the other seasons, they have not even got that far. Chelsea and Brentford have only met once before in the FA Cup, with the Blues winning the tie in 1950 by a 1-0 scoreline. The Bees beat a Premier League team on their last appearance in the fourth round, overcoming bottom of the table Sunderland 2-1 in 2006. Charlton 3-1 Brentford A Reds side with John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, Steve McMahon, Ronnie Whelan and Ray Houghton at the peak of their powers ultimately cruised to a 4-0 win at Anfield, But Perryman's Bees, then, like now, a side in the third tier of English football, had their opportunities early on and he was proud of the way his team handled themselves and the occasion. "I think Richard Cadette had two good chances," said Perryman, who skippered Spurs to their FA Cup wins over Manchester City and QPR in 1981 and 1982. "Of course I am a bit biased, and maybe a quarter or a half-chance becomes three quarters of a chance - but we could easily have gone ahead. "I always thought the first goal was so vital. Liverpool were a great side but I felt they could be vulnerable early on and could be slow starters. "We had the first chance early on but didn't take it, and although we didn't live with them in the end, we didn't go there to defend and gave it a really good go." Giving it a good go is exactly what Perryman feels Uwe Rosler's League One promotion hopefuls need to do against an under-pressure Chelsea side who have struggled for consistency since making a blistering start to the season. And while, like that day at Anfield, the odds are stacked heavily in the top-flight side's favour for the first competitive west London derby between the two sides since 1950, Perryman says any FA Cup underdog must be full of belief. "Don't tell me you can't get a slip in the box and a lucky break. It's possible," said the Spurs legend, who also won two Uefa Cups and the League Cup twice during his time at White Hart Lane. "The longer the smaller team are level, the better their chance - and it only takes a defensive error or a great delivery from a set-piece. "There will be a great atmosphere at Griffin Park and that probably lifts the smaller team more than the big team because Chelsea will be used to it. "There are no mugs in the lower divisions now. They are all fit, they will have a spring in their step and they can cause an upset." Perryman was Bees boss for three and-a-half years from 1987, and he believes that cup run - which involved seven games just to reach the quarter-finals - did wonders for their belief. Brentford are not an up-and-under, blowing-the-bugle type team. But actually that will probably suit Chelsea more A squad featuring Andy Sinton, Tony Parks, Neil Smillie, Keith Jones, Gary Blissett and Cadette had to win two replays and beat three higher-division clubs in Manchester City (who won promotion to the old Division One that season), Blackburn Rovers and Walsall to set up their dream tie at Anfield. It did come at a cost though. "Unfortunately, playing all those games hampered our league progress a bit that season," Perryman said. "We were in a good position for promotion and it didn't quite happen. You get involved in so many games there has to be a focus taken away. "But I think it was the prelude to getting promoted under Phil Holder in 1992. That Cup run gave the team such confidence that we could be on the same pitch as the big boys. It was a wonderful experience. "Sinton got sold on the back of that game [to QPR]. He was obviously a good player but showed he could handle it with the big boys." Brentford are currently third in League One, where they have only lost four times all season. Their defeat by Tranmere Rovers last Saturday was their first at Griffin Park since August and up front they have Clayton Donaldson, who has scored 19 goals in all competitions so far this term. But Chelsea legend Ron Harris, who played 795 games for the Blues before taking up a player-coach role with Brentford in 1980, cannot see an upset despite being impressed with the Bees when he saw them beat Southend to tee up the Chelsea tie. Chelsea were beaten 4-0 by Barnsley in the FA Cup third round in the 1988-89 season but went on to win the old Division Two title. The Blues reached their first FA Cup final in 24 years in 1994 but were brushed aside 4-0 at Wembley by a Manchester United side who clinched the double with that emphatic victory. Chelsea won the 1997 FA Cup final, their first major trophy in 27 years and their second FA Cup success. Since then they have won the competition five further times, in 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012. They have won the FA Cup in four of the last six seasons, and have appeared in six of the 13 finals this century. Chelsea v Manchester United 1994 FA Cup final "They looked a half-decent side," Harris told BBC Sport. "Rosler has got them playing some decent football. "Brentford are not an up-and-under, blowing-the-bugle type team and they played it around pretty well. But actually that will probably suit Chelsea more. "It's a fantastic tie for Brentford. You get upsets every year but I just cannot see it in this game. "Brentford would have to play out of their skin to beat Chelsea and Chelsea would have to play very poorly." Notts County coach Colin Lee, a former Chelsea and Bees player, has been impressed with League One rivals Brentford this season, but cannot see an upset despite the turmoil at Stamford Bridge and the supporters' anger at Rafael Benitez's appointment as manager. "Chelsea will put out a very strong team. Brentford deserve that but I think Chelsea will have too much for them," he said. Lee joined Brentford from the Blues in 1987 and combined playing duties with a first foray into management as a youth team coach. And although he was not involved in the game at Anfield, he was still on the playing staff and fondly recalls his spell with the Bees and the excitement that Cup run created. Ron Harris, Micky Droy, Keith Jones, Tommy Baldwin, Colin Lee, Steve Sidwell, Joe Allon, Graham Wilkins, Peter Borota and Stewart Houston. "It's a great club," Lee said. "I had a fantastic couple of years there. They were good times and good people and some of those people are still involved. "The fans will remember this game for a long time. The Liverpool game created a real buzz and the local element will add that extra buzz this time. "It will be fantastic for the whole area. There is nothing better than playing a local FA Cup derby against the European champions. What more can you want?" Listen to live commentary of Sunday's FA Cup tie between Brentford v Chelsea from BBC London 94.9 (UK only). The country's human rights commission said opponents of President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party had been told they would never get any food aid. The government has not yet commented. Mr Mugabe declared a state of disaster in February, with the government estimating that four million people would need food aid by January 2017. "Ruling party members were the major perpetrators in violations linked to distribution of food," Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) chairman Elasto Mugwadi told media in the capital, Harare, detailing the findings of the investigation. Mr Mugwadi said huge numbers of people had been affected by the alleged tactic, without giving exact figures. The government says half the rural population faces starvation. In recent months, there have unprecedented protest against the government of the 92-year-old leader, who has now been in power for 36 years. Analysis: Brian Hungwe, BBC News, Harare The scathing report on the allegations of the politicisation of food aid in rural areas by senior government officials and public servants lays bare accusations that have long been denied by President Robert Mugabe. The ZHRC says its findings were a result of extensive investigations across the country. It will be difficult for Mr Mugabe to simply dismiss the allegations. The powers of the rights body are enshrined in the constitution, giving it a legal mandate to carry out investigations into human rights violations and to make recommendations to parliament. The political implications of the report are grave, especially with general elections due in 2018, although similar allegations have been made in the past. With growing popular calls for electoral reform, there will be many who fear that this investigation betrays the extreme tactics which may be employed to ensure election victory. Alleged attempts to exert pressure on rural folk by withholding food will be seized on by Mr Mugabe's critics as evidence that his government has reached a new low, especially given the food crisis the country is facing. Zimbabwe has endured two years of failed rains, with this year's problems linked to the El Nino weather pattern. Elections are due to take place in 2018. The government had been looking at either closing the Tornado bases of RAF Lossiemouth in Moray or RAF Marham in Norfolk. Tornado operations were to be relocated to the base remaining open. But the government has decided to keep both operational. But RAF Leuchars will close and become an army base, with its Typhoons leaving for Lossiemouth in 2013 and the army starting to move in later. Concern over RAF Marham's future prompted a major campaign to save the base by councils, MPs and business leaders in Norfolk. South West Norfolk MP Elizabeth Truss, a campaigner to save RAF Marham, said: "I am absolutely delighted. "The campaign was not just based on a simple fondness for the RAF, it was founded on sound economic and strategic principles and I believe that resulted in the decisive decision to make it Marham." In the House of Commons, Defence Secretary Liam Fox praised the work of Ms Truss in the fight to save RAF Marham. Broadland MP Keith Simpson said: "This is excellent news for the RAF and defence of the country and a relief for people of Marham and Norfolk." Mohammad and Talat Aslam had been on a pilgrimage at the time of the crash and are to be buried in the city of Medina. Four members of a family from Manchester were also killed in the accident, on the motorway between Mecca and Medina. The Aslams have five adult children. Some of them have travelled to Medina for the funeral. Family friend Salma Raja said Mrs Aslam had been a lively, exuberant person. Speaking ahead of the funeral, she said: "She used to solve everyone's problems. Anyone who came to her, she never said no. "She was such a lovely person, I can't tell you, she was very, very good. She was never sad. She added: "Mr Aslam was great as well. He was a serious kind of a person. "Talat was more bubbly and outgoing. He was moren you could say intellectual, very, very intelligent. "And he was a very good businessman as well." They were expected to take the train to King's Lynn en route to the Norfolk estate to join other royals. The royal couple are currently at Buckingham Palace. A palace spokesman said: "The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have heavy colds, and so have decided not to travel to Sandringham today." BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell said the Queen and Prince Philip normally took the train around 11:00 GMT from London, but the delay was "no cause for concern". He added: "I would imagine they will wish to travel as soon as they feel able to. "They certainly won't want to miss the family Christmas at Sandringham, so I am sure they will return to their plan for Christmas in a day or so." On Tuesday, the Queen, 90, and the Duke of Edinburgh, 95, hosted a festive lunch for the Royal family - a tradition they carry out before travelling to their private estate each year. Prince William was seen arriving with the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and three-year-old Prince George. The palace announced on Tuesday that the Queen would be stepping down as the patron of 25 national organisations. Her patronages will be passed on to other royals, although she will still be patron of hundreds of other organisations. The victims - textile factory workers - were shot dead when an IRA gang ambushed their mini-bus in 1976 near the County Armagh village of Kingsmills. After checking their religion, the gang ordered one Catholic colleague to leave. Only one man survived the shootings. Alan Black, a 32-year-old father of three at the time, was seriously wounded and spent months recovering in hospital. "It was brutal what was inflicted on us," he said. "Ten completely innocent men taken out and brutally murdered. "This time of year, I go into countdown mode - I look at the calendar and at the clock and think to myself: 'The boys have only five days or five hours or five minutes to live,' right up to the time of the ambush. "On a nice summer's day, it is like it happened to someone else in a different life, but when the winter sets in and the dark nights come round it feels like it just happened yesterday. "But I want to see a bit of truth and justice. "For the boys, but mostly for the families who are still searching for the truth." All of the victims came from Bessbrook, County Armagh. Robert Chambers was 19-years-old when he was killed. His brother, Cecil, said his desire for justice has never dimmed. "We're just looking, 40 years on, for justice we should have had long ago. "They killed three of my family, not one, because my mother and father never left his graveside. My mother would forget and put dinner out for him." Ulster Unionist MLA Danny Kennedy, who also comes from Bessbrook, spoke of his memories of the massacre. "I can see the uncontrollable grief of families whose loved ones had been so cruelly taken - sons, husbands, fathers. Decent, hard-working men." A number of statements were read out on behalf of those now too elderly or infirm to attend Tuesday's service. An inquest into the murders announced in 2013 has yet to begin, having been adjourned eight times. The 10 men who killed were John Bryans, Robert Chambers, Reginald Chapman, Walter Chapman, Robert Freeburn, Joseph Lemmon, John McConville, James McWhirter, Robert Samuel Walker and Kenneth Worton. The families of the victims gathered at the spot where they died for a religious service on Tuesday morning. Southend United supporter Andrew Urry, who lives in Brisbane, travelled to Bradford on Saturday but the match was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. "We were told as the coach pulled up outside the stadium," Mr Urry said. "I got off the coach to have a couple of pictures taken outside the away turnstile, and then we were straight back on the road again." Former Southend resident Mr Urry manages to keep up with some matches via the internet, but a trip to watch the Shrimpers play live was to be a highlight of a trip to Europe. "I wanted a trip on a coach as a nostalgia trip, as I used to in the old days," he said. On the coach, Mr Urry used social media to keep him updated with the chances of Saturday's match at Valley Parade going ahead, and said he had a "pretty good idea it was going to be called off". However, it was not until they arrived at the stadium that the postponement was confirmed by a steward. Mr Urry hopes to catch Southend's next three home matches, as well as the Boxing Day local derby at Colchester. The club also made an effort to soften the blow of his wasted journey on Saturday, asking on Twitter: "Would a signed Southend United ball help at all?" The attack happened on the Cullingtree Road at about 06:00 GMT on Sunday morning. The man was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast where he underwent surgery. Sinn Féin councillor Mary McConville said there was a need to address knife crime in the city. "The young man has suffered knife wounds leaving him in a serious condition and his family traumatised," she said. "More needs to be done to deal with the growing knife crime in our society and I am calling on young people not to be drawn into carrying knives." SDLP MLA Alex Attwood described the attack as "shocking and appalling". "There is growing concern about the rise in knife crime attacks in Belfast," he added. "Any level of knife crime is unacceptable, and more needs to be done to deal with knife crime in our society." Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them. Tulip Siddiq said she "cannot reconcile myself to the front bench position". Jeremy Corbyn has imposed a three-line whip on his MPs telling them to back the newly-published bill. The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill has been produced after the Supreme Court ruled legislation would be necessary. In her resignation letter to Mr Corbyn, Ms Siddiq, who had been an early years minister, said: "Leaving the European Union presents enormous uncertainty for my constituents, with most believing that the disadvantages of leaving outweigh any potential benefits." Despite reports he might rebel, Shadow Business Secretary Clive Lewis said on Thursday he would back the bill. But he added: "Labour will seek to amend the Bill to prevent the government using Brexit to trash our rights, public services, jobs and living standards while cutting taxes for the wealthiest." Labour MPs expected to vote against the bill at second reading include former leadership challenger Owen Smith, former culture secretary Ben Bradshaw and Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner. Mr Corbyn said Labour MPs would face a three-line whip to vote in favour of the bill. He said he understood the "pressures and issues" members faced, but called on them to "unite" around "important issues" and "not to block Article 50 but to make sure it goes through next week". Frontbench members of parties are generally expected to resign from their post if they decided to defy a three-line whip. Prime Minister Theresa May has promised to begin the formal process of quitting the European Union, under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, by the end of March. The government was forced to draw up the legislation after losing an appeal at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, when judges ruled that Parliament must give permission to start the Brexit process. The bill is due to be initially debated by MPs on Tuesday - in a sitting that may last until midnight - and clear the Commons on 8 February, after which it will move to the House of Lords. As well as the bill, on Wednesday Prime Minister Theresa May announced the government would set out more details of its Brexit plans in a formal policy document. In the House of Commons, MPs urged Mr Davis to commit to publishing the document, known as a White Paper, before the Article 50 bill legislation had passed through Parliament. Mr Davis said the question involved "slightly separate issues". The Article 50 bill, he said, was "about carrying out the will of the British people", adding that the White Paper would be published "as expeditiously as possible". The Liberal Democrats have vowed to oppose Article 50 unless there is a guarantee of another referendum on the final Brexit deal that is agreed with Brussels, while the SNP has vowed to table 50 amendments to the legislation. Taking questions from MPs, Mr Davis also said he disagreed with EU Commission chief negotiator Michel Barnier's view that trade talks would have to be handled separately from the Article 50 negotiations. Such a "sequential approach" would be "not practical", he said, adding that he wanted all negotiations to be completed inside two years. The UK-based Syria Observatory for Human Rights said that 27 IS fighters were killed, with the rest being from other anti-government groups. Marea lies in an area that Turkey and the US have reportedly wanted to turn into an IS-free "safe zone". Last month it was alleged IS had used chemical weapons in an attack on Marea. Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said that on 21 August it had treated four members of a family who suffered from breathing difficulties and developed blisters after a mortar hit their home in Marea. The Syrian American Medical Society has also reported receiving 50 patients showing symptoms of chemical exposure. Local rebels say the shells were fired from an IS-held village to the east. Last month the US said it suspected IS of having used chemical agents in another attack on Kurdish forces in northern Syria. Reports of a sulphur mustard attack on Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in Iraq are also being investigated. Also on Saturday, US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concern to his Russian counterpart over reports of "an imminent enhanced Russian military build-up" in Syria. On Friday the New York Times reported that US officials believed Russia had sent a military advance team to Syria and was "taking other steps the United States fears may signal that President... Putin is planning to vastly expand his military support for [Syrian] President Bashar al-Assad". Mr Kerry "made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL coalition operating in Syria," the state department said. The 28-year-old DR Congo international was released by the Baggies at the end of the season. Mulumbu made 211 appearances in six years with Albion, having joined them from Paris St-Germain in 2009, initially on loan. Fellow midfielder Graham Dorrans also made the move from The Hawthorns to the Premier League newcomers this summer. Norwich are yet to officially comment on the reports of Mulumbu's move. Rates were first cut to 0.5% in March 2009 as the Bank sought to lift economic growth amid the credit crunch. Recent growth in the economy has prompted speculation that rates will start to rise again in the near future. However, continuing low inflation, now at 0.3%, gives policymakers little reason to raise the cost of borrowing. The Bank also kept the size of its quantitative easing (QE) programme unchanged at £375bn. Inflation is expected to remain low, and could even turn negative briefly, thanks largely to a near-halving in the price of oil since last summer. Bank of England governor Mark Carney has even talked about lowering interest rates further to a new record low, should prices remain near flat for longer than expected. However, Mr Carney has said prices are likely to rebound around the turn of the year. Most developed economies are used to prices rising. The fear is that if prices do start to fall, consumers will put off buying goods in the hope of further price falls. With the economy around 70% dependent on consumer spending, any slow down could have a harsh impact on overall economic growth. Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said the next rate rise could be almost a year away. "While the risks of an earlier rate rise have probably increased lately, we still think it most likely that the Bank will wait until February 2016, by which time inflation will be back above 1% and heading towards the 2% target." Fund manager Investec, however, thinks there is a case for rates to rise in November this year. David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) called for the Bank to reveal its plans: "The strengthening pound against the euro is already posing challenges for many UK exporters and higher interest rates would only make matters worse. "Given this background, business confidence will be strengthened if the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) clearly states that interest rates are likely to stay on hold until at least early 2016." Minutes of last month's MPC meeting showed members voted unanimously for no change to rates. However, there was a debate revealing a three-way split between the nine members as to their future direction, with two arguing there could be a case to raise rates later this year, while one member said the next change in rates was "likely to be a loosening as a tightening". Low interest rates are a boon to borrowers and have kept mortgage payments at record lows. However, savers and pensioners have suffered. Financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown estimates savers have collectively lost £130bn during the six years of record low rates, compared with more normal rates - £5,000 for every household. The 25-year-old is accused of assaulting a 26-year-old woman and inflicting actual bodily harm on her on Sunday. She had to be treated for facial injuries after an assault in Drayton Road. The accused, who was arrested on Wednesday, will appear before magistrates in Norwich later. Pranav Dhanawade, son of an auto-rickshaw driver, had just scored more than 1,000 runs in a single innings to set a new world record in school cricket. An army of reporters had descended to find out more about the young cricketer, who The Guardian called "the first cricketer to navigate the nervous 990s". The teenager was crisp and brief while facing the excited media after his enervating innings. "I wanted to score big runs. I remember my coach telling me that no one will take me in the Mumbai team if I score these hundreds and two-hundreds," he told The Indian Express newspaper. Dhanawade's life has changed overnight after he smashed a mind-boggling 1,009 not out for his Smt KC Gandhi School in an inter-school game for the HT Bhandari Cup, an under-16 tournament. An aggressive batsman by nature, he made merry at the crease for over six and a half hours. He faced 327 deliveries, hit 129 fours and 59 sixes, and ended up with an awe-inspiring strike rate of 308.56. It surely helped that the opposition Arya Gurukul School weren't fielding their first team for this two-day game. Their senior players were away preparing for an exam. Some of their bowlers were as young as 11. They batted first and were shot out for an inglorious 31 runs in 20 overs. Dhanawade opened the batting for Smt KC Gandhi. At lunch, he had scored 45 runs. By the end of Monday he was unbeaten at 652 runs. The ground was small and the boundaries came fast and furious. "When I go to bat, I only keep in mind that I had to play a big innings and after playing on and on I scored 100 runs, 200, 300, 400 runs," he told the BBC. The family's phones kept ringing on Monday night. Friends and relatives were delirious: Dhanawade had already broken Arthur Collins' 1899 record of 628 not out, and the Indian school cricket record of 546 runs by Prithvi Shaw. Tuesday brought with it an avalanche of expectations. Dhanawade's voracious appetite for runs had not waned: by lunch, he had scored an astounding 921 runs. Spectators and reporters had begun invading the ground during the breaks in play. A few well-wishers cordoned him as he scampered to the dressing room at tea break. After lunch, he crossed 1,000 runs. KC Gandhi declared with their score on 1,465 of three, and Dhanawade had scored nearly 70% of his team's total. He had his share of luck - a few catches dropped and a couple of stumpings missed by the opponents. The one-sided contest ended with Arya Gurukul being bowled out for a paltry 56 in the second innings, giving Dhanawade's team an emphatic 1,382-run innings win. The match umpire says he was impressed with Dhanawade's mindset and fitness. "I would say he was 101% fit [temperamentally], and even after scoring so much he was not tired," Sunimal Sen told ESPNcricinfo. "Many times we see that batsmen, after scoring a hundred, say 'Sir we want water', but he did not create this type of disturbance. He was very fit." Life hasn't been easy for young Dhanawade and his family. His father Prashant, an auto-rickshaw driver, has done everything he could to support his son's cricketing dream. Dhanawade had taken a two-year-break from cricket due to "some issues". There was a time when his mother Mohini would reprimand him for not focusing on studies. His father had worked overtime to ensure his son got a cricket kit. On Monday, they stood beside him, beaming with pride, with tears of joy, accepting the accolades. They also learnt that the Maharashtra government had decided to fund their son's studies and sports. Dhanawade's innings propelled him to the top of the trends on Twitter in India, where reactions to his innings ranged from praise to shock and disbelief. Sachin Tendulkar congratulated him - "You need to scale new peaks!," he tweeted. But the biggest - and measured - accolade possibly came from Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni. "To score like that anywhere in the world, in those conditions, is very difficult. Not to forget the age of the individual," Dhoni told reporters.. "We need to nurture him, guide him, because all of a sudden the limelight will be on him. He will be compared with a lot of individuals who have been very successful. It is important for the individuals who are close to him - his coach, his parents - to guide him to move in the right direction." For the moment, Dhanawade is still soaking in his new-found celebrity and trying to make sense of it. "I want to become a big cricketer. I want to play for India," he says. Nishad Pai Vaidya is a Mumbai-based journalist The night tsar will work with Mr Khan, the Night Time Commission, businesses, councils, Met Police and Transport For London to make London a "24-hour city". The one-year post comes less than a week after the launch of the Night Tube, which is expected to add £77m to the city's economy each year by 2029. The successful candidate will work two-and-half days a week for £35,000. An advert on the mayor's website states the night tsar needs to demonstrate "proven leadership ability, public profile and convening power, plus a thorough understanding of the night time economy and the ability to work in a political environment". The deadline for applications is on the midnight of 12 September and interviews will take place the following week. Night Tube services began on the Victoria and Central lines on Friday, with more than 100,000 people riding the Tube in the early hours on the first weekend. The service will be rolled out to the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines this autumn. Media playback is not supported on this device The 22-year-old Ivorian has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the reigning champions, after passing a medical on Monday. The club says Coulibaly will start training with the squad on Wednesday. The striker also received an offer from Al Ahly's rivals Zamalek, after both clubs agreed fees with Kilmarnock. "Souleymane has always been fully committed to Kilmarnock, but once they agreed a fee, he was given permission to talk to the two clubs," said Coulibaly's agent, Lee Payne. "It was too good an offer for Kilmarnock to turn down, and Souleymane is extremely grateful to Kilmarnock for his time at the club and the opportunity. "Al Ahly are one of the biggest clubs in this part of the world and are top of the Egyptian league. This is a club that match Souleymane's ambitions." The former Tottenham trainee signed a three-year deal at Kilmarnock last summer after arriving as a free agent following a season at Peterborough. He has scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for Lee Clark's side this season, including several spectacular strikes. Darren Cunningham, 39, who has waived his right to anonymity, said he was "happy" Tony and Julie Wadsworth were found guilty. The couple presented on both BBC WM in Birmingham and BBC Radio Leicester. They were each jailed for five years for sex offences against under-age boys between 1992 and 1996. Julie Wadsworth, 60, and her husband Tony, 69, of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, were convicted of encouraging six boys to take part in sexual activity and outraging public decency by having sex in woodland. Mr Cunningham who was 14 when he was groomed by the pair, said he came forward to help others. He said: "If [I'd] told the police, perhaps this wouldn't have happened to anyone else. "I've got six children, three stepchildren and three children of my own, and just the thought of somebody doing that to them, it just made me feel sick and I thought I've got to tell." Mr Cunningham said it was "daunting" at court and "while you're giving your evidence, they were just sat opposite me... and Julie just stared at me the whole time". Mr Cunningham added: "I wanted them to get sentenced so it didn't happen to anyone else. It wouldn't matter if they they got two years or got 20. "They are at an age now where five years is a big chunk of their life, 60 and 70 years old. So they will feel the punishment and I'm sure people in prison will know who they are." Julie Wadsworth was convicted of nine indecent assaults against boys and five counts of outraging public decency. Her spouse, who acted as a "look-out", was found guilty of the same charges. Prosecutors said the abuse took place at a number of locations, including the couple's former home in Atherstone, Warwickshire, as well as on a nearby golf course and surrounding woodland. A BBC spokesman has previously said the Wadsworths were last on air in December 2015 and no longer work for the corporation. The Ulster Unionist served as culture minister between 1999 and 2002, then health minister from 2007 until 2011. He said he regards his time in charge of the health department as one of the highlights of his career. However, he is concerned about how the health service will be funded in the future. That is one of the key findings of an Audit Office (NIAO) report. It also found only one in five SEN statements were completed within the recommended 26 weeks in 2015-16. The NIAO concluded that neither the department nor the Education Authority (EA) could ensure they were achieving "best outcomes" for children with SEN. The report also said that, although it cost £55m to provide classroom assistants for children with statements of SEN - documents that set out the specific help they require in school - their support may not be effective. "The provision of a classroom assistant is often considered as a key form of support given to children with a statement of SEN yet their impact, or that of any other support provided, has not been evaluated at a strategic level," the report said. The term "special educational needs" is defined as a "learning difficulty which calls for special provision to be made". There were 76,300 children with SEN in Northern Ireland's schools in 2016/17, 22% of the entire school population. It costs more than £250m annually to provide help for them, most of which comes from the EA budget. The vast majority are educated in mainstream schools, and it was their situation the NIAO report concentrated on. About 17,000 children with the most significant needs have a statement of SEN. The EA is required to complete an assessment and statement in 26 weeks, but the NIAO found there were delays at all stages of the assessment process. As a result, almost 80% of new statements issued in 2015-16 took longer than the statutory 26-week time limit. According to the EA, the majority of delays were because of difficulty in getting information from health trusts on time. It cost £80m to provide specific help for pupils with statements in 2015-16 - a 45% rise in costs since 2011-12. The NIAO said some schools were very good at providing help for pupils with SEN, and cited a number of examples of good practice. These included the High School, Ballynahinch and St Paul's High School in Bessbrook as well as Lagan College and Aquinas Grammar in Belfast. However, it said there was not a consistent approach across all schools. The report did acknowledge that a greater proportion of children with SEN were leaving school with GCSEs or A-Levels and fewer were leaving school with no qualifications. In conclusion, the comptroller and auditor general Kieran Donnelly said neither the DE nor EA could ensure they were achieving the best outcomes for children with SEN. "Neither the department nor the Education Authority can currently demonstrate value for money in terms of economy, efficiency or effectiveness, in the support to children with special education needs in mainstream schools," he said. "It is therefore crucial that the department and the EA assess the quality of support provided by formally evaluating it in terms of the progress made by children. "This will allow resources to be focused on the types of support which maximise progress and improve outcomes." Plymouth's Theatre Royal has raised £1m but it needs to double that if it is to receive £5m from the Arts Council. Adrian Vinken, the theatre's chief executive, has warned if they do not get all the money they will have to cut back on their plans. The redevelopment will see the re-cladding of the building to cut energy costs as well as a new box office. The conditions for the Arts Council grant were that the theatre itself raised £2m and agreed to extend the venue's lease for an additional 15 years. Theatre managers secured a further £2m from Plymouth City Council which owns the building. Other proposals include an extension to the front of the building allowing level access, an outdoor terrace and a new studio space in the basement to provide space for young people and community groups. Mr Vinken said: "There are other elements like the landscaping around the building, like some of the cladding and fit out internally that we would have to compromise on if we can't raise the full sum." The planned works would begin in April 2013 if the theatre is successful in raising the additional funds. The theatre would reopen in September 2013 with the launch of the first UK tour of the National Theatre's production of War Horse. Phil Gibby, the Arts Council England's director for the South West, said: "This project will provide a boost to the Theatre Royal, creating more space and making the building more useable, more attractive and more energy efficient. "This will benefit audiences, those who participate in educational activities at the theatre and contribute to Plymouth's culture and regeneration." During the refurbishment work the Theatre Royal is looking at proposals to run an alternative theatre at TR2, the Theatre Royal's other site in Cattedown in the city. Flash floods were reported, with a freight train derailed after the rail tracks were washed away. Patricia was the strongest storm ever recorded in the Americas but quickly lost power as it passed over mountainous Mexican terrain. There, the damage done was less than feared with no reported deaths. Authorities have expressed relief, but some homes were flooded and water and power were out along parts of the thinly populated Costa Alegre. A clean-up is in progress. Patricia quickly weakened but combined with a separate storm system to bring heavy rain to Texas and other areas on the Gulf of Mexico - with some areas getting more than a month's worth of rain. In Houston, Mayor Annise Parker warned residents to stay away from roads after dark and beware of flash floods. Several motorists were reportedly stranded. The US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas near Austin was also affected by the bad weather. In San Antonio, a man was reported to have been swept into a drainage ditch and is now considered missing, authorities said. Flood warnings were in place for eight south-eastern Texas counties. The town of Powell, 60 miles (100km) south of Dallas, worst hit, Reuters news agency reported, with 20in (50cm) of rain falling over the weekend. Flooding derailed a freight train on Saturday near Corsicana. The two crew swam to safety Flights have been cancelled at Dallas Fort Worth international airport. However, meteorologists predict that the bad weather should clear during Sunday, moving on to Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia, which could also experience heavy rain. Shrewsbury-born Phillips joined Aston Villa from his home town club in 1969 and signed for the Blues in 1971. He made 149 appearances for the London club and won the first of his four Wales caps against England in 1973. Phillips spent a loan spell at Crewe Alexandra before joining Brighton and Hove Albion in 1980 and also played for Charlton Athletic and Crystal Palace. All of the windows on the shed - a finalist in the national Shed of the Year competition - have been smashed. A bird was also found dead in an aviary following the raid at Stonebridge City Farm in Nottingham. Staff believe it could have died of fright. It is the second time the farm has been targeted over the past few days. Marie Rogers, the farm's manager, said the Star Wars shed was in the play area and used by children who "loved" it. She said: "Everybody's devastated, we work a lot with adults with disabilities and others who work hard to maintain the farm. "It's mindless vandalism instead of watching the Great British Bake Off." She said cameras are installed but thinks the vandals evaded them. "People are offering to come and sleep here with their dogs," she added. The farm was initially broken into on Sunday evening, when vegetables were smashed up and every shed was broken into. Staff then left the farm at about 17:30 BST on Wednesday and returned at 08:30 the following morning to find further chaos. As well as the shed being smashed up, the chicken houses had been overturned, while the birds were sleeping inside, and chickens and turkeys had been let out of their cages. Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them. The three properties, off High Street in Ruabon, were left as empty "eyesores" with the developer now in liquidation. They became magnets for anti-social behaviour but the Crown took ownership and will hand them to Wrexham council. Wales and West Housing Association will demolish them and build social housing. The Welsh Government provided financial support to help community councillors and campaigners resolve the situation over the properties, built in 2000. Clwyd South AM Ken Skates said: "Irresponsible developers left this community with an eyesore which many thought they'd be stuck with forever." With election day in touching distance, late last month FBI director James Comey said the bureau was investigating new emails potentially connected to its investigation into Mrs Clinton's private email server. He has since faced a backlash from leading Democrats, with President Obama saying investigations should not operate on "innuendo" and the party's leader in the US Senate, Harry Reid, even suggesting Mr Comey may have broken the law. There was little sign that US voters would see a conclusion before the final vote. But now, in another letter, Mr Comey has effectively concluded they have found nothing new. And Mr Trump has made his displeasure clear. "You can't review 650,000 emails in eight days," Mr Trump told a rally in Michigan. "Hillary Clinton is guilty, she knows it, the FBI knows it, the people know it and now it's up to the American people to deliver justice at the ballot box on 8 November." Several computing experts, though, say otherwise. "That's taking a rather naive view of it," the University of Surrey's Adam Woodward said of Mr Trump's claim. "The investigators don't go through each email manually." The emails themselves were found on a device belonging to Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Mr Weiner, a former congressman, is subject to a separate FBI investigation. Details about the fresh FBI inquiry remain scant. Several reports say that the emails discovered were simply duplicates of ones already examined. In the latest letter, Mr Comey said investigators had "reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State", leaving open the possibility they were still looking into some of the emails. For Steven Murdoch, a research fellow at the University of London, the key word is "review". "It doesn't mean they have been read," he said, adding that privacy considerations and the sheer volume of data would have been prohibitive. Despite the seemingly intimidating size of the email cache, there are several ways they could have been narrowed down, experts say, such as using the to and from field to determine which messages came from Mrs Clinton, filtering out duplicate emails, or using search parameters. Dr Murdoch compared the process to how officials might root through vast amounts of court documents. Using these techniques, it is unlikely there would have been many emails investigators would have to read with their own eyes. "Very quickly you would find that the haystack becomes the needle," said Dr Woodward. Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden offered a few more tips to the authorities on how they might go about their search. Mr Snowden suggested they may have used hashing, which would involve coding the two sets of emails into a shorter expression of that data for quick comparison - something the authorities presumably had a head start on given the months of investigation into Mrs Clinton's email use. Speaking anonymously, one former FBI expert told Wired he had processed much larger sets faster. "We'd routinely collect terabytes of data in a search," he said. "I'd know what was important before I left the guy's house." For the Errata Security blog, "the question isn't whether the FBI could review all those emails in eight days, but why the FBI couldn't have reviewed them all in one or two days. Or even why they couldn't have reviewed them before Comey made that horrendous announcement that they were reviewing the emails." Stephen Lawrie and another man stole more than £900 from a Tesco Express in Airdrie on 14 September 2014. He also admitted jabbing an air pistol into the stomach of a 76-year-old man and hitting a worker over the head. Lawrie, 40, was caught after his DNA was found on a broken part of the weapon. He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a later date. He pleaded guilty to assault and robbery as well as possessing an imitation firearm. The High Court in Glasgow heard that Lawrie and another man, who was armed with a knife, were both masked when they carried out the raid. Lawrie demanded that 76-year-old shopper Hugh Goldie get on the ground before pushing what appeared to be a handgun into his stomach, causing him to fall. Staff were then told to fill a bag with cash. Lawrie then yelled that no-one was to call for help before hitting worker John Turnbull on the head with the weapon. The pair escaped but Lawrie was caught after his DNA was found on a broken part of the weapon that was recovered by police. The father-of-four, from Coatbridge, will be sentenced next month. The Tweed Valley Osprey Project (TVOP) said it was behaviour which "wouldn't be out of place on an episode of Jeremy Kyle for ospreys". The images show the male bird - SS - in the nest along with "squabbling females" Mrs O and FS2. Information officer Diane Bennett said they hoped it would all end with an egg appearing in the nest. "Mrs O has not given up her battle to remain as the partner of SS at the main nest even though FS2 has tried to usurp her and steal her partner," she said. "It seems that having the attention of two females demanding fish and moving in on his territory is all a little too much for SS. "The squabbling females were both on the nest with SS but rather than make a choice and send one of them packing, he wimped out and flew off leaving the females to battle it out for themselves." However, she said the male bird took "full advantage of the situation" and mated with "whichever female was alone at the nest whenever he returned". Ms Bennett said it appeared that Mrs O now seemed to be winning the battle as FS2 had not been seen at the nest for a few days. "She could be laying eggs which have been fertilised by SS into another nest," she said. "This is the sort of behaviour that wouldn't be out of place on an episode of Jeremy Kyle for ospreys." She added that they hoped to see an egg in the nest soon before time ran out for any chicks this season. The A467 Ystradgynlais bypass between Brecon Road and the junction for Gurnos was closed on Saturday morning. Dyfed-Powys Police have confirmed the road has reopened. Low-cost carrier Eurowings, which is part of the Lufthansa Group, will start flying three times a week between the two cities on 27 March next year. In 2012, Lufthansa Regional switched its Düsseldorf service from Edinburgh Airport to Glasgow. Lufthansa continues to fly from Glasgow to Düsseldorf under its Eurowings subsidiary. Welcoming the announcement, Edinburgh Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said: "I am delighted that Edinburgh Airport has a direct new flight into the heart of Düsseldorf. "This offers even greater choice and is further confirmation of Edinburgh Airport's position as a leader for business connectivity between Scotland and the continent." Eurowings already serves Cologne from Edinburgh. Lufthansa also flies to Frankfurt from the Scottish capital. A masked man was reported to have entered the premises on Elmwood Street armed with a knife at around 17:10 GMT on Thursday. A member of staff was threatened during the incident, but was not harmed. It is believed the man made off with a sum of money. He is described as being 5ft 3in tall, of slim build and was wearing a dark green balaclava. He was also wearing a dark-coloured top and dark blue tracksuit bottoms with drops of white paint on them. The police have appealed for information. "The thing that's so sad is to imagine that mother singing that story to her at a time when you were losing culture and the last thing that baby was, was safe," Mr Turnbull told indigenous journalist Stan Grant. A teary-eyed prime minister makes for easy news copy, and the video quickly spread across websites and social media. But the story of this lullaby is not as simple as it first seems, and in fact it's one of many clues helping to revitalise a language. Tyronne Bell and Glen Freeman are from the Ngunawal people, the traditional owners of the land on which Canberra's Parliament House stands. The cousins, who once helped Mr Turnbull prepare a speech in Ngunawal, were the source of the story, the prime minister's office confirmed. Mr Bell said Mr Turnbull was referring to an enigmatic figure named Black Maria, a Ngunawal woman who lived in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales in the 1800s. In 1930, the Moss Vale Post newspaper interviewed a very old woman who remembered listening to Black Maria's singing as a child. "Black Maria, as she was called by the whites, possessed a very attractive voice and seated on the ground she often entertained the white children with lullabies, beating time with two sticks," the article said. Four lines, purportedly from Maria's favourite song, were transcribed phonetically into the article. Mr Bell said these lines did not make sense in Ngunawal, as the people who transcribed them did not understand the language. The story is further complicated by the identity of the woman who recalled Black Maria's lullaby. Mr Turnbull, it appears, made the assumption she was Black Maria's daughter, but this is not mentioned in the newspaper article. It's entirely possible that she was one of the white children who listened to Maria's songs. What we do know is that Maria's alluring voice still resonates almost two centuries later. Although the meaning of the original lullaby cannot be discerned, those four lines of inaccurately transcribed text helped inspire Mr Bell's late father to publish a book in the Ngunawal language, based on the legend of Mununja the Butterfly. It is a love story about a young girl who escaped marriage to the evil Gunga and stayed close to her family and country forever under the protection of a beautiful butterfly, Mununja. Mr Bell's father envisioned that the book, which included the Black Maria story as source material, could be used in schools to lift awareness of the language. In the 1800s, Aboriginal people displaced by increasing British colonisation were moved to missions. They were often forbidden from speaking their mother tongue or following cultural traditions, meaning many cultures were lost forever. But now, even elders are learning their language "from scratch". Mr Bell, Mr Freeman and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (ATSIS) launched a pilot project to teach Ngunawal two years ago. Mr Bell and Mr Freeman started their project after a list of 30 words in Ngunawal was found two years ago. Since news of the project travelled to others in the Ngunawal community, they have collected more than 300 words. There is increasing awareness of the importance of protecting indigenous languages. When he made his address to parliament in Ngunawal, Mr Turnbull announced A$20m ($14.8m; £10.5m) in funding for language preservation programmes. Dr Marcus Woolombi Waters, a sociology lecturer at Griffith University, is of the Kamilaroi people. He says embracing indigenous languages is not only vital for Aboriginal identity and belonging, but can help create much-needed understanding for non-Indigenous Australians. "That's not just healing Aboriginal people, that's letting Australians become inclusive in thousands of years of connections themselves," Dr Waters said.

But Patty Hajdu said research from the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) put it at more than 4,000. A national inquiry is due to begin shortly. Ms Hajdu and Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett have been speaking to survivors and relatives across Canada. The inquiry was a key election pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the campaign last year. The often cited 1,200 figure came from a 2014 Royal Canadian Mounted Police report on the missing women, related to the period between 1980 and 2012. "During those discussions, the ministers have heard from participants that they believe the number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls is higher than 1,200," Ms Bennett said. In December 2015, Canadian authorities charged a man in the death of one indigenous girl whose murder caused a national outcry. Raymond Cormier, 53, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tina Fontaine, 15, who was found dead in 2014 in Canada's Red River. A BBC investigation in April revealed that dozens of aboriginal women disappear each year, with many later found dead in the river. Mr Trudeau has promised an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in an appeal to First Nations chiefs. The public inquiry would be a "top priority" of his newly-elected Liberal government, he said. Mr Trudeau also pledged increased funding for programming and a review of laws on indigenous peoples. This is an immersive story told through text, images and video, best viewed on an up-to-date browser. BBC News App users click HERE. Justice Minister Jody-Wilson Raybould, Ms Hajdu and Ms Bennett conducted interviews with nearly 2,000 people to start forming the government inquiry, involving survivors, families and loved ones of survivors. The ministers wanted to "examine the causes of violence against Indigenous women and girls and leads to recommendations for concrete actions to prevent future violence", said Ms Bennett. "Regardless of the number, the level of indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or were murdered is an ongoing national tragedy that our government is committed to addressing immediately."

Arlene Foster said this would be a disaster for Northern Ireland, and stopping the party was the platform on which the DUP was seeking a mandate. Mrs Foster listed 10 reasons the issue mattered if people asked about it on the doorsteps. The former first minister was speaking at a low-key manifesto launch. The eight-page DUP document was described as "an addendum to reflect developments since last May" - when the last assembly election was held. It refers back to the party's five-point plan which, it said, remained as relevant now as nine months ago. The five points were: Mrs Foster's speech contained 31 mentions of Sinn Féin, 12 of its president Gerry Adams and just one of its new northern leader, Michelle O'Neill. The DUP leader made no reference to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) debacle which was the reason Sinn Féin gave for quitting the Northern Ireland executive last month and forcing an election. She explained at the start of the manifesto launch that she was suffering from "man flu" and afterwards, she took no questions from the media. In her speech, Mrs Foster said all the recent polling suggested it would be "neck-and-neck" between her party and Sinn Féin. She attacked Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt for saying he would be giving his second preference vote to the SDLP, calling the move "sad and shameful". "I know other parties don't like us saying it, but the reality is that every vote for another unionist party is a vote which is lost in the battle to make sure that Sinn Féin does not win this election," she said. Mrs Foster's 10 reasons for opposing such an outcome included claims that it would: She concluded: "It would give Gerry Adams and Sinn Féin a hugely significant worldwide propaganda boost just months after nationalism's worst election since 1993 and would undermine the unionist confidence which is being rebuilt after so many years in decline. "And finally, it would, of course, give Sinn Féin the right to nominate a first minister - our job is to make sure that does not happen." On the negotiations which will likely follow the election, Mrs Foster said her party did not want to construct any red lines or barriers to the restoration of the executive. She said the DUP would honour all previous commitments, on the basis that republicans do the same. The 29-year-old victim was found dead near Plumstead Station at about 14:00 BST on Wednesday. He had suffered serious head injuries and was pronounced dead by paramedics. The three suspects, aged 35, 45 and 46, remain in custody. Post-mortem tests showed the man died from blunt force trauma to his head and neck. Detectives believe they know the victim's name but are waiting for a formal identification to be made. His next of kin have been informed.

Tax powers are already included in the Wales Bill going through Parliament. Mr Crabb reinforced a St David's Day deadline for agreement on devolution priorities in a speech in Cardiff. He said that after 15 years of debating devolution Welsh politicians should start to focus more on public services and the economy. Speaking on Irish TV he says: "I think I'm done with X Factor. I've done 11 seasons. "That's a long time on television. I think they're going to change the show. I think they're going to get new faces." An X Factor spokesperson told Newsbeat Simon Cowell is the only judge confirmed for this years X Factor at this time. Louis has been a judge on X Factor since it started in 2004, having been replaced briefly in 2007 by Brian Friedman Dermot O'Leary has said he won't be returning to host the show when it returns this summer. Louis was speaking on Ireland's The Seven O'Clock Show. "I don't know who's back. I know Dermot's gone and I think Olly is working with them and I think Simon is definitely back because he owns the show." The 62-year-old manager has only won the X Factor once in 2005 with Shayne Ward. He says he hasn't been asked to return to the show but would he return if he was asked? "I would have to think about it," he says. "My day job is a manager and I've kind of neglected that. I want to get back to being a manager." But this isn't the first time we've heard this from Mr Walsh. Back in August 2013, he confirmed he was quitting in 2014. But then had second thoughts about that confirmation come October 2014.

Scotland has become home to 1,000 Syrian refugees since a summit was held last year aimed at helping to address the international crisis. It has not yet been decided which councils will host the pilots. Equalities Secretary Angela Constance said the project, which has been given £85,000 of funding, would build on the English language training all Syrian refugees have received. She said: "We have been inundated with offers of support from the public since we launched our Scotland Welcomes Refugees website last year and I am pleased that we can take advantage of these kind offers and get people volunteering locally. "Many of the refugees owned their own businesses or were teachers before war and terrorism forced them to flee Syria. "I hope this project will also allow them to share their skills and talents to help strengthen and diversify our communities." At last September's summit, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that Scotland should accept 1,000 refugees "as a starting point for a meaningful discussion". The UK government has agreed to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees through its vulnerable persons resettlement (VPR) scheme over the next five years.

The 4.9-magnitude quake hit the Cusco region in the early hours of Sunday. Worst affected was the remote Andean village of Misca, where 45 homes collapsed killing four children and four adults, emergency workers said. The authorities have declared a state of emergency and President Ollanta Humala has said his government will help rebuild the village. President Humala said the village, 90% of which was damaged, had been erected on a geological fault line and should be reconstructed elsewhere following a thorough study of the area. Many of the homes in the village were made of adobe, a mixture of mud and straw. Among the buildings that collapsed was an 18th-Century church. President Humala said emergency workers had managed to clear the road leading to the village and a plane had been able to land in the area to drop off tents and blankets. A nearby copper mine was not affected, a spokesperson for the company running it said. Earthquakes are common in Peru, with the Nazca and South American tectonic plates located near its coast. In 2007, more than 500 people were killed in Peru's coastal province of Ica when a 7.9-magnitude undersea earthquake struck. According to the United States Geological Survey, the epicentre of Sunday's quake was 19km (12 miles) southwest of the town of Urcos at a depth of 42km. Six people were taken to hospital after the two-car crash on the A3082 near Wimborne Minster on 12 March. The 84-year-old from Trowbridge had been a rear seat passenger in a Toyota Corolla which collided with a Ford Focus near the Badbury Rings junction. She died as a result of her injuries on Tuesday afternoon, police said. Her next of kin has been informed. The drivers - two men aged 85 and 75 - and the other three passengers, two women aged 64 and 72 and an 89-year-old man, had minor injuries, police said. Dorset Police has issued a fresh appeal to anyone with information about the collision. Julie James, deputy minister for skills in the last Welsh Government, said Welsh students will "always be better supported" than others in the UK. Under the current system, students receive an annual grant for their tuition fees worth up to £5,190. But she said there may be "nuanced changes" depending on the outcome of a review by Prof Ian Diamond. On Friday, Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones told BBC Wales that cutting the grant to below £5,000 was "not something we're looking at the moment". Speaking at a Labour campaign event in Aberdare on Monday, Ms James told BBC Wales: "We're committed to continuing our current policy until Professor Diamond reports in the autumn. "And then we're committed to an evidence-based policy after that, with the commitment that Welsh students will always be better supported than their counterparts elsewhere. "There might be nuanced changes. "We're not committing to £5,000 because that might go up or down depending on what Professor Diamond says." An interim report in December said most of the evidence said the current policy was "not an option", but there was no agreement on the best alternative, with the final report due in September. The Welsh Conservatives would also scrap tuition fee subsidies, but have said they would pay half of students' rent costs. Plaid Cymru has pledged to write off £6,000 in debt for students who stay in Wales to work after completing their studies. Responding to Ms James's comments, Plaid education spokesman Simon Thomas claimed there would be "a huge black hole in Labour's budget if they don't explain what they will do with their tuition fee policy". The Welsh Liberal Democrats' policy is to replace tuition fee subsidies with maintenance grants, while UKIP says it would like to cut tuition fees. The Greens have called for free university tuition across the UK. The Republicans captured 60 seats to take control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats clung on to the Senate despite losing seats. Republican leaders have already vowed to reverse Mr Obama's healthcare reforms and to cut spending. Mr Obama pledged to find common ground with the Republicans on key issues. No one party was now in control, he said, so it was important for Republicans and Democrats to work together to focus on jobs, security and the future, in line with the voters' message. Winners Losers Winners and losers Profile: John Boehner California rejects legal cannabis In pictures: US Election results "I'm not suggesting this will be easy," Mr Obama said. "I won't pretend that we'll be able to bridge every difference or solve every disagreement. "What is absolutely true is that without any Republican support on anything it's going to be hard to get things done." Mr Obama said he believed progress had been made but more remained to be done. "Over the last two years we've made progress, but clearly too many people haven't felt that progress yet and they told us that clearly yesterday. As president, I take responsibility for that," he said. Earlier the Republicans' John Boehner, set to become the next speaker of the House of Representatives, pledged to repeal Mr Obama's healthcare reform "monstrosity". "I believe the healthcare bill will kill jobs, ruin the best healthcare system in the world and bankrupt our country," Mr Boehner said. Mr Obama said he would listen to suggestions on the reforms. "If the Republicans have ideas for how to improve our healthcare system, if they want to suggest modifications that would deliver faster and more effective reform to a healthcare system that has been wildy expensive, I'm happy to consider some of those ideas," he said. The election result is a stinging setback for the president, who was elected only two years ago with so much hope and so much exuberance, says the BBC's North America editor Mark Mardell. Up for election were all 435 seats in the House (the lower chamber of Congress), 37 of the 100 seats in the Senate, governorships of 37 of the 50 states and all but four state legislatures. With some counts still to be completed, projections suggested the Republicans had obtained a net gain of 60 seats in the House, more than the 54 they won in the landmark 1994 mid-terms, and the biggest exchange of seats since the Democrats won 75 in 1948. Of the Republican gains, dozens of the House seats and several Senate ones were made by candidates backed by the conservative Tea Party movement. While there will be much talk of compromise and reaching deals, many Tea Party supporters' explicit aim is to block and undo Mr Obama's agenda, our editor says. By Mark MardellBBC North America editor Mark Mardell: Should Obama show self-doubt? The movement, backed by former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, managed to replace establishment Republican candidates with its candidates in some areas. There was success for Rand Paul in Kentucky and Marco Rubio in Florida, but rising Christine O'Donnell lost her bid in Delaware. And in Nevada, in one of the most dramatic contests of the night, the Democrats' leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, fought off Tea Party challenger Sharron Angle. Mr Reid's victory sparked a delighted reaction from Senator John Kerry. "Harry Reid isn't just Dracula, he isn't just Lazarus, he's our leader and our whole caucus is thrilled that he's unbreakable and unbeatable," he said. Senate results from Washington State and Alaska have still to be called, but in another late result Democrat Michael Bennet narrowly defeated Tea Party Republican Ken Buck to win in Colorado. Republicans earlier took Senate seats from Democrats in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arkansas, North Dakota and Indiana. In Arkansas, Republican John Boozman defeated incumbent Blanche Lincoln in a historic reverse for the Democrats. Compounding the misery for Mr Obama's camp, a Republican captured the president's old Senate seat in Illinois. Mr Obama said the election outcome had demonstrated where power in the US truly lay. "Some election nights are more fun than others. Some are exhilarating, some are humbling, but every election, no matter who wins or who loses, is a reminder that power rests not in those who are elected to office but in those we choose to serve," Mr Obama said. Magpies fans will have enjoyed victory over former boss Steve McClaren and his Derby side at St James' Park - but that win does not make it into our round-up of the English Football League. Instead, the end of a poor managerial start, handshakes for travelling supporters and a record league attendance are among five stories from the Championship, League One and League Two which may have passed you by. A long wait ended for Gianfranco Zola on Saturday, as he registered his first win since becoming Birmingham boss in what was his 11th game in charge. The timing of the club's decision to sack Gary Rowett and replace him with the former Chelsea forward on 14 December came as a surprise, as City had beaten Ipswich the day before and were outside of the Championship play-off zone on goal difference. Blues director Panos Pavlakis said Zola's pedigree fitted with Birmingham's ambition to "move in a new direction". However, the former Italy international found life tough at St Andrew's, slipping away from the top six after taking just three points from a possible 24 in the league and exiting the FA Cup following a third-round replay at Newcastle. But a relieved Zola finally picked up that elusive win when Lukas Jutkiewicz's goal was enough to see off 10-man Fulham. "The players played with everything, a lot of awareness tactically and technically, but a lot of passion above all," Zola told BBC WM 95.6. "I'm so proud and delighted with them, I'm very pleased." Milton Keynes Dons came up with a novel way to celebrate the Buckinghamshire town's 50th anniversary when they welcomed Bolton to Stadium MK. The League One side decided to give local residents the 'Gift of Football', offering free entry to people with an Milton Keynes postcode and allowing season-ticket holders a ticket for a friend. The Dons also wore a commemorative gold kit and were rewarded with their highest league attendance since they opened their ground 10 years ago, as 21,545 watched a 1-1 draw with Wanderers. MK's record attendance remains the 28,127 that saw them lose to Chelsea in the FA Cup in January 2016. Both those figures are well shy of the stadium record, set in October 2015 when 30,048 flocked to see Fiji beat Uruguay in the Rugby World Cup. But perhaps Robbie Neilson's side, who stretched their unbeaten run to five games, have captured the imagination of some of those who took advantage of the club's special offer. Oldham defender Anthony Gerrard suffered one of the more bizarre sending-offs of the season during their 1-0 win at Chesterfield. The former Everton trainee picked up a booking in the first half and got his marching orders from referee Ross Joyce during the half-time break for an incident in the tunnel. Playing with 10 men after the break, the Latics stole the points when skipper Peter Clarke nodded in at the far post in the first minute of injury time. "I'm very proud of them, the way they went about the game," Oldham boss John Sheridan told BBC Radio Manchester. "I'm chuffed to bits." With three wins in five matches since Sheridan returned for a third permanent spell in charge on 12 January, Oldham are now one point from safety in League One. No wonder some fans at Boundary Park are talking about a 'Shezzarection'. Yeovil Town fans have to endure some tiring journeys, but this weekend's 670-mile round-trip to Hartlepool is one of the longer expeditions Glovers fans will face this season. Supporters of the Somerset club at least saw their side pick up a point thanks to Matty Dolan's second-half penalty. And the 97 hardy souls who made the trip to County Durham were rewarded by players and staff after the final whistle, with handshakes for each and every one of them. "It's an incredible trip from one end of the country to the other," Dolan told BBC Somerset. "The fans will have been up at 6am this morning just to make it here so fair play to them. It's nice that we can reward them with the performance we did." Exeter winger David Wheeler made his own piece of history during their 4-0 win over Crewe Alexandra. His second-half header meant the 26-year-old became the first Grecians player to score in seven consecutive league matches, surpassing the six-game streaks of Henry Poulter (1933-34) and Roderick Williams (1936-37). Wheeler added a second for his eighth goal since starting his run against Newport on 31 December to help Paul Tisdale's side to a seventh straight win, matching the club's best run set across two seasons in 1977. Now 12 games unbeaten in League Two, the Grecians are one result shy of their all-time unbeaten league run of 13 matches set in 1986-87. Big Devon rivals and fellow promotion contenders Plymouth stand in the way of more history for Wheeler and Exeter next weekend. Rail, Maritime and Transport union members will vote in the coming weeks amid claims that industrial relations have "comprehensively broken down". The union is also seeking a four-hour cut in the working week to 35 hours. A Southern spokesman said the rail operator was aware of the issues and "dialogue with the union is ongoing". He added that it had received no formal notification from the RMT union that it intended to ballot its members. RMT general secretary Mick Cash said the union would not stand by while "agreed policies, procedures and agreements are unilaterally ripped up by Southern". "Southern is a company intensively under the spotlight over its performance at the moment and RMT will not have our members scapegoated for failures at the top by outrageous and intimidatory demands to meet impossible work targets and through attacks on working conditions. "The union is in no doubt that the pressure on these staff to deliver impossible targets compromises safety in what is clearly a safety-critical environment," he said. Southern runs services between London, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Kent. Would you include Wayne Rooney and Joe Hart - or would you bring in Mark Noble and Fraser Forster?

The exact cause of death is not clear but he suffered from liver problems, his wife Tekla Hove told the BBC. Mr Hove was known as a critic of President Robert Mugabe and went into self-imposed exile in 2001 after harassment from the authorities. He won several awards for his work and was regarded as a leading figure in post-colonial literature in Zimbabwe. Mr Hove's wife and sister were with him when he died - the first time they had been together since 2001. He had been taken ill three weeks ago and slowly deteriorated but he remained "bright and clear until the end", said friend and colleague Helge Lunde, the executive director of International Cities of Refuge Network. Chenjerai Hove was one of the most incredible writing talents I have ever met, very much in the tradition of Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o He had a brilliant command of the English language, only bettered by his brilliant mastery of his own language, Shona. His tiny novel Bones is full of incredible allegories and imagery that could only come from the Shona oral tradition. After Zimbabwean independence in 1980 - when it was possible to bump into writers like Charles Mungoshi, Dambudzo Marechera and Chenjerai Hove all in the same space - he was one of the leading figures of African literature who mentored new talent. I will miss him enormously. It is such a shame his exile makes us question the direction that Zimbabwe has taken in relation to its great artists. Mr Hove was a "great writer, novelist, poet and playwright", Mr Lunde said, "but first and foremost he was a freedom fighter, fighting for human rights in his country". Speaking to the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme last year, Mr Hove said it was his responsibility as "a citizen, as an African, as a Zimbabwean... to look at our lives and at whether our leaders are enhancing our dignity or taking it away". He wrote four novels including Masimba Avanhu (Is This the People's Power?), which looked at the situation of women in Zimbabwe, and it was that, along with his political criticism, which got him noticed by the authorities, the International Writers Project at Brown University said. From exile he wrote many poems, which often dwelt on the theme of separation - and contributed a play and proverbs to the BBC. Among the awards Mr Hove won were the Zimbabwe Writing Award in 1987, the Noma Award for Publishing in Africa in 1989 and a German-Afrika Award for freedom of expression in 2001. There are no funeral plans yet, but the family is hoping to fly Mr Hove's body back to Zimbabwe, his wife told the BBC.

His career began at Gloucester before a 2015 switch to the Ospreys, where he has played 24 times either side of suffering a shoulder injury in August. He was not available to England head coach Eddie Jones in 2016, by nature of being based outside of England. However, his move to Bath means he will become available for England this summer and he is heavily tipped to make the tour to Argentina in June. Underhill moved to Wales to study economics at Cardiff University and could have qualified for Wales in the future under the three-year residency rule, had he stayed long enough. Former Wales captain Emyr Lewis, speaking to BBC Radio Wales "It is a blow, not just for Ospreys but for Wales because I am sure if he had stayed another year then he would have been eligible to play for Wales as well. "He is a good player. He is one of those that is going to develop into an international player but he has decided he is going to go across the border." The two ageing Doel 3 and Tihange 2 reactors were taken offline in 2012 when defects were found in the walls of the reactors' pressure vessels. They were restarted late last year amid concern in the Netherlands and Germany. Belgium's authorities have rejected the German request, saying there is no need "from a nuclear safety point of view". Ms Hendricks called for the reactors to be taken offline in response to a report by Germany's independent Reactor Safety Commission. She said that "on the one hand [the report] says there are no concrete indications that the reactor pressure vessels will not resist the strain; but on the other hand they say you cannot, according to today's knowledge, be sure that they'll resist every possible strain. And that's why we need further investigation." Germany aims to turn off all its nuclear reactors by 2022 and there are particular worries in the south-west of the country about the safety of Belgium's Tihange plant, some 60km (38 miles) from the German border. Two states, North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland Palatinate, have said they will take legal action against Belgian plans to extend the life of the two reactors until 2025. Dutch politicians have also expressed concerns about the safety of the Doel plant, which was opened close to the border in the mid-1970s and has four ageing reactors. Its oldest reactor was briefly taken offline last week. But Belgium's Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) reacted to Ms Hendricks's request with surprise. The agency said a fortnight ago it had met German experts who had not raised any new issues. It said it was still convinced there was "no need to shut down these units" and its conclusions had not changed. Belgium's ageing reactors worry its neighbours Tony Hall told a Commons select committee: "We don't have proposals to take CBeebies and CBBC, as channels, out of the environment. "We're talking about how we can make sure that the 20%, and growing, number of young people can use the good things the BBC can offer." There had been speculation in the press that the channels may be cut. In a speech last week, Lord Hall announced the creation of a children's iPlayer, called iPlay, but also said that funding cuts would mean the loss or reduction of some services. Reports had appeared afterwards in newspapers suggesting that children's services may be moved online. A story appeared in the Independent saying "panicked parents have launched a petition to save CBeebies in response to news the BBC is considering axing its toddler and pre-school channel". The petition has currently been signed by just under 130,000 people. Lord Hall had previously described the recent agreement by the BBC to cover the £600m cost of providing free television licences for over-75s as a "tough deal". He said it would require "some very difficult choices" to be made. Speaking on Tuesday to MPs at a select committee hearing about the BBC's annual report, Lord Hall also said that after buying in talent show The Voice - a format created abroad - he would like the BBC to be responsible for its next big hit. "My ambition is that the next time we have a big entertainment format on the BBC, it will be made in-house," he told MPs. "I hope we find a hit from our in-house stable. That's my aspiration." He also said he did not consider resigning after the government transferred the cost of free TV licences for the over-75s to the BBC. "To resign and walk away might make me feel very good, but my job is to get the best deal for the BBC," he told MPs. Former director general Mark Thompson did threaten to quit when the government made the same proposal in 2010 - a move Lord Hall said he felt was damaging to the BBC. Thompson's licence fee settlement "was worse than this deal," he argued. "We had to absorb half a billion pounds of costs [in 2010]. So it was... considerably worse." The new agreement with the government means the BBC will be "cash flat", Lord Hall said. Lord Hall was also questioned over stars' support of the BBC, after a letter was written to the Prime Minister in July, calling for the BBC to be protected from cuts. Dame Judi Dench and Daniel Craig were among the stars who signed the letter - but there have been accusations that the campaign was orchestrated by Danny Cohen, the BBC's director of television. Lord Hall admitted Mr Cohen "was involved" in asking people to sign the letter. But, he added: "For months, all of us in the BBC have been offered support from a wide variety of artists, who said, 'we want our voice to be heard about the BBC', and that's what you saw. "These are people who wanted to declare their support for the BBC. It's not Danny Cohen speaking about the BBC," he said. The rules will limit the way charities can contact people for donations and that could affect how much money they can raise. The EU's new data protection regulations that come into force in May 2018 say charities, along with other organisations, must have the "express consent" of members of the public before contacting them. This could mean that charities will have to ask everyone on their databases who has donated in the past whether they want to receive future requests for funds. It could also mean an end to widely used methods like cold calling and mass mailings. "There are charities who are worried about how restrictive the rules might be," says Daniel Fluskey, head of policy and research at the Institute of Fundraising, a body which advises charities on how to raise revenue. "We have charities saying: 'If this gets too restrictive we will lose contact with people. We won't be able to ask for money and our services will lose money.'" The first charity in Britain to take action to comply with the new rules is the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, or RNLI. Based in Poole in Dorset, it runs lifeboats and volunteer crews around Britain's coastline and has an annual income of about £190m. This year it contacted 900,000 people on its database asking if they still want the RNLI to send them requests for donations. About 400,000 said yes, so from 1 January it will approach only these people to raise funds. "Historically, the way charities have raised income is to go to the general public, to write to them to ask for income," says Tim Willett, the RNLI's head of fundraising. "In the future, we will only be able to do that with people who have actively opted in to the RNLI's communications strategy. That reduces the number of people quite dramatically who we have the ability to speak to. "We think that's opened up a gap in our income streams over the next five years of £36.5m." For the RNLI, this means a loss of income of 5% a year. Smaller charities with a smaller number of past donors could be hit much harder. But the rules could also mean the donor and not the charity must make the first approach. "The rules are slightly grey in that area," says Daniel Fluskey. "The main thing is that whenever you are giving charities data, you have to be informed how it will be used. "If you haven't been given a choice on how your information will be used - and given them your options - then you shouldn't be called." The Information Commissioner is due to issue guidance in the new year on how the new rules should be interpreted. The EU's regulations come in the wake of a series of media reports that some UK charity fundraisers had been buying up people's personal data, gleaned from the internet by specialist data-mining companies, and that they had focused particularly on elderly people who seemed to have large amounts of savings. Some people have been pestered with requests from dozens or even hundreds of charities. Parliament passed a new law in 2016 making charities more responsible for the methods used by their fundraising agents, and several are looking for new ways of raising money. The RNLI has been trialling a contactless charity box, so that people who may not have any cash on them can tap their debit cards on it to make a donation. Blue Cross, a charity for abandoned animals, has been raising contactless payments using a pet Labrador called Smudge, who has a contactless card reader in a coat on his body. Meanwhile, Amnesty International has developed virtual reality versions of its films showing its relief work in war-torn Syria. "We began noticing in 2014 a drop-off in interest in Syria," says Kristyan Benedict, Amnesty International's crisis and tactical campaigns manager. "We wanted to find a new way of communicating the horrors on the ground. With the virtual reality experience you are getting an immersive feel of what it is like, and it has a more emotional impact. "For people under 25 virtual reality is not strange, it's normal. They see it as the logical next step in communicating." "I think charities know the direction things are going in," says the Institute of Fundraising's Daniel Fluskey. "There has been a culture shift in fundraising. People are not just doing things because they've worked in the past, but making sure they are ethical and working to the values of their organisation." The new EU regulations - combined with a shift to using new technologies - could mean that in the future we could be getting fewer cold calls and letters from charities dropping on the doormat. The private members' bill proposed that everyone would be on the organ donation register unless they opted out. The bill was brought by Ulster Unionist Jo-Anne Dobson. The clinicians congratulated Ms Dobson for raising awareness of the issue. However, the three doctors - Dr Aisling Courtney, Dr Tim Brown and Dr Paul Glover - said that educating the public to sign up to the organs register was the best way forward. "Our only concern is that the opt out system, if it's not understood well by the public, is that it will actually deter people from donating," Dr Courtney said. "So we have a good system, we want to do whatever we can to make it better, and we're just not convinced just yet that the public in Northern Ireland have the inside understanding of the opt out. "We're concerned it might make things worse and what we all want, and what Jo-Anne wants, is to make things better." Dr Glover also said that the current system in Northern Ireland was working well. "Northern Ireland actually has the highest organ donation rate in the UK and, in fact, has one of the highest donation rates internationally," he said. "So in fact we are doing very well as far as donor numbers are concerned." Dyfed-Powys Police was called to the A476 near Ffairfach, Llandeilo at about 21:00 BST on Saturday. The driver of the red Vauxhall Corsa stopped and contacted the emergency services but the man, from the Penygroes area, died at scene. Police have appealed for witnesses. About 400 people took part in the event, held on Freshwater West beach near Castlemartin in Pembrokeshire, on Saturday afternoon. The record attempt was organised by Keep Wales Tidy in a bid to raise the profile of the Welsh coast ahead of the summer season. The 30-year-old is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday. Earlier this month, a 16-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident. Peter Stewart, 43, and his brother James, 45, told police they had travelled from Aberdeen to buy a car and were subsequently stabbed in the Wardieburn area of the city on 8 April. The past 12 months have seen a range of extreme weather not just in this country, which experienced its second-wettest summer on record, but around the globe, such as the droughts in Russia and the US Midwest that effectively devastated these regions' wheat yields. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) latest figures showed that global food prices had risen by 1.4% in September as a result of fears of food shortages following poor harvests. Projections of future changes to the planet's climate and its impact on the agriculture sector's ability to feed a rising global population has made the issue a priority for scientists. The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is one of the UK's leading funding bodies for crop research and it has listed food security as one of its strategic priorities. In 2010/11, it provided £100m - accounting for 36% of its funding - for research projects looking at improving food security. BBSRC chief executive Douglas Kell acknowledged that food security was a complex, wide-ranging challenge but said science had an important role to play. "For example, wheat yields were one tonne per hectare in the middle of the 19th Century but improved farming methods and agri-science research now sees us closer to nine tonnes per hectare in the UK today," he told BBC News. "Research programmes, like the 20:20 Wheat Programme (which aims to increase yields to 20 tonnes per hectare in 20 years), hope to improve this further and in a number of ways, such as improving the way wheat uses the Sun's energy, better tolerance to stress or resistance to pests and disease." Wheat has become a vital staple around the world since a chance hybridisation 10,000 years ago enabled humans to start harvesting and domesticating the cereal. It is the UK's largest crop, and worldwide more land is used to grow wheat than any other crop. It has overtaken rice to become the second most-produced cereal after maize. Prof Neil Hall, from the University of Liverpool's Centre for Genomic Research and part of the team behind the decoding of the wheat genome, said it took a long time for experiments in a laboratory to make it into the fields. Throughout history, plant pests and diseases, such as potato blight, have devastated lives Plant pests: The biggest threats "The challenge crop breeders are facing is that they have to deal with rapid climate change that is not only affecting sunlight, temperature and rain but also crop pests. "In wheat the breeding process, from identifying a desirable trait to generating a new variety that can be used in agriculture, can take more than 10 years," he told BBC News. The challenge of using crop varieties available to farmers to feed the world's growing population in a rapidly changing climate was "humanity's greatest challenge in the 21st Century", according to Colin Osborne, a reader in plant biology at the University of Sheffield's Department of Animal and Plant Sciences. "We need to increase crop yields using less land, irrigation and fertiliser," he explained. Plant scientists involved in the university's Project Sunshine are looking for "innovative new solutions to these problems", Dr Osborne added. "One ambitious project aims to boost crop growth by introducing a 'turbo-charger' that evolved many times in wild plants. "We are also discovering new ways to reduce crop losses to pests and diseases." He observed: "Our research looks at ways to prime natural plant defences, and to exploit partnerships with fungi to reduce crop dependence on fertiliser." Gnawing problem But attention must not just be focused on what is happening in the field. The NFU recently warned that the wet summer had waterlogged rodents' usual habitats, increasing the risk of rats and mice seeking refuge in grain stores and farm buildings. So not only do farmers have to contend with poor yields, they also face the problem of what they are able to collect from their fields being eaten before it passes the farm gates. On a global scale, the problem of rodents eating grain is considered to be a serious threat to global food security and it is estimated that reducing the amount of crop lost in this manner by just 5% could help feed one third of the world's undernourished people. In an attempt to find a way to deal with such infestations, a team of researchers from the University of Liverpool and Rothamsted Research is looking at ways to manipulate rodent behaviour. The £4.7m project is investigating the scent signal mechanisms that rodents use to navigate around their habitat, communicate with each other, and reproduce. It is hoped that the research will deliver more effective ways to control rodents, which can reproduce very quickly to plague proportions if a reliable source of food is available. One of the UK's leading crop research organisations is the John Innes Centre (JIC). A seed vault, built deep inside an Arctic mountain, protects the diversity of the world's food crops 'Doomsday' vault opens its doors The centre's director, Dale Sanders, said plant science offered new ways to "sustainably increase crop yields, while at the same time reducing inputs such as fertiliser and pesticides". "This will be achieved through a greater understanding of plants, how they grow, and how we can exploit the latest genomic technologies," he told BBC News. "One focus of research is to reduce yield losses from pests, diseases and other stresses such as drought and climate change." Prof Sanders said that wheat breeders had been working to increase productivity without a detailed knowledge of the genetics behind the changes they have made. "Breeding has increased yields, but recently those increases have slowed. The possibilities for improvement are reaching their limit. New sources of genetic diversity are needed to revitalise wheat breeding." He added that in research being led by the JIC, scientists would seek to identify "lost" diversity and valuable traits from wild wheat and other grasses, from primitive varieties adapted to different conditions worldwide and from commercial bread wheat. "This diversity will be incorporated into elite UK varieties ensuring breeders can quickly use it to make improvements in the field." Just as drought can decimate yields, so can flooding. Researchers have developed a "waterproof" rice variety that can withstand being submerged in water for prolonged periods, which would kill traditional varieties. Rice is the primary food for three billion people, and more than 25% the world's harvest is grown in areas that experience extreme weather conditions. 'Valuable tool' The BBSRC is part of the Global Food Security Programme, a partnership between UK research councils, government departments and agencies that aims to " meet the challenge of providing the world's growing population with a sustainable, secure supply of good quality food from less land and with lower inputs." Global food security champion Prof Tim Benton said that even tiny changes in crop prices could have a big impact when it came to buying food. "While some people can cope with an increased shopping bill, for others it can be devastating," he observed. "A sudden and unexpected price change can be difficult for poorer households to cope with, particularly in developing countries. "Scientific research provides a valuable tool for addressing these challenges." Not everyone supported the idea that increasing yields through scientific advance will deliver food security. Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University London and former member of the government's Food Council, said just focusing on the role science can play in increasing food production was "nonsense". "I belong to a school of analysis that says the problem is not just scientific or technical, the problem is societal, cultural and economic," he told BBC News. Food 'folly' Prof Lang called for a greater focus on the social dimension of food policy - behaviour, consumption, expectations - and not "repeat what has gone wrong from the 20th Century, which has been to say we will resolve the problem of feeding people adequately just by producing more food". He said policymakers in the 1930s and 1940s had assumed that people would just eat what was good for their health. "They said 'let's just unleash science and technology, and if we invest enough and get distribution right, prices will come down, markets will be full of food and people's health will improve'. "The appeal being made that science will resolve this problem is folly. It is bad policy. "A food policy that is dominated by the biosciences is heading into a new version of problems. "We must learn the lessons of the last time that the science and technology arguments dominated food policy - it led us into the mess we are now in." Ghana's Frimpong was sent off playing for FC Ufa against Spartak Moscow on 17 July for a gesture to the crowd after saying he heard monkey chants. The midfielder was banned for two games but Spartak escaped punishment after the RFU found no evidence of racism. Fifa has given the RFU until Tuesday, 28 July to respond to its request. Russia host the 2018 World Cup and have been criticised for their handling of the issue of racism against a backdrop of incidents. Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure has even gone so far as to suggest black players could boycott the Russia World Cup. In February, football anti-discrimination group Fare documented more than 200 incidents of racist and discriminatory behaviour linked to Russian football over two seasons. Fifa sustainability boss Federico Addiechi says the governing body will work with the RFU to tackle the problem ahead of the World Cup, with the qualifying draw for the tournament set to take place on Saturday in St Petersburg. He said: "It is up to us as the organizers of this event to make sure this event is welcoming everyone, not just for the players and participants but also for the fans. "If the Russian Football Union are in need of our support, and I think they are, then we can provide certain support." United Nations chief of anti-discrimination Yuri Boychenko says Russian authorities are slowly acknowledging racism is a problem in the country. He added: "First comes recognition, that authorities here should recognise that there is a problem and I believe that the recognition is coming." Russia's minister for sport Vitaly Mutko - a Fifa executive committee member - said the country's football authorities were working to address the problem. "We have introduced punitive sanctions for clubs and offenders and they are more harsh now," he said. "Another measure is a special inspector at the match whose responsibility will be to pay attention to that kind of incident so no incident is left unpunished." Officials say some people have carried out cremations on the terrace roofs of houses in the city. Many Indians regard the Ganges as holy and use its bank for cremations. Hindus believe that if a person is cremated in Varanasi, the deceased will achieve release from sufferings of the cycle of birth and death. Two of the 80 ghats - a series of steps going down to the water - lining the Ganges in Varanasi specialise in the business of human cremation. "As the ghats are not available for cremation, the roofs of havelis [old mansions] and other old houses along the ghats are being used for cremation, but with great difficulty," Uttar Pradesh government spokesman Shailendra Pandey told AFP news agency. Utpal Upadhyay, a long-time city resident, said this was the "worst floods in the holy city since 1978". "The Ganges has risen, the banks are inundated, and people are not able to cremate. People are praying in their homes and flooded streets," he told the BBC. Cremations have been also affected in the Hindu holy city of Allahabad, also in Uttar Pradesh, where pyres were being lit in the nearby alleys, an official said. Floods across large swathes of India have killed at least 40 people and displaced tens of thousands of people. More than 100,000 people have left their homes in recent days in Uttar Pradesh and the neighbouring state of Bihar as rain-swollen rivers have burst their banks, reports say. At least nine people have died in Uttar Pradesh and another 15 in Bihar as flood waters hit villages and cities, disaster management officials said. Several people have also been killed in the central state of Madhya Pradesh in the last 24 hours, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. Floods are common in India during the monsoon season between June and September. But excessive rains this year have caused the Ganges and its tributaries to rise above the danger level in about 20 districts in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Cook's team stood a chance of returning to number one in the Test rankings with victory but lost on the fourth day. "For a batter, our currency is runs - and as a top order, we haven't consistently been doing it," Cook said. "We played at a disappointing level as a side and we weren't good enough in all three areas of the game." England went into the final home Test of the summer needing to avoid defeat to hold trophies against all nine Test opponents for the first time. "We're still the same side who beat Australia and won away in South Africa, so it's not all doom and gloom, but we're a work in progress," Cook added. "We had the opportunity to beat Pakistan and it's frustrating." Three dropped catches by Cook's team on day two allowed Pakistan to add a further 120 as the tourists eventually compiled 542, veteran Younus Khan making 218. The skipper also put down a chance on day three, and he said of the fielding blemishes: "The catching is a concern: when we've won games we've caught our catches; when we've lost we've dropped our catches. "We've definitely dropped in standard this series. "You expect to win your home series, but Pakistan showed their class - we knew Younus was going to get us eventually as you don't average 50 in more than 100 Tests if you're not a class player." England passed 400 only twice in the series and were bowled out for under 300 on four occasions. Cook and star batsman Joe Root finished with 935 runs between them at an average of 66.78 but the other members of the top five - Alex Hales, James Vince and Gary Ballance - could only muster a combined 498 at an average of 22.63. Asked what had disappointed him about the series, England coach Trevor Bayliss said: "It is the same as for the last six to 12 months - we rely very heavily on Cook and Root to score runs. "Jonny Bairstow has done extremely well and Moeen Ali has made some runs but we need two or three other guys to stand up in the batting order." Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who scored a century at Lord's and half-centuries at Old Trafford and Edgbaston, was named man of the series for his team. "The win was special, keeping in mind it was Independence Day," Misbah told BBC Test Match Special. "It was something special to draw the series here after being 2-1 down, losing the second Test badly and losing the third. But the way the team fought back, I'm a really happy captain." Pakistan have two one-day internationals against Ireland followed by five ODIs and a Twenty20 against England, before another away tour - of New Zealand and Australia starting in November. "In Asia, this team's unbeatable as our spinners come into it more and our batters are better," Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur said. "It's the games away from home which will determine how far this team can go. We've got a tough itinerary now." The world's two most expensive players will line up together as Real Madrid bid for a second Champions League final win against city rivals Atletico. "He's really close to Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos," Ancelotti said. "Now he is more comfortable in his position, he knows his team-mates and they know him and he has more power." Bale, who is returning to the San Siro Stadium, the scene of one of his most famous performances when he scored a hat-trick for Tottenham against Inter Milan, has publicly stated there is no rift with Ronaldo. Ancelotti, who paid a world record fee for Bale, also explained that he had to convince the former Spurs man to remain as a winger during his time as manager at the Bernabeu, after his agent asked the club president to move the Welshman into a central role. The ex-Chelsea boss was quoted at the time as saying Bale's agent "needed to stay quiet". "It was not difficult because I do not want to speak with the agent, the agent went to speak with the president and after that I explained my position directly to the player," Ancelotti told BBC Wales Sport's Gareth Bale documentary. "The best way is that if the player is not comfortable he has to come to the manager but I understand the world of football. When I played I didn't have an agent and now there are agents. "In that situation I spoke directly with Gareth. I said I understand he would be more comfortable in a different position but I have to think about the team and for me the best position for him was on the right side." Ancelotti, who is succeeding Manchester City-bound Pep Guardiola at FC Bayern Munich, has no doubts Bale's tenure in Spain will be a long one despite rumours he could move back to the Premier League. "He's a fantastic player and talent. My experience with him at Real Madrid was really good," he told BBC Sport. "It's not easy for a player to come in from another country but the first year he did really well. He showed fantastic quality and his future at Real Madrid will be long." Chinese Catholic bishop Peter Shao Zhumin was seized by authorities in May, Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said. The cleric's family has been given no information on the reasons for his removal or his current whereabouts. Relations between the Vatican and China have been strained by disputes over who can appoint bishops in the country. Mr Burke said he was "profoundly saddened" by the situation involving the detention of a bishop from his diocese in Wenzhou, in China's southeastern Zhejiang province. He said the incident was detrimental to efforts to reach an understanding with the Chinese authorities on the status of the Church in the communist state. "The Holy See hopes that Bishop Peter Shao Zhumin may return as soon as possible to his diocese and that he be allowed to carry out his ministry in peace," Mr Burke said. Catholics who have been seeking news of the bishop fear that he may be being pressured by the authorities to pledge his allegiance to the Communist Party instead of the Vatican. The news comes amid recent reports that the Vatican and Beijing are drawing closer to reaching an historic agreement governing the selection of bishops for 10 million Chinese Roman Catholics. There are currently about 100 Catholic bishops in China, with some approved by Beijing, some approved by the Vatican and, informally, many now approved by both. An agreement between the Chinese government and Pope Francis on who has the authority to appoint bishops in the country would be a positive step towards re-establishing diplomatic relations between China and the Vatican. The appointment is crucial for Mr Macron, who needs to do well in next month's parliamentary elections to push through his planned economic reforms. Later he will travel to Germany to meet Chancellor Angela Merkel. The 39-year-old former investment banker and economy minister was inaugurated yesterday in a ceremony at the Élysée Palace. He promised to convince people that "the power of France is not declining - that we are on the brink of a great renaissance". Mr Macron has kept his choice of prime minister a closely guarded secret, but the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says the candidate most hotly tipped is Édouard Philippe, the mayor of Le Havre. Mr Philippe is not a member of the president's new party - La République En Marche - but of the centre-right Republicans. This is significant, our correspondent says, because it would mean Mr Macron is trying to draw into his camp more leading figures from the conservative opposition. Presides over the government, but they are not seen as superior to other ministers Carries out the political programme of the president Co-ordinates ministerial initiatives to make sure they do not go against the president's agenda Cannot impose will on other ministers, but can ask president to sack them Can exceptionally replace the president in chairing government meetings Presidents often sack prime ministers for political expediency The visit to Mrs Merkel is expected to be a cordial one, with President Macron having strong pro-EU views. He has said he wants to reform the eurozone, giving it a common budget and its own finance minister, but he will need German backing. For its part, Germany wants to see France carry out structural changes such as reducing public spending and reforming its rigid labour market. Mr Macron has promised such reforms as he tries to revive the economy and reduce unemployment, but to realise them his party will need a majority in parliament. République en Marche recently unveiled more than 400 candidates for June's elections. Many have never held elected office before. Mr Macron was sworn-in as president a week after his victory over the National Front's Marine le Pen, with 66% of the vote in the run-off poll. He had never contested an election before and only formed his centrist movement a year ago. Mr Macron is France's youngest leader since Napoleon and the first to be born after 1958, when a presidential system was set up. Police said the child received hospital treatment following the incident, at 13:15 BST on Saturday on the A470 between Caersws and Carno. The road was closed on Saturday afternoon, with diversions in place. Dyfed-Powys Police asked for anyone who witnessed the child falling from a black Rolls Royce limousine to contact them. Wiltshire Police said it received three calls from people between 06:24 and 06:38 GMT saying they did not know where the noise had come from. BBC Wiltshire received calls, texts and tweets from people in Rodbourne, Old Town and Pinehurst who heard the sound. The British Geological Survey (BGS) said it was not thought to be down to an earth tremor, while the MoD scotched suggestions of a sonic boom. The Wiltshire force said officers had not attended any explosion-related incidents. A BGS seismologist scrutinised signals from the nearest seismograph sites to Swindon and found no evidence of a seismic disturbance of any kind, a spokesman for the society said. "It may well be the case that people did experience something but, whatever it was, may have been so localised and too small to be recorded," he said. Asked whether the noise could have been a sonic boom - the noise when jets break through the sound barrier - a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: "There is nothing to suggest it was anything to do with us. "There are no reports of activity from a military perspective." A deep pit containing a 120mm (4in) mortar tube, and three fighters from the militant group - Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Fully armed and in combat fatigues, the men are all wearing head torches. They move quickly, in well-drilled movements, loading and unloading the tube from a stack of mortars at the back of their position. This is a show of readiness, a show of strength, for the next war with Israel. It is a war that both the militants and the Israeli military, on the other side of the border, believe could come again soon. The hidden mortar pit is right by the border with Israel, or so I am told. I cannot be entirely sure as the armed fighters blindfolded me, searched me for tracking devices and removed my mobile phones before the journey. Viewed as a terrorist group in the West, Islamic Jihad is committed to Israel's destruction. At the back of the firing position is a small curtain that leads into a tunnel cut through the earth. It turns a corner and enters a larger, even deeper tunnel, perhaps 20m down. Its reinforced concrete walls have an arched roof, tall enough for the men of Islamic Jihad to stand up, and run through it. This is their escape route, running for hundreds of metres, its exit - or exits - unknown. The well-constructed walls glisten as condensation reflects off the lights, powered by a car battery, that runs along the length of the tunnel. Deep underground, the air in the tunnel is cool. Standing inside, his face hidden, is a fighter, with the nom de guerre, Abu Hamza. "In the last war we noticed that every moving thing on the surface of the earth was bombed, whether it was ambulances, civilians or fighters walking on the street," he said. "So [the tunnels] are our hiding place, away from the eyes of the Zionist enemy… we used them to launch [mortars and anti-tank] missiles". The tunnel was used in the last war, and it will be used in the next, he said. As tensions - including attacks - continue between Hamas, who govern Gaza, and the Palestinian Authority, Islamic Jihad wants to make its presence felt. The 50-day conflict in Gaza left at least 2,189 Palestinians dead, including more than 1,486 civilians, according to the UN, and 11,000 injured. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers and six civilians were killed, with scores more wounded. Large parts of neighbourhoods in Gaza are in ruins, and the Strip is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis which has left many thousands of families homeless. Six months on, the rubble from the war lies mostly uncleared and there has been little rebuilding. In Israel, communities along the border are well drilled at responding to the rocket and mortar attacks. But they fear even more the tunnels that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad built under the border fence. Some 32 tunnels were discovered crossing the border and there are believed to be hundreds more inside Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to eradicate the border tunnels but it seems that the threat, though reduced, still remains. The war in Gaza took place in the skies - a battle between Israeli artillery and aircraft and militant mortars and rockets from Gaza. But it was also an underground war. Israel was caught unprepared as the militants used tunnel warfare to an extent never seen before. According to Col Dado, a commander of southern Gaza for the Israel Defense Forces, "the main goal of the tunnels is not to make peace - it is to go and attack civilians and to capture or kidnap soldiers. "We are worried about it and trying to invent solutions to this problem." He would not give details on how Israel is doing so. It is thought to be using enhanced scanning equipment to identify tunnel sites, which it then destroys. On Gaza's southern border, another battle is raging. Near daily explosions can be seen and heard as Egyptian forces extend a buffer zone with Gaza to a kilometre wide. Egypt's soldiers move around in armoured vehicles. Border controls have been tightened and they are using explosives to destroy homes and smuggling tunnels that have been a lifeline to Gaza. Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi blames Hamas and others for aiding attacks in the Sinai. Gaza is being cornered, more isolated than ever before. In Gaza City, demonstrators recently took to the streets to protest against Egyptian policies. Publicly at least, Islamic Jihad refuses to acknowledge Egypt's role as hostile. Abu Abdullah, another fighter, said, "we believe that Egypt's role in the conflict is as a… booster of the Palestinian cause". But when I ask another militant when he thinks the next war will come, he jokes: "With Israel or with Egypt?" And another war with Israel is inevitable, say the militants of Islamic Jihad. They say they lost 145 fighters during the last conflict. Many more civilians were killed. So what was achieved? "Our biggest achievement is that we stood our ground, and we challenged the occupier," said Abu Ibrahim, a commander of their Saraya al-Quds brigade. "Unlike the whole world, we are still able to say 'no' to them, 'no' to the occupation. We are still able to resist." Along the border with Israel, it remains relatively quiet. The six-month ceasefire is holding. But Col Dado, like the men of Islamic Jihad on the other side of the fence, is pessimistic. "We can see their side is [rebuilding] the tunnels and [preparing themselves] for the next fight," he said. "We are doing the same. I hope it will be a long time from today, but I'm not pretty sure about it. "So - sooner rather than later?" I ask. "Unfortunately," the colonel responds.

They say it is the unfortunate but unintended consequence of what have otherwise been very successful efforts to improve air quality. It turns out the filters put on vehicle exhausts to remove fine particulate material have also unbalanced the chemistry behind ozone formation. Chemical reactions that would normally remove ozone have been subdued. The insight comes from a study looking at London's air quality records. "Peak ozone levels have come down since the 1990s, but we haven't had the gains we expected on ozone," said Dr Erika von Schneidemesser from the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies, Potsdam, Germany. "The data we've got from monitoring sites in London, and also the modelling work we have done, has helped us understand why ozone has behaved the way it has - at least in London," she told BBC News. Dr von Schneidemesser was speaking here at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists. Ozone in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) is regarded as a serious pollutant that can cause respiratory problems, and even damage masonry and agricultural crops. The principal originating source is the emissions from road vehicles. These include the exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and carbon monoxide (CO). Ozone is the product of these gases' participation in a complex series of chemical reactions where sunlight and heat act as catalysts. Summer months are generally worse for O3. Dr von Schneidemesser and colleagues used the data from London's dense network of air quality monitoring sites to try to assess the performance of the ozone-producing reactions over the past 15 years. They found that although the ozone precursors have been falling, the ratio of two NOx gases in the atmosphere has changed. In constant conditions, there is a neat cycle in which nitrogen dioxide (NO2) helps to form ozone and nitric oxide helps to break it apart. This cycle appears to have been perturbed by control measures that were actually intended to remove the fine particles and black carbon (soot) in vehicle exhausts. The measures achieved the desired outcome but also altered the relative emissions of the different NOx gases. "There's this balance between the NO and nitrogen dioxide NO2, and the diesel filters that we've been retrofitting on to things like buses mean that we now have a larger amount of primary NO2 and so you get a reduction in NO that is much greater than the reduction in NO2. This means basically you are taking away some of the ozone suppression," said Dr von Schneidemesser, who is also affiliated to the University of Leicester, UK. Whereas NO in the atmosphere has been reducing by 5-20% per year, NO2 has been falling by just 1-5% per year. "As these levels continue to go down, we should then eventually see a reduction in ozone. It's just that the initial steps have had the opposite effect." Further work is required, but the researchers' suspicion is that London's experience is not unique. The big traffic-choked cities of Europe will all suffer from similar emissions inventories. The one rider here is that southern European cities will have more sunlight and heat to drive ozone producing reactions. But the London observations are unlikely to be the whole story. Scientists say it's also that European ozone levels are being influenced by what is happening in other regions of the world. "There is an import of ozone and precursors from outside, and this influences what we call background ozone; and that's going up as global pollutants, particularly in Asia, go up. And that's affecting European ozone levels," explained co-worker Prof Paul Monks at the University of Leicester. "So, for something like ozone, we've probably got to move to a more global treaty-like situation. We've got to look at control measures in other countries as well as our own. "Peak ozone has gone down since the 1990s, but it has bottomed out now; and it's remaining fairly flat despite emissions reductions."

Scientists think they have identified one key reason why ground-level ozone remains stubbornly high in Europe.

After a goalless first half in which Chelsea dominated possession, Palace took the lead when Bakary Sako drove in after Yannick Bolasie's low cross. Chelsea responded when substitute Radamel Falcao headed in his first goal for the club. Palace regained the lead immediately as Joel Ward nodded in a late winner. Relive Crystal Palace's win at Chelsea Reaction to this match and the rest of Saturday's action Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea, the reigning Premier League champions, are now eight points behind leaders Manchester City after four games. They have been far from convincing so far this season having collected just four points, with only one of those picked up on home soil. Mourinho called the 3-0 loss to Manchester City "a fake result" but it is hard to argue that Palace were not good value for this win. Alex McCarthy produced a fine double-save to deny Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas in the first half, while Kurt Zouma had a penalty claim waved away, but otherwise the hosts were restricted to few clear-cut chances. Instead, Palace could have won by a bigger margin, with Bolasie missing from close range when the visitors led 1-0. A major contributing factor to Chelsea's disappointing start to the season has been their defence, with the Blues having now conceded nine goals in just four games. Media playback is not supported on this device The hosts were forced into a change at centre-back because of John Terry's suspension and Gary Cahill was the player to step in and partner Kurt Zouma. Mourinho continues to be frustrated in his pursuit of Everton defender John Stones, but it was not the middle of the defence that gave him the most cause for concern on Saturday. Branislav Ivanovic has struggled for form so far this term and Palace targeted the right-back, with 50% of their attacks in the first half coming down that side of the pitch. Crucially, Ivanovic was caught out when Sako was allowed to provide the ball for Ward to score the decisive goal. Crystal Palace made the short trip across London looking to record only their second league victory at Stamford Bridge - and first since 1982. However, the Eagles arrived at Chelsea boasting one of the strongest away records in the Premier League in 2015, having lost just two of their nine games on the road since Alan Pardew was appointed on 3 January, winning the rest. Part of the reason for Palace's impressive away form has been the expansive, attacking football Pardew has encouraged his side to play and that was certainly on show at Chelsea. While the hosts may have dominated possession, Palace were dangerous on the counter, with Sako exploiting gaps left by Ivanovic in the first half on a number of occasions. Eden Hazard was a pivotal player for Chelsea last season, inspiring them to a first Premier League title in five years. Such was his influence throughout 2014-15 that the Belgian has found himself a marked man in the current campaign, with as many as three players closing him down whenever he is in possession. Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said recently that the arrival of Pedro would help alleviate the burden on Hazard and allow him to rediscover his creative spark, but once again he failed to shine. Pedro was Chelsea's main creative outlet and he created as many chances (five) as Hazard and Willian combined. While the Blues' defence arguably needs strengthening, their lack of bite in attack will also be a cause for concern for Mourinho. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho: "We didn't deserve to lose. But Palace gave us a very difficult game. The result should be a draw, which would still be bad for us. We did enough not to lose." Read more as Mourinho discusses his team's start to the season. Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "It was a really good performance today - one of the best performances I've seen from one of my teams in terms of composure. We can frighten teams with our pace and we did that from start to finish. Our defenders had to defend really well and they did." After the international break, Mourinho takes his Chelsea side to Everton on 12 September while Crystal Palace host Manchester City on the same day.

Jose Mourinho suffered only his second defeat in his 100th home league game in charge of Chelsea as Crystal Palace claimed a shock win at Stamford Bridge.

Sabado Gigante, broadcast by Spanish language network Univision, will have its final show programme in September. The three-hour show drew more than two million US viewers on Saturday nights, and was also broadcast to more than a dozen countries in Latin America. It was created by Mario Kreutzberger, 74, a Chilean who plays the grinning presenter on the show, Don Francisco. No reason was given for the move but more details will be revealed on Saturday, an unnamed spokesman for the network told Associated Press news agency. The network said Don Francisco will continue to work on special programmes and a charity television event that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for disabled children. The show blends comedy, talent contests, interviews and human-interest stories and has been family viewing for decades. Over the years, US presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama have appeared as guests and singers Enrique Iglesias and Shakira have performed. "We join Mario's fans in wishing him all the best as he enters his next chapter", said Alberto Ciurana, president of programming and content for Univision. He called Kreutzberger "one of the most beloved and legendary entertainers in the world" and an "innovative and inspirational force in the television industry throughout his career".

A television variety show much loved among Hispanics in the US is to end after 53 years.

Media playback is not supported on this device Cook's men made 629-6 declared in their first innings, but then dropped eight chances in Cape Town and had to bat out the final day to make the game safe. "If we'd taken those chances in the field I think we'd be talking about a different game," said Cook. "Some were very difficult, maybe 10%. Others, we'd expect to take." The draw means Cook's team retained a 1-0 series lead with two matches remaining. He said: "You can't put down seven or eight chances, so we'll work hard in training after a couple of days off. "These things happen. No-one plays a perfect game and no-one expects to drop a catch." The dropped chances contributed to an uncomfortable final day for England. With South Africa able to declare on 627-7 late on day four, the tourists were required survive the final day in order to avoid an unlikely defeat. They slipped to 116-6 midway through the afternoon session, but were taken to safety by Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali. "It's amazing," said Cook. "That's why everyone loves Test cricket. "Full credit to South Africa for the way they batted under pressure, but we can also take a lot from this game. "We were the team pushing for most of the game, putting South Africa under pressure." England were propelled to their huge first-innings total by Ben Stokes' 198-ball 258, the second-fastest double century in Test history. "It was a pleasure to watch, one of those you don't ever want to end," said Cook. "It was frighteningly good. Not many in the world have the ability to do that, so it's great that he's in our side. "I don't think it's a one-off. I'm not saying it will happen every time he goes out to bat, but he will play innings that win matches for England."

Captain Alastair Cook said England would "work hard" on practising their catching after drawing the second Test match against South Africa.

But it also faces another fate: becoming the most high-profile member of Japan's corporate living dead, also known as zombie firms. Toshiba admitted this week that its survival is at risk and that the firm could be delisted from the Tokyo stock exchange, following a major accounting scandal and an ill-timed bet on nuclear power. The 142-year-old company is poised to record Japan's biggest industrial loss after its investment in US nuclear unit Westinghouse turned toxic. So what's next? Well, a lot hinges on Toshiba's ability to raise much-needed cash through the sale of its valuable memory chip unit. Here are three possible scenarios. 1. Walking dead - bailout Toshiba is already the "walking dead" financially, says Gerhard Fasol, chief executive of Eurotechnology Japan: "Action should have been taken 20 years ago". Zombie companies are loosely defined as loss-making or insolvent entities that should be allowed to fail, but continue to operate because of lenient creditors. Thousands exist in Japan and the issue is considered to be a reason why Japan's economy risks suffering from a third "lost decade". All Toshiba needs now is a bailout from the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ) or the Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corporation, two government-backed bodies that rescue ailing companies, for this to happen. However, many investors are not fans of this option. They argue that zombie firms need to be killed off, so that "creative destruction" can take place. Amir Anvarzadeh of BGC Partners said if the government gets involved, "then we suspect we will find Toshiba back on the brink again sometime in the the future." Want more proof of zombies? Not a single publicly-listed Japanese firm went bust last year. In fact, overall bankruptcies have fallen for eight years in a row. Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, touts those statistics as a sign of economic success, but being saved from going extinct is not necessarily a good thing. Innovation and new firm creation remains incredibly low in Japan compared with other developed countries, according to OECD research. 2. Body parts - fire sale Breaking up is hard to do. But Toshiba President Satoshi Tsunakawa has no other choice but to sell off some prized parts if he wants to keep the company afloat and alive. Toshiba is in the process of auctioning off its semiconductor unit, which makes memory chips for smartphones, computers and other electronic devices. It is the world's second-largest chip manufacturer behind Samsung, which is no mean feat, given how competitive the industry is. Over the last two years, there has been an aggressive wave of consolidation. So when Toshiba's unit was put up for grabs, an array of interested bidders quickly assembled. The chip unit is estimated to be worth between $9bn (£7.2bn) and $13bn. Taiwan's Foxconn, which assembles Apple's iPhones, has reportedly offered as much as $27bn. Foxconn also bought Japan's Sharp last year. But things could easily change. The chip sale is now said to be facing opposition from various stakeholders, including US firm Western Digital, which has a joint venture deal with Toshiba. The Japanese government is also believed to be reluctant to allow the sale of another company with proprietary technologies to a Chinese or South Korean rival. BGC Partners' Mr Anvarzadeh dismisses the latter. "Arguments that technology transfer ultimately trickle down to China sound dubious," he says, adding that Taiwan and Korea have more advanced chip technologies anyway. If the chip sale falls through, more accounting irregularities emerge or the banks decide to call in their loans, then all bets are off. Toshiba could be allowed to fail. But that would have serious ramifications and will see thousands of shareholders lose their savings. Then there is the issue of national pride. Toshiba launched the world's first mass-market laptop in 1985 and became known for its consumer electronics products such as televisions, although it is worth stating those units are no longer at the heart of its business and some are loss-making. In addition, the decline of Japan Inc, once renowned the world over for its game-changing companies, has been going on for a long time now. Analysts pretty much all agree that Toshiba is in a difficult, complicated situation. But they differ on the probable course of action. Eurotechnology's Mr Fasol is predicting a "politically brokered solution", in which a US firm and a Japanese government investment fund acquire the chip company. But Mr Anvarzadeh believes Toshiba should be allowed to sell the unit to Foxconn, because it is willing to pay the highest price. "Pride is very expensive. I don't think the government can afford to be proud with Toshiba on the brink," he said. "We think the best case scenario is for the Japanese government to stay out of this bidding process and, for once, allow market forces to run their course." Follow Leisha on Twitter @BBCLeishaChi. The feature - called the Sense Companion - can be used to maximise battery life and suggest what to wear. The larger of the two devices - the U Ultra - is also marked out by the fact it has two separate displays. The "mid range" devices are the latest to have been unveiled this year. Samsung, Nokia, LG, Asus and Huawei are among those to have had rival launches over the past fortnight. HTC, however, is under particular pressure for the new U Play and U Ultra to be hits. The firm has posted a financial loss in each of its last six quarterly earnings reports, and announced its lowest year's revenue in more than a decade for 2016. It has yet to announce how much the new devices will cost. HTC gave several examples of how the Sense Companion will work in the U Play and U Ultra: The software also makes use of the U Ultra's second display. It uses this to show notifications, suggested apps and commonly-used contacts. The idea is to bring matters to the user's attention without disturbing what they are doing on the main screen. HTC is not, however, the first to place a second smaller display above the first. LG's V-series of smartphones have a similar feature. The U Ultra also includes four "always on" omni-directional microphones on its sides to make it better at recognising voice commands issued from a distance. However, the challenge HTC faces in promoting the devices' AI capabilities is that they lack Google Assistant - the conversational virtual assistant that debuted in the search giant's Pixel handset - and instead run the more limited Google Now facility. One analyst suggested the devices' most attractive feature might instead prove to be their use of coloured moulded Gorilla Glass on their backs. "I think it's actually the quality of the devices' curved glass rear panels that will make them stand out," commented Ben Wood from CCS Insight. "The finish looks fantastic. But HTC's probably only able to achieve this because the phones will be made in much smaller volumes than those of other manufacturers, such as Samsung." Neither of the two models has a traditional headphone jack socket, and instead provide a USB-C connection. Five years ago, HTC was one of the top four best-selling smartphone brands. Since then, its sales have fallen to the point it now ranks 21st and its own-brand handsets account for less than 1% of the global market, according to research firm IDC. The Taiwanese firm also manufactures mobile phones sold by other companies - including the Google Pixel - as well as making the high-end Vive virtual reality headset. Some experts question how long it will stay committed to making its own phones. "The growth of the Chinese vendors has been very challenging for HTC," said IDC's Francisco Jeronimo. "But without having their own branded phones it would be more difficult for them to go to Google and other firms and say, 'This is what we can do.' "So, for the moment they will keep the business running. "But it's another question as to whether it will still be in operation by this time next year. That depends on it increasing sales and making a profit, because at the moment it isn't." Other smartphones to have been announced this month with unusual features include: The two men were carrying out routine maintenance when they were suffocated by a nitrogen leak in the room in which they worked. In a statement LG said that four other workers were affected by the leak but their injuries were not life-threatening. LG expressed regret over the incident and said it had begun an investigation. In its statement, LG said the nitrogen leak occurred at a factory known as "P8" that is in Paju city north of Seoul, that makes LCD screens for large TV sets. The factory is believed to have the world's largest production line, making display panels for LCD and OLED TVs. Nitrogen is used to wash the display panels during manufacturing. LG said the accident was a ""terrible tragedy" and added that it was "working to uncover the exact sequence of events" that led to the deaths. He takes charge of Saturday's meeting between Celtic and Aberdeen, but for a time last year was not sure if he would continue officiating. "The surgeon said I should focus on going back to work in a normal job," Madden said. "The cup final wasn't what I was thinking about, it was my well-being." The official was first diagnosed before last summer's European Championships in France, but delayed treatment so that he could be part of the team assisting fellow Scottish referee Willie Collum at the finals. Madden started this season, then went for surgery after taking charge of Celtic's 4-1 win over Aberdeen in August. He returned to refereeing two months later. "Only when I was first diagnosed," replied Madden after being asked if he thought his career may be over. "I realised very quickly after the surgery that everything had gone well and that I would go back to refereeing. Whether I thought I would come back as quickly as I did, maybe not so. That was due to the care I was given and the focus and support around me. "I took the decision in December 2015 to focus totally on my refereeing and I gave up my job because of the demands of domestic and international football. So really I wanted to get back to football to prove that I'd made the right decision and to be successful in refereeing. "When the consideration was being given to the Scottish Cup final, I'd had a good season so I was hopeful and when the call came in to say I was refereeing it, it was fantastic news and an honour." Madden believes this has been his best season as an official, and in March took charge of his first Old Firm derby. The game at Celtic Park finished 1-1, although the referee was criticised by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers for not awarding a penalty for a challenge by Rangers defender Clint Hill on Leigh Griffiths late in the game. The 38-year-old describes Rodgers and his Aberdeen counterpart Derek McInnes as "good guys" and says he is preparing thoroughly for the final. "We have independent assessors who watch us in every match and my marks would dictate that it's been my most successful season," Madden explained. "I'm going through the same training programme that I would for every match. I look at teams' tactics, how they set up at set pieces. "Around 28% of goals are scored from set pieces, so it's important that referees are aware of any potential tactics or scenarios that teams might run through. I'm putting a lot of attention on how both teams will set up and in matches against each other this season. "Players are under pressure, and we need to accept that as referees. Some players deal with that differently, but there are some who every week are the same and you can always talk to them. There are players on the field on Saturday from both teams who I know I can talk to if there's anything I want to address." Madden - who will have two additional assistants behind each goal at Hampden on Saturday - hopes that, for all he is looking forward to the responsibility of taking charge of the final, he is not the focus of post-match discussions. "The cup final is about the stories of the players and the managers, the tactics, the goals," he added. "Every official hopes that the evening after the cup final, the talking point isn't the referee." A doctor found the snake in her bottle during the event at the headquarters of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party. The security forces present at the event took away the bottle. The fate of the snake is not known. The mineral water company has called the incident a "conspiracy". "It's a conspiracy against me. When I was shown the bottle, its seal was broken," the company owner was quoted as saying in the Times of India. Wednesday's event was held in the state capital, Raipur, and was attended by Chief Minister Raman Singh and the federal Health Minister JP Nadda. After the reptilian discovery, all the water bottles distributed at the function were recalled. The baby snake survived the initial ordeal of being submerged in a bottle of water, BBC Hindi's Alok Putul in Raipur reports. However, it is not known if the snake is still alive. The government has now ordered all mineral water bottles across the state to be checked. Last month the Home Secretary criticised Kevin Hurley for "attacking" the leadership of Lynne Owens, the new head of the National Crime Agency. Mr Hurley has written to Mrs May three times demanding an apology for "totally untrue" and "damaging" comments. The Home Secretary said she disagreed with his interpretation of her remarks. The correspondence - obtained by BBC News under the Freedom of Information Act - demonstrates the independent PCC's anger over the issue and how strained his relationship with Mrs May has become. In his first letter to her, on 11 February, Mr Hurley said: "As a consequence of the very grave allegations made... and the extensive coverage in the media... it is essential that you now publish a full and unqualified apology to me." In the Home Secretary's reply, 12 days later, she wrote: "I am sorry that you have chosen to take issue with a small section of my speech," adding: "I strongly disagree with your characterisation of my comments." Mrs May said Mr Hurley's comments about the appointment of Ms Owens "helped to fan the flames of the media's reporting of this issue". Surrey's PCC sent a further letter to the Home Secretary calling again for an apology, but her reply stated she had "nothing further to add". Mr Hurley wrote a third time, last week, and again Mrs May responded by saying she had nothing more to add on the issue. Mowbray joined Rovers on an 18-month contract on 22 February, succeeding Owen Coyle at Ewood Park. He won five and drew seven of his 15 games in charge, but Blackburn were relegated from the Championship. Mowbray, 53, held discussions with club owners Venky's in India last month and has agreed a new deal, which contains the option of a further 12 months. He told the club website: "The job is to bounce back straight away. "I needed some reassurances that we wouldn't be selling all of our players and that we had some budget to try to strengthen the team if we could, having lost 12 players through either loans going back or people out of contract." Rovers released eight players, including captain Jason Lowe, following their relegation from the second tier on goal difference. However, former West Bromwich Albion, Celtic and Middlesbrough manager Mowbray has insisted the club do not need to sell players and he is focused on player recruitment. "There has to be some restructuring internally, because we're now in League One," he said. "But ultimately the aim is to build the departments up as I like them to work, to focus on the recruitment of players that can push the club to where we want to be." In a speech on Monday the business secretary said the CBI wanted Britain to stay in the EU "no matter what". Mr Javid said the lobby group, which represents some of the UK's biggest businesses, was undermining David Cameron's EU reform negotiations. He asked the group to make the case for reform to European businesses instead. He told MPs on Tuesday: "The point I made yesterday wasn't just about the CBI but really was a call to all business groups that in order to get the EU reforms that many of them seek... "The best way to do that is to help the government with its negotiations, speak to their partners in other countries in Europe and then make up their mind at the end of that process." The CBI's outgoing president Sir Mike Rake last month urged businesses to defend Britain's EU membership. He said it was time for business to "turn up the volume" on the benefits of EU membership ahead of Britain's in/out referendum, due to be held before the end of 2017. But in a speech to a CBI dinner on Monday evening, Mr Javid accused the group of having a "poor poker face". He said: "We're negotiating a better deal for Britain in Europe. I know this is something the CBI wants to see. "You have never been shy about highlighting the ways in which the EU hampers and undermines British business. So imagine my surprise last month [when]... I heard that the CBI thinks the UK should remain in the European Union no matter what. "That the people of Britain should vote to stay in regardless of whether or not the prime minister wins the concessions that British business so badly needs. "Of course you're entirely free to come to that conclusion. But does it really make sense to say, so early in the process, that the rules of this club need to change, but don't worry - we'll always be members no matter what. "You're some of Britain's most respected, most successful business leaders. You know how negotiation works. "You wouldn't sit down at the start of a merger or acquisition and, like a poker player showing his hand to the table, announce exactly what terms you were prepared to accept. It doesn't work in the boardroom and it won't work in Brussels." The minister's comments come as the CBI announced that Carolyn Fairbairn, a former head of strategy at the BBC and ITV, is to to replace John Cridland as its director general in November. She will be the first women to head the organisation, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The CBI published a report in 2013 saying it was in Britain's interest to remain in the trading bloc. A poll suggested eight out of 10 CBI members backed that position but the organisation has come under fire from some for not fully representing the views of Eurosceptic firms. The chairman of construction equipment firm JCB, Lord Bamford, recently said the UK should not fear an exit from the EU. A CBI spokesman said: "The CBI backs the prime minister's agenda for a more competitive EU and believes ambitious but achievable reforms can be secured, with some progress already made in recent months on a digital single market and business regulation. "We have engaged with senior business and political figures across Europe in recent years and it's clear we have allies in Europe to deliver more jobs and growth. "Most CBI members are clear that the EU gives us access to 500 million consumers and helps set the global trade agenda. But reform must be an ongoing process and we support the government's push for Brussels to focus on the big ticket issues, like signing more trade deals and doing less where it doesn't add value." The proposed Bill came top in a poll of voters - across the UK and within his constituency - from a shortlist of six. Mr Bryant said: "I will be urging every single MP to turn up to vote for this bill to protect the protectors - it's the least they deserve." He came top in a ballot of MPs seeking to introduce a private member's Bill. Mr Bryant said 33,900 votes were cast in his online poll, 483 of them from his constituency, with the bill to curb assaults on emergency staff attracting 10,764 first preferences. The next most popular choice was a bill to allow refugees' families to join them in Britain. Mr Bryant said he would present the Crime (Assaults on Emergency Staff) Bill - to make attacks on emergency workers such as police, fire and ambulance crews an aggravated offence - in the Commons next week. "It is already a specific offence to attack a police officer conducting their duties under Section 89(1) of the Police Act 1996, but that provision is far too weak and has proved ineffective in protecting officers," he said. "Prosecutions are rare, sentences are extremely lenient - and there is still no legal protection for paramedics, doctors or nurses. 'What my poll shows is that my constituents and the country think it is high time to change the law." In June, figures indicated attacks on south Wales firefighters had almost trebled in the past year. Hospital staff in Wales were physically attacked more than 18,000 times at work over five years, according to figures published last December. The move was criticised by some, while the government said stronger controls - which give local authorities more power to stop betting shops opening and mean gamblers betting more than £50 per spin have to interact with staff or have an account - were sufficient. We spoke to four people who have experience with FOBTs, including gambling addicts who have lost thousands of pounds on High Street betting machines. Niall, Cheshire I am a recovering compulsive gambler who has been in recovery since June 2014, thanks to Gamblers Anonymous (GA). Over the last few months, I have started to become more active in my GA group and have noticed a huge increase in the number of people with specific problems with FOBTs. This isn't just limited to males, we have a core of female members who have all become addicted to these machines. I never had a problem with gambling until I played these machines. In the end, it took over my life. £1.6bn profit made by bookmakers from the machines in a year* £100 maximum stake per bet £2 what campaigners believe the maximum stake should be £500 maximum win per bet 34,874 number of FOBTs in betting shops in the UK* I stole from family and friends in order to feed my addiction and lost jobs due to the amount of time I'd taken off of work in order to gamble. I would easily go into the bookies and spend up to eight to 10 hours in there every day. I was deemed a regular in the bookies I went into - but not one person ever suggested that I had a problem. They were happy enough to see me feeding money into the machines every day. I believe this was because I was never aggressive or kicked up a fuss in the shop. I would take my frustration out on my loved ones instead. I am now 15 months clean of gambling. I want people to hear my story now and if it can help one person, then I feel that I have done some good. Terry, Ballymena, Northern Ireland My fixed odds betting has made me contemplate suicide. I've been playing fruit machines for years. For example, I can spend £2,000 on fixed odds betting in an hour. I got paid today, but I'm not going out the door to spend it on FOBTs. My good friend works behind the betting shop counter. I basically pay his salary. I do it for the flashing lights, and the outside chance of maybe hitting it big. I was up £1,000 earlier this week but I wasn't satisfied and I didn't stop betting. I've lost between £80,000 and £90,000 in total, which is my whole income. I don't pay my bills anymore. It damages my relationships with other people. I give my money to my current partner, who buys things for me. I've tried to ban myself, but it won't work. I've been turned into a hardened gambler. John from Swansea I work in a high street bookmakers. I see the vast majority of people playing FOBTs gambling responsibly every day. Why should this activity be curtailed because of the problems of a very small minority? I watched a TV programme about a chap who had a problem with FOBTs. The betting shop banned him for his own good and he then went on to blow his money on scratch cards instead. You don't ban alcohol because of a few alcoholics. You can ban or restrict FOBTs easily but it will merely displace the problem of the minority, to the detriment of the majority. Help those minority who have a problem but don't punish the vast, overwhelming majority who gamble responsibly with their leisure money and within their means. Mark I have been a gambler for over 20 years. I have lost jobs because of my gambling. I've been to prison. I've been made homeless and tried to kill myself. In my life I have probably lost over £400,000. Since bookmakers have had roulette terminals, I think it has made people's gambling addictions much worse. In the past I used to spend all day in a bookmakers. I once gambled away £6,000, all within two-and-a-half hours. People who could control their gambling on horses and football now find themselves completely out of control. The buzz from the machines is so addictive that it is nearly impossible to stop. I have seen a lot of anti-social behaviour from people using the machines and I know that some staff are told not to report it. I believe the government, like with smoking, will never ban it because they get so much money from it. I have now excluded myself from many betting shops. I printed off letters with my photo and drove around different areas in the middle of the night posting the letters to every betting shop I could find. That way, I know if I want to go into a bookmakers, it means a 70-mile drive to a betting shop outside my self-exclusion zone. Nowadays I use online betting sites where you can control your betting by using deposit limits. Media playback is not supported on this device For the second successive year, the top-flight crown was decided on the final day in 2015 - Emma Hayes' side completing the league and FA Cup double by edging out Manchester City. But could 2016 possibly throw up even more drama? Arsenal have strengthened and the minnows of the league are looking at Leicester City's exploits in the men's Premier League with renewed optimism that anything is possible. BBC Sport looks at what is driving each club as they prepare for the new campaign. Listen: 'The most unpredictable WSL ever' Chelsea winger Gemma Davison says the feeling of being the hunted in 2016 is a welcome one for a team that has strengthened since last season. "Everyone wants to defend the title, but when you achieve something and win things people want to beat you," she said. "But they can also fear you. "I love that feeling, the feeling of teams wanting to beat you means you are strong and it's something to enjoy." Media playback is not supported on this device England international Karen Carney is the highest-profile Chelsea arrival and adds to an already impressive forward line that includes three England attackers and FA Cup match-winner Ji So-Yun. "We are continuing to build as we did last season and there is definitely more depth to take us to another level," added Davison. "We want to compete in everything. "It's a great league and no-one can really predict how it will go." Manchester City have been a growing force in the top flight, marking their induction to WSL by clinching the Continental Cup in 2014 and then going on to claim a Champions League spot as league runners-up last season. City and England captain Steph Houghton says it is an "exciting" place to be, and boss Nick Cushing has brought in Sweden striker Kosovare Asllani from Paris St-Germain and prolific Scotland forward Jane Ross. "We want to be successful. There is a lot of pressure on us, but it is a good pressure to allow us to go and perform," said Houghton. "The individuals in this side strive in these circumstances and situations. "Everybody will look at us, we are a big club with a lot of international players here and we have a great set-up that everyone is trying to emulate now." Leicester City's exploits in the Premier League, going from relegation escape artists one season to frontrunners the next, resonates with the little-fancied clubs in the women's game. Sunderland Ladies had already gone a long way to rewriting the expectations of sides outside the established guard last season by topping the league for a few weeks after winning promotion from the second tier. Reading came up as last term's WSL 2 champions and forward Amber Stobbs says they will be keen to follow the examples of the Foxes and Lady Black Cats. "Hey, we can be the new Leicester," grinned Stobbs. "Any hope in sport is good hope. It's an inspiration. "Seeing a club do what Sunderland did makes you believe what is possible. It showed that the league is not set in its ways. You can challenge, it's not that you are new and will stay at the bottom." Doncaster striker Natasha Dowie, a WSL 1 title and FA Cup winner with Liverpool, echoed Stubbs' sentiment. "Teams learned last year not to underestimate sides," she said. "Look at the men's Premier League with Leicester City, who would have thought?" Sunderland boss Carlton Fairweather, a member of Wimbledon's infamous Crazy Gang that rose through the English football ranks and won the 1988 FA Cup final against Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool, knows well the power of self-belief. "Look at the Leicester side, they haven't spent as much money as the big 10 teams in the Premier League and they are competing," he said. "It shows you what a bit of togetherness and having individuals that are willing to learn and who want to improve can achieve." Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs can pin-point the moment the WSL 1 title began to slip for the Gunners' grasp last year - a 1-1 draw just six games into the season against a Bristol side that would eventually get relegated. With only 16 league matches to play, the margin for error is small. For the second successive year, the title was decided on the final day and Arsenal were not in the running. "Look at the season before when Liverpool went from third to first on the last weekend - that does not really happen," said Nobbs. "One game like that shows how ruthless it is and that's what makes it exciting and why fans get excited - you don't know what's going to happen." "There are not many games in our league. When you lose one game it can knock you from first to third - every game is crucial." And yet Arsenal were still able to add to their trophy cabinet last season with a Continental Cup triumph that Nobbs says signified the end of a disappointing season and marked new hope for a better 2016. "To say we won the Continental Cup at the end a bit of a rollercoaster of season was a good turning point for us to put that behind us and get us thinking about winning some more trophies," she said. The Continental Cup triumph - their first piece of silverware under Spanish boss Pedro Martinez Losa - inflicted a second major final defeat on Notts County in 2015, with the Magpies also losing the 2015 Women's FA Cup decider. Notts' England international goalkeeper Carly Telford says the Meadow Lane club is determined "to go one better". She added: "Of course you want to make progress from having an empty cookie jar to starting to fill it." It has been all change at Liverpool Ladies. Two-time title-winning manager Matt Beard has left and gone are a host of players, including England's most-capped international Fara Williams, Lionesses striker Dowie and Nigeria forward Asisat Oshoala. In their place are a number of new arrivals - among them England defender Alex Greenwood - as well as new boss Scott Rodgers, who was promoted from assistant manager. For a side that meekly relinquished their title last season, having eventually finishing second from bottom, defender Satara Murray says a fresh feeling at the Reds is a welcome one. Media playback is not supported on this device "Sometimes it's good to have new faces in the team," she said. "With nine new signings and a new manager, I hope that will allow us to be a whole different team. "As a team we have to prove people wrong and show that we have not gone anywhere. We had one bad season - it happens. "It now has to be a better year. Liverpool were champions in 2013 and 2014 and that meant we had a big target on our back in 2015. This year, not having that is a nice thing." While Liverpool have been the busiest club in the transfer market, Birmingham City Ladies have been among the least active, brining in Corina Schroder from Liverpool while Hall of Fame player Carney and goalkeeper Becky Spencer moved to Chelsea. Blues manager David Parker admits trying to compete pound-for-pound with the rich is beyond them and says it is "essential" the club produce home-grown talent. Birmingham vice-captain Kerys Harrop says the policy is "refreshing". "We have to be realistic, we don't have the budget to go and buy world-class international players and it is nice to think that we are using our own resources, our own youngsters coming through the system," she said. "It is a shame other clubs aren't doing that and it is going more like the men's game. I'm proud that we are staying true to our roots." Across WSL 1 and WSL 2, there will be a total of 16 commentaries live on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra this season, starting with Manchester City's first home game against Notts County on Wednesday, 23 March. Each programme will feature news and interviews from the women's game, followed by build-up and commentary of the featured match. And, for the first time this season, the BBC will also be publishing a Women's Super League podcast. Powerful business groups are influential in the market. Half a dozen major networks, including Inter TV and 1+1, attract the biggest audiences. As part of reforms, Ukraine launched a public service TV broadcaster in 2015. Many newspapers publish Ukrainian and Russian-language editions. The press is diverse in terms of formats and political affiliation. National media have adopted a united patriotic agenda following the Russian annexation of Crimea and armed conflict in the east. Ukraine has banned cable relays of leading Russian TVs; in turn, areas under Russian or separatist control have seen pro-Kiev outlets silenced. Violence against journalists and curbs caused by the conflict in the east have raised concerns about media freedom. Reporters Without Borders says the government has been "tempted to use media control in response to security challenges". Around 58 per cent of Ukrainians - 21.1 million people - go online at least once a month, according to a 2015 marketing study. Google.com, Mail.ru, Vk.com, Yandex.ua and YouTube.com are the most visited websites. Russia's VKontakte is the leading social network, followed by Facebook, Odnoklassniki and Twitter. The genetic make-up of sperm changes as a man ages and develops DNA code that favours a longer life - a trait he then passes to his children. The team found the link after analysing the DNA of 1,779 young adults. Their work appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Experts have known for some time that lifespan is linked to the length of structures known as telomeres that sit at the end of the chromosomes that house our genetic code, DNA. Generally, a shorter telomere length means a shorter life expectancy. Like the plastic tips on shoelaces, telomeres protect chromosomal ends from damage. But in most cells, they shorten with age until the cells are no longer able to replicate. However, scientists have discovered that in sperm, telomeres lengthen with age. And since men pass on their DNA to their children via sperm, these long telomeres can be inherited by the next generation. Dr Dan Eisenberg and colleagues from the Department of Anthropology at Northwestern University studied telomere inheritance in a group of young people living in the Philippines. Telomeres, measured in blood samples, were longer in individuals whose fathers were older when they were born. The telomere lengthening seen with each year that the men delayed fatherhood was equal to the yearly shortening of telomere length that occurs in middle-aged adults. Telomere lengthening was even greater if the child's paternal grandfather had also been older when he became a father. Although delaying fatherhood increases the risk of miscarriage, the researchers believe there may be long-term health benefits. Inheriting longer telomeres will be particularly beneficial for tissues and biological functions that involve rapid cell growth and turnover - such as the immune system, gut and skin - the scientists believe. And it could have significant implications for general population health. "As paternal ancestors delay reproduction, longer telomere length will be passed to offspring, which could allow lifespan to be extended as populations survive to reproduce at older ages." Prof Thomas von Zglinicki, an expert in cellular ageing at Newcastle University, said more research was needed. "Very few of the studies that linked telomere length to health in late life have studied the impact, if any, of paternal age. It is still completely unclear whether telomere length at conception (or birth) or rate of telomere loss with age is more important for age-related morbidity and mortality risk in humans. "The authors did not examine health status in the first generation offspring." It might be possible that the advantage of receiving long telomeres from an old father is more than offset by the disadvantage of higher levels of general DNA damage and mutations in sperm, he said. Michael Young demanded £50,000 from Spalding grower David Bowman warning that he had injected his pumpkins with deadly potassium cyanide. Young, of Alfred Street, Boston, admitted a charge of blackmail between 1 and 5 September. He was sentenced to eight years in jail at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday. The court heard the 53-year-old issued his threat just a week before Mr Bowman, one of the largest pumpkin producers in Europe, was about to harvest. He was forced to plough up a field losing £120,000 worth of crops, but tests later revealed Young had injected some of the vegetables with water. Stuart Lody, prosecuting, said: "There is no evidence whatsoever that cyanide was ever used. "The defendant sent photographs of pumpkins being injected with a substance and articles about potassium cyanide obtained from the internet. "A letter said that the pumpkin crop had been selectively poisoned and warned Mr Bowman not to attempt to harvest or sell a single pumpkin until the blackmailer's demands were fully met." Young demanded payment within seven days. Mr Lody said: "Mr Bowman's immediate reaction was to call the police. One inquiry led to another and that led to the defendant." In sentencing, Judge Michael Heath, said: "Let anyone who is minded to do the sort of thing that you did realise the sort of sentence that will follow." Michael Cranmer-Brown, in mitigation, told the court that Young, who was in "dire financial straights", was "extremely sorry". In his annual report on Scotland's prisons, Brig Hugh Munro has drawn attention to the country's culture of violence. This, he said, is often combined with the "scourge of religious bigotry". In its response to the report, the Scottish government said crime was at its lowest level for 35 years. Brig Munro said that Scotland's "offending landscape" remained a challenge for the prison system. In the report he writes: "Parts of Scotland encourage a culture of violence, a culture that also suffers from the added scourge of religious bigotry. "It is this culture that I have seen going round prisons and most obviously when I inspected Addiewell in 2010, where I found that levels of violence are high." The annual report also highlights the role of family in influencing young people. Young offenders are reported to have said that family and relations have not only encouraged retaliation in incidents of conflict but demanded it. To do otherwise, according to the report, would encourage bullying, something that would bring shame and weakness to the family. Many young offenders are said to have been excluded from school, and often "hardly attended" school from the ages of 13 or 14 onwards. It is during the period of exclusion, according to Brig Munro, that young people get involved with alcohol, violence and possibly early experimentation with drugs. He added: "Young people from areas of risk must be... delivered into society on leaving school as responsible citizens equipped to play to their strengths and not be subject to the demons of violence, domestic abuse, religious bigotry, drink and drugs. "This will not happen overnight, but cultures and behaviours need to be changed and improved with a fully integrated and coordinated strategy across Scotland. "To do otherwise will invite yet another generation of young people into Polmont and Cornton Vale. What a waste that would be." The Scottish government has welcomed what it called the "broadly positive tone" of the report. Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill said: "Instead of giving free bed and board to less serious offenders, prison should be used to keep dangerous criminals off our streets for longer. "More needs to be done to tackle the rising prison population, much of which is driven by the large number of low level offenders being given short custodial sentences." Simon "Gus" Farmer, from Heathfield, began working on the guitar nine years ago. It was only at the beginning of March that Prince received it before showing it off on stage. He apparently liked it so much he ordered a bass guitar. Mr Farmer said: "He didn't have it long, but long enough to enjoy it." Prince, 57, was found dead in a lift on his Paisley Park estate, near Minneapolis, on Thursday. The cause of his death is still unknown. Mr Farmer said he built the guitar on spec nine years ago when Prince held a series of shows at London's O2 arena. Friends told him it would be the "perfect" guitar for Prince, but despite his best efforts he could not get it to the musician's attention. "It just didn't pan out and I just moved on to other things," he said. "But it gathered a bit of momentum on forums over the years until eventually he noticed it on social media." After his management got in touch, the guitar was sent to over him at the beginning of March. "He liked it and ordered a bass straight away which I was working on when he died," he said. "It was amazing to see he had performed with it and liked it so much he wanted another guitar from me. I've been told it was the last guitar he owned. "It doesn't really get any better than that - I couldn't have wanted to get the guitar to someone that suited me more." Mr Farmer, whose guitars sell for up to £15,000, said Prince's death came as an incredible shock as his complete focus over the last few weeks had been making the bass. "I'm definitely going to finish it, I'm just not sure what I'll do with it," he said. Officers in the North Wales and South Wales Police force areas have spoken to 166 young people, including 23 under 12s, for sending explicit images of themselves to others since 2013. Ceri Evans, of Barnardo's Cymru, said the issue was linked to an increased use of smart phones and social media. But he added most children did not know what they were doing was wrong. It is illegal to possess, take or distribute explicit images of someone who is under 18, including of yourself. Figures obtained by the BBC, show South Wales Police has investigated 87 under 17-year-olds in the past three years. This included a boy and girl aged eight, but no further action was taken against them. The criminal age of responsibility in England and Wales is 10. In north Wales, officers spoke to 79 young people, including children as young as 11 and 12. Dyfed-Powys Police and Gwent Police did not respond to the request for information. Mr Evans said while the majority of young people in Wales were not sexting, authorities should not become complacent and should make sure children knew the dangers of their actions. He said: "I think part of the reason is smart phones and social media and the internet are now a way of life for children and young people, so it's understanding that as use of these technologies emerge, use of behaviours like this are going to increase. "I think part of this is about education for children. I think part of the issue is perhaps children don't understand the consequences of sharing personal information or images like this via their smart phones. "From a personal point of view in terms of opening themselves up for bullying or exploitation but also from a legal perspective." Barnaby Joyce had said Boo and Pistol would have to be put down by Saturday if they did not leave, because they were "snuck in" from the US. Mr Joyce told the BBC he believed they were leaving by private jet on Friday, which he said was "the wisest move". But he has also expressed concerns the dogs could now be left stateless. "The question is if he breached our laws, then did he follow the correct laws in the US?" Mr Joyce told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "My worry is will the US let them back in? If not ... will they have anywhere to go?" Johnny Depp is living in Australia while filming the fifth instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. He and his wife Amber Heard are accused of not declaring the Yorkshire Terriers to customs officials when they flew into Queensland by private jet last month. Australia has strict import laws to prevent non-native diseases entering the country. The fate of the dogs has gripped Australia and world media. An online petition calling on Mr Joyce to spare them now has more than 17,000 signatures and it sparked a debate about the #waronterrier on Twitter. Dog row sparks #waronterrier "I get that Johnny Depp broke the law by not telling someone about his dogs but the response is death? That's the largest over-reaction ever," said Alexis Rogers on Facebook. Facebook user Bree Graham MacTaggart agreed: "They don't have to kill the dogs. They could just quarantine them." Others, however, did not express much sympathy for the Hollywood actor. "Very disappointed that Johnny Depp has acted so irresponsibly - he flouted the law," said Facebook user Rebecca Gracey. How did social media react? Terriergate grips Australia The dogs should have been properly checked and certificated and then quarantined after arriving in Australia. Their illicit entry appears to have been uncovered after a grooming salon on the Gold Coast posted pictures of them on its Facebook page. Mr Joyce said on Thursday: "If we start letting movie stars even though they've been the 'sexiest man alive' twice to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody? "It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States." Mr Joyce meanwhile had demanded an apology from a radio presenter who accused him of over-reacting. Kiis FM "shock jock" Kyle Sandilands told Mr Joyce in an angry telephone interview on Friday that he sounded "like an absolute clown" who made Australians "sound like a bunch of hillbilly redneck losers" by publicly threatening the life of someone's pets. "Sound like a classy guy. You're a government minister. Have some decency." Mr Joyce replied "it's the law, mate; that's how it works," before he was cut off. Customs officials are facing questions over how the dogs were let in despite the strict regulations, while Depp and Heard could face a fine. Can you take your dog to Australia? Source: Australian Department of Agriculture The premises had already been under investigation prior to the fire over possible building code violations. The warehouse had no sprinklers and one ex-resident called it a "death trap". Fire crews are still working at the scene and have warned that the number of fatalities is likely to rise. It is thought between 50-100 people were inside the venue when the fire broke out late on Friday. The blaze caused the roof to collapse on to the second floor, part of which then fell through to the ground floor. Its cause is not known. "When we started this investigation, if you had told us that you would have 33 victims, we wouldn't have believed you," said Sgt Ray Kelly of Alameda County, before the death toll rose by another three. "I don't know how many people are left in there." "People want answers. People want to know that the investigation into this fire is very thorough," Mr Kelly added. The opening of a criminal investigation allows authorities to preserve evidence and see if there was any criminal responsibility, whether through arson or negligence. On Monday, the city of Oakland began releasing the names of those killed, but withheld the name of the youngest, a 17-year-old. Cash Askew, 22 David Clines, 35 Nick Gomez-Hall, 25 Sara Hoda, 30 Travis Hough, 35 Donna Kellogg, 32 Brandon Chase Wittenauer, 32 One survivor said people initially thought that the smoke was part of the show. "I noticed the smoke and thought, 'Is that a fog machine?' Then people were running frantic," Chris Nechodom told SF Gate. "I looked to the back and it was just from wall to wall, the ceiling was on fire. Officials described the interior as like a maze, with the warehouse packed with furniture, mannequins and other objects, the only exit from the second floor a makeshift stairwell. The building, known as the Ghost Ship, was used to house artists in improvised studios but several reports say people were illegally living there too. Neighbours had complained to the city about rubbish piling up on the street outside, and about the illegal tenants. "That place was just a death trap,'' former resident Shelley Mack told the Associated Press. "I didn't think it was going to last this long before it went up or somebody shut it down.'' Families of loved ones are now being asked to gather things like toothbrushes and combs to aid with DNA identification. Media in Oakland named Derick Ion Almena as the co-operator of the collective with his partner, Micah Allison. A Facebook post by him lamenting the loss of his belongings but saying he was "blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound" drew a barrage of criticism online. A tongue-in-cheek sign posted by management of a Premier Inn warned Riverdancing residents against rehearsing reels while between floors. The World Irish Dance Championships are being held at the city's Waterfront Hall. A picture of the sign was posted to Twitter by Lianne Reddy. She tweeted that she "couldn't breathe with laughter". The sign, addressed to "all our Irish Dancing Champions", said: "We at Premier Inn understand how you need to practise constantly to perfect your skills. "However if you dance in the lifts they will stop moving and you will be stuck here until we can get an engineer to come and rescue you." It added: "P.S best of luck at the Waterfront." Lianne's tweet of the sign has attracted more than 500 retweets. She told the BBC that she was staying in the hotel as a guest when she spotted the message to guests. "We had noticed the hotel was really busy but didn't know why," she said. "I didn't realise there was an Irish dancing competition on until we saw the sign." The front of a derelict property on High Park Street in Toxteth collapsed onto the pavement shortly before 19.45 BST on Monday, Merseyside Police said. Nobody was hurt but a family living in a flat above a neighbouring shop has been evacuated. High Park Street is closed at its junction with Voelas Street and Rhiwlas Street while structural engineers and demolition experts assess the scene. Pedestrians and motorists are being warned to avoid the area. Liverpool City Council cabinet member for housing Frank Hont said: "What we think is that the frontage of the shop has collapsed but obviously we've got to check that there's no damage to the rest of the block. "There are people living on the other end of the block so our paramount concern is their safety." The regeneration of the Welsh Streets, which include Ringo Starr's birthplace, is set to start next month. A pilot scheme in High Park Street and Veolas Street will make 35 properties into "25 energy efficient homes", the council said. Developer PlaceFirst tweeted the collapse was "not related to any PlaceFirst development activity" and will "not affect" their plans. Ampadu, who is still at school, is one of 11 players on a standby list for Wales' World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland on Friday. Wales already have Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn, 17, in their squad. "When he eventually does get included in a Welsh senior team, there won't be too many surprised," Tisdale said. "I think he's in their picture going forward so if it's not this time, it'll be another time. "He's got a big future ahead of him, I don't think he's a one-hit wonder - I don't think he's going to be in [the squad] one minute, out the next." Ampadu made his professional debut in August and has represented Wales up to Under-19 level, but is also eligible to play for England. He was named Wales' young player of the year in November, but will only be drafted into Chris Coleman's squad if there are injuries among the 23 players initially called up. "I think the Welsh FA have appreciated, and decided early, that he's going to be a very important player for them over the coming years and I think this is the first of many situations," Tisdale added to BBC Radio Devon. "I'm philosophical about it all - I'm very happy for him and he wants to be involved with Wales." Media playback is not supported on this device Riders needed one win from five remaining games and, having been level after two quarters, pulled clear of play-off chasing Plymouth to win 99-69. Head coach Rob Paternostro guided them to 26 wins from 29 games, adding the trophy to their BBL Cup win in March. "We pulled out some close games this year - that's been important," he said. Speaking after the third championship win in Riders' history, he added: "It feels great. We went in at half-time, we thought we had to get some stops, we came out third quarter and played good defence. Another great team effort. "It has been a difficult week. Everyone had us pencilled in as champions but I wanted to get the job done tonight." With the scores tied 44-44 at halfway, Riders scored 24 points to the visitors' seven in a key third quarter. Paternostro's side overcame Plymouth to land the BBL Trophy in March - a result which sealed back-to-back successes in the knockout competition. They will now look to win the BBL play-offs for a third time, having last won the end-of-season knockout in 2013. Plymouth are still well placed to finish in the top eight and secure a play-off spot as they sit seventh. Bruce Roseweir was caught when he was filmed on CCTV filling up his company car at the city's Broxden service station shortly before the raid. The 36-year-old admitted taking £410 from the Co-Op on Oakbank Road after presenting a knife to an employee. Lord Bannatyne told the heroin addict he had committed a "serious and nasty offence". Roseweir was pictured on CCTV buying petrol and a pair of gloves which he wore during the robbery on 26 October. In the footage he was also seen wearing the same blue hooded top he wore during the raid. Entering the Co-Op at about 21:25, he walked up to the checkout and pulled out a knife, telling the female employee working there to "empty the till". The manager came through from the back of the shop minutes later to find the employee hysterical and Roseweir gone, along with £410 in notes from the till. The High Court in Glasgow heard that Roseweir had previous convictions for crimes of violence, and was "desperate to fund" his heroin habit. Jailing him for five years, Lord Bannatyne said: "This was a serious and nasty offence involving the presentation of a knife. "In her victim impact statement your victim talks of her life having been turned upside down by what you did." Passengers have suffered months of disruptions amid staff shortages and strike action by conductors. TfL would be able to "get a grip" on the situation, Sadiq Khan told the government. His previous offer of a temporary takeover was rejected. Operator Govia Thameslink Railway said its focus was on resolving issues, "not arguments about political control". In a letter to Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, Mr Khan said TfL had the expertise of running public transport services. He also criticised the government's refusal to reconsider who should run the franchise. TfL can deliver a better service than Southern Rail by "immediately assigning an experienced team to fix the service", he wrote. Mr Khan said immediate action was needed adding, "passengers should not have to suffer any longer the appalling level of service they are currently forced to endure". A spokesperson for Govia Thameslink Railway said: "Our focus is on resolving the immediate issues to restore the service that passengers rightly expect, not arguments about political control." Apologising to passengers, the operator added: "We are committed to a long-term franchise, reporting to the Department for Transport." A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "This week's strike affecting Southern services has needlessly inconvenienced the travelling public and it is right that the action was suspended for talks to resume. "It's important now to leave the union and the train operator to try and reach an agreement as quickly as possible." Southern staff with the Rail, Maritime and Transport union went on strike for three days this week in a dispute over the role of conductors. The union have been in talks with management at the conciliation service Acas. The talks have been adjourned for the day and will resume on Monday morning, an Acas spokesperson said. Southern added 89 trains to Thursday's timetable after the RMT union suspended a five-day conductors' strike on Tuesday and agreed to new negotiations. The service will not return to the pre-strike timetable until the weekend but trains will now run to Falmer station for fans travelling to Brighton and Hove Albion's game against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Championship. The club said earlier the the strike could cost it as much as £300,000 in lost ticket sales. Tissington, which has a population of about 110 people, will welcome 35,000 over the course of a week for the Tissington Well Dressings. Six wells have been decorated using clay, petals and coffee beans. It is believed the tradition began when locals reasoned they escaped the Black Death due to the water supply's purity. Sir Richard FitzHerbert, chief executive of Tissington Hall, said: "The wells never dried up in times of plague. It is done to praise the Lord, but it has a secular tone to it." The themes of the tributes to the wells vary, with this year's decorations celebrating events such as the Queen's 90th birthday, the 150th year since Beatrix Potter's birth and the ancient game of Shrovetide Football. Wells are dressed by applying clay on wooden boards, using materials like coffee beans to make an outline and placing twigs, wool and petals on to the surface for different colour effects. Sir Richard said since the event began, the village had welcomed visitors from Spain, France and New Zealand. "It's what we're famous for and long may it continue," he said. The event, which began on Thursday, will conclude on Wednesday. Five firms have each fitted the product to two coaches as part of a trial taking place across continental Europe. Seeing Machines' Fatigue Monitoring System is already used by miners. However, one expert cautioned it was unclear whether it would improve safety in the coach industry. The Australian firm's product uses special cameras installed inside a vehicle to monitor the driver's gaze. If it detects they are distracted or taking "microsleeps" - naps that can last less than a second and take place without the person's knowledge - it activates a vibration motor built into their seat. In addition it triggers an alarm in the co-driver's sleeping compartment to alert them to the fact they should take over control of the vehicle. The patented technology uses invisible infrared light to detect the driver's eyes in the dark without distracting them, and can be used even if they are wearing glasses. Seeing Machines' chief executive suggested the system could detect the risk of an accident at an earlier point than alternative products such as lane detection cameras and steering wheel monitoring sensors. "Coach accidents aren't that frequent, but when they do happen they are so catastrophic that they make the [newspaper] front pages and in a lot of cases it is almost the end of the coach company involved as no-one wants to ride with them anymore," Ken Kroeger told the BBC. "The way the technology works is that it tracks your head position and your eye aperture. "If you turn your head beyond a certain angle for a specified duration while moving over a certain speed, it will remind you your eyes should be on the road. "Then for fatigue it looks at the frequency of blinking, the velocity of the eyelid when it's opening and the duration of the eye closure to determine if it's a microsleep." Seeing Machines has teamed up with the coach operator Royal Beuk to hold the trial. The Dutch firm has installed the tech on two of its vehicles and has recruited a further four coach firms to do likewise. Over the winter months the vehicles will travel from the Netherlands to ski resorts in Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Then, in the summer, they will travel to southern parts of France, Italy and Spain. "There are competitor products on the market and we evaluated a few of them," Royal Beuk's research manager Marc Beuk said. "But all of the others required something from the driver. One system required them to wear a special hat, another involved special glasses hooked up to wires. "This was the only device that we know of that didn't give the driver something to do - once he turns the ignition key the system boots up and it starts monitoring him." He added that if the nine-month test was a success, his firm intended to install the kit across its 60-vehicle fleet and act as its European distributor. In recent years driver fatigue has been blamed for several accidents. US investigators said it was a factor in a bus crash in which 15 passengers died in New York in 2011, as well as another similar incident which killed four people in Virginia last year. In the UK, a coroner cited it as the reason a coach veered off the M25 motorway near Slough, Berkshire, in 2003, resulting in the deaths of six people. However, one expert warned it was unclear exactly how common the problem was. "Crashes are very rare when measured per kilometre, nevertheless they do occur and some of these may be related to fatigue, although very little is known about the precise numbers," said Prof Pete Thomas, head of the Transport Safety Research Centre at Loughborough University. "The trial of a driver-fatigue detection system for coach drivers will provide useful further information to help improve coach safety, although it is important the trials are properly scientifically controlled. "Other factors such as speed and alcohol may also be important causes of coach crashes and bus operators should continue to reduce all types of risks." It currently costs the mining industry about £10,000 to install Seeing Machines' equipment in each vehicle on top of a continuing licence fee. But the firm said that if the trial was a success it intended to offer coach firms a "less rugged" version that would be about a quarter of the cost. It added it was also in early-stage talks to introduce its products to the airline industry. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), England Hockey and England Netball have launched TeamUp, a three-year campaign to maximise the legacy of three home World Cups and build a fan base for women's team sports. Through TeamUp, teachers from primary and secondary schools can access free training and support resources to bring the sports to their school. Research shows the huge impact of team sport on the development of communication skills, leadership and teamwork Launched as part of Women's sports week, the aim is to reach 150,000 girls aged seven to 13 across the country and give them the opportunity to experience the benefits of team sport. With the UK playing host to World Cups from all three sports in the coming years, it is hoped more girls and women will be inspired to grab a cricket bat, hockey stick or netball and start playing. "More women and girls are getting active and getting involved with team sport than ever before," said Clare Connor, director of England Women's Cricket at the ECB. "Over the next three years we have a uniquely wonderful opportunity to develop this growth further. "The three consecutive World Cups, starting with the ICC Women's World Cup in 2017, present a perfect platform to inspire the next generation of cricketers, hockey players and netballers. "It is our responsibility to convert this opportunity into something truly memorable." The ICC Women's World Cup starts on 26 June 2017, and is being held through England. Following that, London will host the Women's Hockey World Cup in July 2018 and the Netball World Cup will be coming to Liverpool in June 2019. "Team sports provide unique benefits for girls in addition to health and fitness," said Sally Munday, chief executive of England Hockey. "Research shows the huge impact of team sport on the development of communication skills, leadership and teamwork." For more information about TeamUp or to register your school click here. The 28-year-old, who previously said he would be missing for three months, has now stated that he will be out for between four and six months. Nasri posted a picture of himself with former Arsenal team-mate Marouane Chamakh on his Instagram account. "Just had surgery everything went really well hopefully will be back in 4 to 6 months," he wrote. Nasri has made eight appearances for City this season - scoring once in the 2-0 win at Everton in August - but has started only two games. The France international has not featured since coming on as a second-half substitute in the 5-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on 17 October. Bailey Sumner, from Blackpool, died from head injuries at Easter 2011. The SwampFlyer ride at Greenwood Forest Park near Caernarfon, Gwynedd, had been open only a week. The Dolgellau inquest heard that a mountaineering clip had been passed through a "false loop" in the rope supporting him. Park owner Stephen Bristow said the mistake should have been spotted during safety checks. "The training required them to be absolutely rigorous about what they were doing," he told the inquest. Pathologist Dr Anthony Caslin said Bailey died after suffering a brain injury due to a fractured skull following a fall from height. The inquest jury heard Mr Bristow had taken a decision to open a zip wire at the park in November 2010 and after researching and taking advice had opened SwampFlyer on 17 April 2011. The ride was removed immediately after Bailey's death. Mr Bristow said: "I didn't want it to remain there. It was a symbol of tragedy." He said he had received professional guidance before opening the ride and had not been warned about the risk of a false loop. The park had used a voluntary Health and Safety Executive (HSE)approved scheme of safety inspections, and an expert had passed the ride as safe. "We get the best advice we can find," Mr Bristow said, adding there was no legal requirement to have an inspection. The court heard there was "top-quality equipment" and staff were trained to check equipment. Det Sgt Gary Williams told the inquest that Bailey became detached from some lanyards which remained on the cable. The karabiner, a metal loop, was still attached to the loops of the harness. "It was our opinion the karabiner had been attached to the false loop and as soon as weight had been applied it became detached," he said. Philip Mitchell, a chartered mechanical engineer from Leicestershire, who inspects roller coasters and other equipment, said such a tragedy had never occurred before. Kevin Elliott, the lawyer for Greenwood Forest Park, added there was a plethora of HSE guidance but none highlighted the potential peril in Bailey's case. Coroner Nicola Jones said the delay between Bailey's death and the inquest being held was down to a police investigation and the Crown Prosecution Service. She told the jury: "What we want to know is how he came to die. This isn't a court that deals with any issues of blame. Nobody is on trial here." The inquest continues.

Four-year-old Boston was thought to have been abandoned on the number 158 bus on the evening of 28 April. He spent the night on the bus as driver Amos Paul Mak launched an appeal on Facebook to get him home. The Staffordshire bull terrier has now been reunited with "delighted" owner Paulina Rybak. Ms Rybak, who is mum to Filip, 8, and Zofia, 3, said he went missing during a walk on Francis Road, Leyton, east London. "It was only a few seconds and he was gone. We didn't see him. I started looking everywhere," she said. Ms Rybak contacted her vet and Newham Council to report Boston missing - but found him after seeing an Evening Standard story on the appeal. The pair were reunited after checks were made to make sure Ms Rybak is Boston's owner. "I was so happy," she said. "When people lose their dogs it can be very difficult to find them. "I don't know how he got on the bus, he is a bit scared of buses." "We have had him since he was six weeks old, he and my daughter are best friends." A Newham Council spokesperson said their animal welfare team took care of Boston over the weekend while they tried to track down his owner. "This incident should remind all dog owners of the importance of microchipping," the spokesperson said. "If Boston had been microchipped, which is now a legal requirement, then it would have been much quicker and easier for him to have been returned to his correct owner. " Boston has now been microchipped.

An adventurous dog who found his way onto a London bus has been reunited with his owner six days after he went missing.

The latest figures from the Department of Health show that at the end of September 230,625 people where waiting. That is compared to 155,558 in September 2014. Department targets suggest no-one should wait for more than 18 weeks for a first appointment, but 110,000 people have been waiting longer than that. The statistics, which are published quarterly, also show that 90,643 were waiting for diagnostic tests and 62,697 are waiting for inpatient treatment. Last week, Health Minister Simon Hamilton said he planned to use £40m given to his department in the latest reallocation of funds to tackle waiting lists. He said the money should provide 40,000 more assessments and up to 15,000 extra operations. Ulster Unionist MLA Michael McGimpsey, a former health minister, described the situation as "outrageous". "Some [people] afford to wait, but for those people with serious illnesses or those having to endure unimaginable pain - they are badly being let down," he said. Mr McGimpsey said he welcomed the allocation of £40m. But he added that Mr Hamilton's "premature and exaggerated claims of kick-starting the local health service" needed to be "tempered". "In the previous financial year, [Mr Hamilton's] department received over £80m additional funding and the situation only continued to get worse." Mr Hamilton said the extra money is already making a difference but added that more will need to be done to address the current problems. "Already, patients are being contacted to attend appointments for hip and knee operations, spinal procedures and urology, for example," he said. "It is the start of a long journey to get waiting times back to an acceptable position and will need further additional funding to ensure success, but we are beginning to head in the right direction." The woman called for help to remove the tiger snake from her suburban home in Melbourne, Victoria, on Sunday. Snake catcher Barry Goldsmith said the reptile entered through an open door before curling up among the decorations. Tiger snakes, found along Australia's coast, are highly venomous. Mr Goldsmith said the woman "reacted quite well" after making the discovery. "She left the room, put a towel down as a door jam and came and rang me," he told the BBC. The snake was released back into the wild. The species is protected in most Australian states. Mr Goldsmith said he was used to finding snakes in unusual places. "I've found them in ugg boots, washing machines, dog kennels, cat boxes, toilets, kitchen cupboards and bookcases," he said. Kuldip Sahota, who has led the Labour-led authority since 2011, said it is the right time to hand over to a new leader amid a "challenging climate". He said the council had achieved a lot with the town's Southwater shopping development and helping secure a £90m army logistics base in Donnington. A new leader will be elected on 26 May. Mr Sahota will remain as a councillor. For more updates on this and other stories in Shropshire He said: "The last five years has seen this council achieve an incredible amount against a backdrop of the deepest cuts to council budgets ever and the probably the toughest financial outlook this council has ever faced. "I joined this council aged 50 and next month I mark my 65th birthday. "I feel it is the right time to hand the reins on to a new leader who can continue to move this council forward in a very challenging climate." Telford & Wrekin Council leader Kuldip Sahota has announced he is to step down from his position next month. Councillor Sahota has been leader of the Council since May 2011 and will resign from the position prior to Telford & Wrekin's Annual General Meeting on 23 May when the Council will elect a new leader.

Itoje, the youngest tourist with the British and Irish Lions this summer, says as a kid he looked up to former England wings Ugo Monye and Topsy Ojo. "If I want to be honest, it's because they were black," said Itoje. Speaking to 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly podcast, Itoje, who was was born in Camden to Nigerian parents, added: "They were the guys I looked up to and who I had a natural affinity to. "You look around at the type of schools I went to, there are not many black guys playing rugby, or as many black guys when you watch Premiership and international games - though it is changing a little bit now. "You see before games at Allianz Park these mini rugby festivals, I tend to look around and see who is playing and there are a lot more BAME [black, Asian and minority ethnic] kids about. So it's good, and it is definitely improving." In a wide-ranging interview, Itoje also discussed being the youngest member of the Lions squad, Muhammad Ali, and the importance of his faith. Itoje made his England debut in 2016 and his 12 caps have included two Six Nations titles - including a Grand Slam in 2016 - plus a 3-0 series whitewash of Australia down under last summer. His performances for club and country have earned him a place in Warren Gatland's 41-man Lions squad to face New Zealand this summer. As the youngest member of the squad, he will have the responsibility of looking after the soft-toy tour mascot, Billy. "I've heard that players try and sabotage it," he said. "I am going to have to keep quite it tight to me, I don't think I can trust anybody, I heard there are some severe punishments." Speaking about the tour, he added: "I am looking forward to the whole experience. I think it is going to be a real eye-opening experience for me. "A lot of these guys, I know who they are but I don't really know them - so it will be interesting to get to know these guys, build new relationships and new bonds. And from what I hear, these bonds tend to last a very long time." Itoje says his sporting idol is the three-time world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, who died last year aged 74. Aside from his sporting achievements in the ring, Ali was also a civil rights campaigner who transcended the bounds of sport, race and nationality. "Obviously his skills in the ring are unbelievable, but what makes him so impressive was his mind," added Itoje, who has lost just once in his England career. "How he was able to captivate an audience and speak to a crowd. Whether you liked him or not you still respected him. For me, he is well and truly the greatest. "For me the biggest [thing] was how he put his religious and political beliefs before the boxing. He wasn't afraid of speaking out, when other athletes were afraid of speaking out. "He wasn't doing this at the end [of his career], he started doing this when he was 21, when he was world champion. He's just an incredible person to look up to." Itoje, who is a devout Christian, added: "Once you reach a certain level - play for your club and your country - naturally you get a bit of a following and have people of a younger generation looking up to you. "You go on the pitch and try and play your best and give the best representation of yourself. The by-product of doing that stuff well is people of a younger generation will follow, in the way that when I was a younger player, watching the greats of the past were the same kind of inspiration." Itoje, who can play lock or blind-side flanker, was named man of the match as Saracens became champions of Europe for the first time as they beat Top 14 side Racing 92 in Lyon last May. On Saturday in Edinburgh they face two-time runners-up Clermont, who have finished second in France's top division regular season to qualify for the play-offs. "Their fans are probably the loudest, most passionate group I've come across," said Itoje. "Big games are always different," added the reigning European Player of the Year. "There is always an extra edge and everyone is a bit sharper and more switched on during the week. There is more of a build-up, a bit more anxiety in the lead-up to the game. "It's going to be special. Clermont are a top side. We are going to prepare unbelievably well. We will leave no stone unturned and make sure we are the best we can be." If you can bear it, cast your mind back to 17 November 1993. In the final game of their campaign, Wales needed to beat Romania in Cardiff to make it to USA 94. With half an hour to go and the score 1-1, the Welsh were awarded a penalty. Controversial spot-kicks against them had cost them a place at the 1978 and 1986 World Cups. Here, then, was the perfect way to ensure Wales would not miss the party this time. By now, even the English were watching: with Wales the only home nation with a chance of progressing, the BBC abandoned coverage of their game in San Marino to show events in Cardiff live as Swindon defender Paul Bodin took the ball and placed it on the spot. Viewing figures increased from 2.2 million to 12.9 million after the switch, although 34,000 people phoned the BBC in the space of five minutes to complain. If they kept watching, though, they witnessed a moment that remains engrained in the Welsh national psyche. Instead of putting Wales a giant step nearer to the United States, Bodin smashed his spot-kick against the crossbar. The chance was gone. A late Romania winner confirmed a miserable night for Wales, which turned to tragedy when a fan, John Hill, was killed by a marine distress flare fired across the stadium after the final whistle. Wales have not come close to qualifying for a World Cup in the two decades that have followed and Bodin's miss remains a symbol of Welsh hopes dashed. But a look back at the game shows how unfair it is to make him the scapegoat. And a closer look at his career shows he is actually remembered for two penalties, not one. Wales' World Cup bid could not have got off to a worse start. In their first game, in Bucharest, they were 5-0 down to the Romanians by half-time, eventually losing 5-1. But the matches that followed, particularly at home, put Terry Yorath's side right back in the reckoning. By the time of the return fixture, the Welsh were unbeaten in 10 games on their own turf. Romania (a) Lost 1-5 Faroe Islands (h) Won 6-0 Cyprus (a) Won 1-0 Belgium (a) Lost 0-2 Belgium (h) Won 2-0 RCS* (a) Drew 1-1 Faroe Islands (a) Won 3-0 RCS* (h) Drew 2-2 Cyprus (h) Won 2-0 Romania (h) Lost 1-2 * Combined Czech Republic & Slovak team The decision to switch their matches to the national rugby stadium, Cardiff Arms Park, was a masterstroke and had seen them beat sides of the calibre of Brazil and reigning world champions Germany. Romania, even with a magician like Gheorghe Hagi in their team, held no fears. "We were at home, with fantastic support from the 40,000 crowd," recalled Bodin. "The build-up was perfect. There was a real feeling we could beat anyone, among players, fans and the nation in general. "The days before the Romania game were brilliant with the amount of exposure we got, the number of people asking me to get tickets. It was a sell-out and everyone believed we could win." Wales captain Barry Horne, who played every minute of the campaign, added: "Beforehand, there was no doubt we would do it. "Right before kick-off [Yorath's assistant] Peter Shreeves said to us 'go out there and have a look at the player you are up against, and all the players in their team. Ask yourself if they are good enough to stop you from going to the World Cup finals'. "Those were his last words before we ran out and I remember thinking to myself 'no, they are not'." Four teams were in with a shout of progressing out of Group Four before the final fixtures kicked off - Belgium, the RCS (a combined Czech Republic and Slovakia side), Romania and Wales. All of them were in action. "We only needed a draw to qualify but from the start we tried to keep the ball and not give Wales too many chances," said Romania winger Ilie Dumitrescu. "We knew they had their supporters behind them and against us. So we did not sit back, and we tried not to give their fans any exciting moments." A skilful Romania side did far more than simply keep the home fans quiet. They battered their hosts early on. They created chance after chance in the first half, and took the lead when Hagi danced in unopposed from the right wing and scored with a shot that bounced in front of Neville Southall and skidded under him. "I made a mistake," Yorath said this week. "Before the game I meant to tell the players that once Hagi drifts over to the right, he likes to come in on his left and hit a shot. "But really, Nev should have done better. It went through him." Southall agrees, telling BBC Radio Wales in a special show marking the anniversary: "I am sick and tired of people blaming Paul Bodin for the defeat because they are totally wrong. I should have saved that first goal. If I could have come off then, I would have done." But the game changed dramatically in the second half when Dean Saunders hooked in an equaliser from close range and, roared on by their fans, Wales poured forward in search of more goals. Two minutes after Saunders had equalised, Gary Speed latched on to a Jeremy Goss cross inside the Romania area before tumbling under a Dan Petrescu challenge. Swiss referee Kurt Rothlisberger pointed to the spot. "When Wales got the penalty, I thought we were finished," said Dumitrescu. I am sick and tired of people blaming Paul Bodin for the defeat because they are totally wrong. I should have saved that first goal "Because of the way the match had gone, with us missing some very good chances, I was thinking our opportunity had passed and now this was their big chance to go the World Cup." While the Romania players argued with Rothlisberger, Bodin made his way towards the penalty area. "I remember turning to see Paul walk up the pitch from his left-back position and thinking he looked white as a sheet," captain Horne told BBC Radio Wales. Was he feeling the pressure? "I felt confident," said Bodin, "I wouldn't have stepped up if I didn't think I could score." Bodin was trying to keep his concentration during the delay, and Romania goalkeeper Florin Prunea tried to distract him. "While the referee was talking to the players, I saw the keeper pick up the ball and kiss it," he said. "I watched him do it and, where he kissed it, I wiped it into the ground. I don't know why, it was just by instinct. "But that is not an excuse. I kept my mind and I kept my focus, and I just hit it as hard as I could. That was how I took penalties, by drilling them rather than placing them." Bodin, who had scored all three of his previous penalties for Wales, certainly got enough power behind his shot - so much that the ball crashed off the bar and flew back high over his head. "The crossbars at the Arms Park were oval, not round," Bodin explained. "I had hit it on the apex, so it came right back out. So if it had been half an inch lower it might have hit underneath the bar, and bounced down and maybe in." Wales hopes were not over after the miss. Ian Rush and Saunders both forced good saves from Prunea but, at the other end, Romania were also going close. Dumitrescu fired over after a weaving run and Florin Raducioiu missed a virtually open goal. By now the game was wide open, but Romania's capacity for counter-attack proved decisive. They scored what proved the winner after 83 minutes. "We were very fast breaking forward when we recovered the ball," remembers Dumitrescu. "I received the ball from Gheorghe Popescu in midfield and passed two or three players. One of them tried to foul me, tactically, but I did not stop. "I saw Florin Raducioiu was in a very good position and, when he beat Southall, I thought 'we are going to the World Cup'." As Wales trudged off deflated at the final whistle, the Romanians celebrated - and the flare that would kill John Hill was fired across the ground. Hill's death put Wales' failure in perspective, especially for Bodin. "It was horrendous. I had seen the flare fly over our heads as we came off," said Bodin. "He was there to watch a game of football but he would not be going home." The mood was bleak among the Wales players afterwards. Southall, devastated by his mistake for the first goal, wanted to quit international football. "I spoke to Shreeves after the game about giving up," revealed Southall. "I won't tell you what he said, but it ended in 'off'." I do not want to sound like my miss for Wales did not matter, because it did. It was the lowest moment of my career. But I just had to get on with things. I had to bounce back Yorath, meanwhile, knew his five-year stint as manager was over - his contract expired the following day - and Bodin was also at rock bottom. "My wife and my mum were at the game and I remember seeing their faces in the bar afterwards," he said. "All of the boys told me it wasn't my fault but for me it was like the world had come to an end, and I did not get any sleep that night, or the night afterwards." He remembers getting teased by Swindon players in training the morning after but, crucially, his manager John Gorman pulled him to one side and told him he would carry on taking penalties for the Robins. "As is quite commonly known, we were awarded a penalty the following Saturday, against Ipswich," added Bodin. "I scored it. It was my duty as a professional not to let what happened for Wales affect what happened for my club. "I do not want to sound like my miss for Wales did not matter, because it did. It was the lowest moment of my career. But I just had to get on with things. I had to bounce back." Bodin would go to the United States for the World Cup the following summer, but only as a spectator. Instead it was Romania who embarked on a World Cup adventure. With an imperious Hagi one of the stars of the tournament, they shocked Argentina and reached the quarter-finals - where they, in turn, went out after failing from the spot. "The Wales game is remembered as being one of the most important games in Romania for our generation. When we got to America we had a great tournament but I also know how it feels when your team misses a vital penalty," added Dumitrescu. He scored in a topsy-turvy shoot-out against Sweden but Miodrag Belodedici missed, and Romania were out. "It was our big chance to reach the semi-finals, but in a moment it was gone." Bodin will surely sympathise - a little. "To be honest with you, that was the lowest point in all our careers," Horne said this week. "My way of dealing with it was to put it in a box and try never ever to think about it. I still do, of course, but I try not to because it is so heartbreaking." Bodin, now 49 and coach of the Wales Under-17 side, has also had to come to terms with his miss. Thankfully, he has been able to move on. "It still sits there in my head and it is obviously still talked about," Bodin said. "The most disappointing thing for me is that, unlike some players who miss a vital penalty, I never got the opportunity to put things right." He has other fonder memories of his international career, like playing the pass that saw Rush run clear to score the winner against Germany in a European Championship qualifier in 1991. And, if we are going to attempt to define Bodin's career by a penalty, then it is only fair to count a crucial one he scored too, five months earlier, for Swindon against Leicester in the 1993 play-off final that would decide who was promoted to the Premier League. "There was probably more pressure on me at Wembley," said Bodin. "We had gone 3-0 up but been pegged back to 3-3. They were in the ascendancy when we got a penalty in the 84th minute. Again, I felt confident. That time, I scored. "I still live in Swindon and that is the one that gets mentioned more there. I am sure it is different in Wales, though." At a distance of five billion km, the telescope only sees the satellites as faint pinpricks of light, and yet it has been able to discern information on their size, colour, and rotational and orbital characteristics. Hubble finds the little objects to be somewhat chaotic in their behaviour. They are very likely wobbling end over end as they move through their orbits. "If you can imagine what it would be like to live on [these moons], you would literally not know where the Sun was coming up tomorrow," said Mark Showalter from the Seti Institute, US. "The Sun might rise in the west and set in the east. The Sun might rise in the west and set in the north for that matter. "In fact, if you had real estate on the north pole… you might discover one day you’re on the south pole." The assessment, published in Nature journal, will be verified in six weeks when the moons are passed by a probe. Nasa's New Horizons spacecraft is currently bearing down on the Pluto system and will execute a fly-through on 14 July. It will gather a mass of data on the dwarf planet and its largest moon, Charon, but should also get a decent view of the smaller bodies - Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra – as well. All were discovered by Hubble after New Horizons launched from Earth in 2006. Nix and Hydra are the bigger of the quartet at about 50km in their longest dimension. And that is actually one of the keys to the observed behaviour. These small satellites are very irregular in shape – more rugby ball and football. The Hubble scientists find that when you put this kind of object in the “lumpy” gravity field created by the dominant Pluto and Charon, you can get that object to tumble in unpredictable ways. This wobbling is evident to the space telescope from the way the light from Nix and Hydra changes over time. And although it is harder to see the much smaller Styx and Kerberos, it is assumed their behaviour is the same. All that said, the moons do seem to follow a surprisingly predictable pattern as they orbit Pluto and Charon. Three of them - Nix, Styx and Hydra - are locked together in resonance, meaning that their orbits follow a clockwork-like routine. If you were to stand on Nix, Styx would come around on the sky twice in the time it took Hydra to come around three times. Nix and Hydra are determined to be quite bright, akin to dirty snowballs. The surprise is Kerberos which orbits between them. It is really dark, not dissimilar to a charcoal briquette. This is strange. Theory holds that all the moons, including Charon, were formed from the debris that resulted when the early Pluto was struck by an object of near comparable size. "And if they all formed together, they all formed out of the same stuff. It is extremely hard to understand how one of them is a charcoal briquette and it’s orbiting between two snowballs," commented study co-author Douglas Hamilton, from the University of Maryland. Some answers should come with New Horizons. John Spencer, a mission scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, explained: "We’ll be taking pictures of Nix and Hydra that will be 50 to 100 pixels [across] - maybe bigger depending how bright they turn out to be. "So, we’ll see a lot of their surfaces. We’ll see if they have craters or fractures, or anything like that and we’ll get the composition of their surfaces." Styx and Kerberos, because of their longest dimensions are probably about 10km, will be harder to characterise. Nonetheless, whatever New Horizons learns at Pluto will be useful for those scientists that study even more distant realms, such as far-off double, or binary, stars, according to Heidi Hammel, of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy. Where you have two suns very close to each other, you may get unusual behaviours in any nearby orbiting planets. The Pluto-Charon system could therefore be analogous, she said, and the techniques used by Hubble in this investigation could soon be applied to the study of these more distant systems. "A planet that circles a binary star is called a circumbinary planet," she explained, "and perhaps the most famous circumbinary planet is not actually a real planet but rather a movie planet – Tatooine in Star Wars, the planet where the young Luke Skywalker encountered Obi Wan Kenobi and began his journey to become a Jedi Knight. "That’s a fictional circumbinary planet; we now know of at least 17 circumbinary planets, and several of those are in circumbinary systems – in other words, more than one planet revolving around the binary star." Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos About six separate blazes broke out at Altaghadherry, at about 13:00 BST on Sunday. Joe Canning and his family were eating dinner when they noticed clouds of smoke behind their property. "We smelled smoke and we closed the windows and it raged into an inferno thereafter. It's been burning ever since," he said. "It'll probably go on for days because there is no access to it. The fire department won't be able to get up near it, so it'll probably burn and burn until it does go out, until it rains." Mr Canning said he was not concerned for his own safety or that of his property, but was worried about the local wildlife. "There's a lot of wildlife around here, pheasants and badgers and foxes and young birds at this time of year," he said. The McLaren Formula 1 driver set an average of 231.300mph on his four-lap qualifying run, while New Zealander Scott Dixon took pole at 232.164mph. It was an impressive performance from the two-time F1 champion - he had not driven an IndyCar until this month. Alonso said he was "happy" but had been slightly delayed by an engine issue. "I think the car was better than yesterday," he said. "We had an over-boost problem (with the turbocharger) in the final corner, so the engine was like hitting the brakes and I lost a bit." The Spaniard said this cost him 0.3-0.4mph on his average, which equates to the difference between fifth and either second or third. Alonso, whose engine needed to be changed between final practice earlier on Sunday and qualifying, added on his Instagram account: "With everything that has happened today being among the top five is a dream. "Fifteen days ago I would never have thought about fighting for the pole. Thanks to the whole team. Now another week of learning and race next weekend." To put Alonso's performance into context, 1992 F1 world champion Nigel Mansell qualified eighth on his debut in 1993, in what was the Englishman's fourth IndyCar race after switching to the US-based series. Alonso's first taste of Indianapolis was in his 'rookie' test on 4 May. He is missing next weekend's Monaco Grand Prix to race at the speedway as part of his quest to win the so-called 'triple crown' of Monaco, which he has won twice, Indy and the Le Mans 24 Hours sportscar race. The 35-year-old Spaniard is directly behind two former F1 drivers on the grid. American Alexander Rossi, who had a brief career with the back-of-the-grid Caterham and Marussia teams, was third and Japan's Takuma Sato, who raced in 90 grands prix for the Jordan, BAR and Super Aguri teams, was fourth. American Ed Carpenter takes the middle slot on the three-car front row. Rossi won the Indy 500 from 11th on the grid last year, an illustration of the fact that qualifying positions are not of great importance in predicting race form at the so-called 'Brickyard'. That is because the set-up of the cars is changed significantly between qualifying and race to ensure drivers can run consistently in heavy traffic during a 500-mile race that is usually punctuated by several 'caution' periods in which drivers are restricted to reduced speeds behind a pace car. Alonso was consistently fast through the days of practice last week, whether running in qualifying or race trim. None of the British drivers in the field were in the 'fast nine'. Ed Jones was 11th on his debut, followed by Max Chilton in 15th, Jay Howard in 20th, Jack Harvey in 27th and Pippa Mann in 28th. Google said the cash deal was expected to be completed in the next few months. California-based Nest Labs was founded by two former Apple executives. It produces a thermostat capable of learning user behaviour and working out whether a building is occupied or not, using temperature, humidity, activity and light sensors. The firm will continue to be run by chief executive Tony Fadell and maintain its own distinct identity, Google said in a statement. "Nest's founders, Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, have built a tremendous team that we are excited to welcome into the Google family," said Google chief executive Larry Page. Mr Fadell was head of Apple's music division until he left the firm in 2008. He is known as the "father of the iPod" for his work on the first 18 generations of Apple's music player and was also involved in the hardware design of the original iPhone. Mr Fadell told the BBC that he first came into contact with Google in 2011 through a "chance meeting" with the firm's co-founder, Sergey Brin. He said he showed Mr Brin an early version of the Nest thermostat. He liked it and many Google staff members later installed it in their homes. "They've always been keen on what we were doing, because they thought we had a crazy idea and they love crazy ideas," Mr Fadell said. Google's purchase of Nest Labs follows its acquisition of military robot-maker Boston Dynamics last month and of human-gesture recognition start-up Flutter in October. The search giant did not release any details of those deals. The biggest deal in Google's history to date was its acquisition of mobile phone firm Motorola Mobility for $12.5bn in August 2011. Media playback is not supported on this device Should it be accepted as being part of the game or should rules be introduced to outlaw players from exhaling so loudly when they hit the ball that noise levels exceed 100 decibels? Grunting became topical again at Wimbledon when Belarusian Victoria Azarenka was forced to defend her on-court noises following a quarter-final loss to Serena Williams - and another 'shrieker', Maria Sharapova, is in semi-final action against Williams on Thursday. Tennis pundits have had their say and the subject has been heavily discussed on social media, but what is it all about? The definition of grunting is to "make a low inarticulate sound, typically to express effort or indicate assent". Some studies claim noise can be of psychological benefit but what are the reasons behind players making such a sound during matches? BBC tennis pundit Andrew Castle's verdict: "Young players are taught to grunt. It's built into their training, big exhalations help stabilise players' strokes." BBC tennis pundit and 1977 Wimbledon ladies' champion Virginia Wade's verdict: "Every player exhales to the point of grunting, you just have to do it and it is part of the game. Even when I play now I know I grunt a little bit." American nine-time Grand Slam winner Monica Seles was among the first women to be recognised for grunting in the nineties. She upset Jennifer Capriati numerous times by "screaming at the top of her lungs", with her compatriot claiming it was a "deliberate hindrance". More recently, Portuguese player Michelle Larcher de Brito was at the centre of rows during the French Open and Wimbledon in 2009. Russian world number four Sharapova has long been a grunter, but was quieter when she won Wimbledon in 2004. Her grunts have been recorded at an octave above the notes of a soprano singer, while Azarenka's have reached 105 decibels. Virginia Wade's verdict: "The thing that worries me is when you have the likes of Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova playing each other, then it can get extreme. "It's not just the women; the men also do it as we saw with Nick Kyrgios." It's hard to say, but former world number one Jimmy Connors was among the early male grunters, while eight-time Grand Slam winner and Andy Murray's former coach, Ivan Lendl, complained about Andre Agassi during the 1988 US Open. "When Agassi went for a big shot, his grunt was much louder, it threw off my timing," he said, hinting at gamesmanship. Virginia Wade's verdict: "I don't think anyone really grunted that much when I was playing. "Towards the latter half of my career, when things got more professional, it slowly crept into the game. You were almost taught to make sure you exhaled properly and coaches started to build it in to your game. "Frankly, the thing that worries me is the damage they will do to their vocal cords." Media playback is not supported on this device Azarenka was unhappy with questions put to her about grunting after her loss to Williams on Wednesday. "I'm so tired of these questions all the time," she said, pointing out that "Rafael Nadal grunts louder than me". "It happens in every sport," she added. "It is time to put it aside and not talk about it all the time because this is not what is important. Look at the good stuff. Stop bringing up this ridiculous stuff." Williams gave grunting questions similar short shrift: "I'm done with controversy. I can't, I'm tired, I have to do an ice bath. If you have any other questions, I'm cool, but I'm done with that." Nine-time Wimbledon women's champion Martina Navratilova wrote in the Sunday Times in 2009 that the timing of the grunt was crucial. She wrote: "It affected my game because to me it is important to hear the ball hit the racquet; you can hear a bad shot before you can see it and the sound is an imperative part of the game." Media playback is not supported on this device British number one Murray complained to the umpire about the noise generated by Argentine opponent Carlos Berlocq during a tour event in the United States two years ago. Murray felt Berlocq was turning his grunt on and off in a bid to unsettle him as it went from low to very loud. Nick Bollettieri, who coached both the Williams sisters and Sharapova, is not so sure about the benefits of grunting. "If grunting would win titles then everybody in the world would be grunting as loud as they can be," the 83-year-old American said. "You have to have talent as well." When the noisier grunters are playing, social media is also a place full of critical comments from the public. Andrew Castle's verdict: "There are definitely times when TV and radio viewers are concerned by the noise players are making. If people are pressing the mute button, rather than just going on Twitter to claim they are pressing mute, then we have an issue." In 2012, the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) said there was a need for an objective measure of when a player makes too much noise and suggested a decibel meter could be introduced. Three years later, no such innovation has materialised. The WTA told BBC Sport: "Umpires can act on grunting, but only if they decide a player falls foul of the hindrance rule. That states that a player will lose a point if they hinder their opponent's play 'with a deliberate act'." Rather than bringing in a decibel meter, the authorities want to tackle the issue through education, though they recognise players cannot be silent when they hit the ball hard. "We take this matter seriously and are working effectively to educate the next generation of players. Our goal is to drive excessive grunting out of the game, especially for the next generation of player," said the WTA. Virginia Wade's verdict: "If the authorities could control noise levels I'm sure they would, but I don't think you can actually pick on one player if that is the way they hit the ball. "Noise violations could come in, but it would be so subjective and would be impossible to consistently manage. Some stadiums sound louder than others, some matches are more intense than others - so I think that would be quite difficult. "The problem with rules is how do you enforce them properly? You get as many bad judgements as you get good ones." So it looks like we're stuck with noisy hitting for the time being. Just remember to bring your ear plugs next time. Additional reporting by BBC Sport's Paul Birch. Philip Chan, 62, was heading a team of divers who were removing sea creatures from the Underwater World attraction on Tuesday. The once-popular marine life park shut down earlier this year. Police said Mr Chan was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries. They are now investigating the "unnatural death". A police spokesman said the incident was the first of its kind in Singapore. More: What are the world's deadliest animals? An official statement from the Haw Par Corporation, which owns the park, described it as a "tragic accident". "Mr Chan was one of 10 staff who stayed on to care for the animals while suitable homes were being found," a spokesperson said, adding that the animal transfer programme has been suspended. "He was a veteran diver, aquarist and animal caregiver who had been caring for the aquatic animals since Underwater World's opening." Underwater World opened in May 1991 but closed last June after struggling to compete with similar aquarium attractions. It had faced criticism in the past for keeping rare pink dolphins, some of which had been taken from the wild. Its animals are being moved to an aquarium in China. Stingrays are commonly found in tropical waters. Their razor-sharp barbs, located at the end of their tails, are coated in toxic venom which they often use as a means to defend themselves when threatened. While the animals' stings are painful, they rarely attack humans. Wildlife conservation expert Steve Irwin was famously killed by a stingray in 2006 during a diving expedition off the Great Barrier Reef. He was struck in the chest by the stingray's barb. Ram Kaji Awale was at his brick factory when the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Kathmandu on 25 April, 2015. The 20-metre-high chimney of the brick kiln came down and the oven was completely destroyed. "We managed to save all but one worker from the oven on that day," Mr Awale says. More than 9,000 people died because of the quake that hit central Nepal and many old buildings were destroyed in Kathmandu, including nearly all of the brick kilns in the valley. After the disaster, Mr Awale decided to rebuild his brick kiln with improved technology. Traditional brick kilns run using old-style technology, with limited air passages in the oven. That means coal is not burnt efficiently, so that large amounts of soot and other polluting particles are emitted from the chimney. The new oven now has several air passages with fans installed in them so that there is plenty of air to burn the coal efficiently, creating significantly less polluting smoke. "The new technology has not only stopped sending out thick black smoke," says Mr Awale, pointing at the stack, which now billows whitish smoke. "It has also increased our brick production by 25%." Experts say the new design, known as zigzag technology, has been able to bring down pollution from the new brick kilns by around 60%. "When this brick kiln ran with the old technology, it emitted more than 700 micrograms per cubic metres of particulate matter and now it is around 200," says Bidhya Pradhan, an atmospheric scientist with the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), which helps brick kiln operators to switch over to cleaner technology. "And if they are really good at it, they can also increase their energy efficiency by 50%." A week of coverage by BBC News looking at ways to cut air pollution. Mr Awale says that more than the energy efficiency, it was the health factor that motivated him to make the change. "Of course, it requires huge investment - almost double to what the previous technology required - but I was prepared for it because it is for my own and others' health," he says proudly. "Everyone is happy about what I have done, our neighbours are also very happy about it." His neighbours certainly seem happy. "Before when we worked on our land like this, our hands were covered by black particles, same was the case with our feet when we went to our roof tops to dry clothes in the sun," says Ram Shova Bhandari, collecting vegetables from her kitchen garden just a hundred metres from the brick kiln. "Now we have no such problem, the number of people suffering from coughs and other respiratory diseases too has gone down." Workers in Mr Awale's brick kiln confirm that there are less soot particles coming out of the chimney but they say other issues remain. "For us, more than the smoke from the chimney, it is the dust from bricks that causes problems because we inhale it while collecting the bricks and that problem has not changed," one worker in the factory says. Despite cleaner air for residents around these factories, Kathmandu still remains one of the most polluted cities in the world. So far, only around 10 brick kilns in Kathmandu have adopted the new technology. That leaves around 90 brick kilns in Kathmandu valley that still use the old-style design. "The challenge is not just to bring the change in them," says Ms Pradhan of ICIMOD, pointing at another brick kiln chimney billowing thick black smoke a couple of hundred metres away. "There are also more than 800 brick kilns outside Kathmandu that still run with the old method. We need to roll out this new technology there as well." The technology exists to make a difference. The question is whether the other brick kiln owners will be convinced to update their kilns. While there are other significant sources of pollution in Kathmandu Valley, from vehicles to farm fires, there is a lot of construction still to be done in Kathmandu and nearby areas following the earthquake, so newer brick kilns could help build a cleaner future for the region. A total of more than £32m was spent on the campaign - with the Leave side funded by donations totalling £16.4m, outgunning the Remain side's £15.1m. The spending returns show that the Brexit battle was the most expensive referendum ever fought in British political history, said the watchdog. Lib Dem spending is also under review. The watchdog said invoices and receipts submitted by the two umbrella Leave and Remain campaigns appeared to be incomplete and they were seeking further details in relation to certain payments. While this was disappointing, it stressed that it was too early to say whether any offences had been committed. "Missing spending details undermine transparency and makes the returns harder for the public to understand," said Bob Posner, its director of political finance. "Where it appears campaigners have not fulfilled their legal obligations, we have begun and will continue to take action to deal with this." The watchdog has published details of all campaign spending in excess of £250,000 during last year's referendum battle. The figures show the rival Leave and Remain campaigns secured the majority of their funding through large donations of more than £7,500 each. The Electoral Commission has also launched a formal investigation into apparently missing documentation from the Lib Dems and late returns submitted by businessman Peter Harris, who campaigned against EU membership. It has also said it is examining possible discrepancies in paperwork submitted by the European Movement, Labour Leave, UKIP and Conservatives In. Some 500,000 documents containing medical information, including cancer test results, were mistakenly put in storage rather than being sent to the GP or filed in the patients' records. An investigation is under way, focusing on the estimated 2,500 patients who may have been adversely affected and need further medical checks. So far, no harm has been reported. The error occurred when a mail redirection company hired by the NHS failed to pass on documents that had either been incorrectly addressed or needed re-routing because the patient had moved to a new GP surgery. The company, NHS Shared Business Services, has expressed regret for the failings, which occurred between 2011 and 2016 in the East Midlands, the South West and north-east London. An NHS England spokesperson said: "A team including clinical experts has reviewed that old correspondence and it has now all been delivered wherever possible to the correct practice." Speaking in the House of Commons, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt confirmed that 2,000 of the higher risk cases had now been reassessed by doctors - at a cost of £2.2m - with no harm detected. The remaining 500 are still being assessed. He said it was "completely extraordinary" that so much data had gone missing unnoticed for so long. Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth described the "astonishing" failure as an "absolute scandal". "The news is heartbreaking for the families involved and it will be scarcely believable for these hospitals and GPs who are doing their best to deliver services despite the neglect of the government. We urgently need to know how this was allowed to happen, how many patients were involved and how many have been harmed, and whether patients remain at risk." Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt first disclosed the data error in July 2016, but, at that time, did not say how many primary care patients had been affected. Dr Richard Vautrey of the British Medical Association said the error would have meant some GPs were treating patients without all the relevant information that they needed. "That might mean repeat prescriptions, which would be unnecessary, as they have been taken before. And it might mean delay in diagnosis. If that happened it's at best an inconvenience to the patient, and at worst there's a risk of patient harm." Katherine Murphy of the Patients Association said the episode had the potential to be hugely damaging to patient care and trust. "Patients trust the NHS to look after their confidential information and this confidence is now eroded." Prof Helen Stokes-Lampard, chair of the Royal College of GPs, said: "Patient care and safety must always be the number one priority when awarding private companies contracts for any work in the health service. What we are seeing here is companies bidding for, and being awarded, contracts for work that is much more complex that they originally thought. "We must learn lessons from this - as we must learn from any errors - and ensure that any initiatives to increase efficiency in the NHS are undertaken with caution, and in the long term best interests of general practice, the wider NHS, and our patients." The helicopter was earlier said to have crashed north-east of the city, while the plane, carrying 200 passengers, landed safely at Damascus airport. As clashes continued across the country, opposition activists reported heavy casualties in an air attack on a petrol station in north-eastern Syria. At least 20 people died, they said. UK-based opposition activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said many more were wounded in the blast, in a village in Raqqa province. Another group, the Local Coordination Committees said warplanes had bombarded the petrol station near the village of Ain Issa. Seventy people wounded in the attack were taken to hospital in the town of Raqqa, it said. Initially, the Syrian Observatory group said rebels had shot down the helicopter in Douma to the north-east of Damascus, but that claim was not repeated elsewhere. The helicopter's rotor struck the tail of a Syrian Arab Airlines plane, Syrian official news agencies reported. All passengers on board the plane were unharmed, they said. The government has increasingly used helicopters and planes in its fight against the rebels and activists had reported clashes in the Douma area at the time. Last month, rebels said they shot down a helicopter on the outskirts of Damascus. Clashes were reported in several areas of the country on Thursday, including Damascus and the second city, Aleppo. Government forces are said to have overrun several districts in the south of Damascus where rebels have been holding out, the BBC's Jim Muir reports from neighbouring Lebanon. Syrian state TV said at least 100 "terrorists" were detained in the densely populated Yarmouk area, an unofficial Palestinian refugee settlement. In the Dutch administrative capital, The Hague, a group of financial experts, foreign diplomats and Syrian defectors is meeting to look for new economic ways of weakening Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's grip on power. The group, called the Friends of Syria, is discussing how to make sanctions on the Syrian government more effective and how to track down the Assad government's hidden financial assets. Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal at the meeting said that one of the problems was that not all countries implemented sanctions on Syria. Abdo Husameddin, a former Syrian oil minister who defected from the regime in March, has told the BBC President Assad's extended family may have billions of dollars hidden abroad. "They are talking about probably more than $10bn (£6.2bn). And there are some other faces in fact hidden beside the regime itself. So all of this money is not directly under the name of Assad himself, but by other names." On Wednesday, the foreign minister of Iran, Syria's close regional ally, held talks with President Assad, who told him that the attack his country is facing, is not just against Syria, but also against its alliance with Iran and Hezbollah. There was further heavy fighting in Damascus and in the northern city of Aleppo. Amnesty International warned that indiscriminate air and artillery strikes were causing a dramatic rise in civilian casualties in Idlib and Hama. The UN estimates that the conflict has left at least 20,000 people dead. Bomb attacks in Damascus and the largest city, Aleppo, have become increasingly frequent in recent months, with the authorities often blaming them on "armed terrorist gangs". In a bid to raise awareness about farm safety, Victor Chestnutt spoke about how he was badly injured by a Highland cow, a breed with long curved horns. She had recently calved when she attacked him during a TB test a number of years ago, Mr Chestnutt recalled. The animal was destroyed but the farmer kept the horns as a reminder of the need for caution. He has told the story as part of Farm Safety Week which is designed to reduce fatalities and injuries on farms. Six people were killed on farms in Northern Ireland in 2016 and there have already been a number of fatalities this year. The Health and Safety Executive says as many as 100 people a month in Northern Ireland require hospital treatment after accidents on farms. Mr Chestnutt, who is from Bushmills and is a deputy president of the union, said he had bought the Highland cow because a family member "liked the look of them". He knew she was "steamed up" that day but the speed with which she turned on him caught him by surprise, he said. He needed surgery for serious leg injuries after she gored him in a pen. "It did my confidence for some time," he recalled. "I was very fortunate - I could have been killed." "It really got to me that I had set my limits but she was still fit to get me." An experienced cattle breeder and handler, Mr Chestnutt has had three near misses with livestock. He said farmers needed to avoid complacency and be aware of the dangers. He also said effective cattle handling facilities could help prevent injuries. The Health and Safety Executive is organising a week of publicity around farm safety. Chief Executive Keith Morrison urged farmers to stop and think for a short time before undertaking any task. "We're not saying don't do things, we're saying manage the risk," he said. Most accidents happen as a result of falls, accidents involving machinery, livestock and slurry. A Ford Fiesta with the plate JH11 HAD was spotted driving in Newport and reported to authorities. The DVLA said it "slipped through the net" and it had withdrawn it, sending a replacement plate to the owner. Jihad literally means struggle or effort in Arabic, but in recent years the most common meaning has been holy war. The DVLA said the personalised plate was bought in October 2016 and was not picked up by the system designed to stop offensive registrations being released. A spokesman added: "We try to identify all combinations that may cause offence and on the rare occasion where potentially offensive numbers slip through the net, steps are taken to withdraw the number. "As soon as we became aware of this last week we withdrew it and would have then sent a replacement plate." Plates resembling jihad, specifically those starting with JE and ending HAD, are not available. Trish Vickers had terminal cancer and had put out an appeal to have Grannifer's Legacy printed. The 64-year-old lost her sight 11 years ago and wrote the book by hand, but 26 pages were blank as she did not realise her pen ran out of ink. A local firm was able to publish the book within two weeks, but the Charmouth resident died on Thursday. Ms Vickers wrote the novel over six years and did not use a computer or Braille to write the novel. She instead used a system of rubber bands and a clipboard to help guide the pen across the page. Forensic experts from Dorset Police were able to recreate the words from the missing pages by analysing the indentation made by the pen on the page. It was then given to Dorset-based publisher Magic Oxygen. A book would usually take about six months to publish, but editor Simon West made every effort to get the book published before Ms Vickers died. He said: "As soon as we met Trish we fell in love with her, but we soon realised that her condition was deteriorating and we needed to act fast. "Sadly she passed on Thursday morning, and the book arrived two hours after she died. "I'm absolutely elated we published the book within two weeks, and devastated that [Trish] was so cruelly taken before she could see the book." Grannifer's Legacy is about a woman called Jennifer who discovers a book written by her great-grandmother. It will be officially launched later at an awards ceremony in Lyme Regis, and part of any profits made will be donated to South West Talking Newspapers. A team of 60 inspectors visited the hospital in December and January and found improvements were needed in providing safe and responsive care. However, the report also found the trust provided services that were caring, effective and well led. The chief executive of the trust said progress was being made by staff. Fiona Dalton said: "We all have a lot to be proud of, but there is much we still need to do to reach our ultimate aim of ensuring every patient receives perfect care and treatment with us. "We know there is a long way to go, but we are making progress and, with the brilliant individuals and teams we have in place across the organisation, it is something we know is achievable." In September last year the parents of five-year-old patient Ashya King removed him from Southampton General Hospital. In response to that, the CQC report said: "The trust had independently reviewed its procedures, and had cooperated with others across health and social care, including the Local Child Safeguarding Board, to review the incident. "The safeguarding actions taken were deemed appropriate, but there were areas for improvement." The trust provides services at Southampton General Hospital, the Princess Anne Hospital and Countess Mountbatten House, and outpatient services at the Royal South Hants Hospital. They called for protests against what they termed UN support of "aggression". The Houthis have made rapid advances across the country, sparking air strikes on their strongholds by a Saudi-led coalition. The UN says at least 736 people have been killed and 2,700 injured since 26 March, but officials believe the actual death toll may be far higher. The Houthis' Supreme Revolutionary Committee "called on the masses of the Yemeni people to rally and protest on Thursday to condemn the Security Council resolution in support of the aggression". Saudi Arabia's UN Ambassador, Abdallah al-Moualimi, said that the resolution was "a very clear endorsement" of the air strikes. When asked about a possible ground offensive, he warned that the air strikes were a response to Houthi military action and if the Houthis failed to comply with the resolution, "they will continue to face more of the same". The Egyptian presidency said on Tuesday that Egypt and Saudi Arabia had discussed holding a "major military manoeuvre" in Saudi Arabia with other Gulf states. The resolution targets rebel leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi and two other senior rebels, Abd al-Khaliq al-Houthi and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim. The sanctions also apply to key supporters, including former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his eldest son Ahmed, a former commander of the elite Republican Guard force. The embargo also applies to "those acting on their behalf or at their direction in Yemen" - effectively all rebel fighters and Saleh loyalists in the security forces. The resolution demanded that the Houthis withdraw from areas they have seized, including the capital Sanaa, and resume negotiations on the democratic transition begun in 2011 when Mr Saleh was forced to hand over power to Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi following mass protests. It was passed by 14 votes to nil. Russia, which had insisted on imposing an arms embargo on all parties, abstained. In a separate development, al-Qaeda in Yemen says its top cleric had been killed in a drone strike. Ibrahim al-Rubaish had a $5m (£3.4m) bounty on his head. There has been no confirmation of his death from Yemeni or US officials. Al-Rubaish was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2006, after which he joined al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which is also fighting the Houthis. Separately on Tuesday, the UN high commissioner for human rights called for an investigation into civilian casualties in Yemen. Zeid Raad al-Hussein said indiscriminate attacks on hospitals and schools could constitute war crimes, and called on all sides to avoid targeting residential areas. The union said the action was being taken over threatened job cuts, as well as disputes over working conditions and safety. It said talks aimed at resolving the issues had failed and staff had been instructed not to work any shifts between 00:01 and 23:59 BST on the day. Virgin Trains said it would be running a full timetable during the strike. Virgin Trains East Coast, which operates services between London, the North East and Scotland, said it was making changes to customer-facing roles which would "see a single person take responsibility for the customer experience on our trains". The RMT union claims the measures would lead to job cuts and impact on working conditions and safety measures which currently ensure a guard on every train. It said nearly 200 jobs were threatened by the cuts and remaining staff would be expected to cover the extra work. RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT will not sit back while nearly 200 members' jobs are under threat and while conditions and safety are put at risk by a franchise which is clearly in financial trouble. "We will also not tolerate the cavalier attitude to safety that is now on show as the company mobilises its scab army of managers." Workers on Virgin Trains East Coast had planned three 24-hour strikes for August after 84% of workers voted in favour of a walk-out. The industrial action was suspended after the RMT and Virgin Trains agreed to continue negotiations. Mr Cash added: "The union suspended an earlier programme of action when it looked like serious progress was being made in talks but that process has now failed to reach a satisfactory conclusion and we are back into industrial action as a result. "We have been shocked at the way the company have led us up the garden path when we entered talks in good faith." Virgin Trains said the changes would have "no impact" on safety and had assured the union there would be no compulsory redundancies. It announced it had a "detailed contingency plan" that meant it could operate a full timetable during the strike. David Horne, Virgin Trains East Coast managing director, said: "With our guarantees that there will be no compulsory redundancies, no impact on safety and a full timetable in place during the walk-outs, these strikes will cost RMT members pay for no reason, and we urge the union to rejoin us around the negotiating table." Some mortgage brokers and estate agents say that potential buyers could delay any purchase owing to the uncertainty that is likely to follow the result. There is less consensus on what the effect might be on the cost of mortgages and house prices. The share prices of house builders took a big hit in early trading following the result. Ahead of the vote, the UK Treasury said that over the next two years, house prices could end up being 10-18% lower compared with where they would have been had the vote been to remain. "When there is uncertainty it affects confidence and people put off making decisions. Those who were thinking about buying property may now decide to leave that decision to say next year, in the hope that property prices will fall in the meantime," said Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients. If the Treasury prediction is true, such a change would be good news for first-time buyers, but not for existing homeowners, particularly if they have bought recently. Predictions of how far the pound would fall have so far been an overestimate, so there is clearly a possibility that the change in house prices may be less dramatic. Any forecasts of property prices are notoriously difficult. How will Brexit affect your finances UK votes to leave the UK Where can I afford to live? Geography will also play a major part in any change - with the UK having a wide range of regional property markets. The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) previously estimated that house prices in London could see the biggest change. It said prices would be £7,500 lower on average over the next three years than they would have been had the vote been to remain. Elsewhere, it said house prices could see a slower rate of increase, rising by £2,300 less. All eyes will be on the Bank of England when it comes to assessing the cost of a mortgage. If inflation rises, the Bank of England may consider raising interest rates, making mortgages and loans more expensive to repay. During the campaign, the Treasury forecast a rise of between 0.7% and 1.1% in the cost of a mortgage. This would filter through to rental costs too. Any shock to the UK economy may lead the Bank of England to consider a cut in rates. In that case, the cost of lending could actually fall. David Tinsley, from Swiss bank UBS, said the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was expected to make interest rate cuts and extend its quantitative easing programme. "We expect the MPC will cut policy rates to zero and make further asset purchases, in the first instance of £50-75bn, not later than February 2017," he said. Bank of England governor Mark Carney made it clear in a speech that no quick decisions would be made. Mortgage brokers say that any change should be viewed in the context of historically low mortgage rates at present. "The banks and building societies still have incredibly low rates and mortgage acceptance criteria is better than it has been for years," said Aaron Strutt, of Trinity Financial mortgage brokers. "One of the biggest problems is confidence, particularly as we have political and economic instability. People still need houses to live in and while we have a functioning banking system they will have options." David Hollingworth, of London and Country mortgages, said: "Borrowers will be struggling to understand whether this [result] could mean an increase in base rate or whether it might precipitate a cut. "With sterling plunging the expectation will be for rising inflation which would typically lead to rising interest rates. However, fragility in the economy could well see the base rate held or even fall. "If funding costs for lenders were to rise then that could put upward pressure on mortgage rates whether base rate were to shift or not. The only certainty at the moment is that borrowers have a range of extremely competitive fixed rate deals on offer." In a draw that produced no all-Premier League ties, holders Manchester United will go to Blackburn Rovers, while top-flight leaders Chelsea also face a trip to a Championship club after drawing Wolves. Manchester City are away to Huddersfield, fifth in the Championship, and Fulham host Spurs, who are third in the Premier League. Top-flight Middlesbrough will welcome Oxford United to the Riverside Stadium, while League One side Millwall will host Derby, chasing a Championship play-off place, or Premier League champions Leicester. The fifth round represents the last-16 stage of the competition and all ties are scheduled to be played from 17-20 February. Burnley v Lincoln City Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United Sutton United v Arsenal Middlesbrough v Oxford United Wolverhampton Wanderers v Chelsea Huddersfield Town v Manchester City Millwall v Derby County/Leicester City Sutton United are 16th in the National League, English football's fifth tier, and play at Gander Green Lane, which has a 5,000 capacity - 55,000 less than Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. They have beaten League Two Cheltenham Town, League One AFC Wimbledon and Championship Leeds United to get this far. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, assistant manager Micky Stephens said: "I've had to come and sit down, I can't quite believe that. "I'm a lifelong Chelsea fan so I had my fingers crossed for that - but it can't be much better. "Craig Eastmond and Roarie Deacon have both been involved at Arsenal in their younger days and I've never seen them jump up and down as much. "It's a fantastic draw." Lincoln City, top of the National League, have beaten Championship Brighton and Ipswich in the past two rounds. Their match against Burnley will be their eighth in this season's FA Cup. "It's a great draw to pit our wits against Sean Dyche and hopefully something we'll learn a lot from," said manager Danny Cowley.

They have a bravery, they deserved to beat Ipswich and Brighton, they have a brilliant young management team - but I'm gutted they didn't get a home draw.

She was one of thousands of girls, aged eight to 12 years, who auditioned for the part. Film bosses were looking for an actress who could bring a 'haunted' character with 'inner strength and stillness' to life. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is due to be released in November 2016. Faith will be working alongside a star-studded cast, including Eddie Redmayne, who'll play Newt Scamander. Harry Potter is one of the most successful film franchises of all time. JK Rowling, the author of both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, is to make her screenwriting debut on the spin-off. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson all went on to become international stars after working on the films as kids. Rupert was given the part of Ron Weasley in the movies after taking part in open auditions. He heard about the opportunity on the Newsround website. Faith Wood-Blagrove will start working on the film later this month.

Medical Detection Dogs chief executive Dr Claire Guest was training dogs to detect other cancers, when she said one of them "started to warn her". She was subsequently found to have an early stage breast tumour. Now in remission, Dr Guest is training dogs to recognise the cancer from a breath sample, in the hope an electronic nose can be developed. Medical Detection Dogs is a charity that works with researchers, NHS Trusts and universities to train specialist dogs to detect the odour of human disease. The charity was started in 2004 after a letter from Dr John Church to medical journal The Lancet claimed dogs could detect bladder cancer. Dr Guest said stories of dogs finding their owners' cancer had been reported for a while. Read BBC Health's advice on what to do if you find a lump "We started to wonder that if dogs were finding it by chance then perhaps we could actually train dogs to do this reliably," said Dr Guest. The charity started to work with dogs, and they can now pick out cancer samples from control samples, but research has been mainly limited to bladder and prostate cancer. Dogs are now being taught to detect breast cancer from a breath tube, after an animal Dr Guest was training to detect other cancers started to warn her. "I was a bit bemused as to what she was doing, but I was subsequently found to have a very early stage breast tumour," she said. "It was very deep and had my dog Daisy not warned me, I was told it could have been very serious and life-threatening because by the time I felt the lump it would have been very advanced." Now in remission, the scientist has joined forces with her surgeon and other cancer specialists to search for the clinical proof that breast cancer can be "sniffed out". In particular, they are looking to see if dogs can recognise it reliably from a breath test. "There is a huge amount of potential for this work, not only in finding out where cancer is present but also in the development of an electronic nose in the future," said Dr Guest. "A dog is in fact a very, very specialist pattern recognition bi-sensor - but he has got a waggy tail. "He can tell us when something is there and when it's not and how quickly it disappears [when a sample is in contact with the air] and they can tell us how difficult it is to find. "If we can find out how the dog is doing it then we can make machines in the future that could screen our breath and our urine for cancer volatiles." This research is at a very early stage and the next step will be a clinical trial with samples from local hospitals. "We need to find out how reliably dogs can indicate this and also if they can reliably indicate early grade and stage, because that would be the key for survival," said Dr Guest. Latest figures from Cancer Research UK show nearly 50,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK and just under 12,000 die. The hope is this research "has the potential to save thousands of lives". "All our work with cancer is incredibly exciting," added Dr Guest. "Everybody has a personal story [about cancer] and we know that anything that can assist in our fight against cancer is worthwhile, we know we can make a difference." This follows hot on the heels of the Omar al-Bashir controversy, and the trials of Oscar Pistorius and Shrien Dewani. Was the report a whitewash? Ferial Haffajee, editor of the weekend newspaper City Press, tweeted: "Sticking my neck out: I don't think 'whitewash' sticks." Many South Africans took to social media to condemn the report, especially its recommendations. They wanted to see a huge political figure, such as Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, take responsibility for his actions. At the time, Mr Ramaphosa was a shareholder in Lonmin, the owner of the Marikana mine. But President Zuma was reading the commission's recommendations. These were not his findings. Reports of this nature appear to be simple but they are full of legalese. A lot of the conclusions are left to interpretation or suggest another investigation. One can sympathise with the people who lost loved ones three years ago and are utterly frustrated by the idea of yet another inquiry. If an investigation is launched by prosecutors, the trial might drag for a very long time, meaning victims and relatives may never find closure. While the report apportions some fault to the unions who took part in the wildcat wage strike, much of the blame is aimed squarely at the police. Police Chief Riah Phiyega seems to be the highest-ranking person likely to take the hit. Some of her junior staff are vulnerable too, such as the regional police chief of the North West province, Lieutenant-General Zukiswa Mbombo. Just before police opened fire on the miners, Lt Gen Mbombo told the media: "Today is D-Day: we are ending this matter". Last month, she announced she was retiring. There does not seem to be any politician who is going to take responsibility for the killings of the 44. There is no way President Zuma could afford to let his trusted deputy Cyril Ramaphosa shoulder some of the blame because that would jeopardise the current leadership succession plan. If Mr Ramaphosa had to go to prison for sending emails asking the police minister to intervene at the mine during the violent wage strike, there would be a gaping hole in the post-Zuma ANC leadership line-up. Once the dust settles, we will see whether the police chief will voluntarily step down or if she leaves the man who appointed her no choice but to fire her. The sad part of this saga is that there are no talks of reparations for the miners who died and most of them were breadwinners. Northern Territory police had been "seriously concerned" for the group amid what meteorologists called a twice-a-century weather event. Four of the six were rescued by helicopter on Tuesday, while the remaining two were found on Wednesday. The Christmas storm drenched the usually dry region, causing flash floods and turning the soil into mud. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said the conditions were extremely rare, creating waterfalls all over Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, a site sacred to indigenous people at the heart of a famous Northern Territory national park. The six were travelling in two cars when they became stranded on the way from the remote community of Kiwirrkurra, Western Australia, to Kintore, in the Northern Territory. The pair rescued on Wednesday - a man, 30, and a woman, 27 - were trying to walk 28km (17 miles) from their car to Kintore, police said. Both were receiving medical treatment while the four others were safe and well. Police said earlier reports an infant was among the group were incorrect. "Many roads in the area remain impassable and police urge people to obey all signage regarding closed roads and to exercise extreme caution. If possible, please delay any travel in areas affected by floods," police said in a statement on Wednesday. The conditions of the roads meant police were forced to use helicopters to search the area, which has no mobile phone signal. Flash floods in Kintore - where more than 232mm (9in) of rain fell on Monday, more than double the record December rainfall - also forced the evacuation of dozens of residents. Northern Territory police told Australia's ABC Network that up to 25 houses were flooded in the town, near the border with Western Australia. Papunya, another town 250km from Alice Springs, was completely cut off, while the town square of Yulara - the nearest community to Uluru - was inundated. Meanwhile, a car carrying two tourists near Alice Springs was washed off a road into a flooded creek. Police, who initially believed three people were in the vehicle, said both were safe. Rangers closed the Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park at 09:00 local time on Boxing Day (23:30 GMT on Christmas Day), citing the risk of flooded roads and potential car accidents. Parks Australia said on Tuesday that they had reopened the park but urged people to drive carefully as there was still surface water on the roads. Uluru is a large sandstone rock in the outback sacred to the indigenous Anangu people, and one of Australia's top tourist attractions. But the Pars still slumped to second bottom place in the Championship. Allan Johnston's side have only managed two wins so far, against St Mirren and Dumbarton, which explains the position. But they really should have taken full points from a fiercely contested Fife derby as they were the more impressive side going forward. They certainly created the better of the few chances in a frantic first half lacking in composed football, but Farid El Alagui squandered the best of them in 39 minutes. Joe Cardle danced clear of two challenges in a central area before sliding a pass that left the former Hibs striker with only Kevin Cuthbert to beat, but the Rovers goalkeeper blocked the parting shot. Prior to that, strike partner Nicky Clark sliced a shot wide from the edge of the penalty area and, just before the interval, Cardle fired a drive past from 20 yards against a side lacking cohesion from middle to front. In fact it took a spectacular diving headed clearance by Iain Davidson from underneath his own crossbar to prevent Kallum Higginbotham's driven cross from finding the net in 56 minutes. It took an hour for the Kirkcaldy side to create a decent chance of their own after Mark Stewart broke clear on the right, but Ross Callachan was unable to convert the pullback from six yards. The Rovers midfielder shot wide of the goal with 15 minutes left after goalkeeper Sean Murdoch made a mistake when coming off his line in an attempt to clear. Overall, it was a typical derby clash and Rovers manager Gary Locke will be happy with the determination and commitment his players showed, especially the well-organised defence. He will be concerned about the lack of quality link-up play from middle to front, while his Dunfermline counterpart will feel that, if they can strike the right balance between attack and defence, things can turn for them. Dunfermline Athletic manager Allan Johnston: "It was the same at Dumbarton last week as we probably deserved the win but came away with just a point. "The positive thing is we defended a lot better and looked solid, but you have to give Raith Rovers credit for the way they defended. "Especially when Iain Davidson cleared from under his own bar in the second half as I don't know how he got that out. "You can see the quality we have got in some of our play and if we keep producing that then we will get more wins." Raith Rovers manager Gary Locke: "It was 100 miles an hour at times and the first half in particular was hectic. We created chances in the second half. "Over the piece, a draw is a fair result and Iain Davidson shows what the boys are all about as he's not a right back, but he's been outstanding there for the team. "Kevin McHattie also showed the character we are looking for as he got injured in the first half, but for us to be successful we need boys to put their bodies on the line and he did. "He got a deadleg early in the match, but he carried on for the full 90 minutes showing real determination, which is what we need." Match ends, Dunfermline Athletic 0, Raith Rovers 0.

There are no further details. Video footage emerged showing the woman clinging on to a window shouting: "I'm pregnant! Catch me if I fall!" A man, who was also trying to escape the shootings, helped her back up when it seems she grew too tired to hang on. Her friend tracked down the man on Twitter and put them in contact, he told the Huffington Post. A total of 89 people were killed and more than 100 injured when gunmen stormed the Bataclan concert hall during a concert by US band Eagles of Death Metal on Friday. The pregnant woman, who prefers to remain anonymous, could not thank her rescuer in the wake of the carnage at the Bataclan. So her friend, Frans-Alexandre Torreele, asked Twitter to help her find him: "Thanks Twitter," Mr Torreele tweeted on Monday. "This pregnant woman is well and she found her saviour through Twitter." "The man who helped my friend to climb in the window of the Bataclan was found," he said in another tweet. "The rest of the story belongs to them." Mr Torreele told the Huffington Post that he had spoken to his friend to make sure it was the right person. "She was saved thanks to a succession of small gestures, a little bit of attention, and, in this moment of total craziness, these minuscule gestures accomplished big things," Mr Torreele said. "That's what my friend wants people to know. It's hard to imagine how merely holding out a hand, or putting a hand on a shoulder can save people. These people should thank each other, should hold each other in their arms." The rescuer, a Frenchman known only as Sebastien, told French radio he was able to rescue her "by chance". He had sought refuge from the hostage-takers through an emergency exit next to the stage, which led to a corridor, but realised there was no way through, only two windows, too far up to be able to jump from. He found refuge in a ventilation shaft with his legs dangling on the outside of the building, about 15 metres above ground. This is where he saw the pregnant woman hanging from the other window and who was calling down towards passers-by fleeing below her to catch her as she was going to jump. But no-one was stopping because of all the shooting going on, he said. "At one point, she said she was going to let go. In that case, you cannot watch someone die in front of your eyes, there had been too many already." So he went back to the corridor and helped her up. He said he found out on Monday that she was alive, and that they were due to speak to each other on Tuesday. Sebastien said they had gone in separate directions soon afterwards, but five minutes later he had felt the barrel of a Kalashnikov against his leg. He was held captive for some time, but says he managed to escape when police stormed the Bataclan. A series of attacks in the hall, a stadium, restaurants and bars across Paris on Friday at least 129 dead and 350 wounded. The Roses led 17-7 after a brilliant first quarter, and extended their advantage to lead 32-20 at half-time. England, who lost 66-49 at London's Copper Box Arena on Tuesday, ended a dominant third quarter 47-32 up. Jamaica never seemed likely to threaten, and England secured an impressive victory, setting up a decider in Coventry on Sunday. He said the moves were the "biggest changes to pensions in 100 years". People aged 55 and over will be given new powers to decide what to do with their retirement savings. From Easter Monday, they can cash in Defined Contribution (DC) pension savings. But there have been warnings about potentially big tax bills. Mr Osborne told Sky's Murnaghan programme: "What it means is that people who have worked hard and saved hard can have access to their pensions savings." He also urged people to make use of the government's guidance scheme. The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) will run the Pension Wise guidance service for those approaching retirement. Pension changes 2015 Pension savers will no longer be required to use their pension pot to buy an annuity when they approach retirement. Some 540,000 people will be able to take control of their savings from 6 April, according to the government. But the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has said many people face paying tens of thousands of pounds in income tax if they cash in their pensions pots. But the Treasury says they have consistently stated that 25% of people's pensions is tax free and the rest is taxed at the marginal rate. There have also been concerns that some people may by hit by pension scams, or run out of money too early. Labour have welcomed the new pension flexibilities, but say they have repeatedly warned that the government has not thought through the risks of "rip-off charges" being taken from people's savings. "That's why we welcomed the announcement by David Blake's Independent Review of Retirement Income that they are studying the case for a new charge cap on pension products offered to savers by their pension provider to replace annuities," said a Labour spokesman.

Up to 145,000 homes in Aberdeenshire, Angus, Ayrshire, Argyll and Bute, the Highlands and Shetland will have the chance to access faster connections. The roll-out is part of the £410m Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme. So far more than 3,400 km of fibre cable has been laid across the country. Customers signing up to fibre broadband should be able to access download speeds of up to 80 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps. Programme director Sara Budge said: "It is great to be celebrating the first year of deployment of the £410m Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme, while announcing that more exchanges will be included, with areas such as Portpatrick in the south of Scotland and as far north as Voe in the Shetland Islands being able to connect to fibre broadband for the first time. "The project is developing a high-speed fibre network which is changing the face of broadband. "By reaching out to those who would not have been covered through the commercial market - in towns and into some of our most rural areas - we are ensuring that the connections which are made will bring many benefits to the Scottish people at home and in business." Brendan Dick, director of BT Scotland, said: "The roll-out of fibre broadband across Scotland is one of the biggest and most complex civil engineering projects taking place in the UK today and we're proud to be at the heart of it." The 41 pupils and seven staff from Arthur Terry School, Sutton Coldfield, were kept "safe and well" and were with a British Embassy member, the school said. The children were at Istanbul Ataturk airport where they were due to get a connecting flight to South Africa. The school said the staff and children were now on their way to Cape Town. A statement said the students were "delighted" to be carrying on with the trip, and were flying overnight on Sunday. The Foreign Office has said that the situation in Turkey now "appears to be calming". The children left for the Turkish Airlines flight on Friday morning for the two-week trip. Head teachers Neil Warner and Richard Gill thanked parents for their "tremendous support". A statement said: "It's great to know that many of you have had direct contact with your sons/daughters and know that they are safe, well cared for and in good spirits." Andrew Mitchell, Conservative MP for Sutton Coldfield, has been speaking to the teachers, including one of the trip leaders, Sue Bailey. He said it had been a "very scary and unpleasant experience" for the group. "Parents were naturally extremely concerned," he said. The school was able to quickly pass on information to re-assure them, he added. Mr Mitchell said the children had been fed and been able to sleep at the airport. Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines said "upon the call" of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, its operations at Ataturk airport were "back to normal and flights have begun". The senior school said earlier the students were accompanied by "seven outstanding and experienced members of staff", including the assistant head teacher. One mother appealed on Twitter for the Foreign Office, Turkish Airlines and media outlets to "please get our children out of Ataturk airport". In South Africa, the group are planning to drive to a outward bound centre in Sedgefield on the Western Cape, where they are due to take part in community projects, working in two schools. Information about the trip said it would provide a "real insight into a totally different culture and way of life". The students raised funds for their trip through events such as a fun run and raffle. Turkey's PM Binali Yildirim said some 2,839 soldiers, including high-ranking officers, have been arrested over the attempted coup Elizabeth Needs had been ordered to pay back £1,200 pounds she had stolen from Bunty Farrand while the octogenarian was having her leg amputated. Perth Sheriff Court was told that Needs had failed to pay back the stolen money and had bought the vehicle instead. The case was deferred for the 61-year-old to seek legal advice. Sheriff William Wood had ordered Needs to pay compensation in December 2014. She was charged with stealing £2,800 from her former friend, but admitted taking £1,200 between February and March 2013 after the Crown accepted she had spent a large sum redecorating Miss Farrand's living room. Needs befriended her victim while her father lived next door to Miss Farrand in Blairgowrie. She told the court: "I forgot all about it. I just don't have the money because I have had to buy stuff for myself. "I have also got a heart condition now. I have had to buy myself a scooter so I can get about more than what I am. "Without a scooter I would have to stay indoors all the time. They are not cheap things to buy." Sheriff Wood told Needs: "What about the money you took from your victim? "Are you going to pay it? The alternative is prison." She replied: "I might get better health in there. I can't get near my own doctor." Both parties plan to raise the NMW significantly if they are elected. The IFS said at some point higher wages would hit employment, penalising workers who are supposed to benefit from higher pay. Labour said its plan would increase living standards, while the Tories declined to comment. A Labour spokesperson said: "Labour's £10 an hour minimum wage is in line with reputable forecasts of the wage needed to maintain a decent standard of living by 2020 and put an end to poverty pay." Some Conservative MPs have said higher pay for workers is also good for businesses. In its report, the IFS said increased wages for lower-paid workers has to be paid for by reduced profits, higher prices or lower earnings for the better-off. "Crucially, there must also be a point beyond which higher minimum wages have substantial impacts on employment," it said. There may be a case for gradual increases in the minimum wage, it argued, "but increases on the scale, and at the speed being proposed, create big risks". Although the Conservative manifesto has not yet been published, the party's existing plan is to increase what it calls the National Living Wage (NLW) from £7.50 to as much as £9 an hour by 2020. Those between the age of 18 and 24 qualify for the NMW, while those over 25 qualify for the higher NLW. When he was chancellor, George Osborne said the level should reach £9 an hour by 2020. However the Office for Budget Responsibility has estimated the figure will be £8.75, as the increase is linked to average earnings. Labour plans to increase the NMW to £10 an hour by 2020. It also wants to extend that rate to all those between the ages of 18 and 25, except for those on the apprentice rate. Currently those between 18 and 20 years old earn a minimum of £5.60 an hour, while those between 21 and 24 earn a minimum of £7.05. The IFS calculates that both Labour and Conservatives are planning for a "dramatic" increase in the number of workers affected by the minimum wage. Just 8% of those over 25 are paid the National Living Wage. Under the Conservatives, this would rise to 12% by 2020. Under Labour, it would be 22%. That is roughly comparable with what happens in France, which has the highest such level among OECD countries. The IFS says both Labour and the Conservatives are moving away from the current arrangements, under which the Low Pay Commission recommends an appropriate level for the NMW. When making its recommendation, it considers the effect on jobs. Labrador retriever Toffee was spotted waiting under a hedge near his owner's house on Wednesday evening about two miles from where he went missing. He was last seen at Oxford railway station on Monday and missing dog service DogLost launched an appeal. Owner Ian Francis said: "I am over the moon. He walked in through the door as if nothing had happened." It was thought Toffee, who is being trained as a cardiac alert dog for Mr Francis, had either got on a train or was still in the area of the station. Mr Francis, who is registered blind and also has heart problems, said: "I just put some food out for him and left the front door open and in he came. "He looked at me, wagged his tail and lay down on his bed." A glossy ibis was spotted at the ruined Ormiclate Castle on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides on Saturday. The bird has the body of a curlew and the legs of a flamingo and gets its name from the iridescent sheen on its wings. It has become a regular winter visitor to the south of England, with young birds appearing in flocks from Spain. The sighting comes a few days after a little swift was spotted in Scotland for only the fourth recorded time. The bird was discovered at Thortonloch, near Dunbar in East Lothian, on Hogmanay. The little swift, whose scientific name is apus affinis, breeds from Africa eastwards through southern tropical Asia to western Indonesia. Travis Smith, 24, strangled Danny Wallis, 29, at his flat in Clarence Row, Gravesend, on 30 May. He was arrested by police on their way to the scene the following evening after he phoned South East Coast Ambulance to report the body. Smith, of Singwell Road, Gravesend, was convicted at Canterbury Crown Court after a 12-day trial. Kent Police said he had claimed to acquaintances he killed his victim by accident during a fight. Mr Wallis died from compression of the neck but had a number of other injuries, including two black eyes and cuts and bruising, police said. The court was told detectives discovered Smith had made threats to kill his victim in the days leading up to the murder. He later confessed to acquaintances he was responsible for the death but claimed he had been threatened with a knife and was acting in self-defence. Smith was jailed for life and told he must serve at least 18 years before being considered for parole. Following the trial Mr Wallis's family said: "No amount of justice will bring our son back. "He was kind and loyal and is greatly missed by all the family." Corrie McKeague, based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, was last seen in Bury St Edmunds following a night out. CCTV images show the 23-year-old, believed to be from Dunfermline, Fife, walking through the streets of the town after he left friends. Police said his disappearance was "out of character". Mr McKeague was last seen in Brentgovel Street at about 03:20 BST. He was reported missing to police on Monday afternoon. Specialist search officers have been out in the area between Honington and Bury St Edmunds since his disappearance. The National Police Air Service helicopter and Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue have been assisting with the search. A Suffolk Police spokesman said: "Since the missing report police have made numerous inquiries. "This has included talking with friends and family, checking with local taxi firms and working to identify CCTV that may help piece together which direction he went in from Brentgovel Street. "As time passes police are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare." CCTV footage from Bury St Edmunds shows he briefly slept in a doorway before getting up and moving away. Police believe he may have intended to walk home to the base at RAF Honington. He is described as white, 5ft 10ins, of medium build, with short light brown hair. He was wearing a light pink shirt and white jeans or trousers at the time he was last seen. However the total amount owed continued to rise, reaching £1,621bn. That amounts to 84% of the value generated by the UK economy - otherwise known as gross domestic product (GDP). The measurement, which includes some forecasting, does not reflect the impact of the Brexit vote on 23 June. The monthly borrowing figure for June was £7.8bn By Andy Verity, economics correspondent The government continues to spend more than its income - as it has done every year since 2002. For the month of June, though, the overspend - also known as the Budget deficit - was less than expected. As a result the amount the government had to borrow to plug the gap dropped to £7.8bn - a lot lower than the £9.3bn economists had expected. The new chancellor, Philip Hammond, seized on the news as reassuring evidence of the underlying strength of the economy: "Ahead of the referendum monthly borrowing continued to fall, with the deficit in June the lowest it has been since 2007," he said. "As our economy now adjusts to reflect the referendum decision it is clear we will do so from a position of economic strength." The figures only cover one week of our new, post-Brexit economy. But the Bank of England, IMF and others said before the referendum that the economy was already slowing down because of uncertainty ahead of the vote. In the first three months of the financial year, the income central government gets from taxes was up 3.3%. From VAT to income tax, receipts were up, with notable increases in stamp duty, up 15%, and national insurance, up 8.6%. The research firm Capital Economics points out that while borrowing fell more than economists expected, it was still down just 8.3%. At the last Budget, the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast it would fall by as much as a quarter. So the government is off course to hit the previous chancellor's goal for the year of borrowing no more than £55bn. With income from tax receipts rising quickly, the puzzle becomes why the gap between income and spending isn't closing faster. The answer, of course, is that spending is not actually being cut. Spending by central government departments is down in the first three months of the year by 0.5% - partly because of lower contributions to the EU. And the government saved £100m because it is even cheaper for it to borrow money and service debt than it was last year. But that was more than offset by increases in spending on welfare, notably, state pension payments, and capital expenditure. Conservatives are putting Jeremy Corbyn at the centre of their Copeland by-election campaign. His image is all over Tory leaflets, and their logic is very simple. Copeland relies on the nuclear industry and Jeremy Corbyn has opposed new nuclear power stations. It means that when a by-election date is set, the contest in Cumbria could reveal a lot about how national politics will play out in the coming months. Tories will highlight an issue that divides Mr Corbyn and his colleagues. But amid a huge local row about hospitals, Labour may discover how much damage troubles in the NHS have done to the Conservatives. Chat to voters in the constituency and you hear two concerns: jobs and healthcare. In the butcher's in Whitehaven, one customer, Geoffrey Boyle, says: "This spot's dead enough already. There's hardly any life around here now. If nuclear goes, this town will be dead." The economy revolves around Sellafield, and job numbers are set to fall there as reprocessing work ends. A new nuclear power station is proposed. Labour backs new nuclear energy, and local politicians certainly do. But Mr Corbyn has made plain in the past that he disagrees. A policy document for his leadership campaign in 2015 says plainly: "I am opposed to fracking and to new nuclear on the basis of the dangers posed to our ecosystems." In a 2011 speech in the wake of the Fukushima disaster he went further, suggesting existing nuclear power stations should be decommissioned. Sources close to Mr Corbyn say he no longer believes that's practical but Tories campaigning in Copeland have seized on his words. Councillor, local Labour party secretary and would-be candidate Gillian Troughton says: "Jeremy Corbyn is not the entire Labour party and Labour policy is for the green, low-carbon energy policy of which nuclear power is a key part." UKIP, which came third here at the last election, boasts that it can take Labour votes. Fiona Mills - who has been UKIP's candidate in Carlisle - is hoping to contest Copeland. She says: "When I stood in the general election I definitely took voters away from Labour because people told me that." But while people here are worried about nuclear jobs, many are furious about healthcare. There is a proposal to move services, including a consultant-led maternity unit, from the hospital in Whitehaven 40 miles down a slow, twisting road to Carlisle. Michelle, who works in the butcher's, says: "Why don't we stick a fellow in the back of an ambulance whose making these decisions and stick a monitor on him that creates the pain the same as labour and see how he feels about that?" Labour's message is that only it will care for the local NHS. Conservative councillor Kevin Beaty says what happens to the hospital is a decision for the local NHS and blames "a PFI in the north set up under the last Labour government that is really difficult from a financial point of view for them". But with a decision about the hospital due in March, potentially before a by-election date, it's a clear and present danger to Tory hopes. If the Conservatives win, it will be the first time since 1982 the governing party has gained a seat in a by-election. Should that happen, Jamie Reed - the departing Labour MP - will in prompting the contest have done deeper damage to Mr Corbyn than he ever managed in many months criticising his leader. If Labour fails here blame will be piled deep at the door of the party leader. Yet speculation about an electoral upset has raised Tory expectations in a patch that has been Labour since 1935. Merely holding on to a seat that even Margaret Thatcher couldn't seize could yet wind up feeling like a win for Labour. If it's successful, a Labour strategy of responding to relentless attacks on Mr Corbyn with an equally relentless focus on the NHS may provide a model for the opposition in the years ahead. 2015 Copeland General Election result US District Judge Richard Gergel said 22-year-old Dylann Roof's wish to be his own lawyer was "unwise", but nevertheless granted his request. The surprise development came just as jury selection was set to begin. Last week Mr Roof was deemed competent to stand trial in the shooting of nine Charleston parishioners in June 2015. Wearing a grey jail-issue jumpsuit, he was sitting on Monday morning at his defence table after his lawyers moved to the side. Judge Gergel told the court: "I do find defendant has the personal capacity to self-representation." Addressing Mr Roof, he said: "I continue to believe it is strategically unwise (to represent yourself), but it is a decision you have the right to make." Mr Roof smiled slightly and replied quietly: "yes, sir." Acting as his own lawyer, Mr Roof could end up questioning family members of the victims and survivors in court. His decision to represent himself comes months after he offered to plead guilty if prosecutors took the death penalty off the table. From Monday, 516 potential jurors will be questioned individually by the judge; 12 will ultimately be selected to decide his fate. As the judge began questioning potential jurors - the first 10 of whom were white - Mr Roof did not ask questions or make any objections. Serial killer Ted Bundy, Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammed and Fort Hood attacker Nidal Hasan also acted as their own lawyers, but ended up with death sentences. Mr Roof faces 33 federal charges, including a hate crime count. He has already been found competent in a state court, where he faces nine counts of murder, and prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. One juror was struck from the final panel by the judge after expressing reluctance to enforce the death penalty. "You are playing little bit of God in there. That's what makes me hesitant," the female juror told Judge Gergel. The judge also dismissed a male juror after he said he believed that all murderers should receive the death penalty if they are deemed sane to stand trial, the Post and Courier reported. Federal prosecutors claim the mass shooting on a Bible study class at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston was racially motivated. Mr Roof allegedly spared three people in the attack so they could tell authorities the shootings were because he hated black people. Photos emerged online in the aftermath of Mr Roof holding the Confederate battle flag, sparking a backlash against the emblem, which critics see as a symbol of slavery. Paul Morris was remanded in custody at Walsall Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. He is accused of possessing a shotgun without a certificate as well as five charges relating to ammunition. The 47-year-old, of Station Street, Bloxwich, was arrested on Friday in an operation that led to the evacuation of two nearby homes and part of a police station. They said the homes were evacuated during a search of his property "on the orders of army bomb disposal experts". Mr Morris is due to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 19 February. The full charges are possessing a shotgun without a certificate; possessing prohibited armour piercing ammunition, hollow-point ammunition, expanding ammunition and possessing ammunition for a firearm without a certificate. Her fans may have noticed a sci-fi inspired theme in her recent performances and music, but now she wants to go a step further. The performer has no interest in giving up singing - which she describes as her "lifeblood" - but said it was important to "keep educating yourself". She was speaking to BBC Wales at the launch of its new music talent scheme. "I want to go and do a degree in physics - I will have to do an A-level in physics and maths first though," she said. "I just think it's important to keep the brain active and keep educating yourself. "I have an interest in it and I should try to follow it. It's something I've been interested in for the last year or two." She said much of her interest had been sparked by sound engineer and producer Gethin John. "He was always explaining different theories and I became interested in it through him and started buying New Scientist and geeking out about it all!" she said. "Why not?" Her performance in school before her musical career took over certainly bodes well. She had a string of top grade GCSEs from Howell's School in Cardiff - including an A* in music, French and history, and As in geography, maths, English literature and English language. And an interest in science is not unknown in the music industry with Professor Brian Cox swapping life in the band D:Ream to further pursue his love of physics. He is not only an academic but is well known as a presenter of several science programmes for the BBC. For now, Church is pressing ahead with her new music. She has just released the fourth of a series of five EPs, and sported a sci-fi-inspired look when performing the new tracks at a colourful show earlier this month. The show was called Entanglement, after the EP's main track and the scientific theory that inspired it. Church has no plans of giving up her singing career despite the work a degree would entail. "Music is in my veins so I'm going to have to carry on - it's my lifeblood which is brilliant," she said. She spoke of her interest in physics while backing the Horizons music talent scheme which looks for 12 new artists in Wales to support over the next year. BBC Wales and the Arts Council of Wales aim to "showcase the most exciting unsigned acts with the potential to make a real breakthrough in Wales and beyond". The acts will be picked by a panel of music industry and radio music experts. The Markinch-based company went into administration on Monday with the loss of 325 jobs. Despite being 70% employee-owned, staff were given no warning about the situation. A Scottish government taskforce was also due to meet to discuss what support it can give to the workforce. About 150 workers are being kept on in the short term to process existing orders. The news comes on the back of a wave of closures in Fife including Longannet power station and Velux. Former staff have been invited to a recruiting event in Markinch on 6 May. It has been organised by Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (Pace), the Scottish government's initiative for responding to redundancy situations. It will feature about 20 exhibitors including a mix of support agencies, training providers and employers who are looking to take on staff. The taskforce has been set up by the Scottish government and Fife Council with funds of £6m. Business minister Fergus Ewing said the potential impact to the wider community "cannot be underestimated". "Pace is a successful initiative which has helped many facing redundancy in the past and I am confident that next week's event will go some way to assist those who have been dealt this devastating blow," he said. "We will bring support agencies, training providers and employers who are interested in recruiting together to help Tullis Russell staff back into employment. "The taskforce, co-chaired by the deputy first minister and leader of Fife Council, will meet for the first time to agree next steps and determine the focus and priority of the £6m spend as part of the wider economic support for this community and the Fife economy." The 24th film in the spy franchise, which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as 007, earned $73m (£48.5m) between Friday and Sunday, according to early estimates. But the film failed to beat the performance of the last Bond movie Skyfall, which took $88.4m in 2012. The lower figure was partly due to this weekend's release of The Peanuts Movie. The family-friendly adaptation of the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, featuring Charlie Brown and Snoopy, took $45m (£29.9m). Spectre still had the second-biggest opening weekend for a Bond film in the US and Canada. "We never expected [Spectre] to open to the level of Skyfall," Rory Bruer, Sony's president of worldwide distribution, said. "It was a very different scenario. The competition was different, the weekend was different. One thing I am certain of is that the Bond franchise is as healthy and strong as ever." The rest of the top five was made up of previous releases The Martian, family horror Goosebumps and Tom Hanks film Bridge of Spies. Three films hoping to score success this awards season also opened in limited release across five cinemas. They included Spotlight, about the Boston Globe's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, which took $302,276 (£200,700). Saoirse Ronan's 1950s-set immigrant story Brooklyn made $181,000 (£120,200), while Bryan Cranston biopic Trumbo took $77,229 (£51,300). The artist, known for his paintings of the industrial North East, lived at the house at 33 Bishop's Close Street, Spennymoor, both as a child and later with his wife and children. Now the 1950s house is to be replicated at Beamish Museum's new £17m 1950s town and farm, along with Cornish's studio. The museum said it was "honoured" to be recreating pieces of history. Cornish started working in the mines when he was 14, but he was also sketching and painting and attended the Pitman's Academy for artists at the Spennymoor Settlement. He left the pits in 1966 due to a back condition and became a full-time artist. The Cornish family lived in Bishop's Close Street until 1967 when they moved to Whitworth Terrace in Spennymoor where they lived for the rest of their lives. The museum said the replica building would tell the story of the painter and his family, as well as life in the town and the Spennymoor Settlement. The settlement was set up in 1930, giving mining families access to the arts and Cornish was one of its most famous students. It became known as the Pitman's Academy because its clubs nurtured the talents of people such as writer Sid Chaplin and artist Tom McGuinness. Before his death at the age of 94 in August 2014, Cornish arranged for the contents of his studio, including some unfinished work, and some furniture from his home to be donated to the museum. The collection includes almost 100 unfinished paintings, dozens of sketches and Mr Cornish's chair and paint-stained carpet. Remaking Beamish project officer Lisa Peacock, said: "We're delighted to be sharing the story of Norman Cornish and the Spennymoor Settlement in our planned 1950s Town. "We're honoured to have received these amazing pieces of history from the studio and home of Norman, who so skilfully captured everyday life in the North East." He will become professor of the arts at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Sir Andrew said: "I feel I'm spending roughly half my time hiding in plain sight because I used to be something. "And the other half of the time I feel still so hard pressed to the national bosom that I'm suffocating. So I'd quite like to go and live in America." Sir Andrew, who was poet laureate between 1999-2009, was the first to retire rather than keep the title until death. He will also stand down as president of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, for which he has campaigned about issues such as litter, wind farms and building on the green belt. Speaking at the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester, he told an audience his new job is "amazingly interesting". He said: "In a nutshell, I'm 62, I love England, so I'm not going in a snarly way at all, but I sort of figure I know what's going to happen, more or less, if I stay here for the next 10 years. "And I think I would rather go somewhere where I don't quite know what's going to happen." Sir Andrew's successor as poet laureate was Carol Ann Duffy, who has been criticised by some in the press for not composing a poem to mark the birth of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. Speaking about his time in the post, Sir Andrew said: "I'm not going to say this in a disrespectful way, but I did spend 10 years feeling quite often that I was being asked to write about things which I had no strong feeling about. And that's not easy. "And I don't mean any disrespect. I signed up to do it, I was pleased to do it, [and] honoured to do it." He will move to Baltimore in July. Quoting TS Eliot, he said: "Old men should be explorers... That's what I think." He will follow the path taken by British synthpop pioneer Thomas Dolby, who was made Johns Hopkins University's first Homewood Professor of the Arts last year. Sir Andrew said he had watched recent unrest in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody "very interestedly and sympathetically". The city "did something amazing" by charging six police officers in relation to the man's death, he added. "[That] never happened in Ferguson, and never happened New York. So I sat watching that, thinking, 'Go Baltimore.' "Of course what happens next is incredibly important but they've started very well in this process of, I hope, putting it back together. So it's going to be very interesting." Sir Andrew was speaking at the Imperial War Museum North after the first public reading of a new poem inspired by the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Darren Beddis of Gutsy Goose restaurant in Cathays, Cardiff, was found guilty of three charges relating to licensing. Cardiff Magistrates' Court heard he had seven previous convictions for similar offences. He was fined £800 in June 2015 for illegally selling alcohol. A council spokeswoman said he "chose not apply for a licence after he was caught and has been caught again". In his defence, Beddis said he had sent a request for a transfer of the licence from the previous owner at the time but had not heard back from the council. He confirmed the restaurant was no longer selling alcohol and he did not intend to apply for a licence. Beddis was also ordered to pay £150 in costs and a £100 victim surcharge. The public body authorises spending by the NHS on expensive new treatments. In March it announced a new policy to hold back spending on new drugs that might cost more than £20m a year in any of their first three years of use. Now, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) will challenge this via a Judicial Review. The ABPI's chief executive, Mike Thompson, said: "These new arrangements will delay access to cost-effective medicines and deny treatments to patients suffering from rare diseases." "After many months of raising concerns with Nice, NHS England and the Department of Health and offering to work constructively on alternative proposals, we have applied to formally challenge these proposals in court," he said. "We hope that the government will reverse the changes and work with us to find a solution that works for everyone," he added. Are NHS patients getting the best medicines? NHS to introduce £20 cap on new drugs Nice said it had no comment to make yet on the threat of a legal challenge. But in April it explained that the point of the new system was not to place an absolute cap on spending on any new drug, but to stop new drugs suddenly hoovering up large chunks of the NHS budget to the detriment of other health services such as general practice or psychiatry. "When the impact on budgets is very high, it makes sense for special arrangements to be put in place so that the NHS can manage the introduction of new drugs in a way that doesn't impact unfairly on other services," Nice said at the time. The new system therefore allows for Nice and NHS England to negotiate with drug companies to persuade them to drop the cost of their new medicines if they look likely to breach the initial £20m-a-year limit. If agreement cannot be reached, then the use of the new medicine will be phased in by the NHS in England - potentially over three years - instead of being made universally available for doctors to prescribe within the normal 90 days of the drug's formal introduction. The ABPI said the new approach would affect one-in-five of all new approved medicines. The trade body described the way Nice assessed drugs for very rare diseases as "inappropriate and unworkable" and wants the policy reversed. They are produced in our atmosphere and in the cosmos's most violent processes, but the IceCube experiment has seen the first energetic "cosmic neutrinos". It detected 28 of the exceptionally fast-moving neutrinos - but it remains unclear exactly where they came from. The pioneering finds could herald an entirely new branch of astronomy. The results were presented on Wednesday at the IceCube Particle Astrophysics Symposium in Wisconsin, US. Researchers have gathered there to discuss the findings of the world's largest neutrino detector, occupying a cubic kilometre. It is made up of 86 strings sunk into the Antarctic ice, each with 60 sensitive light detectors strung along it like "fairy lights". As neutrinos pass, they very rarely bump into the nuclei of atoms in the ice, producing a brief flash that the detectors can catch. With more than 5,000 detectors catching flashes at different times, the direction of the neutrinos' arrival can be determined. IceCube is just one of a number of neutrino detection experiments around the globe. Low-energy neutrinos from the dying throes of a star were spotted by Japanese researchers in 1987 - the first-ever neutrinos from beyond our cosmic neighbourhood, leading to the 2002 Nobel Prize in physics. They can also be produced in the Sun and our own atmosphere here on Earth - IceCube picks up about 100,000 of those a year. However, previous attempts to associate higher-energy neutrinos with more far-flung cosmic processes, such as those described in April 2012, had turned up nothing. But in April this year, the IceCube collaboration reported seeing two neutrinos - nicknamed Bert and Ernie - of energies greater than a "petaelectronvolt". That is 150 times higher than the energy to which particles within the Large Hadron Collider can currently be accelerated. Now the team reports 26 more events, each higher than 50 teraelectronvolts (a twentieth of a petaelectronvolt), which they expect will also be of cosmic origin. But Francis Halzen, principal investigator on the IceCube experiment, said that "of course, there's much more to do". "It's after you find them that the work starts; these events are very difficult to analyse," Prof Halzen told BBC News. For centuries, stargazers have relied only on light of a wide range of wavelengths - many far beyond those we can see - to get pictures of the cosmos. But these first cosmic neutrino detections open the possibility for doing astronomy instead using particles - developing pictures of the Universe's most active corners by analysing the directions and energies of the neutrinos they produce. Prof Halzen recalled discussions with Frederick Reines, who shared the 1995 Nobel Prize in physics for first discovering the neutrino in the mid-1950s. "He would tell me that as soon as he discovered that the neutrino was real, everybody had the idea that you had a particle that you could do astronomy with. In 1960, several people wrote rather detailed papers on how to do it." Only later did it become clear that a detector as monumentally large as IceCube would be required to launch such a new era in astronomy - an era that for the first time seems to be taking shape. "It is incredibly exciting to work with the final IceCube configuration," Prof Halzen said. "It not only shows that we built the right detector, it promptly delivered results. What it means for astronomy is in our future, hopefully our very near future. The tools are in place and the first harvest of events is in." Special Report: The Technology of Business Mobile brightening Africa's future Can we 'green' our toxic buildings? War on waste helps businesses profit Is cloud business greener business? Car tech driving a greener future The costs of providing health services to ageing populations in developed economies are spiralling out of control, while resource depletion in developing economies is threatening the health of millions. The global healthcare bill is now thought to top $6.5 trillion (£3.9tn) a year. A key to more sustainable healthcare is encouraging people to take more control of their own health through the use of mobile and telehealth technologies, many experts and technology companies believe. Consultancy PwC says the European Union (EU) alone could save 99bn euros (£80bn; $135bn) by 2017 if it adopted more mobile health - or "m-health" - solutions. Efficiency gains from the better use of technology could allow 24 million more patients to be treated with the same number of doctors and healthcare facilities, the report concludes. And about 93bn euros could be added to the EU's economic output if 18 million people with - or at risk from - chronic disease were helped to extend their working lives, it says. The popularity of smartphones, wearable gadgets and apps that can measure and record exercise levels, heart rate and calories burned, proves that many people are prepared to pay for technology that may benefit their health, says Steven Dodsworth, chief executive of digital healthcare consultancy D Health. "Rather than producing expensive devices that are used in hospitals, we need technology products that people want, value and can afford," he says. "They should be sold in consumer electronics shops, High Street pharmacies and supermarkets." Samsung recently announced its latest wearable prototype health monitor - the Simband - as well as plans to develop a health data sharing platform, and many other technology companies are expanding into this lucrative space. Mobile gives people access to information they could not easily get before, with all the preventative potential that offers. For example, in Cameroon, West Africa, half the population lives in rural areas and there is only one doctor for every 5,000 inhabitants. But when it comes to mobile phones, half the population owns one. So network operator Orange Cameroon has recently set up a text message based teleconsulting service called My Healthline together with the country's Ministry of Health. This allows phone users to text anonymous questions about health issues, including HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases and contraception, to Cameroonian doctors and nurses, and to receive a confidential response within an hour. There are plenty of other similar m-health examples in developing economies around the world. Such relatively low-tech solutions can also be complemented by more sophisticated technologies. For instance, Ohio-based start-up HealthSpot has developed self-contained teleconsulting booths that can be installed in office buildings and shopping centres, reducing the need to travel to doctors' surgeries for minor ailments. HealthSpot's booths are equipped with high definition cameras, microphones and video screens so that patient and doctor can see and talk to each other. They also include a range of medical devices such as stethoscopes, thermometers and blood pressure cuffs. Patients can use these devices on themselves by following a doctor's instructions, and data from the devices is streamed to the doctor online. Prescriptions can be generated and sent electronically to the pharmacy, and the data is integrated securely with local health records. While the company is primarily rolling out the booths in the US - it recently announced a partnership with Cleveland Clinic - it envisages them being installed in communities around the world where local medical services are not available. One of the main problems with existing health systems is that they were set up to deal with acute cases primarily, yet many people - particularly in ageing populations - suffer from chronic conditions that need more frequent care. This puts greater stress on GP and hospital resources and leads to many unnecessary visits, with all the associated carbon emissions that entails. Teleconsultations make obvious sense, therefore. A study by the Academic Health Science Center in Canada found that 840 teleconsultations held over a six-month period resulted in a reduction of 185 tonnes of greenhouse gases, and that took into account the emissions associated with video conferencing energy consumption. Airedale NHS Foundation Trust in Yorkshire employs a teleconsultation system that uses standard video conferencing equipment to provide health services to 14,500 prison inmates. The system was originally intended to reduce the costs of escorting prisoners to medical appointments, but it is now used to provide 24-hour consultative care remotely to inmates in 20 prisons. This system has now been extended to care for chronically ill patients in their own homes or in nursing and residential care homes. As well as reducing the amount of journeys GPs have to make, it has also led to a 45% drop in hospital admissions from care homes using the system. In another example, technology services company Accenture helped set up a telehealth system called Teki in Spain's Basque region. Patients with chronic diseases, such as arthritis and diabetes, use a Microsoft Xbox game console to see and talk to their doctors and medical staff via their television screens. Patients can follow specific exercise regimes by copying animated avatars on the TV screen. As the Kinect tracks movement, the software can assess whether or not the patient is performing the exercise correctly and give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Patients can also send real-time diagnostic data using monitoring gadgets that slip easily on to an index finger. The data is encrypted and stored securely at the other end to ensure confidentiality. "There is something valuable in giving people care in their own homes and avoiding hospitals, especially if their immune system is low," says Aimie Chapple, Accenture's health practice leader. The implementation of Teki has already saved the region's health authorities more than 40m euros (£33m) as a result of reduced hospital stays, says Accenture. And by delivering healthcare to chronically ill patients in their own homes this way, the NHS could save up to £7bn a year, the company believes. "There is certainly evidence of both health and financial benefits," she says. Health is closely related to wellbeing, and technology can play a part here, too, believes D Health's Steven Dodsworth. "Housing associations could offer an app that allows isolated people to press a button when they need their grass cutting or their shopping bringing in," he says. "That could connect to people looking for work, and you then build a community around an isolated person. That promotes wellbeing, allows them to stay in their home longer, and delivers a social benefit, with simple technology as the enabler." He says that state-funded providers are being far too slow to adopt new technologies, making it hard to prove the benefits on a large scale. A sustainable health revolution is only likely to happen if technology companies start targeting their products directly at us, the end users, rather than the service providers, he argues. BBC Wales understands one proposal was for two parties to withdraw candidates in seats where the third party had a chance of victory in the poll on 5 May. The Greens said the "electoral math was there" but not the "political will". Plaid confirmed "exploratory talks" had ended. The Liberal Democrats said they "decided it wasn't the right approach". Wales Green Party leader Alice Hooker-Stroud said: "Talks took place but no final proposal to take to our members for final agreement was reached." A spokeswoman for Plaid Cymru said Wales needed "a new direction and fresh thinking". She added: "Informal, exploratory talks were held with the Liberal Democrats and Green Party in order to establish whether any cooperation was feasible between the parties. "These discussions have since come to an end. "Plaid Cymru - the Party of Wales - will continue to demonstrate that it is ready and able to provide the strong leadership Wales needs following May's election." A spokesman for the Welsh Liberal Democrats said: "We can confirm that we were approached informally on this matter but we decided it wasn't the right approach." Plaid Cymru is the third largest party with 11 of the assembly's 60 seats, while the Lib Dems have denied suggestions they could lose all five of their AMs. The Greens currently have no assembly members, and gained 2.6% of the vote in Wales in the 2015 general election. First Minister Carwyn Jones said the talks showed that some people were "throwing in the towel already" on the assembly election. Speaking on Y Sgwrs on S4C, Mr Jones said it would have been interesting to hear the discussions. He said Welsh Labour was not looking for any electoral deal and would be fighting the election as a single party. Conservative AM Dr Altaf Hussain claimed the news was "hugely embarrassing" for Plaid Cymru and its leader Leanne Wood. "Just this week Plaid AMs said that it wasn't appropriate to talk coalitions before the election, and now we find out that they have been desperately scratching around for a deal with other minor parties - disrespecting voters and undermining democracy," he said. "It does seem that Leanne has given up on her election chances before a single vote has been cast; leaderless, rudderless and utterly hopeless." In 1992 Cynog Dafis was elected MP for Ceredigion on a joint Plaid Cymru-Green ticket. However, in the run-up to the 2015 general election the Greens accused Plaid members of harassing them on social media after they refused to stand down to give Plaid a better chance of winning Ceredigion back from the Lib Dems. Y Sgwrs is on S4C at 21:30 GMT on Wednesday 10 February. Customs officials said the 139 Radiated and six Angonoka tortoises had been "wrapped inhumanly" in plastic bags. Two Radiated tortoises were found dead, with broken shells, but the rest were alive, officials said. The tortoises were being smuggled from Madagascar to Nepal, with Mumbai as a transit point, they added. No arrests have been made so far. Assistant Customs Commissioner Kiran Kumar Karlapu tweeted that only 600 Angonoka tortoises are left in the wild. Angonoka tortoises, also known as Ploughshare, are highly prized for their distinctive gold and black shells and fetch exceptionally high prices on the international black market. Officials said the tortoises would be sent back to Madagascar in accordance with Indian laws.

The former prime minister's office confirmed he believed Ms Cooper was the best of the four contenders to succeed Ed Miliband. His second preference was Andy Burnham with Liz Kendall his third choice. Mr Brown recently made a speech warning against Labour becoming a "party of protest," which was seen as a swipe at left-wing frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn. Mr Brown will set out his choice at the Edinburgh Book Festival at the weekend. Meanwhile, Mr Burnham has warned "big figures from the past" against intervening in the Labour leadership contest. In the latest in a series of BBC News interviews with each of the candidates, he said former leaders risked being seen as "lecturing" the party's members and supporters. He said ex-leaders "needed to be listened to" but added: "If lots of people come out, the party members begin to feel they are being lectured by the higher echelons of the party." Earlier, Mr Corbyn rejected claims by Ms Cooper and other senior figures that he would split the party. Ms Kendall said she intended to fight on despite trailing in fourth place in the polls, saying many voters were still undecided. The four leadership teams are due to meet Labour officials on Tuesday to discuss concerns about the ballot being hijacked by Conservative and hard-left infiltrators. All party members, registered supporters and affiliated supporters have a vote. More than 160,000 people signed up to vote in the final days before the registration deadline, bringing the total size of the electorate to 610,000. New regulations allow members of the public to sign up to vote as a registered supporter for £3. It was reported to be "alive and thrashing about" near Mundesley, about 50 miles away from Hunstanton, where a whale died on Thursday. However, the coastguard ended its search after there were no further sightings following the initial report. It said the whale had hopefully returned to deeper waters. Live: Updates on whale search here The whale was spotted 300-400 yards off shore by a member of the Happisburgh and Mundesley Coastguard Rescue Team, which contacted the UK Coastguard just after 10:00 GMT. Keith Griffin, station officer for the team, said: "We've carried out an extensive search and are confident that if the whale was in that search area, we'd have found it. "Low tide has now passed so with a bit of luck it will return to deeper waters and stand a chance of survival." The next low tide, when the whale could become stranded, is expected at 02:00 GMT on Wednesday. Members of the public were earlier advised to keep at a safe distance from the whale, so as not to cause it any distress. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue said it was investigating the latest sighting and was told the whale was "still free-swimming." 300,000 sperm whales in the world 30 sperm whales washed ashore across Europe in 2016 6 sperm whales beached in Norfolk and Lincolnshire in 2016 A sperm whale that died last week was the sixth one to die off the British coast this year and the 30th to die in the North Sea in 2016. The whales that have died this year in British waters all washed up on the east coast of England in Skegness and Hunstanton. The last whale to wash up in Hunstanton died despite the efforts of experts to rescue it. Specialist contractors have now been brought in to remove the carcass to a disposal facility. The other whales were found beached in France, Germany and the Netherlands. Marine experts said it was probably due to a pod, which normally lives off the west cost of Norway, straying into shallow waters while hunting squid. In a separate incident, a dead minke whale washed up on a beach in Essex last month after being hit by a ship. The Carloway Mill employs 27 people and provides yarn to 30 weavers. A Chinese textile company invested in the business in 2013 but hopes of expanding into the Chinese market have not been realised. The mill's owners said the cost of its raw material had increased by 35% and weavers' wages had risen but the price of tweed had fallen by 10%. They added that the business had a full order book and would seek voluntary administration to give the site and its jobs some protection. The trouble was sparked by the arrest of a man whose wife was told by police on Thursday to remove an Islamic face-covering veil, banned in public. He has been accused of trying to strangle the officer. Up to 300 people attacked a police station in Trappes on Friday night where the man was being held. One leading Muslim group disputed the authorities' version of events, blaming police "provocation". The suspect, described as a Muslim convert aged 21, was later released on Saturday pending an appearance in court, French media say. The ban on wearing the full face veil in public was introduced in April 2011 with the threat of a financial penalty for not observing it. Reinforcements from the CRS riot police were drafted in and Interior Minister Manuel Valls said they would remain in place until calm was restored. Thirty riot police vehicles were seen outside the Trappes police station. In the latest violence which erupted in Trappes and several neighbouring areas, bus-shelters and cars were torched and fireworks directed at police, who responded with tear gas and baton charges. The worst of the trouble took place in the early hours of Sunday. In one reported incident, a car was driven at police but no-one was hurt. "It's beginning to spread to surrounding areas - Elancourt and Guyancourt," David Callu of the SGP police officers' union told BFM-TV news channel. Four people were arrested and 20 cars burned, Mr Valls said in a statement. Tensions in France's high-immigration city suburbs continue to fester, the BBC's Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield reports. Although there has been no sustained unrest since the 2005 riots, sporadic violence is far from rare, he adds. In 2005, a state of emergency was imposed when a wave of rioting spread across France, sparked by the deaths of two teenagers in a Paris suburb. The report by the Environmental Audit Committee also called for lower VAT on recycled products and longer warranty periods on consumer goods. It concluded that a "circular economy" approach is needed to save resources as the world's population rises. In England, 8.5 million tonnes of local authority-collected waste goes to landfill, according to government figures. If Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are included, the amount of waste in the UK being buried is in the region of 11 million tonnes. The report called for a move away from "the throwaway society", said the chair of the Environmental Audit Committee, Joan Walley. "It's really looking at a whole new way that we do business and how we live our lives, and really accepting that it makes sense from everyone's perspective to have a circular economy where we reuse and recycle and have virtually zero waste." Local councils should be banned from sending leftover food to landfill sites, said the MPs. Of the 7.2m tonnes of food thrown out every year, only 400,000 tonnes are collected separately for recycling in the UK, around 6% of the total. The MPs also want separate food collections for composting or making biogas, renewable energy and fertiliser through the "anaerobic digestion" process. Businesses told the inquiry that the recycling regime in England is confusing and makes it harder for companies to get hold of raw materials that could be reused. Mike Barry of Marks and Spencer told the Committee, "The number one thing that [the Government] can do to help us is to simplify the collection of waste in the consumer's home." Wales and Scotland have made improvements in standardising recycling collections. In Wales, more than 90% of homes now have access to organic recycling facilities. However, in England, only around a quarter of local councils provide a separate food waste collection. Resource Management Minister Dan Rogerson said the Government was fully committed to building a circular economy and wanted to see the UK leading the way in new waste and recycling markets. "That is why we have invested £17m to encourage businesses to become more resource efficient," he said. "We will continue to work closely with local authorities, industry and the voluntary sector to consider how best to take these recommendations forward and will respond to the Committee in due course." According to a recent report by the think tank the Green Alliance, electronic goods worth around a billion pounds are put in landfill each year, but only around 2% are recycled. "If we got that product back to someone who could repair it, about a quarter of products are readily repairable or reusable and that's a lot of value: we reckon at least £250 million per year," said Dustin Benton of the Green Alliance. One company that would stand to benefit from the proposals is London-based company Envirowaste, which prepares thrown-away goods for reuse. "People just ring us up and tell us to get rid of everything," said James Rubin, who welcomed the report. "We all get rid of waste, and it's a matter of putting it into a bin and forget about it. People should be taking more responsibility." But Aleyn Smith-Gillespie of the Carbon Trust said, "Stronger signals are needed to encourage businesses to take action on ending the throwaway society. "Many companies do recognise the potential in a shift towards a more sustainable circular economy, but currently only a handful of pioneers are taking the important first steps." Neil Faudemer completed the 32km (20-mile) route in 14 hours 57 minutes. It was his fifth attempt. The 55-year-old from Jersey, who was stung in the mouth by a jellyfish during the attempt, believes he swam around 45km (28 miles) in total. "I really wanted to do this because of the history - it's haunted me," he said. Ruth Oldham was the first to complete the swim, in 1962. Mr Faudemer, who became the first man to swim between Sark and Jersey in 2011, left Guernsey at 11:45 BST on Friday and arrived in Jersey just before 03:00 BST on Saturday. "My wife and her friend were sat in their cars with their headlights on guiding me in," he said. "It's taken a while to sink in, especially having got so close to finishing the swim before." Mr Faudemer was joined on the swim by a support team that included Jersey's Minister for Sport, Steve Pallett and fellow sea-swimmer Wendy Trehiou. The INTO is protesting about cutbacks which could mean 500 teacher job losses and 1,000 support staff going. The teachers' union says the result of its ballot shows the anger of its members against what it calls the "cuts agenda". It said the profession was being ripped apart to balance the Stormont budget. Just over 34% of members voted and 79% opted for strike action. The union has almost 7,000 members in Northern Ireland. The teachers will be called out to strike on Friday 13 March and to attend demonstrations against the cuts, organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. The INTO's northern executive will meet on Monday to decide on other action, but a spokesman said that could involve actions which do not harm children's education, such as targeting the Department of Education. Unison, which represents health workers, has also announced that its members will go out on strike on 13 March. The union is due to meet with employers on Friday to discuss emergency cover. Other unions are expected to announce their intention to strike in the coming days. In a statement, the US Navy said it had lost confidence in Eric Rasch, who was in charge of a riverine squadron at the time of the incident in the Gulf. A Navy official said Cmdr Rasch had been re-assigned. The sailors were released after intense diplomacy between US Secretary of State John Kerry and top Iranian officials. On Thursday, the US Navy official said that Cmdr Rasch had failed to provide effective leadership, leading to a lack of oversight, complacency and failure to maintain standards in his unit. The official - who spoke on condition of anonymity - did not say what the former commander's new role was. In January, the sailors - nine men and a woman - were detained when one of their two vessels broke down while training in the Gulf. They were then taken to Farsi Island, in the middle of the Gulf, where Iran has a naval base. The incursion was "unintentional", the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were quoted as saying at the time. The sailors were released after about 15 hours, and after Iran said they apologised. But Vice-President Joe Biden later said that the boat had had simply a problem and there was "nothing to apologise for". The US said at the time it was investigating how the sailors entered Iranian waters. Tracey Lisk from Swansea says the pig called Nessa has not stopped growing since she bought if last February. She said she never expected it to get anywhere near its current size. "Although she is really clean they are very destructive in the house so she is now lives in the garage and garden," said the mother of four. She said she had contacted a number of community farms but they were not interested in rehousing Nessa, who Mrs Lisk would happily give away for free to a good home. "I really thought I had done my homework and I saved up for a year," she said. After checking out various websites and successfully applying for a licence she bought the animal from a woman in England. "Being honest when I first saw her I thought she was big - and she has just kept growing and growing and growing." She says she has contacted the woman who sold it to her and was told there was nothing she could do about it. "She said she had sold 13 without any complaints." Mrs Lisk added: "From day one she has never made any mess in the house and she is very good with the dog. "She is destructive and so we've made a home for her in the garage but she should be on farm. "I just want to see her go to a good home." The British Kunekune Society - which represents owners of a small breed of domesticated pig - said it does not agree with keeping pigs as house pets. It said: "As a society we are regularly contacted by people who have bought a 'tiny' pig, that has grown to an unexpected size. "There is no breed of pig called the mini, micro, miniature or teacup pig. "These words can conjure an incorrect image in the minds of those who are not familiar with the sizes of pig breeds. "If you are searching for a pet pig a responsible breeder will always be happy to show you all their stock and answer questions before taking deposits. "Do not assume that a pig photographed at just a few days old will remain small after two or three years." The 40-year-old is being held after Lea Adri-Soejoko was found in a lock-up store on Sheaveshill Avenue, Colindale. Ms Adri-Soejoko, the secretary of the Colindale Allotment Association, was reported missing at 01:40 GMT on Tuesday and found 20 minutes later. The suspect, arrested on Friday, remains in custody. Police have not released the cause of death but said Ms Adri-Soejoko lost her life "in the most tragic way possible". Ms Adri-Soejoko was described as "vibrant and happy, fit and healthy" despite her age, by her family. In a statement her family said "she was a person who stood for the words community, unity, tolerance and love for your neighbour". "A matriarch, a woman who championed the underdog and did not tolerate prejudice of any kind." Det Ch Insp Noel McHugh said: "At this stage we are keeping an open mind about any possible motive and would ask any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. "An elderly woman lost her life in the most tragic way possible and was left inside a storage unit similar to a garage." Police initially said there were "signs" he did visit, but later said these could not be confirmed. An unused Dutch Sim card was found in his backpack, French and Italian media reports say. The Tunisian was shot dead by police in Milan early on Friday. Police are inquiring whether he travelled to Amsterdam in the aftermath of the attack before heading to Lyon in France and then to Italy. CCTV footage has been released of him at Lyon-Part-Dieu station, before he apparently boarded a train on his way towards Milan. The Sim card found in his backpack was issued between 20 and 22 December in one of three possible Dutch cities - Breda, Zwolle and Nijmegen, Italian media reported. It was widely reported after the attack that German police searched a refugee centre in Emmerich, just across the border at Nijmegen. That Amri was able to travel from Berlin while subject to a European arrest warrant has raised security questions. Police have pieced together his journey first to from Lyon to Turin, then by another train to Milan, where he took a coach to the north-eastern suburb of Sesto San Giovanni. But how he travelled from Berlin to Lyon remains unclear. Investigators are also trying to find out if Amri, 24, had accomplices. A video has been released of him pledging allegiance to the head of jihadist group Islamic State (IS). The soprano has close connections to St Andrew's Church in Epworth and performed there on Saturday night. Penny Birks, church warden and treasurer, said the church was "very grateful" to Garrett for her support. The 230 tickets for the show sold out within hours. The money raised will go towards restoration work on the historic bells and organ. Mrs Birks said it was the second time Garrett had helped out the church, having staged a concert there some 18 years ago. Speaking ahead of the concert, Garrett said: "The acoustics are fantastic, that's the first thing I noticed when I came in." Cash raised from the concert will boost a £44,000 lottery grant given to the church last month towards work on the bells and organ, which will cost a total of £48,637. The church said little work had been done on the bells since they were installed eight years ago, and they were showing signs of distress. The next few months will provide an opportunity to assess if the DUP is heading in a more liberal direction, or standing its traditional ground, albeit with more modern slicker presentation. Health Minister Simon Hamilton's announcement that he would approve blood donations from gay men if experts decide it's safe appears a pointer. It's hard to imagine either of his predecessors, Jim Wells and Edwin Poots, making a similar announcement. But if the health minister felt emboldened by Mrs Foster's impending promotion, in her initial interviews the new leader has avoided any further gestures. Instead, Mrs Foster has reiterated the DUP's opposition to same sex marriage and declined to respond directly to questions about whether DUP MLAs might get a free vote on abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality (Mrs Foster referred to the need to assess the recent judgement on the issue from Mr Justice Horner). Although the new leader explicitly rejects the notion that the DUP has an old wing and a new wing, like every political organisation, its members aren't carbon copies of each other. Among those gathered at an east Belfast hotel to applaud Mrs Foster's elevation, for example, were Alderman Maurice Mills who reportedly blamed Hurricane Katrina on an annual gay event and MLA Pam Cameron who privately insisted, when challenged over same-sex marriage that she had gay friends, wasn't a "homophobic bigot" and was one of many who would "see NI move forward". Mrs Foster will probably enjoy, like most new leaders, a honeymoon period. But the five months between now and the assembly elections will undoubtedly provide opportunities to test her instincts, not just on these social and moral issues. The DUP isn't the only party to have staged a changing of the guard during 2015. The SDLP also has a new young leader. Colum Eastwood, like Arlene Foster, has to manage a party in which there is a range of views on issues like same sex marriage, which the party officially supports, or changes to the abortion law, which it doesn't. While Mrs Foster was getting unanimously elected, Mr Eastwood was accusing both the DUP and Sinn Féin of failing to live up to their promises in the Fresh Start deal. Section F of the deal promised that agendas would be circulated one day in advance of executive meetings, a move intended to address the concerns of smaller parties that they weren't being given enough time to examine important policies decided behind closed doors by the big two power brokers. But Mr Eastwood complained that Mrs Foster - in finance minister mode - had circulated her draft budget just 12 hours before Thursday's executive meeting and put the final document before ministers only 20 minutes before they were required to vote. The SDLP leader described this as "a political snub" and "a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise the people we represent". Alliance ministers also voted against the draft budget, claiming "there was no justification for rushing the budget within hours". Some of the faces at Stormont's top tables may be changing. But my guess is that many of the arguments between the parties will still sound awfully familiar. The men included 102 from Lewis, while others came from the Northern Isles, Wick, Avoch, Glasgow, Fife and Barra. They were among 1,500 members of the Royal Naval Division held in a camp dubbed HMS Timbertown. BBC Alba's documentary of the same name draws on Admiralty records to tell the stories of its Scots' inmates. The Royal Naval Division was set up by Winston Churchill when he was lord of the Admiralty. In October 1914, the division was caught up in the fall of Antwerp following a month-long siege by German troops. Following Germany's invasion of Belgium in August 1914, Antwerp had sheltered the Belgian's King Albert I, along with his government, civilians and thousands of soldiers, including elements of the British Expeditionary Force. After the city and its fortifications fell, the men of the Royal Naval Division crossed into Holland to evade capture. They reached the town of Groningen where the authorities had a camp of wooden huts built to hold them until the end of the war. In the documentary, BBC Alba's Angela MacLean retraces the sailors' journey and recounts the experiences of the Lewis men in the camp. Interred with them were men from all over Scotland and the rest of the UK and included fishermen, an actor, a burglar and the Duchess of Cambridge's great grandfather, Frederick Glassborow. There were escape attempts and deaths from illnesses in the camp. Football matches and cabaret shows organised by the men were watched by local people, who were allowed, on occasions, to visit. Some of the sailors were allowed to return to the UK on leave for family funerals and even to help with take in harvests on farms and crofts, on condition they came back to the camp. HMS Timbertown will be shown on BBC Alba on Thursday from 21:00. Ms Villiers said quit the government after turning down a new role offered to her by new Prime Minister Theresa May. Mr Brokenshire said he was "delighted and honoured" to have been given the Northern Ireland portfolio. Politicians have reacted to Ms Villiers departure and the appointment of her successor. "I think she got to know the issues very well, but more than that she got to know to know the personalities. "I wish her all all the very best for the future, and I'm sure she'll come back in another role in the Conservative Party in due course." "For the past two years I have worked closely with Theresa Villiers and have appreciated the effort and commitment she invested in this role. "During this period, we worked together to facilitate the achievement of the Stormont House and Fresh Start Agreements, which have stabilised the devolved institutions. "I wish to acknowledge the positive contribution Theresa made and wish her success in her future political career." "I wish Theresa Villiers well personally, but politically she will not be missed. "She has been the representative of a British government which inflicted austerity, welfare cuts and now Brexit on the people of the north. "She also played a negative role in dealing with the legacy of the conflict, continually placing obstacles in the path of families seeking access to truth." "Theresa Villiers will be no loss. "All British secretary of states (sic) should stay over there." "I'm sure Theresa Villiers will be back in frontline politics soon, thanks for her work in Northern Ireland. "Look forward to working with James Brokenshire." "Theresa Villiers was a hard working secretary of state, albeit one with whom I've had my fair share of disagreements. "I wish her well in the future." "Sorry to see Theresa Villiers leave the cabinet. "Best wishes to her for the future." "Just can't get that song 'Bye bye baby bye bye' out of my head." "Congratulations to James Brokenshire on your appointment as secretary of state for Northern Ireland. "Looking forward to working with you." "Under the Good Friday Agreement, the Irish and British governments have key responsibilities for upholding its principles and supporting its institutions. "I look forward to working closely with Mr Brokenshire in discharging these in the interests of all of the people of Northern Ireland. "That work assumes even greater importance in the context of the challenges arising from the decision that the UK should exit from the EU." "I look forward to working with him in the weeks and months ahead. "We hope to see James actively engage with the official opposition as well as the Northern Ireland Executive." "In a welcome contrast to his predecessor, Mr Brokenshire was a remainer, knew the benefits of staying in the EU and the consequences of leaving. "In his role, he must act in the best interests of people of Northern Ireland, and I urge him to listen to his original instincts and ensure the democratic will here is upheld." "I congratulate Mr Brokenshire on his appointment, having worked closely with him during my time as minister of justice. "Part of that role will be to recognise the majority of people in Northern Ireland voted to remain within the EU and to start work immediately on the particular circumstances of that. "That will involve fighting for Northern Ireland in any Brexit negotiations by articulating he will be an active advocate of the interests of Northern Ireland, both within the cabinet and within EU discussions." They were killed when a gunman, with links to Islamic State extremists, opened fire on a beach in Sousse, outside two hotels. He had hidden a gun under a beach umbrella and also threw grenades, forcing people to run for their lives. Some survivors have been speaking about their ordeal. Full coverage of the Sousse attack Angela Evans and her friend lay face down in the sand playing dead as the gunman passed. "We both looked up, stood up, there was this man there in black, several rows of sun loungers away just stood there with his huge gun moving round all the people shooting them, just killing, murdering them. "You can't run, you're an open target running, he was shooting anyone on their feet as well as people on sun loungers, he was just killing them. "So we both at the same time, [said] play dead, we just fell to the ground, faces in the sand. "The shooting continued. He just kept on shooting, it was coming nearer and nearer. Then his feet were at the side of me. "You don't move, because you're next. You just pray to God. "Then there was this noise, this heavy clicking noise, into the sand fell part of the gun, a magazine... You still have to pretend you're dead. "And then click again. He put more bullets in. "And then there was a noise. I don't know what noise, just a noise. I could feel him move and the shooting started again." Ms Evans, from King's Lynn in Norfolk, described hearing the gunman leave the beach towards a hotel. When the pair thought it was safe, they ran to another hotel. She said staff there hid her and her friend in an office until it was over. Saera Wilson said her fiance Matthew James, 30, from Trehafod, near Pontypridd, was trying to protect her during the gunfire and used his body as a human shield. Ms Wilson, 26, said Mr James was hit in the shoulder, chest and hip. Speaking from the hospital where Mr James, known as Sas, is being treated, Ms Wilson said: "He took a bullet for me. I owe him my life because he threw himself in front of me when the shooting started. "He was covered in blood from the shots, but he just told me to run away." Shelley Hay, 25, and Ben Milton, 24, from Cardiff, were on the beach with sunbathers when the attack began. Ms Hay told the BBC: "I heard what I thought were fireworks and looked to the left of me and the whole beach was running, it was like a stampede. "I have never seen anything like it in my life. There were shots - from what I know now as I could see sand flying in the air - I believe it was bullets hitting the floor and the sand was just hitting back, so we just ran." The couple got engaged hours later. Mr Milton proposed after deciding to "not let them stop me." Fourteen-year-old Bronwyn Slater was in the sea with her mum when the gunman began firing. "We just heard these sounds like bang, bang, bang bang. We just proper ran to my dad. It were terror and shock and sorrow. Then I had to proper sprint for my life really, to survive," she told the BBC. The three of them ran to a shop where they hid in a cupboard for two-and-a-half hours, listening to gun shots and hand grenades being detonated on either side of them. It must have been frightening, said BBC Today presenter John Humphrys. "Frightening? It's unbelievable. It's shocking as well and terrifying really," said Bronwyn. Listen to the full interview on BBC Radio Four's Today programme One survivor has spoken about how he was hidden in a hotel laundry room by hotel staff. John Carter, who was on holiday with his wife Lynn, ran into his hotel's kitchen area after hearing gunfire and was hidden in the laundry room. Mr Carter, from Hull said he lost sight of his wife after stopping briefly to urge an older man to run. "Then there were big explosions and then gunshots," he said. "You didn't know what was going on, and you just saw some legs under where we were hid and they were shouting at them to get in with us, and then someone fell on top of me and it was my wife." Couple Becky Catterick, 19, and Mark Barlow, 24, from Scunthorpe were protected from the gunman by local shopkeepers. Miss Catterick said: "We didn't want to say goodbye, but he just kept getting closer so we just all told each other we loved each other." "We thought it was the end," Mr Barlow added. Jac Randell, from Cardiff, was on holiday in the resort of Sousse with his partner Hollie Nicklin when the gunman opened fire on Friday. Mr Randell said they ran from the attacker expecting to get shot in the back. "Hotel staff formed a line of protection around the hotel. They were prepared to take the bullets for us. You can't thank them enough," he said. One British tourist in Tunisia, whose name was only given as Danny, took refuge under a table with his wife, hearing ''guns and grenades and explosions'' around them. ''I hid under a table and kissed my wife goodbye, thinking that was going to be the end'' he said. Listen to his story A couple from Manchester told the BBC that the gunman was "killed about 400 yards" from where they were hiding. Olivia Leathley, who was on holiday in Sousse, said she saw "hundreds of people running and screaming from the beach," before she managed to hide with her boyfriend, Mike Jones, in a small security lodge. Melanie Callaway, 45, from Hedge End, Hampshire had just been in the sea with her friend Paula Gill, 48, when the shooting started. "It was absolutely manic - people were just screaming 'run for your life', 'get off the beach - just run'. It was like a tsunami film where everyone was just running up the beach towards their hotels. "We had a five-minute run up the footpath with no shoes on," said Mrs Callaway. The pair barricaded themselves in their room in the Royal Kenz Hotel for five hours with a mattress pushed up against the door. Debbie Horsfall was on holiday in Tunisia and flew back on Saturday morning. She described to the BBC how her friend noticed the gunman, and raised the alarm by shouting ''run, there's a gun''. Graeme Scott, from Irchester, Northamptonshire, was in the Hotel Imperial Marharba with his parents Jen and Sid and cousin Karl when the Tunisian beach attack happened. "We were laying by the pool and suddenly there were gunshots - what I thought were gunshots - but dad turned round and said 'it's fire crackers'. "I said 'no dad it's gunshots, we have got to go'. So we all got up... and we just headed towards the foyer of the hotel. "We just wanted to get safe somewhere. "There was about 20 of us in the cellar room with the door shut just for safety and we had to just keep quiet. "We just feared for our lives." Listen to the full interview with BBC Radio Northampton Belfast couple Robert McKenzie and his wife, Wilma, had just come out of the sea when the gunman opened fire. The couple were staying at a hotel about 300 yards from where the shooting happened. Mr McKenzie said "pandemonium" broke out. "Everyone was running. I hadn't heard any gunfire," he said. "If they had come to our section of the beach, we'd have been wiped out because we always lay right at the front of the beach... and wouldn't have had a chance, quite honestly. "By the grace of God, it didn't happen to us." Senior academics said proposals put forward by Cardiff University School of Medicine could make it more difficult to recruit and retain high calibre doctors in Wales. The university's dean denied claims that patients and the NHS will suffer. Prof John Bligh said cutting areas of research will strengthen it and keep it "ahead of competition". There is particular concern that the Medic Forward restructuring plan could impact on heart disease research in Cardiff and senior academics say the plan is "absurd". Heart disease is the biggest killer in Wales and rates here are among the highest in Europe. A senior professor, who did not want to be named, told BBC Wales: "Disinvesting in this area will be a major loss for Cardiff. "It will mean high level doctors in this needy subject won't come to Wales as they claim it won't see it as a high level place to come to research ... this will deplete the strength of the NHS in Wales." He said it would have an impact on high level doctors "which we desperately need in Wales" to raise the quality of care and help generate new ideas. Another senior academic added: "We appreciate you can't undertake research into everything but this has been done so quickly, without warning." Prof Bligh argued the school would not be cutting heart research completely and would concentrate on specific areas such as cellular function of the heart, congenital heart disease and looking at what impact behaviours such as smoking and drinking have on heart disease. He said the restructuring will allow the school to strengthen other research areas, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease and autism, where he claims it can compete with the best in the world. There have also been concerns that if the restructuring plans are implemented, the university would have to return millions of pounds of research grants awarded from external bodies. The British Heart Foundation funds a professorship and recently awarded a £1m grant into heart research. BBC Wales has been told that post is no longer under threat and no money would have to be returned. The university also said it consulted with the NHS and the Welsh government about the plans, but Prof Bligh admitted lessons can be learned about how plans were communicated to staff and students. PhD students have raised concerns that the move could leave them without anybody to supervise their theses next year. The University and College Union has called on bosses to reconsider the proposals and the British Medical Association recently passed a motion "deploring" the proposed changes. Cardiff University's governing body, the university council, will meet in June to decide how the restructuring plans will move forward. The medical school hopes to complete the reorganisation by spring 2016. Some rail works begin on Christmas Eve, which falls on a Saturday, and are set to continue for four days. London, Manchester and Cardiff are among the cities hit and the Heathrow Express will be suspended for six days. Rail bosses recommend people plan their journeys using the National Rail Enquiries website. It said major works take place during official holidays as up to 50% fewer passengers travel then. More than 95% of the network would open as usual, National Rail's England and Wales managing director Phil Hufton said. "There's never a good time to impact on journeys and I'd like to thank passengers in advance for their patience, " he said. Among the works: The studio, based in Chongqing in the south west of the country, will also include a theme park. Work is due to start on the project early next year. China is keen to produce more successful local films. A national quota permits only 34 Hollywood films to be shown each year in the country. The studio and park will be named after President Xi Jinping's One Belt, One Road program, a multibillion-dollar project to strengthen ties with China's western and southern neighbours. The park will also feature tourist attractions and officials say they have operating agreements already with several foreign partners China is already the world's second-largest film market, while China's richest man, Wang Jianlin, owns the AMC cinema chain - the second largest in the US - as well as Legendary Entertainment. His company, Dalian Wanda, also has a tie-in with Sony Pictures. Jianlin recently continued his Hollywood shopping spree by snapping up the company that runs the Golden Globes. Next year Legendary Entertainment, in partnership with Universal, will release Great Wall - starring Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe alongside Chinese actor Andy Lau and boy band idol Wang Junkai, It will be the first major Hollywood film aimed at a global audience to be set, filmed and produced in China.

Tommy Ward was found badly beaten at his home in Salisbury Road, Maltby, on 1 October 2015. Around £30,000 was thought to have been stolen. He died from his injuries in hospital on 23 February. The men, aged 23, 30 and 35, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday by South Yorkshire Police. Anyone with information is asked to contact the force as its investigation into Mr Ward's death continues. The condition means her body does not produce insulin and she must now inject herself with the hormone at least twice a day for the rest of her life. She told the Mail on Sunday that the diagnosis "was a real shock" and had taken a while to come to terms with. But it was a case of "head down and getting on with it", Mrs May added. She said: "The diabetes doesn't affect how I do the job or what I do. It's just part of life. Diabetes UK "'It started last November. I'd had a bad cold and cough for quite a few weeks. I went to my GP and she did a blood test which showed I'd got a very high sugar level - that's what revealed the diabetes. "The symptoms are tiredness, drinking a lot of water, losing weight, but it's difficult to isolate things. I was drinking a lot of water. But I do anyway. "There was weight loss but then I was already making an effort to be careful about diet and to get my gym sessions in. "Tiredness - speak to any politician and they will tell you the hours they work. Tiredness can be part of the job. It is full on." Initially doctors thought Mrs May had Type 2 diabetes but two months ago it was revealed to be Type 1 diabetes. There had been media speculation that Mrs May losing two stones in weight over 18 months was linked to a potential Conservative Party leadership bid, but she said this had been partly down to the illness. Asked if her diagnosis would prevent her from one day replacing David Cameron, she told the newspaper: "There is no leadership bid. We have a first-class prime minister and long may he continue." She added: "It doesn't and will not affect my ability to do my work. I'm a little more careful about what I eat and there's obviously the injections, but this is something millions of people have. I'm OK with needles, fortunately. "There's a great quote from Steve Redgrave who was diagnosed with diabetes before he won his last Olympic gold medal. He said diabetes must learn to live with me rather than me live with diabetes. That's the attitude." Meanwhile, the Labour MP Keith Vaz, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2007, has said it is a "shock to be told" you have the condition. Writing on Twitter, he said "Mine came 6 years ago. Theresa May right to reveal. 500k have it and don't know. Take the test." The Exiles, who are bottom of League Two, have signed former Arsenal midfielder Jack Jebb on non-contract terms in addition to ex-Bournemouth forward Josh O'Hanlon, 21. Jebb, also 21, is a former England U17 international. Both players made their debuts for Newport in their 2-0 EFL Trophy victory over AFC Wimbledon. The Leopards, coached by Florent Ibenge, secured the title with two goals from the impressive Meschak Elia and a late Jonathan Bolingi strike. DR Congo became the first nation to win the trophy twice, having won the inaugural CHAN tournament - which is only open to footballers who play in their own local leagues - in 2009 in Ivory Coast. At a packed Amohoro Stadium in Kigali, DR Congo enjoyed huge support from the crowd although it was Mali who started with more purpose with Mamadou Coulibaly going close twice with a couple of early shots. But it was an exquisite individual strike from Meschak Elia which broke the deadlock on 29 minutes, to give DR Congo the lead. His long-range, angled shot gave Mali keeper Djigui Diarra no chance, and set Ibenge's side up nicely going into the break. Elia again proved to be too much for Mali in the second half, scoring his second goal on 61 minutes. He dribbled past Diarra, placing the ball into an empty net. That goal sparked mass celebrations in the stands amongst the hoards of DR Congo fans. Mali tried to get back into the match, but failed to make the most of their opportunities. Lassana Samaka missed a good chance for Mali ten minutes later, with the game put beyond doubt when Jonathan Bolingi added a third for DR Congo 18 minutes from time. Meschak Elia was given a standing ovation when he was substituted on 86 minutes, and the crowd sang out coach Florent Ibenge's name. Ibenge also guided the senior DR Congo side to third place at last year's Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea. Earlier, Ivory Coast took the bronze medal, beating Guinea 2-1 in an eventful third place play-off match. Ivorian keeper Abdoul Cisse played a key part in the Elephants' win, saving two penalties. Guinea missed the chance to take an early lead when Ibrahima Sankhon's spot-kick was saved by Cisse in the 27th minute. Just four minutes later, Guinea gifted Ivory Coast the opener with an own-goal from the unlucky Mohamed Youla. The Ivorians doubled their lead three minutes later through Badie Gbagnon. It was a case of deja vu for Guinea in the second half when Alseny Camara stepped up to take another penalty only to see Cisse save this one too. Aboubacar Leo Camara did pull one back for Guinea five minutes from time, but Ivory Coast held on to secure the win. The deal was one of several announced during US President Donald Trump's weekend visit to the Middle East which boosted US markets. The Dow Jones rose 0.43% to 20,894.90. The wider S&P 500 climbed 0.52% to 2,394.03, while the Nasdaq was up 0.84% at 6,134.70. Defence companies were among the best performing stocks after the US and Saudi Arabia agreed a $110bn arms deal. Shares in Boeing climbed 1.6%, Lockheed Martin rose 1.6%, and Raytheon was 0.6% higher. Shares in Blackstone, which counts Hilton hotels and craft chain Michaels Stores among its investments, jumped more than 6%. Blackstone said on Saturday it is starting a new investment programme focused on infrastructure, to be financed by $20m from the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, as well as other investors and debt. Infrastructure has been a key talking point for Mr Trump, who says the US is falling behind when it comes to roads and other projects. He has pledged to jumpstart public and private investment in the area. Shares in Ford climbed 2.1% after the carmaker said it had replaced its chief executive Mark Fields, following a major reshuffle. Ford's new chief is Jim Hackett, who formerly ran the company's self-driving car division. Oil price rises also drove energy stock prices higher. Lord Lamont urged peers not to attempt to add conditions to the government's Brexit bill as it passed through the Lords. But another ex-chancellor, Labour's Lord Darling, said the government should not get a "blank cheque". Peers gave an unopposed second reading to the draft legislation. More than 180 members spoke over the course of the two day debate, which lasted nearly 20 hours. Urging peers to leave the bill unamended, Lord Lamont, who backed a Leave vote in June's referendum, said the views of the Remain side should be taken into account - and added: "But equally I believe that those who voted to Remain have a duty not to undermine the government's negotiating position." But Lord Darling told peers: "I do not accept this argument that from now on those of us on the Remain side should sit back and say nothing and simply give the government a blank cheque to proceed." He said this was impossible with so many "unanswered questions". Liberal Democrat Baroness Kramer said voters should have "the final word" on the Brexit deal in a referendum. MPs have already backed the proposed law, authorising Mrs May to inform the EU of the UK's intention to leave. Although there was no formal vote on Tuesday, opposition peers are seeking to amend the bill at a later date to guarantee the rights of EU citizens in Britain and the role of Parliament in scrutinising the process. As the government does not have a majority in the Lords, it is vulnerable to being outvoted if opposition peers - including Labour's 202 and the 102 Lib Dems - join forces. Much will hinge of the actions of the 178 crossbenchers - who are not aligned to any party. Mrs May has said she wants to invoke Article 50 of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty - the formal two-year mechanism by which a state must leave the EU - by the end of March, and the government has warned the House of Lords not to frustrate the process. Among other contributors to the debate, former Labour foreign secretary Lord Owen, who sits as an Independent Social Democrat, said: "You cannot face this issue and ignore the decision of the referendum. "But equally well, you cannot talk about a United Kingdom without being aware of the fact that a substantial number of people did not vote for it. We have to take account of those divisions as we approach this next and most crucial stage." And former ambassador to the EU Lord Kerr of Kinlochard, who drew up the Article 50 procedure, said it was not irrevocable and Parliament could invite the government or the country to think again. The UK would remain a full member of the EU throughout the negotiating period and, "if having looked into the abyss we were to change our minds about withdrawal, we certainly could and no-one in Brussels could stop us", he added. Winding up the debate, Brexit minister Lord Bridges said the bill should be passed as quickly as possible to allow negotiations with the rest of the EU to start. A clear majority had voted to leave the EU and there could be "no attempts to remain inside and no attempts to rejoin", he told peers. He also suggested giving unilateral guarantees over the future of EU nationals living in the UK would not help British expats based in other member states. "They could end up facing two years of uncertainty if any urgency of resolving their status was removed by the UK making a one-sided guarantee," he said. Detailed scrutiny of the bill at committee stage is due to take place on 27 February and 1 March. If the bill is not amended, then it could theoretically be approved by the Lords at Third Reading on 7 March, becoming law shortly afterwards. If peers do make changes to the bill, it would put them on a collision course with MPs - who overwhelmingly passed the bill unaltered and would be expected to overturn any Lords amendments. Cruse has made six appearances for Irish, having signed from Championship club Rotherham Titans in April 2015. The 26-year-old started his career at Stockport and has also had spells with Macclesfield and Sale. "Tom is a young, mobile hooker and we know there's plenty more to come from him as he's still maturing," Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said. "Tom was the standout hooker in the Championship last season while playing for Rotherham Titans and he's also impressed every time he's put on the shirt for London Irish this season." Tottenham have been drawn against Besiktas, Partizan Belgrade and Greek side Asteras Tripolis after beating AEL Limassol in their qualifier. Scottish champions Celtic meet Salzburg, Dinamo Zagreb and Romanians FC Astra. This season's winners qualify for next year's Champions League. After qualifying for the competition by finishing fifth in the Premier League last season, Roberto Martinez's Everton will face each of their Group H opponents for the first time. Lille finished third in France's Ligue 1 and Wolfsburg came fifth in Germany's Bundesliga, while Krasnodar finished fifth in the Russian league. Media playback is not supported on this device Tottenham were knocked out at the quarter-final stage in 2013 and were beaten in the last 16 by Benfica last season. They beat Group C rivals Besiktas in the Uefa Cup in 2006 but have never met either Partizan Belgrade or Asteras Tripolis. Celtic, who dropped into the Europa League after their Champions League exit against Maribor, were beaten in a Champions League qualifier by Dinamo Zagreb in 1998. Holders Sevilla line up in Group G alongside Standard Liege and Feyenoord, while three-time winners Inter Milan are in Group F. The group phase begins on Thursday, 18 September and the final of this season's competition takes place at Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw on 27 May, 2015. Nick Arnold and Scott Rendell threatened as Aldershot edged the first half, although goalscoring chances proved hard to come by for both sides. Jake Gallagher was brought down in the box with 17 minutes remaining to give the hosts a chance from the spot and substitute McClure made no mistake to secure the crucial victory. The hosts, who had Idris Kanu sent off for a second yellow late on, are now a point ahead of sixth-placed Dover but have played a game more. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

The International Telecoms Union predicts that subscriptions will pass seven billion early in 2014. There are currently 6.8 billion mobile subscriptions and 7.1 billion people. The ITU World in 2013 report also found that more than a third of the global population are online. The Commonwealth of Independent States, the alliance of countries formerly in the Soviet Union, has the highest mobile penetration with 1.7 subscriptions for every person. Africa has the least, with 63 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. "Every day we are moving closer to having almost as many mobile cellular subscriptions as people on earth," said Brahima Sanou, director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau. "The mobile revolution is 'm-powering' people in developing countries by delivering ICT applications in education, health, government, banking, environment and business." But in some countries, such as India, mobile growth is slowing. The report also found that 2.7 billion people, almost 40% of the world's population, are online. Europe has the highest penetration (75%), followed by the Americas (61%). Asia has 32% of its population online, Africa 16%. ITU secretary-general Hamadoun Toure said the progress was "extraordinary" but that more needed to be done. "Two-thirds of the world's population, some 4.5 billion people, is still offline," he said. "This means that two-thirds of the world's people are still locked out of the world's biggest market." The Manchester United maestro lined up with another sporting legend, Kerry kingpin Jack O'Shea, for this image captured at a unique event at a Castleblayney hotel. A similar one was posted on social media by Anthony Loughman, the young boy being cradled, far right, in the arms of his cousin Declan, following Monaghan's recent Ulster Championship triumph over Donegal. Declan had played for Monaghan in the 1988 final against Tyrone and his father Tony, a music promotions entrepreneur who represented the county in the 1960s, secured the appearance of Best and O'Shea. It was organised as a summer showcase for Declan's sports goods firm and he said the fear was that George wouldn't turn up. "My dad organised the visit of George Best through his agent. It was a shock that he landed, people were telling me there was not a chance," he said. "We didn't think he would be available. "George and Jack O'Shea got on the best, he was very approachable. "The place was packed, there were hundreds there, and he got a great reception, it was buzzing." Jack O'Shea told BBC News NI that he had admired Best's skills as a childhood Manchester United supporter, but never thought he would get the chance to meet him. The seven-time All-Ireland title winner had dinner with the Old Trafford icon and was able to witness his magnetism at close quarters. For one evening only, the masters of balance from Cregagh and Cahersiveen, would meet on the level. "It was just great to be in George's company, we had dinner and we talked about sport and preparing for games," Jack said. "George talked about the importance of expressing yourself when playing, respecting your opponent but having the confidence about what you can do yourself. "He also talked about his career with Manchester United. He was charismatic, very approachable and sociable, he was easy to talk to and relate to. "When he was in the function room, it was an electric atmosphere, people were all around him, he was like a magnet. "I am a Manchester United fan, I never thought I was going to meet him so it was a huge occasion for me." The picture also triggered memories for Emmet McAviney, who attended the event with his father John - a well-known photographer in the Monaghan area. John McAviney passed away in December 2009, leaving behind thousands of images that are now being digitised by Emmet. His bedroom walls were once adorned with the sporting personalities his father snapped. Among them, several of the Clones Cyclone, boxer Barry McGuigan, whose 1985 world championship triumph against Eusebio Pedroza at Loftus Road in London, John attended. The night George met Jack has even more significance for Emmet, now he is a father. "There was real excitement going to meet these guys and I got my photograph taken with both George Best and Jack O'Shea," he said. "I was a Manchester United fan and it was a big thrill to meet George, who was there with his son Calum. "Actually I came across the photograph of myself with George in recent years and was able to show it to my son. "He is 11, the same age I was when I met George. It would be like him getting a picture with Lionel Messi now. "That is the beauty of my father having been a photographer." Belgium midfielder Nainggolan scored on the turn after being teed up by Kevin Strootman. Roma striker Edin Dzeko missed a penalty, firing over the bar when Marco Faraoni had handled. Francesco Totti, 40, came on as a substitute, meaning he has now played in 25 calendar years for Roma. Totti made his debut for the Rome club in 1993. Udinese, who are 11th in the table, had several chances to equalise but Wojciech Szczesny - on loan from Arsenal - saved well from Cyril Thereau and Rodrigo de Paul. The result leaves second-placed Roma one point behind Juventus, who have two games in hand and are at mid-table Fiorentina later on Sunday (19:45 GMT). Napoli stayed in contention near the top with a 3-1 home win over bottom club Pescara, their fifth win in six league games. Goals from Lorenzo Tonelli, Marek Hamsik and Dries Mertens moved Maurizio Sarri's side on to 41 points, three behind Roma. Elsewhere, fourth-placed Lazio had to come from behind to claim a 2-1 home win over Atalanta. Ciro Immobile hit the winner from the penalty spot after Sergej Milinkovic-Savic had cancelled out Andrea Petagna's opener for the visitors. Genoa lost a fifth straight game as Marco Borriello hit a brace either side of half-time to help Cagliari win 4-1. Match ends, Udinese 0, Roma 1. Second Half ends, Udinese 0, Roma 1. Offside, Roma.

President Michelle Bachelet visited the area on Saturday, promising to provide aid to help recovery efforts. Chile's emergency services say about 2,700 survivors are now homeless. Sniffer dogs are being used to try to find people who may be trapped under the mud, which swept down from the Andes mountains in torrents and is now hardening under the desert sun, the BBC's Chile correspondent Gideon Long reports. About 30,000 people have been affected by the floods - the worst in the Atacama region in 80 years. With much of the area caked in thick brown mud, and littered with rocks and trees washed down from the mountains, it will be weeks - if not months- before the region recovers, our correspondent adds. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the rate, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index, fell to 0.3%. The ONS said the main causes were falls in the prices of air fares, vehicles, clothing and social housing rents. The Bank of England said last week that it expected inflation to increase in the second half of the year. By far the largest downward effect in April came from air transport, with prices falling by 14.2%, compared with a rise of 4.5% between the same two months last year. This was influenced by the timing of the Easter holidays in March. Fare prices increased dramatically between February and March this year and then fell sharply in April. The price of clothing and footwear also fell as retailers dropped prices to try to revive sales hit by last month's cold weather. An alternative inflation measure, the Retail Prices Index, which is still used to index some rents and pensions, also fell from an annual rate of 1.6% in March to 1.3% in April. Meanwhile core inflation, which strips out energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, fell to 1.2%, compared with economists' expectations for 1.4%. Last week, the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, had to write his sixth letter to the Chancellor George Osborne explaining why CPI inflation was still below the Bank's 2% target. In it he said: "The underlying causes of the below-target inflation of the past year and a half have been: sharp falls in commodity prices, the past appreciation of sterling, and to a lesser degree the subdued pace of domestic cost growth." The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted last week to keep interest rates unchanged at the record low of 0.5%. The Bank is not expected to raise rates until at least next year. Martin Beck, senior economic advisor to the EY Item Club, said: "We are likely to see inflation remain close to current rates until the latter part of the year, when the base effects associated with last winter's collapse in the oil price will begin to kick in and finally drag the CPI measure above 1%. Such a benign outlook is likely to stay the MPC's hand until well into next year." In a separate report, the ONS said that there had been a surge in house prices as landlords rushed to buy before higher stamp duty was imposed. UK average house prices increased by 9.0% over the year to March 2016, up from 7.6% in the year to February 2016. The pound lost about half a cent against the dollar immediately after the figures were released, but then recovered to stand at $1.4483, a gain on the day of more than 0.5%. The airworthiness certificate of the trislander aircraft has been extended until April 2016 by the European Aviation Safety Agency. Joey has inspired books and a fan club with almost 5,000 people on the Save Joey the Trislander Facebook group. Airline Aurigny said no decision had been made on the future of the aircraft which flies between Guernsey, Alderney, Southampton and Dinard, France.

Media playback is not supported on this device Karen Bardsley's save from Camille Abily put England on top in the shoot-out but Claire Rafferty and Faye White both missed to send the French through. France had dominated for long periods of normal time but Jill Scott fired England ahead against the run of play. Hope Powell's side were three minutes away from a place in the last four when Elise Bussaglia forced extra-time. Instead England slipped to an agonising defeat and it is France who will progress to face either the United States or Brazil in their semi-final on Wednesday. The manner of the defeat was all too familiar for the English, and was hard on them after they had showed superb resilience to push Bruno Bini's team all the way Alistair Magowan on England's exit A disappointed Powell told the BBC: "It was a gallant effort and there were some really tired legs out there today. Our games have been tough and we were dead on our feet at the end. "I am very proud of my players. They did their very best to take it to the wire. Unfortunately when it came down to penalties, you just had to applaud France." Both sides looked tired in extra-time, and Kelly Smith was virtually a passenger because of injury, but both wasted chances to win it, with Ellen White firing wide when through on goal and Eugenie Le Sommer off target with a back-post header. That meant penalties, and again England were initially on top when Bardsley sprang to her right to deny Abily from France's first effort. Smith, Karen Carney and Casey Stoney all scored to leave England 3-2 up, but Claire Rafferty dragged her effort wide and France were able to begin their celebrations when Faye White slammed her spot-kick against the bar. Media playback is not supported on this device France had created most of the chances during the 90 minutes, although England had started the brighter, with Smith rounding France keeper Celine Deville after just 15 seconds, only to see her shot blocked by Laura Georges. Bruno Bini's side soon settled, though, and began passing the ball fluidly, with Abily particularly influential down the right wing. The French also started to pepper Bardsley's goal with shots from distance, with their best effort a Gaetane Thiney snap-shot from the edge of the area that forced a diving save from the England keeper. England, with Ellen White looking isolated up front, were struggling to make an impact with their more direct approach and they had more defending to do before half-time. Louisa Necib went close after a corner was half-cleared, while Sandrine Soubeyrand fired wide and Abily saw another effort clear the bar. England improved after the break but were still on the back-foot and France went close with further efforts from Marie-Laure Delie and Thiney. Powell responded by pushing Scott further forward and she soon went close to finding the net with a flicked header from Rachel Unitt's whipped cross. A mix-up in the France defence allowed Scott another sight of goal after 58 minutes and this time she made no mistake, advancing to the edge of the area before expertly lifting the ball over Deville. Media playback is not supported on this device France came back strongly and forced some intense late pressure that saw substitute Elodi Thomis force a superb late save from Bardsley and Ellen White clear Laura Lepailleur's header off the line. But England's resistance was ended three minutes from time when the ball broke for Bussaglia on the edge of the area for her to curl the ball into the top corner and their subsequent shoot-out misery meant their hopes of a first appearance in the World Cup semi-finals were dashed. Afterwards, Powell hailed what she called a "gallant effort" by her side and defended her decision to bring back Faye White and Fara Williams after they were rested in the 2-0 win over Japan on Tuesday. She also explained that her decision to bring World Cup debutants Steph Houghton and Claire Rafferty off the bench for experienced duo Alex Scott and Rachel Unitt towards the end of the 90 minutes was for injury and tactical reasons. "Alex said she had a injury and Rafferty was for pace," Powell said. "Rachel Unitt would have struggled against Thomis, and we knew that was going to happen, they always bring her on. "Claire was very brave to step up and want to take a penalty, I have nothing but admiration for her."

Mr Zarif is in Vienna for talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry over Iran's nuclear deal. The international nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, is expected to confirm that Iran has scaled back its atomic activities in line with the agreement. Lifting sanctions would unfreeze billions of dollars of assets and allow Iranian oil to be sold internationally. Iran nuclear deal: Key details "Today is a good day for the Iranian people as sanctions will be lifted today," Iran's ISNA agency quoted Mr Zarif as saying. He said the IAEA's report meant implementation of the nuclear deal would go ahead. The State Department said all parties had "continued making steady progress" towards implementing the deal, adding it would ensure the "exclusively peaceful nature" of Iran's programme. As part of the deal, Iran had to drastically reduce its number of centrifuges and dismantle a heavy-water reactor near the town of Arak, both of which could be used in creating nuclear weapons. Iran has always maintained its programme is peaceful. The July 2015 agreement was seen by some as a foreign policy landmark - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the deal "historic". But opponents remain, such as some US Republicans who say it does not do enough to ensure Iran cannot develop a bomb. Many newspapers have hailed "good days ahead" for the economy, but the hardline press has lamented nuclear restrictions, with Vatan-e Emruz declaring closing the Arak reactor amounted to a "nuclear burial". Moderate Iran and reformist Mardom Salari feared Saudi Arabia and US Republicans would try to sabotage the deal, the latter predicting that "powerful hands will try to boobytrap this path". Meanwhile Conservative Hemayat said the nuclear deal would not "resolve the problem with the village chief" - referring to the US - and hardline Keyhan argued that the deal had not led to a let-up in US "anti-Iranian propaganda". Source: BBC Monitoring In July 2015, Iran agreed a landmark nuclear deal with six world powers to limit its sensitive nuclear activities for more than a decade in return for the lifting of crippling sanctions. The US is confident the agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran says it has the right to nuclear energy - and stresses that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only. Iran will not see the UN, US and EU sanctions lifted until the global nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), certifies that it has fulfilled its commitments under the deal. The precise date of the so-called "implementation day" has not been determined. But Iran says it has met those commitments earlier than expected. The sanctions have cost Iran more than more than $160bn (£102bn) in oil revenue since 2012 alone. Once they are lifted, the country will be able to resume selling oil on international markets and using the global financial system for trade. Iran has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world and the energy industry is braced for lower prices. Iran will also be able to access more than $100bn in assets frozen overseas. Rovers took the lead early on when Kieffer Moore fired Sam Wedgbury's cross in from close range. Danny Carr's penalty drew the visitors level after the break after midfielder Bruno Andrade had been fouled by David Pipe inside the box. And Cameron Norman powered a shot past goalkeeper Steve Arnold in injury time to secure the win for Woking. Rovers are second in the table, now nine points behind local rivals Cheltenham Town with two games to play, while Woking climbed to 14th place. Forest Green boss Ady Pennock told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm extremely disappointed - we should have won the game by five or six. "Especially in the first half, we should have been three or four-nil up - it's just being ruthless in front of goal. "That's what let us down and then to concede two poor goals that just sums up the game, the game should have been dead and buried at half time in my opinion." Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey: Media playback is not supported on this device "We rode our luck a little bit and I was very pleased to be one-nil down at half-time and there is no doubt about that. "We shown a lot of character and I think we tried to play football the right way in the first half. I felt we bossed it in the second half and we were certainly the better side. "It's nice to see one of the young lads Cameron Norman get the goal and we've been waiting a long time not only as a management team but also as supporters. "They come up and come down to be here and everywhere to support us and I am so pleased for them." A new pitch has been laid at Berlin's Olympic Stadium to replace the damaged surface after the Irish band performed a concert there on 12 July. And a spokesperson for the stadium has confirmed to BBC Sport that U2 have paid about 90,000 euros (£80,000) towards the total cost of 130,000 euros (£116,000). Hertha host Liverpool on Saturday, 29 July in a friendly to mark both clubs' 125th anniversaries. "The pitch will be in perfect condition for the game," Olympic Stadium spokesperson Christoph Meyer said. "We've done this a lot of times, sometimes even one day before a match." The 23-year-old Scot, who was seeded sixth, beat Germany's Fabienne Deprez 21-17 21-9 in the final. It is a first major title for the Commonwealth Games and European silver medallist since October 2015. Having recovered from knee surgery, Gilmour was playing in her first international event since last summer's Rio Olympics. "It feels really great to be back on top of that podium," she said. "This tournament went exactly to plan and I've managed to achieve some of the smaller goals that I set myself from the outset, too. "Working with Tat Meng [Scotland's new head coach] is great so far. He's quite relaxed and calm behind the court. It will be interesting to see how we go forward in training from here." The key entries on the Commons agenda are now those for consideration of Lords amendments to an impressive array of government bills which have been mangled by peers. After a week which saw six government defeats in the Upper House, with the potential for plenty more, expect the fabled Parliamentary ping-pong, which sees bills bouncing back and forth between the Lords and Commons to dominate events. Ministers will want to overturn Lords amendments to the Immigration Bill, the Trade Union Bill, the Housing and Planning Bill, the Enterprise Bill and the Energy Bill, or at least negotiate compromises. And the clock is now ticking. As usual, the date for the prorogation of Parliament is left unspecified, but the State Opening, which signals the start of the 2016-17 session, is now inked into the Royal diary for 18 May - which means there's about a month left to get the outstanding legislation through its remaining stages of consideration and any disagreements between the two Houses reconciled. That's not impossible, but the government could find itself having to make concessions to buy off opposition on issues where peers are disinclined to surrender to the will of the Commons, because if a bill is not passed when time runs out, it falls. Imagine a Victorian-gothic High Noon, involving people in knee breeches, snatches of Norman French, parliamentarians sitting through the night, and increasingly tetchy negotiations in panelled offices, and you begin to get the picture. But with big issues to be resolved, it's a very high-stakes game. So aside from the outcome of actual votes in the Lords, watch how long the debates take - because the time factor becomes increasingly crucial at this time of year. Here's my rundown of the week ahead. The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Defence questions - and that is followed by Backbench Business Committee debates. First Labour's Siobhain McDonagh raises the introduction of the National Living Wage and related changes to employee contracts - she is worried that some employers are cutting overall remuneration packages to offset the cost of its introduction, leaving thousands of low-paid employees significantly worse off. She has already highlighted the case of workers being forced to sign new contracts with cuts in Sunday and bank holiday pay, bonuses abolished, and London weighting hugely cut. The second debate, on educational attainment in Yorkshire and the Humber is led by Labour's Jo Cox, Conservative Martin Vickers and the Lib Dem, Greg Mulholland. The motion calls for the government to address the underlying reasons for the under-performance in the region. The adjournment debate, led by Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick, is on the Metropolitan Police Special Enquiry Team investigation into electoral fraud in Tower Hamlets. Last year, the Election Court voided the election of Lutfur Rahman as Mayor of Tower Hamlets in 2014, and barred him from standing for public office for five years. Mr Fitzpatrick is concerned that the police and the Crown Prosecution Service now say they will be taking no further action in this case. He says the people who challenged the election are owed their costs. In Westminster Hall (4.30pm) MPs will debate E-petition 105660 on funding for research into brain tumours. In the Lords (2.30pm), questions to ministers cover additional runway capacity at London's airports, the extent to which general road traffic laws are enforced on cyclists, and the effect of EU withdrawal on the UK tourism and hospitality industries. Then, peers continue with the report stage of the Housing and Planning Bill - where the key issues are concerned with "pay to stay" and secure tenancies. Having taken some stinging defeats, Labour sources say the government now realises it needs to make concessions on the detail of the bill - so it is not yet clear whether they plan to force any of their amendments to a vote. The Commons sits at 11.30am for Treasury questions, after which the Conservative Anne Main will present a ten minute rule bill to require farm produce to be labelled to show its country of origin and whether it meets animal welfare standards. The day's main legislating is on the Bank of England and Financial Services Bill (report and third reading). The bill makes a series of detailed technical changes to the internal governance and oversight of the Bank, its senior managers' regulatory regime, pensions guidance and advice; and the rules on bank notes issued by banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The adjournment debate, led by the Conservative Robert Jenrick, is on the treatment of UK citizens returning from fighting against so-called Islamic State, or Daesh/ISIL - he believes hundreds of UK citizens have volunteered to fight with Kurdish forces against IS, or Daesh, including some vulnerable people and many are ex-servicemen, and he is concerned that the government appears to have no policy on how it regards them. Should they be seen as allies or are they suspected terrorists? Mr Jenrick has a constituent, Aidan Aslin of Newark, who was arrested on his return and spent weeks waiting to see if he would be charged with any offence. In Westminster Hall, the day's debates cover unaccompanied children (9.30am); children's homes (2.30pm) and regional variations in the rate of teenage pregnancy (4.30pm). In the Lords, peers will be dealing with the latest round of Commons amendments to the Enterprise Bill - where ministers have now accepted Labour's amendment which asks the pubs code adjudicator to ensure PubCos do not "game" the code. They have now deleted the Lib Dem peer, Lord Teverson's Green Investment Bank amendment, but have implemented it in practice by creating a special share structure that maintains the bank's focus on environmental issues. After that the House moves to day two of report stage consideration of the Trade Union Bill, where a series of issues are likely to be pushed to a vote. There's an amendment on retaining the "check-off" system allowing payroll deduction of union subscriptions, on the powers of the Certification Officer for Trade Unions, and the implementation date for the facility time and check-off clauses of the bill. The Commons meets at 11.30am for Northern Ireland questions, followed by Prime Minister's questions, at noon. Next comes a Ten Minute Rule Bill on Forensic Linguistics (Standards) - from the SNP MP Roger Mullin. He wants to bring in a professional register to guarantee the standards of practitioners of a new discipline that can, for example, identify that an apparently innocuous conversation online is, in fact, aimed at sexual grooming of young people or terrorist recruitment. Learn more about PMQs Evidence from forensic linguists is accepted in American and other foreign courts, but not in the UK - although it is used in law enforcement. A register would help the courts to accept evidence of properly-qualified specialists, Mr Mullen argues. After that, it's ping-pong time - as MPs react to Lords amendments to the Energy Bill - the government has lost several votes in the Lords on onshore wind generating stations and the remit of the new Oil and Gas Authority. Then there are two debates chosen by the Backbench Business Committee, on recognition of genocide by Daesh (IS) against Yazidis, Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities and on record copies of Acts - this is a move to overturn the decision to abandon the centuries-old practice of printing acts of parliament on vellum, scraped goat's skin. Vellum is known to last for centuries, and the parliamentary archives included original documents personally signed by Tudor monarchs. There was a move to save money by switching to printing them on special archive paper, but the break with tradition has met strong opposition in the Commons - and the House authorities are not planning to resist it, after government ministers announced they would meet the cost of continuing to use vellum. In Westminster Hall, there are debates led by backbench MPs on the effect of aircraft noise on local communities (9.30am); the future of the Cardiff coal exchange (11am); the UK dairy sector (2.30pm); government policy on the trade in small weapons (4pm) and Western Sahara and self-determination (4.30pm). In the Lords. the day's main legislation is the continuation of the marathon report stage of the Housing and Planning Bill - where peers will focus on the sections dealing with client money protection and local plans. They may also move onto other planning issues, if time allows. Dinner break business is on progress towards the introduction of the Horseracing Betting Right, the proposal to replace the existing horserace betting levy with a new charge administered directly by the racing industry. The Commons meets at 9.30am for questions to the Culture, Media and Sport department, the House of Commons Commission (the Commons administrative arm) and questions to the Leader of the House, Chris Grayling. He then remains at the despatch box to deliver the weekly Business Statement on the future agenda of the Commons. The day's main event will be a debate on "An humble Address to mark the occasion of her Majesty the Queen's 90th Birthday", with the PM and the Leader of the Opposition opening proceedings. And the Lords begin their day (11am) with a parallel debate on their own Humble Address. Then, after half an hour of questions to ministers, peers turn to the detail of the Northern Ireland (Stormont Agreement and Implementation Plan) Bill - where the main issues are tackling paramilitarism and balanced budgets. There will also be a short debate on the report of the Lords Communications Committee on BBC Charter Review: Reith not revolution. The Commons is not sitting. The Lords (at 10am) continues its work on private members' bills, rubber-stamping a couple of uncontroversial measures - the Criminal Cases Review Commission (Information) Bill and the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Alcohol Limits) (Amendment) Bill before moving onto the (still not very controversial) House of Commons (Members' Fund) (No.2) Bill. The main action will be on the committee stage debate on the day's final measure, the Council Tax Valuation Bands Bill, from the Conservative peer, Lord Marlesford who argues that it is "not acceptable in today's world that the most expensive property pays only three times the amount of the humblest and cheapest property", and proposes a series on new valuation bands: The valuation would be based on sale price after April 2000 - and homes not sold since that date would keep their old council tax valuation. This is, to put it mildly, a sensitive issue - the Coalition government promised a revaluation of properties for council tax but never actually started the process - and the current valuations date from the 1990s. But any move to revalue would push up bills and possibly trigger furious protests. Four workers died when the boiler house at the Didcot A plant partially collapsed on 23 February. The Home Office and Ministry of Defence (MoD) has now approved the deployment of military aid to support the work, Thames Valley Police said. The force said the MoD would provide equipment and personnel which it claimed would speed-up the recovery. The MoD said it had provided a remote-controlled vehicle and trained military operators "to assist in clearing hazards and taking the remaining structure down safely". Site-owner RWE Npower previously announced plans to bring down the rest of the "unstable" building by a controlled explosive demolition, but said a plan was still being worked on. Meanwhile, work to recover the men's bodies has been halted because contractors have reached a 50m (164 ft) exclusion zone. The length of time it is taking to recover the bodies of Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, has previously been criticised by some family members. Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion also branded it a "national scandal". Thames Valley Police said: "Our absolute priority remains the recovery of the missing men so they can be returned to their families and to understand what caused this tragic incident." The force added specialist officers were continuing to support the families and were "providing them with daily updates on the progress on this work". The decommissioned Didcot A plant closed in 2013 and demolition work was taking place when it collapsed. The cause is being investigated jointly by police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, has already been recovered from the site. The club claimed Suffolk Police "unlawfully" charged it £200,000 for policing between 2008 and 2013. It said the force should not have charged it for keeping order on the streets around the ground. But the High Court said Suffolk Police was entitled to recover the costs of policing the ground outside the club. Media playback is not supported on this device Farrell headed a clutch of new faces promoted to the 32-man elite squad, while interim head coach Stuart Lancaster discarded a host of veterans. Also included are Scarlets number eight Ben Morgan and Northampton trio Calum Clark, Phil Dowson and Lee Dickson. Mike Tindall, Mark Cueto, Nick Easter, Shontayne Hape and Riki Flutey all failed to make the cut. The retirement of several of the team's stalwarts and a string of injuries forced some changes, while others were always likely following a dismal World Cup campaign that ended in quarter-final defeat by France. World Cup winners Jonny Wilkinson, former skipper Lewis Moody and hooker Steve Thompson all announced their retirements after returning from New Zealand. If anyone had been in any doubt, the old England regime - damaged and discredited by what happened on and off the pitch in New Zealand last autumn - has gone for good. In new boys Owen Farrell, Brad Barritt, Lee Dickson and Calum Clark, interim coach Stuart Lancaster has picked what he hopes will form the basis of England's team at the next World Cup. This is a fresh look designed for a fresh start Read Tom's blog on new-look England Among the short-term injured are fly-half Toby Flood, centre Manu Tuilagi and lock Courtney Lawes, while prop Andrew Sheridan, lock Louis Deacon and scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth are out for the tournament. Farrell's midfield partner at Saracens, Brad Barritt, also made Lancaster's first squad, as did prop Joe Marler and centre Jordan Turner-Hall (both of Harlequins) and Wasps hooker Rob Webber. Flankers Tom Wood and Chris Robshaw are widely considered to be vying for the captaincy but Lancaster said he would make that decision nearer the first match, against Scotland at Murrayfield on 4 February. Four members of the Saxons squad will join the elite squad as temporary injury cover - second rows Dave Atwood of Bath and Geoff Parling of Leicester, Saracens full-back Alex Goode and Gloucester centre Henry Trinder, the last three all uncapped. Lancaster said: "We've picked a side which is exciting, talented and committed to get us back to where we want to be - at the top of the game. "I've spoken to those not selected and told them the door is not closed. "But I want to use this Six Nations as an opportunity to develop the next players in those positions and develop a leadership group that is strong and wants to be the best. "We think it's a tremendous opportunity to build a squad that has potential for now and for the future. "We trust the players we have selected - a lot have been involved for a while and have been to the World Cup. "They have been on the cusp of it for a while. Now they deserve their chance after proving themselves in big games for their clubs." While Lancaster has yet to decide on his captain, he challenged senior players, including Northampton's Wood, Harlequins' Robshaw, Flood and his Leicester half-back partner Ben Youngs, to make their case. He added: "The most important thing is to get the leadership group right. We need to develop a new group of leaders. From there, natural leaders will emerge." Farrell began last season playing for Bedford Blues, as part of a dual registration with Saracens, but was given a chance back at his parent club following injuries at fly-half. He has since emerged as a key figure for Premiership champions Saracens and will now join his coach and father Andy in the England set-up. With Flood injured for the first two games, Farrell, 20, could form a midfield partnership with Saracens fly-half Charlie Hodgson, although Barritt has made the Sarries number 12 jersey his own this season. Morgan is included after declaring his allegiance for his native country. The Bristol-born 22-year-old also had the option of playing for Wales after qualifying under the three-year residency rule. With Danny Care suspended after his drink-driving charge and Wigglesworth among those on the injured list, scrum-half Dickson's inclusion was widely expected after some fine displays in the Aviva Premiership this season. Dowson, 30, has been on the fringes of the England senior squad for several years now, while his Saints back-row partner Clark, 22, is perhaps the boldest selection. While back-row James Haskell is unavailable as he enjoys a sabbatical in Japan, Lancaster included Stade Francais lock Tom Palmer as an exception to the Rugby Football Union's stated intention to only pick home-based players.

The Grand Tour presenter was admitted to hospital on Friday after falling ill while on a family holiday in Majorca. The 57-year-old posted a message on social media saying: "To keep you up to date, I'll be out of action for quite some time apparently." He said it was "really annoying" as he had never had a day off work. Clarkson also thanked fans for "all the good wishes". On Sunday, it was confirmed the former Top Gear host was being treated in a hospital on the Spanish island. Clarkson shared a photograph of tubes in his arm and his hospital identity tags around his wrist, writing: "Not the sort of bangles I usually choose on holiday." He had been due to return to filming his new Amazon Prime series next week. End of Instagram post by jeremyclarkson1 Clarkson is the second Grand Tour host to be admitted to hospital this year. In June, Hammond, 47, was flown to hospital in Switzerland after crashing an electric super car in Switzerland. The car, which was being filmed for the latest series of The Grand Tour, burst into flames after Hammond escaped the wreckage. The presenter said he thought he was going to die during the incident, during which he became airborne and crashed after completing the Hemberg Hill Climb in Switzerland. End of Instagram post 2 by jeremyclarkson1 Clarkson made light of the situation on social media, saying the show's third co-presenter, James May, was now the only "functioning member" of the Grand Tour team, adding: "God help us." Clarkson was sacked from the BBC's Top Gear in 2015 after punching producer Oisin Tymon in an expletive-laden exchange. Co-presenters Hammond and James May also left the show and followed Clarkson to Amazon Prime. Clarkson apologised to Mr Tymon for the "unprovoked physical and verbal attack". Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Media playback is not supported on this device If they beat Notts County at a sold out Rodney Parade on Saturday, they will avoid relegation from the Football League four years after re-emerging from the football wilderness of the non-leagues. Not bad for a side 11 points adrift of safety in League Two before caretaker boss Mike Flynn took over in March. They might not even need to win. If title-chasing Doncaster win at Hartlepool it does not matter what County do, but supporters can expect those fingernails nibbled close to the quick on a monumental afternoon for club football in Wales. For those long-associated with Newport football this weekend has a familiar feel. Forty years ago, in 1977, Newport were staring down the barrel of losing their Football League status before executing their original incredible escape. For Flynn this time, back then read Colin Addison, who took over in the January as manager with County eight points from safety at the bottom of the League pyramid. Then it took five wins on the bounce, culminating in a 1-0 win home victory over Workington, to save the club. This time the stakes are even higher. Back in 1977, Newport would have applied for re-election to the League. This time, for Flynn and his men, failure on Saturday and the National League yawns wide and very unwelcome. Addison, now 76, recalls the dramatic end to that 1976-77 season and has some words of advice for the man looking to follow in his footsteps. "When I took over in the January, we were rock bottom, we had it all to do. We looked doomed," Addison told BBC Wales Sport. "But it was a massive effort from all at the club. We just kept going, the lads saw it through, it became known as 'the great escape' and right now I want to see Mike Flynn do the same. "Since Mike has taken over he's done a superb job. There's going to be a big crowd and a great atmosphere and, hopefully, Newport will finish the job. "There were plenty of words (before the Workington game), but the big one was motivation. That's the important one to any manager at any level. "But the lads were superb, they responded to me, they responded to my words. I looked to them to be bold and brave. Be positive and make things happen and Mike will be doing all that now. "I'm quietly confident they will do it. And I will be there." Also amongst what looks likely to be a record crowd for a football game at Rodney Parade will be one of the men on the pitch in that massive Workington clash, former defender John Relish who also went on to manage Newport. "I think it is actually the biggest game in the club's history, they've just got to get that result," said Relish. "To be honest I am getting a bit nervous. Obviously I remember the game against Workington which we had to win. "I thought County were down and out when they were 11 points adrift and that's why I say there are parallels. "In 1977 Colin Addison came in and he was just like a breath of fresh air and Michael Flynn's done something similar this time around. That rings bells with me from all those years ago." And Relish too has every faith in Flynn this weekend, after all, he has known the 36-year-old County caretaker boss a rather long time. "I remember Michael when he was 14 when he came to the club's academy, which I was running then," he added. "He stood out then. He was a chirpy, confident lad. He had real character and a bounce about him. "You knew he was going to make a career as a footballer and even then it was not a stretch to think he would go on and be a coach and manager. He just wanted to know everything. "I'm delighted, he's a first class lad and Newport through and through." There have been plenty of kind words said and written about Flynn ahead of this epic encounter and, if The Great Escape II is achieved this weekend, one more will surely be added to him at his hometown club. And that word is legend. The UK prime minister, currently on a trade visit to the country, initially confused users as his account had not been verified by officials. But the embassy in Beijing later confirmed its authenticity, stating: "Big boss has come to Weibo!" One user asked if China's President Xi Jinping would also open an account. Mr Cameron is visiting the country with more than 100 UK business leaders and is hoping to help smooth the way towards a free trade agreement between China and the European Union. He launched his own microblog account on Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, which has more than 300 million users, last Friday, according to BBC Monitoring. By 12:00 GMT on Monday his offerings, written in Mandarin, had gathered almost 159,000 followers. However, soon after the account started, users doubted whether it was real until the British embassy re-tweeted the prime minister's opening message, along with the "big boss" moniker. This appeared to excite many Chinese, who sent in their questions. Some wondered why China's own political leaders had so far chosen to stay away from social media platforms, with one asking: "When will President Xi open a Weibo account?" Several inquired about whether the visa application for entry to the UK could be simplified. Many users asked Mr Cameron, who must return to London by Thursday for Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement on the economy, to let them on the plane with him. "I beg you to take me away. We don't have universal free medical care here," said Quanqiuremen. Mr Cameron's visit has also brought back some bitter memories of British imperialism from the past two centuries. "Mr prime minister, are you bringing opium with you?" asked "Yongmian", referring to the Opium Wars in the 19th Century. "When will you compensate us for the Old Summer Palace?" asked Glorious Ming, in a rebuke to British and French forces for burning down the Chinese imperial garden in 1860. The more contemporary clash between the two countries over China's human rights record, particularly in Tibet, has also featured prominently in the online discussions. Cameron's meeting with the Dalai Lama a year ago, which angered Chinese leaders and led to a freeze in top-level contacts, was mentioned. "Dalai's friend has come to China for our silver," said Wuyanliuju. But some users accused Mr Cameron of not doing enough to promote human rights. One, West Sea Fisherman, urged him to "go back" if he did not mention the issue at high-level intergovernmental meetings. "We do not welcome foreign leaders who care nothing about human rights in our country," he added. Mr Cameron's UK Twitter account has more than 500,000 followers. Conservation charity WWF says almost half of the world's 200 designated natural heritage sites are "plagued" by wildlife criminals. These include the last refuges for critically endangered javan rhinos and wild tigers. The authors say more co-ordination is needed to target the whole crime chain. From the Great Barrier Reef to the Galapagos Islands and at many other locations across the globe, Unesco has designated around 200 natural World Heritage sites as being of outstanding international importance and deserving of the highest levels of protections. WWF looked at the threats to species that are already protected under the Convention on the International Trades in Endangered Species (CITES). The authors found that these threatened animals and plants are poached or illegally harvested in 45% of natural World Heritage sites. Many of the parks in the study are home to critically endangered creatures - including Ujung National Park in Indonesia, which is the last stand for around 60 javan rhinos. The Okavango Delta World Heritage site in Botswana is a key location for elephants in the north of the country, which make up almost a third of all remaining African elephants. "You have got the world's most cherished species on the one hand, and on the other the world's most cherished sites, they are inextricably linked," said Dr Colman O'Criodain from WWF. "Of course there's the economic value of these sites, but these are special places, they give you a lump in your throat when you see them and if we really want to cherish these we all have to step up." Between 1970 and 2012 global wildlife populations declined by almost 60% on average. According to the report, what's going on here is not just unsustainable practices in fishing and logging, but criminality. The illegal trade in species is said to be worth around £15bn ($19bn) a year, with the unlicensed timber trade said to be responsible for up to 90% of deforestation in major tropical countries. Over a two year period, the illegal rosewood trade in Madagascar has cost locals up to $200m in lost income. Like many other locations, simply designating an important site as part of world heritage, isn't enough by itself to stall the criminals. "In the case of Madagascar there is a lot of corruption and weakness of government on their side and there is complicity among highly placed people in what is going on but support from importing countries and the wider international communities will help a lot," said Dr O'Criodain. The report points out that the illegal trade in species at natural heritage sites is having a significant impact on people's livelihoods as the disappearance of rare animals and plants can deter tourists. In Belize, for example, more than half of the entire population are supported by income generated through reef tourism and fisheries. There is also a more direct and deadly human cost in terms of lives lost, with at least 595 park rangers killed protecting key sites between 2009 and 2016. Current approaches to stemming illegal trade are just not working, the study concludes. It suggests that rapidly increased co-operation between CITES and the World Heritage Convention could help turn the tide. "This report provides a range of options to further enhance co-ordination between CITES and the World Heritage Convention, focused around World Heritage sites," said John Scanlon, Director General of the trade convention. "It is essential that CITES is fully implemented and that these irreplaceable sites are fully protected. In doing so, we will benefit our heritage and our wildlife, provide security to people and places, and support national economies and the rural communities that depend on these sites for their livelihoods."

The land's owners, Associated British Foods (ABF), said its development would include housing and public open spaces on the 104 acre (42 hectare) site. David Mills, of ABF, said he wanted to hear the views of local people on the scheme. York City Council is applying for government grants to make the housing energy and water efficient and to pay for green transport initiatives. David Mills said the open space would be "equivalent to the size of Rowntree Park". The plans are on public display in York over the next few days. If planning permission is approved, work is expected to start within 12 months. The embassy condemned the "deplorable behaviour" and said the staff member would be strongly disciplined. Israel's ambassador was summoned by the Singapore government over the incident, local media report. Singapore's foreign ministry said the "misuse" of its flag was considered a serious offence. Images of the flag draped over a table at a party allegedly hosted by the diplomat were posted online on Monday by a user who said a police report had been filed. He accused the foreign party host of having "no respect for our country and our flag". In a press statement, the Israeli embassy said it "was appalled to learn of the deplorable behaviour displayed by one of its junior staff members and expresses its sincere apologies". Almost 100 metres of paper were used to create the 3.7m long boat - which can carry one person at a time. The boat was launched by school children on Southwark Park boating lake. Engineer Morwenna Wilson captained the maiden voyage. She said: "I really want to show young people that this career can open doors to amazing opportunities and adventures." The paper boat, designed by a group of engineers, was launched to promote The Big Bang Fair - a celebration of science and technology for young people which takes place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 11-14 March. According to the figures, German exports climbed 1.2% to 1.2 trillion euros in 2016, while imports rose 0.6% to 954.6bn euros. This left a surplus of 252.9bn euros, up from 244.3bn euros in 2015. It comes days after Donald Trump's top trade advisor accused Germany of exploiting the euro to boost exports. In an interview with the Financial Times last week, Peter Navarro alleged the euro was a German currency in disguise, and this gave Germany an unfair advantage over the US and other nations. A low currency makes goods cheaper to sell abroad. German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected the claims, however, stressing it always been her country's policy that the European Central Bank should pursue an independent monetary policy. The German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said that the euro was in fact too weak for Germany. "The reality is the euro is priced at a level that is a weighted average of all euro zone countries and that will always mean that for some countries that is a too competitive rate leading to a trade surplus and that is certainly the case with Germany." More generally, Germany says it has tried to boost its levels of domestic demand - and thus boost imports - to offset its large trade surpluses. Measures include introducing a national minimum wage in 2015 and increasing state spending on infrastructure, pensions and digital infrastructure. Dele Alli tapped in inside the first two minutes after Christian Eriksen's low shot had been blocked. Kane then stroked in the second from the spot after Alli, who came off with an illness at half-time, was fouled in trying to follow up Kane's saved shot. He then fired his second of the night from 15 yards after Eriksen had dispossessed Martin Olsson. The victory lifts Spurs up to third, above Arsenal on goal difference. Norwich could find themselves in the bottom three on Wednesday if Newcastle defeat Everton. Re-live the action from Carrow Road All the action from Tuesday's Premier League matches Media playback is not supported on this device Keegan-Toshack, Cole-Beardsley, Shearer-Sheringham - Kane and Alli just seem to have an understanding that some of the game's legendary link-ups possessed. The wholesome twosome have formed a formidable attack at Spurs. Alli has had a hand in 10 goals in his last 13 Premier League games for Spurs, and Kane has scored eight in his last eight. They are a fantasy football player's dream combo. Kane was his usual hungry self - snapping at the heels of the last defender. He should have got his reward for his doggedness when late in the game he stole the ball from Youssouf Mulumbu, surged towards goal but saw his shot rebound off the post. However, with seconds remaining he did grab his second when he pounced on the loose ball after good work from Eriksen and fired past Declan Rudd. As for Alli, he only played a cameo today, but it was a memorable one. The 19-year-old is both a threat outside the area and inside, as proved today. He anticipated brilliantly for the first, and repeated the trick when he won the penalty, which was conceded by Sebastian Bassong. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said he was brought off at half-time because he felt unwell. Spurs fans will be praying he is fit for Saturday's home clash against Watford. The Canaries were the most active team in the transfer window, but have they made the right purchases? One of their buys was Portuguese right-back Ivo Pinto. He made his debut in the 5-4 defeat against Liverpool, and followed that up with a truly awful first-half display against Spurs. He allowed Christian Eriksen far too much space down that flank and was then put into a spin by Kane, who forced a good save from the impressive Declan Rudd. At the other end, there was little bite. Tall forward Dieumerci Mbokani looked the most potent, and had his side's best chance - a low drive that keeper Hugo Lloris was equal to. Another new signing Steven Naismith had a relatively quiet game, but perhaps the Scot, his team-mates and manager Alex Neil will have been slightly aggrieved that a penalty was not awarded when he fell under the challenge of defender Kevin Wimmer. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich manager Alex Neil: "Once you concede in the first minute and a half, we make it difficult for ourselves. "The Spurs penalty is the softest penalty I've seen all season. We didn't get the fair share of the decisions and that cost us. "If it was a clear penalty, I'd be the first to hold my hands up. The next game becomes huge for us now." Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino: "The performance was very good. I'm happy with three points. The first half was fantastic. "Dele felt unwell, but he's OK now. "Harry is still very young and has big potential to improve." Norwich face what you can call a relegation six-pointer against Villa at home on Saturday.

Crimea's leader says he will apply to join Russia on Monday. Russia's Vladimir Putin has said he will respect the Crimean people's wishes. Many Crimeans loyal to Kiev boycotted the referendum, and the EU and US condemned it as illegal. Pro-Russian forces took control of Crimea in February. They moved in after Ukraine's pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovych was ousted after street protests. Mr Putin and US President Barack Obama spoke over the phone earlier, with the Kremlin and the White House later releasing contrasting accounts of the conversation. By Chris MorrisBBC News, Kiev Kiev seeks West response The Kremlin said both men agreed to seek a way to stabilise Ukraine, and that Mr Putin had stressed that the Kiev government had failed to curb "rampant violence by ultra-nationalists". The White House said Mr Obama had insisted that the referendum was illegal and would never be accepted, and called for Moscow to support an international monitoring mission in eastern Ukraine. The EU said in a statement that the vote was "illegal and illegitimate and its outcome will not be recognised". EU foreign ministers are due to meet on Monday and are expected to consider imposing sanctions on Russian officials. Sergei Aksyonov, Crimea's leader installed last month after the Russian takeover, celebrated the referendum on stage in Simferopol. Backed by the Russian national anthem, Russian flags, and the personnel of Russia's Black Sea fleet, he told supporters that Crimea was "going home". Wording of ballot paper Law and order breakdown Is Russian intervention legal? Mr Aksyonov said Crimea's parliament, which was disbanded by the government in Kiev last week, would send a formal request to Moscow to join Russia on Monday. Some 58% of people in Crimea are ethnic Russian, with the rest made up of Ukrainians and Tatars. Most of the Tatars that the BBC spoke to said they had boycotted the vote, and felt that life under the Kremlin would be worse. Refat Chubarov, leader of the Tatars' unofficial parliament, said the referendum was illegal, and held in a hasty manner under the control of Russian troops. "The fate of our motherland cannot be decided in such a referendum under the shadows of the guns of soldiers," he told the BBC. The Tatars were deported to Central Asia by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. They were only able to return with the fall of the Soviet Union and many want to remain in Ukraine. But the referendum did not have an option for those who wanted the constitutional arrangements to remain unchanged. Voters were asked whether they wanted to join Russia, or have greater autonomy within Ukraine. Away from the Crimea region, unrest continued in the south-east Ukrainian city of Donetsk. Pro-Russian protesters stormed the prosecutor's building shouting "Donetsk is a Russian city", and then broke into the local security services headquarters for the second time in two days. They later dispersed but promised to return on Monday. In a continuation of December's Santa rally, blue chip stocks rose by 14.18 points to close at a record 7,120.26. Randgold Resources and Fresnillo led the FTSE 100 climbers for a second day, each rising by more than 4%. Stocks were lifted by gold prices which grew 1.5% to $1,158.1 an ounce. Investors boosted gold as the yield on 10-year US bonds fell while the dollar fell to a 15-day low against the yen. Sterling rose against the dollar at $1.2250. Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior market analyst at London Capital Group, said: "The dollar fall was mostly due to renewed doubts about the US recovery after pending home sales dropped in November." Recent data revealed that US pending home sales fell by 2.5% in November, compared to economists' expectations of a 0.5% rise. Ashtead Group was the day's biggest faller in London, down 2.3%. Industrial equipment hire company Ashtead is traditionally a strong performer in December, according to the Harriman Stock Market Almanac, and over the month its share price is still up by 4%. Smiths Group, another industrial stock, was also one of the biggest fallers, losing 1.67%. Media playback is not supported on this device Froome, 30, leads the race but has had to defend himself against accusations of using performance-enhancing drugs. On Sunday, a commentator on French TV questioned his dominant Stage 10 win. "We thought we'd give people concrete numbers and facts," said Brailsford. On Tuesday - the race's second rest day - Brailsford invited Team Sky's head of performance Tim Kerrison to reveal the real numbers behind Froome's display at La Pierre-Saint-Martin. It took place on 14 July and saw Froome launch a devastating attack with 6.4km left that culminated with the Team Sky rider winning the stage and also taking significant time out of all his major rivals. Team Sky's unprecedented decision to release the data - likened to a Formula 1 team allowing rivals to examine its cars - comes after French TV had suggested the amount of power generated by Froome on his climb was "abnormally high". Froome, who has a lead of three minutes and 10 seconds with five stages remaining, has previously described critics on social media who try to interpret power data as "clowns", adding that it means nothing without context. "From a public relations point of view it has probably been the right response to release the information," said Bob Howden, president of British Cycling. "But it could be challenging for Team Sky if it gives further oxygen to conspiracy theorists who might not appreciate the context and the content of the data being put before them. "You cannot prove that you are doing nothing, all you can do is create a culture where people develop trust in what you are doing." Froome is unsure whether the release of the data will convince sceptics, but welcomes the team's desire for transparency. "I'm not sure if numbers are going to fix everything," said Froome. "Certainly I feel as a team and myself, we're definitely trying to be as open and transparent as possible. "We've been asked more questions than any other team. I've been asked more questions than any other general classification contender. I'd like to think we're answering those questions. "I really am focused on the racing side of things. I've worked too long to let anything throw me off. That's all just happening on the side." Froome's Tour rivals have defended the Briton, criticising the lack of respect being shown and complaining he is being tarnished by previous doping scandals in the sport. Nairo Quintana, Movistar: "There are always good and bad comments, there are always fanatics in one way or another, rivalries between countries - for that reason you get certain comments. "For me, there's been a little bit of lack of respect for the sportsmen and if anyone should judge, it's the testers." Tejay van Garderen, BMC: "I think it's pretty unfair for him. He's definitely dealing with the aftermath of what other people have done before him. "I think he's a talented rider who definitely pays close attention to detail. I don't think his ride on Saint-Martin [stage 10] was out of this world like some people said. "If I look at the numbers that I did and the time he did, it's clear he dealt with the heat and dealt with the rest day better than other people did." Alejandro Valverde, Movistar: "It's not a surprise that he's leading the Tour - he's already won a lot in his career. "It's a lynching. He's a great rider with a strong head, but I don't know if he's paying for all this pressure he's enduring." BBC Sport's Matt Slater in France: "Team Sky's decision to release the performance data for the climb that may end up winning this race is a bit like Mercedes F1 letting the rest of paddock have a good look under the bonnet or an NFL team posting its playbook online. "This is the intellectual property that Team Sky believe sets them apart from the rest, and they have only previously shared it with the anti-doping authorities. "They have done it out of frustration at how the low-level sniping Froome has faced in recent years has opened up into an all-out assault. "Will it work? Probably not: there is no agreed formula for a Tour champion and sports scientists like an argument as much as the rest of the us. "But Team Sky felt they had to address the false picture portrayed on French television on Sunday when Sir Dave Brailsford was ambushed by an "expert" wielding guesstimates. "It might have made for good TV but it was decidedly iffy science." The German carmaker did not reveal the exact amount it would pay dealers, but the Reuters news agency reported that it could be close to $1.2bn (£911m). Last year, it was revealed that VW diesel cars were fitted with software that could disguise emissions levels. The scandal hit sales of VW cars in the US, prompting 650 dealerships to start a class action against the company. "We believe this agreement in principle with Volkswagen dealers is a very important step in our commitment to making things right for all our stakeholders in the United States," said Hinrich Woebcken, chief executive of VW's North American region. Last year, US regulators discovered software had been installed in diesel engines to detect when they were being tested, and so improve test results. Sales of VW cars in the US fell by 14.6% in the first six months of 2016 compared with the same period a year earlier. Steve Berman, a lawyer representing the dealers, said that VW franchise owners who had invested millions in their businesses had been "financially hurt" by the scandal. He told a court in Seattle that the agreement would have a "therapeutic effect" to help heal VW's relationship with its dealers and its customers. The deal still needs official court approval, and the settlement does not end VW's legal struggles. The company still has to decide if it is going to pay to fix or buy-back 3-litre diesel engine cars affected by the scandal. In June, the company reached a deal with the US government to buy back 500,000 2-litre vehicles at their pre-scandal value. VW is also facing several civil lawsuits launched by owners of the affected vehicles. Attorneys General in states including New York and Maryland have launched their own legal action alleging VW executives took steps to hide the use of the software. Outside the US, VW still faces multiple investigations by regulators. John McGinn, 56, saved the girl, whom he knew, from a fire at her house in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, in 1994. The now-retired firefighter later raped her and threatened to kill her mother if she told anyone. The girl, now aged 30, later contacted police. An investigation of McGinn's past led to him being convicted of six charges against the girl and others. McGinn was back at the High Court in Glasgow for sentencing having been convicted of the charges in June. The case, however, was adjourned until later this month. Earlier, the court heard that McGinn denied raping the young girl after he was arrested by police. He told detectives: "It's a downright lie - it did not happen. No chance. For her to come out with that is ridiculous. I would rather put a bullet in my own head than be a paedophile." He added: "Hanging is too good for a paedophile." McGinn, from Bellshill, claimed the victim had previously tried to blackmail him as she knew he had a lucrative fire brigade pension. He claimed the rape allegation was payback for not giving her money. The jury heard, however, that McGinn had assaulted another young girl and given her sweets and juice to keep her quiet. The court also heard from a woman, aged 50, who had lived with McGinn in the Bellshill area, in the 1980s. She said she had suffered years of sexual and physical violence from him and described McGinn as "monster". The woman told the court that she was repeatedly raped by McGinn and had eventually snapped and chased him with a knife after he tied her to a bed and sexually assaulted her.

However, no agreement has been reached about covering calls that are not immediately life-threatening. The Ambulance Service said these account for about 60% of 999 calls. An estimated 60% of accident and emergency crews and 80% of rapid response paramedics plan to strike. Jimmy Kelly of the Unite union said "people who are frontline paramedics and in the ambulance service will be able to make the call on what emergency services are provided". "Our concern is that in the past, when we've provided emergency cover it has been abused - it has turned into everything being made an emergency and made a farce of any agreement that we've made," he said. "What we're saying is that we want to highlight the lack of services and the money that is being taken out of the service." In a statement, the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) said it was expecting "a high level of participation in strike action which will impact significantly upon our ability to deliver our full range of services and will also jeopardise patient care and safety". It said 999 calls assessed as immediately life-threatening including people experiencing chest pain, unconsciousness, choking and severe blood loss. "While acknowledging their right to so do, NIAS regrets that the trade unions have pursued this line of action which withdraws emergency services for the majority of those who have need of it and puts lives at risk," it said. Talks between Northern Ireland's health unions and management have been taking place in Belfast over emergency cover during the strike. It is understood that most nurses are not taking part. Paramedics have told the BBC that while members have not agreed to take part, they do not intend to cross the picket line and this would mean that there would be gaps in the system. At a meeting on Wednesday, the trade unions and employers agreed that the statutory obligations to provide safe services and respect trade unions' right to take industrial action would be met. In the past, members of St John Ambulance stepped in. It is understood that this time, volunteers are not keen to be seen crossing a picket line. A number of services from various sectors in Northern Ireland are expected to be disrupted due to the planned strike. The colt is seeking to build on his successes in the Dante Stakes and Eclipse Stakes as well as at Epsom. But as he attempts to make it six wins from six career starts, Gosden warns he faces "probably his biggest test so far". Frankie Dettori will once again take the mount on the son of the stallion Cape Cross, owned by his breeder Anthony Oppenheimer. Gosden, who is likely to also run Eagle Top and Romsdal, said: "Golden Horn's been fine since the Eclipse and even progressed physically - he's filled out. "We always thought that he was a good, proper horse, but he just seems that much more streetwise - harder and tougher now." However, he added: "These are proper older horses taking him on, four really smart ones. Don't rule the rest out, don't rule the Italian horse Dylan Mouth out." Golden Horn will be the only member of the Classic-aged generation in a field of up to 10 runners. The field also includes the first three home in Royal Ascot's Hardwicke Stakes - Snow Sky, Eagle Top and Postponed - who are all four-year-olds. Also due in the line-up is the highly talented Flintshire, runner-up to Treve in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Last year's runner-up Telescope misses the race following a setback. Gosden is twice a King George winner with the three-year-olds Taghrooda in 2014 and Nathaniel (2011). He said: "The clashing of the generations is the whole essence of what this race is all about. The race did go through a stage where it became one dimensional; it was only older horses and small fields. "What grabs you is when the three-year-olds run too." While the trainer is being characteristically diplomatic about Golden Horn's prospects of continuing the winning streak, others are being less so. Luca Cumani, trainer of Postponed, described the race as "in theory, a foregone conclusion". He added: "To me, Golden Horn should win and the rest of us are fighting it out for second." Swede Kristoffer Broberg (66) finished second on 14 under, securing a spot at next week's Open at Hoylake. Home favourite Scott Jamieson (64) and Englishman Tyrrell Hatton (68) will join him after finishing in the top 10. Marc Warren shared the overnight lead with Rose but his challenge faltered and he ended third after a 70 for 11 under overall. Scot Stephen Gallacher carded a course record-equalling 63 to finish tied for fourth on 10 under, alongside Matteo Manassero (65), Shane Lowry (66) and Hatton. Jamieson finished tied for eighth on nine under with American Rickie Fowler (65) and Sweden's Robert Karlsson (66). Defending champion Phil Mickelson (65) was a shot further back. A 67 ensured day one leader Rory McIlroy finished on seven under. Rose's faultless final round, including six birdies, ensured he was in the 60s in all four of his rounds this week. "It's a privilege to win this great championship," he said. "This is my first professional win in Scotland so it means a lot. "This is a great tournament - there's definitely something special about playing golf up here and the golfing crowd are so knowledgeable - I've really got to love this course." Meanwhile, Warren was happy with his form ahead of the Open at Hoylake, and paid tribute to playing partner Rose. "It was another great Scottish Open experience for myself," he said. "On the front nine today, my ball striking was up there with what it's been all week but my putting went cold. Justin was the opposite, he seemed to be putting from outside me all the time but holing them. "Justin was absolutely clinical. He's a cool customer and a great front-runner." Gallacher's eight-under total for the day, which included nine birdies and one bogey, matched the earlier round of Chilean Felipe Aguilar, who finished on four under. "I'm delighted with that, it was a great round today, I've played great all week and it was nice to hole a few putts," Gallacher told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound. "I'm looking forward to taking that form into Hoylake next week." The 34-year-old has been at Old Trafford since signing from Tottenham in July 2006 and made 42 appearances last season. "I am delighted that this incredible journey is continuing. It's great to have the opportunity to work under Jose Mourinho," he said. "I would like to thank the fans for their unwavering support." Carrick's previous deal - signed back in November 2013 - was set to expire at the end of this month and he had been approached by A-League side Perth Glory about a possible move to Australia. But manager Mourinho sees Carrick as a useful asset as he prepares for his his first season at United. "Michael has a wealth of experience from his many years at the club and that knowledge will be invaluable to me," said the Portuguese. "I am really looking forward to working with him." Carrick shared the holding midfield role with Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger last season. Manchester United had been linked with midfielder Renato Sanches before the 18-year-old completed a move to Bayern Munich in May.

Sources inside the town told BBC Arabic the unit was heading to the frontline about 4km west of Kobane. Turkey finally authorised the Iraqi Kurds to cross the border last week. Kobane has been under siege for six weeks in a battle that has left 800 dead and forced more than 200,000 to flee across the Turkish border. Some 150 Peshmerga fighters had mustered at a holding station about 8 km (5 miles) from Kobane three days ago and on Friday set off towards the town in a dozen jeeps, escorted by armoured vehicles. The Peshmerga waved flags, gave victory signs and chanted "Kobane, Kobane". It is not clear just how many have travelled to Kobane, which is populated largely by Syrian Kurds. A group of 10 Peshmerga had entered Kobane earlier in the week on a scouting mission. The vanguard had discussed deployment and strategy. A senior Kurdish official in Kobane, Anwar Muslim, told Associated Press: "When the Peshmerga and People's Protection Units are fighting together, this boosts the morale of the Kurdish people." The Peshmerga are thought to be equipped with heavy machineguns and anti-tank missiles. The defenders have said such weapons are essential for holding off Islamic State. The US-led coalition is supporting the defenders with air strikes. US Central Command's latest report listed four air strikes on Thursday and Friday around Kobane, "damaging four IS fighting positions and one IS building". In an unexpected shift last week, Ankara succumbed to US pressure to allow Kurds through to join the conflict in Syria. The Turkish authorities have been facing a decades-long insurgency by their own Kurds. Syria has condemned Turkey's decision to allow Iraqi fighters to transit through, describing it as a "blatant violation" of its sovereignty. IS has declared the formation of a caliphate in the large swathes of Syria and Iraq it has seized since 2013. The Royal Engineers regiment sappers, of Grangemouth, Falkirk, were on night-time exercise when the vessel capsized at Cromwell Weir, on the River Trent. One man survived, in what remains the 131 Independent Parachute Squadron's largest peacetime tragedy. About 100 people attended the memorial service at the lock, near Newark. The sappers were taking part in the Trent Chase, an 80-mile night exercise from Stoke to Hull, on 28 September 1975. They unwittingly went over the weir, known locally as the Devil's Cauldron, when conditions were also worsened by a high tide. John Lee, president of the Airborne Engineers' Association, organised the service to remember the soldiers. The former Lt Col, who took part in the exercise that evening, said he knew some of the men who died. He said: "[My memories] are one of complete shock and sadness. Half of the troop had been wiped out overnight." He said the only survivor, Sapper Pat Harkin, was a "strong swimmer" who managed to hold on to the upturned boat. A retired police officer, who did not want to be named, arrived at the scene after electricity board staff, who were fixing navigation lights on the weir, raised the alarm. By the time he arrived, the officer said it was pitch black and he could hear just one man shouting from the water. The officer, then aged 20, along with another member of the force, managed to save him after they rowed out in a small boat. The men were from the 300 Troop 131 Independent Parachute Squadron of the Royal Engineers (Territorial Army) The two-year deal with Premier Oil will see the Aberdeen-based firm provide topside operations and maintenance to the Balmoral Floating Production Vessel (FPV) and the Solan installation. The move secures the future of more than 150 jobs. Wood Group already delivers fabric maintenance services to Balmoral FPV. It has held that contract since 2014. Dave Stewart, chief executive of Wood Group's Asset Life Cycle Solutions business in the eastern region, said: "This contract clearly demonstrates the strong partnership we have developed with Premier Oil in the North Sea; renewing our support of the Balmoral FPV and broadening our delivery to include the Solan field, which came on stream in April 2016. "We have consistently and successfully assured the management of safety and integrity and applied our innovation and technical expertise to maximize uptime and production, whilst also reducing field lift costs. "This will be our continued focus; leveraging both our late life asset management expertise and production enhancing technical solutions as we continue to collaborate with Premier Oil on the safe and effective delivery of this latest contract." Earlier this month, Wood Group reached agreement to take over rival Amec Foster Wheeler in a £2.2bn deal. Michael Warham, from Liverpool, was found by a member of the public with a stab wound in Wayford Close in Meole Brace on 1 August. He was rushed to hospital where he died several days later, West Mercia Police said. Declan Graves, 19, of Dymchurch Road, Liverpool has been charged with murder and is due to appear before magistrates in Telford later. Malaysia's international trade and industry minister, Mustapa Mohamed, told the forum that in the next decade, Asean would grow by 5% a year. Meanwhile, the EU would grow less than 2% a year, he said. As a result, Asean would overtake it in 10 to 15 years' time. The bloc is being touted as the world's seventh largest economy once it is unified. It had a combined gross domestic product (GDP) of more than $2.4tn (£1.6tn) in 2013, according to consultancy AT Kearney. That compares with 13tn euros (£9.4tn) for the EU in the same period. But with a population of more than 600 million, Mr Mohamed said, the region's youthful population gave it a significant edge over Europe's ageing one. "What we need to do in Asean is to grow much faster, so we get there much faster, we overtake faster," he said. His comparisons to the EU stopped there, as he reiterated that the Asean bloc would not have a single monetary policy or central bank, unlike its European counterpart. The Asean Economic Community (AEC) is expected to be formed by the end of this year, with the aim of creating a single market for the free flow of goods, services, investment and labour. But debate over whether it can be a "true" economic community has been a key topic at this year's forum, with regional country and business leaders weighing in. Malaysian budget airline AirAsia's chief executive, Tony Fernandes, told participants at the WEF that by the end of 2015, integration would not solve all of the region's issues, but it would have created a platform. "It will simplify business, it will raise standards and it will bring prosperity," he said. "If there is a true economic community, everyone benefits." But not everyone was optimistic that the benefits would be spread as evenly. Soon Ghee Chua, managing partner for South East Asia at AT Kearney, said the wide disparity among some of the countries in the group would challenge integration plans. "You have some of the richest and some of the poorest countries in the world in Asean," he said, with wealthy Singapore alongside Cambodia and Laos. "The challenges will be around getting the smaller companies and citizens of Asean excited about it and educated on what are the opportunities that are available." Most people were not very familiar with what Asean integration was all about, he added, saying the education process needed to happen soon.

Hooper, 34, retired from playing in April after 138 Premiership appearances for Bath, following spells at Saracens and Yorkshire Carnegie. He had already been confirmed as a member of new director of rugby Todd Blackadder's backroom team. Rock, 31, was previously Championship Yorkshire Carnegie's academy director. The 30-year-old. who has won 18 caps for his country, will move to Sandy Park from the Waratahs this summer. "There's still ambitions to play throughout this year in the June period against the English," Dennis said. "We'll see how we go there and if that doesn't end up being my last game and I move over to England having played 18 Tests, I'll be grateful for that." Dennis, who captained the Waratahs until last season, last played for Australia against Wales in November 2013. "When I negotiated to go over I made the decision that it (international rugby) would be something I'd be giving up," he told BBC Sport from Sydney. "As hard as it was you probably can't have the best of both worlds in terms of experiencing something different and being in a foreign country, and then also playing for your country." Dennis is hopeful that he will be able to see out the current Super Rugby season before making the move to Devon in time for the start of the 2016-17 Premiership campaign. "Ideally I can see out the season with Waratahs and get over in time for pre-season with the Chiefs. It'll mean my season will go for about 18 months this year, but that's fine," he added. "It'll be a lot of rugby and as long as I can get over there with enough time to acquaint myself with the team and learn the way they play the game in time for the trials, and then kick-off the Premiership later in the year, then that'll be enough." Mali were originally banned from global football in March after the country's Sports Minister Housseïni Amion Guindo had dissolved the executive committee of FEMAFOOT. Fifa, who do not look kindly on government interference, had said the ban would only be lifted when the FEMAFOOT board was reinstated. On Saturday, Caf announced that a letter dated 28 April 2017 and signed by Fifa Secretary General Fatma Samoura had confirmed the reinstatement of FEMAFOOT's executive committee, thereby allowing Mali back into the international fold. Caf say Mali are now clear to participate in the Under 17 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon from 14 to 28 May 2017. Ethiopia would have replaced holders Mali at the tournament if the suspension had not been lifted. Mali will be based in Libreville for the U-17s Nations Cup and are set to play in Group B alongside Angola, Niger and Tanzania. The hosts Gabon will take on Cameroon, Ghana and Guinea in Port Gentil in Group A. Admissions in the city went up by 38% between 2009-10 and 2014-15, the second highest figure for a local authority. They also went up by a third in North Lincolnshire and a quarter in Wakefield. Calderdale, Hull, Leeds and Lincolnshire saw a reduction in drink-related problems. The only local authority area that recorded a higher increase in admissions than York was Wolverhampton, with a 39% increase. The figures were collected by Public Health England. They do not record the number of individuals admitted. Dr Charlie Milson, a liver specialist at York Hospital, said the city was regarded as a "bit of a party town", with many visitors. "When they come, part of their concept of having a good evening... is to drink a significant amount of alcohol," he said. Dr Milson also said the cost of alcohol was coming down and people were becoming "more comfortable with drinking large amounts of alcohol. Our natural checks have been removed". Frances Cunning, of Public Health England said: "Alcohol harms individuals, families and communities and it's crucial that, alongside effective local interventions and treatments for those that need it, we look more widely at what affects drinking behaviour, such as marketing and pricing." The body is soon to report to government on reducing alcohol harm that costs the NHS around £3.5 billion a year, she added. The Chief Medical Officers' guideline for both men and women is that it is safest not to drink regularly more than 14 units of alcohol per week, to keep health risks to a low level. It is it also best to spread this evenly over three days or more. A unit is roughly half a pint of normal strength lager (4.1% ABV) but alcoholic content in beer can vary. The number of units varies depending on the size and strength of your drink. Father-of-one Gareth Pugh, 29, from Glynnaeth, Neath Port Talbot, was found in the water at Peterstone Lakes Golf Club, Newport, in February. He was taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales but later died. Gwent Police said a 25-year-old from Glynneath and a 47-year-old from Aberdare were charged with manslaughter by gross negligence. They are due to appear in Cwmbran Magistrates' Court on 22 December. Iain James Clarke, 48, a PC with North Wales Police's major crime team, lost his job and marriage after raping the victim. Judge Rhys Rowlands told Mold Crown Court Clarke had "a quite immature, offensive if not dismissive attitude towards women" at times. He said Clarke, of Northop, Flintshire, did not have "an ounce of remorse". The jury heard the defendant, who served with the Territorial Army in Afghanistan, raped the victim believing "she was up for it" and was unable to resist him. Judge Rowlands said Clarke was a man with a high opinion of himself and the rape of the woman in her 40s in December 2015 showed "a complete lack of any moral compass whatsoever". The court heard Clarke portrayed himself as "the victim of a drunken, consensual dalliance" in which he simply regretted cheating on his wife. Judge Rowlands described it as "drunken risk taking" born out of "your own sense of worth, bordering on sheer arrogance." He added: "You showed a callous indifference to her feelings and an overblown sense of your own importance and raped her." The judge said the defendant maintained he had been treated unfairly by his police colleagues and felt like an outsider after his transfer to North Wales Police from Greater Manchester Police in 2013. Judge Rowlands said his colleagues had behaved responsibly and professionally. Defending barrister Bob Sastry said the rape was not premeditated and was "completely out of character. " "There is no pattern of offending, quite the opposite, " he added. A North Wales Police professional standards investigation is now being carried out. Det Supt Jo Williams of North Wales Police said: "I hope that this outcome gives the people of north Wales confidence in the fact that North Wales Police and its criminal justice partners are committed to bringing those people who perpetrate crimes of this nature to justice no matter who they are." Shortly after opening the Dow Jones was down 9.14 points at 17,669.09, while the S&P 500 edged up 0.81 to 2,056.96. The tech-focused Nasdaq rose 16.99 points to 4,880.35. Janet Yellen is due to speak later in San Francisco on monetary policy, and her comments will be scrutinised for clues as to when rates might rise. Earlier this month, the Fed modified its stance on interest rates, and analysts expect the central bank to start raising rates later this year. Among individual stocks, shares in cruise operator Carnival rose 5.5% after it reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit. The company posted a net profit of $49m for the quarter to 28 February, compared with a loss of $20m a year earlier. Dickins dominated the women's KL3 200m final in Racice, while Martin Tweedie took bronze in the men's VL3 200m. Robert Oliver and Nicholas Beighton earned places in Saturday's finals. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) recently confirmed only kayak events will feature when the sport makes its Paralympic debut at Rio 2016. "I really feel proud to be the first gold medallist in the new KL3 category and I'm really pleased that paracanoe now has a robust classification system moving forward," said Dickins. The 31-year-old England forward, who scored his 250th United goal last month to become the club's record scorer, has been linked with a move to China in recent weeks. The Chinese Super League's transfer window shuts next week and Mourinho was asked if the club captain would still be at Old Trafford by then. "You have to ask him," Mourinho said. "Of course I can't guarantee [he will be here]. I can't guarantee that I'm here next week, how can I guarantee that a player is here next season?" Rooney is contracted to United until 2019 and had previously said he was committed to seeing out his deal. He has not been a first-team regular this season and has scored just five goals. However, Mourinho said in October that Rooney was "going nowhere" and reiterated on Tuesday that he did not want him to leave. "I would never push - or try to push - a legend of this club to another destiny," added the Portuguese coach. "So you have to ask him if he sees himself staying in the club for the rest of his career or if he sees himself moving. "It is not a question for me because I am happy to have him. I don't want him to leave." BBC Sport's Simon Stone There is a clear sense now that time is ticking down on Rooney's Manchester United career. Less than a month after Rooney eclipsed Sir Bobby Charlton to become the club's record goalscorer, manager Jose Mourinho delivered the kind of response he came out with when he was asked about the futures of Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay during the January transfer window. Schneiderlin and Depay ended up leaving for Everton and Lyon respectively. And at 31, with 549 United appearances and 250 goals to his name, Rooney seems destined to experience the same fate. It might not happen now. Rooney is known to be coveted by the Chinese Super League, who would offer vast sums to get the England captain to join Carlos Tevez and Oscar in the exodus east, but twice over the past few days I have been told such a move before the 28 February deadline is unlikely. However, the end is in sight and Rooney's camp will doubtless spend the next few months exploring options. Rooney has the carrot of knowing if he can remain in the England fold until next year's World Cup, he is likely to become his country's most-capped player, in addition to its record goalscorer. Whether he can do that from China is doubtful, and though former team-mate David Beckham eked out the end of his England days in Major League Soccer with LA Galaxy, it is by no means certain Gareth Southgate would offer the same opportunity to a player who has plenty of competition for his number 10 role. This is the reality that is likely to focus minds because, four years after it seemed to be happening under Sir Alex Ferguson, it now seems a question of when, not if, Rooney leaves Old Trafford for good. Meanwhile, Rooney's team-mate Anthony Martial insists he wants to stay at the club "for as long as possible". The 21-year-old has struggled to recapture the form shown during his debut season at Old Trafford and was linked with a loan move to Sevilla in December. "I love Manchester, I love the club and I love the fans," Martial said. "The fans give me a lot of joy and I really enjoy having them backing me. I try to be as good as possible to make them happy, to satisfy them." Marc Traylor, 42, of Hersden, near Canterbury, stabbed his 16-year-old daughter with two kitchen knives. Jurors heard Mr Traylor, who had paranoid schizophrenia, had stopped taking his medication after being allowed to self-medicate. He had denied the charge at Canterbury Crown Court. During the trial, a firearms officer told the court Mr Traylor's daughter had been in "imminent danger" on the day of the attack on 9 February. He told jurors he saw Mr Traylor stab the girl several times and she was screaming with the blows. The officer said he realised her life was in danger and shot Mr Traylor three times. Mr Traylor was shot once in the chest and twice in the head by officers. Kent Police said Mr Traylor was incapacitated by the third shot. One officer had already fired a Taser which missed and the officer who fired the bullets also fired his Taser first but it too missed, the court heard. Both Mr Traylor and his daughter, who has since recovered, were taken to hospital after the attack. He remains in hospital where he needs help to eat, drink and walk. The court heard Mr Traylor had twice been detained under the Mental Health Act. After the hearing, Det Ch Insp Nick Gossett said he hoped the verdict would bring "some closure to all parties involved". He added: "Equally, Mr Traylor will be able to get the medical support that he needs at a secure hospital." The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which investigated the incident, said Kent Police's use of force, including the discharge of a hand gun and Tasers, was proportionate given the threat to life. "Negotiations and risk assessments conducted by officers were appropriate," an IPCC spokesman added. He said IPCC recommendations, which have been accepted by Kent Police, included the force should consider modifying Taser training to incorporate scenarios with third parties, complete work to draft and approve its policy on negotiations, and review training to ensure effective information sharing by front line and armed officers at incidents. Following the court case, Mr Traylor's defence solicitor Sean Caulfield said the families of people with paranoid schizophrenia needed support and access to help, and those with the condition needed regular checks. "Sadly, the Traylor family has suffered the life-changing consequences of a lapse in this care and Mr Traylor may now have to live in a supported unit for the rest of his life due to events of that night," he said. He said Mr Traylor had the support of his family who understood he could not be held responsible for his actions. Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust said patients wished to have as fully independent lives as possible and part of their rehabilitation included self-administering medication. In a statement, the NHS said it worked closely with patients to reach a point where this was possible and this included a thorough risk assessment process. The 25-year-old, who has won 27 caps and can also play at centre, will join the Falcons following the World Cup. "I'm really excited about the move. It is a big experience for me and my family, and I can't wait," he said. Venditti made his international debut during the 2012 Six Nations and played all five games at this year's tournament, scoring two tries. "Giamba is a strong player with quick feet and good hands who likes to attack space," said Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards. "He is also strong in contact and is going to give us plenty of options next season with his ability to play both centre and wing." Venditti is Newcastle's fifth signing for next season following props Jon Welsh, Taione Vea and Ben Harris, and back row forward Nili Latu. The north-east club have only won four of their 20 Premiership games so far this season and are next to bottom of the table. This may come as a surprise to many in the racing industry who believe that racehorse speed has reached its limit. But researchers say more work is required to determine whether the increased speeds are due to breeding techniques or changes in training and riding techniques. The study has been published in Royal Society journal Biology Letters.. Previous studies had shown that racehorse speeds had not increased since 1950. Many in the race horse industry had concluded that thoroughbreds might have reached the limits of their speed. This raised the question as to whether it was worth horse owners paying large amounts of money to stud farms aiming to breed future winners. So Patrick Sharman, a PhD student at Exeter University and race enthusiast, decided to take a closer look. He found that previous studies were not comprehensive. They only analysed the winning time of a small number of races. These studies included middle distance (8 to 12 furlongs) and long distance (14 to 20 furlongs) races, but excluded sprints (5 to 7 furlongs). Mr Sharman analysed the times from every single so-called elite race involving the very fastest horses between 1850 and 2012, and also included all race meetings since 1997. He found that there had been little improvement in speeds between 1910 and 1975. But since then there has been a steady improvement in sprint races. The average winning time for a six-furlong race over the past 15 years has been cut by more than a second - which is a huge amount by sprint standards. A modern day horse would beat a horse from the early 90s by seven horse lengths. However, there was little, if any, improvement at middle and longer distances. Mr Sharman says that this could be due to the fact that horses are being bred for speed rather than endurance. If that is the case, then speeds at middle and long distances could also be improved if breeders changed their methods. The improvement could be explained by a change in riding techniques since the 1970s - with jockeys adopting Lester Piggott's style of riding with shortened stirrups or improved training methods. But Mr Sharman wonders why there has been no improvement in the longer distances. "My hunch is that we are seeing a genetic change, with breeders focusing on speed rather than endurance," he told BBC News. "I don't believe that over the longer distances horses have reached their limit." Brian O'Rourke, the managing director of the UK National Stud in Newmarket believes that commercial pressures tend to favour the breeding of speed. "Back in the 1970s most horses that would win the Derby would go for the Gold Cup which is two and a half miles as opposed to a mile and a half," he told BBC News. "But since the late 70s and early 80s the thoroughbred industry has become commercialised. Everybody is breeding for speed now because they want precocious horses that run at two (years old) not four. "They want instant success like flicking a switch, but that does not always happen." Last year BBC Sport asked leading experts why human athletes were getting faster but horses were not. Follow Pallab on Twitter Institutions have also agreed to spend £750m on outreach activities, bursaries and waiving fees for poorer youngsters. Offa head Prof Les Ebdon said the new agreements with universities from 2016 would make a "lasting difference". The government wants to double the rates of the most disadvantaged youngsters entering university by 2020. Last week, the chancellor scrapped maintenance grants for students, converting them into repayable loans for those from families with low incomes. Some interest groups fear this could have an effect on the number of students from poorer homes choosing to go to university. Since the tuition fees increase in 2012, universities have had to detail how they intend to broaden access to their courses in the light of these higher fees. These access agreements are then cleared by the Office for Fair Access. In its report, Offa said: Prof Ebdon said universities and colleges were setting stretching and ambitious targets to attract disadvantaged students and support them through their studies. "Our work with universities and colleges has really borne fruit over the last decade. There are now greater rates of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in higher education than ever before - but we know that talent is still being lost. "Too many people who have the talent to excel are not given full opportunity to demonstrate their ability. Eroding the stubborn link between your background as a child and your life chances as an adult is a long-term project. "But I am confident that this set of agreements can - and will - make a real and lasting difference for many years to come." According to the report: Jo Johnson, minister for universities and science, said: "Improving access so that more students can go to university is one of government's key higher education priorities. "Lifting the cap on student numbers this upcoming academic year is a key part of this, and we remain committed to doubling the proportion of people from disadvantaged backgrounds entering higher education by the end of this Parliament, from 2009 levels." Director general of the Russell Group of leading universities, Dr Wendy Piatt, said: "Young people from the most disadvantaged areas in 2014 were around 40% more likely to enter a leading university than three years ago and more than a third of our students receive a bursary or scholarship. "In 2016-17 the 20 Russell Group universities in England will be spending £243m from additional fee income alone on scholarships, fee waivers and bursaries - £9m more than in 2015-16." Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust education charity, said this work could "become increasingly important" in the light of the scrapping of maintenance grants for poor students. "However, it is vital that we do more to evaluate how this money can be most effectively spent and ensure that enough is invested in reaching young people at school or college when they are making vital decisions about their futures." Eight people were hospitalised with smoke inhalation after the blaze at Lendel Place in the Govan area. Police said a 42-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were critical, while the other six are in a stable condition. The fire service said 15 people were rescued from the four-storey property after a blaze in a basement flat spread at about 04:10 on Sunday. About 25 firefighters tackled the blaze. A fire service spokesman said some people on the upper floors were "attempting to escape smoke and flames" when firefighters turned up. Eyewitness Tahir Aman told BBC Scotland: "There was just chaos. People who live up there were standing on the ledge, about five or six of them, waiting to jump out. "But the lady from the ambulance told them not to." Sana Mobeen, who lives next door, was treated for smoke inhalation. She said: "My husband was up making milk for our wee one and suddenly he saw, through the kitchen window, fire coming out and the window exploded of a neighbour's house." "We were sleeping, me and my son, and the lower window in our basement was just outside the house that actually caught fire so there was smoke coming inside where we were sleeping." Ten residents of the flats were taken to a council rest centre until it is safe for them to return home. Police said the affected people were taken to Ibrox Library before alternative accommodation was found. Some of those rescued were taken down by ladders, the fire service said. Crews from six fire engines from across the city extinguished the blaze. Brian Winter, the incident commander for Scottish Fire and Rescue, said: "The fire crews were met with a well-developed fire in a basement, which made conditions very challenging for them. "Given the severity of this fire and the complications it presented, the quick actions of the crews in carrying out these rescues ensured that casualty numbers were kept to a minimum and the fire damage to the building itself was mainly restricted to the basement property." The cause of the fire is unknown and a joint investigation between the fire service and Police Scotland is under way. Paisley Road West reopened around 09:40 on Sunday. They are Fernhill Properties NI Ltd and AD Enterprises (NI) Ltd. Fernhill Properties developed the College Court Central apartment complex in Belfast city centre. The firm has pursued a number of legal actions to get apartment buyers to complete deals agreed before the property crash. AD Enterprises owned the Lyndon Court complex on Queen Street in Belfast city centre. The company has planning permission to demolish Lyndon Court and build a seven storey office and retail development. Both companies were controlled by property investor Gareth Graham. The firms' loan were moved to Cerberus when it bought the entire Northern Ireland loan book of Nama last year. Paul Zanette's 15th-minute goal gave the Capitals a lead which they held until Brandon Benedict equalised with just over seven minutes remaining. James Desmarais put Belfast ahead four minutes later with Chris Higgins adding another Giants goal within 60 seconds. Belfast's 3-1 win came after Saturday's comprehensive 7-2 victory in Edinburgh. Ivan da Silva Martins played a small part as a gang member in the film. He is now 34 and is thought to control drug trafficking in the Vidigal favela. The film was released in Brazil in 2002, exposing to the rest of the world the bitter reality of crime, violence and poverty in Rio's favelas. Mr Martins was one of many boys and teenagers recruited from the city's poorest quarters to work as actors in the film. He is now believed to be feared by the Vidigal community where police says he is known as Ivan the Terrible. City of God director Fernando Meirelles said he had gradually lost contact with all the young actors, but told O Globo newspaper that he was "saddened by the news". The film begins in the early 1960s and follows the life of a young boy who becomes a drug lord in Cidade de Deus (City of God), a favela in the outskirts of Rio. It became a surprise blockbuster and received four Oscar nominations. Fifteen years later, violence is again on the rise in Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro. The policeman shot dead on Sunday, Sgt Hudson Araujo, was the 91st officer killed this year in the state of Rio. Brazil is now going through the worst recession in its history. The finances of many states, including Rio, have collapsed and there is no prospect of a solution for Brazil's serious political crisis. The families of police officers say their loved ones are paying a heavy price for trying to fight crime without the resources and equipment required. The union said that in one case a man who killed his partner then himself had been under the supervision of an "overworked" trainee officer. It urged the government to halt the changes, which involve contracting out the monitoring of some offenders. The Ministry of Justice said it would "robustly" contest the allegations. Appearing before the justice select committee on Tuesday, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling questioned the claims made by the National Association of Probation Officers (Napo). He said: "The trade union has, on occasion, put forward information and have not given full context or accuracy of the situation. "However it is really important to be clear that the number of serious further offences since the reforms began in June is lower than it was." As part of the changes, offender management was split between different agencies six months ago. By early next year, private firms and voluntary groups will be responsible for the supervision of 200,000 low and medium risk offenders. These organisations are called "Community Rehabilitation Companies" - or CRCs - and the contracts are worth about £450m a year over seven years. But Napo argues that move as well as staff shortages are putting public safety at risk. It is also concerned because staff working for the CRCs do not have full access to offenders' records and are therefore unable to accurately assess the risk they pose. This is because of the data protection laws and protocols around private companies being allowed to look at the databases of the National Probation Service (NPS). In an 18-page letter to Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, the union highlights a recent case of one offender "with a history of domestic violence" who went on to murder his partner before taking his own life. It claims the trainee allocated to undertake home visits to the man was "too overworked" to visit every four months as required. Another probation officer was "unable to spend sufficient time working with an offender", the letter alleges, because of an "excessive caseload". "Left without suitable supervision, the offender committed a murder while under supervision of the CRC," it added. The union highlighted a case in which a probation officer was sexually assaulted on a visit, and said that "defects in the ICT system" prevented her seeing a "risk flag that the offender should not be seen alone by female officers". In his letter, Napo general secretary Ian Lawrence said the union did not believe the MoJ had enough evidence "to show that it is safe to proceed" with the transfer of shares in the CRCs to the winning bidders. When talking specifically about Mr Grayling he said: "Here's a minister that not only sits on information that's vital to the public interest, he refuses to engage directly with Napo on the basis that he says our campaign is immature. "I don't think it's immature when we are highlighting key issues of public safety, serious further offences, a risk to our staff, and a risk to communities at large." But a Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said the department had tested its changes to the system at "every stage". "We will be robustly defending the allegations made by Napo and expect new providers to be in place and delivering services by early 2015," the spokeswoman added. "Reoffending rates have been too high for too long, and we must act now to turn the tide on this unacceptable problem. "It would be inappropriate to comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing." Reports in the manager's home country - quoting an agent, Federico Pastorello - had suggested he was considering a move, with Inter Milan the most likely destination. "I'm very happy to stay," Conte said. "I read this interview about Pastorello. I don't know him and I don't know why this person has spoken about me." He added: "I worked in Italy. They want to come back for me in Italy. It's normal. I have two more years of contract with Chelsea. "This is the truth. This is the most important thing. I don't like when I listen to other persons talking about me." Conte, 47, also addressed speculation linking the Blues with New York City midfielder Andrea Pirlo - who played under Conte at Juventus. Ray Wilkins, a former Chelsea player and assistant manager, told Talksport he had seen the 37-year-old at Stamford Bridge "on a number of occasions this year". "He's the one that Antonio Conte would like to come in and replace assistant manager Steve Holland," he added. But Conte said: "Andrea Pirlo is playing and he wants to continue to play. I don't know why someone wants to put this type of situation for me." They are the top two consumers of Brazilian meat and have suspended imports over allegations that companies have been selling unsafe produce for years. The European Union has also said it will stop buying from companies implicated in the scandal. The crisis was triggered by a huge federal police operation on Friday. It found evidence that meat-packers had been selling rotten and substandard produce for several years. Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety said it had temporarily suspended the import of frozen and chilled meat and poultry "in view of the fact that the quality of the meat from Brazil is in question". Brazil is the world's biggest red meat and poultry exporter and the meat industry plays an important part in the economy. President Michel Temer held emergency meetings over the weekend and even invited foreign diplomats to a steak house on Sunday evening to try to reassure them. "The Brazilian government reiterates its confidence in the quality of a national product that has won over consumers and obtained the approval of the most rigorous markets," said Mr Temer. But the effort was in vain. China, the EU, South Korea, Hong Kong and Chile have now announced restrictions on Brazilian meat products. Together they account for nearly one third of Brazilian meat exports in 2016, O Globo newspaper reported. Friday's federal raids at meat-producing plants ended in the arrest of more than 30 people. The government suspended more than 30 senior civil servants who should have spotted the unhygienic and illegal practices - they are being investigated for corruption. Three packing plants have been closed and another 21 are being investigated. Mr Temer said the plants under scrutiny represented a tiny proportion of Brazil's meat industry. "Only 21 units out of 4,837 in Brazil subject to government inspection are facing allegations of irregularities. And only six of them have exported in the past 60 days," said Mr Temer at a meeting with foreign diplomats on Sunday. Operation Weak Flesh was launched in the early hours of Friday in six Brazilian states after a two-year investigation. Federal police carried out raids in 194 locations, deploying more than 1,000 officers. It has partly blamed the $290m (£188m) shortfall on a decline in Kenya's tourism sector. Some countries had issued travel advisories warning about terror threats in certain areas. Finance Director Alex Mbugua also told investors that the airline has been hit by competition from Gulf carriers, reports the Reuters news agency. Competition from within the continent is also a factor, with Ethiopian Airlines becoming a major regional rival. Losses were forecast but these were "much worse that they were expected to be", African Aerospace magazine editor Alan Peaford said. Tourism numbers are down because of the attacks in Kenya by Somalia-based militants al-Shabab, he added, but Kenya Airways has also been late in responding to the challenge of Ethiopian Airlines. Kenya Airways moved to upgrade its aeroplanes ordering its first Boeing 787 Dreamliners in 2013, some two years after Ethiopian Airlines. But the timing was unfortunate as it coincided with the tourism slump and the "growth of the fleet... was not matched by revenue growth," the airline's Mr Mbuga acknowledged. Kenya Airways has also been hit by insuring itself against fuel price rises at exactly the time when prices have been falling. The airline is now looking for a $200m loan to help it through this period. In June, the UK government lifted its warning against travelling to part of Kenya's coast, including Mombasa. Correction 31 July 2015: This story has been amended to remove incorrect the statement that Ethiopian Airlines does not publicly declare its profits or losses. Clarke, 34, returned career-best List A figures of 5-26 in the Bears' eight-wicket victory at Edgbaston to bounce back from successive T20 Blast defeats. "I think we're playing some good cricket," Clarke told BBC WM. "T20 can be a game if something goes slightly wrong, it goes against you." After missing out on two chances to book their place in the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast with back-to-back losses to Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire's hopes of a last-eight spot in the 50-over competition were kept alive by their handsome win over their local rivals. With the Bears in fifth place and one of six teams separated by two points, the North group looks like going down to the wire. Clarke is adamant he and his team-mates are up for the fight of making the quarter-finals in both limited-over formats. "We're a tight unit and we want to do it for the next person," Clarke said. "Sometimes you get over the line and sometimes you don't. "It's a cliche but we have to take each game separately and this win won't mean anything if we don't back it up. Our approach to 50-over cricket is similar to four-day cricket and hopefully we can take that momentum." The Bears continue their One Day Cup campaign against Northamptonshire at Edgbaston on Tuesday. Claudia Vulliamy, from London, applied to study classics in September at Wadham College. But when the 18-year-old received her rejection letter, she "thought it would be funny" to use it to create a piece of artwork. A picture of the piece published on Twitter has been retweeted 48,000 times. Her mother Louisa Saunders said: "Between that time [she told me she had been rejected] and when I got back from work, she had made this artwork. "I thought it was very funny and very spirited, and obviously I was glad she wasn't feeling to sad about it." The picture has been liked on Twitter 153,000 times and has sparked a lot of reactions from students who were rejected from Oxbridge. Miss Vulliamy said there wasn't a message behind the artwork initially. She added: "I just thought I had this letter, it's not often that you get a letter dedicated to you from Oxford. "It's very meaningful, so I thought it would be funny if I made it into something." Ms Saunders said some people on social media were comparing the painting to works by Piet Mondrian. The student, who has been accepted to Durham University, said: "In retrospect I quite like how it is interpreted as Oxbridge doesn't determine everything, I like that it's cheered people up. "I hadn't set my heart on Oxford I'm happy I got an offer from Durham." He returned to be given a star on Wigan's walk of fame and spoke to members of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) group, BYOU. The group said he encouraged them to seek funding from the council and businesses to hold the event. The festival has adopted the town's original motto, Progress with Unity. Zak Bretherton, BYOU founder said: "Sir Ian was one of the biggest stars to come out of Wigan and we met him and he was so open about his sexuality, even though he wasn't there to talk about sexuality. "We had asked the question why don't we have a Pride festival in Wigan and so we decided to approach the council and get sponsors." Mr Bretheron added: "Growing up, I remember watching a documentary...of a social experiment in Wigan. It showed two male actors holding hands with hidden cameras and the response from the public was disappointing. I knew I wanted to change things." He said he was impressed by the turnout: "It is really important to show the development in the borough. We're part of the community and this brings the whole community together. "I'm proud of Wigan and it's not the Wigan that I saw back in the documentary." The festival included live entertainment, music and comedy. Donna Hall, Chief Excutive of Wigan Council said: "It is embarrassing really that we haven't held a [Pride event] before now in the town. This was a group of young people who came to us and wanted to hold the event. "They did all the work really. We provided some funds but they've raised sponsorship. Sir Ian McKellan was bowled over by their enthusiasm and was really supportive. "We really feel people do still face discrimination in society and we want to celebrate our diversity in Wigan." McIlroy, 27, was among several high-profile withdrawals from the tournament over concerns about the Zika virus. He had also criticised golf's place at the Olympics, saying he would not even watch the tournament on TV. But following the event's success, he said: "There was more people at the golf events than there was at the athletics. It was good to see." The Zika virus, which has been linked to brain defects in newborn babies, led to McIlroy - and others - pulling out. But he went on to say players did not see the Olympics as the "pinnacle", and that he would only watch the "stuff that matters" - such as the athletics and swimming - when following the Olympics on television. Speaking ahead of Thursday's PGA Tour play-off event at The Barclays in New York, the Northern Irishman said: "To see the crowds and see the turnout, I was glad to be somewhat proven wrong. "It seems like it was a great atmosphere down there. I think it was one of the cheaper tickets as well, and I think that encouraged a lot of people to go. "I thought golf was sort of going to get lost a little bit. It was away from the village; I thought it was going to just sort of blend in with everything else." Justin Rose became golf's first men's Olympic champion since 1904 by seeing off Henrik Stenson in a thrilling final round. The Englishman had also made history by hitting Olympic golf's first hole-in-one in the opening round. McIlroy said of his Ryder Cup team-mate: "You go back years and see his quotes about it, and he was really excited to play and looking forward to play. So I think it was the right winner in the end."

Wales reached the semi-final in their first major international tournament since 1958 but have struggled for form since, winning once in four matches. The Republic, who lead Group D, face off against Wales in a crucial World Cup qualifier in Dublin on Friday. "Expectation is very, very high, not only in Wales itself," O'Neill said. He continued: "The expectation from within Europe itself is that Wales are very, very capable. They possess some excellent players in their side and obviously a world-class player in Gareth Bale." After beating Moldova 4-0 in their first qualifier in September, Wales have drawn against Austria, Georgia and Serbia since. Neil Taylor said Wales had to adapt their style of play after the Euros while Ben Davies denied they had experienced a "hangover" after such a successful tournament. "I don't think there's been any lull. Perhaps they might have thought they'd have won one of those matches," O'Neill added. "But the Georgia game, which they could easily have been beaten in, that was never going to be easy at all. "We had played them [Georgia] a few days earlier and Seamus [Coleman] got the goal to win the game, but they played brilliantly in the first half against us in the match, so the games are not easy. "But are Wales suffering? I don't see that at all, I genuinely don't see that. Wales are capable of winning football matches home or away." Cesc Fabregas set up Pedro to break the deadlock with a deflected shot that looped into the top corner. Eden Hazard capped an impressive display by making it 2-0 from the spot after he was brought down by Simon Francis. Chelsea added a third goal deep in injury time when Pedro's shot hit Steve Cook and the ball span over the line. Bournemouth's best chance saw substitute Benik Afobe denied by Thibaut Courtois but the Cherries ended up well beaten. Liverpool can reduce Chelsea's lead to six points if they beat Stoke on Tuesday. Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea were missing two key components of their recent run, with striker Diego Costa and midfielder N'Golo Kante both suspended, but it made little difference. Without Costa to lead the line, and the Blues £33m Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi again left on the bench, Antonio Conte went with a front three of Hazard, Willian and Pedro. It took time for them to hit their stride but the three players eventually proved an effective combination. They were happy to swap positions throughout the game but all three caused the Cherries problems when they ran at them, especially on the break. "This is the first time we played without a real forward," Chelsea manager Conte explained. "We tried this in training and I think for us at the moment this situation is the best, but I don't forget Michy because he is a young player with great talent. He is adapting to this league and its football. In the future, I trust in him." Kante's absence, meanwhile, saw Fabregas recalled to partner Nemanja Matic at the heart of Antonio Conte's midfield. Again they took time to settle down, giving Jack Wilshere too much room on a couple of occasions before the break, but they were far more assured after half-time. Media playback is not supported on this device Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe switched to a 3-4-3 formation to match Chelsea's shape and, initially, it worked. Even when Pedro put the hosts ahead, the Cherries looked capable of causing them problems and Wilshere got on the ball in some good positions, going close twice. It did not last, and Bournemouth were kept at arm's length for much of the second half - enjoying more possession than Chelsea but unable to do much with the ball, and in constant danger from counter-attacks. "You can't be too upbeat about getting beaten 3-0 but there were fine margins and many elements of our game-plan worked," Howe said afterwards. "They scored their first goal out of the blue, without any real sustained period of pressure, and the second goal just after half-time was the decisive moment." Howe's side remain seven points above the relegation zone so have breathing space, but their away form is becoming a cause for concern. Former England captain Alan Shearer: "Chelsea look so strong in every department, so confident in every department. The win was without two of their biggest hitters - N'Golo Kante and Diego Costa. Once they got that first goal it was just a matter of how many. "Their one-touch and two-touch play was just brilliant at times. Eden Hazard is in such incredible form and Willian had a fantastic game. Chelsea are red, red hot at the moment." The Cherries have won only one of their nine games on the road this season, but have a chance to put that right on New Year's Eve when they travel to struggling Swansea. Chelsea host Stoke on the same day, looking to move closer to Arsenal's record of 14 successive Premier League wins, set across the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons. "To win 12 games in a row is not easy in this league," added Conte. "It's a fantastic run but it's important to continue that now. "In four days we have another tough game and we have to prepare very well. Because now every team wants to beat you." Match ends, Chelsea 3, Bournemouth 0. Second Half ends, Chelsea 3, Bournemouth 0.

The National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland research involved more than 600 14 to 16-year-olds from 2012-14. It found 41% of children who used portable gaming devices at least twice a day achieved at least five GCSE A* to C grades, compared with 77% of those who used them less than once a week. The research does not establish why this might be the case. The report, ICT and Me, is the first long-term study in Northern Ireland into how a child's use of information and communication technology (ICT) impacts on GCSE attainment. Although 81% of the young people in the study reported using social media daily, many for several hours, it found no link between social media use and exam performance. The report says there is "no statistically significant association between pupils' intensity of participating in social networking activities and educational attainment at GCSE level". Its other main findings include: While the report recommends the introduction of a targeted scheme by government to ensure all young people have access to a computer or laptop at home, it also recommends that parents or carers limit the amount of time their child uses a games console. It also recommends that additional research is undertaken to establish why prolific gamers do less well at school. Celine McStravick, the director of the National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland, said: "Our research shows that using a computer for homework can help pupils consolidate learning and do better in exams. "So, schools should be regularly setting homework that requires the use of a computer and the internet. "Similarly, we need parents and carers to step in and limit excessive amounts of time spent gaming." The research was funded by the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, a department of Northern Ireland's ruling executive. Of the 611 14 to 16-year-olds tracked at 13 post-primary schools in Northern Ireland from 2012-14, 65.5% achieved at least five GCSE grades at A* to C. The tourists were suspended above the glaciers of Mont Blanc at an altitude of about 3,800m (12,468ft) after wires carrying the cars became tangled. They were among 110 people initially trapped when the cable cars ground to a halt on Thursday afternoon. The cars are believed to have stopped after cables tangled in high winds. Those trapped overnight were freed on Friday after rescuers managed to restart the cars by relaxing the tension of tangled cables. Late on Thursday 48 people had been lifted from the cable cars by helicopter, while about 30 travelling in cars closest to the ground had been able to climb down with the help of rescuers using ropes. Those rescued on Thursday night described a difficult rescue operation amid intense cold. "The cable car left about 2:30 in the afternoon and it was just before midnight when they finally brought us out of the gondolas,'' US tourist Kathy Cook said. "The helicopter rescue failed because the fog moved in, so we had to just wait and then they decided they could bring us safely to the ground, and we walked up the glacier to the hut,'' she said. Another rescued tourist told French radio: "The last hour seemed very, very long. We called the operators who explained that three cables got snarled up and they had to be untangled - but they didn't manage to do it." Local policeman Col Frederic Labrunye told AFP news agency: "The extent of this rescue operation is simply unbelievable.'' He said rescuers had to deal with 36 stranded cable cars over a distance of 5km (3.1 miles). Col Labrunye said helicopters had to negotiate their way over cables then lower a rescuer onto an area "not larger than a table'', strap on passengers individually and extract them, describing the operation as "air surgery". As darkness fell with the weather getting worse, the rescue operation was suspended leaving 33 tourists, one of them a 10-year-old, forced to spend the night suspended in mid-air. Rescuers provided blankets, food and water to help them brave chilly mountain night-time conditions. Mathieu Dechavanne, the head of the cable car company, said it appeared that cables had crossed over "for unexplained reasons" but probably because of strong gusts of wind. French, Italian and Swiss teams took part in rescue efforts. The cable cars connect the Aiguille du Midi peak in France, at 3,842m (12,605ft), to Pointe Helbronner in Italy, at 3,462m (11,358ft) and offer a panoramic view of Mont Blanc. The 19-year-old will be going to his first Games, and is the third partner in as many Olympics for Daley, who won 10m individual bronze at London 2012. "There's always going to be pressure on whoever Tom does synchro with," Goodfellow told BBC Sport. "Instead of shying away from it you've got to accept it and you're going to have to deal with that." Daley, 22, has risen to become an international sporting star since making his debut at the 2008 Games in Beijing aged 14, going on to have his own television programmes and books. Find out how to get into diving with our special guide. He and Goodfellow were brought together in 2015 and this year won silver at the European Championships, as well as the British title. "We've been doing really well for the last 10 months that we've been doing it," said Goodfellow. "I used to go and watch Tom at competitions when I was younger and think 'one day I want to be as good as him' and now I'm competing with him. "We've known each other for years now, since I was a junior on the circuit and he was probably still a junior at the time as well. "We get on really well, we've not had to force anything in synchro pairing, everything's come quite naturally, so I'm looking forward to everything that comes in Rio." And Goodfellow says his ambition is to reach the podium with Daley. "A medal is definitely not out of the question," he said. "That's what me and Tom are going there expecting to get. We're hoping to get a medal and we'll give it our best." A misconduct hearing heard Vasim Shabir, who formerly taught at the Vale Academy, Brigg, called students with learning difficulties "weirdos". The panel also ruled the 33-year-old had "an overall disregard and lack of respect for women". Mr Shabir who was not present at the hearing, was banned from teaching indefinitely. The panel, which sat in Coventry, heard evidence Mr Shabir was guilty of unacceptable professional conduct whilst working at the school. In one instance he was reported to have told boys in the classroom how he hated his wife and how to have more than one girlfriend and get away with it. Mr Shabir was taken to have denied the allegations against him which dealt with the period 2011/12. In its ruling, the panel said: "The findings against Mr Shabir included serious departures from the professional standards, a disregard for instructions, a clear abuse of the trust... a derogatory attitude towards women and intimidation of a member of staff." The ban means Mr Shabir is prohibited from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children's home in England. The tourists will also play three one-day games and three Twenty20 matches. Rajkot will make its Test venue debut when the series starts on 9 November, as will Vishakapatnam when it hosts the second match. Mohali, Mumbai and Chennai are the other venues for England's first five-Test series in India since 1984-85. England in India 2016-17 9-13 November: 1st Test, Rajkot 17-21 November: 2nd Test, Vishakapatnam 26-30 November: 3rd Test, Mohali 8-12 December: 4th Test, Mumbai 16-20 December: 5th Test, Chennai 15 January: 1st ODI, Pune 19 January: 2nd ODI, Cuttack 22 January: 3rd ODI, Kolkata 26 January: 1st T20, Kanpur 29 January: 2nd T20, Nagpur 1 February: 3rd T20, Bangalore American Daniel Berger leads at 15 under par after carding an eight-under 62 on Saturday, two strokes off the course record in Cromwell, Connecticut. Knox, who shot 64, is in a three-way tie for second, and chasing a second PGA Tour win after victory at the World Championships in Shanghai in November. "I always tell myself, don't be scared to play well," said the 31-year-old. South Africa's Tyrone van Aswegen and American Russell Henley are also at 12 under. England's Paul Casey, who lost in the play-off in Connecticut last year, carded a four-under-par 67 to move to nine under for the tournament.

After the Bugaled Breizh sank off the Lizard on 15 January 2004, families of the victims claimed a Royal Navy submarine was responsible. But the Royal Navy has always denied any involvement and has been cleared. Campaigners believe a debate could reveal what happened. A petition has been started in a bid to force a parliamentary debate. Families of the dead crew believe the vessel was dragged under by a submarine caught in fishing gear, and have blamed HMS Turbulent. The Royal Navy has insisted HMS Turbulent was in Devonport Naval Base throughout the day. In January, French Judge Brigette Lamy, who was involved in an investigation into whether charges of manslaughter or failing to assist a person in danger could be brought against HMS Turbulent or its crew, said she agreed with reports the submarine was in Plymouth at the time. Jacques Losay, a relative of the trawler's skipper has made a film shown in Cornwall which disputes the Royal Navy's claims. Mr Losay said the speed the vessel sunk could only be explained by the involvement of a submarine. The sinking happened a day before Nato military exercises began in the area. The 72ft (23m) Bugaled Breizh, which means "child of Brittany" in Breton, was based at the small port of Loctudy. A BBC correspondent says troops have been firing artillery, mortars and anti-aircraft guns at Binnish and other towns near the city of Idlib. Activists say dozens of people were killed across Syria, many of them in the besieged city of Homs. As the crackdown continues, the European Union has imposed further sanctions on Syria. They include: UK Foreign Secretary William Hague welcomed the fresh sanctions. By Ian Pannell,BBC News, northern Syria The bombardment has started in Binnish, which for the past week has been under the control of the opposition. The Free Syrian Army and the Syrian Liberation Army are based in this town. We know that a government offensive has been taking place in the nearby city of Idlib. The townspeople have become increasingly concerned that the troops would then turn their attention to Binnish. That is what has happened this morning. We were woken to the sound of artillery bombardment. There is gunfire in the distance. We believe they are using anti-aircraft weapons against the town, and also setting up mortar positions. This is a town of about 40,000 people and although there are militiamen belonging to the Free Syrian Army and other groups, this has not been a military situation. From what we can tell, the bombardment is entirely random and is not targeting specific individuals. This seems to be part of a wider government offensive that is taking place in the north of the country, to regain control of opposition areas. "We will continue working closely with our EU partners to support the Arab League and its plan to end the violence in Syria and bring about a Syrian-led transition to a peaceful and more open political system," he said. Qatar's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, said the international community should do "whatever necessary" to help the Syrian opposition, "including giving them weapons to defend themselves". "I think they're right to defend themselves with weapons and I think we should help these people by all means," he added. The Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC), an activists' group which organises and documents protests, said that 89 people died in Homs, 64 of them in a single incident at a checkpoint - although there has been no independent verification of this. The LCC also said 15 people died in Idlib area, nine in the Aleppo area, and several in the suburbs of Damascus. The towns of Sarmin, Maarat al-Numan and Binnish were among the opposition-held areas of Idlib province reportedly hit by Syrian military attacks on Monday. The BBC's Ian Pannell, who is in northern Syria, says residents of Binnish, which for the past week has been under the control of the Free Syrian Army and the Syrian Liberation Army, were woken by the sound of artillery bombardment. Government troops are firing anti-aircraft weapons at the town, and also setting up mortar and infantry positions on the outskirts. Our correspondent says the bombardment appears to be entirely random, hitting civilian areas rather than targeting rebel positions. The Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC), an activists' group which organises and documents protests, said the towns of Sarmin and Saraqib, not far to the south of Binnish, also had been shelled. The group said Maarat al-Numan outside Idlib, had been attacked, with several tanks entering the town from the south. The French news agency AFP also reported shelling in the town of Qusayr, nine miles (15km) outside Homs. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has continued efforts to move injured people, including two Western journalists, out of Baba Amr. Reports on Monday evening said the Syrian Red Crescent had managed to regain access to the area but left later without the journalists. British photographer Paul Conroy and French reporter Edith Bouvier were both wounded in an attack on Wednesday which claimed the lives of American journalist Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik. Poland's foreign ministry told the AFP news agency that its diplomats in Damascus were also attempting to retrieve the bodies of the dead journalists. State television has meanwhile announced the results of a referendum on a new constitution, which was dismissed by opposition activists and the West as a sham. The poll showed around 89% support for the proposal, the report said, on a turnout of just over 57%. China earlier dismissed US criticism of its Syria policy as very arrogant. A commentary in the Chinese Communist Party's official newspaper said that after the experience of Iraq, the US had no right to speak for the Arab people. China's comments follow a blunt statement by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the Chinese and Russian veto of a UN Security Council resolution on Syria was "despicable" while "people are being murdered". One of the stones crossing the River Dove has become partially submerged while a second has been moved to the side following recent heavy rain. The National Trust has asked people to use a footbridge further downstream if they want to cross the river. The stepping stones attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. They were last closed to walkers four years ago when two stones were dislodged by floodwater causing tree branches and debris collecting behind them. Derbyshire County Council said engineers would visit the site to assess the damage before it knew how long the stones would be out of action. Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire Dovedale stepping stones The 42-year-old, who will be the oldest British woman to run in a Games, achieved the 10,000m qualifying time at the European Championships in Amsterdam last week. 'Super Saturday' gold medallists Jessica Ennis-Hill, 30, Mo Farah, 33, and Greg Rutherford, 29, are all in. Christine Ohuruogu, 32, who won gold in Beijing, is selected for the 400m. They are among a team of 80 athletes selected to represent Britain in Rio that will be looking to improve on the haul of six medals in 2012. Athletics team leader Neil Black told BBC Sport: "It's vital to be clear that we have selected Jo Pavey because she has shown form and we believe she will perform at the highest level at Rio." Pavey's place was being challenged by 24-year-old Kate Avery. "It took significant time and analysis but it was about picking the person we thought would perform at the highest level," said Black. "It's a great story and I'm so pleased for her, but I feel for Kate." Dina Asher-Smith, 20, won gold in the 200m in Amsterdam and is picked for her first Olympic Games, as is men's sprinter Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, 22. Devon's Pavey made her senior international debut in 1997 and competed at her first Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000. She is yet to win an Olympic medal, with her best finish being fifth in the 5,000m in Athens 2004. At the age of 40, she won gold in the 10,000m at the 2014 Zurich European Championships to become the competition's oldest ever gold medallist. Her place at Rio was in doubt after she finished sixth at the British trials in May, but she recorded a season's best of 31 minutes 34 seconds in Amsterdam. She will become the first British track athlete to compete in five Games. Javelin thrower Tessa Sanderson competed in six from 1976 to 1996. "I was literally in a race against time," Pavey told BBC Radio 5 live. "I was busting a gut in training just to give it one last attempt that could get me even considered really. "I can't believe it, I'm really lucky to be going to a fifth Olympic Games." Martyn Rooney, who has been selected for the 400m and the 4x400m relay, told BBC Radio 5 live: "To go to my third Olympics, I'm very excited. I'm excited about what kind of shape I'm in. It should be a very prosperous Olympics." The 29-year-old, who missed out on the final of the 400m in 2012, added: "It's an exciting time to be a British athlete. It's a golden year, hopefully." After several golfers pulled out of the Olympics because of fears over the Zika virus, Rooney revealed that his wife and son would not be joining him in Rio. "We decided, not just because of Zika, but the whole safety of the event, it was best that they stay at home," he said. On the controversial topic of golfers pulling out, he added that they may have changed their minds if prizemoney had been on offer. Heptathlete Ennis-Hill, who won gold in London, is relishing the Rio Games. "Everything's coming together now," she said. "If I was able to defend my title in Rio it will certainly be one of my greatest achievements." The benchmark Nikkei 225 tumbled more than 3.5% to 17,106.63 following falls on Wall Street. In Hong Kong, shares were down by a similar amount in early trade, with the Hang Seng falling 3% to 18,844.90 points. The mainland's Shanghai Composite was also in negative territory, down 1.29% at 2,714.63 points. West Texas Intermediate - the US benchmark - lost 5.5% overnight to fall below the $30 mark, while Brent crude closed down 4.5% to about $32. Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was weighed down by energy stocks together with the country's big lenders. The Sydney index was down 1.8% at 4,953.60, with BHP shares down 4.5%, Rio Tinto shares down 1.2%, and Santos shares down to 6.7%. The country's big four banks were down too, with the National Australia Bank shedding the most in morning trade, down more than 5.1%. The bank announced its final offer price for the float of its UK business - the Clydesdale Bank - at the lower end of the initial price range. The £1.6bn ($2.3bn) flotation of Clydesdale Bank was postponed on Tuesday for 24 hours. On Tuesday evening, the bank confirmed the IPO share price at 180p, valuing it at £1.58bn. Meanwhile, South Korea's benchmark Kospi index was down 1.1% at 1,885.44. Analysis of samples from 55- to 73-year-olds found more than 100 DNA mutations linked to cancer in every 1 sq cm (0.1 sq in) of skin. The team, at the Sanger Institute, near Cambridge, said the results were "surprising". Experts said prevention was the best defence against damage from the sun. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers. Ultraviolet-radiation from sunlight bombards our skin and transforms it from healthy to cancerous tissue. Many of the mutations that culminate in skin cancer are already known, but the team wanted to know when they first started to appear. The researchers analysed excess skin that had been removed from the eyelids of four patients. They then drilled down deeply into the skin's DNA to discover the very first steps being taken on the journey to cancer. Dr Peter Campbell, the head of cancer genetics at Sanger, told the BBC News website: "The most surprising thing is just the scale, that a quarter to a third of cells had these cancerous mutations is way higher than we'd expect, but these cells are functioning normally." However, it would take multiple mutations - nobody is sure exactly how many - to culminate in a tumour. The results, published in the journal Science, did show there were some subtle changes in the way the mildly mutated cells were behaving. They were growing more quickly than other skin cells. Dr Campbell said: "It certainly changes my sun worshipping, but I don't think we should be terrified. "It drives home the message that these mutations accumulate throughout life, and the best prevention is a lifetime of attention to the damage from sun exposure." The findings may be a warning to people trying to develop new cancer drugs, which often target the changes that make a cancer "unique". "We have not really had any insight into whether those cancerous changes occur in normal cells as well, a treatment that kills 20-30% of normal cells would potentially be a lot of collateral damage," Dr Campbell said. Dr Bav Shergill, from the British Association of Dermatologists, said: "Whilst the body's immune system can prove quite effective at removing mutated cells, it is important to remember that some of cells aren't removed and mutate into cancers. "Prevention is the first line of defence; wearing protective clothing, seeking shade and choosing a sunscreen with an SPF [sun protection factor] of at least 30 are all good sun safety practices." Dr Alan Worsley, from Cancer Research UK, said: "Research like this could help uncover which specific mistakes are more likely to push a damaged skin cell into becoming a cancer. "Although we all need some sun, avoid sunburn and skin damage when the sun is strong by spending time in the shade, covering up with clothing and using plenty of sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and four or more stars." The 33-year-old man fell from the third-floor property in Forester Street shortly after 06:00 and died at the scene soon after. Officers said the full circumstances surrounding his death were "unexplained". They also said there had been a report of a disturbance at a flat in Forester Street about two hours earlier. Ross Fairlie, 37, who works in neighbouring Rattray Street, said he had called emergency services around 06:30 after finding the man seriously hurt. He said: "I discovered a man who was still alive at the time. He was lying in the front garden of a block of flats in Forester Street. "The man was semi-conscious and I tried to speak to him. "There was a woman with him and she was very distressed. She said he had fallen from the third-floor window." Mr Fairlie said he immediately called 999 and stayed until paramedics arrived. "I'm really shocked and upset by what happened - you don't expect to experience something like this when you arrive for work," he said. It is made up of two main islands and numerous smaller ones: the North Island (known as Te Ika-a-Maui in Maori) is the more populous of the two, and is separated by the Cook Strait from the somewhat larger but much less populated South Island (or Te Waipounamu). Agriculture is the economic mainstay, but manufacturing and tourism are important and there is a world-class film industry. New Zealand has diversified its export markets and has developed strong trade links with Australia, the US, and Japan. In April 2008 it became the first Western country to sign a free trade deal with China. The precise date of early Maori settlement remains a matter of debate, but current research suggests that the first arrivals came from East Polynesia sometime in the 13th century. It was not until 1642 that Europeans became aware of the existence of the islands. British sovereignty was established under the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi - a pact between Maori chiefs and the British government over land rights. Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring The treaty gave rise to land claims which culminated in the "New Zealand Wars", a series of skirmishes between colonial forces and Maori in the North Island. The government awarded money and land in settlements during the 1990s, but the land issue remains controversial. Maori New Zealanders make up 15.4 per cent of the current population. The landscape is diverse, and sometimes spectacular. This has fuelled tourism; visitors are drawn to the glacier-carved mountains, lakes, beaches and thermal springs. Because of the islands' geographical isolation, much of the flora and fauna is unique to the country. New Zealand plays an active role in Pacific affairs. It has constitutional ties with the Pacific territories of Niue, the Cook Islands and Tokelau. Its troops served in East Timor when violence broke out in the territory in 1999 and were part of a multinational force intended to restore order to the Solomon Islands in 2003. Further afield, New Zealand forces have backed peacekeeping and development efforts in Afghanistan. But its anti-nuclear stance - including a ban on nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed vessels from its waters - put it at odds with the US in the 1980s. In the 1980s the government embarked on a dramatic and controversial economic reform programme, which lifted controls on wages, prices and interest rates and removed agricultural subsidies. A significant amount of New Zealand's electricity is generated by hydropower sources and the country has a range of renewable energy sources at its disposal. Migration patterns have changed, with most incomers coming from Asia and Pacific island states, rather than from the UK and Australia. Officials estimate that Asians will make up 13% of the population by 2021 from about 9% in 2009. Kris Sale, from Sale Appliances in Westcliff-on-Sea, came up with the idea because he had a soft "baby Henry" toy and said he enjoyed making "quirky" window displays. The five cleaners represent the kings, Mary and Joseph. "Kids love it," said Mr Sale who has also built a stable, topped with a star, to house the vacuum cleaners. Mr Sale has a reputation for his window displays. In the past he has turned a washing machine into a fish tank, and put a dummy repair man inside a cooker to make it look as though the appliance was being mended. He said: "We're planning to change the nativity for New Year's Eve. The Henrys are going to have a party. It'll be one heck of a bash." Bayern fell behind when Kerem Demirbay's thundering shot left keeper Manuel Neuer rooted to the spot. It required a slice of fortune for the hosts to equalise, Steven Zuber sending the ball into his own net attempting to clear Douglas Costa's cutback. RB Leipzig could draw level on points with Bayern on Sunday. Leipzig, promoted to the top tier at the end of last season, have 21 points from nine games. They will join Carlo Ancelotti's side on 24 if they win at home to Mainz (14:30 GMT). Hoffenheim, who started the weekend third in the table, are now unbeaten in their first 10 games of the league season under Julian Nagelsmann, who at 29 is the youngest coach in Bundesliga history.

Even a visitor who detests shopping can admire the building's quirkiness, a semi-arch that seems almost to fall on to the pavement, embodying the modernist curves which define architecture in Brazil's capital. This is a city that was constructed virtually from scratch in the 1950s and which is supposed to proclaim the new, progressive side of the country. Yet the man I had come to meet at the mall had a story as old as his country's creation: "When you bid for a government contract in Brazil, they usually say 'what can you do for us? What can you do to make this contract a win-win for all of us?' They want a percentage of the contract…which means bribes." His company designed software, successfully by all accounts. Yet the compromises required to win that all-important government business had driven him to despair and he eventually quit the industry altogether. "I didn't want to play the game, but I knew the game would always be there." Corruption has been in Brazil for a long time. Some historians trace it back to dodgy dealing during the slave trade, a business often conducted illicitly as well as immorally. There is even a phrase in the local Portuguese dialect "Jeitinho Brasileiro" which loosely translates as "the Brazilian way of doing things". This can be said admiringly to suggest an ability to solve problems creatively. Underlying the phrase, however, is a sense that if a problem does have to be solved, it is OK to cut corners and perhaps break the law just to get things done. And there have been an awful lot of corruption laws broken in Brazil, it seems. Congress recently voted to proceed with impeachment of the President, Dilma Rousseff, following allegations that members of her ruling Workers' Party had siphoned cash from the state oil company, Petrobas. However, many of those accusing the president are themselves being investigated for embezzlement, money laundering or other financial skulduggery. In the midst of such rampant collective larceny, it might seem odd to find optimism among anti-corruption campaigners. Yet Fabiano Angelico from Transparency International, an independent anti-corruption organisation, says that the sheer number of politicians facing investigation is a sign that the system is finally working. "We have built strong institutions," he says. "The federal police, the federal prosecutors, they share information with other countries." What also might sound surprising is that Congress itself is funding some ground-breaking anti-corruption initiatives - turkeys not only voting for Christmas, you might say, but paying for the festive meal as well. In a collection of rooms directly under the parliamentary debating chamber, a project called "Hackers Lab" is developing new computer programmes and apps to detect corrupt behaviour. It makes use of all the published data about politicians and their spending, and then cross-references this with other information, like who owns the companies which the government uses - from major contractors right down to the taxi companies which ferry them around. "The Brazilian government is actually very transparent," says Cristiano Ferri, Hackers Lab's founder and director. "All the information about how they spend their money is available online." The problem, Ferri believes, is not one of deeds being hidden. Rather, he says, it is a matter of impunity. "Everyone in Brazil knows how things are, but we don't have enough punishment." The recent scandals have led to a few high-profile business figures receiving long prison sentences. Politicians, however, are harder to prosecute, as membership of Congress confers immunity from normal legal process. Indeed, cynics have suggested that more than a few have sought political office precisely in order to acquire such protection. Members of Congress can be charged by Brazil's Supreme Court, though this is seen as a highly-politicised institution. Many remain unconvinced that a prosecution would be successful, however strong the evidence of malfeasance. If criminal cases against politicians do go ahead, no-one will be happier perhaps than Luma Poletti, a writer for the website "Congress in Focus". They were digging up evidence of congressional mischief long before the current run of scandals, proving back in 2009 that members used public funds to buy airline tickets for their families, yet those they exposed held on to power. "They stay in the Congress for decades - it's frustrating," Luma says, standing outside the Congress building. She is another who sees signs of progress, the recent scandals, she believes, may prove a catalyst for more investigation and more prosecution. Yet she fears the Jeitinho Brasileiro attitude is deep-rooted, and will not change any time soon. "Corruption has been in our society for so many years, people have just gotten used to it." And with that she walks back into Congress, to carry on digging. @BBCPaulMoss Edinburgh Airport has launched a consultation, allowing the public to give their feedback on its "masterplan" for development from now until 2040. The proposals centre around the growth of operations on the ground, rather than routes or planned changes to flight paths above the capital. Environment campaigners have questioned the need for further expansion. An enlarged terminal building and aircraft parking area are in the plans. The scrapping of an existing contingency runway and the continued "safeguarding" of land for a new second runway are also proposed. Over the last decade, the number of passengers travelling through Edinburgh Airport has increased by 20%. Passenger numbers are predicted to rise by a further 18%, from 11.1 million last year to 13.1 million in 2020. The existing terminal building and main runway were developed in 1977, a time when the airport had fewer than one million passengers per year. The current masterplan sets out a development strategy for the "realistic and responsible" growth of the airport over the next 25 years. A more speculative plan of development going up to 2050 has also been released. The key proposals include expanding the terminal building, aircraft parking area and cargo storage facilities. Plans to improve access to the airport are also suggested with the creation of a new road linking to the Gogar Roundabout. The closure of the existing second runway, as its size means it is not suitable for frequent use, is also suggested, as is "the continued safeguarding of land for a new second runway". The document, however, adds: "This safeguarding is a long-term precaution only, as we believe that the future growth of the airport can be sustained by the current main runway only." The airport's consultation on its proposals is open for six weeks. A consultation on its airspace change programme (ACP) will take place next year. Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport chief executive, said: "At Edinburgh Airport our passenger numbers have grown more in the past three years than they did in the 10 years previous. "We've grown by one million passengers each year since 2012. We've grown our route network, serving more destinations and working with more airlines than ever. "We believe that this growth is good for Scotland." He added: "This masterplan document sets out how we think we'll grow in the decades to come and we're asking some questions around that. "Your views are important in making sure that our thinking is correct and that it fits with wider plans." The proposal for further expansion of the airport has been criticised by Transform Scotland, the campaign for sustainable transport. Director Colin Howden said: "Aviation is the most polluting form of transport and one that threatens Scotland's ability to meet its climate change commitments. "The aviation industry thinks it should be allowed to expand without restraint and without regard for Scotland's international commitments, instead expecting that other parts of the economy should bear the responsibility for cutting emissions while its growth is allowed to continue unfettered." Local campaigners Edinburgh Airport Watch added: "At peak times, its struggles to cope with passenger and traffic numbers now are already well documented - there is simply neither the demand nor the surface capacity to allow EAL to expand further. "The cost of unfettered aviation expansion is poorer air quality, more noise misery for neighbours - some 20 miles or more from the runway - and a worsening of Scotland's already enormous tourism deficit." Alun Davies told BBC's Cymru Fyw website ministers would not become a "permanent banker" for the 10 centres. The Welsh Government has spent more than £2.4m on them since 2014. Cardiff's centre had a difficult first year, following the closure of its crèche, uncertainty over the future of its bar and struggles to pay its rent. "I want to move away from the negative discussions," Mr Davies said. "Often it does not reflect what is actually happening. "I'm confident we can work together in the future and ensure the success of each centre." Mr Davies - who did not rule out stepping in if centres faced difficulties - added he would be open to establishing new centres if the demand was there. "My door is wide open to see if we can develop ideas in the future," he said. "But I don't want to see the government running these centres or being a permanent banker - I see the government's role as being in the background and not as a manager." UK taxpayers subsidise energy firms to burn wood to meet EU renewables targets. But the report from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) shows sometimes much bigger carbon savings would be achieved by leaving the wood in the forests. This suggests power firms may be winning subsidies for inadvertently making climate change even worse. The report has caused controversy within DECC as it indicates the initial subsidy rules were much too simplistic. The government has now promised to strengthen the regulations on burning wood, and to make standards mandatory. Environmentalists applauded the move but said they wanted to see details and a timetable for the new rules. They insisted that the proposed new regulations must be based on the new document. Burning biomass - such as wood - is not a zero-pollution option. It creates greenhouse gases to cut and transport the wood, and when the wood is burned. But supporters say that so long as the burned vegetation is replaced by new plants to absorb CO2 that should confer a significant advantage over using fossil fuels. And it counts as renewable energy because new trees soak up the CO2 emitted by the burned trees. The DECC report says a key error in the government's previous calculations was a failure to acknowledge the different types of impact that can be created in different types of forests when wood is removed to burn. Burning whole logs from natural forests would be counter-productive, the report says, whilst generating power from wood waste that would otherwise be burned at the roadside could provide benefits for the environment overall. DECC stepped up research on the issue after a paper by a US academic showed that burning whole trees would produce more emissions than burning coal, by the time transport emissions are taken into account. "When we first saw this research we didn't believe it," a government source told BBC News. "But we did the calculations and found that we had been wrong." Kenneth Richter from Friends of the Earth said a "new set of rules" was needed. He added: "This is really embarrassing for the government - they have finally admitted what we have been saying for a very long time. "Under the current rules there is no way of government knowing whether wood is being burned in a way that is beneficial to the climate or not." The UK's biggest power station, Drax, is switching half of its boilers from coal to wood pellets in a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The firm insists that it is using off-cuts of wood that would otherwise be waste. But the issue is complex and disputed. The firm has a wood pellet operations in the USA, which collect thinnings and off-cuts from trees. This is wood deemed appropriate to use in power stations. But there is another wood pellet plant sending biomass to the UK using whole trees from endangered swamp forests. So the DECC calculator may help government and industry determine exactly what sort of biomass it is useful to burn, but the evidence will be scattered between multiple producers in supply chains thousands of miles away. The report says there may be enough spare waste wood in America's forests to supply current UK demand sustainably. But knock-on effects are hard to calculate across an entire industry. What is the effect on soil structure and nutrients of clearing all the waste wood from a felled forest? What if the price for burnable wood outstrips the price for wood pulp, and forces the USA to import wood from elsewhere to make its paper products? American researchers wrote to the UK Energy Secretary Ed Davey saying that UK biomass policies were harming wildlife in the USA, and I understand Mr Davey sees biomass burning as a temporary solution to meet short-term carbon reduction targets. The subsidies last until 2027. Policy uncertainty after that date means investors may soon stop building new wood pelleting plants in the USA. This could put a natural brake on the expansion of the trade, which is otherwise expected to expand to as much as 23.5 million tonnes of oven-dried wood a year - a figure environmentalists say is barely credible. Dorothy Thompson, chief executive of Drax, said: "Sustainability has always been absolutely central to our biomass strategy. "The academic study by DECC confirms what Drax has always argued - that there is a right way to source biomass and a wrong way. "We welcome that it confirms the fact that where biomass is sourced sustainably major carbon savings can be delivered." She said the main generators in the UK were clubbing together to produce their own tighter rules for biomass. And she urged the UK and the EU to impose tighter standards across the entire industry as soon as possible. Dr Bernie Bulkin, former chair of the Office of Renewable Energy at DECC, said: "This is a careful piece of work that presents many different scenarios for how and where the biomass is grown, how it is transported to the UK, whether it is grown specially for this purpose or is waste, and so on. "Some of these turn out to be very advantageous from the carbon savings perspective, and some are terrible. "Some people will undoubtedly pick up on the 'bad' scenarios and highlight them. This is a mistake. "What we need to do now is put in place the systems and processes to make sure we achieve this in the best possible way."

The accord includes a recommendation that places of worship on march routes should be contacted to avoid disruption of services. It says organisers are responsible for the discipline of participants. The document asks loyal order officers and band committees to actively discourage the consumption of alcohol or use of illegal substances by parade participants before or during parades. It also suggests that a telephone number be supplied to a representative of each place of worship on parade routes. This is meant to enable parade organisers to be contacted in case of "unscheduled religious circumstances". The accord said parade organisers were responsible for the dignity and discipline of all parading participants and should ensure that no illegal flags or emblems were displayed. The governor of the Apprentice Boys, Jim Brownlee, said the document came about because a project called the Londonderry bands forum wanted to liaise with the loyal orders locally. The forum was set up to break down young people's preconceptions of marching bands and parading in Northern Ireland. Mr Brownlee said the Apprentice Boys of Derry, the Orange Order, the Royal Black sent representatives to a meeting with the forum. "We have a document. What we are looking for now is a response from the wider community. It's a commonsense document which I'm sure everyone can buy into," he said. "I would challenge anyone to say this is not a good thing. I think it is a good thing for parading in the city. "There was a significant input from the marshalling teams. These are the people who have experience in marshalling parades. "They have experience of having addressed specific issues that have occurred." Mr Brownlee said the document was basically about how to promote Protestant culture, parading culture, how individuals should behave, how they can help to promote Protestant culture in the public domain through parading and other events. "We only have to look at our recent past to realise there are challenges out there," he said. "There are a lot of misconceptions out there about Protestant culture and indeed, parading culture. That's the challenge." Mr Brownlee said that with 15,000 people taking part in a parade, there would be elements that required guidance in relation to behaviour and to discipline. "But it's not a major issue at the moment. Believe it or not, the major issue this year is how to manage a water station at the Waterside." He said the document was meant as a "tester". "We throw it out there, people will make comment upon it and we will take those issues on board. It's a first edition." He said feedback would be considered and if necessary, the document would be amended. In the past, parades have often been associated with protests and rioting. However, in recent years relations between communities and the loyal orders in Londonderry have been held up as a model for other areas. In a statement, the Orange Order said: "The Maiden City Accord is a new initiative and we hope it works successfully for the loyal orders in Londonderry. "We note the written protocol is specifically tailored to parades in the city, and in this regard is not necessarily a blueprint for parades in other areas of Northern Ireland. "However, Grand Lodge will study carefully the effects of the accord when it is fully implemented and if there are lessons for the institution as a result, then we will take them on board." Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly welcomed the document's publication, calling for it to be adopted in other areas of Northern Ireland. "In Derry, where this accord comes from, dialogue between the Apprentice Boys and residents has transformed the parading situation," he said. 'Progressive' The Northern Ireland Office also gave a positive response. "It is yet another important and progressive initiative from those involved in parading in the city," the department said in its Twitter feed. Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said: "The Maiden City Accord is a positive step forward. Parading in Londonderry has seen many constructive developments in recent years and a lot can certainly be learnt from what has been achieved to date. "I particularly welcome the proposal to make parade organisers responsible for the dignity and discipline of all participants." The 29-year-old woman was attacked in Papermill Wynd in Edinburgh at about 01:00 on Saturday 19 December. Police said she had been out in the city centre with friends and was walking home when a man approached her in Queen Street. The pair walked together until they reached Papermill Wynd, where the man assaulted her. She contacted police after returning home and detectives said they have since been pursuing various lines of inquiry to identify the man or speak with anyone who may have witnessed the attack. The suspect was described as being of South Asian appearance, in his late 20s, 5ft 7in of skinny build. He had short, dark hair and was wearing blue jeans and a dark waterproof jacket. Det Sgt Jon Pleasance, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a distressing ordeal for the victim and we have been actively conducting inquiries in the area to trace the suspect. "I would ask that anyone who remembers seeing any suspicious activity around Papermill Wynd in the early hours of 19 December contacts police immediately. "We would also ask anyone who was returning from work or a Christmas night out in the city centre that evening and remembers seeing this male approaching and then walking with the victim to get in touch." Khalid Masood killed four people in Westminster this week. It is understood his phone had connected to messaging app WhatsApp two minutes earlier. Amber Rudd said she would be meeting technology firms this week. A WhatsApp spokeswoman said the company was "horrified at the attack" and was co-operating with the investigation. Meanwhile, a 12th arrest has been made by officers investigating the attack. The 30-year-man was detained in Birmingham on Sunday on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts. All messages sent on WhatsApp have end-to-end encryption, meaning they are unreadable if intercepted by anyone, including law enforcement and WhatsApp itself. So while Masood's phone is believed to have connected with the app, police may not know what, if anything, was communicated. Speaking to BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Ms Rudd said: "It is completely unacceptable, there should be no place for terrorists to hide. "We need to make sure that organisations like WhatsApp, and there are plenty of others like that, don't provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other. "It used to be that people would steam open envelopes or just listen in on phones when they wanted to find out what people were doing, legally, through warranty. "But on this situation we need to make sure that our intelligence services have the ability to get into situations like encrypted WhatsApp." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said authorities already had "huge powers". There had to be a balance between the "right to know" and "the right to privacy", he said. The Facebook-owned company, which has a billion users worldwide, has said previously that protecting private communication is one of its "core beliefs". Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple which also uses end-to-end encryption, has previously said it would be "wrong" for governments to force Apple to "build a back door" into products. But Ms Rudd said: "I would ask Tim Cook to think again about other ways of helping us work out how we can get into the situations like WhatsApp on the Apple phone." Europol director Rob Wainwright echoed Ms Rudd's call for changes. "I would agree something has to be done to make sure that we can apply a more consistent form of interception of communication in all parts of the way in which terrorists invade our lives," he told Andrew Neil on the BBC's Sunday Politics. The victims of the Westminster attack were commemorated at the beginning of England's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley Stadium. Before kick-off, four wreaths were laid in the centre of the pitch by Metropolitan Police Acting Commissioner Craig Mackey, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, FA chairman Greg Clarke and Culture Secretary Karen Bradley. A minute's silence was also observed by fans and players. Masood, 52, killed three people and injured 50 when he drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge on Wednesday. He then fatally stabbed a police officer before being shot dead by police - all within 82 seconds. Ms Rudd would not confirm who shot Masood, amid claims it was a bodyguard for Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon. A provider could co-operate with authorities and decrypt data, says Will Knight, a senior editor at MIT Technology Review. But done properly, encrypted data can be difficult or impossible to access. WhatsApp maintains only those involved in a message can read the contents due to end-to-end encryption. There are sometimes "backdoors", Mr Knight says, and intelligence services have exploited those to retrieve the keys needed to decrypt messages. But backdoors may then be exploited by criminals, or hostile governments. Prof Ross Anderson, from Cambridge University, points out that if companies do co-operate, and try to keep quiet about it, it won't take long for the tech-savvy to cotton on. And criminals or terrorists will merely divert to one of the many other messaging services, based overseas, he adds. Scotland Yard has said it believes Masood acted alone, and while officers were "determined" to find out whether he had been inspired by terrorist propaganda, it was possible his motive would never be known. A 58-year-old man, who was arrested in Birmingham the morning after the attack under the Terrorism Act, remains in custody, while a 32-year-old woman arrested in Manchester remains on police bail. Eleven people were initially arrested over the incident and nine people in total have been released without charge. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning The 34-year-old won two Grand Slams with Wales, in a career that spanned the 2003-2015 World Cups. In all, he made 99 Test appearances, five of them in two Lions tours, and won three Six Nations with Wales. "I will attack the next chapters with the same passion, commitment and laughter as I did during my entire career," he wrote on social media. He also tweeted: "Thanks to the fans, teammates, clubs, coaches, @WelshRugbyUnion the @LionsOfficial, friends & family who have supported me over the years." The Carmarthen-born player's career has not been without controversy. He was sacked by Bayonne in October 2013, having been suspended by them a year earlier for off-field misconduct, and by Wales in July 2011 after a confrontation with a doorman in Cardiff city centre. On the field, Phillips' combative style and imposing physical presence made him Wales' number one scrum-half for much of the era since Warren Gatland took over the national team before the 2008 Six Nations. Phillips scored a try that helped Wales to victory against England at Twickenham to start that Grand Slam campaign. He was also part of the 2012 clean sweep and Wales' 2013 title win. The Lions picked Phillips for the 2009 tour of South Africa, and he played in all three Tests in their 2-1 series defeat. Two more Lions caps followed in 2013 when Gatland guided the tourists to a 2-1 win in Australia. Phillips' Wales career began against Romania in 2003 while he was understudy to fellow Wales and Lions cap Dwayne Peel at Scarlets. His last Wales cap came against Ireland in Cardiff in August 2015 as they prepared for that year's World Cup. Phillips was initially left out of coach Warren Gatland's squad for the tournament, but recalled as cover for the injured Rhys Webb before the opening game against Uruguay. However, he played no part as Wales reached the quarter-finals and retired from Test rugby in December that year. Phillips joined Cardiff Blues from Scarlets in 2005, moved to Ospreys two years later and headed to France to join Bayonne in 2011. He then played for another French Top 14 side, Racing 92, and joined English Premiership club Sale for the 2016-17 season. Forensics students will use the vacuum metal deposition system (VMD) chamber as part of their studies in "crime scene mark enhancement." The university said it was the only place in Scotland where students could access the machine. Similar devices are used by police forensics departments. The chamber heats gold and zinc, evaporating the metals which are then re-deposited as a thin layer on a target surface, revealing any prints. The machine can be used to extract a print from almost any material or object, including the new polymer £5 notes. Dr Ben Jones, head of the university's science division, said: "This is all about making sure our students have access to the latest technology and, from a research point of view, expanding on our earlier work with the UK Home Office in understanding the processes involved at the micro level to further develop the use of the technique. "Fingerprints are still used more than DNA when it comes to identification, so this piece of equipment places our students at the cutting edge of what is available in the industry." West Technology, who produce the VMD chamber, have given a £4,500 scholarship to student Paul Sheriffs, who will be using the device as part of his PhD research project. He said: "A big area of research just now centres around the new polymer £5 notes as they are very different from what we had before in terms of being able to extract a print. "It is great that the university has been able to give me access to this resource."

Media playback is not supported on this device The tourists, who have struggled with the bat in losing the first two Tests, reached 162-1 in friendly conditions. Kaushal Silva finished unbeaten on 79 and Dimuth Karunaratne, dropped by Jonny Bairstow on 28, made 50. Bairstow earlier was left on 167 not out, the second highest Test score by an England wicketkeeper, while Chris Woakes added 66 in the hosts' 416. Still, that is no more than par on a placid Lord's surface. Indeed, the average first-innings score in Tests on this ground in the past decade is 416. The nature of the wicket and the solid start they have made will give Sri Lanka hope of at least prolonging a four-match undefeated streak at Lord's that dates back to 1991. In their first three innings of the series, Sri Lanka managed to bat no longer than 43.3 overs in conditions favourable to England's pace attack in Leeds and Durham. At Lord's, however, buoyed by their second-innings 475 in Chester-le-Street, the tourists enjoyed the comparative lack of movement in the air and off the seam. Showing a greater intent to score, rather than just survive, and running well, opening pair Silva and Karunaratne added 108 for the first wicket. After Karunaratne was caught down the leg side off Steven Finn, Silva, strong through the off side, received stout support from Kusal Mendis in an unbroken partnership of 54. Media playback is not supported on this device The England attack, so rampant earlier in the series, stuck to their task and were willing to experiment with cutters and catchers in front of the bat. They were not helped by wicketkeeper Bairstow, who dropped a straightforward chance from Woakes' first delivery of the day. Left-hander Karunaratne offered the thinnest of edges that did not require Bairstow to move, but the ball hit his left glove and bounced away. The Yorkshireman, in imperious form with the bat, has now dropped three catches and missed a stumping in the series. "You don't get an easier catch than that," said former England captain Michael Vaughan on Test Match Special. "He's batting so well but he does keep dropping chances behind the stumps." Media playback is not supported on this device Still, England have been indebted to Bairstow's runs. A century in the first Test at Headingley rescued the hosts from 83-5 and here he batted through the remainder of the innings after arriving at 84-4. Unbeaten on 107 overnight, the right-hander continued to accumulate with late cuts and rapid running for his highest Test score and third in excess of 140 in his past six matches. Woakes too had the chance for a maiden Test century, but frustration in the face of left-arm spinner Rangana Herath's leg-stump line eventually resulted in a tame pat back to the bowler. England's final three wickets fell for 20 runs, leaving Bairstow one run shy of the highest score by a wicketkeeper in a Test at Lord's, the 168 by West Indies' Clyde Walcott in 1950. England all-rounder Chris Woakes: "[When Jonny Bairstow dropped Karunaratne] I was spewing, but it happens - it did wobble a bit on him. We put on a great partnership together - it was a shame that I threw it away. It's going to be tough [to get 20 wickets], but we believe that we can." Sri Lanka batsman Kaushal Silva: "It was a tough one-and-a-half days for us - we bowled very well but things didn't go our way. But when we came out to bat we tried to be positive and that helped to get us in this position. Tomorrow if we bat well and get a good total, there will be help for our spinners to do something with this wicket." Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "It's level pegging after days one and two. I'd still rather have the runs on the board - just. "Sri Lanka will need a big, big score to put England under pressure. But well played. They have played beautifully." Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott: "We know Bairstow and Jos Buttler are not specialist keepers. There is no great wicketkeeper pushing them, so England are picking batsmen who keep wicket. "England have two world-class batters, but the others have huge questions marks. England can't afford a wicketkeeper who can't bat." BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "Bairstow's confidence is so high with his batting, you hope that can rub off on his keeping. If the selectors took the gloves off him, what might that do to his batting?" Media playback is not supported on this device But how many athletes would actually dice with death in the pursuit of perfection and to achieve the ultimate dream of Olympic gold? For British judoka Kelly Edwards, who had multiple concussions in the eight months before Rio 2016, the advice from neurological specialists was clear. "They said if I carried on, I might die - it was that serious," she told BBC Sport. "Even then I was insisting - 'but it's the Olympics' - it was everything I'd thought about for four years and never considered not being there." What should have been a reality check was briefly considered 'just another challenge' before Edwards reluctantly accepted a break - meaning she would miss Rio - was not only recommended but required. "It was devastating to miss the Olympics, but if I'd carried on and tried to get there then in the worst-case scenario, I may not be here now, or be unable to continue with a 'normal' life," said the 26-year-old. Edwards' struggle to accept the decision was in part down to her passion for judo, but also the confusion around exactly how the problem had arisen. She took a minor hit to the head at an event in Mongolia in July 2015, and another in Uzbekistan three months later. Dismissing her "slow and sluggish" behaviour as jet-lag, she went on to compete in Portugal later in October - before her headaches worsened. "It was strange because I didn't feel like I had taken any big knocks," she said. "It was only when my team started looking back at video footage that we realised where the concussions may have happened." She improved after resting, before an awkward landing in a competition at the end of 2015 saw the problems return. "It felt like my head was full of cotton wool," she said. The "fogginess" in her mind cleared during a six-week break over Christmas, and in late January last year she was back hunting for an Olympic place. The 2014 Commonwealth silver medallist came through a competition in Cuba unscathed, but a 'minor' knock at the prestigious Paris Grand Slam in February 2016 prompted the symptoms to return - with a vengeance. "The hit felt like nothing, but the impact was so debilitating," she said. Edwards was immediately managed using the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool, also known as Scat 3. It includes six elements, with athletes only allowed to progress to the next phase once symptoms have ceased. She was initially ordered to rest completely and not use technology. "It impacted every part of my life," she said. "I couldn't make my own meals, and when I'd lean over to feed my cat I was getting dizzy and falling over. "I was sleeping for 16-17 hours a day and was still tired. Technology was a complete no-go - I couldn't look at my iPad, computer screen or TV for weeks." I was angry, at times really, really scared... I couldn't get my head around why it was happening Despite the precautions, her condition did not improve, and in the second phase of her recovery even going for walks and using her mobile were ruled out. She said: "I didn't think sending a few texts to friends and family was a problem, but I was showing no improvement and had to try something different." In those few hours she was awake, Edwards felt in a 'dream-like' state, where nothing was real. "I didn't feel in control of the situation - I was angry, at times really, really scared, and I couldn't get my head around why it was happening," she said. "It wasn't like a knee or shoulder problem where you're told: 'It'll be four-six weeks of recovery and this is the plan.' It was this invisible injury." Despite an increase in media coverage and heightened concerns about the long-term impact of repeated concussions on the brain - driven by research into dead American footballers and boxers - very little is known about the mechanics of the condition. In the UK, rugby union is leading the way with a new Pitch-Side Concussion Assessment (PSCA) system which aims to detect concussions early and prevent players from returning to action too soon. However, forms of diagnosis and treatment are still very much in their infancy. "The brain is so complex and I think that's why there's not a lot of information out there," said Edwards. "I didn't get a lot of answers about why I suffered repeated concussions and was hearing lots of 'we don't know' which I found bizarre and really frustrating. "Hopefully what I've been through will in some way help others." Edwards' condition had improved considerably by the time the Rio Olympics began - in April she had resumed running drills, and by July she had returned to full contact work. But that made watching from home all the more difficult. "Four years earlier, I'd been in London and had the whole arena chanting my name as I came out to compete," she said. "It was really hard not being part of an amazing Games for Team GB." Seeing team-mate Sally Conway claim bronze helped reignite the desire to win medals again, and piece by piece she rebuilt her career. "I was struggling doing forward and backward rolls, handstands and cartwheels - all things that used to be so easy," said Edwards, who as a child did gymnastics training five times a week. "When I started doing judo again, if I got thrown or hit on the head I would stop and check I was OK as I was really nervous." Her confidence grew, though, and she embarked on a run of career-best form, winning medals in all six events at the end of 2016 including first Grand Slam and Grand Prix honours. "I'm a fighter, I'm a warrior, and if you can overcome the challenges then you'll be stronger than you were before," she said. "The experience and how bad it was has given me a new lease of life and my mindset is totally different." This week, Edwards will look to prove just how far she has come by challenging for a medal at the European Championships in Poland - her first major international since the 2015 World Championships. Further concussions are possible, and there are no guarantees serious symptoms will not emerge again in the future. Dr Keith Barrow, British Judo's chief medical officer, said it was unclear whether Edwards had had three or four concussions. He added: "It was hard to tell her she had to stop pushing for the Olympics as she's an honest athlete who had worked so hard to get to Rio, but we had a duty of care. "Concussions have been linked to mental illness and dementia so we had to think about her life outside of sport as well." Despite the risks, Edwards is not ready to give up on her dreams. "There's so much I still want - like being Olympic, world and European champion - but to simplify, it's about being the best I can possibly be," she said. "I hope taking that break has put any long-term risk of [brain] damage at bay, but what fuels my life is judo and in sport there is always risk. "Some people may find that hard to understand," she said with a smile. "Us athletes are a crazy bunch!" Chabur Goc Alei was speaking after the widespread celebrations that greeted a first competitive victory for the world's newest nation. On Saturday South Sudan, which became independent in 2011, beat this year's Africa Cup of Nations semi-finalists Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in Juba. "Through football, we can stop the war," Chabur told BBC Sport. "In football, we are talking about a peaceful nation because we don't have tribes or political parties." The victory for South Sudan, a Fifa member since 2012, came in a qualifier for the 2017 Nations Cup. The country has enjoyed little peace since it seceded from Sudan, with the country descending into crisis in December 2013. This was sparked by a power struggle between President Salva Kiir and his former vice-president Riek Machar, who now leads the rebels. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and left more than two million homeless. Despite the clear troubles, Chabur is hopeful that the national football team - which is represented by various tribes - can smooth the path to peace. "The reaction on Saturday night was amazing because all the people of South Sudan became one in one day," he said. "We passed a good message that in sport, all of us are one. "Still now, I am receiving messages from people outside of my tribe and political background. "Even the rebels who are fighting the government were celebrating this victory, because the win was in the name of South Sudan - not any tribe or political party. "It was a gift from the national team to the people of South Sudan, and we hope to repeat it because we promised that we can bring unity and harmony to South Sudan." Let us say it was a surprise for us Last month a peace deal was signed between the government and rebel forces but many question whether the agreement will hold given the collapse of at least seven previous ceasefire treaties. Meanwhile, the win over Equatorial Guinea has lifted South Sudan to second in Group C, with three points, one behind table-toppers Mali. The historic victory came in South Sudan's 10th competitive game, but their very first on home soil. Atak Lual's goal was the first the team had managed in seven games. Despite their poor recent form, Chabur is hoping that South Sudan can achieve the near-impossible by finishing top of their group to qualify for the 2017 Nations Cup, which will be held in Gabon. "We still have a lot of games and a lot of work to do to reach that step, but we hope we can qualify for the first time in 2017," he ventured. "This victory is going to help us in our Fifa ranking (currently, 198th out of 209) and it can also help the development of football in the country, and our players too." South Sudan's next Nations Cup qualifiers come in March when they host Benin before facing the same opposition in Cotonou a few days later. Prior to that, they play Mauritania on a home-and-away basis next month as the teams meet in the preliminary round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. "We hope to repeat victory when we play Mauritania in October. All of us are now talking about game and the need to win it," said Chabur. "The political situation has affected football and sport in general, as well as other cultural activities, because when you are in war the government cannot do a lot of things concerning entertainment. "They have a lot of priorities so politics is affecting sports, but we need to look forward to having calm and peace - and then we can do our sporting activities in harmony." Only the 13 group winners and two best second-placed teams will qualify for the 2017 Nations Cup finals. Speaking at talks on Middle East security, Ash Carter said the troops would include special forces trainers, advisers and bomb disposal teams. They will join 300 US special forces who are already in Syria. Last month a US-backed coalition of Kurdish and Arab fighters said it had begun an operation to capture Raqqa. The Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) had been gaining ground in areas north of the so-called Islamic State's "capital" in Syria. Speaking on Saturday at a meeting in Bahrain, Mr Carter said the 200 additional troops would "continue organising, training, equipping, and otherwise enabling capable, motivated, local forces" to take the fight to IS. A US-led coalition has been fighting IS - mainly through air strikes - in Syria and in neighbouring Iraq. But the main conflict in Syria pits the government of President Bashar al-Assad - assisted by Russian air power - against rebels backed by Turkey, Gulf states and the US. One key battleground is Aleppo, once Syria's largest city, where pro-government forces continue their advance in eastern, rebel-held areas. In a BBC interview broadcast on Saturday, the UN special envoy for Syria warned that a government victory in Aleppo would not end the war. "A serious discussion about the future political set-up of Syria" is the only way to achieve peace, Staffan de Mistura told BBC Radio 4's Today. The only way to win peace and stability in Syria, he continued, was a power-sharing agreement. Syria's army seized 85% of the rebel-held part of the city in recent weeks. The intensification in fighting has forced tens of thousands to seek refuge in government-controlled territory. Russian officials say up to 10,500 left during a temporary humanitarian pause on Thursday alone. Mr Carter added that Russia, Syria's main ally, had "only inflamed the civil war and prolonged suffering". Meanwhile, foreign ministers from the US and Europe, as well as officials from Arab countries are discussing the Syrian conflict in Paris. Saturday's talks were expected to focus on ways to protect civilians, as well as the future of the rebels in eastern Aleppo. US Secretary of State John Kerry, who is attending the talks, sought to lower expectations saying: "I know people are tired of these meetings, I'm tired of these meetings. "But what am I supposed to do? Go home and have a nice weekend in Massachusetts, while people are dying? Sit there in Washington and do nothing?" He described the conflict in Aleppo as the worst "since World War Two". The UN estimates that up to 100,000 people are squeezed into an "ever-shrinking" rebel pocket in eastern Aleppo with little or no access to food or water. Aleppo was once Syria's commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Assad began in 2011. It has been divided in roughly two since mid-2012. But in the past year, Syrian troops broke the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes. 14 March 2016 Last updated at 15:10 GMT More than 30,000 local and international artists performed at the event. Produced by Vikas Pandey, filmed and edited by Devashish Kumar Forty English radio stations were facing cuts of £15m and 280 jobs as part of plans to slash 20% from the BBC's budget over five years. But Lord Patten said the cuts would have a "disproportionate impact" on the BBC's output and reputation. Thousands of listeners, MPs and local authorities complained about the plans, saying the stations had a vital role. The BBC Trust - which is the corporation's governing body - made its decision after hearing "real concerns" during a public consultation. Lord Patten said: "Local and regional services in England provide something unique for audiences that can otherwise be neglected by the mainstream media. The BBC cannot afford to get these changes wrong." The proposals were announced last October by director general Mark Thompson, following a lower-than-expected licence fee settlement. Several stations faced losing between a quarter and a third of their staff, with neighbouring stations expected to share programmes in the afternoon. Staff warned Mr Thompson at the Radio Festival in Salford last November that cuts would damage programme quality. Radio Merseyside presenter Roger Phillips said the station would lose 15 of its 46 staff, meaning "we can't provide quality at all". A group of writers and cultural figures from Liverpool - including Willy Russell, Alan Bleasdale and Roger McGough - wrote an open letter to The Times complaining of the proposals, saying the station gave "voice to the beating heart" of the community. Lord Patten said the trust had asked the BBC to review three key areas. Campaigning group Voice of the Listener and Viewer welcomed Lord Patten's speech and said in a statement: "We are delighted because this clearly demonstrates that the Trust does respond to what viewers and listeners want and the local cuts are very unpopular." The Trust also asked the BBC to re-consider plans to merge regional current affairs programming, meaning fewer shows covering larger geographical areas. And it suggested that the weekly current affairs show on BBC 5 live should be saved from cancellation. BBC English regions controller David Holdsworth told staff in an email: "I am sure anyone working at one of our Local Radio stations or in one of our Inside Out teams will be pleased by this news. "It is also gratifying to see that so many listeners and viewers value public service broadcasting at a local level and wrote to the Trust to say so. Put simply, it is clear many listeners and viewers feel passionately about what you do.‬ "However it is also the case that every pound not saved in these areas will have to be found somewhere in the BBC, as the challenges set by the licence fee settlement remain the same, and we will have to bear this in mind as we make our revised proposals, which will still include savings."‬ Lord Patten said he hoped the changes would cost the BBC "no more than £10m", which should come from "non-content budgets". Director General Mark Thompson said the process "will be challenging" but he was glad that the trust had "endorsed the great majority of our proposals" to save money. In a speech, he said it could not be "justified" that the US accounted for about 70% of Nato defence spending. He also said the UK would not seek to prevent the EU from forming a closer common defence policy. During his election campaign, Mr Trump was critical of Nato, describing the Western military alliance as obsolete. He suggested that the US would think twice about coming to the aid of any Nato ally under attack if it had not paid its "fair share". The UK, which meets the commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defence, has also been urging other countries to increase their contributions. Mr Johnson, in a speech to the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House, said the UK must "redouble our resolve to defend and preserve the best of the rules-based international order" to prevent a return to "an older and more brutal system where the strong are free to devour the weak". "We have to acknowledge that in many respects the world is not in good shape. We have the cult of the strong man, we have democracy in retreat, we have an arc of instability across the Middle East from Iraq to Syria to Libya. What is the answer of the UK, is it to cower and put the pillow over our heads? Emphatically not." He committed Britain to the concept of collective Nato defence: "At the heart of this institution - Nato, the most durable and successful defence alliance in history - lies the security guarantee contained in the North Atlantic Treaty Article 5, that an attack on any one member shall be considered an attack against them all. "And in offering that guarantee, President-elect Donald Trump has a point. It cannot be justified that one Nato ally, America, accounts for about 70% of the alliance's defence spending while the other 27 countries manage only 30% between them. " He said every Nato member should meet the agreed target of spending 2% of GDP on defence, and 20% of their defence budget on new equipment. Mr Johnson said Britain would not oppose attempts by the European Union to form a common defence policy: "You know, if they want to do that, fine. Obviously they should also spend 2% of their GDP on defence, it might be the first thing to get right, but we are not there to block or to impede further steps towards EU integration if that is what they so desire." And the foreign secretary said that strong defence did not preclude negotiations and that he believed pressure could be brought to bear on Russia - amid tensions with Nato over Crimea and the bombing campaign in Syria. "We can't normalise relations with Russia or go back to business as usual. But as I've said time and again, Russia could win the acclaim of the world by halting its bombing campaign of Syria, delivering Assad to peace talks, abiding by the letter of the Minsk agreements in Ukraine." Starting in third place, the pair won the team elimination race and then the day's first madison, with Wiggins claiming victory in the derny final. The teams of Kenny De Ketele / Moreno De Pauw and Elia Viviani / Iljo Keisse are only one lap down and both have more points than the leading pair. Wiggins, 36, has hinted the race in the city of his birth could be his last. After finishing second to De Pauw and De Ketele of Belgium in last month's Six Day London event, the five-time Olympic champion said he could be tempted to race there again next year. But on Monday he told reporters to ask him on Sunday, at the end of the Ghent event, whether this would be his last race. Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide. Eoin Morgan's men will also face South Africa, West Indies and a qualifier in the second group stage of the tournament which begins on 8 March. Ireland and Scotland enter at the first group stage, but have been drawn in separate pools of four teams. In the women's competition, England are in the same group as India, and Ireland will face champions Australia. Pakistan, who had threatened to boycott the tournament over a delay in agreeing a bilateral series with India, have been placed in the same group as their bitter rivals. Men's first round (group winners progress to second round) Men's second round (top two progress to semi-finals) Men's fixtures in full Women's first round (top two progress to semi-finals) A qualifying game between Zimbabwe and Hong Kong will begin the tournament in Nagpur, with both the men's and women's finals played as a double-header at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on 3 April. The semi-finals will also be double-headers, in New Delhi and Mumbai respectively. The men's tournament will carry total prize money of $5.6m (£3.7m), an increase of 86% from the 2014 tournament in Bangladesh. The women's prize money is up 122% to $400,000 (£264,000). "The ICC World Twenty20 is an event which puts the world's best cricketers in the shortest format of the game against each other in a nation versus nation contest," said International Cricket Council chief executive Dave Richardson. "The Twenty20 format provides the perfect vehicle by which the ICC can further globalise the game, providing international exposure and opportunity to our top Associate and Affiliate members. "The ICC World Twenty20 event structure is designed to provide highly competitive matches throughout, with eight evenly matched sides fighting it out in the first round and the best two then getting in the mix with the top eight ranked teams in the Super 10 stage where the intensity and competition will be of the very highest level." The World T20 has been held on five occasions since the inaugural tournament in 2007, with five different men's champions - India, Pakistan, England, West Indies and Sri Lanka. The men's 2016 event will be last biennial tournament, with the competition switching to a four-year cycle. The women's tournament, which began in 2009 and has been won only by England (once) and Australia (three times), is to remain biennial. Abdurraouf Eshati, who had an address in Wrexham and was due to stand trial at the Old Bailey, changed his plea. The 29-year-old admitted collecting information for terrorist purposes on or around 1 December, 2014. The charge related to two electronic documents on the purchase of ammunition and cargo plane hire. The court heard the documents outlined a plan to send the huge consignment of ammunition to Libya, via a contact in Italy, in support of the Zintan people of the eastern region. Eshati was caught trying to get to France in the back of a lorry with 19 other people at the port of Dover in Kent on 30 November last year. On his mobile phone, police found an invoice from an arms supplier for the sale and delivery of ammunition to Tobruk in Libya and a document about chartering a cargo jet for £163,000 for use in Libya. Eshati also sent a contact photographs of activists from the militia group Ansar Al Sharia, a beheading and armaments in action, demonstrating his allegiance to the Zintan people. Police also raided Eshati's address in Wrexham as part of the investigation. Meanwhile, investigations in Italy revealed the defendant had been caught up in a determined attempt to get arms into Libya in plain contravention of the UN embargo. But cash for the hire of the cargo jet went missing and the deal was never completed. Eshati's role was to translate the documents for a friend and senior Libyan Army officer, Ibrahim El-Tumi, who was believed to have brokered the deal. On his arrest, Eshati told police he had been in Britain since 2009 on a visa and later as an asylum seeker. He said his father had been a senior figure in the Gaddafi regime and was now in prison in Tripoli while his two brothers had been murdered. However, this was a false claim. Eshati has also admitted seeking leave to remain in the United Kingdom by deception on or before 14, December 2012, by falsely claiming he was at risk of persecution if returned to Libya. He is in custody and will be sentenced on Tuesday. The alleged attack happened in Chigwell, Essex, on 31 October when the officer tried to breathalyse a driver. Tony Turner, 36, of Vincent Road, Dagenham, has been charged with a number of offences including assault and aggravated vehicle-taking. He was remanded after appearing at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. Mr Turner will next appear at Chelmsford Crown Court in February. Charges against him include: assault, furnishing false information, driving other than in accordance with a licence, possessing identity documents with intent, aggravated vehicle-taking, escape from lawful custody and driving without insurance. The police car was later found in Romford with the Labrador dog unharmed. The 26-year-old secured her place through the Oceania qualifying tournament in Australia, beating Fiji's Grace Yee 11-2, 11-3, 11-4, 11-7. "I can't believe I'm a part of Australian sporting history," she said. Tapper was born with nerve damage to her right shoulder and arm and wears a brace on her arm to help stabilise her serve. "I was ridiculously nervous before my matches today," she added. "I am so excited and stoked with this result, it has come from a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication and a lot of support. "Rio is going to be an experience of a lifetime. I want to do the best I can in the Olympics and win gold in the Paralympics." Tapper, who has already qualified for the Rio Paralympics, missed out on a medal on her Paralympic debut in London, where she finished fourth. However she won a team bronze while competing against able-bodied players at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Foreign Secretary William Hague was delivering the findings of a review into claims an SAS officer helped Delhi plan the raid which killed hundreds. The storming of the Golden Temple in the city of Amritsar was intended to flush out Sikh separatists. Mr Hague said UK assistance was "purely advisory" and given months beforehand. The inquiry was launched last month after declassified documents were said to suggest Margaret Thatcher's government was involved in planning the raid, called Operation Blue Star. Official figures put the death toll at 575, but Mr Hague said other reports suggested "as many as 3,000 people were killed including pilgrims caught in the crossfire". "This loss of life was an utter tragedy," he said. "Understandably members of the Sikh community around the world still feel the pain and suffering caused by these events." By Sanjoy MajumderBBC News, in Delhi The military commander who led Operation Blue Star, Lt Gen Kuldeep Singh Brar, has told the BBC that he had no knowledge of any advice from Britain to India. In 2007 a former Indian intelligence officer, B Raman, claimed agents from the UK's MI5 had visited the Golden Temple four months before the raid. The UK government review appears to corroborate the claim that a British adviser was sent. But it also appears that the British advice was limited to a few people and certainly not shared with military commanders. In India, Operation Blue Star has always been seen as a military disaster, which led to the loss of hundreds of lives - including those of civilians - and to the eventual assassination of the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The latest revelations will only lead to more questions about the assault on the Golden Temple, why it was a disaster and if, in fact, it could have been averted. Delivering his statement, Mr Hague set out the UK's involvement in planning for the raid. He told the Commons that the British government had received an urgent request for help from Indian authorities who wanted to regain control of the temple from Sikh militants. In response, an unnamed British military adviser was sent to India in February 1984, and he recommended any attack should be a last resort, MPs heard. The adviser suggested using an element of surprise, as well as helicopters, to try to keep casualty numbers low - features which were not part of the final operation, Mr Hague said. No equipment or training were offered, Mr Hague said, and the Indian plan "changed significantly" in the following three months, to cope with a considerably larger dissident force and extensive fortifications within the temple complex. The investigation, carried out by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, involved searching 200 files and 23,000 documents. Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I hope the manner in which we have investigated these dreadful events will provide some reassurance to the Sikh community, here in Britain and elsewhere." He added: "A single UK military officer provided some advice. But critically, this advice was not followed, and it was a one-off." Retired Lt Gen Kuldeep Singh Brar, who led Operation Blue Star, maintains he had no advice or support from Britain. "If some things went around months earlier or weeks earlier with other agencies, intelligence agencies, I am not aware of them," he told the BBC. "From the time I was given command of Operation Blue Star until I planned it and executed it, let me emphatically tell you that there was no involvement whatsoever as far as the British are concerned." Paul Uppal, the UK's only Sikh MP, said many Sikhs would be "relieved that it was just purely advice that was given". He praised the speed and thoroughness of the review and said it could be an "important step" towards "some closure" for Sikhs. But Lord Indarjit Singh, director of the Network of Sikh Organisations, called Mr Hague's statement "smug and condescending". On the claim that UK advice had a "limited impact" of the Golden Temple attack, Lord Singh said: "It is like saying that I had only a minimal involvement in a massacre or a holocaust." He said the language in the documents was "insulting" to Sikhs - suggesting they were all extremists - and the UK's real motivation in assisting India was keeping its arms contracts. But Mr Hague said the review had found "no evidence" UK military advice in February 1984 had been "linked to defence sales or any other policy issue". Jasvir Singh, director of the City Sikhs Network, which represents Sikh professionals in the UK, said the information disclosed in the review "harks back" to colonial times. "I think there are lots of people in the Sikh community who are upset that the British could be involved in this, even to a limited extent," he said. Mr Singh said many details about British involvement in the 1984 attack were still unclear, and called for "transparency" from the authorities. UK Sikh groups have said the government review should have looked not only at June 1984 but also the events that followed, and Mr Singh also criticised this "narrow scope". The Indian government said the UK had kept it "informed on this matter". "We have noted the report and the statement made," an Indian foreign ministry spokesman said. David Cameron ordered the review last month after Labour MP Tom Watson said he had seen papers from Margaret Thatcher "authorising Special Air Services (SAS) to work with the Indian government". Mr Watson cited two letters released under the 30-year rule. He said a 1984 letter from the prime minister's office stated that a British adviser had "visited India and drawn up a plan" which had been approved by the Indian government. Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said "serious questions" remained about British involvement, and called for all relevant documents to be released. The Sikh separatists at the Golden Temple in 1984 had been demanding an independent homeland - called Khalistan - in Punjab. In October 1984 Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in what was thought to be a revenge attack for what happened at the Golden Temple. A month later, more than 3,000 people were killed in anti-Sikh riots across India. The scheme is one of the largest ever at a FTSE 100 company outside banking. The biggest beneficiary will be chief executive Jeff Fairburn, who could earn more than £100m. Mike Fox, from Royal London Asset Management, said the payments were too high "in all circumstances". He called on the board to show restraint in the light of the housing crisis and government support for the housebuilding industry. When the scheme was put in place, the housing market had begun to recover from the 2008 recession. About 150 managers were given the opportunity to earn shares worth up to 10% of the company's total value, provided they hit tough targets on returning money to investors. The company recently said it was running well ahead of those targets, and analysts say it is likely the scheme will pay out in full. Persimmon shares have more than tripled in value since the incentive plan was put in place, rising from £6.20 to about £20. Disclosure of the size of the payments is likely to stoke the debate over executive compensation. There has been a string of investor rebellions against pay deals this year, and in April a majority of shareholders voted against a £14m package for BP boss Bob Dudley. Shareholders cannot veto amounts paid, but do have the final say on companies' pay policies. Persimmon's scheme has been backed by most shareholders - they have been well rewarded as the share price has risen and the company has handed back cash - but some remain vehemently opposed. Mr Fox, head of sustainable investment at Royal London Asset Management, which voted against the deal at its inception and every year since, said it gave away too much of the company. Other critics of the scheme say Persimmon executives are being handsomely rewarded simply for being in charge during a recovery in the housing market. The company has defended the payouts, saying that since the scheme was put in place. Persimmon has increased the number of new homes it builds by half and invested more than £2bn in new land. Over the same period it has handed back £1bn to shareholders. "This is a long-term plan that runs for almost a decade which is designed to drive outperformance through the housing cycle and to incentivise the management to deliver the capital return, grow the business and increase the share price," the company said. The new £20 note is due to be introduced by 2020, but the tender for production has been put on hold. Vegans, Hindus and Sikhs have objected to the tallow used in plastic notes. The Bank said it was now assessing whether palm oil or coconut oil should be used instead. However, the announcement proved controversial with conservation groups, who warned that palm oil production can wreck rainforests and displace people living in them. "It would depend on where the Bank of England source it," said Rachel Agnew of the Rainforest Foundation. "Whether it is sustainable is the issue." Palm oil production was responsible for 8% of the world's deforestation between 1990 and 2008. However, in its statement, the Bank of England says it is committed to using sustainable levels of palm oil, should that eventually be chosen for the new notes. And it says that the amounts of oil needed are so small that there would be no need for an increase in global production. The Bank has also published an independent report on the separate environmental impacts of palm oil, coconut oil and tallow. Nevertheless the Rainforest Foundation takes issue on how sustainability is certified. Doug Maw, who started a petition about the use of animal fat in the fiver, said he was disappointed by the Bank's decision to consider palm oil. He met the Bank's chief cashier, Victoria Cleland, in January to discuss the issue. "In my meeting I highlighted palm oil as something they should avoid doing," he told the BBC. "The destruction of habitat caused by over-production of palm oil is contributing to the near-extinction of the orangutan." The existing £5 plastic note, and the new £10 note due for release in September, will continue to use trace amounts of animal fat. The Bank has said it is not practical to change the way such notes are made. Matthew Oliver said he was "over the moon" after his pumpkin weighed-in at 95st (605kg) at the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth festival in Southampton. He now holds the UK record for the biggest pumpkin grown outdoors. The horticulturist, from Essex, grew the gourd from a seed which came from the current world record holder. Mr Oliver, who works at RHS Hyde Hall near South Woodham Ferrers, said: " I'm so happy, but I'm not sure at this stage if I'll ever do it again." The parent pumpkin was grown in Switzerland in 2014 by Beni Meier, who still holds the world record for the heaviest gourd at 166st (1,054kg). Mr Oliver's pumpkin seed was planted in mid April. He said it took six days to germinate before becoming a "vigorous grower". A sling and forklift was used to lift the pumpkin before the weigh-in at the annual event at Royal Victoria Park. Writer Rachel Wright, of Southend, Essex, said 100% attendance awards "demonise the weak". Mrs Wright said she is particularly attuned to this issue because one of her three sons has cerebral palsy. "You get rewarded for hard work. They don't give you a reward if you have brown hair," she added. She has written a blog about her concerns which has been viewed on Facebook by more than two-and-half million people, she said. Her three children are Sam, 11, who has cerebral palsy, Jonah, 10, who received the 100% attendance award, and two-year-old Ethan. She said she told Jonah: "You will not get a reward for not being sick." Mrs Wright, who has written a book about her experiences bringing up a child with cerebral palsy called The Skies I'm Under, said there are children at the school with asthma and she does not think they should be penalised for not having a 100% attendance. In her blog she said: "In this family you are not shamed for ill health, vulnerability or weakness. In this house you are not encouraged to spread germs when you are not well. In this house we look after ourselves and the weakest amongst us." She said said she did not want to "victimise" the school as this is a common practice, but she wanted to spark a debate about her concerns. "I know the school is trying to prevent absences, but I don't think this is the way to do it," she added. James Courtenay, executive councillor for children and learning at education authority Southend Council, a unitary council, said: "With school attendance so crucial to a child's education and the clear link to attainment it is easy to see why schools reward attendance in this way. "However I can also understand Mrs Wright's view, who makes some interesting and eloquent points in her blog. "It is a difficult situation for schools but ultimately it is a matter for individual schools to decide on." The Department for Education said it would not comment on awards for attendance as this would be a school decision. The latest statistics show that councils across Scotland are now collecting more of the money they are due. Nationally, the collection rate for the tax rose again slightly to a figure of 95.4%. The lowest collection rate was in Dundee, where it stood at 93%. Councils say anyone who has difficulty paying their council tax should contact them as early as possible to discuss possible solutions. For many years the collection rate for the council tax was relatively low - in part the legacy of deliberate non payment of the community charge or poll tax in the early 1990s. In 2004 the collection rate in Glasgow was just 85%. Now it is almost 95%. The areas with the highest collection rates included Stirling, East Renfrewshire and Orkney, where it was about 97%. The pressure on local authority budgets in recent years has made it more vital than ever for councils to collect as much council tax as possible. It has been hard for some to make further major improvements in payment rates in recent years. However, some say schemes to make it easier to pay - for instance spreading payments over 12 months instead of 10 - have helped people on tight budgets avoid arrears. The figures also show that councils are still owed 3% of the council tax they should have been paid in 2004/05. Poll tax arrears from the early 1990s were officially written off by the Scottish government earlier this year. Councils are still entitled to pursue historic council tax arrears. However, in practice, there are often questions about whether the time and effort involved to recover what may be relatively small amounts from several years ago are the best use of resources. Across the country as a whole, prices rose by 7.2%, compared to 6.9% in 2015. The average price of a house or flat reached £220,000 in the year to the end of December, the ONS said. The region with the largest increase was the East of England (11.3%), followed by the South East (8.5%). After Shetland, the place where prices rose fastest was Basildon, in Essex, which saw an average rise of 17.3%. Nearby Maldon saw prices go up by 16.2%. Prices fell most dramatically in Aberdeen, down 9.8%. The market there has suffered from a downturn in the oil industry. Most experts believe house price inflation in 2017 will be much lower than in either of the two previous years. Where can I afford to live? Gilston Hill Wind Farm Ltd wants to put up seven turbines on land north west of Gilston Farm, near Heriot. A 16-turbine project in the same area - straddling the boundary with Midlothian - was turned down in 2013 after an appeal to the Scottish government. A fresh planning application has now gone to Scottish Borders Council. Developers said that the new proposals had a "much smaller layout footprint", which would "dramatically" reduce the landscape impact.

But how do you explain that to someone who didn't listen or didn't get the jokes? "I'm not sure what we've lost but it feels like a moment," was one conversation I had with a BBC boss. I sat there nodding, equally struggling to think past the cliches people write about Wogan. Then it came to me, PG Wodehouse. He was president of the PG Wodehouse Society: Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Gussie Fink-Nottle - all the characters sort of echo the mood of a morning with Wogan. The emails from Chuffer Dandridge said it all. Mark Lawson writing in The Guardian mentions the influence of Brian O'Nolan and his books written under the name Flann O'Brien. The mood is light, silly, surreal but the comedy is deeply clever. Suddenly it made sense. The Wogan mood was set fast in an imaginative world created by a childhood steeped in Billy Bunter, Just William, half-remembered Latin, the Goons, Round the Horne and Janet and John books. The barely broadcast-able rewritings of the now-grown-up Janet and John that so amused him sounded odd and out of place when replayed on other radio programmes. The joke depended on the atmosphere and, wonderful as the Today Programme is. it struggles with the old fashioned joy of half concealed smut. The other problem is that Janet and John were on their way out in the 1970s. Those under 45 might know they were reading books for the under-fives but unless you had actually sat in a dusty classroom wondering what was the point of reading when the stories were so unfathomably dull then I doubt you'd have enjoyed the parodies in quite the same way. Wogan's radio show was a shared joke based on the sort of shared reference points that binds a nation together. The passing of Wogan isn't just the passing of a great broadcaster - it creates a feeling that I haven't got a word for. I don't know if it exists (I bet there's one for it in German) but it's this - that slightly dispiriting deflation when a joke or a reference or even a mood you express is met with blank incomprehension. Wogan was the master of the shared joke and now there's one less person to share the joke with. Oh, I think I know what the word is now. It's feeling old. Tameside Hospital said it was doing so because of a significant increase during the last year in the number of suspected malnourished patients. The hospital will soon start working with the Trussell Trust, which has a network of food banks across Tameside. There will be a central collection point and several "bins" where staff and visitors can leave contributions. Volunteers will take the donated food to a warehouse in Ashton-under-Lyne. Emergency boxes will then be distributed discreetly to vulnerable patients when they are discharged. Tameside Hospital Chief Executive Karen James said there was "great enthusiasm" among her staff to tackle malnourishment. "The majority of colleagues live in the community they serve, and some will be aware - either first hand, or through family and friends - of other neighbours who are struggling to cope," she said. Gwen Drain, manager of the Tameside East food bank, said she was "delighted by the hospital's approach". She added: "Today in Tameside there are families struggling to put food on the table. For people on low incomes, a sudden crisis - redundancy, benefit delay or even an unexpected bill - can mean going hungry. "Every day parents skip meals to feel their children and people are forced to choose between paying the rent and eating." The number of malnourished patients in English and Welsh hospitals has risen from 5,469 to 6,520 in the past year, according to the Department of Health-funded Health and Social Care Information Centre. 27 November 2015 Last updated at 01:04 GMT As one of the BBC's 100 Women 2015, she talks to Zeinab Badawi about justice, gender, and race.

A top official told the BBC there were "limits" to how long Russia, a key ally of the Syrian government, would wait. Under a deal which has halted fighting in Syria, only so-called Islamic State (IS) and a group previously officially linked to al-Qaeda can be targeted. Meanwhile, the UN is still waiting to be able deliver aid to besieged Aleppo. Some 20 trucks have been waiting for safe passage to cross from Turkey into Syria and on to rebel-held east Aleppo since the cessation of hostilities came into effect on Monday. The UN however says it has not yet received permits from the Syrian government to allow the trucks into opposition areas, where at least 250,000 people are in desperate need of food and medicine. Russia said Syrian government troops had begun to withdraw from Castello Road on the outskirts of Aleppo - the route through which the trucks will pass - on Thursday but this has not been independently confirmed. Syrian and rebel forces are meant to pull back from the road to allow aid convoys through as part of the US-Russian deal which led to the cessation of hostilities. A UK-based monitoring group said Russian troops were replacing Syrian government forces along the road. Rebel groups said they would not withdraw from around Castello Road until government forces did. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told the BBC his country was confident that Syria would honour the ceasefire agreement but had "more doubts about the opposition". He said the US needed to do more to persuade "moderate" rebel groups to disassociate themselves from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which is the strongest jihadist rebel group and is excluded from the ceasefire. If the cessation holds for seven days, the US and Russia have agreed to jointly plan attacks on Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which was previously known as al-Nusra, and IS. However, other rebel groups, many of them Western-backed, have shown no sign of separating from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, to which they are strategically allied in some areas. The US "have been promising to do the maximum possible to separate the moderate opposition from the Nusra Front since February", when a previous cessation of hostilities deal was agreed, said Mr Bogdanov. Since then, the US had been saying "just hold on", he said. "We're waiting, but there are limits," the Russian official added. Mr Bogdanov said the current deal was "the only plan on the table". "We have no Plan B," he said. "Massive amounts of money" were owed, he said, voicing a long-held US concern that others are not paying enough. But Nato states' contributions are voluntary and a target of spending 2% of GDP on defence is only a guideline. The alliance later agreed that member-states would report back annually on defence spending to Nato. Again condemning Monday's bombing in Manchester, Mr Trump said terrorism must be "stopped in its tracks". He called for a moment of silence in memory of the 22 adults and children killed in the "savage attack". Before visiting Nato's new headquarters, which was formally opened at Thursday's gathering, Mr Trump met several EU leaders for the first time, including France's new President, Emmanuel Macron. His first foreign tour as president will end on the Italian island of Sicily at a G7 summit on Friday. For those within Nato uncertain about President Trump's commitment to the alliance, his brief visit to open the new headquarters building in Brussels will have provided little reassurance. The commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in Nato still seems unclear as to how its defence resources are generated. He spoke again of countries who fall short of the Nato defence spending target as "owing" money from past years - which is not how things work at all. He made what seemed intended as an amusing aside, noting he had not asked what the new headquarters building had cost. Well, he ought to know because the US has provided its share of the funding! And there was no explicit re-statement of his administration's commitment to Nato's mutual security guarantees - the bedrock of the alliance. The mere fact that this question is raised at all shows just how uneasy remains the relationship between Mr Trump and the organisation of which his country is the leading member. According to Nato's 2016 annual report, only five countries met the 2% defence spending target - the US, the UK, Greece, Poland and Estonia. The alliance hopes that all 28 member-states will reach this target by 2024. "This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States, and many of these nations owe massive amounts of money from past years and [from] not paying in those past years," Mr Trump said. Germany spent 1.2% on defence in that period, but Berlin argues that its spending on development aid also contributes to international security. Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg announced after Thursday's talks that member-states would begin submitting annual national plans this year in the interests of transparency. "Trump has been clear on his commitment to Nato," he insisted. "But President Trump has also been clear in the message to all allies that we have to deliver on the pledge we made to increase defence spending." Mr Trump has been criticised for his admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his administration is embroiled in allegations of close ties with Russian interests. But at Nato HQ, he said: "The Nato of the future must include a great focus on terrorism and immigration, as well as on threats from Russia and on Nato's eastern and southern borders." There was some concern that Mr Trump had not mentioned Article Five, Nato's commitment to mutual defence in the event of an attack on a member, but an unnamed White House official told Reuters news agency that the president stood united with other Nato leaders. Earlier, European Council President Donald Tusk said after meeting Mr Trump: "I'm not 100% sure we can say that we have a common position... on Russia although when it comes to the conflict on Ukraine we were on the same line." "Terrorism must be stopped in its tracks or the horror you saw in Manchester, and so many other places, will continue forever," he said. "You have thousands and thousands of people pouring into our various countries and spreading throughout, and in many cases we have no idea who they are. We must be tough, we must be strong and we must be vigilant." Earlier, he condemned the leaking of details of the investigation to US media. It has agreed to take a bigger role in the campaign against so-called Islamic State (IS) and others, but France and Germany insist the move is mostly symbolic. There are concerns that Nato joining the anti-IS coalition could lead to the alliance becoming embroiled in post-conflict Iraq or Libya as it did in Afghanistan, says the BBC's Jonathan Marcus. "Some issues remain open, like climate and trade," Mr Tusk said after he and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker met Mr Trump. EU leaders are concerned that Mr Trump may abandon a US commitment to reduce greenhouse gases under the UN Paris accord. Mr Juncker said that at his meeting with Mr Trump, both sides had emphasised "that we should have free but fair competition". "There's going to be a Commission delegation and a Trump delegation in the next few weeks to come together on trade matters because we felt there was too much divergence, too much divergence in our analysis and our measures." The atmosphere between the US conservative and the French centrist appeared strained when they met at the US embassy in Brussels. The two leaders clasped each other's hands, leaning in towards each other slightly. Mr Trump started to pull away, but Mr Macron held on tighter and refused to let him go, the BBC's Tara McKelvey reports. Another awkward moment came at Nato headquarters when a smiling Mr Trump pushed past the Prime Minister of Montenegro, DuÅ¡ko Markovic. Melania Trump attended the meeting with President Macron and later spent time with his wife Brigitte, visiting the Magritte museum of surreal art in Brussels. Too often grieving relatives were shut out of investigations or left without clear answers, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said. The report is the culmination of a one-year inquiry on the back of some high-profile cases of neglect. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is expected to make health trusts publish statistics on preventable deaths. Prominent recent cases include the deaths of 33-year-old Richard Handley and 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk. Connor, who had a learning disability and epilepsy, died in 2013 while receiving care at an Oxfordshire treatment centre run by Southern Health NHS Trust. Initially the trust classified Connor's death as a result of natural causes after he drowned in a bath. Following campaigns by his family, an independent investigation found his death was entirely preventable, there had been failures in his care and neglect had contributed to it. Richard Handley had lifelong problems with constipation, exacerbated by his Down's syndrome and medication. He died in 2012, days after being admitted to Ipswich Hospital from a supported living unit run by the United Response charity. A review found Richard's health needs were overlooked, confirming his family's fears. Not all deaths would represent a medical failing or problem with the way the person had been supported during their life, said the report. Key findings Speaking to the BBC's Radio 5 Live, Connor Sparrowhawk's step-father Richard Huggins said: "(For the NHS) to be consistently surprised by the data, irrespective of the type of report - whether it's a specific one on learning disabilities or mental health, or more generally - strikes me as disappointing. "No action" had been taken since his step-son's death, he said, and he could not see how people would not still be dying. He told the programme: "Everyone's unexpected death is as important as anyone else's, they should all be seen as unacceptable. "People with mental ill-health and learning disabilities have additional issues that need to be looked at differently and specifically, otherwise they will continue to die. "We need to stop these things happening. It beggars belief to me that it is still so endemic." The report said the NHS was fallible and must acknowledge and learn from mistakes. "When a loved one dies in care, knowing how and why they died is the very least a family should be able to expect," it said. The CQC's review looked at NHS trusts in England providing acute, community and mental health services, placing a particular focus on people with mental health conditions and learning disabilities. It considered evidence from interviews with more than 100 families, visits to a sample of 12 NHS trusts and a national survey of all eligible NHS providers. The CQC's Dr George Julian said: "We must learn from these families. Their trust, honesty and candour are an example to us all. "We owe it to them, their loved ones and to ourselves to stop talking about learning lessons, to move beyond writing action plans and to actually make change happen." The Health Secretary is expected to respond to the report in the Commons later on Tuesday, when he is likely to announce a requirement for trusts to collect and record information on unexpected deaths so lessons can be learned. Mr Hunt is expected to say trusts should regularly publish this information so the public can see if progress is being made. He is also expected to ask trusts to make a particular priority of data on outcomes for patients with learning disabilities. In addition, Health Education England is expected to have to review its training of medical staff on dealing with patients and families after a tragedy. Prof Dame Sue Bailey, chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, said: "This landmark review reveals in stark detail what many in healthcare have suspected for a long time. "Put simply, we have consistently failed and continue to fail too many of the families of those who die whilst in our care. "This is not about blaming individuals, but about the health service learning the lessons from this report." Julie Mellor, of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, which investigates complaints about poor care, said the report provided "a golden opportunity" for NHS leaders to learn from mistakes and encourage an open, honest working environment where NHS staff do not fear reprisals. The PHSO upheld 338 complaints into avoidable deaths in 2016, up from 2015 's figure of 306.

The units were bought in 2008 for £1.25m as part of regeneration plans. But proposals for a new shopping centre never came to fruition, and this year they were sold for £271,000. Plaid Cymru AM Neil McEvoy said the sales were "staggering", but the Welsh Government said they were done on professional advice. Mr McEvoy said he had referred the matter to the Auditor General Huw Vaughan Thomas, with the Welsh Audit Office saying the concerns were "being considered" and it would "deem if further investigation is required". Details of the transactions came to light following a request under the Freedom of Information Act by Mr McEvoy's office. The Welsh Government bought one shop unit at 54/55 Taff Street for £800,000 and another unit, comprised of two shops, at 69 and 69a Taff Street for £450,000. Both properties were leased - 54/55 until January 2012 and 69 and 69a to July 2014 - with a combined annual rent of £64,500. But in May the former property was sold for £150,000 - £650,000 less than purchased - while the latter was taken off the government's hands for £121,000 - £329,000 less than was originally paid. The Welsh Government said the shops were bought in 2008 as part of a proposed regeneration scheme. "The acquisitions took place near the height of the property market," a spokeswoman said. "Both properties were tenanted and planning consent had recently been granted for a major redevelopment scheme." This is understood to have been the Taff Vale Shopping Centre, which was not built. "Regrettably, as a result of the financial downturn, the proposed redevelopment did not take place and the properties were sold earlier this year following professional third-party property advice," the spokeswoman added. The Welsh Government later added that the shops "had been identified as surplus stock and we proceeded to sell them". An assessment by Alder King property consultations for the Welsh Government said the two shops at 69 and 69a attracted a total rent of £28,500 a year, while 54/55 was let for £36,000 a year. Alder King blamed "market conditions" as the primary reason for the difference in sale price, saying retail investment markets in south Wales, outside of Cardiff, had been slow to recover from the downturn. Other factors cited included the vacancy of the properties by the time of the sale, as well as the fact the Taff Vale Shopping Centre did not proceed. Mr McEvoy, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales Central, said: "The losses the Welsh Government has made on these two properties is truly staggering." He said this and other examples, including £3.4m economic aid for a steel firm that went bust and the £21m sale of land thought by auditors to have been undervalued by £15m, cannot "be considered as individual mistakes". A Labour assembly source pointed out that the party was in coalition with Plaid Cymru at the time the decision was taken to buy the properties in Pontypridd. "Not for the first time Neil has scored an own goal criticising these purchases," the source claimed. "A Plaid minister was in charge when decision was made", the source added, referring to Ieuan Wyn Jones, who was deputy first minister and economy minister at the time. In response, Mr McEvoy said he was criticising the Welsh Government's sale of the sites, not their purchase. A Plaid spokeswoman said: "Plaid Cymru in government did some excellent work in regenerating town centres in places like Pontypridd. "Serious questions now have to be asked about the Labour government's decision to sell these properties at such a loss."

Three Pontypridd shops bought by the Welsh Government have been sold on for about £980,000 less than the purchase price.

The US said if confirmed it would be "another provocative step". International talks over Iran's nuclear programme are due to resume in Kazakhstan next week. Western powers fear Tehran is seeking weapons technology, but Tehran says it is refining uranium only for peaceful energy purposes. The Natanz facility, in central Iran, is at the heart of the country's dispute with the UN's watchdog. By Bethany BellBBC News, Vienna The IAEA says Iran has started to install about 180 advanced centrifuges at its Natanz nuclear plant - potentially a major upgrade in Iran's nuclear programme. There is concern in the West that these new machines could significantly speed up Iran's production of material that could be used in a nuclear bomb. Centrifuges are used to enrich uranium. Low-enriched uranium is used for civilian purposes. But higher-grade enriched uranium can be used as the material for an atomic bomb. Iran says its nuclear work is purely peaceful, and that its enriched uranium will be used for reactor fuel and for medical and scientific purposes. But this announcement by the IAEA could hurt the chances for the next round of talks between Iran and six world powers in Kazakhstan next week. The US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany, want Iran to cut back on enrichment - not expand it. The IAEA released a report each quarter detailing its progress at monitoring Iran's nuclear development. The BBC obtained a copy of the latest report, which has not yet been officially released. It concludes: "The director general is unable to report any progress on the clarification of outstanding issues including those relating to possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme." It adds that despite intensified dialogue with Iran, no progress has been made on how to clear up the questions about Iran's nuclear work. The IAEA has made similar complaints in previous quarterly reports, and Iran is under an array of sanctions as a result of its lack of co-operation. Iran had informed the IAEA in a letter on 23 January that it planned to introduce a new model of centrifuge called the IR2m, which can enrich two or three times faster than current equipment. Gas centrifuges are used to increase the proportion of fissile uranium-235 atoms within uranium. For uranium to work in a nuclear reactor it must be enriched to contain 2-3% uranium-235 while weapons-grade uranium must contain 90% or more uranium-235. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the new centrifuges could cut by a third the time Iran, one of Israel's fiercest opponents in the Middle East, needed to create a nuclear bomb. US state department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the report development at Natanz was "not surprising". "The installation of new advanced centrifuges would be a further escalation, and a continuing violation of Iran's obligations under the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and IAEA board resolutions," she said. But she added that Iran had the opportunity to allay the international community's concerns during talks in Kazakhstan next week. Starting on 26 February, the talks will involve Iranian officials, the five permanent members the UN Security Council, and Germany. The services are part of Swanage Railway Spring Steam Gala, which runs until Sunday, and mark the latest step in a bid to reconnect the seaside resort with the mainline. Four journeys a day will run over the newly installed Norden Gates level crossing and on to the River Frome. Diesel train trials are due to start running to Wareham early next year. Swanage Railway general manager Matt Green said the services were "real history". He said: "Our dedicated teams have worked very hard over the past 18 months restoring and upgrading the former Network Rail line. "Half a mile of new track has been laid, almost 2,000 wooden track sleepers replaced, and six miles of embankments cut back, fences repaired and drains cleared." Trials between Swanage and Wareham were originally expected to begin last year but were delayed by upgrade works needed on the diesel trains. Jackson, 28, suffered the injury when he dived into a swimming pool. Restart Rugby, the official charity of the Rugby Players' Association (RPA), says it will "assist Ed with the significant cost of the intensive rehabilitation that will be required". Jackson is receiving treatment at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. RPA chief executive Damian Hopley told BBC Wales Sport: "The trustees agreed to make a sizeable donation to look after the rehab and physiotherapy cost that Ed will undergo. "Ed has made some very encouraging progress in the first month post his accident. "Clearly you can see the huge support he has across the game and we're lucky in the rugby perspective that the game rallies around situations like this. Jackson had emergency surgery at Southmead Hospital in Bristol after the accident at a friend's barbecue on 8 April. The former Bath, Wasps, London Welsh and Doncaster Knights player has recovered some movement and is updating his friends and supporters on his progress on his Facebook page. Hopley added: "It's important we're there to support Ed and his family and give them some peace of mind around what is to come because they are in uncharted territory. "Recognising the humour and spirit that Ed is renowned for on his social media account, it's fantastic to chart his progress and it's important we help to pick up the pieces as much as we can." Bath-born Jackson made 36 appearances for the Dragons after joining from Wasps in 2015 and signed a contract extension with the region in December, 2016. Media playback is not supported on this device The striker, 28, has been out of action since being accused of failing to warm up in the Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich in September. He has played two reserve games in recent weeks to build his fitness after apologising to the club and supporters. City face Chelsea on Wednesday 21 March by which time they could be four points behind rivals Manchester United. We are very disappointed for our supporters after Swansea because I saw on the TV one of our supporters cry. We want to win also for this guy and the other supporters United play Wolves away on Sunday and City's next league match is the Chelsea game at Etihad Stadium. Mancini, speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, also revealed that Gareth Barry, Vincent Kompany and Pablo Zabaleta were out of Thursday's Europa League tie against Sporting Lisbon through injury. However, Joleon Lescott could be on the bench after recovering from a groin injury. Tevez scored 44 goals in only 69 Premier League games during his first two seasons at City before the dispute in September. He seemed certain to leave City during the January transfer window after returning to Argentina without the club's permission, but now looks set to figure in the title race. Asked whether Tevez, who is ineligible for the Europa League, would play at Chelsea, Mancini said: "We will see in the next week. It depends on Carlos. Will he be OK? Probably but it depends on a lot of things." City are second in the Premier League after losing to Swansea at the weekend, a defeat that knocked them off top spot for the first time in five months. They also failed to score in Thursday's Europa League loss to Sporting Lisbon. Their home form has been exemplary, with 14 straight Premier League victories at the Etihad Stadium this season. City have struggled on the road, though, winning won only two of their last eight Premier League away games and scoring just four goals. 21 - Sergio Aguero 18 - Edin Dzeko 14 - Mario Balotelli 7 - David Silva 6 - Adam Johnson "In Portugal and against Swansea we didn't play a very good game," Mancini said. "We didn't play like the usual Manchester City. We probably didn't deserve to lose both games but we need to play better. "Now is a time to be strong and keep going because we are a top team and have time to recover. "We are very disappointed for our supporters after Swansea because I saw on the TV one of our supporters cry. We want to win also for this guy and the other supporters. "We are positive. We think we will win the Premier League and the Europa League. If we think a different way it will be a mistake." Mancini added that he hoped Manchester United beat Athletic Bilbao on Thursday to stay in the Europa League, or he fears their rivals could gain an advantage by having less games to play and one trophy to focus on. If Mr McClarty had chosen to go back to the UUP, it would have had two seats in the incoming executive. His decision means it will now have one with Alliance having one by right. Mr McClarty said he had been contacted by hundreds of his voters urging him to remain independent and he wished to retain credibility with them. 'A loose amalgam' "I know I was in a strong position and could have demanded almost anything, including maybe a ministry, but it was not about me or about personal gain," he added. He also said he had concerns about the UUP party structures calling it "a loose amalgam of constituency associations" with "no central control". BBC Northern Ireland political correspondent Gareth Gordon said Mr McClarty, who left the Ulster Unionists in January after being de-selected by his local party, had also denied that his decision was about revenge. "There's no doubt this will be a bitter blow for his former party which will now be reduced to just one ministerial position in the new executive," our correspondent added. UUP Lagan Valley MLA Basil McCrea said he was not surprised by Mr McClarty's decision but it would be "very disappointing" for the party. He added: "It does seem unfair that the Alliance Party, which has half the number of seats, will end up with twice as many seats on the executive. "But we will have to take it on the chin." 'Desperate act' Alliance leader David Ford said his party was always entitled to the extra ministry. "The people's votes have decided that we are entitled to this post," he said. "The UUP's cheap move to steal our position has failed and failure is all that this desperate act from them deserved. "David McClarty has made the right decision and shown his integrity. It clearly reflects the wish of the people of East Londonderry, who elected him as an independent and totally rebuffed the UUP." Mr McClarty was one of the UUP's longest serving MLAs. He was elected to Coleraine Council in 1989 and the assembly in 1998. The pool at Stratford Park Leisure Centre was closed on 19 January after a section of the "suspended ceiling" above the pool fell on to the poolside. A spokesman for Stroud District Council said checks and repairs had be to made to the "entire structure". "Now we are completely satisfied that the whole ceiling is secure and safe we have reopened the pool," he added. "We're grateful to customers for the patience they have shown whilst this much-loved facility has been closed." Public swimming between midday and 17:00 GMT is free of charge as a "thank you to customers for their support", the district council added. Jurors at Plymouth Crown Court were told that one of the girls tried to kill herself when she was aged seven. Their mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also said to have lashed out with "bamboo, belts and brushes". She was jailed for five years for acts of cruelty between 1976 and 1988. The woman, convicted on eight counts, worked as a prostitute from the family home. There she allowed visiting men access to her daughters who were then of primary school age, prosecutors said. One daughter told the court that she and the others were given a bucket to use as a toilet, but had no water to drink, leaving them so thirsty they drank their own urine. Social workers put the three girls and their brother into children's homes. On one occasion they had found them eating cat food. Prosecutor Sean Brunton said the cruelty was "almost Victorian in its bleakness". The girls' mother denied ten charges of cruelty and was cleared on two counts. Raymond Williams, 60, formerly of Dovedale Road, Plymouth, who denied two indecent assaults on one of the girls in 1981 and 1982, was convicted and jailed for three years. The jury heard a second man, Ralph Burns, 57, had been due to stand trial charged with rape but he died two weeks before the case started. There were wins for West Brom and Swansea, while the three other opening-day games all ended in 1-1 draws. Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool start their campaigns on Sunday, with Chelsea playing on Monday. In Scotland, Rangers earned their first Premiership win of the new season. Ninety days after the curtain came down on a season full of surprises and drama, the English top flight returned. Led by the arrival of former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Guardiola, there are new faces in the dugout, on the pitch and some new rules to grasp. The Spaniard, 45, watched his City side nick a late win 2-1 against Sunderland as just 14 goals were scored in seven matches on the opening day. Other than City's £47.5m defender John Stones, none of the biggest-money signings were in action. Arsenal's £35m enforcer Granit Xhaka and Liverpool's £34m forward Sadio Mane could make their debuts on Sunday. Meanwhile Manchester United's record £89m midfielder Paul Pogba will not feature because he is suspended. The most significant rule change sees red cards being issued to players who confront match officials. It was noticeable that none of the Hull City's players surrounded referee Mike Dean when Leicester were awarded a contentious penalty in the opening game. Hull 2-1 Leicester Burnley 0-1 Swansea Crystal Palace 0-1 West Brom Everton 1-1 Tottenham Middlesbrough 1-1 Stoke Southampton 1-1 Watford Man City 2-1 Sunderland United, crowned English champions on a record 20 occasions, go to Bournemouth as new manager Jose Mourinho looks to guide them to a first title since 2013. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, who finished as runners-up behind Leicester last season, host Liverpool at Emirates Stadium. Chelsea also have a new manager in the shape of former Italy coach Antonio Conte as they aim to improve on a disappointing 10th-place finish last term. The four-time Premier League champions host London rivals West Ham on Monday. Rangers, who have won a record 54 Scottish titles, are back in the top flight after a four-year absence following financial trouble. After drawing 1-1 in their opener, first-half goals from Harry Forrester and Kenny Miller earned their first league win of the season at Dundee. In the English Championship, relegated Newcastle United, managed by former Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez, continued their losing start with a second successive league defeat, while Aston Villa clinched their first win in more than six months in their first season outside the top flight since 1987. Benitez watched his Newcastle side lose 2-1 against Huddersfield Town in front of 52,079 supporters at St James' Park.

Neha Ramu, 13, of Surbiton, scored 162 in the high IQ society's test, which puts her in the top 1% of the UK's brightest people. A score above 140 is considered to be that of a genius. "When I found out I got such a high score it was so amazing and unexpected," she said. The teenager, who also enjoys chess and reading, hopes to study neurology at Harvard University. "Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, they've achieved so much," she said. "It's not right to compare me to them just because of my IQ. "If I don't put in my effort and make use of my IQ then there's no point in having it." The teenager moved to the UK from Bangalore when she was seven. She said the Indian education system helped give her the best start but she prefers school life in the UK. Her parents, both eye doctors, knew their daughter was clever but had no idea exactly how intelligent she was until she scored the maximum marks in her entrance exams for school. Her mother Jayashree said: "From our side she definitely doesn't have any pressure, we just make opportunities for her. "She does all this without much effort. "She makes sure she has enough time for TV, swimming, fun times with her friends." On her ambition to study neurology, Neha says: "I'm really quite passionate about the subject so I think it'll be good for me as a career. "I don't think I'm ever going to stop learning. I'll always be curious and I'll always be thinking 'I wonder how that works'". According to Mensa, the average adult IQ score is 100. You can hear more about the teenager on BBC Asian Network on Friday at 13:00 BST and 17:00 BST. Nathan Rhodes, 23, Ryan Case, 25, and Emily Jennings, 27, died after the car they were in crashed near Willes Road, in Leamington Spa on 20 June. Jamie Riddick, 21, from Kenilworth, was charged with three counts of causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of alcohol. He will appear at Leamington Magistrates' Court on 7 October. Mr Riddick has been released on bail. Correction 9 September 2015: This story has been amended to make clear that Mr Riddick has been charged with causing death by careless driving and not causing death by dangerous driving.

I know... I know there's still...' The party said it will not nominate its Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill as deputy first minister on Monday. The decision means no power-sharing executive can be formed in time for Monday afternoon's formal deadline. DUP leader Arlene Foster said to date "there was little to suggest that Sinn Fein want to secure agreement". "The DUP stands ready to continue to discuss how we can secure new arrangements for Northern Ireland," she said. The party did not attend today's session of talks as it does not negotiate on Sundays. Sinn Féin's Mrs O'Neill said: "Today we have come to the end of the road. "The talks process has run its course and Sinn Féin will not be nominating for the position of speaker or for the executive office tomorrow." She said the party remained committed to making the power-sharing institutions work. The parties have until 16:00 on Monday to resolve issues that divide them - if they fail, another snap Northern Ireland Assembly election could be called, just weeks after a poll held at the start of this month. Northern Ireland has been without a functioning government since early January. After the collapse of the power-sharing coalition between the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein, a snap election again returned them as the two largest parties. But Sinn Féin grew significantly, winning just one seat fewer than the DUP. There was not much optimism that the relationship could be repaired in the three weeks allowed for talks. Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said: "We don't have the terms now to go forward and nominate for a speaker as Michelle has pointed out, or for a first, or a deputy first, minister. "That's today. She also said, and I endorse this absolutely, that we do believe that we will have the conditions in the time ahead, because we want to be in the institutions." He added: "Will we be back, will we get the institutions in place? Yes." Earlier, Mr Adams criticised the DUP and the British government's approach to the talks. The DUP accused Sinn Féin of not being willing to attend roundtable sessions. Former first minister Mrs Foster said: "While regrettable, the reality is that sufficient progress was not achieved in the time available to form a new executive. "The DUP was ready to form a new administration without pre-conditions so as to allow us to have a budget and to deal with the many matters that currently face the people of Northern Ireland. "Negotiations will only ever be successful when parties are prepared to be flexible in order to secure outcomes." She added: "Throughout the course of Saturday, Sinn Féin behaved as if they were the only participants whose mandate mattered. This cannot and will not be the basis for a successful outcome." Secretary of State James Brokenshire said that the people of Northern Ireland had voted overwhelmingly for devolved power sharing government. "Even at this stage I urge political parties to agree to work to form an executive and provide people here with the strong and stable devolved government that they want," he said. Tom Elliott of the Ulster Unionist Party said the current phase of talks was the worst he had been involved in. "Unless there is a massive u-turn in terms of attitude from the two largest parties, then Northern Ireland could be in for a period of prolonged drift," he said. "I understand the secretary of state took the attitude that the blockages to progress were devolved matters and therefore allowed the DUP and Sinn Féin to take the lead, with the government offering support. "It looks like HM government will have to take the lead at 4pm tomorrow and that is a further indictment of the lead parties at Stormont." SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said "rigid opposition to compromise on key issues, particularly from the DUP, has made a comprehensive resolution more difficult to reach". He added: "Following talks over the last number of days it is clear now that an agreement will not be reached in the time left. That is a bitter disappointment. "The secretary of state must immediately create space for all parties to refresh their outlook on the challenges we face and reach a positive accommodation that allows a restoration of power sharing." Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics, Alliance Party leader Naomi Long said if there is an agreement on Monday, much of it will have Alliance's fingerprints on it and that the party will continue to contribute to the talks over the next 24 hours. "Whether we end up being in government or in opposition, we still want to facilitate government, we want it to happen," she said. On Saturday Mrs Long said another election would be a vanity project. The 62-year-old was reported missing from his St Cyrus home after last speaking to his family in Dundee on 14 July. Mr Leslie's body was found on Saturday morning. Police Scotland said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and that Mr Leslie's family would not be issuing a statement. Insp Megan Heathershaw said: "Our thoughts are with Mr Leslie's family and friends at this very sad time. "Following our appeals for information, numerous members of the public got in touch to assist with information. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank these people for their help." Firefighters advised drivers to avoid Lifford Lane, Kings Norton, after the "non-hazardous" spill about 08:30 BST. About 600 litres of a "concrete super plasticiser" escaped from storage tanks. The cause is being investigated, the Environment Agency (EA) said. The actions by fire crews and EA officers meant "there has been no environmental impact", it added. "We have been informed that the road is likely to remain closed over the weekend to enable a full clean-up of the site," the spokeswoman said. The blast, in Rochdale Road, Harpurhey, happened shortly after 15:00 GMT. Firefighters said the owner was taken to hospital with minor injuries after suffering burns and added they were not aware of any other casualties. Rochdale Road has been closed and motorists have been urged to avoid the area. Local councillor Pat Karney tweeted that the venue was a "very popular Irish-style cafe". He added it was the second serious fire in "this small area recently" and said he would meet fire service officials to "review safety in these old shop premises". The cafe owner told fire crews a chip pan caught fire but emergency services said they were also investigating if there were other causes of the blaze. Crew manager Phil Nelson said the chip pan fire "started the process" of the blaze. He said in such situations people should get out of the property and, if possible, close the doors and turn off the gas and electricity supplies before ringing 999. Gas and electricity supplies have been isolated in properties near the mid-terrace cafe. Manager Roy Hodgson resigned after the abject embarrassment of losing to a nation ranked 34th in the world - and with a population of just 330,000 - despite taking the lead through Wayne Rooney's fourth-minute penalty. Iceland equalised within a minute as England failed to deal with a trademark long throw and Ragnar Sigurdsson bundled home from close range. England's shameful performance was summed up by Iceland's 18th-minute winner when goalkeeper Joe Hart was badly at fault - just as in the win over Wales - as he let Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's shot through his hand. Hodgson made changes as Iceland dug in, but the underdogs had as many chances as England before the final whistle blew on their Euro 2016 hopes and his four-year tenure as manager. The ultimate responsibility lies with the manager but, make no mistake, he was badly let down by players capable of so much better - not just on this black night for English sport but throughout Euro 2016. Hart has had a nightmare tournament, young hopes such as Harry Kane and Dele Alli failed to live up to their performances last season, and captain Rooney, who had been England's best player up until this game, chose this night to give one of his worst performances in an international. England were shown up by the work-rate, desire and sheer physical commitment of their counterparts. Yes, Hodgson will take the blame and has paid the price but these highly paid Premier League players should not escape criticism. Football Association chairman Greg Dyke had flagged up a quarter-final place as a minimum requirement, but Hodgson's England could not even achieve that. Hodgson's thinking had been muddled even before England arrived in France, with constant changes of personnel and approach exemplified by the sudden re-introduction - and subsequent substitution - of Raheem Sterling, although the Manchester City forward did win the penalty from which Rooney scored. As the game went on, Hodgson cut a detached figure, seemingly powerless to influence the game - and he waited too long to introduce the fearless pace and direct running of Marcus Rashford, who posed more problems in four minutes than most of those who had gone before. Hodgson has never given off any sort of assurance during Euro 2016, unsure of his best team and strategy. England have won one game out of four, with a last-minute winner from Daniel Sturridge against Wales - and this defeat will be a scar forever on Hodgson's record and reputation. England's players slumped to the ground in despair and embarrassment when one final corner was wasted and Iceland had completed their landmark win. It left them within range of the fury of England's travelling support, who had gathered in their thousands as usual in Nice in the expectation of seeing them reach the last 16 of Euro 2016. And they wasted no time in letting England's players feel their full fury, frustration that had built up throughout the game exploding in anger directed at those who had failed to perform. Goalkeeper Joe Hart held his hands up in apology to no avail as some supporters hurled England shirts and flags in the team's direction. When England left Brazil after their failure there in 2014, they were actually applauded at the end of a 0-0 draw in a dead rubber against Costa Rica - there was no such escape here as the supporters came to terms with one of the most embarrassing, painful nights in the history of English sport. While England will begin to pick apart a wretched tournament, Iceland will go on to the quarter-finals and undoubtedly the biggest game in their history when they face hosts France at the Stade de France on Saturday. Wales' quarter-final against Belgium on Friday will be broadcast live on BBC One, with build-up starting at 19:30 BST. The quarter-finals in full (all games start at 20:00 BST): England goalkeeper Joe Hart: "As a group it is down to us. All the plans are put in place, we knew everything about Iceland - but ultimately we didn't perform. Personally I didn't perform. "It's not a question of wanting it, there's nothing we want more - they are just words though. We were in a good place but we haven't done it. "We will get a lot of flak and we deserve it. We will learn from this and try and bring English football back to where it belongs. We have put it in a low place. "We just couldn't find a way back into the game. The next manager has a tough job on his hands. We worked hard but with no success. That is how this team will be remembered." England captain Wayne Rooney: "It's a sad day for us. "Sometimes not always the best team win. Once they got in the lead we knew it would be difficult to get the goal back because they are well organised. "Going into the last 16 facing Iceland we were confident we could win the game. It's disappointing but we have to move on. "It's tough. There are always upsets in football - it's not tactics, it's just unfortunate. We know we're a good team. "I can't stand here and say exactly why it's happened. Roy Hodgson will look back and think what he could have done differently. "I'm still available to play. It'll be interesting to see who comes in." Match ends, England 1, Iceland 2.

Etoile du Sahel, who are the only club to have won all five present and past continental club competitions, proved too strong for debutants Ferroviario Beira of Mozambique, winning 5-0 in Sousse in Group A. Another Tunisian side, Esperance, began the new era of African Champions League football with a 3-1 win over DR Congo's AS Vita Club in Rades in Group C. In other matches on Friday, Nigerian Stanley Okawuchi scored a late goal as Zamalek of Egypt beat CAPS United of Zimbabwe 2-0 in Alexandria. Several squandered chances and acrobatic saves from CAPS goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda kept the Group B clash goal-less until half-time at the Borg Al Arab Stadium. But Sibanda was at fault for both goals with Basem Morsy giving 2016 runners-up Zamalek the lead on 56 minutes and Nigeria's Stanley Okawuchi scoring seven minutes from time. Zamalek lie second on goal difference in Group B after USM Alger of Algeria trounced Al Ahly Tripoli of Libya 3-0 in Algiers. Headed goals from Farouk Chafai and Madagascan Carolus Andriamatsinoro gave 2015 runners-up USM a two-goal cushion by the break. Oussama Darfalou completed the rout seven minutes from time by finding space inside the box and firing a low shot into the corner of the net. On Saturday, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa continue the defence of their title as they host Ethiopia's Saint George. Sundowns' coach Pitso Mosimane (pictured) says fixture fatigue could threaten their hopes. Last year they became just the second South African winners of Africa's top club competition, beating Zamalek of Egypt 3-1 on aggregate in the final. Mosimane, who played for and coached South Africa, says a fixture pile-up could affect his team. "The Saint George players are sitting in the stand, resting and watching us," he said after a midweek domestic match in Pretoria. "It is not easy fighting on the South African and African fronts. We are playing every three days or so and injuries and suspensions can wreck plans.The 52-year-old also accepts his side Sundowns have lost the element of surprise they enjoyed last year. "That advantage has gone. Rivals clubs know who we are now and watch us on TV," he conceded. "But we are more experienced than last year, have greater quality and depth in our squad, and know what Champions League football is all about." Saint George, the first club from Ethiopia to make the group phase, won all four of their qualifiers and five-goal Saladin Said is the leading Champions League scorer this season. Also on Saturday, eight-time winners Al Ahly of Egypt will be wary of Zanaco having come unstuck against another Zambian club, Zesco United, in the group stage last year, dropping five points. Bogus ads for shoes briefly appeared among the selection of banners displayed on DailyMail.com. Instead of online shops, the advertisements linked to malware that can expose computers to "ransomware". Ransomware encrypts files on a victim's computer and asks for a payment to decrypt them again. The practice is known as "malvertising". Security company Malwarebytes made the discovery last week and published a report about its findings online. The report says Malwarebytes contacted the Daily Mail and relevant advertising networks about the issue on Friday. By Monday morning, the security company was informed that the fake ads had been removed. The banners, purporting to be for an online shoe retailer, were published via a bogus ad server. From there, they were distributed via an advertising network that presents ads to readers on the Daily Mail's website. If a user clicked on one of the ads, they would be redirected to a well known piece of malware called the Angler Exploit Kit, which attacks vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and Flash. There are various ways to protect yourself from ransomware, according to Tony Berning, senior manager at software company Opswat. "To protect against ransomware, users must back up their data regularly," he said. "In addition to this, an important defence against ransomware is the use of anti-virus engines to scan for threats. "With over 450,000 new threats emerging daily, anti-malware engines need to detect new threats continuously, and will inevitably address different threats at different times," Mr Berning said. The Daily Mail did not immediately provide a comment. The Black Cats are in the last 32 with Rochdale, who dedicated their first goal against Hartlepool to terminally ill youngster Joshua McCormack. Morecambe, Oldham, Yeovil and Coventry also progressed from the group stage. Marcus Bignot lost his first game in charge of Grimsby, who were beaten 4-2 by Sheffield United in a dead rubber. League One side Rochdale named five-year-old Joshua McCormack on the bench for their 2-1 win at Hartlepool. The youngster was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year and was told it was terminal in September. Following Reuben Noble-Lazarus' opening goal in their 2-1 win, Dale players ran over to the bench to get a shirt with 'McCormack 55' printed on it and held it aloft to show their support. Sunderland would have been eliminated had they lost to League Two County, and the Premier League club's youngsters trailed with eight minutes left at the Stadium of Light. However, Josh Maja slotted home to equalise and then Seb Larsson's cross was deflected into his own net by Magpies defender Hayden Hollis. On the final matchday of the group stages, Sunderland became the eighth development squad to reach the last 32. Of the 16 category one academy sides invited by the English Football League to enter the revamped competition, three won their group to guarantee a home tie in the second round. The new-look competition has seen low attendances at many clubs, and only one of Wednesday's eight matches recorded a four-figure crowd. Carlisle, who had already qualified from their group, drew 1,420 to Brunton Park as they beat Fleetwood 4-2, but only 380 fans watched Rochdale's win over Hartlepool. Elsewhere, Romanian defender Florin Gardos played a competitive 90 minutes for the first time since February 2015 as Southampton's development squad beat Crawley Town 4-0. The 28-year-old defender has been sidelined with a long-term knee injury but helped the Saints keep a clean sheet to leapfrog the Reds and win their group. The draw for the second round takes place on Thursday (10:30 GMT).

It began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers but has slowly changed into what is now a highly competitive race. Teams, each pulled by 16 dogs, battle gale-force winds and sub-zero temperatures over the 1000 mile course. Temperatures can get as low as -75 Celsius. Brrrrrrrrrrr... Check it out. The 25-year-old Scotland international joined Palace from Aston Villa in August 2013 and made 27 appearances for the Eagles. Bannan ended last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers, featuring 16 times. He tweeted: "Glad to have joined @swfc on a permanent transfer today new start and glad to be going somewhere to play regular football and a fresh start." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Media playback is not supported on this device Kris Boyd opened the scoring with a free-kick midway through the first half, giving the hosts a deserved lead. Kallum Higginbotham netted a back-post header after the break. Liam Craig had a headed goal chalked off, before Boyd slammed home a late penalty won by Rory McKenzie. Despite losing, Saints secured a top-six place. Victory lifts the Ayrshire side eight points clear of bottom side Dundee United and maintains the four-point gap between Killie and 10th-placed Hamilton Academical. Media playback is not supported on this device Having improved defensively, Kilmarnock had struggled for goals since the arrival of Clark in mid-February but after a slow start the home side started to create chances. A great cross from Josh Magennis found Boyd in the box and his shot beat Alan Mannus only to his the post. The goal-hungry Kilmarnock faithful would get the breakthrough they desperately craved. A free-kick was awarded on the edge of the St Johnstone area and Boyd fired into the bottom corner - his first goal since December. There was a huge sense of relief in the wild celebrations, from both players and fans. St Johnstone tried to respond and almost equalised through Craig, but his close-range shot was superbly saved by the outstanding Jamie MacDonald. Kilmarnock almost went further in front, Higginbotham playing the ball into the path of Boyd to pull the trigger but Tam Scobbie appeared from nowhere to make a vital block. Immediately after that Kilmarnock had the ball in the net, Higginbotham with the strike but it was ruled out for offside. Magennis went close either side of half-time and Scobbie had a chance to shoot for Saints but blazed high into the stand. Kilmarnock were soon 2-0 in front. Magennis crossed from the right and Higginbotham made no mistake with a downward header at the back post. Craig then netted with a header at the other end but a push on Mark O'Hara meant there was no goal. St Johnstone's Bulgarian defender Plamen Krachunov was next to be denied, his header brilliantly saved by MacDonald. Kilmarnock would wrap up all three vital points right at the end. McKenzie was fouled in the box and from the spot Boyd was on target again as the home side claimed what could be a huge win as they attempt to beat the drop. Paul Annon said he was abused by a man and a women while living at Shirley Oaks, in Croydon, in the 1960s and 1970s. The 51-year-old was speaking after the publication of a report which found abuse took place at the home on an "industrial scale". Mr Annon said he was just five years old when the abuse started. A report from the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association (Sosa) has named 27 men as alleged abusers and links 20 deaths to the home. Two of the people named in the report - William Hook and Philip Temple - have been convicted of child sexual abuse. In an interview with the Press Association, Mr Annon said whenever he tried to tell someone about the abuse "it would fall on deaf ears". "A big man used to come into the room and sexually abuse me, and a woman would come in" he said. Mr Annon said he was unable to remember the names of his abusers because of how young he was at the time. "I didn't really understand it at the time" he added. Mr Annon was put into care with his two brothers after their mother died, and lived at the children's home between 1969 and 1979. His experiences have impacted his relationships, pushed him into drug taking and drinking and left him feeling "worthless", he said. Mr Annon also blames the abuse for the premature death of his brother, who died nine days before his fiftieth birthday from cirrhosis of the liver. "What happened to him pushed him to what he did" Mr Annon said. In the wake of the findings within the report Lambeth Council announced it will compensate former residents of Shirley Oaks. The party will field about 32 candidates in June. In Clwyd West, local members chose not to challenge the Brexit Tory minister David Jones. UKIP AM David Rowlands said: "Any small party would find it difficult to keep funding these elections." UKIP has no MPs but won 13.6% of the vote in Wales in 2015, third highest behind Labour and the Tories. "It's simply the timing of it, to be quite honest with you," Mr Rowlands told BBC Wales. "It's £500 per candidate," he added, referring to the required deposit which is only repaid if a candidate receives at least 5% of the vote. "You're talking about £20,000 overall, plus obviously the leaflets," which he estimated were around £700 for each candidate. "You're talking about quite sizeable amounts of money to be raised in a very short period of time," the South Wales East AM said. While UKIP stood in all 40 Welsh constituencies in 2015 but did not win any seats, at the 2016 Welsh Assembly election it won seven seats due to proportional representation, with 13% of the vote for the regional lists.

Three children were also critically injured at a 24-hour day care centre. The National Weather Service reported 27 tornado sightings as the storm swept through eastern Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and southern Tennessee. Three people were killed and one person was critically injured after a tornado hit a mobile home in Rosalie, Alabama, on Tuesday night, according to Jackson County Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen. The same twister appeared to level a closed day care centre in the Ider community in Dekalb County, injuring seven people, including three children. The injured victims left their mobile home to seek shelter there, said Anthony Clifton, DeKalb County Emergency Management Director. An estimated 2,400 residents were without electricity as of Wednesday morning, according to Alabama Power. The company said that outages could increase as the storm continued to move east throughout the morning. Officials also said dozens of buildings have been damaged or destroyed from the storms. A couple in southern Tennessee also died after an apparent tornado swept through Polk County. Several dozen others were injured in Tennessee, including at least 20 people in McMinn County, ABC affiliate WATE reported. Tennessee is still reeling after four people were killed and hundreds of homes and buildings were destroyed in devastating wildfires. More than 14,000 people were evacuated from the resort towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Tornadoes and hail were also reported on Tuesday in Louisiana as well as Mississippi, where the National Weather Service in Jackson said late Tuesday that it had counted six confirmed tornadoes in the region. The RSPCA was called after a member of the public heard the six-month-old animal "screaming in pain" in Ardingly Road, Saltdean, East Sussex on Sunday. Officers alerted fire crews, who spent an hour knocking down part of the garage wall in the early hours. "There was no way he was getting out by himself," said RSPCA inspector Marie Steven. "It was touch-and-go whether this little animal was going to survive this mishap, due to how severely he was wedged into that tiny space. "He was completely pinned by his head, shoulders and hips," she added. "The fire and rescue team from Rottingdean did a fantastic job. They spent more than an hour bashing through the garage wall to reach him unscathed. They had to remove bits of concrete, as the fox couldn't be reached at all. "I was so relieved when we got to him and found him uninjured. We checked him over, and gave him some food and water, and were then able to release him back into the wild to live another day, seemingly unperturbed by the whole middle-of-the-night adventure." Ms Oram who died in 2003, co-founded the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and developed a system of creating sounds and compositions using drawings. The machine is thought to have remained unfinished in her own lifetime. But experts say the Mini Oramics's approach to composition and performance would have been influential. Tom Richards, the researcher who finally constructed the machine, told BBC Radio 4's the World at One programme it had helped answer the question: "What if this had come to pass in 1973?" The Mini Oramics developed ideas first realised in the earlier and considerably larger Oramics Machine, designed in the early 1960s. The earlier instrument is sufficiently important to the history of experimental electronic music to have formed the centrepiece of an exhibition - Oram to Electronica - at the Science Museum in London. However, that machine is no longer playable. By drawing "graphs" - lines and dots drawn or painted on to blank movie camera film stock and clear glass slides - the Oramics Machine enabled sounds and compositions to be created visually, albeit on a machine the size of a chest-freezer. The stacked "tracks" of the machine resemble those of modern music sequencing software. But although it was certainly ingenious and in many respects ahead of its time, the machine's construction relied heavily on clever improvisation, using bits of furniture, and repurposed oscilloscopes. The suitcase-sized Mini Oramics kept the same essential concept and interface, but in a smaller device that could be sold to studios and professional musicians, says Tom Richards, who completed the design as part of a PhD between Goldsmiths, University of London and the Science Museum. "That was her intention," he said. "The next version was to be smaller, transistorised, using slightly more modern technology." In completing Ms Oram's designs, Mr Richards has tried to keep close to the spirit of 1970s technology, eschewing the use of microcomputers such as the Arduino, for example. The completed Mini Oramics resembles an overhead projector. Dots and lines drawn on clear cellophane control elements of the composition and musical expression such as the note, octave and vibrato. On a separate unit, sliders like those found on a graphic equaliser shape waveforms used to synthesise the sound. A variety of factors caused Ms Oram to abandon plans to build the machine, according to Mr Richards, including a lack of funds and anxieties that her approach to creating music was falling out of fashion compared with computer-based techniques. But the build of the Mini Oramics, mostly using technology available in the 1970s, shows Oram's approach to "drawn" music could have been popularised, musicians who have used the new machine say. "It's almost like a third way," James Bulley, a composer who works at the Daphne Oram archive, told the BBC. "You are composing and performing in real-time." Dr Jo Thomas, of the University of East London, said: "I felt privileged to use it. "This gives instrumental pleasure and compositional pleasure at the same time, that's what makes it a brilliant instrument." In the four decades since the design of the Mini Oramics, music technology has developed rapidly. For example, there is now an app that simulates in software the original Oramics Machine. But, in 1972, Ms Oram told a radio interviewer that the full development of electronic instruments could take much longer. "The violin has taken an enormous number of years to evolve, to get to the state it is, probably 600 years or more," she told Nicholas Wooley on the World at One. "Now, if you give me 600 years, I might bring this up to that sort of stage." The 53-year-old departs just days after Argentina lost on penalties to Chile in the Copa America final. In a statement Martino indicated he quit because of a "lack of decisions" at the head of the Argentine FA (AFA) and "serious problems" in selecting a squad for the Olympics. The Argentine managed his country from August 2014, after previously coaching Barcelona. Last month's Copa America defeat was the second time Argentina finished runner-up to Chile in the competition during Martino's reign. Star player Lionel Messi - who missed a penalty in the final shootout - retired following the match, saying it "hurt not to be a champion". A host of other leading Argentina players are reportedly close to quitting the national team, although there has been no confirmation of further retirements. Martino has also struggled to choose an 18-man squad for the Olympic football tournament in Rio, which starts on 3 August - two days before the Games formally commence. Argentine media says Martino is frustrated clubs are unwilling to release player in time for Rio. At present there are only nine players in Argentina's Olympic squad, and the president of the country's Olympic committee has hinted he may not send a team. The AFA has also been struggling amid a power vacuum that followed the death of long-time president Julio Grondona in 2014. The AFA has been placed under the administration of a Fifa committee in order to prepare it for new presidential elections in 2017. Craig Benson finished second and fellow Scot Ross Murdoch, the Commonwealth Games gold medallist, was third. Compatriot Michael Jamieson, the 2012 Olympic and Commonwealth silver medallist, was fifth. It means that Willis will qualify automatically for Rio, while Benson and Murdoch must wait for selection. Adam Peaty, world record holder over 50m and 100m, led the field early on and was two seconds inside British record pace at one stage. However, once the sprint specialist began to tire, fastest qualifier Willis took over to dominate the rest of the race. Murdoch was the second quickest going into the final after winning his heat but was edged out by Benson. Earlier this week, Murdoch finished second behind Peaty in the 100m breaststroke and is almost certain to join the world champion in that event at Rio this summer.

Djokovic, seeded second, earlier swept past Adam Pavlasek 6-2 6-2 6-1 on Court One. Sixth seed Milos Raonic, eighth seed Dominic Thiem and 10th seed Alexander Zverev secured places in round three. Swiss Federer and Djokovic of Serbia both completed matches for the first time this week after their first-round opponents had retired with injuries. Three-time champion Djokovic needed just over 90 minutes to see off Czech Pavlasek, the world number 136 making his debut at the Championships. The 30-year-old will play Latvia's Ernests Gulbis, after the world number 589 beat Argentine Juan Martin del Potro 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7-3). "Overall I managed to impose my own rhythm and play the game I intended to play," Djokovic, who converted seven of his 18 break points, told the BBC. "It was very warm and hot and not easy to play point after point in some of the long rallies." Media playback is not supported on this device Federer, 35, lost the opening seven points and fell 2-0 down against Lajovic, who played well above his ranking of 79 for much of the contest. It was still not enough to seriously trouble the Swiss, watched by his parents in the royal box. Federer broke back immediately and after a tight set, dominated the tie-break to take decisive control of proceedings. Ninety minutes, nine aces and 30 winners later, he wrapped up a solid win and a third-round clash with Germany's 27th seed Mischa Zverev. "I struggled early on. I couldn't get rid of the nerves and struggled to find my rhythm," Federer told BBC Sport. "I should feel comfortable here, and I do, but the problem is on grass if you're struggling it can take a while. "I wasn't too worried. Nerves are a funny thing, sometimes you get horribly nervous and other times it's a piece of cake. I'm happy it happened in the second round." Media playback is not supported on this device Seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion Peter Fleming on BBC Two Novak Djokovic and his camp will be very pleased. He wasn't at the top of his game right away but through the second and third sets, he started to move well. He eliminated the unforced errors and looked like the old Novak. Will he be able to maintain that level when the opposition improves? He is starting to put it together. Pavlasek didn't have enough to trouble Novak. You need a huge shot to threaten one of the greatest defenders of all time. It was a pretty straightforward affair for Federer and he'll be pleased to get back to the locker room, an early dinner and prepare for Saturday. Lajovic played well but couldn't quite come up with the shots required in that first set tie-break. Media playback is not supported on this device Raonic, runner-up last year, was in trouble when he faced a set point to trail two sets to love against Russia's Mikhail Youzhny. The Canadian came through 3-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 7-5 in two hours and 40 minutes on court two. "I was fortunate I didn't get down two sets to love in that tiebreaker," said Raonic. "I got very lucky in those scenarios." Austrian Thiem saw off Frenchman Gilles Simon 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-4 and Alexander Zverev, brother of Mischa, beat American Frances Tiafoe 6-3 6-4 6-3. Elsewhere, 23rd seed John Isner lost in five sets to Israel's Dudi Sela. The world number 90 beat the American 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 and will face 13th seed Grigor Dimitrov in the next round. Bulgaria's Dimitrov beat former Wimbledon semi-finalist Marcos Baghdatis 6-3 6-2 6-1, with the 26-year-old securing a comprehensive victory over the Cypriot with a stunning diving forehand volley. Spain's David Ferrer reached the third round after his opponent Steve Darcis was forced to withdraw with a back problem, the ninth retirement of the singles tournament so far. American 17th seed Jack Sock went out in the second round against Austrian qualifier Sebastian Ofner, who won 6-3 6-4 3-6 2-6 6-2. West Midlands Trains Ltd says it will put £1bn into improving the routes it takes over from London Midland. The plans include 400 new carriages, free wifi and space for an extra 85,000 passengers on rush-hour services in Birmingham and London. BBC News website readers sent in questions about the takeover and here are some of the answers. Follow this link to the Department for Transport website to find out what changes are coming your way. The franchise covers routes in the West Midlands, as well as from London Euston to Crewe, and Liverpool to Birmingham. It also runs services between Northampton and London Euston - connecting lines between Bedford and Bletchley, between St Albans and Watford and Crewe to London - via Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Lichfield and Milton Keynes. West Midlands Trains Ltd will take over the franchise in December 2017 but the new timetable will not start until December 2018. Abellio, the Dutch firm behind West Midlands Trains Ltd, said no. "Our bid retains a second person on board the train, so there will be no reduction in on-board staffing levels," a spokesman said. When the new franchise was announced, Abellio said the current Crewe to London Euston train would no longer stop at Alsager, Kidsgrove, Stoke-on-Trent and Stone. This plan was met with anger and days later Abellio said after finalising details of its routes, there would be a direct service from December 2018. It will call at Stone, Kidsgrove and Stoke-on-Trent and then go via Birmingham and Coventry on the way to Euston without people having to change trains. The direct 90-minute service with Virgin Trains will not be affected, the DfT said. The workforce of 2,400 will pass to the new operator when the franchise is taken over, a spokesman for Abellio confirmed. An extra £13m will be spent on staff training and there is a plan to create more than 900 new apprenticeships. Abellio has pledged to employ more women and people from ethnic minorities and to give work experience placements to 250 young people. Abellio claimed staff training would improve the customer service disabled passengers receive. Passenger assistance will be bookable 12 hours in advance rather than 24 hours by January 2020, and down to four hours in January 2021. But information on improving things such as disabled access and toilets has not been released yet. There will be 2,500 extra spaces for bikes at stations with improved security, said Abellio. The operator said it was also planning to create spaces on board for bikes, but until the new trains were finalised it was not known how many there would be. Abellio said it would be working with Network West Midlands to extend the Swift Card, which can be topped up like an Oyster card. A smart card season ticket will be introduced for passengers between London and Northampton, Abellio said. Abellio said it was planning later services into and out of Birmingham during the evenings, including at weekends. The trains will stop at towns and cities across the network to help the region's night time economy, a spokesman said. The new station at Kenilworth is set to open from December 2017, with an hourly service between Leamington Spa and Coventry, an Abellio spokesman said. From December 2018 this will be a through service to Nuneaton, subject to a rail path through Coventry, he said. From December 2019 the new bay platform at Coventry is expected to be completed. This will allow two trains per hour between Coventry and Nuneaton - one of which will be the through Leamington-Coventry service. There will also be a third service per hour between Coventry and Nuneaton on Saturdays, reflecting demand to the Ricoh Arena. The DfT undertook a public consultation inviting people to offer their views and suggestions for the franchise. Then it organised a bidding competition and awarded the franchise. A "major timetable recast" is planned for December 2018 based on improving the performance of Birmingham New Street, said Abellio. From May 2021 there will be a Sunday timetable that runs as many services as Saturdays, doubling the current number of services. What questions do you have about the takeover? Submit them in the form below and we could be in touch. Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) are some of the republic's most wretched citizens because of an unforgiving Hindu caste hierarchy that condemns them to the bottom of the heap. Although untouchability among Hindus is widely documented and debated, its existence among India's Muslims is rarely discussed. One reason possibly is that Islam does not recognise caste, and promotes equality and egalitarianism. Most of India's 140 million Muslims are descended from local converts. Many of them converted to Islam to escape Hindu upper-caste oppression. Their descendants form the overwhelming majority - 75% - of the present Indian Muslim population, and they are called the Dalit Muslims, according to Ejaz Ali, leader of an organisation representing socially disadvantaged Muslims. "But caste and untouchability is a lived reality for Muslims living in India and South Asia," Dr Aftab Alam, a political scientist who has worked on the subject, told me. "And untouchability is the community's worst-kept secret." Studies have claimed that "concepts of purity and impurity; clean and unclean castes" do exist among Muslims groups. A book by Ali Anwar says while Dalits are called asprishya (untouchable) in Hindu society, they are called arzal (inferior) among the Muslims. A 2009 study by Dr Alam found there was not a single "Dalit Muslim" in any of the prominent Muslim organisations, which were dominated essentially by four "upper-caste" Muslim groups. Now a major study - possibly the first its kind - by a group of researchers reveals that the scourge of untouchability is alive and well among Indian Muslims. Prashant K Trivedi, Srinivas Goli, Fahimuddin and Surinder Kumar polled more than 7,000 households across 14 districts between October 2014 and April 2015 in the populous northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Some of their findings include: Caste-related prejudices are found among all religious communities - including Sikhs - in India. Parsis are possibly an exception. "But a belief that caste is a Hindu phenomenon since caste system derives legitimacy from Hindu religious texts, has dominated thinking of governments and academia since the colonial period," says Prashant K Trivedi. So he and his co-researchers believe that "Dalit Muslims" - and Christians - deserve affirmative action benefits like their Hindu outcaste counterparts. The moral of the story: you can try to leave caste in India, but caste refuses to leave you.

Amid the tributes to the entertainer, some fans have called for a statue of the entertainer to be erected outside a BBC building. A spokesperson for the BBC said it would look into the idea of a memorial to mark his 75-year career. "We are more than happy to look at what would be the most fitting tribute to a BBC showbiz legend." Councillors in Edmonton, north London - where he was born - are also said to be considering plans to commemorate the Strictly star with a permanent memorial. Independent Edmonton councillor Nesimi Erbil told The Telegraph he would hope a statue or plaque would be agreed upon in the borough. The former host of The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right started his career at the age of 14 and already has a number of permanent tributes. In 2005, a bronze bust of the entertainer was unveiled at London's Palladium theatre, where he hosted TV's Sunday Night at the London Palladium in the 1950s and 60s. There is also a special plaque celebrating his record-breaking number of appearances at The Hippodrome in London. Funeral details for the star have not yet been announced. On Sunday, his manager Ian Wilson said: "The family have barely discussed let alone finalised arrangements. An announcement will be made in the coming days." The game show host had not been seen in public for a while before he died. He stopped hosting Strictly in 2014, and in 2015 he had keyhole surgery after suffering two aneurysms. His health had deteriorated recently after he contracted bronchial pneumonia. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Bashir Naderi, 19, had his deportation stopped by a judge just hours before he was due to board the plane last month. He has lived in Wales for nine years after his mother paid traffickers to bring him to the UK. Mr Naderi said: "I just want to live a normal life, like a normal person". His father was a policeman when Taliban fighters had control of the country, murdering him close to the family home. Mr Naderi had been sent out to bring lunch to his father when he witnessed him being shot dead. "I was nine years old. No one can forget something like that," he said. "It happened right in front of me. If someone is being murdered right in front of you, you don't forget it." After the death, his mother sold the family plot of land so her son could be smuggled out of the country and brought to the UK. He told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad show he did not know if his mother was alive or dead. Mr Naderi said he had no other family back in Afghanistan and feared for his own safety if he was forced to return. "I would have nowhere to go, I don't speak the language - I belong here," he said. "I just want to stay in this country. This is my home town where I belong with my family. He was arrested in October after reporting for a monthly sign-in at the Home Office and taken to a detention centre in Oxfordshire to await deportation. He was given an initial 14-day reprieve just hours before he was due to be forced on to a plane, after a judge ordered his release. More than 14,000 people have signed a petition organised by his girlfriend demanding he is allowed to remain in Wales, backed by celebrities including the singers Cerys Matthews and Charlotte Church. His case has also won cross-party support from AMs and backing by MPs. "If they knew Bash like the rest of us, there could be no way they could send him back," said his partner, Nicole Cooper. "He wouldn't fit in - he would stand out, especially with the Cardiff accent he has. It's traumatising - it's not fair." Mr Naderi, who has been studying decorating at Cardiff and Vale College, said he had been overwhelmed by the support he has had. He still has to report to the Home office every week while his case is being reviewed. "Every time I go in I am scared, I am frightened I am not going to come out again," added Mr Naderi. The Home Office said it did not comment on individual cases.

A Cardiff student fighting deportation to Afghanistan said witnessing his father's execution by the Taliban was a "nightmare that is with me always".

The Jet Centre was evacuated briefly after a stage speaker in the cinema screen apparently short-circuited. One filmgoer said he "noticed a glowing light behind the screen". "I paid more attention to it and I realised it was the speaker and that it was on fire," Portadown teenager Andrew said. "I pointed it to my dad and he didn't understand what it was - he thought it was part of the movie." The centre was forced to close early on Tuesday night, but said it would reopen as normal on Wednesday. Four fire engines were dispatched, but the fire was already out when they arrived. "Following health and safety procedure, staff evacuated all areas of the complex just after 8pm," a cinema spokesperson told BBC News NI. No-one was hurt and there was no damage to the building, said a centre manager. Customers whose entertainment was disrupted should contact the centre, added a statement. "This turned out not to be a serious incident but we are delighted by the quick response of our staff and the care taken to ensure the safety of our customers," said Jet Centre owner Michael McAdam. "Our procedures were followed to the letter by our staff and by the time the fire brigade arrived, everyone was out of the building." Christopher Nolan's World War Two film, Dunkirk, tells the story of the mass evacuation of Allied troops from the northern coast of France in 1940.

South Stream will stretch across the Black Sea to southern and central Europe, providing another gas transit route for Russia's Gazprom. But the EU is worried about the gas producer also owning a pipe network. Bulgaria stopped work on South Stream in June after tensions in Ukraine. On Tuesday, the minister ordered the Bulgarian Energy Holding to suspend any competitive bidding procedures and the signing of any contracts relevant to South Stream. Bulgaria is almost entirely dependent on Russian gas and has been trying for years to diversify its sources. South Stream's offshore section would run beneath the Black Sea across territory run by Russia, Bulgaria and Turkey. The onshore section will cross Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Slovenia. Currently, 15% of the EU's gas supply from Russia is piped through Ukraine. South Stream would by-pass the country. Laurent Ruseckas, global gas analyst at the economic research firm IHS said: "Bulgaria has been strongly supportive of South Stream, which will give it greater security of gas supply - but as the situation in Ukraine has deteriorated, it has come under increasing pressure from Brussels to stop co-operating with Gazprom on the project. "The government had already announced a suspension of South Stream in June, but in practice activity seemed to continue. The current announcement could be a bit more serious, although time will tell." The construction of South Stream began in late 2012, with the first gas deliveries expected in 2016. The pipeline is due to become fully operational in 2018.

The 37-year-old's highest scoring word was BRACONID, meaning a parasitic wasp, which earned him 176 points. Mr Smitheram, who also collected a 7,000 euro (£5,873) prize, said he was "absolutely thrilled to have won". It was the former UK champion's first victory at the tournament. His best previous result was reaching the quarter finals in 2014. His Knutsford-based opponent, Mark Nyman, is a writer who was named world Scrabble champion in 1993 and has been a producer on legendary Channel 4 word game Countdown. After his win, Mr Smitheram admitted his opponent was one of his "Scrabble idols" when he was growing up. "He used to be the producer of Countdown and he got me on Countdown when I was 17, 20 years ago now. I was on Countdown about 10 or 12 times," the new champion said. "So he's known me for 20 years, and at the time when he interviewed me for Countdown he said 'What's your biggest aspiration?' and I said 'I want to win the Scrabble World Championship'. "And today I beat him in order to do it. Quite a story behind it." Knox is the world number 20 at the moment. Only five players in Darren Clarke's team are ranked higher than the Inverness man - Henrik Stenson (four), Rory McIlroy (five), Justin Rose (10), Danny Willett (11) and Sergio Garcia (12). The other seven in Clarke's team are ranked below - and in some cases miles below - Knox in the world order. Rafa Cabrera Bello is ranked 27th, Chris Wood is 28th, Thomas Pieters is 41st, Andy Sullivan is 42nd, Lee Westwood 46th, Matt Fitzpatrick 48th and Martin Kaymer 50th. Clarke was always going to go for at least two experienced players among his three captain's picks and nobody can quibble with the inclusion of Ryder Cup warriors Westwood and Kaymer. Three wildcards - but, in real life, there was only ever one spot up for grabs as soon as it became obvious that the Englishman and the German would require a pick. Media playback is not supported on this device When Knox sank that terrific putt across the 18th green to win the Travelers Championship in early August he looked like a shoo-in for the team. It was Knox's second victory on the PGA Tour since November - the other being his breakthrough win in an all-star field at the WGC in Shanghai. He was not a member of the European Tour then, so the ranking points did not count towards his Ryder Cup bid. Had he joined the Tour a week before instead of a week after, he would have made the team automatically. That night of the Travelers the lost points in Shanghai did not seem to matter because the Scot's form was looking formidable. Apart from his two wins, he would also finished second to Graeme McDowell at the OHL Classic, second again to Branden Grace at the Heritage and second once more to Rory McIlroy at the Irish Open. The gist was that Clarke probably wanted three experienced players as his wildcards to counterbalance the five rookies already in his team, but that Knox was forcing his hand with his excellence. In early August, Knox looked a certainty. Things changed, dramatically. The fast emergence of Pieters was something that Knox, and others, did not see coming. Fourth at the Olympics, second at the Czech Masters and first last week at the Made in Denmark event was a hell of a run by the talented Belgian. Suddenly, Knox had a challenger for that one wildcard spot. Knox has not helped himself either. You could not say for sure that he blew his own chances but he did himself no favours by his approach post-Travelers. He had two ranking events left after that and he played in neither of them. He thought he had done enough. He sat back and waited for Clarke's call while Pieters burned it up elsewhere. Knox should have played in the Wyndham on the PGA Tour to show his intent to qualify by right, but he did not. He should have gone to Denmark last week, thereby showing his captain that he had a huge desire to make the team, but instead he opted for the cash mountain that was The Barclays. There were Ryder Cup points on offer in Denmark but not in the USA. In choosing the USA, the Scot gave out a bad signal. At the beginning of last week, an interview with Knox was published in Golf Digest magazine. That, too, probably damaged his case for a pick. Knox displayed an alarming sense of entitlement. It would have been understandable had Clarke harboured grave doubts about Knox's ability to fit into a team once he read that interview. "As I said to someone recently, my big problem was not getting the points for winning in China," said Knox of his victory in Shanghai. "I'd be in if they counted. So there is a moral obligation to pick me, I guess. I don't want Darren to pick me because of that, though. His goal is to pick the three best players who did not make the team. And I have a hard time not thinking I am one of those right now." Moral obligation? This was a player dictating to a captain - and no good ever comes of that. It was a bizarre approach from Knox; it was utterly self-defeating when Pieters was already laying down a huge case for inclusion. Knox went on: "If all he [Clarke] does is list those he thinks are playing the best right now, I don't know how I can't be in the top 12. I know people are assuming I am the third of the three picks if he goes for Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer. But I should really be the first." The first? It smacked of arrogance. Knox has only recently become a member of the European Tour, but ticking a box is not enough. He has not shown the commitment to playing in this part of the world that his captain would want. Pieters is a dedicated member of the Tour. Knox is not. Because he played in Denmark last week, Pieters got to partner his captain - and shot the lights out in his company - while Knox was in New York playing The Barclays. Out of sight, out of mind. The Belgian is a terrific player, a massive hitter, a birdie-machine and a future star of the Tour. He deserves his spot. Knox played his way into contention and then let the moment slip. The draw takes place on Monday in Nyon, Switzerland, from 11:00 GMT, followed by the draw for the last 32 of the Europa League. BBC Sport takes a look at which teams have progressed, who they could face and all the important dates for your diary. You can follow the draw live on the BBC Sport website and app via Sportsday. The winner of each group will be drawn against a runner-up, but teams cannot face a side from their own nation in the last 16, or a club they met in the group stage. Group winners will play the first leg away and the second leg at home. What are the key dates? Arsenal will be paired with one of: Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Real Madrid, Porto, Sevilla. Manchester City's opponents will be one of: Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Monaco, Napoli. Leicester City will face one of: Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Sevilla. Tottenham were the one English casualty, finishing third to secure a place in the Europa League. Celtic, in the same group as Barcelona and Man City, finished bottom without a win and are out of European football for this season. Besiktas and Dynamo Kiev may have been disappointed not to make it through a group that saw Napoli and Benfica progress. And spare a thought for Club Brugge and Dinamo Zagreb, who finished on zero points, with the latter not managing a single goal. Tottenham finished as one of the four best third-placed teams in the Champions League groups, meaning they will be seeded with the 12 Europa League group-stage winners for the last 32 of the Europa League when the draw is made on Monday, from 12:00 GMT. Because Manchester United finished second in Group A behind Fenerbahce, they are unseeded - joining the 11 other group runners-up and the four remaining Champions League third-placed teams These are the 32 teams confirmed for the knockout stage.

The three-mile (4.8km) stretch of shoreline neighbouring Peterstone Wentlooge was sold for £61,000. Auctioneer Keri Harding-Jones said the sale was "extremely rare" as more than half of the UK's shoreline belongs to the Crown Estate. Paul Fosh Auctions said the beach could only be used at low tide before the sea comes in from the Bristol Channel. Roger Thomas, from Cooke and Arkwright Estate Agents, who purchased the land on behalf of the mystery buyer said: "I can't reveal who the new owner is but what I can say is there will be a continuation of the current use for sporting and conservation activities on the land." He added: "There were about six individual bidders active in the room on the night including on the phone." Among them were two children in the white makeshift tarpaulin structure perched on top of a slope. They stood for a few minutes and nurses dressed in protective suits guided them to their beds. The adults walked like children learning to take their first steps. And the children had to be led by the hand. They were carried away like people being taken to the gallows. I would later learn that all of them died, except one. The sight of a girl among them, probably five years old, has never faded from my memory. Whenever I give my two-year-old daughter Anna her daily morning hug, or send her to sleep at night, memories have flashed back of the girl in the doorway who looked weak and emaciated even from a distance. I have developed a natural thermometer - the back of my hand - to check body temperatures, mine and the children's. The traditional thermometer resembles a syringe and scares my daughter, so I use my hand. It is a routine I have never needed before. When I drive and get stuck in traffic, it has become instinctive for me to place the back of my hand on my temple, neck and wrist. I pull the rear mirror to see if I do not have red-shot eyes - one of the signs of Ebola - and tend to repeat that process several times at home. Intermittently, I grab my viral gels to disinfect my hands just in case I may have come into contact with an infected person. As a journalist, I have covered civil wars in which I was shot in the legs and violent elections in which I was a target. But I have never felt as frightened and as close to death as I have while covering the current Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. I believe in eyewitness journalism, where possible, but the nature of the Ebola coverage has forced me to exercise restraint. The virus moves through human bodily fluids and, as a broadcast journalist, the windshield on the microphone could be a conduit for the spittle of someone who has the virus. That is besides the fact that I could make a mistake and touch an infected person. As a result, my movement is highly restricted. Sierra Leone is a malaria-prone country and, as a consequence, fever is a fairly common condition. The plasmodium parasite is the biggest killer of the country's children and has sent many adults to the world beyond. Since the Ebola outbreak, it is amazing to witness the relief of parents whose child has been diagnosed with malaria. These days hospitals here - both public and private - are effectively closed to non-Ebola patients. At home we have abundant supplies of gloves, second only to foodstuff, for emergencies like a fever. One of the biggest scares I have had throughout this crisis was when Anna fell ill. Her temperature shot up to 37 degrees Celsius. A paediatrician later gave us advice and prescription on the phone to treat her. She was fine the next day. In early August I felt a high fever which struck at the same time as a harsh stomach pain. The night felt as long as a week. I sent a text message to an Indian doctor who is a friend of mine in Freetown at around 03:00 am. He immediately called and asked me to see him later that morning. I isolated myself without my children noticing for fear of spreading panic, and informed the BBC. It transpired that my pain was caused by ulcers. Every feeling of fever or stomach pain these days is treated as suspicious. My children are locked in a virtual prison. With schools closed nationwide because of the outbreak, I stopped my eight-year-old son from attending Islamic school for the same reason. They spend days inside our gated compound with no direct contact with the outside world. And they are required to wash their hands regularly. After a bitter disagreement, my wife and I agreed to send our housemaid away - with pay - until the situation improves. The kids in the doorway of the Kenema Ebola clinic are just the tip of the iceberg. As of 16 December, 373 children had been lost their lives to the virus in Sierra Leone, according to the UN Ebola mission. A further 5,135 had lost one or both parents to Ebola. Whenever I think about these grim figures, I make an extra effort to be a good parent. I do this by being home for most of the day - and showing my children more love and giving them more attention. Ebola will leave us one day. But memories of this virus and how it changed my lifestyle and that of my children will be with me forever. The 26-year-old has joined the Brewers until 2 January and adds to the club's attacking options after a long-term injury to summer signing Liam Boyce. Mason spent five seasons at Cardiff, scoring 22 league goals, before joining Wolves in January 2016. "We need goals and we are building up other options," said Burton manager Nigel Clough. "We are not ruling out getting someone else in as well." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The suicide attack, at the entrance to a court in the north-western town of Shabqadar, wounded nearly 30 others, police told local media. Militants said it was to avenge the hanging last week of Mumtaz Qadri, who was seen by many as a religious hero. Qadri killed the governor of Punjab in 2011 for opposing blasphemy laws. Shabqadar is located on the border of the tribal district of Mohmand, which remains volatile years after the military said it had been cleared of militants. "The court and judges were our target as their practices are un-Islamic," a spokesperson for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a splinter group of Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), told Pakistan's Express Tribune. Why did Pakistan keep hard-line mourners off air? How Punjab governor's killer became a hero The attack in Shabqadar is the first response by Taliban militants to last week's execution of Mumtaz Qadri, a former police guard who had shot dead a provincial governor for alleged blasphemy. It took place in the same region where a similar attack on a university campus in January left more than 20 people dead. This region in north-western Pakistan is located on the border with Pakistan's semi-autonomous Mohmand tribal district, which adjoins the Afghan province of Kunar. In the past, the area has been home to the so-called Mohmand Taliban, a regional ally of Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP). But most of its sanctuaries were eliminated by the military in a series of operations during 2011-12. However, the Mohmand Taliban slipped into neighbouring Kunar, from where they have continued to be able to launch attacks inside Pakistan. Pakistani officials have been raising the issue with the Afghan authorities, but many analysts suggest Kabul doesn't have the resources to establish its authority in the remote mountainous region. Rivaldo was involved in all three Mogi Mirim goals as they beat Macae 3-1, his pass leading to his 20-year-old son's headed goal after three minutes. Former Barcelona and AC Milan forward Rivaldo, who won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil, later scored a penalty. The 43-year-old retired in March 2014, but decided to return this month. There have been several famous football fathers and sons, including the Cloughs and the Maldinis, but few have played together. In English football, European Cup winner Ian Bowyer and son Gary played together for Hereford United, while ex-Manchester City forward Alec Herd featured alongside son David - who went on to play for Manchester United - for Stockport County in the 1950s. In 1996, Eidur Gudjohnsen, then 17, came on as substitute for 34-year-old father Arnor during Iceland's 3-0 win over Estonia. The duo never played together in a professional match. The former deputy prime minister, who is now the party's EU spokesman, said the single market was a UK creation that was vital for jobs and prosperity. The Tories, he said, were "up a Brexit creek without a paddle, a canoe or a map - they have absolutely no clue". The government has insisted it will secure a "positive outcome" on trade. The Lib Dems, who campaigned to stay in the EU, are pushing for a referendum on the terms of a final Brexit deal. However, former Lib Dem business secretary Vince Cable said the party "must accept" the referendum result and stop focusing on a second vote. The UK voted to end its EU membership by 51.9% to 48.1% in a referendum on 23 June. The timing of the process for exit has so far been clouded by uncertainty, with no clear signal from Mrs May's government on when it would begin - other than it will not start this year. There is also confusion over the nature of the UK's future relationship with the EU, especially whether it intends to remain a member of the single market, which offers free movement of goods, finance and people around the EU without any tariffs, quotas or taxes. In a speech to party members in Brighton, Mr Clegg said he feared that under pressure from "swivel-eyed" Conservative backbenchers and the Eurosceptic press, Prime Minister Theresa May would be forced into pursuing a so-called "hard Brexit" - leading to "gridlock" in negotiations with the rest of the EU. Continued membership of the single market must be a red line in the UK's talks with the other 27 members, he said. He said: "It is entirely possible to be in the single market but out of the EU, as Norway has shown. While it is undoubtedly an inferior option compared to full EU membership, it is the only option that would safeguard jobs and prosperity. " The alternative, Mr Clegg added, is "many years of chaos" for key export industries such as cars, financial services and food and drink. We won't get a deal from outside the single market which comes anything close to the privileges we have as a member - that is the unavoidable truth that the Tories won't tell you." To widespread applause from Lib Dem activists, Mr Clegg said the Conservatives would never again be able to claim the mantle of being the party of business or be regarded as a responsible party of government if they damaged the economy in the process. Lib Dem party members endorsed a proposal for a referendum on the terms of the final Brexit deal negotiated by the government, with the option of remaining in the EU. Leader Tim Farron has made calls for another referendum a key part of the Lib Dems' pitch, and a central theme of its conference, while insisting he respects the Brexit result. But Mr Cable, who lost his seat at the 2015 general election, has said holding a second vote "raises a lot of fundamental problems". Mr Cable, who voted against the motion, told a fringe meeting he understood the anger at the outcome of the Brexit vote but it was wrong to think it could be reversed. "The public have voted and I do think it's seriously disrespectful and politically utterly counterproductive to say 'sorry guys, you've got it wrong, we're going to try again'. "I don't think we can do that. That's a personal view, and a lot of people won't share that view." Mr Cable said he was "not criticising" Mr Farron, but rather he wanted to "see more emphasis on what it is we want from these negotiations rather than arguing about the tactics and the means". Mrs May has insisted "Brexit means Brexit" but she has refused to give a "running commentary" on the government's Brexit negotiating strategy, saying it would be an error to "reveal our hand prematurely". She has said, however, that the government is determined to secure the "right deal" for Britain, that includes a "good deal" in trading goods and services, as well as controls on immigration. Former education secretary Nicky Morgan, who was sacked in Mrs May's reshuffle, said on Sunday was time for the government to "flesh out" some of the details on its plans. "You are seeing today that there are people in the Conservative parliamentary party now saying they are going to set up a sort of hard Brexit group. "If you leave a vacuum other people will fill it and therefore I think the time is now to say - 'this is what we would like to get out of Brexit'," she told ITV's Peston on Sunday. Liliana Cernecca was able to open her mouth only a couple of millimetres after one of her jaw joints fused - a rare condition called ankylosis. She is one of the youngest people to have had such surgery, which took place at King's College Hospital in London. Her family said Liliana had been "bouncing" ever since the operation and was now more confident. The problem started after an ear infection when Liliana, from south London, was 18 months old. The bone, which has a similar structure to pumice stone, became full of infection which eventually led to ankylosis - the fusing of the jaw-bone to the skull. Liliana's mother, Sonia, told the BBC: "Eating was difficult and messy and it was difficult brushing teeth, she'd never really known being able to take a bite from an apple, we had to just cut food up really small." The right side was fused, but the left was growing normally. It meant the shape of her face was becoming progressively skewed to the right as she got older. Mr Shaun Matthews, consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon at King's, said: "We couldn't leave her like this as things would only get worse. "Although she already had extremely limited mouth opening - 5mm or thereabouts - the chances are it was going to get worse to the point where she had none at all and clearly that was going to be entirely unacceptable." Problems concerned with the brushing of teeth can cause life-threatening consequences as poor dental hygiene can lead to tooth infections, which can readily spread into the head and neck. The head of the jaw joint was removed during an operation so that the jaw was only held on by muscle and ligaments on the right hand side. The jaw head is expected to re-grow normally with time. Liliana was nervous about trying to move her mouth after the operation and then "she yawned for the first time, oh my God, it was amazing", her mum said. She added: "She was shocked and just touched her face it was just wonderful, I'm getting goosebumps thinking about it. "She can eat and chew and it just gets better every week, she can eat a banana now." One of the biggest differences was in school where she is now more talkative and confident. Mr Matthews said the procedure was "pretty darn rare" especially in the UK. He said it was a wonderful and lovely moment when Liliana yawned for the first time, but that she may need more surgery in the future. "We will monitor her growth very carefully over the next several years and through puberty in particular. "She may well need to have further interventional surgery as she gets older, particularly once she's gone through her adolescent growth spurt, but that should be easier to correct now that her main problem has been overcome." The World Diamond Council (WDC) said it welcomed the decision, reached in talks involving the US, European Union (EU) and African countries. The EU and US had blocked previous attempts to lift the ban. It was imposed in 2009 following allegations that Zimbabwean military officers had a stake in the industry. Europe's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the EU supported the lifting of the ban because of "a renewed commitment by Zimbabwe to address outstanding areas of noncompliance", the Reuters news agency reports. The agreement was reached at a meeting in the Democratic Republic of Congo of the Kimberley Process, a watchdog body which certifies international trade in diamonds to ensure they are not used to fuel conflicts. In a statement, the WDC said the breakthrough paved the way for the immediate export of rough diamonds from the mining operations of two companies, Marange Resources and Mbada. The Zimbabwe government wholly owns Marange Resources and has a 50% stake in Mbada, which it co-owns with South African investors, Reuters reports. Other companies such as Anjin Zimbabwe, a 50-50 joint venture between the Zimbabwean and Chinese governments, will begin to export after a Kimberley Process verification team visits their operations in the next two weeks, it reports. WDC President Eli Izhakoff described the deal as a milestone. "[It] demonstrates categorically that the Kimberley Process provides the framework through which the integrity of the rough diamond chain of distribution can be protected, while at the same time enabling producing countries [to] gain benefit from their natural resources," he said. Mr Izhakoff said the EU had played a key role in ending the deadlock. "Credit also is due to Zimbabwe, the African nations led by South Africa, the US, and a host of individuals and delegates who put in long hours in negotiating the arrangement," he said. In June, the DR Congo government - after hosting a meeting of the Kimberley Process group - issued a statement, saying consensus had been reached on lifting the ban. However, this was denied at the time by the EU and US. Zimbabwe dismisses 'diamond torture camp' Zimbabwe's state-owned Herald newspaper said the lifting of the ban heralded a "decisive victory in the struggle against Western economic hegemony". Zimbabwe stands to earn more than $3bn (£1.8bn) a year from the three Marange mines, it reports. The ban was imposed in 2009, following allegations that some mines in Marange are controlled by Zimbabwe's military, who channel funds to President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party. Human rights groups also claimed that people were forced to work on the mines and some of them were badly assaulted. The authorities in Zimbabwe denied the allegations. Zimbabwe is currently governed by a coalition made up of Zanu-PF and its main rival, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. The coalition was formed in 2009, following elections marred by violence. Analysts say it has achieved stability in Zimbabwe, but tensions are rising again ahead of elections expected next year. The ceasefire had been in place since December 2014. Farc said it wanted a full bilateral truce but stressed it was not abandoning the long-running peace talks taking place in Havana. Meanwhile President Juan Manuel Santos has called on the rebels to "speed up" the negotiations. The two sides have been in on-off negotiations since 2012 in an attempt to end more than half a century of conflict. Thursday's attack - in the country's south-western Cauca region - was the deadliest since the resumption of air strikes against the rebels last month. The guerrilla group said in a statement that the ceasefire suspension was the result of "five months of land and air offensives against our structures all over the country". "We deplore the joint attack by the air force, the army and the police," said the statement. "We feel pain for the deaths of guerrilla fighters as well as soldiers, sons of a same people and from poor families". But the group said they were willing to continue with the latest round of peace talks in Havana. "Against our will we will proceed with the [peace] talks in the middle of a confrontation," they said. They also reiterated their demand for Mr Santos to agree a bilateral ceasefire. The peace talks in Havana between Colombia's government and Farc rebels were shaken in November when the rebels captured a high-ranking army general, who was later released. They were shaken again in April when the rebel group ambushed an army unit and killed 11 of its men. Now another flaring of violence will pile even more pressure on the men and women sitting around a table in the Cuban capital. The decision by the Farc to suspend its ceasefire seems to suggest an intensification of Colombia's half-century-long internal conflict. More attacks by the group are expected, as well as new government offensives. But both the government and the rebel group insisted in the wake of this latest confrontation that they will not abandon the negotiations in Havana. Moreover, some analysts in Colombia believe that this apparent setback could in fact be the first step towards a bilateral ceasefire. Mr Santos, who restarted air strikes against the rebels last month after 11 soldiers were killed in an ambush, addressed the rebels via his Twitter account. He wrote: "Gentlemen of the Farc: now is the time to speed up the negotiations. How many more deaths do we need to understand that we have arrived at the time for peace!" he wrote. Thursday's military action comprised an air strike and ground assault against the rebel group in Guapi, Cauca, said officials. The operation's aim was the capture of a rebel known by the alias "Javier", and two rebels were captured along with those killed, defence ministry officials told the Efe news agency. At the previous round of peace talks, the Farc called for the dismantling of right-wing paramilitary groups fighting against the rebels. The two sides failed to reach an agreement over reparations for the victims of the conflict, an issue that has been wrangled over for months. November 2012 - Formal peace talks begin in the Cuban capital Havana between the Colombian government and the Farc. May 2013 - A deal is reached on land reform, one of the most contentious issues. It calls for fair access to land, and rural development, two key causes of the conflict. November 2013 - The two sides agree on the political participation of the Farc should a peace deal be reached. May 2014 - Both parties pledge to eliminate all illicit drug production in Colombia. December 2014 - Farc declares a unilateral ceasefire. March 2015 - Both sides agree to work together to remove landmines. Colombia is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. April 2015 Government resumes air strikes after the Farc kills 11 soldiers in ambush. May 2015 Farc suspends its unilateral ceasefire after government military operation kills 26 rebel fighters. What is at stake in Colombia's peace process? Migrants staying illegally should instead be returned to the country from which they came under the so-called Return Directive, it said. The ruling applies to migrants crossing borders within the passport-free area and on leaving the zone. It will infuriate critics of EU policy, but contains several important caveats. Schengen: Controversial EU free movement deal explained The ruling was triggered by the case of a Ghanaian migrant who was found to be using false Belgian travel documents by French police at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel. Selina Affum was placed in police custody on grounds of illegal entry into French territory but argued that this was unlawful, in light of the EU's Return Directive. Under the directive, an illegal migrant told to leave has up to 30 days to go voluntarily. After that, removal should not involve excessive force or place the person's life in danger. The French court of cassation referred Ms Affum's case to the European Court of Justice, the EU's highest court. "The Return Directive prevents a national of a non-EU country who has not yet been subject to the return procedure being imprisoned solely because he or she has entered the territory of a Member State illegally across an internal border of the Schengen area," the Luxembourg-based court ruled. This was also the case when the migrant "is intercepted when leaving the Schengen area". It was welcomed by the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), which said it was "in line with international standards and interpretation on when detention is legitimate - when it is a measure which has a legitimate purpose and is proportionate". Spokesman Leonard Doyle added: "Most countries do however not use detention as a punitive measure, but detention is too frequently used as an administrative measure. The ruling is important in that it sends a clear signal that the use of detention should be used less and, as stated, as a last resort." The IOM said it was legitimate to detain migrants in cases where they risked absconding, but the 18-month period "is a maximum". The ruling does not apply to the UK or Ireland, which are not within the Schengen zone. It also does not apply to Denmark, which although a member of the Schengen zone holds an opt out from European Union justice policies. The ruling also contains some important conditions. It says migrants may be detained - for up to 18 months - if there is "a risk of the removal being compromised", which may be interpreted to mean that they are a flight risk. Detention is also permitted if a person is subject to a deportation order and has refused to go, or if they have already been deported, and have attempted to re-enter the country illegally, in breach of an entry ban. We are going to have to be careful with Aron Gunnarsson's long throws and their other set-plays, because they are a big side and they are good at them. They will pack their defence too but, if we play the same way we did in all three of our group games at Euro 2016, I think we will win and reach the quarter-finals. What we don't want is a situation where we are desperately trying to push forward to break them down, lose our shape and get done on the counter-attack. That is what Iceland have done so well in France - they do not create much but they have the highest shot-conversion rate of any team here. We will have to stay focused at the back and be patient, but we are going to dominate possession and we will be able to open them up - I am certain of that. The reason I am so confident is because we have had so many chances against all three teams we have played so far in this tournament. Only Portugal had more shots in the group stage than we managed against Russia, Wales and Slovakia, and Iceland are simply not as good as those last two teams. We just have to play at the same tempo we have done in all our matches in France so far, keep the ball moving, get it into people's feet around the box and mix things up by getting crosses in too. I can see Roy Hodgson bringing back Tottenham duo Kyle Walker and Danny Rose as his full-backs, and Dele Alli and Wayne Rooney will return, which makes sense because that is our strongest midfield. He will stick with his 4-3-3 formation because our shape has been decent and defensively we have been fine. The only area where there is a real selection decision to be made is up front. It looks like Roy is going to bring in Raheem Sterling but I'd have retained Adam Lallana, because he has been terrific. I imagine that if Sterling does start it will be on the left of the front three, with Daniel Sturridge just tucked in off the right again. What Sturridge gives you, especially around the box, is his ability to go past people. He has got quick feet that can open up the kind of packed defence England will face in Nice. I have got a feeling Roy will go for Harry Kane in the middle because Iceland will not leave any space behind their back-line for Jamie Vardy to exploit. He will probably feel that Kane is a bit better with his back to goal on the edge of the box. Personally, I would leave Vardy in because he looks that little bit sharper - although Kane could easily make me eat my words, because he is the sort of player who can go a couple of games without playing well then bang a wonder goal in. Whoever plays, though, we should be good enough. Media playback is not supported on this device I had a debate with fellow BBC pundit Alan Shearer after the 0-0 draw with Slovakia because he was more critical of how England played in the second half of that game. My point was that, before Euro 2016 started, Slovakia had only lost two out of 20 games in the past two years and they are a decent side defensively. I was not arguing with Alan about the fact we should have beaten them, and there is no hiding from the fact we have struggled a bit in front of goal. We will have to be far more clinical from now on, but we are doing everything else right. We are always very self-critical - I think most countries are. I have been reading some of the French newspapers and they have jumped on France's backs a bit too. England's performances so far have been better than I thought they would be and, if I were on the coaching staff, I would be quite pleased. If you are going to have a misfiring frontline, if you want to call it that, then it is better to have it in the group stage. Personally, I would rather try to be positive about the way things have gone than jump on to all the negatives about the manager supposedly not knowing his best team and mixing his formation. If he had stayed with the same team and formation for three games, people would be asking why he has not changed it around - sometimes you cannot win as an England coach. Knowing Roy, I think it will have annoyed him that his boss at the Football Association, Greg Dyke, has been talking about his future while England are still in Euro 2016. You have to be bright enough to bat some questions away while the tournament is going on. For me, there has definitely been a progression from England since the 2014 World Cup. We have got a talented bunch of players and they are playing with energy, desire and on the front foot. The fact we have moved forward is a credit to Roy and his coaching staff for working with the team and giving them confidence and freedom. He lets them go out and express themselves when a lot of people suggested he would not do that. What happens next is clearly going to be based on the next couple of weeks, though, not the last two years. Roy knows his position is under pressure and if England do not beat Iceland, it is impossible for him to stay in charge. At the same time, it is pretty obvious the situation will be very different if we get to the semi-finals or further, and that is attainable. At the moment, we are looking good. The speculation about Roy's new contract is not going to affect the team's preparation or performance on Monday, so let's just deal with all of that when this tournament is done.

Land next to the estuary flooded as a high tide and strong winds caused a storm surge of water which overtopped flood defences. Footage courtesy of Humberside Police. The hole in the plane's side appeared shortly after take-off from Mogadishu at 10,000ft (3,048m), a colleague of one of the passengers told the BBC. It is not clear what caused the damage. Officials say two passengers were hurt. The Daallo Airlines flight, bound for Djibouti, was carrying about 60 people on board, a police officer at the scene told the Bloomberg news agency. Some reports say a fire broke out shortly after take-off. Darren Howe, who had a colleague on the plane, took a photo of the damaged aircraft after it had landed. "It was not an explosion but a fuselage failure at 10,000ft," he told the BBC. Daallo Airlines flies regularly from its base in Dubai to Somalia and Djibouti. But manager Mark McGhee has incurred a one-match suspension for his later reaction to the incident. McGhee immediately accepted the touchline ban for comments made to the fourth official at full-time. Assistant manager Stephen Robinson was dismissed along with Lasley, with both cases to be considered at a Scottish FA disciplinary hearing on 12 May. The notice of complaint against McGhee and Robinson says the duo "adopted aggressive behaviour" towards the fourth official and used "offensive, abusing and insulting language". McGhee will sit in the stand for Saturday's visit of St Johnstone, while Robinson and Lasley will both be available pending their hearings. Veteran midfielder Lasley was sent off by referee Bobby Madden late in the game following a challenge on Kenny McLean. "I thought it was more of a tired, miss-timed tackle, rather than one that was reckless, violent or with intent to hurt," said McGhee. "There was another tackle earlier in the game that was fairly similar in many ways, that resulted in a booking, which is why I was surprised at the red card. "Obviously Bobby, who I thought had a good game overall, had the yellow in his hand and he's changed his mind, which he's perfectly entitled to do, but I think his initial gut reaction to the challenge was the correct one." The girl, who cannot be named, is accused of murdering Elizabeth Edwards, 49, and Katie Edwards, 13. The pair were stabbed in the neck at their home in Spalding, Lincolnshire, in April. The girl has admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but denies murder. A 15-year old boy has admitted murdering both women. The accused were both 14 at the time of the killings. The girl did not physically take part in their killings but the prosecution alleges she "is as guilty of murder" as the boy. In his closing speech to jurors at Nottingham Crown Court, prosecutor Peter Joyce QC said: "This case, I would suggest, is outside any of your experiences and worst nightmares, but, as the old saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. "Which of you could imagine that a 14-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy could plan over and over and over again to kill [these two women]? "You do not need to imagine it, it's true and it's completely unchallenged by this girl." He told jurors: "...You know what they planned, you know how they planned it and you know in awful detail how they carried it out. "But you also know who in fact was the driver between these two." "If she had said no then it would never ever have happened," he said. Closing for the defence, barrister Andrew Stubbs QC reminded the jury of the evidence of Dr Chakrabati who diagnosed the girl as having an adjustment disorder at the time of the killings. He also urged the jury to consider the girl's mental state before the killings, pointing to an entry in her diary which read "Help me. Death is the only way. Madness is in me." He told the jury to undertake "a calm analysis of the evidence", adding that "on the balance of probabilities you can conclude that justice in this case means that however responsible she is for the killings she is in fact not guilty of murder".

Town could name the same XI that started the second leg of their semi-final win over Sheffield Wednesday. Chelsea loanee Kasey Palmer (hamstring) may be a surprise squad inclusion after missing the past three months. Reading will hope Jordan Obita (ankle) is available after missing the semi-final second leg against Fulham. Garath McCleary (hamstring) will push for a start after being on the bench in that 1-0 win. The two sides finished fifth and third respectively in the regular season and were separated by four points. Huddersfield are bidding to return to English football's top flight for the first time since 1972, while if Jaap Stam's side are victorious at Wembley, it would see them return to the Premier League after a four-season absence. Media playback is not supported on this device Huddersfield head coach David Wagner told BBC Radio Leeds: "I think everybody expected Fulham and Sheffield Wednesday in the final. "There were a lot of statements before the semi-finals about momentum and about form. It is another example where we have proven that experience and what has happened in the past is irrelevant. "After the 120 minutes against Sheffield Wednesday there were a lot of tired legs, but now after a training camp in Portugal and training on the grass here, everybody is ready to go." Media playback is not supported on this device Reading manager Jaap Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire: "You've always got ideals as a manager that you want to go for the best results or finish as high as you can, but to end up in the top 10 would have been a good season for us. "It's a very big and important game, but the players know what they need to do. Everyone's quite calm within the team and there's experienced players there. "Times like this are probably easiest for a manager, as you don't need to say a lot as a manager as everybody knows what they need to do to win that game and everybody knows what's at stake." Paul Ogden, BBC Radio Leeds Huddersfield Town still have some very fresh memories of play-off triumphs, from both Wembley and Cardiff, but the Championship play-off final? It's something we usually watch others do, en route to our half-term beach. This Wembley weekend has upgraded rapidly in fans' minds, from a possible end-of-season-bonus to something that now should result in regular appearances on Match of The Day next season. Reading are a respected opponent, similar to Huddersfield in their organisation and desire to keep the ball to themselves all day long, if at all possible. But as the only play-off participant to have been defeated by Huddersfield during the regular season, the Royals have been regarded throughout as more desirable than free-scoring Fulham or, until the semi-final, indomitable Sheffield Wednesday. After a season dominated by nail-biting victories (22 of Huddersfield's 25 regular-season wins were by a single goal margin), it is so very Huddersfield to reach Wembley by a penalty shoot-out, and then mysteriously re-introduce cherished Chelsea loanee Kasey Palmer to the squad, during a post-semi-final warm weather training camp. The thought of Chelsea's borrowed flair-pair Izzy Brown and Palmer, plus a German leading scorer called Elias Kachunga, running free across Wembley in Huddersfield Town colours, will keep all Terriers fans awake with excitement until Monday. That image, like so many others from a breathtaking season, carry the same likely subtitle; it could be a while before Huddersfield Town fans see anything like this again. Media playback is not supported on this device Tim Dellor, BBC Radio Berkshire Anyone who says they knows who will win this game is guessing - it's far too tight to call. With 1-0 home wins in the fixtures between these two sides in the regular league season, and only four points separating the two teams over the 46 games, the stats back that up. The two teams have reached the most valuable game in football in a similar manner. Reading finished 17th last season, and Huddersfield were two places below them. They have both gone for relatively untried European managers in their mid-40s, who brought in a dozen new players last summer. They both have distinctive possession-based tactical approaches to the game. Statistically, tactically, and managerially there is little difference, leaving us with the mental toughness of the players. The team that best copes with the stress of the big occasion, the huge crowd and the enormous consequences of success or failure will inevitably be the ones playing in the Premier League next season. Children were kept in some schools on Tuesday to await collection during the hunt for Abdelnabi Alainani, 30, around the Midpark Hospital in Dumfries. Police said initial reports suggested he might have had a knife but it was subsequently found near the unit. The search is continuing for Mr Alainani although it is thought he may have tried to make his way to Glasgow. Police said they fully understood public concern about children walking to and from schools after the "unusual request" to hold them in schools for collection. "We would like to explain why this happened and to offer some reassurance," a spokesman said. "Pupils were collected from some schools yesterday afternoon as a precaution to a fast moving missing person search. "A number of risk factors are taken into account during the first minutes and hours of an incident like this and steps are taken to reduce any potential risk to the public. "While we tried to confirm information we were given from staff at Midpark, we felt a request to keep pupils inside certain schools was appropriate." He said that as the situation had changed that decision had been reviewed. Police now believe the missing man may have tried to get to Glasgow and there have been no confirmed sightings since Tuesday afternoon. "Today we will continue our patrols, however we would ask the public to go about their normal routine," said the spokesman. Anyone who spots Mr Alainani has been asked not to approach him and to contact police. A spokesperson for NHS Dumfries and Galloway said: "We are concerned about the health and wellbeing of the patient and would reiterate the advice from Police Scotland for the public to be alert and vigilant, but not overly alarmed." Yorkshire's Brunt, 31, took 16 wickets with an economy rate of 5.03 for Perth in last season's competition. Somerset's Shrubsole, 24, is the second ranked bowler in T20 internationals but has not previously played in the WBBL. England captain Heather Knight and former skipper Charlotte Edwards will also be featuring in the tournament.

The wreckage was later bought by an American collector and painstakingly restored over five years at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire. It could fetch up to £2.5m when auctioned in July. William Porter, charged with manslaughter, said he did not call for a medic for Freddie Gray because he did not have a reason to do so. Gray died after sustaining a spinal injury in the back of a police van during one of its six stops. He said he checked on Gray during the stops, and he had no signs of injury. His death sparked protests over police brutality, with the city of Baltimore erupting in rioting, looting and arson on the day of his funeral. Gray was "unable to give me a reason for a medical emergency," Mr Porter told jurors. According to the Baltimore Sun, he told jurors that he held Gray in a "life saving position" at the police station for what "felt like an eternity". "It was a very traumatic thing for me also," he said. "Just seeing him in the neighborhood every day, and calling his name, and not getting a response." He also faces assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges, and could receive up to 25 years in prison. Six other Baltimore police officers will go on trial in Gray's death. All have pleaded not guilty. They will be tried separately and prosecutors hope to use Mr Porter as a witness in the other trials. Prosecutors have argued that Mr Porter is at least somewhat responsible for Gray's death because he did not buckle him into a seatbelt in the van after he was arrested for running from police, which is department policy, and he did not call for medical attention when Gray needed it. Mr Porter said Gray asked for help getting off of the floor of the van and denied claims that Gray told him he could not breathe, though he did say he heard him say something about needing an inhaler upon his arrest. He said in 200 arrests involving the van, he has never belted a prisoner because the wagon is "pretty tight". Mr Porter told defence lawyers in a pre-trial filing that Gray was always "banging around", referring to a previous arrest in which he allegedly tried to kick windows out of a police car. Earlier in the trail prosecutor Michael Schatzow said Mr Porter could have saved his life by calling for medical help and it is his duty to keep prisoners safe. "The defendant alone is on trial for what he did, or more importantly, what he did not do," said Mr Schatzow. Saad Dawabsha, 32, died in an Israeli hospital where he was being treated for second-degree burns to most of his body. His son Ali, 18 months, died in the attack in the village of Duma in the occupied West Bank on 31 July. His mother and his four-year-old brother remain in critical condition. Hundreds of people turned out as Saad Dawabsha was buried in Duma on Saturday. In last week's attack the family's small home was firebombed in the night, and daubed with slogans in Hebrew, including the word "revenge". Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the attack an act of terrorism. Israel has vowed to catch the arsonists. Palestinian officials said they held Israel "fully responsible". The incident may have been a so-called "price tag" attack. Such attacks usually involve acts of vandalism or arson by Jewish extremists as retribution for actions taken by the Israeli government against Jewish settlements or unauthorised outposts in the West Bank, or for violence by Palestinians. Hossam Badran, spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas, said on Saturday that nothing would stop the "murderous settler attacks". "Our people in the West Bank have only one choice: that of open and comprehensive confrontation against the occupation," he wrote in a message posted on Facebook. The UN's Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, called for the perpetrators to be brought swiftly to justice. "Political, community and religious leaders on all sides should work together and not allow extremists to escalate the situation and take control of the political agenda," he said in a statement. Palestinians regard settlements as a major obstacle to building a sought-after state in contiguous territory in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Torfaen council's education department was put under supervision in February 2013 by education watchdog Estyn. This was due to a lack of progress following an inspection in 2011 where serious failings were highlighted and a rating of unsatisfactory was given. Subsequent checks were made and the necessary steps were taken to allow measures to be lifted on Friday. When it was subjected to those conditions in 2013, Torfaen became the sixth Welsh council to be placed in special measures. It followed Anglesey, Blaenau Gwent, Pembrokeshire, Monmouthshire and Merthyr Tydfil. Of these, only Merthyr Tydfil remains in special measures. Education Minister Huw Lewis said: "I am heartened at the good progress we are seeing with local authorities being removed from special measures and I hope this will provide a springboard for further success in the future." In a letter to Torfaen's chief executive Alison Ward, Clive Phillips, an assistant director at Estyn, said inspectors looked at seven recommendations made from inspections in 2011 and 2013. These said the council needed to raise standards in secondary schools and do more for school leavers who do not go on to find jobs or training. The authority also came in for criticism for standards at GCSE level. A report said over half of schools were in the bottom quarter for performance in the core subjects of English or Welsh, maths and science. No school was above average on the proportion of pupils achieving the equivalent of five GCSEs at grade A* to C. After it was placed in special measures, the Welsh government ordered the creation of a recovery board to support and scrutinise the council as it sought to rectify the problems. Mr Phillips's letter said the council, elected members and the recovery board had "worked well together" to improve these areas. It added: "As a result, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales considers that the authority no longer requires special measures and is removing it from further follow-up activity." Torfaen council's executive member for education David Yeowell said: "We are delighted with this news that reflects well on the combined efforts of colleagues both in our schools and the education service."

Universal Engineering opened a new factory last year in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf which has 81 workers. It followed £600,000 of a planned £2m investment from the Welsh government with hopes of expansion and another 200 jobs. The company also has a plant in Weymouth, Dorset, with 43 workers. It blamed declining investment in the oil and gas industry. It is understood workers were told to go home and return next Tuesday, to hear of developments. The company said at the moment staff are only at risk of redundancy and a decision would be taken once the administrator was appointed. It insisted the £600,000 paid in grant funding by the Welsh government was not at risk. The Welsh government called it "very disappointing news". "We will work closely with the company to try to find a buyer for the site and offer support to the employees to find new work," a spokesman added. Chairman James Gaggero met with staff in Weymouth to tell them the bad news and said the company would work with the administrators to try to find a solution. "It's awful to have to accept that circumstances have conspired to make this business vulnerable to this situation," he said. The company was set up in 1959 and taken over in 2009. Henry Game, the chief executive of parent company Bland Group UK, added: "We deeply regret having to take this decision. We appreciate that this will be a very difficult time for all employees and we will try to provide as much information and support as we can during this process." It had been looking to expand into the defence and aerospace sectors and take on 200 workers. The new plant in Llantrisant was only officially opened four months ago with Economy Minister Edwina Hart saying it was "exactly the type of advanced manufacturing investment we want to attract". Universal said it had received a £600,000 first stage of Welsh government money in March 2015 on condition of a specified number of staff being hired and was at "pains to stress" the money was safe. "This is the only grant that Universal Engineering has been received and it is not at risk," said a spokesman. "The directors acknowledge the extensive support from the Welsh government at all levels and thank them for all they have done to support the establishment of the site in Llantrisant." The Welsh government added: "We are in discussions with the company about recovering the finance we provided them to create jobs." Early results confirmed the exit polls, with his centre-right VVD Party on course for 31 out of 150 seats. Three parties are projected to win 19 seats each: Geert Wilders' anti-immigration Freedom Party (PVV), the Christian Democrats and D66. Mr Wilders' party had been leading in opinion polls but support for the party appeared to slip in recent days. With 10.9% of votes counted early on Thursday, the VVD had polled 17.8%. Voter participation in the general election was high; the 81% turnout was the highest for 30 years. Analysts say a high turnout may have benefited pro-EU and liberal parties. "Today was a celebration of democracy," Mr Rutte said, adding that the Netherlands had said no to the "wrong kind of populism". Although the VVD had lost several seats since the last election, many had expected the party to lose much more ground to the Freedom Party. Many had been watching the vote in the Netherlands closely, as an indication for how populist parties may fare in other elections in EU countries. France goes to the polls next month to elect a new president, while Germany is due to hold a general election in September. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called Mr Rutte to congratulate him, while Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel has also tweeted his congratulations. Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament until earlier this year, said he was "relieved" Mr Wilders' party had lost. "We must continue to fight for an open and free Europe!" he added on Twitter (in German). However, Mr Wilders warned that Mr Rutte "has not seen the last of me". He previously said that the "patriotic revolution" would continue to take place, and "the genie will not go back into the bottle". Pharrell Williams' song Happy pumped out across a conference hall converted to host the victorious VVD. "Of course he'll still be prime minister," a loyal party member with black rimmed glasses told us. "He's the best man for the job." Entry to the gathering was invitation only. Most of the foreign press were contained in a side room. The champagne was flowing but there wasn't much fizz. The mild-mannered, measured Mark Rutte appears to have been given a mandate. He will say he stopped the "dominos of populism" from falling, but to do that he shifted himself to occupy the populists' territory, talking tough on immigration and integration. As parliamentary seats are allocated in exact proportion to a party's vote share, the VVD party will need to go into coalition with other parties. The VVD had ruled out a coalition with the Freedom Party - but not the other two runners-up, the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) party, and the Democrats 66 (D66) party, which are both pro-EU. The CDA said it was delighted with its election result and looked forward to helping form a coalition. The VVD will need at least three other parties before it can secure a majority. Hence, the other smaller parties will be seen as potential power-brokers. Exit polls suggest the Green-Left party performed strongly, winning a total of 16 seats, compared to four in the last parliament. Meanwhile, the Socialist Party took 14 seats, while the VVD's previous coalition partner, the Labour Party, saw its number of seats plunge from 38 to nine. Analysts said it appeared to have been punished for its role in the coalition government, where it helped pass austerity measures. Party leader Lodewijk Asscher called it "a bitter evening for labour - unbelievably disappointing". "Rebuilding the party begins today," he said. Nathan Gill has criticised his party's general election campaign pledge to ban full face veils worn by Muslim women. He said the move to announce it early in the campaign meant the party could not talk about anything else. Mr Gill told BBC Wales, government should not dictate what "you can and can't wear" and said he did not want to associate himself with the campaign. UKIP said the veil was an "instrument of oppression", adding it sought to "lift the veil" on "that oppression" and it had been banned in other countries. "If we are to bring communities together, we must begin by removing the implements of oppression and division," a party spokesman said. UKIP saw its UK-wide vote share fall by 10.8% to 1.8% at the 2017 general election. It won no seats and leader Paul Nuttall resigned the day after. At the launch of the party's general election manifesto, which took place in the days after the Manchester terror attack, former leader Mr Nuttall said radical Islam was a "cancer that needs to be cut out". Mr Gill said: "I don't want our party's raison d'etre to become anti-Islam. "Ultimately we all live on a very small island. We've all got to get on. "It's pointless us talking about very emotive words like cancers and things like that, when we should be talking about harmonisation and us getting on together as a people. "My perception that the amount of people who have a problem with Islam, or Muslim immigration or things like that, must be 1% of the population." Criticising the fact that UKIP's campaign was "kicked off" by the announcement of a face veil ban, Mr Gill said: "It meant that we couldn't talk about anything else because that was always going to be brought up by the media and by the opposition. "We should have kicked the campaign off with a positive vision of a post-Brexit Britain." Mr Gill, who sits as an independent AM in the assembly and led UKIP Wales during the EU referendum campaign, said: "I don't want government dictating to us, to the level of what you can and can't wear, and to the level of how you worship, or all these different things. "I didn't do anything during the general election campaign - I didn't really want to be associated with it." Mr Gill also said a claim by Neil Hamilton, assembly UKIP group leader, that there was no problem with Islamophobia in Britain was "nonsense". "Some people just enjoy media attention. I never sought that," he said. "There's no point making silly claims and there's no point saying things that you don't really fully understand or that you've not fully researched. "I just feel that we don't have to tout ourselves in front of the media saying outrageous things." Fans invaded the pitch at Hampden after Hibs beat Rangers 3-2 on 21 May. Officers have already made 40 arrests over the disorder - most recently two men aged 18 and 27 who were arrested last week. Anyone with information about the identities of those pictured is asked to contact the police. Members of the public can send information to a dedicated email address - Scottishcupfinalpitchinvasion@scotland.pnn.police.uk. Thousands of Hibs fans jumped the barriers at the final whistle after their team won its first Scottish Cup Final in 114 years. A number of Rangers fans also came on to the pitch. The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour for Hibs players. Annette Henderson was a learning support worker at Maes Ebbw School when the incident happened in January 2016. The Education Workforce Council hearing in Cardiff found allegations of unacceptable professional conduct against her proven. She was issued with a reprimand but has not been struck off from teaching. The disciplinary panel heard the girl - who was known as "Pupil A" and has learning difficulties - was tied to the chair with the sleeves of a hooded top in a double knot after allegedly hitting another pupil. Mrs Henderson, from Cwmbran, Torfaen, then left the classroom leaving another member of staff to untie her. She was reported to the deputy head teacher and an investigation was launched at the school. Mrs Henderson, who had been working at the school for 16 years, admitted tying up the pupil but denied using a double knot or that her behaviour amounted to unacceptable professional conduct. She told the hearing: "I would never do anything to harm any child. "I know it looks bad but it wasn't done maliciously, it wasn't done as a restraint but from a safety point of view." Mrs Henderson was found to have breached school rules on child protection and restraining pupils at the hearing. The Department for Work and Pensions said online applications meant its buildings were used less. The PCS Union, which represents job centre workers, said it was "outraged" by the closures. But jobcentres in Glasgow's Castlemilk and in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, which were due to shut, have won a reprieve following local campaigns. The DWP said its plans reflected the fact that eight out of 10 claims for Jobseeker's Allowance and 99% of applications for the Universal Credit full service were now made online. But the SNP condemned the "callous" plans saying Glasgow had been targeted disproportionately by cuts. SNP MP Chris Stephens, who has been campaigning against the closures, said: "The UK government is shamefully yet to publish an equality impact assessment on those with disabilities and those with caring responsibilities. "This is a brutal attack on the poorest and most vulnerable in our society as well public sector staff in the Department for Work and Pensions." Some smaller jobcentres will be merged with larger ones under the proposals while others will be co-located with local government premises. The department first announced closure plans at the turn of the year and has now confirmed 21 of its 119 offices in Scotland will close, including 10 jobcentres. Employment Minister Damian Hinds said: "We will always make sure that people have the support they need to get into and progress within work. "These changes reflect the fact that more people access their benefits online, resulting in many of our buildings being under-used. "We're merging some offices and locating other jobcentres with local authorities to make sure that the welfare state and our employment support works for those who need it and those who pay for it." But Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken said she was "deeply disappointed" by the decision and that it "flies in the face" of what the DWP was told by the communities and individuals across Glasgow. Ms Aitken said: "What I can promise people in Bridgeton, in Parkhead, in Easterhouse and in Maryhill, Anniesland and Langside is that the city government will do everything it can to retain crucial services for jobs and skills in their neighbourhood." Lynn Henderson, PCS national officer, said: "While we welcome the handful of decisions not to close sites, especially the job centres in Castlemilk and Cambuslang, it is clear that DWP intends to force through the vast majority putting our members' jobs at risk and devastating the job centre network and services we provide. "This Tory government is abandoning unemployed, sick and disabled people, making it harder for them to access the service they need, and putting jobcentre jobs at risk. "We will continue to oppose these plans in every way we can." More than 70 jobcentres are to be closed across the UK, affecting up to 750 jobs. The DWP said it would be able to offer a more efficient service, while delivering good value for the taxpayer and saving more than £140m a year for the next 10 years. Its original proposals, which were unveiled in December, were for eight of the 16 Jobcentre Plus offices in the Glasgow area to be closed. In April, a report from the Scottish Affairs Committee (SAC) said the plans "showed a lack of clear planning". The 34-year-old excelled as an amateur before winning IBF inter-continental titles after turning professional. O'Kane's last fight was a defeat on points to Tureano Johnson in a final world title eliminator last year. "After listening to my family and also my body, I have decided it's time I hang them up," he said on Monday. O'Kane's gold medal was won in Delhi with the Northern Ireland team captain securing a 16-4 victory over England's Anthony Ogogo in the final. "I am retiring from the sport I have loved and taken part in since being a teenager," he added. "After a much-needed rest from the Johnson fight I picked up an injury to my neck while getting ready to do it all again. "It has been a very hard decision to make and one I have fought with but one that ultimately I feel is the best one to make."

In keeping with the recognition of World Cup achievement, the England team were also named Team of the Year and Portugal striker Eusebio claimed the Overseas Personality award. Moore went on to make 108 caps for his country. BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2015 is broadcast live from Belfast on Sunday, 20 December from 19:00 GMT on BBC One.

In the first attack, two Israelis were stabbed to death by a Palestinian man at the entrance of a shop that serves as a synagogue in the city of Tel Aviv. Later, a third Israeli, a Jewish American and a Palestinian were killed in an attack near a Jewish settlement. A wave of violence over the past two months has claimed the lives of 15 Israelis and dozens of Palestinians. Many of the Palestinian fatalities were knife-wielding attackers of Israelis, shot by their victims or security forces. Others have been killed in clashes with troops in the West Bank or in cross-border violence in Gaza. Thursday's first attack took place in a busy commercial building on Ben Tzvi road in southern Tel Aviv. Witness Shimon Vaknin told the Jerusalem Post newspaper that the afternoon prayer service had just begun at the shop when a man attacked a number of worshippers. Other worshippers then pushed the attacker outside the shop and barricaded the door shut, he said. One of the victims, a man in his 20s, was declared dead at the scene by the Magen David Adom ambulance service. The second was rushed to Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. The assailant, who security officials said was a 36-year-old man from the West Bank village of Dura, was reportedly lightly wounded and is in custody. The militant Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas posted a tweet praising "the heroic attack in Tel Aviv", adding: "We ask the fighters to keep doing so." Hours later, an attacker in a car opened fire at a busy junction and then crashed into a group of pedestrians, killing three people and injuring several others, the Israeli military said. Two of the dead were identified as Jewish - an 18-year-old American tourist and a 50-year-old Israeli. The third was a Palestinian. The military said the assailant was apprehended and was being questioned, while security forces were searching the area for possible accomplices. The Tel Aviv attack was the first by a Palestinian on Israelis since Friday, when a rabbi and his son were shot dead south of the West Bank city of Hebron, according to the Haaretz newspaper. The last attack in central Israel, it reports, was two-and-a-half weeks ago, when four people were stabbed and wounded in Rishon Lezion and Netanya. The surge in violence began in September when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over, amid rumours that Israel planned to relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex. Israel has repeatedly denied such claims. It has launched an urgent appeal for homes for the animals after it said it had no room in its rescue centres for any more. There are currently about 640 horses in RSPCA care in England and Wales. In Wales alone the charity dealt with 2,166 complaints about the animals last year. The most came from Swansea (289) and Cardiff (229), while 203 came from Carmarthenshire. The RSPCA said the main reasons for horses being taken into its care were injuries, starvation, untreated wounds and irresponsible ownership. RSPCA Cymru's Steve Carter said: "The situation in Wales remains critical and the number of equines dealt with by RSPCA officers, that have been neglected and abused, is worrying. "The numbers of calls we are receiving remain a strain but the work that is being done by the RSPCA is paying off thanks to a lot of hard work being put in." An Ipsos MRBI opinion poll for The Irish Times suggests the odds of a hung Dáil (parliament) are increasing. The survey indicates a drop in support for Labour and Sinn Féin, with Fianna Fáil and Independents improving their position. The figures would mean an indecisive result if it was replicated on polling day. The poll shows no change in Fine Gael support since the election campaign began and a drop in Labour Party support to just 6%. Fianna Fáil has moved up two percentage points to 23%, Sinn Féin is down four points to 15%, according to the poll. There appear to be significant gains for independents and smaller parties, who are up three points to 28%. With four days campaigning to go, RTE reports that there is no sign of momentum for the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister), Enda Kenny. It adds that Labour will be "deeply worried at a fall-off in party support at this stage". For Fianna Fáil, the figures will confirm what the party described on Sunday as an increasingly positive response on the doorsteps. The Irish broadcaster suggests that Sinn Féin will be disappointed by a major slide in the numbers backing the party. The 55-year-old South African left his role as Sri Lanka coach in 2014 to take charge at The Oval. In 2015, he led Surrey to promotion from County Championship Division Two and to the final of the One-Day Cup, where they lost to Gloucestershire. "He has played an integral role in the progress that we have achieved," said director of cricket Alec Stewart. "He has worked tirelessly with the players and his efforts can be seen in their individual performances and the team's results, culminating in promotion back to the First Division. "It was a very tough decision for Graham to leave Surrey but we understand that the opportunity to go back and coach at international level with Sri Lanka was too good to turn down. "Despite the timing of his decision, we wish Graham all the best and we will immediately start our search for a new head coach." Ford, who has also worked for Kent and South Africa, was shortlisted for the England coach's job in 2009, with that role eventually going to Andy Flower. The FTSE 100 closed up by 14 points or nearly 0.2% at 7,248.10. HSBC reported a 19% fall in first-quarter profits, but the drop was not as big as expected, and its shares ended 2.8% higher. Fashion retailer Next saw the biggest decline, finishing 5.1% lower after it reported falling sales. Shares in IAG had gained 2.97% by the end of trading, while TUI had risen by 2.92.%. Shares in Shell were up nearly 0.5% after it reported a sharp rise in first-quarter profits, helped by higher oil prices. Elsewhere though falling commodity prices hit shares in mining companies. On the FTSE 250 copper miner KAZ Minerals ended as the worst performer, down 10%. Vedanta Resources dropped by 6.9%, and gold miner Hochschild Mining lost 3.8%. The UK's fourth-largest supermarket chain, Morrisons, reported another quarter of healthy sales growth, but after a bright start to trading the shares fell back and finished 1.9% lower. But the worst performing shares in the FTSE 100 were those of fashion retailer Next. Rival Marks and Spencer also saw its shares shed 2.5%. On the FTSE 250, shares in Ladbrokes Coral were down by 4.3% at the close after it reported a 2% drop in UK net revenues at its betting shops. The bookmaker said tougher trading on the High Street had led to a 7% fall in bets made over the counter, although this had been offset to some extent by an increase in revenues from machines in its shops. Revenues from online betting jumped 22%, helping total group revenue to rise 5%. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.4% against the dollar at $1.2921, but fell 0.4% against the euro to 1.1774 euros. The price of a barrel of the benchmark Brent Crude oil fell to its lowest level since November - it was down 3.8% at $48.85. Brent crude prices tumbled 2.8% to $49.13. Earlier the Kremlin said no decision had been made on whether Russia would extend oil cuts into the second half of 2017. Using computers to trawl through vast amounts of medical data speeds up the diagnosis process. The system will help assess individual tumours and suggest which drug should be used to target them. Doctors have welcomed the new computer which will learn from each case it examines. "When you are dealing with cancer, it is always a race," said Dr Lukas Wartman, assistant director of cancer genomics at the McDonnell Genome Institute at Washington University in St. Louis, one of those signed up to use the Watson system. "As a cancer patient myself, I know how important genomic information can be. "Unfortunately, translating cancer-sequencing results into potential treatment options often takes weeks with a team of experts to study just one patient's tumour and provide results to guide treatment decisions. Watson appears to help dramatically reduce that timeline," he explained. Most people currently diagnosed with cancer will receive surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatment. But as genetic sequencing becomes increasingly accessible and affordable, some patients are starting to benefit from treatments that target their specific cancer-causing genetic mutations. However the process is very time-consuming - a single patient's genome represents more than 100 gigabytes of data - and this needs to be combined with other medical records, journal studies and information about clinical trials. What would take a clinician weeks to analyse can be completed by Watson in only a few minutes. "The technology that we're applying to this challenge brings the power of cognitive computing to bear on one of the most urgent and pressing issues of our time - the fight against cancer - in a way that has never before been possible," explained Steve Harvey, vice president of IBM Watson Health. According to Mr Harvey, Watson "will look for actionable targets", although he acknowledged that, "when institutions do genetic sequencing, only about half the cases come back with something actionable". Sometimes it is impossible to identify the main mutation and, in other cases, no targeted therapy currently exists. Those collaborating with IBM include the Cleveland Clinic, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Centre in Omaha and the Yale Cancer Centre. Eleven others will join the programme by the end of 2015 and each will pay an undisclosed subscription fee to IBM. The link-up is part of an increasingly close relationship between the medical community and technology corporations. Apple revealed this week that it plans to develop apps for the iPhone that will allow users to take DNA tests which may reveal which diseases and health conditions they are likely to develop It also recently teamed up with IBM to allow the software that helps gather health data from iPhones to be used by Watson. IBM is convinced that Watson can "help change the face of healthcare" but it has even bigger ambitions for its cognitive computing platform. Speaking at an IBM event this week, the firm's chief executive Ginni Rometty made a bold prediction for the technology, saying: "in the future, every decision mankind makes, every decision, is going to be informed by a cognitive system like Watson and, as a result, our lives in this world are going to be better for it." John Edwards, 61, was buried on Friday in Halifax and resurfaced on Monday. He said he had "brought words of light from the grave" in a bid to reduce the number of addicts' funerals he has to attend. The Walking Free charity founder works with suicidal addicts and their families. Mr Edwards streamed his incarceration live via a smartphone and also was in contact on social media. He said he had talked to "people all over the world". He thanked his supporters and said he felt a bit "woozy" after his time confined to the 8ft long, 3.5ft high and 4ft wide (2.4m x 1m x 1.3m) coffin. Mr Edwards said he was "looking forward to using a toilet and having a shower". During his stay he received food and water through a pipe and a second pipe was connected to a caravan toilet. He said he had been buried to help give hope to people suffering addiction. "It's an extreme thing to do, but so is suicide and drug addiction," he said before been buried. "But extreme times demand extreme measures." 29 September 2015 Last updated at 11:52 BST Footage from a police dashboard camera shows Alexander Blood, 21, swerving between lanes of the southbound M6 as officers pursue him. The 23 May incident lasted 25 minutes before Blood crashed into a central reservation, writing off his partner's car. He had earlier fled after attacking his partner in the bedroom of a Blackpool hotel. Blood, of Yardley, Birmingham, admitted assault, drink-driving and aggravated vehicle-taking at Preston Crown Court. He was jailed for nine months and received a 12-month driving ban, after which he must complete a fresh extended test before he is allowed back on the road. The woman was driving a Ford Focus which was involved in a collision at about 12:50 on the A82 at Lochend, near Inverness. Three people in a Land Rover Discovery were not injured. Earlier, three people were taken to hospital after a two-vehicle crash on the A9 at the Slochd Summit. Police said the casualties were not thought to have life-threatening injuries. They were taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness for treatment. The collision involved a Peugeot van and a Renault Scenic and the A9 was closed for several hours after the crash at about 09:30, before it was later fully reopened. The A82 remains closed around the scene of the crash. The incidents came amid snow falls and heavy rain showers. Murray, 29, was playing for the first time since his fourth-round defeat at the Australian Open last month. Jaziri, ranked 51st in the world, broke Murray's serve early on but the top seed recovered to win 6-4 6-1. Britain's Dan Evans also reached the second round with a 6-2 6-3 victory over Germany's Dustin Brown. Murray will face Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who won their last meeting at Indian Wells in 2012, on Wednesday, while Evans takes on French fourth seed Gael Monfils. Second seed Stan Wawrinka made an early exit with a shock 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 defeat by Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina. "I was not good enough," Wawrinka told the ATP. "I think I started well, but it was a tough match, missing a little bit something to push a little bit more to be a little bit more active. I think after coming back after one month out, I had to recover from the (right knee) injury." Fifth seed Tomas Berdych led 6-3 2-1 when fellow Czech Lukas Rosol retired with a knee injury. Despite a first-serve percentage of just 40%, Murray was satisfied with his first match back, saying: "I was a little bit uneasy, I've never hit with him or played against him before. "It took a little bit of time to get used to his game." The Scot had been laid low with a bout of shingles following the Australian Open, and revealed that it was his mother-in-law, Leonore Sears, who diagnosed the problem. "I had a little bit of a rash from my bum round to my stomach," said Murray. "It wasn't terrible. Normally if you have a little bit of a rash and you scratch it it feels better. With that it was really, really painful. "I didn't think much of it at the beginning, but it was actually my wife's mum (who diagnosed it). "We were having dinner and I said 'this is really irritating me' and she was like 'pull your pants down and show me, it might be shingles' and I was like 'OK'. "And then the next day I got the doctor and she was right." The decision includes email accounts associated with Google Apps for Education (GAE). This initiative provides teachers and students with access to free apps and storage, as well as customised @schoolname.edu email addresses. The move follows reports the scans might have breached a US privacy law. Google highlighted its use of such scans when it updated its terms and conditions last month. "Our automated systems analyse your content (including emails) to provide you personally-relevant product features, such as customised search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored," the terms read. However, the Education Week website said this data-mining activity might place the firm in breach of the US Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The firm had already been sued over the matter in California by two students who said they had been required to use Gmail by their university, it added. The UK's largest teachers' union greeted the change in policy. "Commercialisation seeps into all corners of children's lives," said Christine Blower, general secretary, of the NUT. "The targeting of children with advertising ranging from fast food to designer clothes is relentlessly pursued by commercial companies. This is a welcome move." More than 30 million students, teachers and administrators use GAE, Google says. The University of Westminster, the University of St Andrews and Southampton's Oakwood Junior School are among its UK customers. Other clients include Nigeria's Ladoke Akintola University of Technology and the American University in Cairo. Google had pledged not to show adverts within GAE's own apps, but the scans could have been used to tailor what appeared when users visited a website using the firm's AdSense platform - although the firm has indicated it never did this. "We've permanently removed all ads scanning in Gmail for Apps for Education, which means Google cannot collect or use student data in Apps for Education services for advertising purposes," wrote Google for Education director Bram Bout on a company blog. The change is also promised for users who signed up to Gmail as part of the service while at school or university, but have now moved on. In addition, Mr Bout said, it would also be rolled out to current and legacy users of Google's Apps for Government and Apps for Business services. However, other Gmail users will still have their accounts scanned. "It is certainly telling that a company like Google, which is so reliant on data driven advertising, is taking steps to act on people's concerns about their privacy," said Emma Carr, deputy director of the campaign group Big Brother Watch. "Scanning emails is clearly intrusive, so any step to protect children is a positive one. However, Google could certainly go further by introducing the same controls for users of all ages and for all of its services." The state-run Aerocaribbean aircraft had been flying from the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba to Havana. The passengers included 28 foreigners. The other 33 passengers and seven crew members were all Cuban. There is no word on the cause of the crash. However, both the data and voice flight recorders have now been located, investigators say. "The black box and the voice recorder of the crashed plane... were found, so the investigation that is under way will have the basic elements to work with," Rolando Diaz, a prosecutor, told local media. The French-built ATR twin turboprop went down late on Thursday local time in mountains near the town of Guasimal in Santi Spiritus province. Many of the 61 passengers it was carrying are believed to have been tourists. A Civil Aviation Authority statement said the foreigners on the passenger list included nine Argentines, seven Mexicans, three Dutch citizens, two Germans, two Austrians, a French citizen, an Italian, a Spaniard, a Venezuelan and a Japanese citizen. The twice-weekly flight 883 had originated in Port-au-Prince in Haiti and stopped over in Santiago. The pilot reported an emergency before contact was lost. Emergency crews and local residents had to use bulldozers to cut through thick vegetation to reach the crash scene, Cuban media say. They pulled bodies from the wreckage but found no-one alive. One eyewitness described the crash site as "a ball of flame in the middle of the mountain". It is not clear if bad weather was a factor in the crash. A tropical storm warning had been issued in Santiago de Cuba province where the plane took off. One local resident said it was clear the plane was in difficulties before the crash. "We saw it when it already had problems and was flying low," Miguel Garcia, a 68-year-old farmer, told the Agence France-Press news agency. "At the moment, aviation and regional authorities are gathering the facts and details and have created a commission to investigate such a regrettable accident," the Civil Aviation Authority statement said. News agencies report that the crash is the deadliest in Cuba since 3 September 1989 when a Soviet-built Ilyushin-62 heading for Milan crashed after take-off from Havana killing all 126 people on board and 40 on the ground. The last passenger plane to crash on the island was an Antonov-2 which went down in Santa Clara province in March 2002, killing all 16 people on board. The beak, made of medical-grade titanium, replaces the loggerhead turtle's jaws, half of which were sheared off in the accident. Detailed scans of the injured creature's head were used to generate the design of the prosthetic beak. If the prosthetic is not rejected by the turtle, the animal will be returned to the sea shortly. The 45kg (99lb) creature was taken to the sea turtle Research, Rescue and Rehabilitation centre at Pamukkale University in Denizli, Turkey soon after being found badly injured at sea. Initially staff at the centre nursed it back to health by feeding it by hand but realised another solution was needed if the turtle was ever going to be able to fend for itself. The rehabilitation centre contacted Turkish company BTech Innovation, known for custom-making medical prosthetics and implants for humans, to see if it could help. BTech used CT scans taken by vets to produce a design that fitted perfectly to the injury site and restored the turtle's ability to feed. The turtle, named Akut-3, is currently convalescing at the recovery centre to ensure that it has adapted to its metal jaw. The animal is not the only reptile to have benefitted from 3D printing recently. In March, a tortoise in Denver was made a customised prosthetic plastic shell by a student at Colorado Technical University, after her original one had deteriorated due to a poor diet. The 30-year old breaststroke specialist has won a medal at three consecutive Paralympic Games, having made her debut in Athens in 2004 where she won silver. Johnson has taken the decision after a hernia operation put her behind schedule with training. "My team and I have been trying to play catch up but we know my body and where I need to be and unfortunately the trials have come too soon," she said. "Sport has taught me many life lessons and transferable skills, two of the most important being that 'timing is everything' and 'everything happens for a reason'. It is with these at the forefront of my mind that I make this announcement today. "In December, I underwent surgery for a hernia repair and unfortunately I ended up being out of training for longer than I had envisaged which resulted in me missing a large portion of the crucial winter workload." Johnson won gold in the 100m breaststroke in the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008. At London 2012, she recorded a season's best time of 1:40.90 to take the bronze medal in the 100m backstroke (SB6). "Whilst this presents a big change in my life and the direction that this year will take for me, I can't be sad," Johnson said. "I've been extremely privileged to be able to do something that I love and compete at the highest level for almost 20 years. "My involvement in swimming has given me so much and the experiences it has provided me with have been influential in shaping me into the person that I am today. "I am so grateful for everything that the sport has given me and the opportunities that I have had." Johnson says she is looking forward to devoting more of her time to being a member of the board of Disability Sport Wales. Britain's most-capped player, the 6ft 8in London-born forward made his 100th and final appearance against New Zealand in 2015. "Words can't begin to describe my passion for representing my country time and again," said the 36-year-old. Sullivan will continue to play in the British Basketball League, having recently agreed a two-year contract with the Leicester Riders. British NBA ace Luol Deng, who played alongside Sullivan at the 2012 Games, paid tribute to his former team-mate. "British Basketball is going to miss him and so will his team-mates who have learned a lot from him on and off the court," said the Los Angeles Lakers star. Sullivan represented Britain at three EuroBasket competitions in 2009, 2011 and 2013. He was also part of the England team that won a bronze medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. He then captained the British team at the London Olympics, but they were eliminated at the group stage and failed to qualify for Rio 2016. GB begin their EuroBasket 2017 qualifiers with a trip to Hungary on 31 August. Media playback is not supported on this device Wiggins and the cycling pursuit team set a world record to beat Australia and put GB third in the medal table. That followed two golds for Britain's rowers. Heather Stanning and Helen Glover won the pairs, while Alex Gregory, George Nash, Constantine Louloudis and Mohamed Sbihi took the men's four. Britain also claimed silvers in the dressage, trampolining and swimming. British Olympic Association chief Bill Sweeney told BBC Sport that Team GB were on track to realise their goal of at least 48 medals in Rio. "We are quite happy where we sit, but it is very much feet on the ground," he said. "There is a real breadth of talent there now, right across a breadth of sports, and that is really satisfying." It was another exhilarating night in the pool. Meanwhile, the heptathlon is set for a thrilling climax. Defending champion Jessica Ennis-Hill narrowly leads after a dramatic opening day in which team-mate Katarina Johnson-Thompson broke the British high jump record but was fourth overnight. Media playback is not supported on this device Wiggins now has five golds, one silver and two bronzes to surpass fellow cyclist Sir Chris Hoy's tally of seven. The 36-year-old cyclist combined with Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Steven Burke to complete the 4km race in three minutes 50.265 seconds to secure Britain's seventh gold of the Games. "When you have guys like that it makes your life easier," said Wiggins. On a day of ups and downs, 25-year-old Bryony Page became the first British woman to win an Olympic medal in trampolining. The dressage team also won silver, with Spencer Wilton, Fiona Bigwood, Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin beaten by world champions Germany. Windsurfer Nick Dempsey, meanwhile, is guaranteed a second successive Olympic silver medal. Elsewhere, defending champion Andy Murray reached the men's tennis semi-finals but needed a final-set tie-break to scrape past American Steve Johnson. Murray and Heather Watson were knocked out of the mixed doubles, while Spain's Rafael Nadal - a potential final opponent for the Scot in the singles - clinched the men's doubles title with Marc Lopez. Ennis-Hill has just a 72-point advantage on Belgium's Nafissatou Thiam in second, with Johnson-Thompson only 100 points adrift. Johnson-Thompson cleared 1.98m - a new British high jump record - to top the leaderboard after two events in the heptathlon, but dropped to sixth after a disappointing shot put. Ennis-Hill threw a below-best 13.86m, while Johnson-Thompson could only manage 11.68m before winning the 200m ahead of her compatriot. Jo Pavey, 42, finished 15th in the women's 10,000m as Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana smashed the world record by 14 seconds. In shooting, Amber Hill, 18, went out of the women's skeet in the semi-finals. Media playback is not supported on this device World champions Glover and Stanning, who won Britain's first gold of the London Games, led from the start and finished 1.2 seconds clear of New Zealand in a time of seven minutes 18.29 seconds. The pair are unbeaten in 39 races, a run that stretches back five years. Glover said: "The pressure was immense. London was a home Games and there was nothing more special but this is defending a title - it means so much." In the men's four, Sbihi, Nash, Louloudis and London 2012 winner Gregory beat Australia in a time of five minutes 58.61 seconds. It was Britain's fifth consecutive Olympic title in the event after wins in Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London. Brothers Gary and Paul O'Donovan won rowing silver in the lightweight men's double sculls to give Ireland their first medal of the Games. Media playback is not supported on this device In contrast to the packed stands and noisy atmosphere that greeted day one of track and field at London 2012, crowds at the Estadio Olimpico were thin. Organisers say 58% of available tickets were sold for day one of the athletics. "We're not disappointed. Without heroes and local athletes, the public take longer to fall in love with track and field," said Rio spokesman Mario Andrada. Ethiopian star Ayana obliterated the 10,000m world record in the opening track event of the Olympics. She took nearly 14 seconds off the previous mark with her time of 29 minutes 17.45 seconds - beating the 29:31.78 set by China's Wang Junxia in 1993. Pavey, the first British track athlete to compete in a fifth Olympic Games, said: "I found it tough out there. I'm so honoured to have competed at my fifth Olympics, but in reality I am getting old." Britain's Michael Rimmer qualified for the 800m semi-finals, behind defending champion David Rudisha, who won their heat in 1:45.09. World, European and Olympic champion Greg Rutherford survived a scare to qualify in 10th of 12 for the long jump final. After two foul jumps, he leapt to 7.90m - enough to reach the final by just five centimetres - while leading rivals American Mike Hartfield, China's Xinglong Gao and Sweden's Michel Torneus bowed out. "Going into the final round, I definitely wasn't as stressed as my family were at home," said a relaxed-sounding Rutherford.

Models will need to provide a doctor's certificate attesting to their overall physical health, with special regard to their body mass index (BMI) - a measure of weight in relation to height. The health ministry says the aim is to fight eating disorders and inaccessible ideals of beauty. Digitally altered photos will also have to be labelled from 1 October. Images where a model's appearance has been manipulated will need to be marked photographie retouchée (English: retouched photograph). A previous version of the bill had suggested a minimum BMI for models, prompting protests from modelling agencies in France. But the final version, backed by MPs 2015, allows doctors to decide whether a model is too thin by taking into account their weight, age, and body shape. Employers breaking the law could face fines of up to 75,000 euros (£63,500; $82,000) and up to six months in jail. "Exposing young people to normative and unrealistic images of bodies leads to a sense of self-depreciation and poor self-esteem that can impact health-related behaviour," said France's Minister of Social Affairs and Health, Marisol Touraine, in a statement on Friday, French media report. France is not the first country to legislate on underweight models - Italy, Spain and Israel have all done so. Anorexia affects between 30,000 to 40,000 people in France, 90% of whom are women. Media playback is not supported on this device Brazil's Soares, 33, twice lost his serve as Canada's Nestor, 43, and Czech Stepanek, 37, took the opening set. Murray, 29, and Soares began to exert more pressure and broke in the fifth game on the way to the second set. The pair then served out for the win at the second attempt in the decider. Murray was serving for victory at 5-4 up in the third, but failed to hold serve as he was broken for the first time in the match as Nestor and Stepanek gave themselves hope. But Murray and Soares immediately broke back before the latter comfortably held on to his serve to complete victory. The livewire Murray's volleying and serving were a major part of the success, as the Scot - whose brother Andy plays in the men's singles final on Sunday - added the title to his mixed doubles win with Jelena Jankovic at Wimbledon in 2007. Andy Murray turned up for the post-match trophy ceremony and an emotional Jamie said: "Andy, you should be in bed, not here taking photos." Having reached the Wimbledon and US Open finals with John Peers in 2015, Jamie Murray joined up with Soares in an attempt to go one better. However, it seemed the duo's first major together would end with a similar fate as Nestor and Stepanek eased in front in 38 minutes. Soares held for the first time in the match as he and Murray drew level at 2-2 in second set. The Brazilian started to raise his game to that of his team-mate and the pair, on Nestor's serve, finally took a break point at the eighth attempt to take a 3-2 lead before levelling the match. In the third set, the momentum was with Murray and Soares as the former became the first Briton to win the men's doubles title at the Australian Open since Fred Perry and Pat Hughes in 1934. "You dream about this moment since when you start playing tennis and I don't know what to say," said Soares. "Jamie, my partner, it's only one month [since we teamed up], but I think we can retire now. "Thanks for inviting me and thanks for playing such good tennis. I hope we can carry it on and play for many more matches like this." UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said that much of the blame lay with President Bashar al-Assad's government. She accused it of an arbitrary and unjustified refusal to grant aid convoys access to remoter areas. Baroness Amos said violence, including sexual violence, continued to increase. The Syrian government has yet to respond to her allegations but has consistently argued that it is doing its utmost to get food and medical supplies to people in less accessible areas. In February, the Security Council called on all parties to allow aid to cross conflict lines and borders. "The situation for millions of desperate people has not improved," Baroness Amos said. "In fact, conflict and violence have intensified over the past four weeks with many people killed and injured." She said that since 22 February there had been about 300 cases of sexual violence recorded in the Damascus area alone. Baroness Amos's remarks come five weeks after the Security Council, in a rare moment of unanimity on Syria, demanded greater access to deliver humanitarian aid. She criticised the Assad government's delays in allowing aid deliveries and noted that assistance had reached just 6% of those living in besieged areas, while 175,000 people remain trapped by government forces and 45,000 people are encircled by opposition groups. The humanitarian chief said that despite the Security Council's demands, the use of barrel bombs by the government has continued, and so too the shelling of civilians. One aid convoy has been allowed to enter over the border from Turkey, but 3.5 million people are estimated to need aid in hard-to-reach areas. Britain and the US are discussing further steps to punish President Assad for what they see as his government's non-compliance with the resolution. BBC UN correspondent Nick Bryant says that would require action from the Security Council and support from Russia - something which the Crimea crisis makes all the more difficult. Five people were aboard the training aircraft when it was forced to land at Yr Aran, a mountain ridge south of Snowdon on Tuesday at about 13:45 BST. The Griffin helicopter from RAF Valley on Anglesey then burst into flames. All the passengers escaped unharmed but walkers for miles around could see black smoke billowing from the peak. A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said an investigation was underway and the wreckage would be removed once that was completed. Five people - four military and one civilian - were on the helicopter when it completed what the MOD called a "precautionary landing", while another person involved in the training exercise was already on the mountain. It said the exercise involved the helicopter picking people up and putting them back down. After the helicopter caught fire, the air ambulance was sent to the scene, along with a coastguard helicopter. Firefighters, police and mountain rescue teams from Llanberis, Ogwen Valley and Aberglaslyn also made their way to the peak, while an air exclusion zone was put in place. The 31-year-old Celtic captain is expected to skipper Scotland against England in the World Cup qualifier at Hampden on Saturday. "I'm gutted that he [Scott Brown] didn't retire," quipped Butcher. "The very fact he wants to play against England and come back and lead Scotland is a big boost for the country." Describing Brown as an "inspirational leader", Butcher added: "It's interesting when you read his quotes about last year when he didn't feel right, he felt drained physically and he felt better coming back this season and you can see that difference. "It's no coincidence Scotland have picked up because he came back in." Former England international Paul Scholes queried whether Brown would be comfortable playing in England's top flight, but Butcher is confident he could shine. "He would do without a doubt," added Butcher. "It wouldn't be a battle between Paul Scholes and Scott Brown - because Paul Scholes couldn't tackle a fish supper sometimes! He wasn't renowned for his tackling. He was renowned for his ability on the ball, his passing, scoring and everything else. "Scott Brown would win hands down if it came to a physical battle, but Paul had the edge in terms of ability and vision and touch." "Scott could handle the English Premier League no problem at all. He's a clever player. People think he goes about like a headless chicken, but he doesn't. He's very clever, he's very strong, he's the fulcrum, the point of attack in midfield and the point of defence as well. I wish he wasn't playing!" Brown recently returned to Scotland duty following a brief retirement. Butcher believes that - even at the age of 31 - Brown has what it takes to play for a top four club in England. "I think he could. He's an enforcer but he's also a passer of the ball," the former Motherwell manager said. "If he was given a specific role he's got the ability mentally and physically to cope with that. I still think he could do that now. Media playback is not supported on this device "You look at players in his position in the top four sides, the top six sides - and there is now looking like a top six or seven in England - he could handle that quite comfortably. "You have got Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier that he'll be up against from Spurs in midfield - that's going to be a great battle. I don't know who else is going to battle against Scott Brown in there - because he would take two players on, no problems. He would love it." The decision was taken at a meeting on Wednesday after six independent councillors joined forces to force the issue back on to the agenda. They said the original decision taken last month was premature as tenants will soon be asked to vote on the future of the council's housing stock. A council report said such decisions can be "called in" and re-assessed. A minimum of four councillors have to make a formal approach to ask for a re-think and in this case six banded together. But, after looking again at the issue, Wednesday's housing overview and scrutiny committee decided they were happy with the original decision. Under the plans agreed last month, part of the council-owned land currently occupied by the maisonettes would be sold for development to finance other parts of the project which includes a mix of social housing and other community facilities. Meanwhile, Flintshire's 7,500 council tenants are also being consulted over the possible transfer of ownership of all council homes to a social landlord. Residents have been told previously that the intention is to flatten the maisonettes regardless of the outcome of the consultation. But the six councillors, who are members of the "new independent" group on the council, say the two issues should not be considered separately and some question whether money for housing should be used to help regenerate Flint. A report to the committee says decisions made by the council executive committee can be called in if requested by a committee chair or a minimum of four councillors within five days of that decision being taken. The committee was able to question council officials and councillors who made the initial decision before taking their own view. In a separate issue, the committee also agreed to support two schemes to help home buyers which includes setting aside £1m for a Local Authority Mortgage Scheme to provide an indemnity to a home buyer's lender if they are unable to raise a big enough deposit to obtain a mortgage. Conwy council approved a similar scheme last September. At the moment, students and examiners have to wear a gown over an outfit known as "sub fusc". The compulsory clothing includes a dark suit, black shoes, a plain white shirt or blouse with a bow tie, long tie or ribbon. Oxford University Student Union has called a referendum on the rules. The result of the online vote will be announced on Friday at 20:00 BST. James Blythe, the union's vice-president for access and academic affairs, said he called the vote after some examiners asked to be allowed to stop wearing sub fusc. He said the policy should only be changed if it also applied to students. At a previous referendum in 2006, students voted to continue the tradition. A "no" vote would not automatically change the rules, as the result is not binding on the university. Xav Cohen, a second-year student of Philosophy, Politics and Economics, who is leading the "no" campaign, said: "I think people see sub fusc and they associate it with the perceived elitism at Oxford of the Bullingdon Club and all the rest of it. "They see it as inaccessible and quite alienating and a lot of really able students, when they're 16 or 17, think, because of the traditions, 'this place isn't for me'." First-year History student Harrison Edmonds, leader of the "Save Subfusc" campaign, said: "The thing about sub fusc is that it doesn't matter about your background, your gender, your class, your race - it treats you all equally. "It is an Oxford tradition that is popular with students and... it is one of our unique selling points as a university." The University of Oxford has declined to comment ahead of polls closing. Sub fusc comes from the Latin for dark brown. The first reference to the term is in the university statutes from 1636. The University of Oxford defines it as: 1. one of: dark suit with dark socks; or dark skirt with black tights or stockings; or dark trousers with dark socks 2. dark coat if required 3. black shoes 4. plain white collared shirt or blouse 5. white bow tie, black bow tie, black full-length tie, or black ribbon. Source: http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic_dress US artist Ally Burguieres complained on Facebook after Swift used a wrongly-credited drawing of a fox identical to one of her watercolour designs. Swift removed the image but the artist claims she took months to compensate her, that it wasn't enough and she was told she had to give it charity. Swift's representatives say Ms Burguieres is just seeking publicity. They also say the singer was just sharing a piece of work, that Ms Burguieres had been more than fairly compensated and that no stipulation of a donation was made. "Notwithstanding the huge publicity this has generated for Ms Burguieres and her store, in early November, Ms Swift's office made a fair offer of payment well above a reasonable licensing fee for the short time that the fan art was posted online," the representative told Rolling Stone. Swift used the hand-drawn image on social media alongside the lyrics to the track I Know Places, which features the lyrics: "They are the hunters we are the foxes and we run…" In her Facebook post, the New Orleans artist wrote: "I am a professional artist. With years of work and support from customers, friends, and family, I have built a business around my designs. "As a professional artist, I was astonished to see you use one of my most popular designs on all your official social media platforms as part of your promotions for 1989. "The design was a copy, and with someone else's name signed to it. I was devastated." Ms Burguieres added that Swift would not herself agree to the "four-figure" compensation amount or to the charity donation terms. "Taylor, as a professional, would you agree to such terms from Apple, or Spotify?" said Ms Burguieres, referring to the fact Taylor took her music off the music streaming service Spotify and confronted Apple about artist payments. Swift's team told Rolling Stone: "We have tried on multiple occasions to address Ms Burguieres' concerns, but these actions make it clear to us that this is just an unfortunate effort to extract more money and more publicity." The row over the fox painting is the latest in a line of recent copyright and legal wrangles involving Swift. Last month Swift paid an undisclosed sum to a US clothing company to settle a legal dispute over her use of its Lucky 13 name. A judge also threw out a claim by US R&B singer Jesse Braham that Swift copied the words from his 2013 song called Haters Gone Hate for her hit Shake It Off. And in October, Swift filed a counterclaim against a US radio DJ who is suing her over allegations he groped her backstage at a concert in June 2013. Mak Chishty described Saturday's terror attack in London, which was claimed by the so-called Islamic State group, as "an attack on all communities". Seven died in the attack, with 48 hurt. The attackers were shot dead by police. "Terrorism and extremism is hurting Islam," said Mr Chishty - the highest-ranking Met officer of Muslim faith. "Every time a terrorist attack takes place, Muslim communities either face, or fear, a backlash against them," said a statement read by Mr Chishty on behalf of Muslim community groups. "The Muslim community appeals to all sections within their own communities to root out the scourge of terrorism which hides amongst their own people and masquerades as Islam. "The Muslim community is alarmed and concerned that this attack by three people, which would have required planning, was not reported." The three attackers drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge and launched a knife attack in Borough Market before being shot by police. It was the third terror attack in the UK in three months, following the car and knife attack in Westminster in March, in which five people were killed, and the Manchester bombing on 22 May, when 22 people were killed. Speaking outside New Scotland Yard, flanked by Muslim community leaders, Mr Chishty added: "It is the Islamic duty of every Muslim to be loyal to the country in which they live and we are now asking questions to understand how extremism and hatred has taken hold within some elements of our own communities. "Muslims must do more to stop such attacks from happening again and we want to know how we can play a greater role in the future." Mohammed Endris is accused of smothering his son Saros Endris, eight, and his daughter Leanor, six, who were found after a fire in Holland Road, Birmingham in October. The 46-year-old also denied attempting to murder their mother, Penil Teklehaimanot. He was remanded in custody at Birmingham Crown Court until his trial, which is expected on 6 November. Mr Endris, who appeared in the dock with a head bandage, was charged with murder in January after being released from hospital following treatment for burns he suffered in a car fire. His children are thought to have died from an obstruction in their airways. More updates on this story Recent reports suggest that stadium construction is behind schedule while Cameroon also faces economic problems. "Despite security concerns, social and economic crises, the government and President Paul Biya are totally engaged to do everything for the Nations Cup to go ahead," said Ismael Bidoung. Cameroon won this year's Nations Cup. In the wake of concerns aired about Cameroon's readiness, North African nations Algeria and Morocco have recently put themselves forward as back-up options for the finals. Bidoung said that group games will take place in five cities, with Limbe having been added to the four venues mentioned in Cameroon's original bid: Bafoussam, Douala, Garoua and the capital Yaounde. However, more venues are needed for the teams' training - some of which were already used when Cameroon hosted the Women's Africa Cup of Nations last year. "Of the 32 stadia required for the 2019 Nations Cup, the 11 that served for the 2016 Women Africa Cup of Nations are ready and functional," said Bidoung. "For the 21 other stadia, 14 are under rehabilitation and 7 are still to be constructed." The stadiums in Yaounde (the 60,000-capacity Japoma) and in Douala (50,000) are those that require the most reconstruction work. Italian firm Piccini is working on the Olembe stadium in Yaounde and has reassured Cameroonians that it will deliver the venue three months before the finals begin. It added that 80% of the material will be precast in Italy before being shipped to Cameroon. "The stadium will be ready for Caf inspection in September 2017, but you must be aware that work will still be going on in the complex afterwards," said Marc Debandt, the director for the Olembe project. "The commercial centre and hotel will be completed afterwards." One former Cameroon international, Patrick Mboma, is fearful about the slow pace of work across his nation. "For the past two years I have been sending out a distress signal," he said on Twitter. "Cameroon is not advancing for the 2019 Nations Cup. Let's avoid humiliation. This is a dream that must not be shattered." Cameroon has won the Nations Cup five times, four more than it has hosted the event - with its sole staging coming back in 1972, when Congo took the title. Vale winger Chris Birchall nipped in ahead of Jim McNulty to round keeper Joel Castro Pereira and slip the ball inside the near post on 13 minutes. But Dale levelled from Ian Henderson's 40th-minute penalty following Carl Dickinson's foul on Donal McDermott. Nat Mendez-Laing knocked in a rebound to win it on 78 minutes prior to captain Carl Dickinson's sending off. Dickinson, who was red carded in added time for an off-the-ball challenge on Henderson, had earlier seen his header graze the top of Pereira's crossbar after Mendez-Laing had slammed a shot against the foot of the post at the other end. Both sides hit the woodwork after the break, Mendez-Laing slamming a shot against the foot of the post for Dale. But, when James Hooper's effort was blocked, the rebound ran kindly for Mendez-Laing who applied a cool finish to find the bottom corner of Jak Alnwick's net and earn victory. Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I enjoyed watching the game, I thought the performance merited 3 points. I must admit I do believe we were given a penalty that was an excellent challenge from one of their defenders, I don't think it was a penalty and I think the referee has got that wrong. I am one of those that comes out and complains about referees. "As a home manager to get the advantage their when the opposition is winning 1-0. It was a big lift for us but I think we were playing well and I do believe we deserved the 3 points from the performance. "I think we've got a very good squad of players, but we are dealing with inconsistent performances. Individually we have to crack that nut. On any given Saturday we're a very, very good side but I just want a little bit of individual consistency. This season I think we've been inconsistent with performances which has led to inconsistent results."

Elizabeth Mulcahy, of Llandaff, Cardiff, said her accuser had fabricated the claims against her. She denies six counts of indecent assault against a girl under 13. Cardiff Crown Court heard that when the allegations were put to her by police, she said: "It's a big lie - total, blatant - I never touched her." Ms Mulcahy is accused of touching the girl inappropriately, starting when the alleged victim was under 10 and continuing until she was 13. In interview, she said: "For me to touch her like that, I've never heard anything so horrible in my whole life." The case continues.

Claims an 82-year-old woman sexually assaulted a young girl in the 1970s and 1980s are "total lies", a court has heard.

Kevin Devaney had taken advantage of poor defending to tap home his second goal of the season in the 24th minute. Boyle fired in the equaliser 15 minutes from time and snatched victory with a left-foot finish in stoppage time. The Candystripes have now won three league games in a row and are one of five teams joint top of the table. The visitors went into the match unbeaten in their three opening fixtures of the campaign and looked set to extend that run until Boyle's late intervention. Derry manager Kenny Shiels fielded an unchanged line-up for the third successive game as he hoped to build on clean sheet victories over Cork City and Bray Wanderers, following an opening night defeat by Finn Harps. Devaney opened the scoring with a right-foot shot past Ger Doherty at the back post after Gary Shanahan had squared the ball across goal. Former Derry player Enda Curran almost caught Doherty off his line before half-time while the home keeper saved from Shanahan's glancing header. For the home side, Gareth McGlynn saw his free-kick tipped over by Conor Winn, who also denied Barry McNamee. A well organised Galway side looked to be running out comfortable winners until Boyle levelled, and Winn produced a fine stop from Josh Daniels, who was also seeking his first goal for the club. Boyle then latched onto a loose ball and unleashed a stunning effort to secure victory. Derry are joined by Cork City, Dundalk, St Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers on nine points at the summit of the Premier Division. His comments follow criticism of the policy from the body representing Welsh universities and opposition parties. Mr Jones told BBC Wales he was "not attracted to the idea" of "putting huge amounts of debt on other students". A policy review by Prof Sir Ian Diamond is due to be finished in September. Students from Wales currently only pay £3,810 towards their tuition fees, wherever they study in the UK. The rest, up to £5,190 a year, is paid for by the Welsh government. The chair of Universities Wales has said tuition fee grants should be replaced by a means-tested grant to help poorer pupils. Prof Colin Riordan has warned the policy threatens the future of higher education in Wales because tens of millions of pounds ends up in the coffers of universities in England. But, in an interview with BBC Wales Today, Mr Jones said: "Means testing is not where we are going on this. "We will have to look at what the Diamond review says but I am not attracted to the idea of simply doing what England does, and means testing and putting huge amounts of debt on other students. "What we will never do is put Welsh students in the same financial position as their colleagues in England. "That is the fundamental principle of what we will do in future." The Welsh Conservatives have said they would scrap tuition fee subsidies and pay half of students' rent instead. Plaid Cymru would also scrap the grants, and instead pay Welsh students working in Wales after graduation £6,000 a year, up to a maximum of £18,000. The Welsh Liberal Democrats' policy is to replace tuition fee subsidies with maintenance grants, while UKIP says it would like to cut tuition fees. Media playback is not supported on this device The 22-year-old won Olympic gold on Sunday after a dramatic countback win over Roberto Cammarelle, Italy's defending champion from Beijing. Joshua won silver at last year's World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. "I'd like to become world amateur champion before I go professional," said the London 2012 gold medallist. Media playback is not supported on this device It was Joshua's second victory over the Italian two-time world champion, having beaten him at the last-eight stage in Baku last year. However, the Finchley ABC boxer was eventually beaten by home favourite Magomedrasul Medzhidov in the decider. Joshua now wants to win gold at next year's event in Kazakhstan - and join Frankie Gavin and Savannah Marshall as Britain's only world amateur champions. He said: "I know there's the World Championships next year. I need to rest my body first because it is in pain." Joshua insists he is not motivated by money and is keen to emulate world amateur greats such as Ukraine's Vasyl Lomachenko who became a two-weight Olympic champion on Sunday. "If fame comes I'm going to be OK with it, but I don't want to be hyped up and made out to be something I'm not," he added. "I look at great amateur champions like Lomachenko and how he just goes out there and gets the job done every time, and that's the kind of attitude I want to have. "I'm not interested in the money. I want to go out and get a burger and a big chocolate cake, then I want to go back to my flat just to kick back for a few days and enjoy some of my mum's home cooking." The super-heavyweight sensation could also be tempted to stay in the unpaid ranks until Rio 2016 and help Great Britain improve on the five medals they claimed in London. He added: "You look at the Cubans, the Ukrainians and the Chinese and all their double Olympic champions and imagine how great that would be. "If Great Britain can keep this team together, we would be incredibly strong in Rio in four years. We are in a position where we could dominate amateur boxing over the next four years." Since September last year, local authorities have been obliged to fine parents who take children out of school for unauthorised absences. But the Local Government Association says the new rules do not recognise the complexities of family life. A Department for Education spokeswoman said heads still had flexibility. Until last September, heads could grant up to 10 days' leave a year for family holidays in "special circumstances". But now head teachers can grant absence outside school holidays only in "exceptional circumstances". And local authorities are obliged to instigate fines and enforce legal proceedings on behalf of schools. This means parents who take children out of school during term-time, often to avoid very high holiday costs, can receive automatic penalty notices of £60 per child. This rises to £120 if not paid within 21 days. Parents who fail to pay could face prosecution and a maximum fine of £2,500 or a jail sentence of up to three months. The LGA said that while councils fully supported the Department for Education's stance that every child should be in school every day, there were occasions when circumstances should be given individual consideration. These might include religious festivals, weddings, funerals or even once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board, said: "Ensuring every child has a good school attendance is of paramount concern for everyone working with children. "However, common sense must prevail in cases when mums and dads ask to take their child out of school during term-time if there is a legitimate reason. "An outright ban is too simplistic and doesn't recognise that family life and circumstances aren't always so black and white. Stewart Sutherland (above), a security guard, and wife Natasha, from Telford in Shropshire, set up a campaign group against the new rules after being fined £1,000 for taking their three children out of school for a family holiday in Greece. They say they both work shifts and find it difficult to get time off together. "I couldn't get the time off work when the schools were on holiday and after the kids missing out on four years of not having a holiday for the same problem, I felt it was necessary to take them out of school because they deserve a holiday as much as anyone else," said Mr Sutherland. "But then there's lots of reasons... for financial reasons, or there's people whose kids are disabled for example, and they don't want to go in the main season when there's too many people around because it causes problems on the holiday." Many parents say they are unable to afford family breaks as travel companies raise their prices during the school holidays. Paul Cookson's "school holiday rant" on Facebook went viral after he said he was "sick and tired" of being "ripped off" by holiday companies. His post prompted more than 170,000 people to sign an online petition asking the government to stop holiday companies charging extra in school holidays Some parents say the savings on cheaper holidays during the school terms are worth the cost of being fined. Donna-Marie Hollingdale told the BBC that if she had taken her children out of school during term she could have saved at least £1,200 and paid the fine as well. "I'd happily pay the fine and take my child out of school when the holidays are a lot cheaper because I'd still be quids in and still save money." Last year one primary, Bishop Bronescombe C of E school in St Austell, Cornwall, created an extra week's holiday at the end of the May half-term holiday so that low-paid parents could take advantage of lower prices. He added that head teachers knew families' circumstances and "should be trusted to make decisions without being forced to issue fines and start prosecutions". But a spokeswoman for the Department for Education said that heads had the option of allowing time off if necessary. "We have been clear that all head teachers are free to grant pupils leave in exceptional circumstances. "It is up to them to decide whether to grant time off, and how much to grant. This appears to be exactly what the LGA is calling for." Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "The problem lies with the holiday companies and airlines and if this issue is to be addressed sensibly then there should be pressure put on them, not schools. "Many teachers are parents and we entirely sympathise with the dilemma caused by price hikes for breaks during the school holidays. "In particular, at this time of pressure on pay, our sympathies are with those on low pay who have little option but to take the cheapest holiday they can find. "It remains the case that pupils can be granted time off in exceptional circumstances." Lloyd's chief executive Inga Beale described the results as "strong", given the "challenging market conditions" that it faced. Profits were helped by a "relatively benign" year for major natural catastrophes, Lloyd's said, as well as better returns on investment. The Lloyd's market includes 94 syndicates who underwrite insurance. Gross written premiums fell to £25.3bn, from £25.6bn the previous year. "In the face of global challenges, an abundance of capital and the low interest rate environment, Lloyd's is being proactive in seizing the opportunities out there for growth and diversification," said Ms Beale. "We will continue to engage with our global network of syndicates and brokers, to ensure Lloyd's remains at the forefront of innovation in the industry." Lloyd's is looking to increase its international presence. It has opened operations in Dubai and China this year and is also opening an office in Mexico. In addition, it said the Indian government had now passed legislation to allow it to operate onshore in India. Ms Beale told the BBC that businesses around the world were collectively losing billions of dollars through cyber attacks. "We are trying to raise awareness in the business community," she said. She said the Lloyd's market held about 15% of the total insurance against cyber-attacks bought around the world. Lloyd's was working with the UK government and other insurance players to help companies guard against attacks, she said. The man doused an ants' nest in petrol before setting it alight, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said. Flames quickly spread along a garden hedge before the man's house caught fire, melting plastic guttering, a plastic window frame and a garden chair. A fire service spokesman said: "Using petrol to eliminate an ants' nest has to be a first for us." The fire started at about 20:00 BST on Thursday. The spokesman added: "We always tell people never to use petrol or other accelerants to get a fire going. "The incident is a classic example of how even a small fire can so quickly develop into a much more serious incident." Susan Mitchelson, 45, was found with more than 50 stab wounds at her home in Northumberland in November. Newcastle Crown Court heard the boy, 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, suffered serious mental health issues and believed he was a demon. He was sentenced to a hospital order after admitting manslaughter with diminished responsibility. The court heard the boy suffered from several mental health issues, including schizophrenia and had sought help for two years, but it had been "to no avail". Judge Paul Sloan QC said the boy had a "morbid interest in horror, death and killing" and was under the "delusional belief" he was a demon. A statement from the boy's family, which was read out in court, said: "The death maybe could have been prevented if healthcare professionals connected with him had listened to our concerns due to his increasing mental state and aggressive behaviour." They claimed that instead he was just given an increased dose of medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Mark Guiliani, prosecuting, said after the attack in November the boy was seen sitting on a park bench by a member of the public, who described him as looking in shock. When police arrived he told them what had happened and said the knives were in a nearby bin. Mr Guiliani said he had become "addicted to the internet" and would visit sites which shared horror and paranormal stories and asked users to submit their own. The court heard medical evidence that the boy heard voices in his head and imagined people being decapitated and killed. Jamie Hill QC, defending, said there would be a full inquiry by social and community mental health services into what had happened. Judge Sloan described the boy as "an extremely dangerous individual" who would remain so for the "foreseeable future". There were 3,259 arrests on suspicion of drink or drug driving in Northern Ireland from March 2015 to April 2016. These resulted in 588 drug driving charges and 1,413 for drink driving. Manchester had a total of 3,284 arrests, comparable to here, although Northern Ireland's population is smaller. But Manchester had just 315 drug driving charges along with 1,842 drink driving charges. Inspector Rosie Leach from the PSNI's Road Policing Unit said: "It is difficult to pinpoint what trends are going on because people use drugs and alcohol in combination. "They sometimes use alcohol to mask the fact they have been taking drugs, so I don't know if we can say with absolute certainty that we are on a rise in terms of drug driving." "It is mainly younger people but we also have older people who are maybe taking a combination of drugs, and unwittingly it is affecting their driving. "If you get behind the wheel of a car, and you have been taking drugs, if you take them in combination with alcohol, then you are really in a very, very dangerous position," she added. Seven men were sentenced at Preston Crown Court after what Lancashire Police said was one of their biggest drugs investigations in recent times. Police said the men circulated a "huge amount" of cannabis in the Darwen area. Among them was Kenneth Langford, who stepped down as manager of AFC Darwen shortly after his arrest last year. Two other members of his family were also jailed. Det Insp Mark Vaughton said: "Between them, the Langfords and their associates have blighted Darwen and the surrounding areas for too long, flaunting their criminal wealth. "I hope these sentences reassure people that we will act on any information that is passed to us in order to make local communities safer." Hua Haifeng was working undercover for the US-based China Labor Watch (CLW), which said he had witnessed examples of forced overtime and wage violations. Two other activists involved in the investigation are missing, CLW said. The supplier also makes products for other brands including Karl Lagerfeld, Coach and Nine West, it said. CLW called on US President Trump to press for the release of Mr Hua. Amnesty International has demanded the release all three activists, saying the two missing are feared to also have been detained. "The trio appear to be the latest to fall foul of the Chinese authorities' aggressive campaign against human rights activists who have any ties to overseas organizations, using the pretence of 'national security'," William Nee, China researcher at Amnesty International, said in a statement. There has been no comment so far from Chinese authorities, the Trump administration or the Ivanka Trump brand. CLW said Mr Hua was detained in Jiangxi province on suspicion of illegally using eavesdropping equipment but that this allegation had "no factual basis". The group's executive director, Li Qiang, told the BBC the firm Mr Hua had been investigating, Huajian Group, had "violated workers' rights in ways that included: forced overtime, wages lower than China's legal minimum wage, managers' verbal abuse of workers, and violations of women's rights". In 17 years of investigating Chinese factories it was "the first time any [of] our investigators have been detained under a criminal process," Mr Li said. Mr Hua's wife told the BBC she had lost contact with him on 28 May, but then police contacted her on Tuesday to say he was being held. "I was shocked and freaked out," Deng Guilian said. "I only know that my husband was investigating a factory based in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province. That factory manufactures US president's daughter's product," she said. "I think he was detained for that. Police told me that my husband has been detained for illegal monitoring activities." The other two men - named as Li Zhao and Su Heng - were working undercover at Huajian factories in Dongguan in Guangdong province and in Ganzhou. China has seen frequent crackdowns on labour rights activists and rights lawyers in recent years, with campaigners being harassed, arrested or jailed. Wiggins, 36, has five golds, one silver and two bronzes to surpass fellow cyclist Sir Chris Hoy's tally of seven. He combined with Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Steven Burke to complete the 4km race in three minutes 50.265 seconds to beat Australia by almost a second. "It was gold or nothing. I'll be hungover tomorrow," said Wiggins. "I'm trying to soak it all up. It was a horrible race to be in. It's over in a flash. "It's a relief. Eighteen months ago there were doubts about whether I could come back and do this." Asked whether he will now retire, the 2012 Tour de France winner said: "My kids need a proper dad in their lives. My wife needs a proper husband. "I wanted to go out on top, and it was one of the best finals ever. Hats off to the Australians. "I'm not doing Tokyo 2020. I'm happy and content with everything I've achieved." GB's second track gold of the Games, following the men's team sprint victory, came in thrilling fashion, as world champions Australia led by 0.7 seconds at the halfway mark, before GB reeled them in and then pulled away in the final 500m to win by 0.83 seconds. It cemented Britain's recent dominance in this event at the Olympics, having won gold at the past three Games. Wiggins was part of the 2008 success, but focused on the road to take time-trial gold at London 2012. Clancy and Burke were part of the team that set a new world record at London 2012 and, along with Doull and Wiggins, sent that mark tumbling twice in Rio - in the semi-final victory over New Zealand and then again in the final. Australia came into the contest on the back of a victory over Britain at the World Championships in March, but Wiggins said at the time he would "put my house" on his team claiming gold in Rio - and he was proven right. Denmark won the bronze medal-race against New Zealand while, earlier in the session, Britain's defending individual sprint champion Jason Kenny progressed to the second round, where he will be joined by team-mate Callum Skinner. Clancy, 31, now a three-time Olympic gold medallist, said: "This is the best gold of them all. If truth be told we haven't won a fat deal between London and now. "We had some big downs and crossing the line there has made every single pedal revolution and every training session worthwhile." Welshman Owain Doull, 23, said: "It's surreal. To pull it off now is unbelievable." Burke, 28, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, said: "I really wanted to defend the title. It all came together at the right time. We've got the best team ever." Wiggins celebrated with hugs for BBC Sport pundits Hoy and Sir Steve Redgrave - three Britons who have 21 Olympic medals between them - before performing an impression of British sprint cyclist Philip Hindes and sticking his tongue out during the national anthem on the podium. Wiggins' tally of five gold medals is still one fewer than Hoy's six, with the Scot winning all of his on the track, but he draws level with rower Redgrave. Sir Chris Hoy, six-time Olympic track cycling gold medallist: "Sticking his tongue out during the medal ceremony showed what a release of pressure it was. He's happy, relaxed and loving the moment. "He's the greatest British cyclist of all time because of what he's done across the board in so many disciplines. Chris Froome has won three Tours de France, which is no mean feat, but Bradley has won road world titles, Tour de France, track titles and set the world hour time record. "Tonight hasn't really changed that because he was the greatest before tonight." Sir Steve Redgrave, five-time Olympic rowing gold medallist: "It was fantastic to be here. The atmosphere was very special. I wanted to be here to see the team pursuit win and to see Brad win. "I admire him so much. For his character - he's very different, fresh and special. "I am getting annoyed these cyclists are pushing me down the list!" British Olympic Association chief executive Bill Sweeney: "Amazing, fantastic achievement. Our most decorated Olympian of all time and to do it in that fashion, one of the tightest men's pursuits you are ever likely to see. "He is a great leader, fantastic athlete. He keeps coming back, the ultimate professional, always staying in shape and he inspires people to come in the sport and do the same." Wiggins' move to the top of the combined British medal charts comes in the event in which he claimed his first Olympic medal 16 years ago. Aged 20, Wiggins joined Paul Manning, Chris Newton and Bryan Steel to take team pursuit bronze at Sydney 2000. He added three more in Athens four years later, taking individual pursuit gold, team pursuit silver and Madison bronze with Rob Hayles. Beijing 2008 produced double gold in the individual pursuit and team pursuit and, with 10 world track medals to his name, Wiggins opted to change discipline and prove his skills on the road. It was a spectacularly successful move, culminating in 2012 when he became Britain's first Tour de France winner and then took Olympic time-trial gold at the London Games 10 days later. He is the only cyclist to win both the Tour and an Olympic gold in the same year. Wiggins' celebrity was launched in Britain, not only for his superb victories, but for his cool, laid-back demeanour. The trademark sideburns and his penchant for the mod style, made famous by bands such as The Who and The Jam, contributed to "Wiggomania" in the summer of 2012, as did his vibe of working-class boy done good. His popularity with the British public was reflected by his BBC Sports Personality of the Year victory in 2012 and in the next year he was knighted to become Sir Bradley, although he admitted he felt "a little bit inferior" to others who received the title. The relationship with Team Sky, with whom he won his Tour title, would become strained as Chris Froome's emergence pushed him to the sidelines, but he won the World Championships time trial title in 2014 before moving back to track racing and breaking the gruelling one-hour record. Earlier this year he won a second Madison track world title with long-time friend and team-mate Mark Cavendish, before sealing his legacy as one of Britain's greatest ever Olympians by helping GB to team pursuit gold at Rio 2016, claiming the fifth gold of his career.

There have been several reports of it happening on Church Lane near the Trunk Road flyover in Grangetown, Middlesbrough in the past week. It is believed a group of five youths are responsible for damaging the roof of one car and smashing the passenger window of another. Sgt Steve Pattison said someone could be "seriously injured or even killed". "We repeat these warnings over and over again and a minority still refuse to listen," he said. "How far does this need to go before they stop? "It's important that parents know where their children are and what they are up to." No one was injured in the attacks. "Even if I am withdrawing into prayer, I will always be close to all of you... even if I remain hidden to the world," he told a meeting of Roman priests. The pontiff, 85, shocked the world's biggest Christian Church on Monday when he announced his resignation. He cited his advanced age as the reason for resigning. According to the Vatican's semi-official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, the Pope took the decision to resign after his trip to Mexico and Cuba in 2012. The Vatican confirmed on Thursday that Pope Benedict had hit his head during the March trip to Mexico, but denied the accident had any role in his decision. According to a report in Italy's La Stampa newspaper, the Pope was lightly injured after getting up in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar bedroom during the trip, with blood staining his hair and sheets. Earlier this week, the Vatican said for the first time that Pope Benedict had a pacemaker, and that he had undergone surgery to replace the batteries three months ago. The Pope appears to be planning a complete retreat from the public eye, the BBC's Alan Johnston reports from the Vatican. However, he is expected to spend his retirement in a monastery at the Vatican and his relationship with his successor as pope is bound to be an endless source of speculation, our correspondent adds. A new pope is expected to be elected by cardinals before Easter, which falls on 31 March this year. Pope Benedict made his remarks at the Vatican in what amounted to a farewell address to hundreds of priests who serve in the Diocese of Rome, our correspondent says. He appealed to the spirit of the reformist Second Vatican Council of the 1960s. How many Catholics are there in the world? How does a Pope resign from office? "We must work for the realisation of the real council and for a real renewal of the Church," he said. Speaking earlier, some of the unnamed priests gave their reaction to the pontiff's decision to resign. "People are divided, some say that he was right in doing so, since he did not feel able to continue any longer, others on the contrary feel dejected," said one. "As for me, I am grieved and I hope and I pray for Benedict XVI, hoping that the Church again finds strength." "It was certainly a surprise for everybody," said another. "Maybe in this moment we cannot easily understand it since all of us are feeling shocked but it is a sign that our pontiff wanted to act for the good of the Church. "He steps aside not because he abandons Peter's boat, but because he wants this boat to be led with the help of the Holy Spirit through a person who is strong." Next week the Pope will carry out no public engagements after which he will hold one more public audience on 27 February, in St Peter's Square. On 28 February he will fly off to the papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo, where he will stay while Church leaders go through the complicated ritual of choosing a successor. The eclipse, which was only visible from small sections of land, ended over southern parts of Chile and Argentina. The eclipse started at 1815 GMT about 700km (440 miles) south-east of Tonga, and reached Easter Island by 2011 GMT. The population of the island - a Unesco World Heritage site - doubled to about 8,000 for the event. Some forecasters had warned that cloudy skies could dash hopes of a clear view of the eclipse. But as the moment neared on Easter Island, stormy weather gave way to bright sunshine . "It was like being in the stadium at night with artificial light. It was like being in a dark room with a 10-watt bulb," local official Francisco Haoa told AFP news agency. "It started with a shadow. The skies were perfectly blue, with lots of wind which chased away the clouds. Everyone applauded." In Tahiti, where the eclipse began, crowds of football-mad Polynesians turned away from the World Cup final on TV to look to the skies instead. "It was like the Sun was smiling," said eight-year-old Hinanui. "The Sun seemed like a horizontal crescent, then the Moon covered up the bottom of the Sun which reappeared again as a crescent." A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking its rays and casting a shadow. The eclipse followed an 11,000km (6.900-mile) path over the South Pacific. The longest time of eclipse - five minutes and 20 seconds - was over the sea. Easter Island's governor has insisted it can cope with the influx, but there has been increased security at sacred sites, including for the famous Moai stone statues. The island was partly evacuated after Chile's earthquake in February and the authorities want to show that it is back on the tourist map. Local mayor Luz del Carmen Zasso told Agence France-Presse news agency: "Easter Island is an open-air museum, and the eclipse is part of this museum." Paul Liam Duddy, from Ardnamoyle Park in Derry, appeared in court on Monday where he admitted possession of herbal cannabis, diazepam and viagra. Police found the drugs in his bedroom when they searched his home in April. The court heard he was threatened while he was serving a community service sentence for a separate conviction. His defence solicitor told the court that the Probation Service was now trying to find another location outside Derry to enable Duddy to complete his community service. He added that his client was now in rehab and had not used drugs since police made the seizure on 21 April. The judge imposed a £250 fine on Duddy and ordered that the drugs must be destroyed. Paceman Clint McKay took 4-37 for match figures of 8-84 as Essex were bowled out for 133 in their second innings. It left the visitors with a victory target of 159 from 33 overs. Opener Angus Robson made 56 off 75 balls, his second half-century of the game, as they stuttered home on 159-6 with just 11 balls to spare. Essex began play on 22-1 and lost three wickets during a morning session which also saw a lengthy hold-up for bad light. Tom Westley was lbw to Rob Taylor for 25 straight after lunch, and that proved to be the highest score in a disappointing Essex effort, in which their last five wickets went down for 32 runs. It looked plain sailing for the visitors as Robson and Mark Cosgrove (38) added 53, but they both departed in the space of four overs before Neil Dexter finally hit the two runs needed at the start of the penultimate over to secure their second win of the summer. The fire at M&R Commercials in Felinfach Industrial Estate, Fforestfach, involving 4,000 tyres, cylinders, waste and scrap vehicles, started at about 06:00 BST on Monday. Nearby train services were affected. About 70 firefighters were tackling the blaze at its height, but Mid and West Wales Fire Service said the it plans to let the fire burn itself out. Nobody seems to have come up with a definitive answer, which confirms that we do indeed live in unusual times. Stephen Crabb has spent Monday talking to DWP staff in their office at Westminster before confirming the UK government's U-turn on personal independence payments. The U-turn was welcomed by his Labour shadow - Owen Smith - who welcomed him to the new job in Welsh and reminded MPs: "He and I have history at the Wales Office." I interviewed Mr Crabb's successor, Alun Cairns, at Gwydyr House in Whitehall, where three vacant picture hooks confirm the ministerial flux. I asked him how he would do the job differently. "I plan to follow the pragmatic approach that Stephen Crabb followed as secretary of state. I think that worked well both in his relationship with the Welsh Government but also in his relationship with the business sector, with local authorities, with communities across Wales. I want to be a pragmatic secretary of state." The Welsh Government might dispute that view of their relationship but Mr Cairns was later grilled by MPs on the public administration and constitutional affairs committee, of which he was once a member. Its chair, Bernard Jenkin, pointed out that he once wanted to merge the Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland roles in a single office of constitutional affairs - a point that prompted a gulp and nervous laughter from the new cabinet minister. Costs already total nearly £6m for the past seven months. The region also has the highest vacancy rate for senior medical staff in Scotland, with 20 consultant posts currently unfilled. NHS Dumfries and Galloway said it was doing everything possible to recruit permanent staff. Medical director Dr Angus Cameron said more doctors needed to be trained to address what was a national shortage. He said that in the meantime the health board had no option but to foot the bill for temporary cover. "We certainly do have a significant problem at the moment," he admitted. "We have 20 consultant posts that are vacant - they are of course covered by locums or by doctors who have come back in after retirement - but there are still 20 posts that we need to fill. "That is slightly more than 20% of the consultant workforce so that is highly significant." He said there were nationwide and local reasons for the problem. "There are national shortages of consultants in some specialities," he said. "Dumfries and Galloway is also small so we have small departments. "One of the problems with recruiting is that if you have got small departments you are one of three and you are on call every third night for the rest of your life," he said. Dr Cameron said that compared with going to a big hospital in Glasgow where you might be on call "every two weeks for the rest of your life". "So why would you want to come to Dumfries and Galloway?" he asked. "That's a big problem for us." John Downey, 62, from County Donegal, Irish Republic, is accused of killing Roy Bright, Dennis Daly, Simon Tipper and Geoffrey Young. The Household Cavalry members were killed as they rode from their barracks in Knightsbridge. Mr Downey also denied intending to cause an explosion likely to endanger life. The bomb that Mr Downey is charged with planting was the first of two that caused carnage in London on 20 July 1982. In the first incident, a nail bomb in a blue Austin car was detonated as the Household Cavalry members made their way through the park to the Changing of the Guard parade. As well as the four men, seven horses were killed and a number of police officers and civilians were injured. In the second explosion, less than two hours later, seven Royal Green Jackets bandsmen in a Regent's Park bandstand were killed. Mr Downey, who was arrested at Gatwick Airport last May, entered the pleas at the Old Bailey. He remains on conditional bail. It will put the question "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" Voters will have to mark an X in either the 'Remain a member of the European Union' box or the 'Leave the European Union' box.

If you don't have a National Insurance number card, (they were axed in 2011) or the letter that replaced them, the number should be on your payslips, or on official letters regarding benefits or tax credits, or on a student loan application. Once you have registered to vote, there are three ways you can vote in the EU referendum. You might be registered at two addresses but it is a criminal offence to vote more than once. If you move between the registration deadline and polling day, the electoral commission recommends you contact your local electoral services office at your local authority for advice. Search for the right one here. If you're a member of the armed forces, or the spouse or civil partner of someone in the armed forces, you can register to vote as a service voter or as an ordinary voter. If you're based overseas or expect to be posted abroad it makes sense to register as a service voter. This allows you to be registered at a fixed address in the UK even if you move around. Service voter registration lasts for five years. Yes. The Electoral Commission's voting guides come in various formats on their website. There are also various languages. People with a disability can get help completing an application, but the person who wants to register to vote has to make the declaration. In England and Wales, a person with the relevant power of attorney can also make this declaration. The Electoral Commission and Mencap have produced a guide to the EU referendum. You won't be able to vote. No, people cannot be forced to vote. The referendum takes place on Thursday, 23 June 2016, between 07:00 and 22:00 BST. Moray Council has confirmed that bills could rise by as much as 18% this year - which would see the bill for a Band D property increase by £204 a year. It said the move was necessary to protect frontline services. The proposals will be voted on by councillors next month. Moray Council needs to cut spending by £11.9m in 2016/17. But raising council tax rates would result in the Scottish government withholding £1.1m which would have been allocated to the council to offset the freeze, which has been in place across Scotland since 2007. The country's 32 councils have until now complied with the policy and retained the freeze. Moray, which has an independent/Conservative administration, had been facing a financial shortfall of £6.8m for the year ahead. But it said that figure rose to £11.9m following last month's funding allocation announcement by the Scottish government. The council said an 18% rise would see the council tax for an average Band D property increase from £1,135 - where it has been pegged since 2007 - to £1,339. A Band A property would go up from £756 to £892 and a Band H from £2,270 to £2,678. The level of increase which has been proposed would raise £5m next year, with the administration group proposing to take a further £5m from reserves. With savings of £1.9m already identified, the council said it would be able to balance its budget for 2016-17. Council leader Stewart Cree said that there was "no way" of achieving the level of savings required by efficiencies alone. He added: "Equally, we do not believe that the people of Moray should have to see the services and facilities that they cherish so much continue to deteriorate and that is why we have decided to consider increasing council tax to a level that would protect services both now and in the future. "In so doing, we are aware that we will have penalties imposed on us by the Scottish government and we will forfeit the £1.1m that we are currently allocated to offset the council tax freeze. "However in light of the scale of the deficit we are facing, this £1.1m pales into insignificance when the only alternative would be further cuts to services - or even the loss of some services altogether." Mr Cree said he had written to Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney to outline the council's concerns. And said he believed the people of Moray "will understand our dilemma and that they will be prepared to pay a reasonable increase in council tax in order to see their services and facilities maintained". But the leader of the council's SNP group, Gary Coull, said the administration was "once again getting Moray in the national headlines for all the wrong reasons". He added: "This is a massive hike being proposed by the independents and Tiories and will really hit the pockets of Moray people who are already facing high living costs combined with frozen wages". Highland Council's independent-led administration - which needs to save about £50m next year - is also examining whether it should rebel against the council tax freeze by raising bills by 5%. The council's budget chairman, Councillor Bill Fernie, told the Press and Journal newspaper: "We're still firming up what we're going to do and we've got to speak to opposition groups as well. "We would certainly take more confidence if a few more councils around us - for example Moray or Argyll and Bute - were likeminded." Fife Council members are also studying budget proposals, including the possibility of ending the freeze, ahead of a meeting next month. A Scottish government spokesman said it had fully funded the council tax freeze. He added: "Indeed recent independent research found that, compared to inflation, we have over-funded the council tax freeze by £164.9m since 2008. "We have included a further £70m in the coming year's settlement to enable councils to fully meet the costs of a council tax freeze so there is no need for an increase in council tax." But Cosla, which represents most Scottish councils, said the package of measures for local government within Mr Swinney's budget, including the council tax freeze, had been "totally unacceptable". A spokesman added: "We are still in active negotiations with the Scottish government around the 2016/17 settlement." A cross-party commission has recently been established to examine alternatives to council tax and is due to report in autumn 2015, after the Holyrood election in May. All six sites were blocked in May after being accused of infringing copyright by the Spanish anti-piracy federation. The block meant mobile operators and internet service providers (ISPs) in Spain were told to stop letting customers get at the sites. Now a court in Zaragoza has said there were "insufficient grounds" for maintaining the blocks and has called for them to be lifted. The decision should mean that mobile companies and ISPs will lift the blocks in the next few days. The court was considering the blocks after those running some of the accused sites appealed. The sites blocked were SpanishTracker, PCTorrent.com, NewPCT.com, PCTestrenos.com, Descargaya.es and TumejorTV.com. Traffic to sites fell sharply after they were cut off but some of them set up alternative domains and proxies to help regular users get around the block. Spain has been a vigorous pursuer of pirates and has passed tough anti-piracy laws and jailed operators of file-sharing sites. She spoke of a "sense of solidarity" felt in Scotland for people in London. Four people have died after a car was driven at pedestrians near the UK parliament before the occupant jumped out and stabbed a police officer. The Scottish Parliament suspended a debate on an independence referendum following the attack. Ms Sturgeon said: "My thoughts, as I'm sure the thoughts of everybody in Scotland tonight, are with people caught up in this dreadful event. "My condolences in particular go to those who've lost loved ones. "My thoughts are with those who've sustained injuries and we all feel a sense of solidarity with the people of London tonight." She said Scotland would consider whether there were any wider lessons for public safety. The first minister added: "I convened a meeting of the Scottish Government's Resilience Committee to review what is currently known about the incident at Westminster and also to review any implications for Scotland. "(But) it is important to stress that there is no intelligence of any risk to Scotland." The Scottish Parliament had been close to concluding its debate on a call for a referendum on Scottish independence when Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh announced that the sitting would be suspended. He said the incident in London was affecting the contributions of MSPs, and that the debate would resume at another time. A vote had been due to be held at 17:30, but politicians including Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson called for the session to be suspended. Parliament officials initially ruled that the debate should continue as planned, before Mr Macintosh decided that it should be halted. The presiding officer said: "The fact that our sister parliament has had a serious incident is affecting this particular debate, and is affecting the contribution of members. And so it is for that reason we are deciding to suspend the sitting. "We will resume this debate and we will be able to do so in a full and frank manner, but I think to continue at the moment would not allow members to make their contributions in the manner they wish to." A decision on when the debate will resume is expected to be made on Thursday morning. Conservative MSP Fin Carson tweeted ahead of the presiding officer's ruling that he had left the parliament chamber, saying: "I can't understand how this debate can go on. At least a suspension would have shown some respect." However, some politicians were unhappy about the decision to suspend the debate. Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Rumbles was among those to argue it was a "mistake", telling BBC Scotland that had huge sympathy for those affected by the attack, but that: "We should not be giving in to terrorism, and I believe we've done that". Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham was also unhappy with the decision - but was later said to agree entirely after learning the full details of the London attack. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had been expected to win the backing of a majority of MSPs for her plan to ask the UK government for a section 30 order, which would be needed to hold a legally-binding referendum on independence. The UK government has already said it will block the move, and will not enter into any negotiations until after the Brexit process has been completed. An increased police presence could be seen in and around the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood on Wednesday afternoon. An email to MSPs, staff and Holyrood pass-holders from the Scottish Parliament chief executive's office said: "While there is no intelligence to suggest there is a specific threat to Scotland, Edinburgh or Holyrood, we have increased security with immediate effect at the Scottish Parliament as a precaution." Police vehicles were seen outside the parliament building, with a spokesman for Police Scotland saying the force was "liaising with colleagues in London and will ensure appropriate safety and security plans are in place based upon what we know". Homeless people had been camping at Martin Place in central Sydney for more than six months. State legislators argued the camp was unauthorised and compromised public safety. They granted police powers to remove the tents, but residents began leaving pre-emptively on Friday. Some said they had nowhere to go. The man dubbed the unofficial "mayor" of the tent city, Lanz Priestly, said some people would go to "friends' places" or "friends' backyards", but others had no such option. Debate over what to do with the camp had dragged on for months amid a political dispute between the New South Wales state government and Sydney City Council. It also generated wider discussion about homelessness in Sydney, which has the second-worst housing affordability in the world, according to one study. On Wednesday, the state passed new legislation giving police authority to remove those deemed to be obstructing the area. The law came into effect on Friday. "Homelessness is a major challenge in our community and I am proud of our government's record to help our most vulnerable and of course there is more to do," New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said in a statement earlier this week. "However we will not let protesters play political games with those in genuine need of support." Mr Priestly said authorities were not taking the issue of homelessness seriously. "They are not looking at the people - they are looking at the tents," he told Sydney's Daily Telegraph. More than 105,000 people are homeless in the nation, according to Homelessness Australia. It's the first time the pound coin has been changed in more than 30 years. The old coin became a problem as they were easily illegally copied which meant that lots of worthless pound coins have been in circulation. The new coin was announced in 2014 and the Royal Mint, who create the coins, said that this one will be "the most secure coin in the world" making the pound coins harder to illegally copy. The new coins look a lot different to the old ones but that's not the best bit. It has a picture like a hologram that changes from a '£' symbol to the number '1' when the coin is seen from different angles with all sorts of added extras to the way the coin looks. There is even a hidden high-security feature built into the coin to protect it from being illegally copied but the details haven't been made public. The design on the 'tails' side of the coin features four emblems to represent each of the nations of the United Kingdom - the English rose, the leek for Wales, the Scottish thistle, and the shamrock for Northern Ireland - emerging from a single stem within a crown. It was based on artwork by 15-year-old David Pearce, who won the competition to design the new coin. You will still be able to use the round £1 coin until 15th October, after that date they then become worthless. People will have to swap their old coins for new ones at the bank, so get those coins out of your piggy banks! It's thought that around a third of the £1.3 billion worth of coins stored in piggy banks or saving jars around the UK, are the current £1 style. Some of the coins that are returned by the public will be melted down and used to make the new 12-sided version. Media playback is not supported on this device Did all the players do enough to keep their place in Michael O'Neill's team? Or is anyone in danger of dropping to the bench in Lyon? BBC Sport's Lyle Jackson rates the players as Northern Ireland made a first appearance at a major tournament for 30 years: Was called into action late in the first half, doing well to beat away a strong shot by Bartosz Kapustka, and couldn't fault him on Arkadiusz Milik's goal. Hasn't conceded more than one goal in any of his 12 appearances. Deserves a lot of credit for making the leap from League One with Fleetwood Town to playing on the Euro 2016 stage. Many did not expect him to start, but he justified his inclusion. Played his part in an impressive Northern Ireland defensive display, which blunted the threat posed by Europe's leading marksman, Robert Lewandowski. An ever-present in qualifying, he didn't hide his disappointment at the end. The Watford man also contributed to keeping Lewandowski at bay. Picked up a 69th-minute yellow card for bringing down the Bayern Munich danger man. Perhaps the most accomplished of Northern Ireland's defenders, making some important interceptions during a busy opening spell when Poland were piling forward. The 28-year-old's experience in big matches shone through on his 50th appearance. Grew into the game after looking exposed in the early stages. Moved out of defence into a deep midfield role after the break but was replaced by substitute Conor Washington. Having appeared in every match of Northern Ireland's 12-match unbeaten run, he covered plenty of ground and it would be 10 out of 10 for effort. A solid, unfussy contribution from the experienced Derby County man. Put in a huge shift for the cause, operating just in front of the defensive unit. Wasn't the young Manchester United player's day as he struggled to see much of the ball. When manager Michael O'Neill opted to change tactics at half-time, McNair was replaced by Stuart Dallas. The one midfielder who always seemed to have time on the ball, even when Northern Ireland were seriously under pressure. He is a class act and almost grabbed an equaliser, just failing to get on the end of Oliver Norwood's clever free-kick late on. Showed no signs of the groin injury he had sustained earlier in the week. The lone front man was energetic but suffered from a lack of support as NI failed to mount dangerous attacks. Looked good when he came on for McNair at the start of the second half. The Leeds United midfielder may have been disappointed not to start, but has staked a serious claim for inclusion against Ukraine on Thursday. Provided overdue support for Lafferty and helped Northern Ireland produce an improved performance in the final quarter of the match. If O'Neill goes with two strikers against Ukraine, expect to see the Queens Park Rangers forward in the starting line-up. Came on for the last 15 minutes as Northern Ireland attempted to find an equaliser, but didn't manage a telling contribution in the limited time he had. Create leagues and play against your friends in BBC Sport's new Euro 2016 Predictor game Teenager Laura Wolvaardt hit a superb 149 as South Africa made a massive 337-5, their highest one-day total. Ireland struggled in response and could only manage 159-8 in their 50 overs, with Mary Waldron top scoring on 35. It follows defeats by India and Zimbabwe, with the Irish back in action against India on Monday. Wolvaardt's run-a-ball knock included 17 boundaries while Aoife Beggs was the best of the Irish bowlers with 3-64. Malahide opener Waldron shared a 51-run stand for the second wicket with Laura Delany (23), who made her 100th international appearance, as Ireland slumped to a third straight defeat. Describing the €82bn-€86bn (£59bn-£62bn) in-principle bailout agreement in return for stringent austerity reforms as "reasonable", the conservative Spanish leader said that "Europe has shown great solidarity with Greece". But does Mr Rajoy have other reasons to celebrate, notably a political victory over the Greek anti-austerity Syriza government that may help his Popular Party (PP) secure a second term in Spanish elections at the end of this year? Mr Rajoy's term in office has seen the powerful rise of leftist anti-austerity party Podemos, which has galvanised a popular challenge to the government's insistence that tough economic medicine and tight spending controls are the only way for Spain to emerge from its own financial and economic meltdown. Unemployment reached 27% at the start of 2013 before falling back to the current rate of 22%. Spain, which received a eurozone bailout for its crippled banking sector in 2012, has been on the receiving end of its own dose of austerity medicine from Europe since the PSOE socialist government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was required to cut pensions and state workers' salaries back in 2010. When Syriza won January's Greek elections, Podemos too seemed to be on the crest of an unstoppable wave against austerity politics in Spain only a year after being formed. When Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias travelled to Athens to join Syriza's Alexis Tsipras for his final campaign rally, the Spanish radical party was leading the polls with 28% support. Mr Iglesias said then that Mr Tsipras' victory signalled "the failure of austerity politics" and that Greece would now have "a real Greek prime minister and not a delegate of Angela Merkel". But the way the Syriza government caved in to pressure from eurozone leaders led by Germany's Chancellor, Mrs Merkel, may have burst Podemos's bubble. Podemos, challenged by the rise of another new anti-corruption party, the centrist Citizens, has slipped to third place on just 18%, according to a poll published by the newspaper El Pais last weekend. The poll put the PSOE in the lead on 23.5% with the PP on 23%. Marleen Rueda, 48, a consultant on international labour issues, from Madrid, says her enthusiasm for Podemos as a potential force for change has been jolted. "What the Greek deal has done is to pour cold water over any hopes that there could be a change of European policy," she says. "This has killed people's hopes. "The emerging parties like Podemos have no sway in the formulation of European policy. "I don't feel as a citizen that I can have any influence. "Parties like Podemos led us to believe that they could change things in Europe, but this is not the reality." Ms Rueda, who sees the new bailout deal as a "punishment for the Greeks", adds: "Europe does not want any voices which question the sole European policy of austerity to emerge. "It is an imposition by Europe which snubs a democratically elected government." Podemos, which has pledged to review Spain's ballooning public debt, decries what it considers a bad deal for Greece and a blow to democracy. But Pablo Bustinduy, Podemos's international relations spokesman, believes Spaniards realise the fight against austerity is only just beginning and Spain is in a far stronger position than Greece to win it. "The circumstances of the two countries are tremendously different," he says. "Spain has not been formally bailed out and represents 11% of the eurozone economy compared to Greece's 2%. "There will be a reaction; this is just the first stage, and there will be more battles." As Podemos sees its grip on the Spanish electorate weaken, Jose Ignacio Torreblanca, head of the Madrid office of the European Council on Foreign Relations, believes the party has decided to cut itself free from its emotional connection with the Syriza government. "In light of Tsipras's disastrous management of relations with the eurozone and the punishing deal finally reached, Podemos has subtly begun to distance itself from Greece," he says. Mr Torreblanca, who has written a book on Podemos entitled Asaltar Los Cielos (Storm The Heavens), notes the party that greeted Syriza's electoral triumphs with euphoria is now choosing to ignore Mr Tsipras's pragmatic shift to the centre. "They have cooled the rhetoric on Greece as Rajoy tries to turn the spotlight on the chaos outside Greek banks and how something similarly catastrophic could happen in Spain if Podemos comes to power." Ahmed Musse, 32, died in hospital after he was found with leg wounds at Sporhams, Basildon, at about 22:00 BST on 26 August last year. He was described by his family as "a cherished son, brother, uncle, cousin, fiancé and friend". The four men will be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on 19 April. They are Hussain Ahmed, 23, of Bacon Street, London; Mohammed Ahmed, 23, of Jamaica Street, London; Abdul Salah, 20, of York Avenue, Middlesex, and Jake Rowlands, 25, of no fixed address. A fifth man, Gary Goodwin, 36, of Princes Close, Laindon, admitted conspiracy to rob Mr Musse. All have been remanded in custody. Staff walked out of the jail in Hammersmith and Fulham, west London, on Friday after recent incidents of alleged assaults by inmates. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "All officers at HMP Wormwood Scrubs have now returned to work and the prison is running a normal regime." A recent inspection report sparked claims of "Dickensian squalor". On Friday Mike Rolfe, of the Prison Officers' Association, said there had been a number of assaults on staff and the jail was "flooded with drugs, mobile phones and weapons". He becomes boss Paul Hurst's first signing at Shrewsbury, having previously played for him at Grimsby. Nsiala, 24, who left the Mariners to join Pools in June, has made 25 appearances this season. "I think he's someone who can step up the levels and be a big asset for this football club," said Hurst. Shrewsbury are waiting for confirmation from the English Football League as to whether Nsiala will be able to make his debut in Monday's League One game against Fleetwood Town.

Anglo had announced a major restructuring plan and said it was suspending its dividend until the end of next year. Mining shares have been hit by falling commodity prices, with iron ore prices at 10-year lows. The FTSE 100 index ended the day down 8.5 points at 6,126.6 points. Glencore rose 4.6%, Rio Tinto was 1.1% higher and BHP Billiton was up 2.4%. Among the other mining firms, shares in Fresnillo dropped 0.9% after it said a pipeline had burst at its Saucito mine in Mexico. However, the firm said it would not suspend production at the mine. Shares in equipment hire group Ashtead were the biggest riser, jumping 6.9%, after it said strong demand in the US meant its annual results should now be better than previously forecast. Analysts had expected Ashtead to report full-year pre-tax profits of £608m for the year to April. On the FTSE 250, shares in Entertainment One, the owner of the Peppa Pig children's TV character, rebounded 10.7% after the company said it was trading in line with its full-year guidance.

Liesl Tesch said a man brandishing a gun pushed her off her bicycle and stole it on Sunday. Australian Paralympic team physiotherapist Sarah Ross also lost her bicycle in the attack. The Australian Olympic Committee has said Rio must improve security in the city in the aftermath of the robbery. Chef de Mission Kitty Chiller said: "We're demanding that the level of security forces, which number about 100,000, is reviewed and also we are also asking that they are deployed earlier prior to Games time, especially around training and competition venues. "It's not an isolated incident. It's got to a point now that steps and measures are taken to ensure that all our team members who go to Rio for the Olympic Games next month are safe." Tesch, who has won medals in wheelchair basketball and sailing, said athletes needed to be on their guard. The 47-year-old, who described the incident as "absolutely horrific", said the two men who robbed her and Ms Ross initially demanded money. When Tesch she told the gunman that she didn't have any money, "he just pushed me on the shoulder with his bare hand and I just fell down on the cobblestones," she told Australia's Seven Network. The two women were training near Flamengo Beach. Tesch said several people saw the incident but no-one came to their aid. Brazilian authorities insist that the Olympic and Paralympic Games in August will be safe for athletes and tourists, with 85,000 soldiers and police officers deployed in Rio. But recent reports have indicated an upswing in crime. Three members of the Spanish Olympics sailing team were robbed at gunpoint while walking through the city in May. Rio State Security Secretary José Beltrame told the Washington Post that a recession and police funding problem had contributed to the issue. Mr Beltrame said the funding issues were being solved and insisted that Rio was ready to host the Olympics. Concerns over the Zika virus have also weighed heavily on Rio's Olympic preparations, but authorities insist proper precautions are in place.

An Australian athlete who has competed in six Paralympic Games has been robbed at gunpoint in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.

Many Ballater homes and businesses were badly affected when the River Dee burst its banks in December as Storm Frank battered Scotland. The venture - aimed at training young people in the kitchen and attracting visitors - is named the Rothesay Rooms. Prince Charles is known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland. The "pop-up" initiative, to breathe new life into the derelict former Co-op on Netherley Place, is part of Prince Charles' Ballater Flood Appeal, which has raised £160,000 since launching in January. Guests at Tuesday night's opening included private donors who contributed to the flood appeal, and local business owners and councillors. Prince Charles said the whole idea for the project stemmed from a comment made by local butcher, Barry Florence, following the floods. He said that Mr Florence had asked him "why don't you put a Highgrove Shop in Ballater?" HRH said: "That is what really started this whole idea. It was entirely due to my going into Sheridan's butchers to see how they were getting on. "There has been a lot of effort in the last six months or so since the disastrous floods that did so much damage to poor old Ballater." Guy Fenton - who will be head chef for the first six months of the enterprise - said the focus would be on "sustainability" and locally-sourced produce. The restaurant will open in November to allow for staff recruitment. The attached Highgrove Shop will open at the end of this month. The cost of the Ballater floods clear-up ran into millions of pounds, much of which was for repairing and refurbishing flood-damaged council houses.

Prince Charles has officially opened his own restaurant and gift shop in an Aberdeenshire village which was badly hit by floods.

Gordon Strachan's side, who are in the same group as England, face Malta away on Sunday in their opening qualifier. "We've got to be confident we're going to win the group," said former Scotland striker McFadden, who won 48 caps and scored 15 goals for his country between 2002 and 2010. "We've got to believe or we're as well not turning up." Scotland finished fourth in their Euro 2016 qualifying group, with the three sides above them - Germany, Poland and the Republic of Ireland - all progressing to this summer's finals. In the nine World Cup qualifying groups made up of Uefa nations, group winners will gain automatic places in the 2018 finals in Russia while the eight best runners-up will enter two-legged play-offs for the four remaining qualification spots. As well as Malta and England, Scotland will play Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia in Group F. "It'll be tough, because there are some tough teams in it, but we've got to express ourselves and do better than we did in the last group," said McFadden, 33. "We need the injection of youth but there are a few players there who could be looking at it and thinking this could be their last chance, so it's got to be the point where we step up and take it to the teams in the group." McFadden, who is assistant manager at Motherwell in addition to playing, never formally retired from international duty but said of his Scotland career: "I would say that's it done. "The fact that in the last few years I've not been involved would tell you it's not going to happen again. "I got 48 [caps], I'm happy. I'm not going to start moaning that I never got another two. "Before I started my career I'd have taken a minute on the pitch and that would have been enough for me." The child, who has not been named, was playing in a grassy area of Derwent Drive, Northampton when the crash happened on Monday, police said. The moped rider reportedly failed to stop at the scene. Detectives investigating the incident said "emotions are running high in the community" and confirmed that an arrest has been made. The injured boy is being treated at Northampton General Hospital. Read more Northamptonshire stories here Det Insp Mark Hopkinson, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was an extremely serious incident and our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time. "We realise that emotions are running high in the local community. "We have one individual in custody and we are progressing several lines of inquiry. We are working closely with the family." Specialist investigators were drafted in to work on the inquiry. Mr Hopkinson added: "We would strongly urge people to refrain from making threats and accusations which could constitute offences in themselves, and much worse, if inaccurate, could undermine any investigation or even court proceedings in future. "If you have seen something or heard something, please speak to our community teams on the ground." Figures from the RBS Group seen by BBC Radio 5 live show the extent to which victims are losing out to scammers. From January to September this year almost 5,000 of the bank's customers fell victim to various scams - at a total cost of more than £25m. The bank says the average cost of falling for a scam has gone up by 40% since 2014, to more than £13,000. The rate at which people are suffering frauds like this is increasing according to the bank, with 900 cases reported in the third week of October alone - compared with 739 for the whole of September. Conservative MP Mark Garnier, a member of the Commons Treasury Select Committee, said: "It is interesting that overall crime is going down, but we still clearly don't know what is happening with crime online." Customers of Natwest, part of the RBS Group, who have been scammed are most frequently caught out by "vishing" - verbal phishing - where they are tricked into giving their account details during a telephone call. "The problem with complaints where consumers have been conned in to making the transactions on the fraudster's behalf is the bank is not generally responsible for the fraud, unless their advice, delays or other errors have resulted in the money being stolen. "Some banks may make a pragmatic decision to refund some of their customers where they have clearly been defrauded. However, when this happens, it is important to bear in mind that they are under no obligation to do so. "Where consumers have not authorised transfers - for example where their card has been stolen or they have been tricked in to handing over passwords or codes allowing the fraudster to make the transactions themselves, the regulations say that the bank can only debit the consumers account if they have been 'grossly negligent'." Some customers are also increasingly falling victim to so-called romance scams, where the victim is befriended online and then conned into handing over money. Mr Garnier added: "There is obviously a huge crime wave that isn't being reported, either people aren't aware, or are embarrassed to report it." Terry Lawson, head of fraud at RBS, told BBC Radio 5 live: "These figures show that the threat of scams is growing. "The means by which fraudsters trick individuals into parting with their money is becoming more sophisticated, but it always ultimately depends on the individual transferring money out of their account. "We would never contact a customer asking them to transfer money. If a customer of any bank is contacted by someone asking them to do this they should simply end the conversation and report the matter to the police." Customers' bank account and sort code details were put at risk by the recent alleged cyber attack on TalkTalk. The telecoms company said the attack was "smaller" than originally thought, but that bank details may have been accessed. An inquiry into the hack will be launched by Jesse Norman, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. Organisations, including the Scottish Chambers of Commerce and Scottish Engineering, have called for a "fundamental and comprehensive" review of business rates to boost Scotland's "underperforming" economy. The county's politicians offered up a range of policies to boost business while campaigning ahead of May's Holyrood election. Nicola Sturgeon pledged to help firms thrive with "competitive" rates while addressing an audience of business leaders in Glasgow. The SNP leader said "government and business need to work with a shared purpose". She said: "An SNP government would do everything it could to help businesses thrive in Scotland - with competitive business rates, major investment in infrastructure and raising attainment, and a drive to break down barriers in education". Ms Sturgeon also pledged support for start-ups and expanding firms along with female entrepreneurs, saying the country could only reach its full potential "when the glass ceiling has been firmly broken". Kezia Dugdale said Labour did not have plans to reduce business rates, but would retain the small business bonus scheme. The Scottish Labour leader said: "I'm travelling the country just now speaking to businesses all the time and the number one thing they want with regard to business rates is a sense of transparency, that they know what they're paying for. And our manifesto is committed to providing that transparency and that security about the years ahead." "We want to support businesses to grow. We have no plans to reduce business rates, but we are saying, however, that we would maintain the small business bonus scheme, and that we would provide a greater degree of transparency about the business rate mechanism." Ms Dugdale also promoted Labour's plans to build 60,000 homes over the course of the next parliament, including 45,000 affordable ones for social rent. Ruth Davidson criticised the amount of tax the Scottish government has been taking from businesses. The Scottish Conservative leader said income from business rates alone had increased 42% since the SNP came to power, which she said impacted on employment. She said: "Money which could be used to employ a new member of staff or take on an apprentice is going straight to John Swinney." Ms Davidson was campaigning aboard the Sir Walter Scott Steamship at Loch Katrine. Willie Rennie said the best way to support businesses was to provide them with a skilled workforce. The Lib Dem leader said better education was "the biggest thing the state can provide towards the economy", but also said there should be a "thorough review" of business rates. Visiting a nursery with UK party leader Tim Farron, Mr Rennie also stressed his plans to invest more in schools and nurseries. He said: "We want Scotland to be the best again - we need to invest in nursery education, so we can get Scotland's education back up to being the best in the world." Caroline Lucas, the only Green MP at Westminster, spent the day campaigning alongside Green candidates in Scotland. She joined Alison Johnstone and Andy Wightman at a nursery in Ediburgh, where they painted a map of Scotland green alongside local children. Ms Lucas then took part in a demonstration against fracking in Falkirk, before heading to Glasgow to campaign alongside Scottish Green co-convenor Patrick Harvie. Ms Lucas was arrested during an anti-fracking protest in West Sussex in 2013, and talked to campaigners in Falkirk about her experience while lending her support to their efforts. The Tories took Worcester City Council, Herefordshire Council and East Staffordshire, all previously under no overall control. The party also made gains in North Warwickshire from Labour, while Labour lost overall control in Stoke-on-Trent. However, Labour retained control of the city councils of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry. Labour gained two seats in Birmingham, while the party retained control in Wolverhampton, Dudley and Sandwell, where the only Conservative councillor, Anne Hughes, lost her seat. The leader of Birmingham, Sir Albert Bore, said the general election result was bad news for Birmingham. "We have taken out £100m of the budget this year," he said. "If I look at the Conservative manifesto for this election, there are £2.5bn of cuts they are going to introduce. They haven't told us where those cuts are going to come." While Labour lost overall control of Walsall, it remains the largest party. The Conservatives increased their majority in Solihull and retained control of the councils of Stratford-on-Avon and Rugby in Warwickshire, while they gained control of North Warwickshire Borough Council from Labour and Warwick, which was previously under no overall control. In Coventry, Labour retained control. In Worcester, the Conservatives took 18 of the 35 seats to win the council. Council leader Simon Geraghty said: "It's fantastic to be able to lead a council with an overall majority once again." Herefordshire Council also moved into Conservative control. However, confusion over how many candidates people could vote for has meant the Saxongate ward election has been declared void and there will be a by-election. Bromsgrove, Wyre Forest, Malvern Hills and Wychavon remained Conservative. However, Labour maintained overall control of Redditch despite the Conservatives gaining four seats. On Telford and Wrekin Council, Labour lost overall control but remain the largest party. In Staffordshire, Labour lost control of Stoke-on-Trent. The City Independents, the Conservatives and UKIP may now try to form a coalition. Conservative leader Abi Brown said: "We are absolutely delighted we have picked up another five seats." The Conservatives retained control of Lichfield, Stafford, South Staffordshire and Tamworth and gained control of East Staffordshire and Staffordshire Moorlands. Labour retained control of Cannock Chase, despite losing three seats, while Newcastle-under-Lyme remained under no overall control. The Conservatives retained control of Cheshire East with leader Michael Jones, who kept his seat, saying he was "leading by example". The Englishman, appointed earlier this month, said that he was looking for "warriors" for next month's opening Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Nigeria. Baxter named 25 players for the match in Uyo on 10 June - a tough start for Bafana Bafana in their bid to qualify for the 2019 finals in Cameroon after missing out on this year's tournament in Gabon. Baxter picked only two players from his own club SuperSport United, who he leaves on June 24. He is juggling both jobs at the moment, missing on the club's trip to Gabon for their African Confederation Cup assignment on Tuesday so he could concentrate on picking the Bafana Bafana squad. There are six Europe-based players, including recalls for stylish midfielder Bongani Zungu, who is set to play in the Portuguese Cup final on Sunday for Vitoria Guimaraes, and striker Tokelo Rantie, who scored twice in Uyo in November 2014. "We have players who have been outstanding in the Premier Soccer League the whole season, and we also have continuity with a number of players that Safa has invested much time in. I believe we have a good mix," said Baxter, who is back as coach for a second time. He added: "We have also looked at aerial strength and tried to spread that well throughout the team; it means if we can have good preparation before we go, then we have a squad that is capable of giving Nigeria a good game." South Africa have never beaten the Super Eagles in a competitive international but in the 2015 Nations Cup qualifiers gave away a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw. Squad: Goalkeepers: Darren Keet (Bidvest Wits), Itumeleng Khune (Kaizer Chiefs), Ronwen Williams (SuperSport United) Defenders: Rivaldo Coetzee (Ajax Cape Town), Lorenzo Gordinho (Kaizer Chiefs), Sifiso Hlanti, Thulani Hlatshwayo (both Bidvest Wits), Tebego Langerman (Mamelodi Sundowns), Mulomowandau Mathoho (Kaizer Chiefs), Abubakar Mobara (Orlando Pirates), Ramahlwe Mphahlele (Kaizer Chiefs) Midfielders: Keegan Dolly (Montpellier, France), Dean Furman (SuperSport United), Andile Jali (Oostende, Belgium), Hlompho Kekana (Mamelodi Sundowns), Kamohelo Mokotjo (Twente Enschede, Netherlands), Aubrey Ngoma (Cape Town City), Bongani Zungu (Vitoria Guimaraes, Portugal), Themba Zwane (Mamelodi Sundowns) Forwards: Kermit Erasmus (Racing Lens, France), Thamsanqa Gabuza (Orlando Pirates), Lebogang Manyama (Cape Town City), Tokelo Rantie (Genclerbirligi, Turkey), Percy Tau, Sibusiso Vilakazi (both Mamelodi Sundowns). Newcastle City Council intends to fund 449 properties with the allocation, which it says is the largest in the north-east of England. Cabinet member for housing, Jane Streather, said they wanted to create "sustainable and balanced communities". The different types of accommodation planned include shared ownership and rent-to-buy. Housing for older people and those with disabilities or other care needs are also proposed. The council has prepared council-owned land for development, "encouraging investment and minimising the risk for developers", it said. However, some communities in places like High West Jesmond and Kenton have protested against the allocation of green space in the city for housing. The £11.8m funding comes from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) which has already allocated money for affordable homes such as bungalows at Daisy Hill in Walkergate. Ms Streather said new homes for vulnerable residents would "allow those with care needs to live independently, easing the pressure on care budgets". The 42-year-old, who remains the most successful jump jockey of all time, bowed out of the sport in April 2015. He spent decades dieting to keep trim for races and once said his Christmas dinner consisted of just 597 calories. He now confesses to a weakness for chocolate biscuits but said a recent health check has made him rethink. "There's nights I would eat the whole packet... it is not something I am proud of," McCoy said. "For someone that had pretty good willpower it is not anywhere near as good as it used to be." McCoy, from Moneyglass, County Antrim, was renowned for his determination and dedication over the course of his record-breaking career. He won more than 4,000 races, and was crowned champion jockey 20 years in a row. Keeping hold of that crown involved keeping his body weight well below what would be considered average for a man of his height - 5ft 10in (1.8m) He maintained a thin frame of about 10 st 3lbs (65kg) with a punishing regime of meagre portions - often missing dinner three nights a week - and hot baths to sweat off the pounds. Life has been sweeter since he retired, but McCoy will now revert to watching his diet after a recent health check warned of the risks of high cholesterol and blood sugar. "When I was racing I was unhealthy looking," he said. "Everybody tells me now I am healthy looking but yet there are things I need to keep an eye on like my cholesterol, the possibility of diabetes." Back in 2010, his low-calorie Christmas dinner consisted of three thinly sliced pieces of turkey breast, a spoonful of cabbage, three Brussels sprouts, a splash of gravy and a small lemonade. "I never mind having a frugal Christmas dinner as I'm always looking forward to some great rides on Boxing Day," he said at the time. "What I do enjoy is seeing Mick Fitzgerald and Carl Llewellyn loosening their belts before they struggle home. I just can't imagine bursting out of my clothes like those two do." The retired champion may have needed to pile on a few pounds, but McCoy now intends to monitor his food intake as "prevention is so much better than any cure". "I spent all my life dieting but it is something I actually do need," he said. "Because my body was so used to that I cannot really let my lifestyle change too much. I am two stone heavier than I was a year and a half ago." The singer is in dispute with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie over where the teenager should live. Hearings have been held in both New York and London, but Madonna recently asked London's High Court to bring the English proceedings to a close. The pop star told the judge she wanted to "heal the wounds" opened by the dispute. Mr Justice MacDonald ruled on Monday the English proceedings could be halted. Rocco had lived with Madonna since her divorce from Guy Ritchie in 2008 - but he abruptly left his mother while on tour in Europe late last year. He then moved in with his father and step-mother, model Jacqui Ainsley, in London and enrolled in school. Madonna had accused Ritchie of "illegally retaining" the teenager. The case will now return to New York, where a judge ruled last December that Rocco should be returned to his mother's custody. That ruling was ignored - and Madonna's lawyers suggested Ritchie be arrested for contempt of court and compelled to appear in New York. State Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan dismissed the plan, and implored the parents to reach an amicable solution. "No one is disrupting his household other than the inability of the parents to reach a resolution," she said. "If they cannot resolve this matter then eventually the court will." She also scolded the couple for seeking to resolve the matter through the courts, and urged them to take "this tremendous pressure" off their son. "Frankly, both parties here have chosen to live their lives in a very public way, and may welcome the exposure, but the child has not," she said. "I urge them to consider what is the best interests of their son - which may be to remove him from the spotlight." After the hearing in New York, Madonna's lawyers filed a motion at the family division of London's High Court under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. There, the judge echoed the words of his New York counterpart, urging Ritchie and Madonna to reach an "amicable settlement" to this "highly unfortunate and deeply regrettable" family dispute. Madonna later sought to withdraw her application. Judge Alistair MacDonald said he would consider the evidence before deciding whether he should allow English proceedings to draw to a close - or whether he should make decisions about Rocco's welfare. The court was told the affair had been upsetting for the teenager. "Having this order over his head is stressful and upsetting to him," said Rocco's lawyer, Ellen Sigal. Handing down his ruling on Monday, the judge again appealed to the family to resolve their differences. "At the root of these proceedings... is a temporary breakdown in trust," he said. "For all the media coverage, comment and analysis, this is a case born out of circumstances that arise for countless separated parents the world over. "I renew, one final time, my plea for the parents to seek, and to find, an amicable resolution to the dispute between them." Neither Madonna nor Ritchie attended the hearing. Lawyers for the couple said they had both outlined proposals for negotiation. Connect Assist will take on 12 staff to run the £2m Veterans' Gateway at Nantgarw, near Cardiff. Advice on housing, finance and health will be on offer, pointing veterans to the relevant charities and support. Veterans Minister Tobias Ellwood said it drew together "all facets of support" for veterans and families. Connect Assist already runs a helpline for the Royal British Legion, which led the consortium launching the new service. The Ministry of Defence, armed forces charity SSAFA, Combat Stress and Poppyscotland are also involved. Veterans are among the people being hired to offer support to those contacting the service. "The vast majority of our people make a smooth transition from military to civilian life," Mr Ellwood said. "But the Veterans' Gateway provides extra support in the form of a staffed, 24-hour, one-stop-shop offering guidance on housing and employment, finance, mental and physical health. "Our £2 million investment honours the nation's Armed Forces Covenant and draws all facets of support for our Armed Forces community together for the first time." The service has been set up in response to Lord Ashcroft's 2014 Veterans' Transition Review, which reported people's confusion about who they should turn to for help. Charles Byrne, director general of the Royal British Legion, said: "Veterans' Gateway will make it easier for them to get the support they need, from whoever is best able to provide it. "No matter how complex their needs, working together we can do more." Media playback is not supported on this device The 20-year-old's inclusion is the only change to the starting XV that lost 24-21 to New Zealand last weekend. Harlequins wing Marland Yarde is promoted to the replacements' bench. Second row Courtney Lawes and hooker Dylan Hartley have passed tests for concussion to retain their places. Flanker Tom Wood has also overcome injury, while Kyle Eastmond has shaken off illness to resume his centre partnership alongside Brad Barritt. Eastmond's recovery means coach Stuart Lancaster is spared the choice between recalling Billy Twelvetrees in midfield and shuffling Owen Farrell from fly-half to inside centre to bring in George Ford at 10. While Saturday will be Watson's first international start, he began the tour match against provincial side Crusaders in New Zealand last summer, scoring an impressive long-range try in a 38-7 win. He has scored one try - in the first minute of the season-opening win over Sale - for his club this season. "Anthony has been pushing hard for a while and has been in impressive form for Bath and in training with us," said head coach Stuart Lancaster. "It was great that he got on against New Zealand and we feel he is ready to start. "He has all the physical and technical ability without a doubt. He is strong, tall, good in the air, he has got pace and good footwork, but he has only got one cap. "With all players you have to layer on that experience and hopefully in seven or eight years time we will be sat here and he will have won fifty or sixty caps." England face an experienced Springboks matchday squad that can boast 1,011 Test caps and includes five players who played in the 2007 Rugby World Cup final. That Springbok victory was one of 10 in the teams' past 11 meetings, with only a 14-14 draw in Port Elizabeth in 2012 breaking the run of South African dominance. The current Springbok squad will arrive at Twickenham on the back of a shock 29-15 defeat by an under-strength Ireland, a month after the Boks ended New Zealand's 22-match unbeaten run. England captain Chris Robshaw believes that facing South Africa is "probably the most physical game you play". "With both sides losing last weekend, I'm sure the intensity and physicality will be right up there this weekend," he added. England team to face South Africa: Mike Brown (Harlequins); Anthony Watson (Bath), Brad Barritt (Saracens), Kyle Eastmond (Bath), Jonny May (Gloucester); Owen Farrell (Saracens), Danny Care (Harlequins); Joe Marler (Harlequins), Dylan Hartley (Northampton), David Wilson (Bath), Dave Attwood (Bath), Courtney Lawes (Northampton), Tom Wood (Northampton), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Billy Vunipola (Saracens) Replacements Rob Webber (Bath), Matt Mullan (Wasps), Kieran Brookes (Newcastle), George Kruis (Saracens), Ben Morgan (Gloucester), Ben Youngs (Leicester), George Ford (Bath), Marland Yarde (Harlequins) The world number two, 18, shot a final-round one-under-par 71 to win by four strokes from American Stacy Lewis, with Norway's Suzann Pettersen third. Henderson, winner of June's Women's PGA Championship, finished on 14 under. American Austin Ernst shared fourth with Colombia's Mariajo Uribe, who was in contention for much of the last day.

Media playback is not supported on this device Park shot a final-round 66 to finish on 16 under, five clear of world number one Lydia Ko of New Zealand. China's Shanshan Feng took bronze, a shot further back on 10 under par. Hull carded a three-under-par round of 68 to finish tied for seventh on eight under as women's golf returned to the Games for the first time since 1900. Catriona Matthew of Great Britain finished on level par, 29th overall. Japan's Harukyo Nomura, American Stacy Lewis and South Korea's Hee Young Yang shared fourth place on nine under. Park, a seven-time major winner, had not competed in top-level competition for two months and missed the past two majors on the LPGA Tour because of a thumb injury. However, the 28-year-old took a two-shot lead into the final round and was six clear after a hat-trick of birdies from the third and another on the eighth, before Feng closed the gap with a birdie on the 10th. Her advantage was reduced to three shots when Park bogeyed the 10th as Feng birdied the 11th in the group ahead. But birdies on the 13th, 15th and 17th all but sealed victory - and saw the focus switch to the battle for silver and bronze, in which New Zealander Ko prevailed with a birdie on the 18th. Britain's Hull was within a shot of the bronze-medal position after a birdie on the 11th, but three-putted the 13th and was unable to pick up any shots until a two-putt birdie on the last. "I was quite happy with the way I finished," said the 20-year-old. "Especially on the back nine I gave myself plenty of opportunities, I just didn't hole them. "I missed one short putt, which was a bit silly, but apart from that I feel like my game is in good shape. "My first Olympics was a fantastic experience and I got a good buzz off it." Team-mate Matthew, from Scotland, shot a final round of 70. "Today I was never really in with a chance for a medal so it was just trying to play good golf and try something different with my putting to help that. It was nice to finish with a good round. "It has been a great golf course for such a new course and it has played really well. It has been great being at the Olympics. I have loved it. "Hopefully golf will stay in the Olympics and we'll get to watch it a few more times." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Ken Skates told BBC Radio Wales there had to be a balance between profit and audience participation. Tournament chief executive John Feehan told the Daily Telegraph he was prepared to consider all options when the current BBC deal runs out in 2017. Sky Sports chief Barney Francis said pay-TV firms were investing in sport. Responding to a question about the possibility of the rights being sold to a pay-TV organisation, Mr Skates said: "I think it would be incredibly dangerous for the Welsh psyche. "It's part of our culture to have the Six Nations for free - why put the tournament at risk in this way?" Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies also called for the games to remain on free-to-air TV, describing Six Nations rugby as "one of the crown jewels" of British sport. "It would be a hammer blow to fans if the Six Nations were no longer available to the masses on terrestrial TV, and the chief executive of the Six Nations should consider the impact on grassroots sport of moving behind a paywall," he said. However, Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said that pay-TV companies such as his were investing in British sport and denied that they were to blame for any decline in grassroots participation. "We're fooling ourselves if we think free-to-air coverage is a panacea to such a broad social issue," he wrote in The Daily Telegraph. "On the contrary, reaching for a simplistic solution would not only fail to fix the problem, it would undermine the funding that is vital for a healthy and sustainable future for sport. "Investment is what's needed to nurture inspiration and see that it endures." Rob Wilson, a sports finance expert from Sheffield Hallam University, told BBC Radio Wales that while sports could gain "tens of millions of pounds" from selling rights to pay-TV, smaller audiences could hit their revenue from advertisers. Broadcasting is not devolved, but Welsh ministers became involved in a similar debate in 2009. At that time, then First Minister Rhodri Morgan urged the UK government to make sure Six Nations matches were always shown live on terrestrial TV. Abdirahman Abdirizak Mahmoud Adam, 22, died in hospital after he was discovered in St Matthews Way, Leicester, on Monday afternoon. Leicestershire Police wants to trace anyone who may have inadvertently recorded events surrounding the attack on CCTV, dashcams or smart phones. A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The force are trying to establish whether Mr Adam sustained his injuries in the street or elsewhere. Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands Det Ch Insp David Swift-Rollinson said officers have been trawling through CCTV in the area, but appealed to the owners of private CCTV cameras. He said: "We would ask anyone who owns CCTV or has dashcams in their vehicles, to check whether they have captured any footage from Monday afternoon, which may assist with our investigation." He added that a number of people could have witnessed what happened. It has not yet been revealed how Mr Adam died. In an article, the paper's former editor compared the Everton midfielder, who has a grandfather born in Nigeria, to a "gorilla". Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson said it was a "racial slur... and something we won't tolerate". Mr MacKenzie has been approached for a comment but is currently on holiday. Previously, he said in a statement it was "beyond parody" to describe his column as "racist". A spokesman for Merseyside Police said their investigation was on-going and they would be speaking to relevant witnesses. In his column in The Sun, published on 14 April, Mr MacKenzie said looking at Barkley's eyes gave him a "similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo". He also said that men with similar "pay packets" in Liverpool are "drug dealers" and in prison. Alongside the article, The Sun published an image of a gorilla next to a picture of the midfielder who was attacked in a Liverpool bar. The Sun, which suspended its former editor, apologised "for the offence caused" adding it was "unaware of Barkley's heritage". "The views expressed by Kelvin MacKenzie about the people of Liverpool were wrong, unfunny and are not the view of the paper. "Mr MacKenzie is currently on holiday and the matter will be fully investigated on his return." Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson said he made a complaint to police and reported the article to the Independent Press Standards Organisation. In comments to Liverpool City Council's cabinet earlier, Mr Anderson said "Merseyside police are investigating and will be interviewing the person concerned. "This has been a continuous attack from this individual and a racial slur on one of the sons of this city and something we won't tolerate." Staff and volunteers at Felbrigg Hall, a stately home in Norfolk, were asked to wear badges and lanyards in support of an LGBTQ campaign. But 30 of the 350 volunteers were offered duties away from the public after choosing not to wear them. In a statement, the trust said it would now be an "optional" decision. A spokesman also confirmed all volunteers could resume their public-facing roles and it was "business as usual". The row was sparked following the National Trust's Prejudice and Pride campaign to mark the 50th anniversary of homosexuality being decriminalised. As part of the campaign the conservation charity is holding an exhibition at the estate, including a film, which reveals Felbrigg's last lord, Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer, was gay, which was known by close friends. However, in an article in the Telegraph last week, the lord's godchildren criticised the move, saying it was unfair of the organisation to "out" someone who chose to keep his sexuality secret. Several volunteers on the estate were reported to have agreed with them. The National Trust had initially said it was committed to promoting equality and inclusion and in a letter to Saturday's Telegraph its director general Dame Helen Ghosh said anyone who did not agree with the campaign was "free to step back from the volunteer role or take a different role for the duration". However, the organisation later released a statement saying it was now "making it clear to volunteers that the wearing of the badge is optional and a personal decision". The statement added: "We are aware some volunteers had conflicting, personal opinions about wearing the rainbow lanyards and badges. "That was never our intention." Dame Helen said the National Trust was marking the anniversary of the law change at "a dozen or so of our properties of the people who lived there and whose personal lives were outside the social norms of their time". She said the film and exhibition about Lord Ketton-Cremer were "sensitive, respectful and celebratory". Its 10th awards in London honoured individuals and organisations that have made "outstanding contributions" to the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Owens, 44, tweeted that he was "truly humbled and honoured" by the award. He refereed the Rugby World Cup final, won by New Zealand 34-17 over Australia at Twickenham on Saturday. His next appointment is a more low-key affair when he officiates a match between two village teams in Swansea on Saturday. Owens, from Mynyddcerrig in Carmarthenshire, recently talked about the private struggle with his sexuality in a BBC programme, True to Myself. Did you like this story?

Martyn Waghorn slammed the visitors ahead, and made it 3-2 at the interval after Aiden O'Brien had equalised. Millwall sub Tom Elliott stabbed home with time running out, but Spence rose high to nod in a dramatic winner. Defender Spence's goal was his first for the Tractor Boys and only his fifth in 199 career appearances, meaning Ipswich are one of three Championship sides yet to drop a point. Waghorn, making his first start since joining from Rangers, profited from tireless play by team-mate David McGoldrick to score his second of the match, and his third in two league appearances. It is the first time Ipswich have won their opening three league matches of a season since the 1999-2000 campaign, when they last won promotion to the Premier League. Millwall manager Neil Harris said his goalkeeper Jordan Archer made a "horrendous error" for Garner's equaliser as he parried the long-range strike into his own net. The Lions remain without a win since their return to the second tier, suffering only their second home defeat in 20 matches. For Mick McCarthy's side, however, it is the first time they have scored four or more goals away from home since November 2015, when they won 5-2 at Rotherham. Millwall manager Neil Harris: "It is not good enough here at The Den, it is unacceptable. "Ipswich showed their class and ability at key moments. In my opinion we have given them four goals away at key moments. "We were ahead after 44 seconds and we give a goal away, yes the goalkeeper should save it - there is no doubt about that. It is a horrendous error. He should save it at the end of the day, it is what he is in the goal for. "The fourth goal is the icing on the cake, I have not got the professionalism or leadership in my group to deal with a free-kick against a non-physical Ipswich side." Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "Our front four were magnificent, we had to survive a barrage. The irony is that it was a defender who scored the winner. "I was not expecting a 4-3, we scored some magnificent goals but conceded three as well and that was disappointing but they were good. "They have not been beaten here too often and I don't think they will either. I hope they don't. Millwall are hard to play against, they are a real handful and I think they will be fine."

The Frenchman, 35, was due to be out of contract at the end of this season after joining from Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee in January 2016. Kermorgant has scored eight goals so far this term for the Royals. "Yann has been very important for us throughout the season, with his experience and the quality that he has," Reading manager Jaap Stam said. After hearing that the British government wanted to guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK after Brexit, Sebastian Kurz told David Davis: "You had better come to Austria and say that, because nobody in Austria knows it." While the UK foreign secretary and international trade secretary have been touting future trade deals further afield, the British diplomatic machine has been on a mission to ensure the Brexit message gets through to the UK's EU neighbours. The Brexit secretary has spent more time in European capitals than in Brussels, where he has been accused of being underprepared for the two-year process of negotiating the UK's withdrawal from the EU. This year Mr Davis has touched down in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, all three Baltic states, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland and the Netherlands. He has been to Germany twice, which appears to underline his belief that the Germans will exert serious influence on the final withdrawal agreement. The EU position is that the 27 remaining countries are united behind their chief negotiator Michel Barnier, but I understand some in the British government still believe that member states can be played off against each other. A source from the Department for Exiting the EU denied that Mr Davis was deploying the tactic of "divide and rule". They described the trips as a chance for the UK to hear other countries' concerns and for them to receive the oft-repeated message that Britain is leaving the EU but not Europe. The source would not reveal whether Mr Davis had a masterplan for which neighbour to visit, when or in what order. At home, he indulged in petrol-head diplomacy with the European Parliament's Brexit Co-ordinator Guy Verhofstadt when they attended the same classic car event at Silverstone recently. The two men discovered a shared love of vintage vehicles during a meeting in Brussels last year. "I explained [to] him how to 'remain' in the race with a good old British car," said Mr Verhofstadt in a tweet accompanied by a photo of the Belgian wearing overalls and the minister in slacks. End of Twitter post by @GuyVerhofstadt And EU citizens have also heard directly from the Brexit secretary - known as "El Ministro Britanico del Brexit" in Spain or "Ministrul Britanic Pentru Brexit" in Romania. After the government published its paper on the rights of EU nationals living in the UK, Mr Davis explained the policy in editorials for foreign-language newspapers. Each one was crafted for a local audience. Britain's ambassadors have been deployed to illuminate that issue too, particularly in countries with a big population of British expats or large numbers of citizens in the UK. It led to a slew of videos posted on social media by diplomats more used to working the cocktail party circuit than the camera. A Foreign Office spokeswoman explained that rather than a specific Brexit push it was part of the UK's strategy to promote its values, which has included sending a British float to Pride in Paris and dispatching the Red Arrows to Croatia and Finland. The UK's man in Madrid appeared on the Spanish cookery show El Comedista to talk about tortillas and the King of Spain's state visit to the UK. Food has also been used by Conservative members of the European Parliament to woo their continental colleagues in Brussels, according to the Telegraph. The newspaper reported that they have hosted dinners at the city's best curry house. Tory MEPs are also planning a foreign media blitz in the autumn, although a spokesman said their aim was to clarify the British position rather than influence the negotiations. But the UK's overall effort has been criticised as "lacking in strategy" by a minister from an EU country that recently received a British delegation. "We were really perplexed by the poor quality. The UK used to be the benchmark for diplomacy but not any more," he told me. "It all changed in the space of a month when they set up those new government departments." He spoke of diplomatic initiatives started but not pursued, mixed messages from ministers and a general lack of co-ordination. This week the Environment Secretary Michael Gove met Danish fishermen but it was not all plain sailing, with one of the attendees describing the meeting as "a frank exchange" - diplomatic code for the opposite of a chummy chat. The Visegrad Group of four Central European countries- Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary - are expecting the Chancellor Philip Hammond to take part in a summit they will stage in September, but I have heard whispers they would prefer Boris Johnson to attend so that they can talk about their future relationship rather than the Brexit financial settlement. In Brussels, officials from member states complain about a lack of briefings from the UK's equivalent of an embassy to the EU, known as UKREP. An insider added that UK civil servants no longer join their foreign colleagues for drinks or to watch football matches, depriving them of a crucial diplomatic back-channel. Isles of Wonder was based on the transformation of Britain, from a "green and pleasant land" to the internet era, via the industrial age. A cast of 10,000 volunteers were involved in the memorable £27m show, which featured farmyard animals, several Voldemorts and even James Bond. Its creation was captured by Ben Delfont, a stage manager for the event. The rescue package will see an extra £2.4bn a year ploughed into services by 2020 - a rise of 14% once inflation is taken into account. It will pay for 5,000 more GPs and extra staff to boost practices. It comes after warnings from the profession that the future of general practice was at real risk. Rising patient demand coupled with a squeeze in funding has led to patients facing longer waits for appointments and increasing difficulties getting through to their local surgeries. Both the British Medical Association and Royal College of GPs have been increasingly vocal about the pressures over the past year. Unveiling the GP strategy, NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said he was "openly acknowledging" the problems and acting. "GPs are by far the largest branch of British medicine and as a recent British Medical Journal headline put it - if general practice fails, the whole NHS fails. "So if anyone 10 years ago had said, 'Here's what the NHS should now do - cut the share of funding for primary care and grow the number of hospital specialists three times faster than GPs,' they'd have been laughed out of court. "But looking back over a decade that's exactly what's happened. Now we need to act and this plan sets out exactly how." The extra money, coming from the overall increases in the total NHS budget which has already been announced, will bring the total spent on general practice to £12bn by 2020. It means more than 10% of health spending will go on GP care - up from just over 8% currently. The investment will help pay for the 5,000 extra GPs and 5,000 more non-medical staff, including nurses, pharmacists and therapists, that were promised by the Conservatives in their election manifesto. Alongside the money, the strategy also includes: The announcement was widely welcomed by the profession. Dr Maureen Baker, who chairs the Royal College of GPs, said: "This is the most significant announcement for our profession since the 1960s. "For too long GPs have been undervalued, underfunded, and not recognised for the essential role we play. We genuinely hope that today's news marks a turning point for general practice." British Medical Association GP leader Dr Chaand Nagpaul said the strategy was a "vital step", but added it was essential "words are translated into action". Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter Qiaoqiao, was reportedly taken by a group of men on Monday, while being taken on a walk outside of Beijing. The story of her abduction and her blind owner Tian Fengbo's ensuing grief led to outrage among Chinese netizens. She was found on Tuesday with a letter in a plastic bag on her collar reading: "We were wrong... we beg pardon". Mr Tian said he could "barely eat or sleep" after Qiaoqiao, a seven-year-old Labrador, went missing. "Qiaoqiao always accompanied me. She was like a friend to me. Now I feel like I've lost a close friend," Mr Tian told local media after she went missing. He added that the dog had been living in his care for five years and has since become part of his family. Residents in the area where the dog was taken told local media that there have been a series of recent dog thefts. The motive of Qiaoqiao's kidnappers remains unclear but it is common in China for pets to be abducted from the streets or even in the comfort of their homes, by dog thieves and sold to meat markets. The incident began trending on China's popular micro-blogging site Weibo after news of the incident emerged, with calls for harsher punishment for Chinese dog thieves. "What kind of monster must you be to slaughter a blind man's dog," remarked one angry netizen. "Is this the kind of nation China aspires to be? Dogs are man's best friend, not food," said another. One user noted: "Ever wondered why everyone celebrates when villagers take matters into their own hands and punish no-good dog thieves themselves?" Tunisia Defender Zied Boughattas opened the scoring for the hosts on the stroke of half-time and Ihab Msakni added the second in the 65th minute. The second leg of that tie is on 18 May in Gabon, with the overall winners progressing to group stage of the tournament. Earlier on Friday it ended 0-0 between Al Ahly Tripoli and Misr Elmaqasah of Egypt, that games was played in Tunis because of the ongoing security concerns in Libya. The tie will now be decided on 17 May in Egypt. Etoile and Al Ahly Tripoli had begun the 2016 season in the African Champions League, the most prestigious and richest club event on the African calendar alongside TP Mazembe of the DR Congo. Reigning African champions Mazembe fell by two goals away to Wydad Casablanca and were held at home with the Moroccans equalising in stoppage time. Etoile and Mazembe have won nine Confederation of African Football titles each, achievements surpassed only by Al Ahly of Egypt with 18 triumphs. The silver lining for Etoile is demotion to the Confederation Cup gives them a chance to win the competition twice in a row after beating Orlando Pirates of South Africa in the final last year. Brazilian striker Diogo Acosta has been in good form for the Red Devils from Mediterranean resort Sousse. If Etoile can close the gaps exposed by Enyimba in Nigeria they should build a lead at home to surprise qualifiers Mounana of Gabon. Recently-appointed Mazembe coach Hubert Velud has appealed for patience from supporters disenchanted by failure to reach the Champions League group stage. "I just got here," he said, referring to his arrival this year after the contract of fellow French coach Patrice Carteron was not renewed. "Mazembe want to win trophies every year and we have the Confederation Cup in our sights now." The club from Congolese mining city Lubumbashi have been goal shy lately, sorely missing Tanzanian striker Mbwana Aly Samatta, who moved to Belgium. Ghanaian Daniel Nii Adjei showed signs of inheriting the leading scorer role, but has lacked consistency. Mazembe host Stade Gabesien, a Tunisian outfit competing in Africa for the first time and unbeaten in qualifying tor the play-offs with two victories and four draws. Hichem Essifi, the striker Tunisians call 'The Hulk' because of his imposing physique, will warrant special attention from the Congolese. Three days after winning the South African title a record-extending seventh time, Mamelodi Sundowns face Medeama of Ghana near Pretoria. Sundowns goalkeeper Denis Onyango told BBC Sport: "We have to switch our minds to a new focus and concentrate, we know we want the club wants which is to conquer Africa and that's what we have to think about. "First we have to get to the group stage. But is a dream for the club and the players to conquer Africa and to make history - we know we have an opportunity to do it. "We know we are playing a good team and we must give our best. We are taking it very seriously. If we can win 3-0 at home that would be fantastic." Young Africans must shackle leading Confederation Cup scorer Arsenio 'Love' Cabungula from Angolan club Esperanca Sagrada in Dar es Salaam if they hope to become the first Tanzanian team to reach the group stage. The match between Stade Malien of Mali and FUS Rabat of Morocco pits former Confederation Cup title-holders against each other in Bamako. Mouloudia Bejaia of Algeria against Esperance of Tunisia and Al Merrikh of Sudan against Kawkab Marrakech of Morocco complete the first-leg schedule. Owners Moorbrook Textiles confirmed the move at the Robert Noble's March Street Mill in Peebles. It said a new owner was the best way to secure "continuation of production" and employment for 87 staff at the site. A 30-day consultation on the move has started with management continuing to "actively seek" a buyer. Moorbrook Textiles owns both the Robert Noble and Replin Fabrics brands which are run from the mill. Robert Noble dates back to 1666, established under the David Ballantyne name in Galashiels. Replin Fabrics was established in 1945. Both brands were acquired and brought under Moorbrook Textiles ownership in the 1990s. The company said that despite "significant investment" the "seasonal and volatile nature of the business" and "changes in global demand" had stopped the mill achieving "sustainable positive financial results". Managing director Ian Laird said the brands had strong global reputations for delivering high quality products to worldwide customers. "We have worked hard to deliver a strong sales pipeline, and we have invested to strengthen the businesses," he said. He added that both businesses were in a stronger position than they were 10 years ago. "Despite this, continuing losses mean that if a buyer or alternative solution cannot be found, production at the mill will cease this year," he said. "We fully acknowledge the impact the potential closure of our Peebles mill would have on the local community and are working closely with all employees, customers, suppliers and government agencies to minimise this impact. "It remains our earnest hope that a buyer can be found who can offer a better strategic fit for the excellent products and hardworking workforce at March Street Mills." Manufacturing at Moorbrook's mill in Ayrshire is unaffected. Some Peebles staff may be offered the opportunity to relocate to suitable positions in the Ayr business. However, there have been signs that IS and its supporters would not shy away from their use. A month ago, online supporters of the group boasted of an attack against Kurdish forces near the Tigris river in northern Iraq, saying they had used an unspecified chemical weapon. They said 40 mortar rounds had been used to deliver the weapons targeting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in the village of Tall Rim on 11 August. The next day, IS officially acknowledged firing mortars in the area and published photographs showing the rounds being fired, apparently illustrating the same attack, but it did not mention chemical weapons. Separately, German officials said they suspected that IS had used mustard gas against Kurdish forces in that area south-west of Irbil, at about that time. While talk of non-conventional weapons is not currently a burning issue among IS supporters, there has been a long history of debate on the subject in jihadist circles going back more than a decade. Many have argued in favour of their use, comparing them to weapons like catapults used in early Islamic times. But others have objected, saying Islam does not permit such indiscriminate killing. IS itself has a track record of flouting international conventions and may have recently found a new ally to help it justify the use of weapons like mustard gas. Last month, IS supporters online celebrated what they said was a pledge of allegiance to IS leader Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi from radical Saudi cleric Nasir al-Fahd. Mr Fahd is the highest profile figure to sanction the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in jihad, publishing a fatwa on the subject in May 2003. Mr Fahd's fatwa appears to sanction the use of a nuclear weapon against the US as a form of retaliation for Muslim deaths. "If a bomb were dropped on them killing ten million [Americans] and burning as much of their land as they have burned Muslims' land, it would be permissible, without the need to mention any other evidence," he wrote. "But we might need other evidence if we wanted to wipe out more than that number of them." The fatwa also quotes extensively from Islamic texts to argue that jihadists can use WMD if they judge that is the only way to "repel the infidels". He was arrested the same month and remains in prison to this day. On 24 August, a pro-IS media group circulated what were said to be handwritten messages from Mr Fahd, smuggled out of prison, announcing his loyalty to IS and encouraging others to fight under its banner. Given Nasir al-Fahd's standing in jihadist circles, if the notes are genuine, his backing for IS would boost the group's claim to religious legitimacy. It would also help it justify any use of chemical or other non-conventional weapons, given his high-profile endorsement of WMD use by jihadists.

Cousins made 136 appearances for the Addicks following his debut in August 2013, having first joined the club at under-13 level. The versatile Greenwich-born 22-year-old can also play at right-back or in the centre of defence. "I felt this was the right time for me to move on," Cousins said. "For it to be to a massive club like QPR is a real pleasure for me." Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told the club website: "He's young, he's hungry, he's got Championship experience and he's got great potential to keep on improving at QPR. "I am absolutely delighted he's a QPR player and can't wait to start working with him." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Accelerated growth in both new orders and production pushed Ireland's PMI to 57.5 in February. A figure above 50 suggests expansion. Overall eurozone manufacturing PMI held steady in February at 51.0. France's manufacturing sector contracted to 47.6, the lowest score in the eurozone. Manufacturing in the eurozone matched January's figure, even though new orders rose to a seven month-high. Meanwhile, lower oil prices have reduced manufacturing input costs, said Markit. Ireland's manufacturing growth seems to be resilient, said Investec's chief economist Philip O'Sullivan, but "any uncertainty ahead of the upcoming UK election - given that Ireland's closest neighbour has repeatedly been identified by manufacturers as a key source of demand - is likely to put that to the test". Job creation in Ireland's manufacturing sector reached its highest since May 1998, Markit said. Greece, France and Austria all saw their manufacturing sectors contract in February. France's manufacturing PMI fell as sharp declines in output, new orders and employment weighed on the index. "France is the most worrying, not just because it trails behind all other countries, but it is also the only country seeing a steepening downturn," said Markit's chief economist Chris Williamson. McCalliog scored in the famous 3-2 win over world champions England at Wembley in 1967, 50 years ago this weekend. It was a debut to remember for McCalliog, who was taken with the bow of Stuart Armstrong in last month's 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Slovenia. "I was very pleased for Gordon and for the boys because it was a real pressure situation," said McCalliog. "I was actually at the game, I thoroughly enjoyed it. They put a smile back on Scottish soccer that night." Strachan had commented that Armstrong's man-of-the-match performance at Hampden was the best Scotland debut he had ever seen. McCalliog, just 20 years old at the time, scored with three minutes remaining as Scotland recorded arguably their most distinguished victory, with Denis Law and Bobby Lennox also on target. "With regards to the comparison (with Armstrong) I think that's what football is all about," McCalliog told BBC Scotland's Sportsound. "We all have opinions and that's what keeps the game bubbling along." McCalliog, who had spells at Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday, Wolves and Manchester United, would only win another four Scotland caps after netting the third goal in the Wembley win. However, he says he has no regrets and simply cherishes the appearances he did make and having the chance to be part of the triumph over the World Cup holders. "It seems like yesterday," he said. "It's a wonderful memory and it's still imprinted very much so in my head, it was a fabulous day. "People would save up for two years so they could go to Wembley. It was an important game, we had it rammed down our throat about 1966 so all the boys were determined we would get a good result. "To have Billy Bremner on my right-hand side and the wonderful James Baxter on my left was a dream come true. "There were easily four world class players in the England side; Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Alan Ball and probably Ray Wilson and that's not to mention Gordon Banks. They certainly were a great side, they were unbeaten for 18 games, and it was a tough call for us to go out and beat them. "The Scotland selection was quite difficult back then. The manager didn't pick the team, the committee did. There was a lot of competition. I'm very grateful for the five caps, it would have been nice to have got a few more." Media playback is not supported on this device Fraser, the world number 90, hit nine birdies to finish with an eight under par 63, three shots ahead of the field. More than half of the men's world's top 10 pulled out of competing at Rio 2016, citing the Zika virus. Briton Justin Rose, one of a group on four under, hit the first ever Olympic hole-in-one on the par-three fourth. "There is always an element of luck but you could chalk it up as a good hole-in-one," said Rose. "I won a car that time [his last hole-in-one] but this is definitely better, better bragging rights. When you are the first to do something no one can take that away from you. That was definitely a cool moment." Newly crowned Open champion Henrik Stenson is tied for second with Canada's Graham Delaet on five under. Rose is one of five men tied for fourth on four under; along with Belgium's Thomas Pieters, Gregory Bourdy of France, Alex Cejka of Germany and Spain's Rafael Cabrera Bello. Danny Willett, who became the first British winner of the Masters for 20 years in April, finished level par with a 71. The second round begins on Friday at 11:30 BST, but there is no halfway cut as only 60 players are in the Olympic field. In July, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy said he was unlikely to watch television coverage of the Olympic golf competition, preferring "track and field, swimming, diving, the stuff that matters".

At present, there are no Chinese players in the elite top 16, with 17th-placed Ding Junhui the highest ranked. Liang Wenbo, Tian Pengfei, Xiao Guodong, Li Hang, Zhou Yuelong and Yu Delu are the only others from China currently ranked in the top 64. "Over the next 10-15 years, China will dominate most sports. The government are pouring money in," said Hearn. Of the nine ranking events this season, the Shanghai Masters and China Open are played in China. In 2014, the country built its own Crucible Theatre to try to lure the World Championship away from Sheffield, which is contracted to host the tournament until 2017. Ding, 29, is their most successful player with 11 ranking title victories, but has dropped out of the top 16 following a poor season. He had to come through three rounds of qualifying to compete at the World Championship. "It is inevitable one day [that Ding Junhui will win the World Championship]," Hearn told BBC World Service Sport. "He hasn't had the best of seasons but that may make him the most dangerous player in the field - he has no pressure. "If Ding happens to win it, it will be a big boost to the game in China and bring in the start of an era with more and more Chinese players. "Do I want to see the top-16 players all Chinese players? Do you want to see a draw between all Chinese players? The system is there, if they are good enough, to do exactly that." In a news conference on Wednesday, Hearn hinted that O'Sullivan's refusal to talk to the media following his first-round World Championship win could lead to first-time fines for the same offence from next season. Current rules mean O'Sullivan was just warned after beating David Gilbert 10-7. In February, Hearn said O'Sullivan is "close" to being bigger than snooker. Media playback is not supported on this device "Ronnie is a renegade so gets headlines for other things, which is all part of character building," said Hearn. "Snooker is played with self control and players who exercise that don't become renegades. Ronnie is a one off. "If Ronnie breaks the rules, he gets punished. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to understand the frailties of nature and understand everyone is different." Hearn was also bullish about snooker's future as a global game, with major tournaments played in 10 countries. "Some people have written an obituary about snooker before it's dead," added Hearn. "The truth is that globally, snooker has never been bigger than it is now. "The danger from the UK is people asking, 'where are the 18.5 million people who watched the Dennis Taylor v Steve Davis final of 1985?' The world has changed. You don't have three or four TV channels - there are hundreds, which takes people's attentions. "

The ex-England defender replaces Stuart Pearce, who left in June following a disappointing European Championship. Southgate was previously the Football Association head of elite development, leaving the post in July 2012. "I'm extremely excited about the prospect of working with the best and brightest young players in the country," the 42-year-old said. Southgate made 57 appearances for England during a career in which he played for Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough. He featured at Euro 96, missing the crucial penalty in the semi-final defeat by Germany at Wembley, the 1998 World Cup and the European Championship in 2000. "I'm a proud Englishman and playing for my country was the pinnacle of my playing career," said Southgate, who managed Middlesbrough from June 2006 to October 2009. "Since retiring as a player I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience of the game both here and abroad, and I'm eager to play my part in preparing players to compete at the highest level. "Whenever any team steps onto the pitch for England, being successful is of huge importance, but it is also about developing a clear style of play that can allow our talented young players to flourish." Southgate was part of England's coaching staff at the Under-20 World Cup in 2011 and has been working as a pundit for ITV. He will report to the FA's director of elite development Dan Ashworth and will oversee the coaches with responsibility for the under-16s through to the under-20s. Ashworth said: "Gareth shares our belief that now is an important moment for English football. It is the time for change and his ideas and experience will be crucial to the direction we wish to take the development teams in the future." Southgate's first game in charge will be the 2015 European Championship qualifier against Moldova on Thursday, 5 September at Reading's Madejski Stadium before his team face Finland away four days later. England manager Roy Hodgson took charge of the last under-21 game, a 6-0 defeat of Scotland at Bramall Lane.

Former Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has been named England Under-21 boss on a three-year contract.

An impressive 11 goals in 17 appearances later, you have won the EFL's Young Player of the Month award for September. The 2016-17 season has already served up plenty of success for teenage striker Tammy Abraham - the kid who once needed a lift from Didier Drogba to get to training and has now helped lift Bristol City into the Championship's top six. But is the form of the 19-year-old, on loan from Chelsea, remotely surprising to City boss Johnson? Not at all. "We felt this was going to be his breakthrough year, whether it be with us or somebody else, so we made sure that we put ourselves at the front of the queue," Johnson told BBC Sport. The loan has worked out well for both parties so far and Abraham netted five times in six appearances in all competitions in September. "He's deserved it. He was superb," Johnson continued. "He's a constant threat for the Championship and teams need to take notice of him, and they have done, but he's still found a way. "He's been there when we've needed him, whether it be with a tidy little finish or getting across his man or a poacher's goal." Media playback is not supported on this device But how important was Johnson's meal-time visit to the Abraham household in bringing the youngster to Ashton Gate from Chelsea? "Particularly with a young player with top reputations, you have to get everybody to buy into it. They have to know the standards, as far as behaviour, that we expect," Johnson added. "As soon as we met the family and we met Tammy, it was evident that we were going to get on great like a house on fire, because he is a footballer that likes playing football more than he loves being a footballer." First impressions were crucial for Abraham, too, and after scoring 74 goals in 98 youth games for Chelsea at different age levels, Bristol City were inevitably not the only team interested. "When I met the gaffer at the house and he introduced himself to my family, it really built that relationship," he said. "I had a couple of other teams interested but as soon as I met the gaffer I set my mind to here. You have to go where your heart tells you to. "When the gaffer believes in you, there is nothing better. He speaks to me literally every single day, keeps in touch and sees how I am doing. You really need that. "When I don't score he says: 'This is not like you not to get a goal' and we have a few laughs. He tells me just to believe in myself and take confidence out on to the pitch." Johnson takes a keen interest in Abraham's development and hopes he will leave Ashton Gate a more rounded player. The former Barnsley and Oldham boss said: "He'll learn lessons - he's already had five or six lessons of serious note this season, in terms of tactical stuff, technical stuff and also the physical and mental side. "The real test of a top player is how quickly they can learn those lessons. So far he has come through every challenge." Asked what he needs to improve on, Abraham - whose 15-year-old brother Timmy is on the books with Charlton - replied: "Left-foot finishing. "I need more left-footed goals. And shooting from outside the box - I need more variance of finishes. "You're not going to get a chance every time in the box. After sessions, I keep working and practising with the left foot. Hopefully one day it'll just be fluent." And working hard in training is something Abraham has admired in his idols, namely former Chelsea striker Drogba. "Players like Didier Drogba, going to watch him play and seeing him off the pitch as well, I got to see how he was with the players and the youngsters," Abraham said of his early years with Chelsea. "Growing up, he was a good idol. He's a bubbly, funny character. He likes to make people feel welcome. You need those kind of people, wherever you are. "I remember one time, I couldn't get into the training ground. He saw me walking and he picked me up. He spoke to me and that's when I really got to know what he is like off the pitch." But the presence of one of Drogba's long-term successors up front at Chelsea, Diego Costa, is one of many reasons why Abraham has made just two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Blues. Injuries meant that another teenage English striker, Marcus Rashford, was presented with a run of first-team games at Manchester United last season, shining enough at the top level to earn a place in the England squad at Euro 2016. Former Tottenham manager David Pleat believes Abraham would have scored as many goals as Rashford if he had been given a similar chance. "I'm certainly not going to argue with that," Johnson said. "Opportunity is the word and the most important element in any footballer's career - but of course then you've got to take it. "I think this [loan move] is the right progression for Tammy, but you see Rashford and what a fantastic job he did for Manchester United and then England - I certainly put Tammy up there, when he is at his best, in that category." Abraham's form for the Robins has already led to his breakthrough with the Under-21 side, scoring twice on his full debut against Bosnia-Herzegovina on 11 October. "He's progressed quicker than maybe the England guys thought he would," Johnson added. "Tammy was ready - I just told him to go out and express himself. He was exceptional in the two goals that he scored." And could Abraham play for England's senior team one day? "That's what I strive for and hopefully I will achieve that," the striker replied. Tammy Abraham was speaking to BBC Radio Bristol's Geoff Twentyman - hear the full interview on Sound of the City on Monday, 31 October from 18:00 - 19:00 GMT.

It is a normal summer's evening and your mum's home-cooked food is on the table, except for one big difference - Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson is round for dinner and he wants to sign you on loan.

Net income rose 16% to €1.399bn. But Airbus highlighted a "negative cost and risk evolution" for its delayed A400M transport aircraft. The programme hit problems in 2010 and received a bailout of €3.5bn. Built at a cost of €20bn with orders from several European countries, the A400M was a fixed-priced contract that hit production problems and cost-overruns. Airbus said it would account for any future impact in its full-year results to be published early next year. The company's finance director did not rule out Airbus taking a one-off accounting charge against future problems. Harald Wilhelm told journalists: "Given our past history on it (the A400M), the objective remains to avoid any incremental charge, but we are on the way to assessing it. If you ask me whether I can exclude it, I cannot say that this is the case, so it's work in progress." Outside of the A400M problems, Airbus, whose wing-making operations are in the UK, said that the company's products remained "strong". The order book was worth €765.4bn as of 30 September, compared with €680.6bn at the end of 2013. Airbus Group chief executive Tom Enders said: "An improved operational performance drove revenues and profitability higher over the first nine months of 2014." However, adverse exchange rates had impacted on profits in the last three months. The incident happened during a candle-lighting ceremony to mark the Jewish festival of Hannukah at Mr Netanyahu's residence. MP Sharren Haskel and the husband of Tzipi Hotovely, the deputy foreign minister, were not seriously hurt. Mr Netanyahu's son took the dog in from a rescue home earlier this year. Prime Minister Netanyahu tweeted a picture of himself with the 10-year-old mixed breed in August. "If you want a canine, find an adult dog to rescue. You won't regret it," he wrote.

Mr Chavan said the charges against him were "unfortunate and unexpected". The housing project was originally for war widows, but flats were sold to politicians and military officers, allegedly at below market prices. "There is a conspiracy by my rivals to malign me. The Adarsh issue has been blown out of proportion," Mr Chavan said after the charges were filed on Wednesday. He also said that he was not "associated with allotment of land to the Adarsh society nor did I have anything to do with the list of its members". Ashok Chavan resigned as chief minister after it emerged that his relatives had flats in the building. All 14 people have been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating and corruption. Originally meant to be a six-storey block in an exclusive part of Mumbai, the building exceeds the maximum height allowed for buildings near the coast. Municipal authorities disconnected the building's water and electricity supply in 2010 after it was found to have violated environmental laws. The Adarsh Society case is one of several corruption scandals that have shaken India's government. Injury and poor form has hampered the 28-year-old, who missed the cut at the Irish Open last week. After his last Scottish Open appearance, in 2014, he won the Open at Royal Liverpool. "I'm positive about it," said the Northern Irishman at Dundonald Links. "I'm excited about my game. I feel like I'm doing a lot of good things." Ranked fourth in the world, McIlroy will partner Henrik Stenson and Rickie Fowler of the United States during rounds one and two in Ayrshire. "It's just putting it all together, not just for one day but for four days; and not just for four days, to do it week in and week out," he said. "I've got a busy stretch coming up and I'm excited to play. "I might be putting a bit too much pressure on myself, but I know that it's coming around. But I'm realistic that I need to see it happen sooner, rather than later. "I sound a bit like a broken record after a few weeks. But, really, it's not far away." Dundonald Links is only five miles away from Royal Troon, where Stenson won the Open in stunning fashion last year. Like McIlroy, the Swede, 41, has had an underwhelming season so far and admits he has struggled with the demands of being the Claret Jug holder. "It's kind of like before and after having kids," Stenson explained. "When you have kids, your life changes and it's like you can't believe what you did with all the time you had before you had children. "It's a little bit the same. I don't know what I did with my time before I had the Claret Jug in my possession. And I kind of treat it like my baby as well. "It's been a busy year, but I don't want to sit here and complain about it. That's certainly not the way we look at it. "I've been pretty good at saying no, but you've still got to do a lot of things and that impacts your focus on your game to a degree. "For the year that you are the defending champion, every week you show up at a tournament it's new, it's fresh, they haven't seen you since you won and it's all the pictures and all the autographs and all the interviews. "In this game, you've got to be in the moment and you've got to be focused and where you're at now and looking forward. "And you're constantly talking about what happened six months, nine months, 12 months ago, so it's easy to be a little stuck in the past. "I think it's going to be a bit of turning the page next week when I have to return the Claret Jug on Monday and then we're kind of looking ahead instead of looking back." Defending champion Alex Noren, of Sweden, is in the company of England's Tyrrell Hatton and Australia's Adam Scott for the first two rounds. The 24-year-old from Québec was with Czech Republic side HC Dynamo Pardubice before signing for the Giants. "We're excited to be able to bring in a player of Jerome's quality - he'll add stability to our d-corps," said Steve Thornton, Head of Hockey Operations. Leduc is available for this weekend's two games against leaders Cardiff, with the Giants three points back. He was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round, 68th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Following his draft year, in the 2011/12 season Leduc led the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in both goals as well as points by a defenceman. Leduc spent the following four seasons in the AHL with the Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres affiliate, where he posted 19 goals and 38 assists in 228 games played. The Ottawa Senators traded for Leduc in a seven-player deal in February 2016 and he was directly assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, for the remainder of the season. Leduc then signed a one-year contract with HC Dynamo Pardubice, posting four goals and five assists in 41 games played, before joining the Giants. Thornton added: "Unfortunately we received news that Alex Foster will miss a significant number of games following an injury sustained in the game against Fife and we made sure to move quickly to bring in the best possible player available." The former New England Patriots tight end hanged himself in his Massachusetts prison cell on Wednesday and was pronounced dead later at hospital. The 27-year-old reportedly marked the gospel passage "John 3:16" in red ink on his forehead. His death came five days after he was acquitted in a double murder trial. New England Patriots deny Donald Trump snub Hernandez had cried in court as that verdict was read, saying he was "very happy", but he was still serving a prison sentence for another murder. According to local media reports, Hernandez wrote the popular Bible verse on his forehead. It refers to the phrase: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Corrections department spokesman Christopher Fallon said no suicide note was found during an initial search of Hernandez's cell. Does the NFL have a crime problem? Hernandez - who had "God forgives" tattooed on his arm - had not been considered at risk of suicide, Mr Fallon added. Massachusetts prisons have twice as many inmate suicides as the national average, federal data shows. The state had an annual suicide rate of 32 per 100,000 prisoners from 2001-14, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Only Rhode Island, Utah and Montana had higher rates. Jose Baez, Hernandez's attorney, said the state medical examiner's office is "illegally" withholding the football star's brain despite family wishes to donate it to research. Mr Baez told reporters on Thursday the family wants to donate the brain to Boston University's Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center, which studies the progressive degenerative disease that is found in people with a history of repetitive brain trauma. The disease, which can only be diagnosed after death, has been found in the brains of dozens of former American football players. Mr Baez expressed concern that any delay in releasing the brain to BU would compromise the study of it. The medical examiner's office did not immediately comment after the news conference. Hernandez was cleared last week of the murders of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, who were shot dead outside a Boston nightclub in 2012. But he was found guilty of illegally possessing a firearm and the judge added five years to his sentence. Hernandez had been found guilty in April 2015 of the first-degree murder of his friend, another American footballer, the semi-professional Odin Lloyd, in 2013. Lloyd's body was found with six bullet wounds less than a mile from Hernandez's home. Within hours of his arrest for the 2013 shooting, the Patriots sacked Hernandez, considered one of the top tight ends playing the game. Hernandez was given a life sentence without parole. On the same day of his death, Hernandez's former team was honoured by President Donald Trump at the White House for their Super Bowl victory over Atlanta in February. The vehicle struck the 4.5m (14ft) high bridge on the Wootton Bassett Road shortly before 08:50 GMT. The A3102 was closed to traffic while teams of engineers worked to free the vehicle. British Transport Police said the driver was not hurt in the incident but Wiltshire Police said the road would remain closed for a couple of hours. As a precautionary measure, Network Rail said trains crossing over the bridge had been limited to 5mph. But a spokeswoman later said engineers had inspected the bridge and found "no damage" allowing services to return to normal. United's England contingent Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling and Marcus Rashford will be on the tour. However, Mourinho has said the trio will not play against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on 22 July and Manchester City in Beijing on 25 July. And new signing Ibrahimovic, 34, may not be involved at all. If he does not go to Asia, it is not known precisely when Ibrahimovic will make his first United appearance. The striker, who arrived at United on a free transfer after his contract with Paris St-Germain expired, last played in Sweden's final match at Euro 2016, a 1-0 defeat by Belgium on 22 June. When it was confirmed on Monday a United XI would play Salford City at Moor Lane on 26 July, the National League North club's co-owner Gary Neville said on Twitter: "Zlatan first game!!" United's first team play Galatasaray in Gothenburg in Ibrahimovic's native country on 30 July. They play Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial at Old Trafford on 3 August and Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield on 7 August.

Sevilla, who beat Liverpool in the Europa League final four days earlier, were a man up over Barca for 50 minutes after Javier Mascherano's dismissal. But they failed to take their chances in Madrid and lost 2-0 in extra time, ending up with nine men themselves. "If we were fresher, in the final quarter of the pitch we would have been able to win the game," he said. Ever Banega, who is expected to join Inter Milan, was sent off in injury time for Sevilla as they relinquished their man advantage. Jordi Alba gave Barca the lead in extra time with his first goal of the season then Sevilla had Daniel Carrico sent off towards the end before Neymar sealed the domestic double for Barcelona. "In the second half we had two good chances," said Emery, who is a reported target for Everton. "I don't think we lacked luck, and the team has a lot of ambition. We lacked freshness, which would have allowed us to respond more [after Barcelona scored]." It was Sevilla's first defeat in a major cup final since 1962, during which time they have won five Uefa Cup/Europa Leagues and two Spanish Cups. The world's second-largest publicly-listed oil and gas giant said it would invest $100bn (£62.4bn) over the next four years on new projects. During a strategy briefing, Shell set a target of producing 3.7 million barrels of oil and gas per day for 2014. This is a 12% rise, and comes amid surging demand from emerging markets. Chief executive Peter Voser said: "We have made good progress in 2010. Our profitability is improving and we are on track for our growth targets. There is more to come from Shell." The company has 20 new projects under construction, which will add more than 800,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Final investment decisions on another 10 key projects would be made over the next year or two, Mr Voser said. The Anglo-Dutch company almost doubled its profits to $18.6bn last year thanks to higher oil prices. The results contrasted with those of its troubled rival BP, which recorded its first annual loss for nearly two decades due to clean up costs following the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, Mr Voser said Shell's three oil refineries in Japan were not damaged and were still operating following the earthquake. He said Shell was sending extra supplies of gas to help make up the energy shortfall from damaged nuclear power generation. Rosie and Ruby Formosa were joined at the abdomen and shared part of their intestine before they had an emergency operation to separate them in 2012. Their mother, Angela Formosa, said the four-year-olds, from Bexleyheath in south-east London, were "very excited" to be starting school. "Four years ago it wasn't in my mind that this would ever happen," she said. "When I was pregnant I didn't think I'd ever see their first day at school so it is really amazing and all thanks to Gosh [Great Ormond Street Hospital] really." Mrs Formosa said it was "heartbreaking" for her and their father Daniel Formosa when they discovered the girls had the rare medical condition, which occurs in one in every 200,000 live births. The girls were born at University College Hospital in London by caesarean section in 2012 when Mrs Formosa was 34 weeks pregnant. Within a couple of hours of being born, they were taken to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for emergency surgery because of an intestinal blockage. Mrs Formosa, 35, said it felt like "a million years" ago since she was waiting for the girls to come out of their surgery. "The time has just flown by, I can't believe how fast it has gone," she said. "They are very excited [about starting school]; their big sister is in school so they can't wait. They've met their teacher a few times and they love their teacher. They're looking forward to painting, anything messy, they love reading. "They are very similar, they are very bubbly little girls, they are very headstrong and very determined, which I knew they were from when they were in my belly because of the way they kept growing and surviving." Professor Paolo De Coppi, consultant paediatric surgeon at Gosh, said: "We're thrilled that Rosie and Ruby are starting school this September. "It's always a joy to witness patients' progress and to hear that they are reaching new milestones - this makes the job we do all the more rewarding." The Lib Dem leader told a packed hall of supporters at the start of their party conference in Bournemouth: "This is our moment". He said Labour had "left the playing field" and it was up to the Lib Dems to fill the gap and take on the Tories. The party is targeting Labour voters dismayed by Mr Corbyn's leadership. It plans policy announcements this week to show that Mr Farron is more credible than Labour on the economy. But Mr Farron has played down suggestions that "moderate" Labour MPs are ready to defect to his party, which is still reeling from losing all but eight of its MPs in May's general election. The theme of the conference, summed up in a Twitter hashtag, is LibDemFightback. The party claims it has attracted record numbers of activists to its annual conference, including many of the 20,000 people who have joined since the election. The Lib Dem leader, who is due to deliver his keynote speech to conference on Wednesday, opened the event with a rallying call to activists, telling them: "I am tired of losing. Let's win again." He received a standing ovation from activists who had been warmed up by a performance by the London International Gospel Choir. Mr Farron, who was elected to replace Nick Clegg in July, condemned the "fantasy economics" of by Mr Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell and accused Labour of "nostalgia" for the student politics of the 1980s. He said: "If Labour aren't interested in standing up to the Tories and providing a credible opposition, that's their funeral. "The Liberal Democrats will fill that space. Radical and liberal and responsible too." The Lib Dem leader warned the audience that we "once again see the prospect of a decade or more of Tory rule, and it fills us with dread". He added: "When the tectonic plates of politics move, they sometimes move immensely quickly - that is what is happening now. "These are momentous and historic times, history calls us, we will answer that call. "Britain needs a party that is progressive, moderate and liberal. We are that party. This is our moment." Willo Flood opened the scoring for the home side with a 20-yard drive and Cammy Smith looked to have given Ray McKinnon's side control when he scored United's second from the penalty spot. But Jordan Thompson reduced the deficit seven minutes before the break with a rising shot past Cammy Bell. And McHattie earned Gary Locke's side a point with a glorious strike. This was McKinnon's first match against his old club since leaving the Kirkcaldy side in May and his players began the game in whirlwind fashion. Simon Murray and Flood both came close to an opener before the Rovers defence was breached after 17 minutes. A free kick into the box was nodded away by Jason Thomson but Flood showed great composure as he guided his shot from 20 yards into the bottom corner. And five minutes later the home side doubled their advantage and again Flood played a major part. The midfielder was brought down inside the box and Smith dispatched the spot kick beyond Conor Brennan. Raith had won their opening three league matches but had barely been in the United half and at this stage they looked down and out of the game. Darren Jackson, first team coach at United under Jackie McNamara but now at Raith, was sent to the stand by referee Craig Thomson much to his dismay. But Raith suddenly looked energised and a magnificent volley from Thompson pulled one back just before the break. The goal gave the Kirkcaldy side new impetus and after a constant spell of pressure in the second half they drew level. A cross into the box was cleared out as far as McHattie, who thundered a shot beyond Bell. Both sides had half-chances before the end but the crowd of almost 7,500 were thoroughly entertained by both teams who will fancy their chances of promotion. Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon: "I would have to say that was two points dropped. "From 2-0 up, to draw the game is disappointing for us. When you are in that position you should certainly win the game. "We should have just kept the steam up on them. We didn't and a little bit of slackness crept in and it cost us a goal. "I thought we were absolutely dominant for 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the second half was pretty disappointing. We should be battling harder than that then another wonder strike grabs them a point." Raith Rovers manager Gary Locke: "I was disappointed with the first 20 minutes because we looked like a team that didn't believe in ourselves. We gave them too much respect and sat off them. "We made a tactical change and it got us back into the game. A great strike by Jordan Thompson but for a good hour of the game I thought we were outstanding."

Venezuela's National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) ordered "the immediate suspension of broadcasts". Conatel accused the channel of attempting to "undermine the peace and the democratic stability" of Venezuela. It did not specifically mention the passport story, but government officials had earlier in the day disputed it at a press conference. The story was the product of a year-long investigation into allegations that Venezuelan passports and visas were being sold to people in Iraq, including some with terrorism links. The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers. According to Venezuelan media, Conatel urged publishers and journalists to "provide timely and truthful information to our people, adjusted to the values of Venezuelan society". Mr El Aissami has this week had sanctions imposed on him by the US for allegedly trafficking drugs. He was described by the US treasury as a drug "kingpin" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to America. He accused the US of "imperialist aggression" in response and President Nicolas Maduro demanded a public apology. Countries created to suit the imperial designs of London and Paris are being replaced by patches of territory carved out by jihadis, nationalists, rebels and warlords. The border between Iraq and Syria is under the control of the so-called Islamic State; Syrian Kurds are experiencing the kind of autonomy their counterparts in Iraq have had for years; ethnic, tribal and religious leaders are running territories in Libya and Yemen. As some of the nation states disintegrate, once powerful capital cities become ever more irrelevant. The rest of the world may have embassies in the Middle East but, increasingly, there are no effective ministries for them to interact with. The governments in Baghdad, Damascus, Tobruk and Sanaa are now unable to assert their will across large parts of their countries. "The states that exist in the region do not really have a monopoly on the use of force," LSE Professor Fawaz Gerges told Newshour Extra. That means that some central governments are now relying on militants and non-state actors to defend them. Even the most precious Middle Eastern resource of all - oil - is slipping out of government control. The Iraqi Kurds have been creating a legal infrastructure for oil exports for nearly a decade, while rebel forces in Libya and the Islamic State group have both accrued revenues from the oil industry. While non-state actors find it difficult to sell crude oil, smuggling refined gasoline products is far easier. "There is a network which crosses religious and ideological borders where you have people buying and selling petroleum, diesel and gasoline products across the whole region," says oil industry consultant John Hamilton. "And it's very profitable." There are many explanations for the winds of change sweeping through the Middle East. Depending on their point of view, analysts cite the failure of Arab nationalism; a lack of democratic development; post-colonialism; Zionism; Western trade protectionism; corruption; low education standards; and the global revival of radical Islamism. But perhaps the most powerful immediate force ripping Middle Eastern societies apart is sectarianism. Throughout the region Sunni and Shia Muslims are engaged in violent conflict. The two regional superpowers, Saudi Arabia and Iran, both sponsor proxy forces to fight their battles for them. In times past the global superpowers were able to keep the Middle Eastern nation states intact, but it's far from clear that either Washington or Moscow now have the power or the will to reunite countries such as Syria, Libya, Yemen and Iraq. Looking further ahead, the question most Western diplomats are asking is not whether the old order can be rebuilt but whether still-intact countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and even Saudi Arabia can hold the line. Most of the nation states in the Middle East were created in the aftermath of the First World War. The Sykes-Picot agreement and arrangements made by the League of Nations established the borders that exist today. The biggest change since then came with the creation of Israel in 1948. Israel's borders remain a matter of impassioned debate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new Deputy Foreign Minister, Tzipi Hotovely, recently told members of the Israeli diplomatic corps that they should tell the world that the West Bank belongs to the Jews. Some Palestinians also dream of border change - however it comes. "They see the chaos in Iraq and Syria and this hideous machine called IS [Islamic State] as potentially the only game-changer that might ultimately call all the borders into question in a way that might eventually benefit the Palestinians," says Professor Rosemary Hollis of City University, London. "Otherwise they see their future as miserable." The Middle East is facing years of turmoil. Many in the region are increasingly driven by religion and ideology rather than nationalism. For them - whether conservative or liberal, religious or secular - the priority is not to change lines on the map but to advance their view of how society should be organised.

Gomez, 37, shot a final round 62 to finish level with the 35-year-old American on 20 under par before both players parred the first play-off hole. However, a birdie on the second extra hole gave Gomez the title. "I'm really, really happy. I felt good all week long and was able to put on a great round," the Argentine said. His other Tour triumph came at the St Jude Classic in Tennessee in June 2015 and his latest victory takes him to 55th in the world rankings. That keeps him in contention to represent Argentina at the Rio Olympics in August. "I'm really excited about being able to get in the Olympics," he added. "It depends on how things go with other players, but I feel like I will be almost there." England's Greg Owen came in tied fifth, five shots behind Gomez and Snedeker. Even so, there has been particular turbulence in recent days as fears of a "civil war" among its adherents first grew and then subsided, although they have not gone away altogether. On Sunday, the value of one bitcoin dropped to about $1,863 (£1,430) before bouncing back to $2,402 on Wednesday, according to data from the news site CoinDesk - still some way off a June high of $3,019. Bitcoin risks becoming a victim of its success. The popularity of the financial technology has caused transactions to be processed slower, with some users complaining of having to wait three days or more for confirmation of trades when the backlog was at its worst, in May. Moreover, fees have also risen, hitting a high of $5 per transaction at the start of June. That makes it too costly to justify its use for some purchases, such as buying a pint of lager in a Bitcoin-accepting pub. There are ways around the problem, but the cryptocurrency's community has been split over which solution to adopt. The risk is that Bitcoin could effectively split in two, with one type becoming incompatible with another, ultimately undermining confidence in the project altogether. The issue is that Bitcoin's underlying technology has an in-built constraint: the ledger of past transactions, known as the blockchain, can have only 1MB of data added to it every 10 minutes. To understand why, it's helpful to first understand how Bitcoin works. To authenticate Bitcoin transactions, a procedure called "mining" takes place, which involves volunteers' computers racing to solve difficult mathematical problems. For each problem solved, one block of bitcoins is processed. As a reward, the successful miners are given newly generated bitcoins. An updated copy of the blockchain database is then copied to all the computers involved in the validation process, which are referred to as "nodes". Bitcoin originally did not have the 1MB/10min blockchain limit, but the feature was added to help defend the technology against denial of service (DoS) attacks, which might overwhelm the blockchain by flooding it with tiny transactions. Mining, by the way, has become a big business in its own right, with some companies investing in huge "farms" of computers dedicated to the activity. Several of the biggest are based in China. Many of the miners have, in fact, favoured the so-called Bitcoin Unlimited solution. They said that allowing them to increase the 1MB block size would speed up transactions and reduce transactions fees. But this could also make mining more expensive, and impractical for small "mom and pop" operations, leaving it under the control of a handful of large corporations. That is because more processing power would be needed to verify transactions. Furthermore, additional data bandwidth and storage space would be needed to transmit and store the blockchain, since it would become much bigger. Critics also say the move would make Bitcoin more vulnerable to hackers. Moreover, some people are concerned that giving the miners power to vary the block size might undermine the principle of Bitcoin being decentralised, with no equivalent to a central bank running the show. Some software developers have favoured reorganising the format of Bitcoin transactions to make the blockchain more efficient. Specifically, they propose relocating " transaction signatures" - which unlock bitcoins so they can be spent - from within the blockchain to a separate file transmitted alongside it. Doing so should make it possible to process transactions at double the current rate. And as an added benefit, "node" computers could save on storage space by opting not to keep records of the oldest signatures. This scheme is known as Segregated Witness, or Segwit. However, critics say it would deliver only a temporary respite while adding an extra level of complexity. It appears so. A middle-ground solution - called Segwit2x - aims to start sending signature data separately from the blockchain later this week and then to double the block size limit to 2MB in three months' time. An initiative called Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 91 (BIP 91) states that if 80% of the mining effort adopts the new blockchain software involved and uses it consistently between 21 July and 31 July, then the wider community should accept this as the solution. The good news for those who like the idea is that close to 90% of miners appear to back the effort, according to Coin Dance, a Bitcoin-related statistics site. Other plans exist to try again after August if the target is missed. But a risk remains that if use of Segwit2x software never reaches the required threshold or that hardcore opponents refuse to buckle, then it could result in two different versions of the blockchain, and in effect two types of Bitcoin. Such as schism could help rival cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, prosper and ultimately doom Bitcoin altogether. One expert, however, said he believed that was an unlikely outcome. "The vast majority of people in the Bitcoin community are opposed to splitting Bitcoin into two competing cryptocurrencies," said Dr Garrick Hileman, research fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance. "Such a move would weaken Bitcoin's network effect advantage and sow confusion. "It is much more likely that people who are dissatisfied with Bitcoin's direction will simply move on to something else, which is what we've seen in the past." The 24-year-old Orica rider attacked with 15 kilometres left of the mountainous 163.5km stage from Domdidier to Leysin, and rode clear alongside BMC's Richie Porte. The victory leaves Yates 19 seconds clear of Australian Porte overall. Team Sky's Chris Froome is 75 seconds down on compatriot Yates in 33rd place. Yates said: "On the final climb I knew Richie was coming across, so I didn't want to keep pushing as I knew that when he caught me I would be empty, so I took a bit easy and waited for him to get to me. "I managed to get him in front into the final kilometre and I think that really saved me as the wind was quite strong in the finish. I am just really happy that I was able to come around him and take the victory." The six-day, five-stage race - an early indicator of form before the Tour de France in July - ends with the 17.9km individual time trial in Lausanne on Sunday. Meanwhile, Italian rider Gianni Moscon is facing disciplinary action from Team Sky after it emerged he used racially abusive language towards FDJ's Kevin Reza at the end of Friday's stage three. Team Sky chose not to withdraw Moscon from the race following discussions with FDJ. Moscon has apologised to Frenchman Reza and his team-mates but the British team will consider what action to take after establishing all of the facts of the incident.

The 27-year old has been out since suffering the injury on 22 November. "He's now confident he'll be in the team and ready to fight for his place," Roberts told BBC Radio Cymru. Roberts and Wales manager Chris Coleman travelled to Madrid this week to meet with Bale and watch him train and were impressed with what they saw. "He's coming along very well, he's in a good place both physically and mentally," Roberts said. "He's been working extremely hard. He was in a good mood, we watched him train and he looked very good physically and fresh of course. "We're expecting him to carefully build up his minutes under the manager [Zinedine Zidane] and Gareth will be ready to join up with us next month." Initial assessments on Bale's injury indicated that Madrid's record signing would possibly struggle to be fit for the vital World Cup qualifier in Dublin. His recovery time has been roughly six weeks quicker than initial estimates and Roberts puts it down to hard work. "Nature might play a part [in Bale's ability to quickly recover from injuries] but I prefer to believe in the hard work he gets through," he explained. "We see Gareth when scores goals for Wales and Real Madrid and amazing things on the field but what most people do not see is the hard work he puts in behind closed doors, in private, that gives him a base so he can make the most of the special talent he has. "One of the main reasons for that is because he's well-disciplined he's happy to sacrifice some things in life to make sure he makes most of his talent. "He does not go out, he does not drink alcohol, he's incredibly professional and he's been working for weeks on end - getting into the club for 9am every morning and does not leave until 8pm at night. "His days have been longer whilst he has been injured than when he was fit and playing. The hard work which he's put in for weeks now and it's understandable how he's more than ready to get back into the team." Roberts does not expect any setbacks for the talisman who helped Wales to the semi finals of Euro 2016, but admits that will always be a concern. "A member of the club's medical staff also works with us [Wales], talking to him they've been careful and done what is right for Gareth and what is right for the long-term so in theory there will be no setbacks," he said. "We're crossing our fingers that there will not be any set-backs. We see with players coming back from injuries we've seen it with Manchester City's star Vincent Kompany this season. "There is nothing sadder for me than to see a player who is coming back from injury and gets injured straight away afterwards. It's mentally difficult for players to take. "We're crossing our fingers that Gareth Bale can carry on so he can get to enjoying his football again". 11 July 2016 Last updated at 16:45 BST It comes after a number of shootings in America involving black people and police officers. Ayshah has been looking into what's been going on. George, 27, only signed for Gloucester a year ago after suffering relegation with London Welsh. Bower, 23, has spent two loan spells at Championship side Nottingham since making his Tigers debut in 2010. Worcester have also extended current prop Rob O'Donnell's contract. INS - Andries Pretorius (Cardiff Blues), Matt Cox, Ryan Mills, Dan George (all Gloucester), GJ Van Velze (Northampton), Charlie Mulchrone, Dan Sanderson, Ben Sowrey (all Rotherham), Joe Rees (Ospreys), Heath Stevens (Plymouth Albion), Sam Smith (Harlequins), Niall Annett (Ulster), Nick Schonert (Cheetahs), Tom Biggs (Bath), Ryan Bower (Leicester) OUTS - Josh Matavesi (Ospreys), David Lemi, Chris Brooker (Bristol), Mariano Galarza (Gloucester) Liverpool-born O'Donnell, 28, who arrived from Rotherham on a two-year contract in 2012, has signed a new, unspecified-length contract. With two matches left this season, and Warriors still in with a slim chance of staying in the Premiership, director of rugby Dean Ryan and assistant Carl Hogg have now brought in an entire new team - with the prospect of more signings and departures to come. "I am pleased with how the forward pack is shaping up ahead of next season," said Ryan. "The arrival of Ryan and Dan, who both received international recognition in the early part of their career, will see us strengthen our options further. "Rob has made the most of the opportunities he has been presented with this season and will continue to be an important part of the squad next season." George, who will be Worcester's third summer signing from Gloucester, following back-row forward Matt Cox and centre Ryan Mills, is the more experienced of the latest two additions. He played for Llanelli and Carmarthen Quins before joining London Welsh. "It's exciting times ahead for the club," said George. "Having met with Dean and Carl, they have a very specific view in which direction they want the club to go in. Under their guidance the future of Worcester rugby looks good." Nuneaton-born Bower, a product of the Leicester Tigers academy, also admitted that Ryan had sold the club well to him, as he follows in the footsteps of Tigers stand-off Ryan Lamb, who arrived from Welford Road in February. "Dean's vision is something that really appealed to me," said Bower. "I jumped at the chance to be part of it and play a role in the long-term success of the club. "I have immensely enjoyed my time at Leicester and must thank Richard Cockerill and the rest of the backroom staff, who have helped me develop my game during my time at Welford Road. "I would also like to thank all involved at Nottingham. I really appreciate the opportunity they gave me to play regular Championship rugby and develop as a young player." Shane Maughan, 20, of St Helens, Merseyside, was driving a silver Ford Mondeo when the crash occurred at about 01:00 GMT on Saturday, on Manchester Road in Burnley. He died at the scene. The taxi driver, 48, suffered serious chest and leg injuries and was taken to Royal Preston Hospital. His two female passengers, aged 58 and 38, received head injuries. They are all from the Burnley area and are now recovering, police said. A Toyota Yaris, which was parked and unattended at the time, was also damaged in the collision. Lancashire Police said the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as a matter of routine after the Mondeo was spotted by a police officer on Rossendale Road shortly before the crash, but there was no pursuit. Now 58 years old, while he still competes in the ring from time to time, his main job is running his sandwich shop in Mexico City. Which he does while still wearing his silver and black mask. The eatery - Tortas Super Astro - is a homage to Mexican wrestling, known in its homeland as lucha libre (free wrestling). Pictures and paintings of Super Astro and other masked heroes line the walls, and it specialises in giant portions to meet the calorie needs of the numerous wrestlers among its regular customers. The signature sandwich is a torpedo-shaped roll called the Super Special Astro. Some 16 inches (41cm) in length, it weighs 2.5kg (5.5lb), and it is filled with beef, chicken, ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, omelette, onions, tomatoes and avocados. It costs 270 pesos ($17; £12), but if you can eat it in less than 20 minutes, you don't have to pay. Not many people manage that feat. Super Astro first opened the business back in 1986 because despite the enduring popularity of lucha libre in Mexico, the wrestlers were paid very little. He says he realised that there would be demand for a sandwich shop that provided giant amounts of food for low prices. And at the same time, that the eatery would also give him a more dependable source of income. Fast forward 26 years, and Mexican wrestlers still don't get paid very much, particularly in comparison with the stars of the US behemoth that is World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). For while WWE wrestlers can easily pocket $2m (£1.3m) a year, the best lucha libre fighters earn about $1,600 at the largest weekly events, and most are paid significantly less. Is it a sport? Like most modern forms of wrestling, lucha libre is known as "sports entertainment". This is because the matches are designed primarily for spectacle and entertainment rather than as an out-and-out competitive sport Why the masks? Most lucha libre wrestlers wear masks due to a tradition that dates back to the 1930s Lucha libre wrestlers are not allowed to pull off an opponent's mask. Masks are generally only removed if a player loses As well as wearing a mask, the wrestler take on a stage name, with some playing hero characters, and others performing as baddies The wresters are known as "luchadores", and traditionally they perform more aerial moves than wrestlers in the US-based World Wrestling Entertainment Despite continuing grumbles from the Mexican wrestlers that the promoters take too much of the cash, there is simply not a great deal of money in the industry. Although lucha libre has a loyal fanbase, its popularity in Mexico is dwarfed by the likes of football, baseball and boxing. And while the biggest two or three lucha libre events of the year can attract crowds of 17,000, most weekly fights see attendances of between 1,000 and 3,000 people, with tickets costing about 300 pesos. Numerous fights are shown on TV, but one of the two biggest lucha libre organisations, the family-owned Lucha Libre AAA, continues to make most of its money from ticket sales, and sponsorship. As a result, AAA's annual turnover is about $20m, compared with $500m at WWE. The lucha libre industry also has to cope with Mexicans being able to watch WWE fights on their televisions, and even with WWE holding a few meetings in Mexico each year. Yet despite the pressures on lucha libre, the small firms that form its backbone - such as the makers of the celebrated masks, and AAA itself - continue to have big ambitions to thrive. Lucha libre traces its origin back to the second half of the 19th century. It takes its name from the fact that many more wrestling moves were allowed than the more formal Greco-Roman wrestling from which it developed. Lucha libre became popular across the whole of Mexico in the 1930s. The wearing of masks started around the same time when an Irish wrestler living in Mexico known as "Cyclone McKey" wanted to become the first masked wrestler. Cyclone McKey got a mask made for him out of goat skin by a shoemaker called Antonio Martinez. Despite not liking the first design, the Irish fighter started to order additional batches from the shoemaker, and soon other wrestlers were copying him, and going to Mr Martinez for their own masks. The business is today called Martinez Sports, and run by the late Mr Martinez's son Victor. One of a handful of traditional wrestling mask makers in Mexico, it produces 450 per week, from bespoke designs that require 17 measurements of the wrestler's face, and cost $100, to more affordable off-the-peg versions. These days the masks are made from man-made fibres to make them lighter and more breathable. Despite much cheaper Chinese-made masks being available, both worldwide and in Mexico itself, Martinez Sports continues to enjoy strong business. It supplies a majority of the 250 or so professional wrestlers in Mexico, and in recent years has set up a website to sell to wrestling fans around the world. Victor Martinez says: "My dad was a perfectionist, and he left me that legacy. It is my responsibility to maintain his prestige. "Today the masks remain one of the key elements that give life to wrestling. "The Chinese imitations look amateurish, they never have the quality of a professional mask, the quality isn't the same." At AAA, the organisation is working hard to create new revenue streams for the sport, such as recently helping to create a wrestling video game. It also hopes to get lucha libre onto television screens in the US via establishing a reality TV programme looking at the lives of wrestlers. Back at Super Astro's sandwich bar, Super Astro says despite the pressures it is under, lucha libre will continue to be popular. "There is still a lot to offer to the public that is faithful to us," he says. "The public still demanding it, enjoy it and pay to see a good show." His optimism is echoed by former fighter Nicolas Sanchez, 52, (known to his old fans as Modern Hercules), who now runs a gym in Mexico city where wrestlers train. "Wrestling is part of Mexico, lives in the heart of people," he says. "Here come young people with enthusiasm, they want to be wrestlers, who dream and step into the ring to be stars. We and the coaches are here to support their dreams." However, Victor Martinez is not so optimistic, grumbling that lucha libra is losing some of the more intricate and acrobatic wrestling moves of the past, to instead become more like the showbiz and brute force of WWE. "Wrestling is not what it was before," he says. "Now it's more spectacle, more circus and less sport. But people still like it, that will not change." The film-makers were selected by a panel of judges in the categories of Feature Documentary, Short Documentary, Reportage, Short Film and Young Journalist Award. The winners were chosen from a shortlist of 20 entries. The awards marked the finale of the second annual four-day film and documentary festival. The festival brought to London "stories directly from the streets of a region in flux," said programmes editor Sam Farah. It aims to present short films and documentaries from across the Middle East, by Arab and non-Arab film-makers. The winners were judged on their vision, creativity and storytelling ability, the organisers said. The winners are: The awards were hosted by Iranian-born British stand-up comedian and author, Shappi Khorsandi. The company is launching a Suggested Videos feed that curates a sequence of clips, interspersed with adverts. Videos that keep people watching for longer will earn a greater share of the revenue from these ads, with Facebook keeping 45% for itself. Facebook says its users clock up four billion video views daily. One expert said it posed a threat to YouTube. "Facebook is aggressively moving into the video space," said Eleni Marouli, advertising analyst at IHS consultancy. "In December 2014, Facebook surpassed YouTube in views for the first time, and we predict YouTube will lose share from next year onwards." In June, US broadcaster HBO announced it would stream some of its programmes on Facebook. Offering a cash incentive could encourage more publishers to upload on the platform. While YouTube gives content creators 55% of the revenue from ads displayed before their videos, Facebook will split the 55% it is offering between several creators. "It's not an unusual, or generous model," said Ms Marouli. "But we could see a monetisation battle between Facebook and YouTube, to entice creators onto the platform." Facebook made $3.3bn (£2.1bn) in ad revenue in the first quarter of 2015, 73% of it from mobile ads. "Facebook is very adaptable," said Ms Marouli. "In 2012, they had zero mobile-ad revenue. In two years, they've raised that to over 60% of their ad income. "Based on our forecasts, by 2018 Facebook will have 25% of online video ad revenue in Europe, and more in the US," said Ms Marouli. Andrew Webb, duty editor of the BBC Shorts 15-second news video service, has these tips: Facebook says it is testing the Suggested Videos feed for iPhone users in the US and that the revenue-sharing arrangement will not begin immediately. While YouTube allows most users to monetise their videos, Facebook says it is working with a group of media companies and chosen individuals for the time being. One likely concern for video creators is that it is more difficult to search for videos on Facebook than YouTube at the moment. But Ms Marouli said money might still be a deciding factor. "The big players don't need tech companies like Facebook and YouTube to get their content out," she told the BBC. "If they aren't happy with the deal on offer, they could pull out completely, like Channel 4 did with YouTube." Around 170 countries and territories were expected to take part on Saturday, by turning off non-essential lights at 20:30 local time. The event, which reaches its 10th anniversary this year, is organised by conservation group WWF. "We started Earth Hour in 2007 to show leaders that climate change was an issue people cared about," said coordinator Siddarth Das. "For that symbolic moment to turn into the global movement it is today, is really humbling and speaks volumes about the powerful role of people in issues that affect their lives." Many employers will have to increase salaries when the new £7.20 an hour measure comes into effect next April. Ciaran O'Neill, Northern Ireland Hotels Federation president, said it posed a major challenge for the entire sector. "The biggest cost in any restaurant or hotel is people," he told the BBC's Inside Business programme. Announced by Chancellor George Osborne in the Budget, the compulsory National Living Wage will be paid to both full-time and part-time workers aged 25 and above. Initially, it will be set at £7.20 an hour, with a target of it reaching more than £9 an hour by 2020. Mr O'Neill said: "We will have to rise to it as an industry and deal with it, because the train isn't stopping. "If you introduce the living wage at the scale that the government is talking about until 2020, that is going to put a lot of restaurants, in particular, out of business because they can't afford those wages." Inside Business is available on the BBC iPlayer. Approaching their victim on Moss Lane East, Moss Side on 15 June, one of them said he could not claim his £500,000 win as he did not have a bank account. He told the victim he would share his winnings if he gave them £10,000. The man agreed to their request before collecting the money from a bank and his home. The suspects then drove away. They made their getaway, Greater Manchester Police said, after persuading their victim into going into a chemist's shop for them. The suspects told him that because they were aged under 50, they were not allowed to collect some medication. As "security", the victim took £5 and the "winning" lottery ticket from the suspects. When the 80-year-old emerged from the shop, the men - and the £10,000 - had vanished, police said. When he later tried to claim on the lottery ticket, he found out it was fake. Det Con Lucia Barnes said: "This was a shameless swindling of a vulnerable 80-year-old man who is still very distressed and suffers flashbacks of this incident." The two-day walkout ended at midnight but all routes are expected to be affected throughout Thursday. A reduced service is operating across the Southern network with no service on some routes due to the ongoing overtime ban by Aslef drivers. Talks are being held at Acas to prevent further strikes, including on Friday. Southern passenger services director Angie Doll said: "We will be working hard to run as many services as possible. "But, regrettably, I have to warn passengers that services will be severely impacted, with reductions and cancellations across all routes." There are no trains on some routes, including between East Croydon and Milton Keynes Central, and on the Gatwick Express between the airport and Brighton. There are no direct trains between London and either Portsmouth or Southampton, or London and Reigate, with a very limited peak service between Brighton and London. A bus service is in operation between Lewes and Seaford. Services are expected to be disrupted during the evening as drivers prepare to take further strike action on Friday, Southern said. The train operator said the overtime ban by the Aslef union would continue to have an impact on services every day. Talks have been held at conciliation service Acas in a bid to prevent further strikes. Aslef said progress was made on Wednesday, but a planned strike on Friday would still go ahead. Negotiations are due to resume later. Both Aslef and the RMT union, which has been staging separate strikes since April, are planning further stoppages. The two unions are in dispute over changes to guards' roles on driver-only operated (DOO) trains, which would see drivers opening and closing doors. The RMT fears jobs cuts and has safety concerns, while Aslef has described DOO as "inherently unsafe". Aslef's general secretary, Mick Whelan, has said DOO is "old, not new technology" designed for four-car trains in the early 1980s. He said rail workers now have 1,100 passengers on a 12-car train and, under DOO, two seconds to check 24 sets of doors. The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, has said trains where drivers close the doors are safe. It has claimed that a third of trains across Britain operate this way and have done so safely for 30 years. Tim Loughton, the Conservative MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, is to put a bill before parliament to make it easier for passengers to get compensation and to increase financial penalties paid by train companies. He said: "GTR are paid over £1bn to run the rail service, they paid fines of just over £2m. "That is a fraction of 1% and I don't think that is hurting them in the pocket enough to give them the sense of urgency to make sure their trains run on time and don't get cancelled." Mr Loughton said he wants a new rail ombudsman to be put in place. He said: "We don't have a proper ombudsman with teeth at the moment. "The job of the ombudsman will be to deal with complaints properly, proper recompense and to run that compensation system, and to flag up where there is serial abuse by rail operating companies that are not providing the service they should be and to haul them up accordingly." 00:01 Friday 16 December to 23:59: Friday 16 December (Aslef and RMT drivers' strike) 00:01 Monday 19 December to 23:59 Tuesday 20 December (RMT conductors' strike) 00:01 Saturday 31 December to 23:59 Monday 2 January (RMT conductors' strike) 00:01 Monday 9 January to 23:59: Saturday 14 January (Aslef and RMT drivers' strike) A revelation in his first campaign with the Swans, injuries and inaction have seen the Spaniard slide into relative obscurity with six goalless appearances for Napoli. Swansea manager Garry Monk will discuss Michu's future with him in the summer, and he faces a tricky decision. Should Monk convince the club's former top-scorer to stay at the Liberty Stadium once he returns from Italy? Or should the Swans offload a 29-year-old with one year left on his contract and a dwindling transfer value? "I've got a good relationship with Michu. We were team-mates so I knew him anyway and being a manager we have that relationship still," says Monk. "I talked to him very well in the summer, saw he wanted to go and I was fine with that, so it will be the same sort of situation come this summer." A £2m signing from Rayo Vallecano, Michu rather passed under the radar as pundits made their predictions for the 2012-13 Premier League season. He announced his arrival in spectacular fashion, however, scoring two goals in Swansea's 5-0 opening-day thrashing of Queens Park Rangers. Swansea were top of the table after three games and, with Michu scoring in all three wins, the languid, shaggy-haired Spaniard was soon ubiquitous. Manager Michael Laudrup described his acquisition as the "bargain of the season", while Sir Alex Ferguson joked he would be having a word with Manchester United's scouting department after failing to spot this hitherto unknown talent. With some of the Premier League's bigger clubs rumoured to be circling, Swansea gave Michu a new contract in January 2013 which would expire in 2016. Buoyed by his improved terms, he went on to score 22 goals in all competitions and was named Swansea's player of the year in a memorable season in which they won the Capital One Cup. Michu's seemingly irresistible rise showed no signs of slowing as he made a breezy start to his second season, scoring the first goal of the Swans' Europa League campaign in a 4-0 win over Malmo. He also struck in the famous 3-0 victory away against former Champions League finalists Valencia, as Swansea continued to dazzle under Laudrup. Michu's displays were particularly sparkling, catching the eye of Spain's World Cup-winning manager Vicente del Bosque and earning a debut in a World Cup qualifier against Belarus in October 2013. With the likes of Xavi and Cesc Fabregas in the Spanish side that day, Michu was in esteemed company. But that remains his only cap to date. After his winning debut for the then world champions, Michu soon saw his season fall apart. Less than a month later, he sustained what seemed to be an innocuous ankle injury during a 1-0 south Wales derby defeat at the Cardiff City Stadium. After a hasty return for two matches in December, Michu was sidelined until March, his last goal of the season coming in October. After an underwhelming end to his second term at Swansea, Michu joined Napoli on a season-long loan in what appeared to be an attempt to revitalise his career. However, the move to Italy has not proved to be the revival Michu had hoped for. The Spaniard has made only six appearances this season - his last coming back in October in a Europa League defeat by Young Boys. Injuries have hampered the 29-year-old but, even when fit, he has found himself behind Gonzalo Higuain, Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens, Manolo Gabbiadini, Marek Hamsik and others in the attacking pecking order. Monk is sympathetic and believes a fit Michu - whether that is at Swansea or another club - could rediscover his former glories. "It's just his injuries. He hasn't had a sustained period when he's been fit, which is always hard as a player," says Monk. "He's been unfortunate - nothing else but that. "If he can get himself a sustained period when he's not injured, you will see the same quality he has always shown here." This is the country's fifth test. Why are the North Koreans doing it, and why is it important? Well, there have been some reasons given by the North Koreans themselves - and then there are some that need to be read between the lines: Unstated, but clearly obvious, was anger at US and South Korean plans to install an anti-missile defence system in the South, along with the traditional lambasting of the annual US-South Korea joint military exercises. North Korea is an isolated communist nation run by an unpredictable 32-year-old "supreme leader" with his hands on an unspecified nuclear arsenal and seemingly immune to any global pressure to give it up. Kim Jong-un's aggression and invective show no sign of abating. If anything they are getting worse. The North's southern neighbour- still technically at war with the North because the 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, not a treaty - and Japan are particularly nervous. The North has also often stated its aim of targeting the US. The US and Russia have already indicated that there will be more discussions at the UN. A resolution of condemnation is one course of action, given that no nation on the Security Council is likely to block it. There have already been five sets of UN sanctions and more may well be on the agenda, such as blocking the export of fuel oil to North Korea, but how effective they would be is unclear. China's response will be the most important. It has to balance opposition to the North's nuclear actions with a desire not to destabilise its volatile neighbour. The former Chelsea player has 81 caps and 29 goals for his country but hinted he could be about to end his nine-year career with the Elephants. He told BBC Sport: "I won the Africa Cup of Nations and played in two World Cups. But you have to think about if it is the right moment to stop. "I turn 30 this year and I will start having to think about resting my body." Kalou added that he feels it might be the right time to focus on his club, Hertha Berlin. He joined the German Bundesliga side in August 2014 and scored six goals in his first season. "Last year was a tough year - and also I was away at the African Cup of Nations - but I learned a lot. This season I am aiming to score at least 15 goals," he said.

Mr Fallon told the BBC's Andrew Marr show 1,000 troops would be sent next year and 3,000 in 2017, chiefly in response to the threat posed by Russia. He accused Vladimir Putin of "sabre-rattling" and said it was important for the UK to commit to Nato's mission. Tory backbenchers and US officials have expressed concerns at UK defence cuts. On President Putin, Mr Fallon told the BBC: "He's clearly building up his conventional forces, he's modernising his nuclear weapons. "So it is sabre rattling and that's why we have to continue to strengthen Nato, offer Nato more reassurance through these larger scale exercises. "We're doing our bit, but it's very important we send Putin this message that we are determined in our commitment to the collective defence of Nato." After 1,000 troops are sent next year and 3,000 the year after, a battle group will be committed in each year after that until 2021, Mr Fallon said. In addition to this, he said UK Typhoons currently flying over the Baltic would be sent back next year. A demand from the chancellor for a further £500m in Ministry of Defence cuts has fuelled worries that the UK may drop below Nato's target of spending 2% of GDP on defence. When pressed on whether the UK would continue to meet that target, Mr Fallon said: "We can't set the budget on this programme, we set the budget in September, then you'll have your answer. "But we already have three very strong commitments in our manifesto to go on increasing spend on equipment, to go on replacing the four ballistic submarines, and not to cut the Army further. "There is your commitment." BBC News political correspondent Chris Mason said the defence secretary was attempting to strike back against critics, but would know the pressure to do more for less was not likely to go away. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Fallon said the Nato boost showed ministers were determined to do "whatever it takes" to keep the country safe. He pointed out the UK defence budget at £34bn a year was the fifth biggest in the world. He also highlighted the UK's involvement in tackling Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, training it has undertaken in Afghanistan and Ukraine, and its aid efforts in Sierra Leone and Nepal. "No country in Europe is playing such a strong global role," he said. "This step-up in our international defence effort is needed because the world is becoming a darker place." Mr Fallon added that "those who belittle our armed forces' efforts fail to recognise that our national security depends on tackling the causes of instability, not just treating the symptoms". This included using "soft power," such as diplomacy and engagement, to help weaker countries build stronger institutions and law enforcement, and to promote women's rights, he said. The British Army is already undergoing a 20% reduction in regular troop numbers, from 102,000 in 2010 to 82,000 in 2020. This is to be accompanied by a rise in the number of reservists, from 24,000 to 30,000. The Royal Navy and the RAF are both preparing to lose 5,000 regulars and gain 500 reservists over the same period. In March, the US Army's most senior general spoke publicly about his fears of a shrinking British commitment to defence. And when US President Obama discussed the UK's defence budget with David Cameron this month, he pressed him to enable Britain to meet the Nato target. Mr Fallon said the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review would examine the threats the UK faced "and the capabilities we need to tackle them".

The UK commitment to a rapid reaction force being set up by Nato is to be extended by three years, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said.

Cahill, 26, passed a medical on Saturday, before attending Chelsea's 1-0 Premier League win over Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. "Chelsea is a massive club that looks to win trophies season in, season out," said the England defender. "It is a big opportunity for me to be a part of that. Opportunities like this you can't turn down," he added. "This is the right move for me at the right time. "I would like to thank everybody at Bolton because I have had a great four years at the football club. "My spell with Wanderers has enabled me to break into the England squad. "I would particularly like to thank the fans for their support along the way." Chelsea and Bolton agreed the fee at the end of last month, but Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas revealed that club and player were "miles apart" over personal terms. Reports had suggested Manchester United were also interested in signing Cahill, who would have been out of contract at the Reebok in the summer. But Villas-Boas has finalised the deal to strengthen his defensive options ahead of the Blues' triple assault on the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Centre-back Alex is set to leave Stamford Bridge, the Blues having discussed a fee for the Brazilian with west London neighbours QPR. BBC Sport understands that second-bottom Bolton will reinvest all of Cahill's fee into new players as they look to stave off relegation. Bolton boss Owen Coyle has been linked with signing 24-year-old USA international defender Tim Ream, who recently trained with the club, as Cahill's replacement. Cahill signed off his Wanderers career on 5 January by scoring the winning goal as he captained the side to a 2-1 victory at Everton. The Sheffield-born player, who joined Bolton in a £5m move from Aston Villa in January 2008, made 147 appearances for the Trotters, scoring 15 goals. He made his first England start against Ghana in March 2011, scoring his first international goal in the 3-0 victory over Bulgaria in September. Every year, China is plagued by tens of thousands of "mass incidents" - a catch-all phrase that the government uses to describe riots, protests and strikes. Many are about land rights. Villagers often accuse local officials of taking their land without offering proper compensation. But corruption in local government - an issue China's top leaders readily admit to - is only one part of the problem. China's property laws also seem to create conflict because they largely deprive farmers of the right to control the land they work. And if there are disagreements, they can easily result in angry demonstrations, organised by villagers who often feel they have no other option. The stand-off between local people and the authorities in the village of Wukan over land rights is a common dispute. Some believe the central problem is that there is no private land ownership in China - it is all, in effect, owned by the government. Farmers are simply allocated land for a set period of time. Eva Pils, an associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said this puts too much power in the hands of local governments. "This can lead to corruption and abuse of power," said Ms Pils, who has studied the issue. One problem is the level of compensation given to farmers for expropriated land, which is based on the amount of money a farmer can earn from it - not on the higher value local officials get when they sell it. Ms Pils said some Chinese researchers have estimated that villagers can get as little as 5% of the value of the land in compensation. This seems an obvious source of discontent among villagers. But persuading local governments not to sell off farmland is tricky, partly because they get so much of their income from it. Economists estimate land sales account for up to a third of local government revenue. Some local authorities, such as in the city of Chengdu, have begun programmes that give farmers more legal rights over farmland. This allows them to benefit if their land is earmarked for development. China's land ministry believes this is a key part of protecting farmers' rights. "The lack of legal proof on rural land ownership has left farmers' interests poorly protected," said an article on this issue published by China's state-run news agency Xinhua. The ministry uncovered 37,000 cases of illegal land use in China in the first nine months of this year, according to Xinhua. But why do so many land disputes result in conflict with the authorities? The answer to that question may lie in China's determination to maintain social stability by cracking down on anyone who could undermine it. The Communist Party believes this is an essential tool in maintaining power. Yu Jianrong, one of China's leading rural researchers, said that in many cases this means "normal expressions of public will are branded as illegal behaviour". Farmers who complain about land grabs often find no sympathy from the local authorities, the courts or the police - and sometimes are themselves accused of stirring up trouble. "Rigid stability is about defining absolute social calm as the objective of governance," wrote Mr Yu in an article carried by the China Media Project, a Hong-Kong-based centre that monitors the media in China. "[The authorities see] each and every act of resistance as disorder and chaos, all to be struck down and suppressed through whatever means possible." In these circumstances it is not hard to see how minor disputes over land can quickly spiral out of control. It is difficult to calculate exactly how many "mass incidents" occur in China every year because the government is reluctant to release figures. A report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences released this year quoted figures of up to 60,000 a year, but it only referred to data for the decade between 1993 and 2003. Other Chinese academics suggest there could have been up to 180,000 mass incidents last year. Whatever the figures, the fact that the government is coy about releasing them suggests they are embarrassingly high. Adam Johnson's penalty before half-time gave the hosts an undeserved lead, after Coloccini was penalised for a push on Steven Fletcher and dismissed. The furious visitors saw Aleksandar Mitrovic denied by Costel Pantilimon. But Billy Jones' close-range finish and Fletcher's volley sealed the win. Sunderland's controversial first-half penalty changed the match after the Magpies had dominated the opening 45 minutes. The victory sees Sam Allardyce's men move ahead of Newcastle on goal difference and up two places to third from bottom in the table. Relive Sunderland's win here Newcastle were furious with referee Robert Madley's decision because the penalty and resulting dismissal of their skipper changed the shape of what was a crucial Wear-Tyne derby. The Black Cats had been second best throughout the first half, with just three shots compared to Newcastle's 12, but were handed a route into the game when Coloccini was adjudged to have fouled Fletcher. The defender ran across Fletcher as he attempted to latch on to a through-ball but appeared to ease him out of the way with his shoulder with the ball running to goalkeeper Rob Elliot. Madley though believed there was an infringement and, having awarded the penalty, was left with little choice but to send him off for preventing a goalscoring opportunity. The Football Association's law on impeding an opponent says: " A player who places himself between an opponent and the ball for tactical reasons has not committed an offence as long as the ball is kept within playing distance and the player does not hold off the opponent with his arms or body. "If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent." Media playback is not supported on this device Allardyce has never been relegated from the Premier League as a manager, keeping the likes of Blackburn, Bolton and West Ham in the top flight. Rarely can he have taken such a tough job on though, with the Black Cats bottom of the table going into Sunday's match on the back of a 12-game winless run. He has never lost his opening Premier League home game in charge of a club though and became the fourth consecutive Sunderland boss to beat Newcastle in his second game in charge. Allardyce will know his side have a battle to stay up but the manner of Fletcher's final goal, volleying home a sweeping move late on, and a first clean sheet of the season will be reason for hope. To rub salt into the wound for Newcastle fans, Allardyce had an unpopular spell in charge of the Magpies in the 2007-08 season. And these fans have not had much reason for optimism in recent months, with just one win now from the last 21 league matches. They must have thought the corner had been turned when, after thrashing Norwich 6-2 last time out, they controlled the first 45 minutes of the derby. But, following the dismissal of Coloccini, their afternoon took a turn for the worse as Steve McClaren's 200th Premier League game as a manager ended in an 82nd defeat. Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce told BBC Sport: "We've carried that precious piece of history on - the fourth manager to beat Newcastle in their second game as Sunderland boss. Media playback is not supported on this device "This was quite an achievement considering the low ebb we're in at the moment - facing a rival with the extra pressure of having won the last five derbies." Newcastle manager Steve McClaren said: "We were the better side by a distance. We controlled it, created chances and never looked like giving away anything at the back. Even with 10 men in the second half we still controlled it. Referee decisions are out of your control. "It was never a penalty. The penalty and red card was a double whammy. In the first half the team were excellent. I was totally relaxed. We were in control. I said to players that's what we must continue. If we continue doing that and get decisions right then we'll do OK." Sunderland will look to build on their first win of the season away to Everton next weekend, while Newcastle entertain Stoke in the Premier League. Match ends, Sunderland 3, Newcastle United 0.

Davies, 29, will start his sixth successive Lions Test in the series decider against the All Blacks at Eden Park on Saturday. The centre also played in three Test matches against Australia four years ago when the tourist won 2-1. "He has been a rock in that backline," said Roberts, a 2009 and 2013 Lion. Roberts and Davies featured together in the decisive third Test victory over Australia in 2013, and have started 47 matches together for Wales. "He has been the outstanding outside centre in Britain over the last four years and has come of age," said 30-year-old Roberts. "He has shown in the Test matches how good a player he is. He has a great hand-off and has been superb defensively." The Lions changed their midfield after the first Test defeat in Auckland, with Owen Farrell's creativity preferred to the more direct approach of Ben Te'o at inside centre. The back three selection has also been discussed widely before the Lions settled on Liam Williams at full-back, with Elliot Daly and Anthony Watson on each wing. But Roberts believes Davies has been the one constant, just as he was in Australia four years ago when he started the first two Tests with Brian O'Driscoll before linking up with Roberts for the final game. "There has been a lot of debate around the 10/12 position and the back three," said Roberts. "But Jon has set his stall out at 13 after getting concussed in the first game. Since then he has been outstanding." Davies is not the only Welsh player to achieve a notable milestone on this Lions tour. Second-row Alun-Wyn Jones will also become the first player to feature in every Test on three consecutive Lions tours since the game turned professional in 1995. "They are both very special," said Roberts, who has three Lions Test appearances and 93 caps for Wales. "For us as players the Lions is an amazing achievement in our careers. "I am sure those guys won't be celebrating those achievements too hard ahead of Saturday or before the end of their careers when they look back and reflect. "They are two very humble guys who work very hard at their jobs. "Alun-Wyn is a magnificent player and a real leader. Nobody is more deserving of a start on Saturday." Roberts believes a Lions Test series victory over New Zealand would be an "incredible" achievement. Warren Gatland's side took the series to a deciding Test by beating the All Blacks in Wellington last Saturday, and another victory will make them the first Lions side to win a series in New Zealand since 1971. But the All Blacks have not lost twice in a row at home since 1998 and have not been beaten at Eden Park since France won in 23 years ago. "If they do win it will be one of the greatest Lions achievements ever, but there won't be too much talk of that in camp," added Roberts. "It's a similar position to four years ago although the sequence on Test wins has changed. "Everyone knows how big the game is, it's all about staying focused. "You have to try and eliminate the occasion and the crowd and focus on 80 minutes of a brutal Test match. And it will be brutal. "They are playing the All Blacks at Eden Park and they know how big a challenge that is with no team winning there in a long time." Roberts says the Lions have shown they have the character to triumph. "It's going to be a huge test of resilience and that's what I have admired about this Lions side," said Roberts. "In that second Test when the penalty count was coming against them hard, they played some shots in attack, showed some courage and scored some good tries. It was magnificent. "Knowing when to pull the trigger and choosing to attack has been the cornerstone of their success. "In the pressure games they have been magnificent. Their defence has been great. "If they can maintain this and take some risks in attack hopefully we can see another win on Saturday."

The BBC Sport website will broadcast a simulcast of the TV and radio output, and at live races will also have the 'driver tracker', on-board cameras and a pit-lane stream. Legendary F1 commentator Murray Walker will be providing a series of archive-based videos and written articles for every race of the season. 'Murray's Memories' are his personal recollections of some of the greatest moments in the history of F1. Coverage of the F1 season is now available on our new BBC Sport smartphone app, available for iPhone and Android devices. The app brings together BBC Sport's live and on-demand video coverage, along with news, features and stats. It was bought by Retail Acquisitions, a vehicle led by Dominic Chappell, who had no retailing experience and had been declared bankrupt at least twice. The MPs will also scrutinise the checks carried out on Retail Acquisitions before the deal was completed. Lord Grabiner, chairman of Sir Philip's empire, will be among those attending. The barrister and long-time associate of Sir Philip has agreed to attend the joint session of the Commons Business and Work and Pensions select committees on Monday afternoon despite stating he had "no involvement" in the talks that led to the BHS sale. Neither did he attend the board meeting that approved the deal. Lord Grabiner's cousin, Ian Grabiner, is chief executive of Sir Philip's Arcadia Group, which owns chains including Topshop. Business select committee chairman Iain Wright told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that there were "real questions to answer" regarding the role of Sir Philip and of the wider Arcadia group, as well as the advice that they received in the run-up to the sale of BHS. "We've not jumped to any conclusions whatsoever," he said. "We're going to listen very carefully to the answers from our questions and find out what the evidence suggests." Get your popcorn, take your seats and settle in for a piece of business theatre with elements of near-farce and tragedy. In all, 11,000 livelihoods and 20,000 pensions were affected when BHS collapsed with crippling debts. The mudslinging between a colourful cast of characters has only just started. The opening exchanges between MPs and the pension regulator now give way to the principal cast in the ill-starred sale of BHS for £1 to a relative unknown with a chequered history. The next few weeks of joint select committee investigations may at times seem like a game of Cluedo. Was it the former racing driver, twice-bankrupt yacht enthusiast with no retail experience? Was it the straight-talking flamboyant billionaire retail tycoon and his glamorous Monaco-based wife? Even the bit-players are important - the advisers from a variety of blue-chip firms who managed to combine in a way that effectively vouched for a buyer who many think shouldn't have passed the smell test. Read Simon Jack's blog in full BHS: Where as all the money gone? BHS went into administration last month, putting 164 shops and almost 11,000 jobs at risk. The firm's pension scheme has been left with a £571m deficit. During the initial day of hearings, MPs will be focusing on the advice given to Arcadia directors in the run-up to the sale, as well as the role that those directors played in overseeing the decision to sell BHS. Pensions advisers will be among those giving evidence. On Wednesday, the committees will question the advisers to Retail Acquisitions Limited, which bought BHS last year, as well as the BHS pension fund trustees. BHS management, the board of Retail Acquisitions, and its owner, Dominic Chappell, will give evidence on 8 June. A week later, on 15 June, the MPs will question Sir Philip. The two committees are holding separate inquiries relating to BHS, but these evidence sessions will be held jointly. Both players are 21 and have signed two-year contracts with the Gills. Egan came through the youth ranks at Sunderland but left the Stadium of Light earlier this summer after failing to make a senior appearance. Norris turned down a new deal at Brentford and Gillingham are currently negotiating on a compensation package with the Championship club. Norris, who joined the Bees in 2010 on a scholarship, made his senior debut in April 2012 and scored one goal in four appearances for the west Londoners. He had two loan spells away from Griffin Park last season, scoring five goals in 12 games at Northampton Town and four goals in 19 appearances at Dagenham & Redbridge. Egan, a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, moves to Priestfield on a free transfer. He enjoyed brief loan spells at Crystal Palace, Sheffield United and Bradford City earlier in his career and made 15 appearances for League Two side Southend towards the end of 2013-14. She now tours America and Europe with her haunting electro-folk music, but at just 3ft tall she plays her violin like a cello, enhanced by haunting electronic loops. "When I was in fourth grade I saw an orchestra which came to school and I remember being blown away by the sound," she says. "I actually wanted to play the cello because it's beautiful, but it's obviously really big." Lea from Duluth, Minnesota, who has Osteogenesis Imperfecta - or Brittle Bone Disease - settled for the much smaller, musical sister of the cello - the violin - after she scored 100% in a music aptitude test at school. It was a decision which would see her travel the world. "Because I did so well in the test, my teacher was really determined, and we experimented a lot until we worked out I could play the violin like a cello. "She could have said 'this isn't going to work' or 'you should have done choir' but she was really encouraging. We made a good team and I'm very grateful that she was so open minded." The duo developed a technique which involved Lea holding the bow "like a baseball bat" with the body of the instrument placed in front of her, like a cello, and attached to her foot so it wouldn't slip when she played. There were a few other workarounds which also had to be developed. "I can't use my fourth finger because of the angle of my right hand, so I had to re-write a lot of classical music. It makes it a little harder to do some stuff, but I practice a lot," she says. Lea turned to Celtic and American folk music when she was 18, after finding her busy schedule precluded her from joining the college orchestra. The haunting sound which is her trademark was developed when she started experimenting with a loop pedal which enabled her to build and repeat several layers of sound. "Looping fiddle music is one of my favourite concepts to play and it meant I could start doing solo shows," she says. "I have a set loop that I start with but its never the same twice because I improvise a lot." The inspiration for her songs and music comes from the people she knows or cares about and is often about the human condition. Lea says people "never have the same life experiences or outlook". "Usually the songs come into my mind with a melody and I'll play my violin to figure it out, but it's all in my head," she says. "Nothing is written down, except the odd chord." Lea released her debut solo album All the Roads that Lead Us Home in 2015, and last year won NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest - a name which does not reflect the height of the musicians - with her song Someday We'll Linger in the Sun which defeated more than 6,000 other submissions. "I didn't expect to win but it's meant playing in a few places including New York which was a dream of mine, but I really want to play Paris. "The thing that I love about performance is the energy in the room, when you're connected to the audience and that can happen anywhere - the pizza shop, a cafe, busking - I've had some moments where I've connected with the audience and it's like a spiritual experience." Despite the apparent ease with which she plays Lea has to contend with the continual challenges of Brittle Bone Disease - a genetic defect in the collagen in the bones. Source: Great Ormond Street Hospital„„ She has "only" broken 16 bones since she was born and is proud to say she hasn't had a fracture in the last five years. One of her arms is twisted which can make things more difficult, but she decided against a potentially life-changing operation for fear it could hamper her music career. Known in America as "rodding", the operation would have seen her arm and leg bones threaded onto a metal rod which would act as a splint and keep the bone aligned if it fractured. It could also have improved her mobility. "I actually chose not to walk and I'm happy," she says. "I could have had operations to put rods in my arms and my legs but there was no guarantee how well they'd work. I'd already started playing the violin so I didn't want to have my arms operated on and have my nerves damaged. "I use an electric wheelchair so I didn't feel I needed to walk to make my life more fulfilling. And I don't think I'd even be who I am without brittle bones so I don't regret the decision." When Lea is not on the road she works as a violin teacher and has 15 students on her books. "I teach them the regular way - with the violin up on their shoulder," she says. "I watched some videos so I knew how it should be held and I understood the physics but it was trial and error to begin with." Her students cover a vast age spectrum, and her main hope for them is that they always remain involved in music. "Music is such an important part of peoples' lives," she says. Throughout her own musical development Lea says she has come across some people who see her disability as an obstacle, but many others have been supportive. "If you think about it - I just play the violin at a different angle. It's still the same music but some people cant' get over the fact it's not regular. "I'm sure there'll be other challenges, but it's not impossible. And I don't want to be limited by my disability."

Ireland's Paul Dunne, England's Tommy Fleetwood and Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat are all on 10 under. Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. Overnight leader Henrik Stenson is among those a shot further back. England's Tyrrell Hatton, 25, winner of the 2016 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, is level with the Swede on nine under after shooting a 68. His fellow countryman Lee Westwood ended the day five shots off the pace after three-putting his final hole for a 69. Defending champion Rickie Fowler and US Open champion Dustin Johnson will play at the weekend after rounds of 68 left them on four under. But Masters champion Danny Willett missed the cut after he followed his opening-round 74 with a 76 to finish on four over. Kaymer, who produced an eagle on the par-five eighth and six birdies in a back nine of 31, said: "I'm not quite 100% happy yet with the way I played, but we always have those little things if you're a perfectionist. "I don't try to push at all, I just try to enjoy playing my favourite golf course. Once in a while a long putt drops in and you get some momentum and then maybe you can make another three or four birdies coming in like it happened today. Pushing, I have bad experience with pushing." The drug was discovered in vehicles on the Derrymacash Road on Friday. Three men, aged 32, 36 and 59, have been charged with possession, intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of class B drugs. They are due to appear at Lisburn Magistrates' Court on Monday. Dyna'r "llwybr iawn i'w ddilyn" er mwyn rhoi hwb i nifer y pleidleiswyr, meddai Jeremy Miles. Yn ôl y Prif Weinidog Carwyn Jones, nid yw Llywodraeth Cymru o blaid pleidleisio gorfodol, gan ychwanegu bod hynny'n "fath o esgus i wleidyddion". Ond mae BBC Cymru ar ddeall bod sawl aelod o'r cabinet yn bersonol o blaid cyflwyno'r newid. Does yr un o'r pleidiau gwleidyddol yng Nghymru yn cefnogi pleidleisio gorfodol yn swyddogol. Bydd y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn gyfrifol am drefn etholiadau ei hun yn y dyfodol, yn dilyn Deddf Cymru 2017. O ganlyniad fe all ACau benderfynu cyflwyno pleidleisio gorfodol, a gostwng yr oedran pleidleisio i 16 oed. Mae Awstralia yn un o 11 o wledydd sy'n gorfodi cyfranogaeth mewn etholiadau. Mae eraill sydd wedi mabwysiadau'r drefn ond sydd ddim yn ei orfodi. Gofynnwyd i Mr Miles, AC Castell-nedd, am ei safbwynt ar bleidleisio gorfodol. Dywedodd: "Dwi'n bersonol o blaid hynny, ond rwy'n credu bod angen cael dadl a sgwrs gyhoeddus er mwyn darbwyllo pobl mai dyna'r llwybr iawn i'w ddilyn. "Rhyw fath o gyfranogi gorfodol bydde fe, byse dim gorfodaeth ar unrhyw un i bleidleisio am unrhyw blaid yn benodol. "Bydde cyfle i bobl atal eu pleidlais tasan nhw ddim yn gallu dewis neu ar sail moesol." Dywedodd Carwyn Jones: "Nid ydym o blaid pleidleisio gorfodol. Fel llywodraeth, wrth gwrs, rydym ni wedi cymryd safbwynt ein bod ni eisiau gweld, mewn etholiadau Cynulliad, pobl ifanc 16 i 18 oed yn pleidleisio, ond nid ydym o blaid pleidleisio gorfodol." Ychwanegodd: "Mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud fy mod i'n ystyried weithiau bod pleidleisio gorfodol yn fath o esgus i wleidyddion. "Mae'n gyfrifoldeb i bob un ohonom, ar y cyd, i gynyddu'r nifer sy'n pleidleisio." Despite dominating possession and having more shots than in their last two games combined, the Magpies were unable to extend their early lead. "You do worry when you've had so many chances," McClaren told BBC Newcastle. "A couple of balls flashed through our box and I thought 'this would be cruel'. We hung on and deservedly so." Newcastle have the fifth worst goalscoring record in the division, with only 26 goals in 25 games, but McClaren has been encouraged by the chances his side are creating. He continued: "We've progressed and we've come on. We weren't even getting shots on target early in the season. "It's still a frustration - we really looked a good team going forward without getting the end product of more goals." The win moved Newcastle out of the relegation zone, one point clear of 18th-placed Norwich, while the Magpies ended a run of nine Premier League games without a clean sheet. "This is the football we need to play, not just in front of our fans but we need to play football like this away," said goalscorer Aleksandr Mitrovic. "It's a big, big three points but still we have 13 more finals - we need to play like this every week." The 26-year-old world number 82 had three match points at 5-2 in the second set but Dimitrov saved all three. The Bulgarian, ranked 40, then broke - but Evans held his nerve when serving for the match for a second time and converted his fifth match point. He will play either Lukas Lacko or Jack Sock for a place in the quarter-finals. Variety reports that Joel and Ethan Coen will write and direct the show, which will be set in the Old West. The scope of the programme, which is likely to be a mini-series, is reported to have been too ambitious to be covered in one feature film. Westerns are familiar territory for The Coens, who have previously made True Grit and No Country For Old Men. While this will be their first original TV series, they were credited as executive producers on the TV adaptation of their 1996 film Fargo. American Hustle producer Megan Ellison and Annapurna Television's president of television Sue Neagle will serve as executive producers on The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. The Coen brothers said in a statement: "We are very excited to be working with Megan and Sue on this project." The duo are the latest Hollywood names to venture into television. Silver Linings Playbook director David O Russell is developing a series for Amazon, which will star Julianne Moore and Robert De Niro.

A representative for Zayn confirmed that the couple had ended their relationship but didn't give out any more details. They'd been together since 2012, shortly after Little Mix won The X Factor. Perrie had told the BBC that she was looking forward to her wedding day because "it's where we say we're going to be together forever". However, Perrie wasn't wearing her diamond ring on a snap shared on Instagram by her bandmate Jesy Nelson on Monday. Zayn Malik left One Direction earlier this year and signed a solo record deal in July. Little Mix are in America at the moment on a promotional tour.

The group said it pressed Chechen officials for information on the missing men, but "they refused to tell us whether they were dead or alive". Memorial spoke to family and friends of the 13, after Novaya Gazeta had spoken of 27 shot dead one night in January. A Chechen minister condemned the Novaya Gazeta report as a "lie". Information Minister Jambulat Umarov said it was the "sick fantasy" of a journalist who "is trying to revive the gay topic". The alleged victims of summary execution were not among the dozens of gay men reportedly persecuted in Chechnya, whose fate triggered an international outcry earlier this year. There were reports of torture and gay activists helped some victims to flee the Muslim-majority North Caucasus republic. Novaya Gazeta specialises in exposing human rights abuses and corruption in Russia. It has long documented abuses in Chechnya, whose authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov is close to President Vladimir Putin. On 9 July, Novaya Gazeta named 27 male Chechen detainees believed to have been shot on the night of 25-26 January, then secretly buried. The information came from two senior officials - in Chechnya's Investigative Committee and presidential administration - the paper said. Despite that, Novaya Gazeta said it could not confirm the deaths because there was official silence. The paper named the 27, but said there were believed to be other victims too, all of whom had disappeared in a police crackdown in December. That crackdown - described by Novaya Gazeta as "mass arrests" - followed an assault on 17 December in which a gang killed a policeman and stole his car. After a chase they were killed by security forces. Human rights groups have accused Mr Kadyrov's feared "Kadyrovtsy" paramilitary police of arbitrary arrests and torture. Thousands of Chechens died or disappeared during two Russian wars against Chechen separatist rebels. An Amnesty International expert on Chechnya, Denis Krivosheev, told the BBC that the allegations by Memorial and Novaya Gazeta "look very credible". "We've worked with them for years, they are extremely cautious and often they have separate sources," he said. The reports are "entirely consistent with what we know about the authorities' impunity in Chechnya, a pattern of human rights abuses there", he explained. "It is unimaginable that abuse on this scale could take place without the full knowledge of Kadyrov and his associates," he said. Mr Krivosheev voiced concern that Russia was only at the "pre-investigation" stage regarding the plight of gay Chechen men. "In the last couple of years we've seen a deterioration of human rights in Chechnya, with attacks on human rights defenders and a policy of targeting the families of people suspected of links to insurgents. "Fear permeates Chechen society, so people are unwilling to provide evidence," Mr Krivosheev added. The stern message came after young pro-democracy activists won seats on Hong Kong's Legislative Council (LegCo). The Chinese government underlined its "resolute opposition" to any independence activities on the council or outside it. Many in Hong Kong are increasingly concerned about Beijing's interventions in its politics. Thirty pro-democracy candidates were elected to the 70-seat LegCo on Sunday, up from 27 previously, meaning they retain the ability to veto major constitutional changes. At least six young candidates who support self-determination or some level of greater independence for Hong Kong won seats. Hong Kong's elections in five insults They include Nathan Law, a 23-year-old who played a prominent role in 2014's "Umbrella Protests". Several candidates were banned from running in the elections for failing to prove they no longer backed Hong Kong's independence. The student activist and former Occupy protest leader is the most high-profile of the pro-democracy names to win a seat. He co-founded the Demosisto Party with well-known activist Joshua Wong and will now become the youngest lawmaker in Hong Kong. Convicted for his role in civil disobedience during the "Umbrella Protests", the soft-spoken activist has said the former British colony must be allowed a referendum on its future. He has said he does not want Hong Kong to become "just another Chinese city". Read more The Chinese government is strongly opposed to more political independence for Hong Kong. In a statement, China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office noted candidates had been publicly advocating for independence during the election campaign. "We firmly support the Hong Kong SAR [special administrative region] government to mete out penalties according to law," the Chinese state news agency Xinhua quoted it as saying. Tuesday's local edition of the state-owned China Daily newspaper said the election result could lead to "separatist ideas" being floated in the LegCo, AFP news agency reports. While Hong Kong is a Chinese SAR, it is run under the principle of "one country, two systems". This arrangement gives the former British colony a high degree of autonomy and allows it to preserve its economic and social systems until 2047. Sunday's election was the first in the territory since 2014's street demonstrations, when central areas of Hong Kong were paralysed for weeks by mostly young protesters calling for more autonomy from China. England winger Wade scored four tries in the first half before adding two more from interceptions in the second to seal a play-off place for Wasps. Worcester scored six tries of their own in a game which totalled 14 at Sixways. Wade, 24, equalled the previous record set by Saracens' Ryan Constable against Bedford exactly 16 years to the day. The British and Irish Lion's incredible individual display, on his 100th appearance for Wasps, saw him move to second on the leading Premiership try-scorers chart for this season, two behind Exeter's Thomas Waldrom with 13. His first try came after Frank Halai had scored Wasps' opener in response to an early Ryan Mills penalty, and by half-time Wade had stretched his personal tally to four, either side of Francois Hougaard and Cooper Vuna scores for the hosts. Wasps were seemingly out of sight at 33-15 ahead, but Worcester scored four more tries of their own in the second half to pick up a bonus point. However, Dean Ryan's side could never keep up with Wasps and especially Wade, as he broke away for two more of his own before replacement fly-half Alex Lozowski completed their scoring late on. Wasps climb above Exeter into second and look well set for a home semi-final in the play-offs with two games to play. Worcester director of rugby Dean Ryan: "We don't want to be involved in any end-of-season jamboree as we have a responsibility to the league. "The first 40 minutes weren't acceptable as we didn't apply ourselves as we were easily picked off. "I've no idea where that first-half performance came from, and comebacks are irrelevant. "I'm not dressing it up. We made it easy for them as we haven't been at the races for the past two games and I'm not prepared to let the season drift to an end." Wasps director of rugby Dai Young on Christian Wade's performance: "He's up there with the best. He's deadly and I wouldn't swap him for anyone. "It was a timely reminder from him that he's still about and shouldn't be forgotten for either the Saxons or England tours this summer." Saracens and England winger Chris Ashton on Wade's prospects of being named in Great Britain's Olympic sevens squad for Rio 2016: "He is amazing at sevens because he is so jinky and so quick of the mark. He's impossible to defend. "I'm sure he is thinking about Rio - and if I was him I would be too." Young on Wasps' win: "It was a great game and I really enjoyed watching it as both teams were prepared to play rugby and throw it about. "We had a couple of lucky breaks and interceptions at crucial times, which made it easier for us. "The dry pitch suited us but we looked a bit tired at times. We couldn't quite win the collisions and obviously we didn't want to ship that many points."

The law stopped people who receive disability benefits from buying guns, affecting an estimated 75,000 people. But Republicans, who control the Senate, argued it stigmatised the disabled and voted it down 57 to 43. President Donald Trump is set to approve revoking the rule, his first action on guns since taking power. It passed the House of Representatives last week. After the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy which killed 20 children and six adults in 2012, President Barack Obama introduced a measure that required the Social Security Administration to report information on people with mental illness to the FBI. Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old man who went on a shooting rampage at the elementary school, suffered from a variety of impairments including Asperger's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In an interview with the BBC, Mr Obama said his inability to pass "meaningful" gun legislation was his biggest frustration. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who led the repeal effort, said the regulation "unfairly stigmatises" people with mental illness and infringes on their constitutional right to bear arms. Mr Grassley used eating and sleep disorders as examples that could fall under the regulation requiring a more extensive background check. The regulation, however, does not stipulate that any person with a disability would be affected. Rather, it focuses on people who are unable to deal with their own finances and require a trustee to administer them. "If a specific individual is likely to be violent due to the nature of their mental illness, then the government should have to prove it," Mr Grassley said. But Mr Grassley was not alone in criticising the Obama era regulation. The American Civil Liberties Union and more than a dozen advocacy groups for the disabled opposed the rule, arguing it painted people with mental illness with too broad a brush. Democratic lawmakers also weighed in, criticising Republicans for making it easier for people with mental illness to obtain a firearm. "I don't know why we think that somebody who literally can't manage their own financial affairs could be a responsible gun owner," Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said. "I hope something truly awful doesn't happen because of this." Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, also condemned the resolution. "Make no mistake, this vote was really about deepening the gun industry's customer pool, at the expense of those in danger of hurting themselves or others," he said. The moves come after Prime Minister David Cameron released details of his tax affairs. Welsh Conservatives leader Andrew RT Davies has vowed to do the same. Labour's Carwyn Jones said he was comfortable publishing his "boring" tax returns, but UKIP's Nathan Gill said he would not "jump on the bandwagon". Information about David Cameron's 2009-15 tax and earnings was released on Sunday in an attempt to defuse a row about his investment in his late father's offshore fund, details of which emerged in a leak of documents from Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca. The Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn have now also published their tax returns. Scottish party leaders, including the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, also published their tax returns over the weekend. Labour leader Carwyn Jones has published his tax payments for 2014/15 - his party's website says he was charged £41,147 on taxable income of £118,800. He told BBC Wales: "I'm comfortable publishing my tax returns. They are very boring." He added: "It's inevitable now that the public will want to see the tax returns of politicians. I think most of them will be fairly mundane." Leanne Wood became the first Welsh political leader to make her tax details public on Sunday evening. The self-assessment tax calculation shows she paid £9,043 income tax on taxable income of £38,547. "It's a shame I've been almost forced into a position of doing this because of the question of what's been going on with the prime minister and the distrust towards politicians from people," she told BBC Radio 4's Westminster Hour. "It's a shame that politics has come to this but I believe in openness and transparency. "I think if you're in the public eye, especially if you're the leader of a political party - certainly if you're the prime minister - you have an obligation to be honest with people and explain exactly what your financial situation is." Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams published her self-assessment tax calculation on Monday. It shows she paid £15,281 on taxable income of £54,143. Ms Williams said: "What's we've seen is massive disquiet over the last week and a half about the prime minister's tax affairs, and calls for greater transparency. "Well if that's good enough for the prime minister those same rules have to apply to all political leaders." But Nathan Gill of UKIP Wales, who is an MEP, said he was not going to do the same. He said: "My income is on the record in any case. My sole income is from the European Parliament. "But I am not jumping on the bandwagon of the Americanisation of British politics to score a cheap point against the prime minister. "As far as I am concerned I have no desire to see what Carwyn Jones earns." The Welsh Conservatives said leader Andrew RT Davies will publish his tax returns over the next few days. Mr Davies said: "The prime minister has laid out his arrangements more transparently than any previous prime minister and shown how this government is leading the way internationally on cracking down on tax avoidance and evasion." Shiraz Bashir, 42, and Leonie Mason, 24, attacked Craig Preston in a lay-by in Rotherham before discarding his body by the Woodhead Tunnels in August The couple, who were convicted of murder, were sentenced to a minimum of 22 and 19 years respectively. Three teenage boys who joined in the attack were given sentences between three and four years. More stories from Yorkshire The teenagers, two aged 15 and one aged 16, were convicted of manslaughter after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court. During the trial it emerged that Mason had been in a relationship with both 34-year-old Mr Preston, a low level drug dealer, and pizza delivery driver Bashir at the time of the attack. However, the jury heard she and Bashir saw Mr Preston as an "annoyance" and "wanted him out of the way" so hatched a plot to kill him. The couple recruited the three teenagers, one of whom was just 14 at the time, and lured Mr Preston to the lay-by in Town Lane where he was tied up and then kicked, punched and stamped on by all five defendants. He was then forced into the boot of a car before being dumped on moorland in Derbyshire, where he was discovered the following day by dog walkers. His trousers and underpants had been pulled down before he was pushed into the ravine by Mason and Bashir. A photo of his badly beaten body contorted in the boot of the car was later recovered from Bashir's phone. The judge, Mr Justice Males, said Bashir, who he described as the "driving force" in the killing "hated Mr Preston so much that he saw that photo as a kind of trophy". Jailing the five defendants, he said: "Craig Preston did not have much of a life. What little he had revolved around his abuse of class A drugs and his fixation with Leonie Mason. "Nevertheless he was a human being who did not deserve this painful and degrading death." Addressing the boys - two aged 15 and one aged 16 - he said: "The effect of these sentences is that each of you will serve what to you will be a significant period of detention but you will be released on licence before transfer to an adult prison is required. "They also give you the prospect of rehabilitation. Your future is in your own hands. "You have been involved in a terrible event but there is no reason why you should not in time be able to live useful and productive lives." Mason and Bashir, both of Holme Park Court, Huddersfield, were convicted of murder after a trial. The three boys, who who cannot be named because of their ages, were found guilty of manslaughter. An application by the media to have reporting restrictions banning the identification of the teenagers lifted was rejected by the judge. RTÉ reports that up to 25 millimetres (one inch) of rain are forecast to fall in some areas. Civil defence volunteers are to help with the transport of some children to school. Parents have been told some school transport services will not operate. These include along a number of bus routes in parts of Galway, Roscommon, Cavan, Monaghan and Offaly. Civil defence volunteers in Roscommon and Longford are transporting children though the floods by track vehicles and boats. Hundreds of roads are closed or severely restricted because of flooding in the Shannon catchment area. The rainfall alert issued by the Irish national meteorological service, Met Éireann, is in place until 23:00 local time on Wednesday. Registration on the internet and by SMS was temporarily suspended following a "pirate attack", it added. The commission, known as Isie, did not say who was behind the hacking. The elections in October and November will be the second in Tunisia since long-serving ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was ousted in 2011. The country has been hit by turmoil since then, with the moderate Islamist Ennahda party - which won the first poll - battling to assert its authority. Tunisia is heavily polarised between Islamists and secular liberals. Isie had for the first time allowed registration to take place online and by SMS in order to boost registration. However, only a little more than 100,000 people had been added to the electoral list since the month-long registration process opened on 22 June, AFP news agency reports. Journalist Naveena Kottoor told the BBC that the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when most Tunisians fast between dawn and dusk, could be one factor in the sluggish pace of registration. It began on 29 June. The internet has also been extremely slow in recent days, which she says could be an indication that a sophisticated hack attack is underway. The Isie statement said that despite the constant attacks that it was facing and questions about its integrity it will press ahead with organising the election. About four million Tunisians registered to vote in the first election after the popular uprising against Mr Ben Ali's rule. Parliamentary elections are due to take place on 26 October and presidential elections on 23 November. Under Ben Ali, Tunisia was said to have some of the world's toughest internet controls but these have now been dismantled. People have been asked to stay in their homes. Thousands of flights have been cancelled. Emergency services and snow ploughs have been working around the clock to clear snow from the streets. Take a look at Storm Stella in numbers. Even schools have had to close because of the bad weather leaving thousands of kids to enjoy the snow. So what are children in New York doing with their Snow day? Six year old Markie who lives there sent us this... It comes after sitting Conservative MP Mark Reckless defected to UKIP. He will be standing for UKIP in the by-election. Local councillor Kelly Tolhurst will stand for the Tories. Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party and Britain First have also chosen candidates to contest the seat. The Conservatives held an open primary to select their candidate. The full list of candidates, in alphabetical order by surname, is: The official gross domestic product (GDP) figure though was smaller than the 7.1% drop economists expected. The shrinkage was largely in response to a government sales tax, which held back consumer spending. Japan's sales tax rose from 5% to 8% in April. On a quarterly basis, the economy contracted 1.7% in the second quarter after a 1.5% rise in the first three months. Private consumption, which makes up 60% of economic activity, was 5% down on the previous quarter. The economy grew at an annualised rate of 6.1% in the first quarter of this year. Recent retail sales and factory output figures both indicated a negative impact from the sales tax rise. Marcel Thieliant, Japan economist at Capital Economics, said a rebound was expected in the coming months: "The collapse in economic activity last quarter was largely a result of the higher sales tax, and we still believe that the recovery will resume in the second half of the year. "Consumers had brought forward spending ahead of April's increase in the consumption tax." The Japanese government appears confident that its economy, the world's third largest, will pick up the pace later in the year. In a statement issued after the GDP release, Economics Minister Akira Amari said: "Looking at monthly data during April-June, sales of electronics goods and those at department stores are picking up after falling sharply in April. "The job market is also improving steadily. Taking these into account, Japan's economy continues to recover moderately as a trend and the effect of the sales tax hike is subsiding." Lisa Orsi, from Londonderry, had been on life support since she suffered extreme altitude sickness last month. The 22-year-old, who had been working as a physiotherapist in Singapore, was pronounced dead early on Friday following extensive transplant surgery. Her parents Dennis and Sharon were at her bedside at Singapore General Hospital. "Lisa was a bubbly, caring person whose infectious joy for life endeared her to so many people. We take comfort in their prayers and well-wishes at this time," the couple said. "Even in this dark hour we can look to take solace from knowing that even in her death, Lisa's generosity has brought new life to others and given them a second chance." She had been on holiday in Indonesia, and the couple thanked the medical teams that initially treated Lisa and the hospital staff in Singapore. "We brought Lisa back to Singapore as it is a place that is so very dear to her heart," they said in a statement to the Press Association. "She has always spoken of it as a second home and we have been so grateful to receive a homecoming welcome from her Singapore brothers and sisters. "Lisa has been very fortunate to be surrounded by friends both from her working life and her club-mates from the Singapore Gaelic Lions. "Gaelic football has been a childhood passion for Lisa and we are overwhelmed by all that her GAA family have done for her." Tens of thousands of pounds were raised in Derry to help her family with medical costs. The couple said they were grateful for all the support they had received in the They said they were making arrangements for her body to be brought home. "As a family, our next eventual task is to arrange a smooth repatriation," they said. "Therefore, we would ask that you keep Lisa in your thoughts and prayers, while respecting our space and privacy at this time." Dr Vladislav Rogozov, a consultant anaesthetist at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, spoke about the incident in an online blog. He said he had confronted the unnamed surgeon when he realised she intended to keep the scarf on during surgery. Hospital chiefs would not confirm if Dr Rogozov had been suspended. Headscarves worn for religious purposes are permitted in most areas of hospitals but should be removed in areas such as operating theatres in the interest of patient safety and hygiene, according to hospital rules. Dr David Throssell, medical director of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "The member of staff has not been excluded from work for raising patient safety issues as we take these very seriously. "However, since the publication of articles attributed to the member of staff, we have received concerns about the tone he has used. "On this basis the content and nature of the views published are currently being investigated."

The Harry Fry-trained nine-year-old just beat Cheltenham winner Nichols Canyon in a tight finish. Unowhatimeanharry, ridden by Cork jockey Noel Fehily, had won eight races in a row before Cheltenham. He won at 4-1, while runner-up Nichols Canyon was 7-4 favourite and the 9-1 shot Footpad came third. "Cheltenham was not meant to be for us but to bounce back in the manner he has done and really tough it out all the way to win is fantastic," said winning trainer Fry. Nichols Canyon, ridden by Ruby Walsh, looked to be in with a good shout of confirming the Cheltenham form in the finishing straight. Noel Fehily had kicked on some way out on Unowhatimeanharry and stole a few lengths, but Walsh still looked confident on jumping the last a length down. However, while he was edging closer with every stride, the post appeared just in time to give Fry one of the biggest wins of his career. Victorious jockey Fehily said: "I just thought we went very slow. Plans A, B and C went out of the window because the last thing I wanted was to be in front two out. "I had to go forward but luckily he's a tough little horse, he was very long at the last but he came up for me and he's got the heart of a lion." BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght: Another thrilling finish but Nichols Canyon's trainer Willie Mullins could have done with the first-place prize money for the champion trainer's title race. As with Djakadam on day two, inches have cost him dear and, despite some success on the undercard, the gap to Gordon Elliott remains stubbornly wide. Of course, he will have masses of runners during the last two days of Punchestown, so anything is possible, but you can't help feeling it is (mostly) just not happening for Mullins at the moment. The 28-year-old Jamaican failed to file his whereabouts on three separate occasions in 2015. That amounts to a failed drug test under World Anti-Doping Agency rules and his suspension comes into effect from 31 January. Russell won the 2016 World T20 title with the West Indies. He also claimed trophies with Sydney Thunder, Islamabad United, Jamaica Tallawahs and Dhaka Dynamites last year. He announced that US troops would remain in the country without a timetable for withdrawal, with other reports suggesting that 4,000 further troops would be added. This would boost present numbers by around a third, although it would leave the American presence far short of its peak of 100,000 in 2010-11. But Mr Trump's speech also included two important new elements. He launched a blistering attack on Pakistan, publicly articulating what his predecessors only said in private. "We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars at the same time they are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting," declared the president. "It is time for Pakistan to demonstrate its commitment to civilisation, order, and to peace". This was followed by more threats from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the National Security Council spokesman. And if this were not bad enough for Pakistan, Mr Trump then applauded India's "important contributions to stability in Afghanistan", urging New Delhi to play a larger role. Since the beginning of the war, Pakistan has allowed the use of its territory to supply international troops in landlocked Afghanistan, tacitly accepted American drones over its airspace, and co-operated with Western intelligence agencies against some terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. However, Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI, has also given shelter and support to Afghan insurgents from the 1970s to the present, including the especially virulent Haqqani network. Its aim has been to limit India's influence - but is also influenced by its disagreements with Kabul. Ever since partition, Afghan governments of all stripes have rejected the border known as the Durand Line, laying claim to some Pashtun areas inside Pakistan. There are three big questions around Trump's approach to Pakistan. The first is whether his words will translate into action. After all, we've been here before. "We need to make clear to people that the cancer is in Pakistan", President Barack Obama told advisers in 2009, sending his CIA chief and national security adviser to Islamabad to deliver the message. "You can't keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbours", warned then Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in 2011. The same year, America's top military officer publicly declared that the Haqqani network was "a veritable arm" of Pakistani intelligence. However, these warnings did not translate into action. Pakistan continued to receive around $1bn per year in so-called Coalition Support Funds, as well as other hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. The Trump administration has threatened a range of punishments, including sanctions on Pakistani officials. But will they follow through? This is what Pakistani officials will hope to establish in the coming weeks. The second question is how Pakistan will respond. In past crises, Pakistan has blocked Nato supply routes into Afghanistan, such as the Khyber Pass. There are alternative routes via Iran and Russia-dominated Central Asia, but the Trump administration's relations with Tehran and Moscow are even worse. Beyond this, Pakistan could also shoot American drones out of the sky, ramp up its support for the Taliban, or halt intelligence co-operation entirely. Of course, Pakistan would have to consider the consequences, from losing out on IMF bailouts to provoking open US air strikes. The third question is whether Pakistan can be coerced into abandoning a policy that has taken shape over 40 years. Both Mr Trump and Mr Tillerson declared their openness to peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban. Pakistan's concern is that if such talks result in its Taliban allies sharing power in Afghanistan, this would reduce the Taliban's dependence on Pakistan. Taliban leaders who have explored peace talks independently of their Pakistani patrons have ended up arrested or dead. It is possible that Pakistan will decide that it's worth maintaining influence over the Taliban, whatever the cost. Domestically, Pakistan has continued supporting militants despite the death of 20,000 civilians in terrorist attacks over the past 15 years. It's also notable that a meeting of Pakistani military and political leaders on Thursday concluded that the foreign minister should immediately set off on a tour of "friendly states", beginning with China. Pakistan is increasingly confident in the support of Beijing, which is investing tens of billions of dollars in the country as part of the ambitious China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). However, it's not entirely clear how far China is willing to go to bail out Pakistan, financially or politically. Finally, what should we make of Trump's effort to enlist Indian support? Some critics have argued that this is likely to provoke Pakistan into expanding its support for the Taliban. However, we should bear in mind that the US tried to restrict India's role in Afghanistan through the 2000s, with no positive change in Pakistan's behaviour. Instead, Pakistan is believed to have sponsored the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul in 2008. India expanded its security role in Afghanistan from 2011 onwards, when it signed a strategic partnership with Kabul. It expanded its training of Afghan military officers, 4,000 so far, and gave second-hand attack helicopters to the struggling Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). This, too, had no apparent impact on Pakistan's policy. We should be realistic about India's potential role. Delhi does not have the capacity to do too much more. It requires co-operation with its old partners Russia or Iran to send military supplies, but both those countries have expanded their own ties with parts of the Taliban in recent years. We should also note that President Trump emphasised India's role in the specific areas of "economic assistance and development". This assistance, to the tune of $2bn (£1.56bn), has contributed to India's popularity amongst Afghans. Delhi would not want military support to put that soft power at risk. But on balance, as Western countries focus on terrorist threats from the Middle East and North Africa, and grow more weary of the longest war in their modern history, India's support to a weak Afghan state and its army should probably be welcomed. The 28-year-old sustained the injury during Quins' home win over Leinster in the European Champions Cup last Sunday. The flanker is expected to be back in action in early January, with England's Six Nations campaign starting against Wales in Cardiff on Friday, 6 February. Pool Two leaders Harlequins next face Leinster in Dublin on Saturday. Robshaw is also likely to miss the Premiership games against Newcastle, Northampton and London Welsh. The Valongo wharf operated for three centuries and became the biggest entry point for African slaves in Brazil. Its remains were discovered during renovation work for the 2016 Olympics. Brazil was the main destination for African slaves in the Americas. After the long journey across the Atlantic, emaciated African captives were kept in the wharf area to recover and gain weight, so they could be sold on at slave markets. Many did not survive and were buried at a nearby cemetery. Unesco says the Valongo wharf should have the same place in history as Hiroshima and Auschwitz "to make us remember those parts of the history of humanity that must not be forgotten". "It is a unique memorial, containing the last remaining vestiges of the slaves' arrival," anthropologist Milton Guran told AFP news agency. Many Brazilians were unaware of the area's importance until a few years ago. Remains of the wharf were discovered by chance in 2011, when a couple doing refurbishment in their house come across a mass grave, with bones and skulls. The wharf and the complex surrounding it were constructed in 1779 as part of an effort to move what was regarded as an unsightly trade to an area far from the city centre, says the BBC's Julia Carneiro. A few blocks from the wharf is a cemetery where, between 1770 and 1830, thousands of slaves were buried. Slave trade in Brazil was banned in 1831, after Brazil declared its independence from Portugal. But it continued illegally until slavery was abolished in 1888. Some four million slaves arrived to work in plantations and domestic workers from the 17th to the end of the 19th century. That amounts to 40% of slaves taken to the Americas. After Brazil was declared a republic in 1889, the Valongo site was used as a landfill and eventually a square was built over the wharf. Until recently, it was buried underneath a square, a street and a car park. The call has been made by the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (Godan) initiative, which includes the UK and US governments. The group hopes a million people will sign its online petition calling on organisations to open their data. They plan to present the petition during a meeting at the UN in New York. The Godan initiative has more than 330 partners around the globe, including the UK, US and Kenyan governments. It was established in 2013 to encourage and promote open-data policies regarding agriculture and nutrition information held by governments, business and NGOs. On Thursday, it will host a two-day summit, which it describes as the "largest event of its kind", with the goal of bringing together politicians, government officials, researchers and business leaders to raise awareness of their call for all agriculture and nutrition to be universally "available, accessible and useable". On Friday, Godan plans to convene a high-level forum, which organisers hope will see the UN endorse its call for action and adopt Godan's petition. Godan spokeswoman Natasha Mudhar said: "Open data is to innovation in agriculture and nutrition, and hence promoting food security, by improving farming methods, enhancing food production and providing better information and advice." Jaime Adams, senior adviser to the US Department of Agriculture's chief scientist, is responsible for managing the US Government's involvement in the global open data initiative. She told BBC News: "We currently have seven billion people on the planet, and that is forecast to reach nine billion people by 2050. Today, 800 million people struggle with hunger and malnutrition. Yet, at the same time, experts tell us that we produce more than enough food in the world to feed the current population. "For me personally, it is really heartbreaking to think that people around the world go to bed hungry every night when we have enough food in the world to feed everyone." Ms Adams said that while there were a vast array of projects looking to deliver solutions at a micro level, decisions were having to be made with incomplete information. "We are fragmented and we do not have a global, comprehensive picture," she observed. "We don't know what is produced and where, what happens to it after it has been harvested, what food products come from those harvests etc. We do not have a complete and comprehensive picture as we do in other industries." She contrasted the current situation regarding data concerning food security with the global availability of meteorological data. "In recent years, on your smartphone, you can have an application that allows you to look at the weather forecast in any part of the world," Ms Adams said. "With a degree of accuracy, you can know what the weather is going to be like before you travel and can plan accordingly. "We don't have something like that for agriculture and nutrition. For example, if I was travelling to Africa, and was going a couple of hours outside of a major city, I do not know if I am going to have access to food, or fresh fruit and vegetables." She said that many governments around the world considered its data on agricultural production, consumption or storage as sensitive data and was reluctant to share the information. Ms Adams added: "In the private sector, there is proprietary data but eventually, when that data no longer has value, there is a lot of data that supports research projects but it would take the initiative of the private company in order to invest resources in order to make that data open." She hoped the Godan summit and the high-level forum at the United Nations would help raise the issue and encourage heads of governments to adopt open-data policies. But Ms Adams explained: "There are a lot of countries around the world that still have a long way to go." Follow Mark on Twitter. Author Alan Stafford had nominated his own book for the award run by The Bookseller magazine. It beat Reading from Behind: A Cultural History of the Anus, with 24.8% of the public vote compared to 24.3%. Stafford does not win a cash prize, but instead receives "a passable bottle of claret". His book is a biography of musical hall act Wilson, Keppel and Betty - said to be "the inspiration for the Chuckle Brothers" - while Reading from Behind is an academic text. Other works on the seven-strong shortlist for the prize, now in its 38th year, included Transvestite Vampire Biker Nuns from Outer Space and Soviet Bus Stops. Stafford said: "I'm hugely grateful to everyone who took the trouble to vote for me. A good title not only tells the public what the book's about, sometimes it tells the author too. "Too Naked For The Nazis pinpoints the central event of my book - when a trio of comedy Egyptian sand dancers incurred the wrath of the Nazi high command by a blatant exposure of hairy legs. "It was when the title started provoking more comment than the book that I began to appreciate its worth." Horace Bent, administrator of the prize, said it had been "the closest Diagram Prize race of all time". He said: "Too Naked For The Nazis is arguably the perfect Diagram winner, as if concocted by a team of crack Diagramologists - our voters penchant for nudity goes back to the very first winner, 1978's Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice, while the Third Reich has been represented by titles such as How Green were the Nazis (2007). Mr Stafford has brought these two strands together in one irresistible package." The Booksellers' Tom Tivnan added: "What is interesting is the trend for authors in the last couple of years to nominate their own books and then going out and actively campaigning for the prize; Mr Stafford's Twitter electioneering for his book bordered on an Ahabian monomania. "And why not? I think writers have recognised that winning the Diagram could mean a boost in sale of tens, maybe even as much as a hundred copies. High stakes indeed. More likely, they are probably after the free bottle of plonk we give to the nominator." Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, 24, was attacked on Sunday outside Topper's Pizza in downtown Menomonie, Wisconsin, near his university. Local media reported police found Mr Alnahdi unconscious and bloodied. He died on Monday. The motive of the crime is unclear and police have asked for any information about a possible assailant. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported the suspect was a white male, about 6ft. According to a statement on Facebook by the university, Mr Alnahdi, was in his third year of studies pursuing business administration. University chancellor Bob Meyer said: "Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to Hussain's family in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia, and his friends at UW-Stout." The Minnesota Council on American Islamic relations said in a tweet they were "monitoring" the death of Mr Alnahdi. Essex Police said the pair, both aged 13, had walked from The Stow in Harlow and got into difficulty after going through marshland off Eastwick Road, Gilston, at 15:45 BST on Monday. They called police and were found by the force helicopter before members of the public tried to pull them out. Officers eventually used a broom handle and shovel to dig the girls out. Follow updates on stories happening across Essex "The girls had stepped off the main canal path and down a grass bank onto what they thought was a bridleway," said Pc Tom Lennon, one of those who was called to help. "Unfortunately they stepped into a peaty bog and one of the girls tripped, causing her to fall into the mud up to her waist. "It was fortunate they had a mobile phone to dial 999 as they were not sure of their location and were found in a secluded spot." Police warned walkers of the importance of staying on established footpaths when exploring marshy or coastal areas. The campaign aims to warn young people about the dangers of hacking and using online tools for cyber-attacks. The CyberChoices campaign comes after NCA research revealed the average age of people involved in its investigations was 17. The research indicated few teenagers knew what constituted a cybercrime or what would happen if they were caught. "Over the past few years, the NCA has seen the people engaging in cybercrime becoming younger and younger," said Richard Jones, head of the Prevent team at the NCA's Cyber Crime Unit, in a statement. For example, he said, an NCA operation against users of an online attack tool known as Lizard Stresser resulted in seven people being arrested - all of whom were under 18 years old. The CyberChoices campaign builds on work the NCA did after Operation Dermic in 2014 against users of the Blackshades remote-access Trojan (Rat). A total of 17 arrests were made as part of that operation. Follow-up activity involved 80 "cease and desist" visits to known purchasers of Blackshades - 500 emails and letters were also sent to people known to have bought the cybercrime kit. Many of the people contacted were teenagers, still living at home. The youngest Blackshades buyer was 12 years old. "We know that simply criminalising young people cannot be the solution to this, and so the campaign seeks to help motivate children to use their skills more positively," Mr Jones said. The NCA has produced a range of materials that spell out UK laws governing computer misuse. They also deal with the most common types of cybercrime teenagers tend to be involved with. Many young people had been using attack tools that knocked computers offline, said Mr Jones, while others had turned to remote-access programs that let them spy on people and steal data. Mr Jones said teenagers often indulged in these types of attack to impress or "prank" their friends. However, he added, the abuse of these tools could often escalate and involve those using them committing "higher level" crimes without them being fully aware of what they were doing. "We want these young people, and their parents, to understand that choosing that path can result in a criminal record, can limit their choices for their future, and can put restrictions on their daily lives including the loss of access to the internet," said Mr Jones. The materials include guides for parents and lesson plans for teachers as well as video testimonies by young former hackers about what they did and the consequences they have suffered. "We have aimed the campaign initially at parents, because we know from research that they often are unaware of what their children are doing online," he said. European policing organisation Europol said it too had seen a rise in criminality among teenagers and younger computer users. Europol regularly runs campaigns to educate these groups about how low-level cybercrimes can escalate. "A lot of people can grow accustomed to using crime kits very easily," said Jaap van Oss, a team leader in Europol's Cyber Crime Centre. "We make them aware that using a Rat is not just for fun. It's a crime." "We have larger programmes throughout the EU where we specifically target those younger users of those tools," said Mr Van Oss. "It's not that we will convict them to serious sentences immediately, but we will take them up, knock and talk, and show them that they are breaking the law." Targeting these younger people was the "right thing to do", said Gabriella Coleman, an anthropologist at McGill University in Canada who studies online life and has written extensively about the Anonymous hacking collective. "There are probably hordes of young hackers who are attracted to forums simply to learn to explore a secret world and who never act upon the knowledge or tools they get from these forums," she said. "It is good that law enforcement has an awareness and an ability to differentiate between those who are dabbling and testing and those who are truly using these tools for criminal operations," she added. The CyberChoices materials will be made available via the NCA's website as well as its Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages.

Fe wnaeth cost y tollau godi i £6.70 ddydd Calan, ond fe fyddan nhw'n gostwng y flwyddyn nesaf ac mae nifer o wleidyddion wedi galw am gael eu gwared yn gyfan gwbl. "Mae prisiau tai ym Mryste yn wallgof o uchel, felly mae pobl yn gwybod bod y tollau yn gostwng y flwyddyn nesaf ac yn gobeithio cael bargen [yng Nghymru]," meddai'r asiant Charles Haven. Dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf mae prisiau tai yn ardaloedd Cas-gwent, Cil-y-coed a Magwyr, sydd o fewn cyrraedd i Fryste, wedi cynyddu 10%. Ond mae prisiau ar ochr Lloegr yr Afon Hafren wedi cynyddu 37%, ac mae hynny'n golygu bod de ddwyrain Cymru'n cael ei weld fel ardal gymharol ratach. "Mae galw mawr am dai. Does dim digon, a dweud y gwir," meddai Mr Heaven, perchennog Crown Estate Agents yng Nghas-gwent. "Mae tai yn cael eu prynu o fewn dyddiau, weithiau oriau, ac mae'r prisiau'n hedfan i fyny. "Gyda thrydaneiddio prif linell rheilffordd de Cymru, y Metro a'r ffordd liniaru M4 arfaethedig, a'r cefn gwlad prydferth yn ne Sir Fynwy a Dyffryn Gwy, mae'n le dymunol i fyw." Mae Nathan Reekes, perchennog Nathan James Estate Agents yng Nghil-y-coed a Magwyr, yn dweud ei fod yntau wedi sylwi ar batrwm tebyg. Daeth ar draws un cwpl a lwyddodd i brynu tŷ pedair ystafell wely gyda garej yn Sir Fynwy am £295,000, a hynny ar ôl gwerthu tŷ llai ei faint ym Mryste am £390,000. "Dyna'r math o fusnes 'dyn ni wedi bod yn ei wneud yn y chwe mis diwethaf achos ers i'r llywodraeth gyhoeddi y byddan nhw'n gostwng tollau ar y bont, mae 80% o fy mhrynwyr wedi dod o'r ochr arall i Bont Hafren," meddai. "Mae'n hawdd cyrraedd Bryste, canolbarth Lloegr, y de orllewin, de Cymru, Llundain a Maes Awyr Heathrow, ond mae gan dde Sir Fynwy hefyd y fantais o fod yn lled-wledig gyda golygfeydd gwych." Joshua Kemp, of Basingstoke, had not been seen since leaving Cranbourne School on Monday afternoon. Hampshire Constabulary said Joshua's family had grown increasingly concerned as it got later. Officers confirmed on Tuesday morning the boy had been found safe and well. Liam Fox approved the £3bn first design stage for replacement submarines, saying Trident was the "ultimate guarantee of national security". The coalition has delayed the final decision until after the next election amid Lib Dem concerns over its cost. But the issue continues to be a source of disagreement within government. At the same time progress on Trident renewal was confirmed, Dr Fox also said the Ministry of Defence would commission a study into alternative deterrent options to see whether they were "feasible and credible" - to be overseen by Lib Dem Armed Forces minister Nick Harvey. BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said the 18-month review could further inflame tensions between the coalition partners, as its remit went further than the commitment to review the cost of the project included in their governing agreement a year ago. The coalition indicated last year that it would delay the "main gate" decision on replacing the UK's four Vanguard submarines until 2016 - a year after the expected date of the next election. The move was widely seen as an effort to ease tensions with the Lib Dems, who have been sceptical about Trident renewal and argued for other options to be looked at. While Tuesday's decision has not changed the timetable, Dr Fox said giving the green light to the "initial gate" phase would enable the first submarine to be delivered in 2028, at no additional cost, if ministers ultimately decided to proceed in five years time. In the first phase, the specialised steel to build the submarines and propulsions systems will be ordered. This procurement will cost about £3bn, out of a total estimated cost for replacing Trident of up to £20bn. Dr Fox said that although the UK was committed to securing multilateral nuclear disarmament, the possibility that the UK could face a "direct nuclear threat" in the future could not be ruled out. "I am absolutely clear that a minimum nuclear deterrent based on the Trident missile delivery system and continuous at sea deterrent is right the UK and it should be maintained," he added. However, the defence secretary said he was "not afraid to look at alternatives" and the Lib Dems should be able "to make the case" for them. He also insisted he was committed to providing "value for money" for the taxpayer and £3bn in savings had already been found in the renewal process. Tory MPs have been pressing for a decision on the initial gate phase, saying that it would send a clear signal of the UK's determination to maintain an independent nuclear deterrent. Q&A: Trident replacement Former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell pressed Dr Fox to publish the conclusions of the MoD report on potential alternatives. "May we also take it that if the study produces credible alternatives, in relation to procurement and policy, he will take proper account of these alternatives?" he asked. Lib Dem sources later said the report would be used to "inform arguments" against Trident. For Labour, shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy backed the decision, saying Trident had been a "cornerstone" of the UK's peace and security for nearly 50 years. "As long as there are other countries with such capability it is right the UK retains an independent nuclear deterrent," he told MPs. Asked about the issue at Prime Minister's questions by pro-nuclear Tory MP Julian Lewis, David Cameron said he backed renewal of Trident as it was the "ultimate insurance policy against blackmail or attacks by other countries". Insisting that the government's policy was "absolutely clear", he said it was "committed to retaining an independent nuclear deterrent based on Trident". Dr Lewis, a frequent critic of the Lib Dems on Trident, urged Mr Cameron to build a cross-party "alliance" of Conservative and Labour MPs to make the case for nuclear deterrent renewal similar to that seen during the recent AV referendum - on which the Conservatives and Lib Dems were on different sides. Mr Cameron said he hoped to "elevate" the issue beyond party political debate and get the support of the opposition for the move, pointing out that the last Labour government had agreed to Trident renewal in 2007. "When we voted to go ahead with Trident, it was on the basis of a Labour motion that was supported by most Labour MPs and, I believe, all Conservative MPs," he said. However, Labour MP Paul Flynn said Trident was a "national virility symbol" and had not been used in any conflict for many years and was unlikely to be in future. And SNP defence spokesman Angus Robertson said the opinion of people in Scotland - where the Vanguard submarines are currently based at Faslane - was being "totally ignored". "Majority opinion in Scotland is opposed to Trident, yet the UK government is planning on spending billions of pounds of Scottish taxpayers' money on it," he said. "Scotland's churches, the Scottish Trade Union Congress and Scottish civic society is also opposed to Trident but the MoD wants to base these weapons of mass destruction in Scotland while cutting conventional defence." Lord Mountbatten was killed in an IRA bomb attack on his boat at Mullaghmore, County Sligo, on 27 August 1979. The prince is to meet members of the community in Mullaghmore during his visit to Ireland from 19-22 May. It is one of a number of engagements north and south of the Irish border on the theme of peace and reconciliation. The prince's Irish visit was first announced last month, but his office has now released details of his itinerary. He follows in the footsteps of the Queen, who made a highly successful state visit to Dublin and Cork in 2011, which was widely viewed as a significant moment in the peace process. The Prince of Wales will be accompanied by his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall for what will be their first official joint visit to the Republic of Ireland. They will attend a service of peace and reconciliation at St Columba's Church, in Drumcliffe, County Sligo, and when they travel north of the border on the second half of their trip, they will visit Northern Ireland's oldest peace and reconciliation centre at Corrymeela, County Antrim. The Royal couple's itinerary also includes visits to a number of cultural and historical sites, including the County Sligo grave of Irish Nobel Prize-winning poet, William Butler Yeats, and the Burren in County Clare. In Galway, they are due to attend a reception at the National University of Ireland, where a celebration of Irish culture, including crafts, dancing and music, will be staged. Prince Charles first visited the Republic of Ireland in 1995. His great-uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten, had been a frequent visitor, spending holidays at the Sligo coast before his murder during the Troubles. One of the earl's twin grandsons, Nicholas, 14, and a 15-year-old local boy who worked on the boat, Paul Maxwell, also died in the explosion. The murders took place on the same day that the IRA killed 18 soldiers in Northern Ireland, when their convoy was hit by two booby-trap bomb explosions near Warrenpoint. The death toll was the worst single loss suffered by the Army throughout the Troubles. Bardet received passionate support on Sunday when the 15th stage passed through his local Auvergne region. However, British race leader Froome suffered some jeers and insults. "I heard that Froome was abused at times," said Bardet. "I'm really sorry, he's a champion who should be respected, who I respect as a rival and who doesn't deserve that treatment." AG2R La Mondiale's Bardet was runner-up to Tour de France winner Froome last year and is currently 23 seconds behind the Team Sky rider in this year's event. Froome claimed he had urine thrown at him during the 2015 race and played down the most recent incidents. Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide. "It's to be expected if this is Romain Bardet's home stage. It's understandable that all the locals around here are supporting him - that's bike racing," he said. "The support on the roads has been fantastic so far and I want to thank everybody - it's been a great atmosphere." After Monday's final rest day, there will be six further stages before the race finishes in Paris on Sunday. A lot of the supporters from both sides will be friends or family, or will belong to the same business or organisation, and it is all about bragging rights. You can imagine the banter that goes backwards and forwards. When you are the away side in a local derby, you know you are in the enemy camp - because, in the sporting sense, you are the enemy. There is respect, of course, but if you are not used to it, it can be fairly uncomfortable. You look at the Northampton pack and it is humongous. And the quality that it has is difficult to match for any side - that is why they are the best team in the Premiership and are the current champions. What director of rugby Jim Mallinder can call upon is huge. Where Leicester have really made their name in the past is with an uncompromising, forceful, powerful pack - but when you think of Samu Manoa, Tom Wood, Courtney Lawes and Dylan Hartley, plus a backline that includes Luther Burrell, Stephen Myler, the Pisi brothers, George North and Ben Foden, you realise Northampton have a really a premium, platinum setup. But Leicester are still a great club with a great history, great track record and great tradition - they have their way of preparing a squad and a DNA that runs throughout. That is the Tigers way and all players buy into it. They have had a few players come back, like Tom Youngs, Geoff Parling and Dan Cole, and the quality of Tigers is legendary. Despite their soft start to the season, nobody thought they would not get into the top six and would not realistically challenge for the play-offs. For example, when you have the experience of someone like Brad Thorn, a World Cup winner who has played for the best side in the world and won everything in the game, it shows the kind of recruitment they are capable of. The Leicester side, while it does not have the X-factor players that Saints have, is one that is well-drilled and one that gets the best out of what they have. I think Tigers will actually quite like the tag of underdogs coming into the game. And, given that Saints are Premiership champions and possess the kind of quality they do, it would be unrealistic to think of Leicester as anything other than underdogs. But the advantage is with Northampton. They are going well and just have that extra sprinkle of stardust at the moment, so I expect them to win. Growing up in Bath and going on to play for my hometown club, I used to love the games against Gloucester. Whichever ground I used to run out at away from home, I would always come out of the tunnel and head straight for the opposite side of the stadium. At Kingsholm that happens to be 'The Shed' - and you were always greeted by some not particularly pleasant banter from the locals, although nothing unexpected. I have always relished these local derbies and to me they were like internationals. The atmosphere was buzzing and you could not help but be high from it. I fed off the rivalry. I look at the Bath side at the moment and they have a powerful set of forwards and a skilful, speedy, try-scoring backline, and when you have that at your disposal you have to think you are going to win games. For everyone looking in from the outside, Bath are second in the table and Gloucester are eighth, so Bath are expected to win. And, in their position, if they do not there has to be a darn good reason why. I expected Sam Burgess to start on the bench and if he comes on Bath must be doing well because, first and foremost, they have to pick their best team and as we speak now he would not be first choice. He is learning and that is going to be a process. We do not know how long that is going to take and neither does he. He has to find his timing and to understand the breakdown. Defence should not be too difficult, because I believe if someone runs to your right, to your left or straight at you then you just adjust accordingly. But with the skill set he possesses I would suggest he will do very well - we just have to wait. Gloucester are a dangerous side, especially when you look at their backline and they have players like Greig Laidlaw, James Hook, Billy Twelvetrees and Charlie Sharples. The lift for them will be playing at home against Bath. There will be so much adrenaline flowing through that team and it is amazing what that can do to you. The fear of losing at home against one of your biggest rivals does not bear thinking about. But it is also about getting past those emotions so you are able to play at your best and succeed. You have to back Bath to win this game. Their form away from home may not have been spectacular, but I would still expect them to win. Jeremy Guscott was speaking to BBC Sport's Brendon Mitchell. The BBC presenter described the piece by Kevin Myers as "so obviously racist it's surprisingly hurtful". She also questioned how no-one at the paper appeared to spot the article. Editor Martin Ivens said the piece, which was in the Irish edition and online, should not have been published. Speaking on BBC Radio London where she presents the breakfast show, Feltz said: "I would have thought after all these years I'd be immune or used to it, but that's not at all how I felt. I felt extremely upset. "The apologies are all very well but how did it end up in the paper in the first place?" she added. Feltz revealed Ivens had personally rung her to apologise and had told the presenter he was "horrified". She said she told the editor that she could not understand how the article had been allowed to be published when it has to go through "layers of command". The column, titled "Sorry, ladies - equal pay has to be earned", follows criticism of the BBC, after it was revealed two-thirds of its stars earning more than £150,000 are male. Commenting that two of the best-paid female presenters, Winkleman and Feltz, were Jewish, Myers wrote: "Good for them. "Jews are not generally noted for their insistence on selling their talent for the lowest possible price, which is the most useful measure there is of inveterate, lost-with-all-hands stupidity." Times readers - who must pay a subscription to access online content - commented on the original article to express their disgust. "The proud anti-Semitism in this column is nothing short of disgraceful. Myers must go and so must the editor who approved this piece," Alan Simpson wrote. By Amol Rajan, BBC media editor The obvious question readers of Kevin Myers's bizarre column will ask is: "How on earth was it published?" The truth is in newspapers where sub-editing resources have been cut and cut in recent years idiocy will sometimes slip through. I used to be comment editor at a national title. The usual process is: you talk to the writer, distil the idea, discuss it with your editor, tell the writer to go ahead, and then when the copy comes in, you check for howlers, sharpen it up, and stick a headline on. That should then be read by the paper's editor. It's no excuse, of course, but the fact it is July - when staffing levels are low despite the evidence that historically it's an exceptionally busy month - means such mistakes are more likely to slip through. And the fact that it was in the Irish edition of the Sunday Times will help deflect responsibility from Martin Ivens, editor of the main edition, who was forced to apologise after a cartoon by Gerald Scarfe early in his tenure led to complaints of anti-Semitism. It is notable that Frank Fitzgibbon, the editor of the Irish edition, said in his statement that he "takes full responsibility for this error of judgement". Vanessa Feltz is right to be appalled. Myers's column was not only misogynistic and anti-Semitic, but intellectually incoherent too. The article was taken down following anger on social media and a formal complaint from the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism to press regulator Ipso. Ivens offered the paper's "sincere apology, both for the remarks and the error of judgement that led to publication". Frank Fitzgibbon, editor of the Sunday Times Ireland, said he took "full responsibility", adding: "This newspaper abhors anti-Semitism and did not intend to cause offence to Jewish people." A News UK spokesman said the column included "unacceptable comments both to Jewish people and to women in the workplace". In the article, Myers also argued that male presenters might earn more because they "work harder, get sick less frequently and seldom get pregnant". The Sunday Times has said the columnist "will not write again" for the newspaper. Former BBC presenter Sue MacGregor has said there will never be equal pay between genders at the BBC "until men have babies". In an interview on the Today programme, which she hosted from 1984 until 2002, she said "women always end up doing most of the work" with children. The BBC's annual report showed that the show's male presenters John Humphrys and Nick Robinson were paid more than £600,000 and £250,000 respectively. Its top-earning female presenter Mishal Husain was paid more than £200,000, however colleague Sarah Montague did not appear on the list of highly paid staff. Speaking about how the Today programme has changed, MacGregor said: "My view is that there will never be totally equal pay for women until men have babies. "They will never have equal pay because there will be times when they have to leave. "There are extraordinary people who come back to work after two weeks or four weeks, but mostly and rightly, their attention is taken by this new little thing in their lives." The man entered a room on the seventh floor of the Cumberland Hotel in Marble Arch where three women and three children were sleeping, police said. It is believed that when one of the women woke up, they were hit about the face and head with a hammer. The Met said the condition of one woman was "critical" and the attack was being treated as attempted murder. Scotland Yard said the suspect struck shortly before 02:00 BST on Sunday and a hammer was recovered from the scene. Det Ch Insp Andy Chalmers said: "This was an unusually violent attack on three women and I am very keen to speak with anyone who was in or around the hotel between 01:00 and 02:00 on Sunday morning." It is understood that the women, who are all from the United Arab Emirates and in their 30s, had deliberately left their door unlocked because they were staying in the hotel as part of a large family group. It is thought the family, who had come to London for shopping and sightseeing, had visited large West End stores on Saturday. Police said no keys had been stolen and they were carrying out "a detailed forensic examination both of the room as well as the surrounding area" and examining CCTV. A spokesman for Guoman Hotels, which runs the 1,000-room Cumberland, said: "All of our thoughts are with the families of the injured women. "We are doing everything we can to support the police with their enquiry, but it is too early to comment any further." He has been wanted by US police since 1977, when he fled the country after being charged with having sex with a 13-year-old girl. US authorities contacted Polish officials as Polanski attended the opening of a Jewish museum in Warsaw. The director of The Pianist and Chinatown was questioned in Krakow. "Roman Polanski said he would comply with all requests made by prosecutors in this case and provided his address," Police justice ministry spokesman Mateusz Martyniuk told AFP. "Prosecutors therefore decided not to arrest him in connection with a possible US extradition request." The Polish government confirmed that the US had contacted authorities asking them to arrest Polanski after he travelled to Warsaw for the opening of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews. Mr Martyniuk said Polanski's extradition was still possible, but as the US had not yet forwarded an extradition request, Polanski "is a free citizen and is free to travel". The Rosemary's Baby director was held in Switzerland in 2009 after travelling to Zurich to pick up a prize at a film festival. However, the extradition bid failed and he was eventually allowed to return to France. He has been to Poland several times in recent years and was pictured on television at the opening of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews. In 2010, the Polish prosecutor general said Polanski could not be extradited because under Polish law too much time had passed since the offences. Polanski was originally charged with six offences including rape and sodomy in 1977. He pleaded guilty to unlawful sex following a plea bargain and served 42 days in a US prison undergoing psychiatric tests. But, believing the judge was going to renege on the deal and extend his sentence, he chose to jump bail in 1978, fleeing the US to Britain, and then to France. Last year his victim, Samantha Geimer, now 51, published her account of what happened in a book called The Girl: A Life Lived in the Shadow of Roman Polanski. Polanski is currently directing a stage show in Paris based on his 1967 film The Fearless Vampire Killers, but has said he wants to shoot a film on location in Poland on the condition he will not face extradition. The Belgian-registered vessel is known to have four people on board, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said. The Dover and Dungeness lifeboats and helicopter were searching for the boat about 10 miles off the Kent coast. A French search and rescue helicopter joined the mission, in conditions described as "very challenging". The owner of the boat said he had not had contact with the crew "since lunchtime". A coastguard spokesman said: "The coastguard has notified other vessels in the surrounding area to remain vigilant and contact them if they locate anything. "The weather conditions on scene are very challenging, with rough seas and gale force winds." The Dutch coastguard said the Belgian fishing boat had a Dutch skipper. The three crew members are Dutch, Portuguese and Belgian, a spokesman said. Several fishing boats are also searching and more vessels are on their way from the French port of Boulogne, the Dutch coastguard said. Tim Ash from the RNLI said the Dungeness lifeboat was launched just after 17:00 GMT and the Dover lifeboat joined the search about two hours later. He said the two lifeboats were searching about eight miles apart in the English Channel. England manager Roy Hodgson instantly restored Rooney after a two-match suspension in place of Andy Carroll with orders to make a belated mark on the campaign after sitting out the draw against France and victory against Sweden. And after missing a simple header in the first half, the Manchester United striker ensured England topped Group D to set up a quarter-final meeting with Italy in Kiev on Sunday. England could have met world and European champions Spain but that eventuality was avoided by Sweden's 2-0 win against France, and Rooney's first goal in a major tournament since scoring twice in the 4-2 victory over Croatia in Lisbon at Euro 2004. "We hope Wayne Rooney will get fitter. Steven Gerrard is a massive plus and if he can keep this form then England have a chance. We're not playing great football, we're just getting results." Ukraine, however, will complain long and hard about a contentious second-half incident when Marko Devic's shot clearly crossed the line before it was scrambled away by John Terry, only for the officials to remain unmoved. The incident immediately revived the debate about goal-line technology, with a final decision on whether it is introduced expected to be taken in Zurich on 5 July. England will regard it as a measure of justice for Frank Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany in Bloemfontein at the 2010 World Cup - but it was also an illustration of how they rode their luck for long periods in front of a predictably partisan home crowd. But once again Hodgson's men found a way to get the result they required and there is a real air of respectability about their campaign even though they had to survive a first-half siege from a Ukraine side desperate for the win they needed to progress. Oleg Blokhin's side lost the talismanic Andriy Shevchenko to the substitutes' bench because of a knee injury but still showed enough to put England through real turmoil in spells. A lack of match sharpness was perhaps to blame for Rooney squandering England's best chance after 27 minutes. It appeared he only had to make clean contact with Manchester United team-mate Ashley Young's cross to score but his far-post header lacked conviction and went tamely wide of keeper Andriy Pyatov's goal. Either side of Rooney's fluffed chance, it was a tale of Ukrainian domination as they attacked England down both flanks and showed the greater fluidity of the teams. Scott Parker was desperately urging England's players to keep possession - but it was easier said than done amid waves of Ukraine attacks and it needed a penalty area block from the Tottenham midfield man to thwart Devic. England keeper Joe Hart had to save smartly from the dangerous Andriy Yarmolenko, who also raised the hopes of the Donetsk crowd as he evaded several challenges in the area before running out of space. However, Rooney made no mistake with his second headed opportunity, Steven Gerrard's delivery from the right once again the creative source. The cross took two deflections and slipped from the grasp of Pyatov for a simple far-post header from the Manchester United striker. The crowd was momentarily silenced but Ukraine refused to lose heart - and they were robbed of an equaliser when once again an effort that had crossed the line was not spotted by officials. Artem Milevskiy should have done better than send a header wide but the real controversy came when Hart partially stopped Devic's effort and Terry desperately scrambled back to hook the ball off the line. The Ukrainians immediately demanded a goal and their claims were vindicated as replays showed the ball crossed the line before Terry's intervention. There was still time amid the drama for Ashley Cole to almost mark his 97th cap with a goal but the erratic Pyatov made a fine recovery save after another inelegant attempt to deal with a cross. With 20 minutes left it was time for the entrance of Ukraine's great sporting icon Shevchenko. He received a thunderous ovation as his country looked to him to rescue their Euro 2012 campaign but it was a task beyond even the veteran striker, who was soon booked for a rash challenge. Before the game manager Hodgson had said England could dream a little - ahead of the confrontation with Italy in Kiev, they can now afford to dream a little more.

Earlier on Saturday, Zambia lost 1-0 to Costa Rica in their final Group C game. The Junior Chipolpolo, who had already booked their place in the next round, were beaten by a 15th minute goal from Jostin Daly. The result in Cheonan ensured that Costa Rica would join Zambia and Portugal in the last 16. Portugal were 2-1 winners over Iran in Incheon in the other Group C match, leaving Zambia as group winners. Click here for U-20 World Cup results from the Fifa website The acting speaker of Brazil's lower house, Waldir Maranhao, has annulled a vote in the lower house that allowed the proceedings to go on to the Senate. But the president of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, later said the vote there would happen anyway. The Senate is scheduled to vote on Wednesday on whether to start an impeachment trial. The president of the Senate impeachment commission (in Portuguese) also said the vote would take place as scheduled. In his decision, Mr Maranhao said there had been irregularities during the lower house session in which its members overwhelmingly voted in favour of the impeachment process going ahead. He said members of the lower house should not have publicly announced what their position was prior to the vote, and that it had been wrong of party leaders to instruct their members how to vote. Mr Maranhao called for a new vote in the lower house. But Mr Calheiros said in a special session that he would ignore Mr Maranhao's order, and go ahead with the Senate vote. He accused Mr Maranhao of "toying with democracy". When I sat down for an extended interview with Dilma Rousseff in Brasilia last week, she was fully prepared for and anticipating her likely suspension as president. She assumed, like just about everyone else in Brazil, that the country's Senate would vote in favour of a full impeachment trial. Indeed, Ms Rousseff told me she would fight to clear her name after her expected suspension from office later this week over charges that she illegally hid the scale of the budget deficit. The decision by the interim speaker of the lower house to annul the impeachment process took everyone - including the president - by surprise. But if it is a stay of execution for Ms Rousseff it may only be temporary. The case has already left Waldir Maranhao's jurisdiction and is before the Senate where senior figures have already vowed to ignore the ruling from Mr Maranhao. Whatever the outcome - and don't bet against the impeachment process getting "back on track" - this fiasco does the image of Brazil and its discredited political system no good. An increasing majority of Brazilians are not just dissatisfied with the country's situation in general but, in particular, with the behaviour of politicians in Brasilia. The place is, rightly or wrongly, perceived to be riddled with corruption where politicians serve only in their self interest while the rest of the country struggles with a worsening economy, an ever more violent society and with the country's image being ridiculed overseas. Mr Maranhao, who opposed the impeachment process in the 17 April vote, only took over as the speaker of the lower house last week, after the previous speaker, Eduardo Cunha, was suspended. Mr Cunha, an outspoken critic of President Rousseff, led the impeachment drive against her. Reacting to the news, Ms Rousseff urged "caution", adding that there was a "hard fight ahead". Ms Rousseff has said the efforts to impeach her amount to "a coup attempt". She has accused Mr Cunha and Vice-President Michel Temer of being the "ringleaders of the coup". Mr Temer would step in as interim president if Ms Rousseff were to be suspended from office. In a BBC interview last week, Ms Rousseff said she was an "innocent victim" and that she would fight on. She is accused of manipulating the government budget ahead of her re-election in 2014. The president has defended her fiscal measures as common practice in Brazil. If the trial goes ahead, she will be suspended from office immediately. Following Mr Maranhao's decision, Brazil's currency, the real, lost more than 4% against the dollar, while the country's stock exchange slipped more than 3%. Investors have criticised Ms Rousseff and her Workers' Party for what they say are interventionist policies and see Mr Temer as being more market-friendly. Brazil is in its worst recession in 25 years, with inflation at a 12-year-high in 2015. The president's approval ratings have plummeted recently, and recent polls suggest most Brazilians support her removal from office.

It said the result of last month's referendum, in which the UK voted to leave the European Union, will lead to a slowdown in the UK economy. The firm has also forecast a gradual recovery later in 2017 as immediate post-referendum shock starts to fade. PwC's Esmond Birnie said the main reason for the slowdown is projected to be a decline in business investment. Mr Birnie, who is the firm's chief economist in Northern Ireland, said investment from overseas would be particularly affected. He added that it is not certain that a recession will be avoided. PwC said that UK growth had already eased from about 3% in 2014 to about 2% before the EU referendum, due primarily to slower global growth. However, it added that the vote to leave the EU is likely to lead to a "significant further slowdown" with UK GDP growth forecast to decelerate to about 1.6% in 2016 and 0.6% in 2017. For Northern Ireland, that means forecast growth of about 1% 2016, falling to 0.2% in 2017, making it the poorest-performing of the 12 UK regions. PwC Northern Ireland chairman, Paul Terrington said that action by the Bank of England should help confidence. He added that the post-referendum economic downturn should not be anything like as severe as that following the global financial crisis of 2008-9. "Our main scenario projections suggests that the UK should narrowly avoid a recession over the next year, although we recognise that risks are weighted somewhat to the downside at present. "It that forecast proves accurate, Northern Ireland should also avoid recession, although that may be a close call," Mr Terrington said. The 1951 film, notable for its score by George and Ira Gershwin, follows a GI falling in love in post-war Paris. The stage adaptation will include the famous 16-minute ballet sequence between Kelly and co-star Lesley Caron, reconceived by director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. The musical is expected to transfer to Broadway in 2015. The estates of the Gershwin brothers have been trying to develop a stage musical of An American in Paris for two decades, hoping to recreate the success of 1992's Tony-winning musical Crazy for You and last year's adaptation of Porgy and Bess. At their suggestion, US producer Stuart Oken and partner Van Kaplan have joined forces with Jean-Luc Choplin, of Paris' Theatre du Chatelet - where the musical will open - who was separately seeking the rights for a stage adaptation. "The Chatelet is more than a place to do the show," Mr Oken told the New York Times, "Though who wouldn't want to do An American in Paris in Paris, and to bring that feel to our show." Casting has yet to be announced. Wheeldon, a star at New York's City Ballet, previously created a ballet set to the music of the film for the company. The choreographer, who has never previously directed on Broadway, remains best known for his work on the 2002 musical adaptation Sweet Smell of Success. The commemorative wheelbarrow and spade were made to mark the first sod being cut on Llanfyllin Railway in 1861. The final sale price was £1,100 more than the minimum guide price of £3,000. The line opened from Llanymynech in 1863 to provide access to limestone quarries and the main line. Halls auctioneers at Shrewsbury expected interest from specialist collectors as the items were commissioned by Victorian railway engineer Thomas Savin. In 1857, Mr Savin formed a partnership to build the Vale of Clwyd Railway and became principle contractor for many of the lines that became the Cambrian Railways. His bankruptcy in 1866 led to the stalling of Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway, which became a part of Cambrian Railways, said Halls fine art director Jeremy Lamond. "Railway heritage items with this level of provenance always attract great interest from collectors and we were delighted with the price it achieved at auction," said Mr Lamond. Milo Yiannopoulos, 32, is an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump. Hundreds of students rallied on Wednesday night. At least one fire was started and riot police used tear gas as the campus was put on lockdown. Mr Trump later threatened to withdraw federal funds from the university if it "does not allow free speech". The president suggested it was condoning those who practice "violence on innocent people with a different point of view". Analysis - Anthony Zurcher, BBC News North America Reporter You can imagine how it probably went down. Donald Trump woke up in the White House, turned on Fox News and saw images of black-clad anarchists clashing with police on the campus of the University of California - Berkeley. By 6:13 am ET (11:13 GMT), he had fired off a tweet condemning the university's handling of the incident and threatening to cut off the school's federal funds. (It received $370m (£294m) in federal research grants in 2014-2015). The violence - which occurred during larger protests against a campus speaking engagement by alt-right writer and provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos - resulted in the university cancelling the event, which prompted Mr Trump's accusations of free speech infringement. During the 2016 Republican primary campaign, Mr Trump called off one of his own campaign rallies in Chicago because of violent protests outside the venue. In the days that followed, his team defended the decision as a logical move based on public safety concerns. That may explain why president seemed a bit uncertain in this recent Twitter fusillade. Unlike many of his all-cap attacks, he ended his threat to withhold federal funds with a question mark, not an exclamation point. Mr Yiannopoulos later told Fox News that he had been rushed to safety by his security team after protesters began hurling rocks. "Obviously it's a liberal campus so they hate any libertarians or conservatives who dare to express an opinion on their campuses," he said. "They particularly don't like me," he added. Mr Yiannopoulos' comments have been criticised as racist and misogynist. Last year he was banned from Twitter after leading a campaign against Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones. Berkeley College Republicans sponsored Mr Yiannopoulos' visit. Their spokesman, Pieter Sittler, said they didn't agree with everything he said, but "he gives a voice to repressed conservative thought on American college campuses". UC Berkeley stressed that it had not invited Mr Yiannopoulos, but had rejected earlier calls to cancel the event. Protests began peacefully earlier on Wednesday. But demonstrators later broke windows at the hall where the talk was due to be held, threw smoke bombs and started a fire on Sproul Plaza. Protest organiser Yvette Felarca defended the demonstration, describing the actions of students as "self-defence". "We have the right to defend ourselves," she said, adding: "This shutting down Milo Yiannopoulos, and doing whatever's necessary to do that, is our right to self-defence." But some of the students at the university said the behaviour of a number of demonstrators was "absolutely horrific". "It's horrible. It's disgusting, what's going on right now. It's one thing to protest someone's right to come here and speak, but it's another thing to create this much amount of destruction and violence," said student Pranav Jandhyala. Another, Colin Duke, said: "I just came to see if I could get into the Milo event. I support free speech. It's Sproul Plaza, so the birthplace of campus free speech. And it just got shut down by a bunch of people in black cloth." University spokesman Dan Moulof said the protest had been hijacked by a small number of masked agitators. "What's really unfortunate tonight is that the violent actions of a very few interfered with the desires of the many to participate in legal and lawful protest," Mr Moulof said. Mr Yiannopoulos is a senior editor of Breitbart News, the most-read conservative news website in the US. Breitbart, which has been accused by some of being a hate site, makes no secret of its close links to Mr Trump. In November, in an interview with the BBC's James Cook, Mr Yiannopoulos said that despite attempts to silence him, the "alt-right is unstoppable". "I want to desensitise people to this offence-taking, grievance and victimhood culture, and if the way to respond to outrage culture is to be outrageous - which seems to be working... I'm winning on college campuses to be sure - then so much the better," he said. On Mr Trump's inauguration day last month, a supporter of the president shot a man protesting against a visit by Mr Yiannopoulos to the University of Washington in Seattle. The gunman was not charged with a crime, after police determined he acted in self-defence. His Facebook profile indicated that he was also a supporter of the controversial Breitbart editor and the National Rifle Association. Wednesday's no-show by Mr Yiannopoulos is not his first campus cancellation. Last November, his old school cancelled a talk he had been due to give. The Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury, England, said they took the decision partly because of the threat of demonstrations. The plans by property investor Formal Investments include a new-build on Bath Street with 130,000 sq ft of office space. A building on Bath Street which was previously occupied by a BHS store will also be remodelled and refurbished. A third building on Sauchiehall Street and Renfield Street will be improved to create retail space and offices. The properties were acquired last year by Formal Investments. Director Nicholas King said: "This proposal shows a really exciting vision for an important site in Glasgow city centre and will provide the highest quality environments for retailers and businesses large and small." The architectural design work for the redevelopment has been carried out by Glasgow practice Stallan-Brand. First there was his statement that the Irish government was considering setting up an all-island forum to discuss the implications of the Brexit vote in advance of a meeting of the North South Ministerial Council. But he had to step back from that once the Northern Ireland First Minister and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader, Arlene Foster, said she had not been consulted in advance and saw no need for such a new body. Then there was the decision by three Independent Irish government ministers to vote in favour of a bill - it was defeated - to allow abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities and in so doing ignore the advice of the Republic of Ireland's Attorney General about the constitutionality of the measure. Many have criticised the Independent ministers of also ignoring the doctrine of collective cabinet responsibility and setting a bad precedent despite the "new politics" associated with the minority government, which is dependent on the support of the main opposition party, Fianna Fáil, in votes of confidence and on financial matters. And after that, there was the re-appointment of the former Children's Minister, Dr James Reilly, who lost his seat in the general election, as the party's deputy leader - much to the surprise of most of the Fine Gael parliamentary party. Mr Kenny had already indicated before the current Fine Gael minority government was formed at the beginning of May that he would not lead his party into the next election but said he would serve a full term as taoiseach. This week, for the first time in years, his leadership was raised at Fine Gael's parliamentary party by a former junior minister, Fergus O'Dowd. The following day another TD, Jim Daly, told the Republic of Ireland's national broadcaster RTÉ that he expected Mr Kenny to go after the budget due in the autumn, but which will not be fully enacted until the spring. Since then a number of Fine Gael TDs and ministers have privately told journalists that they too expect a new leader early next year. An opinion poll in the Irish Times has suggested that the public's choice to replace Mr Kenny is Leo Varadkar, the Minister for Social Protection, ahead of Simon Coveney, the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government. But Mr Kenny's supporters have been saying that with the Brexit vote, now is not the time to change leader. They say that he has a close relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who he will meet in Berlin next week, which should be used to protect Ireland's interests north and south. Others counter that this relationship has not yet led to the promised "game changer" and European re-capitalisation of Irish banks. Whatever the truth of either claim it seems unlikely Enda Kenny will be taoiseach by the time the Brexit negotiations have concluded. The sound of the ticking clock on his premiership is a lot louder this week than it was even a week ago.

The winner will be announced at a dinner in Prague on 13 June. Andy Murray was rarely out of the headlines last year with victories at Wimbledon and the Rio Olympics as well as finishing 2016 top of the men's tennis rankings and then being awarded a knighthood. But who will make 2017 their year? In a month's time, Scotland will begin their Six Nations campaign against Ireland and all the home nations will be looking to impress ahead of the Lions' tour to New Zealand this summer. Phil Goodlad: "Stuart Hogg and Jonny Gray are the leading prospects for Scottish involvement in the Lions tour. Hogg travelled four years ago as back-up but in 2017 his pace, running lines and booming clearance kicks for both Glasgow Warriors and Scotland could be potential weapons for the tourists." Andy Burke: "Hogg stands out as the best hope of a Scot starting in a Lions Test for the first time since 2001. If he performs to his scintillating best in the Six Nations then the Lions 15 jersey should be his." Tom English: "Gray's excellence has been long appreciated in Scottish rugby but now the rest of the hemisphere is catching up. Competition for places in the Lions second row is massive, Gray is in with a huge chance of being on the plane to New Zealand." Phil Goodlad: "In the boiler house Gray is a work horse. Tireless at the breakdown and adds huge grunt around the park. Never gives up which is exactly what Warren Gatland's men will have to do if they are to make an impression this summer." And, closer to home, Clive Lindsay adds: "Edinburgh full-back Blair Kinghorn is likely to receive his first Scotland cap this year." Scotland's women's and men's national football teams had contrasting fortunes in 2016. Anna Signeul's side sealed a place at Euro 2017 in the Netherlands - a first major tournament for Scotland women. Chris McLaughlin: "Great chance for one of the world's best players, Kim Little, to shine at a major competition. The 26-year-old Arsenal Ladies midfielder already has 117 international caps to her name and has been widely tipped to be one of the key players in the Netherlands." David Currie: "Glasgow City goalkeeper Gemma Fay could earn her 200th international cap this year - she has 193 at the moment. Scotland will need her to be in top form at Euro 2017. The Scots face England, ranked fourth in the world, Spain - 14th - and Portugal in the group stage." In the men's game, Gordon Strachan's side have had a disappointing start to their qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, taking four points from a possible 12 so far. However, Celtic's Stuart Armstrong and Hearts' Jamie Walker are among the Scottish midfielders coming to the fore in the build-up to March's meeting with Slovenia. Chris McLaughlin: "Armstrong is a young confidence player who is now oozing self belief. Totally transformed under manager Brendan Rodgers, Armstrong is now having the kind of effect at Celtic that he had at Dundee United. If he continues to develop and finally breaks into the international set-up, the Scottish champions could struggle to hold on to him." Liam McLeod says of Armstrong: "Scotland call-up. Watch this space." Richard Wilson: "Hearts' most creative player, Jamie Walker, is maturing into an integral part of the Tynecastle side. He is currently the team's top scorer and with his ability to break opposition defences with his passing or running with the ball, he could progress into the Scotland squad in the next 12 months." Scotland's athletes are between the Olympics and next year's Commonwealth Games but there are European and world events on the horizon. Jane Lewis: "Laura Muir has already proved herself as a world-class athlete, although 2016 was a mixed year. She broke British records and won the Diamond League title, however there was disappointment at the Olympics in Rio. But Muir is a strong, gutsy character and will no doubt use that to spur her on to further success in 2017. The European Indoor Championships take place in Belgrade in March and then a home World Championships in August await." Kheredine Idessane: "Andrew Butchart had a breakthrough year in 2016, in which he finished sixth in the Olympic 5,000m final in Rio (won by Mo Farah) and also broke long-standing Scottish records over 3,000m and 5,000m. He'll be a strong medal contender for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast. From Dunblane, Butchart is a friend of the Murrays, and his girlfriend Caitlin is the step-daughter of Andy Murray's dad, Will." Jane Lewis: "Callum Hawkins had an impressive 2016 and as a result has already been selected for Great Britain at this summer's World Championships in London. The Kilbarchan long-distance runner finished ninth in the Rio Olympics marathon and capped off a great year by winning the Great Scottish Run half-marathon in Glasgow. The 24-year-old gets his 2017 season up and running at the Edinburgh International Cross Country on Saturday." Tom English: "2016 was a wretched year for golfer Stephen Gallacher, his form falling off a cliff partly because of a persistent wrist injury. The end of the year suggested he's on his way back, though. His last four tournaments have been promising. Every week is a big week in 2017." Andy Burke: "Described as 'the finest young talent Scotland has had since Ken Buchanan' by his manager Barry McGuigan, boxer Josh Taylor captured the Commonwealth super lightweight title by stopping Dave Ryan in October and will make his Las Vegas debut later this month on the undercard of the re-match between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz. A potential all-Scottish showdown with Ricky Burns also looms in the distance, though perhaps not this year." Jane Lewis: "Duncan Scott already has two Olympic silver medals and he's only 19 years old. The Stirling University swimmer helped Team GB to relay success in the 4x200m freestyle and the 4x100m medley in Rio. His reputation is growing fast and he'll now want to further prove himself among the best. The British Swimming trials in April will be used as selection trials for the World Championships in Budapest in July." David Currie: "Paul Foster has won the Indoor Bowls World Championships four times already, his new fitness regime might just help him to win it again later this month in Norfolk. He might have to beat five-time winner and best pal Alex 'Tattie' Marshall to do it." Connor Hughes, from Altan Close, Dunmurry, on the outskirts of the city, denied two charges linked to the seizure on 27 March, 2014. Although few details emerged during the brief hearing at Belfast Crown Court, it is understood the device was found in a holdall in Shaw's Road. Bomb disposal officers made it safe. Mr Hughes was charged with possessing an improvised explosive device, that was to be detonated by a command wire, with intent to endanger life or cause injury to property. He was also denied possessing the explosives in suspicious circumstances, on the same date - 27 March, 2014. He pleaded not guilty to both charges and was remanded back into custody. The case is due to be mentioned again in court on 28 January. Whiteley, 28, failed to take his chance when called up by England Lions in 2015-16, making just 62 runs in five matches and 78 in four List A games. But hitting six sixes in an over against Yorkshire on Sunday has brought him back into the spotlight. "I hope Ross gets a chance in some of these T20s coming up," said Rhodes. "The one thing that disappoints him is that when he played with the Lions, he didn't quite show what he's got," Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "If you get picked for a higher level and you don't produce, then you fall by the wayside. But I'd certainly rather him in our team then play against him. He's one of the best finishers in the game. "He went in earlier against Yorkshire as we had a bigger target to chase. Anything from eight overs out, he's devastating." Whiteley will be back in action on Wednesday against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge when he faces England limited-overs opener Alex Hales, another man to have hit six successive sixes, although his effort against the Birmingham Bears in 2015 was not in the same over. Yorkshire-born Whiteley became only the fifth batsman in professional cricket history to hit six sixes in an over but, of the four previous batsmen who have achieved the feat, he was the first to end up on the losing side. Having lost by 37 runs, Worcestershire now have just one point from their first five T20 Blast group games. "It probably didn't sink in at the time," said Whiteley. "I was more focused on just trying to win, and the fact that we didn't was pretty tough to take. "I'm a team player and, having lost the game, the personal milestone does not mean that much. But I've been pigeon-holed as a power hitter, so it's nice to back that up." Whiteley has hit 75 sixes in 46 T20 matches for Worcestershire since arriving from Derbyshire in 2013, his best season's effort coming in 2015 when he cleared the ropes 29 times, matching both Luke Wright of Sussex and West Indies opener Chris Gayle, who plundered his in just three matches for Somerset. His eight in the innings had earlier been matched by Yorkshire's David Willey, who then edged their private duel by getting him out. And, even then, both were short of the nine posted by Glamorgan's Colin Ingram against Essex at Chelmsford a week earlier. But most disappointed man of all at Headingley was BBC Hereford & Worcester commentator Dave Bradley. He was the lucky man on the microphone when Whiteley was at the crease, but his chance to be immortalised soon disappeared when he discovered that the station's recording equipment was not working. The case accuses Early Bird Foods & Co of breaking the law with its "phonetic play on Daryl Hall and John Oates' well-known brand name". Lawyers for the singers filed the case in Brooklyn federal court. The duo claim the company is attempting "to trade off of the fame and notoriety associated with the artist's and plaintiff's well-known marks". Haulin' Oats is a nut-free cereal made from maple syrup and oats, described by its makers as a "back-to-basics flavour... perfect by itself or as the base for a breakfast parfait creation". The case notes that various parties have attempted over the years "to make a connection between the artists' names and oats-related products". Hall and Oates started working together in the early 1970s, and have become one of the most successful duos in pop history. Whole Oats is the name of the singers' corporate company and their first album. Their hits include Maneater, Rich Girl, Private Eyes, I Can't Go for That (No Can Do), Sara Smile and She's Gone. Earlier this week, they postponed a concert at the Warner Theatre in Washington DC "due to Daryl Hall having laryngitis caused by a severe cold and flu", according to a statement on their official website. The concert has been rescheduled to 29 April. Virtanen joins from Finnish Premier Division side IFK Mariehamn, and has represented Finland at under-21 level. "Otso is someone we've been tracking for a while and I'm delighted that we have concluded the deal," head coach Alan Stubbs told the club website. "He is a keeper with lots of potential that we're looking forward to developing." The 6ft 5in goalkeeper becomes Hibernian's fifth signing of the January transfer window, following the additions of strikers Chris Dagnall and Anthony Stokes, defender Niklas Gunnarsson and midfielder Kevin Thomson. Derk Bolt and Eugenio Follender were handed over to a delegation from the Colombian Ombudsman's Office, the agency confirmed in a tweet. National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels said they had freed them on Friday but later retracted the announcement. Fears were raised for peace talks between the rebels and the government. However, the Dutch pair were finally handed over in a rural area of the Catatumbo region, near the border with Venezuela. Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders welcomed the release as "very good news" and thanked the Colombian authorities for having worked hard to free the men. Photos released by the Ombudsman's Office show the Dutchmen flanked by armed and masked ELN fighters before being transferred to its delegation. The Colombian Ombudsman's Office, or Defensoría del Pueblo de Colombia, is a national government agency which oversees the protection of civil and human rights. Television journalist Bolt, 62, and cameraman Follender, 58, had been on an assignment to search for the mother of a Colombian child adopted in the Netherlands when they were taken. In an interview picked up by fellow Dutch journalist Edwin Koopman, Bolt told Colombian broadcaster Caracol Radio the rebels had given him a "very long" document containing points about the peace talks. He and Follender, he said, were both well apart from some minor cuts from bushes. They had thought they were being robbed when they were kidnapped, he said. They were kept hidden in houses but one day they were made to walk for 14 hours to evade the army. But the rebels had been respectful and never threatened to kill them, he told the radio. "It was rather heavy," he said, "but the people accompanying us were quite nice." "While our families at home feared for us, we were sitting drinking coffee with the guerrillas." Dutch broadcaster Kro-Ncrv TV, whose Spoorloos programme the journalists were working for, said it was "pleased and relieved" that Bolt and Follender were free. "We are grateful to everyone who has worked to release Derk and Eugenio," it added in comments quoted by AFP news agency. "In particular, we thank the foreign ministry. They have really done everything in The Hague and in Colombia in order to bring this about." Last year the ELN kidnapped a Spanish journalist and several Colombians in the same area. All were later released. The ELN is the second largest left-wing guerrilla group in Colombia, behind the Farc. The Farc signed a peace deal with the government last November and are preparing to enter civilian life but the ELN only started peace talks in February this year. Wales captain Sam Warburton is expected to be joined by nine more players on dual contracts under the new agreement. If the deal goes ahead, funding for the 10 will be in addition to an annual £6.7m shared between Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Scarlets and Dragons. The WRU and regions have been asked to comment. Their last deal ended in June 2014, and if a fresh settlement is not forthcoming the regions face a combined £6.7m shortfall going into the 2014-15 season. Amid the impasse, Warburton is unable to play for Blues. But he is reportedly to be joined on joint WRU-regions funding by fellow forwards Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys) Taulupe Faletau (Dragons), Gethin Jenkins (Blues) and Ken Owens (Scarlets). The backs could include uncapped, New Zealand-born, Cardiff Blues utility recruit Gareth Anscombe, who does not arrive in Wales until October. Wing Alex Cuthbert (Blues), centre Scott Williams, full-back/wing Liam Williams (both Scarlets) and fly-half Dan Biggar (Ospreys) complete the 10 players to be dual-contracted. The previous contract guaranteed the release of players for Wales coach Warren Gatland's two-week squad training camps ahead of November games, the Six Nations and for the fourth autumn Test which Wales regularly stage outside the approved International Rugby Board window. If a new deal is not finalised the regions could ensure Wales face South Africa on 29 November without any regional players. However, that threat would disappear and there would be stability in Wales ahead of the 2015 World Cup if a deal is done. During the protracted row, teams from around Europe negotiated a revamp of cross-border competitions that will succeed the Heineken Cup next season. The Welsh regions, represented by Regional Rugby Wales, were party to that deal and are represented on the board of the new company set up to run the three-tier tournament from Switzerland. However, none of the funding from that tournament is scheduled to be paid to the regions until October 2014. Under the previous agreement, regions were partly funded via the WRU, guaranteeing a set level of income and covering the release of players for Wales international duties. Other funding came via participation in competitions, and similar arrangements will be put in place if the new deal goes ahead. The regions contended the previous agreement did not give them enough money to compete against leading French and English teams. A number of high-profile Wales international players have already made big-money moves to play in France or England, with the Welsh regions claiming to be unable to match the wages on offer elsewhere. British and Irish Lions players Leigh Halfpenny (Blues to Toulon), Richard Hibbard (Ospreys to Gloucester) and Jonathan Davies (Scarlets to Clermont Auvergne) are among the players to have left Wales. None of the Welsh teams reached the knockout stages of the European Cup, or the play-offs of the Pro12, in 2013-14. Police and UK Border Force officials made 167,000 seizures in 2014-15 - a fall of 14% over the previous year and the largest drop since 2006-07. There was, however, a substantial rise in the amount of heroin confiscated by authorities. Policing minister Mike Penning said there were "promising signs" that drug laws and policies were working. Officials carried out 29,705 seizures of class A drugs in 2014-15. Cocaine was the most common type found, with authorities confiscating 3,387kg in more than 15,000 seizure operations. In April cocaine with an estimated street value of £500m was recovered from a North Sea tug, in the biggest single class A drug seizure in the UK. In the same period, 1,113kg of heroin was confiscated by police - up from 647kg in 2013-14: a rise of 72%. The latest figures show class B drugs accounted for most of the seizures - 132,253 in total - the majority being herbal cannabis. More than 360,000 cannabis plants were confiscated in 11,612 operations, along with 15,000kg of the prepared drug. Total seizures of anabolic steroids were also up significantly. This was due to a number of very large seizures made by the Border Force. The City of London Police had the highest number of confiscations per million people, while outside the capital the highest number was by Dyfed-Powys Police in Wales. Lincolnshire Police recorded the lowest number. Mr Penning said: "Seizures are just one part of a complex picture in our fight against drugs. Our strategy is clear - we must prevent drug use in our communities, help those who are dependent to recover and ensure law enforcement agencies stop the supply of drugs and the organised crime associated with it. "There are promising signs our approach is working - with a downward trend in drug use over the last decade and more people recovering from dependency now than in 2009-10." But Harry Shapiro, a drug information analyst, said the statistics were not a reliable indicator of the general impact of drug policies. He said: "One year's large seizures can distort the picture and overall, seizure figures often tell us more about enforcement activity than the actual amount of drugs available on the streets." Mr Shapiro, who worked with former drugs charity DrugScope, added: "A good example of how it is difficult to do a simple read across from seizures to the drug situation is the fact that heroin use is falling and the number of seizures went down, yet the amount of heroin seized showed a significant rise." Prof Malcolm Chalmers was speaking on the first day of a inquiry into the defence impact of Scots independence. The Westminster inquiry also heard from retired Lt Col Stuart Crawford, now a political and media defence consultant. He said it would be "sensible" for the Scottish and UK government to begin a dialogue with the MoD on independence. Last month the Scottish Affairs Committee heard Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey say that the MoD had made no contingency plans for independence. On Tuesday morning, the Defence Committee heard from Professor Chalmers, director of research at Royal United Services Institute. He said that in the absence of formal pre-independence discussions and contingency plans, the MoD could deploy plans which are already in place for "other sorts of emergencies". "In my experience there are people in the MoD that are thinking about these things and talking about them," he said. "I think going the extra stage and asking the armed forces to make detailed plans for contingencies which would only be relevant in the case of Scottish independence is much harder. "As far as I know they are not making that sort of detailed planning. "Clearly, some of the aspects of independence could overlap with other sorts of emergencies. "For example, if there were to be some sort of terrorist attack that closed Faslane for a period of months, then that sort of contingency planning which I presume that there is would be relevant to this scenario. "But there are other aspects of Scottish independence which are unique." MPs questioned who the Scottish government was consulting with on its future defence plans, given that neither witness has been asked for their expertise, nor were they aware of anyone else in the wider defence community who has been asked to contribute. The inquiry heard that the UK government's post-independence defence contingencies were similarly unclear, with Prof Chalmers suggesting that there may be "an understandable reluctance from London to reveal negotiating cards prematurely". He suggested there will be "lots of options" on how to deploy units post-independence, so there was no need to make concrete decisions ahead of the vote. But he said it was important to provide "enough information to the Scottish people so that they can make an informed decision". Juve beat Monaco 2-1 in the semi-final second leg to triumph 4-1 on aggregate. Goalkeeper Buffon, who has made more than 1,000 appearances in his career, was on the losing side as Juve were beaten in the 2003 and 2015 finals. "Two years ago everyone thought it was my last final - but you have to believe in your dreams," said the 39-year-old. With Juve already leading 2-0 from the first leg, goals from Mario Mandzukic and Dani Alves left Monaco needing four goals in 46 minutes to progress. Kylian Mbappe's second-half strike made little difference to the result, but ended Buffon's run of 10 hours of Champions League football without conceding. Sevilla's Nico Pareja was the last player before Mbappe to score past Buffon in Europe, in a group-stage match on 22 November. Juve have since beaten both Porto and Barcelona over two legs without conceding. "That's how we got through," said Buffon. "We've got to Cardiff - I won't say it was our aim because getting to the final means nothing. "I'm really happy because I'm in good shape. I can't deny the fact that if we didn't have a great team, getting there wouldn't be possible." Juve will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the final on 3 June. Atletico host Real on Wednesday looking to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit. Austin Thomas, a contractor, was killed when he was hit by a bucket loader at UPM Shotton on Monday. Fellow workers held the silence at 12:45 GMT on Thursday, along with colleagues at other sites across the UK. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating Mr Thomas's death. UPM Shotton General manager David Ingham said: "We have had many individuals and companies, from within the UK paper industry and beyond, who have made contact with us to express condolences to the bereaved and solidarity with all employees who have been affected by the tragic accident." Companies UPM and Downton, that are contracted to provide warehouse services at Shotton, said they had both fully reviewed procedures following Mr Thomas's death. Edinburgh researchers have received £1.5m to conduct the study, which will involve 390 people with a condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). The six-year trial will test the combination of two therapies used to treat a different bone condition. Researchers will track the participants for up to five years. About half of the study's participants will be treated with a drug called teriparatide followed by treatment with another drug called zoledronic acid. The other half will receive standard care. OI is caused by genetic mutations that lead to abnormalities in a component of bone called collagen. People with the disease have extremely fragile bones that break easily, often from mild trauma or for no apparent cause. Both teriparatide and zoledronic acid are established treatments for the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis but this is the first time they have been tested in combination as therapies for OI. The study, led by the University of Edinburgh, will involve 25 hospitals in the UK and one in the Republic of Ireland. It is being funded by The National Institute for Health Research Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) Programme. Prof Stuart Ralston, of the University of Edinburgh's centre for genomic and experimental medicine, said: "This is potentially a game-changing trial since it is the first study that had been specifically designed to investigate whether any treatment can prevent fractures in osteogenesis imperfecta. "If the results are positive, it could herald a new dawn in the treatment of this rare but devastating condition." Patricia Osborne, chief executive of the Brittle Bone Society, said "We have been supporting people with OI for 50 years and are pleased to see a potential new therapy being trialled that may improve the quality of peoples' lives". Kane Boyce was heard to shout "log on, log on" as he attacked 20-year-old Paula Newman in a street in New Addington, south London. She had refused to tell him a password to one of her accounts. The 34-year-old from Erith, Kent, had admitted her manslaughter but an Old Bailey jury found him guilty of murder. He has been ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years. Jurors were told that he had a history of violence towards women and was manipulative and controlling. He was also known for his charm. The evening before her death on 12 November 2013, the couple went to visit his friends. When they returned home he began screaming and swearing at her. Jurors were told that one of the neighbours heard a male voice shout three or four times "log on, log, on", the reply "no, no, no", and then the male voice say: "If you don't log on, we'll see what happens." Then in the early hours, residents in Elmside, New Addington, were woken by the screech of car tyres and a man shouting and a woman screaming outside. Boyce pushed her to the ground where he hit her and stamped on her face, causing a major haemorrhage. He then drove to a friend's house where he showered her. It was only hours later when he noticed she was slipping in and out of consciousness that he finally called an ambulance. She died in hospital. Sentencing Boyce, Judge Worsley said he was "controlling, obsessive and violent" towards women and said he had a record of violence to them going back 15 years. "Paula was a vulnerable woman. Besotted by you, she was only 20 and you were 13 years her senior, almost a foot taller and you weighed some seven stone more than she did. "The attack was a systematic, brutal assault using fists and feet and your superior force." Ms Newman's brother Gary told the court her death had left her family "shocked, cheated and devastated". In a victim impact statement, he said her four brothers are wracked by guilt they could not protect their little sister. Investigating officer Det Ch Insp Diane Tudway said Boyce's "utter obsession with his unfounded belief that his girlfriend was cheating on him" had led to the brutal attack. The exhibition will offer an "unprecedented" look at the 79-year-old's six decade career. It aims to show Hockney as an "intelligent and profound interrogator of the essence of art". Hockney said: "It has been a pleasure to revisit works I made decades ago, including some of my earliest paintings." He added: "We're looking back over a lifetime with this exhibition, and I hope, like me, people will enjoy seeing how the roots of my new and recent work can be seen in the developments over the years." The exhibition will take visitors through a chronological overview of Hockney's career, from his first appearance on the public stage as a student in 1961, through to his iconic works of the 1960s and 1970s, and his recent success at the Royal Academy and beyond. It will include his portraits of family, friends and himself, for example Self Portrait with Blue Guitar 1977, as well as his iconic images of Los Angeles swimming pools. They will sit with more recent work, such as his celebrated Yorkshire landscapes of the 2000s, work made since his return to California in 2013, and experimental iPad drawings. Alex Farquharson, Director, Tate Britain said: "David Hockney is without doubt one of Britain's greatest living artists. "His practice is both consistent, in its pursuit of core concerns, while also wonderfully diverse. Hockney's impact on post-war art, and culture more generally, is inestimable, and this is a fantastic opportunity to see the full trajectory of his career to date." The exhibition will open on 9 February until 29 May, before touring internationally to Paris and New York. Latest figures for May show 98.3% of patients, not initially referred for suspected cancer but subsequently diagnosed with the disease, started treatment within 31 days. This was up from 96.7% in April. The target is 98% and had been last met in February. Four of the six health boards in Wales which provide cancer care met the target, however Aneurin Bevan and Cardiff and Vale health boards fell short. However, NHS Wales continues to miss its other key cancer target of making sure 95% of patients initially diagnosed with suspected cancer should start treatment within 62 days. In May, 88.6% of patients being treated through this route started treatment within two months - up from 86.7% in April. But none of the health boards in Wales, individually, met this target. Last December, Health Secretary Vaughan Gething - then deputy health minister - ordered health boards to produce 100-day plans to improve cancer services and waiting times. Responding to the latest statistics, Mr Gething said: "We are treating more people than ever for cancer in Wales and crucially, cancer survival rates continue to increase year-on-year. "It's encouraging that health boards are improving performance and ensuring that more people are starting treatment within the target times. "In particular, I'm pleased to see that health boards have met the demanding 98% 31-day target and are improving against the 62-day target. "In the last 12 months we have seen a 3.6% increase in the number of patients who started treatment within the 62-day target. "We are seeing real improvements, not just against these targets for treatment times but in outcomes." He said more than half of people would now survive five years after their diagnosis and premature cancer deaths had fallen around 14% in the past 10 years. But Susan Morris, head of services at Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales said she was "disappointed" that the 62-day target for treating people with cancer has been missed again meaning that 69 people did not start their treatment on time in May. "While we are pleased that the 31-day treatment target was met, this still meant that 14 people did not start their cancer treatment within this time," she said. "A delay in starting cancer treatment can cause increased anxiety to people with cancer and their loved ones at an already difficult time." Meanwhile, new figures show the performance of emergency care departments in Wales has improved slightly but continues to be well below target. Figures for June show 83.3% of patients spent less than four hours in urgent care departments before being before being admitted, transferred or discharged. That is up slightly from 82.6% in May. The target is that 95% of patients should spend less than four hours in A&E but this has never been met. The figure for 2012 represents a rise from 14,000 in 1993, according to the data compiled by Cancer Research UK. It means the rate of lung cancer in the female population has risen by 22% to 65 cases per 100,000 people. The trend is the opposite of what is happening with men and is linked to smoking, which peaked in men in the 1940s but in women peaked in the 1970s. About 24,000 men are diagnosed with lung cancer each year, which means it is the second most common cancer for both sexes. Prof Caroline Dive, from Cancer Research UK, said: "It really is devastating to see that the number of women diagnosed with lung cancer continues to climb. "We also know survival remains poor and one of the problems is that lung cancer tends to be diagnosed at a late stage when it has already spread." That makes it hard to treat and as a result lung cancer claims the lives of 35,000 people each year. Just 10% of people live for five years after diagnosis - compared with more than 80% for breast and prostate cancer. Prof Dive said efforts were being made to tackle this with lung cancer one of its key priorities of its research strategy. The work focuses on a new technique to carry out a biopsy using magnets to capture rogue cancer cells in the blood of patients - potentially providing vital information on the biology of the disease, which could help improve treatment. But as well as investing in new treatment techniques, Nell Barrie, senior science communication manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "It's vital that we keep on fighting against lung cancer. "It's the biggest cancer killer in the UK so the government and health service must work to help smokers quit by providing more stop smoking services to help people give up this deadly addiction." The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) said in a letter that the money to pay her came from "government corruption and human rights violations". Minaj, 33, entertained thousands in the Angolan capital, Luanda, on Saturday. The Christmas event was hosted by mobile phone company Unitel, which is part-owned by the family of Angola's President Jose Eduardo dos Santos. Since the end of the conflict in 2002, Africa's second-largest oil producer has witnessed an economic boom, but critics of the elected government say the wealth has only benefited a small elite. HRF's Thor Halvorssen wrote in the letter to Minaj last week that her participation in a performance sponsored by a government "involved in gross human rights violations would be improper". Mr Halvorssen points out that Unitel is controlled by Isabel dos Santos, daughter of the president and said to be Africa's richest woman. Transparency International recently named the billionaire as one of 15 symbols of grand corruption worldwide. Two days after the accusation, Ms Dos Santos's company Fidequity issued a statement insisting it is an independent company and does not use public funds. Before going on stage on Saturday, Minaj posted a photo of herself with Angola's flag on Instagram along with one of her posing with Isabel dos Santos with the words: "She's just the 8th richest woman in the world. (At least that's what I was told by someone b4 we took this photo) Lol. Yikes!!!!! GIRL POWER!!!!! This motivates me soooooooooo much!!!!" Minaj also shared the stage with several local acts. Her performance came a day after a judge ordered the release of 15 Angolan activists, including prominent rapper Luaty Beirao, who were arrested six months ago during a book reading where one of the books on the agenda was about non-violent resistance to repressive regimes. The group will return to court next month for their trial's conclusion on charges of "rebellion" and attempting to carry out a "coup". Minaj is not the only performer to be criticised by rights groups for their choice of gigs. Singer Jennifer Lopez was criticised in 2013 for singing Happy Birthday to the leader of Turkmenistan, who was accused of human rights violations. In 2011, Nelly Furtado said that she would give away $1m (£615,000) she was paid to perform for the family of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Muhammad, 24, defeated former GB rival turned Moldovan fighter Aaron Cook, 7-3 in the final in Mexico City. It guaranteed him a top-six world ranking at the season-ending event, meaning he joins Jade Jones in winning places for British fighters in Rio. World champion Bianca Walkden will look to secure a +67kg berth on Sunday. Muhammad was controversially chosen ahead of then world number one Cook for the London 2012 squad, but after a bitter legal battle his selection was approved by the British Olympic Association and he went on to secure bronze. With Cook, also 24, subsequently defecting to the former Soviet state, Muhammad is now locked in a battle with world silver medallist Damon Sansum for Rio Olympic selection. Sansum, who lost in the quarter-finals in Mexico, was leading the Olympic race until October, when Muhammad defeated him at the Manchester Taekwondo Grand Prix event. A decision on which fighter will be selected for the Rio 2016 is not expected to be announced until closer to the Games. Assuming world number two Walkden achieves enough points to secure her top-six finish, GB Taekwondo will look to attain a fourth place at the Games via the European Olympic qualification event in Istanbul in January. Britain can only nominate one entrant for one division for that competition, with heavyweight Mahama Cho the favourite to be chosen. Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton was 0.5secs clear of team-mate Nico Rosberg - and 1.1secs ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third. The gap from Mercedes to the rest suggests they may be back to their dominant best after the surprise defeat by Vettel last time out in Malaysia. McLaren-Honda made progress, with Jenson Button 13th fastest and Fernando Alonso as high as seventh early on. On a day when the sun made it through the perpetual Shanghai smog, but on which temperatures remained much cooler than the oppressive tropical heat of Malaysia, several drivers struggled with a lack of grip. Among them were Lotus reserve driver Jolyon Palmer, the British GP2 champion spinning at Turn Eight early in the session on his first outing at a grand prix weekend. Palmer acquitted himself solidly, ending up 15th, 0.6secs slower than team-mate Pastor Maldonado. Hamilton and Rosberg both also ran off the track, struggling with locking brakes at Turn Six, which caught out several other drivers. But the Mercedes appeared to be on a separate level from the rest of the field - and Hamilton one step ahead of Rosberg at the same time. Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton failed to record a time during the first half-hour of the session, but his potential was clear as he set fastest times in the first two sectors only to abort his fastest lap with a mistake at the hairpin at the end of the long back straight. But when he strung a lap together later on, he was 0.541secs ahead of Rosberg. Vettel was 1.124secs off the pace, and continuing the theme of the season in being only fractionally faster than Raikkonen, who was just 0.107secs adrift of the German. Sauber's Felipe Nasr was fifth, 0.017secs ahead of the Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo, who was 0.068secs ahead of team-mate Daniil Kvyat. For Red Bull, despite a power deficit from the Renault engine compared to Mercedes and Ferrari, it was a much better performance after struggling in Malaysia. Carlos Sainz Jr, driving for the Red Bull feeder team Toro Rosso, was eighth, ahead of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas and Massa. McLaren, who have been the slowest team in the first two races this season as new engine partner Honda finds its feet, were for the first time in the mix with the rest. Fernando Alonso was seventh fastest after the first half-hour of runs but the Spaniard failed to improve his time for the rest of the session. Button had been nearly 0.276secs off Alonso after the first runs, but ended up 0.316secs ahead after an improvement on his second run as both drivers evaluated aerodynamic changes to the car, with the help of luminous 'flo-vis' paint, with which engineers can see the airflow over parts of the car. At the back, Will Stevens beat Manor team-mate Roberto Mehri by more than a second but was still 6.346secs off the pace. First practice results Chinese Grand Prix coverage details Referee Jon Moss has been criticised for the decisions that shaped the outcome of Leicester's dramatic 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday, but did he get anything right? Match of the Day 2 pundits Alan Shearer and Ian Wright take a look at how Moss handled the incidents that mattered, and what the result means for the Foxes' title bid. "The game became too much of a pressurised situation for him. He could not handle the pressure and I think that clouded his decisions," said Shearer. "The inconsistencies were mind-boggling." Media playback is not supported on this device "I would give Moss a mark of three out of 10, and I think I am being quite generous," added Wright. With Leicester leading 1-0, Foxes goalscorer Jamie Vardy - who had earlier been shown the first yellow card of the day for a foul on Cheikhou Kouyate - went to ground after tangling with Hammers' defender Angelo Ogbonna inside the area. Referee Moss said no penalty, and showed Vardy a second yellow card for diving. Shearer: "This was the decision that changed the whole dynamic of the game. It had looked like we were heading for another 1-0 Leicester win - suddenly they were down to 10 men and there was a very different atmosphere. "I did not think the tackle that got Vardy his first booking was worthy of a yellow card at all, but this one was definitely a dive. "As much as you can criticise the referee for what happens later, Vardy has to take some criticism because it is blatant. "There was no need for him to dive, because he has got the wrong side of the defender anyway. He was expecting contact, contact didn't come and there was even a little pirouette in there just as he was going over." Wright: "Vardy hardly touched Kouyate - that one was a very, very harsh booking. The referee could easily have had a word with him for that. "For his second yellow card, it looks like a dive to me because of the way he goes into Ogbonna and then gets his legs all tangled up. That is why he got sent off." Referee Moss warns the Leicester defenders for pushing and pulling opponents inside their own penalty area - then points to the spot moments later when Winston Reid falls to the floor after being held by Leicester captain Wes Morgan from a corner. Hammers striker Andy Carroll steps up to make it 1-1. Wright: "Reid had the march on Morgan, who had to try and catch him up. It is soft, but he had grabbed him. "If the referee tells the teams in the dressing room before the game that he will not stand for any holding inside the box, then he should not have to tell the players again during the game. "He has warned them, so he can give a penalty when it happens." Media playback is not supported on this device Shearer: "He warned Huth and Morgan just after half-time but here is no need to give a warning. If it is a penalty, give a penalty. You don't get a warning for a foul outside the box, do you? "I am staggered that the referee chose the 34th game of the season for Leicester to make this point about pulling and shoving in the box. "Why not make the point at the beginning of the season, and go into all the dressing rooms and say 'we are going to try to stamp this out completely so don't complain and moan when we give penalties for holding'. "Do it then, not in the 34th game. This is something that has gone on not only all game, it has gone on all season and it will continue to go on until all referees make the same point. Media playback is not supported on this device "Moss actually gives this penalty for the softest offence. There were far worse incidents in the game than this one. "Reid goes down far easier than he should do - he dives as well. Morgan pulls him a little bit, but he actually falls forward so it is not as though he is pulling him back. "I don't think that was enough for a penalty - if it was, then there should have been four penalties in the game, at least. Technically, this one is a foul but, if he gives it, he has to give the others too." With Leicester now trailing 2-1 to Aaron Cresswell's superb strike, they throw men forward to try to force an equaliser. Ogbonna grapples with Foxes centre-back Huth as he tries to get on the end of a long throw but Moss allows play to continue. Shearer: "This is bizarre. It was five minutes after Moss had given a penalty to West Ham for Morgan holding in the box, so he should be looking out for things like this. "It shows why lack of consistency from referees is part of the problem." Wright: "West Ham know Huth is a danger in the air in the opposition area. Ogbonna has got his hand around his neck so he cannot jump and that is impeding him. "I cannot see the difference between this one and the West Ham penalty that was given. I have got no problem with that one, as long as this is given too." In the final minute of stoppage time, Leicester substitute Jeffrey Schlupp picks up the ball and runs down the left-hand side of the West Ham area. Hammers striker Andy Carroll blocks him off, Schlupp goes down, Moss points to the spot. Wright: "The most you can point your finger at Carroll for is to say he was running back in there recklessly and he made contact. He should have shepherded him away from goal, but a penalty? Really? "If I had been playing for West Ham in that game, I would have felt that the referee had tried to even things up, even if he did miss the foul on Huth. It was very soft." Shearer: "It was never a penalty in a million years. "I think the referee realised he has messed up in not awarding a penalty for the foul on Huth, which is why he has given this one, with the last kick of the game." Leonardo Ulloa stepped up to convert the spot-kick and rescue a draw for his side. It means Claudio Ranieri's side are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League with four games to go and they need eight more points to secure the title. Second-placed Tottenham, who have a game in hand, play Stoke on Monday night. Shearer: "It was a tremendous point for Leicester at the end. "Their right-back Danny Simpson came out afterwards and talked about how that showed they would fight to the death. "It was a bit like when I won the title with Blackburn in 1995 and our goalkeeper Tim Flowers came out after we had battled to beat Newcastle 1-0 right at the end of the season and said 'we have got bottle'. "Nobody remembers we were hopeless in that game, and that we were were lucky to win it, people just remember we won 1-0. "It is exactly the same with Leicester here - they were nowhere near their best but picking up points in games like this to get across the line is all that matters, not the way they do it." Shearer: "The impressive thing about Leicester against West Ham was their team spirit, and how they did not give up. "They were up against it, a man down, 2-1 down and under the cosh with a couple of minutes left. Some people might have thought this was the blip they have been waiting for, but then Leicester came up with another answer, which is what they have done for the vast majority of the season. "You have got to admire how they have kept on going and fought back for what could be a very valuable point in the title race." Media playback is not supported on this device The news came after more bodies were found following Friday's disaster at Meethotamulla on the city outskirts. A number of those killed were children. Angry residents say their warnings of risks posed by the dump were ignored. The 300ft (91m) high pile of rotting debris shifted after floods and a fire, destroying dozens of homes. Residents had been demanding the dump's removal for years, saying it was causing health problems. One man who spoke to BBC Sinhala's Azzam Ameen said he had lost his wife and one of his children in the landslide. Their bodies had been found - but Sivakumar was still looking for his other daughter. The authorities do not know how many people were caught up in the landslide. "We have not received adequate information to find out how many people were living in the area at the time," Brig Roshan Senaviratne told the BBC. He said troops were having to dig down as deep as 20-30ft in places to look for bodies. "Even with machines, it's difficult because the muddy soil means it takes time to complete the process." Some 400 families have been moved to temporary shelters in schools, the AFP news agency reports. The government has now announced the closure of the dump. Reports said 800 tonnes of waste were added to it every day. Officials say rubbish will now be placed in two other sites. Last month, a landslide at a rubbish dump in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, killed at least 113 people. Welsh Government figures showed the target for trainee teacher intake in secondary schools and for PGCEs had both been missed in 2015-16. Owen Hathway, Wales policy officer for the NUT, said the pressures and stresses of the job were putting people off entering the profession. The Welsh Government said it would be looking into the "downwards trend". The target for secondary school trainee intake was missed by a third while intake for primary schools was slightly below the target. For PGCEs it was missed by 19% (235 people). The government said, compared to overall graduate entry figures, teacher training recruitment remained strong and it was working closely with partners to identify and address issues. "We want teaching in Wales to be a first choice profession so we attract the very best," the spokesman said, adding new rules announced in spring are a key part of the drive. Mr Hathway said pressures in the job were putting people off - with figures obtained by the NUT showing nearly 50,000 teaching days were lost in Wales in 2016 due to stress. "People have seen the stresses and it's a real problem, causing ill health, and that does put people off going into teaching," he said. "They see pay freezes, pension cuts, pay cuts and teachers being asked to work for longer and the material benefits - although that's not generally why people go into teaching - are becoming less and less enticing. "They look at the work-life balance, and it's becoming less of an enticing profession." Mr Hathway added many teachers find the job was different to what they expected, and end up leaving. "The vast majority of people going into teaching do so because they want to empower a generation," he said. "But they get into the role and find they're so restricted in the job it doesn't actually benefit pupils and they become disillusioned and the pressures of the job beat the enthusiasm out of them. "Quite a few leave within the first five years because they've been worn down. "I'm not saying the teaching profession is in crisis right now, but it is bordering on a crisis." A former Rhondda Cynon Taff teacher said she left full-time teaching after just two years, aged 24, despite initially seeing it as a lifelong career. The woman, who did not wish to be named, said she was working 11-hour days to keep up with planning and marking, and worked through her weekends and holidays. "I'd try and give myself Friday night off but you spend most of Sunday doing more school work," she said. "Me and my flatmate were both teachers, we'd be sat on the sofa with our laptops because we felt too guilty and lazy to just watch TV so we'd do work as well." She became a supply teacher, thinking this may ease the pressure but left at 27 and found a job in a different profession. "Even with supply there comes planning, I didn't like to just turn up to a class, so I'd prepare sheets for classes ranging from reception to year six on a broad spectrum of subjects. "I felt too young to be tied down to that, I wasn't getting much of a social life. "The older teachers were depressed, half term and summer holidays are taken up with work, you can't fit marking and planning in otherwise." But she added she got a sense of satisfaction from teaching and continues to pay her fees and union membership in the hope of returning in future. "I felt awful for leaving, I still do. I feel like I let the pupils down. "But I needed time away from the classroom pressures, and you're living off a rubbish wage. "I would never tell someone not to teach. I loved and still love teaching, I love helping kids, I love seeing kids come out of their shells. "You can help shape their future, help them become individuals."

Mourinho said he was told he would be sent to the stand if he did not sit down during Wednesday's visit of Hull. "It is quite an emotional game," said Klopp. "To switch off emotions is not simple. We struggle. Not only myself and Jose, but [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger and a lot of others." Klopp said Swarbrick responded to his apology by saying: "No problem, I like your passion." Speaking about that incident following his side's 0-0 draw with Hull, Mourinho said: "A fourth official told a manager: 'I enjoy very much your passion.' I'm told to sit down or I'm going to be sent to the stand." Mourinho appeared to be frustrated by the performance of referee Mike Jones and walked out of a post-match BBC interview. Klopp said: "Maybe I was lucky with what the fourth official said because I have never heard something like this before. There are different ways to handle the situation. "We are all different; sometimes we get a fine, sometimes not. It's not what we want to do, nor is it a tactic." Liverpool, who are 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, visit Hull City on Saturday (15:00 GMT). Police said Kayla, an American bald-eagle, was targeted after violence broke out at a Palace home game against Charlton Athletic in September. A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and attempted criminal damage. Six other men were also arrested on Wednesday in connection with the violence, Scotland Yard said. Kayla has been Crystal Palace's mascot since 2010 and flies around the stadium at every home game. The 19-year-old female is based at Eagle Heights sanctuary in Eynsford, Kent. She is from Canada but was brought to the UK after she became too aggressive to remain at her previous home, according to her owners. Kayla also appeared on the front cover of US rockers King's Of Leon's album, Only By The Night. She has continued to perform her match day duties since the Capital One Cup game against Charlton. The side, known as The Eagles, won the match at Selhurst Park 4-1. At a hearing at Warwick Crown Court, the pair also pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault against seven boys. Tony Wadsworth and his wife Julie previously worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM. The alleged offences are said to have been committed between 1992 and 1999. Julie Wadsworth, 59, of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, denies five counts of outraging public decency and 12 charges of indecent assault. Tony Wadsworth, 69, of the same address, denies ten indecent assault charges that relate to keeping watch for his wife. The couple were granted bail and will go on trial on May 15.

Media playback is not supported on this device Stoke made a bid in the summer for the 23-year-old, whose deal expires at the end of the season, while the Baggies made a third contract offer last month. Potters manager Mark Hughes has said he remains "hopeful" of signing Berahino in the January transfer window. But Albion boss Pulis told BBC Sport: "This club has looked after Berahino since eight or nine years of age." Berahino has not played for the first team since 10 September and was sent to a conditioning camp in France to help him lose weight and regain fitness. "We are interested in him, as a number of other clubs are," said Hughes. "I am hopeful we will be able to get something done." Former England Under-21 international Berahino's deal at The Hawthorns expires at the end of the season and Albion have been in talks with him since the summer. Pulis added: "It has to be a two-way situation. We won't sell him unless it is right for the football club. That has always been the situation; we will not sell the lad because it suits him."

The aircraft came down at the Potrerillos de Mendoza dam in western Argentina, officials said. MTV said the helicopter was flying to a shooting location for the show The Challenge. Neither of those killed was a cast or film crew member, the US channel said, and no-one else was on board. Divers were having difficulty finding the bodies, the security minister for Mendoza province, Gianni Vernier, told Telam news agency. The wreckage lies at a depth of 60m (200ft). It was the second fatal crash of a helicopter involved in a reality TV show this year in Argentina. In March, three French sports personalities were among 10 killed when two helicopters collided in north-western Rioja province. Yachtswoman Florence Arthaud, Olympic swimmer Camille Muffat and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine died with five other French nationals and their two Argentine pilots. The helicopters were involved in the filming of the TV survival show Dropped.

A helicopter which was being used for filming an MTV reality show has crashed into a reservoir in Argentina killing the pilot and a technician.

The 22-page document promises policies for the "millions, not millionaires" and to plug tax-avoidance loopholes. The party, formed in 1920, is fielding nine candidates, including six who are standing against incumbent Labour MPs. One of the candidates is 18-year-old Laura-Jane Rossington, who is believed to be the youngest in England. 'Good reception' The party, which has around 1,000 members, also backs leaving the European Union which it claims gives power to big business, and quitting NATO, which it says is the "greatest threat to world peace". General Secretary Robert Griffiths, who is standing in Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, told reporters in Westminster that voters on the doorstep supported many of the party's policies. "Most of the time we are receiving a very good reception," he said. "Anti-Communist feelings are nowhere near as widespread as the general impression is given. "The other party leaders can repeat their promises to clamp down on the tax dodgers until flying pigs come home, but they refuse to abolish the tax-haven status of some 28 British overseas territories and dependencies, from Jersey and the Isle of Man to Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands." Mr Griffiths would like to see a Tobin tax-style levy on financial transactions in the City, meaning a tax on all payments from one currency to another. He would also like to see a "modest" 2% wealth tax on the richest one-tenth of the population. Miss Rossington, an A-level student standing in Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, called for an end to minimum wage "discrimination" against young people and "real equality" for women. Mr Griffiths said his party would not want to jeopardise a Labour victory, but its candidates were standing in areas where there were active Communist members and supporters. The candidates for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney are: The candidates for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport are:

The Championship side are yet to make a signing this summer, with Steven Taylor the only player to have announced he is leaving the club. "I would like to have the squad ready and start working with them on 1 July," he told BBC Radio Newcastle. "With modern agents and the Euros, a lot have gone and aren't working." Benitez signed a new three-year contract to stay in charge, despite the Magpies suffering relegation from the Premier League last season. The 56-year-old said the club were close to three or four deals, for players coming in and going out, but would have to be patient. "I'm surprised that it's summer and the transfer window is open and some technical directors are away," the Spaniard added. "For me as a manager it's too late to get the squad that I want but in reality [for transfers] it is too early."

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez says it has been "impossible" to sign players before the start of pre-season friendlies because of Euro 2016.

A £500,000 joint project by the University of South Wales (USW) and the Welsh Perry & Cider Society is looking at the heritage of orchards and cider-making in Wales. It hopes to create an online catalogue of cider and perry fruit in Wales using their DNA traits. The Welsh Perry & Cider Society said the results were "incredibly exciting". The two-year project, which features a number of studies and aims, has tested leaves at the society's museum orchard, outside Llanarth, near Abergavenny, as well as other sites across the country. Samples have been sent and compared to those recorded at the National Fruit Collection in Brogdale, Kent. DNA results confirmed 12 cider apples and nine perry pears within the museum orchard are Welsh, with a further 22 unique varieties identified from elsewhere in Wales not registered with Brogdale's database and which are believed to be found only in Wales. "It's incredibly exciting for us," said Jayne Hunt, heritage project manager at the Welsh Perry & Cider Society, based in Crumlin, Caerphilly county. "The project has unearthed far more unique varieties than we ever expected - fruit that is probably found only in Wales, and which has never been recorded. "For cider lovers with a patriotic streak, it could be just what they're looking for." The society will also test trees for their "cider and perry potential" at its annual festival at Caldicot Castle later this month. As part of the wider project, the researchers are also working with 14 community groups in Wales to regenerate old orchards and to possibly identify areas to plant new trees, as well as providing training, event support, and installation of interpretation details. The university's George Ewart Evans Centre for Storytelling (GEECS) is also collecting stories about the modern cider-making tradition in Wales, which will be available online and through national archives, such as the People's Collection Wales. "The stories we have reveal the people behind the tradition. We have collected stories about the many ways people's lives are connected to their orchards and to the history of cider making in Wales," said Dr Emily Underwood-Lee, who is leading the GEECS project. "I hope that we'll have preserved lots of unique apple varieties and be better able to understand them both scientifically and culturally. "I hope it will be funny, entertaining and something that people can really enjoy." The project has been funded by a National Lottery grant. New laws voted in on Wednesday will open the market to foreign oil firms. As a result, state-owned energy group Pemex will lose the monopoly it has held since nationalisation. President Enrique Pena Nieto has made energy reform the cornerstone of his administration. He expects the changes will boost production back to 2004 levels by 2025. Crumbling infrastructure, bureaucracy and corruption have pared Mexican production from 3.6 million barrels a day in 2004 to just 2.5 million. The ending of Pemex's monopoly required changes to the constitution, signed into law last year. The reforms are expected to attract billions of dollars of investment into the country, the world's ninth-largest oil producer. They also authorise private production of electricity. President Pena Nieto tweeted: "A more competitive and prosperous Mexico. They have laid the foundation for a new era of development and prosperity for Mexican families." Pemex, known officially as Petroleos Mexicanos, will have to compete with international giants such as Chevron, Exxon Mobile and BP. Bidders are expected to start signing new contracts with the Mexican state from 2015 to explore, produce and refine oil. Until now, they were only allowed to hold service contracts with Pemex. The break-up of the oil industry is the climax of years of attempts to liberalise the Mexican economy that began in the early 1980s. In July, new legislation forced the break-up of billionaire Carlos Slim's America Movil empire, Latin America's biggest telecoms company. The most controversial part of the energy reforms is a provision to transfer about one-third of the state oil company's pension debts to the federal government's balance sheet. Opponents to the bill said taxpayers would have to bear the cost of years of mismanagement of the pension fund. To make their point, they carried a life-size picture of the late President Lazaro Cardenas, who nationalised the industry in 1938, on to the floor of the Senate. The Waterford runner was due to compete in the first of tonight's semi-finals in London but he is unable to take his place because of a vomiting bug. He narrowly qualified for the semi-finals after Kyron McMaster of the British Virgin Islands was disqualified from his heat on Sunday. Barr, 25, was hoping to improve on his fourth place finish at Rio 2016. "I'm gutted to have to withdraw from today's semi final," Barr said. "I wasn't feeling great yesterday evening and later in the night I was hit with a bad bout of gastroenteritis." "My whole year has been focused on the World Championships. The support yesterday was just brilliant and to not be able to go out and compete today for Ireland is beyond disappointing." About 260 signs were given to the Friends of Ceredigion Museum in order to raise money for renovations. The road signs were replaced as part of an £800,000 scheme to improve the look of the Welsh seaside town. The value of the "unique" signs has not yet been confirmed but they will go under the hammer from 19:00 GMT at The Coliseum in Aberystwyth. Mona Morris, president of the Friends of Ceredigion Museum, said: "We've already had lots of interest in the road signs from local people and businesses. "The signs are a unique bit of history that really evoke a sense of place." The auctioneer on the night will be local hotelier, Geraint Hughes. "It'll be fun to wield the hammer again," the former auctioneer said. The Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) also criticised the charity's trustees and the Charity Commission. Kids Company closed in August after questions over management and finances. Camila Batmanghelidjh, who founded the charity in 1996, said the report "is a product of bias and rumour". She added: "The only place we got a rigorous fact-based investigation was with the police." Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, who chairs the committee, said its inquiry had heard "an extraordinary catalogue of failures of governance and control at every level - trustees, auditors, inspectors, regulators and government". He did say that the committee had heard positive accounts of valuable work by Kids Company, and of "inspired and motivated employees", which made the trustee board's failure to ensure the charity's sustainability "all the more tragic". He added: "There has been a litany of allegations of inappropriate 'therapies', lavish spending and abuse of power within the organisation, and we hope that this episode highlights to all trustees that protecting the reputation of an organisation is a core element of good governance." The charity supported deprived and vulnerable inner-city children and young people in London, Liverpool and Bristol. By Lucy Manning, BBC News special correspondent The report spares no one: Camila Batmanghelidjh, the trustees, government ministers, the auditors and regulators are all criticised. The heaviest criticism is for the trustees led by the BBC's Alan Yentob. He's described as someone who condoned excessive spending and lacked proper attention to his duties. The BBC is also accused of poor leadership for failing to take action against him when he tried to make suggestions about the BBC's reporting of Kids Company. The report also makes clear that even without the police investigation that triggered the charity's collapse, it would have been unlikely to survive due to the trustees' financial negligence and Ms Batmanghelidjh's reluctance to restructure the organisation she founded. Overall it makes for very sorry reading about a charity doing some good work let down by those who ran it, those who were supposed to oversee it and those who kept funding it without making proper checks. Mr Yentob and Ms Batmanghelidjh kept insisting there had been no financial mismanagement. This report makes clear there certainly was. While the committee's report said ultimate responsibility for the charity's closure was on its "negligent" trustees, including the BBC's former creative director Alan Yentob who was chairman of Kids Company's trustees, the government and regulators must also learn lessons from its failure. The PACAC report criticises the government, saying it is unacceptable that successive ministers appear to have released funds to the charity "on the basis of little more than their relationship with a charismatic leader, small-scale studies and anecdotes, and no more than two visits made by [Oliver] Letwin more than 10 years previously". The committee says such an approach was an unjustifiable way to conduct government business and to handle public money. Ms Batmanghelidjh and Kids Company "appeared to captivate some of the most senior political figures in the land, by the force of the chief executive's personality as much as by the spin and profile she generated for the charity", the report added. The committee also highlights "extraordinary accounts of luxury items and holidays or spa days being lavished on 'Camila's kids', a favoured group of clients". Conservative minister Oliver Letwin over-ruled civil service objections to pay a £3m grant to Kids Company just days before it collapsed. He appeared before the PACAC committee in November to discuss the charity's closure. Speaking after the committee's report was complied, he said: "As I said to the committee I believed it was the right thing to do to give this charity one last chance to restructure. "We will of course pay careful attention to this report and in light of what we now know about Kids Company we will be reviewing our grant-giving process. "Charities across the country do important work transforming people's lives and strengthening communities, and they are well placed to deliver publicly funded services. "By updating the process by which grants are awarded we will make sure the most stable, most effective charities receive taxpayer funds." June 2015: Concerns raised by the Cabinet Office about Kids Company's request for a £3m government grant, but ministers approve the funding July 2015: Ms Batmanghelidjh steps down, denying the charity has been mismanaged. The Met Police launches an investigation into allegations of failings and abuse linked to the charity. August 2015: Ministers say they want to recover the government grant. The charity closes. Ms Batmanghelidjh tells the BBC that Kids Company was subjected to a "trial by media" October 2015: Ms Batmanghelidjh and Kids Company chairman Alan Yentob (at the time also a BBC executive) appear before the Commons Public Administration Committee and again deny the charity was badly run. The National Audit Office says the charity received at least £46m of public money despite repeated concerns over its management January 2016: The Met Police says it has concluded its investigation into allegations against the charity, and concluded there is no evidence of criminality What went wrong? The report also said the charity's board of trustees had failed to protect the long-term needs of beneficiaries of the charity, which had centres in London, Liverpool and Bristol. It said: "Throughout Kids Company's 19-year existence, the board ignored repeated warnings about the charity's financial health, failed to provide robust evidence of the charity's outcomes, and did not adequately address increasing concerns about the suitability of its programmes and behaviours of its staff. "The trustees' negligent financial management rendered the charity unable to survive the predicted reduction in donations following the emergence of allegations of sexual abuse. Its closure left many vulnerable beneficiaries without an important source of support." The Metropolitan Police last week announced it had found no evidence of criminality after investigating allegations of physical and sexual abuse at the charity. Kids Company had always denied the claims. And the PACAC also called on the Charity Commission to raise its profile so as to provide a more visible outlet for people to raise concerns with. "A number of witnesses who had grave concerns about the charity did not alert the Charity Commission: the commission projects too limited a public profile to provide much reassurance about charities and their regulation, and to attract complaints," the report said. Camilla's Kids Company: The Inside Story will be broadcast on BBC One at 21:00 GMT on Wednesday 3 February, and on BBC Two in Wales. 8 July 2017 Last updated at 10:53 BST Newsround's been chatting to Andy fans at Wimbledon about watching him play, why he's so great and whether he's got what it takes to win! The Millers blew Phil Brown's men away in the opening 45 minutes in South Yorkshire, with Joe Newell adding a fine goal to Moore's treble and Ryan Williams notching after the break. Moore got the ball rolling in the 15th minute when he slotted home from Williams' pass and then 60 seconds later he added his second, tapping home Jamie Proctor's pinpoint cross. Newell made it 3-0 after only 23 minutes with the best goal of the lot as he fired beautifully into the far corner and then Moore became the first man to score a competitive hat-trick at the New York Stadium when he converted from 12 yards in first-half injury time. Williams made it five just before the hour when another brilliant team move left him with the simplest of tap-ins. The Millers threatened to equal their record home win but David Ball was denied by a good save from Mark Oxley while Southend were denied a late consolation when Marc-Antoine Fortune hit the post with the goal gaping.

Peasgood, 20, won his first men's world PT4 event, finishing the near-25km course in one hour, two minutes and 33 seconds in Penrith. Lewis, 33, beat Australia's Brant Garvey by more than three minutes to take the PT2 title. Joe Townsend, 28, won silver in the men's PT1 event, and Clare Cunningham, 38, was second in the women's PT4 race. The course consisted of a 750m swim, a 19.8km bike ride and a 5km run. "I'm over the moon with today's result. Thank you Penrith for a cracking World Paratriathlon event," said Peasgood. Lewis was pleased with the win that increases his chances of going to the Rio Paralympics in September. He wrote: "Gold in Penrith but the road to Rio is far from over. "I may have won this battle but I need to prepare to win the war. Onwards and upwards." John Gerrard Wynne, 61, of Exmouth, Devon, was walking with his 26-year-old daughter on 3,000ft (100m) Tryfan when he fell on Sunday. They were descending down the South Gully when they decided to turn around but Mr Wynne slipped. He is believed to have fallen more than 200ft (60m). He was airlifted to hospital in Bangor where he died. Chris Lloyd, of Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team, said the pair had been walking in the area over the weekend when they took a wrong path down the mountain. An inquest is expected to be held into Mr Wynne's death. The eight-part series, Taboo, will star Hardy as a rogue adventurer who sets out to build a shipping empire, pitting him against the East India Company. Inception star Hardy, who wrote the original story with his father Chips, called it "a flagship British drama for this generation". Gladiator director Sir Ridley said Hardy's character "will become iconic". "This is a period in British history where the rising power of the Empire seeped into every dark corner," said Sir Ridley, best known for cult films such as Alien and Blade Runner, who will produce the drama. The drama, set in 1813, will reunite Hardy with screenwriter Steven Knight, with whom he worked on the forthcoming film Locke. Knight is also the writer of BBC gangster drama Peaky Blinders, which Hardy is joining for its second series this autumn. Knight described the lead character, James Delaney, as "a deeply flawed and deeply troubled human being". "His greatest struggle will be against the East India Company which, throughout the 19th Century, was the equivalent of the CIA, the NSA and the biggest, baddest multinational corporation on earth, all rolled into one self-righteous, religiously motivated monolith." Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC drama commissioning, said he was "thrilled" to see Hardy and Knight reunited on the series. "This is a major and ambitious undertaking for the BBC, reinforcing our commitment to be the best home for creative talent." Tom Hardy's company, Hardy Son & Baker, will co-produce the series with Scott's Scott Free London. Shooting will begin in early 2015. Hardy, who became a well-known name following his villainous turn as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, can shortly be seen in James Gandolfini's final film The Drop. He is also lined up to play the lead in the forthcoming Mad Max reboot, as well as playing Elton John in the Rocketman biopic. The actor is reported to be starring in the National Theatre's film adaptation of London Road, alongside Broadchurch star Olivia Colman. London Road was inspired by the murders committed by Ipswich serial killer Steve Wright, who was found guilty in February 2008 of murdering five women working as prostitutes. Faryadi Sarwar Zardad was convicted in 2005 and given 20 years in prison in a landmark trial under a UN torture law. He had fled to the UK in 1998 on false papers and claimed asylum but was eventually tracked down by the BBC. About 100 supporters gathered at Kabul airport to greet Zardad, a former leading Hezb-e-Islami commander. Rights campaigners queried his early release. Zardad was whisked away on arrival at Kabul airport in a fleet of vehicles, Pajhwok news reported. Human rights groups said his many victims would find the hero's welcome painful to watch. Zardad fled Afghanistan after the Taliban took power in 1996 and sought political asylum in the UK under a false identity. He was tracked down by a BBC investigation in 2000 and arrested in 2003. As there was no request from the Afghan authorities, Britain decided to proceed with a prosecution. His trial heard how hundreds of thousands of people trying to flee to safety from Kabul were at his mercy. He had controlled the checkpoint on the Kabul-Nangarhar highway between 1991 and 1996 - the only road between Kabul and Pakistan during some of the heaviest fighting in the civil war. Sentencing, the judge said he had presided over a brutal regime of terror and his crimes had been so serious that they transcended national boundaries. It was thought to be the first time torture offences committed in one country had been prosecuted in another. The British embassy in Kabul refused to comment on his case but said foreign nationals serving custodial sentences in the UK were routinely considered for deportation. Zardad is currently in the custody of Afghanistan's NDS intelligence agency. Correspondents say there are no plans to bring a case against him. Earlier this year the Afghan government signed a peace deal with Hezb-e Islami. After the Taliban, who were ousted from power in 2001, it remains the country's second largest militant group. Asante, 30, who plays for Swedish side Rosengard, has 70 caps and featured at two World Cups and three European Championships. Despite a call-up a year ago, her last appearance for England came in 2014. "I don't know why. That's for him to answer. We haven't really had much contact since last year, so that's difficult," Asante told BBC Sport. "You want to maintain some level of communication but so far that hasn't happened." The Football Association have said they do not comment on individual selection cases, but also confirmed that Asante featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly for England before last year's World Cup. England strikers Lianne Sanderson and Jodie Taylor, who play in the United States, are regularly picked by Sampson but Asante feels playing abroad may have affected her chances of a recall. The former Arsenal and Chelsea defender also says that no-one from the England coaching staff has ever been out to Sweden to see her in action. "Maybe it's a little bit hard for them to see me play often or even take the time to come out and watch me," she said. "But if you want to see good talented players play for your national team, then you will try to make the effort to see English players playing all over the world." Asante, who can either play in defence or in central midfield, previously spent 10 years at Arsenal where she won 12 trophies with the club, eventually moving to play in the US in 2009 and then Sweden in 2012. FC Rosengard, where Asante has played since 2013, have qualified for this season's Champions League quarter-finals. Among her team-mates in Sweden is five-time Fifa player of the year Marta. Despite her exclusion from the national set-up, Asante says that she has no immediate plans to return to England. "I'd never say never, but right now I'm really enjoying my time in Scandinavia," she said. "But we'll see what the future holds. "It's always an honour to play for your country and if I get the opportunity again, I would obviously jump at the chance. "At the moment that isn't the case but I'm just going to keep working hard at my club." Lindsay Hoyle said it was damaging democracy and could deter women from certain backgrounds from becoming MPs. He called on social media companies to take swifter action to remove offensive posts or face legislation. And he said Parliament had set up a team to monitor online abuse and support those being targeted. He was giving evidence to the Home Affairs Committee, which is investigating hate crime in the wake of the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox by a constituent in June last year. Mr Hoyle said more MPs were reporting threats of physical violence against them and their staff in their constituencies - and he would shortly be publishing the results of a survey investigating the problem. Eric Hepburn, Parliament's director of security, said MPs had been given Home Office advice on how to protect themselves - but Conservative committee member Nusrat Ghani told him it did not reflect the work of a constituency MP. On social media abuse, Mr Hepburn said: "We certainly work very closely with the social media companies, and we have flagged up to them, and we have advised members as well to flag up to them, content which they consider to be unacceptable and which should be taken down." Asked by Ms Ghani if social media companies' failure to remove posts quickly enough was undermining the safety of parliamentarians, Mr Hepburn replied: "I think that's a conclusion that I could probably draw, yes." Mr Hoyle, who chairs Parliament's consultative panel on security, said the situation "undermines democracy" because politicians had to be available to the public and did not want to become "virtual" MPs. He said that when MPs spoke in emotive debates in the Commons, such as on badger culls or abortion, it often sparked death threats and other threats of violence. And research suggested women MPs - especially Jewish and Muslim ones - received more threats than men and were particular targets of abuse from both the "far right" and the "extreme left". Mr Hoyle said Parliament was working with them to help them deal with threats and get them removed. Parliament also had members of staff dedicated to monitoring the response to controversial and emotionally charged debates on social media. "General banter is fine. But it's about the level. Robust debate is good, but when that says, 'I'm going to come round and kill you,' that is more serious," said the deputy Speaker. He said he would like to see an industry-wide code of conduct to prevent abuse, which "ideally" would prevent serious threats being published in the first place. But at the very least, he added, he wanted social media companies to take down posts more quickly, warning them that they could face legislation if they did not take the problem more seriously. The group were found during an army operation in a remote northern region, in which at least 12 rebel fighters were captured. The ELN has been fighting the government for more than five decades. Proposed peace talks broke down in October when the rebels failed to release a hostage they were holding. A fresh attempt to arrange talks is due to take place in neighbouring Ecuador this month. According to the ministry the operation took place in the municipality of Montecristo in the northern department of Bolivar. Who are the ELN ELN takeover The minors have been placed under state protection and a ministry statement said the ELN "continued to infringe international human rights with the continued forced recruitment of under age recruits" The ministry said a cache of weapons and field communication equipment had also been captured. On Saturday, the ELN released a businessman it had been holding hostage since March . Octavio Figueroa was freed close to the Venezuelan border, after an undisclosed ransom was paid. The charity has teamed up with Intel to equip patients with smartwatches which record continous data about them. The organisations carried out tests earlier in the year and now plan to release an app to help doctors study the effects of different medications. The effort has been given a cautious welcome by other researchers. The actor Michael J Fox created his New York-based foundation in 2000 after being diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disorder. It is believed that Parkinson's is brought on by a mixture of genetic and environmental factors, but the exact cause is still unknown. Its symptoms can include tremors and other uncontrollable movements, impaired balance and co-ordination, stiffness, slowness of movement, loss of smell, a decline in intellectual functioning, and speech and swallowing problems. It is estimated to affect about five million people worldwide and usually, but not always, occurs in old age. The link-up with Intel came about through the tech firm's former chief executive Andy Grove, who serves as a senior advisor to the foundation and has been diagnosed with Parkinson's himself. "This opportunity really will allow us the chance to uncover novel breakthroughs in Parkinson's disease by truly understanding how people are living with the disease today, how are they responding to treatments, what are their unmet needs," said Todd Sherer, chief executive of the foundation. The wearables study is intended to provide researchers with more accurate data than can be obtained via traditional, subjective methods. A preliminary test was funded by the two organisations earlier this year that equipped 16 Parkinson's patients and nine control volunteers with the devices for four days. The watches allowed more than 300 data points to be recorded every second, translating to one gigabyte of data per patient a day. The information was then uploaded to Intel's system by a smartphone carried by those involved. Over the period the participants kept paper-and-pen diaries and attended two clinical visits where they engaged in tests designed for the disease. Intel data scientists are still processing the findings. In addition to checking that the wearable tech's records correlate with those taken by the parties involved, they aim to develop algorithms that will allow body movement symptoms and sleep patterns to be automatically measured and made available for review in real time. The next phase of the study involves releasing an app that allows patients to record how they are feeling and to report their medication intake, to help scientists measure the efficacy of the drugs and inform medics when they are deciding prescriptions. This stage of the trial will be carried out in Boston, New York and Israel. "We're looking for the accelerometer data," Ronald Kasabian, general manager of big data solutions at Intel, told the BBC. "We want to be able to understand gait, fluidity of movement, tremors. "The researchers are dying for the insight. The ability to see what is happening to the patient on a minute-by-minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year basis - the tremors, the sleep habits - to see that in real time will be one of the most eye-opening opportunities." Intel said it would encrypt and anonymise the data to safeguard patients' privacy. It added that the intention was to eventually open up the platform to other research centres and wearable devices. Parkinson's UK welcomed the development, but cautioned that it was too soon to know how useful the results would be. "The potential of using new technology to aid clinical decision making and help people with Parkinson's to get the right treatment is exciting," Suma Surendranath, professional engagement manger at the charity, told the BBC. "However, it would be crucial that any device should demonstrate its effectiveness in robust clinical trials before becoming more widely available. "New technology that has been proven to accurately represent the complexity of symptoms of people with Parkinson's could be a very useful addition to the tools currently available to professionals." The Michael J Fox Foundation acknowledged that the study was still at an early stage, but it said it still believed a sensor-driven platform could be delivered within "years and not decades" to allow doctors to better tailor treatments to each patient. "What happens is that you have 'on-off' periods as a patient," explained Sohini Chowdhury, senior vice president of research partnerships at MJFF. "When you're 'on', your medication is working, you're able to move, you're able to do the tasks you want. When you are 'off' you are basically frozen, you can't do anything. "The question treating physicians tackle with is: 'Are we giving you the optimal dose to be able to get you the right amount of on-off time during the day?" Several other major tech firms have also announced plans to become more involved with health tracking tech. In May, Samsung unveiled Simband, a prototype wristband that can be fitted with third-party sensors to gather a range of data about the wearer's body that would then be shared with a platform called Sami (Samsung Architecture Multimedia Interactions). Then in June, Apple unveiled HealthKit - an app for its forthcoming iOS 8 operating system that is designed to gather data from a wide range of third-party sensors, which can contact health professionals if it notices irregularities. Later the same month, Google announced Google Fit, the Android-maker's own software to amass health-related data from other services and devices. Known as Plato, the concept was chosen by an expert panel as the standout candidate in a competition run by the European Space Agency (Esa). The Paris-based organisation's Science Policy Committee will now have the final say at its meeting in February. If given the go-ahead, Plato would probably not launch until 2024. The name of the mission is an acronym that stands for PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars. It is not really one telescope but rather a suite of 34 telescopes mounted on a single satellite. The intention is for Plato to sweep about half the sky, to investigate some of its brightest and nearest stars. It would monitor these stars for the tell-tale tiny dips in light that occur when planets move across their faces. Critically, Plato would be tuned to seek out rocky worlds orbiting in the "habitable zone" - the region around a star where water can keep a liquid state. A fundamental part of its quest would be to perform an intricate study of the host stars themselves, using their pulsations to probe their structure and properties. Such observations, referred to as asteroseismology, would provide key, complementary information for the proper characterisation of the rocky worlds. Although other missions have pursued this kind of science before, Plato is described as a major leap forward in capability. The hope is that it could find really promising targets for follow-up by the big ground-based telescopes due to come online in the next decade. These facilities, which will have primary mirrors measuring tens of metres in diameter, should be able to examine the atmospheres of distant worlds for possible life signatures. The James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to Hubble, due for launch at the end of this decade, would likely still be working in 2024/2025 and could also pursue Plato's discoveries. Plato has spent the past two years in an assessment process that has pitted it against four other concepts. These alternatives included another planet observatory (Echo), an asteroid mission (Marco Polo-R), an X-ray telescope (Loft), and a satellite that would perform a precise test of Einstein's equivalence principle (STE-Quest). All were vying for the third medium-class launch opportunity to be offered under Esa's so-called Cosmic Vision programme, which defines the organisation's space science priorities. "Medium class" means a cost to the agency of no more than about 600m euros (£490m; $820m), although following the practice of previous missions this does not include the budget for instruments. These are usually provided directly by Esa's national member agencies and mean the final price tag can approach one billion euros. All the competitors were invited to make a final presentation to representatives of the scientific community, industry, and national member agencies on 21 January. This was followed by closed-session discussions by two working groups, which rated the quality of the missions. Their recommendations were then passed to Esa's top space science advisory committee (SSAC) to make an evaluation. It proposed that Plato be carried forward as the mission of choice, and this preference has now been sent on by Esa's executive to the SPC. The committee has the prerogative of "selection" at its 19 February gathering, and could still reject Plato - but this would be a major surprise. The final green light is known as "adoption" in Esa-speak. This is unlikely to happen until 2015, after member states have made firm commitments on their participation and an industrial team to build the satellite has been identified. One big industrial contribution from the UK seems assured. This would be the camera detector at the base of the telescope suite. Supplied by e2v in Chelmsford, the array of more than 130 charge-coupled devices would be 0.9 square metres in area. This would make it the largest camera system ever flown in space, and twice the size of the array e2v produced for Esa's recently launched Gaia telescope. The first two medium-class missions to be selected under Esa's Cosmic Vision programme in 2011 were Solar Orbiter, a space telescope to study the Sun, to launch in 2017; and Euclid, a telescope to investigate "dark energy", to fly in 2020. The American space agency (Nasa) plans a similar mission to Plato called Tess (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) in 2017, but the specifications mean that its rocky worlds will probably be in closer orbits around lower-mass stars than the discoveries made by the European project. In other words, the Plato planets are more likely to be in the habitable zones of more Sun-like stars. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The Welsh former world champion, 28, has withdrawn from this weekend's race in Hamburg. She expects to miss Edmonton on 28-29 July and Montreal on 5-6 August. Stanford tweeted: "Sad to say a niggling Achilles means I won't be racing this weekend. Hopefully see you all at Stockholm instead." Stockholm on 26-27 August is the penultimate World Series event before the Grand Final in Rotterdam on 16 September. Stanford, who won the world title in 2013 and came fourth at the 2016 Rio Olympics, is 19th in the WTS rankings after four of the season's nine races. She tore her Achilles tendon in November 2016, missing the opening two rounds before winning the Chengdu Triathlon World Cup on her return in May. Stanford finished seventh and 11th respectively in the WTS races in Yokohama and Leeds, but withdrew from the European Championships in Switzerland in June because of illness. The Dane opened the scoring early on from Zakarya Bergdich's cut back before Chris Burke levelled for the home side. Angolan Igor Vetokele then finished off a well-worked counter-attack to put Jose Riga's side ahead at half-time. Makienok headed in to make it 3-1, then Jonson Clarke-Harris blazed over a Millers penalty before Ademola Lookman rounded off victory in added time. Media playback is not supported on this device The away side had not won a Championship game since beating Birmingham City on 21 November but took the lead after just four minutes when Bergdich cut the ball back for Makienok to smash in. They did not stay in front long as Rotherham's Burke scored his first goal for the club on his home debut, receiving Danny Ward's pass before slotting under goalkeeper Stephen Henderson. After Grant Ward had shot wide for the Millers, Johann Berg Gudmundsson crossed for Vetokele, who turned in from close range after a rapid counter-attack. Henderson then produced a diving save to keep out Danny Ward's left footed strike before Makienok met Gudmundssen's pinpoint delivery to give Charlton a two-goal lead. Rotherham had a chance to get back into the game when Clarke-Harris was brought down by Jorge Teixeira, but the striker smashed his attempt over. Substitute Lookman slid in a fourth to complete a hat-trick of Gudmundssen assists. It gave Riga his first win first since rejoining on 14 January, leaving the Addicks 23rd, just a point behind 21st-placed Rotherham. Match ends, Rotherham United 1, Charlton Athletic 4.

More than 300 solo runners, 111 relay teams of three, and 50 of their four-legged rivals took part in the 31st event around Llanwrtyd Wells. Betty Gordon, riding Next in Line Grangeway, was home in 2hr 8m 37s, just over 17 minutes ahead of the first runner, Charlie Pearson. The only occasions when men have won were in 2004 and 2007. The race takes competitors through farm tracks, footpaths, open moorland and tarmac and attracts thousands of spectators. By Friday night 249 runners had registered, and by early Saturday morning there were 100 relay teams of three and 50 horses, although more signed up shortly before the race began. Horses are required to go through three vetting stations - at the start, the midway point and the end of the race and if they fail any checks they are disqualified. The race was affected by heavy showers, and Tony Egan, who organised it for the first time, said that had made the ground "soft and squidgy in places". But he said he had spoken to many competitors, who told him how much they enjoyed the challenge. "They said they had a great time. It's good to see how popular it is," he added. The first woman home was Jenny Horne, of Aberystwyth, in 2hr 46m 41s. The prizes were presented by Alan Hope of the Monster Raving Loony Party, a week before the town stages the Screaming Lord Sutch Official Monster Raving Loony Music Party, in memory of the man who founded the political party. The winner received a cup and 1,000 guineas - although Huw Lobb won £25,000 in 2004 after becoming the first human victor. And for Vera Sommerfeld of Lethbridge, Canada, this year brings a special reason to pop the champagne corks. At the age of 96, Ms Sommerfeld has just become a great-great-great-grandmother. Baby Callie, born in October, is the newest addition to a family with six living generations of women. The delighted matriarch told Canada's CBC News: "It's pretty wonderful, really." "I just couldn't wait for this baby to be born, because it was going to be my sixth generation, and I waited for it for a long time." Four of the women live in Lethbridge, a city in the province of Alberta, and all five (plus baby) catch up around once a month. Ms Sommerfeld is a huge fan of the latest arrival, saying she adored her from the start. "I couldn't even describe it. She's just such a beautiful girl. I love her so much," she said. Two-month old Callie's mother, Alisa Marsh, is 20. Her grandmother Amanda Cormier is 39, and Grace Couturier is a great-grandmother at 59. Gwen Shaw, the baby's great-great-grandmother, is a sprightly 75. The Guinness World Record for the most generations in an unbroken line is seven, but to reach six is still extremely rare - and rarer still when they are all women. Ms Cormier told the BBC she felt very young to be a grandmother at 39, "but now that she's here, I wouldn't change a thing!" New mother Ms Marsh said having so many maternal figures around has been "wonderful". "They visit all the time!" she laughed. Ms Marsh married her husband Logan on 27 June 2015, and says her great-great-grandmother Ms Sommerfeld quickly started asking "when we were giving her her sixth generation!" The 20-year-old told the BBC she hopes to have more children in the fullness of time. Of course, she hopes her many grandmothers will be around to meet them too. Ms Shaw puts the family's longevity down to good genes. But after almost a century on earth, Ms Sommerfeld credits her drink of choice - rum and soda. "She drinks them every day," Ms Marsh confirmed. Great-grandmother Grace Couturier told the local Lethbridge Herald: "The one thing my grandmother [Ms Sommerfeld] has told us has kept her alive this long is waiting for that baby to be born. Now she's going to stay alive because the baby is here. "It's amazing. It's absolutely amazing that my grandmother is still here to see my granddaughter have her first."

Prince William is beginning two weeks' paternity leave from his job as an air ambulance helicopter pilot. The Queen first met her new great-granddaughter this week when she visited Kensington Palace. Princess Charlotte's brother George was with the duke and duchess for the journey to Anmer Hall, where the couple will adjust to life with two young children. The duke and duchess are expected to be based at Anmer Hall - on the Queen's Sandringham estate - for the next few years as they raise Princess Charlotte and Prince George, who is almost two, with the help of a full-time nanny. The couple recently undertook major renovations of the mansion, including a new roof and kitchen and the creation of a garden room and quarters for the nanny. The majority of the renovation costs were paid for by the Royal Family from private funds. Princess Charlotte was born on Saturday at London's St Mary's Hospital, weighing 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg). Princess Charlotte's grandfather, the Prince of Wales, was among the early visitors to meet the new fourth in line to the throne - as were the duchess's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and sister Pippa. The crown-of-thorns starfish has ravaged Australia's Great Barrier Reef by smothering and eating coral tissue. Researchers believe the pest could be lured for removal by fabricating the chemicals it uses to attract a mate. The study unmasks how the species congregates in huge swarms, the Australian and Japanese team said. The research, published in the journal Nature, studied the genomes of starfish gathered from the two nations. It decoded the pheromones responsible for drawing starfish together so they could reproduce, said lead researcher Prof Bernard Degnan. "We were able to use that approach to understand the chemistry that the starfish use to communicate with each other," he told the BBC. "The next step is to use that information to fabricate bait based on these protein sequences." He said the bait could "trick" the species into forming clusters, allowing them to be removed. He suggested commercial fishers could even use the technique, perhaps for a bounty. "Coral bleaching has taken a lot of limelight over the last year, but crown-of-thorns cause as much destruction," said Prof Degnan, a marine and molecular biologist. The study included researchers from the University of Queensland, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology and the University of the Sunshine Coast. It follows other attempts to control the species, including the use of divers, robots and sea snails. Olivier Giroud has overcome the ankle problem he suffered last week, but Theo Walcott is out with a calf injury. Burnley trio Dean Marney, Ashley Barnes and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are expected to be available after missing the midweek FA Cup win through injury. However, winger Scott Arfield looks like missing a third successive game with a hamstring problem. Simon Brotherton: "Arsenal returned to winning ways in the league at Swansea last weekend and will be confident of adding another three points on Sunday afternoon. "Burnley sit comfortably in mid-table at the moment and have been in decent form, winning three of their last four league games - but their success has been built almost entirely on results at Turf Moor. "The difference between Burnley's home and away form is stark. Only the top two sides in the table, Chelsea and Tottenham, have won more games at home than the Clarets' total of eight. "But on the road it's been a very different story with just a single point from a possible 27 so far and only three goals scored." Twitter: @SimonBrotherton Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "With the number of games we have it's important that we have all our experienced players back and that everybody is focused to do well. "We're going through a moment of truth now - January until May is five months to go. You want ideally all your players with big experience back in your squad." Burnley will be competitive and difficult to play against at Emirates Stadium, but they just don't make enough chances to win games on the road. Prediction: 2-0 Lawro's full predictions v actor James McAvoy Head-to-head Arsenal Burnley SAM (Sports Analytics Machine) is a super-computer created by @ProfIanMcHale at the University of Salford that is used to predict the outcome of football matches. The extra calories could lead to gaining 2lb a week (900g), the survey of 2,042 people suggested. About half (51%) of those who drank alcohol said crossing the threshold had made them binge on fast food. But experts warned the study showed trends and not "hard science". Slimming World, which commissioned the research from YouGov, said 50% of the people who said drinking impacted their food choices had also cancelled physical activities the day after drinking more than 9.3 units, equivalent to slightly less than four pints of beer. They had opted for bed, TV and using social media to stave off the hangover - along with another extra 2,051 calories, on top of their usual diet, the next day. On the night, they had consumed about 2,829 calories extra in food and 1,476 extra calories in drink, the survey said. And the following day, the drinkers ate on average 2,051 extra calories. Dr Jacquie Lavin, head of nutrition and research at Slimming World, said alcohol loosened self-control. She said people who had consumed more alcohol tended to eat at a greater rate and for longer. "Alcohol makes the food even more rewarding. It tastes good and feels even better than it would do normally," said Dr Lavin. She called for the government to launch a communications campaign to inform people of the impact of drinking on weight gain, and for calories to be included on alcohol labels. Bridget Benelam, nutritionist at the British Nutrition Foundation, said: "The survey is very interesting. But it is a survey and not a scientific study. "It is useful as well as the hard science, to be aware of what people are thinking in the real world, to get messages out there." She said the survey confirmed a link between alcohol and obesity. Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England (PHE), said: "The report raises awareness of the high calorie content in alcoholic drinks. "Excess calorie intake can lead to being overweight and obese which increases your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers." She said PHE's campaign, Change4Life, encouraged people to "eat well, move more, live longer" and to manage their alcohol and food intake. Luciana Berger, shadow health minister, said the survey showed more needed to be done to raise awareness about the "ways excessive alcohol impacted on weight". She added: "With health problems associated with being overweight or obese costing the NHS more than £5bn every year, it is time the government took the bold action that the scale of this threat to our public health demands." The 27-year-old footballer told French TV that accusations against him about claims involving his France team-mate Mathieu Valbuena were "persecution". He said his name was being dragged through mud as if he was a criminal. Mr Benzema is under investigation and faces up to five years in jail if found to have taken part in blackmail. "Hopefully it will end well, we will all be OK," he told the TF1 channel. "We will all return to the France team to win that Euro [2016]." In a leaked transcript of a hearing in Versailles, near Paris, last month he admitted telling Mr Valbuena things that were untrue but claims he was only trying to help. "It's all a huge misunderstanding. All I was doing was trying to help. There's nothing to any of it, no blackmail or demands for money," Mr Benzema told investigating judge Nathalie Boutard in early November, according to French newspaper Le Monde. Mr Benzema said he was told about the sex-tape while dining in Madrid with Karim Zenati, a childhood friend who he employs. Someone he did not know told him there was a "hot video" featuring Mr Valbuena, he said. Mr Benzema later told Mr Valbuena about the video and said he knew someone who could help - this was Mr Zenati, Mr Benzema told the judge. After this conversation, Mr Valbuena went to the police, who began tapping Mr Benzema's phone. In one taped conversation with Mr Zenati, Mr Benzema says he had told Mr Valbuena that he had seen the video - but later in court he admitted that this was untrue. Mr Benzema was also recorded telling Mr Valbuena to meet his friend alone in Lyon if he wanted the sex video destroyed. Mr Valbuena told Le Monde last week that Mr Benzema had "indirectly" suggested he would have to pay. Mr Benzema responded in the Wednesday interview with TF1: "I spoke with the heart with Mathieu Valbuena. When I heard about blackmail, that we demanded money, it makes me mad - I don't need money." But at the hearing Mr Benzema insisted he believed Mr Zenati would not ask for money because he did not need it as he was employed by the footballer. "To find myself involved in an affair like this with a team-mate that I'm fond of, I'm disappointed," added Mr Benzema. "When I talked about it on the phone I was just joking around, I didn't understand what a big deal it was." In his TV interview, Mr Benzema apologised to Mr Valbuena and his family for comments that appeared to mock him. "I'm mad with myself for having talked that way on the phone, we went too far." As well as Mr Benzema, three other men have been placed under formal investigation for involvement in the alleged plot. France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said Mr Benzema should not play for the national side again. Sex, blackmail and French footballers The Marine Conservation Society reckon that on some beaches in the UK for every step you take there are two pieces of litter. Some of the waste is left by visitors but lots of other stuff gets washed ashore after falling off boats or even out of the sewers. Leah chats to conservationists who are worried that all the junk is putting marine wildlife in danger. He was addressing a huge Russian audience in a live televised phone-in. He also insisted "there are no Russian troops in Ukraine". Moscow denies Western charges that it is directly arming and reinforcing the rebels. Later he said those who had ordered the murder of Boris Nemtsov - one of his leading critics - might never be found. Mr Nemtsov, a prominent opposition politician, was shot dead on 27 February near the Kremlin. Five suspects, all of them Chechens, are in custody. Mr Putin condemned the murder as "disgraceful". It was Mr Putin's 13th marathon annual phone-in with the Russian public, and lasted nearly four hours. Mr Putin denied reports that Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko had offered to let Russia have the rebel-held areas in the Donbas region. The rebels reject Kiev's rule and are getting humanitarian aid from Russia, which annexed Ukraine's Crimea region last year. "There are many problems there and we do not see the current Kiev authorities wanting to restore the social sphere, or the economy of Donbas," Mr Putin said. "We see a total blockade of Donbas. One can say that the current Ukrainian authorities are cutting off Donbas by their own hand. That is the problem and tragedy." Mr Putin said he had told business leaders that he did not expect EU-US sanctions - imposed over Russia's actions in Ukraine - to be lifted soon. "We need to use the situation to reach a new level of development," he said. The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow says such phone-ins are highly choreographed but do reveal Russians' concerns. Russians' real incomes have fallen this year for the first time since Mr Putin came to power. Mr Putin said the Russian economy would take about two years to bounce back from recession, or less as the rouble's value was rising again. He said there were encouraging signs that Russian agriculture was growing and replacing imports of Western food. However, a dairy farmer introduced as "John - a Russian citizen" grilled Mr Putin over the hardship faced by farmers. "You say everything is going well - sorry, that's not true," the farmer said. "I have five children... I need some assurance about their future in Russia. Do you believe the statistics or are they lying?" he asked in English-accented Russian. The farmer is reportedly John Kopiski, originally from the UK, who has lived in Vladimir region for about 15 years. Mr Putin admitted that farmers faced difficulties over low dairy retail prices and that cheap imports of powdered milk from Belarus were part of the problem. "I don't have reason to disbelieve the statistics," he said, adding that the government would have to increase subsidies for farmers. Later in the phone-in Mr Putin was asked about Russia's controversial plan to export S-300 air defence missiles to Iran. He insisted that the missiles were not on the UN list of banned exports under the UN sanctions linked to Iran's nuclear programme. He said he made the move because Iran had shown "a desire to reach compromise". The S-300 "doesn't threaten Israel at all, it's exclusively a defensive weapon", he added. Our correspondent says the questions for Mr Putin were clearly vetted, with nothing too critical or too personal. About two million questions came in before the broadcast. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said about 23% of the questions submitted concerned social welfare issues, and the second biggest area of concern was housing and local services. Hamilton was 0.291 seconds slower than Rosberg, with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo splitting the Mercedes. Rosberg heads Hamilton by 33 points in the championship with 100 still available in the remaining four races. Hamilton badly needs to win in Austin in Sunday to revive his rapidly faltering hopes of retaining his title. Final practice is at 16:00 BST on Saturday, with qualifying at 19:00. The world champion was fastest in first practice, in which he was impressive in setting a rapid initial pace and maintaining an advantage throughout as Rosberg closed in. Hamilton looked quick in the first stages of second practice, lapping within 0.3secs of Rosberg on the first runs, despite using the slower medium tyre while the German was on the soft. But his qualifying simulation run on the super-soft tyre did not go as well. Media playback is not supported on this device However, Hamilton was evenly matched with Rosberg on the race-simulation runs in the second part of the session, when Ricciardo was marginally faster than both Mercedes drivers on the super-soft tyres. "Ricciardo has had a great day," said team principal Christian Horner. "His short-run pace has been very strong, his long-run pace has been strong. "Mercedes are favourites going into the grand prix but if we can get within 0.1secs or so we can put a bit of pressure on in the race." Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was fourth fastest, ahead of Ricciardo's team-mate Max Verstappen and the Force Indias of Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez. McLaren drivers Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso were eighth and ninth, ahead of Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who made a mistake on his flying lap. The Finn incurred the wrath of both Alonso and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat, who both felt he was obstructive on track at various points of the session. Renault's Jolyon Palmer, fighting for his future in F1, had a spin and managed 17th fastest time, five places and 0.2secs behind team-mate Kevin Magnussen. US Grand Prix Second practice US Grand Prix coverage details Lufthansa chief executive Carsten Spohr spoke of such checks in an interview with the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). They could be like sports doping tests, the paper said. A Germanwings co-pilot deliberately crashed a plane in the Alps in March. It remains unclear why he did so. Andreas Lubitz, 27, is thought to have suffered some sort of mental breakdown. Prosecutors in Duesseldorf found evidence of "an existing illness and appropriate medical treatment". They found torn-up sick notes at his home. Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 - travelling from Barcelona to Duesseldorf - was flown into a mountain by Lubitz, after he locked the plane's pilot out of the cockpit. Germanwings is a budget airline managed by Lufthansa. In the FAZ interview, Mr Spohr said unannounced medical checks for pilots could be introduced, which in terms of the surprise factor would be similar to doping tests for sports men and women. He said that in certain cases a doctor might have to be released from the duty of confidentiality, to reveal concerns about a pilot. Random checks might for example detect a drug that the pilot had concealed from his or her employer. Since the disaster Lufthansa and other airlines have ruled that there must always be at least two people in the cockpit. Air accident investigators have staged a test flight to reconstruct conditions on board the Germanwings Airbus A320 which disintegrated on a mountainside in the French Alps after being put into a controlled dive. The German tabloid Bild says experts flew an identical plane, which took off from Hamburg and returned there after flying in German airspace. It took place on 12 May, a spokesman for Germany's crash investigation authority BFU said. French investigators say they hope the reconstruction will help them analyse sounds recorded in the cockpit of Flight 4U 9525. The flight copied the various altitudes, speeds, the cockpit door locking mechanism and pilots' breathing noises.

Symantec said it had evidence that the same group attempted to steal money from a bank in the Philippines, one in Vietnam and Bangladesh's central bank. It also said the rare malware deployed was similar to that used in the hacking of Sony Pictures in 2014. The US government said North Korea was behind the Sony hack. If North Korea is found to be behind the bank attacks, it would be the first time a country has been detected stealing money in a cyber-attack, Symantec's technical director Eric Chien told Reuters. In February this year, hackers stole $81m (£55m) from the central bank of Bangladesh. According to Symantec, it was the same group that attempted to steal $1m from the Tien Phong Bank in Vietnam and attacked a bank in the Philippines. In addition, the code shares similarities with malware used by the group known as Lazarus which has been accused of various attacks on the US and South Korea, including the attacks against Sony Pictures Entertainment. On the internet, no-one knows if you are a dog and they have an equally difficult time working out what kind of cyber thief you are too. It is common for online criminals to take attack code from other groups and bend it to their own malign purposes. They do it to cover their tracks and because what worked well against one target might work for them too. That code-sharing is less true when it comes to nation-state attacks which is why some security firms will name those they believe are behind these relatively rare intrusions. Typically the code used in these attacks is more about stealthy spying than outright theft so is less useful to those after cash. But that is not the case here as the code has been used to target bank networks and go after huge amounts of money. But it is difficult to be sure because code is code and once it is widely disseminated online it becomes harder to see who is behind the keyboard.

A top cyber-security firm is investigating whether North Korea could be linked to attacks on banks in recent months.

Johnson was a former captain of the Sky Blues but was allowed to leave after two seasons with the club. The 28-year-old previously had spells with Plymouth and Sheffield Wednesday. Chris Todd's Eastleigh have taken four points from their first two league games in 2016-17, beating Guiseley and then drawing at Braintree.

National League club Eastleigh have signed defender Reda Johnson, who was released by League One side Coventry at the end of last season.

In response to a Defence Select Committee inquiry into the drug Lariam, officials have also announced that troops will be offered an alternative. Dozens of British troops have said they have experienced side effects including severe depression and anxiety. MPs said they were disappointed it was not designated a "drug of last resort". Lariam - the brand name for mefloquine, a once-a-week anti-malarial tablet licensed for sale in 42 countries worldwide - has been given to more than 17,000 UK service personnel at least once between April 2007 and March 2015. The Defence Select Committee's inquiry concluded in a report last May that many had not been given proper medical checks before the drug had been prescribed - claims the government said it had taken seriously. The MoD has said in the past the vast majority of deployed personnel already received alternatives to Lariam. But ministers say all personnel will now be offered an alternative in case they are reluctant or averse to taking it. The MoD said: "The revised malaria prevention policy will direct that all anti-malarial drugs are only supplied after a face-to-face travel health risk assessment performed by an appropriately trained and regulated health care professional". A new telephone and email service has also been set up for current and former members of the armed forces with concerns or questions about Lariam. The Defence Select Committee said the MoD response was a step in the right direction but it was unable to "pass judgement" until the changes were put in place. By Sima Kotecha, Today programme For those who've taken Lariam and suffered, the government response doesn't go far enough. As one former soldier put it after seeing the statement: "They're simply covering their tracks". But it would be wrong to ignore the fact the Ministry of Defence is changing its malaria prevention policy as a result of the inquiry. And promising to carry out robust medical risk assessments prior to prescribing Lariam could be interpreted as an admission they were not following proper protocol. The inquiry was partly triggered by reports on BBC Radio 4's Today which raised questions about the suitability of the drug in a military setting, where psychological illnesses could be exacerbated by the environment in which personnel sometimes operate. A document from a senior military medic seen by the programme called on the government to use an alternative until it was clear Lariam was safe. Ministers now say one will always be offered. Follow Sima on Twitter @sima_kotecha The guidelines from Lariam's manufacturer Roche state the drug should only be given after a doctor has carried out a proper medical check on the patient. But the inquiry heard the MoD had in some instances used risk assessments based on medical records. In its written response to the committee's report, the MoD said: "Malaria is a deadly disease and we have a duty of care to protect our deployed personnel from it. [Lariam] continues to be recommended as a safe and effective form of malaria prevention by Public Health England, the World Health Organization, and other respected bodies who take account of the body of global evidence." The Defence Select Committee said the MoD had accepted of a number of its recommendations. But it said: "The committee is disappointed that the MoD has yet to designate Lariam as a drug of last resort as the report recommended. This would have sent out a clear message that the MoD has acknowledged and accepted the high risks associated with the use of Lariam." It is not clear how many service personnel have experienced side effects after taking the drug but according to evidence given to the Defence Select Committee inquiry, between 25% and 35% of those who took it, were affected. Last month, former Army chief Lord Dannatt told the BBC he had refused to take Lariam and personally believes the drug can have "catastrophic" mental health effects. Retired Lt Col Andrew Marriot, who gave evidence to the inquiry about the side effects he suffered including sleep deprivation and memory loss, told the BBC: "It is good to see that new processes are going to be implemented and personnel should, in future, be protected". But he said the MoD response on Lariam use in the past appeared to be "evasive and misleading" and his experience with the new helpline was not positive as "they will not discuss individual cases... they advise veterans to approach their GPs". The 4,000-year-old statue of priest or court official Sekhemka was gifted by the Marquis of Northampton in 1880. The Conservative-run council wants to sell the £2m statue citing high insurance and security costs. Asked for a response, the council will only say it "is in discussion about the statue's sale". The opposition Liberal Democrat group said the council had failed to keep it up to date on the sale. Group leader Brendan Glynane said he would ask what the council meant by "discussions" and would seek more clarity on the sale at the next council meeting. The ruling party had earlier said it could not comment during talks with the legal advisers of the present Marquis of Northampton, but "will issue updates when appropriate". The sale has been challenged by Lord Northampton, who said the council did not have the right to sell the statue under the original deed of gift. The 30in (76cm) limestone figure clutching beer, bread and cake - items for the afterlife - is believed to have been acquired by Spencer Compton, the second Marquis of Northampton during a trip to Egypt in 1850. It was presented to the museum by his son. The council said the statue's value made it too expensive to insure and secure, and the money raised from its sale could benefit other local heritage and cultural projects. The Presbyterian Church based next door needed extra space for its car park, so when the bomb-proof property became available, they were first in with a bid. If all goes according to plan, the building will be in use by this time next year. More than half of all police stations in Northern Ireland have been sold off in the past decade. The majority have been bought by private developers - raising more than £24m for the public purse - some have been demolished to make way for housing and commercial developments. But the bomb-proof Dungiven station, built in the 1990s, is still standing. The congregation paid £175,000 for the station, which they plan to use for Sunday school classes and Church events. "We never thought we would some day own the local police station, but now we do and think it's great value for money," said Ian Buchanan, who is on the Church committee. "It may not be the most attractive building but it has great potential inside and we plan to use every room, including the holding cell. "It will be a good place for some quiet reflection." The Church had initially planned to use the site for a car park, but the congregation changed their plans after seeing the interior. The two-storey building boasts five bedrooms, a gym, a holding cell and an armoury. It also has an office once used by military personnel. The building was stripped down before being put up for sale. Supt Muir Clark said he was pleased to see the building would be put to good use. "A lot of the stations were heavily fortified and there needs to be a lot of work to make them useable for other purposes, so it is good to see the station in Dungiven used for public service," he said. Dungiven police station is one of 74 former stations to be sold off in the past decade by the PSNI, which has reduced its number of police stations from 140 to just more than 60. "As a police service we are now less than half the size we used to be, and therefore don't need the same estate," said Supt Clark. He rejected claims that closing stations would leave some communities more vulnerable to crime. "We can contact people in much different ways than we used to 20 or 30 years ago and still give that community confidence through social media and in other ways. "So actually having a building in today's digital age is not as important as it used to be in the past." Twenty two of the sites are still in the public sector, having been bought by councils, housing associations and community groups. The remaining sites were sold on the open market to private developers and have been used for housing and commercial developments. The former Ballynafeigh Police Station in Belfast is currently on the market with an asking price of £900,000. But Supt Clark said the £24m so far raised from the sales does not end up in the PSNI's budget. "The money goes back to Stormont, but the police can apply to use some of it for capital projects," he said. You can see more on this story on BBC Newsline at 18:30 BST on Friday. It comes after the observation pod broke down three times in five days. About 200 people were trapped for more than an hour on Sunday. British Airways i360 said customers who had delayed their visit would still be able use their tickets. It said the breakdowns happened after automatic brakes were triggered. A spokeswoman said a load imbalance had led to the first problem last Thursday. Then, 180 passengers were left stuck in mid-air for two hours with no proper toilet facilities. The i360 pod was carrying a private party, including a heavily pregnant woman. Further problems occurred on Sunday when one of the sensors around the pod docking stations at ground level became loose, she said. She said a false reading sent to the control system put the pod once more into safety mode by activating the brakes. Two hundred passengers were stuck at ground level for more than an hour. Two hours later there was a second technical fault leaving another group of visitors stuck in the pod. Chairman and architect David Marks apologised for the "teething problems", but said: "It would be highly unusual for something as new and innovative as this not to have some issues with it. "Thankfully they were not serious issues." Mr Marks conceded it had been "a terrible inconvenience" for all those involved in the incidents. "I'm deeply sorry about it. We don't want to see that happening again. "We've addressed the particular issues that caused the stoppages last week," he said. British Airways i360 tweeted: "Any ticket holders who have delayed their visit while awaiting confirmation that we are open can use their ticket at a later time of the day if they wish." The tower - branded the world's thinnest tall building - offers views of up to 26 miles of the Sussex coastline and opened on 4 August. The 531ft (161m) viewing tower stands on the site once occupied by the entrance to Brighton's ruined West Pier. Visitors ascend 450ft (137m) in a 360-degree curved-glass pod. Over the past year, eight people lost their lives, one fewer than the previous year. The number of fires in homes was down by 43 to a total of 923 for the year 2014. The NI Fire and Rescue Service has welcomed the news, but warned that there was no room for complacency. Assistant Chief Fire Officer Dale Ashford said: "One accidental fire death is one too many and we want to reach a stage where we have no fatalities in Northern Ireland due to accidental houses fires." He urged people to check their smoke alarms on a weekly basis and plan an escape route in the event of a fire. The fire service also offers free home fire safety checks to help people ensure their homes are safe. The 24-year-old Grenada international was out of contract at Wycombe, for whom he made 149 appearances after joining from Brentford in 2014. He was offered a new deal at Adams Park and had recently been on trial with Championship side Bristol City. "He is a strong and powerful centre-back and is improving all the time," said Cobblers boss Justin Edinburgh. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Anglia Ruskin University, based in Chelmsford and Cambridge, will launch a masters degree in the subject in 2018. Centre director Helen Marshall said the "current interest in alternative facts and George Orwell's 1984" made the subject "relevant". It will also offer science fiction and fantasy modules for undergraduates. The centre, which will be run within the university's English faculty, will officially open on Wednesday with 10 staff. Dr Marshall said: "While these genres might be seen to look backwards to the distant past and forward to myriad potential futures. "As Orwell himself says, 'He who controls the past controls the future. "'He who controls the present controls the past'." The centre has set up its own so-called "shadow jury" to critique the results of this year's for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, thought to be a first for a science fiction book prize Judges will include the academic Dr Nick Hubble and author Nina Allan and they will each select their own shortlist from the award and nominate their favourite, Dr Marshall said it was inspired by the shadow juries that have "worked wonders in enlivening the climate of debate around mainstream literary awards such as the Man Booker Prize". She added it would "investigate issues surrounding the definitions of science fiction". Sorry your browser is not supported Passengers waited an average of nearly 29 extra minutes to travel back to the UK from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Venice, Nice and Barcelona were next on the list of longest UK-inbound delays among the 50 airports with the most flights on these routes. The data comes from figures collected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The analysis, by the BBC's data journalism team, is based on the last two years of CAA data for all flights from or to UK airports during June to August. Earlier analysis showed that, on flights leaving the UK, holidaymakers heading from Gatwick Airport and on Easyjet flights suffered the longest delays. Flight calculator: At the top of the page you can enter your UK departure city, and your destination, to find average delays for the airlines serving this route in the last two summers. Now, data on the routes used by UK residents returning home, show that six of the 50 airports with the most flights back to the UK had typical delays of more than 25 minutes. This even included internal flights from Gatwick. If the less frequently flown routes are included in the data, then flights to UK airports from Kingston, Jamaica, had the longest average delay of nearly 53 minutes. Six airports on this list recorded average delays of more than 45 minutes in the last two summers. On specific routes, travellers flying from Keflavik Airport in Iceland to Glasgow saw the longest average delay of 55 minutes, followed by Malaga in Spain to Heathrow (54 minutes) and Kingston, Jamaica, to Gatwick (53 minutes). Among the 50 busiest airports for flights to the UK, the worst delays were from Barcelona to Gatwick (31 minutes), followed by Chicago O'Hare Airport to Heathrow (30 minutes) and Palma de Mallorca Airport to Gatwick (30 minutes). Travellers flying from the EU or on European airlines do have a right to compensation. This means: All data used on this page is compiled and made available by the Civil Aviation Authority, which publishes aggregated statistics on punctuality for all flights taking off or landing at major UK airports. The BBC has combined the CAA's data for June, July and August of 2015 and 2016 and used this to calculate the average (i.e. mean) delay per flight across these months for all routes listed in the data. Routes with fewer than 50 flights over this period were excluded, as were airlines that registered no flight data for the summer months of 2016 (even if they had been active in 2015). Chartered flights were not distinguished from scheduled flights in the calculations for airlines that fly both categories on the same route. The data for outbound delays is based on the time the aeroplane takes off from the UK runway, and the data for return delays is based on the time the aeroplane arrives back on the UK runway. Flights that take off or land early are recorded as having a delay of zero minutes.

However, the number of new subscribers in the US was less than the company had forecast, prompting shares to fall in after-hours trading. It attributed this to the "ongoing transition to chip-based credit and debit cards". The firm said revenue rose to $1.74bn (£1.1bn) from $1.41bn a year earlier. In the US it had predicted an extra 1.15m subscribers in the third quarter, but in fact saw just 880,000 new additions. In an interview to discuss the results, the chief financial officer David Wells said the move to new, more secure chip-based devices, which banks in the US have been introducing this year, often meant that customers had to re-enter their details. "There may be other things going on here but certainly the transition is not helping," he said. Barton Crockett, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets said: "The slowdown in US subscriber growth was particularly disappointing because one would expect that since Netflix just raised rates last week, this number would have been strong." Netflix has been doing a fair bit of gambling lately. First, it took the not-unanimously-popular decision to remove thousands of films from its catalogue in favour of spending money on original programming. And then last week it said it was going to up its prices as well. Slow user growth in the US will worry investors - although the company has blamed the transition in the US to chip cards, rather than waning interest. Internationally there were more new subscribers than anticipated, suggesting the chip excuse may be a valid one. As for its future direction, Netflix's chief executive Reed Hastings and chief content officer Ted Sarandos told investors the company was looking to compete with the likes of Vice, but Netflix's PR team later stepped in to clarify that this didn't mean Netflix had its eye on becoming a news organisation. It's only natural that Netflix would be looking to add new genres to its original programming offer. But it will be years until we'll know whether Netflix's gambling has paid off. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Internationally, the company added more subscribers than it had predicted, 2.74m compared with a forecast of 2.4m. It has recently launched in Spain, Italy and Portugal and plans to expand into South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore in early 2016. "It is clear that Internet TV is becoming increasingly mainstream and traditional media companies are adjusting to the shift from linear to on-demand viewing," the company said in its letter to shareholders. Last week Netflix, which makes programmes such as House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, increased prices in several countries, including the US, in order to "improve our ability to acquire and offer high quality content". It also decided not renew a contract with the distributor Epix, meaning that thousands of films, such as the Hunger Games and Transformers, will be removed from its site. The company said this was because most of the content was not exclusive and often only available in the US. It said that so far it had seen "no material reduction in US feature film viewing". A total of 23 male survivors were rescued while clinging to a floating device, Ayoub Kassem added. Rescue operations are continuing, but the chances of finding more survivors are slim, reports say. Libya is a major transit point for migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. At least 590 of them have died or have gone missing along the Libyan coast so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Survivors reported that 15 women and five children were among those missing when the latest boat sank less than 10km (6 miles) off the coast of the capital, Tripoli. "What happened is that the base of the boat got wrecked and the boat had sunk," Mr Kassem was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying. Survivors said the inflatable boat had set off with about 120 people on board, most from Sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly 25,000 migrants have arrived in Europe since the beginning of the year, taking a perilous journey across the Mediterranean. Their exit from Libya is made easier but more dangerous by the disbandment of Libya's security forces in the aftermath of the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Some militias act as unofficial coastguards but are often accused of profiteering from people smuggling. A 12-year-old survivor from Ivory Coast - now being accommodated at the Maitiga detention centre in the Libyan capital Tripoli - told the BBC's Rana Jawad that "the boat broke and my mother died". A BBC producer at the detention centre said survivors had been given blankets and water. Another survivor, Mohamed Amine from Mali, told the BBC: "We were at sea in the boat for three days… we were rescued after it capsized." Dave Edwards capitalised on defensive confusion to fire his second goal in successive games from 12 yards. Sheyi Ojo sealed victory when he curled in a low left-foot shot late on. On the anniversary of his first year in charge, Gary Rowett's Blues were outplayed as they fell to a third home defeat in four games. Wolves had lost their previous three games and began nine places behind Blues in the Championship table. But, in contrast to their last visit to St Andrew's in April, when defeat contributed to them missing out on a play-off place, this time it was Wolves who caused an upset. But the visitors owed a little to luck with the opening goal. Blues' Jacques Maghoma tried to block Nathan Byrne's left-wing cross, but it deflected off his shoulder and when the ball bounced it span viciously over the head of Paul Robinson. Media playback is not supported on this device Former Wolves keeper Tomasz Kuszczak saved from Benik Afobe as he attempted to repair Robinson's error of judgement, but the ball fell for Edwards who calmly stroked home left-footed from 12 yards. Blues did improve in the run-up to the break, but Wolves were worth their half-time lead. And it was much the same story after the break as Wolves new loan signing Mike Williamson and skipper Danny Batth proved impenetrable to Blues' misfiring attack. Wolves finally sealed the points six minutes from time when Ojo cut in from the right before sliding his left-foot shot just inside Kuszczak's right-hand post. Birmingham manager Gary Rowett: "We did not show the quality we required. We needed to be more inventive and show more composure on the ball. Media playback is not supported on this device "Conceding a very poor goal against the run of play didn't help us. That was the disappointing thing for me. "We have been very solid defensively and not given too much away but the two goals were poor from our point of view and very easy for Wolves to score. "I have to say Wolves played well and I do not want to take any credit away from them." Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: "The three points are important to us. In our previous three games we have been too open and not competitive enough. "We conceded nine goals in those three games but we restricted Birmingham to only one shot on target. "We defended well as a team and showed commitment. We got the goals at the right time and hopefully we now have something to build on." Match ends, Birmingham City 0, Wolverhampton Wanderers 2.

Owais Rajput, who is standing for election in the Bradford East constituency, was allegedly pushed by a man after the debate on Sunday night. He also says he was verbally abused at the event, which he attended in support of fellow UKIP parliamentary candidate for Bradford West, Harry Boota. West Yorkshire Police said it was looking into the incident. The candidates for Bradford East are: The candidates for Bradford West are: The 22-year-old, who now plays for Swindon Town, had denied the charge, claiming the woman had consented to sex at a hotel in January 2013. Newcastle Crown Court heard the woman had agreed to meet him after the pair had swapped a number of messages. The player told the court he had never engaged in sexual activity with a female against her will. During the trial, the jury heard Mr Ranger and the woman had met in a city centre bar and gone on to different clubs before eventually booking into the Carlton Hotel, in the Jesmond area of Newcastle. Giving evidence, the woman said she had no memory of the night beyond the bar where they met, until she woke up naked next to the footballer in bed. The jury took an hour to reach their not guilty verdict, after which Mr Ranger banged on the glass door of the dock and said: "Thank God for that." He then thanked the jury and, as he removed his tie, said "What a joke" before leaving court with friends. Previously, the trial had heard that after spending the night with the woman, the player told her she should take the morning after pill. She left and they continued to swap messages that day, the court was told. She then visited her GP, was checked at hospital and made a rape allegation to police. After being arrested Mr Ranger told police the pair had sex more than once and that she had engaged "whole heartedly" and "enthusiastically". The court heard they had been messaging for a year before the incident, with the player repeatedly trying to meet up with her. This had led the woman to refer to him as a "predator" and "Nile Ripper" in some of the texts they exchanged, the jury learned. Mr Ranger made no comment on leaving the court but his solicitor, Geoffrey Forrester, said the footballer was delighted with the outcome. During the trial the jury heard about trouble that Ranger had been in previously. This included serving an 11-week sentence in a young offenders' institution when he was 15 after he took part in a street robbery. Growing up in North London, he mixed with an older gang and also had convictions for burglary and handling stolen goods in 2007. While giving evidence, Mr Ranger said his rape arrest was "one of the main reasons" his contract was terminated with Newcastle United. The player told jurors he was about to be transferred to Hull City on loan from Newcastle when the rape allegation was made. He said his contract with the club, and the loan arrangement, ended after his arrest. He then moved to League One side Swindon Town where, he told the court, he had enjoyed success on the field. The Wiltshire club said: "At this point the club is not making any comment." It happened on the northbound carriageway at about 07:50. The 54-year-old man driving the pick-up was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. The road was closed in both directions while investigations were carried out. Police have appealed for witnesses. The woman was driving a Kia Cerato. Sgt Gary Taylor from Police Scotland said: "Sadly, a young woman has lost her life as a result of this collision and our thoughts are with her family and loved ones at this difficult time. "I'd urge anyone who was travelling in the area and who witnessed this incident or the movements of either vehicle prior to the collision to contact police immediately if they haven't already done so." Christopher Tester, 37, from Torquay in Devon, was wounded during a robbery at his parents' restaurant on Christmas Day. His sister, Vicky Tester, said he was still in an induced coma. The crowdfunding campaign was set up as Mr Tester did not have travel insurance. The fund is still accepting donations with a new target of £110,000 to pay for ongoing specialist care. Mr Tester had being flown to the neighbouring island of Guadeloupe for specialist treatment. Ms Tester said: "I really hope within the next 24 to 48 hours he will be back on the plane to the UK. "It's absolutely critical he gets back to the UK. He's stable, he's extremely lucky to be alive, but he needs some urgent treatment. "He's still in an induced coma now. They brought him out of the induced coma to see how he responded. He did say a few words to my mum and dad. "I can't comprehend what my parents are going through. It's been extremely difficult for them. They're tough, I'm really proud of them." Ms Tester said her brother had planned to spend three weeks with his parents on the Caribbean island. The former schoolboys, who were as young as 11 when they were convicted of petty misdemeanours and sent to St Gilbert's in Worcestershire, are demanding answers from the De La Salle order, which ran the school under the governance of the Home Office. They want to know why a teacher convicted of sex offences against boys continued to be employed? Why were parents who complained about severe beatings ignored? And why did police ignore the boys who asked for help? Joe Riley, now 68, was the first to come forward. He currently lives in Northern Ireland where the order, also known as the Christian Brothers, is being investigated for alleged offences there. Mr Riley, who kept his abuse a secret for 55 years, said that inquiry was the trigger for bringing his own case to public attention. He was 12 in 1959 when he was sent to St Gilbert's in Hartlebury after being convicted of housebreaking and vandalism. Mr Riley said he was raped by the headmaster, sexually abused by another brother and by a visiting priest. "I remember lying in my dormitory, hearing the screams of other boys echoing through the house at night. "I remember being beaten. I remember blood running down my legs. And then Brother Joseph tried to interfere with me. "One minute you'd be singing hymns in church and everything and you'd come out and that's what they'd do to you after church. "One minute you're on your knees praying to the Lord and then you'd be doing things the good Lord said you shouldn't do". Another former pupil, 74-year-old Tom Graham from Boscombe in Dorset, described his treatment as "degradation and humiliation". He was at the school from 1950 to 1956 and said he still struggles to swallow after a time when two of the Christian Brothers force-fed him his own vomit. Mr Riley and Mr Graham have waived their right to anonymity to talk about the abuse - and a further 10 former pupils have spoken without being named. One man said he was raped by older boys. Another said he was molested in the middle of the night in his dormitory. Documents prove another boy was so badly beaten his father made a complaint to the police, and Home Office inspection reports show the Brothers were told to reduce the amount of corporal punishment they inflicted. "Delinquent" boys were sent to St Gilbert's from all over the country, for crimes such as vandalism and petty theft. Aged between 11 and 15, their sentences ranged from six months to three years - although many boys remained there significantly longer. The aim of approved schools was to get troubled boys back on the straight-and-narrow, while providing them with an education and training for future employment. One boy's father had his concerns dismissed by the police and the Home Office. He wrote a letter and made a formal statement which said: "I was horrified at what I saw and felt like crying - that's the truth. "I have no objection to normal chastisement as I understand they have to keep discipline… but these bruises were worse than any I've seen. "If I had done it I would expect to be prosecuted in court." An investigation concluded the boy had formerly been "indulged" by his family and that the beating was not inappropriately severe. Mr Riley said he and others posted a note through the policeman's postbox in the village of Hartlebury while they were at the school - but nothing was done. Because the school was a home for young offenders he says he thought they would not be believed. Reports of the Home Office inspections are at the National Archives in London, where some were embargoed and had been intended to be unavailable until 2044. But they were recently released under the Freedom of Information Act - and indicate serious concerns about the school. It was revealed the deputy headmaster, Brother Maurice, had been convicted of six counts of sexually abusing boys at St Gilbert's but was reinstated as a teacher after being given a sentence of three years probation on condition he spend a year in a hospital. The file also showed there had been previous complaints about him to the De La Salle order - which sent him to Scotland. West Mercia Police has opened an investigation into abuse at the school in the 40s, 50s and 60s. None of the St Gilbert's employees are still with the De La Salle order. The two Christian Brothers who abused Joe Riley were Brother Robert Joseph McHale and Brother Joseph Roderick Nicholson. They are both now dead. A statement from the De La Salle order said: "The order reaffirms its unreserved condemnation of abusive behaviour and its unreserved apology to victims and their families, along with its commitment to support them." A statement from the Home Office said: "If anyone has been a victim of abuse, or knows of any abuse that has taken place at St Gilbert's approved school, they should report it to the police so it can be properly investigated." Pardew accused fans of "mass hysteria" in September after his side's poor start to the Premier League season. But the Magpies overcame Liverpool 1-0 at St James' Park on Saturday to make it four league and cup wins in a row. Media playback is not supported on this device "It'll be fantastic in the town tonight - I might even go in myself, the first time for a while," said Pardew. "That is what this city is about. It breathes and loves football." Newcastle were bottom of the Premier League after a 4-0 defeat at Pardew's former club Southampton on 13 September, with fans calling for him to be sacked. Since then they have taken 11 points from six top-flight matches. The win over Liverpool, courtesy of substitute Ayoze Perez's goal, was their third in a row in the league, and lifted them to 11th. In addition, the Magpies have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup. Pardew, who celebrates four years in the job next month, added: "I always knew, and I kept saying it, that we have good spirit and good talent. "I am not saying I saw the wins coming, but I knew there was talent. "When it does not go well, they let you know, and when it is going well, they let you know. "You take the good with the bad." The win over Liverpool came at a cost, however. Midfielder Gabriel Obertan was forced off with a thigh injury and Pardew said the outlook was bleak for the Frenchman. "Losing Obertan was real blow because he has been outstanding," he said. "It looks like he's got a bad injury so we're all really disappointed for him." The reigning European champions host Serbia in Llanelli on Saturday and face Italy away on Saturday, 29 October. The group winners will reach the finals while the runners-up will play against the second-placed side in the group containing Ireland, Spain and Russia. "The games against Serbia and Italy are absolutely vital," Kear said. "We are doing many things correctly domestically and I think that's got to be reflected by the fact we're going to be at the World Cup." Under former coach Iestyn Harris, Wales failed to reach the World Cup quarter-finals in 2013 after they were defeated by Italy, the United States and the Cook Islands. Kear will be without Warrington Wolves' Rhys Evans and Ben Flower of Wigan Warriors, who are unavailable after playing in the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford. "They are bound to be a loss but I think if you look at any of the squads there's always the odd player who's missing after a long season," Kear added. "I'm just really pleased with the squad we've got for this campaign because I feel it's got a mixture of youth, experience and quality within there." Wales squad: Elliot Kear (London Broncos), Rhys Williams (London Broncos), Calvin Wellington(St Helens), Christiaan Roets (South Wales Ironmen), Regan Grace (St Helens), Courtney Davies (South Wales Ironmen), Ollie Olds (Souths Logan Magpies), Gil Dudson (Widnes Vikings), Lloyd White (Widnes Vikings), Craig Kopczak (Salford Red Devils - captain), Rhodri Lloyd (Swinton Lions), Lewis Reece (Gloucestershire All Golds), Phil Joseph (Salford Red Devils), Steve Parry (Gloucestershire All Golds), Joe Burke (Oldham Roughyeds), Jake Emmitt (Swinton Lions), Anthony Walker (Wakefield Trinity Wildcats), Andrew Gay (Mackay Cutters), Matty Fozard (Sheffield Eagles), Morgan Evans (Gloucestershire All Golds), Ian Newbury (South Wales Ironmen), Connor Farrer (South Wales Ironmen) Labour became the largest party on the council last week after taking a seat from the SNP. The losing SNP candidate was Ms Sturgeon's father, Robin. The first minister's mother, Joan, has now stood down as Provost after the SNP resigned from the administration. The decision paves the way for Labour to try and form an administration. Following the by-election last week, Louise McPhater became Labour's 12th councillor to the SNP's 11. Provost Joan Sturgeon said: "With the change in representation on the council it is clear to me that I should allow a complete reset of the council administration, including resigning my own position. "While the post of Provost is non-political it is elected at the start of every council term and it seems clear to me that I should allow that election to take place in tandem with the democratic election of the new administration. "It has been one of the greatest honours of my life to serve the people of North Ayrshire and I thank them for giving me the opportunity to do so." A spokeswoman for North Ayrshire Council said: "We will hold a special council meeting on Tuesday 30 August at 2pm. "The purpose of the meeting will be to consider the resignation of the current administration and to make arrangements for a new council to be formed. "The meeting has been called in response to a request from eight members of the council." One senior Labour councillor, who said he was unaware of the SNP group decision until it was reported and confessed surprise, said: "Labour will now engage in discussions. The SNP did not need to take this decision now."

Birmingham Bears beat Leicestershire, while Nottinghamshire inflicted a fifth straight defeat on Durham. David Miller made 50 on Glamorgan debut in a 25-run win over Gloucestershire. Leicestershire remain in third place despite their 30-run defeat, with Yorkshire top, Lancashire second and Derbyshire and Birmingham making up the top five. Reece added an unbroken 75 off the final 39 balls of the Derbyshire innings with Daryn Smit, who hit 42 out out from 20 deliveries. Liam Livingstone made 44 off 18 balls, but Karl Brown's departure for 41 off 25 sparked Lancashire's collapse from 93-1 to 163-9 as New Zealand seamer Matt Henry finished with 3-37. Glamorgan's victory at Bristol took them to the top of the South group. South Africa batsman Miller, who signed a six-game deal but had his debut delayed by Sunday's washout against Essex, hit 50 off 33 balls containing four fours and three sixes. Compatriot Jacques Rudolph contributed a more measured 51 in a total of 176-5, while Michael Klinger's 52 was the only sizeable contribution in Gloucestershire's 151-7. England one-day opener Alex Hales hit 10 fours in his 22-ball 44 as Nottinghamshire cruised to a nine-wicket win at Chester-le-Street, their third victory in succession. Riki Wessels, who last week became the first player to score a Twenty20 century for Notts, made 49 not out and Brendan Taylor an unbeaten 33 to help the visitors overhaul a target of 124 with four overs to spare. Left-arm spinner Samit Patel, opening the bowling, earlier took three wickets in four balls to help bowl Durham out for 123. At a disciplinary tribunal he was also ordered to pay costs of £76,326.55. The court heard how Mr Crossley used his law firm ACS: Law to demand money in recompense for alleged copyright infringements. The scheme unravelled when several cases went to court. The Solicitors' Regulation Authority (SRA), which brought the case against Mr Crossley, welcomed the decision to uphold the allegations against Mr Crossley. "Some of those affected were vulnerable members of the public and this matter has caused them significant distress," said an SRA spokesman. "We hope that it serves as a warning to others. Solicitors have a trusted position in society and therefore have a duty to act with integrity, independence and in the best interests of their clients," he added. It has taken two-and-a-half years for the case to come before the Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal. The allegations included "acting in a way that was likely to diminish the trust the public places in him or in the legal profession" and "using his position as a solicitor to take unfair advantage of the recipients of the letters for his own benefit". In mitigation, Mr Crossley said that he had already suffered as a result of the work he had undertaken and was now bankrupt. He said he was in danger of having his house repossessed and that his 15-year relationship had broken down because of the case. Mr Crossley began the so-called speculative invoicing scheme in May 2009. In total he sent about 20,000 letters to people identified as having downloaded content, often pornography, without paying for it. He claimed he was acting on behalf of MediaCAT, which in turn represented the copyright owners. The letters threatened court action unless the recipient paid a one-off fee of about £500. Consumer group Which? was one of the first to highlight the cases of people who claimed that they had been wrongly accused and had been upset by the threatening nature of the letters. When a handful of cases came to court, the scheme came in for widespread derision, angering the presiding judge, Judge Birss, who turned the spotlight on Mr Crossley, accusing him of abusing the court process. The lawyer for the defendants likened the case to Charles Dickens' Bleak House. In a further twist, the ACS: Law website was hacked and huge amounts of sensitive data were exposed during attempts to get it up and running again. Mr Crossley was fined by the Information Commissioner's Office for the data breach. James Bench, founder of campaign group Being Threatened?, set up to represent those who received letters from ACS: Law, said he was pleased by the findings of the disciplinary hearing. "The judgement will provide some satisfaction to those innocent members of the public that Mr Crossley relentlessly bullied in the operation of this scheme," he said. "It was clear to all that Mr Crossley's speculative invoicing scheme lacked any legal merit," he added. But he said that he was disappointed that the case had taken nearly three years to reach a conclusion. It was revealed during the hearing that the SRA had asked Mr Crossley to stop the scheme within days of him setting it up, but he had refused.

Chelsea captain Katie Chapman, under pressure from Jill Scott, diverted Toni Duggan's corner into her own net 12 minutes before half-time. Duggan added the second from the penalty spot after full-back Lucy Bronze was fouled by Gilly Flaherty. City's victory - in front of a crowd of more than 4,000 - took them 10 points clear of second-placed Chelsea, who will secure Champions League qualification if they take two points from their final two WSL games. Nick Cushing's City can win a second trophy of 2016 on 2 October, when they face Birmingham City in the Continental Cup final. "I'm really pleased that we've won the title - it's what we set out to do," City boss Cushing told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra. "But I'm more pleased with the performance today. In the second half especially we were dominant defensively and offensively. "We've got some big games coming up and we want to be successful in the Champions League now that we've won the league. For now it's hard work because we've got big games." England international Duggan added: "It's amazing to be WSL champions. It's something I've always wanted and a dream has come true. "We've won the league - job done. We've got a cup final next week and we want to do the double. We set out to achieve big things and I'm sure the champagne can wait on ice for a couple of weeks." City's clean sheet was their 16th of the season in all competitions and they have conceded just three league goals in 15 WSL games. Their first title also comes less than three seasons after they were controversially introduced to the top flight, having only finished fourth in the Women's Premier League in 2013. Cushing has now led the club to two major trophies, following victory in the 2014 Women's Continental Cup. Match ends, Manchester City Women 2, Chelsea Ladies 0.

The news follows a Newsbeat questionnaire, where listeners shared their views on cosmetic surgery. More than half of respondents who had not yet had a procedure, said they would consider undergoing one. The NHS advises that cosmetic surgery and procedures are a "major decision" and suggests that anyone considering them should talk to their GP. If you are thinking about having a procedure done, what should you be researching? "Research the operation," says consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPS council member, Mr Kevin Hancock. "It's always helpful for the surgeon you're talking to if you take some pictures of either somebody you think looks great or what you would like to try to achieve," he adds. He believes it is important to get a "realistic" idea of "what that surgery can achieve", as well as the risks and side effects of the procedure. "Everybody should expect, as part of the consultation process, to have a discussion about complications and problems," he explains. "If you see a proper surgeon who is experienced with this kind of thing, immediately you're having a kind of psychological appraisal," says Mr Hancock. "Most of us who do a lot of this kind of surgery say no to people on a regular basis." He says to be careful of feeling pressured into going ahead with surgery, or additional procedures, by pushy sales people offering discounts or deals. "If you're sitting in a commercial clinic setting, probably the first thing that's happened is your credit card has been swiped and even if it's not overt, you're going to be pressured into having something done." The Royal College of Surgeons "Ideally they need a recommendation," says Mr Hancock, adding that friends and family who have used a particular surgeon may be the best place to start. Both he and the NHS advise to first check whether the surgeon you are interested in is registered with the GMC (General Medical Council), where there are lists of people with special training in plastic surgery. "You should be seeing and talking to the surgeon who will be operating on you. "You don't want to see anybody else, be they sales person, nurse, assistant or marketing person," Mr Hancock adds, "There isn't regulation. There aren't rules that control this that people can therefore feel reassured by, because actually it's the Wild West out there and there are cowboys all over the place," says Mr Hancock. He advises against just relying on glossy advertisements or social media to find a clinic or surgeon. "All the recognised private clinics are governed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and so the patients know that's about as good a regulation as you get," he adds. The NHS says that if you are unhappy with the results of your cosmetic surgery, or you think it wasn't carried out properly, you should talk to your surgeon through the hospital or clinic that referred you. You can also get in touch with the CQC, if the clinic is registered with them. Practitioners of non-surgical procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers do not need to be registered with the CQC so if you have an issue "it's best to take it up with the person who carried out the procedure" says the NHS. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter A spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor said they were in custody for questioning over "illicit activity". Uber, which puts vetted drivers in touch with passengers, is unpopular with registered drivers in many cities because they tend to undercut prices. A recent French taxi-drivers' strike turned violent. The US company is banned in some places, but it says it will keep operating in France. Last week, France's interior minister ordered a ban on the low-cost car-sharing service UberPOP after a day of nationwide protests by taxi drivers. Bernard Cazeneuve said the service was "illegal" and ordered police and prosecutors to enforce its closure. Uber says it will stop operating if ordered to do so by a court. Last week's protests saw US singer Courtney Love Cobain caught up in the unrest, which she compared with a war zone. Taxi drivers complain Uber is stealing their livelihoods as its drivers do not have to pass the same tests, nor pay the same taxes, as more established taxi services. Karim Wade was also fined $230m (£150m) for illegal enrichment during his father's 12-year rule. He was chosen at the weekend as the presidential candidate of the main opposition party, the PDS. President Macky Sall warned last week that his government would not tolerate any attempt to destabilise Senegal after the court gave its verdict. Mr Sall defeated Abdoulaye Wade in fiercely contested elections in 2012. Karim Wade was accused of illegally amassing about $1.4bn, but was cleared of some of the charges by a special anti-corruption court in the capital, Dakar. He has been in detention since April 2013. Judge Henri Gregoire Diop said Wade had hidden away funds in offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands and Panama, Reuters news agency reports. "The facts before us constitute illicit enrichment by Karim Wade," the judge is quoted as saying. Opposition supporters inside the courtroom shouted in protest, denouncing the verdict as "shameful". Wade's lawyer Mohamed Seydou Diagne said he would appeal against the verdict. The anti-corruption court did not have jurisdiction over the case and it was politically motivated, he said. Wade was a senior minister in his father's government, and was in charge of major infrastructure and energy projects. His large portfolio led to him being dubbed "the minister of the earth and the sky". His arrest came after the new government vowed to tackle corruption. Dubbed "Black Friday" or "Mad Friday", it is the last Friday before Christmas and is traditionally a popular night for office parties. It has gained a reputation as among the busiest nights of the year for pubs, restaurants, police and paramedics. Officers are urging partygoers to drink responsibly. Specialist nurses will be deployed as usual at the weekend alcohol treatment centre at Ebenezer Church in Cardiff city centre, although health officials expect it to be busier than normal. The centre aims to ease the pressure on the Welsh Ambulance Service and local A&E departments. In 2012, 44 people were treated by St John Wales volunteers in Cardiff during the festive period - the most common complaints were intoxication, head wounds and cuts. Only a small percentage needed further hospital treatment, which saved hours of treatment time at A&E, the charity said. Taxi marshals will be used in Rhyl, in Denbighshire, on Friday, Saturday and December 31, to help keep customers and taxi drivers safe. North Wales Police will hand out bottled water in towns in Gwynedd to help drinkers reduce the effects of alcohol. Officers will also carry out vehicle checks during the evening and early morning to prevent and deter drink-driving. The Welsh Ambulance Service service took 1,124 calls on Black Friday last year, compared to 811 calls on the same night in 2011 and 1,242 calls in 2010. Staff receive roughly 750 calls on a typical Friday night. Richard Lee, head of clinical services for the Trust, is urging partygoers to drink responsibly. He said: "We are not killjoys but we are asking the public to drink responsibly and enjoy themselves safely. "The safest way to enjoy alcohol is not to drink on an empty stomach, alternate water and soft drinks with alcoholic ones. Please look after your friends and make sure that you have planned a way of getting home at the end of your night out." The Trust will have triage centres in Bangor, Rhyl, Wrexham, Swansea, Cardiff and Gwent. Safer Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Partnerships are continuing to promote the One Punch Ruins Lives campaign, which aims to reduce alcohol-fuelled violence by educating people about the possible consequences of violence. South Wales Police Chief Supt Julian Williams, said: "One stupid punch could seriously impact on someone's future so the best thing to do if faced with aggression or violence is to be the bigger person and walk away." Additional officers will be deployed in Gwent to help deal with extra people on the streets on Friday. Gwent Police Chief Insp Martyn Smith said officers would be there in a supportive role but would take action where needed. "Whilst we are clear that our role will be to help people have a safe and enjoyable evening, I would remind anyone who is out and intent on causing any problems for others we won't tolerate any anti-social or threatening behaviour," he said. "Anyone who causes problems for other revellers or the emergency services can expect to spend the night in custody." Jesus, 19, had surgery in Barcelona on Thursday after being taken off after 15 minutes of Monday's 2-0 Premier League win at Bournemouth. "He comes back at the end of the season or next season. People say between two and three months," said Guardiola. The Brazil international completed a £27m move from Palmeiras in January. This content will not work on your device, please check Javascript and cookies are enabled or update your browser Metatarsals are the five long bones in the forefoot which connect the ankle bones to those of the toes. The first is linked to the big toe and the fifth, on the outer foot, links to the little toe. Together, the five metatarsals act as a unit to help share the load of the body, and they move position to cope with uneven ground. Injuries usually occur as a result of a direct blow to the foot, a twisting injury or over-use. Medical experts recommend rest with no exercise and sport for four to eight weeks. The patient might be asked to wear walking boots or stiff-soled shoes to protect the injury while it heals. If the cause is over-use, then treatment can vary hugely. Training habits, equipment used and athletic technique should all be investigated. It all depends on the damage and which metatarsal bone is involved. It is impossible to put a timescale on recovery from a stress injury. With an impact fracture, after the plaster and protective boot is not needed (usually after four to six weeks), it will be a case of exercise and increasing weight-bearing activities. Ice packs, strapping and even the use of oxygen tents can be used to assist recovery. Full return to action can be anything from another four weeks and upwards - depending on the extent of initial damage. Young bones heal quicker. The 26 successful claims for damages at the force cost £328,100 in compensation and £260,900 in legal costs. They included one officer hurt by a colleague's baton as they tried to break a car window and one who fell from a faulty office chair. The force said it took health and safety "extremely seriously". Another officer was injured when a colleague opened a car door on them during a pursuit, a defective car park barrier injured one officer, while another's claim came after a trip in a "dark corridor". Payments were also made for an asbestos-related disease and the stress caused to an officer exposed to HIV. Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale said officers faced "dangerous situations on a daily basis" and the force had "robust liability insurance". Accidents involving officers dropped by 7.5% in the past year, he added. He said: "We are responsible for our employees when they are on duty and when we fall short of meeting that responsibility, they are entitled to protection under the law and seek redress through the courts. "Compensation payouts are only made following the assessment of appropriate medical evidence by our legal team, insurers and solicitors, who then make a recommendation to the force as to what payment should be made." The force has made £126m cuts since 2010, and is expected to make £23m savings in the current financial year. The six-hole team event was introduced to broaden the sport's appeal. Teams of two players hit tee shots on each hole and, after selecting the best tee shot, the players take alternate shots until the hole is completed. "I like the sound of it, I like what they're trying to do to make it more exciting," he told BBC Radio Wales. He continued: "We won't know how well it goes down until the end of the week but it does seem very exciting. It's six holes, a shoot-out, the golf course is very scorable." Donaldson, 41, will partner with fellow Welshman Bradley Dredge for Saturday's opener at the St Albans course. The pair will face off against Australia, USA and Portugal in their group for the two-day event, with the top two teams from four groups progressing to a knockout stage on day two. "It's something a bit different. It's just how will it go down, we don't know until it's finished," Donaldson continued. "They have picked the holes that you can be the most aggressive on to make it as exciting as possible. "It's going to be really quick. Around the hour mark and done. It's going to be one of those formats which you've got to make a lot of birdies quick and early." Conservation charity WWF says more than a third of the animal's mountain living areas could become uninhabitable because of climate change. It says plants and trees there are not able to survive in warmer temperatures. The report describes snow leopards as one of the most beautiful and enigmatic big cats. "But it is also one of the most elusive and endangered," it says. WWF says that the animal is threatened not just because of climate change but also because of a combination of other factors including: Climate change will exacerbate most of these threats, the report says, further increasing the pressure on snow leopards and reducing them to unsustainable numbers in many areas. "The Himalayas region will face a major crisis if we choose to ignore climate change. Not only do we risk losing majestic species such as the snow leopard, but hundreds of millions of people who rely on water flowing from these mountains may be affected," WWF-UK's Snow Leopard Programme Lead Rebecca May said. The charity says that India, Nepal and Bhutan's success in increasing the number of endangered species such as tigers and rhinos could be replicated for snow leopards The UK government has proposed telling benefit claimants two weeks in advance that payments are to be cut off, giving them more time to appeal. SNP social justice spokeswoman Eilidh Whiteford said "tinkering around the edges" of the system would not resolve "the deep flaws at its core". The UK government said the new method would "strike the right balance". Under the current system, benefits are cut off immediately when a claimant fails to comply with rules set by the Department for Work and Pensions. The system came under criticism when it emerged that 58% of people who lodged appeals in 2014 were successful in having sanctions overturned. The new proposals, to be trialled in Scotland in 2016, would see claimants given a "yellow card" or warning when a sanction was triggered, giving them 14 days to appeal and provide evidence. In October Iain Duncan Smith, the UK government's work and pensions secretary, said: "During this time, claimants will have another opportunity to provide further evidence to explain their non-compliance. "We will then review this information before deciding whether a sanction remains appropriate. We expect that this will strike the right balance between enforcing the claimant commitment and fairness." The SNP has called for sanctions to be scrapped altogether but said a two-week warning was "better than no warning at all". Dr Whiteford said withdrawing welfare payments "clearly does not work", and said the "yellow card" system was acknowledgement of that. She said: "We are told that the yellow-card warning will be trialled in Scotland but we have had no detail on which parts of Scotland or even how the system will be rolled out. "But tinkering around the edges of the DWP's sanctions system is not going to resolve the deep flaws at its core; the government's own figures show that half of all sanctions were later overturned on appeal and the Poverty Alliance, Trussell Trust, Crisis and many more frontline organisations have said that sanctions simply do not work in getting people back to work. "So while a two-week warning is better than no warning at all for someone who is about to lose their welfare payments it is unacceptable for the Tories to paper over the cracks while failing to address the very real issues at the heart of the DWP's sanctions regime."

Helsingborgs' 23-year stay in Allsvenskan came to an end on Sunday when they lost 2-1 to Halmstads. Larsson's 19-year-old son Jordan, a striker for Helsingborgs, was assaulted by masked fans after the final whistle. Fans also attempted to confront Henrik Larsson, 45. The former Sweden forward, who also played for Feyenoord, Barcelona and Manchester United, had been head coach of the team since January 2015. "Myself, the board, Henrik Larsson and the rest of the leadership team, together with the players, in solidarity bear the responsibility for this relegation," club director Mats-Ola Schulze said in a statement. "I, together with the board, want to thank Henrik for the comprehensive restructuring that has been done in the football organisation during 2015 and 2016," he added.

Former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson has left his role as Helsingborgs head coach following the five-time Swedish champions' relegation from the top flight.

The review by the National Audit Office said last year this cost nearly £500m - almost a fifth of all spending on maternity. Public Accounts Committee chairwoman Margaret Hodge said the figure was "absolutely scandalous". The Department of Health said the NHS is one of the safest places in the world to have a baby. Having a baby is the most common reason for admission to hospital in England. The number of births has increased by almost a quarter in the last decade, reaching nearly 700,000 live births. The public spending watchdog said maternity services were generally good for women and babies, but there was still a lot of scope for improvement. Its report highlighted "wide unexplained variations" between trusts in rates of complications such as readmissions, injuries and infections. Laura Blackwell, director of health value for money studies at the National Audit Office, told the BBC the number of maternity claims had risen significantly in recent years. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, she said: "There has been an increase in claims and we don't cover exactly why. It is the same across the NHS. "I think it's a complicated picture... further complicated by the fact it takes an average of four years for a claim to be settled... so it's quite hard to draw conclusions about the current state of care." The NAO also pointed to a shortage of midwives and consultants on labour wards. The report concluded that a further 2,300 midwives are required, though their distribution across England varies substantially. And although it said the level of consultant presence has improved, more than half of units are not meeting the standard recommended by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The report noted that between April and September last year more than a quarter of maternity units were closed to admissions for at least half a day because demand outstripped capacity. Clinical negligence claims for maternity have risen by 80% in the last five years. The cost of cover last year was £482m, and the average payment per claim was £277,000. Figures from the NHS Litigation Authority released last year showed the health service in England paid out more than £3bn in compensation claims linked to maternity care between 2000 and 2010. Ms Hodge said: "I find it absolutely scandalous that one fifth of all funding for maternity services, equivalent to around £700 per birth, is spent on clinical negligence cover." She said the NAO report had shown an urgent need to improve maternity services. "The department needs to buck up and take responsibility for this. It needs to review its monitoring and reporting process to ensure that all relevant bodies can work effectively together to deliver maternity services that are value for money and fit for purpose." James (not his real name), a recipient of medical negligence money, told the Today programme the money had helped give his son a better quality of life. He and his wife did not claim for negligence until six months after the birth of their son, when they realised the costs involved in his care. Their son had been starved of oxygen during birth and now suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy, severe brain damage, visual impairment and epilepsy. Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter said the health service should always learn from any mistakes to improve patient care in the future. "The NHS remains one of the safest places in the world to have a baby, but on rare occasions care falls below acceptable standards and unsafe care should never be tolerated." He said the service was making progress. "This report shows that most women have good outcomes and positive experiences of maternity care. We know 84% of women now say they have good care, which has gone up from 75% six years ago. But we are determined to improve further." Royal College of Midwives chief executive Cathy Warwick said the report backed up what the college had been saying for a long time. "We are many thousands of midwives short of the number needed to deliver safe, high quality care. Births are at a 40-year high and other figures out this week show that this is set to continue. As the report states, births are also becoming increasingly complex putting even more demands on midwives and maternity services." Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president Dr David Richmond said the NAO report raised valid concerns. "Although the UK is generally a safe place for women to give birth, we have known for some time that pressure on maternity services is growing in some areas, particularly inner city conurbations, placing stress on clinicians, managers and patients alike."

The NHS spends nearly £700 on clinical negligence cover for every live birth in England, a report says.

Davies worked under Rodgers at Swansea and Liverpool, and the new Celtic boss is thrilled to bring him to Glasgow. "I am delighted to bring Chris to Celtic, he is a magnificent coach and someone I know will make a hugely positive contribution to the club. "He is ready and prepared for the challenge at Celtic," Rodgers said. Davies, 31, will start work at Celtic on 1 June and is relishing the challenge of working with the Scottish champions. "Celtic is a huge club with such a special place in world football," he said. "It is a great honour and a proud moment for me to be named assistant manager. "I saw the scenes at Celtic Park on Monday and there are not many clubs or fans in the world who could have put on such a show. "We know what Celtic fans bring to the club and we want to reward our fans every week with entertaining football that gets results." Davies knows Rodgers well having played under him in the Reading youth team. Rodgers then took his old team-mate with him to join his coaching staff at Swansea and again at Liverpool. "I have worked with Brendan over a number of years, as a player and a coach, and it will be fantastic to team up with him again," Davies continued. "I know all about his affection for Celtic and his appetite for taking on this great job. "I am looking forward to meeting all the players and staff and working with them to give the supporters a team to be proud of."

Celtic have continued the overhaul of their managerial team by appointing Reading first-team coach Chris Davies as Brendan Rodgers' assistant.

The unregulated exams have to be taken by primary school children to enter most grammar schools. They have been in operation for seven years since the 11-plus exam was scrapped by Martin McGuinness, who was then education minister. There have been attempts to create a single, unofficial exam. However, efforts to find a common transfer test have so far failed. Ms Foster said change was possible. "People have felt that because there are two tests that it can be quite pressurised for children when they are taking those tests," she told the BBC's Inside Politics programme. "Children have to take tests over a long period of time. "We will look at that, we will talk to the people involved, we will see if that can be done for this year. "It's something that I think can be done." Most grammar schools have been using unregulated tests to select pupils since 2008, when the 11-plus exam was scrapped. The numbers of entrants taking the transfer tests rose again in 2015-16. There are two testing systems - GL assessment exams are mostly used by Catholic schools, while AQE exams are mostly used by controlled schools. Currently, children aged 10 and 11 in primary seven can opt to sit either exam, both GL and AQE tests or none. The 2015-2016 academic year is the seventh year the unregulated tests have been run and the number of children taking them has increased. There were a total of 14,575 entrants to the tests this year, although some children will have sat both tests. A total of 7,772 pupils sat this year's AQE exam - the exam body's highest number of entrants since the unofficial tests began - and an increase from 7290 in 2014-15. The number sitting this year's GL assessment decreased from 7061 in 2014-15 to 6803, but this was due to Ballymena Academy switching from GL to the AQE exam. A number of grammar schools in the Catholic sector have announced that they will no longer decide their intake by academic selection in recent years.

First Minister Arlene Foster has said she wants to address one of the biggest issues in education in Northern Ireland - the transfer tests.

Research conducted by ESPN The Magazine and Sportingintelligence found City pay an average annual wage of £5.3m to its first-team players, which works out as £102,653 per week. Six of the top 10 in the list are football clubs, with baseball (two) and basketball (two) also represented. Premier League clubs Manchester United (8), Chelsea (10), Arsenal (11) and Liverpool (20) are all in the top 20. Manchester City, purchased by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, are reported to pay their players more than Major League Baseball teams New York Yankees and LA Dodgers, who are second and third in the survey. Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona take the next two spots. The La Liga clubs, who face each other in the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday, both pay their first-team players an average of more than £4.9m a year. Premier League champions United have an average wage of £4.3m, while current league leaders Liverpool award £3.4m per man. "The Global Sports Salaries Survey looks solely at earnings for playing sport, not for endorsements or other extra-curricular activities," states the Sportingintelligence website. "The 2014 report considers 294 teams in 15 leagues in 12 countries across seven different sports: football, baseball, basketball, gridiron, cricket, ice hockey and Aussie Rules football. The report looks at numbers from either current or most recently completed seasons, depending on availability of accounts and other information." Although the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls are the only National Basketball Association teams in the top 10, the league is the highest paying with its 441 players each earning an average salary of £2.98m.Manchester City are one of 76 clubs being investigated by Uefa over a possible breach of its Financial Fair Play rules.

The Met Office has issued yellow "be aware" warnings for further snow in north and west Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England on Friday. Ice is also expected to affect parts of the country, including north-east England. Below is a selection of images from areas which have already experienced a frosty sprinkling of snow. The well-known Angel of the North took on a paler hue in Gateshead, in Tyne and Wear. Motorists faced disruption as snow fell on major routes across England, including on the A1 near Newcastle. These sheep settled into the cold snap of weather in the hills of Abington, Scotland. Important checks for damage were made by air on the train line to Fort William, Scotland. The snow did not stop some - like this rider dashing through the snow on their horse in Middleham, Yorkshire. And this surfer was not put off by icy temperatures as he made his way to the beach to ride the waves at Portrush in Antrim, Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, one dog had plenty of fun running through the snowy fields of Bath. Other rural areas hit by snow overnight included Swaledale, North Yorkshire. Frosty conditions meant a snow plough had to clear the road for motorists in Tyndrum, Scotland. The Peak District was also covered by the white stuff, as this gate in Buxton shows.

A cold weather system has seen snow falling in many parts of the UK.

They lost 1-0 at Carmarthen Town on Saturday while rivals Bala Town beat Cardiff Met 3-1 having on Friday. That meant TNS failed to win the title earlier than any other side since the league switched to 12 teams in 2010. The defeat by Carmarthen also means the Saints' 31-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end. After setting a new world record of 27 consecutive wins earlier in the season, TNS retained the Nathaniel MG League Cup with victory over Barry Town in January and manager Craig Harrison now wants the league secured as soon as possible. "You want to win every single game," Harrison said before their defeat at Carmarthen. "Winning football games is enough to motivate me and I've got a likeminded group of staff, a likeminded chairman and likeminded players." "I certainly don't get bored of winning and it's something I came into football for." Saints' domination of Welsh football has seen them winning the domestic Welsh treble of the league, Welsh Cup and League Cup for each of the previous two seasons. Despite their unprecedented success and having won the league by a clear seven points in 2015-16, Harrison was not afraid to make changes to his playing squad last summer. "A lot of people said it was going to be the hardest season we were going to have," Harrison told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "People said we weren't going to win the league at a canter this year and maybe not even at all. "A lot of clubs invested heavily and bought some very good players - Connah's Quay, Bangor City and Bala strengthened. "It was important that we went out and that we recruited players of a very high standard. "We had a bit of a turnaround with the squad with three or four going out and three or four coming in and it's been fantastic. "The players have been fantastic from the first game of the domestic season." Saints had come into the current Welsh Premier League season after losing to Apoel Nicosia of Cyprus in the Champions League. They have not progressed beyond the competition's second qualifying round during Harrison's time in charge and the manager wants emulate domestic wins in Europe. The 39-year-old is inspired by the achievements of League of Ireland sides Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers, who have reached the Europa League group stages during the past six seasons. "We're certainly not going to take our eye off the Welsh Premier League because you've got to win that to get into the Champions League," Harrison said. "You don't want to take your eye off the here and now and winning domestic titles because that's your bread and butter and it get you into the Champions League. "But we all know that we need to start trying to get to the third and fourth qualifying round or even the Europa League group stages. "You look at Dundalk, who are a huge inspiration for a club like ours and are probably not much bigger. "It's probably the same budget and they got to the group stages of the Europa League. Media playback is not supported on this device "Shamrock Rovers did the same thing five or six years ago so it's something that certainly is our next step." Saints have already gained international recognition for their achievements this season. In December the Oswestry-based club broke a 44-year-old world record held by Dutch giants Ajax for the longest winning streak in top-flight football. "Breaking the world record put us on a global scale," Harrison added. "We weren't taking it as seriously as what people were making it out to be. You can't compare TNS to Johan Cruyff's Ajax team and all those top drawer players. "But in our own way we're very proud of that of record. To win 27 games in a row in any standard is a huge achievement and a huge feat." Harrison's successful five years at Park Hall - in which he has guided the club to 12 domestic trophies - has seen his name linked with clubs in the English pyramid. The former Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace player admits there has been interest from elsewhere, but for now he is fully focused on achieving further glory with Saints. "At this moment in time I'm very happy but I am an ambitious manager. I want to manage as high up as I can," Harrison added. "We've won one trophy (Nathaniel MG Cup) and we're in a great position to win the Welsh Cup with a quarter final against Bangor City. "And in a week's time we're in the semi-finals of the Irn-Bru Cup against St Mirren. "The Irn-Bru Cup has been fantastic for TNS because it's almost been like a European experience every other month. "We've had something to prepare for, in and out of the Welsh Premier League."

The New Saints will have to wait at least until they host Bangor City on 4 March if they are to win their 11th Welsh Premier title.

The latest world rankings published saw Wales ranked in eighth position and inside the required top 12 position for Gold Coast qualification. All the home nations have qualified with England ranked third, Northern Ireland 10th and Scotland squeezing in as 12th. The Commonwealth Games will be held between April 4-15.

Wales' netball team has qualified for the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.

New forensic analysis on the teeth of the unidentified "Isdal woman" found chemical traces which may tell investigators where she grew up. The results narrow the search to an area along the French-German border. The case received fresh impetus after journalists from Norway's national broadcaster NRK began an inquiry. The NRK team, which has been researching the case for over a year, hailed the new information as a "major breakthrough". And a scientist at the Norwegian Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos) said the results were "much more specific than I could have dreamed of". The unusual circumstances surrounding the case, and speculation over her mysterious past, have made it an enduring popular mystery for 46 years. Someone had cut the labels off her clothes, and scraped distinctive marks off her belongings - as if to stop her from being identified. And as police started investigating her death, they uncovered a trail of coded messages, disguises, and fake identities - but never cracked the case. Forty-six years later, Norwegian police and NRK journalists have decided to reopen the investigation. This is the story of the Isdal Woman - and the perplexing trail of clues she left behind. NRK's investigation discovered the Isdal woman's jaw had been preserved in a forensic archive - opening up the chance that modern scientific methods could reveal more about her origins. Investigators at Kripos and University of Bergen started an isotope analysis on her teeth - looking at the chemical "signature" left as her teeth were being formed. It is the first time Norwegian police have used the technique - but the findings have been so specific they may now make it much easier to find people who knew the woman. "It's actually quite a narrowed-down area that she most probably originated from," associate professor Jurian Hoogewerff at the University of Canberra in Australia - an expert in the technique - told NRK (in Norwegian). Past analysis of her DNA and handwriting has already suggested the Isdal woman may have come from Europe - possibly France. "When I superimpose the maps, we can exclude several areas. The red sections show the highest probability of her whereabouts during the time when her teeth where formed," he said. "This is much more specific than I could have dreamed of. I'm impressed that it's possible to get results like these and actually make these probability maps," a chemist at Kripos, Knut-Endre SjÃ¥stad, said. The head of the forensic identification team, Per Angel, told NRK: "This is a good reason to go into these specific areas with more focus. "We should approach our European colleagues with this new specific information." Because the isotope analysis tracks compounds absorbed at specific stages of tooth development, the researchers now think the Isdal woman moved from eastern or central Europe further west between childhood and adolescence. And while the age of the woman at the time her death was unknown, some of the indicators in the teeth suggest she may have moved just before or during World War II, NRK reports. NRK's investigative reporters have been working on the mystery for over a year. "I am starting to believe that we might actually find her real identity," team member Marit Higraff said. "Now the area that we have to comb is much smaller than even we had hoped for. Maybe this 46-year-old mystery can come to an end." The Wales under-20 wing scored a spectacular try for his country in their Six Nations victory over Italy. The 18-year old will graduate from the Scarlets academy this summer, having already featured in the Anglo-Welsh Cup against Bath and for Llanelli RFC. "Having grown up in west Wales playing for the Scarlets is something that I've always aspired to," he said. "Hopefully I'll have more opportunities." Security researcher Hugo Teso was able to "hijack" the systems to feed false navigation information to a simulated jet that made it change course. Mr Teso built his simulator using spare parts from real jets for sale on the eBay auction site. Authorities say actual flight computers are not compromised by his work but want to find out more. The loopholes in the flight management system were detailed by Mr Teso during a presentation to the Hack In The Box conference in Amsterdam. Mr Teso, who is also a qualified commercial pilot, said he had spent the past four years investigating the many different computer and data systems found on aircraft which help them fly and navigate safely. "I expected them to have security issues but I did not expect them to be so easy to spot," he said. "I thought I would have to fight hard to get into them but it was not that difficult." Mr Teso set out to find a way to subvert the flight management systems (FMS) found on many different aircraft. He planned to feed them fake or booby-trapped data via well-known radio communication systems. Old aviation equipment was bought via eBay to help Mr Teso interrogate the code these systems ran. This hardware was used to build a simulated aircraft that ran many of the systems found on commercial aircraft and could swap data via radio with the air traffic and navigation systems used in the real world. The lab work produced an attack toolkit that could influence the FMS of the simulated aircraft as it was "in flight". "I can influence the guidance and navigation of the aircraft," he told the BBC, adding that the system had "limitations". "It requires some careful planning and timing to achieve results," he said. Despite this, he said, publicity about the talk had led the European Aviation and Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration to get in touch seeking more details. Now, he said, Mr Teso and n.runs, the German security company he works for, are setting up meetings to pass on his findings. In a statement, EASA said it was aware of Mr Teso's work and presentation. "This presentation was based on a PC training simulator and did not reveal potential vulnerabilities on actual flying systems," it said. "There are major differences between a PC-based training FMS software and an embedded FMS software." The version used on flight desks was hardened to avoid many of the loopholes found in the training systems, it added. Mr Teso said there was little risk that malicious hackers would be able to use what he found. "You would have to have solid knowledge of aviation and its protocols and that's not easy to get," he said, adding that he planned to keep on with the research. He said there were lots of other "approach vectors" for hacking aircraft systems. The fighting saw the highest concentration of Scots involved in any World War One campaign. Of the 120 battalions that took part at Arras, 44 of them were Scottish. Descendants of troops will join schoolchildren from across Scotland for the commemorations at Arras and Edinburgh Castle. Arras was fought from 9 April to 16 May 1917 and marked the beginning of the spring offensive on the Western Front. The Allies suffered 159,000 casualties, including 46,000 Scots, during the offensive. The moderator of the Church of Scotland will conduct a service at Faubourg d'Amiens Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Arras while the Royal Regiment of Scotland band will conduct a Beating Retreat in the Place des Heros. In Edinburgh, a service will take place in the Scottish National War Memorial, followed by a Beating Retreat by the HM Royal Marines Scotland band on Edinburgh Castle Esplanade. Among those attending the event in Arras will be the moderator's wife, Margaret Barr. She plans to lay flowers on the grave of her great uncle, David Wyllie, who lost his life in battle at the age of 29. Born in 1888 and the eldest son of Robert and Jane Wyllie from North Berwick, David was fatally injured by gunshots during the six-week offensive. He joined up, despite being exempt because of his occupation as a farmhand. He later sent postcards home of quaint French villages with their names blacked out so they could not be used by the enemy to target troops. The only hint of the terrible conditions he experienced was a line in a letter that said he had just been in "bad weather and bad trenches, so we had anything but a pleasant time of it." And replying to a letter saying the family now had two cars, he said: "I would not mind if I was at home again having a run around in them." He was killed not long after sending that letter. Mrs Barr still has the telegram that was sent to David Wyllie's father informing him of his son's death. Speaking ahead of the ceremony in France, she said: "It's a huge privilege to go out to Arras and represent the family, and to lay a wreath. It will be quite poignant. I will go and see his grave at Duisans Cemetery and lay flowers there. "I think my father would be very proud and happy that one of his family will be there at the ceremony. "It will be a very emotional day." Joining the commemorations in Edinburgh will be Margery Mackay, whose Uncle Donald also fought in the battle and died on 28 April 1917 after being caught in an ambush. He had joined up in September 1914 and went 31 months without leave before he found himself on the front line in Arras. She said: "It was only after the loses in the Somme that the regiment was moved to Arras." Mrs Mackay became interested in his story after finding and reading his last letter home. She said: "He seemed to be just an average ordinary man of the day, who really felt that they had to go and fight. In his letter he talks about his family and really seemed to care for them." She added: "I really don't think they knew what they were getting into and they ended up in such horrific conditions, but in his letter he talks about being in the army for 31 months, not having had any leave and that his conduct was good. "He still sounded quite sane and he still sounded as if he was prepared to do his duty and I just feel this is almost like a last chance to remember him." Security sources say gunmen seized the woman and her Yemeni driver on Tuesday morning as she was going to work. The French foreign ministry, which closed its embassy in Sanaa in February, said it was trying to locate and free the woman. It gave no further details, but urged French citizens to leave the country. Yemen is a base for al-Qaeda-affiliated militants and foreigners have been targets of kidnappings in the past. The security situation in the country sharply deteriorated after President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi resigned in January following a takeover by a Shia militia group, the Houthis. On Saturday he escaped his house arrest and fled to the southern city of Aden where he has since said he is withdrawing his resignation and resuming his duties, and has branded all measures adopted by the Houthis "null and illegitimate". In its first official statement since the Mr Hadi's departure from the capital, the Houthi group said the president had lost his legitimacy as head of state and was being sought as a fugitive of justice. The political turmoil which followed the takeover caused several countries, including France, to close their diplomatic missions, withdraw staff and call on their nationals to leave the country. The pilot and a passenger died after the aircraft came down in a field off Mains Lane, between Whitwell-on-the-Hill and Wellburn, officers said. Emergency services were called to the scene near Castle Howard in the Ryedale area at about 10:40 BST. The Air Accident Investigation Branch has launched an inquiry. Police are yet to confirm the victims' identities. Supt Mark Grange, from North Yorkshire Police, said the plane was still mostly intact when it landed more than 200m away from the nearest houses. "It looks like it came straight down," he said. "It looks like an aircraft, with two wings and a tail fin where it should be. "It's in a bad way and it's obviously come down heavily. It's sat on its underside so it has not flipped. "Whether they tried to land like that I don't know." Eyewitness Andrew Moutrie, 54, from Hovingham, said he was on his way to a football match when he came across the crash scene near the A64. "It looks like the aircraft attempted a crash landing. It looks like it came through the hedge towards the field," he said. Supt Grange said the site had been declared safe by the fire service after "worries about the amount of fuel" from the plane. "We're just preserving the scene until the air investigation branch attend. That's anticipated at about six this evening and then we'll be directed as to the next steps really around the recovery phase," he added. A cordon has been placed around the crash site and the public has been advised to avoid the area. A number of roads have also been closed. North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said three crews were sent to the scene - two from Malton and another from York. A spokesman said up to 20 firefighters attended the crash site and a foam blanket had been placed around the aircraft in case it caught fire. Sturridge, making his first league start since October, headed home before James Milner's free-kick crept in after being missed by keeper Mark Bunn. Emre Can rifled in a shot, Divock Origi slotted home and Nathaniel Clyne bundled in to add to the Reds' lead. Kolo Toure headed in a sixth as Villa were punished for a poor performance. Media playback is not supported on this device The home side's disgruntled fans started streaming out of Villa Park following Liverpool's fifth after 65 minutes and there were plenty of empty seats at the final whistle. It is the first time Villa have conceded six at home in a league game since October 1983 and leaves the Midlands side eight points from safety with 12 games left. Relive Liverpool's win over Aston Villa Follow Manchester City v Tottenham Sturridge was making his first league start since manager Jurgen Klopp took over in October in only his eighth appearance of an injury-hit campaign. He was not mentioned by Roy Hodgson when the England manager was speaking about his striking options on Match of the Day on Saturday. Sturridge did not take long to remind people of his qualities as he nodded in for his fifth goal of the season, while he also had an effort well saved by keeper Bunn following a good move. The 26-year-old certainly gave Liverpool a greater cutting edge in attack and Klopp had the luxury of taking him off after 62 minutes as he eased him back with the League Cup final against Manchester City on 28 February in mind. "It was great to be back but it was more important that the team won," said Sturridge. "It was great to get so many goals." Villa went into the game in better form than Liverpool, with eight points from their last six league outings compared to five for the Reds. However, any hope it was the start of some kind of great escape quickly dissolved. Villa had a doomed look about them as the game became a damage limitation exercise with their crowd booing their side off at the break and the final whistle. Their performance was littered with poor defending, a lack of discipline and individual mistakes, with Remi Garde's team letting in four goals in 13 second-half minutes. A consolation goal even deserted Villa when Scott Sinclair's late curler hit the woodwork in their heaviest defeat of the season. Liverpool not only had the boost of having Sturridge back but the return of Philippe Coutinho was also an important factor. The Brazilian playmaker has also returned from injury this week and provided two assists as he gave the visitors a constant menace in attack. Liverpool had a look of strength with Sturridge, Coutinho and Roberto Firmino in attack and Jordan Henderson, Can and Milner in midfield. "It makes a difference having both Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge are on the pitch," said Klopp. "You can only play them when they are fit and available." Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "We are not in the most easy moment at Liverpool. That is not pessimistic, that is the truth. "It is hard work and you need to be ready for it. We want to change things with work and this was good for the soul. We have needed 26 games to get a positive goal difference." Liverpool are next in action when they resume their Europa League campaign with a trip to Augsburg on Thursday, 18 February for the first leg of their last-32 tie. Aston Villa play again on Saturday, 27 February when they visit Stoke. It cited lax regulation, poor safety inspections and a slow and badly-coordinated coast guard response as factors that led to the disaster. Eleven officials have been referred to prosecutors on corruption charges and dozens more face possible legal action. The ferry sinking killed 304 passengers, most of whom were students. A total of 293 bodies have been recovered and 11 passengers remain unaccounted for. Search operations are still continuing. The disaster sparked national mourning and intense public criticism of the government. Two separate trials, one for the ferry's captain and crew, and another for the head of the ferry operator and other company officials, began last month. The South Korean government's audit and inspection board said in its report on Tuesday that the regional port administration had licensed the ferry even though it had been illegally converted, according to state news agency Yonhap. The ship was found to have been illegally modified so that it could carry more cargo. The Korean Register of Shipping, which is a body appointed by the government to inspect ships, also did not carry out proper safety check-ups. The report also said the coast guard missed a crucial period to rescue passengers and botched its rescue operations. The agency failed to maintain proper communication with the ferry and issued ill-matched rescue orders. Meanwhile the trial of the ferry's captain and 14 crew members continued on Tuesday in the city of Gwangju, with video evidence from inside the stricken ship shown in court. The BBC's Lucy Williamson says prosecutors have alleged that the more than 300 deaths were avoidable had the crew acted differently. They said they would show footage of a young passenger standing metres from an exit door as the ship sank. The gallery was packed with parents of victims, who jeered and shouted at the defendants when a video of the captain and crew jumping into a rescue boat was shown, according to agencies. During a break in proceedings, some parents harangued the judge and defendants, and one woman tried to throw her shoes at the dock. The 24-year-old, who has appeared in eight Tests and 24 one-day games for Zimbabwe, has said his long-term ambition is to qualify for England. "Playing county cricket has been an ambition of mine for a number of years," Jarvis told the club website. "My future is with Lancashire, with an end goal of potentially becoming English-qualified in the future." Jarvis, who has 30 Test wickets and has twice taken five in an innings against West Indies and New Zealand, has sacrificed his place in the Zimbabwe national team to join Lancashire. He continued: "I have loved my time playing for Zimbabwe. I am extremely grateful for the part they have played in my development, but I feel the time is right to take on a new challenge and a new career. "Reaching this decision has been an incredibly difficult process, but I intend to make a home for myself in Manchester and hope my stay at Lancashire far outlasts this initial contract." Zimbabwe Cricket released a statement on Monday confirming Jarvis's decision to move to England. The Red Rose county say Jarvis will join them as a non-overseas player, subject to registration, and will link up with them "in the near future". Bell was groomed and abused by George Ormond between the ages of 12 and 16 while playing for the Montagu and North Fenham boys football club. Ormond was jailed for six years in 2002 after being found guilty of a string of sexual assaults on young boys. Bell says he went to Ormond's house in the late 1990s with "a 12-inch knife" but the ex-coach was not at home. Ormond became involved in youth coaching at Newcastle United around this period before leaving the club, reportedly in October 1998. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live Daily, Bell said he was working for a housing department in Newcastle when he spotted Ormond in the grounds of a hostel. This prompted him to go round to Ormond's house. "I was going to kill the guy. I thought, 'no, I can't live any more, everywhere I seem to go he's there'," Bell said. "This brought back all the memories to the forefront of my head, and I wanted to kill the guy. "I went to his house with a 12-inch knife hidden in my pocket, and I kicked his door in. Luckily for him, that evening, he wasn't in." Bell, who played for Newcastle in the early 1980s, says Ormond subjected him to "horrific, horrific" abuse on "hundreds" of occasions. After going round to Ormond's house with a knife, Bell returned "a couple of days later" with a hidden tape recorder in an attempt to expose his crimes. He added: "I just asked him the questions 'Why, why, why?' What was his motivation to find a need to constantly abuse me, threaten me, bribe me, befriend my family? "And not one time did he say he was sorry. He just said 'I don't know why'. His main aim was 'you're not going to tell the police, are you?'" Bell added that the effects of the abuse led him to attempt to take his own life on three occasions and be sectioned until the Mental Health Act. "I've come forward to raise awareness and help victims who are coming forward," he said. "I've been through the court system, I've been through different things, so if I can give people help and support... be brave, don't be ashamed." Media playback is not supported on this device Dino Nocivelli, a child abuse solicitor at Bolt Burdon Kemp, told BBC sports editor Dan Roan that there could be large compensation payouts as a result of historical abuse claims from victims like Bell. "A compensation claim is likely to be an important aspect for a lot of the survivors," said Nocivelli. "Lots haven't had an admission from the sporting institutions, lots of them haven't had an appreciation of the damage to them as a person and we are not just talking about the physical and psychological abuse - it's the aggravating factor. "In addition, they may need private psychiatric treatment and we do need to consider loss of earnings, because it's not just looking towards the past but also looking forward. The payouts in these cases could be huge." The Senate passed a bill to rename the square on Friday, but it still needs congress and presidential approval. Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the bill violated accepted norms of international relations. Liu, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was jailed for subversion in 2009. He won the Nobel in 2010 for his fight for "a more open and democratic China". If it the bill does become law, the Chinese embassy's address would change from 3505 International Plaza to 1 Liu Xiaobo Plaza. On Tuesday, Mr Hong said China "firmly opposes that", saying it "would cause severe consequences". "We urge the US Congress to stop the approval procedure of the bill. We also hope that the US administration can put an end to this political farce." A State Department spokesman noted on Tuesday that the White House had indicated President Barack Obama would veto the bill. "We view this kind of legislative action as something that only complicates our efforts, so we oppose this approach," he said. Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, who proposed the bill, has argued it would make a stand on China's imprisonment of dissidents. He has likened it to a 1980s decision to rename the street in front of the Soviet Embassy in Washington after dissident Andrei Sakharov. It is not the first time Republicans have attempted to rename the street. Mr Cruz had previously attempted to introduce the bill twice last year, but both times was blocked by Democrat senator Dianne Feinstein, who argued that diplomacy would be a better way to negotiate the release of dissidents. Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is comedian and actor Omid Djalili. Djalili, who is currently touring the country, is a Chelsea season-ticket holder and has been a fan since 1970 when, aged four, he watched his local club win the FA Cup. "It was really the colour blue that did it," he told BBC Sport. "They wore a beautiful royal blue shirt and I liked their badge too. "I saw a kid wearing their shirt and I was enchanted by it." Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top with 10 games to go but, like many fellow Blues fans, Djalili does not think the title race is done and dusted yet. "It is not over at all," he said. "Anything could happen. We could get a couple of injuries and a team can go down the pan very quickly. "I remember what happened to Newcastle in 1995-96, when they were 12 points clear in January. Yes, it was at a slightly earlier stage, but anything can happen and in football nothing would surprise me." While Antonio Conte's team chase a Premier League and FA Cup Double, Blues midfielder N'Golo Kante is expected to mop up the individual honours when the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' Association announce the winners of their Player of the Year awards. Djalili's vote would go to one of Kante's team-mates, however. "My player of the season is definitely Eden Hazard, for the way he has changed," he said. "Hazard has basically tapped into his inner child like he has been told to do by Conte, and he has found his love of the game. "When you watch him for the whole game, he wants the ball every time, he is not lazy, he tracks back, I have never seen a bigger transformation in football." You can make your Premier League predictions now and compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game. A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points. All kick-offs 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated. Liverpool v Everton (12:30 BST) Everton are sadly without Seamus Coleman after he broke his leg while playing for the Republic of Ireland, and it will be interesting to see how Ronald Koeman replaces him. Mason Holgate can play there, and he will probably come in, but Coleman will be a big loss. Liverpool are also without one of their key players, Adam Lallana, although the injury he sustained on international duty for England is far less serious. Media playback is not supported on this device I am not a fan of these early kick-offs, which don't often seem to produce much excitement, but I do think this will be an open game. I don't think Everton will go to Anfield and just try to to defend, which is the main reason I am backing Liverpool to win. As everyone knows, when teams do sit in against Liverpool, it normally causes Jurgen Klopp's side problems, but I don't think Koeman is the type of manager who will try it. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Omid's prediction: There are great players on both teams - you would think that Romelu Lukaku would score for Everton, and that the Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho combination would work for Liverpool - but I am going for a very drab draw. 0-0 Preview Burnley v Tottenham Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli both scored for Tottenham in their last game against Southampton and, with Harry Kane injured, it is important they both continue to chip in with goals. But I think Spurs will miss Kane more at Turf Moor, and Burnley will give them a real test, as they have done to all the top teams. Media playback is not supported on this device The Clarets have already beaten Liverpool and drawn with Chelsea at home, and were a bit unlucky to lose to Arsenal and Manchester City. Nobody has gone to Burnley and rolled Sean Dyche's team over, and I think they will pick up another point here as they keep edging towards Premier League safety. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Omid's prediction: I am hoping for a Burnley win, and I think the Clarets will score - but Tottenham are just too good at the moment. 1-2 Preview Chelsea v Crystal Palace Crystal Palace are on a run of three straight wins, and it looks like the Sam Allardyce effect has taken a delayed effect. Chelsea are waiting on Eden Hazard's fitness but, even if he misses out, it is a big ask for the Eagles to extend that run of good form. Media playback is not supported on this device Antonio Conte's side are getting so close to the finish line of the title race now, and they can win without playing well. They saw off Stoke in their last match without ever looking that convincing and I think they will find a way to beat Palace too Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Omid's prediction: Conte has been influenced by two of the greatest managers there have ever been - he played under Giovanni Trapattoni and Marcello Lippi. Trapattoni was the most demonstrative person you have ever seen, which is where we see Conte's gesticulations come from, while Lippi was a professor of the game. Conte is demonstrative, with intelligence too, which is a combination you don't see very often - and his hair transplant is extraordinary too. Media playback is not supported on this device I like the bald look but I would like to get the name and number of the person who did that because it is the greatest. I did not even realise it was a transplant - it was only when I saw pictures of him playing for Juventus that I realised he was as bald as a coot. I don't know how he has done it, or maintained it - the only other good one is Al Pacino, who has had a very good one since the 1980s. Maybe the same person did his hair too? As for the game, I think it is going to be very entertaining. Palace are going to come out fighting and I am expecting a strong first half from them, but I don't think they will score and Chelsea will run out easy winners. 2-0 Preview Hull City v West Ham West Ham seem to have slipped back into some bad habits from the start of the season. They are on a five-game winless run, including three straight defeats, and of course when that happens all the stories about the manager's future start coming out. Hull were well beaten by Everton in their last match but you know what? I think they will edge this one. I am not just saying that, either - their home form under Marco Silva is actually pretty good - they are unbeaten in six games under him in all competitions at the KCOM Stadium, and won five of them. So, it has taken me until the start of April, but I have finally tipped the Tigers to win a game. Now they need to go out and actually pick up the three points as well, because they badly need them in their relegation fight. Lawro's prediction: 1-0 Omid's prediction: My heart says a Hull win but I am going for a draw. 1-1 Preview Leicester City v Stoke City Leicester cannot stop winning under Craig Shakespeare - they have now won three on the bounce in the Premier League, as well as making Champions League progress. What's behind it? Well, Shakespeare has not changed much since his side beat Liverpool in his first game in charge at the end of February. Media playback is not supported on this device It is working, because his players look lively again - Jamie Vardy was just like his old self when he was on international duty with England. I fancy the Foxes to win this one too. Stoke have had some mixed results of late, and although they won't roll over I don't see them stopping Leicester's momentum. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Omid's prediction: 1-1 Preview Man Utd v West Brom I am at Old Trafford on Saturday for BBC Radio 5 live and it will be interesting to see how Manchester United line up. United are missing Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Paul Pogba through injury and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still suspended, but Jose Mourinho has a big enough squad to cope. West Brom will make it very difficult for them, as per usual, but I still think United have got enough quality to create chances and, if they take them, they will win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Omid's prediction: I think the stick from the Chelsea fans for Jose Mourinho is greatly, greatly misunderstood. When we beat United 4-0 in October, people were singing his name with great warmth to say 'look, we still love you'. Mourinho told Conte not to rile the crowd because it was humiliating, but I was there and he took it the wrong way. Although I like Mourinho, United are playing some drab football. West Brom did not surprise anyone by beating Arsenal in their last game, but I think they might surprise a few people on Saturday. 1-3 Preview Watford v Sunderland Watford have only taken one point from their past four games and are the team looking the most likely to slide into relegation trouble. I think the Hornets will stop their slump at the weekend, however, unless Sunderland manage a massive improvement on their recent performances. The Black Cats have been starting games fairly strongly recently but, if they don't score, they tend to just fade away. The reality of the situation now for David Moyes is that his side need at least three wins - and quickly - just to get some parity with the teams sitting above the relegation zone. But Moyes is not a magician who can just conjure that up. It is hard to see where their next victory will come from, and the games are running out. Lawro's prediction: 2-1 Omid's prediction: I think Troy Deeney will score for Watford but I would back Jermain Defoe to get two for Sunderland - he will show everyone what he can do. 1-2 Preview Southampton v Bournemouth (17:30 BST) The two south coast sides are level on points at the moment, in 10th and 11th, although Southampton have two games in hand on their neighbours. Bournemouth will be happy with that return because they look safe now, while Saints are probably disappointed not to be higher up the table. Southampton turned Bournemouth over when they met earlier in the season but I don't think they will repeat that at St Mary's. The Cherries were slipping down the table until they stopped the rot with wins in their past two games, and they now know they will be fine. Local pride is at stake here, just as it is on Merseyside earlier on Saturday, and I can see Bournemouth putting up a decent fight and leaving with a point. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Omid's prediction: 4-3 Preview Swansea City v Middlesbrough (13:30 BST) Swansea will look at this as a game they need to win for several reasons, one of which is they will go eight points above Middlesbrough if they do. The Welsh side need to get back on track after back-to-back defeats that have seen them slip back down the table towards the relegation zone. Middlesbrough, who have gone 11 league games without a win, remain in much deeper trouble and still badly need to increase their goal threat. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Omid's prediction: I am only basing these predictions on footballing reasons, and the fact I am going to Swansea on tour should have no bearing on this matter. But think Swansea are going to spank Boro. 3-0 Arsenal v Man City (16:00 BST) The whole Arsenal saga is becoming a bit laughable to be honest with you. It is the same thing every week - manager Arsene Wenger is asked if he is staying, and if Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are staying. Media playback is not supported on this device Nobody seems to know what is happening and the club seems to be a little bit rudderless at the moment. It is really unusual that Arsenal, who are normally so well run, have allowed things to reach this stage. The uncertainty has affected results too and, after four defeats in their past five league games, the Gunners have ground to make up in the race for the top four. But Manchester City have also dropped a few points recently, with two successive draws. I think they will make it three in a row at Emirates Stadium. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Omid's prediction: We are due some kind of Arsenal fightback. I think they will rally, but I can only see a City win. 1-3 Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. *Does not include scores from postponed games. Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy) Lawro's worst score: 20 points (week 28, but only five games played so far) or 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista) For the round of fixtures before the international break, Lawro got seven correct results, including one perfect score, from 10 matches for a total of 100 points. He beat boxer Anthony Crolla, who got four correct results, including one perfect score, for a tally of 70 points. The deputy secretary general's comments come in the wake of an announcement last week that only 19 of the continent's 55 members will take part in the 2018 Under-20 World Cup qualifiers. A total of 24 teams entered the qualification process for the 2012 tournament held in Japan. Goshime told BBC Africa Sport that the reduction in the number of entries is further proof that the women's game continues to be neglected across Africa. She said: "Women's football has always been and still is not a high concern in some federations. "In some, it's the first to suffer when there is a budget problem." Each federation must have a women's football development department Goshime said despite Fifa's global push to promote women's football, it remains underfunded and ignored by all-male establishments in Africa. "There is a lot of focus given to women's football at Fifa level, but that needs to flow down to every member association. "Each federation must have a women's football development department supported financially and through capacity building programs." A series of initiatives to promote women's football have been launched in some countries in recent years but the results have been abysmal. Junior female football already has deep roots in many parts of the world, especially Asia, Europe and the United States, but Africa is woefully behind. Very few countries have proper league structures in place - including Zimbabwe, one of the continent's two representatives at the 2016 Rio Olympics. "It's not just federations but Caf is also not taking any measures to ensure that federations focus on women's football development." Caf, indeed, raised questions about their commitment to women's football when they announced prize money for their respective tournaments last year. The men's Africa Cup of Nations winners get $4 million while their female counterparts pick up a paltry $200,000. Despite the fact that many African nations have not devoted the necessary resources and attention to women's football at grassroots or senior levels, Goshime remains optimistic about the future but only if "women's football becomes a priority". And even closer economic ties between the UK and US are in the "overwhelming interest of both countries", he has written in the Wall Street Journal. Although the UK is leaving the EU, "we are not quitting the world", he said. He is due to travel to New York, Singapore and China for talks with major investors in the coming weeks. The UK is the largest trading partner in Europe for the United States, and in turn the US is the largest single destination for UK exports. UK exports to the US totalled £88bn in 2014 - about 17% of total UK exports - and last year the UK was the US's sixth largest trading partner. Mr Osborne said: "While Britain's decision to leave the EU clearly presents economic challenges, we now have to do everything we can to make the UK the most attractive place in the world to do business. "Britain and the US have been at the forefront of open trade in the last 200 years and pursuing a stronger relationship with our biggest trading partners is now a top priority. "That's why I am travelling to the US, China and Singapore in the coming weeks and why my message to the world is that Britain may be leaving the EU, but we are not quitting the world." The chancellor said the UK would continue to be "a beacon for free trade, democracy and security, more open to that world than ever". Mr Osborne will be meeting finance leaders in New York on Monday, and has spoken to Paul Ryan, speaker of the US House of Representatives, twice in recent weeks. He will also meet US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in London this week. And in the Wall Street Journal he said the question now "is not what Britain is leaving; it is what Britain will become". "One lesson of the referendum is that too many of our citizens feel economic progress is no longer benefiting them. "Ever-higher welfare to make good lost incomes is not the answer; attracting private investment and good jobs beyond our major cities is. "By managing day-to-day spending, we should commit to major investments in national infrastructure, including new roads, high-speed railways and digital networks." Most of the victims died in the province of Buenos Aires, where winds reached speeds of more than 100km (60 miles) an hour, toppling trees and causing roofs to cave in. A teenager was electrocuted in the city of Santa Fe, in the north-east, when he stepped on a downed power cable. Many neighbourhoods in the capital, Buenos Aires, were left without power as cables snapped in the strong winds. Residents said unseasonably hot and humid weather gave way to the violent storm. Some local media reported squalls of up to 120km (75 miles) an hour. City streets were blocked by fallen trees and masonry blown off roofs. Ten people were injured when the roof of a church was lifted by the strong winds and fell onto passengers waiting for a bus some 40m (40 yards) along the road. Most of the casualties were crushed by fallen trees and masonry, while others were electrocuted by downed power cables. Buenos Aires city official Diego Santilli said the storm felt like a tornado and described it as "an inferno". He said clean-up crews were clearing the streets of the debris and restoring power to cut-off areas. Officials in Seoul said efforts were under way to rescue two sailors found on a life raft, Yonhap news agency reports. On Friday, a crew member sent a text saying the Stellar Daisy freighter was taking on water. The Uruguayan navy alerted merchant ships in the area, which began a search. A navy spokesman said they had reported a strong smell of fuel. The ship, a Very Large Ore Carrier (VLOC) with a capacity of 260,000 tonnes, was being operated by a South Korean company but was flagged to the Marshall Islands, and had eight Filipinos and 16 Koreans on board. It had departed from Brazil, reports said. The 42-year-old intruder walked into the private function at a pub on Saturday night and tried to steal handbags, the venue said. When guests confronted him, a scuffle broke out and he severed a 47-year-old man's fingertip, according to police. The intruder was charged by police with an assault offence. The victim's finger could not be saved, local media said. The pub's licence holder, Fred Holovinsky, said experienced staff including a security guard were present at the time. "But when somebody comes and creates a problem, you cannot control that," he said. "(And) when you have got 50 or 60 people who take offence at somebody trying to steal a lady's handbag, how are you going to control that?" The wounded man was taken to hospital for treatment and later released. It was not the only violence on the night - police were later forced to break up a fight outside the pub. Sgt David Evans, from Shropshire, is "heartbroken" at the prospect of not being able to keep four-year-old Ivy when he retires, his daughter said. She set up an online petition to gather support for her father, who is stepping down in April after 34 years' service. The chief constable has "made a direct offer" to speak to Sgt Evans. Police dogs normally retire about age eight. Latest reaction to the petition Sgt Evans, 59, has been told he will have to pass the animal - a Malinois cross German Shepherd - on to another handler to continue working, the family said. Source: West Mercia Police The petition has been signed by people from as far afield as Canada and New Zealand. Daughter Jennie said the response was "incredible". She said Sgt Evans, of Market Drayton, had offered to buy Ivy and cover the cost of replacing her. Ms Evans said: "Dad sacrificed many family moments with the support of his wife to enable him to undergo months of training with his police dogs. "West Mercia need to show they appreciate these efforts and do not treat dogs as dispensable equipment that can be 'handed down' to other people." West Mercia Police said Chief Constable Anthony Bangham "recognises the unique bond between an officer and his dog and has made a direct offer to speak to the officer personally about this". A seat on the high court has been vacant since the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia last year. Former President Barack Obama's attempt to fill the seat was rebuffed by Republicans, who argued it should be determined by the incoming president. Three US appeals court judges are among the top picks for the appointment. According to US media reports, three conservative judges who were appointed by Republican former President George W Bush are under close consideration for the role. Neil Gorsuch: Mr Gorsuch, who lives in Denver, Colorado, has served on the 10 US Circuit Court of Appeals since 2006. The 49-year-old is the youngest of the group and boasts an academic pedigree typical of Supreme Court Justices (Columbia University, Harvard Law School and at Oxford). He also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and previously served as a deputy assistant attorney general at the Justice Department. Mr Gorsuch shares the late Justice Antonin Scalia's strict interpretation of the US constitution, which is that it should be followed as the Founding Fathers intended. Thomas Hardiman: The Philadelphia-based judge, 51, has served since 2007 on the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals - the same court in which the president's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, resides. Mr Hardiman graduated from Notre Dame and Georgetown Law School, which would make him the court's only justice without an Ivy League degree. He was the first person in his family to go to college and supported himself in law school by driving a taxi. Mr Hardiman has supported gun rights and police powers, including a case in which he sided with jails seeking to strip-search all inmates. William Pryor: The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals judge, 54, lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He previously served as Alabama's attorney general, preceding Senator Jeff Sessions, Mr Trump's choice for US attorney general. Mr Pryor has criticised the Supreme Court's 1973 landmark abortion ruling Roe v Wade as "the worst abomination of constitutional law". He also came under fire from conservatives for siding with a transgender woman who sued for sex discrimination in 2011. Mr Trump announced his plans in a tweet on Wednesday: "I will be making my Supreme Court pick on Thursday of next week. Thank you!" The lifelong appointment requires confirmation by the US Senate, which is controlled by Republicans with a 52-48 majority. But Mr Trump's nominee would need 60 votes if Democrats deploy a filibuster. Justice Scalia's death last February prompted a battle in Congress that became central to the contentious presidential election between Mr Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. Conservatives are determined to fill the vacant position and restore their 5-4 majority in terms of the nine-seat court's ideological leanings. But Democrats have pledged to try to block the president's impending nomination after the Republican-led Senate last year refused to consider Mr Obama's nominee, appeals court judge Merrick Garland. Some Democrats remain concerned that Mr Trump's pick, which would tip the court in favour of conservatives, could lead to the high court rolling back rulings on issues including abortion, civil rights, government regulations and the environment. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer said on Tuesday congressional Democrats would be willing to leave the high-profile appointment open if Mr Trump does not appoint a "mainstream nominee". The legendary Paralympian believes Cardiff's hosting of the World Half Marathon should prompt an attempt to bring the games to her home country. Cardiff staged what were then known as the Empire Games in 1958. "We just have to be a bit brave and a bit bold and go for it because the Commonwealth Games is a brilliant event," said Baroness Grey-Thompson. In July 2014, Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones said there was no guarantee Wales would bid to host a future Games. But Baroness Grey-Thompson said the half marathon won by Kenya's Geoffrey Kamworor could only help a bid. Media playback is not supported on this device Australia's Gold Coast will host the 2018 Commonwealth Games while Durban in South Africa is the 2022 destination. Baroness Grey-Thompson says financial backing for a bid from Wales would need to be solid, adding: "A lot of the venues are already here in the south Wales area and we do know it brings in money, it brings in people, it brings in tourism." Britain's Mo Farah won bronze behind Kenya's Geoffrey Kamworor in wind and rain in the Welsh capital on Saturday and the double Olympic and world champion backed the Cardiff course. "It was fast. I'm sure Geoffrey will say the same thing," Farah said. "It's quite a fast course, even though it's got a little bit uphill. "If conditions were clear, we would definitely have seen [a time] close to a world record." Baroness Grey-Thompson said hosting the World Half Marathon Championships was "part of a stepping stone" to hosting other events. "In future years, even without it being a World Championship, there's a whole pile of runners from the rest of the UK and around the world who will see how fast this course is and will want to come and run it," she said. "So we won't always be able to measure the benefits, but actually for Welsh Athletics, British Athletics - those benefits will be there." Wales' former Olympic 400m runner Jamie Baulch backed up her view, saying: "We hosted an amazing event, the times were fantastic, the performances were there and Mo Farah was competing. "I think it's just looking on course to get us the Commonwealth Games in 10 years' time." So-called Islamic State (IS), the Sunni Muslim militant group, has said it was behind Saturday's attack on members of the Shia Muslim Hazara minority. In a televised address, President Ashraf Ghani vowed to take revenge against those responsible. The UN mission in Afghanistan has described the attack as a "war crime". Tadamichi Yamamoto, head of the UN assistance mission, said the attackers had specifically targeted a large number of civilians. What is behind the power line protest? Islamic State group: The full story Sunnis and Shia: Islam's ancient schism On Saturday, the IS-linked Amaq news agency said two fighters had detonated explosive belts at a "gathering of Shia" in Deh Mazang square. Correspondents say the statement suggests an intention to foment sectarian strife. Thousands of members of the Hazara minority were protesting over a new power line, saying its route bypasses provinces where many of them live. The Taliban, Afghanistan's most prominent Islamist militant group, condemned the attack. IS has a presence in eastern Afghanistan but this is the first time it has admitted carrying out attacks in the capital. An Afghan intelligence source told the BBC an IS commander named Abo Ali had sent three jihadists from the Achen district of Nangarhar province to carry out the Kabul attack. Only one attacker successfully detonated his explosives, the interior ministry said. The belt of the second failed to explode and the third attacker was killed by security forces, the source said. Declaring Sunday a day of national mourning, Mr Ghani said: "I promise you I will take revenge against the culprits." He had earlier issued a statement saying that peaceful protest was the right of every citizen and that "opportunist terrorists" had infiltrated the crowd. The Hazaras - mostly Shia Muslims - live mainly in the centre of the country. They have long complained of discrimination. During Taliban rule in the late 1990s, many of them fled to Pakistan, Iran and Tajikistan. And from the moment hundreds of Yeovil fans gathered outside Huish Park's main entrance three hours before kick-off to await the arrival of Wayne Rooney, Radamel Falcao and company, this was an occasion giving the lie to the claims that the FA Cup has lost its lustre. The romance of the competition would have had Yeovil, rooted to the bottom of League One despite the best efforts of their excellent manager Gary Johnson, unseating the Premier League superpower and sending Van Gaal and his players back to Old Trafford in embarrassment. It was not to be, as goals from Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria, almost £90m worth of summer transfer acquisitions, restored reality above romance as United won 2-0 to leave Yeovil to their fight for League One survival and Van Gaal on course for what he believes is his quickest route to success. And yet, despite the brutal conclusion, there was so much to encourage those who still believe in the FA Cup as the world's greatest knockout competition. No other tournament offers days like this. It was alien territory for Van Gaal as United dipped down into the Somerset - with even the possibility of some sight-seeing at Stonehenge en route on the A303 as he returned home a very satisfied man. For the Dutchman, this was ultimately gladioli rather than death but Yeovil can claim so many of the bouquets that were being handed out at the final whistle. Before the game, Yeovil's fans entered into the spirit with a mischievous "We Wanted City" banner and while Johnson warned his players not to be starstruck - banning "selfies" with United's players - his club threw out the red carpet to all-comers on their big day. Such was the appeal of a glamour tie against a Premier League side that on the very day the Glovers were preparing for the game, Accrington Stanley - beaten by Yeovil in a second-round replay last month - announced their plans to mark the fact they had the possibility of facing United in the FA Cup with commemorative tickets for a game with the Red Devils that will not happen. At least, not this season. The odds were against Yeovil. In two previous FA Cup meetings with United, they lost 3-0 in 1938 and 8-0 some 11 years later. Since beating Sunderland in 1948 they had lost their last eight FA Cup ties against top-flight opposition, whereas United had lost only once to lower league opposition in their last 39 FA Cup ties, when they were defeated 1-0 by then League One leaders Leeds United at Old Trafford in 2010. These were odds they could not overcome. Huish Park was sold out well in advance and the media were not only welcomed in a specially built marquee, they were also provided with prime seats within touching distance of the action. Seat AA 006 in The Screwfix Community Stand even allowed those of us whose best playing days are behind us to get two touches of the ball in an FA Cup tie. Glory days - albeit both passes failed to find their target. Yeovil's fans initially blocked this perfect view as they gathered on the touchline to watch United warm up, Rooney being greeted with some jeers but also plenty of applause. Once the view cleared, a trademark FA Cup tie unfolded, with a top-flight side fending off a potential giant-killing. Media playback is not supported on this device It was also the perfect vantage point to appreciate the qualities on display, such as the sheer energy of Rooney, the occasionally magical first touch of Falcao and the sweat-stained levels of commitment from Yeovil, which will surely result in better days should it be repeated in the coming weeks in League One. It was also a place where the passion and pain of players searching for FA Cup success could be heard, literally, in a first-half clash of heads between Paddy McNair and Kieffer Moore that left both players heavily bandaged but still determined to carry on. The FA Cup throws up moments of sadness as well as glory and in this case the sadness went to 22-year-old Moore, signed from Dorchester Town in 2013, who seemed to freeze when presented with a perfect chance to put Yeovil ahead after 55 minutes, his hesitant finish claimed comfortably by United keeper David De Gea. At eye-level just feet from the pitch, it was also the ideal position to witness the industry which makes Rooney so vital to United and England. It gave an even greater perspective on the manner in which he arrives all over the pitch, in defence, midfield and attack, to assist United's cause. This is what marks Rooney out - a willingness to do the dirty work and drive his team to victory against lower league opposition on a freezing FA Cup third round night in Somerset as well as against elite opposition. Yeovil will return to their battle to move up League One. The next stop is Barnsley on Saturday before Bradford City are welcomed to Huish Park on 17 January. Different world. Grim reality. And despite this defeat, Yeovil captain Joseph Edwards, a Manchester United fan, was able to claim the souvenir he will treasure forever when he got his hands on Rooney's shirt. His family had postponed a skiing holiday to be present and that prize may just act as consolation for a defeat that was expected but still painful. As Yeovil manager Johnson conducted his post-match debrief, the marquee where he was addressing the media was suddenly filled with the sound of a helicopter on take-off. "Is that Sir Alex?" he asked, before praising Van Gaal for his generosity and his team's performance. Van Gaal may have claimed the gladioli but Yeovil - players, manager, club and supporters - can take their share of the glory on a day and occasion when they embraced the FA Cup spirit and proved it is still alive and well. An investigation by MPs found placing youngsters far from home could encourage them to abscond - leaving them then at risk of sexual abuse. Their report calls for an independent investigation into the homes system. Children's Minister Tim Loughton said "urgent steps" would be taken. Much of the criticism by the all-party parliamentary groups on children in care and on runaways and missing people focuses on homes where about 5,000 of the 65,000 of those in care are looked after. The report, which was first highlighted by BBC Two's Newsnight programme earlier this month, says the system of residential care is "not fit for purpose" for children who go missing. It says many older children who have complex needs are placed in residential care that is poor quality and unsuitable, often a long way from home, family and friends. The children can be extremely vulnerable and need support, but this is often not picked up if they are facing further abuse or exploitation. Some professionals view them as troublesome, promiscuous or criminals, it added. The findings come a month after the conviction of nine men in Rochdale for sexually exploiting young girls. One of the girls was in care at the time and all were said to have been known to social services at some point. Labour MP Ann Coffey, chairwoman of the all-party parliamentary group for Runaway and Missing Children and Adults, said: "There is a scandal going on in England involving children missing from care. "This inquiry has revealed the widespread concern that what we have in place at the moment falls dramatically short of what is needed to protect some of society's most vulnerable children. "We know that dangerous predators are exploiting large gaps in the system and targeting children." She said 46% of children in care homes were from another home town and it needed to made clear whether this was for the welfare of the child or "simply to do with insufficiency of accommodation". The report calls for a scorecard system to rate local authorities, an end to barriers which prevent police knowing the location of children's homes and a new system for reporting runaways from care. It also highlights a lack of training for staff, too much reliance on agency workers and "poor quality" placements in children's homes. Councillor David Simmonds, chairman of the Local Government Association's children and young people's board, said the report made uncomfortable reading, although he said there was a "statistical fog" as a result of the way data on missing children was collected by different agencies. For example, the care register requires a child be reported as missing to police if they are not in the children's home at a required time "even if they know where that child is and if they are safe". On the question of children being placed away from their home town, he said: "Sometimes for children, being close to home is actually part of the problem. They may be aware that children are being groomed for sexual abuse and will want to get them away." Ofsted is also criticised in the report for a tick-box approach to its inspections of care homes, but has rejected this, saying it has overhauled its work in the last two years. An Ofsted spokesman added: "There is no doubt that the system is currently failing some very vulnerable children. "In its inspections of children's homes, Ofsted regards the issue of missing children as one of the main indicators of the quality of care. The inquiry rightly highlights the barriers which prevent us sharing information about the location of children's homes with local police forces. "We agree that this is something that the government needs to consider changing." The children's minister said the government had recently outlined plans to tackle child sexual exploitation. The report went to the "heart of some serious weaknesses in the current system, which leave far too many of the most vulnerable children in society exposed to harm and danger", he added. Mr Loughton said: "It is completely unacceptable that existing rules are simply being ignored and... some local authorities and children's homes are letting down children by failing to act as a proper 'parent'. "We are looking in detail at all the issues raised and will set out urgent next steps in the coming weeks." Media playback is not supported on this device The 52-year-old South African is the bookmakers' favourite for the post, which Lancaster vacated on Wednesday. Following a review into England's early World Cup elimination, the Rugby Football Union said it would now begin a "global search" for a coach. New Zealand assistant coach Wayne Smith, who had been linked with the post, said he was taking a break. He told the BBC: "I'm being clear with everyone that I'm not coaching full-time in 2016. "I've had 29 years in the game as a coach and it's time for a break. I'll see what 2017 and beyond brings." Smith, 58, is taking a sabbatical having helped the All Blacks win the World Cup last month. White, meanwhile, guided South Africa to success in France in 2007. A two-time IRB Coach of the Year, he has since coached the Brumbies and the Sharks in Super Rugby, and is currently in charge of French Top 14 side Montpellier. Media playback is not supported on this device Speaking to Sky Sports on Wednesday, the South African reiterated comments he had previously made about the England job. He said: "If they genuinely think a foreign coach is the right way forward and it is genuine they think it is me, it would be naive of me to say I was not interested." England became the first sole host nation to be eliminated in the group stage of a Rugby World Cup, after defeats by Wales and Australia. A review into their performance followed, which led to 46-year-old Lancaster leaving his position. RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie has not ruled out approaching a coach already under contract and said money was no object in the search for the next head coach. Former England scrum-half Matt Dawson said England should pay whatever it takes, telling BBC Radio 5 live: "Get your chequebook and start paying. Be as arrogant as everyone thinks we are... £1m, £2m, £5m - I don't care." He added: "We seem to be blooding coaches for whom it is the be all and end all of their lives. There needs to be a no-fear environment." Bath head coach Mike Ford, who has recently signed a new four-year deal with the Premiership club, has ruled himself out. "I have got to win something yet," he said on BBC Radio 5 live. "I wouldn't rule it out in four years' time. I need to do these next four years, if not longer, at Bath Rugby before I feel I'm ready for an international head coach's job." West Sussex County Council said it had struck a deal to buy the 19.6-acre former Novartis site in Horsham for an undisclosed sum. Swiss-based Novartis closed its research plant last year, with the loss of over 300 jobs. The council said the business park for health and life sciences would bring up to 1,000 new jobs to the area. The cost of the development is expected to be covered by housing on one third of the site. Council leaders said companies would be attracted by strong road links to London, the south coast and Gatwick airport. "Our vision is to create a world-renowned centre of excellence, building on the site's respected history with Novartis," said council leader Louise Goldsmith. "It will deliver a science and business park that will help stimulate further growth in the sector, provide high-quality jobs for the county and provide support for small, innovative start-up businesses." Novartis said it expected to complete negotiations with the council for the sale by early summer. "If the new campus becomes a health and life sciences hub for the region as West Sussex County Council intend, it will also help to realise our ambition of leaving a scientific legacy at the site," said UK general manager Hugh O'Dowd. A man entered Knockinlaw Stores on Knockinlaw Road in the town at about 17:45 on Saturday. Police said he demanded money from a 51-year-old woman who worked in the shop and escaped with a three-figure sum of cash. The woman was uninjured but left "extremely shaken". Detectives appealed for anyone with information to come forward. The man was described as of medium build. He was wearing a dark hat and had a scarf wrapped round his face. He was also wearing a blue hooded jacket and dark jogging trousers. Det Insp William McDicken said: "Luckily the woman working in the shop at the time was uninjured, however she is extremely shaken by this robbery. "Enquiries are ongoing in the local area to gather more information on the man responsible and officers have also been gathering CCTV footage to identify him. "At this time, I would urge anyone who witnessed the robbery or who saw a man matching his description in the area around the time of the robbery to contact police." A late try from the 22-year-old ensured Newcastle preserved their perfect home record in the competition, although they failed to make the quarter-finals. Falcons are bottom in the Premiership, one point behind London Irish. "It was mainly a matter of building momentum and we've done that," Hammersley told BBC Newcastle. "We didn't think it was a dead game going in but obviously with results yesterday we knew unless Connacht slipped up it was pretty much over." The end of their European campaign leaves Falcons with 10 consecutive Premiership matches, starting with third-placed Harlequins at Kingston Park on Sunday. "We have got a lot of teams we would fancy ourselves against coming here in the next few weeks," the Hull-born player said. "They [Harlequins] lost last night to Montpellier, but they are a great team so it's going to be another tough test up here. "But we're three from three here and unbeaten in the new year here so bring them on."

Jones officially starts at Twickenham on Tuesday, and has said he will meet the 29-year-old before deciding whether to keep him on as England captain. But, after Quins' narrow 26-25 loss at Exeter, O'Shea singled the flanker out, saying: "Chris Robshaw was outstanding. "I hope people take a long, hard look before they start writing him off." Jones' predecessor Stuart Lancaster departed following a disappointing World Cup campaign which saw England make a pool-stage exit. Robshaw, who has captained his country 42 times, has been criticised too for his performances in the defeats by Wales and Australia. But O'Shea praised his performance as Quins secured two losing bonus points from a dramatic encounter in dreadful weather conditions in Devon, which could have gone either way right to the last kick, as the visitors missed a late penalty. "He has been one of the outstanding back-row forwards in this country for many a year," said O'Shea. "I don't normally single out players but he made yards today when you didn't think he could make yards. "He was turning the ball over, he was tackling, he was working. I am gutted for us as a team, but I am incredibly proud of the performance." England's Six Nations campaign begins at Murrayfield against World Cup quarter-finalists Scotland on 6 February. The third-round qualifier looked to be heading to extra-time but the Chill Chartha forward sent the decisive point over from the edge of the 45. Donegal had gone three points up when Ryan McHugh dived to palm in a goal. But gutsy Meath hit back straight away with Cillian O'Sullivan following up to net and make it 1-12 each. Donegal will now face one of the beaten provincial finalists and victory will put the 2012 winners into the last eight of the All-Ireland Championship. Meath had been underdogs against Rory Gallagher's men but they pushed the Ulster men all the way at Pairc Tailteann. The sides were level on seven points each after a closely-contested first half, Donal Lenihan landing three frees for the hosts and McBrearty scoring three points for Donegal. The sides were level again on 0-12 each when McHugh finished off a move involving Martin McElhinney and Eoghan Bán Gallagher. But Donegal's three-point cushion quickly disappeared as O'Sullivan pounced after a good save by keeper Mark Anthony McGinley. Bryan Menton briefly edged Meath into the lead but ultimately it was McBrearty who landed the decisive point. Media playback is not supported on this device The German, needing to beat team-mate Lewis Hamilton to retain his slim title hopes, headed Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat. The session marked the start of what promises to be a difficult weekend, with Austin, Texas, expected to be affected by heavy storms and rainfall. This is due to Hurricane Patricia, the strongest tropical storm ever recorded, which is heading towards Mexico. Overnight and morning rain stopped before the first session but is expected to return ahead of the second session at 14:00 local time (20:00 BST) before worsening overnight. Weather forecasts predict extreme levels of rain on Saturday, perhaps as much as eight to 12 inches falling in one day in certain places. That raises the very real possibility that qualifying could be delayed until Sunday morning. The conditions on Friday morning here might well be the best until Sunday, but running was limited as teams tried to restrict their use of the wet and intermediate tyres. They have only three sets of the heavily treaded 'extreme wets' and four of the shallower-treaded 'intermediates' for the entire weekend and these will need to be in their best condition in qualifying and the race. Rosberg, who set his time relatively early in the session, was 1.235 seconds quicker than Kvyat. Media playback is not supported on this device The Russian's team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was third fastest, just under 0.4secs behind his fellow Red Bull driver and only 0.075secs quicker than Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz. Hamilton was fifth, 1.704secs slower than Rosberg and 0.017secs quicker than Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. The Briton needs to beat Vettel by nine points and Rosberg by two to clinch the title this weekend. A victory with Rosberg second and Vettel third would be enough for the Englishman to clinch his third title. His task was eased when it emerged that both Ferrari drivers will have 10-place grid penalties for using a fifth engine this weekend. United States GP practice results United States GP coverage details The 30-year-old reached three figures off 78 balls as the hosts took control of the third Test match in Sydney. Warner, who was out for 113, is the first batsman to hit a century in the opening session of a Test in Australia. Fellow opener Matt Renshaw, 20, scored his first Test century, ending unbeaten on 167 to help Australia reach 365-3. Renshaw, who was born in England, shared an opening stand of 151 with Warner and went on to bring up his century off 201 balls, despite being struck on the helmet by Mohammad Amir. Warner, meanwhile, smashed 17 fours to reach his hundred four minutes before lunch, falling to Wahab Riaz soon after the interval. He follows fellow Australians Victor Trumper, Charles Macartney and Donald Bradman, and Pakistan's Majid Khan, in achieving the feat. Batsmen who have scored centuries before lunch on day one of a Test match: It is the fourth time Warner has made a Test century in fewer than 100 balls, and his third consecutive ton in Tests at the Sydney Cricket Ground. "It's a honour and privilege to be amongst the greats of the game," he said. "It wasn't something in the back of my mind to go out and score a 100 in a session. It was about going out there with intent and batting positive." Bill Lawry, commentating on Australia's Nine Network, described it as a "great moment for Test cricket". Warner's feat also won widespread praise from fans, including champion wheelchair racer Kurt Fearnley. Australia lead the three-match series 2-0. The wounded bird was found at the side of the road between Heriot and Innerleithen on 24 July. It was taken to a local vet but had to be put to sleep due to the extent of its injuries. Tests have now shown that the bird was hit by pellets from a shotgun and the Scottish SPCA is appealing for information about the incident. An undercover inspector said: "A post mortem revealed the buzzard had been hit with a shotgun, with a pellet in its head and damage to its wing. "As the bird did not die outright it would have suffered a great deal of pain and distress. "We believe this was a deliberate act which would constitute an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981." The charity said its inquiries so far had not produced any leads and urged anyone with information to get in touch. Craig Walker took the seat on Fife Council with 2,539 votes, 896 more than Labour's Alan Seath (1,643). The Tories polled 202 votes, UKIP 146 and the Lib Dems 61.

"I'm not accepted in Britain because I'm a Gypsy and that will never change," said Fury, 27. The WBA and WBO title-holder added: "The Klitschko fight will be my last in Britain. Get past him and I'm away." Manchester fighter Fury has previously spoken about the online abuse he receives for being part of the Traveller community. "This country has been waiting for me for 120 years but when I finally arrived, people called me a bum," he said. "So I'm moving to America, where champions are appreciated. "I made the decision last week to move to Los Angeles, where they admire success and big talking. I was made for America. "I'm going to where millionaires are welcome - and I'm a millionaire now. Media playback is not supported on this device "Every Brit that wants to make it in life has to go to America. If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere." Fury, who is undefeated in 25 professional fights, stunned the boxing world by outpointing Klitschko, who had not been beaten for 11 years, in Dusseldorf. But his comments on homosexuality, paedophilia and women saw more than 100,000 people sign an online petition in an attempt to get him removed from the BBC's 2015 Sports Personality of the Year shortlist. Fury apologised at the award ceremony last December. Gomez, 33, was considered the main rival to Yorkshire brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, splitting the pair to claim silver at London 2012. The Spaniard has won three consecutive International Triathlon Union World Championship titles, and five overall. Revealing the injury on Facebook, Gomez wrote: "I will keep fighting, I have many goals, I'm not done yet." British Triathlon performance director Brendan Purcell described the fact Gomez will not challenge the Brownlees in Rio as "terrible news". "Javier is such a talented athlete and you want the best athletes to be racing on the biggest stage of all," he said. "While Javier is perhaps the biggest threat and rival to Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee's prospects, his presence would also be an asset." Gomez, who was born in Switzerland, said he was "disappointed" but "realistic" over his chances of recovery from an injury caused by a "silly crash". "There is no time to prepare and to be fit on the start line of the Games," he said. "The most sensible thing is to open my spot and allow someone else the chance to race." The blaze, on the top floor of the University of Bristol flats in Colston Street, is thought to have started in a kitchen at about 13:00 BST on Monday. No-one was hurt when debris rained down on the street below, and inspectors have begun to assess the damage. Avon Fire Service said the building is unsafe and the street will remain closed for the rest of the week. A University of Bristol spokesperson said all 121 students living in the flats have been found temporary housing. Bedding, toiletries, food and clothing are being supplied to them. The fire is completely out but fire crews were called back to check on the building overnight after reports of smoke at 04:00 BST. "It was a concern to us how fast that fire went through the roof and we'll be talking to the university about their buildings," said area manager Mark Anderson. Some 40 firefighters worked to bring the flames under control at the height of the fire. The German has named 23 players for the game against Tanzania in Uyo on 3 September in a 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifier. Nigeria cannot qualify for the finals in Gabon, with Egypt claiming the qualifying place from Group G. Arsenal's Alex Iwobi has not been included due to a thigh injury that has ruled him out for four weeks. Also missing is Oghenekaro Etebo, who is at the Olympics with Nigeria and scored four goals in a 5-4 win over Japan in their first match in Brazil.

Check out the clip to see some of his dance moves as well! Clip courtesy of Dover Police Department Five hundred officers, 1,000 support staff and 150 Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) positions may go. The force said its required savings of £59m by 2020 "will only be achieved by reducing officer and staff numbers". South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings described the potential 1,500 job losses as the "worst case scenario". He said no decisions had been made on which areas of force operations would be cut and he wanted a public discussion on how South Yorkshire Police could make savings with new ways of working. "There may be better ways of doing things that are more cost efficient," he told BBC Radio Sheffield. "At the end of the day, there will be an impact on numbers - there is no question of that." 'More pronounced' Neil Bowles, of the front-line officers' union the Police Federation, said cuts had become "more pronounced". "There was a Comprehensive Spending Review by the government last autumn which came up with the next set of cuts," he said. "In 2007, we had over 3,300 police officers and 2,500 members of police staff which included the PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers). "If you cut the police force again to about 2,000 officers, that's a cut of a third. How can we carry on doing the same work we were doing in 2007, let along meet the new and increased demand that is out there?" Mr Bowles said the consequences of the budget cuts would be "less officers on the streets, more instances of officers in cars and less neighbourhood officers". Deputy Chief Constable Andy Holt said: "We are working hard to minimise the impact of this decrease, but with around 90% of the force's budget spent on salaries, we have to review our staffing levels to make such extensive savings." Hot water from the plant in Guardbridge will be used to heat laboratories and student residences in St Andrews. The £25m centre, on the site of a former paper mill, will save up to 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. It will help the university become the first carbon neutral higher education institution in the UK. It is expected that 225 jobs will be created in its construction. The biomass facility will use only virgin roundwood, locally sourced from forests. It will also be used for university research and it is hoped the centre will bring further investment in renewable technologies to Fife. Social Justice Secretary Alex Neil said: "The construction of the Guardbridge energy centre will act as a springboard for the regeneration of the village, which will provide an economic boost for the wider Fife economy. "The centre's projected carbon savings will help the environment and the local area will benefit from the university's commitment to job creation and apprenticeships. "The project also underlines the sector's commitment to innovation and research, backed by significant investment from the Scottish Government." Derek Watson, St Andrews University chief operating officer, said: "Guardbridge represents a major strategic step for the university. "This large industrial site lends itself to the creation of a range of renewable energies which are vital for our efforts to remain one of Europe's leading research institutions. "We believe the diverse range of potential uses for Guardbridge has the capacity to re-establish this huge site as a key economic centre in Fife." Sadiq Khan said the city had lost "thousands of police staff" since 2010 and Cressida Dick said she would "obviously" be seeking extra resources. The call comes as another police chief and the Police Federation called for forces' resources across England to be boosted to fight terrorism. Theresa May said the Met Police force was already "well resourced". Seven people were killed near London Bridge when attackers drove into pedestrians and launched a knife attack. Earlier on Monday, Jeremy Corbyn said Theresa May should pay a price in Thursday's general election for ignoring "repeated warnings" not to cut police numbers and agreed with those calling on her to resign in the wake of the London Bridge attacks. However, the PM said she had protected counter-terror police numbers. Mayor Mr Khan said earlier London received "half the funds we should be receiving - £170m versus £370m". He added: "Over the next four years there are plans to cut a further £400m from our city's policing budget. "There are plans to change the police funding formula which could mean we lose up to £700m on top of that, which leads to a total loss of our policing budget of £1.7bn and we don't receive the right level of funding as a capital city we should receive." Ms Dick, asked whether she would demand additional officers, told ITV's Good Morning Britain she said forces had "become very much more efficient" and needed to "go on doing that in the future". However, she added: "In the face of this changing and changed threat, absolutely I will be seeking for London and for policing generally more resourcing obviously." Mrs May responded, saying the government had "protected counter-terrorism policing budgets" and "funded an uplift in the number of armed police officers." Meanwhile, Devon and Cornwall Police's chief constable said police resources needed to be bolstered across the UK. Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer said all policing areas from counter-terrorism to community policing needed more resources after Saturday's attack. He tweeted: "Irrespective of politics, time to increase police resources in all corners of the UK." On Sunday Mr Sawyer paid tribute to the work of officers who responded in London, writing: "More sadness. Thankfulness for the support of the public our heroic thin blue alongside other public services." A senior firearms commander in the South West has also been critical of the current officer numbers following Saturday's attack. Sgt Harry Tangye said on Twitter: "We the Police protested re cutting our numbers. We were ignored. You can't turn the police tap on instantly. We need to up the numbers now". The police standards watchdog, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, found in March that some forces had "downgraded" 999 calls to help them cope with cuts. The police standards report found: The report concluded that most of England and Wales' 43 forces were providing a good service, however. Officer numbers in Devon and Cornwall dropped from about 3,500 in 2010-11 to about 3,000 in 2016. The force was rated as "requires improvement" in the most recent HMIC inspection. Calum Macleod, vice-chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales also joined calls for "more boots" which he said were "needed on the ground now" to "stop the terrorists before they claim more lives". He said: "We're in danger of sleep-walking towards another tragedy if we don't recognise right now that community policing is on the critical list." The Scottish Police Federation has said officers must not be "considered expendable" when dealing with terrorist attacks. Last year, the local Neighbourhood Partnership voted to ban fishing at St George's Park lake to stop wildlife being harmed by fishing line and hooks. It has now approved an option proposed by Bristol City Council to destroy the fish rather than relocate them. But Maggie Waldon, from the Friends of St George Park Group, said it did not support "outright killing of the fish". The old boating lake, according to Ms Waldon, was stocked with fish about 20 years ago and has been used as a fishing lake for many years. "It's become very run down and there are far too many fish in there to support any kind of ecosystem," she admitted. "We would really like to reduce the number of fish but we don't support the outright killing of the fish. "There are some fish that are very unwell in which case that's fair enough but our policy would be to relocate them and find them new homes." But Rob Acton-Campbell, chairman of the St George Neighbourhood Partnership, said it "would be more expensive to try and move them". "We've tried over the last two years to have a permit scheme to try and manage the fishing, but unfortunately there's still been injuries to the swans and the cygnets," he said. "We were hoping we'd be able to move them somewhere else but the council have had a health check done on the fish and they are very unhealthy. "And there's nowhere really local that we can move them to that would cope with the number of fish that we've got." To welcome visitors, Hariton Pushwagner, 72, has designed an image of a cavernous mouth to transform the facade of the MK Gallery. It seems that stepping on to a projecting tongue is an appropriate introduction to a show of his largely satirical work which targets greed and power. Variously described as "eccentric" and "visionary", Pushwagner's detailed works contain elements of pop art and science fiction, and his existentialism has led to comparisons with Edvard Munch, the man behind The Scream. The Soft City exhibition in Milton Keynes brings together drawings, paintings and prints made by the Oslo-born artist over the last 40 years. Despite being educated at the National Academy of Fine Art and the Cit?? Internationale des Arts Paris, his breakthrough came only in 2008 when the original drawings of his graphic novel Soft City were exhibited at the Berlin Biennale of Contemporary Art. Since then he has quickly earned celebrity status in Norway, where people are fascinated by the rags-to-riches story of a man who lived on the streets for many years and lived a hedonistic lifestyle. It was on the initiative of MK Gallery director Anthony Spira that Pushwagner was invited to show his work in Milton Keynes. "I felt there was a particular aptness about his work being shown in a city established at roughly the same time as Pushwagner was creating these works," he said. "And [Milton Keynes'] utopian ideal and grid square design has some visual affinity with many of his works." Soft City, which depicts disillusion with capitalism and life in the modern city, was created between 1969 and 1974 and all 154 pages are displayed in the exhibition. Mr Spira said that this was probably Pushwagner's "defining work". "It has often been classed as one of the top graphic novels ever made," he said. "The characters in this novel live a completely mechanical existence, they are turned into robots basically." The exhibition, which can be seen until 2 September, also includes The Family of Man, a series of 34 silk screen prints that depict the trappings of power, and show a world under siege from pollution and mass destruction. Meanwhile, in the Long Gallery, the Apocalypse Frieze comprises detailed paintings where factories double up as death camps and the ravages of war are perpetuated under the watchful eye of robotic men in suits. All this will be exhibited alongside the Oblidor Guide Book, a sketchbook that reveals the artist's working process, plus other early work. The exhibition will be complemented by a Norwegian season of video, music and performance events with around 50 Norwegian artists and curators. Following its presentation in Milton Keynes, the exhibition will visit Haugar Vestfold Art Museum, Norway and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Netherlands. UK Oil and Gas (UKOG) now estimates there are 271 million barrels of oil per square mile (mmbo) in the Weald. The total amount of oil in the field has not been revealed. A previous report estimated about 158 mmbo, after exploration at Horse Hill. Friends of the Earth said local people were concerned about pollution. Brenda Pollock, of Friends of the Earth, said: "Today's announcement isn't something to celebrate. "Oil extraction is deeply unpopular. Local people are rightly concerned about more lorries, air and water pollution, noisy drilling and disruption to village life." UKOG said it was planning to drill more exploration wells in the Weald and was assessing the potential of the reserves in the area. Oil has been produced onshore in the South of England for many years. There are currently about a dozen oil production sites across the Weald, an area spanning Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire. Schlumberger produced the new report after analysing data from the Horse Hill well near Horley. UKOG would not be drawn on the amount of oil in total which could be under the Weald. David Lenigas, chairman of UKOG, said: "This really is a change of the model for the potential of oil around the Weal basin, particularly in the Horse Hill area." He said UKOG was planning to drill more exploration wells and would need to conduct flow tests to work out how much of the oil was recoverable. "Fracking is not our agenda, there is plenty of conventional oil in the Horse Hill well, to not even look past that," Mr Lenigas said. Charlie Kronick, senior climate advisor to Greenpeace, said: "We don't need to spend time and money to find more oil in the UK; if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change, we need to find ways to use less oil, and fast. "We're not facing a shortage of oil. The big challenge we face is leaving it in the ground." Analysis: Yvette Austin, environment correspondent, BBC South East This latest report by a second oilfield services company will come as a welcome relief to UK Oil and Gas, as well as the five other companies who have interests in Horse Hill Developments. Nutech Ltd's report in April estimated 158 million barrels of oil per square mile below the Weald Basin and Schlumberger's report today has increased that estimate to 271 million barrels per square mile. But for now, the difference between the two amounts is fairly irrelevant. What counts for the companies is that both are large estimates. Ultimately what really matters is how much of the oil is recoverable. Some experts say it will be very difficult to extract large quantities of oil from the area. In April UKOG said it believed it could recover about 5-15% of the oil in the ground; it isn't adding anything more to that statement today. The company hopes flow testing will begin on the well towards the end of this year. The results of those tests will shed more light on how much can be brought to the surface. The 27-year-old joined the National Women's Soccer League side after an eight-month second spell with Arsenal Ladies, following her bronze medal with the Lionesses at the World Cup. Sanderson admits she is happier, on and off the pitch, in the USA. "It's been the most amazing experience I've ever had," she told BBC Sport. Thorns is the fourth US side that Sanderson has represented, having previously played for Boston Breakers, DC United Women and Philadelphia Independence, as well as gaining experience in Spain and Cyprus. "We get 22,000 fans at every game, we're sold out," she said. "My first home game was bit of a whirlwind, when I came on it's a moment I'll never forget - the cheer was just unbelievable. "I know the best place for me is in America, the professionalism is just unbelievable and the environment is one I thrive in - I just feel like it's healthier. "I'm probably happier in my life now than I've been in a long time." At Thorns, Sanderson joins an already impressive team, which includes fellow World Cup stars Alex Morgan and Tobin Heath (USA), Christine Sinclair (Canada), Nadine Angerer (Germany), as well as her England team-mate Jodie Taylor. "Just being able to train with the calibre of players I have been, it pushes me to another level," she said. "When I came, I had a lot of friends on the team already so I didn't feel any pressure to prove my worth as the girls know my capabilities because I've got quite a big name in America. "That's not in a big headed way but people do know what I'm capable of. "No-one made me feel like they didn't want me there, even if I was coming to play in their position, they know by having me there we can get better and grow together. "That's why I think the Americans are so successful, because they are not threatened by people being good." During her first stint with the Gunners, she won five league titles, four FA Cups and the Uefa Women's Cup in 2007. However, after spending five years away playing in America, Sanderson says she found it too hard to readjust to life back in London. "It was unfortunate it didn't work out," she said. "Personally, I just didn't feel happy in England, it was too much of a change of lifestyle for me and it wasn't because anyone at Arsenal made me feel unhappy. "I certainly didn't come back to Arsenal to only be there for a few months and leave after the World Cup but I didn't know how difficult it was going to be. "I'm not going to make statements that I can't back up but I can't really see myself coming back home to England." Sanderson played a key role in England claiming the bronze medal at this summer's World Cup, winning the decisive penalty in the third/fourth placed play-off win over Germany. Despite being rested by manager Mark Sampson for the forthcoming England Euro 2017 qualifier against Estonia, Sanderson insists her move back to America will not affect her England chances. "Mark's going to pick the best players for that moment and I don't feel that being in America is a hindrance to my international career," Sanderson said. "All of our games are on the internet, most of them are on television and there's people that Mark has scouting in America. "He knows that me being in America is better for me personally and I have a good relationship with Mark. "It doesn't cross my mind that I'm never going to get picked for England again." The MoD challenged Comhairle nan Eilean Siar's decision to grant three crofters permission to build turbines. The comhairle approved plans for two turbines at Bornish and one at Frobost on South Uist. The MoD said wind turbines could interfere with air defence radar systems. It said the machines could produce a false "aircraft-like return" and affect the detection capabilities of radar systems. The risks arose when a certain level of proliferation of turbines in a localised area was exceeded, it added. The MoD raised judicial review proceedings at the Court of Session in Edinburgh over the permissions granted by the comhairle. Following a hearing before judge Lord Doherty the decisions of the comhairle were set aside. Mike Hedges said party members should be offered a left-wing option at the leadership election, when it happens. Stopping short of saying he would run, he said he was one of four AMs who had consistently backed Jeremy Corbyn. Mr Jones has been Welsh Labour leader and first minister since 2009, and has not set a date for his departure. He defeated rivals Edwina Hart and Huw Lewis for the Welsh Labour leadership in 2009 and said in March that at 50 years old he was younger than Theresa May and had given no thought to retiring. On Thursday, Swansea East AM Mr Hedges also called for rule changes that could open the door to more candidates and potentially give a left-winger a clearer run for the leadership. "When we have an election, when Carwyn decides to step down, we should have a left candidate like we did with Huw Lewis last time," Mr Hedges said. "Traditionally leaders have gone after about 10 years, but it's entirely in Carwyn's hands," he added. Welsh Labour is consulting on whether to introduce one-member-one-vote elections (Omov) for its next leader, as happens when the party elects a UK leader. That would mean all the votes cast count equally, instead of the existing electoral college system which splits the party into three wings. Mr Hedges is in favour of Omov and says candidates should be able to nominate themselves. Current rules require 20% of Labour AMs to support a candidate before they get on the ballot paper. Cailean O'Boyle palmed into the net right at the start of the second half to give Derry the lead. Cavan fought back and, buoyed by a goal by Michael Argue, edged into a 1-9 to 1-8 lead through a Ciam Mackey point. Three points by Mark Lynch and one from Shane Heavron proved enough to see Derry achieve the narrow victory. Derry, having beaten Fermanagh on the opening weekend are top of Division Two with the maximum four points, while for Cavan it was a second defeat of the campaign. Cavan held a slender 0-6 to 0-5 interval advantage although Derry would have been in front if Ryan Bell had been able to convert a penalty instead of shooting weakly at keeper Raymond Galligan. Eugene Keating and Gearoid McKernan landed two points each for Cavan whose other scores in the first half came from Dara McVeety, Paul O'Connor and Tomas Corr. Glen clubman Ciaran McFaul scored twice for Derry and their other points before the break were provided by corner half-back Mark Craig, a James Kielt free and Emmett Bradley. Having trailed at the interval, O'Boyle's goal and another score by Kielt quickly had the Oak Leafers three points up. Cavan, desperate to get off the mark in the league on their own ground, fought back and levelled with substitute Argue hammered the ball into the net. It was nip and tuck right up to the end, with Derry blocking a string of Cavan attempts in stoppage time. The 24-year-old's parents and two of her three brothers were among those who brought candles and flowers. Miss Buckley's body was found on a farm to the north of Glasgow, four days after she went missing following a night out in the city's west end. Alexander Pacteau, 21, has appeared in court charged with the Cork woman's murder and was remanded in custody. Mr Pacteau, from Glasgow, made no plea or declaration during the private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court. He is also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice. He will appear in court again next week for a full committal hearing. Miss Buckley's family, friends and fellow students were among about 300 mourners at the vigil. A piper played as mourners laid flowers and others sang Scottish and Irish songs before a minute's silence was held. Cards and messages were also left. Miss Buckley's parents Marian and John, and her brothers arrived towards the end of the vigil and looked at the tributes. Mr and Mrs Buckley earlier visited Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) where their daughter was studying occupational therapy. There, they met some of her friends and teaching staff and looked at floral tributes. Students from the university also attended the vigil, with many wearing GCU tracksuits and jumpers. Barry Ahearn, who is originally from Cork but now lives in Ayr, sang a local Cork song at the vigil. He said: "I've been living in Scotland for the last four years and wanted to come today to show solidarity and support for Karen's family. "I sang On The Banks On My Own Lovely Lee - it's the river that runs through Cork and is the local anthem. "The whole situation is so sad, particularly when you're living in Scotland and something like this happens to someone from your own country. It just doesn't fit, it's so sad." Flowers and messages have also been left at the GCU campus and at the entrance to High Craigton Farm where Miss Buckley's body was found. A separate event, entitled Silent Vigil For Our Neighbour Karen Buckley, has been organised to take place in the Garnethill area of the city, where Miss Buckley lived, on Saturday. A special prayer service was held near her home in Mallow on Wednesday, and a fundraising page set up by Miss Buckley's former classmates to support her family has raised more than £50,000. Sheffield City Region (SCR) signed a deal in 2015 paving the way for a mayor with certain devolved powers. However, SCR chair Sir Steve Houghton said it wanted clarity on whether installing a mayor was necessary. Former chancellor George Osborne, who signed the deal, had previously said elected mayors were key to devolution. Under the proposed SCR devolution deal the mayor would take responsibility for major roads, public transport, skills for employment and major planning and investment projects. Speaking after the SCR agreed to submit its consultation responses to Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Sajid Javid, Sir Steve said: "The elected mayor is not yet a done deal. "We are seeking clarity from government on whether this is still needed as there are still significant concerns around the mayoral model amongst a number of city region authorities. "We won't make the final decision to go ahead unless we are absolutely sure that this is best possible outcome for our residents and that there are no other options open to us. "Any decision on the mayor and any election timetable is therefore subject to these considerations." He also said that, following consultation, there was public support for Chesterfield and Bassetlaw, two of the nine local authorities which make up the SCR, becoming "constituent members" alongside Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham. If the two authorities do become constituent members they would take part in any future mayoral elections. Last month Derbyshire County Council said it was seeking a judicial review of the consultation. The SCR said however the legal action would not impact on the devolution timetable. Julie Denham, 53, had lost a bag with her grandmother's rose gold brooch while moving house eight months ago. She thought it was gone for good, but it was recently found wedged between rocks by maintenance workers. New Zealand police and transport officials managed to track down Ms Denham and return it to her. Ms Denham has since promised to "stop dropping my junk along the road". The nine-carat rose gold brooch belonged to Ms Denham's English grandmother Mary, who was born in 1900 in Swindon and moved to New Zealand as a child. It was one of her few remaining family heirlooms, as Ms Denham lost most of them in a house fire several years ago. The brooch, in a bag with other items, was lost when Ms Denham moved from Snells Beach to Orewa, north of Auckland. Ms Denham told the BBC that when she discovered her loss "I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. I had wanted to pass it on to my daughter and my granddaughter". "It just floored me and I cried," she said. But maintenance workers who were picking rubbish by the motorway found the bag, between rocks on a slope. It had Ms Denham's name and previous address written on it so they got in touch. "I just fell off the phone, I went round telling my family, 'It's coming home, it's coming home!'," said Ms Denham. "So these two fellows, big burly chaps wearing hi-vis vests, came to my door looking very pleased with themselves, carrying this little parcel of mine. I gave them a jar of marmalade that my mum made, and a little teddy bear with a note. I told them any time they're passing by they can come in for a cup of tea. And that I promise to stop dropping my junk along the road!" The wild beaver had been spotted at the Loch of the Lowes in August. Staff have managed to catch the animal, which has been identified as a two to three year old male European Beaver. The aquatic mammal was taken to Edinburgh Zoo for a proper health check and DNA testing, before being released back into the reserve. The Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT), along with the Tayside Beaver Study Group, has been monitoring the animal at the Loch of the Lowes since it was first spotted last summer. Staff placed a humane trap, baited with carrots and apples, near the beaver's lodge. Once caught, it was taken to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) vet in Edinburgh, where the male beaver was given a full check for diseases and a sample of DNA taken. The animal was re-released on the reserve later the same day, where staff said "he ambled happily down to the water's edge" and swam back to his lodge. A spokesman at the reserve said: "We intend, of course, to continue monitoring the beaver at Loch of the Lowes and his behaviour, as well as any impact he has on the reserve's ecology. "He is a charming animal who has provided us with some very funny moments on camera. "So far there are no confirmed sightings of a second animal here, but it is possible that our male may attract a mate, we will be continuing to monitor him to follow the story." Beavers became extinct in the UK towards the end of the 16th century. The current wild beaver populations in Scotland either belong to the government-licensed Scottish Beaver Trial in Knapdale in Argyll, or are the descendants of escapees from private collections in Angus and Perthshire over the past decade. Paramedics treated about 12,000 people who were so drunk it was noted on Scottish Ambulance Service systems in the six months to the end of September. The figures were obtained by the Scottish Conservatives under freedom of information laws. The ambulance service said alcohol had a significant impact on its operations. It comes after a recent internal Scottish Ambulance Service survey showed alcohol was a factor in more than half of all call-outs ambulance staff dealt with at weekends. The latest figures showed Scotland's largest health board, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, had the highest number of alcohol-related 999 call-outs in the six month period at 3,849. It was followed by NHS Lothian, with 1,935, and NHS Lanarkshire, with 1,470. Tory health spokesman Jackson Carlaw said the statistics highlighted how "deep-rooted and complex" a problem alcohol is in Scottish society. He said: "Not only is it harming those who are over-consuming, but it is diverting scarce resources away from those whose need was not so avoidable. "Of course the Scottish government and NHS can always do more to discourage reckless patterns of drinking and provide more help for paramedics who have to repeatedly go into these challenging situations - often several times each shift. "But ultimately this is a case of personal responsibility, and that's where the real change has to come from." A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said its teams had to respond to an increase in demand over the festive period, which was largely driven by alcohol. He added: "They are highly trained professionals who are frustrated by the amount of time they spend looking after patients who are simply intoxicated. "Our staff should not have to fear for their own safety when responding to patients but alcohol is often a key factor in assaults. "Assaults or threatening behaviour are reported to the police and support and counselling services are available to staff." Public Health Minister Maureen Watt said a recent four nations report found that Scotland was leading the way in the UK in taking action to tackle alcohol misuse. She added: "However, the harmful effects of excessive alcohol consumption puts additional pressure on these services, and this is another reason why everyone should drink responsibly and keep safe." All newspapers are privately-owned, and there is a mix of private and public radio stations. Although the sole TV station is run by the government-owned Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation, it presents a wide range of political views. The CBC also operates MCTV, a multi-channel and pay-TV service. There were nearly 192,000 internet users by December 2011 (Internetworldstats). Access is unrestricted. But now a project to digitise photographs and documents on Welsh history could shed more light on it. Items belonging to Thomas Benbow Phillips, pioneer of the Welsh colony in Brazil, have been put online for the People's Collection Wales. His settlement started in 1850, 15 years before the one in Patagonia. Staff from the library travelled to Patagonia last month to teach communities there how to upload photographs and documents about the migration to the Welsh government-funded website, which provides a digital archive on Welsh history and culture. While there they met Silvia Elvina Williams, a descendant of Benbow Phillips, who showed them a photograph of him and documents about the Welsh emigration to southern Brazil. They have now gone online - the first digitized items about the settlement, which was named Nova Cambria (New Wales). Dr Dafydd Tudur, who oversees digital access at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, said they could now be accessed and studied by all. "There's not much literature on that community in the English language - there's a bit more in the Welsh language," he said. "These documents are of an interest because they pre-date the Patagonia settlement. "Unlike other Welsh settlement to places in north America, where people joined in the local culture, a lot of the rhetoric about the Brazil settlement was very similar to that with Patagonia. "This was a project to establish a Welsh community and build a society where the Welsh language and culture would thrive." A number of other documents and photographs from the visit to Patagonia, which was funded by the British Council, will also be on the People's Collection Wales website. What was Nova Cambria? Thomas Benbow Phillips was born in London but his parents were from mid Wales. When he was 21 he attempted to establish a Welsh colony in southern Brazil, called Nova Cambria (New Wales) He led a Welsh community there, setting sail in 1850. It is unclear how many people were in the settlement but Dr Tudur said it is believed there were 41 people living there in the first year. The aim of the settlement was to establish a community where the Welsh language and culture could thrive - the same ideology as with the establishment 15 years later of Patagonia. Dr Tudur said the reason for this sort of migration could have been because people in Wales at the time were beginning to see the effect of migration on the country and the growth of heavy industry and the spread of the railway. They wanted to preserve the Welsh language and culture. Benbow Phillips' settlement lasted four to five years. Dr Tudur said some settlers moved to a nearby thriving coal mining area to work. A lack of support by the Brazilian government was also another reason why the settlement did not prove successful. Benbow Phillips stayed in Brazil until 1872 before moving to Patagonia. The Derbyshire-born fighter won amateur honours at light-heavyweight and claimed the British heavyweight title as a professional in October 1969. He lost the belt to Henry Cooper but won it back in 1971 when a victory over Joe Bugner also secured the Commonwealth and European titles. His career ended in 1972 after 58 wins and 13 losses, and in later life he suffered with dementia. The charges relate to two incidents during Saturday's west London derby, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The first was a clash between the two clubs' coaching staff in the 91st minute, with the second a melee involving players in the 94th minute. QPR assistant Marc Bircham and Fulham's medical manager Marco Cesarini have received improper conduct charges. All parties have until 18:00 GMT on Thursday, 26 January to respond. Both clubs have been charged with failing to "ensure their players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion". Fulham pair Tom Cairney and Chris Martin and QPR defender Joel Lynch were all booked by referee Keith Stroud following an off-the-ball incident in the 94th minute. Media playback is not supported on this device Rooney's injury-time equaliser at Stoke on Saturday was his 250th for United, breaking Charlton's 44-year-old record. "I would be lying to say that I'm not disappointed to have lost the record," Charlton, 79, told the United website. "However, I can honestly say that I'm delighted for Wayne. He deserves his place in the history books." Media playback is not supported on this device He continued: "He is a true great for club and country, and it is fitting that he is now the highest goalscorer for both United and England. "It has been great to watch him every week since his arrival at Old Trafford in 2004; he set the tone with a wonderful hat-trick on his debut and he has thrilled us all in the years since, going on to enjoy a hugely successful career. "I was 35 when I retired. Wayne is only 31 and still going strong, so I don't think he's done by a long stretch yet. He continues to show that he can contribute goals, assists and performances whenever called upon. He will raise the bar even further before he calls it a day. "Now he's the man to beat, and I can't see anybody doing that for a long, long time." Sir Alex Ferguson, who managed United from 1986 to 2013 and brought Rooney to the club in August 2004 from Everton, told ManUtd.com: "I would like to say huge congratulations to Wayne on reaching this milestone. "Wayne thoroughly deserves his place in the history books of this great club and I am sure that he will go on to score many more goals." Current United boss Jose Mourinho said: "It is the record of the biggest club in England and one of the biggest in the world. "Before him the record belonged to a legend of English football. Now Wayne becomes a legend of Manchester United." Stoke boss Mark Hughes, who had two spells as a striker with United said: "It is an outstanding record and won't be surpassed. It has taken 40-odd years for Sir Bobby's record to be broken which shows how high a mark it was." Rooney, 31, said he was honoured to break the record. "I am very proud," he told Sky Sports. "It is not something I expected when I joined. I am proud and I hope there is more to come. "The players who have played for this club have been world class. I am proud to play for this club and to be all-time goalscorer is a huge honour." Asked about Charlton by Gary Lineker for Match of the Day, Rooney added: "He's such an iconic figure, and has been for so long. When you sign for the club, you realise how important he is. To surpass him in goals is something I never thought I'd do. I have the utmost respect for him. "He came and congratulated me in the dressing room so I know he's pleased in some way. "I'm a team player but records are important. When you finish your career you can look back on it and it's something to tell your kids." England boss Gareth Southgate told the Football Association official website: "When you look at whose record he has broken and the way that Sir Bobby is revered in this country and by his club, it shows you what an achievement it is. "To be leading goalscorer for United - overtaking Sir Bobby - and for England is an incredible achievement. "To have scored that many goals then you have got to have performed so consistently over such a long period of time which is a mark of an outstanding player. Wayne has managed to achieve that." This year, Woodstock, one of the early music festivals which - along with the Monterey Pop festival - arguably laid the foundations for the modern-day music festival, celebrates its 45th anniversary. Over an August weekend in New York state, artists such as Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin played to an estimated 400,000 people. Rolling Stone magazine's editor of photography Baron Wolman was there to document the event. Now, aged 77, some of his unseen photographs from the festival are being shown at an exhibition in London. "The Glastonbury super fence looks like you're in a prison, you can't even get out without a pass. These fences were more of a demarcation line of the festival area, clearly they weren't made to keep people out. There was no security, the idea was that it wasn't necessary, we could sort out ourselves. Unfortunately, they forgot to set up ticket booths to sell tickets and, when they realised it, it became by default a free festival and they made the announcement. So these guys are not forcing themselves in because they could have gotten in anyway." "In the beginning, there was a lot of resistance on the part of the local population to the festival people. They were afraid of the hippies and the counterculture, they thought it was going to be an invasion. But when the people showed up, so gentle and nice and thoughtful, they were welcomed. This was on the roadside on the way and there was no hostility there whatsoever." "The festival refugees, most of the people had smiles on their faces. I can't tell if they are coming or going. But I love that. In none of the pictures will you see a branded T-shirt or tennis shoes. People wore flip flops and sandals." "This is kind of the ecstasy of Woodstock but if you look closely, there aren't many smiling people which puzzles me. These people are dancing and nobody else is smiling. Maybe they were exhausted, maybe they couldn't make it to the loo because once you lost your place you couldn't get back. "It would be nice to interview some of those people. And you do occasionally come across somebody who was there. But everyone here has a story. Three-hundred thousand people, that would be a hell of a long interview. "Primarily, I was there for Rolling Stone and we couldn't publish colour in those days. Also, the difference between shooting in colour and in black and white, is that with colour, it becomes a component of the picture. In black and white, you look at the content much more closely." "The whole festival took place in areas of dairy farms which is why the cows are around and its such a pastoral picture. They're lying around as if they're listening to the music. But the story goes that the cows were so traumatised by the people and the music that they didn't give milk for a month and the farmer sued the Woodstock people for loss of income." "During the festival, the Vietnam war was still going on and there was hostility between the counter culture and the military. But during Woodstock, the military home guard sent in medivac helicopters to help out with the sick and injured. For me that was a very important moment." "This is one of the strangest photos I took. He has a suitcase and he's walking along somewhere, I have no idea where, what he's got in the suitcase. Just one of those mysterious things." "Carlos Santana and Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead were sitting backstage, prior to going on. They were scheduled to go on in the middle of the night and Jerry said to Carlos, 'Hey man, let's get high, let's trip'. So they did some acid or some mescaline, one or the other, Carlos is unclear on that point and he got high. "An hour later, they said, 'Carlos, you're on. If you can't play now, you're not going to play'. So, he played the entire set tripping and he talked about how the guitar in his hand felt like a steel snake moving around. He was listening to the sounds in the monitor and he looked out to the crowd and saw 300,000 sets of teeth and 300,000 pairs of eyes. He said, 'I have no idea what I was playing that day'. "At the time, Bill Graham the great, iconic concert promoter was managing Carlos and that was the reason why Carlos was there. So Bill was sitting there playing that cowbell and I took a picture of him and he said, 'Baron sit down, I'm going to get a picture of you.' "This is the only picture of me there, it just proves I was there. You need proof I was there? There it is." "People say to me, 'Don't you realise what you did, this is a moment of history'. But, at the time you're taking the pictures, when you're immersed in it, you have no sense of time or space. I'm looking around for photos that I can compose and make some sense of it but I had no sense of history. "I was so overwhelmed by this experience, that's why I took these pictures. I thought that what was happening off stage was more, or as, important as what was going on the stage. The music we all know but nobody, until that time, had an experience like this and I felt like I had to document it." All images courtesy of Baron Wolman. Woodstock, by Baron Wolman, is published by www.reelartpress.com. The exhibition of Baron Wolman's Woodstock photography will be at Forge & Co Gallery, London E1 from 27 June to 8 July. The vehicle smashed into the house in Claremont Crescent, Rayleigh, Essex, on Tuesday morning. The house was left structurally unsound and had to be shored up by fire crews. Station Officer John Tidbury said the two parents and their child were "extremely lucky that they were not seriously hurt." "The lorry had collided into the kitchen-diner of the house at around breakfast time," he said. "Luckily the family had gone into the back garden to feed their pet rabbit at the same time the lorry struck their house. "If they had all been sitting at their dining room table at the time the lorry hit the property, the situation could have been far worse." Two fire crews and an urban search and rescue team worked to make the house safe. Police said 14 crimes were recorded in recent weeks, including the theft of tens of thousands of pounds of lead from churches near Ashbourne. The Church Watch scheme, which covers Bakewell, will now cover Ashbourne, Matlock and surrounding villages. Rev Canon David Truby said St Mary's Church, Wirksworth, had been "desecrated" after silver was stolen. "Some of that silver is 250 years old so it's a part of the town's heritage," he said. "We feel in some way as though the church has been desecrated." People living near churches and chapels in the Church Watch area are asked by Derbyshire Police to report anything suspicious. Rev Jane Harris, from the scheme, said she was "saddened" by the recent thefts but extending the scheme would make communities feel safer.

It follows a 13.00 GMT pitch inspection at Arbroath's Gayfield Park. The hosts were hoping for a victory that would take them to within a point of third-top Stirling Albion, Queen's Park and Annan Athletic. Shire were looking to continue where they left off after a win over Queen's Park lifted them off the bottom. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the BBC first broadcasting the Masters from the Augusta National in Georgia and some familiar names have shared their memories of playing in, watching and commentating on one of the world's most iconic sporting events. Peter Alliss played in the first Masters covered by the BBC in 1967, having also contested the previous year's tournament and although he was initially unimpressed as a player, he has grown fond of the place since becoming a commentator. Playing there wasn't a happy experience for me. I realised that you weren't really made to feel welcome back in the 1960s. That goes against everything they say today. You had to have a local caddie. The locals didn't want to caddie as they felt you had little chance of doing well and hence they had little chance of getting a good tip. It was very overpowering. From my point of view, I was overawed by the whole thing. But I have marvelled at the place since. It is fearless when it comes to innovation. And when you go out in front of the clubhouse where they sit under the big trees, you see the famous faces from days gone by. Some are missing, some new ones come, some never change. Two years ago I was walking and the late Arnold Palmer was there. We were great friends since the 1950s. He gave me a big hug in front of hundreds of people, they had no idea who I was. It's just people. The people for me make it. There's just a general feeling that it's just different. Media playback is not supported on this device One thing an interviewer should never be is starstruck. The other crime is failing to listen to what the interviewee is telling you. I was guilty on both counts during my first visit to Augusta in 1993. It was under the famous tree outside the clubhouse where I first interviewed my all-time golfing hero Jack Nicklaus. Among a scrum of reporters I thrust my microphone under the great man's nose and he explained that he would likely miss that year's Open because of an ongoing hip problem. Agog at being in this position I was determined not to dry up so instead of listening, my mind was on what I should ask him next. Sadly the question I chose was: "So will we see you at the Open in July?" Naturally Nicklaus replied in the most clipped terms: "I just answered that." End of interview, and very important lessons were learned via the greatest golfer of all time. Media playback is not supported on this device The year 1957 was special for golf, not because of achievements in the sport but for the golfers who came into the world. Along with Sir Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer, Spaniard Seve Ballesteros made his appearance. Sixty years on we remember Seve on 9 April which would have been his 60th birthday. Seve and Augusta were a match made in heaven, like strawberries and cream, leaving us with so many memories. His first green jacket in 1980 opened the doors for fellow Europeans to follow in his footsteps. And his second followed in 1983. After retiring from playing he occasionally joined the BBC commentary team, bringing with him the same passion and enthusiasm that he had on the course. On one of his visits to Augusta, I interviewed him for part of the BBC preview programme; he was staying in the house he had rented there for many previous Masters weeks. At the end of the interview his son surprised him with a birthday cake. He was obviously moved by the thoughtfulness. We will all be thinking of him on Sunday as the final round takes place. I have no doubt he will be sharing some cake with Arnie and loving the golf. We miss you. Media playback is not supported on this device There are plenty of memorable moments, not least watching Phil Mickelson threading his second shot between the trees off the pinestraw at the 13th on his way to his third Green Jacket in 2010. Wow, when that ball hit the green, I jumped so far out of my seat in the studio that I nearly landed in the azaleas bordering the set! But one of the things that will always stay with me was when I first clapped eyes on Augusta National for real. It was a proper, 'pinch me' moment. Off I strode and immediately sought out 'Sandy's bunker' at the 18th. That was where, in 1988, Sandy Lyle had driven his tee shot. He had needed a par at the last to force a play-off with Mark Calcavecchia. I remember thinking back then in '88 that he'd blown it. But out came the famous seven iron, and Sandy would hoist the ball up and on to the green before sinking the putt for a birdie to become the first British player to win the Masters. So years later, there I stood, looking into the impossibly white sand of that bunker and gazing up at the very large hill that lies in front of it up to the green. The contours of the course really don't translate properly on TV. So, standing there in person underscored to me what a fantastic shot it really was. I had interviewed Sandy many times at other courses but to do so that year, in situ and with a bit of 'local knowledge' now in place, was a proper thrill. Media playback is not supported on this device The first year I worked on the Masters was 2013, the year that Tiger Woods' ball hit the pin on 15 and rolled back into the water and he dropped in the incorrect spot. Tiger has long been one of my sporting heroes and I was shaking with nerves in anticipation of having to interview him, for the first time, on the Saturday evening with controversy surrounding his status in the tournament. In the meantime I had entered the draw, open to members of the media, to play Augusta on the Monday after the event finishes and was waiting to find out if I was one of the very lucky few to be pulled out of the hat. Tiger walked into the interview room and I said to my director: "Tiger's all set to go." I was told to ask him to wait for a minute so that we could broadcast the interview live. Tiger was happy but the wait seemed like an eternity and the director could tell I was nervous and uncomfortable. So he started counting me down untilwe went live... 50 seconds, 40 seconds... when we got to 30 seconds he said: "Oh by the way Rish, the draw for the media day is out and you're in, you're playing." I'd forgotten how nervous I was about interviewing the great man and was now excited about playing the greatest golf course in the world. I began to wonder how I would get my hands on a set of clubs and shoes to play. Meanwhile, the countdown to the interview continued "10 seconds Rish... six, five, by the way I was just kidding about golf on Monday, three, two, one and cue Rishi, live with Tiger". Naturally I fumbled my first question, although that doesn't make the cut in the video above! My first, official, practice round in 2004 was with Jack Nicklaus. I'd known the Nicklaus family for a number of years but I was incredibly honoured for that invitation. Jack and I met on the practice ground and shared a few laughs before heading to the first tee. I recall the unrelenting enthusiasm from his fans and they even shared some excitement in meeting me. I knew that I wasn't the star that day but everyone made me feel like Jack's equal. I knew better. The day was, mostly, like any other as both of us charted the course preparing like tour pros do. Jack gave me advice and talked a lot about his last win in 1986. As we approached the green on 17, where the famous "yessir" call came, he told me that he hit the same putt in 1987 and it broke, surprisingly, a different way. Upon completing the round we took pictures with my newly-born son, Dade, shook hands and said our goodbyes. To me, that was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. I'll be forever grateful for that April day at my first Masters. The hidden secrets of Augusta National are many and you only realise the significance once you step foot on the grounds. My first trip to the Masters was as a guest of friend and former champion Craig Stadler in 1995. Most, if not all avid golfers, grow up watching the Masters on television, and you think you know it from the years of watching the excitement. I can tell you that you cannot begin to imagine what it is like to see it in person. The hills are larger and steeper than you thought, the colour of the flowers, azaleas, and dogwoods are more intense than you remember from the broadcasts, the green of the grass is like nothing you have ever seen before. And the amazing thing is, I feel these same emotions every single year when I walk out to see the course on Wednesday morning of Masters week. It is a "pinch yourself" moment that you are so lucky to be there. The National Records of Scotland projections suggested a rise from 5.31m in 2012 to 5.78m by 2037, followed by continued growth after that date. However, the pattern of growth was not predicted to be even across all areas of the country. An increase was predicted in 20 out of 32 local authority areas, with the population of the other 12 set to fall. The areas with the greatest projected increase in population were Aberdeen City and City of Edinburgh, with a 28% predicted rise each, followed by Perth & Kinross with 24%. Inverclyde had the largest projected decrease at 19%, followed by Argyll and Bute at 13%. The national statistics publication made population projections for the 25 year period from 2012 to 2037. "The assumptions are based on past trends and do not take account of any future changes that may occur as a result of policy initiatives, but may reflect the past impact of policy and economic changes," the document stated. The authors also cautioned that the projection makes "certain assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration" to reach figures based on patterns of births and deaths and net migration. The research pointed to an ageing population, with the number of people of pensionable age set to rise in all local authority areas. The highest projected increases were 47% for West Lothian and 44% for the Shetland Islands. However, the working age population was predicted to increase in only 13 local authority areas and to decrease in 19. The document followed census data in April which showed Scotland's population reached an all-time high of 5.32m in mid-2013. The events attracted huge crowds, many demanding that the spectacle, known as jallikattu, must be legalised permanently and not just provisionally. Subduing angry bulls has long been practised in the state as a sport and is a key part of the harvest festival. The Indian Supreme Court banned it in 2014, ruling it was cruel to animals. But the central government on Saturday temporarily cleared the way for bullfighting events to resume in Tamil Nadu, bypassing a Supreme Court ban. It did so by issuing a six-month executive order that removed bulls from the purview of the law. Animals rights groups are imminently expected to appeal against the move. Various activities involving bulls have taken place throughout the weekend, with two people reported to have been killed while holding on to a bucking bull on Sunday. Events took place throughout the state including the state capital Chennai (Madras), where protesters on Marina beach demanded the full scale legalisation of jallikattu. The protesters - surrounded by large numbers of police - have threatened to disrupt India's Republic Day celebrations on Thursday if their demands are not met, NDTV reported. The state that loves bullfighting but isn't Spain Why the protests may not be just about bulls Native breeds 'threatened by ban' Most ministers in the state government, led by Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, support jallikattu, with many holding inauguration events over the weekend. It is seen as an important part of Tamil culture. Mr Panneerselvam has promised to legalise it as soon as the state's assembly reconvenes on Monday. Animal rights activists say the spectacle causes unnecessary stress to the bulls because they sometimes have chilli powder rubbed into their eyes, or have their tails broken, before they are released into a crowd and forced to fend off people trying to ride them. On Thursday Mr Paneerselvam sought the help of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tackle the crisis, following which the home ministry supported the state government's proposal for the executive order. A government official in Tamil Nadu said the executive order was prepared with a view to ensuring "survival and well-being of the native breed of bulls and preserving cultural traditions". In the past few days, a number of Tamil celebrities have given support to the protesters, including five-time world chess champion Vishwanathan Anand and Oscar-winning music composer A R Rahman. The Paralympic Games start in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, with swimmer Ellie Simmonds and wheelchair athlete David Weir among those tipped to win more golds for Team GB. Ask any bookmaker, though, and they will tell you it is not a big event for them. William Hill, the UK's biggest betting firm, took a "couple of million pounds" in bets from the Rio Olympics, but is expecting less than £150,000 from the Paralympics. Or to put it another way, betting on the 11 days of the Paralympic Games will generate the same as one midweek horse race, according to industry estimates. It's not because punters are squeamish about betting on disabled athletes, bookmakers say. Instead, one of the main reasons they give is that even after the success of the London 2012 Paralympics, the best athletes aren't as well known as their Olympic counterparts. "Ask people in the street and they might be able to name some, but it's a way to go to Usain Bolt levels," says Paddy Power, the eponymous spokesman for Irish bookmaker Paddy Power. During the London 2012 Games bookies offered a wide range of bets on the Paralympics for the first time. Team GB had its best ever showing with 120 Paralympic medals, helping amputee sprinter Jonnie Peacock and cyclist Dame Sarah Storey emerge as household names. Despite the success, the betting interest was underwhelming. "Even though they were hosted here in the UK we didn't see a particularly significant uptake," says David Williams from betting firm Ladbrokes. British bookmakers expect it to be even lower for the Rio Games due to the time difference and the UK not having the "host nation buzz". Mr Williams predicts the Paralympics won't be "particularly compelling" for its customers, "unless some extraordinary events combine to really capture the imagination of punters, which would be great". Many of the big races are overnight for British punters, says Simon Clare from the betting firm Coral. "And timing is everything with these events." Partly for that reason betting on the Rio Olympics was 10 times smaller than on London 2012, he says, even though Team GB won more medals. But it could also be self-reinforcing. Betting operators have the expertise to offer odds on tens of thousands of events every day - from Ukrainian Under-19 football to who will win Strictly Come Dancing. Their traders swot up on all sorts of exotic sporting knowledge, but for the Paralympics they will only be putting up odds for the likes of David Weir and Ellie Simmonds, if at all. "Bookmaking is fundamentally about supply and demand," says Ladbrokes' David Williams. "Where there is a demand or likely demand from punters we supply the odds but hitherto in the 2016 Paralympics we simply haven't seen the demand." Ladbrokes hasn't received a single request for odds on the Paralympics yet, he says. William Hill's Joe Crilly says odd-setters and gamblers face a huge range of sports and disciplines at the Games - even more so for the Paralympics, which has 200 more events than the Olympics because of extra classifications for different disabilities. Still, the Olympic Games generally are not big business for bookmakers, despite the huge global audience. "Olympic betting is small and Paralympic betting is even smaller," says Coral's Simon Clare. "While there's a huge interest in watching the Paralympics, the betting is just so low it's not a high priority." The Rio Olympics were watched by more than 45 million people in the UK and more than 3 billion worldwide, while the Paralympic Movement reported viewing figures of 40 million in the UK and 3.8 billion worldwide for London 2012. In both cases this didn't translate into hordes of punters. Coral took the same in bets from the 19-day Rio Olympics as it did from one Saturday afternoon of football betting. But Paddy Power and others suggest bookmakers won't be too concerned. The Paralympics is about great sportsmen and women with disabilities competing at the highest level, they argue. As Paddy Power puts it: "The raison d'etre for the Paralympic Games is not betting." The previous agreement between Cricket Australia and the country's leading players expired on Friday, and no new deal has been struck. Money set aside by the governing body will be re-routed to the grassroots. The players' union will meet on Sunday to discuss a possible boycott of the 'A' team's tour of South Africa. That tour comprises two four-day games, with the first beginning on 12 July. More than 200 leading cricketers are affected by the dispute, which centres on Cricket Australia's desire to remove a clause from players' contracts which guarantees them a percentage of the organisation's revenue. The board, however, was offering increased pay deals for both the men's and women's teams. If a deal cannot be struck, it places this winter's Ashes series against England in doubt. Edwin Mee, 46, used his power to "abuse and bully" nine young women who were based in Croydon. One of them was aged 15, Southwark Crown Court heard. The Glasgow-born officer, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was convicted of 16 offences. The judge said Mee's actions had been "demeaning" and "distressing". The sex assaults were carried out in 2011 and 2012. Mee began his abuse by spanking women. It escalated to raping a vulnerable recruit. Most of his victims were from overseas. In total, the divorced father-of-five was found guilty of two rapes, one count of assault by penetration and 13 sexual assaults. Judge Alistair McCreath told Mee: "What you did to each one constituted a serious abuse of trust." Faraday Future said its battery-powered FFZero1 would project information over the driver's view and include a smartphone dock in its steering wheel. The firm highlighted, however, that the modular basis of its design meant it could easily reconfigure the elements to create other types of electric vehicles including pick-up trucks. Some experts seemed sceptical. But the company - which is backed by the Chinese internet TV provider LeTV - said it was on course to deliver its first production vehicle in two years' time. Its research chief Nick Sampson - who was formerly an engineer at rival electric car-maker Tesla - suggested his firm was able to move faster than others thanks to its adoption of "variable production architecture". He explained this meant it would use the same basic underlying structure on all its vehicles, adapting it to include anywhere from one to four motors, battery packs of various sizes, different types of wheelbases and other optional parts. This, he said, meant different models could be rolled out in a relatively short space of time - some perhaps prioritising range and others horsepower. The company is on course to release its first production car in 2018, Mr Sampson added, and would break ground on its first factory, to be based near Las Vegas, within a few weeks. Faraday Future has pledged to invest more than $1bn (£679m) in the plant and eventually employ more than 4,500 workers. "The car's obviously very radical but that's what concepts are all about," commented Thilo Koslowski from the tech consultancy Gartner. "I think Faraday has a good understanding of what it has to do in order to be successful. But we will have to see if it will be successful. I can tell you that the established vehicle manufacturers are not standing still either." Scott Evans, associate editor at the Motor Trend news site, was more doubtful. "Faraday Future claims to be disrupting the industry and completely rethinking the car, but is promising stuff everyone else is doing," he tweeted. The internet-connected 1,000-horsepower FFZero1 incorporates several ambitious elements including: How many of these are intended to make it to market was unclear. But its chief designer, Richard Kim, said its edged side - which he described as a "UFO line" - would feature in all Faraday Future vehicles to mark them out. In time, the firm said it intended to build self-drive vehicles and would not only sell its cars but also provide "connected mobility" to the wider population. "Electric mobility has been hampered by a lack of charging stations so Faraday Future has invested in a car sharing company," explained Alexander Renz from the consultancy Clareo. "It is serious about going beyond car ownership. "And the partnership with LeTV, which is the Netflix of China, is about seeing the car as a platform. In the future when cars will be driverless, people will need something to do." The launch was slightly marred by several technical faults involving faulty teleprompters. Potentially a bigger issue, however, was the Financial Times' spot that Faraday Future's chief battery architect had left after 15 months in the role. The company is only three months older than that. Although Tesla is not attending CES, several other companies are expected to show off new electric concept vehicles of their own over the coming days including BMW, VW and Chevy.

A bonus-point system has been introduced to the 2017 championship to "encourage and reward try-scoring and attacking play". Four points for a win and a bonus point for four or more tries are on offer. "It's exciting times to hopefully continue the style which we started to embed in the autumn," said Howley. "We hope to continue that in the Six Nations. "There's no doubt bonus points are going to play a part in the Championship. Six Nations on the BBC "Pundits have looked back about how they might have influenced previous years and they have [changed the table]." Media playback is not supported on this device In 2016 it was two points for a win, but that will become four - plus a bonus point for four or more tries. A losing team could pick up two bonus points - one if they score four or more tries and another if they lose by seven points or fewer. A team that wins the Grand Slam - all five games - will receive an three extra points, making it impossible for a team with a glut of bonus points to win the tournament instead. Teams that draw will now get two points each with a similar bonus point again available for scoring four tries or more. Howley is in charge for a second Six Nations campaign while regular head coach Warren Gatland prepares to take the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand in the summer. In similar circumstances in 2013, when Gatland was pondering his 2013 Lions tour party to Australia, Howley guided Wales to the Six Nations title. He was also part of the set-up for the 2008 and 2012 Grand Slams, but denies Wales have become one-dimensional since their 2013 triumph. "When you look back at our Six Nations success, we haven't done too bad, have we?" he responded. "We've tried to evolve. What you saw out in New Zealand [in summer 2016] was an evolvement of our game. We've continued that for the Six Nations. Media playback is not supported on this device "[It's] another selection where we've been able to tweak one or two selections to enable us to evolve in the way we want to." Wales will have their England-based players available for a three-day training camp under World Rugby rules in the week beginning 24 January. Wales begin their campaign in Rome against Italy on Sunday, 5 February with lock Alun Wyn Jones having replaced flanker Sam Warburton as captain. Ahead of their November win over South Africa, Jones said the new style they were trying to implement had been to their "detriment at times". There are also seven uncapped players in the Wales squad. Di Matteo's side bounced back from successive defeats with a 3-0 win over Rotherham but conceded a late equaliser against Huddersfield on Tuesday. "We're a work in progress. The players that have come in need to understand how we want to play," the Italian said. "It's going to take time but it's a shame because I thought we deserved a bit more [against Huddersfield]." Villa were beaten 1-0 by Sheffield Wednesday in their first game back in the second-tier since 1988 and were knocked out of the EFL Cup by League Two side Luton. Rudy Gestede scored twice in their win against the Millers on Saturday, but Villa were forced to settle for a point against Huddersfield when keeper Pierluigi Gollini's clearance bounced off Michael Hefele's back into an empty net in the 86th minute. "There is a lot of improvement in the team in the weeks that we have worked together," the Villa manager told BBC WM. "I think it's games like this you need to be able to score a second goal to kill the game or be able to see it out and get the three points." Unofficial figures from a referendum show that the "Yes" campaign to retain hunting in the spring had won by about 4,000 votes. Joe Perici Calascione of the Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FKNK) described spring hunting as "an integral part" of the hunting tradition in Malta. Birdlife Malta said conservation efforts in Malta would now be an "uphill struggle". Times of Malta political analyst Herman Grech said that the result is a surprise because surveys were consistently showing a 7% lead for the "No" camp. But he said many voters appear to have abided by the wishes of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, who came out in favour of hunting, as did the leader of the opposition. Mr Muscat said that the initial results from the referendum suggested the "Yes" camp - to keep spring hunting - had won by just over 50% of the votes. He was quoted by the Times of Malta as saying that referendum had given a final chance to hunters when the season begins on Tuesday and that any abuses by them would not be tolerated. Malta is the only EU country that allows recreational spring hunting. It has two derogations - or exceptions - in place from the European Union's Birds Directive which regulates the hunting of birds across the EU. These particular exceptions allow the Maltese to hunt turtle doves and quail in the spring, but only under strict regulations. Conservationists argue that some hunters shoot other protected species and that the two species legally targeted are migrating to breed as they pass over Malta into Europe. Some 45,000 Maltese signed a petition last year to hold a vote on whether to ban the spring hunting season, which runs from the middle to the end of April. Mr Calascione said that the right of hunters to shoot turtle doves and quail was "their life". "We're the most regulated country in Europe with regards to hunting," he said. "The hunting we do is sustainable. There is a limit on the hunting bag, and the time we can hunt." Birdlife Malta's Romina Tolu said that the closeness of the vote showed that the campaign to stop spring hunting "had managed to get the support of the people". "It was run by a group of 14 NGOs. We had no political support," she said. A ruling by the European Court of Justice in 2009 found that Malta had been in breach of EU law by allowing spring hunting because it had failed to fulfil its obligations under the Birds Directive. But since then, successive Maltese governments have continued to pass legislation that allows the EU exceptions to apply, so that spring hunting can continue. The Gills finished 20th in the table this season, having been 17th when Pennock was made head coach in January. But Pennock, 46, was handed a 12-month deal to stay on as head coach for next season, with former Gills boss Peter Taylor appointed director of football. "My decision is based on having watched the way he's worked," Scally said. "I understand that many may say that results haven't been as we would have hoped. We all accept that, but he has worked exceedingly hard in some very difficult circumstances, in circumstances that in my 22 years I've never seen the likes of. "I felt that he deserved a chance to see what he could do given a pre-season, given his own players coming in and given that he'd have a fresh start, but I only wanted to do that if I was able to bring in someone experienced to work above him." Former England Under-21 boss Taylor, 64, was sacked by Scally in December 2014 after a phone call between the pair. "I've always kept very close to Peter," Scally told BBC Radio Kent. "Peter's a very experienced person, very experienced in the contacts he has and the players he knows. "I just feel that it's going to be absolutely essential going forward this season that our recruitment's a lot better than it was last season and the season before." The suspect, 17, was arrested in the Uckermark, a district in Brandenburg, the state's Interior Minister, Karl-Heinz Schröter, announced. He entered Germany in 2015, police said. They have not confirmed reports that he is Syrian. In December, a jihadist killed 12 people with a lorry at a Berlin Christmas market. That attack by Anis Amri, a Tunisian, put security services under intense scrutiny because of the way in which the attacker, who was later shot dead by police in Italy, evaded their surveillance and crossed European borders undetected. Special forces arrested the teenager after police received a tip-off, Brandenburg police tweeted (in German). He had sent a message to his family saying farewell and that he was joining the "jihad", the police said. The boy told his family he planned to carry out a suicide attack, Mr Schröter said. His ministry said the suspect was Syrian but police tweeted that neither the "Syrian nationality" nor "concrete attack plans" could yet be confirmed, and that investigations continued. The suspect had been living in a home for unaccompanied underage refugees in Uckermark since 2016 and had never before come to the attention of police. He is currently being questioned and the home is being searched by the state criminal investigation office, Brandenburg police said. Details of the plot cannot be released due to police operations, which are ongoing, the police added. Some 280,000 asylum seekers arrived in Germany last year, a drop of more than 600,000 compared to 2015. Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to temporarily open the country's borders at the height of the European migrant crisis divided opinion and immigration is an important political issue ahead of the parliamentary election later this year. Mrs Merkel recently moved to try and ramp up deportations of failed asylum seekers. Tunisia had refused to take back Anis Amri after his asylum bid was rejected and pressure has increased on Mrs Merkel's government since the December attack. McNeil said the opportunity to join Chinese Super League club Guangzhou R&F was too good to turn down. "Basically, I had the opportunity to go and work as the reserve goalkeeping coach for a team in China," the 29-year-old told Morton's website. "It's not going to be easy but I'm really excited to go there and get started." McNeil, who has played for Hibernian, Livingston and Alloa during his career will join the side managed by former Yugoslavia star Dragan Stojkovic. The goalkeeper, contracted to Morton until the end of the season, discussed the potential switch with manager Jim Duffy before agreeing to the move. "I spoke to the manager about it and he obviously wanted me to stay at the club, but he also recognised it was a unique and pretty good opportunity," McNeil explained. "He was very, very good about it and he just said I should do whatever I wanted to do. If I wanted to stay, he would be delighted to keep me at the club because I had played quite a few games in the first half of the season. "But he also completely understood and said that if I wanted to go and take on this opportunity, he was more than happy to support that as well, which was great." The goalkeeper, whose last appearance for Morton came in the victory against Queen of the South on Christmas Eve, said the move "came out of the blue". "I do some goalkeeping coaching for Edusport Academy, run by Chris Ewing, and a representative from Guangzhou R&F got in touch with Chris looking for someone to work with their goalkeepers," McNeil added. "He phoned me and said I should have a listen." The latest figures from the UK house price index (UK HPI) showed prices jumped by 2.7% from May. Edinburgh had the largest increase over the last year, where the average price increased by 11.7% to £240,978. This compares with a UK average of £213,927, which rose by 8.7% year-on-year and is up by 1% from May. The biggest house price decrease in Scotland was seen in Aberdeen, where prices fell by 6.8% to £178,069. Despite average prices increasing across Scotland, the volume of residential sales slumped by 16%. The April sales figure was 6,665, significantly lower than the March sales figure of 11,017. Sale volume figures for May and June have not been included in the latest report due to the time taken between completion and registration of sales. The contrast between March and April has been attributed to changes in land and buildings transaction tax which came into effect on 1 April, under which those purchasing buy-to-let properties must pay additional tax. McCulloch was appointed permanent manager on a three-year deal, having been interim boss since 19 February. "Some players where saying, 'how can we take you seriously when you're not the manager?'" McCulloch told BBC Scotland. "But now it's confirmed I'll be pushing on to try and get the right players in for the club and the fans." McCulloch, who says he is "delighted" and "ready for the challenge ahead", took charge of the team after Lee Clark left for Bury, and guided Kilmarnock to eighth place and Premiership safety last season. He says there is a pressing need to add to his squad, with only around 10 senior players currently on contract at the club. "We've got the youngest team in Britain so we need to try and bring in a little bit more experience," McCulloch said. "But along with that, some more young and hungry players. "Other teams are making signings and getting word out there that they want certain players." However with three Kilmarnock players involved with the Scotland under 20's side that beat Brazil at the Toulon Tournament, including Greg Taylor who scored the winner, he has plenty of confidence that the young players will deliver for him. McCulloch also revealed he spoke to some supporters groups about the prospect of him becoming the manger on a permanent basis, "wanting to make sure they were happy". "It's important to get backing from supporters, it's important that everyone is together, because we need to try and get into the community to get people back in to the stadium," McCulloch added. Encouraging more fans through the turnstile is a priority for the new Kilmarnock manager at a club he believes is "a sleeping giant". "We've an 18,000 all-seater stadium here and we're averaging 3,000 people a game, so we need to try and get everyone together, start connecting with the community and getting winning displays on the pitch," McCulloch said. "I've been here as assistant manager for the last two and a half years, now it's straight into management so it came quicker than what I expected, but it's a challenge that I'm really looking forward to taking on." There are about 37,000 people living with the virus - but campaigners say as many again are undiagnosed. A meeting in Edinburgh on Tuesday will call on the NHS to alter its focus so Scotland can be free of the disease by 2030. The Scottish government published a new policy on sexual health and blood borne virus treatment in 2016. Scotland has a good record on tackling Hepatitis C, a disease affecting the liver, and often associated with drug injecting. A greater proportion of those affected have been treated here than any other UK nation. But the charity Waverley Care said Scotland also has the highest prevalence of the virus in the UK and 1,800 new cases are diagnosed each year, which meant a different approach should now be adopted. It said an "informal inquiry" has been established into the eventual elimination of the disease, which chief executive Grant Sugden said was achievable as new treatment options mean Hepatitis C is now curable. He said: "The NHS in Scotland is only treating the most severe cases at the moment. "But we must work with those who have presented with the virus, but whose symptoms are not severe at the moment and crucially we must do more to diagnose those living with HCV, but who have not been diagnosed." The Scottish government said it had long been at the forefront of addressing Hepatitis C and was committed to playing its part in helping achieve the World Health Organization's goal of eliminating the virus as a public health threat by 2030. Ivan McKee, SNP MSP for Provan, who will chair the meeting in Edinburgh said: "To succeed, we need to support and encourage a flexible approach to help NHS Scotland and health boards to drive forward elimination by developing new models of care and improving access to screening, diagnosis and treatment. "This will help to ensure Scotland's ongoing commitment to addressing HCV in a robust and sustainable way and support those with HCV to clear the virus and move on positively with their lives." Waverley Care has launched a scheme focusing on prisoners - it is estimated that one in five of those in Scottish jails are living with HCV. Operating at Scotland's largest prison, Barlinnie, it aims to support those released at the end of their sentence with services for housing, education and healthcare and help them access treatment for HCV. Billy Davidson, Waverley Care's prison link worker at Barlinnie, said prisoners who were HCV positive could easily obtain treatment while serving their sentence. But he added: "One of the biggest challenges is them falling out of the healthcare system once released. "Often it's because they don't have support with practical issues, like finding somewhere to live or getting a job. "By working with prisoners to plan for their release, we can make sure the right support is in place and help them to access the treatment that will allow them to clear their Hepatitis C." Marcus Kac has passed charges against Mr Hickey and fellow Irishman Kevin Mallon to a judge, who will decide whether to accept or reject them. The prosecutor accused Mr Hickey of four offences including ticket touting and acting as part of a criminal organisation. Both men have denied any wrongdoing. Mr Hickey and Mr Mallon have spent time in Rio's notorious Bangu Prison but were released on bail in August. Mr Hickey, 71, has formally stood aside as president of the Olympic Council of Ireland and European Olympic Committees' president during the investigation. Mr Mallon is the Dublin-based director of THG Sports, a corporate and sports hospitality company. Timeline: Olympic ticket-sale scandal Another eight men were also listed on the charge sheet, RTÉ News reported. Speaking to the Irish national broadcaster, Mr Kac said the judicial process could take as long as two years before the case came to court. He said it was very possible the passports of Mr Hickey and Mr Mallon would be returned to them, on the expectation they would come back to the country when the case reached court. Mr Mallon met police for further questioning on Monday and Mr Hickey is expected to be questioned again on Tuesday. In a statement, the Hickey family said: "Our dad, Pat Hickey, will not be making any comment in the police station at his pre-arranged questioning. "He will be invoking his constitutional right to silence because the Brazilian police have released documents to the media that Pat's lawyers have had no access to." It has long been one of the world's biggest killers so what has changed and is eradication now a possibility? Malaria is caused by a parasite called plasmodium which initially hides in the liver before going into the bloodstream and infecting the red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body. The parasites breed and burst out of red blood cells every 48 to 72 hours and each eruption of parasites is accompanied by a bout of fever, chills and sweating. The parasites are spread from person to person by mosquitoes when they drink blood. A single bite from the high-pitched whining insects is all it can take to become infected. In 2000, there were 262 million cases of malaria infection and 839,000 people died. The latest report by the World Health Organization and Unicef said malaria death rates had fallen by 60% and the cases had fallen by 37% . They estimate that 6.2 million lives have been saved, with the vast majority being children. In Africa, it is estimated that 700 million cases of malaria have been prevented since 2000 and it is no longer the biggest cause of death on the continent. Efforts to control malaria focus on preventing people being bitten by mosquitoes and treating them once they have malaria. In Africa: Two thirds of at-risk children around the world are now sleeping under insecticide treated nets. Two forms of resistance are threatening to undo the progress made. In South East Asia, the malaria parasite is able to shrug off the effects of the drug artemisinin. The drug is supposed to be used in combination with other drugs to prevent resistance however there are concerns about how the drug is being used. Artemisinin resistance has been spreading and is now on the verge of entering India and experts have described that as both "alarming" and an "enormous threat". Meanwhile, some mosquitoes are becoming resistant to the drugs used to coat the bed nets. There has already been great progress in tackling malaria with the disease being driven out of Europe, North America, the Caribbean and parts of Asia and South-Central America. The WHO says 13 countries that had malaria in 2000 no longer have any cases of the disease and a further six reported fewer than 10 cases. It shows the disease can be eliminated from countries and potentially could be eradicated completely. However, sub-Saharan Africa remains the epicentre of the disease and there are still hundreds of thousands of cases on the continent each year. It will require further significant progress here before talk of eradication is taken seriously. Community leaders said despite talks with police, it was better to shut to "avoid any confrontation" during the Wales Portugal match. Two cafes, a restaurant and a shop will shut at about 18:00 BST for "a number of reasons", not just fears of tension. But they said there has been an increase in verbal abuse following the EU referendum result. Wrexham Welsh centre Saith Seren has invited the Portuguese community to watch the match. Iolanda Banu Viegas, chair of the Portuguese speaking community group of Wrexham, said: "They all spoke to police about security measures but they all decided that to avoid any confrontation it was better to just close down. "There is definitely a fear. It's sad because of the sense that we want to be able to celebrate together. "We have all been cheering for Wales until this match - and our children who were born here all want Wales to win." Ms Viegas said Portuguese people had had windows smashed and cars damaged during previous football matches. She added: "There has been no physical violence following the referendum result - but we have had some verbal abuse. "It's something I've heard from Portuguese people across England and Wales." Marc Jones, chair of Saith Seren, said it was a "tiny minority" that had been causing issues. "I know anecdotally there has been tension post the referendum," he added. "But obviously there have been some concerns, and it's a precaution from their point of view. They want to avoid anything that antagonises anyone. "Its a shame. They have been here for a long time, they are very well-established and integrated. "I have invited Iolanda and anyone else who wants to come to the Saith Seren this evening - they will get a very warm and robust welcome. I'm sure there will be a lot of banter and signing." Police said there has not been an increase in reported hate crime and community tensions in North Wales since the EU referendum. North Wales police and crime commissioner Arfon Jones said: "Hate crime of any kind is a shameful and appalling act and will not be tolerated by north Wales police." North Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable, Richard Debicki said: "I would like to reassure all of our communities across North Wales that we will do everything that we can to protect them from this kind of crime. "Please do not suffer in silence. If you are concerned or have fallen victim to any sort of abuse or harm motivated by hatred, then contact us." Scotgold Resources is targeting "first pour" production of 500 ounces of gold by the end of this year. It wants to crush 2,400 tonnes of ore which has already been extracted at its Cononish site near Tyndrum. The relatively low-cost bulk processing trial is to help persuade potential investors to back the larger project. The company, based in Australia, has had lengthy funding problems, and reports that it still has not secured adequate investment on terms it finds acceptable. It is claimed that the planned method of crushing ore and gravity-based centrifugal sifting, rather than the use of chemicals, means the initial output can be classified as "ethical". Market research suggests that its Scottish origins may also command a premium price, it is claimed. Scotgold Resources is seeking planning permission from Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park authority for the new phase of work. If approved, it will start in May and run for six months. It will require £140,000 worth of new equipment installed in a shed which is already in place. The stockpiled ore is reckoned to contain 7.9 grammes of gold per tonne, and 39 grammes of silver. The target is to produce a doré, an impure ingot, including 150 ounces of gold. Further processing of 160 tonnes of crushed ore, which would be carried out off-site, is intended to produce a further 350 ounces. In recent weeks of stock market turmoil, the international price for gold has risen significantly. However, the project has been delayed by previous falls in the price of gold, lack of finance, and problems with planning permission. The company had £446,000 in cash at the end of December. Nat le Roux, the chairman and main shareholder, has promised to fund any shortfall in seeing through the bulk processing trial. Scotgold chief executive Richard Gray said: "This is the most tangible and exciting development undertaken by the company since incorporation. "In addition to anticipated positive technical results, the trial will produce an historic "first pour" gold output, sufficient to determine whether there are grounds to review the mine development plan and moreover to establish Cononish as a low-cost, low-risk, near-term production, gold project." The FA plans to increase prize money, but could introduce a "unity" payment to split funds more equally. Clubs receive an extra payment each time a tie they are involved in is televised live, meaning some earn much more money than others. "I think it should be the same as it is now," said boss Adams, whose side have earned £1m from this season's FA Cup. Argyle will have at least three games televised this season. Their second-round replay at Newport County netted them £36,000, the third-round 0-0 draw at Liverpool earned them £144,000 and they will get £72,000 for their replay at Home Park on 18 January. Coupled with prize money and gate receipts from five games, including their share of the 52,692 crowd at Liverpool, Argyle's earnings from the run represent around 20% of the club's annual turnover. "A lucrative tie can help clubs massively, we've seen that in the past in being able to help clubs improve their infrastructure," added Adams. "The way it is just now makes it even better. Everyone sitting around their television on a Monday night waiting for the draw is what it's all about. Everyone wants to get that big Premier League team." Rhyl's landmark Sun Centre was demolished in September to pave way for the regeneration, despite calls to save it. Denbighshire council approved plans for the new leisure facility in January. The development will create 60 jobs and attract 350,000 additional visitors to the town every year, the council said. The proposal is for a 12,916 sq ft (1,200 sq m) water space, with indoor and outdoor slides, a children's play area, climbing facilities and an outside splash pool, cafe terraces and a bar. Detailed plans are now being prepared and will be submitted to the council's planning department in April. If permission is granted, work will begin in September 2017, with the new facilities opening in early 2019. As part of the redevelopment, Rhyl's skate park and paddling pool will be moved. The council said it would consult with young people on the design of the park. Council leader Hugh Evans said: "The development is an essential element of efforts to increase footfall in the town, create jobs and increase spend in the local economy. "There is a lot of anticipation into how the new water park will look and we hope this really gives people a flavour of the ambitious and exciting development that is being proposed." The cost-cutting exercise will also see an additional 17,000 civilian employees cut from the army. The plan, which could be officially announced later this week, would see the US troop level drop to about 450,000 soldiers by the end of 2017. The US army had about 570,000 troops in 2012 at the height of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. A drastic cut like this has long been on the table - in early 2014, the then Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel proposed trimming the active-duty Army to 450,000 personnel, after two costly foreign wars. Nearly 10,000 US troops still remain in Afghanistan after plans for a gradual withdrawal were delayed until 2016. In Iraq, there are about 3,500 military personnel helping Iraqi forces take on the Islamic State (IS) group. There are also US troops being used to train Syrian rebels against IS, but it was revealed on Tuesday that only 60 Syrians are in training. The planned army staffing levels would be the lowest since 1940, a year before the US entered World War Two, when it employed about 270,000 active-duty soldiers. A year before the 11 September 2001 attacks, the level was about 480,000. The army would have to cut a further 30,000 troops if automatic budget cuts known as sequestration come into effect in October, according to USA Today. The 23-year-old, from Manchester, was injured at the Pier Jam event, attended by about 2,000 people on Saturday night, police said. Two men, aged 20 and 26, have been arrested on suspicion of wounding and attempted murder. A 30-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy were also taken to hospital with minor stab wounds. Det Insp Gareth Willis said: "This was an extremely serious incident and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this to contact us." Media playback is not supported on this device The first top-level case of "technological fraud" came to light after a bike was seized at the Cyclo-cross World Championships on Saturday. Belgium's Femke Van den Driessche, who was riding it, said she knew nothing about the device and that the bike belonged to someone else. But the International Cycling Union (UCI) is investigating and the bike manufacturer is threatening legal action against Van den Driessche. Cycling has a long and chequered history of cheating, with those seeking to gain an illegal advantage traditionally using drugs. There are numerous examples of blood dopers, with the most notorious being Lance Armstrong. The American was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after being accused of the "most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen". Now, just when it looked like cycling was cleaning up its act, a new threat has emerged: doped cycles. Nothing has been proven yet but there have been plenty of rumours, not to mention allegations, against some of the world's top riders. Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara was accused of "mechanical doping" in 2010 after an Italian film released on YouTube claimed to show how the Olympic time trial champion used a battery-powered motor. In 2014, the UCI investigated allegations that Canada's Ryder Hesjedal used a motorised bike after video footage seemed to show the rider's wheel moving by itself following a crash at the Vuelta a Espana. Cancellara and Hesjedal denied the allegations, calling them "stupid" or "ridiculous". Former Tour de France champion Alberto Contador has also been forced to deny allegations of using a motor-powered bike. Motorised bikes are available to the public and designed to encourage people to take up cycling, although it costs thousands of pounds to buy a basic model. Riders still have to pedal them, but they can also get assistance from a battery-powered engine. "It isn't a scooter, you need to work hard yourself," says Harry Gibbings, chief executive of Typhoon, a company that builds these kind of bikes. "You have to cycle and then you push a button. The silent motor is engaged and, to the person on the bike, it feels like someone is giving them a push." The motor can produce up to 250 watts of power and gives motorised assistance up to a speed of 25km an hour. Former Olympic cyclist Rob Hayles believes the advantage of using a motorised bike is huge, especially during hill climbs. "If you are averaging say 350 watts for a 200km race and if you can generate an extra 50 watts, then that is a big percentage," he says. "It would be the equivalent of attacking off the front and going solo but feeling like you are on the wheel, slip-streaming. "To get that advantage without actually being behind anyone is enormous. It is a bigger advantage than doping. With doping, your body still has to do the work." A report in cyclo-cross magazine Grit.cx said UCI officials were seen using a tablet-like device to check for mechanisms inside the frame of Van den Driessche's bike. Apparently, the device used electromagnetic-based technology to help detect the secret motor. Once officials decided closer inspection was needed, they removed the seat post to find wires poking out. The UCI says it has been taking the issue of technological fraud "extremely seriously" for many years, adding it had recently been trialling new methods of detection. It also says it is using industry "intelligence" and random testing to try to catch cheats, revealing it carried out 100 tests at the Cyclo-cross World Championships. Two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has urged the UCI to start checking bikes more regularly after hearing "rumours" of hidden motors. "Maybe," says Hayles, a cycling commentator for BBC Radio 5 live. "Cheating is cheating. But if doping is already over stepping the mark, then this is like kicking the door in. "People are always looking for advantage - look at the lengths that people went to with doping - but this is more of an advantage than any drugs could give you." BBC cycling reporter Matt Slater adds: "While the degrees of cheating might change, the essential act of trying to get one over on your rivals has not,. "That much is hard-wired into the part of the cyclist that has not changed at all in a century: the brain. "So some cyclists are cheats, just as some accountants, bankers and cooks are cheats. The human being is a flawed machine." Less than a week old and still fully furred, the male grey seal pup was spotted lying on rocks by men working on the new Forth Road crossing. As the men approached the pup he fell off the rocks and into the water. Grey seal pups cannot swim well until they have lost all their fur so the workmen fished the pup out of the water and called the Scottish SPCA. Animal rescue officer Joanna McDaid took the seal to the charity's national wildlife rescue centre at Fishcross, Alloa, where he is now receiving treatment and care. Staff have named him Tiller. Centre manager Colin Seddon said: "Tiller is our first grey seal pup of the season and he's quite unusual in that he was found in an area that is not a known pupping ground. "He could have been washed off the established pupping ground at nearby Inchkeith Island or his mother may have been young and inexperienced. "It sounds as though he took fright when he was approached and slid off the rocks and into the water which is bad news for a newborn seal pup as their thick fur coats act like a sponge and absorb water so he's unlikely to have survived on his own for long. "Thankfully, the men scooped him out of the sea and called us for help." He added: "He's being tube-fed fish soup at the moment and that will continue for the next few weeks until he's old enough and strong enough to feed himself." The Scottish SPCA is now urging members of the public to contact its animal helpline if they see a distressed seal pup lying on the shore this winter, adding that they could be doing more harm than good by approaching or picking it up. The first case of Ebola in Monrovia was treated there and shortly afterwards infection spread through the facility - claiming the lives of 12 doctors and nurses, including the head surgeon. The World Health Organization says more than 800 health workers were infected in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the three countries most affected by the disease, with 509 of those - mainly local staff - dying. It has been a major blow to countries that had very few qualified health workers in the first place. "It was bad because every day you get up, you hear this person is Ebola-positive and you keep going through the motions - I touched that patient too," recalls Dr Nouuieh Gorpudolo, who worked closely with the surgeon who died. Mistrust grew within the community of the nearly 500,000 people whom the hospital was serving, and, at one point, some people besieged the facility and pelted it with stones, saying it was the source of Ebola. The hospital was subsequently closed, like many others across the affected countries. During the time it was shut, the facility was refurbished, but it has now reopened to the public and more people are confident of getting treatment there. The changes are visible - at the entrance, a staff member wearing protective gear and a knapsack sprays the soles of the shoes of every person entering the hospital, then there is a temperature check and a hand-washing point with chlorine solution. The hospital has also introduced a triage form with a checklist of Ebola symptoms. "We go through the form and send a health worker to conduct an interview again... and check the temperature again," says Dr Gorpudolo. On an average day, the hospital's lobby is full of patients waiting to be seen. "Before the Ebola epidemic we used to see about 500 patients at the maternity wing a month. At the peak of the outbreak around July last year it dropped to 31 but this past month we've seen 531," adds Dr Gorpudolo. He is among a handful of doctors serving the West African state, which has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in the world. In all, the Ebola outbreak killed more than 11,000 people and on Friday, the presidents of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are meeting donors in New York to raise funds for their countries' post-Ebola recovery. The meeting was organised by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to help the three countries, who have a total combined budget of $2.1m (£1.3m), to rebuild their health systems over the next two years. "Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone entered the Ebola epidemic with severely underfunded health systems," said Matshidiso Moeti, the WHO's regional director for Africa. "After a year of handling far too many severely ill patients, the surviving staff need support, better protection, compensation, and reinforcements. The existing facilities need a complete overhaul, and many new structures need to be built. If another outbreak strikes, the toll would be far worse." Ebola has exposed the need to have more health workers - not just doctors. Liberia's minister for health Bernice Dahn says many doctors fled the country during the civil war. Now, she says, the ministry's recovery plan post-Ebola prioritises increasing the health workforce. "The package includes bringing in foreign medical practitioners and we're giving priority to Liberians who are willing to come back home," Ms Dahn adds. She hopes to employ about 4,000 more health workers. "Our plan is to scale up the community health workforce to be able to do health promotion and dispense (medicine) and treat minor diseases." The WHO's representative in Liberia, Alex Gasasira, says part of the reason Ebola overwhelmed the country was because of weak health systems. There was no laboratory to test samples of the virus. "The specimen would have to be collected, transported to Monrovia then flown out of the country to be tested." The local community told the BBC there were only two privately owned ambulances. But following the intervention of the international community during the outbreak, many shortcomings have been rectified. "We now have 45 ambulances," says the health minister. There are also more supplies like personal protective equipment and essential drugs provided mainly by aid organisations in response to the Ebola crisis. But they will not be sufficient in the long term because the organisations will wind up their operations as the outbreak ebbs. "Many Liberian health workers have been trained in (testing of viral haemoragic fever samples) and laboratories have been built," adds Dr Gasasira. Compared with developed economies, Liberia, as well as Sierra Leone and Guinea, still has a long way to go to having resilient health systems that won't crumble again in the face of a large outbreak of an infectious disease. Wokingham Borough Council granted planning permission to redevelop Elms Field Park between Wellington Road and Shute End on Wednesday. Under the plans a supermarket, restaurants and a boutique cinema will also be built as part of the regeneration of the town centre. Work is expected to begin next year. It is due for completion in by mid-2019. Wedi'r cyfan enw'r Archdderwydd ydy Geraint Lli-fon.

The government gave a £9,000 grant to Project WD, a clothing factory in Swansea owned by Judie Thomas. But an investigation by the Insolvency Service revealed another company owned by her went into liquidation in 2015 owing £129,322. She also owed £95,322 to HM Revenue and Customs and a contractor £32,977. Ms Thomas did not give all the information she needed to her accountant and did not authorise her accountant to tell HMRC about the errors she had made, it was also found. The Insolvency Service official receiver Stephen Baxter said: "This disqualification demonstrates that directors who fail in their obligations and cause creditors to lose money can expect to be investigated by the Insolvency Service, and enforcement action taken to remove them from the market place." Earlier this year, BBC Wales discovered that Project WD was awarded £9,000 from the Welsh Government's ReAct scheme, which aims to get unemployed people back to work. Some of those employed by Ms Thomas under the scheme have been pursuing legal action for unpaid wages. Ms Thomas, who was previously made bankrupt, has been a director at five companies. Project WD recently went into liquidation. The parents of TJ Martin, who had died after being born with a rare disease, appealed for witnesses after the theft that took place while they were burying their son. The laptop was used to show pictures of TJ during the service. It was stolen from Pentecostal City Mission Church in Willesden, north-west London, on 2 November. TJ was born with Candle syndrome, a rare disorder characterised by inflammation and fever, and spent much of his life in hospital. Scotland Yard said a man was arrested and charged with burglary on Saturday. Franklyn Mathurin, 47, of no fixed address, appeared at Hendon Magistrates' Court on Monday. He will appear in custody for a case management hearing on 14 December. Ian Shanks, a banker who worked with the club to manage its debt, told the High Court in Glasgow that Mr Whyte said he "intended" to put cash into the club. Mr Whyte is accused of a fraudulent acquisition of Rangers. He denies a charge of fraud and another under the Companies Act. An email was read to the court from March 2011 in which Mr Shanks told his boss at Lloyds Banking Group that he did not want the issue of Mr Whyte's intent to be a "stumbling block" to any agreement. Mr Shanks said in the email: "If Craig doesn't inject the cash he will be hounded by the fans and not (Sir David) Murray." In 2011, in the months before the takeover, the club owed Lloyds Banking Group about £23m. Mr Shanks, a relationship director within Lloyds, said the debt had reduced by about £10m since 2009 as the bank worked to "reduce its exposure" with both Rangers and the Murray Group. Defence QC Donald Findlay suggested it was known there were no guarantees over future spending during the takeover, and that the situation was simply "I will if I can". The witness agreed. Letters sent between then-Rangers chief executive Martin Bain and Mr Shanks were also read in court in which Mr Bain discussed the prospect of "reviewing the bank's representation on (Rangers') board", referring to Murray Group directors Mike McGill and Donald Muir. Mr Shanks said the two men were installed by the major shareholder, Murray Group, as part of a condition with the bank but that Lloyds was not controlling the club. Referring to the letter, Mr Findlay said they were "clearly seen as the bank's men". Mr Shanks replied: "That's his view." The court heard that both Mr McGill and Mr Muir were "incentivised" to sell the club. Asked who was in charge of the sale of Rangers, Mr Shanks said: "The Murray Group. There was strong involvement from the bank to get our debt repaid." Other email discussions between Mr Shanks and colleagues were read which discussed the potential of removing banking facilities to Rangers and changing the board in the run-up to the May 2011 takeover. Mr Findlay asked if this was intended to threaten and put pressure on the board to approve the deal. Mr Shanks replied: "Leverage", adding that it was "negotiation tactics". Earlier, the witness had denied applying pressure over the sale. Mr Shanks said he first became aware of Whyte's offer for the club at the end of 2010. When asked by Advocate Depute Alex Prentice QC if there was "something of substance" to the bid, the witness agreed. He said he attended a meeting with Whyte's representatives and was later sent details of a bid that agreed to pay off an £18m loan to Lloyds and restructure other debt. The bid was later revised twice, but Mr Shanks said the bank was "happy with the final bid, in the context of everything". Prosecutors allege Whyte pretended to Sir David Murray, and others, that funds were available to make all required payments to acquire a "controlling and majority stake" in the club. The Crown alleges Whyte had only £4m available from two sources at the time but took out a £24m loan from Ticketus against three years of future season ticket sales. The court has heard the sale was eventually made to Whyte for £1 but came with obligations to pay an £18m bank debt, a £2.8m "small tax case" bill, £1.7m for stadium repairs, £5m for players and £5m in working capital. The second charge under the Companies Act centres on the £18m payment between Mr Whyte's Wavetower company and Rangers to clear a bank debt. The trial before eight men and seven women continues on Wednesday.

It may sound far less dramatic, but the reason normally shy spies have been appearing in the media and opening up their normally secret facilities is because they know just how much is at stake for them as well as law enforcement in Wednesday's Investigatory Powers Bill. The aim of that bill is to completely overhaul the laws governing how the state, police and spies can access communications and other forms of data. Everyone - from spies to privacy activists - agree the existing laws are out of date and need an overhaul. The 15-year-old Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa) has been creaking at the seams, and many of the powers the state has exercised have been opaque. A major study by David Anderson QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, argued this made the current system "undemocratic". The opportunity is there, all sides say, to create a "world-class" system that is comprehensive and comprehensible. But the question will be how exactly does that system work and what will it allow? The Anderson review pointed the way to something of a consensus - the spies would keep their powers but make their use more transparent and with new oversight and authorisation controls. That means we should expect on Wednesday a clear outline of what powers the state has. These range from the well-known, such as gathering communications data (the details about but not the content of communications) and the interception of the actual content of emails and phone calls, through to the capabilities only recently revealed (in many cases in the wake of Edward Snowden) such as the collection and analysis of bulk data and so-called computer network exploitation (the fancy word for hacking into computers). Previously, the attitude of spies seemed to be one of security through obscurity to the point of absurdity. Before US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, many of the powers spies enjoyed were never discussed. And even when the first allegations came out, GCHQ was unable or unwilling to explain what precise laws authorised certain activities such as bulk data collection. Eventually, GCHQ explained it came under provisions of Ripa, which would lead to convoluted explanations impenetrable to almost everyone - referring to things such as the use of "16(3) authorisations to act as functional equivalents to 8(1) warrants when looking at data collected under an 8(4)". The legal basis for computer hacking was also slipped out earlier in the year under an "equipment interference code of practice", with almost no explanation. GCHQ may have been in the firing line because of Edward Snowden's allegations - but MI5 and MI6 also use bulk data and computer-hacking powers, and they too had relied on a veil of secrecy and obfuscation over their work that was no longer sustainable. So, for spies, the new law offers an opportunity to come clean with the public about what they can do and obtain consent for the continuation of powers they say (and independent voices like David Anderson concurred) are important to their role in protecting national security. The contentious issue will be how far the proposed legislation sticks narrowly to the Anderson consensus or moves beyond it. Here, there are two areas to watch. The first is the retention of details about people's web browsing (up to the first slash of a website address, which would let police see the websites people had visited but not the specific pages they had viewed) for 12 months by internet service providers so it can be requested by authorities. This is primarily driven by police. It was one of the controversial proposals of the abandoned 2012 bill that led to it being branded a "snooper's charter", and the Anderson review said that any proposal would require a detailed operational case to be made and a rigorous assessment would be needed on the lawfulness, effectiveness and intrusiveness. But while it has been hard to keep the spies off the airwaves and out of the pages of the newspapers in recent weeks, few would consider the police to have made their case for this power in public so far. The police are only now starting to make the point that internet connection data is increasingly important for their work - for instance, tracing people sharing child abuse images on the web or using internet-based communications platforms to plan or carry out traditional crimes or new forms of cybercrime. They argue that this merely updates the kind of power they have had to collect communications data from phones into the internet age. But they may be making their case too late in the day. For the public, any type of measure to reveal browsing history hits a nerve that other powers do not. Privacy advocates argue that the extent to which we live our lives online means the relative intrusion of having that browsing data collected and stored is much greater. There will be the additional question of security. What if hackers can get into their systems to steal and then sell or release browsing data? The breach of TalkTalk by hackers will do little to reassure those worried by this possibility. The second contentious issue will be whether ministers or judges sign warrants for the most intrusive form of surveillance such as interception of communications warrants. Currently, ministers sign off on interception warrants (the home secretary for most of those in the UK, the foreign secretary overseas). The Anderson review proposed that judges sign off many of those - although not all, since in areas of national security a minister would still sign but a judge would effectively check it. The issue of a greater judicial role has become something of a touchstone for privacy and civil liberty campaigners. Some ministers have worried that losing their role in signing off warrants will reduce the political accountability over law enforcement and intelligence operations and undermine what has been a close working relationship, but the consensus seems to have moved towards a stronger judicial role. The spies and police say they will work under any system and their only real concern is that it is flexible and speedy enough to deal with urgent requests. The judicial versus ministerial debate also has potentially important ramifications beyond the UK. Part of the push for judicial warrants is because supporters believe they will make it more likely that any system survives challenges at the European Court of Human Rights and because it may make it much more likely that a deal can be done with the United States to facilitate the co-operation of Silicon Valley companies in sharing data. The publication of the bill on Wednesday is only the start. It will then go to both Houses of Parliament for pre-legislative scrutiny, giving plenty of time for critics to pick over the details and potentially for the two contentious areas to be modified. And it will be the details that matter when it comes to whether a consensus emerges that really does provide a new licence to operate. The 27-year-old Austria international, who has made 110 appearances for the Potters, was their top scorer in the 2015-16 season with 12 goals. Arnautovic had been linked with a move to Everton. He joined Stoke for an undisclosed fee from Werder Bremen in September 2013 - one of Mark Hughes' first signings as the club's boss. Media playback is not supported on this device Referee Jon Moss controversially awarded West Ham a spot kick against leaders Leicester after Foxes defender Wes Morgan tangled with Winston Reid. Last Sunday's incident prompted a widespread debate about players tussling at set-pieces. "I think if you start to give penalties for that then it stops," said Koeman on Thursday. When Tottenham defeated Stoke 4-0 on Monday to cut Leicester's lead at the top of the table to five points, the lack of contact as players lined up for corners was noticeable. Koeman said he wanted consistency from referees over penalty decisions from corners. After Morgan was punished for grappling Reid, Leicester's appeals were dismissed after a similar 90th-minute incident involving Angelo Ogbonna and Robert Huth. "Everybody knows if you take somebody in his shirt or like a rugby player, you take your man in the box, it's a penalty," said the Dutchman. "If one day it's a penalty and even in the same game next time it's not, that doesn't help or make it clear for everybody." Jack Price raced in the 1908 London Olympics before founding an athletics club still in existence today. The runner, who died in 1965, has now been commemorated in his home town of Halesowen, West Midlands, following a campaign by his family. Grandson Micky Whitehouse, 74, said: "It has been my sole ambition to get him recognised." Born in 1884, Jack grew up in Shropshire but aged 17, walked 40 miles to Halesowen to find employment, landing a job at steelworks Stewarts & Lloyds. "But he never stopped running," Mr Whitehouse, said. "On a Sunday he'd run all the way to Shropshire to have breakfast with his mum and then get up and run back and have lunch with his family in Halesowen." In 1908, trials for the Olympics were held and Jack took part in the Midlands heats from Coventry to West Bromwich - a distance of 25.5 miles. "This was the first marathon held in England," said Bob Fowks, vice chairman of Halesowen Athletics Club. "They altered the distance later so the royal family could see the finishing line." Jack won in two hours, thirty-seven minutes and 13 seconds and was chosen for the 12-man United Kingdom team for the Olympic marathon, but despite leading for half the distance, he had to pull out in the 15th mile. In 1910, he won Edinburgh's Powderhall Marathon in atrocious conditions with a time of two hours and 40 minutes. He started Halesowen Athletics Club in 1922. It is also naming the road it is based on Jack Price Way. The annual rate slowed to 7.6% compared with 7.9% in the year to January, the ONS said. Price increases were particularly strong in the East and South West of England, where the ONS index reached a record high. Scotland remained the weakest part of the country, with prices falling by 0.8% over the 12 month period. The average cost of a house or flat is now £283,658, according to the ONS. Scotland Under-21 international McBurnie has yet to make an appearance for the Swans since signing from Bradford City in July 2015. The 19-year-old featured in three games on loan at Newport earlier this season, and scored a hat-trick on his debut. Bristol Rovers are currently sixth in the table, nine points outside the automatic promotion places. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The prince was not named, but he and four other Saudis were arrested after two tonnes of Captagon pills were found in cases being loaded on a private jet. The others charged in the case - three Lebanese and two Saudis - are at large. Captagon pills, which typically contain amphetamine and caffeine, are consumed widely in the Middle East. The drug has helped fuel the conflict in Syria, generating millions of dollars in revenue for producers inside the country as well as being used by combatants to help them keep fighting. Captagon, originally the trade name for the synthetic stimulant fenetylline, was first produced in the 1960s to treat hyperactivity, narcolepsy and depression. But it was banned in most countries by the 1980s because it was too addictive. In 2013, the UN said 64% of global seizures of amphetamine took place in the Middle East, and that most of the amphetamine was in the form of Captagon pills. Efforts to contest the results were "an attempt to subvert the express will" of the Gambian people, he said in a statement, Reuters news agency reports. State television reported that Mr Bojang had been sacked. The UN Security Council has called on President Jammeh to step down. He initially accepted that opposition leader Adama Barrow won the election, but then reversed his decision, citing electoral "abnormalities". "The Gambia has decided and we must accept and respect this decision," Mr Bojang said in his statement. He also spoke to Reuters by phone from neighbouring Senegal. In October Sheriff Bojang made headlines when he announced The Gambia's intention to pull out of the International Criminal Court (ICC). He described it as "an International Caucasian Court for the persecution and humiliation of people of colour, especially Africans". Mr Jammeh has ruled The Gambia since taking power in a coup in 1994. He has acquired a reputation as a ruthless leader. A trio of West African leaders, including Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, will travel to the country on Wednesday in a second bid to convince him to accept the results. The Gambia has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1965 and regional grouping Ecowas has placed forces on standby in case Mr Jammeh does not step down. Last week, the head of The Gambia's army gave his full backing to the president. Amaju Pinnick believes the African game can only benefit, even if the tournament may suffer early on. "At the beginning, you will see some problems but later it will start building up to the quality people know it for," the Nigerian told BBC Sport. "Trust me - it is not going to reduce the quality." Last week, Caf chose to both expand the Nations Cup - by an additional eight teams - and move its timing from January/February to June/July. You will now starting seeing big money for African players - massive transfers because they are now in line with the footballer calendar Pinnick, who presides over Caf's Nations Cup Organising Committee, believes African football will be 'redefined' as a result of the changes, citing benefits with regard to business, infrastructure and the sport itself. He says African companies are excited about the changes, that African players will become more prized and that more countries will benefit from new and/or reconstructed stadiums. Concerns over the quality of football aside, there are also questions about how many African countries have the capacity to actually stage a 24-team Nations Cup. The Caf executive committee member believes '10-12' countries could host on their own right now, but he also introduced the concept of 'regionalising.' "We are trying to encourage co-hosting and regionalising," said the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president in a wide-ranging interview. "If Nigeria and Ghana were to put up a bid for example, I would also advocate that they accommodate (neighbours) Togo and Benin. Nobody is pushing that for now but I am just giving an example of the possibility." In the meantime, the next Nations Cup hosts - Cameroon - must deliver a finals, in 2019, for 24 teams despite having bid for a 16-team event. Last week, the country denied reports it was behind schedule but Pinnick is not unduly concerned. "Cameroon is a major footballing nation and I believe they are going to be able to do it," he said. "They are very eager and excited." Firstly, the format for qualifying for the 2019 Nations Cup - which has already started - needs to be changed. Caf will meet in Morocco later this week to begin talks on how that process will change, with the next qualifiers set for next March. The switch of timing, meanwhile, has been broadly welcomed - with both African players and agents set to benefit given the Nations Cup will no longer clash with the middle of a European season. "You will now starting seeing big money for African players - massive transfers because they are now in line with the footballer calendar," said Pinnick. Nonetheless, any footballer in a team that qualifies for Nations Cups either side of a World Cup could find himself playing three extended seasons in a row. "I don't think there is any major concern," argued Pinnick. "I called nine Nigeria internationals (to check) and they said it was not an issue. I also asked my marketing agent who called some big African names in the Premier League and they said the same thing." Media playback is not supported on this device The argument of adverse weather - whether being too host in the North, too rainy in the West or too cold the Southern Africa - was regularly used by the previous Caf regime, under Issa Hayatou, as a reason to not move the timing. Pinnick believes infrastructural improvements can help solve some of the issues. "If you have a world-class pitch, you won't bother about rain because within minutes it will drain away," he said. Pinnick, who says many companies have backed the expansion, does not believe the Nations Cup will increase in size again - with any potential increase likely to feature over half the teams on the continent. "Anything can happen but I want to believe that this is where it should end." The 42-year-old, who also spent time coaching the Foxes' first team and second XI, will link up with Sri Lanka for a home series against Australia. Pothas said: "The opportunity to be involved in the game at the highest level is not one that I could pass up." Meanwhile, former Leicestershire player Carl Crowe has joined the club as second XI coach on a temporary basis. Leicester-born off-spinner Crowe, 40, played for the county between 1995 and 2009, helping them win the County Championship in 1998. He has also worked with the England Women's team since 2010. "I'm looking forward to returning to Leicestershire County Cricket Club for a few weeks and supporting the coaches," said Crowe, who will stay with the club until the end of the season. Pothas had a long playing career with Hampshire and after retirement, he took up a director of cricket and coaching role with Guernsey. "We're disappointed to lose a coach of Nic's calibre but this is a wonderful opportunity for him and we understand his decision," said Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan. Pothas added: "I will be forever grateful to Leicestershire County Cricket Club for the opportunity to join at an exciting time. "The structure at the club means that they will continue to move forward at pace. "I'm also thankful to Wasim Khan and Andrew McDonald for being extremely supportive and understanding the decision." The deal requires tax rises and more tough spending cuts in return for an EU bailout of about €85bn (£61bn, $95bn) - Greece's third in five years. Eurozone finance ministers are meeting to vote on the plan in Brussels. A deal is needed to keep Greece in the eurozone and avert bankruptcy. But it is risky for Greek PM Alexis Tsipras. More than 40 MPs from his left-wing Syriza party voted against him on Friday. Reports in Greece suggest he will seek a vote of confidence in parliament next week, bringing the prospect of snap elections closer. The deal received: Mr Tsipras has so far relied on the support of pro-European opposition parties to pass the controversial measures. Syriza was elected on an anti-austerity platform. Makis Voridis, an MP with the opposition New Democracy, said his party would not support the PM in a confidence vote, Reuters news agency reported. Thirty-one Syriza members voted "No", and 11 abstained - the biggest rebellion within Mr Tsipras's party so far. The rebels represented almost a third of Syriza's MPs. Greece bailout vote: Latest updates Third Greece bailout: What are eurozone conditions? PM defends 'painful' decision - Paul Adams, BBC diplomatic correspondent, Athens After more than seven hours of often passionate, bad-tempered debate, all through the night, the Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, has got his way. The bailout bill has passed by a comfortable majority. Towards the end of the debate, Mr Tsipras defended what he called a painful but responsible decision. He said the country had no choice. This was not a triumph, he said, but nor was Greece in mourning. The bill may have passed, but Mr Tsipras has paid a heavy political price. Almost a third of his own Syriza party members voted against the bailout, even more than expected. They believe the prime minister has comprehensively betrayed election pledges to turn his back on austerity. In theory, Mr Tsipras has lost his parliamentary majority and his government is hanging by a thread. It's being widely reported he'll seek a vote of confidence next week, bringing the prospect of snap elections in the autumn that much closer. But for now, the scene is set for eurozone finance ministers, meeting in Brussels later in the day, to give the bailout their seal of approval. Nick Malkoutzis: Greece's Tsipras risks red lines in eurozone deal The marathon all-night session was marked by procedural delays and often angry exchanges in parliament. Voting started just after 09:30 local time (06:30 GMT), more than six hours after the main debate began. A "Yes" vote by MPs was required for eurozone ministers to endorse the deal to release the funds. Greece must repay about €3.2bn to the European Central Bank (ECB) on 20 August. If it defaults on this debt, the ECB is likely to stop emergency funding for Greece's crippled banks. One of Mr Tsipras's most vocal critics within his own party was his former ally, parliamentary speaker Zoe Konstantopoulou. She said she could not support the deal, and delayed the debate by raising several concerns - to the PM's visible frustration Another Syriza MP, Panagiotis Lafazanis, told Mr Tsipras: "I feel ashamed for you. We no longer have a democracy, but a eurozone dictatorship." Mr Tsipras told MPs they were facing a choice between "staying alive or suicide". He said: "I have my conscience clear that it is the best we could achieve under the current balance of power in Europe, under conditions of economic and financial asphyxiation imposed upon us." Rebels have insisted the government should make good on its electoral promise to reverse spending cuts and tax rises. Mr Tsipras survived similar revolts during two key votes in parliament in July, when MPs passed tough economic measures required for the deal to progress. Attempts to find a solution to the Greek debt crisis have been punctuated by marathon talks and late-night or early morning votes. Other recent occasions where Greek MPs have carried on debating into the small hours include: How did Yanis Varoufakis do? Greek debt talks in quotes The 35-year-old had been linked with Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell after playing second fiddle to Zander Clark for much of the season. But he regained his place in mid-March and will continue to fight for the number one jersey. The former Linfield player has made 202 appearances for Saints since joining from Shamrock Rovers in 2011. Mannus made only 18 appearances, having lost his place in August. Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) Group said it would be rebranding Barnsley Building Society and Chelsea Building Society under its own name. The move will see 22 of the group's 230 branches close, including six Barnsley and seven Chelsea branches. YBS said 13 jobs were at risk, but most staff would be redeployed. The group merged with Barnsley Building society in 2008 and Chelsea Building Society in 2010. The Barnsley branches marked for closure are in Cudworth, Doncaster, Mexborough, Rotherham, Wakefield and Wombwell, while the Chelsea Branches include Croydon, London Kings Road, Exeter, Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton and Westminster. The branches that remain open will be rebranded as Yorkshire Building Society. Nine Yorkshire branches will also shut. A YBS spokeswoman said the closures largely fall where branches were less than a mile apart, and would happen between April and September. Chief executive Chris Pilling said the changes would make the group "more efficient" and support the changing needs of its members. "Our branch network always has been, and remains, at the heart of our business, providing the face-to-face service that many of our members prefer," he said. The group said its Norwich & Peterborough Building Society branches would not be affected by the overhaul. The 26-year-old Canadian appointed former Wimbledon champion Krajicek in December and reached two finals. He failed to win a title, however, and lost in the last 16 of the French Open to world number 21 Pablo Carreno Busta. "This decision has been a mutual one," Raonic said. "I would like to thank Richard for his help with my game, his dedication and professionalism." Father-of-four Syed Hoque, 37, of Stoke-on-Trent, smuggled £4,500 to help his nephew buy a gun, a court heard. He and his "fixer", 28-year-old Mashoud Miah, from east London, were convicted of funding terrorism in December. Hoque was handed a five-and-a-half year sentence at the Old Bailey, while Miah was jailed for two and a half years. More on this and other stories Stoke and Staffordshire The court heard Hoque received messages on WhatsApp from Mohammed Choudhury, his 26-year-old nephew who was fighting with a group affiliated to al-Qaeda, begging for money to buy a Dragunov sniper rifle. He was then put in touch with Miah, a gas engineer who had travelled to and from Syria with Muslim community-led aid convoys in 2012 and 2013. During the trial Hoque said he believed Syrian President Bashar Assad was a "tyrant" who was "killing indiscriminately" and his nephew had told him he was travelling to Syria for "humanitarian" reasons. Lawrence McNulty QC, defending Hoque, said his client had "concern for the weak and the underprivileged", and claimed the UK government "has supported rebel groups" since 2005. Judge John Bevan QC said Hoque acted like "the only sheriff in town", adding it was "unattractive" he was "prepared to sacrifice" his nephew. Representing Miah, David Gottlieb said he "crossed the line and broke the law" because he had "seen the effects of the Assad regime". However, Judge Bevan said the defendants had "sought to abuse the legitimate aid convoys which depend on integrity if they are to function properly". "There is no such thing as noble-cause terrorism," he said. Chesney Hughes fell to the second ball of the day as Derbyshire lost wickets at regular intervals when play finally got under way at 16:00 BST at Hove. Derbyshire lost four wickets for 26 runs as Ajmal Shahzad (3-27) ran through the middle-order. Steve Magoffin took two wickets in four balls in the penultimate over, with only Shiv Thakor's unbeaten 44 helping Derbyshire reach 142-9 at stumps. England Saxons full-back Miller has scored seven tries in 35 appearances since signing from Sale in 2014. England Under-20s wing Bassett arrived from Bedford in 2013 and has scored 27 points in 21 appearances. Ireland Under-20s centre Macken is yet to make his first-team debut since signing from Leinster in May 2015. Wasps' new contract announcements came on the same day that they confirmed the impending departure of fly-half Alex Lozowski to Saracens at the end of this season. They follow the new contract deals announced for captain James Haskell and fellow loose forward Nathan Hughes last week. Haskell is one of four Wasps players in the first 33-man England squad named by new coach Eddie Jones for this year's Six Nations, along with lock Joe Launchbury, prop Matt Mullan and uncapped centre Elliot Daly. The body has yet to be formally identified but police believe it to be that of a 30-year-old woman who has been missing for six days. Pardeep Kaur was last seen on the afternoon of 16 October in Harlington High Street, west London. Two men, aged 30 and 31, who were arrested on Wednesday over Ms Kaur's disappearance, have been bailed. The Met is appealing for witnesses. Det Ch Insp Mark Dawson said: "At this early stage of the investigation I am appealing to any witnesses in the Carlton Avenue and Bedwell Gardens area who may have been driving to work to come forward as they may have seen Pardeep walking to work at about 06.30 BST on 17 October." Ms Kaur's next-of-kin have been informed of the discovery. The team, which competes in Para-dressage, is completed by 67-year-old Anne Dunham, who will be competing at her fifth Games after missing out on selection four years ago. Dunham, who has won five golds over her career, is set to be the oldest member of the ParalympicsGB team travelling to the Games in September. As well as bidding for individual titles, the riders will be hoping to maintain GB's unbeaten record at European, world and Paralympic level in the team competition that has stood since the sport was first introduced into the Paralympics in Atlanta in 1996. Pearson, 42, who already has 10 golds to his name since making his debut in Sydney in 2000, will ride his own horse, Zion, who he has paired with regularly in competition since London. "It's very surreal to be heading to my fifth Games and makes me sound very old," said Pearson. "I do feel surprised on selection, as it's such a strong squad - it makes you appreciate it even more." After winning three golds in London, Christiansen, 28, goes into the Grade Ia category for the most impaired riders where she will hope to get the better of team-mate Dunham. "I can't wait to see what Rio has to offer, it will be a very different Games to London but I think my time in Athens and Beijing has prepared me well," she said. "The Paralympic Games has grown massively since I made my debut in Athens and I can't wait to see where it goes in the future. I think that London was the pinnacle and I really hope that even though it's not a home Games, that people will get behind us again." Baker, 26, will ride her 2012 mount Cabral with the pair aiming to add to their two London golds, while Wells, 26, who was part of the victorious team four years ago, will be bidding for individual success on Valerius. The five riders bring a wealth of experience to the team and all represented GB at last year's European Championships in France where they won 11 medals, including three golds. GB team: Natasha Baker (Horse: Cabral), Sophie Christiansen (Athene Lindebjerg), Anne Dunham MBE (Lucas Normark), Lee Pearson (Zion), Sophie Wells MBE (Valerius) King, who won team pursuit gold at London 2012, had claimed the selection process had been unfair. The 25-year-old told BBC London: "I have been told they felt they had gone with the selection criteria." King had been the second-highest ranked British rider when she failed to gain selection in the GB team. Emma Pooley and Nikki Harris were chosen to support lead rider Lizzie Armitstead - despite both being ranked below her. King took advantage of a new route of appeal introduced by British Cycling following consultation with the British Olympic Association. "I don't think there's much I can do any more, so I will just be on that reserve spot for Rio," she added. King, who hopes to compete in the Road World Championships later this year, won the London stage of the Red Hook Criterium Championship Series on Saturday. The Rio Olympics get under way on 5 August. The enclaves, home to some 50,000 people, were created through local peace treaties in the 18th Century. New national flags were to be hoisted as a landmark accord between the two countries came into effect at midnight local time on Friday. Residents were asked to choose where they wanted to live and which nationality they would prefer. Most of the people living in the enclaves - 111 in Bangladesh and 51 in India - will stay where they are, but change nationality. The enclaves endured through British colonial rule and the independence first of India and more recently Bangladesh. After the partition of India in 1947, their inhabitants remained where they were - residents of one country but located inside the other, the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder reports. For six decades they have been treated as in effect stateless, but the agreement between India and Bangladesh means they will now finally gain a proper identity. Hitherto residents have had difficulty getting access to basic facilities such as education. In the Moshaldanga enclave, a five-year-old boy named Jihad Hussein Obama epitomises the freedom its citizens hope to experience now that the territories have been swapped. He is the first child to be born at an Indian hospital - with his real parents' name and location on the records. Bangladeshi enclave dwellers have had to usually fabricate their names and addresses to get treatment at Indian hospitals or even get admitted to Indian schools and colleges. His mother, Asma Bibi, said: "I was in labour pain and my husband took me to a hospital at closest Indian town of Dinhata. But the doctors refused to even see me saying I am a Bangladeshi and I am not supposed to get treatment there. I decided not to hide my identity that I am from an enclave." A verbal duel ensued which finally saw thousands of enclave dwellers gathered at the hospital. "After much pressure, my wife was admitted and Jihad was born - with our names registered at the hospital as his parents. This is the first time a baby was born in the enclaves with his real parents' name. Even my two elder kids were born with someone else's name as their parents. Officially I am not their father", said Shahjahan Sheikh. The overwhelming majority of people living in Indian enclaves in Bangladesh opted for Bangladeshi citizenship, AFP news agency reported. But nearly 1,000 chose to keep their Indian nationality, meaning they will leave their homes by November for India and be resettled in the state of West Bengal. In India, all the Bangladeshis living in the 51 Bangladesh enclaves decided to switch nationalities. Bangladesh endorsed a deal with India in 1974 in a bid to dissolve the pockets, but India only signed the final agreement in June when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Dhaka. Jamie Allen gave the Sandgrounders a first-half lead when he turned home Steven Hewitt's pass, but Ricky Miller levelled after goalkeeper Max Crocombe failed to gather a free-kick. Poor defending then allowed Allen to cross for Bishop to hit the winner and end Southport's eight-game winless run. Max Cartwright was sent off for the visitors late on for two yellow cards. Robert Czernik, 36, of Blackbird Close, Poole, denied two counts of selling goods likely to be mistaken for a registered trademark. City of London Police began an investigation in January 2016 after being contacted by Honda UK. Mr Czernik was bailed by a judge at Inner London Crown Court to appear for trial in the week of 11 September at the earliest. More on this and other stories from across the South of England The government-appointed trust was set up after the services at Sandwell Council were ranked "inadequate". Mrs Smith will head the new Sandwell Children's Social Care Trust which is being asked to bring "rapid improvements". She said she relished the opportunity of improving the lives of vulnerable children and families in Sandwell. Mrs Smith added: "My job is to help build that team by challenging us all to find the best ways to improve and innovate - and by making the trust a great place to work." For more on this and other West Midlands news Sandwell's children services was rated inadequate in June 2015 after another poor rating in 2013. Ofsted inspectors in 2015 said the department did "not fully understand the scale and prevalence of child sexual exploitation". "There are widespread and serious failures that create or leave children being harmed or at risk of harm," the report found:. An Ofsted inspection last year found "positive progress" had been made. The council said since the announcement in October 2016 that an independent trust would run the services, it had worked with commissioner Malcolm Newsam and the Department for Education. Council Leader Steve Eling welcomed Mrs Smith's appointment and her "wealth of experience". "With the setting up of the trust, we want to build on recent improvements with a board that will focus on providing a clear vision, be innovative and strive to deliver rapid and sustained improvements," he said. Harriet Harman said Labour's position was "not good enough" to take power at the next general election in 2020. Victory in Wales and the London mayoral poll showed the need to appeal beyond traditional supporters, she said. Labour only lost one seat in Cardiff Bay, but its vote share fell 7.6% in the constituency ballot. Speaking on BBC Radio Wales, Ms Harman congratulated Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones, who is expected to be re-nominated as first minister when the new assembly meets for the first time on Wednesday. But she added: "In Wales we've seen a fall in our share of the vote, which we are obviously concerned to address and understand people's concerns about us, what we should be doing more of and differently." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had acknowledged that Labour has to do "very much better" to get into government at Westminster, Ms Harman said. She said: "What [new London mayor] Sadiq Khan was saying - and no doubt this is echoing what Carwyn has been saying - is that you have to reach out beyond your traditional supporters." Labour must "broaden our appeal. We can't simply be a narrow party just appealing to our traditional base," Ms Harman added. The 31-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Seagulls this week after spending three years with Valencia. The Sussex side, who have not played in the top tier since 1982-83, finished 10th in the Championship last season. The right back told BBC Sussex: "That's the logical progression. This squad is being built to get into the Premier League and that is the objective." Media playback is not supported on this device Saltor says Brighton manager Gus Poyet played a large part in his decision to move to England. "At the start of the summer I knew that there was some interest," he continued. "I had the idea to leave Spain. "Of the offers that I had, Brighton's was the one I liked the most. "Gus was very insistent and it makes you feel wanted." The Hermes packages were being handed to their couriers next to a public road on an industrial estate in Northampton. Some of the couriers spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity and said the current system was a "shambles". Hermes said the situation arose because its usual depot provider had gone into liquidation. Pallets of parcels included those from major brands including Next, H&M, Panasonic and Groupon. BBC Radio Northampton found about 12 couriers loading items for delivery into their cars. Although none would give on-the-record interviews, they said they were all self-employed and if they did not meet the delivery times booked by customers they would not get paid. A spokesman for Hermes said: "We were informed without notice that one of our third-party sub depot suppliers had gone into liquidation, leaving us without our usual premises for sorting local parcels this morning. "In order to fulfil all orders on time, we implemented a quick and proven solution, monitored by three field managers and a depot supervisor, which allowed couriers to receive parcels at an agreed exchange point. "Alternative plans have now been put in place and due to this quick action we envisage there will be no delays to deliveries across the area." The 30-year-old, from Birmingham, was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop and for dangerous driving on Saturday. Police said a silver Vauxhall Signum was in collision with an HGV near Gloucester at about 07:20 BST. The car was stopped about an hour later outside Birmingham. Gloucestershire Police said a car and a lorry were seen to collide near junction 12 of the M5. The car was later stopped near junction 5 on the same motorway - some 40 miles away. The force said the man was taken to hospital "as a precautionary measure pending further police investigation". The 47-year-old Cambridge man accepted the caution after a fracas said to have involved about 15 people in Southend. A 41-year-old man, from Mildenhall, Suffolk, was found with serious head injuries near the Railway Pub. Police used CS spray to break up the fight. The pub is less than a mile from Roots Hall stadium where Southend United and Cambridge United drew 0-0 on Saturday. A 33-year-old Southend man and a 23-year-old man from Westcliff were arrested on suspicious of grievous bodily harm and later released on police bail. Essex Police had cordoned off East Street for forensic investigations. Police were called to the pub at about 19:20 GMT on Saturday. The Mildenhall man, who suffered serious head injuries in the incident, remains in hospital. Fans reportedly clashed with security during the Champions League match and tried to break into the away section. Legia denied racist chanting from home fans but apologised to those offended. Uefa is awaiting reports from the game which will then be considered by the disciplinary department. The former superintendent, Gordon Anglesea, was convicted of historical child sex offences last month. The claim made in court about the two officers was referred to the force's professional standards team. But Chief Constable Mark Polin said an internal inquiry had found "no evidence of misconduct... to this point". The National Crime Agency's Operation Pallial investigators discovered that in 2002 one of Anglesea's victims had passed a note to officers naming him as an abuser. Records indicated they took no further action. But Mr Polin said: "It has been investigated from a misconduct perspective and no evidence of misconduct has been found to this point." He went on to give assurances that nothing would be swept under the carpet: "Any allegations of misconduct will be investigated. They will be investigated thoroughly and objectively." Anglesea, 79, from Old Colwyn, was convicted of one charge of indecent assault against one boy, and three indecent assaults against another. He is due to be sentenced on Friday at Mold Crown Court. The 39-page book was privately bought for $1m in New York and is on loan to Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire. Notes on Notations was written while Turing was cracking German codes and provides a commentary of the language of mathematics. Sir Dermot Turing said the manuscript revealed his uncle had a sense of humour and was not "a total geek." He said: "It's quite clear he saw the code-breaking activity as a sort of fun pursuit to be fitted in around the intervals of doing what he considered to be his real profession, which was academic mathematician. "It's very different from the whole Enigma story that he was working on at the same time." BBC iWonder - Timeline of Alan Turing's life The notebook is one of just a handful of Turing's written manuscripts in existence. In it, he regards some mathematical formulae written by his contemporaries as "ugly" and "somewhat to be deplored". Sir Dermot said the subject matter provided no psychological insight in to Turing. But he added: "You do get a sense that this is not somebody who's a total geek, even though what he's doing is working on something that's really quite technical." The notebook had been left with close friend and student Robin Gandy. It was sold to an anonymous buyer in April 2015. Dr David Kenyon, research historian at Bletchley Park, said it was hard to overestimate the importance of Turing's codebreaking techniques, which appeared to be a "hobby on the side". He said: "Turing is thinking about something else a lot of the time... but he was able to turn some of that genius to codebreaking as and when required." The survey of Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) members found 51% said they or colleagues had taken steps to help less-affluent pupils. Many teachers said they had given pupils spending money for school trips and fairs. And 60% said they had seen an increase in the number of pupils in poverty. Other findings in the report included: Andrea Bradley, EIS assistant secretary for education and equality, said: "The results clearly underline that low-income poverty significantly blights the day-to-day educational experiences of the 260,000 children and young people now living in poverty in Scotland. "To the EIS, it is an outrage that over a quarter of the country's school-aged young people whose families are struggling on low income are prevented from benefiting, on an equal footing to the rest of their peers, from the many opportunities offered by the education system. "Urgent and decisive action at all levels of government is essential to prevent further damage. Children's education and life chances cannot continue to be sacrificed in the name of austerity." She welcomed additional funding for schools from the Scottish government but said it was "against a backdrop of successive years of under-funding of comprehensive education, which must be addressed". "Recent announcements around school governance, while perhaps having the potential to fill current gaps in the pedagogical support and professional learning opportunities available to schools, leave many bigger questions about the policies and resources required to close the poverty-related attainment gap unanswered," she added. A Scottish government spokeswoman said it had taken steps to mitigate the "UK government's policy of continued austerity", including an additional £120m into the hands of schools as part of a £750m total to help tackle the attainment gap. She added: "What's more, the Child Poverty Bill will see Scotland become the only part of the UK to propose statutory targets in a bid to reduce the number of children experiencing the damaging effects of poverty by 2030." But Scottish Labour claimed that "SNP cuts are ripping support out of schools". It called on the Scottish government to use all the powers available to it to ensure that pupils "can return to school with enough food in their bellies, the clothing and equipment they need to take part in lessons, and enough teachers and support staff." And Scottish Green MSP Alison Johnstone said new devolved social security powers meant Scotland could boost the incomes of families that are struggling. She said an example would be topping up child benefit by £5 a week, which she said would lift 30,000 children out of poverty. A section of sandstone surrounding a stained glass window high in the south transept fell off overnight. The cathedral is scheduled to be the venue for Battle of Jutland commemorations on Tuesday, with many dignitaries due to attend. It is thought that a section of the stonework fell about 70ft to the ground between Saturday and Sunday. Those attending the Battle of Jutland event on Tuesday will include the Duke of Edinburgh and Prime Minister David Cameron. Charles Piutau scored early for Wasps but Peter Betham intercepted Christian Wade's pass to give Tigers the lead. Wade immediately crossed at the other end and Piutau's second score gave the hosts a 22-10 half-time advantage. Further tries from Frank Halai and Nathan Hughes sealed victory for Wasps, although Telusa Veainu and Vereniki Goneva responded for Leicester. It was Wasps' first win over Leicester since a 22-12 victory at Adams Park in October 2013, allowing both them and Northampton, who were 26-11 winners over Sale, to overtake Tigers, who slip to fifth. Only five points separate Wasps from sixth-placed Harlequins in the race for a top-four play-off place. Jimmy Gopperth's early penalty and Piutau's opening try, following Ashley Johnson's break, got Wasps off to a flying start, but, despite being second best, Tigers hit back to lead when Wade gifted Betham a try. Wade made amends when he caught Gopperth's crossfield kick to go in at the corner, before Piutau extended the lead. Halai gave the hosts extra breathing space and, although Veainu and Hughes exchanged tries, Goneva's 76th-minute score came too late for Tigers to force a losing bonus point. Wasps director of rugby Dai Young: "It was a big statement. We know we have got the quality but sometimes you have to roll your sleeves up. "Twelve months ago Leicester were too physical for us in the contact area, they smashed us. "I thought today we controlled the gain line and we only started to concede when we went laterally. "I wasn't comfortable until 20 minutes to go when Nathan Hughes scored his try because I have huge respect for the Tigers and they keep going. Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill: "I was a bit disappointed with our defensive display at times but they took their opportunities well. "We conceded too many tries too easily. If you get broken that cleanly it's going to cost you. "Credit to the boys for sticking in there. We were playing for two points at the end but we were a bit under-powered in the backline. That hurt us." Wasps: Miller; Wade, C Piutau, S Piutau, Halai; Gopperth, Robson; McIntyre, Johnson, Cooper-Woolley, Cannon, Myall, Young, Smith (capt), Jones. Replacements: Shervington, Mullan, Swainston, Rowlands, Hughes, Stevenson, Lozowski, Macken. Leicester: Tait; Thompstone, Betham, Smith, Goneva; Burns, Kitto; Ayerza, Thacker, Mulipola, Fitzgerald, Barrow, Croft, McCaffrey, Slater (capt).

The bus driver, 56, from Burscough, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and later bailed. A statement described the mother-of-two as "a very private individual, but at the same time a true people person". "Nothing mattered more to Jackie than her family and friends, to whom she gave her endless energy," the statement said. "At the same time, Jackie devoted her life to a major blue chip company and had advanced to senior global management roles during her service of over 30 years."

Undocumented immigrants arrested for traffic violations or shop-lifting will be targeted along with those convicted of more serious crimes. The memos do not alter US immigration laws, but take a much tougher approach towards enforcing existing measures. There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the US. Five questions ahead of new US travel ban Liberty statue 'Refugees Welcome' banner White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Tuesday the new guidelines would not usher in mass deportations, but were designed to empower agents to enforce laws already on the books. "The president wanted to take the shackles off individuals in these agencies," Mr Spicer said. "The message from this White House and the Department of Homeland Security is that those people who are in this country, who pose a threat to our safety, or who have committed a crime, will be the first to go." The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) new blueprint leaves in place Obama-era protections for immigrants who entered the US illegally as children, affecting about 750,000 young people known as Dreamers. But it expands the more restricted guidance issued under the previous administration, which focused its policy on immigrants convicted of serious crimes, threats to national security or those who had recently crossed the border. Donald Trump's immigration order marks a sharp break with those Obama-era policies. Instead - according to the Department of Homeland Security implementation memos - the Trump administration essentially will "prioritise" the deportation of almost all undocumented immigrants, everywhere. The Homeland Security Department's list of prioritised "removable aliens" is so broad as to include just about every class of undocumented immigrant - with only a carve-out for individuals who entered the US as children. All this will require more money and manpower - and the Trump administration is going to ask Congress for the former and go on a hiring spree to address the latter. Local and state law-enforcement officials will also be allowed to arrest unauthorised immigrants. While Mr Obama aggressively enforced immigration law and ramped up deportations in some areas and at some times, there were notable instances where he de-emphasised action. In the Trump era immigration authorities are now being given the power to make a sea-to-sea, border-to-border push. The two memos released on Tuesday by the agency also allow Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport people immediately. During Mr Obama's presidency, expedited removals were applied to people who had been in the country for no more than 14 days and were within 100 miles of the border. Under the new guidance, agents can expedite deportations for undocumented immigrants who are unable to prove they have been in the country for more than two years, located anywhere in the US. Some of the new priorities include: The DHS plans to hire an extra 10,000 agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and 5,000 more border patrol officers to enforce the new guidance. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly wrote in one of the memos: "The surge of illegal immigration at the southern border has overwhelmed federal agencies and resources and has created a significant national security vulnerability to the United States." Mr Kelly's memo also includes instructions to enforce an existing provision of the US Immigration and Nationality Act that allows authorities to send some people caught illegally at the border back to Mexico, regardless of where they are from. It is unclear whether the US has authority to force Mexico to accept foreigners. It is a blueprint to implement executive orders that Mr Trump signed on 25 January, days after taking office. The new guidelines did not explain how Mr Trump's border wall would be funded and where undocumented immigrants apprehended in the crackdown would be detained. The memos instruct agents to use "all available resources to expand their detention capabilities and capacities", but Congress would probably need to allocate money to build new detention centres.

The Trump administration has issued tough guidelines to widen the net for deporting illegal immigrants from the US, and speed up their removal.

Air monitors in Switzerland have detected large quantities of one gas coming from a location in Italy. However, the Italian submission to the UN records just a tiny amount of the substance being emitted. Levels of some emissions from India and China are so uncertain that experts say their records are plus or minus 100%. These flaws posed a bigger threat to the Paris climate agreement than US President Donald Trump's intention to withdraw, researchers told BBC Radio 4's Counting Carbon programme. Among the key provisions of the Paris climate deal, signed by 195 countries in December 2015, is the requirement that every country, rich or poor, has to submit an inventory of its greenhouse-gas emissions every two years. Under UN rules, most countries produce "bottom-up" records, based on how many car journeys are made or how much energy is used for heating homes and offices. But air-sampling programmes that record actual levels of gases, such as those run by the UK and Switzerland, sometimes reveal errors and omissions. In 2011, Swiss scientists first published their data on levels of a gas called HFC-23 coming from a location in northern Italy. Between 2008 and 2010, they had recorded samples of the chemical, produced in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries, which is 14,800 times more warming to the atmosphere than CO2. Now the scientists, at the Jungfraujoch Swiss air monitoring station, have told the BBC the gas is still going into the atmosphere. "Our estimate for this location in Italy is about 60-80 tonnes of this substance being emitted every year, then we can compare this with the Italian emission inventory, and that is quite interesting because the official inventory says below 10 tonnes or in the region of two to three tonnes," said Dr Stefan Reimann, from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. "They actually say it is happening, but they don't think it is happening as much as we see. "Just to put it into perspective, this greenhouse gas is thousands of times stronger than CO2. "So, that would be like an Italian town of 80,000 inhabitants not emitting any CO2." The Italian environment agency told the BBC its inventory was correct and complied with UN regulations and it did not accept the Swiss figures. Another rare warming gas, carbon tetrachloride, once popular as a refrigerant and a solvent but very damaging to the ozone layer, has been banned in Europe since 2002. But Dr Reimann told Counting Carbon: "We still see 10,000-20,000 tonnes coming out of China every year." "That is something that shouldn't be there. "There is actually no Chinese inventory for these gases, as they are banned and industry shouldn't be releasing them anymore." China's approach to reporting its overall output of warming gases to the UN is also subject to constant and significant revisions. Its last submission ran to about 30 pages - the UK's, by contrast, runs to several hundred. Back in 2007, China simply refused to accept, in official documents, that it had become the largest emitter of CO2. "I was working in China in 2007," said Dr Angel Hsu, from Yale University. "I would include a citation and statistics that made this claim of China's position as the number one emitter - these were just stricken out, and I was told the Chinese government doesn't yet recognise this particular statistic so we are not going to include it." A report in 2015 suggested one error in China's statistics amounted to 10% of global emissions in 2013. The BBC investigation also discovered vast uncertainties in carbon emissions inventories, particularly in developing countries. Methane, the second most abundant greenhouse gas after CO2, is produced by microbe activity in marshlands, in rice cultivation, from landfill, from agriculture and in the production of fossil fuels. Global levels have been rising in recent years, and scientists are unsure why. For a country such as India, home to 15% of the world's livestock, methane is a very important gas in their inventory - but the amount produced is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. "What they note is that methane emissions are about 50% uncertain for categories like ruminants, so what this means is that the emissions they submit could be plus or minus 50% of what's been submitted," said Dr Anita Ganesan, from the University of Bristol, who has overseen air monitoring research in the country. "For nitrous oxide, that's 100%." There are similar uncertainties with methane emissions in Russia, of between 30-40%, according to scientists who work there. "What we're worried about is what the planet experiences, never mind what the statistics are," said Prof Euan Nisbet, from Royal Holloway, University of London. "In the air, we see methane going up. The warming impact from that methane is enough to derail Paris." The rules covering how countries report their emissions are currently being negotiated. But Prof Glen Peters, from the Centre for International Climate Research, in Oslo, said: "The core part of Paris [is] the global stock-takes which are going to happen every five years, and after the stock-takes countries are meant to raise their ambition, but if you can't track progress sufficiently, which is the whole point of these stock-takes, you basically can't do anything. "So, without good data as a basis, Paris essentially collapses. It just becomes a talkfest without much progress." Follow Matt on Twitter and on Facebook.

Potent, climate warming gases are being emitted into the atmosphere but are not being recorded in official inventories, a BBC investigation has found.

The Mitsubishi L200 he was driving came off the westbound carriageway near Livingston at about 01:15 on Saturday. The man was seriously injured and died a short time later. The road was closed for five hours to allow for recovery and investigation work. Police officers have appealed for witnesses to the crash - or anyone with information about it - to contact them. Sgt Andy Gibb said: "Sadly, a 34-year-old man has died as a result of a road traffic collision on the M8 during the early hours of Saturday, May 14. "Our thoughts are with his family at this extremely difficult time and we will continue to provide them with support as and when they need it. "Our inquiries into the full circumstances surrounding this collision are ongoing and I ask anyone who was travelling on the M8 at around 1:15am on Saturday, May 14th, to contact us immediately if not already done so." Russian state TV channels have broadcast footage of men confessing to a plot to carry out terror attacks on the peninsula that was annexed by Russia in 2014. The suspected saboteurs tell interrogators they were acting on orders from Kiev. Ukraine denies any involvement and calls it a provocation. Local residents near the scene do report hearing shots fired last Saturday night, when the FSB security service says it intercepted the first group of men. But the FSB statement describes a second attempted incursion of Crimea accompanied by "massive fire from the neighbouring state and armoured vehicles of the Ukrainian armed forces". No video footage or independent confirmation of that incident has yet emerged. What actually took place therefore remains a mystery. But it is what happens next that matters most, as the incident raises tensions between Moscow and Kiev to dangerous heights. Q&A: What's going on in Crimea? So is Moscow planning to retaliate militarily against what it is describing as an act of terror masterminded by Kiev? Vladimir Putin has already pledged that he will "not let such things pass". In that context, the subsequent deployment of S400 air defence missiles to Crimea could well seem menacing. Russia's Defence Ministry has also announced military exercises on the peninsula next week. It all underlines Russia's intent to defend the territory it annexed from Ukraine two years ago in a move condemned as illegal by Kiev and the West. Some see signs that a Russian military offensive is building. They argue that the timing is ideal, with the US busy with elections, the EU distracted by Brexit and the Olympic Games as an all-round diversion. Here in Moscow though, many are sceptical. "Nothing is impossible. However I do not think that corresponds to recent tactical moves we've seen by Moscow," counters Andrei Kortunov of the Russian International Affairs Council. He describes a "micro-detente" in relations with the West and sees signs that Moscow wants to get Western sanctions over Crimea lifted, not reinforced. The stubbornly low price of oil adds to pressure for that. Nato's Russia problem "I would be surprised if this is a smokescreen for war as I do not see what Putin has to gain now," Mr Kortunov concludes. Moreover, he sees a "trend to flexibility" on sanctions from the West. "It's not a good time for a real war, now the economy has dipped. So these are only words, albeit tough ones," argues Andrei Kolesnikov of the Carnegie Moscow Center. He believes the latest crisis will pass in a matter of weeks. "But we do know that frozen conflicts can become hot at any time," he cautions. So is Russia's tough response, or even the entire incident, for domestic consumption? The language Vladimir Putin has chosen is certainly striking. He has accused the authorities in Kiev of supporting terrorism and returned to his old practice of referring to them as having "seized power". After making up with Turkey last week, Moscow could well be looking for a new external enemy for Russians to rally round, reinvigorating a sense of "us-against-them". There is logic to that, given concern that an economic downturn could shrink support for pro-Putin parties at next month's parliamentary elections. Just last May, Russia's prime minister was filmed being harangued by women in Crimea complaining about their pitiful pensions. In an awkward moment, he admitted there was no money. "Putin needs to consolidate society," Andrei Kolesnikov says. "So a small war, a war of words, is important for this. "Whenever there's conflict, Putin's rating grows - whether it's trade wars with the West, the sports doping scandal or a real conflict like in Syria." Staging something so risky - or reacting so forcibly to whatever happened - seems extreme for the sake of a few votes. So is Russia's reaction aimed at the Ukraine peace process? Vladimir Putin made it very clear that peace talks on Ukraine are now "pointless". They had been proposed by Kiev on the sidelines of the G20 summit next month. But it seems more likely that Moscow is trying to shape the process, than walk away for good. "The Minsk process is at an impasse, neither side can implement it," says Andrei Kolesnikov, referring to the ceasefire deal signed in Belarus' capital. "But Putin won't exclude himself from Minsk, he's just trying to make the situation more tense." Russia's president was explicit, calling on the West to pressure Kiev to deliver results. Implicit within that was a threat: that Moscow will not play along with the talks forever. Kiev blames Moscow for the impasse, pointing to ongoing clashes with pro-Russian rebels in the east; Moscow argues that Kiev is stalling on the big political reforms it needs to implement. "Russia wants the regions (controlled by pro-Russian militants) re-integrated as a blocking share in the Ukrainian political system," Andrei Kortunov says. "The aim is to guarantee that Ukraine does not join Nato or move too far from Russia." Of course that is what the Ukraine crisis has been about from the very beginning. This is just the latest tense and unpredictable chapter. Both carriageways of the motorway were closed in both directions at around 09:00 GMT after freezing temperatures were recorded overnight. Police also closed the Avonmouth bridge near Bristol. The motorway reopened at about 11:30 after gritters were sent out to de-ice the road surface. Congestion is still being reported on some routes. Highways England said there had been three crashes. Check if this is affecting your journey The police closed the northbound carriageway between junction 21, near Weston-super-Mare and Junction 18, near Bristol. They also closed the southbound section between junctions 18 and 19 while vehicles were recovered. Police said there had been one or two "minor prangs" on the Avonmouth bridge which led to its closure, but that the road was gritted overnight. Queues of traffic stretched for miles in both directions as diversions were put into place. BBC weather presenter Emily Wood said temperatures had reached freezing or just below in the Bristol area overnight as forecast. She said: "At present it is still freezing but temperatures should reach around 5 degrees this afternoon before dipping below freezing again overnight." Residents in Filigree Close, South Normanton, were asked to leave after the fire was spotted near a property's gas intake just before midnight. Once the flames were put out gas engineers made the area safe and householders returned at 03:30 BST. There are no reports of injuries and the cause of the fire is being investigated. Ms Brown, who founded the site in 2008 with Barry Diller, said she would focus on a conference business, in particular her annual Women in the World summit. She will leave the site when her contract expires at the end of this year. Her tenure at The Daily Beast was marked by the website's unsuccessful merger with Newsweek in 2010. Ms Brown and her team struggled to turn around the storied print magazine, and advertising revenue continued to plunge as circulation lagged. She defended her attempt to revive Newsweek, saying she was proud of "the battle we waged to save it from the overwhelming forces of media change". Newsweek was sold to IBT Media in August after ceasing publication of its print edition. Ms Brown's new venture, Tina Brown Live Media, will continue her successful yearly conference, Women in the World, launched in 2010. Luminaries such as Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton have attended in the past. "I was surprised - she is such an icon to the print medium," Horizon Media's Brad Adgate told the BBC. "This just goes to show that the internet is a different animal certainly than magazines." Ms Brown co-founded The Daily Beast in October 2008 with Mr Diller after a successful track record running print magazines in the US and the UK. At age 25 she was editor-in-chief of UK society magazine Tatler. She then went on to be the first female editor of The New Yorker magazine, and edit Vanity Fair and the short-lived Talk magazine. Named after the fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel Scoop, The Daily Beast aimed to prove that online news could be made profitable. The site was backed by Mr Diller's IAC/InterActivCorp, which also owns properties such as the dating websites Match.com and OkCupid and other websites such Ask.com and Dictionary.com. Although the Daily Beast has reported strong web traffic numbers - with an audience of between six million and 16 million monthly visitors - it has had difficulty generating meaningful ad revenue. The November 2010 merger with Newsweek - which had been purchased by audio magnate Sidney Harman for $1 from the Washington Post Company - added more pressure. After struggling to contain losses and generate buzz, Ms Brown announced that the venerable magazine would cease print publication on 31 December 2012. Mr Diller later called the Newsweek acquisition "a mistake". IAC will continue to operate The Daily Beast, according to an article posted on the site. It will be run by executive editor John Avlon and managing editor Deidre Depke. The incident, involving a motorcyclist and four vehicles, happened between the A4076 at Scotchwell roundabout and the A4075/B4314 at Canaston Bridge roundabout. The road was closed for about three hours following the incident. Traffic in the area is reported to have returned to normal levels following earlier queues. According to research from Deloitte, items from the designer and other luxury goods now cost less in Britain in dollar terms than anywhere else. It linked the trend to the fall in sterling since the Brexit vote, which has boosted tourists' spending power. The pound has fallen more than 17% against the dollar since June. According to the research, which was prepared for the Wall Street Journal, a Speedy 30 handbag from Louis Vuitton cost £645 in London as of 7 October, or $802. That compared to €760 ($850) in Paris and $970 in New York. In China the bag cost 7,450 yuan, or $1,115. Nick Pope, fashion and luxury lead at Deloitte, told the BBC a "period of affordability" after the EU referendum vote was proving a "demand pull" for tourists, who account for more than half of the UK's luxury goods market "The trend in luxury pricing in the UK is being driven mainly by the depression on the sterling - thus making the same item more affordable in the UK market than in any other major luxury market," he said. "People don't like paying more for the same product." That chimes with official statistics that show overseas residents made 3.8 million visits to the UK in July - up 2% on the same month last year. In total, they spent some £2.5bn. Myf Ryan, chief marketing officer at shopping mall operator Westfield, told the BBC: "The number of tourist shoppers at Westfield centres in July increased year on year with average international spend up nearly 70%." "What we have seen is Chinese tourists bulk-buying designer items," she added. In August, Chinese spending at Westfield's malls was up 53% compared with August 2015, she said. The fall in sterling has pushed up the price of some everyday goods, but Deloitte said luxury retailers had kept prices stable for fear of scaring off consumers. It said 64% of comparable luxury products were now cheaper in the UK than anywhere else. Other examples include Balenciaga's Foulard Fringe Dress, which currently costs about $400 less in the UK than in the US. A Brunello Cucinelli cashmere v-neck for men, meanwhile, costs £650, or $843, in Britain compared to $942 in France and $995 in the US. Mr Pope warned the discounts would not necessarily last, however, adding that a small number of brands had already put prices up. "Luxury brands are usually - and rightly - cautious about en masse pricing adjustments," he said. "But if over six to 12 months this sterling position becomes the 'new normal' - and hence margins are under continued pressure - I would expect more brands to respond with pricing adjustments." The US military said it detected a missile which appeared to explode within seconds of being launched. North Korea is banned from any missile or nuclear tests by the United Nations. However, it has conducted such tests with increasing frequency and experts say this could lead to advances in its missile technology. Earlier this month, the North fired four missiles that flew about 1,000km (620 miles), landing in Japanese waters. This test came from the eastern coastal town of Wonsan and will be seen as a response to annual military drills under way between the US and South Korea, which the North sees as preparation for an attack on it. North Korea is believed to be developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the US, and has previously claimed it had successfully miniaturised nuclear warheads so they can fit on missiles. However, most experts believe the North is still some time away from being able to realise such a goal. Today's failure indicates that North Korea's space programme still has some way to go before its blood-curdling threats to turn Seoul and Washington into seas of flame are achievable. Some experts also believe that the salvo of four missiles fired towards Japan two weeks ago may actually have been five, with one launch failing. In addition to its missile failures, North Korea is not thought to have developed heat-resistant material necessary to launch a truly long-range intercontinental ballistic missile. But progress does seem to be being made. Last weekend, North Korea conducted a rocket engine test that its leader Kim Jong-un claimed was a breakthrough in its rocket technology. This has not been confirmed by independent experts. It came as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson visited Japan, South Korea and China for talks on North Korea's recent actions, including its two most recent nuclear tests. Mr Tillerson had said a military option was on the table if the North threatened the South or US forces. Senegal is leading the operation, which is supported by Nigeria and other states in the region. Mr Jammeh has been told to leave office by the end of Wednesday and hand over to last month's election winner, Adama Barrow, who is currently in Senegal. Mr Jammeh has ruled The Gambia since taking power in a coup in 1994. Wednesday was meant to be his last day in office but parliament granted him three more months in the post. Garba Shehu, official spokesman for Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, said Mr Barrow was preparing to be sworn in as president "on Gambian soil" on Thursday. At least 26,000 Gambians, fearful that violence could erupt, sought refuge in Senegal this week. Meanwhile, thousands of UK and Dutch tourists are being evacuated from the tiny West African state, which is popular with European holidaymakers because of its beaches. Ecowas, the Economic Community of West African States, mandated Senegal because it almost surrounds The Gambia. Col Abdou Ndiaye, a spokesman for the Senegalese military, said Ecowas had decided on the deadline to try to achieve a diplomatic solution. "Things are getting into place and Ecowas forces are ready to intervene if needed after midnight if we can't find a diplomatic solution to the Gambian crisis," he said. The Ecowas force is seeking UN Security Council endorsement to use "all necessary measures" to help remove Mr Jammeh. The Gambia's entire armed forces are made up of only about 2,500 troops, making it difficult to see how they can defeat a regional force if it moves in, says BBC Africa Monitoring security correspondent Tomi Oladipo. Nigeria says it sent fighters and other aircraft, along with 200 personnel, to Senegal on Wednesday morning. Nigerian navy vessels are also on standby and a warship that sailed from Lagos on Tuesday will have the task of evacuating Nigerian citizens while putting on a show of force. Ground troops are also being provided by Ghana. Most of the civilians crossing into Senegal are women and children, the UN refugee agency said, citing Senegalese government figures. In the Gambian capital, Banjul, a restaurant worker who gave only his first name, Musa, told Reuters news agency: "People are afraid, we don't know what's going to happen. "We hope he [Mr Jammeh] will leave so this will be over quickly and things can get back to normal." Travel firm Thomas Cook said it would fly back to the UK, over the next 48 hours, 985 customers from package holidays after the UK Foreign Office advised "against all but essential travel to The Gambia due to ongoing political uncertainty and potential military intervention following the presidential elections". About 1,600 Dutch citizens are also being flown home after similar advice from their government. Tourism has become the fastest-growing sector of The Gambia's economy, and the country, which has a population of about two million, was marketed to holidaymakers as "the smiling coast of West Africa". But many of its citizens are poor and complain of political repression. Some, including the goalkeeper of the national women's football team, have drowned in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe in the hope of a better life. Mr Jammeh has declared a 90-day state of emergency, telling security forces to "maintain absolute peace, law and order". He says there were irregularities in the election process, including the turning away of some of his supporters from polling stations, and errors made by the electoral commission. The commission accepted that some of the results it initially published contained errors but said Mr Barrow had still won. Mr Jammeh has said he will stay in office until new elections are held. Retaining power would also ensure he was not prosecuted in The Gambia for alleged abuses committed during his rule. The US state department urged Mr Jammeh to peacefully transfer power to Mr Barrow on Thursday. "Doing so would allow him to leave office with his head held high and to protect The Gambian people from potential chaos," spokesman John Kirby said. Prosecutors accuse the company of making its employees work long, tiring shifts without sufficient breaks. The prosecutors' office in the city of Manaus said one worker reported packing nearly 3,000 phones a day. Samsung said it would take action "as soon as they are officially notified". In a statement, the company said it would analyse the process and fully co-operate with the Brazilian authorities. "We are committed to offering our collaborators around the world a work environment that ensures the highest standards when it comes to safety, health and well-being," the statement said. The plant, located at the Manaus Free Trade zone, employs some 6,000 people. A worker at the Amazonas state factory has only 32 seconds to fully assemble a mobile phone and 65 seconds to put together a television set, prosecutors allege. In evidence given to prosecutors, employees say shifts can last 15 hours and some say they suffer from back ache and cramps as they are forced to stand for up to 10 hours a day. The prosecutors' office is claiming more than 250m reais ($108m; £70m) in damages from the company for serious violations of labour legislation. The legal suit was filed on Friday, but has only now been made public. Fortify Rights said that the government's orders, shown in leaked documents, amounted to "state policies of persecution" in Rakhine state. There was no immediate response to the report from the Burmese authorities. The government of Myanmar, also known as Burma, views the Rohingya as foreign migrants, not citizens. There is widespread public hostility towards the Rohingya in Buddhist-majority Myanmar. The Rohingya, on the other hand, feel they are part of Myanmar and claim persecution by the state. The UN has described the Rohingya as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. In a report, Fortify Rights said it had analysed 12 government documents from 1993 to 2013, and found that government policies imposed "extensive restrictions on the basic freedoms of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state". The policies restricted Rohingya's "movement, marriage, childbirth, home repairs and construction of houses of worship", it said. Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state were also prohibited from travelling between townships, or out of Rakhine, without permission, the report said. The report said a government order stipulated that married Rohingya couples in parts of Rakhine state could not have more than two children, while another document said Rohingya had to apply for permission to marry, in what the report described as a "humiliating and financially prohibitive" process. One document published in the report said officials should force a woman to breastfeed her child if there were doubts over whether she was the birth mother. The restrictions have been known about for some time, but what is new is that campaigners say they have the official orders issued by the Buddhist-dominated local government in Rakhine state, the BBC's Jonah Fisher in Rangoon reports. It is an oft-stated fear of Myanmar's Buddhists that the larger families of Muslims mean they will one day be in the majority, our correspondent adds. Tensions remain high between Buddhist and Muslim communities with the latest violence - an attack on Rohingya villagers in January - thought to have killed scores of people. In 2012 widespread rioting and brutal clashes between Rakhine Buddhists and Muslims, largely thought to be Rohingya Muslims, left almost 200 dead and displaced thousands. It found that the numbers available for work had been falling while employers took on more staff. The Bank of Scotland survey for September saw weaker growth than in the previous three months. The number of vacancies grew, but at the slowest pace for 11 months. The labour market barometer remains high by longer-term comparison and remained stronger in September than the equivalent UK index. Survey responses from more than 100 recruitment consultants in Scottish cities showed that Aberdeen had the fastest rise in placement of work applicants. Edinburgh saw growth, but at the slowest rate of the cities. Glasgow had the highest growth in pay for permanent new recruits, and Dundee had the fastest rise in pay for those on temporary contracts. The sectors showing strongest demand for recruits were in health and care work, computing, engineering and construction. The survey data follows a particularly strong set of employment figures last week from the Office for National Statistics, taking the share of the Scottish workforce seeking jobs during summer down to 5.5%. Donald MacRae, chief economist at the Bank of Scotland, said: "Starting salary pay rose strongly, reflecting the growing lack of available candidates for vacant positions. "The barometer is showing almost four years of monthly improvement, resulting in the rate of unemployment in September of 5.5%. The Scottish economic recovery continues." In other economic news from the British Retail Consortium, footfall for Scottish retail grew last month by 2% - while it fell across most other parts of the UK. Averaged across July to September, Scotland and south-east England were the only parts of the UK to see growth, with Scotland up 2.6%. Within the 0.9% UK drop in September footfall, compared with the same month last year, shopping centres saw a 2.6% drop, the steepest fall since October last year. Passing trade on high streets was down by 0.6%, while out-of-town shopping was up by 0.5%. Fashion sales were hardest hit. Helen Dickinson, of the British Retail Consortium, said: "To look at the figures initially they seem slightly gloomier than they actually are. "Despite a dip for the month of 0.9%, largely due to less visits to indoor shopping centres, footfall was up on the 1.1% fall for August which shows that it is going in the right direction. "As online sales increase, overall we can see how shopping is changing and retailers are adapting. "The industry is working hard on providing great online shopping experiences for consumers and this too impacts footfall." Peter Hartley's stoppage-time winner at Home Park ended Pompey's hopes of promotion to League One. Cook, who joined Portsmouth from Chesterfield last summer, is adamant he will be in charge next term. "My job now is to manage the club again and lead the club by example," Cook told BBC Radio Solent. "I will lift myself and I certainly will not be leading by example by walking around sulking. "I don't think managing Portsmouth in any league is easy. I personally hope I am here for a long, long time. I am very lucky to manage this club." Pompey, who were top of the table in October, eventually finished sixth in League Two after failing to win in their final three games. But Cook, 49, believes the south coast side must come back stronger and learn from their play-off disappointment. "We are very much a work in progress," he added. "The only positive I take out of it is the club and state the club is in - the whole infrastructure from the training ground to the support I get everyday. It's so disappointing to fall short." Triumphs for Sir Chris Hoy and Laura Trott at the London Velodrome, coupled with success for the dressage team and Alistair Brownlee in the triathlon, took Team GB's tally to 22 golds at London 2012 - ahead of the return of 19 in 2008 with five days of competition still to come. It is now Britain's best medal haul since the 1908 Games, which were also held in London, when the team secured 56 gold medals, although that was far from a modern Olympics, with events such as the tug of war and motor boating contested. Great Britain have also bettered their overall Beijing medal haul of 47 following high jumper Robbie Grabarz's bronze - Team GB's 48th of the Games. They also look certain to add to that tally in the coming days - UK Athletics had set a target of a minimum 48 medals at London 2012. Here, BBC Sport looks back at Britain's best and worst performances at previous Games. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

He had entered into a contract with the landowner to split the proceeds of any find down the middle but failed to tell the farmer of his discovery. Judge Rupert Overbury, sentencing, said Cockle's motivation had been "pure greed". Cockle, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, had admitted theft at a previous hearing. Three counts of converting criminal property will lie on file. Cockle, who had lived in Wareham at the time, also failed to tell the coroner. Instead he had sold the coins for £1,500 each in smaller parcels of two, three and five coins. Another metal detectorist had discovered 35 Merovingian coins at the same site and declared them honestly. Had Cockle done the same, the discovery would have been the largest find of Merovingian coins in the UK - surpassing the discovery of 37 such coins at Sutton Hoo in the last century, the court heard. Judge Overbury said Cockle had more than 30 years of experience as a metal detectorist and knew the legal process. He added the coins were "extremely rare" and that some of them had never been recovered. Cockle was also banned from metal detecting for five years, banned from owning metal detecting equipment and from entering into agreements with landowners to do metal detecting. He faces five years in jail if he breaches the order. Cockle was dismissed from Norfolk Police last month for gross misconduct.

Burns was later sent-off for two yellow cards while Cliftonville substitute George McMullan got a red for comments made from the touchline. Crusaders remain seven points ahead of second-placed Linfield. Overall, referee Ross Dunlop issued two red cards and 11 yellow in what was a highly-competitive north Belfast derby. Cliftonville, League Cup winners last weekend, now find themselves 12 adrift of the leaders. They had a Johnny Flynn header ruled out for offside and also felt they should have been awarded a penalty for hand ball against Jordan Owens. However, the points went to Crusaders and the way their players celebrated on the pitch after the final whistle, illustrated just how import the victory was as they go for back-to-back titles. Cliftonville, champions in 2013 and 2014, really needed a victory to throw the title race wide open. But now, many will view the battle for the Premiership crown as a two-horse race between the holders and David Healy's Linfield. Crusaders scorer Paul Heatley: "In my opinion Cliftonville are out of it now, and I think most people will see it that way. "We have been beaten just two times this season and it shows how consistent we have been. "It is why we are 12 points ahead of Cliftonville of seven of Linfield with a game in hand." Cliftonville manager Gerard Lyttle: "The big decisions didn't go our way today and we seemed to get all the bookings. "It is not the first time we have come down here and the decisions have gone against us. "Declan Caddell made about nine fouls before he actually got booked while we make one foul and get booked for it." The council-run "Grow Your Own" scheme initially let education department staff with degrees do a post-graduate teaching diploma. Thirty people applied for nine training places in 2015. This year the figure has fallen to 18 applications from council staff despite 30 places being available. The scheme was introduced to help tackle problems in recruiting and keeping teachers in the region. It was first opened to education department staff but extended to employees across the council this year. However, it has not generated the same level of response with the number of applications falling by 40%. Witness Loren Lent told the BBC that a group of bystanders had formed a circle and caught the girl as she fell. Mr Lent said the teenager would have been killed or seriously injured but for their quick thinking. He said it was not clear why the girl was so eager to escape the chair lift. "I have no idea," he said. "She may have panicked, she may have had a seizure or she may have been terrified by bees that were known to have been in the area. "All I can say though is that the actions of these people prevented what could have been a very nasty accident." One of the catchers is reported by local media to have hurt his back during the operation on Saturday, in which rescuers had to persuade the 14-year-old to let go of the chair lift and drop into their arms. Both sides hit the woodwork before the break, the Latics from a corner that bounced to safety off the far post and Albion through Tom Flanagan's header. But chances were at a premium with just one shot on target throughout. The Brewers, who are four points clear, would have restored a six-point lead over second-placed Wigan with a win. But they remain seven points ahead of third-placed Walsall. Mark Duffy did force Oldham keeper Joel Coleman to palm away a 20-yard free-kick in the second half. But the visitors, who still have two games in hand on fifth from bottom Blackpool, were good value for a point. Burton boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby: Media playback is not supported on this device "We probably had the best training session yesterday morning that we've had since we arrived, and that worried us because if you're that good on the Friday you're usually not that good on the Saturday. "It just happens sometimes. You've seen the honesty of the players all season and they're as disappointed as anything. "But, as I say, it just happens as a footballer sometimes." Oldham manager John Sheridan told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I think we definitely deserved something out of the game. We looked good. "We knew the importance of trying to get something from the game so I'm pleased we've come out with something. "I think a lot of people probably expected us to get beaten but I think we've shown we're a half-decent side." The musician first worked with the 90-strong Syrian National Orchestra for Arabic Music (SNOAM) eight years ago. Albarn said: "It's a truly miraculous sound that they create." Their performance is part of 14-18 now, the UK's arts programme marking the centenary of World War One. The orchestra first played with Albarn at the Damascus Opera House in 2008. Albarn worked with them, and principal conductor Issam Rafea, on Gorillaz album White Flag and they toured together in 2010, with shows taking place in Lebanon, Syria and across Europe and North America. The Royal Festival Hall show on 25 June, presented by Africa Express and featuring other guest performers, will be SNOAM's first concert since Syria descended into war. Albarn said he found Syria to be an "extraordinary and beautiful country" when he first travelled there to work with Rafea. "And then Syria changed, almost overnight" he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "Ever since then, I've watched from a distance and felt utterly helpless, wondering about all of the lovely people I've got to know." Rafea, now based in the US, said the situation in Syria was "beyond our imagination", leading to musicians fleeing the country. He hopes the music will act as a "universal language" and that he looks forward to "the opportunity to come all together again". Albarn said of the orchestra: "There's a whole choir, there's strings, there's soloists, there's amazing percussion - it's a really, really dynamic and joyous sound, and it's stayed with me all these years. "I'm really excited to be able to somehow share that with people. "And the whole point of this is to get the orchestra back together, to get them working again - just giving some kind of alternative to the prism of the news, which is entirely a negative thing." International artists have been asked to create new works as part of 14-18 Now's 2016 programme. Other highlights of the season include: This year's programme is focusing on the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. It follows a newspaper investigation that saw Sam Allardyce lose the England manager's job, with agents' roles in transfers also brought into question. Italian De Laurentiis, 67, who is also a movie producer, said agents "became like a tax" and wanted paying up front. "In Hollywood, the actor pays [the agent] himself. I don't pay the agent. In soccer, why must I pay?" he said. De Laurentiis said some transfer deals had fallen through because of disagreements with agents over players' image rights. "You know, that's a cancer of our domain," he added. "Not every agent. But I don't understand why you need an agent." However, Mel Stein, outgoing chairman of the Association of Football Agents, believes the same could be said of some club owners and chairmen. "The fact of the matter is that there are some bad people, but you can't call them a cancer," he said. "We want to clear it up, and we think we know how." "The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds," said Larry Finlay of his publishers Transworld. The author died at home, surrounded by his family, "with his cat sleeping on his bed", he added. Sir Terry wrote more than 70 books during his career and completed his final book last summer. He "enriched the planet like few before him" and through Discworld satirised the world "with great skill, enormous humour and constant invention," said Mr Finlay. "Terry faced his Alzheimer's disease (an 'embuggerance', as he called it) publicly and bravely," said Mr Finlay. "Over the last few years, it was his writing that sustained him. His legacy will endure for decades to come." Sir Terry leaves wife Lyn and daughter Rhianna. The announcement of his death was made on Sir Terry's Twitter account on Thursday afternoon, with Rhianna later writing: "Many thanks for all the kind words about my dad. Those last few tweets were sent with shaking hands and tear-filled eyes." Despite campaigning for assisted suicide after his diagnosis, Sir Terry's publishers said he did not take his own life. BBC News correspondent Nick Higham said: "I was told by the publishers his death was entirely natural and unassisted, even though he had said in the past he wanted to go at a time of his own choosing." 70 books Translated into 37 languages In a career spanning 44 years With total sales of 70 million Fellow author and friend Neil Gaiman was among those paying tribute to Sir Terry, writing on his website: "There was nobody like him. I was fortunate to have written a book with him, when we were younger, which taught me so much." Gaiman added: "I will miss you, Terry, so much." Actor Sir Tony Robinson described his friend as a "bit of a contradiction", saying: "He was incredibly flamboyant with his black hat and urban cowboy clothes. "But he was also very shy, and happiest with his family "Everybody who reads his work would agree Death was one of his finest creations - Terry in some way has now shaken hands with one of his greatest-ever creations." Prime Minster David Cameron said: "Sad to hear of Sir Terry Pratchett's death, his books fired the imagination of millions and he fearlessly campaigned for dementia awareness." The Discworld series - which started in 1983 - was based in a flat world perched on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the back of a giant turtle. By 2013, he had written more than 40 instalments. At the peak of his writing powers, Sir Terry - known for his striking dress sense and large black fedora - was publishing more than three books a year. His quirky and satirical view of the world won him a worldwide following. At the turn of the century, he was Britain's second most-read author, beaten only by JK Rowling. In August 2007, it was reported Sir Terry had suffered a stroke, but the following December he announced that he had been diagnosed with a very rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease which, he said, "lay behind this year's phantom stroke". Knighted in 2009, he said: "It would appear to me that me getting up and saying 'I've got Alzheimer's', it did shake people." "The thing about Alzheimer's is there are few families that haven't been touched by the disease. "People come up to me and talk about it and burst into tears; there's far more awareness about it and that was really what I hoped was going to happen." His death was announced on his Twitter account with a tweet composed in capital letters - which was how the author portrayed the character of Death in his novels - read: "AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER." A fundraising site set up in Sir Terry's memory to raise money for a charity that cares for those with Alzheimer's has already raised thousands of pounds. Pilot Andre Borschberg brought the vehicle gently down onto the runway at Kalaeloa Airport just before 6am local time (5pm British time). The distance covered and the time spent in the air - 118 hours - are records for a manned, solar-powered flight. Meeting the Swiss pilot in Kalaeloa is his partner on the Solar Impulse project, Bertrand Piccard. The pair are sharing flying duties in their quest to fly around the globe - an effort they began in Abu Dhabi, UAE, back in March. Mr Piccard will now fly the next leg from Hawaii to Phoenix, USA, which will not be quite as far as the leg just completed, but it will still likely take four days and nights. The girls, aged 14 to 17, were caught in the blaze at the government-run Virgen de Asuncion shelter last week. Human rights prosecutor Hilda Morales told the BBC that psychologists were being brought from Costa Rica to help the victims' families and survivors. Before the tragedy, Ms Morales had recommended the shelter, near Guatemala City, be shut down. "The tragedy could have been avoided if the authorities had complied with our recommendations from years ago," said Ms Morales of the home in San Jose Pinula. She said she was determined to bring those responsible to justice and a criminal complaint had been filed. The tragedy has put a spotlight on alleged failings in Guatemala's child protection services. The head of the agency has been ordered not to leave the country while investigations continue. Some Guatemalans are also calling for President Jimmy Morales to resign over the alleged state failings. Thousands protested against him in Guatemala City on Saturday. There had also been allegations of abuse at the overcrowded centre. Ms Morales, who is not related to the president, said her office had presented concerns about human rights violations in the home in 2013, and then recommended "concrete steps" to protect the residents. This was reiterated in November last year when a court order was filed, calling for precautionary measures to be taken. The Secretariat of Social Welfare (SBS), which ran the school, rejected the accusations and appealed. The fire is believed to have started after a mattress caught fire, following a riot. Guatemalan media report that the riot erupted as a result of alleged sexual abuse by staff and frustration with the poor conditions. Nineteen girls died at the scene, and dozens were taken to hospital with second- and third-degree burns, according to hospital officials. Four of the surviving burn victims were flown to the US Shriners Hospital for Children in Texas on Saturday for further treatment. As the home did not have adequate records of the residents, identifying and accounting for the dead and the injured has been hugely problematic, according to local media. Those who fled were also hard to trace. Reports say the capacity of the home is 400, but that many more children were living there at the time. The shelter takes in children up to the age of 18 who have suffered abuse or have been abandoned. But local media say the shelter was also functioning as a juvenile detention centre, to which judges were sending adolescents involved in criminal cases. True, the odd big beast like Ken Clarke is still roaming around the parliamentary reservation savaging the occasional Eurosceptic straggler he might come across. In characteristically robust fashion he took to the airwaves earlier to lambast some of his colleagues who "should obviously be in UKIP" and were pandering to "a wave of hysteria" over immigration. Ouch. But by and large the pro-Europeans seem an unduly meek and cautious bunch, almost mole-like in their reluctance to come blinking into the daylight. A far cry from their raucous, self-confident Eurosceptic colleagues, many of whom only have to see a camera to be rushing in front of it. Which is not to say the pro-European Tories have gone away. Far from it. Most are biding their time. And many of them are as mad as hell at what they see as their party's remorseless drift towards UKIP. One former pro-European minister noting the relentless pressure on the PM from Eurosceptic Tories observed, only half in jest: "The only thing that would satisfy them is bombing Berlin." But they have a much more serious concerns than simply trading abuse with the sceptics. Their fear is that the Conservative Party is being steadily dragged away from the centre ground, the ground on which they argue elections are always won and which David Cameron occupied at the last election. They also point to the experience of the recent Newark by-election where the Tories - temporarily - halted Nigel Farage's bandwagon by appealing to disaffected Liberal Democrat and Labour voters rather than chasing the UKIP vote. As one exasperated pro-European minister noted: "Why on earth should anyone bother voting for a pretend UKIP party when they could vote for the real thing?" The prime minister, they insist, has a good story to tell on the economy, so why is he allowing himself to get sucked into a row about Europe? After all wasn't he the leader who said the party had to stop "banging on about Europe"? Which begs the question: Why don't the pro-Europeans go public with their concerns? Why don't they take on the sceptics? Here the pro-Europeans tend to shuffle, look at the ground and become more muted. Their concern is this. Any public fightback, they fear, would tear the party in two. And divided parties, they argue, do not win elections. Instead their hopes appear to centre on the Mr Cameron's instincts. They believe, at the end of the day, he accepts that Britain's national self interest is in remaining in the EU. The Rochester by-election, they say, is a one-off. Mr Cameron has no option but to throw the Eurosceptic kitchen sink at it in order to win. But afterwards they hope there will be an end to the appeasing of the sceptics. And if there isn't? Well, perhaps some of them will have to start taking some lessons from an old bruiser like Ken Clarke. Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne has warned of high demand for spaces on its boats on and around the weekend of HebCelt in Stornoway. The music event is taking place on 19 to 22 July. CalMac said people taking vehicles across should already have booked and urged foot passengers to do the same. The company said Sunday 23 July was expected to be one of the busiest days with revellers trying to leave Lewis. Stornoway Port manager Iain Don MacIver said: "We strongly encourage those planning to journey to and from Stornoway for the weekend of HebCelt, including foot passengers, to book their ferry slots, as soon as possible. "Sunday is a particularly busy day with festival goers making their way home and it will be essential to have a valid booking for vehicles and passengers that day." The Waterboys, Imelda May, Lucy Spraggan, Skerryvore, Peatbog Faeries and Dougie MacLean are among this year's HebCelt acts. The route, which runs from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, was devised in 1973 by fell walker and author Alfred Wainwright. Campaigners say the walk should be included alongside the 15 designated National Trails, which include the Pennine Way and the Cleveland Way. Wainwright Society chairman Eric Robson said the walk was a "wonderful route". The campaign has been backed by Richmond MP Rishi Sunak and BBC presenter Julia Bradbury. Walkers want the path to have the same prominence and national funding as the existing National Trails, which are looked after by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales. Mr Sunak said: "The Coast to Coast runs right through the heart of the Richmond constituency and some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK. "Hundreds of businesses depend on it and official recognition would bring a real boost for the economy of the area. "This is a walk that was rated as the second best walk in the world in a survey of expert opinion carried out by Country Walking magazine a few years ago and yet it has no official status. This is a real anomaly." The former Northern Counties Club on Bishop Street is being converted into a 31-bed hotel. A former bank building on Shipquay Street will be turned into a 20-bed hotel. Both projects have received funding from the Department for Social Development and Department of Environment. Work on the building in Shipquay Street is due to be completed in March while its counterpart on Bishop Street is due to open for business later this summer. It is expected that 65 jobs will be created at the Bishop Street site, which will also have a restaurant, a cookery school and two retail units, and the remaining 12 will be at the Shipquay Street site. Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey said: "The projects are a major boost to the local economy, providing jobs for the local hospitality sector, as well as the construction jobs needed to undertake the work." Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said the projects were important for investment and tourism. "Derry's built heritage is a unique attraction for tourists and investors and a source of pride for locals. It is important that we strive together to realise its full potential." The Canadian, Norwegian and Filipino hostages are being held by Abu Sayyaf, Islamist militant separatists who last week beheaded Canadian John Ridsdel. In the video, the hostages say if the demands are not met "we will be executed like our friend John". Abu Sayyaf has previously demanded a multi-million dollar ransom. The Philippines and Canadian government have said they will not give in to ransom demands. The Philippines has also launched a military operation against the militant group. Who are the Abu Sayyaf group? Canadian PM's outrage over hostage killing Mr Ridsdel was kidnapped from a marina near the city of Davao last September along with another Canadian, Robert Hall, his Filipina partner Marites Flor, and Kjartan Sekkingstad, a Norwegian. They were taken to an Abu Sayyaf stronghold of the remote island of Jolo where Mr Ridsdel was killed on 25 April after a ransom deadline passed. Founded in 1991, the Islamist terrorist and separatist group Abu Sayyaf is believed to have only a few hundred armed followers but it has managed to survive numerous assaults by the Philippine army, aided by US military trainers. Since 2014, when its commanders started swearing allegiance to so-called Islamic State, Abu Sayyaf has intensified its drive to kidnap hostages for multi-million dollar ransoms, mimicking the practices of Islamist terror groups in the Middle East by issuing hostage plea videos with threats of beheading. In the past, one of the most successful, if controversial, hostage mediations was carried out in 2000 by the late Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi, when he bought the freedom of six western hostages for a reported million dollars a head. The large sums of money involved both then and since have led to accusations that Abu Sayyaf are really more interested in money than religion but their link to IS, however tenuous, appears to have only increased their fanaticism. The new video, reported on Tuesday by the SITE Intelligence Group which monitors jihadist media, showed the three hostages with six gunmen standing behind them. A masked militant warns Canada and the Philippines that the three remaining hostages would be killed "if you procrastinate once again". Mr Hall is shown saying the governments were being ordered to "meet the demand" of the kidnappers, without giving further details. He also asked the Philippines government to "stop shooting at us and trying to kill us. These guys are going to do a good job of that." Mr Sekkingstad says that "if the demand is not met we will be executed like our friend John was a few days ago". Ms Flor is seen pleading with several Philippines officials and candidates in the upcoming national election, saying "we want to be freed alive", the AFP news agency reports. Abu Sayyaf is a fragmented but violent militant group with its roots in the Islamist separatist insurgency in the southern Philippines. Several of its factions have aligned themselves with the so-called Islamic State. It has repeatedly taken hostages over the years but has often released them in exchange for ransoms. On Sunday, the group released 10 Indonesian sailors they had been holding for five weeks. It is still holding several captives, including a group of eight Malaysians and Indonesians seized from boats and a Dutch birdwatcher taken in 2012. Love went twice early on before Scott McBride headed Rovers' opener. Andrew Barrowman capitalised on a defensive error to make it two and Love finished off a swift counter-attack for the third.

Tomas Osmena said he would pay policemen $1,060 (£730) for each criminal killed and $106 for each one wounded, in an attempt to instil fear. He has already rewarded an off-duty policeman who shot and injured two suspects when he came across a robbery. The mayor's comments echo those of the incoming President, Rodrigo Duterte, who has promised to wipe out crime. Mr Osmena, who won the mayoral elections two weeks ago, emphasised that any killing must be legal, with a licensed gun. He gave as an example a robbery where civilians might come to the rescue and shoot the robber. "What is important is that the robbers will be scared," he said. "I am just giving them a warning." Police officer Julius Sadaya Regis was off duty when he chanced upon a robbery. As the three robbers fled, Mr Regis shot two of them and duly received his reward from the mayor. Mr Osmena said he did not care if the reward would encourage vigilantes. "I will not compromise the safety of our people," he said. "I will defend them. I don't care who gets in the way." Mr Osmena's pledge comes after Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte won the Philippine presidential elections on 9 May, largely on a controversial anti-crime platform, vowing to kill tens of thousands of criminals. Since winning the election, Mr Duterte has also said he will bring back the death penalty, with hanging as his preferred method of execution. His record as the crime-crushing mayor of the southern town of Davao, once notorious for its lawlessness, earned him the name The Punisher, as well as many voters. On Thursday, Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao was sworn in as a senator, after being elected to the upper house in elections earlier this month. He said he supported President Duterte's plans to impose the death penalty. "Actually God allows this in the Bible," he told reporters. The charity said there were a further six confirmed or probable cases in the town of Isiro. The outbreak, involving the Bundibugyo strain, was first reported last week after one person had died. Last month an outbreak of a more deadly ebola strain in neighbouring Uganda killed 16 people. The DR Congo outbreak occurred in Oriental province, which shares a border with Uganda. Medicins sans Frontieres (MSF) has said that the two outbreaks may not be related. It is not clear when exactly the deaths in Isiro occurred. A medical coordinator for MSF, Anja de Weggheleire, told the BBC the Bundibugyo strain was still dangerous, if less fatal than the one detected in Uganda. "It is normally less mortal and less virulent then the one we have seen in other places... But still it stays a very dangerous and mortal disease... we expect normally figures around 25 to 35% mortality," Ms Weggheleire said. The charity says its staff in the affected area in north-east DR Congo are taking measures to locate and isolate anyone who has been in contact with those infected. Experts have said that Isiro's position as a transit point could make an outbreak more challenging to control. The virus, which is transmitted to humans from both monkeys and birds, causes massive internal bleeding and has a very high mortality rate. It is one of the most virulent diseases in the world and is spread by close personal contact. There is no vaccine for the virus and symptoms of infection include a sudden onset of fever, weakness, headache, vomiting and kidney problems. Web users in Cuba are being diverted to another website, which accuses Ms Sanchez of having hidden political interests. Ms Sanchez said her website, called 14ymedio, would provide daily news about the communist-run country. She insisted it would not be a platform against the government. But web users in Cuba reported that they were being diverted to a website calling itself "yoani$landia", which accuses Ms Sanchez of being "obsessed with money". "This website is from a group of people who had enough of seeing Yoani Sanchez presenting herself as the Mother Teresa of Calcutta of Cuban dissidents," says an article on the site. It adds that Ms Sanchez is "probably the richest Cuban on the island" and is funded by Spanish and Brazilian media outfits. The editors of yoani$landia do not identify themselves, but they are believed to be Cuban government officials. Cuban media, including the country's three national newspapers, are under strict state control. But President Raul Castro has eased restrictions on dissidents in recent years, allowing opponents of the government - including Sanchez - to travel abroad. In her blog published in the online paper's first edition, Sanchez says 14ymedio has been an obsession for her for more than four years. She says she wants the paper to "contribute information so that Cubans can decide with more maturity their own destinies". Its first edition also features a report from a Havana hospital, describing the work of nurses and other staff on night duty and the victims of violence they attend to. It also showcases a lengthy interview with jailed opposition writer Angel Santiesteban. But not all its contents is of a political nature. There is also advice on how to deal with dry or damaged hair and a sports feature on why Cuban football is getting less coverage and state backing than baseball. Sanchez achieved international recognition with her prize-winning blog Generation Y, in which she criticised the restrictions on freedom of speech and movement imposed on the island since the 1959 revolution.

Mr Shapps admitted he had "over firmly" denied continuing his work as a web marketing expert under the name Michael Green, after being elected in 2005. Labour wants an inquiry into whether his outside interests, which were fully declared at the time, breached rules. Downing Street said the prime minister had "full confidence" in Mr Shapps. And David Cameron defended his party chairman in an online interview with Buzzfeed on Monday evening, saying Mr Shapps had made a mistake and it was time to "move on". In an interview with LBC Radio three weeks ago, Mr Shapps said it was "absolutely clear" he was not doing business as Michael Green while he was an MP, saying "I did not have a second job while being an MP; end of story". However, Mr Shapps has now acknowledged that he was mistaken over the dates" of his outside employment during the interview. This came after the Guardian issued what it says is a recording of a sales pitch made in the summer of 2006 in which Mr Shapps, using his Michael Green pen name, says he will be running his "mentoring programme" to hire staff and produce software to create websites, claiming his products could make listeners a "ton of cash by Christmas". There are no rules banning MPs from having other sources of employment, but they do have to declare any paid employment outside Parliament. Key dates: 2000: Grant Shapps and his wife Belinda launch How to Corp Ltd March 2005: The business is incorporated May 2005: Grant Shapps is elected MP for Welwyn Hatfield November 2005: Grant Shapps declares his interest in How to Corp Ltd in the Commons Register of Members' Interests 2008: Grant Shapps transfers his shareholding in How to Corp Ltd to his wife. Interest in How to Corp no longer registered in Commons Register May 2010: Grant Shapps becomes a housing minister 2012: Police decide not to launch investigation into software sales by How to Corp following a Labour complaint September 2012: Grant Shapps becomes Conservative Party chairman 2013: How to Corp Ltd reportedly dissolved Mr Shapps' directorship and shareholding in the firm How to Corp Ltd - which featured him under the name Michael Green - was declared in the Parliamentary register of members interest. for 2005 to 2008. And Conservative sources said Mr Shapps did not regard his interest in his firm as "a second job" - as the company was in the process of being wound up at the time - and more of "a hobby on the side". They said he had earned minimal income from the job and likened his earnings to those made by other MPs who have written books. A party spokesman said: "Like many authors and journalists, Grant wrote with a pen name. This was completely transparent: his full name and biographical details were permanently published on the company's main website." In his first entry in the register after being elected in November 2005, Mr Shapps declared paid directorships and shareholdings in Printhouse Corporation and marketing firm How to Corp. He continued to declare the paid directorship with How to Corp for several years afterwards, the last entry coming in June 2008. The source said: "It turns on the semantics of what constitutes a second job." Defending Mr Shapps, Mr Cameron said: "Grant did have another job when he first became an MP and he declared that in the Register of Members' Interests which is what you are meant to do. "But he obviously made a mistake by saying in some interviews that the work had stopped earlier than it had. He's put that right so I think we can put that behind him. He's doing a good job." Conservative colleagues have also voiced their support for Mr Shapps, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt suggesting the criticism of him was "incredible". He tweeted: "His sin not to use pseudonym but to write books about how to create wealth - shock horror." Conservative MP Nadine Dorries said Mr Shapps had "stumbled" in an interview over the exact dates but that the wider accusations were "re-hashed nonsense". However, Labour MP John Mann suggested Mr Shapps should consider his position as Minister without Portfolio in the government.

Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps has said he "screwed up" in a recent interview when he suggested he never had a second job while an MP.

During Prime Minister's Questions, he also confirmed the current arrangements were the subject of an urgent review. Lorry fires led to the closure of the Channel Tunnel on 17 January, affecting passengers and hundreds of hauliers. The tunnel reopened but power supply issues caused more delays and Operation Stack was in put place on the M20. "It is important that we learn the lessons from this incident and if this report comes up with good suggestions then obviously we'll look at them very, very carefully," said Mr Cameron. The prime minister was responding to Charlie Elphicke, the MP for Dover and Deal, who asked him to support a long-term solution to the problem. During Operation Stack lorries are parked on the M20 and non-freight traffic diverted off the motorway. At the end of January, £3m was allocated from the government's Local Growth Fund for a 3,300-space lorry park that is aimed at relieving pressure caused by Operation Stack. Kent County Council wants to build a park at Westenhanger using its capital, as well as a £12.7m loan, to fund construction. But the proposal has been described as "bonkers" by David Monk, Conservative leader of Shepway District Council.

David Cameron says lessons need to be learnt after a fire and power problems at Eurotunnel led to days of delays on the main routes to the Channel ports.

The rock group, whose hits include Substitute and My Generation, announced The Who Hits 50 tour would include songs from across their career. "This is the beginning of the long goodbye," said singer Roger Daltrey. "We can't go on touring forever... it could be open-ended, but it will have a finality to it. "We'll stop touring before we stop playing." He admitted that touring was "incredibly tough on the body". Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend revealed the latest tour dates at a launch event at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London's Soho, where they played a short acoustic set. Arriving on stage carrying a Union Jack mug, Daltrey joked that he was adjusting his hearing aid before launching into Substitute - accompanied by Townshend on a 12-string guitar. The Who had premiered their rock opera Tommy album at the same tiny venue in 1969. Townshend said he had recently given Daltrey demo recordings of three new new songs. "Happily he likes them, so we are now considering trying to get into the studio this summer. " He said they planned to record in a "more basic way" than normal, taking inspiration from Daltrey's recent album with Wilko Johnson. Townshend added that his songwriting style was "pretty complicated - it's more prog rock than pub rock". Townshend said The Who's UK tour would include "hits, picks, mixes and misses". "A lot of our long-term fans are always trying to get us to play songs which are in the back catalogue. There's a slim possibly that we might be able to have a few of those in the mix." He recalled that for The Who's 25th anniversary tour in 1989, the band had rehearsed around 100 songs. "We're not going to go to that extent this time. We are hoping that there will be a few nice surprises for people who have seen us many times." It is thought that some new songs will feature on the tour. The band's last album of new material was 2006's Endless Wire. The Who have sold more than 100 million records since forming in 1964. Their best-known albums include My Generation, Tommy and Quadrophenia. The original line-up included drummer Keith Moon, who died from an accidental overdose in 1978, and bassist John Entwistle who died of a heart attack in 2002. In 2013, The Who toured the UK with a full-length performance of 1973's Quadrophenia, which inspired the 1979 film of the same name. The Who Hits 50 UK tour begins at Glasgow SSE Hydro on 30 November and ends at London's The O2 on 17 December.

The Who have announced that they are planning to record some new songs ahead of a 50th anniversary UK tour.

This has been a grim and bruising week in the news, with 22 people killed and 64 injured in the Manchester suicide bombing.

David Raven, an early replacement for Carl Tremarco, volleyed in a terrific opener, before Lonsana Doumbouya clipped home Caley Thistle's second. Hearts' Bjorn Johnsen netted before half-time, before a speculative Faycal Rherras cross was allowed to bounce into the home net untouched to level. Aaron Doran fired Inverness ahead again, but the visitors equalised once more through Arnaud Djoum. Caley Thistle remain in sixth place, with Hearts overtaking Aberdeen in third. This was a truly brilliant, end-to-end game of football. Inverness manager Richie Foran pointed to the strength of his squad pre-match and was forced to make unexpected changes. Cammy Mackay replaced Owain Fon Williams in goal, who was listed to start, and Foran soon had to replace Tremarco with Raven, who slotted in at left back. The change produced an unexpected benefit when Raven superbly volleyed home after a fantastic nod down from Ross Draper. Doumbouya had already directed a header onto the top of the crossbar before he extended the lead with a fine finish after Liam Polworth centred. Credit to Hearts though who took advantage of poor defending through Johnsen who finished brilliantly. They pushed on from that although the equaliser was laced with fortune. Rherras hoisted in a cross which evaded everyone, with goalkeeper MacKay unable to divert the bouncing ball wide. Inverness might have crumbled with Hearts looking strong at that stage but Doran showed his value to nip possession from Don Cowie and neatly finish to put the home side ahead once more. Hearts piled forward in response and the introduction of Tony Watt sparked a number of chances. One counted when he teed-up Djoum to hit a sweet low shot across MacKay into the corner. It's hard to be critical of either side after such a thrilling contest but better defending from either might have secured three points. Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson dropped Watt and Connor Sammon in favour of Johnsen and Jamie Walker to address a lack of punch up-front. It was slackness at the back that cost them the win. Raven was allowed too much space for the opener, Doumbouya even more so for the second and Cowie ought to have dealt with it before Doran pounced for Inverness' third. Offensively, Hearts were increasingly effective and that will encourage Neilson. For the second game running, though, Hearts had the possibility to finish the day in second place. Once again, it was an opportunity they failed to take. The home side had to be resolute at the back as the game wore on and did well to hold out at times. But when comfortable at 2-0 the defence seemed to switch off, allowing Johnsen to get Hearts back into it - perhaps Josh Meekings slipped, allowing the striker space. Either way, had they held firm for longer it may have been a more comfortable route to victory. Hearts' second was unfortunate with MacKay caught between a rock and a hard place as the ball came in. The hosts did hold firm with Hearts pushing on for long periods in the second half before Djoum netted. In the end, both sides merited something given their intent to go forward and deserve enormous credit for delivering a fabulously entertaining 90 minutes.

Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the VisitScotland deal, a first for TripAdvisor in Europe, in New York. Speaking on the final day of her visit to the US, the first minister said it would promote Scottish tourism to 70 million potential new visitors. The two organisations will work on a joint marketing campaign in the UK. Ms Sturgeon said: "Our tourism industry has always been strong - spending by North American visitors leapt by almost 28% to £633m in the last year alone. "However, it's crucial that we ensure Scotland's appeal reaches as wide an audience as possible. "This collaboration will ensure that millions more people will understand Scotland's appeal, and boost Scotland's tourism industry for years to come. "The fact TripAdvisor has chosen Scotland as its first European partner shows just how resilient they believe Scotland's economy to be - and the fact we were voted the second-best country in the world to visit by the Rough Guide means site visitors are guaranteed a good holiday." Charlie Smith, of VisitScotland, said: "TripAdvisor is the biggest tourism website in the world based on tourists' real experiences. "This partnership will give us the chance to learn from those at the forefront of innovation while inspiring millions of potential new visitors. "This collaboration will help us put Scotland's regions, cities and unique experiences on the world stage and to grow our tourism industry for future generations." The £400,000 compartment fire simulator is part of an expanded partnership between the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd. Similar facilities will be installed in airports in Inverness, Stornoway and Kirkwall over the next two years. Bosses said the scheme would improve access to training across the country. SFRS Chief Officer Alasdair Hay welcomed the expansion of the partnership with HIAL. He said: "Our primary aim is to ensure all employees have the skills and knowledge required to perform their role competently, with the focus of increasing firefighter safety and reducing risk to our local communities. "Improving the quality, efficiency and infrastructure of training provision and commercial opportunities through this partnership enables us to ensure that effective training is provided to all employees in a consistent, professional standard and quality - irrespective of geographical location." David Hackett, airport fire service operations manager for HIAL, added: "As one of the largest airport fire groups in the UK, our professional firefighters train for a wide variety of potential scenarios, which are quite distinct from the challenges faced by SFRS firefighters. "We therefore welcome the opportunity to work with the team at SFRS and share best practice. It will be a valuable learning experience for both partners, and we look forward to expanding this partnership approach at other HIAL airports." Instead of criticism, the peer earned a polite round of applause. He hastily added that he paid the equivalent of his tax bill to charity, at the Fabian Society fringe meeting. During one of the most surreal spectacles of this year's Labour conference, he said he thought the next election was Ed Miliband's to lose. Lord Ashcroft, who was sharing a platform with senior Labour figures, including John Denham, said he had been impressed by the Labour leader's conference speech, which he had watched from the balcony at the Brighton Centre. "I enjoyed the speech. I thought he delivered it well. He was self-deprecating and handled humour extremely well. Unfortunately for him, I doubt it will go very far towards convincing a sceptical public about his qualities as a leader." Lord Ashcroft, a former Tory Party treasurer who has donated millions to the party, has reinvented himself in recent years as a widely respected pollster and internet politics magnate. He did not have good news for the Labour leader from his latest batch of focus groups, saying his researchers "regularly hear words like 'out of his depth' and 'not as good as his brother'". "Infuriating though this must be to you all, it shows how hard it is to change perceptions of a leader once they are entrenched," he said. He said Labour had been lulled into a false sense of security by the mass defection of Lib Dem voters after the last election, but the party had still not done enough to regain voters' trust on the economy. He also attacked Mr Miliband's announcement of plans to freeze gas and electricity bills, which he called a "form of price control" that was "doomed" to fail. But despite all of that, he added, he still thought the next election was Labour's to lose. "For many swing voters, Labour's great virtue is that its heart is in the right place. If Labour is the party that understands people, the Tories are the party who will take tough decisions even if they are unpopular. When Labour could claim a monopoly on both those things, the party was unbeatable." He said his polling in marginal seats showed a "great swing to the Labour Party", but added that, as polling day approached, "we could see the closest election in 40 years". The peer, who until 2010 was not domiciled in the UK for tax purposes, ended by speaking about his humble origins and his belief in the creation of wealth. He said he had recently spoken to senior Labour figures, including former campaigns chief Tom Watson and frontbencher Michael Dugher, about how good it would be for the parties to work together. "From my own point of view, yes, I am a notorious tax avoider and, I'd like you to know, in the confidence of this room, that I still am and I'm proud of it," he told the meeting, to laughter. He added: "Every year, just before the end of the tax year, I see what my taxable income is and I give it to charity." But he could not resist a final battle cry to round off the meeting, telling the Labour faithful: "I remain a proud tax avoider." She told a BBC TV election special it had been a "terrible mistake" to make "a promise which we could not keep" while in coalition at Westminster. The Welsh Lib Dems want to replace tuition fee subsidies of up to £5,190 a year with maintenance grants of £2,500. Ms Williams said the policy was more affordable than the current system. The Lib Dems' own review of their 2015 general election defeat cited the U-turn on tuition fees as one of the reasons for their collapse from 57 seats in 2010 to eight. Taking questions from an audience on the BBC's Ask the Leader programme, Ms Williams said: "I can't get away from the terrible mistake my party made in the coalition in Westminster. "We made a promise which we could not keep, and that let people down. "It didn't matter that Labour introduced fees, [and] they'd raised them. Plaid Cymru had raised them in the assembly. Our wrong did not make those wrongs right. "What we can do now is be very clear and upfront about what is affordable. "I could stand here and I could say that's fine, we can carry on paying these student fee grants for years and years when the reality is I can't make that promise. "I don't want to make the same mistakes as my colleagues. I do things differently in my party in Wales. I don't want to make those same mistakes. "That's why in this election we're offering a policy which we believe is affordable and which we believe is deliverable." Asked if students would be £2,000 a year worse off under the Welsh Lib Dem plan, Ms Williams said: "Not upfront. "At the moment no student gets that financial support upfront. The support goes to an institution in England." Welsh Labour has ruled out means testing for university tuition fee grants if the party remains in power after the election in May. The Welsh Conservatives would replace tuition subsidies with a scheme paying half the rent for students not living at home. Plaid Cymru would also scrap tuition fee subsidies and instead pay Welsh students working in Wales after graduation £6,000 a year, up to a maximum of £18,000. UKIP has said it would like to cut tuition fees, while the Greens have called for free university education across the UK. Their names rhyme, their clothes match - Japanese couple Bon and Pon are putting a smile on the social media world with their perfectly co-ordinated chic outfits and silver hair. In an Instagram account that screams #lifegoals, the couple, 60 and 61, post demure photos of their everyday life in amazing matching outfits. Bon and Pon, married for 37 years, created their account just three months ago, but they are already Instagram celebrities - @bonpon511 has an enviable 89,000 followers (and counting). Not many couples could get away with matching tartan, but Bon and Pon can. It's not only their devotion to co-ordination that makes them so appealing. They also have impeccable taste - wearing minimalist colours, tailored cuts and smart shoes.

But why do they co-ordinate their look? "It's fun to wear matching clothes," says Bon. Bon told the BBC they particularly liked to match outfits on holiday. Even their children are in on it. Here they are in a gift from their daughter - matching scarves. Sometimes they wear the same outfit twice - so there is hope for the rest of us. In one photo, Pon appears alone.

Diageo shares rose more than 4% after the company - whose brands include Johnnie Walker Scotch and Smirnoff vodka - reported a 4.4% rise in sales for the half-year to 31 December. The company said it had been helped by an improved performance from its US spirits business. Whitbread shares were the biggest fallers on the index, down nearly 6% after the company reported disappointing trading at the London branches of its Premier Inn hotels business. A key revenue measure for the London hotels fell by 6% in the three months to 1 December. The results overshadowed better figures from its Costa Coffee chain, where like-for-like sales grew by 4.3%. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.15% against the dollar to $1.2652 and was 0.3% higher against the euro at 1.1783 euros. The 10:30 BST start for the group game was delayed, and with no respite from the weather, play was abandoned without a ball bowled at about 14:15 BST. Both sides won their opening games, but take a point apiece from this match. New Zealand - as one of the tournament favourites - will be the more frustrated side after the washout. Both are next in action on Sunday, with South Africa meeting West Indies in Leicester, while White Ferns captain Suzie Bates has the chance to play her 100th one-day international as New Zealand face rivals Australia at Bristol. Currently 27 manufacturers have a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California. However there must always be a human being in the car. Google's driverless car company Waymo said that in 2016 it drove 636,000 miles in the state and required 124 human interventions. This was down from 341 in 424,000 miles in 2015. The new proposals include a framework for how the testing would work and also what would be required by manufacturers to make the vehicles available outside the tests. "These rules expand our existing autonomous vehicle testing programme to include testing vehicles where no driver is present," said Jean Shiomoto, director of the California Department of Motor Vehicles. "This is the next step in eventually allowing driverless autonomous vehicles on California roadways." The department is now inviting written feedback until 24 April. Bonucci, 30, spent Friday in talks with Milan and will sign a five-year deal subject to passing a medical. He has won six league titles in seven years with Juve, and signed a contract extension until 2021 last December. The move comes weeks after Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri said Bonucci would be "leader of the dressing room".

The Germany-born player joined United from Exeter City in the summer of 2012. "I feel I am ready to play first-team football," Goss told BBC Sport. "I am buzzing it is all done." He added: "It was a tough decision because I still had time on my contract but I felt the time was right to get out there and show everyone what I can do. Manchester United wanted to loan me out. "Hopefully I can settle down in London quickly and start to play." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page or visit our Premier League tracker here. The Italian, 47, still has two seasons left on the three-year deal he signed when he joined the club last summer. The Stamford Bridge outfit are keen to reward Conte for an outstanding debut campaign in which he won the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final. Despite rumours that he was thinking of a return to Italy, Conte said last month that he wanted to stay in London. Chelsea are still to make a signing this summer. Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a return to the club he left for £28m in 2014, while Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez and Juventus right-back Dani Alves - who is also a target for Manchester City - have been identified as possible targets. On 9 June, striker Diego Costa said Conte had sent him a text message to say he no longer wanted the Spain striker at the club. Stephen McCusker, who worked at the Rachel House Hospice in Kinross, downloaded 1,740 images of children, 40 of which were considered indecent. The 48-year-old, from Glenrothes in Fife, said he could offer no excuses except "curiosity mixed with wine". The Nursing and Midwifery Council banned him for 12 months. Panel chairman Brian Yates said McCusker had a 20-year career without any disciplinary action or complaint. He also said that the images were at the lower end of the indecent image scale. The nurse pleaded guilty last year to one count of taking, or permitting to be taken, indecent photos of children over a four-year period. He was given a three-year supervision order by the court and ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work. The court heard McCusker had been viewing the material for "quite some time" and he had told officers that he would "view it, feel disgusted and then delete it". McCusker said he was "interested" in young boys and girls but had never sexually abused a child, adding he could offer "no explanation" for his behaviour. He was not present or represented at the Nursing and Midwifery Council. He sent a letter which said: 'I was a nurse for 20 years with an exemplary record. I find it difficult to put in words my shame at the damage I have inflicted on the reputation of the Children's Hospice Association Scotland and the NMC." McCusker resigned from his post at the hospice immediately after his arrest, the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told. Mr Yates said: "Mr McCusker has brought the profession into disrepute as a consequence of his conviction and in particular by reason of the nature of the offence involved. "Members of the public would be deeply concerned to learn that a learning disabilities and children's nurse, working in a children's hospice had a conviction for offences relating to possession of indecent images of children." Hereford-born Morris, 22, only signed a two-year deal in May but his existing contract is now extended by a year. "You could see his potential. Now he's started to believe it himself," Walsall boss Jon Whitney told BBC Sport. "Some players get discarded too quickly and Kieron could easily have been one. But this club gives players like him more time and he's worked hard for it." Whitney added: "He's one of my main players now, he's on the teamsheet." "This club is amazing for bringing youngsters through," said Morris. "You only have to look at some of the names who have passed through the door in the last five, 10, 15 years. It's a place where you will get your chance and it's up to you then to take it." Morris has taken his chance this season following the summer departure of many of the first-team regulars that took Walsall to the League One play-offs. After scoring in successive matches against Charlton, Bury and Grimsby Town in August, he also netted in Saturday's 3-2 win over Shrewsbury. It was part of an unbeaten four-game run which has seen Walsall pick up seven points out of a possible nine in League One, climbing to within four points of the play-off zone, as well as reaching the next round of the EFL Trophy. "We're starting to click now as a team," he said. "It's one defeat in eight for us so we have to keep this run going and try to get up the table." North Wales Police will train people, who will then be sent to problem areas with hand-held speed guns. Details of speeders will be sent to police. Offenders will get two warning letters and on the third speeding occasion police will take action. Sgt John Roberts said: "Our aim is to spread the message that our community simply won't stand for speeding motorists." Menzies said Iain Napier had informed the company that he wished to retire. Mr Napier, who joined the board eight years ago, will step down after the group's annual general meeting on Friday. He is the third high-ranking figure this year to leave the Edinburgh-based print distribution and aviation services company. In January, former chief executive Jeremy Stafford resigned after just 15 months in the post, citing "personal reasons". And last month, chief financial officer Paula Bell gave notice of her intention to resign in July, in order to join the board of Spirent Communications. In a statement on Wednesday, the company said Mr Napier's wish to retire was "in line with the reduction of his other plc responsibilities". Current non-executive group director Dermot Jenkinson will become interim chairman, following Mr Napier's departure. He will run the process of appointing a permanent successor. Mr Jenkinson said: "The board would like to thank Iain for his considerable contribution to the John Menzies business and board over the last eight years. "He has marshalled us through significant periods of change over his tenure with great skill and experience. We wish him the very best for the future." In March, John Menzies reported that contractual problems at London Gatwick Airport last year cost the company £6m in lost earnings. In its annual results statement, the firm said profits were hit by increased labour costs incurred in maintaining ground handling service levels. Overall pre-tax profit for the year was down by about 30%, at £18.2m. The group's turnover for the year was flat at just under £2bn. Mr Balls said Mr Corbyn's approach was "devoid of connection to the reality of people's lives". The remarks are made in his autobiography, Speaking Out, which also includes candid reflections on Labour's general election defeat last year. Mr Corbyn's campaign team said there was "nothing utopian" about working for "ordinary, hard-working people". In his memoir, serialised in the Times, Mr Balls reflects on a political career that took him from the commanding heights of government to crushing defeat at the general election. He lost his seat of Morley and Outwood to Conservative Andrea Jenkyns in the 2015 vote. On his relationship with former leader Ed Miliband, he writes: "Having kept me at a distance in the run-up to the election in 2015, I think we probably only spoke twice in the whole four-week election campaign. "That was astonishingly dysfunctional when I compare it to how Tony [Blair] and Gordon [Brown] worked." He also opens up on Ed Miliband's 2014 conference speech, after which the then Labour leader was widely criticised for forgetting to mention immigration or the deficit. "The omissions were a symbol of Labour not being willing to face up to the problems the country was worried about and proof that we were trying to brush difficult issues under the carpet. "We weren't ready — and didn't deserve — to return to government. It was incredibly frustrating," he said. His criticism of Mr Miliband's successor is stronger still. He writes: "Refusing to listen to the electorate has never been a winning formula, any more than Jeremy Corbyn thinking the volume of the cheering from your core supporters is a reliable guide to wider public opinion. "Caution will not win the day; but nor will Jeremy Corbyn's leftist utopian fantasy, devoid of connection to the reality of people's lives." Mr Balls's reflections come as MPs prepare to return to Westminster - and he prepares to appear on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing. The Jeremy Corbyn for PM campaign tweeted that it was "sad to see" Ed Balls's comments, saying "All members of Labour should be striving for the policies that Jeremy has laid out." "There's nothing utopian about wanting this country to work in the interests of ordinary, hard-working people. There's nothing fantastical about believing in a system where people are treated as equal." It was "a bit rich for a man who lost the support of the country at large - and even the voters in his own seat - to lecture on being 'in touch'," it added. "It's worrying that a former shadow chancellor of the exchequer should feel that rail nationalisation, energy democracy and clamping down on tax avoidance is a leftist utopian fantasy." Matuidi headed home in the 93rd minute after PSG had allowed Metz to come back from 2-0 down to level late on. Edinson Cavani and Matuidi had put the reigning champions in charge during a three-minute first-half spell. Yann Jouffre curled in a free-kick before Cheick Diabate levelled for Metz but Matuidi had the final say.

I had just been sacked as player-manager by Chelsea and, along with Ronald, Frank Rijkaard and Marco van Basten, I went on a special fast-track course that the Dutch FA had put on for former top international players that allowed us to get our badges in only a year. Koeman, who had retired in 1997, had always wanted to become a manager when he was a player and you could tell then he wanted to make the most of this opportunity. We were all enthusiastic but even his note-taking was extremely systematic - it still makes me laugh that he wrote everything down very carefully using lots of different coloured pens. That course was 18 years ago but Koeman is still a very pragmatic guy who loves to have a structure in place, which is part of the reason he has made a successful start at Everton after his impressive two-year spell at Southampton. One of his sayings is "how you train is how you play", which has been his mantra since we played together for PSV Eindhoven and the Dutch national team in the 1980s. I was always used to that approach too. It was rule number one under the best coaches I played for and the idea is that during the week you mimic the conditions you will play under on Saturday, so you get used to them. I am sure Everton players have found out already what is expected of them - Koeman will not let them switch off during training games or think they can only give 70% effort. It has to be 100%. He has increased the intensity of their sessions but there is more to his approach as a manager than just hard work and discipline. Technically and tactically he is very strong too, and part of that is linked to how he was as a player. Koeman was a brilliant defender but he was not very quick. If you are the slowest player on the pitch then you always have to be thinking what will happen next. He needed to anticipate things all the time, but he did it so well he never made any slide tackles because he never had to, he always saw things coming. In fact, he saw slide tackles as a last resort. So I know he always understood the game very, very well. He was always in the right place so he never got in any trouble. That made him a very intelligent player and it is also why he is such an intelligent coach - he thinks ahead. One example of that is when he took charge at Everton in the summer, he knew how they had conceded too many goals from set-pieces last season, so he has been trying to improve that, and it has worked. He is quiet, considered and thoughtful and his whole personality is like that - even away from football too - although he is not afraid of raising his voice when he has to with his players. Those communication and man-management skills were obvious when we were players. I was captain of the Dutch team that won the 1988 European Championship, but we had a couple of players who took responsibility for their area of the team and he was one of them. Koeman was captain of our defence and leadership was one of his strengths. In that era, we had a lot of strong personalities right through the Dutch team. People now say that we were always fighting but that is not true. We could argue at times, though, because ultimately we always wanted to win and, if somebody did not do their job at the back then I needed Ronald to tell him that. Media playback is not supported on this device Sometimes I watch Premier League games here and when people make mistakes they say nothing to each other - they just let it go and it is like happy families. I don't understand it. If you want to win, you have to wake people up and I have seen Koeman do it already at Everton. With his treatment of Ross Barkley in the past few weeks, he has been trying to sting him a little. That is also our way - the Dutch way - a little bit. He has high standards and he has been saying to Barkley that if you don't want to listen to me, then you have to learn the hard way. By leaving him out, or taking him off, then Koeman is thinking that maybe he will learn. He is trying to show Barkley that this is how you will end up if you don't do what is necessary for me, but for sure he will also have told the player that he is only doing it because he wants him to become better. Koeman has done it to get a reaction and he got one against West Ham on Sunday, when Barkley scored his first league goal since the opening day of the season. Media playback is not supported on this device It was not a great game, or a great performance by Everton but they took their chances against the Hammers and got the win. They also got a clean sheet, and Tottenham are the only top-flight side to have conceded fewer goals in their first 10 games. That is something else Koeman will have worked on, although you would not say Everton are a defensive-minded team. In terms of his style of play, I think he is very versatile. He played for so many great teams and had exposure to many different styles, with the ultimate being Johan Cruyff's Barcelona. But of course he cannot play like Barca did when he is with Everton, and he understands that you have to adapt your style to the players you have got. As a coach you learn that, although you have a philosophy, that doesn't mean you have a set tactical philosophy. That can be something totally different each week. You also have to adapt to the league you are in. Koeman has experience across Europe but he also knows the Premier League now after his two seasons with Southampton. He knows how to get results in England but he also knows to stay calm when they do not come. Before Sunday, Everton had suffered a little drop in form after their good start to the season but he believes in his players so there was no need for him to panic. Koeman finished seventh and sixth in his two seasons at Southampton and it is going to be hard for him to improve on that with Everton, especially when you consider the other teams above them. It will be a fantastic achievement if they do manage it and under Koeman I know they will fight hard, so they have a chance. Ruud Gullit was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The defendant was arrested after a woman out shopping saw a man crouch down and aim what she believed was a smartphone under her skirt. Previously, a judge said the defendant could not be made to reveal the code, citing constitutional protections. That decision has now been reversed by the Florida Court of Appeal's Second District. Store CCTV captured footage of a man crouched down, holding an illuminated device and moving it towards the victim's skirt, according to court documents published by news site Courthouse News. Aaron Stahl was identified by law enforcement officers who reviewed the footage, according to court documents. After his arrest, Mr Stahl initially agreed to allow officers to search his iPhone 5, which he told them was at his home. However, once it had been retrieved by police - but before he had revealed his passcode - he withdrew consent to the search. The trial court had decided that Mr Stahl could be protected by the Fifth Amendment, which is designed to prevent self-incrimination. However, Judge Anthony Black's formal opinion to the court quashed the decision. Judge Black referred to a famous Supreme Court case, Doe v US 1988, in which Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that a defendant could be made to surrender a key to a strongbox containing incriminating documents but they could not "be compelled to reveal the combination to his wall safe". "We question whether identifying the key which will open the strongbox - such that the key is surrendered - is, in fact, distinct from telling an officer the combination," wrote Judge Black. "More importantly, we question the continuing viability of any distinction as technology advances." However, the decision was criticised by senior staff attorney, Mark Rumold, at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group. "I think they got it wrong," he told the BBC "This is not the first time this issue has come up in the courts and I think other courts have done a better job of evaluating the Fifth Amendment and the constitutional rights that are at stake." Mr Rumold said there were "sound constitutional reasons" to prevent the state compelling information from a defendant's mind. He added that there were a number of cases across the US in different courts tackling the issues around unlocking phones. "It's something the Supreme Court will need to weigh in on eventually," he said. Most of Crimea's two million people have been hit by the power cut. There are also some water shortages. Anti-Russian activists were blamed for the cut. Russian forces annexed Crimea in March 2014, during Ukraine's crisis. Public transport is still running and Crimean hospitals are using generators. A state of emergency was imposed in Crimea on Sunday after two more key pylons were damaged - bringing the total to four. Monday was declared a non-working day. It is still not clear how exactly the pylons were damaged in Kherson, a Ukrainian region adjacent to Crimea. That region has been tense since Russia's annexation of Crimea - an act that was condemned internationally. Crimean Tatar activists, denying repair workers access to the damaged power lines, suggested that the weakened pylons were blown down by the wind. But Ukraine's state energy company, Ukrenergo, said the damage was caused by "shelling or the use of explosive devices". Russia has blamed Ukrainian nationalists from far-right party Right Sector as well as Crimean Tatar activists, calling it "an act of terrorism". Earlier this year those activist groups prevented food lorries crossing into Crimea. The blackout has knocked out street lighting and cut cable and mobile internet. It has also forced the closure of some 150 schools. A Crimean Tatar activist told Ukraine's TV news broadcaster 112 Ukrayina that Russia must release "political prisoners" and let their leader Mustafa Dzhemilev return to Crimea in exchange for repairs to the power lines. But later Mr Dzhemilev, leader of the Crimean Tatar National Movement, told BBC Ukrainian that his supporters would grant repair workers access to the power lines. "I think that Crimea will have electricity soon", he said. Crimean Tatar activists accuse Russia of abusing Tatar rights and denying them a voice since a pro-Moscow government was installed in Crimea. Images on social media show Ukrainian flags on some damaged pylons - and Crimean Tatar flags on others. Crimean authorities said they had managed to partially reconnect the cities of Simferopol, Yalta and Sevastopol using generators. Only 30% of Crimea's electricity is generated locally - the rest comes from Ukraine, Russia's government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta reported. Emergency power-saving measures have been imposed: Sevastopol is getting three hours' supply, followed by a six-hour cut; in Simferopol residents have three-hour power cuts three times a day. Ukrainian authorities said they encountered activists blockading the site when they tried to repair the damaged pylons. The power cut is threatening food outlets which rely on cold storage and lack generating capacity. A hospital worker said the electricity was sufficient to keep wards warm but not to power hot plates, so patients were only getting cold food. The engineering giant said it would be investing the majority of the £150m in a new test bed in Derby. This facility would test large civil aero-engines creating up to 200 jobs. There will be no compulsory redundancies in Derby, or Hucknall and Annesley in Nottinghamshire - safeguarding 7,000 jobs for five years. Rolls-Royce has further axed plans to close a precision machining facility in Derby, which would save about 150 jobs. Live updates from the East Midlands Simon Hemmings, from the Unite union, said the deal was "a once in a generation type of investment and a big commitment to the UK". "It's about keeping jobs in Derby for 25 years plus and we are hoping it will bring hundreds of millions of pounds to the city," he added. "We are so proud, it's brilliant news." Eric Schulz, president of civil aerospace at Rolls-Royce, said: "This investment comes at a time of unprecedented growth in Rolls-Royce. "We are doubling the production of new engines at the same time as introducing three new engines to the market." Business Secretary, Greg Clark MP, said: "The UK and Rolls-Royce are known throughout the world as pioneers of advanced engineering technology. "I welcome the confidence the company is showing in the UK." Tylicki suffered a T7 paralysis in a four-horse pile-up riding Nellie Dean. James Fanshawe, who trained the Tylicki mount Speedy Boarding to victory in May's Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville, was among paying tribute. "Freddy has a tremendous character and this will help him with the battle ahead," he said. The sport was united in support for Tylicki, said Professional Jockeys Association chief executive Paul Struthers. "Racing may have many issues and flaws but its biggest strength is how it pulls together in difficult, tragic times," he said. "Freddy is one of the most popular members of the weighing room and will not lack for support, with offers already flooding in." At The Races presenter Matt Chapman set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Tylicki's recovery, which has already far surpassed its target of £20,000. He wrote on the page: "We all know the risks jockeys take, and we all know they know the risks. But when one gets badly hurt those of us who love the game, bet on the game, need the game, have the opportunity to come together and say: 'You know what? We can help this person.' "Freddy Tylicki is going to need loads of help." Steve Drowne, who avoided injury when his mount, Skara Mae, was brought down in the same incident, added: "He is everyone's friend and he loved doing what he was doing and had just had his best year ever, getting a couple of Group Ones in the book. But racing is probably the last thing he is thinking about now." Emerging Newmarket-based trainer Charlie Fellowes said he would always be thankful to Tylicki for providing him with his first winner on a day that he described as the "happiest of my life". Tylicki rode Barbary to victory in a seven-furlong handicap at Lingfield in February 2014. Fellowes said: "He is the happiest, most genuine guy you will come across. He always came in with a smile on his face and he would never be in a bad mood." Rod Millman, who employed Tylicki more than any other trainer this year, believes the rider's character will help him in the future. "This was the news we were dreading all week and the whole yard is devastated. He does, though, have great spirit and I'm sure that will see him through," he said. The stewards on duty at Kempton on Monday concluded the incident was accidental, and the British Horseracing Authority has no plans for a further review. "Thankfully, incidents such as these are a rare occurrence but we are not complacent and the issue of racecourse safety is one that we keep under constant review," said a spokesman. The Democratic-led Senate voted 54-46 against the bill, which would fund the government only if President Obama's healthcare law were delayed a year. If no agreement is reached by midnight (04:00 GMT), the government will close all non-essential federal services. The shutdown would be the first in the US in 17 years. By Mark MardellNorth America editor The Republican leadership in the House are not stupid. But they are trapped by their radicals. Any backing away from confrontation could brand John Boehner an Obama-loving apostate, and cost him his job. The same goes for his members who don't want to be deselected in primary elections. This is not about ideology. The Republicans in the House are all conservatives, all hate "Obamacare" and think government spending is irresponsibly out of hand. This is about strategy. It is an argument between those Republicans who want to rush to the barricades and go down in a blaze of glory, heroes of the revolution to like-minded Tea Party types, and those who think it is a pointless charge but don't want to be labelled traitors and cowards. More than 700,000 federal government workers could be sent home on unpaid leave, with no guarantee of back pay once the deadlock is over. One of the key points of contention in the political stalemate has been President Barack Obama's healthcare law, popularly known as Obamacare. Republicans in the House of Representatives - and their allies in the Senate - have demanded the law be repealed or stripped of funding as a condition for continuing to fund the government. Major portions of the law, which passed in 2010 and has been validated by the US Supreme Court, are due to take effect on Tuesday. After the Senate vote on Monday afternoon, the chamber's Democratic majority leader blamed Republicans for the imminent halt to all non-essential government operations. "It will be a Republican government shutdown, pure and simple," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, referring to the Republicans as "bullies". "We are not going to negotiate on this. We have done everything we can to be fair and reasonable." Following Mr Reid's pledge, Republican House Speaker John Boehner told reporters the House would not pass a budget bill that did not include concessions from the Democrats regarding Mr Obama's healthcare law. In addition to the threat of a shutdown, a second fiscal deadline is approaching in the coming weeks. About 17 October, the US government will reach the limit at which it can borrow money to pay its bills, the so-called debt ceiling. House Republicans have demanded a series of policy concessions - notably on the president's health law and on financial and environmental regulations - in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. Although there were no reports that negotiations over either the budget or the debt ceiling were underway on Monday, Mr Obama said he was "not at all resigned" to a government shutdown. But he warned there could not be "any kind of meaningful negotiations under the cloud of potential default" on the government's debt. "Our currency is the reserve currency of the world," Mr Obama said after an Oval Office meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We don't mess with that. And we certainly don't allow domestic policy differences on issues that are unrelated to the budget to endanger not only our economy but the world economy." Source: Washington Post The bill the Senate rejected on Monday was passed the day before by the House of Representatives. That bill would have delayed the implementation of the healthcare law and repealed a $29bn (£17.9bn) medical device tax. Mr Obama and his fellow Democrats in the US Senate have vowed to reject any House bill that touches the health law. Some Democrats, including Mr Reid and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, have called on Mr Boehner to put the Senate bill up for a vote in the House. They say a budget bill unencumbered with a delay of the health law could pass the House with Democrats joining a small number of Republicans. If the government does shut down on 1 October, national parks and Washington's Smithsonian museums would close, pension and veterans' benefit cheques would be delayed, and visa and passport applications would go unprocessed. Programmes deemed essential, such as air traffic control and food inspections, would continue. The defence department has advised employees that uniformed members of the military will continue on normal duty, but that large numbers of civilian workers will be told to stay home. As lawmakers grapple with the impending shutdown, the 17 October deadline for extending the government's borrowing limit looms even larger. Earlier this month, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said that unless the US were allowed to extend its borrowing limit, the country would be left with about $30bn (£18.5bn) to meet its commitments, which on certain days can be as high as $60bn. A failure to raise the limit could also result in the US government defaulting on its debt payments. Washington faced a similar impasse over its debt ceiling in 2011. Republicans and the Democrats only reached a compromise on the day the government's ability to borrow money was due to run out. That fight was resolved just hours before the country could have defaulted on its debt, but nevertheless it led to ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgrading the US for the first time ever. The 2011 compromise included a series of automatic budget cuts known as the "sequester", which came into effect earlier this year. The US government has not undergone a shutdown since 1995-96, when services were suspended for a record 21 days. Republicans demanded then-President Bill Clinton agree to their version of a balanced budget. After weeks of negotiation, they reached a compromise similar to what they discussed prior to the shutdown. The head of Central Saint Martins college, where Prof Wilson was director of the prestigious MA Fashion course, said she had been "inspirational". Fashion industry figures called her a "legend" and a "genius". Prof Wilson was appointed OBE in 2008 for services to education and the fashion industry. She became course director at London's Central Saint Martins in 1992, teaching students including Christopher Kane and Roksanda Ilincic who went on to become renowned designers. Prof Jeremy Till, head of the college, said she had taught "a huge proportion of the world's leading fashion designers". He said: "Her commitment to her students and passion for creative excellence are legendary. Her deep understanding of fashion and her drive for funding for bursaries, facilities and opportunities are part of what made her such an extraordinary educator." Prof Wilson's legacy would live on through her former students and colleagues, he added. Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, wrote on Twitter: "Prof Louise Wilson, I can't believe you have gone. You were much loved and respected. A legend and an inspiration. RIP". Fashion journalist Hilary Alexander also paid tribute, saying Prof Wilson was a "genius" who would be missed. Alexandra Shulman, the UK editor of Vogue magazine, said Prof Wilson had "played a remarkable role in making the British fashion scene as successful and relevant as it is today". She added: "Her teaching and influence made a mark on so many of our leading designers. I will miss her outspoken views and her clever and often very funny observations." With Rory McIlroy and world number one Jason Day among the later starters, Spieth birdied three of the first nine holes at Augusta National. The 22-year-old American added three more on the back nine as he went through his round without a bogey. His playing partner, England's Paul Casey, stayed in touch at three under. England's Lee Westwood ended the day on a one-under 71, but it was South Africa's Ernie Els who was the talk of the course after a horrific putting display on the first green. The four-time major winner, who has twice finished second at the Masters, reached the green in three but then seven-putted from within three feet. It was the worst ever first hole score at the National, and left the 46-year-old six over as he trudged to the second tee. Rickie Fowler was another big name to endure a nightmarish start as a double bogey on the first and an eight on 13 contributed to an eight-over 80. Media playback is not supported on this device After a stellar 2015 Spieth came to Augusta in less certain form. But his remarkable record on this course - runner-up to Bubba Watson on his debut in 2014, champion in a record-equalling score a year ago - continued in good scoring conditions. The Texan birdied the 10th, 13th and 18th on the back nine, Casey moving within a shot with a birdie on the 16th before dropping back with a bogey on the par-four 17th. More to follow. Mr Rosa denied six counts of doping athletes in court in Nairobi. They include Jeptoo, who was banned for two years in 2014 after testing positive for blood-boosting drug EPO. Kenya passed emergency new anti-doping measures in May to avoid a ban on its athletes attending the Olympic Games in Rio. Mr Rosa, who is a director of Italy-based sports management company Rosa and Associati, was remanded in police custody until Monday, when the court will rule on his bail application. It will also decide whether he should be given back his passport so that he can travel with his athletes to Europe and Latin America. However the Italian has been defended by one of his athletes, Asbel Kiprop, who is the reigning 1,500m world champion. Kiprop - who has a vehement anti-doping stance - said he had worked with Mr Rosa since 2008 and never seen any evidence of doping. "What I can tell, with my own judgement, is that Federico is innocent. With due process, I think justice is going to prevail," he told the BBC in Monaco, where he is due to race on Friday. "If there was doping, they would have given me first because many times I have attempted to run the world record and I'm not getting it. They'd have given it to break the world record," he added. More than 40 Kenyan athletes have failed drugs tests since 2011. As of January 2016, 18 Kenyan athletes were suspended for doping. The best known is Rita Jeptoo, who won the Boston and Chicago marathons. Last November, former World Anti-Doping Agency president Dick Pound said it was "pretty clear that there are a lot of performance-enhancing drugs being used" in Kenya. Meanwhile, British Athletics has said it is reviewing its policy of holding winter training camps in Kenya due to allegations of widespread doping in the country. The sentence was initially passed in May, but was confirmed after consultation with Egypt's highest religious figure, the Grand Mufti. The death sentences of five other leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including its supreme guide Mohammed Badie, were also upheld. Morsi's supporters have described the sentence as "farcical". The verdict is subject to appeal. One hundred and one other defendants were also sentenced to death in absentia. Morsi escaped from Wadi Natroun prison in January 2011 and was accused of colluding with foreign militants in a plot to free Islamists during mass prison breaks. The 2011 uprising brought an end to Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule and Morsi was elected president a year later. He was deposed by the army in July 2013 following mass street protests against his rule and is already serving a 20-year jail term for ordering the arrest and torture of demonstrators. Morsi was also sentenced to life imprisonment by the same court on Tuesday for spying on behalf of foreign militant groups, including Hamas. The judge said that the Muslim Brotherhood had "collaborated with Palestinian Hamas to infiltrate Egypt's eastern borders and attack prisons", state TV reported. Sixteen other Muslim Brotherhood members were sentenced to death on charges of delivering secret documents abroad between 2005 and 2013. Only three of the other defendants are in custody, including Muslim Brotherhood leader Khairat al-Shater. Morsi was overthrown by military chief - and now president - Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and was subsequently imprisoned facing various charges. At the start of Morsi's first trial in 2013, he shouted from the dock that he was the victim of a "military coup". Since then, Morsi has been forced to sit in soundproof glass cages in courtrooms, which officials say are designed to prevent him disrupting proceedings. There had been worries over his participation after he injured a hamstring at the national trials. The six-time Olympic champion - who is the 100m and 200m world record holder - is part of a 63-strong Jamaica team. Bolt, 29, was one of four athletes to be given a medical exemption to make the squad. He has yet to prove his fitness but confirmed on Friday he would compete at the Anniversary Games in London on 22 July. Bolt sustained his injury - a grade-one tear - during the first round of the 100m in Kingston and withdrew after winning his semi-final. Zeid Raad Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, will spend four days in the country. Sri Lanka had committed to allowing foreign judges to investigate allegations against Sri Lankan forces. But President Maithripala Sirisena last month said no foreign judges would be allowed in the investigation. Sri Lankan troops are accused of killing at least 40,000 Tamil civilians in the final months of the civil war in 2009. Mr Al Hussein will travel to the former war zone and will meet victims of human rights violations. He will also talk to top government officials, civil activists and religious leaders. His follows a UN resolution last year, co-sponsored by the Sri Lankan government, that required foreign judges to assist in the investigation. Speaking to the BBC last month, President Sirisena said Sri Lanka did not need to "import" specialists. "We have more than enough specialists, experts and knowledgeable people in our country to solve our internal issues," he said. In October 2015, Sri Lanka co-sponsored a UN Human Rights Council resolution calling for a special judicial mechanism to prosecute war crimes. Both the army and the Tamil Tiger rebels are accused of atrocities in the civil war that ended in 2009. As many as 100,000 people are thought to have died in the conflict. PC Simon Reynolds, 38, was found guilty after a trial of assaulting a 27-year-old man outside a nightclub in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, in November, 2014. He was handed an eight-week suspended sentence at Swansea Magistrates' Court in September. However, on Friday, a judge quashed his conviction at Swansea Crown Court. An inquiry into PC Reynolds' conduct was launched after a referral to police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). It related to the alleged assault of a man arrested outside Bar Luna in the town centre. The IPCC confirmed PC Reynolds, who always denied any wrongdoing, was successful in his appeal. The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill was passed by MPs and peers on Monday. It allows the prime minister to notify Brussels that the UK is leaving the EU, with a two year process of exit negotiations to follow. Mrs May says she will trigger the process by the end of the month. It is unlikely to happen next week to avoid a clash with an informal summit of EU countries. The meeting will mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, which established the European Economic Community, and in turn became the European Union. Brexit Secretary David Davis said: "By the end of the month we will invoke Article 50, allowing us to start our negotiations to build a positive new partnership with our friends and neighbours in the European Union, as well as taking a step out into the world as a truly Global Britain." Trego and Lewis Gregory's (69) decisive 86-run fourth-wicket partnership helped the hosts claim a four-wicket win. Having been put in to bat, Nick Gubbins (89) and Paul Stirling (58) hit half-centuries before James Fuller's 42 off 26 balls propelled Middlesex to 296-9. However, Trego followed up his 2-27 with the ball with 104 as Somerset reached 297-6 with an over spare. An 83-run first-wicket partnership between Stirling (58) and Ryan Higgins set the platform well for Middlesex, before Trego had the latter caught at cover for 39. Gubbins went on the attack as he hit his first fifty of the tournament, clubbing four fours and three sixes in his 78-ball knock, but fell 11 runs short of three figures as he was caught at short fine leg off Tim Groenewald. It was left to Fuller, who did not bowl for the away side during the second innings, to get Middlesex just shy of 300 with both Ollie Rayner and James Harris run out off the final two balls. Somerset faltered early on, slipping to 24-2, after Jim Allenby was caught for a duck off Harris and Johann Myburgh was forced off the field with a back injury. Trego steadied the innings as the 35-year-old hit nine fours and a six, but he was bowled by Rayner with Somerset still 94 runs short of victory. However, Roelof van der Merwe bludgeoned 41 in a stand of 71 with Gregory to see the hosts in sight of victory before Josh Davey and Craig Overton took them over the line.

Kenneth Walker chatted with the fictitious teenager online, and travelled to Newcastle to meet her. However, the fake profile had been set up by the group Dark Justice, which contacted police on his arrival. The 37-year-old, from Nottingham, pleaded guilty to attempting to meet a girl following sexual grooming and was jailed for three-and-a-half years. The judge at Newcastle Crown Court also ordered him to be put on the sex offenders register for life. The court heard Walker had contacted "Roxy" on a chat website and asked her if she was "looking for a boyfriend or sex". Despite her reply that she was aged 13, almost 14, the conversation on Walker's side turned sexual, and he sent her explicit photographs. On 17 April, he travelled by coach to Newcastle, bringing a blanket, alcohol and contraceptives with him. Defence lawyer Jeff Taylor described Walker as a "very, very, very sad individual who led a solitary existence". "His communication with the outside world appears to be with a computer because he can't communicate with individuals," he said. Sentencing, Judge Jamie Hill QC told Walker: "It was said on your behalf that you're not a predatory paedophile, but when the opportunity was put your way, you seized it."

A man who thought he was meeting a girl of 13 has been jailed for a grooming offence after a vigilante group sting.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene in Dashwood Avenue, High Wycombe, at about 05:30 BST. A man from the town has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A second man has been arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police constable in the execution of his or her duty. Thames Valley Police urged anyone with any information to contact the force. The city where I was born and grew up has always occupied a special place in my heart and it's full of happy memories. My Mosul was a city of green and shady streets, with beautiful, old houses overlooking the River Tigris. It was a city of books with a famous university where my father taught and I studied. It was a place where Iraqis came for a break, to breathe its cool, fresh air and visit its world-renowned archaeological sites. I hadn't been home for more than a decade, and knew that after two brutal years of occupation by so-called Islamic State (IS), Mosul had suffered much damage. But it was still a shock to see it for real. As we drove through the streets where I played as a child, I found myself fighting back the tears. Familiar places had become almost unrecognisable. Everywhere you looked there were bullet-scarred walls and bombed-out buildings. The roads were littered with twisted metal and burned out cars. It was a heartbreaking homecoming. The main road into Mosul was full of trucks bringing in supplies, and ambulances, sirens wailing, ferrying out the sick and injured. Eastern Mosul, where I used to live, was freed from IS control in January but a fierce battle continues over the western side of the city. IS militants in the west are sending a daily barrage of mortars and armed drones to disrupt life in the east, and there are frequent suicide bombings. The peace in eastern Mosul is so fragile that we had to travel with an Iraqi army escort. My first stop was the home of my oldest friend, Kareem. We grew up together and had always kept in touch until IS occupation made it too dangerous. We drew up outside Kareem's house and suddenly there he was. We hugged each other and cried - so happy to see each other, but so sad at everything that had been lost since we last met. Over glasses, of tea Kareem told me what it had been like to live under IS. Like many in the city, he had at first welcomed the militants. It was shocking, but unsurprising to hear. In the chaos and violence of the post-Saddam era, Mosul was rife with corruption and sectarian tension. The largely Sunni local population hated the Shia-dominated central government and army who they blamed for their troubles. "We thought IS were revolutionaries here to help people and restore social justice and fairness," Kareem said. But his support was short-lived as the realities of everyday life in the "caliphate" became clear. Hope was soon replaced by fear as arrests, public executions and floggings became a daily occurrence. The militants took over houses in my and Kareem's old neighbourhood. It was such an eerie feeling for me to know that. Kareem's beloved elder brother, who worked for the Iraqi electoral commission, was detained and executed. "His last wish was to hug and kiss his five children before he died," said Kareem. "But they didn't let him." As a journalist, Kareem also feared arrest and he moved many times to keep out of sight. But there were also occasional moments of humour. We remembered another friend of ours, who kept pigeons - a popular pastime in Mosul until it was banned by IS. The friend had apparently used the birds to fly illicit supplies of cigarettes - also banned - to another friend in a different part of the city. We both laughed at the story, but I could see that Kareem was not the same person I used to know. He looked shaky and I could see fear and uncertainty in his eyes. Although he's back in his own home now, like most people he has no electricity, no water and relies on gas canisters to cook and heat water. Many people in Mosul say they won't really feel at ease until the whole city is free. "Imagine Mosul as a pair of lungs," one old man told me. "It's made up of two parts. You can't be healthy with only one." Everyone is afraid the militants will come back, and the security forces are on constant look out for sleeper cells. One morning we joined the National Security Service on a raid to arrest suspected IS collaborators. It was a surreal experience. The suspects' house turned out to be on the very same street where I lived when I was at school. As we climbed out of the police vehicle, in helmets and body armour, surrounded by heavily-armed police, an old neighbour recognised me and cheerfully waved. It was a reminder of the way violence and ordinary life co-exist in Mosul. We watched the police storm the house, grabbing the suspects in full view of terrified wives and children. They said they'd spent weeks building a case against the men. I hoped they'd got the right people. Restoring security in Mosul is a delicate business and the way the security forces behave now will determine whether they keep or lose the trust of people here. On my last day in Mosul we drove around the city and it was good to see life slowly returning. Women's dress shops and beauty salons are re-opening. Men have started wearing jeans and t-shirts again. But best of all were the schools. My visit coincided with the week when hundreds of Mosul children finally went back to school. Many had been kept at home to avoid an IS education. It was uplifting to see crowds of happy, young faces at the school gates. Excited boys and girls, with school books in backpacks, crowded around our camera. Their laughter filled the air, and for a moment, despite all the uncertainty and chaos of life in Mosul, I saw a glimpse of hope for the future. Return to Mosul is on the BBC News Channel on Saturday 1 April and Sunday 2 April at 2030 GMT, and on BBC World News on Saturday 1 April at 0030 GMT and 1730, and Sunday 2 April at 0530 GMT Invest NI commissioned the report after commercial agents warned of a "crisis". Unless this was addressed, the report said, attempts to attract overseas jobs could be hindered. The shortage is in grade A offices - new or refurbished buildings, in prime locations, with open plan layouts. Under a proposal being considered by the Department of Finance, loans for part of the development costs would be made following applications through Invest NI. The report said "very few" developers have the capital required to do projects. Low rental returns have had an impact on the viability of schemes. The report said there is "clear justification for the consideration of public sector intervention... by reducing the financial risk of development." Any intervention would be short-term and loans, probably only for up to a third of the costs, and would be repaid with interest. The money would come from a funding pot known as Financial Transactions Capital (FTC), outside Invest NI's budget and the block grant. But developers would still require other capital, either from banks or their own cash. Around 250,000 sq ft of grade A space is said to be currently available. But agents forecast demand of 1.1m sq ft over the next three years. This pressure could be added to if a reduction in corporation tax creates the jobs bonanza the Northern Ireland Executive hopes for. 12 October 2016 Last updated at 14:03 BST Dougie, who lives with its owner Margaret Hullah in Boroughbridge, has learnt several phrases including "what's up w'you" and "ello Dougie". The 11-year-old parrot also has a very apt favourite food - Yorkshire puddings. The truce announced by Syrian forces became operational in two areas an hour after midnight local time on Friday. A statement said it would last for 24 hours in Damascus and the Eastern Ghouta region outside the capital. Further air attacks have been carried out on parts of Aleppo - a key battleground in the Syrian civil war. Strikes hit rebel-held districts for a ninth day, with at least three areas reported to have been targeted, causing an unknown number of casualties. The truce is due to last for 72 hours in the northern countryside of Latakia province. There has been no explanation as to why the halt in fighting is only temporary, During Friday, rocket barrages fired by rebels were reported to have killed 15 worshippers in a government-held part of Aleppo. The Malla Khan mosque in Bab al-Faraj was hit, government officials said, causing heavy casualties. Some of the injured were in a serious condition and were likely to die, state television said. In the rebel-held east, government air strikes reportedly left at least 11 dead and destroyed a medical facility - the second to be hit in a week. Crude barrel bombs were also reported to have smashed into residential neighbourhoods as rescue workers struggled to cope with the casualties. The BBC's Jim Muir says that the partial truce is the result of high-level contacts between the Americans and Russians, who are being urged by the UN and others to shore up the collapsing cessation of hostilities which came into effect two months ago. The Syrian army says the partial truce is aimed at depriving the rebels of a pretext for hitting civilian targets and bolstering the existing ceasefire. The Americans are hoping the process can be extended to Aleppo, which the Russians are reported to have refused to include in the latest truce. More than 240 people are reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights to have been killed in the past nine days of violence there. Our correspondent say this has raised fears of a long and bitter new bout of hostilities, which would destroy any hope of a return to negotiations in Geneva. The Syrian Civil Defence force, whose volunteer emergency response workers are known as the "white helmets", said that among the sites targeted by warplanes was a clinic in the Marja area. A nurse was among several people hurt. On Wednesday night, the al-Quds Hospital in the rebel-held Sukkari district was destroyed in air strikes that US Secretary of State John Kerry said appeared to have been "deliberate". Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), which supported the hospital, said on Friday that 50 people, including six members of staff, were believed to have been killed. The aid agency has warned that government forces are preparing for a major offensive against rebel-held areas of the city. Large parts of Aleppo have been destroyed and its infrastructure has been severely damaged, leaving civilians without water and electricity for months. In an interview with the BBC, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on Syria's leaders to "go beyond their narrow personal perspectives" and call a halt to the destruction. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raad Al Hussein, said the failure of the Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court was "an example of the most shameful form of realpolitik". Russia and the US are backing opposing sides in the conflict.

He's now been taken to a wildlife centre and will be released back into the wild next year. The cyclist was among 26 individuals whose records were posted on the Fancy Bears website on Monday. The document suggests that Skinner was granted a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for the banned substance prednisolone in 2014. There is no suggestion Skinner has been involved in any wrongdoing. The 24-year-old won gold in the team sprint at the Rio Olympics - along with Jason Kenny and Philip Hindes - as well as taking silver in the individual sprint when he was beaten in the final by team-mate Kenny. The document posted on the Fancy Bears website suggests that Skinner, who has suffered from asthma since childhood, was allowed a TUE for prednisolone - an anti-inflammatory drug that is regularly prescribed for asthma - for a one-off, five-day oral course of treatment in November 2014, while he was competing at the Track World Cup in London. The TUE was authorised by the UK Anti-doping Agency and recognised by the International Cycling Union. Ingestion of prednisolone - a glucocorticosteroid - is prohibited during competition, although local, topical use or use outwith competition is not banned. According to the hacked documents, golfer Justin Rose, who won gold at the Rio Games, also had authorisation for daily doses of prednisolone between 20 May and 20 June this year. Last week, Rio 2016 gold medallists Sir Bradley Wiggins, Laura Trott and Nicola Adams, and three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome, were among those named as having TUEs. Fellow Olympic gold medallists Mo Farah and Helen Glover were among those named in the latest batch of hacked documents, which were stolen from a World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) database. A spokesman for British Cycling said: "We're proud of our strong anti-doping culture at British Cycling. "As the national governing body for the sport in Britain and a supporter of the WADA code, we condemn the publication of any individual's medical information without their permission." The top has the words "migrant", "refugee" and "outsider" crossed out while the word "traveller" stands out. Both the actress and Conde Nast were criticised over the "privileged" message, with many pointing out that being a refugee was "not a choice". Conde Nast told the BBC their intention was to highlight labelling of people. Chopra told India's NDTV news channel "I'm really apologetic about sentiments being hurt. I have always been against labels. I am very affected and feel really horrible, but the message has been misconstrued. "The magazine was very clear that they wanted to send a message about addressing xenophobia with labels." Conde Nast also put out a statement in which it stood by the cover and tried to clarify the intention behind the photograph. Explaining that it believed in a "world without borders" and "had a point to make", the statement said: "We must recognise that we are all on a journey. Whether we are moving across oceans or just a few kilometres, or in our mind's eye, into a completely different world, whether we are doing so due to free will or circumstance - we are all travellers." The magazine cover, which was tweeted out by Chopra earlier this month, almost immediately caused outrage in India, with many saying that it was inappropriate, especially in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis. "The lack of choice in removing one's home and hearth from the familiar to the alien is one fraught with heartbreak and the feeling of being cornered. "Very different from picking out the next attractive destination on your bucket list, and surfing through Airbnb for that perfect place to park oneself," read an opinion in the Huffington Post. Social media users expressed similar views. Chopra told the NDTV news channel that she was fully aware of the issues faced by refugees and was actually trying to send out a message to support them. "But it got misconstrued, and I'm sorry people saw it like that and they saw it on me," she said. The images have been taken by Colin Edwards who has been documenting the monarchy for six decades. Mr Edwards, 75, has been a "self-proclaimed royalist" since watching the Queen's coronation on television aged 12. The photos will form part of an exhibition in Ruthin to commemorate the Queen's birthday on Thursday. Her relatives contacted authorities after she disappeared from her parent's home on Sunday, the minister added. In February, local media reported that a South African had joined IS in Syria, and was trying to recruit other South Africans via social media. It was the first reported case of a South African joining the group. The 15-year-old had been taken off a British Airways flight, and had been "returned safely to her parents who are very happy" that her attempt to join IS had been thwarted, State Security Minister David Mahlobo told South Africa's privately owned eNCA news channel. Social workers would help her overcome the "damage" caused to her by IS propaganda, he added. "The girl over the past period has been actually using technology, the social platforms, interacting with strange people and reading some material that suggested that she is actually getting an interest to join the terror group," Mr Mahlobo said. US officials believe that more than 20,000 people from more than 100 countries have gone to Syria and Iraq, where IS has declared a caliphate. British officials have said that this includes at least 600 people from the UK. IS has established a presence in Africa, with militant groups in Nigeria and Libya pledging allegiance to it and carrying out bombing campaigns in its name. In February, South Africa's Daily Maverick newspaper reported that a South African, who called himself Abu Hurayra al-Afriki [The African], had travelled to Syria to join IS. He had set up now-suspended Tumblr and Twitter accounts to advise would-be jihadists on how to do the same.

A brilliant motorcyclist who dominated the top 500cc class for much of the late 1950s, Surtees moved on to cars and immediately established himself as a leading figure, winning the Formula 1 championship for Ferrari in 1964. Through the mid-1960s he was one of the towering figures in F1 along with Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and Dan Gurney. The son of a south London motorbike dealer, Surtees was a teenage prodigy on racing bikes and, after making his name in national races, he took the world championship by storm when he was given a factory MV Agusta ride in 1955. His blistering speed earned him the nickname 'figlio del vento' - son of the wind - and he won the world title in 1956 and again from 1958-60. Surtees had already made a name for himself while still competing on two wheels. He finished second in only his second Formula 1 race, the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix while driving for Lotus, and at the end of the season he switched to cars full time after winning his fourth bike title. Two years in privateer teams followed, in which he did enough to catch the eye of Enzo Ferrari, who drafted him into his team in 1963. Immediately Surtees became a major contender. Media playback is not supported on this device His first win came in his first season with Ferrari at the German Grand Prix, held at the daunting Nurburgring, and he won the title the following season in a close fight with fellow Britons Clark and Hill, who drove for Lotus and BRM. The championship went down to a remarkable decider at the final race in Mexico City. Hill went into the race as the favourite, five points ahead of Surtees and nine ahead of Clark. But Hill was delayed by a collision with Surtees' team-mate Lorenzo Bandini. Clark was then on course to win after dominating from the front, but was forced to stop on the last lap with an oil leak. Seeing the Scot's problems, Ferrari ordered Bandini to let Surtees by into second place, which gave him the title by one point from Hill. Through the mid-1960s, Surtees was one of the leading drivers of an era particularly rich in talent. His Ferrari could not compete with Clark's dominant Lotus in 1965, and despite 1966 starting well with a win in the second race of the season, Surtees walked out on the team following a row with team manager Eugenio Dragoni. Surtees was Ferrari's team leader, but Dragoni dropped him from the line-up for the Le Mans 24-hour race after a rule change demanded only two drivers per car. When Surtees asked for an explanation, Dragoni told him that he did not think he was fit enough to race for 24 hours as a result of injuries he had sustained in a serious accident in a Can-Am race in the US in late 1965. Surtees quit on the spot. The decision was perfectly understandable in the context but it almost certainly cost him a second world title, for the Ferrari was more than competitive enough in his hands to have beaten eventual winner Jack Brabham. Instead, Surtees found a temporary home at Cooper, before moving to the new factory Honda team in 1967. He won for them in Italy and finished fourth in the championship, but the team left F1 at the end of the following year, partly because of the death of Frenchman Jo Schlesser in one of their cars. Surtees had counselled against racing a new car with a body made of magnesium for lightness and an engine cooled by air rather than water because he felt it was unsafe. But the team overruled him and gave the car to Schlesser to drive at his home race. He crashed at a fast downhill right-hander after just two laps. With almost an entire race's worth of fuel onboard and made of magnesium, the car caught fire immediately and Schlesser had no chance. After two years with BRM, Surtees formed his own team in 1970, initially as a driver-cum-team boss, before retiring from full-time racing at the end of 1971 to concentrate on running the outfit. But it was not a success. After several uncompetitive seasons the team failed to find enough sponsorship to continue after 1978 and was disbanded. Surtees stayed involved in motor racing, competing in classic events for cars and bikes, and in 2005-7 was chairman of the British team in the now-defunct A1 Grand Prix series. After that, he helped guide the nascent career of his son Henry, who was killed aged 18 in an accident in a Formula Two race at Brands Hatch in 2009. In the wake of his son's death, John set up the Henry Surtees Foundation to help people recovering from brain and physical injuries return to society and to support motorsport-related educational programmes. He was widely admired as a warm character who was generous with his time, and many will echo the words of Damon Hill, who has known him well since childhood. "Such a lovely man. We have lost a true motorsport legend," said the 1996 world champion. Rye Hill Prison, in Warwickshire, had "real strengths" but must do more to stop inmates, especially younger ones, becoming victims, the report said Governor Richard Stedman said it would be "naive" to think offenders lost the ability to "manipulate" once in jail. But he said his staff were getting better at dealing with the problem. The Category B prison switched in 2014 from housing a mix of offenders to only those convicted of sex crimes. The report said it was overall "performing very well" - it was safe, with bullying generally well managed, and the cells were in good condition. It said staff "were generally aware of the particular risks associated with the sex offender population". "But there was no strategic approach to ensuring that all staff were aware of the potential for prisoner-on-prisoner sexual grooming and targeting, especially in relation to some of the younger prisoners held at the prison." Rye Hill holds some of the most dangerous sex offenders in Britain - 90% are serving sentences of 10 years or more. Mr Stedman told BBC News: "We now have a population that is much more sophisticated and able to manipulate and condition because, let's be honest, that's how they've been able to commit a lot of their offences." He said many inmates had committed offences against children, adding: "It would be really naive to think those behaviours disappear when they come into custody. "They don't have access to children so they will often focus their behaviour on staff and their peers. "I would recognise that we've had a lot of learning to do when an establishment changes in such a short period of time. It takes time to learn about those behaviours, so we're getting ever better." Healthcare services were also judged in need of improvement, with staff shortages and long waiting times for most clinics. Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Hardwick said: "This was a positive inspection and HMP Rye Hill has some real strengths. "Its purposeful activities, and offender management, both vital for this population, are better than we normally see and there is much that other prisons can learn from this. "Nevertheless, in some other areas, particularly healthcare, the prison was not meeting the needs of its population and these areas now needed to be brought up to the same standards as the rest of the prison." Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said the report showed Rye Hill was "a decent and safe prison", but staff would work hard to improve in the areas highlighted by the report. Brazilians have protested in recent weeks against the measure. The proposal comes amid a major corruption investigation at the state oil company, Petrobras. Mr Temer took office in May promising to tackle corruption, following the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. But several members of his cabinet have already resigned amid allegations of misuse of power. The left-wing opposition, still angry with the dismissal of Ms Rousseff, had promised to fight against the unpopular amnesty law. Announcing he would block the bill, Mr Temer said: "It would be impossible for a president of the Republic to sanction such a proposal." "It was necessary to listen to the voice of the street," he added. "We all agreed there isn't the slightest basis for going ahead with this proposal." The Speaker of the lower house of Congress, Rodrigo Maia, told the news conference that lawmakers would vote on the anti-corruption bill on Tuesday. But he agreed with the Speaker of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, and Mr Temer, on the need to persuade party leaders not to table the controversial amendment to the proposal, which would benefit politicians who received undeclared donations in previous elections. The opposition has also protested against legislation introducing major cuts on social spending and other programmes introduced by the governments of Dilma Rousseff and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva over the past 13 years. Mr Temer said his government had to act to control public spending and help the country pull out of recession. The slide will measure 178m (584ft) in length, 76m (249ft) in height and the descent, through transparent sections to see out, will take 40 seconds, said the park. It will open in Spring 2016 and cost around £5. Park officials said it would give a "different perspective" of the tower. Peter Tudor, at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park said: "We are committed to ensuring our visitors have the best possible day out every time they visit, and as with all our venues, we are constantly exploring ways to ensure we lead the way with the latest visitor experience." The decision was made at a Legacy Corporation Board planning meeting on Tuesday. Turner Prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor and structural designer Cecil Balmond designed the tower for the 2012 Olympics. The 21-year-old woman was attacked as she walked on the upper promenade towards the pier at about 02:00 BST on 19 October. Mani Kurian, 50, of Eridge Road, Eastbourne, has been charged with rape, and appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court earlier, police said. He is due to appear at Lewes Crown Court on 20 August. Arlene, a 15-year-old from Castlederg, County Tyrone, vanished after a night at a disco in County Donegal in 1994. Her body has never been found. Sean Heggarty, his girlfriend Donna Quinn and child killer Robert Howard were out in Bundoran with Arlene on the night she disappeared in August 1994. Mr Heggarty said that he thinks about her every day. When asked if he knew where Arlene was buried he said "Absolutely not. I wonder about Arlene every day of my life; what happened from a normal night out is unbelievable. "I can safely say I can see no difference from that particular night to any other." Mr Heggarty said in the days after Arlene disappeared, at the request of Ms Quinn - whose mother was Howard's girlfriend - he lied about being in Arlene's company. But later he told police the truth. When Howard found out, he became agitated, it was claimed. "He sounded surprised as far as I recall. He said 'you what?'" Mr Heggarty said. "He seemed very panicky, alarmed." On Monday, Mr Heggarty told the the inquest into Arlene's murder that Howard dropped him home along with Ms Quinn in the early hours of the morning and then drove off with Arlene. He said although he had heard rumours Howard had sexually assaulted a teenage girl he was not concerned for Arlene's safety. Howard died last year while serving a prison sentence for the murder of Kent teenager Hannah Williams. The Respect MP for Bradford West was posing for pictures in Notting Hill when he was assaulted on Friday night. The MP suffered "severe" bruising to his head and appears to have broken some ribs, his spokesman said. The spokesman said the attack on Mr Galloway seemed to have been prompted by the MP's views on Israel. A man has been arrested over the attack. The attacker allegedly called Mr Galloway "a Hitler" during the assault. The MP's spokesman said the assailant had made reference to the Holocaust. "George was posing for pictures with people and this guy just attacked him, leapt on him and started punching him," the spokesman said. "It appears to be connected with his comments about Israel because the guy was shouting about the Holocaust." Mr Galloway was interviewed under caution by police earlier this month over remarks he made about Israel. After Friday night's attack, the MP made a statement at Notting Hill police station before being taken to hospital for treatment. He left hospital at about 06:00 BST. He was feared to have suffered a broken jaw but the MP's spokesman said this was not the case. A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed police had been called to Golborne Road at about 19:40 on Friday after a man was assaulted in the street. On the other hand, doing only the bare minimum required by international "clean space" guidelines could significantly endanger the environment. This is the take-home from a new study led from Southampton University, UK. It urges operators to dispose of old satellites within five years. At the moment, best practice just calls for redundant hardware to come out of the sky within 25 years. There is increasing concern about the growth in space debris, or junk. Sixty years of orbital activity have littered the sky with millions of objects, ranging in size from flecks of paint to old rocket stages. These now pose a threat to current and future missions, particularly as the skies are set to get even busier. A number of companies, including OneWeb, Boeing, SpaceX and Samsung, are developing projects to launch thousands of satellites to deliver broadband and other telecoms services across the entire globe. New high-volume spacecraft manufacturing techniques and lower rocket prices are set to transform this business sector. Operators are expected to start deploying their constellations from next year, to altitudes just above 1,000km. In their modelling study, Southampton's Dr Hugh Lewis and colleagues put a "synthetic", or representative, 1,000-satellite constellation into the current orbital climate, and then simulated the possible outcomes over the next 200 years. The study showed that even with high compliance to current "rules", the number of catastrophic collisions over the period could increase by about 50% if old practices are maintained. Dr Lewis told BBC News: "What we found was that when you put the constellation satellites on to a disposal orbit, they intersect with objects below them. And if they take 25 years to pass through those lower altitudes, there is a good chance that they will have collisions with objects in the background population on the way down. But by reducing the 25 years to five years, you greatly minimise the chances of those interactions taking place." The likes of OneWeb has promised robust end-of-life clean-up of its spacecraft, adhering to the five-year suggestion, and aiming for no more than two years. OneWeb goes further by wanting to incorporate more fuel in its satellites for manoeuvring, and a grapple fixture on all platforms to enable forced removal by a servicing vehicle if normal de-orbiting were to fail for some reason. Airbus Defence and Space, which is making the spacecraft for the OneWeb constellation, was part of the Southampton-led study. Dr Lewis pointed to additional factors that would benefit the environment. These included making spacecraft smaller and lighter so that if they are involved in an impact, it will be a lower energy event that produces fewer fragments. Another key factor would be to ensure high reliability in the spacecraft by designing in multiple redundant systems. The best outcome calls for at least 95% of satellites to execute their disposal successfully. This will not happen if the satellites are prone to fail in orbit. "If we have a 95% success rate in post-mission disposal, and the lifetimes of these disposal orbits are very short, then we end up with about 40-45 catastrophic collisions (over 200 years in the general satellite population)," he explained. "In the 'reference population' (ie without a mega constellation), we get 37-38 catastrophic collisions. So, you can see how we can bring things back in terms of the impacts on the environment. But even at 85% compliance with post-mission disposal, we almost double the number of catastrophic collisions, we double the number of objects we see in the environment." The Southampton study was funded by the European Space Agency (Esa) and is being presented this week at the 7th European Conference on Space Debris in Darmstadt, Germany. Dr Holger Krag, who heads the Space Debris Office at Esa, said the mega-constellation proposals now coming from satellite operators had to improve on the industry's past performance. "Spacefarers of today already fail to implement mitigation measures to a sufficient level," he told the conference. "My office regularly monitors space surveillance data in order to form statistics on how well we behave globally. One example is for post-mission disposal to remove spacecraft (from low-Earth orbit) in order to avoid long-term presence in space after the mission. Forty percent of all missions fail to implement this today." In 1978, Dr Don Kessler, then a US space agency (Nasa) scientist, postulated a scenario in which collisions could eventually lead to a cascade of debris that made certain orbits inoperable. At the Darmstadt conference, he reported on new research that revealed more than 10% of satellites in a sizeable sample had experienced sudden, unexpected momentum changes. These, Dr Kessler said, were likely caused by the impacts of small particles - of the kind that hit the solar array of Europe’s Sentinel-1A radar satellite last year.

Three institutions run by Protestant churches or voluntary organisations will also be investigated. Chairman of the inquiry Sir Anthony Hart revealed the number on Thursday. The statutory inquiry was set up by the Northern Ireland Executive to investigate institutions run by the state and church and also those owned by the private sector or voluntary bodies from 1922 to 1995. More than 175 people have so far contacted the inquiry to outline their experiences in care, with 89 interviewed to date. A similar number are yet to be interviewed. Allegations made so far have led to the light being shone on the 35 facilities. If more victims come forward and make further claims, more institutions could be examined. To date the inquiry has identified more than 170 facilities that operated during the time period, including children's homes, orphanages, industrial schools, workhouses, borstals, hospital units and schools for children with disabilities. Pensioners in their 80s are among those who have outlined claims of childhood abuse to the inquiry. At the other end of the age spectrum, people in their 30s have also come forward and spoken to the inquiry's acknowledgement forum panel, member Norah Gibbons revealed. Older former residents of children's homes would not have been able to tell their stories if the original terms of the region's historical abuse investigation had not been redrawn last year to extend the start date of the time period covered from 1945 to 1922. Ms Gibbons, who worked on the Ryan Commission into child abuse in the Republic of Ireland, is one of four experts who make up the forum panel. They are the first point of contact for anyone who wants to relay their experiences to the inquiry. Those who come forward can limit their engagement with the inquiry to just the forum, or decide to progress and give evidence to the inquiry's lawyers in the public phase of the investigation. Four out of every five interviewed have signalled a willingness to go before an inquiry hearing. "Our role is to listen carefully and to hear what people want to tell us about their experiences," Ms Gibbons said of the acknowledgement forum. "People when they come in may be upset, may be distressed, they may find going back into their past very difficult, so our job is to make that as easy as we can for them." She said it was important that participants felt in control of what was happening. "We have spoken to a range of people covering a range of institutions and locations where institutions were, and a range of different types of institutions," she said. "So we are beginning to get, I do stress beginning to get, a picture of what perhaps life was like at different times in different places as experienced by the people who have come in." Ms Gibbons said she realised that people would find it difficult to decide whether to come forward. "Perhaps family members don't know they were ever in an institution, perhaps their workplace doesn't know and it is something that they have decided to deal with by keeping it buried," she said. "So we want to make sure that everybody who wants to come is afforded that opportunity while accepting that for some people it is not the thing that they would wish to do." She said said many abuse victims also felt embarrassed. "For some people coming forward is very difficult for a number of reasons," she said. "It is painful, it can be painful for people and for some people they are embarrassed because, although they were children and in no way to blame for anything that happened, they can carry a feeling of guilt that in some way they must have contributed to what happened and that is a huge burden for somebody to be asked to carry." The acknowledgement forum panel will eventually produce a report to inquiry chair Sir Anthony Hart detailing the various experiences recounted to them in a way that will preserve anonymity . It happened outside the Millford Grange housing development on the A283 in Storrington on Saturday morning. The woman, who lived locally, was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, where she died of her injuries. The rider of the motorbike, a 67-year-old man from Worthing, suffered minor injuries. The road was closed for several hours after the collision.

He described the massacre as "horrific", with many friends killed. Known as "Ambush Alf", he will be one of the first residents at Cysgod y Gogarth, Llandudno, when it opens, with his memories kept in a time capsule. Gunner Alf Davies of the 69th Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery was travelling in an allied convoy of three trucks when the ambush happened. He described "absolute chaos" as the SS started firing from roofs and buildings on 20 British soldiers and 30 French POWs who tried to escape through a river. Mr Davies said: "Some turned left while me and a couple of mates turned the other way and made our way down the river. "We later found out that the ones who went the other way were caught and put in a barn with a lot of other British troops. "The SS called the men out five at a time and shot them in cold blood." Most of the 50 men died, while Mr Davies and two friends escaped over fields before finding a motorbike and riding to the beaches at Dunkirk. After leaving by boat, he eventually went on to fight at El Alamein in Egypt, Tripoli in Libya, then Italy, Germany and France. He said "you can never forget" such experiences. On returning to Llandudno, he was given his nickname and worked for the council. The great grandfather's memories will be preserved by housing association Cartrefi Conwy who are building the 26 apartments. Chief executive Andrew Bowden said the time capsule will be a reminder of "the courage and sacrifice of Alf's generation". A fresh push is under way to resolve Syria's four-year conflict, leading to speculation Mr Assad could be forced out to reach a settlement. But Mr Assad said Russia and Iran did not abandon their friends. Meanwhile France has said that that the "neutralisation" of the Syrian leader was essential to ending the crisis. French President Francois Hollande said: "We must reduce the terrorist influence without maintaining Assad. The two are bound up together." Iran and Russia though have maintained he needs to be part of a political solution. The flurry of diplomatic activity on Syria has followed the recent nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers. But Mr Assad, speaking to Al-Manar, a Lebanese TV station run by his Hezbollah allies, said there was no imminent breakthrough in sight. He said a solution was only possible if the outside world stopped supporting "terrorism", a term he has used to describe both opposition activists and organised jihadist groups. The BBC Beirut correspondent, Jim Muir, says the positions spelt out by Mr Assad remain unchanged, despite the dire situation his forces face on the ground. Syria's conflict began with anti-government demonstrations in 2011, but morphed into a bloody multi-party conflict that has left more than 250,000 dead. The UN's envoy to the Syrian crisis, Staffan de Mistura, has proposed a series of consultations between key parties as a means towards formal peace talks. But in his interview Mr Assad called the UN envoy biased.

Conservative, Ms Hernandez, was elected as Devon and Cornwall's PCC on Friday. Her political opponents have said there is a "conflict of interest", but Ms Hernandez has dismissed the claims. Tudor Evans, Labour leader of Plymouth City Council, said: "She's under investigation, her Conservative colleagues are being investigated and she's a politically controlled PCC." He added that she should "absolutely" stand aside while the investigations take place. The BBC understands Devon and Cornwall Police will bring in another force to investigate the expenses allegations. A senior officer said: "Anything which could appear to be a conflict of interest has to be avoided." Adrian Sanders, the former Lib Dem MP for Torbay, who was beaten by Mr Foster in the 2015 general election, said Ms Hernandez "should stand aside" during the investigation. On Friday, it emerged eight police forces were investigating whether Conservative MPs filed election expenses illegally. The allegations centre around failing to register the accommodation costs of party activists involved in the "battle bus" operation. In a statement, Mr Foster said the "battle bus" used around the country "did not form part of his local election expenses". Ms Hernandez said: "I have not been approached by the police or other agencies about this matter. "I stand ready to assist with any enquiries that the police or any other agency wish to make." She said bringing in another force to investigate the allegations "removes any suggestion that I could ever influence police action". Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed allegations relating to electoral expenses are being investigated. A spokesman said: "The office of the Police and Crime Commissioner is aware of these issues and has put in place their own arrangements in line with national legislation. "Any criminal matter in direct relation to a PCC would routinely be referred to an independent force for investigation." Four constituencies in Devon and Cornwall are being investigated: Torbay MP Kevin Foster, MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport Oliver Colvile, MP for North Cornwall Scott Mann, and MP for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle, George Eustice. In statements, Mr Colvile and Mr Foster, said: "My election agent made a return of my election expenses as required by law. "The party's national bus tour was authorised and paid for by Conservative campaign HQ [and] was intended to promote the party's success in the general election and did not form part of my local election expenses." Declan Murray, 44, from Main Street in Strabane, crashed into an oncoming car driven by a 60-year-old child minder who had two children in her vehicle. Twelve days beforehand a consultant neurologist told him never to get behind the wheel of a vehicle again. He diagnosed Murray as an epileptic who had numerous seizures. The consultant also told Murray to inform the DVLA of his medical condition, which he did not do. Murray pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving. He committed the offence on the Victoria Road between the villages of Newbuildings and Magheramason on 29 May, 2012, after he had what he believed was an epileptic seizure. A Public Prosecution Service barrister told the judge at Londonderry Crown Court that Murray was driving his van towards Strabane when the vehicle suddenly veered across the white line. It crashed head on into an oncoming car which was being driven by the child minder who had children aged five and eight in the back seat. The two children sustained minor injuries, but the child minder suffered multiple fractures to her legs and ribs and the prosecutor said such was the severity of her injuries that she was unconscious, unresponsive and paramedics believed her life was at risk. The victim was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital where she spent the following six weeks in intensive care. She was discharged from hospital six months after the crash. The prosecution barrister said the injuries the child minder suffered were life-changing and she now needed a crutch to walk. "The injured party is present in court today to see justice done, but she says she is not here for vengeance and she is not arguing for any particular sentence", the barrister said. A defence barrister said Murray, who suffered a broken sternum in the crash, was "absolutely saddled with remorse". "He accepts he is going to jail. He accepts he caused catastrophic injuries and suffering to an entirely innocent and blameless woman," the barrister said. The judge said he would sentence Murray next week and remanded him in custody. "He is going to jail," the judge said. Organisers said it had been one of the slowest races in recent years due to light winds. The challenge, which takes place every two years, runs 608 miles (1,126 km) from Cowes on the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet lighthouse off south-west Ireland, and finishes in Plymouth. A record 356 yachts left Cowes on Sunday. Organisers said the only records likely to be broken at the finish line would be for slowness, but added boat speeds had started to pick up as conditions had become more breezy. A spokeswoman said nine vessels had already finished but an overall winner would not be announced until all the yachts had returned "over the next few days". The actual finish times of the boats are corrected to account for handicaps, based on weight and speed, meaning the first across the finish line is not necessarily the race winner. The teams are competing for the Fastnet Challenge Cup. Two-handed crew Pascal and Alexis Loison won the last race in 2013, when 336 yachts took part. The French father and son team completed the course in three days, 18 hours, 29 minutes and 57 seconds. The first race in 1925 started with seven boats, with four making it to the finish line. Will Smith and Idris Elba are among those who were snubbed by Academy voters, according to some commentators. Gil Robertson of the African-American Film Critics Association complained that it was "business as usual". Reginald Hudlin, co-producer of this year's Oscar ceremony, called the situation "frustrating". "Maybe if there's 50 great films by black film-makers, they will get three nominations," the director continued. "It's just a frustrating thing that the voting doesn't reflect what America is saying very loud and clear." One bone of contention is the Academy's failure to nominate Straight Outta Compton, a biopic of rap collective NWA, for the best picture Oscar. Its black director, F Gary Gray, was also overlooked, as were its cast members. The film did receive a single nomination, for its four white screenwriters. Creed star Michael B Jordan and his director Ryan Coogler were also left off the shortlist, though Sylvester Stallone was recognised for his work in the film. "Creed was written and directed by the black Ryan Coogler and starred a black man, but the only nominee was a white man," wrote Variety's Tim Gray. Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the Academy's first African-American president, admitted to being "disappointed" by another all-white line-up in the acting categories. "We have got to speed it up," she said of her organisation's attempts to become the "more diverse and inclusive organisation" she called for this time last year. "Why did the Oscars announce all the white nominees first?" tweeted comedian Ricky Gervais after Thursday's nominations announcement in Los Angeles. Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton, meanwhile, compared Hollywood to America's Rocky Mountains by tweeting: "The higher [yo]u climb the whiter." Homeland actor David Harewood and Booker-winning Marlon James were among others to tweet their dismay. In a post which was later removed, Harewood suggested that "all nominees [should] turn up to this year's Oscar ceremony in blackface". James, meanwhile, joked that the bear that mauls Leonardo DiCaprio's character in The Revenant "would have snagged a nomination if she were polar." Last year's lack of diversity saw the creation of the Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, resurrected this year as #OscarsStillSoWhite. Several of those using it predicted comedian Chris Rock would be sure to reference the disparity in his role as Oscar ceremony host. Charles Gant, film editor of Heat magazine, suggests the lack of diversity within the Academy's 6,000-strong membership is having a knock-on effect on the overall nomination shortlist. "The ethnic make-up of the Academy is obviously a factor in what gets recognised and celebrated, and the solution would be for a more diverse set of winners to become invited to become members, leading to a more diverse set of winners and so on," he said "But sometimes also it's a case of how the pieces fall in a given year. Straight Outta Compton, for example, is a great showcase for acting, with three appealing young leads, but maybe one single actor didn't emerge for the Academy to rally behind." In his most recent Kermode Uncut post, critic Mark Kermode bemoans the "obvious" omission of Idris Elba in the best supporting actor category for his role in African civil war drama Beasts of No Nation. "In fact, when you look at all the performance nominations, it has to be said [that] diversity isn't the word that immediately springs to mind," he goes on to say. Some eyebrows were been raised over the lack of diversity in this year's Brit nominations, which were also announced on Thursday. There were no black or Asian minority (BAME) acts among the British nominees, a shortfall pointed out by NME magazine among others. "Take a glance down the Brit nominations and for best male and best female solo artist, best group, album of the year and breakthrough act," wrote its online reporter. "You might be disappointed, but probably not surprised, to learn that they're all white." International male solo artist saw rapper Drake, Kendrick Lamar and R&B singer The Weeknd nominated. The question: Rosemary asks BBC Radio 4's PM programme "Would the UK have its fishing waters returned to the pre-EU status if we vote to leave?" Reality Check verdict: It depends on what kind of agreements the UK makes with the EU and whether it would allow foreign vessels to access its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The Common Fisheries Policy also aims to ensure that fishing and aquaculture across the EU are "environmentally, economically and socially sustainable". A 2016 House of Commons Library paper suggests that were the UK to leave the EU, the resulting status of its fishing waters would depend on whether the UK would allow access by foreign vessels to its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Outside the EU, an EEZ extends 200 nautical miles (370km) off a country's coastline, giving the state the authority to exploit and control the fish resources within this zone. The House of Commons Library notes that if the UK allowed access to foreign vessels as part of the exit negotiations, it would have to "maintain a very close working relationship with the EU to enable the monitoring of landings and to co-ordinate on wider regulation in the sector". "It would also have to agree some kind of mechanism for agreeing catch limits," it adds. When Greenland voted to leave the then European Economic Community in 1982, much of the negotiations focused on fisheries agreements. In the end, Greenland was given tariff-free access to the EEC market for fisheries products. In return, it allowed continued European access to its waters. On the other hand, the UK could decide to exclude foreign vessels and assume full responsibility for fisheries in its EEZ. In that case, the House of Commons Library says, "there would be a number of implications for the UK and the management of fisheries in the area". Read more: The facts behind claims in the EU debate Employees at Cooplands, in the Carlton Centre, Lincoln, closed the store in protest over the issue on Thursday. Store manager Katie Shipman said she was owed £1,400 and had not been paid for five weeks. A spokesman for Cooplands, which employs more than 175 people, admitted it was in arrears but said it hoped to resolve the matter within two months. Ms Shipman said: "Me and my staff were just fed up of being behind in our wages. "We started off getting 50% of our wages every week and then it was down to 25% and now we're only getting about 20% of our wages each week. "It's a nightmare because you can't plan anything." Cooplands went into administration in February last year with the loss of 303 jobs and the closure of 39 retail stores, together with the bakery and head office in Doncaster. However, 41 retail stores stayed open following a buyout by restructuring firm ReSolve. A spokesman for Cooplands said it "massively regrets" the situation and apologised for any hardship caused to any of its staff He said: "We are in arrears with paying wages. However everybody gets paid something every week and there is no suggestion that wages won't get paid. "The situation is improving as business performance improves and within two months we expect all wages to be paid up to date." The remains of 15 partial skeletons belonging to the species Homo naledi were described in 2015. They were found deep in a cave system in South Africa by a team led by Lee Berger from Wits University. In an interview, he now says the remains are probably just 200,000 to 300,000 years old. Although its anatomy shares some similarities with modern people, other anatomical features of Homo naledi hark back to humans that lived in much earlier times - some two million years ago or more. "These look like a primitive form of our own genus - Homo. It looks like it might be connected to early Homo erectus, or Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis," said Prof Berger's colleague, John Hawks, from the University of Wisconsin. Although some experts guessed that naledi could had lived relatively recently, in 2015, Prof Berger told BBC News that the remains could be up to three million years old. New dating evidence places the species in a time period where Homo naledi could have overlapped with early examples of our own kind, Homo sapiens. Prof Hawks told the BBC's Inside Science radio programme: "They're the age of Neanderthals in Europe, they're the age of Denisovans in Asia, they're the age of early modern humans in Africa. They're part of this diversity in the world that's there as our species was originating." "We have no idea what else is out there in Africa for us to find - for me that's the big message. If this lineage, which looks like it originated two million years ago was still hanging around 200,000 years ago, then maybe that's not the end of it. We haven't found the last [Homo naledi], we've found one." The naledi remains were uncovered in 2013 inside a difficult-to-access chamber within the Rising Star cave system. At the time, Prof Berger said he believed the remains had been deposited in the chamber deliberately, perhaps over generations. This idea, which would suggest that Homo naledi was capable of ritual behaviour, met with controversy because such practices are thought by some to be characteristic of human modernity. Prof Hawks says that the team has since started exploring a second chamber. "[The second] chamber has the remains of an additional three individuals, at least, including a really, really cool partial skeleton with a skull," said Prof Hawks. Researchers have already attempted to extract DNA from the remains to gain more information about naledi's place in the human evolutionary tree. However, they have not yet been successful. "[The remains] are obviously at an age where we have every reason to think there might be some chance. The cave is relatively warm compared to the cold caves in northern Europe and Asia where we have really good DNA preservation," said Prof Hawks. A study outlining the dating evidence is due for publication in coming months. Follow Paul on Twitter. For more on the Homo naledi remains, Inside Science is broadcast on Thursday 27 April at 16:30 BST on BBC Radio 4. Publisher Trinity Mirror declined to comment, but a statement is due later, with reports suggesting the New Day's final edition will be on Friday. The title was launched in February as Trinity reported a £14.4m fall in annual pre-tax profit to £67.2m. It had hoped to sell about 200,000 copies a day, but sales are reported to have fallen to about 40,000. At launch, the New Day was announced as politically neutral and its publisher said it was aimed at readers who no longer bought a newspaper. Two million copies were distributed free on launch day. It then cost 25p for the first two weeks, before rising to 50p. Its editor Alison Phillips said in February that the newspaper intended to "cover important stories in a balanced way, without telling the reader what to think". She said it would aim to give "a ruthless edit of the day" in 30 minutes for "time-poor" readers. Although the title had a social media presence, it did not have a website. It was the first new national paper since the launch of i, a slimmed-down version of the Independent, went on sale in October 2010. However, its impending closure comes just over a month after the Independent and Independent on Sunday ceased as print editions to concentrate on online publishing. By BBC media correspondent David Sillito A new type of newspaper to reach the sort of people who had given up on print - New Day was launched in February at a time when the rest of the industry is struggling with falling sales and advertising revenues. Trinity Mirror's share price has been dipping and it's also having to make large payouts to the victims of phone hacking. The New Day was always going to be a gamble - more than a million people have stopped buying a paper over the last three years. This was an attempt to coax those readers back - especially women. Its slogan was "Life is short, let's live it well". Few expected it to end quite so quickly. The troops died in "unprovoked" firing overnight in the Bhimber sector on the Line of Control (LoC). India blamed Pakistan for starting the clash. It is thought to be the Pakistani military's biggest single loss of life in Kashmir since a 2003 truce. Tensions have flared over the long-running dispute since an Indian army base was attacked in September. Both India and Pakistan accuse each other of violating the 2003 ceasefire agreement. Both sides have reported civilians and a number of soldiers being killed or injured in recent weeks, during which time the LoC has seen intense exchanges of fire. Hundreds of civilians in villages along the LoC have been evacuated. Did India really "surgically strike" Kashmir militants? Rivals trade blame as 24 are killed What is Kashmir? The teenager blinded by pellets in Indian Kashmir The territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over Muslim-majority Kashmir has been running for decades. Both nuclear-armed states claim the territory in its entirety but control only parts of it. Two of the three wars fought between the two sides since independence have been over Kashmir. After the 18 September army base attack on the Indian-administered side, the Indian military said it had carried out "surgical strikes" against suspected militants along the LoC. Pakistan called the strikes an "illusion" and denied Indian claims it was behind the militant attack. A subsequent BBC investigation found that while India did not airdrop commandos to hit militant camps or conduct ground assaults deep into Pakistani-administered territory, troops did cross the LoC a significant distance to hit border posts and then pulled back. Pakistan said two soldiers were killed in the strikes. Two more are reported to have died in cross-border firing since. 20 June 2017 Last updated at 08:42 BST Lots of birds fly into the tall buildings there so have to be rescued.

Media playback is not supported on this device United had only two shots on target but Anthony Martial's close-range finish was enough to earn three points. "We didn't play so well," Van Gaal said. "We didn't create many chances. "Everton are a very good team, much stronger away than at home, and it was a very tight game. We were the lucky team today." Manchester United have been dogged all season by criticism of their style of play - with Sunday providing the 15th occasion this season in all competitions that a match at Old Trafford has been goalless at half-time. "We want to give entertainment for the fans, but the fans were entertained today because of the tension," Van Gaal said. However, despite having the second-lowest goal total of any team in the top half of the table, United are just one point behind fourth-placed Manchester City and remain firmly in the race for the Champions League qualification places. United, who had won 1-0 at City in the previous league match on 20 March, visit Tottenham next Sunday. "If we lose today, the victory against Manchester City is worthless," Van Gaal said. "Now we are still in the race. We have a very important game against Tottenham." Never want to miss the latest Man Utd news?

It came top of a list of the most Europhile local authority areas compiled by YouGov. The Vale of Glamorgan was said to be the most Eurosceptic area of Wales, and 27th most Eurosceptic in Britain. The YouGov map reflected the views of more than 80,000 people in England, Scotland and Wales who are members of its representative public panels. The two successful candidates will be the entire population of the presently uninhabited Calf of Man - a tiny island off the Isle of Man - for nine months. In severe weather the island can be cut off from the Isle of Man for weeks with supplies delivered by boat once a week. Ian Lycett, who did the job last year, said the ornithology and estate warden positions suited "independent souls". Each warden will receive basic accommodation in a small farmhouse, where they are only allowed one shower a week. They will have to fetch their own water and use a generator to provide electricity. Mr Lycett spent nine months on the island last year and was visited by the BBC who made a 360 film about his life on the Calf. The wildlife lover, from Wolverhampton, held the position of estate warden where his role included running a small hostel and undertaking numerous practical tasks like dry stone walling and heather management. Other tasks included shepherding, bird ringing and monitoring seal, rat, and moth populations. The ornithology warden is responsible for the monitoring and ringing of the resident and migrant bird populations. About 40 species breed on the island, which is approximately one square mile in size and has been a bird observatory since 1959. Among the projects ongoing on the island is the Manx shearwater project - a plan to eradicate rats and attract back ground-nesting birds including puffins. A MNH spokeswoman said: "This is a unique opportunity to both work and live in one of Britain's most remote and beautiful locations." Applicants have until the 6 January to submit their interest. November's Magnitude 7.8 event ruptured a near-200km-long swathe of territory, shifting parts of the South Island 5m closer to the North Island. Whole blocks of ground were buckled and lifted upwards, in places by up to 8m. Subsequent investigations have found that at least 12 separate faults broke during the quake, including some that had not previously been mapped. Writing up its findings in the journal Science, an international team says the Kaikoura event, as it has become known, should prompt a rethink about how earthquakes are expected to behave in high-risk regions such as New Zealand. "What we saw was a scenario that would never have been included in our seismic hazard models," said Dr Ian Hamling from the country's geophysics research agency, GNS Science. At issue was the way the quake was able to rupture so far along its path, to produce such a big magnitude. Starting in the South Island's North Canterbury region, the crustal failure moved eastwards and northwards along the coast to Marlborough Province, before then petering out offshore. In the process, the quake managed to straddle two major fault networks. The behaviour challenged some long-accepted ideas. One of these is the notion that ruptures cannot jump large separations between individual fault segments. Five km is considered something of a limit. But in the Kaikoura event, substantially larger step-overs were recorded. How this was possible is not fully explained, says Prof Tim Wright from Leeds University, UK. "We think the main reason was some very large stress changes introduced early in the earthquake that then triggered the later segments to fail," he told the Science In Action programme on the BBC World Service. "There were also in this case some faults we didn't know about, even though New Zealand has one of the best fault maps in the world; and so some of these big jumps were facilitated by motion on faults we didn't know were there. But in many cases, there are genuine gaps of 15-20km." The team believes the exceptional nature of the Kaikoura event raises questions about how the risk of future quakes is assessed. Some of the assumptions that go into building seismic models now need to be revisited, the group argues. In terms of magnitude, only December's M7.9 event in Papua New Guinea was bigger in 2016. Given the level of shaking produced in the New Zeland quake, it is remarkable there were so few deaths ("just" two) and injuries. Hundreds of people in the town of Kaikoura itself did though have to be evacuated because landslides had cut local roads. Also astonishing was the scale of "surface expression". Giant fissures opened in the ground, highways were broken by metres-long offsets, beaches rose up from the sea, and railway lines were lifted high into the air. One of the most photographed areas was the countryside around the Papatea fault. "You can call it bonkers; it's certainly a real puzzle," said Dr Hamling. "It's a block of material of about 50 sq km that's been thrust up out of the ground by about 8m and then pushed south by 4-5m. "To try to model it in the traditional way is almost impossible; it's very hard to explain how you can get this thing to pop up in the manner that it has." To understand the complexity of the Kaikoura quake, the scientists used a range of techniques, including mapping with satellite interferometry. This works by finding the difference in "before" and "after" radar images of the Earth taken from orbit. It allows even quite subtle ground movements to be detected, including in those areas where the surface itself has not been ripped apart. The team was able to call on two different systems - the Sentinel-1 spacecraft operated by Europe, and the Alos platform owned by the Japanese. "Alos's longer radar wavelengths allow us to see through the vegetation; we can see the tree trunks rather than the leaves and they're much more stable for making deformation maps," explained Prof Wright. "However, with Sentinel's shorter wavelengths you get much more detail, which allows us to narrow down exactly where the deformation has occurred." Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos He told BBC Radio Wales it was "about the worst case of abuse and negligence I've ever come across in Wales". There was a "huge accountability gap" and "absence of responsibilities". The Welsh government has defended its health inspection regime as being "largely fit for purpose". Families who took part in a review of care at the Tawel Fan unit in Bodelwyddan described patients being treated like animals in a zoo. Mr Crabb told the Jason Mohammad programme that "very troubling questions" needed to be asked about management failings at the Betsi Cadwaladr health board, which runs NHS services in north Wales. He also said the "buck stopped" with the Welsh Labour government. "There are people in Wales who can get this right and should be getting this right," he said. Mr Crabb added, the NHS in England had learnt from the mistakes identified in the Stafford Hospital scandal and that the "same sort of culture change" should happen in Wales. Earlier, Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams said the damning report showed that Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) had failed as the "final backstop" to ensure care was "first class". A member of the assembly's Health and Social Care Committee, she told BBC's Good Morning Wales: "All the mechanisms internally within the trust, and then externally, failed to provide the warning signs and the action that the patients, and the families of those patients, needed in this particular case. "And we really now have to consider whether Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, in its current form, is fit for purpose and can provide that reassurance that we need." Dr Kate Chamberlain, chief executive of HIW, said the body "is committed to providing a robust and effective system". A Welsh government spokesman said an independent review of HIW by Wales' former older people's commissioner Ruth Marks found "its role and function is largely fit for purpose". A Green Paper looking at her recommendation of a single regulator for health and social care would be published this year, the spokesman added. The body of Italian Giulio Regeni, which showed signs of torture, was found dumped near Cairo on 3 February. His parents addressed a human rights committee in Brussels on Wednesday. They called for sanctions against Egypt which they said was not co-operating fully to solve their son's murder. The 28-year-old student had been researching trade unions, a politically sensitive subject in Egypt, when he went missing in Cairo on 25 January. His body was found by a roadside nine days later. No-one has been arrested over Mr Regeni's death, although in March Egyptian authorities claimed to have found a criminal gang responsible for his kidnapping and murder. All the gang members were killed in a shoot-out, they said. The claims have been branded "implausible" by academics who have criticised the Egyptian authorities. His parents Paola and Claudio Regeni have joined calls for the Egyptian authorities to co-operate more fully with the Italian government. In March the European Parliament passed a resolution calling on Egypt to provide the Italian authorities with information to "enable a swift, transparent and impartial joint investigation". It also condemned the "torture and assassination under suspicious circumstances of EU citizen Giulio Regeni". At a human rights sub-committee meeting on Wednesday the Regeni family called for Europe to impose sanctions on Egypt. Labour MP for Cambridge Daniel Zeichner, a supporter of the "justice for Giulio" campaign, met the student's parents in Brussels and offered his condolences from the people of Cambridge, where Giulio had lived and studied for 10 years. He described the couple as inspiring, and said: "Giulio's father Claudio outlined a range of measures he would like to see adopted, including embassies offering sanctuary to witnesses who are currently afraid to speak out." Mr Zeichner said he would raise this issue with the UK Foreign Office. "The sense I got was that Britain could be applying more pressure. There have been plenty of warm words but no action and I don't think Egypt will react to warm words. "Giulio Regeni's parents do not believe the Egyptian authorities are doing all they can or that they are co-operating," he said. "But I am left with Giulio's mother's question to both the Italian and British governments over whether Egypt can continue to be treated as a friend - 'Do friends kill each other's children?'" In April the Foreign Office condemned "the brutal manner of [Giulio Regeni's] killing" and admitted it was "disappointed by the limited progress made in the case". He has made much of the company's work in Africa and bringing down that continent's drugs bill. GSK's research capability is widely regarded as some of the best in the world. So, the pain of the allegations coming out of China must be particularly acute. The contents of the emails sent by the person (or people), known as "gskwhistleblower", to GSK alleging corruption among Chinese sales teams makes for sobering reading. What is striking is the amount of detail, with email addresses, precise drug names and internal projects all written about by someone who clearly knows the business well. Whether what they say is right, of course, is another matter. Two emails sent in January and May last year talk of "aggressive sales tactics", "bribery" and wrongful payments made to thousands of doctors. The emails offer to provide more information. Following a series of questions sent by the BBC to GSK yesterday, the company responded with its fullest account yet of what it believes has - and hasn't - happened. "The issues relating to our China business are very difficult and complicated," it said. "GSK takes all whistle-blowing allegations very seriously and actively encourages whistle-blowers to come forward if they have concerns. "Investigations into the allegations made in January 2013 about GSK's business in China were conducted over several months with the support of external legal and audit advice. "Some fraudulent behaviour relating to expense claims was identified, and this resulted in employee dismissals and further changes to our monitoring procedures in China. However, this investigation did not find evidence to substantiate the specific allegations made in the emails." The key for Sir Andrew's reputation is how he handled the allegations once they came to his attention. GSK says it used both in-country and international investigators - freeing them from the allegation that the Chinese arm of the business (accused of systematic corruption) was simply investigating itself. I understand that a report was completed by May or June 2013 that did find irregularities, but nowhere near the scale alleged in the email. The fact that Peter Humphrey, the investigator hired by GSK to look at the separate issue of a covert video recording of a senior GSK China executive, Mark Reilly, having sex, found that the allegations were "credible" does not help Sir Andrew. Mr Humphrey, who is now in detention in China, appears to have had limited access to GSK material beyond that pertinent to the tape - the existence of which was first revealed by The Sunday Times last weekend. Which raises the question - if he was investigating the sex tape which was part of the overall allegations against GSK in China, why wasn't he given the other incendiary emails earlier in the process? Mr Humphrey sent a message from prison - seen by the BBC - which says that he feels "cheated". GSK has some serious questions to answer about how it treated Mr Humphrey, who is facing trial next month, possibly in secret. It wasn't until the Chinese authorities announced their own investigation into allegations of corruption within GSK in July that the business made any public comment. Asked about this lengthy delay, GSK said: "We inform the financial markets in relation to all material matters following internal and external legal advice. We are confident we have satisfied all our disclosure requirements." So far, GSK's share price has hardly flickered since the allegations became public. Investors will be waiting to see the level of any fines the Chinese authorities might impose before voting with their wallets. And whether anything uncovered reveals wider spread issues about GSK operates. Don't forget, in 2012 GSK was fined $3bn in America for fraudulently promoting drugs for unapproved use and failing to report safety data to the Food and Drug Administration. The company insists it has radically changed its processes since then - both in America and China. And it appears that at present the board is satisfied with how GSK's executives are handling the investigation. China is a small part of GSK's global operations, accounting for about 3% of its revenues. It is well behind the other big foreign players in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical sector. Astra Zeneca and Pfizer, subject of a takeover battle earlier this year, are the leading foreign drug providers in the country. But GSK does want to keep hold of its licence. The Chinese three tier market (research and development, manufacturing and consumer) is an increasingly valuable one. Sir Andrew does not want to pull out. He must hope that the Chinese authorities' findings come quickly and do not reveal anything which the company failed to uncover. The legislation, proposed by the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, is designed to tackle the impact of "irresponsible camping". Camping is to be outlawed between Drymen and Rowardennan from 1 March to 31 October every year. The law comes into effect from 1 June 2011. Those found breaching the by-laws could be fined up to £500. The ban will be policed by park rangers and officers from Central Scotland Police. A public consultation on the plan was held by the national park last year. Of the 286 responses, 60% were in favour of the ban, the park said. The new seasonal laws make it an offence to camp in tents or other shelters in the nine-mile stretch between Drymen and Rowardennan, outside designated camping areas. But the authority has said it has no plans to ban camping in other parts of the national park, which contains 21 Munros. In a separate announcement, Scottish ministers also gave Stirling Council permission to ban people drinking alcohol in the same area as the camping ban from 1 June. Work has now started on a new "informal" campsite at Sallochy, which will be managed by the Forestry Commission Scotland. Dave Morris, the director of Ramblers Scotland, who campaigned against the by-laws, said he recognised a compromise had been made by making the ban seasonal. "We are pleased that it's not an all-year ban," he said. "But we think it would be much better if they made the by-laws apply in July and August only, so that outwith those months we could have seen what the difference was." He said Ramblers Scotland would monitor the situation closely, adding: "Part of our reservations are fears that they would push for by-laws elsewhere. We would oppose such proposals." But national park chief executive Fiona Logan said she did not believe there were any other areas of the park where similar bans would be "appropriate". "We really want responsible people to come to the park and enjoy themselves," she said. "This is about tackling anti-social behaviour and not penalising West Highland Way walkers or those people with a backpack on." Ms Logan said the measures had been welcomed by local residents who had complained for many years about informal camping on the Lochside. But she told BBC Scotland that the by-laws were not permanent and could be revoked if the park was confident the problems had been successfully tackled. "We would like not to have these laws in three years," she said. Environment Minister Roseanna Cunningham said east Loch Lomond had come under "increasing pressure" from litter, camp fires and anti-social behaviour. "These measures are designed to protect and preserve the beauty of the area whilst still providing access for responsible campers," she said. The by-laws will be reviewed after three years. Named under privacy laws as Michael P, 40, he admitted making a signalling error and then dialling the wrong emergency number. His lawyer said he also admitted playing on his mobile at the time. Michael P told survivors that he was aware he had "burdened himself with huge guilt". "I would like you to know that my thoughts are with you," he added, in a statement read by lawyers. Those who died in the crash at Bad Aibling on 9 February were all men aged between 24 and 59. Another 89 passengers were injured. Prosecutors said Michael P had been playing the fantasy game "Dungeon Hunter 5" on his phone when he allowed the two trains on to a single-track line. The court heard from one police official that the controller had regularly played on his smart phone while on shift, even though it was banned. Analysis of his phone records showed that his mobile use often corresponded with his working hours. "He played almost every time," the official said, according to Germany's DPA news agency. Although the line has a safety mechanism, prosecutors say the controller mistakenly disabled it, sending two commuter trains towards each other. When he tried to warn the train drivers, he then pressed the wrong alarm button, they say. Michael P is accused of involuntary manslaughter and faces five years in jail if found guilty. Some of the injured as well as the relatives of those who died were present when the defendant entered the court, wearing a hood to cover his face. A lawyer representing some of the families described the confession given to the court as a tactical move, because what he had admitted was already proven. "The really burning question remains unanswered," said Peter Duerr; how intensively had he been playing with his mobile phone at the time, and to what extent had he been distracted? Although investigators did look into the role of the controller at the time of the disaster, it was only when they sifted through his phone data that he was fully investigated. The record figure is eight times more than what was recovered over the previous decade, the Justice Ministry has reportedly said. Officials say their policy of negotiating plea bargains with suspects has helped them recover assets. Much of the money had been diverted from the state oil company Petrobras. Dozens of executives and politicians have been arrested or are under investigation on suspicion of overcharging contracts with the company as part of an inquiry known as Operation Car Wash. Part of the diverted money, authorities say, had been used to pay for bribes and electoral campaigns. It is believed the scheme had cost Petrobras $2bn (£1.2bn). By contrast, between 2005 and 2014, Brazilian officials managed to recover $15m (£10m), newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported (in Portuguese). From the amount repatriated in 2015, $95m (£66m) was linked to the Car Wash investigation. The money had been diverted to Switzerland and returned to Brazil, the report said, adding that most of it was expected to be returned to Petrobras. The party, which was formed six months ago, said it would field candidates in elections starting next Spring. Leader Sophie Walker said Parliament could have equal representation of men and women within a decade if parties prioritised women in safe seats. She attacked other parties for thinking they could "dole out" equality. The party, the brainchild of broadcaster Sandi Toksvig and journalist Catherine Mayer, says it is prepared to work with other parties to secure genuine equality in society but has challenged David Cameron "to put us out of business" by implementing all of its ideas. At a policy launch in London, Ms Walker, herself a former journalist, said many of the problems facing women were a product of the fact they were not "equal decision makers", whether in politics, business or other areas of public life.. "We have made some progress but the path to shared power is taking too long to pave," she said. "So we have concluded that as a temporary measure quotas are necessary." It was lamentable, she said, that women still made up less than a third of the Commons - 191 of the UK's 650 MPs. "We will put Parliament into special measures for two elections. Political parties should field women in two thirds of seats, including two thirds of safe seats. We can have a 50:50 Parliament in a decade." She also called for 75% of new peers to be women and for all publicly listed companies to have a 50:50 gender ratio on their boards and executive committees by 2025. The party has called for action to tackle the "exorbitant" cost of childcare, which it says is stopping at least 600,000 women from either returning to the workplace or working the full hours they want to. It has called for government-subsidised childcare to be available to all parents at the end of their parental leave, a £6.5bn commitment it says could be paid for by introducing a single rate of tax relief on pensions. "We want women to realise their potential and we want to do that by providing a system of childcare that does not cost the earth and does not have to be waited for," Ms Walker told party supporters. Among its other priorities are to challenge gender stereotyping in schools, to tackle discrimination against older women, to increase the rate of prosecutions for domestic violence and to make the purchase of sex a criminal offence. "Our country has a gendered culture where men are seen as entitled to dominate and the media portrays women as sex objects," she said. "The acts of everyday sexism that permeate our culture must not be trivialised, they must be challenged and they must be defeated." Ahead of Tuesday's launch, the party released a report suggesting women earned £245bn less than men each year in the UK. Ms Walker accused the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems of treating equality as a political football, saying it "seems to me that they are more interested in claiming the right to deliver equality than actually deliver it". Inside the offices of Mr Bushnell's latest start-up - Brainrush - a handful of young men are eagerly banging away on keyboards late on a Saturday afternoon. Ego doesn't seem to be much in evidence here - at least yet. While the firm, which was created in 2010, has grand ambitions to transform US education via games, Mr Bushnell remains best-known as the man behind a very different gaming enterprise - Atari. Now 72, he co-founded Atari, one of the world's first video game companies, back in 1972. It introduced the concept of personal computing, albeit in game form, to millions of households around the world. Mr Bushnell is also the man who was initially behind Chuck E Cheese's, the ubiquitous pizza and gaming restaurant chain that has been the site of many a US child's birthday party (this author included). But despite all of those early successes - and actually, partly as a result of them - the crumbling office that Mr Bushnell now finds himself in is no deliberately shabby-chic LA decision. After his breakout success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Mr Bushnell made several missteps that eventually led to some entrepreneurial failures and financial ruin. "When I was 35, I was insufferable. I thought I could do no wrong and I got really sloppy," he says. Now, Mr Bushnell has a habit of referring to his own entrepreneurial journey as if it were a never-developed Atari game. Mr Bushnell has been a serial entrepreneur from a young age. He founded a television tube repair business as a teenager that was successful partly because he took advantage of his older customers' penchant to underestimate his technical prowess by undercharging them for his services - but overcharging them for parts. Later, he worked at amusement parks while putting himself through university to get an electrical engineering degree. He chalks the creation of Atari up to a bit of good luck: "I was probably the only electrical engineer that understood television, and understood the coin-operated game business [from the amusement park] in 1969," he says. By combining the popularity of arcade games as well as the nascent personal computer industry, Mr Bushnell and his partner Ted Dabney found success with games such as Pong, Asteroids, and Centipede, which were played, initially, on the Atari 2600 console. And unlike today's efforts - in which blood and gore in games is both the norm and a scourge - Mr Bushnell said the company believed firmly that it could be successful without resorting to murder. "We felt that, you could blow up a tank, you could blow up a plane, but we didn't want violence against a human being," he says. Mr Bushnell also emphasises that the popularity of Atari's games was primarily due to his ability to find and hire talented, creative workers, including one you may have heard of - Steve Jobs. "I've always valued passionate employees over anything else, and, it turns out that there's a huge percentage of the population that are actually dead - they don't know it, but, in terms of their processes, they're just waiting to be buried," says Mr Bushnell. But Mr Jobs, like a lot of his earlier employees, had passion and as a result, "was an extremely hard worker". "He would sleep under his desk at night, and wake up in the morning ready to go," Mr Bushnell remembers. That unfortunately did come with a bit of a downside: "I think part of the reason [Steve] smelled bad was 'cause he wouldn't necessarily go home every day." When Mr Bushnell decided to sell Atari to Warner Brothers in 1976 for an estimated $30m (£19m), (a move intended to expand the firm's offerings, but one Mr Bushnell says he now regrets), he carved yet another path, becoming the first of a still-growing list of 20-something Silicon Valley millionaires. "I want Jobs and [Bill] Gates and [Mark] Zuckerberg and all of these guys to thank me for blazing some of [those trails], because it was much easier once there were several notable successes from [people] in their twenties," he says. But with that success came hubris. By the mid 1980s, both Chuck E Cheese and Atari had basically imploded - as had Mr Bushnell's fortunes. Later efforts, including uWink, an entertainment complex featuring food and games as well as robotic assistants, failed to take off. But Mr Bushnell remains undeterred, and says he still thinks he has another successful effort in him. He says he's taken inspiration from his children - some of whom have eschewed university in order to immediately start their own entrepreneurial endeavours. "How many companies have you started by the time you're 18? If the answer's zero, I wouldn't invest in you," he says of their entrepreneurial verve. He thinks that biotechnology and virtual reality will be game changers - in addition to his efforts to revolutionise schooling in the US by capitalising on research into cutting edge brain science in order to both personalise education and to make courses more adaptable. He basically wants to make education as addictive as Atari's old video games. "An interesting life can't be all violins and flowers," he says. "When you lose a game of chess, you don't go and jump off a bridge, you reset the pieces and do it again. "It's a game!" They relate to nine residents at the Brithdir Care Home, near Bargoed, between 2004 and 2006. They include failing to prevent pressure sores and delays in seeking advice about an infected feeding tube. A Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) panel is yet to decide whether the nurses will face sanctions. Rachel Tanta, Rachel Pritchard, Tembakazi Moyana, Beverley Mock, Daphne Richards and Susan Greening had been accused of more than 150 failings. Other failings found proved at a hearing on Friday included failing to keep adequate records, failing to set up care plans and failing to ensure a resident was prescribed antibiotics for pressure sore when a GP said they were necessary. There was also no record made of a resident vomiting and no contact made with a dietician in relation to it, the panel found. A total of 18 failings were proved against Ms Tanta, a registered nurse. Five were proved against Ms Mock. Twelve were proved against Ms Pritchard in her roles as clinical nurse manager and later nurse director. Twenty eight were proved against mental health nurse, Miss Moyana. Fourteen were found proved against against Ms Richards in her roles as registered nurse, acting manager and later bank nurse. There were also nine proved against Ms Greening, who was a registered nurse and later care home manager. A further hearing, on a date yet to determined, will be required before the disciplinary panel can decide whether the failings in each nurse's case amount to misconduct and whether their individual fitness to practise is impaired. Any sanctions they face will then be fixed. Last year, an NMC panel found seven misconduct charges proved against Christine Hayes, the director of nursing at the Caerphilly Local Health Board between 2003 and 2006. She was found to have kept moving people to the home despite knowing of serious concerns over standards, and was struck off in January, this year. Concerns were raised about Mrs Hayes' actions during a major investigation by Gwent Police into allegations of neglect in care homes, called Operation Jasmine. The £11.6m police inquiry collapsed when the former owner of the Brithdir home, Dr Prana Das, was declared unfit to stand trial as a result of a brain injury suffered in a violent burglary. The home - which has 40 residents with dementia, mental infirmity and learning difficulties - is now under new management. The man told a court he awoke in his tent to find Mr Talbot making a sexual advance during a school trip to southern Scotland in the early 1980s. He told a jury he found Mr Talbot, then a teacher at his school, stroking his hand in a sexual way. Mr Talbot, 67, of Greater Manchester, denies assaulting several boys on school trips between 1978 and 1981. He also denies a further charge of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards a boy aged 12. Six of the incidents are alleged to have happened on camping excursions in Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway, and three on boating trips on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness. The 51-year-old witness, who now lives in Australia, was giving evidence on the third day of the trial at Lanark Sheriff Court. He said Mr Talbot was a biology teacher at the school in the Manchester area where he was a pupil. He said he went on a camping trip to the St Mary's Loch area in the Borders in the 1980s, which was led by Mr Talbot. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told how the group put up their tents and then went to a pub. The witness, who was 15 at the time, said he had three or four pints of shandy and beer, and became "merry". When they got back to the camping area, he went to his two-man tent, in which Mr Talbot and another pupil were also due to be spending the night. "I think I had been asleep and then I was aware that my hand was being stroked in the tent," the witness said. "The only person who could be doing that was Mr Talbot next to me. "I can recall (doing) something to the effect of pulling my hand away and rolling over and saying 'I don't understand you'," he said. He told depute fiscal Imran Bashir the stroking was in a "sexual way" and added: "My feeling at the time was it was a sexual advance." The witness said he felt "pretty embarrassed" about what had happened, adding: "I think I felt I'd been very naive about what other people had said about him, that there was actually some truth in it, it wasn't just rumour." He said he did not report the incident at the time because it would have been "my word against his". Mr Talbot's media career later developed and he left the school, jurors heard. "I remember thinking it was a good thing that he'd taken himself out of the place where he was tempted into doing things that were inappropriate," the man said. Alan Gravelle, defending, asked whether school gossip about Mr Talbot had influenced his perception of what happened. "I would say 'no'," the witness replied. Mr Gravelle also suggested any contact may have been inadvertent and accidental. "There's nothing in my mind that would concur with that," the man added. The trial continues. The Freedom 90 had been en route from Ryde to Southsea on Saturday evening when the "major fault" occurred, forcing it to return to the island. Images appear to show a red rudder hanging off the back of the craft. Operator Hovertravel cancelled all services on both of its vessels while safety checks were carried out. Its unaffected craft resumed service at 16:15 on Sunday on a revised timetable. The damaged vessel is due to be moved to Woolston in Southampton for repair work. A spokesman said: "An initial investigation into the propeller damage on Freedom 90 indicates that a foreign object caused the propeller blades to break. "Freedom 90 will be moved to Woolston for repair work and will return in approximately three weeks." Hovertravel said all passengers and crew disembarked safely after the incident and there were no reported injuries. It apologised to customers affected by the service cancellations. Bugatti's Veyron supercar was considered an auto-engineering masterpiece; not just carmaking, but science. Then someone at Bugatti's owner Volkswagen decided that they should try to do better. The result is the Chiron, unveiled at this week's Geneva Motor Show to the sort of adulation and hyperbole that greeted its predecessor 10 years ago. While environmentalists weep, petrolheads rejoice - the world now has a new fastest production car. "The challenge was to be better than the previous car in every dimension," company president Wolfgang Durheimer tells the BBC. At €2.4m (£1.86m; $2.6m) each - plus taxes and delivery - the Chiron is nearly twice the price of the Veyron. "My brief for this car was the shortest I ever had in my career. It was four words: Just do the best," he says. With 1,500 horsepower and a top speed of 261mph (420km/h) the Chiron is 3mph faster than the Veyron. The Chiron, though, has a speed limiter. Without it, it could reach 285-287mph, Bugatti says. The car can do 0-62mph in fractionally under 2.5 seconds, although there is no official figure yet as more speed tests are planned. The car is lighter, but also wider and longer - only by millimetres, but that's a radical change in size for a design engineer trying to maximise performance. "The engine is more lightweight than the Veyron. But it has more power. And I don't mean just a little bit more power," says Mr Durheimer. "We increased the engine by 300 horsepower. This is the power of a standard road car. We achieved that order of increase." Like the Veyron, the Chiron has an eight-litre W16 engine - four banks of four cylinders - but has received a power boost of 25% compared with its predecessor. But this 25% increase in power doesn't translate into a 25% increase in speed. This is because at very high speeds wind resistance increases significantly, explains Professor Will Stewart of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. "To go twice as fast you need eight times the power," he says. So greater use of lightweight titanium and carbon fibre materials helped increase the Chiron's power-to-weight ratio. "I think that every single component on the car was re-developed or considered for re-development," says Mr Durheimer. The single biggest challenge was how to package all that power and technology into something that also looked like a Bugatti and was comfortable to drive, says Mr Durheimer. "A supercar is basically flat on the bottom and curved on top, so air going over the top goes faster, creating lift - the Bernoulli effect," says Prof Stewart. "But you don't want lift, so you put a big aerofoil on the back to keep the car on the road. But that creates drag - the enemy of speed." So to meet these challenges, Bugatti has created an all-new chassis suspension system, which adjusts depending on the driving conditions. There are five modes, working in tandem with various aero-stability features - flaps, spoilers, diffusers - all designed to makes the Chiron glide through the air more efficiently and cool the engine and brakes. Even the rear spoiler is dynamic, automatically adjusting its position to suit the driving conditions. The car also needed a new cooling system to dissipate the extra engine heat. The Chiron has 10 radiators, and pumps that circulate 60,000 litres of air and 800 litres of water through the engine each minute. If one feature gets too much "freedom" the final product becomes unbalanced, says Mr Durheimer. And yet, "if you want to be the best, you also cannot compromise." The Chiron's greater power and speed meant building a new braking system. The front and rear brake discs are now 20mm larger and 2mm thicker. But, being made of carbon-silicon material, they weigh less. The discs are gripped by lighter titanium piston callipers, eight at the front and six at the rear. And the tyres had to be redeveloped, too "It was another big challenge. All the energy performance connects to the road through the tyres. We knew that if we wanted to go faster we needed a completely new tyre," Mr Durheimer says. Michelin, which had pushed the boundaries of tyre technology for the Veyron, was brought in to work on the Chiron. Neither Michelin, nor any carmaker, had facilities to put the tyres through the necessary endurance and safety tests. "We had to use aircraft test benches to monitor performance," Mr Durheimer says. The result is a tyre 14% wider at the front, and 12% at the back, offering better braking, acceleration and wet-weather grip. After VW's diesel emissions scandal last year and subsequent cost-cutting, there were reports that the Chiron project might be canned. But Mr Durheimer says this was never on the cards, especially as "dieselgate" broke when the Chiron's development was already far down the line. Even so, he had to draw up a business plan showing that the Chiron, based on sales capped at 500, would make a profit - unlike, it is widely reported, the Veyron. "A serious business does not sack a project that is going to make a positive overall contribution to the business," he says. Prior to the Geneva show, 170 Chirons had been sold, with the first batch due to be delivered this autumn. Several are delivered at a time, so no one can claim "I was the first". But where can these mega-rich owners legally and safely test such a car to its limits? "There's nothing theoretically difficult about going faster," says Prof Stewart, "but it's our ability to control a vehicle at those speeds that is the issue. In an emergency, it might be better to hand over control to an onboard computer." But for the the auto-engineer, the joy is having the freedom to push the boundaries, Mr Durheimer says. "It is part of human nature to cross boundaries and set new records… to fly even further into space and to enter new realms. "The Chiron is the result of our efforts to make the best even better."

Reading goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi saved a first-half penalty from Rajiv van La Parra to keep the scores level. But home pressure told late on, with the Royals now four points behind Town. Wins for Brighton on Saturday and Newcastle on Monday meant a draw would have seen both sides lose ground on the top two, and they appeared mindful of that in an entertaining and open first period. The Terriers, who have now won 11 of their past 13 league matches, created the best chance when Izzy Brown was felled by Liam Moore, but Van La Parra's spot-kick was well saved. Nahki Wells and Elias Kachunga also wasted good opportunities for the hosts. Reading's best chance saw a Roy Beerens shot brilliantly pushed onto the bar by Danny Ward, who also made a couple of smart close-range stops to preserve his clean sheet. Huddersfield boss David Wagner: "We have only had one penalty this season and we are not used to it! "What concerned me was after we missed the penalty our body language was not good and for 10 minutes Reading were on top and Danny Ward kept us in it. "We spoke about it at half-time and I told the players they could still go out and win it in the second half. "Both teams had good chances but we had more and that's why we deserved the three points." Reading boss Jaap Stam: "I am very proud of what we have done. It's disappointing that we did not get at least a point. "All the teams in the top six are playing each other and if we can keep winning we will get there. "We have played against a good side in Huddersfield and there is not a lot of difference between two teams who want to play good football." Match ends, Huddersfield Town 1, Reading 0.

A Tigers side shorn of their World Cup stars lie 11th in the Premiership, having lost five of their six games. Cockerill told BBC East Midlands Today. "We are one win from seven [in total] and I am very aware of it. "I go to bed with that thought and wake up with that thought but there comes a point where enough is enough. All I am interested in now is how people react." Although Friday's LV= Cup tie against Gloucester would normally see a mixture of fringe and young inexperienced players in the line-up, many of Leicester's international stars are set to feature. But Cockerill said his big-name players were desperate to get stuck back into the domestic schedule. "They are glad to be back and some of them have had a more difficult time than others," he added. "But when you have been away from home for a long time you feel more at ease. "Those guys feel a little bit indebted to the club, we've got them to Test-match rugby. Clearly we have suffered a little bit because of that and they want to come back and help us out of the situation we are in." And while former England international Cockerill knows his side's predicament is in no small way down to the international call-ups and injury problems at Welford Road, he feels it's time to move on. "I understand it and know the ins and outs and you have to realistic," he said. "It's hard and we have to all stick together and show our true colours. "It will come round. We have to believe in what we do. I believe in the people who work for us and play for us. "We have to keep our bottle and not throw everything away that's been so good for the last few years. "We can still be in the top four and do very well in Europe this year." Tigers forward Tom Croft insists helping the club get back to winning ways will not take much. "The boys coming back are not knights in shining armour. The side that was there was perfectly capable," Croft told BBC East Midlands Today. "The majority of games we have lost we have been in the game in the last minutes so the talent is there, it's just closing out those games and scoring in the attack zones when we get there. "The boys coming back will bring a bit of new life and excitement around the club. "The boys were saying there is renewed buzz and that is a great thing to have at this time of year. "Gloucester on Friday is a massive game just to kick-start our season and make a statement to rest of the clubs that Leicester Tigers are not a club that will roll over and we will fight to get back on track." Barra McGrory QC says he is mystified by claims that he did not act impartially when he brought charges against a small number of ex-soldiers. They are facing prosecution over killings during the Troubles. A number of unionist and Conservative MPs have claimed cases involving the army are being unfairly prioritised. "That is just not correct, that is inaccurate," Mr McGrory told the BBC. "We have taken decisions in three army cases recently, one was not to prosecute and in the other two prosecutions have been initiated. "In the overall context of what we do these are a tiny number of cases. We receive 40,000 files a year, we take over 2,000 cases a year to the Crown court, and we are talking here about three cases. "Even in terms of legacy cases, the reality is that we have prosecuted more legacy cases connected with paramilitary cases than we have in respect of military cases." Mr McGrory says a number of cases involving former soldiers were coming to court now because of inquests and referrals from the Attorney General for Northern Ireland. He rejects suggestions by some MPs and national newspapers that he cannot be impartial when making decisions about army cases because of his previous career as a solicitor, when clients included Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and other senior republicans. "Mystified is about the mildest way I can put it," he responded. "Anyone who is informed about these matters would know that as a professional lawyer you represent anyone who seeks representation from you. "I have been a professional lawyer for 30 years, during which period I have represented loyalist paramilitaries, republican paramilitaries, members of the DUP, the Official Unionist Party, members of Sinn Féin. "I have represented a broad cross-section of people, so who I have represented in the past really has got nothing to do with it." Some politicians have suggested the government should introduce emergency legislation to prevent the prosecution of former soldiers for Troubles-related killings. A London-based law firm representing a number of ex-members of the army has also called for an independent inquiry into the decision making process. I asked Mr McGrory if he viewed the criticism as an attempt to influence his decision making and to put pressure on him not to prosecute former soldiers. "If they are not trying to influence me then they are certainly being personally insulting, and they are questioning my integrity," he says. "But what concerns me more about that is that it is insulting to this office and to the lawyers who work here and do their work day and daily with absolute integrity and to the best of their ability. "So I am personally offended by the remarks, but I am more offended on behalf of the individuals who work for the public prosecution service and who do a fantastic job, so I think those who are making those comments ought to think a bit carefully before they speak in such a way." Critics have also questioned how the director of the PPS could decide to charge former soldiers when one of his predecessors said there was insufficient evidence to merit a prosecution. They have suggested Mr McGrory reached a different conclusion based on the same evidence. "That's just inaccurate," he says. "In each of the three soldier cases this office has examined, there has been new evidence. "Whether that be evidence which has been forthcoming following an inquest and referred to me by the coroner, pursuant to the powers available to the coroners, or new evidence obtained by the PSNI in the context of its investigations, or in any other context through ballistics or forensic evidence which has emerged through a variety of routes since the original decision was taken. "Anyone who has said this is a re-taking of a decision in respect of which nothing else has changed is quite simply wrong." She will leave the AOL-owned site to run a new venture, Thrive Global, she said on her Twitter feed. "I thought HuffPost would be my last act. But I've decided to step down as HuffPost's editor-in-chief to run my new venture, Thrive Global," she said. Thrive Global is described as a project designed to combat workplace "burnout". In a media release, Ms Huffington, 66, says it is "a corporate and consumer well-being and productivity platform". Profile: Arianna Huffington Across all nine international Huffington Post sites, there are 81m monthly unique visitors. It launched its UK edition in 2011. Tim Armstrong, AOL chief executive, said that thanks to Arianna, the Huffington Post was a "firmly established and celebrated news source".  The Huffington Post was launched on 9 May, 2005, pulling together liberal-leaning news reports, and as an alternative to conservative news aggregators such as the Drudge Report. She launched the site with the American businessman Kenneth Lerer and other investors. The site offers news, blogs, and original features, and covers politics, lifestyle, and entertainment. "The journey of the last 11 years has exceeded my wildest expectations," Ms Huffington said, referring to the HuffPost, as it is also known. "When I decided to create Thrive Global, I thought it would be possible to build a start-up and continue as editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post. Today, it's clear that was an illusion," she added. "As Thrive Global moved from an idea to a reality, with investors, staff, and offices, it became clear to me that I simply couldn't do justice to both companies. Change is desperately needed if another generation is to avoid the burnout that all too often comes with success today." Arianna Huffington was born Arianna Stassinopoulos in Athens in 1950. She left her native country to study economics at Cambridge University, where she became president of the Cambridge Union. She moved to America and in 1986 married Texas oil billionaire Michael Huffington. She played a major role in his election to the US House of Representatives in 1992 as a Republican candidate and in his failed bid for a Senate seat two years later. By this point, Ms Huffington had made a name in her own right as a figure in the Republican establishment and a key supporter of Newt Gingrich and other right-wing figures. But she left the party in 1996, and divorced her husband the following year, as she moved on a journey to the left. In 2011, AOL acquired The Huffington Post for $315m, and made her president and editor-in-chief. The double-decker and Vauxhall Insignia collided on Petersburn Road, near Dunrobin Primary, Airdrie, at 08:40. The pupils, from Caldervale High School, and a four-year-old girl who was in the car, were taken to Monklands and Wishaw Hospitals as a precaution. The 65-year-old bus driver and the 30-year-old car driver, both men, were not injured in the collision. It is thought that the 17 school pupils were being treated for minor injuries. There were no details of any injuries to the four-year-old girl. Petersburn Road remains closed while police investigate the crash. It is understood that the bus carrying the pupils was travelling from the Chapelhall area. Leaders need to decide how the UK will work with other EU countries in the future, and how things like trade and immigration will work. As part of these discussions, a place called Gibraltar is being talked about. Read on to find out more about Gibraltar and why it is significant in politicians' conversations about Brexit. Gibraltar is a place in Europe, on the south coast of Spain. Even though it is on land joined to Spain, it is part of Britain. This means it is what is called a British overseas territory. It has someone called a chief minister who is responsible for governing it and deciding how things like tax will work. The UK government is in charge of how Gibraltar deals with other countries and how it is defended. Even though it is quite small, it is an important place. There is a military base there, as well as a port and an airstrip. Gibraltar is being talked about because - as part of Britain - Brexit (when Britain exits the EU) is going to affect it. Gibraltar has been ruled by Britain for just over 300 years. Spain and Britain have argued for many years about who Gibraltar should belong to. This is called a row about sovereignty - this means an argument about which country should be in charge of a place. There was a vote in 2002 about whether or not Britain and Spain should share Gibraltar. But almost everyone (99% of people living in Gibraltar) said they didn't want that to happen, so Gibraltar remains a part of Britain. Its chief minister Fabian Picardo has said: "Gibraltar belongs to the Gibraltarians and we want to stay British." So now that the UK is leaving the EU, this means that Gibraltar will no longer be a part of the EU either. Discussions need to take place about what relationship Gibraltar will have with other EU countries, like Spain, which it is right next to. One of the main issues that will affect Gibraltar is about its border, which it shares with Spain. The EU has also just said that Brexit decisions affecting Gibraltar would be run past the Spanish government. The UK doesn't agree with Spain having the final say. So the relationship between the UK, Spain, Gibraltar and the EU is making the headlines. We do not know yet. The EU has said that the Spanish government would be consulted about Brexit decisions around Gibraltar. But the UK government doesn't think Spain should have a say, because Britain is in charge of what happens with Gibraltar. Even though people in Gibraltar voted strongly to stay in the EU in 2016, they voted strongly to carry on being part of the UK in 2002. The UK government has said it will protect Gibraltar and work closely with it to make sure it gets the best possible outcome from Brexit. The Prime Minister Theresa May has also said that discussions about who Gibraltar belongs to will not be part of the Brexit conversations. Its big internal lab has detected nitric oxide (NO) - oxidised nitrogen - as it analysed dust and rock samples. The compound was very likely released from the breakdown of nitrates during the heating of the powders. If nitrates are the source, it would add to the evidence that the planet had the conditions necessary to sustain life in its distant past. Nitrogen is essential for all known forms of life, but it needs to be in the right form to be useful. On Earth, specialist soil microbes "fix" the not-so-useful nitrogen in the atmosphere into nitrate (NO3) - a nitrogen atom bound to three oxygen atoms - which can then be processed by other biological systems. There is no evidence that the nitrates suggested in the Curiosity lab experiments were produced in this exact same way. A more probable scenario, say rover scientists, is that the nitrates resulted from other conversion processes that involve lightning and meteorite strikes The team saw the signs of the nitrates in scooped samples of surface dust and in samples drilled from mudstones. These mudstones have already demonstrated that the ancient crater in which Curiosity sits had rivers and lakes, with water and a chemistry that would have been habitable. Last week, rover scientists reported the possible detection of a fatty acid in the robot's drilled samples. Fatty acids are key components of the cell membranes found in all life forms. But again - just as with the nitrates - there are non-biological routes to their production. Of itself, a detection proves nothing. The nitric oxide result is reported by Jennifer Stern and colleagues in this week's edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Anthony Culley, 56, was found lying face down with a stab wound to his chest and a deep laceration on his arm. Lesley Culley, of Unsworth Way, Oldham, told a 999 call operator she did not know what had caused his bleeding. The 58-year-old was jailed for six years after pleading guilty to manslaughter at Manchester Crown Court. Greater Manchester Police said she had called emergency services on 8 December 2016 over two hours after the pair left the pub, claiming he had fallen down after drinking all day. She told the call operator she did not know what had caused his wound or what he had hit when he fell over. However, a post mortem examination found the stab wound had been delivered with "severe force". Culley admitted manslaughter on the grounds of loss of control, a defence which the police spokesman said was "supported by a number of psychiatric assessments". Stephen Glynn, 46, left Derek Laidlaw with a broken nose and bruises to the head during the assault in Failsworth, Oldham, on 2 July. Glynn, of Massey Avenue, Failsworth, had previously admitted assault causing actual bodily harm. He was sentenced at a hearing at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. The court heard the pensioner had returned from a family celebration to find a pizza box on his car and Glynn outside his partner's home. Glynn pinned him against the wall and punched him repeatedly during the confrontation, the jury heard. The attack only stopped when Mr Laidlaw's partner of nine years, Marsha Jackson, stopped a van passing by and Glynn left the scene. The defendant pleaded guilty on 11 July, during a hearing at Tameside Magistrates' Court. Janet Commins was killed in Flint, with a man previously imprisoned after admitting her manslaughter. North Wales Police said Stephen Anthony Hough, from Flint, was arrested in Essex on Sunday and had not previously been held in connection with the case. He is due to appear before Llandudno magistrates on Wednesday. Janet's family is being supported by officers, while the force has also made a referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Det Supt Iestyn Davies said: "There have been significant developments to assist police investigations of this nature in the past 40 years and significant changes in the way we approach murder investigations. "This man has not previously been arrested in connection with the 1976 investigation. "A dedicated team of officers have been working on this investigation and, as a result, further evidence has come to light which has caused us to review all the circumstances surrounding the initial investigation." The girl, named locally as Victoria Resetnjova, was shaken "like a rag doll" by the dog in a park - where they are banned - in Chatham, Kent. She is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Her parents said: "The incident has ruined our lives and the lives of our two children." Kent Police said the dog had been found to be a "pit bull type", which officers said was a banned breed under dangerous dog legislation. Firearms officers shot it dead after being called to the park at 17:26 BST on Tuesday. A man, teenager and woman, all from Chatham, were arrested on suspicion of offences under the Dangerous Dogs Act. They have now been released pending further inquiries. The family statement added: "We would like to thank all the emergency services and others who helped our daughter by giving first aid at the scene. "We are also grateful for the continued support of the hospital where she is being treated. "We ask that people now respect our privacy and give us time to focus on the wellbeing of our family." The child was taken to a London hospital with life threatening injuries. Eyewitnesses described the attack as "terrifying". Amanda Ayres, 52, who called for an ambulance after seeing the attack, said: "I can't get her face out my head - her lips were blue. "The mum came over screaming and fell to her knees when she saw her little girl. The whole dog's face was covered in blood." Her daughter Katy Ayres, 31, added: "It had her head in his mouth and was shaking her, treating her like a rag doll." Robinson, 36, had to be restrained after the incident which happened as the teams left the pitch. "He knows what he said to me," Robinson told Charlton's website. Robinson was manager of MK Dons, the club who resulted from Wimbledon FC's relocation from South London in September 2003, between 2010 and 2016. Tom Elliott scored a late equaliser before being sent off as AFC Wimbledon denied Charlton victory in an ill-tempered League One derby at the Cherry Red Records Stadium. "We get stick, it's part of the game, but when an employee of the other club says something like that, it shows the class of the person," added Robinson. "Certain aspects of it were disgusting and shouldn't be part of any industry. "In no walk of life should what was said be said. "It was always going to be hostile with the fans. It's part and parcel of the game." However he did pay tribute to other members of Wimbledon's staff and added: "To be fair, their staff and everyone else in the building has been brilliant since then. Credit to them and I have got a lot of respect for the way they conducted themselves." AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley said that the club had been let down by a member of staff. "No matter what tensions there are in the game nobody should take it upon themselves to abuse people and take the law into their own hands. It's wrong," he told BBC Radio London. "Hopefully the club will do the right thing and deal with it in the right way." Charlton are 13th in the table, three points and one place above AFC Wimbledon. Jamie Acourt, 39, from Bexley, is wanted by officers for drugs offences. A Met Police spokesperson confirmed Mr Acourt was wanted "in connection with an investigation, namely, conspiracy to supply drugs". It is alleged that Mr Acourt is part of a gang, with links to London and the North East, accused of supplying large amounts of cannabis worth millions. Mr Acourt has always denied involvement in the killing of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence, who was stabbed to death in 1993, in Eltham, south-east London. In 2012 Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of Stephen's murder and given life sentences. The Lions made the Cup semi-finals but were beaten 17-10 by Russia, who went on to win the main trophy. The secondary Plate final was won by Great Britain Royals, who beat Georgia 15-12 in the final to be ranked fifth overall. After entering two teams in Russia, head coach Simon Amor will trim his squad down to 12 for the Rio Games.

The lock, 29, allegedly criticised Barnes' decisions following a chaotic end to the game in Paris. Wales conceded a try and conversion in the 100th minute as France won 20-18 to secure a third-place in the tournament. "A hearing will be convened by Six Nations Disciplinary Panel chair, Prof. Lorne Crerar," a statement said. Six Nations Rugby confirmed they are continuing the investigation into replacements made by France in the latter stages of the same match. Wales coach Rob Howley was left to "question the integrity of our game" after France replaced Uini Atonio with Rabah Slimani during the 20 minutes of added time that were played. France's team doctor said Atonio needed to go off for a head injury assessment. The two female customers had eaten their meal and paid the bill, but returned and threatened staff at the creperie in the northern village of Trégastel, Brittany, police said. The young women were "very aggressive" and threatened to smash the cafe's windows, police said on Facebook. The owner and customers managed to repel the women before police arrived. Ouest-France newspaper said no formal charges had been laid against the women after the disturbance on Sunday. The king's coffin was lowered into a vault below the cathedral floor during a reinterment service on Thursday. The two-tonne block of pale Swaledale fossil limestone bears a deeply incised cross, while the darker plinth has his name, dates, motto and coat of arms. Following a Service of Reveal, the doors opened to the public at 15:00 GMT. The last Plantagenet king was killed at Bosworth in 1485 and remains were found beneath a Leicester car park in 2012. The newly unveiled monument is, in fact, the second tomb under which Richard has lain. Days after his death, Richard was hurriedly buried in a roughly cut grave in the small church of the Greyfriars. But 10 years later Henry VII paid sixty pounds and ten shillings for a tomb to be built over the site, possibly to placate an upsurge in Yorkist sympathies. Surviving records indicate it was made of "variegated" or "mingled colour'd" alabaster (as shown in the computer image above) but the size and design are uncertain. It was almost certainly destroyed when the church was dismantled after 1538 and no trace of it was found by archaeologists. His reinterment in the city's cathedral was delayed by legal action which challenged the choice of resting place. About 35,000 people saw a procession on Sunday which took the remains to parts of the county associated with Richard's last days, and more than 20,000 people queued to see the coffin in the cathedral earlier this week. The service contained traditional hymns and prayers and also a dance performance from the nearby Curve theatre. Phil Stone, chair of the Richard III Society, said: "The tomb is something else. I had been worried about the design - the depth of the cross incised within it. "But when you look at it, the stone is very special. "I think for a medieval king reburied in the 21st Century, it's a fitting place." The Lord-Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Lady Jennifer Gretton, said: "We have had three wonderful services and to end on a service like that is fantastic. "This was more of a celebration and every service has caught the spirit that we needed at that time." The redesigning of the cathedral's interior, along with the various events, were budgeted at £2.5m, with fundraising continuing. In the evening, 8,000 candles were lit in the city's Jubilee Square and Cathedral Gardens ahead of a fireworks display on the cathedral roof. Tim Stevens, the outgoing Bishop of Leicester, said: "It has been a wonderful week for Leicester Cathedral but more importantly it has been a wonderful week for the city and county. "I feel like we have been touched by God and I hope and believe the area will make the most of the opportunity." The cathedral remained open to view the tomb until 19:30 and will reopen at 09:30 on Saturday. It adds: "No rent, all I'm asking is taking care of the house, and my two donkeys, two pigs (pets!), five hens, two cats and two dogs." It's not your average property listing, but the owners, by their own admission, are not your average couple. Both originally from Munich, Andy and Freda Power met in Ireland, by chance, when he was hitchhiking in the rain on holiday in County Kerry. They married, and after two years of fruitlessly searching for a cottage to renovate, the pair decided to build an eco-friendly house themselves. Their home is situated on the Roscommon and Galway County border in Ireland and there are no neighbours for almost a mile. The nearest village is eight miles away. But it's not just the remote location that makes the property special - almost everything inside is made from recycled or salvaged material. The couple, who have 16 pets, grow all their fruit, vegetables and herbs, and the house is powered by solar panels and a wind turbine. Andy explains: "We have no USB connections, no water, no sewage, no bin service. We do everything ourselves." A tree, rooted in the earth, grows in the middle of the guest bedroom. The structure itself is made of salvaged timber beams, lined with small stone walls. Straw bales are then stacked on top, and the walls coated with lime plaster. Remarkably, Andy is a social worker without a background in construction. "The main thing is we are a little bit crazy and brave - lots of people tell me: 'I couldn't do that,'" he says. "But when I ask them if have they ever tried - they say: 'No'." The whole process took three-and-a-half years. "I bought some good books but, to be honest, the whole thing wouldn't be possible without the internet. We get so many ideas from websites all around the world," he says. Many of the cottage's quirks are not immediately visible. The oak in the kitchen is from an abandoned lock-keeper's house in Dublin. Feature windows in the hallway are actually converted washing machine doors, installed after the motor was used for a wind turbine. "The whole house sits on a layer of wine bottles," he said. "Under the floor there are between 4,000 and 5,000 bottles. But I didn't drink them all, I collected them from my colleagues over three years. "Insulation is nothing else but trapped air, so the empty bottles sit in a four-inch cavity. Don't ask me if it works, but we tried it!" Even the couple's bed was soldered by Andy from leftover iron and timber. "With a house like this you can't go to Ikea - it just doesn't fit," he says. "The fridge is a bit of an issue, because it needs electricity all of the time." He explains that instead of a traditional fridge, a bucket is buried beneath the ground on a hoist system made from old farm equipment. "It is always between eight and nine degrees. Milk lasts for a few days. Meat could be tricky, but I'm a vegetarian." Sewage is treated in an on-site septic tank, with the overflow going into a reed bed in a nearby field. And it is totally odourless. Bits of plastic and driftwood from Irish beaches are refashioned by Frieda into the cottage's artwork. The kitchen stool is a welded tractor chair with spanners for foot rests. "Some people call it rubbish, but I call it material with potential," says Andy. The Powers have decided to go travelling and have been looking for someone to maintain their property and animals while they are away. They plan to go to Ecuador to teach in a school in the jungle, which is only reachable by canoe. It's a way of life most would not be able to adapt to, but a young couple from Dublin have answered the Powers' advertisement and are willing to try the off-grid life for themselves. Asked about the appeal of such simple living, the Powers say: "You have to be a little bit different. It can be lonely, and people either hate it or love it - there's nothing in between. "It's quite practical living - there is a lot of work involved in the daily routine. But we love the freedom to do whatever." Dyfed-Powys Police was called to Cwrt Henri, Dryslwyn, at about 13:50 GMT on Saturday. The force said the fire was not being treated as suspicious but the incident is being jointly investigated with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service. No further details were given about the cause or the age of the male victim but his next of kin have been informed. Bala Lake Railway volunteers want to extend it the town itself as it currently stops half a mile short. The heritage railway was set up in 1972 after the line shut seven years earlier. An attempt to reconnect with Bala in the 1980s was unsuccessful. Now, rail enthusiasts are hoping to win support for their £2m plans. Manager Roger Hine said the group wanted to seek the views of local people as they start to take their plans forward, but he said it could take years before they came to fruition. The narrow gauge line runs steam trains and passengers on a nine-mile (14km) return route towards Bala from Llanuwchllyn. It travels along the former standard gauge route which ran between Ruabon in Wrexham and Barmouth on the north Wales coast. The section was reopened as a narrow gauge line to utilise smaller steam engines which became available from slate quarries in north Wales as the industry changed. The price of a barrel rose following reports of a fall in US crude stocks. Bank shares also rose amid increased expectation of an interest rate rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 112.58 points at 18,281.03, the S&P 500 index was 9.24 points higher at 2,159.73 while the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 26.36 points to 5,316.02. Brent crude went above $52 a barrel at one point, its highest since June. Activity in the US services sector hit an 11-month high in September, an encouraging sign for economic growth which raised speculation that the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates before the end of the year. Banks, which would be expected to benefit from a rise in rates, rose by 2% as a group, the biggest gain for any day in two months. "We're taking a little victory lap today after the surprisingly good economic data," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh. Shares in the social media website Twitter closed up 5.74% after a report in the Wall Street Journal said the website was expected to receive takeover bids this week. Later in the day, an unconfirmed report from Reuters said Twitter had told potential buyers it wanted to conclude negotiations about selling itself by the time of its third-quarter earnings on 27 October. "It looks like Walt Disney could be a candidate, Salesforce.com and probably Microsoft," Douglas McIntyre, from 24/7 Wall Street in New York, told the BBC . Elsewhere, Google has been named as being another potential bidder. Mr McIntyre said there were two reasons Twitter was putting itself up for sale. "One is that their number of users has plateaued at about 300 million, which is huge, and the other one is that they haven't been able to figure out a way to make money on those 300 million people, so they've had lots of swings at it and it hasn't worked," he said. Last month Twitter's shares jumped more than 20% after a report by the US business news channel CNBC said the home of the 140-character tweet had received takeover approaches. In January, Arfon AM Sian Gwenllian said Caernarfon should be considered as the location. Mr Jones said officials had been asked to look at the idea. But a Welsh Government document indicates nowhere in Gwynedd was in fact evaluated. The organisation will now be based in Treforest, near Pontypridd. In 2018, control of stamp duty and landfill tax will pass to the Welsh Government, which is replacing them with a land transaction tax and a landfill disposals tax to be managed by the new Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA). According to the list of location options for the WRA, only one out of six potential sites, Llandudno Junction, was in north Wales. There were also calls from other AMs for Porthmadog and Wrexham to be considered. In the appraisal, Cathays Park in Cardiff rather than Treforest was the highest scoring location and Llandudno Junction was ranked bottom. Sian Gwenllian told Newyddion 9 on S4C: "I'm troubled that one thing is said in the chamber and another thing in the evaluation..a misleading impression has been given, intentionally or unintentionally. "The requirements [that] have been determined as the critical success factors work against north Wales and need to be changed." Short listed locations were evaluated on their ability to attract and retain skilled staff, how near they were to "stakeholders" and taxpayers. A Welsh Government spokesman said: "As the cabinet secretary's statement said, there were many suggestions put forward for the location of the headquarters of the Welsh Revenue Authority. "All these suggestions were considered as part of the process of determining where the WRA and its staff will be based. "The WRA will be a relatively small organisation - while its headquarters will be physically located in Treforest; staff will be based in north Wales to work face-to-face with taxpayers and their agents." The 2017 Wales Act also devolves some power to vary the rates of income tax at a date yet to be confirmed. Goals from teenage duo Victor Adeboyejo and Tristan Abrahams, after Rhys Oates had opened the scoring for the visitors, leaves Orient seven points adrift of safety with three games remaining. The match was played out to a background of protests against Orient owner Francesco Becchetti and, at the end of the game, supporters gathered on the pitch to vent their feelings against the Italian. Oates had opened the scoring on eight minutes when a poor header by O's defender Teddy Mezague gifted a simple chance to the Hartlepool striker. Orient levelled 10 minutes later when defender Michael Clark picked out 18-year-old Adeboyejo who stabbed the ball home at the near post. Abrahams gave the home side a deserved lead on 34 minutes with a wonderful left-footed strike from 18 yards and it proved to be the winner. Hartlepool, who remain above the relegation zone by just a point, saw Liam Donnelly sent off in added time after the defender picked up two quick bookings for dissent.

Tom Harding, who was teaching a student in the microlight at the time, said the other plane was flying too fast. An Airprox Board report found there had been a "serious risk of collision". Mr Harding, a flight instructor with Flight Sport Aviation, said the Citation had been flying at a speed of 240 knots (276mph). On spotting the other aircraft, he was able to "execute a steep turn to the right". Student pilot Tom McNicholas recalled: "It was extremely close to us. "You could make out the whole jet... I just couldn't believe that we got that close." The Airprox Board said "providence had played a major part", and assessed the risk as Category A. It said members were perplexed that the jet's onboard collision avoidance system had not triggered an alert. They also questioned whether it would have been better had both pilots been talking to a radar controller. Mr Harding has been commended for his robust lookout and appropriate evasive response. David Erik Moen was 19 when he was caught in an avalanche on the Tasman Glacier, in South Island's Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, in 1973. It was not until earlier this year that his remains were found, and his identity confirmed through DNA testing. Mr Moen's family paid tribute to a "great outdoorsman" whose loss "was felt enormously by us and his friends". "We cannot put into words what it feels like to have David returned to us after all this time but we are taken back to when he first went missing in 1973," they said in a statement. "David's spirit still remains in the beautiful, peaceful environment which claimed the life of a wonderful and dearly loved young man in the prime of his life," they added. David Moen had been out climbing with a friend in September 1973 when they were swept away by a wall of snow. The body of the friend was found, alongside David Moen's bag. But Mr Moen's body remained undiscovered for 42 years until it was found, in what local media described as a "well-preserved" state, by two climbers in February this year. Another set of human remains was found at the nearby Hochstetter Glacier in March, but police have yet to make an identification. Robert Noble's March Street Mills in Peebles will close by the end of the year, after its parent company failed to find a buyer. Moorbrook Textiles managing director Ian Laird said they received "no credible offers" for the business as a going concern. "We will cease manufacturing at the site by the end of this year with the loss of all jobs," he added. "We are disappointed that we have not managed to secure a better outcome." Robert Noble can trace its history back almost 350 years. It was established under the David Ballantyne name in Galashiels in 1666. In May Moorbrook Textiles, which is based in Ayr, announced a 30 day consultation on possible plans to close the mill. It claimed the "seasonal and volatile nature of the business", as well as changes in global demand were to blame for the decision. Tweedale West councillor Keith Cockburn said the closure of the plant will be a "big blow" for Peebles. "I am saddened and disappointed that this historic and well-kent local employer will cease manufacturing in Peebles," he said. "This will come as a big blow to the work force and their families as well as the overall economy of the town. "We are all aware that it will be difficult to find full employment locally for such a large number of skilled workers." According to information revealed by the country's National Aids Control Organisation (Naco) in response to a petition filed by an information activist, 2,234 Indians have contracted HIV while receiving blood transfusions in hospitals in the past 17 months alone. Despite wide scale efforts, blood transfusions remain a source of HIV infections not just in India but globally. The percentage, however, varies considerably between high-income and low-income countries. India's own rate of HIV transmission from blood transfusion has come down considerably and now stands below 1%. Yet, while in terms of percentage this may seem small, the large number of cases - India has around 2.09 million people living with HIV/Aids - means that the absolute number is considerable. So 2,234 cases in 17 months cannot be dismissed as miniscule. These are lives that have been put at enormous risk and trauma. The daily fight of those infected and their families goes unrepresented in this play of numbers. We forget they have to live with this debilitating and stigmatised disease for life despite displaying no high-risk behaviour on their part. The figures also point to crucial aspects that must be considered - India's blood safety standards are poorly implemented and its fight against HIV is slackening. We, however, should first consider these basic facts. India is annually short of over several million blood units. Thus, blood is rare and often a life-saving substance for many. A considerable number of those who donate blood are poor and do so for money. Even though India has banned blood banks from paying donors, the sale of blood continues to be lucrative in the black market. Otherwise, there are replacement donors - where families are asked by hospitals to get donors to replenish their stock for a patient in need of blood transfusion. This is also technically illegal but considered acceptable. While the government sets standards for blood safety, these are often poorly implemented and lapses are common. While all donors should be tested for HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis, government empanelled blood banks clearly do not always follow procedure. As a result, blood transfusions still result in thousands of new HIV infections. There is also the question of the 'window' period where a donor infected with HIV does not test positive for weeks. There are tests that can reduce this window period to seven days but these are expensive and not used by every state. Ideally, potential donors should be screened, their medical histories examined and they should be counselled even before they donate blood, to make sure they don't carry any infections. The blood should then be retested by banks. Given the considerable demand however, this almost never happens. And ironically, even though India has inadequate supplies of blood, it is often transfused unnecessarily. This not only needlessly exposes patients to the risk of HIV, hepatitis and other serious side effects, but also reduces the availability of blood for patients for whom transfusion is essential. We must recognise the two key issues at play here. First, India's blood safety standard has always been weak and needs to be reviewed, and implemented stringently. Second, India's fight against HIV has slowed due to reduced funding and growing complacency. Not surprisingly, these issues are interlinked. Where blood safety is concerned, India needs to promote blood donations from regular, voluntary unpaid low-risk blood donors with a careful assessment of their suitability to donate. There needs to be stringent implementation of the screening of all donated blood in accordance with quality requirements for, at minimum, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. Unnecessary transfusions must be discouraged, as patients have little or no agency to question blood safety. India must also renew its fight against HIV. As the number of new infections has fallen, funding has been cut and prevention programs on the ground have suffered. Also, over the last two years, the HIV/Aids program has witnessed wide scale stock deficiencies of essential drugs and testing kits due to bureaucratic delays with little or no accountability. Officials wait until a crisis blows to react and then go back to status quo. This is not acceptable. India needs to increase, not decrease, it's funding for health. Instead of 100 smart cities India needs 100 health cities where the public health system is not overburdened and decaying, and patients can access care at reasonable or no cost without fear of infection. All of this is critically hinged on coordination, sufficient personnel, suitable infrastructure and proper organisation. Clearly, none of this is possible without funding and hence political and bureaucratic will - which seems perennially absent. As the dust settles on this controversy, things will go back to the way they were. New infections will continue to happen due to neglect, apathy or poor prevention efforts. For now, we should, consider this: 2234 people are infected with HIV because they were sick enough to need blood. Chapal Mehra is an independent writer and public health specialist Last month, the judges of the $100,000 (£65,000) Nigeria Prize for Literature announced that there would be no winner for 2015. Professor Ayo Banjo, chairman of the advisory board for the prize, declared that none of the 109 book entries met the required standard. "Each book was found to manifest incompetence in the use of language," he said. Another judge described the entries as riddled with "grave errors". Only books written in English are eligible for the prize. And, in Nigeria, quality of English is usually directly proportional to quality of education. As the country's educational system has declined, the effect can be read and heard when Nigerians communicate in the tongue that was gifted us by our colonial rulers of yore. Over the six years of Goodluck Jonathan's tenure as president of Nigeria, his wife Patience kept many middle-class Nigerians entertained by her customised version of the English language. For example, she once extolled her husband's commitment to maternal health saying: "Goodluck said that... no woman will die again under pregnancy. He said that all Nigerian women, you have died enough." And when she paid a hospital visit to some victims of a Boko Haram attack in Abuja, the former first lady expressed satisfaction that "the doctors and nurses are responding well to treatment". But the laughter was usually accompanied by disdain. Some described her as a disgrace to Nigeria and complained that someone who spoke such poor English had no right to represent our country on the world stage. These critics were inadvertently calling for the majority of Nigerians to steer clear of the public stage. They were suggesting that millions of Nigerians keep their mouths shut. Often when I watch TV, listen to radio, read newspapers or interact with groups of people, locally, I arrive at the conclusion that, as far as grammar and pronunciation are concerned, many Nigerians have decided that Queen Elizabeth may go ahead and speak her version of English while they speak their own. The mistakes and malapropisms may not be as amplified as Mrs Jonathan's, but they are nonetheless very much there. Most Nigerians attend government-run schools, which these days have poorly paid and poorly trained teachers. Mrs Jonathan herself was a qualified teacher, with a National Certificate in Education from the Rivers State College of Education to prove it. The privileged Nigerians who attend privately owned schools learn better English, but usually pay heavy fees. An option might have been for Mrs Jonathan to stick to her mother tongue, an interpreter constantly by her side. But, in a country with such fragile ethnic fault lines, a national figure only engaging in her mother tongue could easily send the wrong message. She may have been perceived as the first lady of a region rather than of the entire country. Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani: "If poverty in the country remains at the current dire level, fewer and fewer Nigerians will be able to afford to learn correct English" Nigerian writers face a similar dilemma. Undoubtedly, indigenous works form an essential part of a people's literary heritage. There is a place for them. But, had Chinua Achebe or Wole Soyinka written in Igbo or Yoruba, they would probably not have been recognised beyond the boundaries of their ethnic groups. These world-acclaimed writers may not even have been read widely among their own clans. Not even the English are born with the ability to read their language. They are taught, usually in schools. And the UN reports that more than one in three adults in sub-Saharan Africa are unable to read and write, while 47 million young people aged between 15 and 24 are illiterate. In April 2015, no fewer than 10.5 million children in Nigeria were reported to be out of school, the highest number of any country in the world. If poverty in the country remains at the current dire level, fewer and fewer Nigerians will be able to afford to learn correct English. Fewer, no matter how skilfully they can tell a good story, will possess the competence in the use of the English language required by most literary prizes. Consequently, many of Nigeria's greatest storytellers will continue to be denied a place on the literary stage. And, sadly, their would-be page-turners will go with them to the grave. More from Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani: Maj Gen Rupert Jones said the group has undermined its own credibility among locals in Iraq and Syria through its "brutal and evil" practices and harsh regime. He said that rather than convincing people to join its ranks, it has had the opposite effect and is making people determined to fight the group. The major general has spent time answering some questions from the BBC audience. "The group can no longer attract new recruits and sell their story as a glamorous one," said Maj Gen Jones, who was in London this week to meet with representatives from 38 countries that are part of the Global Coalition against Daesh. He is confident the group will lose on the battlefield and ideologically. "We've made enormous progress so far," he said. "The coalition is working on unravelling the Daesh [IS] ideology and exposing the group for what it is." "Civilians recognise what Daesh is doing and they reject their brutality. "It's just not glamorous to come and fight for Daesh, where you are likely to be killed by your fellow fighters because you owned a mobile phone you shouldn't have had and end up being beheaded for it." He added that people in the region are looking out for "peace, tolerance and humanity and the rejection of the IS story makes the coalition's position against the group very powerful". We asked readers to send Maj Gen Jones their questions on the Mosul offensive. Carl asked: "How do you plan to use the momentum gained from capturing Mosul to take the next steps towards destroying IS completely?" Carl explained to us the thinking behind his question. "We are continuously told about this 'comprehensive' plan to defeat IS. I would like to know how this potential victory in Mosul will translate into further gains elsewhere. I want to know if the victory on the ground will lead to IS being pushed out of Iraq. I also want to know if the the coalition will maintain their initiative and keep pushing to keep IS stressed and on the defensive." On the ground, the Mosul offensive is giving drive to anti-IS forces in the rest of Iraq and in Syria. "We are not only attacking in Iraq, but our partners will shortly attack into the heart of Raqqa, the capital of the so-called 'caliphate' in Syria. Raqqa has been isolated as we speak," said Maj Gen Jones. As it has been several months since the offensive was started, the timeframe of the operation was a talking point among some BBC audience members. Tom Hickman asked why the capture of Mosul is taking such a long time, considering the coalition's overwhelming superiority in firepower especially in the air. However, the Maj Gen affirmed that the operation is moving according to plan. "It took 100 days to retake the east of Mosul and the battle for the west has only started," he explained. "Any military force in the world would take time to capture a city the size of Mosul. It's a huge city and it's heavily defended. Battles like that just take time. "If you're going to clear through a city that size, without causing civilian causalities, you need to do it in a deliberate manner and that takes time. Patience is needed." The UN has voiced concern about civilians trapped in the west, amid reports that they could number up to 650,000. Maj Gen Jones said those trapped face tough conditions. "They are cut off and Daesh holds them hostage. They are being used as a weapon by IS and they have been brutalized," he said. Andrew Edwards asked if there were any plans in place to evacuate those trapped but the major general said what happens to the civilians in the west of Mosul remains very much a question for Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. The broad message to the city's population has been "stay in place as long as it's safe for you to do so", he added. He highlighted the need to provide support for those leaving. "If people start coming out of the city, they must be looked after, catered for and put in camps. "So far we haven't seen a humanitarian catastrophe." Maj Gen Jones said the Iraqi forces have done an "impressive" job during the battle for Mosul. "They have been dealing with the situation in a very professional manner, which helped manage those who escaped." Hugh Williams asked whether the Iraqi forces have the capability to restore order, maintain security and prevent IS from returning. The Iraqi army is "well capable" of restoring peace and stability to Iraqi towns and cities, said Maj Gen Jones, who added that Iraqi forces so far have managed to control the towns liberated from IS. "What is really powerful about this campaign is, that it is fought by the Iraqi forces and not some Western power. The campaign is by, with and through our partners," he said. "This gives the Iraqi prime minister and the security forces enormous legitimacy to follow through on the post-Daesh period. Our focus is on supporting them defeat Daesh." The major general emphasised the "impressive collaboration" between the Iraqi forces and the Kurdish Peshmerga, particularly on the security side. "We helped train the Kurdish forces and they have been an important part in the fight against Daesh." Produced by UGC and Social News team. The Celtic midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at the Dons, scoring seven goals in 15 games. But he admits to being unsure about a return until manager McInnes turned down the chance to join English Championship club Sunderland. "As soon as I heard that, my mind was made up to come back," Christie said. The 22-year-old was invited back to Aberdeen as part of the deal that took Jonny Hayes to Celtic for £1.3m. Sunderland's move for McInnes, to replace David Moyes, caused Christie a few moments of concern as he enjoyed his summer holiday. McInnes decided against a switch to Wearside to stay with the club he guided to second place in the Scottish Premiership and runners-up in both domestic cup competitions last term. That delighted Christie on a personal level and he also believes it was a significant moment for the whole of Scottish football. "It came out in the press that I would be coming back, but I was still on holiday lying on a beach," Christie told Red TV. "I hadn't had a phone call, so I didn't know what was going on. "When I came back, things had got into motion, but understandably I didn't want to make a decision until I knew the gaffer was staying. "When the news broke that he was going to stay, it was a shock to a lot of people in Scottish football, but it's brilliant news. "Not just for the club, as it is a huge lift, but also for the whole of Scottish football. "For a few years there it turned out to be that as soon as there was any offer from England, people would jump ship. So it's credit to the manager that he has stayed here. "He called me the next day to say he had made his mind up to stay at Aberdeen and wanted to have me on board." Ian Brooke, 43, who runs the Mallard in Scunthorpe, picked up the prize in the EuroMillions draw on 28 July. In 2015, two of his regular customers David and Kathleen Long became the first people to win a EuroMillions prize of £1m twice, following their first win in 2013. Mr Brooke said he planned to share his winnings with two of his friends. More on this and other North Lincolnshire stories "After discovering I had won £1m I immediately went down to the pub where my friends were drinking and took them into a back room," said Mr Brooke. "We always had a gentleman's agreement if one of us won we would share the prize." Mr Brooke, who has worked behind the bar on Burringham Road for more than 18 years, said he planned to spend his Millionaire Maker raffle winnings on a holiday home in Benidorm, Spain, as well as a new car for each of his four children. The chances of winning the Millionaire Maker raffle on a Friday are about one in 2,950,000, according to lottery operator Camelot. This is based on "anticipated ticket sales" meaning the fewer people that enter, the better the odds of winning. These are far better odds than for the much bigger Euromillions jackpot, which has an average prize of £38.7m and odds of one in 139,838,160. When David and Kathleen Long won the Euromillions £1 million prize for a second time, Camelot said the odds were 283 billion to one but did not explain how it had arrived at the figure. The chances of winning the raffle at all, let alone being another winner at the same pub as the Longs, are very slim. People are more likely to be killed by lightning than to win the lottery once, let alone twice. The violence came during celebrations for Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Most of the casualties were in the capital, Baghdad, which was hit by apparently co-ordinated car bombings near markets, cafes and restaurants. This Ramadan in Iraq is thought to have been one of the deadliest in years, with more than 670 people killed. Most of the violence in the past six months has involved Sunni Islamist militant groups targeting Shia Muslim districts, although both Shia and Sunni areas were hit on Saturday. More than 4,000 people have died in such attacks this year. A further 9,865 have been injured, with Baghdad province the worst hit. The capital's deadliest car bomb attack on Saturday struck in the evening near an outdoor market in the south-eastern suburb of Jisr Diyala, police said, killing seven people and injuring 20. Iraq's uncertain future amid wave of violence Among the other areas struck were Amil, Abu Dashir, Khadhimiya, Baiyaa, Shaab, Husseiniya and Dora. Saif Mousa, the owner of a shoe store in the mainly Shia New Baghdad, said he was sitting in his shop when he heard an explosion outside. He told the Associated Press: "My shop's windows were smashed and smoke filled the whole area. I went outside of the shop and I could hardly see because of the smoke. We had a terrible day that was supposed to be nice." At least another 10 people were killed in a suicide car bomb attack in the town of Tuz Khurmato, 170km (105 miles) north of Baghdad. Other attacks were reported in the Shia holy city of Karbala, 80km (50 miles) south of Baghdad, and Nasiriya, 375km (230 miles) south of the capital. Another went off near a Shia mosque in the northern city of Kirkuk. The US state department condemned the "cowardly attacks" which it said had been "aimed at families celebrating the Eid al-Fitr". "The terrorists who committed these acts are enemies of Islam and a shared enemy of the United States, Iraq, and the international community," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement. The attacks bore the hallmarks of similar suicide and car bomb attacks carried out over the past 90 days by al-Qaeda in Iraq, she added, noting that the US was offering a $10m ($6.4m) reward for information that helped the authorities kill or capture its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Last week, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki vowed to continue operations against militants, saying: "We will not leave our children to these murderers and those standing behind them and supporting both inside and outside." Many Sunnis accuse Mr Maliki's Shia-led government of marginalising them. The tensions this year were fuelled in April when Iraqi security forces broke up an anti-government Sunni protest in the city of Hawija, killing and wounding dozens of protesters. Then last month, hundreds of inmates escaped after gunmen stormed two jails near Baghdad - Abu Ghraib to the west of the capital and Taji to the north. The spike in violence in Iraq has raised fears of a return to the levels of sectarian killing seen following the US invasion 10 years ago, and has led commentators to discuss once again the prospect of partition along community lines. The Iraqi government has also faced widespread criticism over corruption and the provision of basic services. The conflict in neighbouring Syria, itself increasingly taking the form of a Sunni-Shia sectarian conflict, is further straining community relations in Iraq. The new book, titled Grey, tells the story through the eyes of sadistic billionaire Christian Grey. James said that since the publication of the original novel in 2011 "thousands of readers" had written to her requesting to hear Christian's point of view. Grey will be published on 18 June - the date of the character's birthday. Fifty Shades of Grey told the story of the steamy relationship between Grey and "unworldly, innocent" literature student, Anastasia Steele. It was followed by two sequels - Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed - with the trilogy achieving worldwide sales of more than 125m. On the opening page of the new novel, James writes, "This book is dedicated to those readers who asked… and asked… and asked… and asked for this." Monday's official announcement said the author would offer her fans "the opportunity to see the world of Fifty Shades anew through the eyes of its intriguing and enigmatic protagonist". "Christian is a complex character," said James, "and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past. "Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story. It's been a great pleasure to return to my happy place - writing, being with Christian and Ana in their universe, and working with the fantastic publishing teams in the US and the UK." The film adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey, directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, hit cinemas earlier this year starring Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele. James's husband Niall Leonard is set to write the sequel, after reports of disagreements between the author and her collaborators on the first film. Belgium remain second in the Fifa rankings despite losing 3-1 to Wales in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals. "We have the talent but you need to build a winning mentality and play without too much expectation in a 'golden generation'," Martinez said. The Spaniard, sacked by Everton in May, also said he would turn Romelu Lukaku "into a world-class striker". Lukaku, linked with a return to Chelsea, scored 18 league goals for the Toffees under Martinez last season. Everton finished a modest 11th, conceding 55 goals, and Martinez was dismissed before the final match of the season after three years in the post. Belgium, who also feature Everton midfielder Kevin Mirallas, are yet to win a World Cup or European Championship. Asked about his new role, Martinez said: "I've been working with Belgian players and I've been intrigued by Belgian football, the talent of the Belgium players is there to be seen. "We will always work to be on the ball and be an attacking team, but you have to be able to defend. We want to play attractive football but we have to win. "Sometimes there seemed too much pressure, carrying the hopes of the country, and we're all responsible for that." Find out how to get into football with our special guide.

Someone who can boast outstanding achievements or who displays noble qualities? Maybe a mixture of all those characteristics. If so, Formula 1 is packed with personalities who could be described as heroes. And it feels - this weekend more than ever - like Britain has the Lion's share. Having asked you for your British F1 heroes, here's the best of how you defined the greatest figures of our sport, and why... Successful on the circuit, a pioneer off it, Sir Jackie Stewart is undoubtedly one of Formula 1's great British heroes. The Scot won 27 races and three world championships during his eight-year career in racing and also worked tirelessly to improve F1 safety. He was the first driver to wear seatbelts, who insisted circuits should be lined by barriers and who pushed for fire-resistant clothing, pit walls, six-point safety harnesses and crash structures in cars. He continued his tireless campaign to improve safety after he retired in 1973 and played a pivotal role in moving F1 out of an era known for its frequent fatalities and into modern times. Another safety pioneer was professor Sid Watkins, who served as F1's chief medical delegate between 1978 and 2004. As trackside doctor, he played a major role in saving the lives of several grand prix drivers after heavy crashes and was instrumental in transforming safety in F1. Your heroes Jake Nichol: Sir Jackie Stewart, wouldn't take no for an answer with Safety. Many have been saved. Thomas Knights: Professor Sid Watkins. Amazing man, did so much for the sport. James Humberstone: It has to be Sir Frank Williams. He created a legacy team that is ingrained in F1 history. James Hunt. The ultimate rock'n'roll racer. Charming, charismatic, boisterous but in possession of a huge drive to succeed. He lived the playboy lifestyle, drinking and partying all the while forging a successful career in F1, culminating in his 1976 world championship win. If Hunt was the ultimately playboy, then Graham Hill was the ultimate British gentleman. A charming and witty raconteur Hill was one of the great personalities of the sport, and also one of the most successful. F1 world champion in 1962 and 1968, Hill is also the only driver to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport: the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and F1 world championship. Your heroes Jeremy Newlin: James Hunt - for all the wrong reasons... Tony Crowther: Graham Hill, without doubt the epitome of 'British' and the best ever ambassador for any British sport, not just F1! Mihail Nesterovich: True British F1 hero was Eddie Irvine - an ultimate f1 superstar, he was fast, outspoken, flamboyant and spectacular! The entertainers of Hunt and Hill as well as pioneer Stewart would also come under this category for their world title wins, but there are others worthy of a mention. Considered by many as the greatest is the legendary Jim Clark. His tally of 25 victories was a record at the time, coming in just 72 starts, while his two titles in 1963 and 1965 were exercises in crushing superiority. Sir Stirling Moss was arguably the first British great of F1, becoming the first Brit to win the British Grand Prix in 1955, while Mike Hawthorn was the first British winner of the F1 championship when he took the title in 1958. John Surtees remains the only man to win world championships with both bike and car. Nigel Mansell, winner of the championship in 1992, went toe-to-toe with two titans of F1 - Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost - and his exciting, fighting style won him enormous adulation. Then, of course there are the modern day drivers - Jenson Button winning the world title in 2009 and reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes driver regularly breaking records and this year bidding for his third F1 championship. Your heroes Gemma Webb: Easily Jenson Button. He's a champion, down to earth and credits the fans and the team. Top bloke. Nathan Tague: Aside from drivers, Adrian Newey. Absolute genius and the man behind countless title-winning cars. Mr Keer: Has to be Graham Hill. Won the F1 championship, Le Mans and the Indy 500. And all with the grace of a jolly good chap. Matt Claypole: Who else but Coulthard. He was often capable of matching the great Schumi. Plus he had some great radio messages. In a sport where danger is always close by, it is not surprising there are plenty of tales of bravery, regardless of nationality. The work of marshals in races throughout the world is undoubtedly worthy of mention, with the groups of volunteers risking their lives to ensure the smooth operation of a grand prix weekend. Then there are the tales of individual acts of bravery. British driver David Purley was awarded the George Medal for his courage in trying to save fellow British driver Roger Williamson by trying in vain to get him out of his burning car at the 1973 Dutch Grand Prix. Williamson sadly died. Your heroes Emma Jayne: All the British marshals! The unsung ladies and gents who risk their lives, for free! Ursa Minor Threat: Mike Hailwood, legendary bike racer and driver, and got George Medal for saving Clay Regazzoni in South African GP. Lewis McMurray: As a driver Lewis Hamilton, but as a hero David Purley for his '73 Dutch GP heroism. The boss of Volkswagen's US business, Michael Horn, has admitted it "totally screwed up" in using software to rig emissions tests. Last Friday, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said VW diesel cars had much higher emissions than tests had suggested and that software in several diesel cars could deceive regulators. Here is selection of your views on Volkswagen's emissions-rigging scandal. @SaratogaSprngs tweets that Volkswagen made the right move in admitting their mistake: I am absolutely disgusted with this. I purchased my VW Golf due to the fantastic low emissions it was "claimed" to produce. Now I'm worrying that my car could be recalled. It's clear that VW would have happily carried on with this lie to its customers. The reason I chose such a car was because VW was a well-known respectable company but this could not be further from the truth. I want to know as soon as possible if my car has been affected and if so what are the actions from this point on. Oliver Ealey, Oxfordshire, UK 11 million Vehicles affected worldwide €6.5bn Set aside by VW $18bn Potential fines No. 1 Global carmaker in sales I purchased a VW Golf BlueMotion because low emissions are important to me. With hindsight it appears that the stats for the vehicle really were too good to be true. My confidence in the claims made by vehicle manufacturers is seriously diminished. I hope there will be more vigorous testing and greater transparency in future. I will also consider switching from a diesel to a hybrid. Robin Cole, Surrey, UK @MihirBajoria tweets his disappointment in Volkswagen: I drive a VW company car. One of my decisions when choosing it was the CO2 emissions figure. Simply because the higher it is the more tax I pay. What are VW and/or the UK government going to do if as a result of this apparent fraud by VW it means the official CO2 figures are reviewed and are higher than previously stated, meaning I have to pay more tax? David Turnbull, Edinburgh, Scotland In July I took delivery of a new diesel Polo and my decision was based on the fact that the advertised fuel consumption / CO2 emissions were 75% of that of my 10-year-old diesel Polo. I was extremely disappointed to discover that there is actually little difference between fuel consumption in both vehicles. Had I known this, I would not have replaced the old one because it is in good condition. I have been a lifelong VW loyalist. Deeply disappointed. Eric de la Harpe, Oxfordshire, UK Bob Smith in Scotland messaged on WhatsApp to say he chose Volkswagen to do his bit for the environment: I purchased a VW SportWagen in 2009. My primary interests were in the durability, mileage and cleanliness of the clean diesel engine. I'm worried that any fix will affect these and make the car into the slow, problem prone VW diesel Rabbit of the 1970s. Byron Johnson, Texas, USA At present we have a 2010 petrol Golf and a 2012 diesel Golf. I am extremely disappointed with this behaviour. We have had five VWs in the family. Pending on VW's resolve, we may never purchase another. We are already contemplating switching manufacturers. We purchased under a promise but we've been bold faced lied to. That sucks. What else are they lying about? Roy Greyeyes, Ottawa, Canada @philinhongkong tweets being environmentally-friendly was not uppermost in his mind when he made his Volkswagen purchase: We have five Volkswagens in the household, two of which are diesel. They have provided safe, frugal, and reliable transport for my family. As cars to live with they are light years ahead of Vauxhalls and Fords which we used to run. As a loyal Volkswagen customer I am, as you'd expect very, very, very disappointed. The brains, the resources, and innovation of this company alone could not allow this to happen, but it did. However, if any organisation can turn it round from this debacle it will be this one. Chandrin Katuwawala, Bedfordshire, UK This afternoon we are seeing a VW dealer to close the deal for Passat which we viewed last week. We based the decision on how economical and environmentally friendly the car was. I don't know where it leaves us. Do we still go ahead or wait, in which case we will lose the special deal offered. It is a dilemma! Amirali Kanji, Hampshire, UK Compiled by Andree Massiah Fuel launderers evade taxes by removing dye from red diesel, which is cheaper than regular diesel and is intended only for off-road agricultural use. It is prevalent in Northern Ireland, costing £80m a year in lost taxes. However, a new dye is set to be introduced next year, which HMRC said will be almost impossible to remove. It means that motorists who use discounted red diesel for non-agricultural use should be easily detected during roadside checks. Pat Curtis, a senior officer from HMRC's specialist investigations unit, told the Press Association: "The whole idea of this marker is to virtually eliminate laundering." Fuel laundering not only results in lost revenue for the state, but also damages the environment, as toxic waste is often dumped in rural areas, leaving local authorities to pick up the bill for waste removal. In recent years, the problem has been particularly acute in border areas of Northern Ireland. Nearly a third of all illegal fuel sales detected in the UK in 2012/13 were in Northern Ireland, according to figures provided by HMRC at the time. HMRC has also repeatedly warned motorists that the illegal diesel trade was fuelling organised crime. In an effort to combat the practice, the new dye will be introduced in both the UK and the Republic of Ireland next April. A government investigation concluded on Monday that photographs purporting to show the pair at the top of the world's highest mountain were faked. Officials say the ban is intended to deter other climbers from making spurious and dishonest claims. The pair's claims to have reached the peak in May were queried by climbers. They argued that photos showing Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod at the summit were obviously doctored. Nepal's tourism department initially certified their ascent but has now rescinded that decision after conducting an investigation. Tourism department chief Sudarshan Prasad Dhakal told the AFP news agency that an analysis of photos submitted by Mr and Mrs Rathod revealed they had superimposed themselves and their banners on photos taken by another Indian climber who conquered Everest. "Despite several attempts to get clarifications from them, they did not co-operate with us during the investigation. The two Sherpas that assisted them are also absconding," Mr Dhakal said. "The ban should serve as a warning for mountaineers to follow ethics." Mr and Mrs Rathod - who work as constables in the western Indian city of Pune - in July denied the claims, as did the guides who climbed with them. But a climber based in the southern Indian city of Bangalore, Satyarup Sidhantha, later told reporters that the photographs presented by the Rathods as "proof" of their climb actually belonged to him. Suspicions were further aroused because of the time lag between the day the Rathods claimed to have reached the summit and their news conference announcing their achievement. It was alleged that the couple could not possibly have reached the summit so soon after they were seen to have arrived at the base camp, and that the photos appeared to show them in two different sets of clothes and boots while on the climb. Many of those who have succeeded in scaling the 8,848m (29,029ft) mountain have subsequently gone on to have lucrative careers as motivational speakers and authors. More than 450 people, including more than 250 foreigners, climbed Everest during the recently-concluded spring season. It followed two consecutive years of poor weather - made worse by the Nepal earthquake of 2015 - which resulted in almost all Everest attempts being abandoned. Mountaineering is a major source of income for impoverished Nepal and this year's succession of successful summits is expected to provide the industry with a major fillip. His "rope-a-dope" strategy of letting the more powerful Foreman punch himself to a standstill resulted in Ali winning a fight many had predicted, and the first seven rounds had suggested, he would lose. The best strategies are often only revealed in hindsight. As a sharp observer of political strategy, a different George, Osborne this time, knows the value of long term planning. Of having a strategy at the beginning of a fight that is only revealed at the end. When everyone can say - "Ah, so that was what he was up to." Tomorrow's economic growth figures are a case in point. They are likely to show a significant slowing in the economy over the first three months of this year. Most economists predict a growth figure for gross domestic product - approximately the amount of national income a country is producing - of +0.4%. That compares to a figure of +0.6% for the same period last year. Now cast your mind back to January. In his first big speech of the year, the Chancellor spoke of a "dangerous cocktail of economic risks". A slowdown in China, a slump in commodity prices and tensions in the Middle East were weighing on the UK economy, he claimed. "It is precisely because we have not abolished boom and bust as a nation, that I need to go on explaining to the public that the difficult times aren't over, we have got to go on making the difficult decisions, precisely so that Britain can continue to enjoy the low unemployment and the rising wages that we see at the moment," Mr Osborne said. At the time, many thought the Chancellor was getting his excuses in early for why the economy in 2016 was not going to perform as well as in 2015. And why the Chancellor might miss his politically important deficit reduction targets. But, four months on from that speech in Cardiff, a rather different perspective is beginning to emerge. It is likely - in fact probable I would say after speaking to those close to Mr Osborne - that the Chancellor will claim "referendum uncertainty" as one of the reasons for the stuttering economy. Because a stuttering economy feeds the risk agenda - Project Fear - those pro-remaining in the European Union have been mapping out. And is, to an extent, good news for the Remain campaign of which Mr Osborne is a leading figure. The question: Is referendum uncertainty really the reason for the economic slowdown? On that the evidence is mixed. The latest report from the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, published two weeks ago, said there was some evidence that investment decisions had been delayed until the results of the vote are known. Commercial property deals have slowed and company takeover activity - often a spur to productivity gains and faster growth - have been postponed. A survey of company executives by Deloitte revealed that levels of "financial uncertainty" were at a three-year high. Against this stack of evidence, though, there are more fundamental issues than recent referendum risk which are affecting the UK economy. Manufacturing growth is still anaemic, industrial production data are weak and exports struggling. UK productivity improvement levels - one of the main drivers of growth - have still to recover following the financial crisis. It is also worth remembering that though the uncertainty risk is rising now, tomorrow's GDP figure is for the first three months of the year. David Cameron did not announce the date for the referendum until the end of February. If the EU referendum outcome is weighing on economic sentiment, then expect a much sharper affect to be seen in the second quarter growth figures, to be released in three months time. The Brazil-born Spain international, 26, has just served a three-match ban for a stamp on Liverpool's Emre Can in their League Cup semi-final last month. "My challenges are strong but noble at the same time." Costa said in an interview with Sport magazine. "Check my records, you'll find I've never caused a bad injury to a player." Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claimed the stamping incident was an accident and the player has been targeted by sections of the media. Media playback is not supported on this device In the wake of Costa's suspension Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini urged the player to learn from the incident and change his game in the future. Costa, scorer of 17 Premier League goals this season, believes the reactions to certain incidents he is involved in are blow out of proportion. "I consider myself a player who fights and gives everything on the pitch. Those who know me and appreciate those values understand what I say," he said. "The bottom line is that sometimes the little things I do on the pitch provoke exaggerated reactions." Costa, who joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid for £32m in July 2014, says he has received some rough treatment by players from other teams which should have been more harshly dealt with. "Some of the kicks I suffer in England would be punished with a red card in Spain," he added. "I am getting used to getting kicked more than before. Premier League defenders are really strong and physical. "In England, the referees don't call many fouls, as opposed to Spanish football. Consequently, you must be really strong all through the 90 minutes." Shadow Lords leader Baroness Smith said the move was a "massive over-reaction" to the government's defeat over tax credit changes last year. She was speaking as peers debated the proposals put forward by Conservative Lord Strathclyde. The Tory peer said Lords were actually being given a new "very practical" power they had never had before. He led a review launched by David Cameron into the powers of the House of Lords after they blocked plans to cut tax credits in October, to the anger of Conservative ministers. The cuts were later shelved in the Autumn Statement. The review recommended taking away the absolute veto the House of Lords had over laws, called statutory instruments, and instead create a new procedure allowing them to send the secondary legislation back to the House of Commons to "think again". They would only be allowed to do this once, enabling the House of Commons to have the final say and push through its agenda even if the Lords disagrees. Lord Strathclyde told a packed Upper House this new procedure would be the "ping without the pong" referring to legislation that goes back and forth between the House of Commons and Lords until both agree, commonly known as ping-ponging. But Baroness Smith said it was "an unnecessary solution to a fictitious problem". "The reality is that we seldom use our powers to their limits," she said. "But that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist." Unlike in the Commons, the Conservatives do not have a majority in the House of Lords. Making his maiden speech in the House of Lords, former Labour chancellor Alistair Darling said he understood the frustration of being a government minister. George Osborne should have been grateful to peers for bringing about the reversal, he said, recalling the former Labour government's much-criticised abolition of the 10p rate of income tax. He said the tax credit changes should have been introduced as primary legislation in the first place, which would have allowed the Lords to scrutinise them. "I am increasingly concerned about the amount of constitutional change taking place in this country on a piecemeal basis," he added. In recent years, Lord Strathclyde said the House of Lords had developed a "lesser understanding of the implications of what happens when we use our powers too aggressively" and enjoyed "unfettered powers" to veto secondary legislation. Under the proposed model, he said: "We have a conversation between the two Houses but they (the Commons) have the final say." It was right for the Lords to have a new procedure "to do what we do best, which is to ask the Commons to think again", he added.

This week Theresa May announced the UK should leave the single market when Article 50 is triggered. But the Farmers' Union of Wales fears a "hard Brexit", plus a potential deal with New Zealand, could be damaging for Welsh farmers. Conservative AM Paul Davies said the industry had to remain "positive". About 90% of Welsh food and drink is currently exported to the EU. FUW president Glyn Roberts said the industry was facing a "perfect storm" if a trade deal was struck with New Zealand and a hard Brexit was pursued. Mr Roberts said Welsh lamb would have to compete with a country that is in direct competition with it and able to sell at a much cheaper price. He told BBC Wales: "In no way can we compete on price with New Zealand, but we can compete on value, and what we have as a premium product in Welsh lamb. "It depends on what the consumers want: does the consumer want cheap food or does the consumer feel that by buying Welsh products and Welsh lamb, that they are getting a premium product," he added. Last week, Theresa May said the UK government would begin talks with New Zealand with the ultimate aim of striking a trade deal. But Mr Roberts said UK farmers could sell much more to the 500m people living in the European Union - some 20m across the channel - than about 4.5m people living in New Zealand. "It is a perfect storm because what we in Wales want to export is exactly the same thing as New Zealand want to export to Wales," he said. "Getting a deal with one country is one thing, getting the product there and marketing the product is another thing." His daughter, Becca, 23, said she felt uncertain about her future on the family sheep and beef farm near Betws-y-Coed, Conwy county, following the Brexit vote. "I just came back from university, it is very worrying," she said. "I have always wanted to farm sheep and beef, I will have to think about something else." Pembrokeshire Conservative AM Paul Davies said while farmers faced huge challenges Brexit presented opportunities as well. "What's important now is that we get the best possible access to the single market, and I think Theresa May made that absolutely clear in her speech," he said. "We have to remain positive because of course the sustainability and future of agriculture depends upon it. "That's why, in my view, the UK government should prioritise agriculture as a sector when they enter into negotiations with the EU."

A potential free trade deal between the UK and New Zealand after Brexit could price Welsh lamb off the shelves, a farming union has warned.

Mr Turnbull unveiled a new system that he said would give better care to patients. The system would allow more use of technology and a focus on tailored care over a standardised approach, he said. Australia spends around A$10b (£4.7b; $7.3b) each year on mental health services. "Mental illness gnaws away at participation, it gnaws away at productivity," Mr Turnbull said. The new strategy, which will be rolled out over three years from 2016, comes after a review critical of Australia's current mental health system. Services such as hotlines will be streamlined and local health offices will be able to commission their own care plans for patients with complex needs. Mental health advocacy groups have welcomed the decision.

Mental illness hurts Australia's productivity and services need to be overhauled, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says.

The 37-year-old achieved the feat in his 224th Test innings, during his side's second Test in New Zealand. India's Sachin Tendulkar and Australia's Ricky Ponting both needed 247 innings to surpass the mark. Sangakkara's 33 not out helped his side to 78-5 after the Kiwis were all out for 221 on day one in Wellington. New Zealand lead the series 1-0 after an eight-wicket win in Christchurch. Sangakkara began his innings on 11,995 runs and was given a standing ovation when he became the first Sri Lankan to reach 12,000 by knocking Trent Boult square for two. Tendulkar (15,921), Ponting (13,378), South African Jacques Kallis (13,289) and India's Rahul Dravid (13,288) are the only four players to have scored more Test runs than Sangakkara.

Sri Lanka batsman Kumar Sangakkara has become the fastest player to reach 12,000 runs in Test cricket - and only the fifth to reach the landmark.

Syed Choudhury, 19, from the Grangetown area of the city, was arrested last December. The Cardiff and Vale College student spoke only to confirm his name, and to admit engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts. Originally from Bradford, Choudhury was living with his aunt in Cardiff. The court heard how in July last year, Choudhury took part in a demonstration in Cardiff protesting about the conflict in Gaza. He carried a banner proclaiming his support for Islamic State which brought him to the attention of anti-terrorism officers. Prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse QC said in the weeks following the demonstration, Choudhury accessed websites about travelling to Syria and another one that was entitled "10 reasons to join ISIS". Ms Whitehouse said he also downloaded images that showed his active interest in extremism and had conversations on social media about travelling to Turkey and Syria to fight. Choudhury was arrested last December and during interview he repeatedly said he supported IS and that he would be happy to kill non-believers under Islamic State rule. He was due to go on trial on Wednesday at the Old Bailey, but changed his plea after the jury had been sworn in. In mitigation, defence barrister Abdul Iqbal said Choudhury did not appreciate the complexities of Middle East politics and he had been deeply influenced by older men in the Cardiff area who he considered to be more learned than him. Mr Iqbal said the defendant was immature, "not the most academically capable" and had showed "immaturity and a lack of sophistication". Judge Peter Rook QC adjourned proceedings until 7 July for a pre-sentence report to be compiled. "It is quite clear you wanted to travel to Syria and join IS and the only reason you had not is because you had not found someone you trusted to travel with," he said. The judge said a custodial sentence would be passed and the issue of "dangerousness" would be considered.

A Cardiff man who planned to travel to Syria to fight with Islamic State has pleaded guilty to a terror charge at the Old Bailey.

But he says blocking out the emotion and drawing on how close they came to beating the Wallabies will help them launch their autumn series in style. Laidlaw previously said he would take the pain of that controversial last-minute defeat "to the grave". "When we take the emotion out of it, it is a game we could have won," he said. "If we can use that as a positive again, that can help us because we were in the game for 80 minutes. "But we understand that defensively we need to be stronger this time around. We gave away five tries so Australia will probably be thinking they can cause us problems. "So we need to be real tight in our defence, real tight in our driving maul and our forward play so we are not giving away cheap points. "If we get our stuff right, we feel as though we've got a strong game plan. We just need to stay in the moment and stick to our game plan. If we do that, we think we can be in the game." While Laidlaw believes the way Scotland competed in that quarter-final "gives the team real confidence", he acknowledged the challenge of matching the Wallabies' Test-match intensity by Saturday. Australia played six Rugby Championship games- winning three, losing three - between August and early October, and looked far more match-sharp than Wales in opening their November series against all four home nations with a crushing 32-8 victory in Cardiff last Saturday. But Laidlaw thinks extra preparation time - Scotland have been in camp since early last week - and a change of focus to more rugby-specific training, rather than fitness, will help the hosts. "We are in a better place now than we have been before going into first games in championships," added the Gloucester scrum-half, citing their "poor performance" in the first game of this year's Six Nations against England as evidence. "We have had a pretty good hit-out to mirror a game. We are excited and we will be ready to go. "It's an important game for us at home in front of our people, and when our studs hit the ground at the weekend we are going out there to meet fire with fire." Australia full-back Israel Folau, who is set to win his 50th cap at Murrayfield on Saturday, insists the Wallabies have forgotten about the controversy that overshadowed their last meeting with Scotland. "Obviously it was a decision made by the referee, it had nothing to do with the players," said the 27-year-old, who missed the World Cup quarter-final through injury before returning for the semi and final. "I can understand from a Scottish supporters' point of view that it was very disappointing, but for us as players, we have looked past that. "This week is a new game for us. We are going into it starting from zero. The guys have forgotten about what happened last time. "It was no surprise to us how Scotland played and it will be no different this week. We are expecting a very tough, challenging game." Scientists want these ubiquitous gadgets to be put to work helping them detect and investigate earthquakes. The devices contain accelerometers and a team at the Berkeley Seismic Laboratory says the mechanisms are capable of monitoring tremors. An app is being developed that will record the shaking during major events and then report the data back to a central server over the cell network. The high numbers of smartphones now in circulation mean researchers could get very detailed information on who felt what, and where. It is the sort of insight that is useful for future hazard assessment and risk planning, but real-time data could also eventually play an important role in California's earthquake early warning system. This aims to give people precious seconds' advance notice that a big trembler is on its way. "Nowadays, smartphones carry all sorts of sensors, and we can put these to use in unexpected ways," explained Qingkai Kong. "Right now, we can only detect earthquakes above about Magnitude 5.0, but with better accelerometers in future smartphones we would hope to detect smaller ones as well," he told BBC News. The University of California, Berkeley, researcher was speaking here at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists. He and colleagues were not sure at first that mobile phones would be up to the task of being pocket seismometers. So a selection of the gadgets was put on the lab's "shake table". This instrument can simulate various grades of tremors. It is usually employed to test the robustness of various construction techniques, to provide confidence that buildings will not collapse during an earthquake. The results clearly demonstrated that the accelerometers - used primarily in phones as part of the mechanism to tilt the screen - could pick up the shaking. The confounding issue, of course, is that phones are rarely left alone on a flat surface - they are moving around with their owners. But the team believes it can solve this problem as well, and has developed an algorithm that will subtract the human "noise" in the data. "The pattern recognition algorithm sees typical human activities such as walking, running and driving, and we use that information to disengage those activities from the earthquake signal," said Mr Kong. This algorithm is rarely fooled, he added. Berkeley's project is very much in its early stages and the team hopes soon to start recruiting more people into its research project. It is likely to issue a test app to thousands of volunteers across the San Francisco Bay Area next year. This is a region that lives with the knowledge that a major quake could happen at any time. A Magnitude 7.9 event in 1906 flattened San Francisco; and Berkeley itself sits right on top of the Hayward Fault, which many scientists suspect will deliver the next big blow to the Bay Area. Having good reports on the amount of shaking in an earthquake from different locations is invaluable data. The level of disturbance a person feels will depend on many things: the number and quality of buildings close by, and the nature of the soils on which they are built, etc. It is even possible for individuals on opposite sides of a street to have quite different experiences. Shaking reports help planners identify weaknesses in construction standards and are used to raise the level of preparedness for the next big event. Moreover, a smartphone seismic network has potential to feed directly into the early warning system. This relies on being able to detect the faster-moving but not-so-damaging P-waves of a seismic event ahead of its S-waves, which cause most destruction. How much warning an individual gets will depend on how far they are from the epicentre of a quake. It can though amount to several seconds - time enough for individuals to take cover in a doorway, for trains to slow, for planes to be passed a message to abort their landing, and for surgeons to finish a delicate procedure. The current generation of smartphones does not have the sensitivities yet to participate in such a programme, but the performance being promised by tech companies for future accelerometers suggests the dream may soon be fulfilled. Being everywhere and always on, smartphones would then not only provide a dense source of data for the warning system but be the means also to issue its alerts through dedicated tones and messages. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Their heads move some 6m/s (20ft/s), at each peck enduring a deceleration more than 1,000 times that of gravity. But researchers reporting in Plos One say that unequal upper and lower beak lengths and spongy, plate-like bone structure protect the birds' brains. The findings could help design more effective head protection for humans. For years, scientists have examined the anatomy of woodpeckers' skulls to find out how they pull off their powerful pecking without causing themselves harm. The birds have little "sub-dural space" between their brains and their skulls, so the brain does not have room to bump around as it does in humans. Also, their brains are longer top-to-bottom than front-to-back, meaning the force against the skull is spread over a larger brain area. A highly-developed bone called the hyoid - which in humans is just above the "Adam's apple" - has also been studied: starting at the underside of the birds' beaks, it makes a full loop through their nostrils, under and around the back of their skulls, over the top and meeting again before the forehead. However, Ming Zhang of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a co-author of the new work, said that he and his colleagues wanted to get to the bottom of the problem numerically. "We thought that most of the previous studies were limited to the qualitative answer to this question," he told BBC News. "More quantitative studies are necessary to answer this interesting problem, which would aid in applying the bio-mechanism to human protective device design and even to some industry design." First, the team had a look at woodpeckers in a controlled environment: two slow-motion cameras captured images of the birds striking a force sensor that measured their pecking power. They found that the birds slightly turn their heads as they peck, which influences how forces are transmitted. The team also gathered computed tomography and scanning electron microscope analyses of woodpecker skulls, laying out in detail how the parts fit together and where bone density varied. With those data in hand, they were able to use a computer simulation to calculate the forces throughout the birds' skulls in the process of pecking. The team's simulations showed that three factors were at work in sparing the birds injury. Firstly, the hyoid bone's looping structure around the whole skull was found to act as a "safety belt", especially after the initial impact. The team also found that the upper and lower halves of the birds' beaks were uneven, and as force was transmitted from the tip of the beak into the bone, this asymmetry lowered the load that made it as far as the brain. Lastly, plate-like bones with a "spongy" structure at different points in the skull helped distribute the incoming force, thereby protecting the brain. The team stresses that it is the combination of the three, rather than any one feature, that keeps woodpeckers pecking without injury. A worker at the hospital said that colleagues were under tremendous pressure, after a "major incident" was declared on Monday 2nd January. The Western Health Trust confirmed it was due to a high volume of patient numbers. However a Trust spokesperson said the incident was "stood down" within hours. It is also understood that there were trolley waits at Altnagelvin. The Irish News reported on Tuesday that the hospital had to implement a "full 999 divert". In a statement to the BBC the Western Health and Social Care Trust said: "The Trust activated its business continuity measures before Christmas and this supported the Trust's operation through the outbreak of Norovirus. " (Monday) 2nd January 2017 proved a particularly difficult and challenging day and the emergency plan was enacted for a period of time to deal with a pressurised period in our ED (emergency department). "This measure was stood down shortly afterwards". In a report in November 2016, the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) found that staff at Altanagelvin's emergency department were "burnt out". Newly released figures also show that more than 400 patients had to wait at least 12 hours at emergency departments over the Christmas period. The figures were obtained by the BBC from the Health and Social Care Board. From Christmas Eve to 2 January, 462 patients had a wait of at least 12 hours to be admitted, discharged or transferred. The Health and Social Care Board has apologised for any "distress and inconvenience". The pressure was most acute in Antrim Area Hospital, where 165 patients faced at least a 12-hour wait. At the Ulster Hospital, Dundonald, 94 patients had to wait the same period of time while there were 60 patients affected at Craigavon Area Hospital. In the Western Health Trust, 33 patients waited at least 12 hours in Londonderry's Altnagelvin Hospital while the same number waited 12 hours at the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh. In Belfast, 28 patients faced a 12-hour wait at the Royal Victoria Hospital and 24 others waited in excess of 12 hours in the Mater Hospital. The hospital which had the fewest 12-hour waits was the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, with nine cases. From December 24 to 29, there was a 9% rise on the number of attendances at emergency departments compared to the same period last year. There was an increase of 14% on those visiting the emergency department in Antrim Area Hospital, while the increase was just 4% at the Royal Victoria. In a statement, the board said there was a very high level of demand on urgent care services because of winter illnesses, including the norovirus. It said it is working with health trusts, primary care colleagues and other key partners to alleviate the pressure. "Plans have been put in place across the Health and Social Care system to manage increased demand at this time of year. "However, given the extent of the increase in demand, some patients have had to wait more than 12 hours to be admitted to hospital. "We fully understand the distress and inconvenience this causes to patients and their families and apologise to them for it." Figures showing the amount of patients who had to wait more than four hours are due to be published on Thursday. The Movistar rider powered up the famous Mur de Huy climb to take his third victory in a row. The Spaniard, 35, finished just a few metres ahead of Etixx-Quick Step's Julian Alaphilippe and Dan Martin on the Ardennes course. Anna van der Breggen won the women's race, as Britain's Lizzie Armitstead came home in 28th place. Top Dutch rider and rival to World Road Race champion Armitstead, Marianne Vos, finished ninth after a long injury lay-off. A Specialized Camber Comp Carbon and a Carrera Valour, worth about £4,000, were taken from a house in the town's St Andrews Road between 20 and 21 July. A nearby shed was also broken into with five bikes worth about £3,000 stolen. They included a black and grey Genesis Core, a black Specialized Langster and a Gary Fisher mountain bike with yellow writing on the frame. Police have appealed for witnesses. Insp Mike Bennett, who is based at Galashiels police station, said: "I want to hear from anyone who knows anything about these break-ins or who has been approached to buy a second-hand bike in the area in recent days." He has played five times since joining Barnet on a non-contract basis. Pearson, 23, is the son of ex-Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson and was sacked by the East Midlands club in June 2015 after he took part in a racist sex tape filmed on a tour of Thailand. The defender was one of three players released by Leicester after an internal investigation into the incident. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk will also be joining Tom Lehman as vice-captains for the contest against Europe. Woods, 39, who is battling to recover from a persistent back injury, has played in seven Ryder Cups, the most recent in 2012 under Love's captaincy. "Once I'm fully healthy, I'd like to try to make the team too," said 14-time major winner Woods. "Either way, I'm very excited to work with Davis, the other vice-captains and the players to get a US victory." Should Woods, now ranked 384 in the world, qualify as a player, either automatically or via a captain's pick, Love has the option to name a replacement vice-captain. The US will be bidding to end a run of eight defeats by Europe in the last 10 editions of the biennial team competition when the 2016 Ryder Cup is held from 30 September to 2 October at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. Love, who will name a fifth vice-captain at a later date, said: "These three guys, joining Tom Lehman, will send a message to our team that we are really serious about this Ryder Cup. "We are ahead of the game this time and it lets potential team members know that we are going to do whatever it takes to put them in the best position to win in 2016." Osezua Osolase, 42, from Gravesend, Kent preyed on poverty-stricken orphans with the promise of a better life, Canterbury Crown Court heard. Judge Adele Williams told him he was devoid of conscience and compassion. Osolase was found guilty of five counts of trafficking, one of rape and one of sexual activity with a child. The jury was told in a six-week trial which ended on Friday that West African "juju rituals" were used to instil terror into Osolase's three vulnerable victims, one aged just 14. The judge said the recycling worker, who has HIV, put his victims "in fear" to force their obedience and secure their silence. "You were dealing in exploitation and manipulation and degradation," she told Osolase. "You are undoubtedly a very, very dishonest man. You are arrogant and manipulative, you are devoid of conscience, devoid of any compassion to your victims." The judge said Osolase treated the girls as objects to be sold as sex slaves. The fact that he raped one girl knowing he had HIV was a "seriously aggravating" feature. It was recommended that Osolase be deported once he has served his sentence. The court had heard girls were trafficked into the UK and taken to Osolase's home in Gravesend before being sent to work as prostitutes in mainland Europe. One of the girls described the Juju ceremony performed on her in Nigeria. During the ritual, samples of blood were extracted from the girl and her head hair and pubic hair were also cut. She was then told to swear an oath of silence. Osolase was stopped at Stansted airport in April 2011 attempting to board a plane. Anthony Orchard QC, defending, said Osolase disclosed that he had HIV voluntarily to police. "Mr Osolase acknowledges and regrets the consequences of his actions in relation to taking the girls out of the UK, and he has to bear the consequences of those actions," Mr Orchard told the court. About 20 patients have received bone marrow transplants using their own stem cells. Some patients who were paralysed have been able to walk again. Prof Basil Sharrack, of Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, said: "To have a treatment which can potentially reverse disability is really a major achievement." Around 100,000 people in the UK have MS, an incurable neurological condition. Most patients are diagnosed in their 20s and 30s. The disease causes the immune system to attack the lining of nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The treatment - known as an autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) - aims to destroy the faulty immune system using chemotherapy. It is then rebuilt with stem cells harvested from the patient's own blood. These cells are at such an early stage they've not developed the flaws that trigger MS. Prof John Snowden, consultant haematologist at Royal Hallamshire Hospital, said: "The immune system is being reset or rebooted back to a time point before it caused MS." About 20 MS patients have been treated in Sheffield in the past three years. Prof Snowden added: "It's clear we have made a big impact on patients' lives, which is gratifying." Multiple sclerosis In MS the protective layer surrounding nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord - known as myelin - becomes damaged. The immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin, causing scarring or sclerosis. The damaged myelin disrupts the nerve signals - rather like the short circuit caused by a frayed electrical cable. If the process of inflammation and scarring is not treated then eventually the condition can cause permanent neurodegeneration. The BBC's Panorama programme was given exclusive access to several patients who have undergone the stem cell transplant. Steven Storey was diagnosed with MS in 2013 and, within a year, went from being an able-bodied athlete to needing a wheelchair and losing sensation in much of his body. He said: "I went from running marathons to needing 24-hour acute care. At one point I couldn't even hold a spoon and feed myself." Within a few days of the transplant he was able to move his toes, and after four months he could stand unaided. Steven still needs a wheelchair but is astounded at his progress: "It's been incredible. I was in a dire place, but now I can swim and cycle and I am determined to walk." Holly Drewry was just 21 when she was diagnosed with MS and her condition deteriorated after she gave birth to her daughter Isla. She said "Within a couple of months I got worse and worse. I couldn't dress or wash myself; I didn't even have the strength to carry my daughter." Holly needed a wheelchair before her transplant, but after the treatment she walked out of hospital. She said: "It's been a miracle. I got my life and my independence back and the future is bright again in terms of being a mum and doing everything with Isla." Two years on she has suffered no relapses and there is no evidence of active disease on her scans. Doctors describe her MS as dormant, but there is hope that the transplant might be a permanent fix. Cost-effective The Royal Hallamshire Hospital - together with hospitals in the United States, Sweden and Brazil - is part of an international trial, MIST, which is assessing the long-term benefits of the stem cell transplant. All those on the trial have relapsing remitting MS, where patients experience attacks - or relapses - followed by periods of remission. The treatment involves intensive chemotherapy, so patients are warned that there are side-effects such as nausea and hair loss. Paul Kirkham, another MS patient, said he was glad to have had the transplant but added: "It does knock you. I'd rather have done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson." The transplant involves a one-off cost of around £30,000, which is comparable to the yearly cost of some MS treatments. Because the procedure involves no new drugs and instead re-purposes an existing therapy using the patient's own cells, there is little profit incentive for drug companies to get involved. Prof Richard Burt, Northwestern University, Chicago carried out the first HSCT for MS as long ago as 1995 and is coordinating the international trial which began in 2006. He said: "There has been resistance to this in the pharma and academic world. This is not a technology you can patent and we have achieved this without industry backing." A study published last year involving MS patients in Chicago showed significant reductions in neurological disability, and for some the improvements persisted for at least four years, although there was no comparative control group. The outcome of the more detailed MIST trial - which will report in a couple of years - could determine whether the stem cell transplant becomes a standard NHS treatment for many MS patients. Dr Emma Gray, head of clinical trials at UK's MS Society , said: "Ongoing research suggests stem cell treatments such as HSCT could offer hope, and it's clear that in the cases highlighted by Panorama they've had a life-changing impact. "However, trials have found that while HSCT may be able to stabilise or improve disability in some people with MS it may not be effective for all types of the condition." Dr Gray said people should be aware it was an "aggressive treatment that comes with significant risks", but called for more research into HSCT so there could be greater understanding of its safety and long term effectiveness. Panorama is broadcast on BBC One at 20:30 on Monday 18 January 2016. By January 2017, there were 19,470 university applicants. This compared to 20,400 by the same period in 2016. However, the proportion of 18-year-old NI university applicants remains the highest in the UK. University applications show 5% fall Almost half of 18-year-olds in Northern Ireland (47.5%) have applied to start a university course this autumn. That contrasts with 37% in England, 33% in Scotland and 32% in Wales. The main percentage falls in university application rates in Northern Ireland have been among older students. Although the numbers involved are relatively small, there has been a 21% decrease in 2017 in the numbers of 25-29 year-old applicants. Among the over-30s there has been a 12% decline in applications. The Ucas admissions figures reflect the January application deadline for university courses starting in September 2017. They also show that many more women apply to university in Northern Ireland than men. For instance, more than 55% of all 18-year-old women (6,580) have applied this year, compared to under 40% (4,920) of 18-year-old men. Veterinary Sciences and Computer Sciences were among the popular subjects that saw the biggest drop in applications. Across the UK, the fall in applications in England of 6% has been three times greater than in Scotland at 2%, while applications from Wales fell most, by 7%. However, there could be an upside for those who are seeking places this year, as long as they are open to taking a place at university across the Irish Sea. Universities in England do not have their student numbers capped, meaning they are likely to be competing to attract students. Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook said this "tough recruitment environment for universities" would mean "unprecedented choice and opportunity for applicants". NUS-USI President Fergal McFerran said the figures were "troubling". "As we face an Assembly election in a matter of weeks I would urge all of our politicians to think carefully about whether their priorities reflect the hopes and aspirations of our citizens. "Our young people are our greatest asset and we desperately need stable, transparent, devolved Government to deliver for them," he added. Children, pregnant women, the sick, the elderly and travellers don't have to fast. The Qur'an, the holy book followed by Muslims, was first revealed during the month of Ramadan. This summer Muslims in the UK are facing the "longest" Ramadan in 33 years, as the holy month coincides with the summer solstice, meaning long days of fasting. At this time of year daylight can last about 16 to 19 hours, depending on your UK location. The month of Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds and spending time with family and friends. At the end of the fast, special meals are served and families and friends get together to break the fast. Many Muslims also go to the mosque to pray. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Because Islam uses the lunar calendar (based on the cycles of the moon), the month of Ramadan comes around 11 days earlier each year, so it isn't a fixed date in the Western/solar calendar. The festival to celebrate the end of Ramadan, and fasting, is called Eid al-Fitr. Often children are given presents and new clothes. Maithripala Sirisena said scenes of local women running on stage to kiss the singer and throwing their underwear at him, was "most uncivilised". He said the organisers should be "whipped with toxic stingray tails" - referring to an ancient punishment. The concert was held in the capital Colombo on 20 December. Mr Sirisena said he had been shocked to hear that during the gig, local women removed their bras in public, threw their underwear at the pop star, or rushed on stage to hug and kiss him. "This is most uncivilised behaviour that goes against our culture," he told a public meeting. "I don't advocate that these uncivilised women who removed their brassieres should be beaten with toxic stingray tails, but those who organised such an event should be." Whipping with the tails of stingrays was reportedly a punishment reserved for hardened criminals in medieval Sri Lanka, and is a popular expression of severe castigation. President Sirisena also complained about the high cost of tickets, which were said to range from 5,000 rupees ($35; £23) to 50,000 rupees ($350; £235). There was no immediate comment from the event's organisers. The concert at a rugby stadium in Colombo was part of the Latin pop star's 'Love and Sex' world tour. Members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union have voted to strike over plans to scrap premium payments for weekend working. The union said it had tried to avoid industrial action but alternative proposals had been "rejected". National Museum Wales said it will be holding consultations with each member of staff affected by the changes. In total, 80% union members voted to take strike action on a 56% turnout. In follows strikes last August where staff at six National Museum Wales sites walked out in a row over pay and pensions cuts. Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum Wales runs seven sites including National Museum Cardiff, National Waterfront Museum in Swansea and the Welsh Slate Museum in Llanberis, Gwynedd. It will feature stars such as Gary Barlow, the cast of hit West End musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Attraction, the winners of this year's Britain's Got Talent. Brit Award winner Olly Murs will also perform on 25 November, with the show set to be screened by ITV in December. Stand-up star Bishop said he "never imagined" he would host the show. "As a child, the Royal Variety Show was like the Grand National and the FA Cup final - it was something our family always watched - the only difference being that we didn't bet on the winner," he said. "I trust my parents will be proud when they take their seats in the audience, although I have told my dad not to shout, 'Come on son.' It's not a match or a horse race!" Dame Edna Everage will take a break from her farewell tour to appear in the variety show, with more acts set to be announced nearer the time. The evening at the London Palladium hopes to feature the best musical performers, theatre, comedy and speciality acts from the UK and abroad, as well as several surprises. The event is staged in aid of the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund - whose patron is the Queen - which helps people from the world of entertainment who are in need of care and assistance. Each year the winner of ITV's Britain's Got Talent gets the chance to perform on the show as part of their prize. This year's competition was won by Hungarian shadow dancers Attraction at the show's grand final in June. At the time judge Simon Cowell said: "It just shows that this country welcomes people from all over the world and they loved this act." Glyn Capper said other aspects of the budget will face a cut of 5.7% or £19.1m. He told the justice committee that the department is receiving an extra £15m for legal aid pressures. More than £12m would also be provided to pay for PSNI and other staff to take voluntary exit. The money will come from the Northern Ireland Public Sector Transformation Fund. Mr Capper told MLAs the PSNI was receiving an additional £32m from the Treasury for security. He said that under the Fresh Start Deal an extra £10m was being provided to combat paramilitary activity and £12m to help build a shared future, and that the department would bid for this funding in the future once more details are agreed. The official said £30m earmarked for bodies dealing with the past would be held centrally until agreement is reached on how the legacy issue will be addressed. Mr Capper told MLAs the Department of Justice has a capital budget of £58m. He said £3.9m of this budget had been earmarked for the proposed emergency services training college at Desertcreat near Cookstown in County Tyrone. Officers detained the 33-year-old on Thursday afternoon and he is being held at a central London police station. The Met Police said the warrant for further detention lasts to Thursday. He is being questioned on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts under section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Police were granted the further extension at a magistrates' court on Saturday. Following the arrest in Cardiff, police searched two houses. Officers said the arrest was a result of an investigation by the MPS Counter Terrorism Command supported by the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit. There was police activity in the Grangetown and Riverside areas of Cardiff on Thursday afternoon but Metropolitan Police refused to confirm if it was linked to the arrest. The BBC understands the arrest is related to alleged Islamist terrorism. Among the highlights was the first printed map of Cornwall from the first county atlas of England and Wales, produced in 1576 during the reign of Elizabeth I. The detailed map was sold for £10,000 against an estimate of £6,000-8,000. Bonhams senior book valuer John Walwyn-Jones said he was "not surprised they attracted so much interest". The maps had been collected over a period of 40 years by Peter Dewhurst who was brought up in Bodmin. He emigrated to Southern California in the 1960s where he has lived ever since. Mr Dewhurst, now in his 70s, said: "I am happy to know that the maps and charts which have given me so much pleasure over the years will be enjoyed and studied by new owners in new places." Mr Walwyn-Jones said: "This was an outstanding collection of maps which had been put together with great care and discrimination." The Bay in Stonehaven topped the 25th National Fish and Chip Awards 2013 in London on Thursday night. Owner Calum Richardson described it as a "massive honour" and a "dream come true". The business stayed open late last year despite being hit by the flood water that caused major damage in Stonehaven. Ten regional champions were finalists. Mr Richardson said: "Over the last few years, we have put so much effort into our business and take pride in what we produce and the service we give our customers. "This is without doubt one of our biggest achievements to date and is a great opportunity for the business to grow. "It is not without the hard work from all the staff, not to mention the support and loyalty shown by our customers and suppliers, which has helped us win this award. "To say we are delighted is an understatement and we can't wait to take both awards back to take pride of place in our shop." The awards, organised by seafood authority Seafish, were hosted by comedian Rory Bremner. Seafish chief executive Paul Williams said: "The competition gets fiercer each year and this year was definitely no exception, with the battle for top shop getting more difficult for the judges to determine. "The exceptionally high standards of entrants across all the award categories demonstrates their continual commitment to the industry and the effort towards sustainability and protecting the industry so future generations can enjoy Britain's favourite dish." Plaid Cymru obtained the email sent two weeks before ministers refused a request for support after a due-diligence process. The Welsh Government had been asked to underwrite £210m of investment. Economy Secretary Ken Skates said the government had held weekly meetings with developers. Meanwhile, Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies has separately demanded a public inquiry into the project. A senior official emailed Aviva Investors on 14 June saying they had spoken to lawyers about complying with EU state aid rules. He wrote: "The good news is that at the moment there does not appear to be any showstoppers but there is one point that I would like to discuss with you in relation to deal structure." The Welsh Government was asked to underwrite £210m of Aviva's investment in the Circuit of Wales, which meant the taxpayer would pick up the bill if the project failed. But Welsh Government officials said it became apparent "in the last couple of weeks" that the true cost could be far higher. Based on advice from the Treasury and Office for National Statistics, the Welsh Government said there was a "very significant risk" that all the £373m of the project's debt would be classed as capital spending. That would be removed from the budget over three years - funding that could otherwise be spent on schools, homes or hospitals. Ministers said a £100m automotive business park would be built instead. Speaking in the Senedd, Plaid AM Adam Price, who obtained the email, said: "Are we really led to believe that the government was not aware of the balance sheet issue on 14 June, but that became the mother of all showstoppers just 13 days later?" Tuesday's decision against the Circuit of Wales by the cabinet follows scrutiny of the plans as part of a due diligence process which started in February. Replying to Mr Price, Mr Skates said it was only through due diligence "that we were able to then go to [the Office for National Statistics] and Her Majesty's Treasury and be able to assess the risk in the way that it's weighted and the likelihood of it being on balance". "In terms of the note that he mentions concerning Aviva and the way that there appears to be at the moment 'no showstoppers', well the whole point of due diligence is that you strip away all of what appears to be the case and you actually get to the facts and then the facts are scrutinised accordingly." Civil servants had held weekly meetings with the Heads of the Valleys Development Company "to ensure that every opportunity is given to make this project workable", he added. But Labour's Blaenau Gwent AM Alun Davies said while there was a "great deal of disappointment... if the sums don't add up, they don't add up". He told BBC Radio Wales investment in the £100m business park was needed straight away. "It's crucial we create jobs and an economy where local people can benefit from these opportunities," Mr Davies added. "This can't be a promise made to be fulfilled in another decade." Welsh Conservative leader Mr Davies said: "The Circuit of Wales project is a Welsh Government branded bungling of historic proportions." He added: "The people of Wales, particularly the forlorn citizens of Ebbw Vale, deserve answers after so many years of clinging to hope where there was none. "Serious questions remain and only an independent public inquiry can bring satisfactory answers." Martin Whitaker, the Circuit of Wales' chief executive he was "hugely disappointed and saddened" by the Welsh Government decision. "We strongly disagree with the decision and the rationale behind it," he said in a statement. The Circuit of Wales team said they are still studying the details of the announcement "before deciding on our next course of action". The young Afghan national was one of the few members of his family to escape death at the hands of the Taleban. But three years after fleeing Kabul, the 24-year-old Muslim was killed by a suicide bomber on a Piccadilly Line train at Russell Square. A resident of Hounslow in west London, Mr Sharifi had been studying English at West Thames College since September 2002, where he drew praise from staff. He worked in a pizza take-away in his spare time to send money back to his younger sister still in Afghanistan. Both of their parents had perished in the Kabul war. His college tutor, Harminder Ubhie, described Mr Sharifi as a highly-motivated student who could make the others laugh. "He was a delight to have in the group," she said. "From the first month I knew I could push this student. I knew he would be one of our high achievers. "I admired him for his dedication to come to my classes. He said it was because I was an excellent teacher and he was learning so much." She said he had a "youthful and energetic nature" and helped new members of the group to settle in. And his college principal, Thalia Marriott, pointed to the "deep irony" that Mr Sharifi had left his native Afghanistan to seek safety in the UK "only to find his fate at the hands of extremists here". When Afghan President Hamid Karzai later visited the victims' memorial garden at King's Cross station, he paid tribute to Mr Sharifi, laying a floral tribute of white roses and standing in silence. But it was Mr Sharifi's sole surviving close relative, his sister Farishta, who described most clearly the impact of his loss. She said in a statement to the 7 July victims' inquests: "He was not just a brother, he was also my friend and I still miss his telephone calls. "He was also protective of me, not just sending money home, but also making sure that he shouldered life's difficult responsibilities because he did not want me to worry about any concerns that he had or problems that he faced. "I feel that Atique's greatest achievement in life is the respect that he earned from all those who knew him during his lifetime and the good name he left for himself after his death." The Quins skipper is a leading contender to captain England in the upcoming Six Nations. Evans told BBC London 94.9: "He's Richie McCaw-like, in the way that he leads by example. "He's not one of those guys that will mouth off but he leads by example round the field." Media playback is not supported on this device The former All Blacks international continued: "He's one of those guys that you need in the pack when things are going tough. He's always the guy that puts his hand up. "He showed that especially in the Northampton game on Friday. He really stood out even though we were going backwards." Robshaw has been named alongside team-mates Joe Marler, Jordan Turner-Hall and Mike Brown in England's 32-man elite player squad for the Six Nations. Harlequins are preparing for Saturday's Heineken Cup match against Gloucester, having won the reverse fixture 28-9 at Kingsholm in November. Evans said: "We've parked the Premiership for a while, top of the table there, so looking forward to a couple of really exciting games in the Heineken Cup and hopefully set ourselves up for a quarter-final if we can. "Every year you come across a team you play lots. Last season it seemed to be Wasps and this season it seems to be Gloucester. I think both teams will know each other inside out. "We're really looking forward to getting back to the Stoop, seven of our last 10 games have been away so we're looking forward to getting back there and taking on a team that will be smarting after losing to Worcester." You can hear more from Nick Evans and Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea on "The Scrum" on BBC London 94.9FM on Thursday at 2100 GMT. (Also available on iPlayer and London Rugby Union Podcast) Laverty's performance earned him two more championship points as he remained in 12th place in the series. He will quit MotoGP at the end of the season and return to World Superbikes, competing on an Aprilia machine. Crutchlow became the first British rider to win the Australian Grand Prix as he held off Valentino Rossi. Marc Marquez, who has already secured this year's championship, crashed out while holding a big lead on lap 10 which allowed Crutchlow to clinch his second win of the season after his triumph in the Czech Republic. Crutchlow finished over four seconds ahead of Rossi with Spain's Maverick Vinales completing the podium positions. "It's nice to win one in the wet and the dry because people only think you can ride in the rain when you win in it," said the Englishman. Media playback is not supported on this device A 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday means United have won just two of their last seven league games. They are fourth in the standings, three points behind leaders Manchester City. "Losing two in a row is disappointing, now we have to stay in a position to keep fighting," said Van Gaal. "We now have to win three matches in a row to still be up there after Christmas." Listen as a Man Utd fan defends Louis van Gaal on 606. Media playback is not supported on this device United, without a win in their last five games in all competitions, host Norwich next Saturday before travelling to Stoke on Boxing Day and then entertaining Chelsea on 28 December. Leicester, second in table and with a game in hand over United, host Jose Mourinho's side on Monday and a win for the Foxes would leave Van Gaal's side five points off the top. Asked if United can still challenge for the title, the Dutchman added: "We have the selection to do that, but we are in a very difficult position because of injuries. "We have to play a lot of youngsters, who have played well, but we have to make a revival because we have lost two matches in a row." Bournemouth's goals both game from set-pieces, which Van Gaal described as "unacceptable". However, he praised the attitude of his players, who he believes are firmly behind him. "You have to perform in a certain way," he added. "I was pleased with what I saw in the first half. "For me the most important thing is the commitment of my players to perform as we have agreed and I can only tell they want to do that." Aston Villa 1-3 Everton Bournemouth 2-0 Southampton Leicester City 2-2 West Bromwich Albion Norwich 1-2 Chelsea Sunderland 2-2 Crystal Palace There has been an outbreak of a virus at one of the official team hotels where they are staying. Public Health England says 30 athletes and support staff have been affected. Botswana's Isaac Makwala withdrew from Monday's 200m heats after he was unwell and he was stopped from competing in the 400m final by event organisers. Tummy bugs are common and can cause diarrhoea and sickness. You can catch them from eating contaminated food or through contact with people who have already got one. If that infected person doesn't wash their hands before handling food or touching objects and surfaces that other people then touch, there's a good chance they could get sick too. The illness is not generally dangerous and most people make a full recovery within one to two days. The zone centres over the site known as the "ammunition wreck" and has a 500m (1,640ft) radius underwater and a 200m (660ft) radius at the surface. The underwater zone means a ban on anchoring, diving and trawling, while the surface ban prohibits vessels. Channel Island ferry operations are expected to be able to continue. Four yellow buoys with orange flashing lights have been put around the area. The Guernsey Coastguard set up the exclusion zone after the Guernsey Harbour Divers alerted the Royal Navy to a suspicious looking object outside the pier heads. This was spotted last week at the wreck site, about 600m (1,970ft) east of the harbour. Navy experts subsequently advised an exclusion zone be created. Ch Insp Nigel Taylor of Guernsey Police said the force's bomb team would be working closely with the Navy over the next few days to make sure the bomb was disposed of safely. Guernsey Harbourmaster Capt Peter Gill said the exclusion zone would have "a limited effect" on smaller boats as there was plenty of room for them to come and go while avoiding the exclusion zone. However, he admitted larger vessels such as passenger ferries would have "limited options". The Royal Navy's dive team is expected to arrive on the island on Tuesday to inspect the device. The actress, who lost a son in 2009 after 21 weeks, plays Michelle Connor, who will lose her baby at 23 weeks. Marsh said she thought "long and hard" about taking on the storyline. But she said she felt it was "an important story to tell to raise awareness of something which affects thousands of women every year". She added: "It is obviously a cause very close to my heart, having lost my beautiful Archie at 21 weeks and five days." The storyline will explore how the death affects both the parents and their extended families. Marsh said she was "proud" of the scenes they have filmed but admitted she found them difficult. "I have had to go to some very dark places in my mind whilst filming these heartbreaking scenes but my family, friends and colleagues have been incredible. "Losing a child is something that never leaves you so to revisit those feelings as Michelle has been challenging." She said Coronation Street ensured she had a counsellor on set "at all times to go to after filming". She added: "For me the best tonic after a hugely emotional day was to go home to my kids and be reminded of how lucky I am to have them." Coronation Street producer Kate Oates said she hoped the programme would "encourage discussion, understanding and compassion for those viewers affected by the loss of a baby". The stillbirth charity Sands has worked with the ITV soap on the storyline. Erica Stewart, the charity's bereavement specialist, said she hoped that "with a TV drama as popular as Coronation Street covering this heartbreaking experience, it will help to lift the taboo, and raise awareness of all the issues that surround the death of a baby." The episode will air in the week beginning 9 January. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The amount also fell short of analyst expectations of €476m. Its Asian sales fell 3% in the time period with much of the decline coming from the Hong Kong and Macau markets. "Results in the region were hit by the negative performances recorded in Hong Kong and Macau," Prada said in a statement on Monday. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for more than a third - over 35% - of the group's sales, making it Prada's biggest market. A combination of a clampdown on corruption by the Chinese government, and pro-democracy protests closing down major roads in Hong Kong, leading to the decline in the number of mainland Chinese tourists, has led to several retailers reporting a slump in sales. In other major markets like Europe, Prada sales fell nearly 5%. The losses were given a boost by sales growing slightly in North America and Japan, where sales jumped nearly 8%. The company has said that it would have to cut costs and open fewer stores than they had planned because of the results. Media playback is not supported on this device The Australian replaced Liam Lindsay in the starting line-up 10 minutes before kick-off due to the latter's hamstring injury. "Ryan's always ready to go and we trust him on the pitch," said Archibald. "He fitted in perfectly. He had a good game up to his goal and gave us a great bit of energy in the final third." Edwards' headed winner in front of the travelling support was the former Reading midfielder's first senior goal. It followed Mathias Pogba's equaliser after Greg Docherty had given Accies an early lead. "We've had a poor record of late at Hamilton so we're delighted to get the victory having gone a goal down," Archibald told BBC Scotland. "It's massive to get that three points going into the international break. We've had six games in 18 or 19 days so we've got a lot of weary legs in there. "Liam Lindsay did the warm-up and felt his hamstring so we had to reshuffle a bit and I think it affected us for the first goal - we weren't quite set up right. "But the lads showed great character to come back from it. I don't think we handled Hamilton first-half, for the first 25 minutes especially, but we got the hang of it. "We knew that if we had a wee bit of guile in the final third then we could score goals." It is six months to the day, meanwhile, since Accies' last win at New Douglas Park and for a long time it looked like that unenviable record would end in front of an improved 3,055 crowd. Hamilton player-manager Martin Canning was left frustrated by the defeat. "First-half we're 1-0 up and comfortable in the game," he said. "Second-half we conceded a poor goal and from there I don't think we competed well enough. "I don't think our goalkeeper had a save to make; it's two crosses into the box and we lose two goals from it, which at any level is poor. "Home form should be good enough that we're able to go and win games. "All our quality players are on the park and I'm asking them to just go and play; enjoy the game, get your foot on it and play. We didn't do it well enough. "I don't know if conceding the goal unsettled us but that's going to happen in football; you're going to concede and you've got to go and believe in yourself." Melanie Hall, 25, was last seen leaving a nightclub in Bath in 1996. Her remains were found near the M5 in 2009. Steve and Pat Hall hope the reward will yield "crucial" information. Mr Hall said: "We believe we're in touching distance of a significant breakthrough and feel it's the right time to offer a substantial reward." Mr Hall, Melanie's father, said he hopes "someone who knows a crucial piece of information" will have the "moral fibre" to contact the police. "Melanie's murder has had a terrible impact on our family and I know my wife Pat is tortured by what happened to our daughter and will never get over it," he said. "Someone may have been wavering over whether to provide information for a long time. This amount of money is life-changing and I hope it will provide the incentive for them to do the right thing." Miss Hall, who worked at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, was last seen on a night out with friends at Cadillacs nightclub on 9 June 1996. A black bin liner containing her bones and skull was found by a workman clearing vegetation next to a slip-road at junction 14 of the M5, near Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, on 5 October 2009. Det Supt Andy Bevan, said forensic scientists were still in the process of developing a DNA profile from an item found near her remains "There's no doubt this brings us an important step closer to finding her killer," he said. "Someone out there has a very dark and terrible secret, which is getting closer to being revealed." Nine people have been arrested in connection with the case since the investigation began, but no-one has been charged. The reward is for information provided to the police which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Ms Hall's murder. Bijan Ebrahimi was beaten to death and set alight on a Bristol estate amid false claims he was a paedophile. The IPCC said he had been treated "consistently differently from his neighbours" in what could be "racial bias, conscious or unconscious". Avon and Somerset's police chief said "we failed him in his hour of need". Mr Ebrahimi's sisters, Mojgan Kahayatian and Manisha Moores, said the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) report showed "how terrible a life he had during those last few years". Mr Ebrahimi was killed by his neighbour Lee James in Brislington in July 2013. Three days before his death, police arrested Mr Ebrahimi following complaints he had taken pictures of children near his home. However nothing suspicious was found and he was released without charge. These false allegations led to what Mr Justice Simon called during James's sentencing "a vigilante crime" and "an act of murderous injustice". During the fatal attack, James repeatedly stamped on the victim's head shouting "have some of that". Evidence gathered by the IPCC uncovered "poor responses" by police for at least seven years before the murder and repeated failures to protect him or record crimes against him. In 73 of the calls Mr Ebrahimi made between 2007 and 2013, he reported incidents of racial abuse, criminal damage and threats to kill. But police failed to record crimes on at least 40 occasions, the watchdog said. The report also found there was "consistent systematic failure" by call handlers, who breached standards on recording crimes, identifying hate offences and repeat victims. IPCC commissioner Jan Williams said: "Bijan Ebrahimi self-identified as a victim of race hate crime, but was never recognised as a repeat victim of abuse who needed help. "Instead, his complaints about abusive neighbours were disbelieved and he was considered to be a liar, a nuisance and an attention seeker." His sister Mojgan said the family had been "devastated" by his death and the police had "failed" him. "It was so hard to see Bijan all these years suffering and his voice never listened to," she said. "He was always waiting on police, he was thinking it's their duty to care for him and protect him so he didn't think it was up to us. "He never gave up and he always thought he was in a country that police was there to protect people and he couldn't see anything beyond that." Reports Mr Ebrahimi made to police 2007 - 9 reports made, the number recorded as a crime is unknown 2008 - 21 reports, 7 recorded as a crime 2009 - 18 reports, 8 recorded as a crime 2010 - 11 reports, 3 recorded as a crime 2011 - 5 reports, 4 recorded as a crime 2012 - 7 reports, 3 recorded as a crime 2013 - 2 reports, 0 recorded as a crime Ms Williams said police accepted the neighbours' versions of events at face value and viewed Mr Ebrahimi as the culprit rather than the victim. She described Mr Ebrahimi's faith in the force despite their repeated rejection of his version of events, as a "sad, poignant fact". The commissioner added: "We found evidence that Bijan Ebrahimi had been treated consistently differently from his neighbours, to his detriment and without reasonable explanation. "Some of the evidence has the hallmarks of what could be construed as racial bias, conscious or unconscious." PC Kevin Duffy and PCSO Andrew Passmore were jailed last year for misconduct over their dealings with Mr Ebrahimi. They and two other police officers were also dismissed from the force. Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: "We failed [Mr Ebrahimi] in his hour of need and I am unreservedly sorry for the pain his family have suffered in the last four years. "Some of these failings were systematic but it's important to acknowledge that the actions of a very small number of individuals had a catastrophic effect." Bristol's elected mayor, Marvin Rees said this was "a horrific case which highlighted the need for many things to change". He said the city council is "very sorry for any shortcomings that are identified". Mr Rees added he had been assured the council's current practice "meets the needs of vulnerable people" and that the authority would be looking "very closely" at the IPCC report. Timeline of Ebrahimi case Avon and Somerset Police has since implemented changes across its systems relating to culture, anti-social behaviour and vulnerability. Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said: "There is nothing that can do justice to the collective failure to protect Mr Ebrahimi and to treat him as a victim of hate crime. "Over the past four years I am satisfied that the constabulary has recognised the mistakes that were made and put in place wide-reaching changes which are already embedded today." James Forrest's stunning second-half strike in Trondheim sealed a 1-0 victory on aggregate over Rosenborg. The Scottish champions will face Astana, Qarabag, Rijeka, Hapoel Beer Sheva or Slavia Prague. "We look forward to anybody we get. On our day, we'll beat anybody. We saw that last season," Griffiths said. Griffiths, who came on as a substitute in the second half against Rosenborg, praised makeshift striker Forrest for an "outstanding display". "He showed on Saturday against Sunderland that he deserved his place up front," Griffiths told BBC Scotland. "He did well. The goal went in, he could've had another one if he had dinked the goalie but we got the winner, that's all that matters. "We've got that big a squad that the manager will be thinking of players to rotate and keep fresh for the Champions League. We've got a massive game Saturday - our league opener [against Hearts] - and we will go and put on a show." Media playback is not supported on this device Asked about where he would rate his winner in Norway in career-terms, Forrest said: "I've scored a few but it (the goal) is definitely up there. Last week (the first leg) was a bit frustrating with 0-0 at home, but I thought the boys came out here and we had a good performance. "To score away from home in Europe and to score the winner - it doesn't get much better. "To see it go in the back of the net, you can't get anything better. Griff [Leigh Griffiths] came on and did well - I'm just buzzing we got through. "The way we play, Rosenborg showed us a lot of respect the way they sat back in both games because they know we can hurt teams." Celtic will be seeded in Friday's play-off round draw and manager Brendan Rodgers is expecting another stern test. "When the draw comes it's going to be one of those anxious moments again at some point over the two legs," Rodgers said. "Whoever we get, it will be a tough game but my focus is now on Hearts [in the Premiership on Saturday]."

The 24-year-old, from Cardiff, became the first Welsh boxer to win a silver medal by reaching the welterweight final at London 2012. Evans also won gold at the 2011 European Amateur Boxing Championships in Ankara. "I reached the top as an amateur and I'm looking forward to doing the same as a pro," he said. Evans' move into the professional ranks comes three months after Wales' most decorated amateur boxer, Andrew Selby, also gave up his unpaid status. Both have signed with Bristol-based manager Chris Sanigar, who also represents IBF featherweight world champion Lee Selby, and will be trained by Tony Borg. "Signing Fred Evans was something I have wanted to do for a long time," said Sanigar. "I've followed Fred throughout his amateur career and he always stood out. He has a style that suits the pro game and I believe that he can go a long way." Evans is currently serving a two-year suspended prison sentence for unlawfully wounding friend Michael Wilson after they had been drinking at a Gloucestershire pub for "several hours". He was refused accreditation to compete for Wales at the 2014 Commonwealth Games following checks by the Home Office and Games officials. Evans added: "Signing with Chris and training with Tony [Borg] was always my first choice seeing the success of Lee Selby and other Welsh boxers."

Olympic silver medallist Fred Evans has turned professional, ruling himself out of competing at the 2016 Rio Games.

She listens to stories with them and even lets them practice their teeth brushing skills on her. Leah's been looking into why Miss Minnie is such a hit with the kids. Daley, who claimed an individual berth with World Championship bronze in 2015, scored 446.40 with Goodfellow at the World Cup to finish third. Freddie Woodward earned GB a second individual 3m springboard Olympic place by reaching the semi-finals. Team GB now has 10 Rio diving spots. Georgia Ward, who attained an individual 10m platform berth on Saturday, achieved a career-best result by reaching her first final at a major event. Daley finished fourth alongside now retired Peter Waterfield at the London 2012 Olympics, but told the BBC last year he would not contest the synchronised event unless he believed there was a genuine chance of winning a Rio medal. He and Goodfellow decided to pair up at the end of 2015 and showed some potential in their competitive debut together at the National Cup in Southend in January. Their performance in Rio was much improved - only bettered by gold medallists China and runners-up Germany. With another five months of training before the Olympics, they will be confident of being in medal contention given the event will only feature eight nations. With Jack Laugher having secured Team GB an individual 3m springboard place by winning bronze at the 2015 World Championships, it was left to his diving partner Chris Mears and Freddie Woodward to secure Britain a second berth. A poor second round dive ruined Mears' prospects, but Woodward produced six impressive routines to reach the semi-finals and attain the Olympic standard. There was also 3m springboard success for former British divers Yona Knight-Wisdom and Oliver Dingley. Knight-Wisdom is set to become Jamaica's first-ever male Olympic diver after qualifying his nation a place, while Dingley claimed a Rio berth for Ireland. The Team GB diving squad for Rio 2016 will not be revealed until after the Olympic trials in June. In Nantes, protesters clashed with security forces. In Paris police fired tear gas at demonstrators outside the National Assembly. Earlier, the cabinet approved using special powers to pass the changes without parliamentary approval. France's Socialist government says the reforms are essential to help cut high levels of unemployment. Two centre-right opposition parties have called a vote of no confidence in the government to be held on Thursday. The changes to the labour laws make it easier for employers to hire and fire but opponents fear they will also enable employers to bypass workers' rights on pay, overtime and breaks. President Francois Hollande has faced months of resistance to the bill from students, unions and even members of his own Socialist Party. Busting the myth of France's 35-hour working week Demonstrators outside the National Assembly called for President Hollande to resign. Protests continued into the night. Police used tear gas against protesters in Grenoble and Montpellier, reports from social media say. There were also demonstrations in Lille, Tours and Marseille. In Toulouse two young protesters were injured in clashes with police, according to Le Parisien (in French). The decision to invoke an article of the constitution to force through the reforms was made after the government failed to reach a compromise on the bill with a group of rebel Socialist MPs. This tactic has only been used once before under President Hollande, again to push though disputed economic reforms. Prime Minister Manuel Valls was booed by MPs from the far left and the conservative opposition when he announced the cabinet's decision to the National Assembly. "Pursuing the debate in parliament would pose the risk of... abandoning the compromise that we have built," he said. The only way the bill can now be stopped is by the motion of censure - a vote of no confidence - that was filed by two right-wing parties on Tuesday. Between them they have 226 of the 288 votes needed to topple the government on Thursday. However, correspondents say they are unlikely to find enough left-wing MPs willing to support them. Fresh protests are set to be held on Thursday to coincide with the confidence vote. Nicholas: "The government is forcing through this law, so we decided to come here. We are not stuck in one place, we are everywhere where it matters. We want to show that people have a voice." Anais, 31, student: "I'm here for real democracy. Without repression." Benoit Coquin, 26: "I think that it's a law that's beginning to destroy the structure of working rights." World number three Murray had to play on to a second day after the contest was rained off at 4-4 on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Scot went a break down in the second set but recovered and faces Gilles Muller of Luxembourg next. "It was tricky conditions, very windy, completely different to yesterday. When the shadow came across it became hard to pick up the ball," said Murray. "I lost my timing in the middle of the second set but came up with some good shots towards the end. "I feel much better on the court. I am hitting my backhand better and it forced Tommy to slice the ball. Then I could dictate the points. It wasn't something I could do early on in the year." Should Murray reach the final in Montreal he will replace Swiss Roger Federer as number two in the world rankings. He last held the position - the highest of his career - in 2013. Third seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland went out after withdrawing with a back injury as he trailed Australian Nick Kyrgios in the third set. Croatian US Open champion Marin Cilic also lost, beaten 6-3 6-4 by Bernard Tomic of Australia. Fourteenth-seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria was beaten 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 by unseeded American Jack Sock, who now plays top seed Novak Djokovic. Spanish seventh seed Rafael Nadal beat Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky 7-6 (7-4) 6-3, while fourth seed Kei Nishikori of Japan went through with a 6-3 6-3 win over Spain's Pablo Andujar. The FA allege that the 57-year-old's words were "improper and/or brought the game into disrepute" after he expressed "surprise" at Madley's appointment. The Spaniard has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday to respond to the charge. The former Liverpool boss could face a £2,000 fine if found guilty by the FA. Benitez's comments came in a pre-match press conference where he questioned Huddersfield-born Madley taking charge of the game, when Huddersfield Town still had a chance of beating the Magpies to second spot in the Championship. Newcastle went on to win the game against North End 4-1 and clinch promotion to the Premier League. "I was really surprised with the assignation, but we have to trust the referees," Benitez had said. "I know it's a difficult job. Hopefully everything will be fine and nobody will be talking about the referee at the end of the game." He faces a vote of no confidence on Thursday after controversial budget cuts which threaten 600 jobs. Business leader Nigel Roberts said Mr Bale was an "embarrassment" and an email from fellow Labour councillor Ralph Cook called for him to step down. Mr Bale dismissed much of the criticism as being of a "deeply personal" nature. He told BBC Radio Wales on Tuesday: "I have got the confidence of colleagues - I feel very comfortable in going into that meeting [on Thursday]. "I think we have to recognise with the general election coming up we will see some politics around this issue but the most important thing for me now is that we focus back on the city." A leaked email from Mr Cook called for Mr Bale to step down to avoid putting the Labour Party "through any more trauma", claiming he and 12 rebels would disobey an order to vote against the motion of no confidence. Mr Bale was elected leader by the ruling Labour group in May 2014 after Heather Joyce stepped down for family reasons. The one-vehicle collision happened on the B852 between Dores and Inverfarigaig, part of General Wade's Military Road. Police were informed of the collision shortly before 12:40. The road was closed while an investigation took place. The man's next-of-kin have been informed. Lady Justice Macur began taking evidence in 2013 about the Waterhouse inquiry which published its findings in 2000. It looked into the abuse of children in care between 1974 and 1996. The Ministry of Justice said the Macur Review would be considered with a view to publication as soon as possible. Leon Briggs, 38, from Luton, died after being held following concerns about his behaviour in the town on Monday. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it believed "that potential criminal offences may have been committed". The offences could include negligence or manslaughter, it said. IPCC Commissioner Mary Cunneen said: "Following a review of the evidence gathered so far, I have determined that this will be a criminal investigation. We are still in the early stages of this investigation and it is important that we do not pre-judge the findings. "However, at this stage we believe there is an indication that potential criminal offences may have been committed including gross negligence and/or unlawful act manslaughter, misconduct in public office, and/or offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. "We will also be considering whether any potential disciplinary offences have been committed." Members of the public raised the alarm when they became worried about Mr Briggs's behaviour in Marsh Road, Luton, and he was taken into custody. Ms Cuneen said: "IPCC investigators have obtained and reviewed CCTV from the custody suite at Luton police station and at the junction of Marsh Road and Willow Way. "A number of independent witnesses have been identified, accounts have been taken and IPCC investigators will continue to interview witnesses over the coming days. Local businesses have also provided CCTV footage to assist our investigation. "But we still believe there are a number of other people who may have seen Leon on Monday and we are keen to speak to them, particularly if you were in the Marsh Road area or outside Luton police station." Anyone with information is asked to contact the IPCC investigation team. Mr Briggs' family issued a statement saying: "Leon was a loving father, son and brother. He was a kind, loyal, intelligent, caring person who put his family and others first. "It is important to us to see the seriousness with which the IPCC are approaching the investigation into Leon's death." The team beat the Island Sailing Club from Cowes in the annual cricket contest held on Bramble Bank. David Mead, Vice Commodore of the Royal Southern Yacht Club, said more than 150 people watched the match, which lasted 30 minutes before the tide returned. The teams take turns to win the match, which was first played in the 1950s. Mr Mead said: "I've never seen such a big turn out in all my time at the Bramble Bank cricket match. It was unbelievable. "A good time was had by all and the weather was beautiful." The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 25 civilians had been killed in strikes on a road near the town of Latamina overnight. It also reported rebel gains to the south, near Maardis, 11km (seven miles) from the provincial city of Hama. But state media said army operations in the area had left 50 "terrorists" dead. Troops and allied militiamen had been involved in heavy clashes near Suran and al-Buwaida - both just to the north of Maardis - and destroyed a number of tanks, a military source told the official Sana news agency. "Concentrated strikes" had also targeted "terrorist gatherings" outside nearby Taibat al-Imam, killing several people, the source added. The Syrian Observatory said the rebel offensive, which began on Tuesday, was the biggest co-ordinated operation in Hama province since 2014. It involves the jihadist group Jund al-Aqsa and factions fighting under the banner of the Western-backed Free Syrian Army, according to one of the FSA groups. Sana's report did not mention any territorial losses, but if the rebels were to take control of Hama or the north-south motorway it sits on, they would sever a major government supply line. Local activist Ahmed al-Ahmed told the Associated Press that the government's forces around Hama might have been weakened by its decision to send reinforcements to the divided northern city of Aleppo, where fighting has escalated. The humanitarian adviser to the UN special envoy for Syria said on Thursday that it was urgent a 48-hour "humanitarian pause" in Aleppo be agreed so that supplies of food and medicine could be delivered safely to the city's rebel-held east and government-controlled west. "We were informed today that there are now 4,000 food rations left, that would be enough for 20,000 people and the population of east Aleppo is a quarter of a million," Jan Egeland said. The UN envoy, Staffan de Mistura, said discussions on the humanitarian pause, as well as a wider cessation of hostilities, were currently taking place in Geneva between "very senior military, security and diplomatic officials" from Russia and the US, which support Syria's government and opposition respectively. Mr de Mistura also expressed concern at the government's apparent "strategy" of besieging and bombarding rebel-held areas until their civilian populations surrender, a week after the 6,000 remaining residents of the Damascus suburb of Darayya struck a deal to be evacuated. There were "indications that after Darayya we may have other Darayyas", Mr de Mistura warned, pointing to the government's sieges of al-Wair, a suburb of the central city of Homs, and Muadhamiya, another suburb of Damascus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 90.93 points, or 0.51%, to 17,919.69. The Nasdaq gained 17.98 points, or 0.39%, reaching 5,145.13, while the S&P 500 index added 5.82 points, or 0.28%, to finish at 2,109.87. Shares in Chevron rose 3.4% and Exxon Mobil was 1.8% higher after oil prices climbed, with Brent crude approaching $50 a barrel. Oil prices rose following news of a strike by oil workers in Brazil, the world's ninth largest producer. Brent crude rose 1.57% to $50.36 a barrel, while US crude was 3.81% higher at $47.90. New car sales were up in the month of October, with most carmakers reporting double-digit growth. General Motors shares were up 0.28% after it reported 16% sales growth in the month compared with 2014. Shares in Candy Crush Saga maker King Digital Entertainment jumped nearly 15% after Activision Blizzard agreed to buy the company for $5.9bn. Shares in Activision rose 3.62%. It started out in 1995 as a maker of rechargeable batteries with just 25 employees. Its batteries soon became standard parts for a large number of the world's mobile phones, and it rapidly expanded into cars and solar energy. By 2009, founder Wang Chuanfu was China's richest man with a net worth estimated at $5.8bn (£3.6bn) and the firm employed some 150,000 people. World renowned investor Warren Buffett also bought a near 10% stake in the firm. In less than two decades BYD had come from nowhere to become one of the largest firms in China. And then it suddenly faltered. Profits fell sharply and in 2011 it was forced to lay off significant numbers of its car sales staff. "In 2008 and 2009, the growth rate of China's car market almost reached 40%, disguising our problems in retailing. As the growth rate slowed down, we had to face those problems," says Mr Wang. He admits the firm "grew too fast". Its decision to move into cars meant it had to switch from selling its products to other companies, to selling directly to consumers - a completely different proposition. It opened too many dealer networks too quickly, many of which made a loss. Getting its rate of expansion right took three years to fix, but Mr Wang says the firm is now back on track. "It was a good path, [I] just had to persevere through it," he says. While it's easy to suggest this is hubris getting its just reward, in China, this extraordinary rate of expansion - or hyper growth - is relatively common. When the Chinese government began to open up the economy in the 1980s, it rocketed from a small emerging economy to a heavyweight, growing many times faster than its western rivals. Yet as BYD demonstrates, such rapid expansion makes it hard for some companies to adapt quickly enough. "Once a company is in hyper growth mode it's important not to lose sight of what made the firm a success in the first place," says leadership expert Steve Tappin. Victor Koo, chief executive of video-sharing giant Youku Tudou, often dubbed China's YouTube, has seen dramatic changes since it launched in 2006. Initially, its users were accessing content almost entirely on desktop computers, now more than 60% of users access content via their mobiles. To ensure its firm could react quickly enough to take advantage of the rapid changes, its philosophy used to be "do before we say and think before we do". But now, Mr Koo says, that is just not fast enough. As a result, it has shaken up its organisational structure to create "quick task teams" which work across different departments, can brainstorm ideas and come up with new ways of doing things. "If you overthink it or you spend too much time thinking about it the opportunity has already passed. And as you experiment [and] explore, your strategies actually formulate themselves. Don't sit still". For an eight-year old firm like Youku Tudou, where ways of working are less established, it can be easier to embrace a more flexible approach, but for older firms it's often harder to shake up the status quo. Online media company Sina Corporation was established 15 years ago and listed on the Nasdaq, the US technology exchange, soon after. This year it listed Weibo - its Twitter-like micro-blogging service - on the Nasdaq in a separate listing. Chairman Charles Chao says that because Weibo was part of Sina, its value and the fact that it was growing much faster than its existing businesses, had not been recognised by investors. The separate listing was aimed at addressing this. But right from the very outset, he says they tried to keep the businesses separate, because Weibo was a very different business to Sina and he didn't want the original company to hold back innovation at the new firm. "I don't think there's a scientific way or a bible you can follow in terms of how to run a high growth company. Our approach is that we separate, we try to create a system that more resembles start-up companies." Deng Feng, chair of Northern Light Venture Capital, a Chinese venture capital firm, says ultimately what can help firms survive or even thrive in a period of rapid expansion is having the right internal culture. He started his own firm in Silicon Valley at the end of 1997 and listed it on the stock exchange just four years later. Despite its ultimate success, he said during the four years there were three occasions when it was close to collapse, due to key people leaving and because at times it had "no money in the bank". At one point it was acquired by another firm which subsequently collapsed. In the end, it managed to get out of the acquisition. "Head hunters tried to recruit them [the staff]. Here, the Chinese culture actually helped. The key engineers that were Chinese, they stayed together and they helped the company and we solved the problem," Mr Deng says. This feature is based on interviews by leadership expert Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig. Politicians across the Continent have been questioning the impact on the Brexit talks. Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the European Commission, said he wanted discussions to proceed without delay. "As far as the Commission is concerned we can open negotiations tomorrow morning at half past nine," he said. "First we have to agree on the divorce and exit modalities, and then we have to envisage the architecture of our future relations. I do hope that the result of the elections will have no major impact on the negotiations we are desperately waiting for." Sweden's former Prime Minister Carl Bildt, who now chairs the European Council on Foreign Relations think-tank, called the outcome "messy". "One mess risks following another. Price to be paid for lack of true leadership," he tweeted. Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt, who is president of the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament, had caustic words for Mrs May. "Yet another own goal, after Cameron now May, will make already complex negotiations even more complicated," he tweeted. Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator for Brexit, had a more conciliatory message. "#Brexit negotiations should start when UK is ready; timetable and EU positions are clear. Let's put our minds together on striking a deal," he said. European Council President Donald Tusk alluded to the March 2019 deadline for Brexit talks. "We don't know when Brexit talks start. We know when they must end. Do your best to avoid a 'no deal' as result of 'no negotiations'," he wrote. The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said it was uncertain when Britain would have a clear Brexit strategy. "One year after their referendum, we still don't know the British position in the negotiations on Brexit and it seems difficult to predict when we will, because democracy often requires time," she observed. A spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government would not comment on the election result out of "politeness and respect" while the process of forming a new government was ongoing. Meanwhile Irish Prime Minister-elect Leo Varadkar was positive about the outcome. "The results of the UK election indicate to me that there is no strong mandate to proceed with a hard Brexit, which represents an opportunity for Ireland," he said. He also described the result as an opportunity to re-engage in talks to restore Northern Ireland's devolved power-sharing administration, which collapsed in January. Mrs May is expected to form a government with the backing of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists. European newspapers have been focusing on the uncertainty about Mrs May's future and the anger among Britain's voters. In the first official comment by the White House, President Trump said the result was "surprising", but offered no further insight. The Washington Post newspaper noted the unpredictable nature of recent British politics. "The results mark the second time in as many years that the British body politic has defied predictions, scrambled the country's direction and bucked the will of a prime minister who had gambled by calling a vote when none had been required," it said. "But unlike last year's EU referendum - which delivered a clear if close verdict to get out of the bloc - the will of the voters who cast ballots Thursday was not nearly as easy to decipher." Looking east from London, the Chinese press offered largely factual reports, with little comment except to say the result would have a "huge" impact on Brexit discussions. In Hong Kong, independent outlets said the Tories had made a "grave miscalculation". Shi Zhiqin, a professor from Tsinghua University in Beijing, said China might no longer see the need to keep Britain as a strong ally in the EU. "But I think Britain's main concern is to keep China as a trade partner after it lost the EU market," he told the South China Morning Post. In Russia, state-owned news agency RIA Novosti is claiming the Conservatives will not forgive Theresa May for the result, and predicts a new prime minister. On the morning of 9 June, state-run rolling news channel Rossiya 24 called it "Theresa May's devastating defeat." A correspondent for Qatar-funded Al Jazeera TV, which ran a special segment on the polls, said the opposition Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn had led a "fierce campaign that the Conservative Party did not expect". The results were covered prominently on some Lebanese newspaper websites, with the front page of left-wing Al Akhbar newspaper reading: "Britain: Corbyn brings down the hopes of the Conservatives." In India, newspapers are taking an interest in Preet Gill, who has become the UK's first Sikh woman MP, and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, the first turban-wearing Sikh winner. Indian headlines also concluded that the result was a setback for Theresa May, with the Hindustan Times calling it a "stunning blow" for the prime minister. Labour boosted its number of seats by 29 overnight, exciting Corbyn supporters abroad. US Senator Bernie Sanders, the former Democratic presidential candidate, told the Washington Post he was thrilled. "I am delighted to see Labour do so well. All over the world people are rising up against austerity and massive levels of income and wealth inequality. "People in the UK, the US and elsewhere want governments that represent all the people, not just the 1%. I congratulate Jeremy Corbyn for running a very positive and effective campaign." Bill Shorten, leader of the Australian Labor Party, made similar observations, telling reporters: "One of the things which my counterpart, the Labour leader in the United Kingdom, did is he campaigned and his slogan was 'For the many, not the few.' "I think Mr Turnbull [Australia's prime minister] would be well advised to look at the popularity of that message." David Cameron and Barack Obama don't have the political intimacy of Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher, or the controversial common cause of George W Bush and Tony Blair. But the president's willingness to speak so plainly, and powerfully, in support of staying in the EU is much, much more than a simple favour. The most powerful politician in the world, could hardly have said more clearly that David Cameron is right, and his rivals are wrong. Senior sources on the other side believe it's almost futile to try to match Remain's levels of support from the Establishment. But the Leave campaign has passion and enthusiasm that's rarely matched by their opponents. And it is far from clear that the intervention, still two months away from the vote, will make very much difference. In the privacy of the polling booth, who will suddenly think of the American president when deciding which box to tick? But Mr Obama's endorsement is a powerful emblem of the emerging early reality of the referendum campaign. The ranks of the powerful are assembling, for the most part, behind the case to Remain. The challenge for the Outers is to persuade us to ignore those siren calls. PS. Downing Street is cockahoop tonight, not just because of President Obama's backing for the Remain campaign, but because of his elegant slapdown of Boris Johnson. Mr Johnson raised eyebrows by referring to the president's Kenyan roots, questioning whether that meant he had Britain's best interests at heart. He also reminded Sun readers that Mr Obama had removed a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office, a story that didn't escape the British press at the time. Mr Johnson's comments were branded offensive and insensitive by many but the president didn't resort to even mentioning them. Instead, he spoke about how much he loved Winston Churchill, and why he had moved the bust of the former prime minister to his private residence, where he sees it every day. The president didn't just back the prime minister's case, but smoothly and - without breaking a sweat - took the most well-known leader of the Leave campaign down a peg or two. The warning from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) came as a Markit survey showed growth in demand for staff in Scotland. REC said a lack of "appropriately-skilled" candidates had been a problem before last year's EU referendum. It said Brexit could make things worse, especially if people coming from the EU to work faced "onerous restrictions". REC chief executive Kevin Green said: "Finding people to do the jobs on offer is rapidly becoming employers' biggest headache and many are reporting an increasing number of white collar jobs as hard to fill, including in the IT and financial sectors." The latest Markit Report on Jobs for Scotland found an increase in the number of permanent staff appointments for the second month running in March. There was also a rise in temporary placements, which showed the sharpest increase since August 2014. Demand for permanent staff rose at the quickest rate for 25 months, while Scottish recruiters reported the steepest increase in demand for temporary staff since September 2014. The nursing/medical/care sector led growth in demand for permanent staff, while engineering and construction saw the biggest rise in demand for temporary workers. The hotel and catering industry was the worst performer, and was placed at the bottom of the rankings in terms of both temporary and permanent job vacancies. Average wages for temporary/contract staff rose sharply in March, while average salaries for permanent staff also increased markedly. Mr Green said: "This shrinking talent pool of available candidates means that businesses are boosting the starting salaries and hourly rates they are prepared to offer to the right candidate. "So for job hunters willing to move roles at the moment, there are financial rewards on offer - especially it seems in finance, IT and other management and office-based professional roles." The Markit report was based on information provided by a panel of about 100 recruitment consultancies operating in Scotland. It comes a day after it announced more than 1,000 job losses. The company usually takes on about 40 apprentices every year for a four year training programme. The scheme was assessed by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) last year as "very good" with some "outstanding" elements. The firm said it will "support existing apprentices to complete their training and gain relevant qualifications". At the time of the ETI inspection the firm had 140 apprentices, 20 of whom were on the pilot higher level programme. Over the four year scheme apprentices work towards NVQs in aircraft fitting or engineering. First Minister Arlene Foster has said she will do what she can to soften the blow of the job losses. Meanwhile, a company which is one of Bombardier's biggest local parts suppliers says its saddened by the cuts. However, Raymond Semple of Moyola Precision Engineeering, said he was confident about its own future, despite Bombardier's troubles. "It's a major thing losing 1,000 jobs. Those people trying to get employment, it's not going to be all that easy for them," he said. "For us as a company, we're quite confident we'll still be going forward. It's a global business here." Jimmy Spencer's header and Josh Coulson's volley put the home side two goals up before James Berrett's top corner strike brought York back in it. Ben Williamson capitalised on Scott Flinders' spill from Spencer's driven shot to regain the two goal cushion. The U's Luke Berry chipped a late penalty over the bar after Dave Winfield's clumsy foul on Leon Legge. Cambridge manager Shaun Derry told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I think everyone was wondering how we would respond after a difficult afternoon last week. "I thought we controlled the game from start to finish. We could have scored a lot more goals, we could have been more ruthless, but the key to it was reacting and getting the three points. "It was a real accomplished 95 minutes. You reach for the stars as we always do, but I'm delighted with the three points, the calibre of the goals was pretty decent as well." York City manager Jackie McNamara told BBC Radio York: Media playback is not supported on this device "It's disappointing. I thought we started well. I think from our point of view we had too many off it today. "Physically, I thought they caused us problems up front and we didn't handle that. "I thought they handled the conditions better than us and that was the difference in the game." Donal O'Cofaigh is the Cross-Community Labour Alternative candidate for Fermanagh & South Tyrone. He was expelled last week along with LPNI activist, Adam Gannon, who had been campaigning for him. Labour said it is against the rules to be a member of another political party. Mr O'Cofaigh is a former Sinn Féin councillor who also stood as a candidate for the Socialist Party in 2011, before joining the Labour Party last year. He told the BBC he had wanted to run on a Labour Party NI ticket this year, but due to party rules, he could not. People in Northern Ireland have been allowed to join the Labour Party since 2003 - but it does not allow candidates to stand in Northern Ireland elections. However, the party has begun a consultation process to consider whether they should contest Northern Ireland elections, according to BBC News NI political correspondent, Stephen Walker. He reported that Labour is to discuss the issue with a series of groups over the coming weeks, including the Northern Ireland Constituency Labour Party, affiliated trade unions, the Irish Labour Party, the Co-operative Party and the SDLP. Last year, eight candidates defied the party's hierarchy and ran under the banner 'Northern Ireland Labour Representation Committee' (NILRC). Mr O'Cofaigh said he approached Cross-Community Labour Alternative, who then allowed him to run as a candidate under their party banner in March's election. Under section 2 of the Labour Party membership rules, it states: "A member of the party who joins and/or supports a political organisation other than an official Labour group or other unit of the party... shall automatically be ineligible to be or remain a party member." A Labour spokesperson said as the matter was internal it could not go into detail, adding: "It is against Labour Party rules to be a member of another political party. "Where there is evidence of a member being a member of another political party, that member will be auto-excluded." It is understood Mr O'Cofaigh and Mr Gannon intend to appeal the decision. It was the second-highest February debut ever, behind The Passion of the Christ's $83.9m opening in 2004. Based on EL James' best-selling novel, Fifty Shades of Grey is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. According to Universal Pictures, North American audiences were 68% female. The film's takings were more than double those of its nearest box office rival, Kingsman: The Secret Service, which earned $35.6m (£24m), according to studio estimates. Around the world, Fifty Shades of Grey took an estimated $158m (£102m) from 58 countries. James's trilogy of Fifty Shades books have reportedly sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 50 languages. The film, which contains "strong sex and nudity", is R-rated in the US - meaning those under 17 years old can watch it if accompanied by an adult - and has an 18 certificate in the UK. Animated children's film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water came third on the box office chart with $30.5m (£19.8m) in its second weekend on release. Rounding out the top five were the Oscar-nominated American Sniper with $16.4m (£10.6m), and sci-fi fantasy Jupiter Ascending with $9.4m (£6.1m). Network Rail boss Mark Carne said the Department for Transport was told in March that decisions about deferring schemes could be due within months. The department had previously said it was not told Network Rail's board expected delays until after the election. Labour accused the government of a cover up. Shadow minister Lillian Greenwood said the Conservatives had "serious questions to answer" about why they promised rail electrification in their manifesto. In a letter to shadow rail minister Lillian Greenwood, Mr Carne wrote: "In mid-March 2015, Network Rail informed DfT that decisions may need to be made in the coming months about the deferral of certain schemes." Mr Carne added Network Rail had recommended another assessment was made before decisions were taken. It was completed after the election. He said Network Rail, the DfT and the Office of Rail Regulation all knew around 80% of current projects were "at an extremely early stage of development, with inevitably high levels of uncertainty regarding their cost". Earlier this month, the department said it was not sent a minute from a Network Rail meeting - uncovered by the BBC - revealing such a decision was required until after the election. It has refused a Freedom of Information request from the BBC to release a document that shows the scale of delays and cost overruns in major rail upgrades. The assessment was provided to ministers after the election, but commissioned beforehand. The government put the electrification of two major lines on hold shortly after the election, after receiving an assessment of the state of major Network Rail projects. Several warnings that the rail programme was in trouble were made public in 2014 and early 2015. The department said the assessment would remain confidential because ministers and officials were still making decisions about the future of rail upgrades. They needed "a free space" to reassess rail plans, it said. Labour has accused the Conservatives of promising to electrify lines in their manifesto knowing the projects would be shelved. Shadow rail minister Lillian Greenwood said: "Ministers have covered up the extent of Network Rail's problems for months and they are still failing to come clean with passengers and the public. "There are serious questions to answer over the conduct of senior Conservative politicians who promised to deliver vital electrification projects during the election, only to then shelve them once the ballot boxes had closed." Calling on Mr McLoughlin to explain, she added: "There can now be no doubt that ministers knew that important projects faced the axe, but they chose to mislead voters in the Midlands and the North instead of admitting the truth." In a letter responding to queries from the Labour party, Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said he first received advice that major programmes should be paused on 15 June - after the election. He said he had been open about "very significant challenges" to the rail programme as early as December last year, and stressed electrification had been paused not halted. He wrote: "The government remains committed to the £38bn investment through Network Rail and the vital benefits that rail enhancements will provide for passengers." A new plan for rail upgrades produced by the chairman of Network Rail, Sir Peter Hendy, is to be completed by the autumn. The electrification of the Trans-Pennine and Midland main line routes was put on hold in June. The department also refused to release any correspondence with Network Rail that could show warnings of problems so serious they might lead to the pause in electrification. It said the information would cost too much to produce. The Freedom of Information Act allows departments to refuse to release information related to developing government policy, or documents that would cost more than £600 to produce. Mike Powell's now-deleted message said Labour and Tory supporters were complicit in "why so many deaths lie at the feet" of their parties. The candidate for the constituency of Pontypridd said he made the statement in anger. A Lib Dem spokesman said Mr Powell does not stand by his comments. Salman Abedi killed 22 people and injured 64 when he blew himself up at the Manchester Arena on Monday night. The original post said: "I wonder if any UK resident will ask a Syrian child refugee what their take is on the terrorists attack in Manchester? "Can't wait for the Labour and Tory supporters to pour their hearts out at the losses of life yet ignore their complicity in the reasons why so many deaths lie at the feet of the political party they still support." The Rhondda Cynon Taf councillor for the ward of Trallwng said: "After the huge wave of sadness passed over me at the news of the shocking terrorist attack in Manchester last night it was followed by one of anger. "That anger led me to post a thread that was both hasty and ill-considered. I sincerely apologise for any distress it has caused. "As the father of a young daughter, I can only imagine the grief of those affected. My thoughts are with the families of the victims affected by this horrific attack. "I shall not be making any further statements on the matter." Mr Powell told BBC Wales he was "absolutely distraught of the news" of the attack. "I've got a six year old daughter myself. We went out to a concert last week," he added. Asked to explain what he meant by the comments claiming that deaths lie at the feet of Labour and the Conservatives, he declined to comment further. A Liberal Democrat party spokesman said: "Mike Powell has made a formal apology for this ill-considered comment. "He is very sorry for any distress he has caused and does not stand by these comments in any way." The British astrophysicist amassed two million followers within hours of launching his account on Tuesday. His first message was a greeting to his "friends in China" posted in both English and Chinese. Some Weibo users were comparing the experience of interacting with Prof Hawking online to making contact with the universe. Hawking backs interstellar travel project Hawking: Humans at risk of lethal 'own goal' A brief history of Stephen Hawking More than 230 million people use Sina Weibo, China's biggest social media platform, every month. A growing number of international figures who have joined Weibo in recent years to connect to a Chinese audience. Prof Hawking's second post, on Wednesday, described the interstellar project Breakthrough Starshot which he is backing, saying it was "exciting to be involved in such an ambitious project". Both posts were quickly flooded with excited comments expressing admiration and awe. One wrote: "I'm writing this comment, even though you probably won't read it and understand it, so that it will at least flash on your phone for a second... This fragile connection is like using my fingers to gently touch the universe." "Since I was a child I would always cite you in my school essays, you are an example for all of us!" said one commenter, while another wrote: "OMG, you have pulled up the average IQ of all the users on Weibo." Others urged fellow netizens to be on their best behaviour around him. "I hope there won't be any idiots who ask the professor brainless questions, please do not take him as a joke, and do not shame us Chinese people," said a commenter. Still others peppered him with questions on the existence of aliens and quantum physics. Prof Hawking has enjoyed a substantial following in China, with a Xinhua article on his last visit in 2006 noting he has "a cult status among Chinese youngsters much like that of Tom Cruise". "The appeal of Hawking largely comes from his ability to be a great thinker despite his physical challenges," it said. The National Osteoporosis Society is calling for every hospital in Wales to have such a specialist service. It claims only half of hospitals in the country currently provide fracture liaison services for outpatients. The Welsh Government said extra funding had been provided for more physiotherapists for a community-based approach to musculoskeletal conditions. According to the charity one in two women over the age of 50 in Wales will break a bone because of poor bone health, and one in five men. And, on average, people suffer one to three fractures before they are diagnosed. Fracture liaison services at hospitals can identify if people who have broken bones have osteoporosis, of if they are at risk of the condition. Jackie Pile, from Penarth, was diagnosed with osteoporosis six years ago and has broken a number of bones in her spine as a result of the condition. She said: "My back aches if I stand for any length of time and I end up stooping, round shouldered. "I can't do as much as I used to - I used to be a teacher carrying heavy boxes around. I know I can't do that now." Ms Pile had a scan because of ongoing back pain and said it was a relief knowing the cause of it. She has lost six inches in height since her diagnosis. "I'm a bit fed up of being short. I'm used to being 5ft 8in, standing out in a crowd. Now I have to stand on something to look in the mirror," she said. Dr David Byfield, of the University of South Wales, said: "At the age of 30 you start to lose 1% of your bone each year. You lose 2% of the scaffolding of the bone. "When you reach menopause that increases by about 10-fold and in the lumbar spine that increases 20-fold, so there's a massive drop in the ability for the bone to sustain itself." The National Osteoporosis Society said if fracture liaison services were available at all hospitals, it could help diagnose people who have the condition without realising. "There's a huge lack of provision in rural areas, particularly looking at parts of mid Wales and that makes a huge difference," said Louise Fox, the charity's development manager for Wales. "We know these people can't access fracture liaison services so potentially their osteoporosis is going undiagnosed." The charity said weight-bearing exercise, more calcium and vitamin D - medication if needs be - can all help build bone strength. And experts say we should all be doing what we can to look after our bones, whatever our age. A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We have provided additional funding to support extra physiotherapists as part of a community-based approach to dealing with musculoskeletal conditions. "This is part of a £40m national primary care fund to provide care for people closer to their homes. "This not only avoids patients waiting to be referred by a GP but enables those who need to be seen in secondary care to be seen more quickly." Hydrofoils dipped into the sea have lifted both hulls clean out of the water and we're flying along at about 30 knots (35mph; 55km/h) in just a light breeze, the wind howling in my ears. When the wind is stronger, these catamarans can top 50mph powered by the huge sail that looks and behaves more like the wing of a passenger jet. As we take a tight turn around a buoy it feels like a powerful sports car hugging a bend. Only wetter. I've joined four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Ben Ainslie and his team as they practise hard for the next leg of the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series race, which begins on Friday. The sailors are highly skilled and very fit, but their success will depend as much upon technology as human ability. "Technology is critical to the America's Cup," Sir Ben tells me as we take a breather between exercises. "It's a design race as much as it is a sailing race... the balance between design and actual sailing skill will be pretty much 50-50." Britain has never won the trophy, despite the competition's 165-year history, although Sir Ben did help Oracle Team USA win in 2013 - a feat he's aiming to recreate with his own crew. These boats are laden with sensors, hydraulics and composite materials taken from F1 motorsport and the aeronautics industry. They are designed to be as lightweight and aerodynamic as possible, even down to the suits of the crew, but they also have to withstand forces that are "significantly higher than F1 motorsport", says Martin Whitmarsh, former team principal of the McLaren Mercedes F1 team and now chief executive of Sir Ben's Land Rover BAR team. "The America's Cup is now the Formula 1 of sailing," he tells the BBC back at the team's purpose-built headquarters in Portsmouth harbour. "These are high-speed, dynamic, foiling multi-hulled boats with systems that help them fly and manoeuvre quicker than other boats. "They are inherently quite a lot more dangerous because they are travelling very fast and bearing enormous loads." The huge wing-sails can generate three times the speed of the wind, and the trick is to make the boats fly across the water without actually taking off. Hundreds of sensors dotted around the sail, hulls and foils measure the strains and pressures on the boat, as well as wind speeds and direction. All this data is sent back in real time to the technology centre where it is analysed to see how the team can squeeze even more speed from the equipment. Rob Lamb, cloud business director for EMC UK & Ireland - Land Rover BAR's data partner - says: "Telemetry data is transferred ashore using packet technology - like SMS - and then when the boat returns to shore a full download of all the data captured, including from the boat's high definition cameras, is downloaded and stored virtually." Given that legs of the America's Cup take place across the world, from Japan to Bermuda, a reliable data stream and storage facility is essential for all the teams. Jaguar Land Rover then applies machine learning techniques to this vast sea of data, perceiving patterns that humans could not and deriving insights that could lead to improved performance. Foil technology is not new - it's been used on ferries for years. Lifting the hull off the water using the lift created by the foil reduces drag and helps the boat go faster - that's simple physics. But now we have the materials, actuators, hydraulic and electronic control systems to operate them dynamically, responding to weather and sea conditions, argues Mr Whitmarsh. "Hydrofoils provide the opportunity for huge efficiency gains, not just on our boats but on many other waterborne vessels, so I think we're going to see something develop out of the America's Cup that's of benefit to the entire maritime industry."

NRW has called on firms that store chemicals to ensure they have the right permits to avoid possible action. It said knowing which chemicals are stored where means it can ensure safe storage to prevent pollution incidents. All such firms in the River Dee Water Protection Zone - which stretches between Gwynedd and Wrexham - are required by law to obtain consent from NRW. The website, launched by the University of Glasgow, has details of speeches made by MPs spanning more than 200 years. It shows that references to sex have been made more than 23,000 times since 1803. They have gradually increased over time, rising from just 12 in the 1810s, to 5,256 in the 1990s. The website details 7.6 million parliamentary speeches, and includes a breakdown of the most common words and phrases used, along with most popular terms used by individual politicians. The research showed that Margaret Thatcher favoured words like "resource" and "negotiation", while "troop" and "pensioner" were among Tony Blair's most popular phrases. Dr Mark Alexander, director of historical thesaurus of English at the university, said: "This launch is part of our SAMUELS project to look at the meanings of huge collections of texts and lets us really uncover the ways the MPs and lords speak in Parliament and what they discuss. "No-one can possibly read all 1.6 billion words, so what our team has done is develop all sorts of new ways of digging into that information and letting people search for it." 3607 shut up 1307 traitor 847 coward 818 idiot 151 tart Of all parliamentary speakers of the last 200 years, Labour veteran Dennis Skinner has been told to "shut up" the most amount of times. He has received the put down 40 times since he was elected 45 years ago. Dr Alexander said: "The term 'shut up' is so un-parliamentary that it is used very rarely. It is only used 3,600 times in the past 200 years. "It is not the way you are supposed to speak in parliament, although it seems to have started to become more acceptable in the past 30 years." Experts have said such language is frowned upon, and can have the speaker ejected from parliament. However, a search of the new database revealed many of terms considered un-parliamentary words, have still been used in the House of Commons. "Pipsqueak" has been mentioned 15 times, "git" 20 times, and "guttersnipe" 13 times. References to popular culture are not exempt from speeches made in parliament, with fictional government agent James Bond mentioned a total of 132 times. Even Robbie Williams racked up five mentions over the 1990s and 2000s. However, he was well beaten by Shakespeare, who was referenced 5,938 times, and Robert Burns, who is included 428 times in the archive. There have been 332 mentions of Frankenstein, 278 of Mickey Mouse, 207 of Sherlock Holmes and 66 of Dracula. Linguists and historians worked together to compile the speeches for the website, which is free to use. As well as entertaining quips from the chambers, the archives also include memorable moments in the history of politics, such as Sir Winston Churchill's wartime addresses to Parliament, and Dennis Healey's famous retort to Geoffrey Howe's verbal attack on him, comparing it to "being savaged by a dead sheep". The appointment was announced on the presidential website. Ilham Aliyev has ruled Azerbaijan since the death of his father Heydar in 2003. Mehriban Aliyeva, 52, is an MP who trained in medicine and heads the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. The state-run media often focus on the Aliyev family. Human rights campaigners deplore President Aliyev's crackdown on dissent and corruption in state bodies. The government denies the allegations. In September, Mr Aliyev organised a referendum which created a strong vice-presidency and extended the presidential term to seven years, from five. Last year leaked US diplomatic documents said that despite being an MP, the president's wife appeared poorly informed about political issues. The leaked cables also derided her expensive taste in fashions and cosmetic surgery. Her father Arif Pashayev is a wealthy and successful businessman in Azerbaijan. Mehriban and Ilham Aliyev have three children. Owner Brookside Products Ltd said it had "done everything" but had failed to find a buyer for the plant. Director Doug Aitchison, said it was a "sad" day, but that a third of the firm's 64 workers, had found other jobs or been redeployed within the firm. The family business set up in 1987, moved to Maryport in 1995. The factory smokes and packages salmon. Mr Aitchison said: "Unfortunately there is no good news. "The 30-day consultation period has passed and while initially there seemed to be a reasonable level of interest, discussions with interested parties have come to an end and no formal offers have been received. "We have explored all the options and there seems to be no viable alternatives. Sadly, this means the facility will now close. "We are sorry this has happened and we have done everything we can to avoid closure. This is a sad day for us all." He added that more than £400,000 had been invested in the firm over the last three years, to "no avail". Police seized three tiger pelts which they said were from animals that appeared to be freshly killed. The Sundarbans in south-east Bangladesh are home to the rare Bengal tiger. A recent survey found that just over 100 were living there - a sharp decline from the 440 animals recorded 10 years ago. Experts say the dramatic slump is down to more accurate surveying methods, but also to rampant poaching. A local police official, Harendra Nath Sarkar, told the BBC that during a raid, the alleged poachers began shooting and the officers fired back. "The gunfight went on for about 15 to 20 minutes. We recovered three tiger skins, and five guns and ammunition. From the look and smell of the skins, it seemed that the tigers were killed not more than a week ago," he said. But some local media cast doubt on the police's version of events, saying the suspects had been arrested before being shot dead. Bangladesh has stepped up efforts against poachers since the news of the tiger population's decline. There are now fewer than 2,300 Bengal tigers left in the wild - mainly in India and Bangladesh, but with smaller populations in Nepal, Bhutan, China and Myanmar (Burma). Labour's Karl Turner said he had been contacted by a number of people whose payments stopped due to investigations. Mr Turner blamed US company Concentrix, which was last year given a government contract to tackle fraud. Concentrix said "re-evaluation can be difficult" and the government said fraud was at its "lowest level". The MP described the deal as a "disaster" and said he had received more than 30 complaints from constituents who were sent letters halting their payments while claims were checked. "People are being left for many, many weeks without any money coming in." "This is about people who are working hard who are expecting tax credits to come in, rightly, and are being let down by the system." Mr Turner cited the case of one woman who had her benefits stopped after she received a letter from Concentrix asking her to prove a man named on the electoral roll was not living at the address. The single-parent, who did not want to be named, told the BBC the man was a previous tenant at the property. She said it took a "long time" to resolve the investigation by Concentix. "I've borrowed money to keep myself afloat." she said. In a statement, Concentrix said: "We appreciate the re-evaluation of individual tax credit claims can be difficult for all concerned. "When we have made an error we take urgent steps to put things right and we apologise. "When we have reason to believe something is, or may be, wrong... we write to the claimant to ask for further information to make sure the right money is being paid." A HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) spokesperson said: "Fraud in the tax credits system has been reduced to its lowest level." Seti, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has until now sought radio signals from worlds like Earth. But Seti astronomer Seth Shostak argues that the time between aliens developing radio technology and artificial intelligence (AI) would be short. Writing in Acta Astronautica, he says that the odds favour detecting such alien AI rather than "biological" life. Many involved in Seti have long argued that nature may have solved the problem of life using different designs or chemicals, suggesting extraterrestrials would not only not look like us, but that they would not at a biological level even work like us. However, Seti searchers have mostly still worked under the assumption - as a starting point for a search of the entire cosmos - that ETs would be "alive" in the sense that we know. That has led to a hunt for life that is bound to follow at least some rules of biochemistry, live for a finite period of time, procreate, and above all be subject to the processes of evolution. But Dr Shostak makes the point that while evolution can take a large amount of time to develop beings capable of communicating beyond their own planet, technology would already be advancing fast enough to eclipse the species that wrought it. "If you look at the timescales for the development of technology, at some point you invent radio and then you go on the air and then we have a chance of finding you," he told BBC News. "But within a few hundred years of inventing radio - at least if we're any example - you invent thinking machines; we're probably going to do that in this century. "So you've invented your successors and only for a few hundred years are you... a 'biological' intelligence." From a probability point of view, if such thinking machines ever evolved, we would be more likely to spot signals from them than from the "biological" life that invented them. John Elliott, a Seti research veteran based at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK, says that Dr Shostak is putting on a firmer footing a feeling that is not uncommon in the Seti community. "You have to start somewhere, and there's nothing wrong with that," Dr Elliott told BBC News. "But having now looked for signals for 50 years, Seti is going through a process of realising the way our technology is advancing is probably a good indicator of how other civilisations - if they're out there - would've progressed. "Certainly what we're looking at out there is an evolutionary moving target." Both Dr Shostak and Dr Elliott concede that finding and decoding any eventual message from such alien thinking machines may prove more difficult than in the "biological" case, but the idea does provide new directions to look. Dr Shostak says that artificially intelligent alien life would be likely to migrate to places where both matter and energy - the only things he says would be of interest to the machines - would be in plentiful supply. That means the Seti hunt may need to focus its attentions near hot, young stars or even near the centres of galaxies. "I think we could spend at least a few percent of our time... looking in the directions that are maybe not the most attractive in terms of biological intelligence but maybe where sentient machines are hanging out." MPs were due to go on their "Whitsun recess" on 22 May, returning on 4 June in time for the final year of Parliament before the 2015 election. But media reports suggest Parliament will be curtailed this Thursday. Labour said it proved it was a "zombie" body but Commons leader Andrew Lansley said 20 bills would be passed. Mr Lansley told BBC Radio 4's The World at One it was standard practice for Parliament to be curtailed once government business had been concluded. "A lot has happened in this session," he said. Mr Lansley said Labour had agreed earlier this year that the next session of Parliament should not begin before English council and European Parliament elections were held 22 May. As Parliament traditionally does not sits during Whit week, he said it was not possible for MPs to return until June. MPs insist they continue to work in their constituencies when Parliament is not sitting, but critics claim that being away from Westminster makes it harder for them to hold the government to account. Amid recent squabbles between the Conservatives and Lib Dems over knife crime and education policy, there have been claims that coalition tensions have created a "zombie" Parliament. Critics, including some Conservative MPs, have claimed there is little to do in Parliament because of a lack of new legislation - in itself a product of coalition differences in the run-up to next year's election. For Labour, shadow Commons leader Angela Eagle said Parliament was merely "ticking over". She said it was "obvious the government had run out of steam and ideas". "We have been twiddling our thumbs as a legislature for the past year or so and it is becoming embarrassing. I have never known a Parliament as empty of activity as this one. "It does feel a little bit like it is the un-dead running around at the moment." But Mr Lansley said "important" legislation on immigration and social care were due to be approved this week and both bills had the support of the Tories and Lib Dems. If Parliament did break up on Thursday, he said it would provide an "opportunity" for MPs to debate important issues with their constituents in the run-up to next week's elections. "MPs' work is not confined to being in Parliament and debates in Parliament," he said. Next month's Queen's Speech, the last to be presented before the next election, would be a "substantial programme of legislative reform", he added. But Conservative MP Douglas Carswell, who wants MPs to do more to set their own agenda, said Parliament was "snoozing" and had been in "unofficial recess" since the start of the year. "Don't call Parliament a poodle. My poodle/schnauzer cross exhibits greater agenda-setting determination than the Commons," he wrote in the Daily Telegraph. "Parliament needs to amend the rules so that Commons business is set by Parliament." The Commons has been in recess over the following periods in 2013-4: If Parliament does "prorogue" on 15 May, MPs will have sat on 163 days during the 2013-4 session, compared with 143 days in 2012-3.

Nathaniel Hamilton, 31, from Acacia Avenue, Walsall, was found guilty of attempted murder, rape and assault earlier at Birmingham Crown Court. One woman, who was 18 at the time, was left with a perforated eardrum and bruises on her neck which "were matched to the trainers Hamilton wore". Hamilton had previously been the subject of a BBC film Bad Boy about his attempts to "go straight". The court heard Hamilton attacked the women because he thought they had been unfaithful. His sentencing also took into account several other occasions when he had beaten the 18-year-old so badly she had needed hospital treatment. She was left with a perforated eardrum, severe bruising to her neck and a permanently disfigured jaw after Hamilton forced his way into her flat on 9 November last year. He dragged her on to the floor before grabbing her around the throat and strangling her until she lost consciousness, the court heard. Following the sentencing, Sgt Alisha Reavley, of West Midlands Police, said: "The force that Hamilton used could easily have killed his victim. "The degree of injury caused was so severe that bruising on her neck could be matched to the trainers that Hamilton wore. "This was the last straw for this young girl who had suffered months of abuse from Hamilton." He had also assaulted a previous ex-girlfriend after "luring her to his home under false pretences" and threatened her with what was said to be a sawn-off shotgun. "The 24-year-old was hit across the neck with the gun and strangled until she almost lost consciousness," said Sgt Reavley. "The sentence handed to Hamilton today is testament to the bravery of his victims." He will remain on the sex offenders register for life. The 2004 BBC documentary Bad Boy followed Hamilton's release from prison for a previous offence and charted his integration back into society. Odegaard joined Real in a high-profile move as a 16-year-old from Stromsgodset two years ago, having been a target for most of Europe's top sides, including Manchester United and Liverpool. But he has only played twice for Real's first team, scoring five goals in 62 third-tier games for their B team. He made his senior Norway debut at the age of 15, and has won nine caps. Media playback is not supported on this device The Electrify Africa Act of 2015 will give legal backing to Mr Obama's flagship Power Africa scheme, which is trying to improve access to electricity through public-private partnerships. It took nearly two years to be passed in both houses of the US Congress. About two-thirds of people in Africa do not have access to reliable power. Africa Live: BBC News updates Observers say the new legislation is likely to ensure that the scheme continues even after Mr Obama leaves the White House in 2017. The scheme has set itself the long-term target of doubling electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa. The legislation would "improve the lives of millions in sub-Saharan Africa by helping to reduce reliance on charcoal and other toxic fuel sources that produce fumes that kill more than HIV/Aids and malaria combined," said House Foreign Affairs committee chairman Ed Royce, a long-time supporter of the initiative. It would also "promote the development of affordable and reliable energy", he added, in a statement on Monday. Management consultant firm McKinsey estimates that it will cost $835bn (£575bn) to connect the entire continent's population to electricity by 2030. Aside from the US government, African governments, development partners, and the private sector are all involved in the Power Africa scheme. The US government has made financial commitments of $7bn to support the scheme, which it says in turn has drawn a further $43bn in investment pledged from other public and private partners. Artur Samarin, 23, enrolled at Harrisburg High under the name "Asher Potts" after his visa expired in 2012. Police say he now faces charges of theft, identity theft and tampering with public records. Mr Samarin, who was pretending to be 18, was said to be an active member of the school community. Police said he was in possession of a driver's license using the Potts name at the time of his arrest, as well as a Social Security card obtained using a false birth date. They suspect his identity was fabricated, and not stolen. Harrisburg School district official Kirsten Keys said her department was cooperating with the police. Local news outlets say he was an active student at the school. He was seen in May 2014 posing with state lawmaker Patty Kim, who tweeted a photo after presenting "Asher Potts" with a certificate introducing him as "a new member of the National Honor Society". Marcel McCaskill, who joined Mr Samarin on a seven-week science and maths programme at Penn State told AP it was "totally mind-blowing" to find out about his real identity. "Honestly, he was a very respectable guy. He was the perfect role model, someone you would want your son to look up to." He was involved in food banks and cadet programmes, according to one report, and was even on the panel of a forum discussing youth violence in the greater Harrisburg area at the start of the year. Those taking part will be calling for improved facilities and safer roads for both cyclists and pedestrians. But is Scotland moving forward? Are we on the road to becoming a cycle-friendly country? "Funding has increased from central and local government, mainly through match funding programmes like the Community Links partnership run by Sustrans. "Some local authorities are committed to 20mph, design of infrastructure is improving and programmes delivering training and awareness of walking and cycling are more sophisticated. "Cycling is increasingly part of strategic planning and is recognised as a way to improve people's health. "We are meeting ministers and national politicians much more easily than before and they are sympathetic. "There are lots of positives, but we are only at the beginning of a journey toward a nation where short trips are easily made by foot and bicycle." "Scotland has enormous potential for increasing the number of people walking and cycling, leading to better health and wellbeing for everyone in our country. "Cities like Edinburgh have shown that with political leadership and sustained investment you can achieve a significant increase in the number of people choosing to walk and cycle. "No parent wants their child to share the road with HGVs, buses and fast moving motorised vehicles. "That's why I'll be at Pedal on Parliament with my family asking our political leaders for the resources and determination needed to change our streets into places that put people first." "Cycling is becoming an everyday activity for more people of all ages and abilities. "Inverness and Edinburgh regularly have 1 in 10 journeys to work by bike. "38% of primary schools offer Bikeability Scotland on-road cycle training, up from 32% just three years ago thanks to Transport Scotland funding. "Midlothian provides training in 87% of schools and East Renfrewshire in 100% of schools. "The figures show it is possible to increase cycling in communities anywhere in Scotland but there is clearly much more to be done." "As a grassroots campaign group, Pedal on Parliament (Pop) has opened up campaigning beyond "cyclists" to everyone wanting safer roads, a healthier population, and cleaner air. "We're the first national campaign to call for infrastructure protecting cyclists from motor vehicles, but which doesn't take space away from pedestrians. "Since Pop started, active travel funding has stopped falling, but is still just 2% of the transport budget. "To meet the government's goal of 10% of journeys by bike by 2020, we need 5 times that investment, and a long-term commitment to spending it on quality infrastructure." Kris Doolan's 10th goal of the season looked to have earned Partick Thistle their fourth straight Premiership win. But Warren nodded home at the far post for the Highlanders, who had a first-half strike from Henri Anier disallowed with Billy Mckay standing offside. Doolan stabbed home an inviting Ryan Edwards cross to put Partick ahead. The hosts remain in sixth place while Caley's late rally saw them move to within a point of 11th-placed Hamilton. The visitors had the first effort of the match when Greg Tansey fired a 25-yard shot wide of Tomas Cerny's right-hand post. But that was their only real threat in the first quarter as the home side dominated possession. Edwards, Chris Erskine and Steven Lawless were always on the move, probing and stretching the Caley defence. Callum Booth and Mustapha Dumbuya were getting forward on the flanks but only the final product was missing as visitors defended well. Edwards blasted over before Inverness keeper Owain Fon Williams thwarted Erskine and Doolan after neat combination play. Injuries to Abdul Osman and Lawless forced Partick to alter their strategy. They hadn't had time to replace Lawless, who was off the pitch, when the visitors thought they had opened the scoring four minutes before the interval. Anier fired in a shot from the edge of the area which beat Cerny, but as the Caley Thistle players headed off to celebrate, the flag went up for offside against his fellow striker Billy Mckay. The threat of Doolan, Thistle's top scorer, was always evident and early in the second half Fon Williams had to tip the striker's low shot round the post. But in the 56th minute the Thistle hitman slid in to connect left-footed with Edwards' whipped low cross from the right, his 99th goal for the club. Fon Williams produced an excellent save to deny Thistle a second. A succession of one-twos between Erskine and Doolan ended with the ball taking a ricochet off Louis Laing. But just as it looked like producing an own goal, the Caley Thistle keeper dived to his left to turn it round the post. Doolan donned the captain's armband after Osman went off and led the line well, but it was the Caley Thistle skipper who had the last word. Two minutes into stoppage time Warren rose at the back post to head in the equaliser from Billy King's cross to earn what could be a vital point in their relegation battle.

The two-day exercise is being held at locations including Ffos Las racecourse near Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire. People have been told not to be concerned by noise of blank gun fire and simulated explosions in the area. As well as armed police and other 999 crews responding to the initial callout from a "no notice terrorist attack", senior officers are managing the incident and liaising with officials from the Welsh Government and UK Government to test coordination at a national level. Events are also taking place in Bridgend in Bridgend county and at Llantrisant Common in Rhondda Cynon Taff. South Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Jon Stratford, who is leading the operation, said the UK Government's emergency response committee, Cobra, involving ministers and intelligence officers, would also participate. He added: "This isn't being hosted in Wales because we think there is a threat to Wales. This is part of a rotating exercise programme. "Clearly, we model our scenarios upon the prevailing threat and so Paris and Belgium do feature heavily in these scenarios. "What the exercise will test is not just the ability of frontline police officers, paramedics, fire officers to actually respond to the scene, but we will also be standing up the command and control measures that work across the force areas. "I urge the public not to be alarmed... it is all part of the exercise. We need to make these exercises as realistic as possible." Addicks fans who want the Belgian businessman to sell the club have halted a number of games at The Valley with demonstrations. "Something has happened before me," Robinson, 36, told BBC Sport. "As fans, we will always have our problems and arguments. Some say they are right and some say they are wrong." A section of Charlton's support set up a campaign group called Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) earlier this year, with the ultimate aim to make Duchatelet sell his stake in the south-east London club. CARD have taken issue with the high turnover of managers, Charlton's overall strategy and how the club is run by chief executive Katrien Meire since Duchatelet took over in January 2014. Duchatelet, 70, has made seven managerial changes since March 2014, with former MK Dons boss Robinson signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Addicks on 24 November. CARD have held a mock funeral for the club, stopped matches by throwing beach balls, stress balls and foam pigs onto the playing surface, and driven a branded taxi to Belgium. Robinson watched his new side from the stands on Saturday, witnessing the latest protest first-hand as foam taxis and miniature footballs were thrown on to the pitch shortly after kick-off during the 1-1 draw against Sheffield United. "I'd not been here [before] but I've read about [the protests] and seen it," Robinson said. "There is a support element that feel that is what they want to do. It will continue as it is part of what is happening this year. "I want to make the fans happy and hopefully I am the man to do that. That is my objective." Robinson had been out of work since leaving MK Dons in October, after almost six and a half years in charge. He said Duchatelet convinced him to take charge of the Addicks after a three-hour meeting in Paris. "It was a sign of intent that he came to meet me," Robinson said. "We spoke football and I spoke about the type of man that I am. From what he said to me, it was worth signing on the dotted line. "It wasn't a financial decision, as the owner sold me something I wanted to do." Charlton are 11th in League One, two points off the play-offs, with Meire aiming to secure a return to the Championship "at the earliest opportunity". Previous boss Russell Slade was sacked after just 16 league games but Robinson is not concerned by Duchatelet's managerial merry-go-round at The Valley. "That is his prerogative," Robinson said. "A man stands in front of you bearing an opportunity to manage a great club and you don't pass these opportunities up. "I know there are things going on and he is trigger-happy, but I can only control my own actions. "Hopefully we will have a wonderful relationship. Let's enjoy the ride while I'm here." The announcement came in tweets from the current council president, Herman Van Rompuy, at an EU summit. Ms Mogherini, a centre-left politician, is Italy's foreign minister. She will replace the UK's Catherine Ashton. Mr Tusk, Poland's centre-right prime minister, has been Polish leader since 2007. He will chair EU summits. The full-time appointments mean that the EU's three top jobs are now filled. Mr Tusk and Ms Mogherini will work closely with the new European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker. Mr Tusk, 57, will serve for two-and-a-half years (renewable), starting on 1 December. Ms Mogherini's term, starting on 1 November, is five years. Mr Van Rompuy called Mr Tusk "one of the veterans of the European Council", the grouping of EU government leaders. He is the only Polish prime minister to have been re-elected since the collapse of communism in 1989. Mr Van Rompuy praised "the determined and confident way he has steered Poland through the economic crisis, and managed to maintain steady economic growth". As a student Mr Tusk was active in the Solidarity anti-communist movement. Mr Van Rompuy said Mr Tusk would face three major challenges: the stagnating European economy, the Ukraine crisis and "Britain's place in Europe". He said the EU leaders were convinced that Ms Mogherini, 41, "will prove a skilful and steadfast negotiator for Europe's place in the world". He noted Italy's "long-standing tradition of commitment to the European Union". Mr Tusk then made a short address in Polish. He said that "in December I'll be 100% ready" to speak English. Ms Mogherini, speaking fluent English, later said "the challenges are huge... all around Europe we have crises - on European soil, in Ukraine, and starting from Iraq and Syria, going to Libya". On arrival at the summit the European Parliament President Martin Schulz, a Socialist, spoke warmly of Ms Mogherini, calling himself a "fan". It was a strong indication that she would be a popular choice among MEPs. The parliament's approval is required for all 28 members of the new Commission, and the EU foreign policy chief, officially called the High Representative, is also a vice-president of the Commission. Baroness Ashton, a centre-left UK politician, has been in the job since 2009. The High Representative runs the EU External Action Service (EEAS). Italy's centre-left Prime Minister Matteo Renzi pushed hard for Ms Mogherini to get the job. However, last month the EU failed to get a consensus on her candidacy, as the Baltic states and Poland saw her as inexperienced and too soft on Russia. She has only been Italian foreign minister since February. The champions moved to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 4-1 victory over Aberdeen, last season's runners-up, at Celtic Park. "No, I don't think they can," said the striker when asked if other teams could cope with Celtic's forward line. "We go forward at pace and hurt teams. It's great to have those attacking options." Griffiths set Celtic on their way to victory with a superb opening goal against the Dons. Adam Rooney hauled the visitors level, but goals from James Forrest, Scott Sinclair and Tom Rogic ensured Brendan Rodgers's men moved a point clear at the top with a game in hand over second-top Rangers. It was Griffiths' seventh goal of the season and Celtic's 10th in three Premiership matches on top of the five they got against Motherwell in the League Cup. The Scotland striker relishes playing in an attacking unit that is thriving domestically. "When we break at pace with me, Moussa (Dembele), Scott (Sinclair), James (Forrest), Patrick (Roberts), Tom (Rogic) and Ryan (Christie), who was on the bench, it's formidable." Griffiths saluted midfielder Rogic, who scored Celtic's fourth from a free-kick against the over-run Dons. "We know what Tom can do," he said. "He just glides along the floor and his touch at times is phenomenal. His all-round game is different class. "It must have been disappointing for him during the week (against Hapoel Beer-Sheva) to not start the game, but he came back and was man of the match." The former Hibernian man revealed that he has been playing with a sore hamstring since before the home game with Hapoel and will be assessed by Scotland's medics in the coming days. Gordon Strachan's side begin their World Cup qualifying campaign in Malta a week on Sunday. "I've managed to battle through it," said Griffiths. "I'll go away with Scotland now and see the physios. I always want to play for my country. I don't want to let anybody down. "Hopefully I can pull through and get a chance. I've managed to play 60 minutes against Aberdeen and 55 minutes during the week." Griffiths is Scotland's form striker but has had limited starting opportunities under Strachan. "It's not my decision to make, it's Gordon's decision," the striker added. "If he sees that I'm ready to go then I'll be delighted. "I've said it before - I'll sit on the bench and wait my turn. If I get called up, I'll give 100%." Arthur Simpson-Kent, 49, stabbed Ms Blake to death along with their sons Zachary, eight, and Amon, four. The Old Bailey heard he killed them when he learnt Ms Blake was planning to leave him and take their sons away. Ms Blake had motor neurone disease and would not have been able to defend herself, the court heard. All three were hit on the head before they were stabbed in the neck or throat with a small axe by Simpson-Kent in December, who then buried their bodies in the garden. He painted over the bloodstains in their bungalow in Erith, south-east London, before fleeing to his native Ghana in January. Simpson-Kent was arrested at Heathrow Airport in February after being extradited. He admitted murdering his family in June. Mr Justice Singh said there was "no doubt" that Simpson-Kent should serve the rest of his life in prison. "In my judgment this was indeed a case where each murder involved a substantial degree of premeditation or planning," he said. "At the very least that must be true of the murder of each of the two little boys individually, and in turn after the defendant had already killed Sian Blake." He added there were serious aggravating features as the victims were vulnerable because of age or disability. Ms Blake's mother Lindell Blake said in an impact statement: "We live knowing that Sian and the children would have been scared, terrified before that monster slaughtered them in their home, a place they should have felt safe and secure. "Sian was unable to protect her precious children. Little Zachary fighting back trying to protect his mother, himself or his little brother from his own father. "Our nights are now sleepless despite our constant tiredness and extreme sadness which never leaves us." The court heard Simpson-Kent told psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph "something just snapped in me". He said previously: "I felt as if I had just been pushed off a diving board and was falling." Simpson-Kent said he grabbed a small axe that was in the kitchen before hitting her repeatedly on the head. "My mind was blank and I was focusing on doing and not thinking. It was like I was there but not there," he said. The judge rejected Simpson-Kent's claim that he was depressed and had planned on killing himself. Ms Blake played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997. She then went on to work as a voice-over artist, with her last credited work in the video game Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, as the character Yugiri in 2015. Media playback is not supported on this device Bookmakers also made record profits of £333.4m from football bets, according to Gambling Commission data for October 2015 to September 2016. Football's relationship with gambling has come under recent scrutiny, with midfielder Joey Barton criticising the FA's "dependence on betting companies". The FA has said it is "considering" its relationship with gambling firms. In early May, chairman Greg Clarke said the Football Association's long-term deal with betting firm Ladbrokes, as well as commercial agreements with the alcoholic drinks companies Carling, Budweiser and Carlsberg, would come under review. The FA board is expected to make a decision on whether its policies or behaviours should change this summer. Barton, 34, was released by Burnley at the end of the Premier League season. In April he was given an 18-month ban for breaching betting rules. Since 2014, players and coaches across England's top eight divisions have been banned from betting on any worldwide footballing activity. In its written reasons explaining the decision to punish Barton, the FA acknowledged his "difficulties [were] compounded by the fact betting is 'everywhere' in sport". Ten of the current 20 Premier League clubs carry shirt sponsorship from gambling companies, while adverts feature conspicuously on TV and radio. Reacting to Barton's ban in April, former Stoke winger Matthew Etherington, who lost £1.5m at the height of his gambling addiction, told BBC Radio 5 live the industry should be better "regulated". "It's very hard and complex, but everyone needs to take a little bit more responsibility - the PFA [Professional Footballers' Association], the players, the FA and the gambling organisations themselves," the 35-year-old said. Wajeha al-Huwaider and Fawzia al-Oyouni are both well-known activists. An appeal by the two women is due to be heard later this week. They took up the case two years ago of Canadian Nathalie Morin, who complained of serious abuse by her Saudi husband - an accusation he denies. The activists' high profile had seemed likely to protect them from being jailed for their outspokenness. While Wajeha al-Huwaider spear-headed the campaign to allow Saudi women to drive, Fawzia al-Oyouni runs an influential women's rights website. Ms al-Oyouni says they responded to Ms Morin's plea for help in a text message saying her husband had left her and her children at home without food or water. The two women say they went to her apartment to leave food. But Ms al-Oyouni says the text message had actually been sent by Nathalie Morin's husband in order to entrap them. He had notified the police and the two women were arrested and charged with attempted kidnap. That charge was dropped when they were sentenced last month. Instead, they were found guilty of takhbib - which according to Ms al-Oyouni means inciting a wife to defy her husband's authority. The ten-month jail sentence they were given - plus a two-year travel ban - has been condemned by human rights groups. An activist for the group Equality Now, Suad Abu-Dayyeh, told the BBC that it appeared the authorities wanted to silence the two women for their history of fighting for Saudi women's rights. King Abdullah has made moves to give women more rights - with seats on the influential Shura Council and the right to vote in the next municipal elections. But activists say these have so far been largely symbolic. The key issue for women's rights campaigners of male guardianship remains off limits for now. Suad Abu-Dayyeh describes the two women as heroes fighting incredible odds to ensure a better world. Heartlands Hospital in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham said affected patients have been transferred to other areas of the hospital. People needing emergency care should go to their nearest alternative A&E service, said the hospital. Heavy downpours caused disruption in the city from 13:30 BST on Tuesday. West Midlands Fire Service said it took 120 "weather-related calls" in two hours in addition to other calls, including dealing "with over 5,000 litres of water" at Heartlands Hospital. More on this and other Birmingham stories Parts of the Bullring shopping centre were sealed off after rainwater leaked through to the ground floor. The connecting passage to Grand Central was also affected, with shoppers tweeting videos of people dodging drips from the ceiling. Meanwhile, the Library of Birmingham is considering whether to reopen tomorrow after a flooded stairwell forced a temporary closure. The fire service said it attended an emergency callout in Upper Gornal where a lightning strike to a TV aerial caused a fire affecting three properties. Nobody was injured. Waterlogged streets across Birmingham and the Black Country caused travel disruption. Birmingham New Street Station warned commuters should "expect delays and alterations" to their services. Trams were stopped between West Bromwich Central and Handsworth Booth Street due to weather conditions. The Environment Agency has warned more heavy showers are expected over the next few days. Mark Marshall also netted a fine solo goal on the stroke of half-time as City preserved their proud unbeaten league record at Valley Parade. They went in front after 28 minutes when midfielder Josh Cullen was bundled over in the box and McMahon scored from the penalty spot. Bradford increased their lead in the third minute of stoppage-time at the end of the first half with a superb goal from Marshall. The winger accepted a pass from Alex Jones and, with everyone expecting a cross, he scored from an acute angle with a right-footed shot from near the by-line. The Bantams dominated the second half and deservedly scored a third goal in the 85th minute. Marshall accepted a cross-field pass from Cullen before sending McMahon through on the overlap and the right-back scored his second goal of the match. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

New headstones will now be erected for 85 of those who gave their lives during both world wars. One of the headstones is being replaced 100 years on from the day the soldier died. Gunner James Motherwell of the 51st Division Ammunition Column, Royal Field Artillery, 51st Highland Division, died on 18 October, 1916, aged 32. He is thought to have most likely died after coming home with injuries or illness sustained during his time fighting in the war effort. There are also two brothers who will receive new headstones. Alexander Wyper, aged 22, Writer 3rd, Royal Navy, HMS Gunner, who died on 15 May, 1918, and his older brother, John, Able Seaman, Royal Navy, who died on 20 December, 1916. All those whose headstones had to be removed were commemorated at Dalziel (Globe) Cemetery. Iain Anderson of the CWGC said: "We are always very pleased to be able to give our men and women who fought during both world wars the commemoration and recognition they deserve. "Even though our boys were commemorated at another cemetery for the last 60 years when the original headstones were removed, it's very special to be able to re-install the headstones where they lay, so everyone can remember them." McInnes says the level of performance at Pittodrie on Friday will have an influence at Hampden on 27 May. "We've got to let Celtic know we're there and we'll be there in a fortnight's time," McInnes said. "It'll be two separate games, but trying to bring a level of performance against Celtic is important." Aberdeen all but secured second place in the Scottish Premiership with last weekend's victory over Hearts - due to their superior goal difference over third-place Rangers. McInnes still wants his players to "have an edge" to their game against Celtic, who remain unbeaten domestically this season, in what he describes as a fixture with "real importance". "They'll see us as a challenge," McInnes said. "There's a respect between the teams; they'll know we're capable of causing them problems on the day. "But, by and large, they'll come here expecting to win. Because, when they're on the run of form they're on, that's what you do as a player and as a team. "We've got to make them feel otherwise during the 90 minutes. We can do all the talking before about what we want to do, we can talk afterwards, "I can be pleased with certain aspects of it, but during the game, we've got to go and do our work and do our talking." Aberdeen go into the game without captain Ryan Jack and midfielder Peter Pawlett due to injury, while Ryan Christie misses out because he is on loan at the club from Celtic. Winger Johnny Hayes is also suspended and McInnes says he won't be resting any players with the cup final in mind, although younger players will be added to the squad for the game. "The reality is we don't have too many options," the Aberdeen manager said. "We've got 16-year-old Dean Campbell in the squad tomorrow night, 17-year-old Seb Ross, alongside Frank Ross and Scott Wright. That's where we are in terms of a squad. "We don't have too many options to be resting players even if we wanted to. And it's dangerous to do that. "Just to keep all my options open for the cup final, I've got to make sure players are getting minutes. "Because, while we don't want to be going into the final carrying injuries, there may be a case that we are. So I've got to give myself enough options for that game and also to still try to win games in between. "Ryan Jack's situation is as it was. It's going to be touch and go [for the final]. Peter was scanned on his Achilles yesterday and we're waiting on results for that. Both are a real risk for the final." Aberdeen are confident of signing Scotland international Shaun Maloney when his Hull City contract expires at the end of the season, but McInnes refused to elaborate on his recruitment plans for the summer. "I don't want to comment on players at other clubs that have still got things to resolve at their own clubs," he said. "We'll be linked with a lot of players. So I can't be sitting here commenting on every player we're going to be linked with. "It's important we concentrate on the job in hand. If we sign players, we'll shout from the rooftops. We're keen to let everybody know when we sign good players." The Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party has candidates on all five regional lists for the election in May. Spokesman David Bevan said: "The Welsh Office and our 40 MPs in Westminster did the job perfectly well at a fraction of the cost. "Anything that needs to be devolved - any issues - we say devolve it to the local authorities," he added. The proposal expected in Wednesday's Budget could give elected mayors and councils powers to relax laws locally if it might boost economic activity. Current laws allows smaller shops to open all day, but restrict those over 280 sq m (3,000 sq ft) to six hours. The Association of Convenience Stores said some small shops could struggle. The Treasury pointed to research by the New West End Company - which represents more than 600 businesses in London - that suggested two extra hours of Sunday trading could create nearly 3,000 jobs in the capital. It said such a move would also generate more than £200m a year in additional sales in London. The proposal comes after larger stores and supermarkets were allowed to open for longer on Sundays during the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games. Mr Osborne said decisions on similar relaxations of the law should be taken at a local level - if officials think longer opening hours would boost economies. The chancellor said there was a "growing appetite" for shopping on a Sunday. "There is some evidence that transactions for Sunday shopping are actually growing faster than those for Saturday. "The rise of online shopping, which people can do round the clock, also means more retailers want to be able to compete by opening for longer at the weekend. "But this won't be right for every area, so I want to devolve the power to make this decision to mayors and local authorities," he added. High Street shops have been coming under growing pressure from online retailers, which now account for 11% of retail sales overall - rising to 17% in the month before Christmas of last year. A review of the 1994 Sunday Trading Act by the then Labour government in 2006 resulted in no change to the law, despite protests. Welcoming the chancellor's proposal, Adrian Pepper, from the Open Sundays campaign group, said restricting Sunday opening hours "makes no sense". "The current Sunday trading laws do not preserve any valuable cultural aspects of our way of life. They just make life more inconvenient. "If you want to go out early on a Sunday morning looking for a wide range of fresh produce to cook for a family Sunday lunch, you cannot. "If you want to go to church on a Sunday morning, there is even less time to get the shopping done," he said. But chief executive of the Association of Convenience Stores, James Lowman, said giving local authorities responsibility for setting Sunday trading hours could lead to "inconsistency and confusion" for businesses and shoppers. He said the same amount of trade would be spread over more hours and would shift from small shops to larger stores. "The short period of time that small stores are open while large stores are shut is a crucial advantage for convenience stores, most of which are owned by small businesses. "Liberalising Sunday trading hours would make some small stores unviable," he added. His story is all the more remarkable as, at the same time as learning to paint, he has been battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mr Johnston, who has lived in Swansea for the past 18 years, believes his PTSD stems from disturbing events he witnessed during his childhood in Derry, Northern Ireland, at the height of the Troubles. However, his condition was only formally diagnosed this year after his wife, Emma Cownie, began suffering similar symptoms following a car crash. Ms Cownie, an established local artist, found her art helped alleviate her stress and encouraged him to take up the hobby. Mr Johnston said: "Through photography and writing I always felt I had an artistic and creative bent, but one of the reasons I never painted was a fear of failure. And my fear of failure was acute - a symptom of PTSD." Since his diagnosis, Mr Johnston has been undergoing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, whereby lights and physical stimuli are used to break the mind's association between the troubling recurring images it has experienced and the negative emotions they provoke. But for Mr Johnston, overcoming his crippling lack of self-esteem through art has played an equally large part in his recovery. "It was all about getting over the confidence problem and the fear that I had too much to learn. But gradually, with each painting, that inherent fear of failure has started to evaporate," he said. "It was only seeing PTSD symptoms in Emma that I could come to terms with my own condition. There is such a huge denial that goes with this condition; it's a coping mechanism that helps at the time of trauma, but which gets in the way of getting better years later." In three months he has painted more than 30 portraits, which are on display this weekend at the Brynmill Coffee House in Swansea. If successful, he hopes to put together a second exhibition in the near future, this time focusing on subjects who have had to battle against addiction and mental health problems, as well as those who society have shunned for various reasons. "Something creative such as art can and does sustain therapeutic recovery for people with PTSD. In a way, what has happened to me is a message of hope to others. "Equally it was EMDR that helped me realise this potential I never realised I had." Asif Yousaf, 33, and Jama Ahmed, 26, are accused of murdering 22-year-old Jordan Thomas on 21 December. Mr Thomas was shot twice in the chest by a lone gunman as he sat in the car on Derek Dooley Way. The driver of the car, Neshaun Ferguson, was also shot. Mr Yousaf and Mr Ahmed, both from Sheffield, deny charges of murder and attempted murder. Sheffield Crown Court heard Mr Thomas had been travelling in a silver Ford Mondeo with 28-year-old Mr Ferguson when they were attacked at about 22:15 GMT. Prosecutor Bryan Cox QC said a burgundy Mitsubishi Shogun had pulled up next to their car and a man had got out and fired three shots into the vehicle before fleeing. Mr Thomas died as a result of his injuries. He told the jury that on the day of the killing, Mr Ahmed had travelled to the Birley Spa Lane area of Sheffield to purchase the Mitsubishi Shogun allegedly used in the killing. He said Mr Ahmed had then made a call to Mr Yousaf at about 21:38. The court heard that two days before the attack, Mr Thomas and Mr Ahmed had been involved in an altercation between two groups outside the Forward nightclub in Charter Square, Sheffield, after which shots were said to have been fired. Mr Cox said the incident was linked to an ongoing feud between the groups. Mr Yousaf's parents, Mohammed Yousaf, 61, and Tazeem Bi, 57, both from Sheffield, are also standing trial accused of perverting the course of justice. It is alleged they told police their son was at home at the time of the shooting. The trial continues. I was doing some ironing when my mum came in to tell me that a family friend had been killed in a road accident in Thailand. My phone was on the worktop behind me. But the next time I used the search engine on it, up popped the name of our friend, and the words, "Motorbike accident, Thailand" and the year in the suggested text below the search box. I was startled, certain that I had not used my phone at the time I had had the conversation - my hands had been full. Had I started to look the details up later on and forgotten? Or was my phone listening in? Almost every time I mentioned it to people they had a similar story, mainly based around advertising. Cybersecurity Alert special index How to hack the average home Hanging out with the script kiddies Ukraine blackout hacks 'could happen elsewhere' One friend complained to her boyfriend about a migraine, her first ever, only to find the next day she was being followed on Twitter by a migraine support group. Another had an in-depth chat with her sister about a tax issue, and the next day was served up a Facebook advert from tax experts offering advice on that exact issue. Many said they were discussing particular products or holiday destinations and shortly afterwards noticed advertising on the same theme. Community website Reddit is full of similar stories. One reporter mentioned his male colleague seeing online adverts for sanitary pads after discussing periods with his wife in the car. But surely if the microphone was activated and the handset was sending data, battery life would be even worse than it is now and individual data usage would be through the roof? I challenged cybersecurity expert Ken Munro and his colleague David Lodge from Pen Test Partners to see whether it was physically possible for an app to snoop in this way. Could something "listen in" at will without it being obvious? "I wasn't convinced at first, it all seemed a bit anecdotal," admitted Mr Munro. However, to our collective surprise, the answer was a resounding yes. They created a prototype app, we started chatting in the vicinity of the phone it was on and watched our words appear on a laptop screen nearby. "All we did was use the existing functionality of Google Android - we chose it because it was a little easier for us to develop in," said Mr Munro. "We gave ourselves permission to use the microphone on the phone, set up a listening server on the internet, and everything that microphone heard on that phone, wherever it was in the world, came to us and we could then have sent back customised ads." The whole thing took a couple of days to build. It wasn't perfect but it was practically in real time and certainly able to identify most keywords. The battery drain during our experiments was minimal and, using wi-fi, there was no data plan spike. "We re-used a lot of code that's already out there," said David Lodge. "Certainly the user wouldn't realise what was happening. As for Apple and Google - they could see it, they could find it and they could stop it. But it is pretty easy to create." "I'm not so cynical now," said Ken Munro. "We have proved it can be done, it works, we've done it. Does it happen? Probably." The major tech firms absolutely reject such an idea. Google said it "categorically" does not use what it calls "utterances" - the background sounds before a person says, "OK Google" to activate the voice recognition - for advertising or any other purpose. It also said it does not share audio acquired in that way with third parties. Its listening abilities only extend to activating its voice services, a spokesperson said. It also states in its content policy for app developers that apps must not collect information without the user's knowledge. Apps found to be breaking this are removed from the Google Play store. Facebook also told the BBC it does not allow brands to target advertising based around microphone data and it never shares data with third parties without consent. It said Facebook ads are based only around information shared by members on the social network and their net surfing habits elsewhere. Other big tech companies have also denied using the technique. There is of course also a more mathematical explanation - the possibility that there is really no connection at all between what we say and what we see. Mathematics professor David Hand from Imperial College London wrote a book called The Improbability Principle, in which he argued that apparently extraordinary events happen all the time. "We are evolutionarily trained to seek explanations," he told the BBC. "If you see a sign you know is associated with a predator you run away and you survive. "It's the same sort of thing here. This apparent coincidence occurs and we think there must be explanation, it can't be chance. But there are so many opportunities for that coincidence to occur. "If you take something that has a tiny chance of occurring and give it enough opportunities to occur, it inevitably will happen." People are generally more alert to things that are currently occupying them, such as recent conversations or big decisions like buying a car or choosing a holiday, he added. So suddenly those sorts of messages stand out more when they may have been in the background all the time. Prof Hand is not immune to the lure of coincidence himself. When his book was published another author published a very similar title at the same time. The author of The Coincidence Authority, John Ironmonger, shared the same birthday as Prof Hand and was based at the same university as his wife. "These sorts of things happen," he said. "Just because I understand why it happened doesn't make it any less beautiful." When the SDLP's John Hume met Seagate executive Brendan Hegarty in a Los Angeles bar, the investment that resulted transformed the lives of thousands of people in Londonderry. Seagate celebrates its 20th anniversary in the city this year. Since opening in 1993, the hard drive manufacturer has become Derry's largest employer, with a staff of almost 1,400. The Springtown factory makes a tiny specialised part for hard drives called a recording head. Twenty five per cent of the world's recording heads are produced from the Springtown plant. The company has invested £722m in equipment, land and buildings. Richard Gamble, director of equipment at Springtown, said he thinks few people realise the state-of-the art nature of what goes on there "behind the white walls". "The technology we're talking about here is at the nano scale, which is one-thousandth of a millionth of a metre," he said. "The analogy that we use to explain the read/write head that we make is: it's as if a recording head was a jumbo jet flying across a football pitch at cruising speed; but one inch above it and counting every blade of grass - that's how we compare what the head is effectively doing. "It is really cutting edge technology. To put it in context, we're one of only six plants in the world that make this type of technology." Phillip Gilliland, president of Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, said the £46m the firm pays in wages locally every year is "absolutely crucial". "But it's not just about the wages they are putting into the economy, it's the ambassadorial role Seagate plays when Derry is out there in the world trying to attract other investment and the mentoring role that Seagate plays to local business," he said. "When you're trying to sell a place for inward investors, your merits get you to a shortlist but then you have to find something typically subjective to clinch it for you." Mr Gilliland pointed to the example of the Republic of Ireland's IDA (Industrial Development Agency) who often brought American investors to All-Ireland hurling finals in the 1990s to differentiate Ireland from other places. "Well the Seagate story is that after the famous meeting with John Hume, the then chairman Al Shugart sent over the now chairman Steve Luczo to do a recce on Derry," he said. "Steve went back and said 'yep it's good, it deserves to be on our shortlist'. Al jumped in and said 'okay we'll do it' and Steve said 'well, that was very quick, of course we'll do it. But can I just ask you why your mind was made up so quickly?' and Al said 'because it's the right thing to do'. Dr Brian Burns is vice-president of the Seagate plant in Derry. "Al was a great guy, he really did think a lot about people and once we'd made that decision there were a lot of other things that brought us to the north west," he said. "We have a very strong education system here, really good access to technically trained people. We got excellent support from the government - you can't underestimate the part they played with Invest NI." Dr Burns said Seagate still works very closely with Invest NI and has expanded from manufacturing into research and development. "We're a very valued part of the supply chain, not only from a manufacturing perspective but we are now very heavily involved in development of the recording heads that we make," he said. "We've invested heavily in development and we now take products through from design, preproduction through development and into large scale manufacturing." "People are a huge part of why Seagate have stayed here, we invest heavily in people. Our people are hard working, dedicated, very innovative, they come up with some great solutions. "Over the years you develop a lot of knowledge and that knowledge is very, very important when you're dealing with the kind of technology we do and the knowledge base we have at Springtown is very, very important to Seagate as a whole." Seagate's success means people with advanced STEM qualifications like Rosin Monaghan have not had to move overseas to find a high-tech job. "I really never, ever thought I'd get a job like this in Derry," she said. "There's very little manufacturing work here, so the opportunities for an engineer aren't great - there are only smaller companies, so this was a great opportunity for me." While those employed at the plant in Springtown appear to be weathering the ongoing global economic storm, workers in Limavady were not so lucky. The Seagate plant there closed its doors back in 2008 leaving more than 1,000 people without a job. It was a devastating blow for the workers and the town of Limavady. Heather and Tommy Doherty from Magilligan first met in the plant and later tied the knot. Tommy was one of the original members of staff who was sent to Seagate plants in America for initial training before we returning to Limavady to a brand new factory. "Some people have been lucky enough to find work, but I don't think people realised at that time how much Seagate meant to Limavady," he said. Heather said that, even though she was working for an international company, it was "a family atmosphere". Current Vice President Dr Burns was working at the Limavady factory at the time. "It was a very difficult day knowing people that were there and the consequences of the decision," he said. "I do want to make sure people understand it wasn't about the performance of the plant or quality, it was purely a business decision and it really came down to the economics at the time and the Limavady plant wasn't economically viable." Professor Gerry Murray of the Ulster Business School said the amount of wages paid into the local economy by the company in the last 20 years is "colossal". "And the amount of spin-off to local companies has been very, very great as well and you can ally to that the amount of companies that set up not on the back of Seagate, but had a comfort factor that Seagate was already here," he said. "Many government agencies are saying you can't get a large inward investment operation like a Seagate the way the current economic climate is. "It is important to say, hold on folks we've been there, bought the t-shirt: we have a large company employing 1,300. They've been here for 20 years, they're quite happy to stay, we have a wide range of skills, a wide range of research, R&D technology etc so the fact that they are here makes it easier to sell this region to other potential inward investors." The 23-year-old midfielder powered the ball in from 25 yards as the hosts took the lead after 17 minutes. Shaun Harrad met Nathan Blissett's flick-on and rifled the ball home to extend Torquay's lead. Keeper Brendan Moore was forced into action to keep out Altrincham forward Damien Reeves as the home side picked up three vital points. The Gulls are now six points clear of the National League relegation places, while the Robins remain two points from safety with just three matches remaining. Hedley McCarthy has been leader of Blaenau Gwent council since May 2012 and leader of the Labour group for eight years. He said the council is having to make more "stringent reductions" than they did under ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. Mr McCarthy will continue to serve as a ward councillor for Llanhilleth. "To have to make cuts on the scale that we're having to do in local government is horrendous - horrific," he said. "This has been the most difficult and challenging time in the history of local government - worse than the Thatcher years - and I am weary of the cuts imposed by the Conservative government," he said. "I do not believe I am necessarily the right person to lead Blaenau Gwent into the Welsh assembly election next May, given that I have serious concerns about the way the so-called local government reorganisation has been handled, or for that matter even share the definition of the word local." Mr McCarthy will be replaced by his deputy, Stephen Thomas, from Wednesday. This will be the Lochaber side's first MacTavish final for seven years, offering them the chance to claim the cup for the first time since 1969. Kyles went a point clear in the Marine Harvest Premiership despite dropping their first point in a 1-1 draw with Oban Camanachd after Kingussie went down 2-0 to champions Newtonmore in the Badenoch derby. Lochaber gained their first points when they came back from two goals down for a 3-2 away win over Glenurquhart. Lovat defeated Glasgow Mid Argyll 2-0 at Kiltarlity. Fort William's 2-0 replay victory away to Oban Celtic sent them through to a home tie against holders Newtonmore in the Camanachd Cup. Kilmallie had a dream start in their MacTavish last-four clash with a fourth-minute goal from Duncan Rodger, and stayed in front for an hour until Finlay MacRae equalised. Michael Rodger and Calum MacDougall gave Kilmallie a vital cushion in the dying minutes and MacRae's second for Shiel in stoppage time was too little, too late. Shiel, albeit with just five games played, still have a 100% league record, while Kilmallie sit second-bottom and will celebrate a major upset as well as a senior cup final appearance. In the Premiership, Roddy MacDonald opened early for Kyles but the Tughnabruich side lost their 100% record to a Daniel MacVicar equaliser in the second half. Glen MacKintosh scored a goal in each half for Newtonmore, who have had a difficult start to the season but denied local rivals Kingussie the opportunity to go top of the table with this derby triumph. In Drumnadrochit, Glenurquhart looked to be moving further clear of bottom side Kilmallie when Neale Reid and James MacPherson put them 2-0 up midway through the first half. Lochaber's fightback began with a Brennan MacDonald penalty before second-half goals from Shaun Nicholson and Kevin Ferguson gave them their first points at the seventh time of asking. Lewis Tawse got a goal in each half to secure Lovat's 2-0 success over Glasgow Mid Argyll. Alex MacMillan in the first half and Bryan Simpson in the second scored the goals in Oban which sent lower league Fort William through to their Camanachd Cup encounter with Newtonmore at An Aird. In the second round of the Balliemore Cup, shinty's intermediate championship, Inveraray defeated Bute 3-0. In round three, Caberfeidh swept Inverness aside 6-0 at Strathpeffer with hat-tricks from Kevin Bartlett and Craig Morrison. Jack MacDonald and Kieran MacTavish got two each as Beauly won 5-1 at Taynuilt. The interconnecting rooms and workshops have the feel of an Aladdin's cave for adults and the Heath Robinson-like machinery, controlled by nimble-fingered workers, hums with long-practised skill and expertise. This is the beating heart of the Fox Umbrellas factory. The company was founded during the reign of Queen Victoria and her descendants are still customers. "Prince Charles bought his father one of our racing umbrellas," company owner Ray Garrett says. "It's got a special handle which holds a pencil to mark the racing card." They have also made umbrellas for John Steed, the dapper secret agent in The Avengers, and Mycroft Holmes in the BBC Sherlock series. The domestic market has traditionally formed the backbone of sales but exports have always been crucial to the factory. Ray says John F Kennedy liked a Malacca cane handle with a gold collar on his brolly when he was US president. Perhaps the most extravagant product to leave the Croydon, south London, factory was a specially commissioned gold model made for the Sultan of Brunei. "The frame was gold-plated, the canopy was a gold-leaf fabric and the handle was covered in diamonds and rubies. "At the time it cost £15,000, although I dread to think what it's worth now," he says. Private retail clients are just a small part of the market. The bulk of foreign sales are to department stores such as Bloomingdale's in the US and Mitsukoshi in Japan, but emerging economies are increasingly important. "We sell to the USA, Australia, western Europe, China and increasingly Russia," says Mr Garrett. "In Russia and China the new middle classes want to buy traditional, well-made British products." Last year, exports overtook domestic sales for the first time with 54% of orders coming from abroad. Fox sells around 20,000 umbrellas a year in the UK and abroad, and despite the financial crisis has continued to experience year-on-year sales growth. In the cutting room, Mr Garrett is surrounded by rolls of vividly coloured cloth. "Italy and Germany prefer darker colours whereas Japan generally goes for lighter shades," he says, before walking over to a table covered in swathes of eye-catching, patterned fabric - samples of a new Liberty print for export to Japan later this year. The colours are noticeably bright and summery. Mr Garrett explains that in Japan there is demand for umbrellas in both wet and dry weather. In the summer, the brollies are used as parasols. Crucially, the international client base means the company does not suffer seasonal slumps, because "it's always raining somewhere in the world". "If it's sunny in one country it'll be damp and drizzly somewhere else," he adds The umbrellas are not cheap, starting at £40 ($66) and going up to thousands but Mr Garrett says business was unaffected by the recession. "People who can afford it will always buy quality. Our customers are willing to spend money on a premium product. You could say we're the Rolls-Royce of umbrellas." But quality takes time and effort and umbrella making is a labour-intensive industry. From engraving names on to handles to sewing the buttons to the umbrella straps, dozens of individual processes are involved. Jan Johnson, iron in hand, is standing over an open umbrella. She explains that ironing the material on the covers does more than just create a neat finish. "Once they've been ironed, we put them on the floor so that when they cool, they fit perfectly around the shape of the frame. I normally iron about 40 covers an hour." It can take years to learn specialisms such as handle shaping and mounting and many of Fox's employees have spent most of their working lives at the factory. Ms Johnson has been with the company 13 years and one of her colleagues, George Plonka, started 55 years ago. Emerging markets may be crucial to the company's survival. But for Fox, experience is priceless. Lorna Moore, originally from County Tyrone but who lived in Walsall, was sentenced to two and a half years. Her husband, Sajid Aslam, 34, was part of a large network that heeded the militants' call for volunteers in 2014. Noel Moore, from Mountjoy outside Omagh, said his daughter was unaware of her husband's intentions. "It was a miscarriage of justice, it couldn't be anything else, my daughter didn't know where the man was going," Mr Moore said. "I think the whole thing's rubbish from start to finish. Somebody's been accused of something they didn't do and getting two and a half years in jail for it. "She didn't know that the man was going to go away. He didn't come back home after a week of holidays." Muslim convert Moore, 34, was convicted of planning to take her three young children - including an 11-month-old baby - to the war zone. Her father said there was "no way" she would have done that "She thought too much of her youngsters to take them over there," Mr Moore said. "How would you be feeling if it happened to your daughter. It's a very difficult time, what else could it be." Sentencing Lorna Moore at the Old Bailey on Monday, Judge Charles Wide QC described the trainee maths teacher as a "very strong character" and said she "knew perfectly well of [her] husband's dedication to terrorism". "One of the troubling things about you is your facility for telling lies," he added. He said Moore had told "lie after lie" to the jury during her trial and that some of her evidence was "nonsense". Police say 12 people from Walsall went to Syria or tried to do so that year. Two of the men who made it to Syria have since died, while the whereabouts of others is unclear.

Curle's side played most of the second half of the 1-0 loss without goalkeeper Mark Gillespie who was sent off for a professional foul on Tom Elliott. "What gets managers frustrated is when there's an incident and you ask the linesman what he saw," Curle said. "The stock answer is 'I didn't see it'. You're thinking if you didn't see it, it means you're not paying attention." It is the second time in a week that Curle has been critical of a refereeing decision after Jabo Ibehre was sent off after 34 seconds by Jeremy Simpson against Accrington, a decision that was ultimately overturned. Following that match, Simpson took charge of Bolton's 1-1 draw with QPR in the Championship. "As a reward, the referee [Darren Deadman] will be refereeing in the Championship next week as we had last week when, in my professional management opinion, that referee [Simpson] had a disappointing display and he was rewarded with a Championship fixture," Curle told BBC Radio Cumbria. "If we think it is a genuine sending off then we will say the referee is right and we hope he enjoys his fixture in the Championship." Curle admitted he could be in trouble for voicing his complaints about Deadman, but said it would be a waste of time time discuss his issues with him. "I've been told by the referee that he's going to report me because he asked me to go into his office to talk," Curle added. "I said we've got a six-hour coach journey and I don't want to waste the amount of time that it would take to discuss that amount of mistakes. I don't want a six-hour journey to turn into an eight-hour journey." It was pursuing the claim for Dumfries and Galloway Council female staff including nursery nurses and support for learning and classroom assistants. It argued their terms and conditions should be in line with male manual workers like refuse collectors. The Supreme Court found in their favour and referred the case back to an employment tribunal. It will now decide if the women's work should considered equivalent to the men's. More than 200 equal pay claims were brought on behalf of classroom assistants, support for learning assistants and nursery nurses working at schools in Dumfries and Galloway. By Reevel AldersonHome affairs correspondent, BBC Scotland This is a highly technical ruling -which Unison has hailed as an historic equal pay victory. A total of 251 workers, mainly female, working in Dumfries and Galloway as classroom assistants and nursery nurses claimed their pay conditions should be the same as in predominantly male occupations such as refuse collectors and groundsmen. The men get a supplement to their basic pay; the classroom assistants do not. An employment tribunal said it could look at the issue, but the council appealed against that decision in a case finally concluded today at the UK Supreme Court. Judges there ruled the tribunal can, after all, make a decision, although it will be some time before it will hear the case. Unison said the Supreme Court ruling could cost councils across Scotland £12m in compensation payments. Dumfries and Galloway says it will consider its response. They are seeking the same treatment as male manual workers such as leisure attendants, road workers, groundsmen, refuse drivers and collectors working at local depots and swimming pools. The female staff are employed on conditions set out in a what is known as the Blue Book while their male counterparts have a Green Book. The latter allows for bonus payments and pay supplements while the former does not. An employment tribunal allowed the claim to proceed but an Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) overturned that decision. It ruled there was no "real possibility" of the male workers doing their jobs in schools. The Court of Session disagreed with that finding but still dismissed the appeal on the grounds that if the men were to be employed in schools their terms and conditions would not be "broadly similar" to their existing terms. The union took the case to the Supreme Court which upheld its appeal. Unison said the decision paved the way for nearly 2,000 of its female members to share £12m in compensation after the seven-year case. Dave Prentis, Unison general secretary, said: "I am delighted that the Supreme Court has ruled in favour of our women members. "It is a shame, though, that they have had to go through this process and endure a seven-year wait, just to get equal pay. "Dumfries and Galloway Council should take immediate steps to correct their pay and I urge other councils to follow suit." Dumfries support for learning assistant Elaine North, one of the appellants, said it had been a "very long fight". "We have won what is rightfully ours and 251 women employed by Dumfries and Galloway Council will be celebrating tonight," she added. A statement for Dumfries and Galloway Council described it as a "complex case" which had seen both the Employment Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Session find in its favour. "The Supreme Court judgment is the most recent stage of the legal process," it said. "The appellants, including classroom assistants and nursery nurses, now have won the right to have their jobs compared to those of male manual workers, such as road workers and groundsmen. "This judgment has implications for many local authorities and other public bodies. "Our council will now consider its position in response to the Supreme Court judgment." The 35-year-old collapsed during a training session with his Gabonese club FC 105 Libreville. He played for the Panthers at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2010 and 2012. "We played together, we played against each other but it was always a pleasure to play alongside you," Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang posted. "Rest in peace my brother." The Gabon Football Federation (Fegafoot) announced the news and also paid their own tribute. "The country has lost a brave son who has always given his best for the Gabonese flag," Fegafoot wrote. "All our condolences to his family and team-mates." Sunderland and Gabon midfielder Didier Ndong also paid tribute to Brou Apanga on social media. "I take this moment to tell you that I'll be thinking about you every minute of this match - rest in peace big brother," the 22-year-old wrote just before he took to the field for Sunderland against Middlesbrough. "Brou Apanga a legend of Gabonese football." he added. Brou Apanga was born in Ivory Coast but during his first spell with FC 105 he was persuaded to become a Gabonese citizen by the then coach Alain Giresse. The French coach handed Brou Apanga his debut in 2007 and also helped him secure a move to Brest. "I have collapsed, I'm destroyed," Giresse, who told French newspaper L'Equipe. As well as playing for Brest in France he also had spells with Italian clubs Perugia and Brescia after originally beginning his career with FC Politehnica Timisoara in Romania. After his spell with Brest he returned to Gabon in 2012 and played for Mangasport before enjoying his second spell with FC 105 after returning earlier this year. In response to recent laws in US states, the retailer said transgender people are welcome to use the toilet of their choice at its stores. An online petition urging a boycott of Target has over a million signatures. The American Family Association (AFA) told Breitbart News it was testing Target's new policy. "We've already had people ... going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier," said Sandy Rios, AFA's director of government affairs. North Carolina and Mississippi have passed laws that require people to use public toilets that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificate. Many businesses and entertainers have criticised the measures as discriminatory. Musicians have cancelled concerts in the states and several companies have pledged to curtail their business in North Carolina. Some supporters of laws that restrict the use of public toilets said allowing transgender people to choose their restroom could lead to women and children being attacked. They said they feared that men could pose as transgender people and use legal protections as a cover. In recent days, YouTube has seen an uptick in videos showing men entering women's toilets. Police were called to a Target store in Illinois on Monday for an "active shooter situation". However, when they arrived they found an unarmed man protesting against Target's toilet policy. Michael Merichko, 39, was charged with disorderly conduct. The body of India Chipchase, 20, was found under sheeting on a mattress at a house in Stanley Road in Northampton, on 31 January. Home Office pathologist Michael Biggs told a Birmingham Crown Court jury she had "bruises around the neck consistent with pressure being applied". Edward Tenniswood, 52, of Stanley Road, Northampton, denies murder. The defendant, who worked as a bookkeeper, also denies raping Miss Chipchase. LIVE: For more on this and other stories from Northamptonshire Dr Biggs told the court the injuries were mainly bruises and scratches, some of which may have been caused by Ms Chipchase falling over after drinking alcohol. The 20-year-old's blood alcohol level was about three times the drink-drive limit, the court was told. But the jury also heard she suffered from blunt force trauma to her face and neck, consistent with assault. A post-mortem examination concluded the cause of death was pressure on the neck. Earlier, the court heard Mr Tenniswood turned up outside NB's cocktail bar in Northampton in the early hours of 30 January He "led, steered or escorted" the social care student and part-time barmaid to a taxi, took her to his rented terraced house in Stanley Road and then "raped and throttled" her, the jury was told. The trial continues. The nurse helped more than 200 allied soldiers to escape from German-occupied Belgium before being shot by firing squad in 1915. The six place settings of dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls, a teapot and sugar bowl were found during an attic clearance in Norwich and gifted to the Cavell Nurses Trust. Produced under the Steelite mark, Royal Doulton's hotel range, the collection carries three hallmarks which Staffordshire ceramics experts dated to between 1968 and post-1983. It is not known why the pieces were commissioned. Joe Perry, researcher at the Stoke-on-Trent Potteries Museum, said: "The hallmarks throw up a strange range of dates. "Our best guess would be the set was made near or after 1983, but utilised some pieces that had been manufactured prior to this but had yet to be decorated. "The closest significant anniversary to Cavell's death would be 1985 marking 70 years - so the commemoration of Edith Cavell would seem the most likely reason for their production." Edith Cavell, born at Swardeston, near Norwich, worked as a nurse at the Berkendael Institute in Brussels during World War I. Arrested in August 1915 for helping allied soldiers, she was executed within hours of her October trial. Her body was exhumed from her execution site in 1919 and given a military escort to Dover and then on to Westminster Abbey for a memorial ceremony. She was finally laid to rest in the grounds of Norwich Cathedral. Alison Bradbury, of Steelite International, said the pattern on the pieces was produced by a Murray Curvex printing machine "but has not been manufactured in red and brown for the hospitality industry since the early 1980s". "The badge looks like it was put on by a third party decorator," she added. Nick Miller, keeper of Cavell memorabilia for St Mary's Church, Swardeston, said: "I was hoping there might be some more detail showing on the plates and other items referring to Edith - as it is, it only has a head and shoulders picture of a woman and the word Norwich. "That said, I have no doubt it is in memory of Edith Cavell, given the likeness of the portrait." A variety of memorabilia was produced following Cavell's death. Some raised money for the Cavell Rest Homes for Nurses, others were purely commercial items similar to those produced to commemorate a royal wedding. Despite the likeness to the wartime heroine, Norwich Museum's curator of decorative art has questioned the service's Cavell credentials. "This picture has the wrong style of cap, it looks as if she is wearing lipstick and is slightly soft and feminine, almost as if she's out of a fashion plate," said Francesca Vanke. "It may be the context at the time explained everything - if the pottery was made for a Cavell 70th anniversary party in the [Norwich] Edith Cavell pub, for instance - it wouldn't need to look like her, as everyone would know who it was meant to be. "The other possibility, and one I think quite likely, is that this is not connected with Edith at all, but was the logo of a Norwich restaurant or hotel or similar." It seems the exact origins of the crockery will be never be known as no records appear to exist as to the "third-party decorator". Mr Miller said the collection will stay in Swardeston among the Edith Cavell memorabilia held in the village, with the hope of putting some of the items on permanent display in the village for the 2015 centenary of her execution. The prince and the Duchess of Cornwall visited the Belgian battlefield before unveiling the memorial at Hougoumont Farm, a key site in the fighting. Events are marking the 200th anniversary of the battle, which cost thousands of British and allied lives in the defeat of Napoleon's forces. Relatives of the three commanders at Waterloo also attended the unveiling. The 9th Duke of Wellington, Prince Nikolaus von Blucher of Prussia and Prince Charles Bonaparte also took part in a symbolic three-way handshake of friendship at the event. The farm at Hougoumont played a crucial role in the victory of the Duke of Wellington's allied army over Napoleon's French forces in 1815, and saw some of the fiercest fighting of the battle. The memorial depicts two life-size soldiers struggling to close the farm's north gate to save it from being overrun by the French. Soldiers from the Coldstream Guards managed to shut the gate and Wellington later said the outcome of Waterloo "turned on the closing of the gates at Hougoumont". Robert Hall, BBC News In front of the great North Gate of Hougoumont Farm, descendants of three Waterloo commanders shook hands, and remembered the events which reshaped European history. The 9th Duke of Wellington, Prince Charles Bonaparte and Prince Blucher von Wahlstatt (pictured left to right), were here to celebrate today's Europe, and to remember the thousands who still lie on this battlefield. Hougoumont Farm looks much as it did in 1815, thanks to a seven-year restoration programme; here British and Hanoverian troops held their nerve against a much larger French force, and passed into military folklore. It was chosen as the site of the first memorial commissioned to mark the endeavours of the whole British army at Waterloo, and unveiled by Prince Charles after a tour of the rolling farmland where more than 40,000 men were killed or wounded. Among them were the forerunners of today's Guards Regiments - soldiers who had taken part in last weekend's Trooping the Colour ceremony - who donned period uniforms to mirror events at the gates. This event was the first of many over the next few days. Tens of thousands of visitors will gather to watch more than 5,000 re-enactors recreate the battle as the Waterloo story unfolds once more. In a reversal of history on Wednesday, 10 Guardsmen from No 7 Company Coldstream Guards, dressed in 1815 period costume, carried out the official opening of the gates at the farm. While other monuments recognise individual regiments that fought at Waterloo, the sculpture by Vivienne Mallock is the first to pay tribute to all British troops. Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall took a tour of the battlefield, starting at La Belle Alliance Farm - which served as Napoleon's headquarters. Accompanied by the 9th Duke of Wellington - they then walked along a farm track, skirting the edge of the battlefield site. The royals - along with Belgium's Princess Astrid - also took a tour of Hougoumont, which has undergone a £3m project to restore it following years of neglect. Camilla has a direct connection with the new monument as her great-great-great-grandfather, John Whitehill Parson, fought at Waterloo while serving with the 10th Regiment of Light Dragoons. Barry van Danzig, a trustee of the Hougoumont Project which led efforts to restore the farm, said the closure of the gates "ended 800 years of conflict between France and Britain and brought in 100 years of peace", describing it as a "cornerstone of European history." He added: "The monument to the whole British Army is important - we all hear about Wellington's victory but it was the guys on the ground that did it." More than 5,000 enthusiasts are due to perform battle re-enactment displays over the weekend as the bicentenary commemorations continue. On Thursday, there will be a national service at London's St Paul's Cathedral to commemorate the anniversary of the battle. The prince and duchess will attend, along with the Earl of Wessex, the current Duke of Wellington, senior members of the armed forces and descendants of those who fought at Waterloo. The battle was fought after French emperor Napoleon conquered large swathes of Europe, before being defeated by allied forces in 1814. He was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba, but escaped the following year, and on 18 June 1815 his troops again faced the combined allied forces at Waterloo - about 10 miles from the Belgian capital, Brussels.

In reaction to the move, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 hit a seven-year high, up 1.3%, while the Australian dollar slumped to a six-year low of $0.7650. The RBA is the latest central bank to loosen monetary policy to boost growth amid falling oil and commodity prices. It follows China, Canada, Singapore, Korea and India that have all cut interest rates in recent months. Australia is dealing with an economic slowdown, largely due to a drop off in mining investment, which had been a driver of the resource-rich economy. "The available information suggests that growth is continuing at a below-trend pace, with domestic demand growth overall quite weak. As a result, the unemployment rate has gradually moved higher over the past year," RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said in a statement on Tuesday. In December, Australia's economic growth for the third quarter came in well below expectations, while its unemployment rate hit a 12-year high of 6.3% in November. After holding its fire for almost a year-and-a-half, the central bank has pulled the trigger on lower interest rates because of worries about the economy, both at home and abroad. An unprecedented cash rate of 2.25% is aimed at reigniting domestic confidence and performance by encouraging businesses and households to spend and borrow more. As profits and investment in the mining sector decline, growth here has faltered, and making money cheaper is the main weapon in the Reserve Bank's armoury. Some economists had, though, argued that a falling Australian dollar and lower oil prices were already doing the work of a rate cut by boosting GDP and reducing household fuel bills. There is a concern, too, that historically low interest rates may fuel an already-upbeat housing market, which has risen by about 20% nationally since the rate-reduction cycle started in late 2011. Depending on what lenders do, mortgage holders should benefit by seeing an average home loan fall by around A$56 ($43; £28) a month. The big question now is does the Reserve Bank have more rate cuts in its sights? Katrina Ell, an economist at Moody's Analytics, said Australia's low inflation environment, coupled with the global wave of policy easing also drove the cut. On Monday, a private survey showed that consumer price inflation rose just 0.1% in January from December, while the annual pace of 1.5% was the lowest reading since July 2012. The grinning tiger in a small village in Garut was supposed to be a mascot for the Siliwangi Military Command. But internet users found it hilarious because it was so different from the fierce tiger on official logos. "I don't know why, but every time I see its face, I laugh... buahaha," said one Facebook user. The tiger had been in place for several years, but only recently found internet fame. Vincent Candra told the BBC he had laughed a lot when he saw the picture of the tiger and decided to share it on Twitter. It has since travelled across social media and made its way into the national media. Many have poked fun at the tiger's cartoonish appearance, while others edited it into film posters and surreal scenarios. Other people uploaded more weird looking tiger statues they had seen in front of army bases. "I didn't expect it will go viral," said Vincent. "I felt sad when I found out that the statue was destroyed." On Monday, the army moved in to put the tiger out of its misery, demolishing it with chisels. Siliwangi military commander Maj Gen Herindra told the BBC the statue had been "made long time ago in Cisewu district". "Every unit has their own decision on how the statue was made, but sometimes the artist was not that good." People who had been enjoying the humour online instead expressed grief. "RIP Cisewu tiger, thank you for entertaining us," said one Twitter user. One had an alternative suggestion, saying it would have been better to "move it into the zoo, so children can take selfies with it". A parody Facebook page, Indonesia's Humour Ministry [or Kementerian Humor Indonesia] said a lot of people were "broken hearted". As one of first sites to share the photo last week, they said they felt "a bit guilty" that it had now gone. So they made a special "goodbye cartoon" to remind everyone of its unique grinning face. Gen Herindra said the army would be looking at other statues in the region to see if they are "consistent with the original [military] emblem". "If some of them are not good, we will change them," he said. But he also promised a new tiger statue would be installed at the Siliwangi base, which was "more similar" to the command's logo. The 26-year old has signed a three-year deal and becomes Cardiff's fifth signing of the summer. Ward scored 12 goals for Rotherham last season and played under Neil Warnock in 2016 when the Cardiff manager was in charge at the New York Stadium. "I've worked with Danny and I know what he's about... either scoring goals or making them," Warnock said. "He played wide left, right, in the hole, up front; Danny's a crowd-pleaser with very good energy levels, but I also think there's a lot more to come from him. "I've been chasing Danny since Christmas and I think we've finally got him now for an excellent price. "Danny knows what I want and this is a great opportunity for him." Ward, who has also played for Huddersfield Town, says he is excited to play at the Cardiff City Stadium. "I'm really glad to get everything sorted before pre-season starts and looking forward to getting going," Ward said. "I've played at Cardiff City Stadium a few times and always enjoy it; it's a lovely place to play. Hopefully we can fill it up in the new season and really get going. "The gaffer and his team really turned things round at Rotherham when they came in and I loved playing for them. I'm looking forward to it again at my new club." The Bluebirds have also signed goalkeepers Lee Camp and Neil Etheridge this summer on free transfers as well as Scotland defender Callum Paterson and winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.

Ian Katz said some of the reaction to the debate on whether the language was a "help or hindrance to the nation" had a "whiff" of "unwillingness" to tackle questions over its promotion. Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg called his letter "belittling". The BBC previously said the item should have included a Welsh speaker. It said it had no new statement to make on Mr Katz's letter, which also said Cymdeithas was unable or unwilling to appear on the programme - a claim the organisation said was untrue. The letter was responding to North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner and Plaid Cymru member Arfon Jones, who complained to Mr Katz following the programme. Mr Jones wrote his letter in Welsh and in an initial response Mr Katz said: "Did you mean to send it to me in Welsh? If so, you'll appreciate that I won't be able to reply till I have had it translated." In a further letter to Mr Jones, the editor accepted the programme's guest casting was not good enough, and the wording of its introduction "was cruder than it should have been". But he said he would "strongly argue that the question of whether the public promotion of the Welsh language is effective and beneficial to Wales is a perfectly legitimate subject of debate". "We should have approached it with more subtlety, I agree, but there is a whiff in some of the response to our item of an unwillingness to even countenance such an impertinent question," he added. Mr Katz also said it was a "fair" point the debate should have included a fluent Welsh speaker, adding the Welsh Language Commissioner and Cymdeithas were invited on "but they were sadly unable or unwilling to participate". Cymdeithas said that was untrue and they had told a researcher the group could appear live and had offered to go to a studio. The Welsh Language Commissioner said it informed Newsnight the programme could use an interview which had already been given to the BBC, and also provided the programme with a statement. The organisation's chairwoman Heledd Gwyndaf said: "This is part of a pattern by the BBC of belittling Wales and the Welsh Language. "The letter is factually wrong, arrogant and patronising." She added that the letter was so "frightening" she believed "the editor of Newsnight should resign due to his prejudicial attitude". Mr Jones called the response "trivial and soulless" and "patronising in tone". He added: "They have tried to apologise but it's not really an apology." More than 8,000 people have signed a petition calling for an independent review of how the BBC portrays the Welsh language. In a statement issued earlier in August the BBC said: "Whilst different perspectives were included in this item on the Welsh language, the discussion of such an important subject would have benefited from more thorough analysis and debate. "We regret that, but believe it was important to look at this topic and we will do so again in the future." A later statement said it understood why viewers felt the item was "biased" with guests "poorly chosen". A senior editor from Newsnight will be in Wales next month on a fact finding mission visit arranged by the Welsh Language Commissioner. The Sons took the lead thanks to an own goal from goalkeeper Derek Gaston, whose attempted punch from a cross spun into his own net. Substitute Kudus Oyenuga had not been field for two minutes when the striker finished from Michael Tidser's cross just after the hour. Oyenuga should have had a second but he fired wide from inside the box. With momentum having swung Morton's way, Grant Gallagher headed Ricki Lamie's cross against his own post. Joe Thomson had a late effort ruled out for the visitors and Oyenuga headed wide in the closing moments as the Ton came closest to a winner. Match ends, Morton 1, Dumbarton 1.

The 33-year-old Irish midfielder has spent four seasons at Griffin Park, making 96 league appearances since joining from Swindon Town. He was named supporters' player of the year in his first season as Brentford won promotion from League One. Injuries have limited McCormack's appearances this season to just 10 Championship games. Mr Trump, a Republican, has never run for the party's nomination before, but has often talked about it. "I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again," he told supporters at New York's Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue. He said his fortune would allow him to be an effective president. "Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have victories anymore," he said. "When was the last time anyone saw us beating, let's say, China in a trade deal? "They kill us. I beat China all the time." Donald Trump is actually running for president. Few people expected it to happen - he's gone through the motions many times before - and his political rants up until now have been roundly derided as a joke. But this time he actually said the words, and he seems like he means it. With campaign staff in key early voting states and a net worth he puts at more than $8.5bn, he has the resources to roil the Republican presidential field. Mr Trump is polling high enough to get a spot on the stage in the forthcoming Republican debates, and he's already proven a willingness to take swings at his opponents. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio "don't have a clue", he said in his announcement speech. "How are these people going to lead us?" he asked. If he says that enough times during a debate - or in a multi-million dollar television advertising spree - a lot of people are going to stop laughing and take notice. And that's probably just what Mr Trump wants. Mr Trump expressed support for gun rights and said he would protect US government programmes like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. And he said he would "immediately terminate" President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration, which would save undocumented migrants from deportation. "Sadly, the American Dream is dead", Mr Trump said. "If I get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and strong than ever before. We will make America great again." He becomes the 12th Republican to declare, with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Florida's former governor Jeb Bush among the early frontrunners. US 2016: Meet the possible candidates Laverty was able to walk away from the incident, which happened with six laps to go after his bike collided with Alex Lowe's Yamaha and burst into flames as it span off the track. Ducati's Chaz Davies was the winner as officials quickly halted the race. Jonathan Rea came second to maintain his lead in the world championship. Laverty appeared to be attempting an overtaking manoeuvre when the front wheel of his Milwaukee Aprilia came into contact with Lowe's bike. The Antrim native attempted to stay on the track but his bike spun out of control and Laverty managed to jump clear before it skidded across the gravel trap and burst into flames when it collided with the crash barrier. The fire was quickly under control and Laverty was helped to his feet and taken to the medical centre for a check-up. The incident resulted in red flags at the start of lap 13, meaning Davies was awarded his second race victory of the season. The Welshman had already been in control after a blistering start had taken him over six seconds clear of Rea, the reigning world champion, with Marco Melandri in third. Rea, who started in third place on the grid, overtook Melandri during the early stages to pick up more championship points and the Kawasaki Racing Team rider is now 71 points clear of his team-mate Tom Sykes. "It was a great day for me," Rea said after claiming a podium finish. "It's probably the best position I could have hoped for today, given the track." "Chaz and his team deserved the win. Today was a difficult one of us and hopefully tomorrow can be a little bit better." The riders will return to action on Sunday with their second race of the weekendd taking place at 1pm local time at Imola. As Kenya's government tries to fulfil its 2013 election pledge to give first year primary school students access to laptops, Kizito will not be able to benefit from the ambitious $600m (£425m) Digischool scheme. Instead he will continue to use scraps of paper to write down his notes, keeping them bundled in a small black plastic bag. "He doesn't have proper books so he borrows paper plucked from other pupils books," says Florence Misiko, the head teacher at St Jude Nabuyeywe in Bungoma, a poor farming area. Kizito and his six siblings live with their grandmother, who cannot afford to buy exercise books. At school, he sits on the dusty floor with his 90 classmates, using torn cardboard boxes and worn out sacks as mats. "It is really hard for these pupils to learn like this," says Mrs Misiko. "But we are doing everything we can even with little resources. We have actually just received several bags of cement from the county government to finish off the floors of the classes. "But we need much much more, as you can see," she says, pointing at the gaping holes where windows and doors should be. "Even if we get laptops, how would we have used them under these conditions? Our priority now is getting students desks and enough books." But those government primary schools that do have electricity - and an internet connection - will be getting laptops for first year students - along with computer labs. It has taken the government three years to start to make good its election pledge because of a long-running tendering dispute. The whole concept has also changed from one laptop per child to setting up shared computer labs. St Jude Nabuyeywe is typical of many schools in poor and rural areas of Kenya - connection to the electricity grid and internet remains a pipe dream, but Digischool backers say it will benefit 1.2 million pupils at more than 23,000 schools countrywide. A digital curriculum has also been developed locally and some of the laptops will be manufactured by the Jomo Kenyatta University of Technology. Sarah Ruto, an education researcher, says the digitisation project is a good investment. "But I think it is important to acknowledge that technology is not a miracle pill that will solve our problems, rather it is an opportunity for improving things," she says. She adds that 20% of Kenya's primary schools do not have the basic necessities. Kenyan Information Minister Joe Mucheru agrees there are issues that need resolving and says several government ministries are working in tandem to ensure that infrastructure in schools is improved alongside the laptop rollout. "We want to prepare our children and our schools for 21st Century jobs. You have to start from somewhere," the minister says. "You can't say they have nothing - they have books, they have teachers, they have curriculum, but it's time we inject the digital content into our curriculum." In stark contrast to Bungoma, children at a school in a sprawling low-income area of the capital, Nairobi, are excitedly chatting in the playground about the imminent arrival of their computers. Roysambu Primary School is among 150 schools chosen to pilot the project. "I can't wait to learn new things and play educative games on the laptops," says 10-year-old Lincoln Maina - even though his class is not directly in line to get the computers funded out of the education ministry's $3bn annual budget. "I have used a computer before and I will teach my friends a few of the games I enjoy at home," he says. Sarah Nyota, head teacher at Roysambu Primary School: "The world out there is moving fast and we cannot as a country afford to remain behind in terms of technology" It is not only the pupils who are enthusiastic at Roysambu, parents are giving it their full backing and are donating laptops to help expand the pool of computers so all 1,700 students get a chance to use them. Head teacher Sarah Nyota says some parents even helped build the storage facility and charging units for the laptops. "The world out there is moving fast and we cannot as a country afford to remain behind in terms of technology," she says. She has plans to rotate classes over weekends and school holidays to make sure all pupils get a chance to use the computers. And the intention is to expand the project so all pupils can have better access to computers, says Mr Mucheru. ''If we don't have our young children trained on digital, they will be even worse off than we think they will be." John McGinn's terrific 25-yard drive put Hibs ahead after 12 minutes. The Scotland midfielder had another long-range effort saved just after the break, before Higginbotham converted from the spot following a hand-ball. Hibernian's lead at the league summit has been cut to nine points, after Falkirk beat Raith Rovers, with five matches remaining. The Easter Road side made the trip across the Forth with the backing of around 4,000 supporters, and the visitors began the game in fine style. Jason Cummings made space down the left and his cross into the box was ushered clear by Callum Morris with Brian Graham lurking just behind. McGinn, very much the Hibs fulcrum, broke the deadlock with a low, thunderous effort that left Pars goalkeeper Sean Murdoch with no chance. The East End Park surface was not conducive to slick, passing football with multiple bare patches hindering the players' efforts to control the ball. In the Hibs goal, Ofir Marciano's error almost gifted the hosts an equaliser, when he allowed a back-pass to trickle under his foot. Paul McMullan pounced on the loose ball, but the Israeli international recovered well to block the striker's shot. The visitors began the second half with the same verve and energy as they had the first. Murdoch parried away another McGinn piledriver, and although Cummings clipped the rebound across the face of goal, his strike partner Graham skewed wide from six yards out. The roles were reversed a few moments later when Cummings missed a golden opportunity to double Hibs' lead from a Graham cross, before, at the other end, Nicky Clark's header drifted just wide of the target. Just before the hour mark, Dunfermline drew level in controversial circumstances. The ball was flicked into the away box, with Pars players claiming it struck the arm of Lewis Stevenson. Referee Greg Aitken took time to make his decision, but eventually pointed to the spot. Marciano got his hand to Higginbotham's spot-kick, but the ball crept into the bottom corner of the goal. Neither goalkeeper was troubled in the final half-hour, and despite a 12th draw of the season, Hibernian are another step closer to returning to the Premiership. Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "I thought we were excellent first half, really good value for the lead. They get a penalty which is debatable - if it's the correct decision, it's probably the only one the referee made all afternoon, as far as I'm concerned. "I'm not too sure Lewis could do much about (the penalty); he's about a yard away. His arm's maybe deemed to be in an unnatural position. He booked Dylan McGeouch for diving - it's ridiculous. And some of the other decisions I wasn't pleased about. I just think the standard of refereeing's not great at the minute. "We just need to keep ticking off the games at the minute. We should be putting these games away, because we had total control of the game for long periods. "We keep dragging it out - that's annoying, but we're nearly there."

Retailer H&M has announced it will move into the property as it opens a new flagship store. H&M will also retain its existing unit in nearby Buchanan Galleries to house one of its other brands. A spokeswoman for Forever 21 said: ""Forever 21 is constantly evaluating our portfolio of stores and has proposed one recent store closure in Glasgow. "We made the proposal to close this store after careful consideration of the long-term profitability of the particular location. "Forever 21 operates multiple stores across Europe, where our customers will continue to have access to the fast fashion they have come to love and expect from Forever 21." Owners of the Buchanan Quarter building said there had been strong demand from parties interested in the 65,000sq ft space being vacated by Forever 21. A spokesman for Land Securities said: "Immediately following the Forever 21 decision to exit, we received strong interest in the store on Buchanan Street and subsequently let the unit to H&M as a flagship. "The strong demand for the space reinforces Glasgow city centre's position as the UK's top retail destination outside London." H&M country manager Carlos Duarte said: "We are delighted to be relocating to 185 Buchanan Street. This is a very exciting opportunity to expand our brand. "The store will offer something for everyone, no matter your age, budget or personal style." The annual Festival of Faith is rooted in Catholic devotion to the Virgin Mary and nine successive days of services known as a novena. About 15,000 people are expected to attend the sessions at Clonard Monastery in west Belfast. The monastery has recently been restored and the roof and floor have been replaced. Father Michael Murtagh said the renovation has been completed successfully "We are very happy and relieved that we have reached this stage," he said. "The tiles were in tatters but they have now been cleaned. We have also installed under floor heating and the building is now ready for the traditional schedule of services." The novena now also has a large online following: "For the last seven or eight years we have been broadcasting live on the internet and we have around 5,000 people watching the services each day." said Father Murtagh. "It's an experience of God and it's really an experience of the church at it's best. People are really lifted out of whatever is dragging them down and they get a lift in faith and a lift in hope." According to tradition the novena will end with a sing-a-long led by the priest. During the war years, Clonard was a place of shelter for the citizens of west Belfast when Catholics and Protestants sheltered together in the vaults of the church during air raids. But the monastery, which sits on Belfast's peace line, also has a special significance in Northern Ireland's peace process. Several of its redemptorist priests were involved as intermediaries between republicans and others in the political establishment at various key times in the Troubles. Cerberus has a dominant position in the Northern Ireland commercial property market, having spent more than £2.5bn buying loan portfolios. The legal challenge is being taken by Belfast businessman Gareth Graham He is contesting the fund's right to appoint receivers and administrators to a number of his companies. It is understood to be the first legal challenge Cerberus has faced since it began operating in Northern Ireland. The court is due to rule on preliminary issues next week. Stephen Shaw QC, for Cerberus, said the two main issues were around what scope of action the receivers and administrators would have pending a trial and the matter of costs. He told a judge that Mr Graham was seeking access to rental income from some properties that are the subject of the disputed receiverships. Monye Anyadike-Danes QC, for Mr Graham, said the issue of whether of a court case would require oral evidence also needed to be decided. Cerberus' business model involves borrowers rapidly repaying their loans by selling properties or finding new financial backers. A number of borrowers have been able to reach a deal with Cerberus but it has also enforced some loans by appointing administrators or receivers. Cerberus has previously said it has "a long and demonstrated history of treating our borrowers consistently and fairly". Scottish Borders Council has backed proposals to erect the statue in his home town of Peebles. The sculpture of a horse and rider jumping a five-bar gate will be made from recycled and re-shaped horse shoes. The 30-year-old made history in September as the first person to win showjumping's grand slam. Riding Hello Sanctos, he scooped the sport's biggest individual prize of 1m Euros (£806,000). Community group Bonnie Peebles applied to the local authority to erect a statue in his honour at the junction of Edinburgh Road and The Bridges. In their application, secretary Margaret Wightman said: "This new project is to recognise the amazing achievements of local lad Scott Brash who has gone on to be world number one showjumper. "We are excited to have this idea for public art for all to enjoy and delighted with the design by Kevin Paxton, blacksmith. This site is ideal to display such a unique work of sculpture." The group of volunteers, who improve and maintain parts of town, said the sculpture would be three metres high (10ft) and three metres wide. Last year, Brash was the subject of a social media campaign after complaints that he was overlooked for nomination for BBC Sports Personality of the Year. British Showjumping said they were "naturally extremely disappointed" that he was not nominated. The 58-year-old has decided to go public with the gender change because she says there is "a much better acceptance and understanding". Millar was best known for winning the King of the Mountains prize in the Tour de France in 1984. Philippa York, who becomes the first high-profile cyclist to go public, made the statement on cyclingnews.com. York, who says she has been going through the transition since 2000, added: "The outcome of that journey has meant that for a considerable time now I have lived as Philippa. "The steps taken over a prolonged period under the watchful eye of the medical profession to complete the transition from one gender to another can be difficult and are always only taken after much soul searching and anguish." The Scot is part of ITV4's commentary team, alongside fellow former cycling professionals Chris Boardman and David Millar, for the Tour de France, which runs until 23 July. "As much as I've guarded my privacy over the years there are a few, I believe obvious, reasons to why I haven't had a public "image" since I transitioned. "Gratifyingly, times have moved on from ten years ago when my family, friends and I were subjected to the archaic views and prejudice that some people and certain sections of the tabloid media held." Millar finished fourth in the 1984 Tour de France - a British record at the time. Millar also came second in the 1985 and 1986 Tours of Spain, as well as runner-up in the 1987 Giro d'Italia. He won three mountain stages in the Tour, all in the Pyrenees. "While there has been some speculation concerning my gender over the past decade, perhaps it'll now be better understood why unwelcome and unasked for intrusions into that transition have been damaging not only to myself but to those I love," York said. "Thankfully the people in my family who I cherish have since matured and grown into strong and independent individuals, therefore the need to protect them has lessened. "This, combined with their support, encouragement and the shift in modern society's attitudes, means that this will be a step forward for everyone." "As much as various articles and blogs have been published using my former identity of Robert, well that was then and this is now. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the different organisations and those 'in the know' for guarding my privacy as long as they have." New figures for June show that 95.5% of people who presented at A&E were dealt with within four hours. The Scottish government wants at least 95% of patients to be seen, and subsequently admitted, discharged or transferred within that time. Only the Glasgow and Forth Valley health boards missed the target. The ISD Scotland monthly statistics reveal that there were 138,813 attendances at Scotland's emergency departments in June. That marks a significant drop on the previous month, when there more than 150,000 attendances, 94% of which were dealt with within four hours. The latest weekly statistics for July show A&Es have continued to meet their targets, with performance hitting 95.3% in the week ending 23 July. They highlight a recent trend in which NHS Scotland meets its targets in the summer, but fails to reach it during winter months. In July last year, 95.8% of patients were treated within four hours, but that figure fell to 91.9% in January. Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "It is very encouraging that performance across Scotland was above the 95% target for June, and that Scotland's A&Es have outperformed those in the rest of the UK for more than two years. "The weekly statistics for core sites are also above that level for the second week in a row. "These positive results are thanks to the hard work of staff on the ground, both in emergency departments and elsewhere in the health and social care system. "While we can expect some fluctuation week-to-week depending on seasonal pressures there has been continued focus on improvements in patient flow. "For example, we are ensuring more people are discharged before noon and at weekends, helping to reduce delayed discharge, and meaning patients can be admitted to hospital more quickly if required. "An additional £9m has been given to boards this year to help them continue these sustainable improvements in unscheduled care." Sir Jonathan Stephens said the leaks created uncertainty and pointed out that they were sometimes wrong. The news of Lenny Henry's knighthood and Benedict Cumberbatch's CBE broke earlier this week. At the end of last year an inquiry was launched when the same thing happened. Awards to actors Joan Collins, James Corden and Sheridan Smith were mentioned prematurely in the press. Reports said rugby player Jonny Wilkinson was set to receive a knighthood before it emerged that he was not included. This year he has become a CBE. Sir Jonathan said the Honours Committee had tightened security, but would have to look again at its practices. "We made a number of changes to tighten up procedure and to tighten up access and we'll obviously be looking to learn lessons again from the experience this time," he said. "Sometimes of course the leaks are inaccurate, so we treat it very seriously." Honour recipients find out weeks in advance, but are urged to keep the news confidential as are Cabinet officials until the announcement. Dame Esther Rantzen said she suspected whoever was revealing the information was "doing it for money". The Childline founder and TV presenter, whose own inclusion in the New Year Honours list emerged before the formal announcement, said: "I think it is mean - it is like opening a Christmas present before Christmas Day." She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "There is someone in the mysterious smoke-filled rooms who is looking at the list. "Whoever is doing it... I think they are being paid quite a lot, because of Lenny Henry, a big name, and big articles and front page and all that. "But I wish they wouldn't because it is taking candy from a baby. The nation like the surprise package." There were 363 cases in 2005-2006, compared with 652 admissions in 2014-2015. The figures emerged two days after a couple in charge of a dog which attacked two women in separate incidents were jailed. Leeane McHugh, 35, and Patrick Maher, 46, had previously admitted separate dangerous dog charges. The second victim of the couple's Japanese Akita was 60-year-old Sylvia Baillie, who was bitten on the cheek at her Paisley home in July 2016. Speaking to BBC Scotland's Timeline programme, Ms Baille said the couple and their dog had been in her house after a funeral. "I was patting it, it was fine and it was giving me its paw so I didn't feel intimidated or anything." But she said when she leant over the couch to pat the dog goodbye, it attacked. "All I seen was the dog's teeth coming towards me and it grabbed me. It was from the ear right round my jaw. "And from there I did collapse and I passed out." Ms Baille needed 17 stitches in the left side of her face and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. "They wouldn't show me my face. I was allowed up with my drip to go to the toilet. I seen my face in the mirror and I was just shaking like a leaf. "It wasn't me I was looking at in the mirror - it was like the elephant man. My face was so swollen." Ms Baille could not eat solids for 10 weeks and said she would not be able to approach a dog again. She told the BBC she believed the dog should have been destroyed after attacking the other woman just a month earlier. "I'd like to see a dog on a lead at all times and plus if they know it's out of control it should be muzzled," she added. The Timeline programme also uncovered an apparent contrast in how local authorities deal with dangerous dogs. As an example, it highlighted figures from Fife and from Glasgow. Fife has issued 196 dog control notices since 2011, when councils were given these powers. Glasgow, which has a larger population, issued just three notices.

Figures released to mark World Malaria Day show death rates have fallen by 40% since 2000 - but the disease still claims 600,000 lives every year. Cardiff Met's African Partnership Initiative has been working to reduce levels of malaria, particularly among children, in rural areas of Uganda. It has helped 40 households take measures to fight the disease. The homes, all containing children under five or pregnant women, have received equipment, nutritional advice and repairs to their houses. They are also used as training grounds for their home communities and people from other villages. Source: Ugandan Ministry of Health The African Partnership Initiative, which has received funding from the Welsh government and expertise from Cardiff and Vale Local Health Board, has also trained locals to act as community health workers. Cardiff Met Professor George Karani said: "This work has delivered huge benefits and will continue to do so due in the long-term due to the sustainable elements such as community health workers." She posted a poem on the social media site Reddit to say that her boyfriend, Alexis Ohanian, had asked her to marry him. She said he proposed to her in Rome, where they first met - and she said yes. Serena won her seventh Wimbledon title this year, taking her to 22 Grand Slam titles overall. Alexis is the co-founder of Reddit and started it in 2005, with his friend from college. Danny Whitaker broke the deadlock from the spot after Reece Styche was brought down by Braintree's Sam Habergham. Styche set up Danny Rowe to score from close range before John McCombe headed in Whitaker's cross to extend the lead. Simeon Akinola pulled one back, but Braintree stayed one place below the play-off spots as Macclesfield made it six league games without defeat. The 53-year-old, who has also coached at Llanelli and Cardiff Blues, will sit on the WRU's executive board. John will step up from elite coach development manager to one of the two new WRU positions replacing the old head of rugby Josh Lewsey. "I'm looking forward to working with the regions and Premiership clubs so Wales reaches its potential," he said. John returned to the Wales set-up - which has won four Six Nations titles, including three Grand Slams since 2005 - in September 2015. John had worked as Canada's high performance manager and sevens coach before joining Australia as director of sevens and sevens head coach. "Geraint has impressed everyone since his return to Welsh rugby last year," said WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips. John will work alongside a new WRU new head of rugby participation - a role that has not yet been filled, which will concentrate on improving the amateur game. Following reports that new legislation was being prepared, the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure told the BBC the draft had not yet been finalised. The hardware would record the decisions made by a car's computer while being used in autonomous mode. It could pinpoint the cause of a crash. The draft law was expected to be sent to other ministries for approval this summer, Reuters reported. Self-driving car technology has been under close scrutiny following the fatal crash of a Tesla vehicle being operated in Autopilot mode in May. Tesla has repeatedly stated that its Autopilot functionality is still in development and is not intended to be used as a fully autonomous driving solution. The first cars were allowed back onto the crossing at 05:20 after engineers welded a splint onto damaged steelwork. Heavy goods vehicles will remain banned until further work is carried out, with this scheduled for completion by "mid-February". The bridge was closed to all traffic on 4 December after a crack was discovered in a truss under the carriageway. Five heavy lorries have been turned away from the bridge since it reopened. Bridge operating company Amey said vehicles weighing over seven and a half tonnes are prevented from using the bridge until permanent repairs to a cracked steel truss are made. Scottish Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown met the Freight Transport Association and the Road Haulage Association to discuss the problems being caused to operators by the ban on heavy lorries. Mr Brown said: "Today's discussions with the freight trade associations were very constructive and we have agreed a five point plan to keep HGVs moving as works continue on the Forth Road Bridge. "Both associations stressed the importance of the relaxation of drivers hours being extended to allow continued flexibility. I assured them that we are taking this forward with the UK Government and European Commission, based on evidence from the freight associations. Director of the Road Haulage Association in Scotland Martin Reid said: "The RHA welcomes the ongoing dialogue with the minister and Transport Scotland as it is imperative that the interests of road hauliers are recognised, particularly while the essential maintenance is being undertaken at the Forth Road Bridge. "It is absolutely essential for the Scottish economy that delivery routes are as free of congestion and hindrance as possible especially while hauliers are faced with additional costs due to the diversions in place." The FTA's Head of Policy for Scotland Chris MacRae said: "The Freight Transport Association is grateful to Transport Scotland and the Scottish government for recognising the importance of keeping freight traffic moving at the busiest time of year for the industry. "We will seek feedback from our members on how they are being affected by the extended closure of the bridge to goods vehicles in excess of 7.5 tonnes." In normal operation, the bridge handles 80,000 vehicles each day and closure had caused significant disruption. Bridge operator, Amey, said: "Traffic has been running very well all day since the bridge reopened. There have been no queues and no delays." The partial re-opening is ahead of schedule, with officials having previously estimated that the temporary repairs would not be completed until after the Christmas holidays. Police officers were stationed at both ends of the bridge on Wednesday to redirect any vehicle over 7.5 tonnes. A police spokesman said the continued ban on HGVs was being well adhered to. By midday five lorries had been turned away. HGVs account for 32% of the weight the bridge normally carries despite making up approx 9% of overall traffic. Scottish government transport minister Derek Mackay said the estimated reopening date for HGVs of mid-February "felt accurate" based on the work programme but it was weather dependent and assumed no further faults were found. He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "I am very certain that we'll meet that date of mid-February for the bridge to be open to HGVs. "Of course it's good news this morning that it's open to 90% of traffic and HGVs should follow early next year. Mid-February is as accurate a date I can give based on engineers' opinion at this time." Mr Mackay said the revised date for full reopening was based on data gathered from load testing. "We weren't satisfied with the results. That's why further strengthening works are required. It's partly a precautionary measure to give us absolute certainly that it's safe and effective to allow HGVs across from mid February." The study looked at how the visual, shadow flicker and noise impacts predicted by developers at the planning stage compared to reality. Climate change body ClimateXChange looked at 10 wind farms in Scotland. It concluded that in some cases what was set out in planning applications did not match the actual impact. The test sites included wind farms at Dalswinton in Dumfries and Galloway, Achany in the Highlands, Drone Hill in the Borders, Hadyard Hill in South Ayrshire, Little Raith in Fife and West Knock Farm in Aberdeenshire. It also found that efforts to engage with the public had not always adequately prepared residents for the visual, shadow flicker and noise impacts of a development. The information was gathered through a combination of residents' surveys and assessments by professional consultants. Project manager Ragne Low said: "As the study has focused on issues relating to the planning process, we are confident that the findings will feed into improved practice in measuring the predicted impacts of proposed wind farms and in communicating this to decision-makers and those likely to be affected. "The findings point to several possible improvements in planning guidance and good practice. "Some have been implemented in the time between the case study wind farms being planned and built, and the present. The study will contribute to building on these improvements." Linda Holt, spokeswoman for the campaign group Scotland Against Spin, welcomed the findings. She said: "For too long, people who have complained about wind farms have been dismissed as nimbies and we applaud the energy minister Fergus Ewing for commissioning this work. "The recommendations show that the planning system is ill-equipped to address potentially adverse impacts on wind farm neighbours and we urge the Scottish government to lose no time in implementing them. "For too long, decision-makers on wind farms have been asked to determine applications while blind-folded about the true impacts of placing enormous industrial machines near people's homes." A spokesman for Scottish Renewables said: "This study highlights the high standards of guidance available for those planning an onshore wind farm in Scotland, and we were pleased to see the sector has been putting these into practice. "The industry has long worked with government and its agencies to put these high standards in place and this report demonstrates how much we have continuously improved, while identifying areas for further improvements for future schemes." A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We welcome the publication of the wind farm impacts study report which is the first of its kind in the world and presents the findings of a two-year study involving a wide-range of interest groups. "The report shows improvements have already been made in our planning system, which is rigorous and ensures appropriate siting of wind farms, and studies like this will make sure this improvement continues, and we look forward to considering the recommendations carefully. "Our policy on wind farm applications strikes a careful balance between maximising Scotland's huge green energy potential and protecting environmental interests and residential amenity." Lily Partridge collapsed by the side of the pitch after being injured at North Tawton's ground in Devon on Sunday. Her life-support machine was switched off in hospital in Exeter on Monday night, her family confirmed. Her club said she had suffered "a couple" of concussions previously, but had taken out the recommended time from playing and had consulted a doctor. "She took a month off and was symptom free before she returned to playing," said Katie Lunnon, captain of the Topsham-based Exonian Ladies team. The RFU is investigating the circumstances of the injury, which happened during the women's development tournament. Ms Partridge, who was a part-time teacher and also worked at Shaldon Zoo, had played for Exonian Ladies for about 18 months. She was also the club's social secretary. Her parents Jeff and Liz, from Exeter, said: "No-one ever had a bad word to say about Lily. She was the glue that stuck everyone together. "She was stubborn and would say, 'I can do this and I can do that'. She was her own person and that is what we loved about her. "She broke down barriers. She was a brilliant star in our lives for 22 years." They added that her organs had been donated to help other people. "Hopefully one, two, three or more people will have a better quality of life thanks to Lily," they said. 25% of injuries during rugby matches are to the head 6 concussions in every 1,000 player hours of professional rugby, around 1 in every 3 games 1.2 concussions per 1,000 player hours in amateur rugby, around 1 in every 21 games 95 concussions per 1,000 hours in amateur horse racing, 13 in professional boxing and 0.4 in football. Reports of concussions in rugby have doubled in five years and both the English and Scottish rugby unions have said they are trying to increase awareness of concussion. RFU guidelines state that adult players should have at least 19 days off after suffering concussion and after being cleared by a doctor. Topsham Rugby Club called Ms Partridge a "talented, vivacious and universally-loved founding member of Exonian Ladies rugby team", adding that members were "utterly heartbroken". More than 150 people have sent tributes to Lily on the BBC Spotlight Facebook page. Source: NHS Choices Among them, Bud Rosewall wrote: "Very sad news from a tragic accident. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and the club at this very sad time. The Roseland RFC, Cornwall." Naomi Gruitt wrote: "An absolute beaut of a girl and amazing friend and player." In October 2014, a 23-year-old female rugby player died from brain injuries a month after she was injured in a tackle in a match. Sarah Chesters, a full-back with Longton RFC, walked off the pitch and declined medical treatment. But a month on she felt sick and dizzy and died in hospital a week later. Kinlochshiel went second in the table courtesy of a 1-0 victory away to Glasgow Mid Argyll, while Glenurquhart's 2-1 home win over Lovat sent them third. Shiel and Glenurquhart both leapfrogged Oban Camanachd, whose game at Kilmallie was postponed following the death of Oban's 1996 Camanachd Cup winning captain Neil "Nonny" MacInnes, who was 46 years old. In the MacTavish Cup, second tier side Fort William lost 2-0 to holders Newtonmore. Artemis MacAulay Cup holders Kyles also progressed after a 7-1 win over Bute in Rothesay. Kingussie scored their two goals in the first half, both coming from Martin Dallas. At Yoker, Oliver MacRae got the only goal of the game for Kinlochshiel after 42 minutes and Mid Argyll were unable to respond. Greg Matheson put Lovat ahead after 43 minutes, but James MacPherson's goal and a late Fraser Heath winner swung the game Glenurquhart's way. At An Aird, Newtonmore had been expected to overwhelm Fort William but after Iain Robinson's opener a quarter of an hour in, Glen Mackintosh's clincher did not come until midway through the second half. Newtonmore now progress to a home quarter final against another second tier side Caberfeidh. Grant Irvine and Roddy MacDonald both got hat tricks for Kyles against Bute. Sandy MacKenzie was Kyles' other scorer and Duncan Davidson got Bute's consolation early in the second half. Kyles will now welcome Aberdour or Glasgow Mid Argyll in the last eight. Leading Scotland scorer Kevin Bartlett, who has just returned to Caberfeidh from Lovat, grabbed two including a penalty as Cabers beat Oban Celtic 4-2 in Strathpeffer in the National Division. In the same league, Strathlass and Inverness drew 1-1 in Cannich. Speaking during a visit to a refugee camp in Jordan, Filippo Grandi said the crisis "cannot only concern the countries neighbouring Syria". Jordan is hosting 633,000 of the 4.39 million Syrians registered as refugees with the UN. Many Syrian refugees are also sheltering in Turkey and Lebanon. Hundreds of thousands of others have sought refuge in the European Union in recent years. "I think we need to be much more ambitious'' about resettling refugees, Mr Grandi, an Italian diplomat, said at the Zaatari refugee camp. "What is needed is a better sharing of responsibilities," he added. His comments came as the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said the number of Syrians stranded on the Jordanian border had risen sharply to about 17,000 people. Mr Grandi also said the UNHCR would organise a conference in Geneva in March to find host nations for Syrian refugees, after a fund-raising event in London planned for next month. The Syrian conflict erupted in 2011 with mass protests against President Bashar al-Assad. More than 230,000 people are estimated to have been killed since then. Sir Elton John said he was "a giant of a man and a brilliant songwriter", while Boy George called him a "poignant force of energy". Russell Crowe thanked the Hallelujah songwriter for "the perspective, the wry smiles and the truth". JK Rowling tweeted the singer's lyrics: "There is a crack in everything, That's how the light gets in." Actress Mia Farrow and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda were among others to quote the songwriter's lyrics on Twitter, while Carole King tweeted her respects with "RIP". Peter Gabriel said Cohen's "unique voice painted unforgettable pictures" and that "there is a big hole where he stood". "Anyone looking at an empty page trying to write a song lyric sits in the shadow of the mountain that was Leonard Cohen," he wrote. "Another magical voice stilled," wrote Bette Midler, while Justin Timberlake said Cohen had "a spirit and soul beyond compare". In a lengthy tribute, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Cohen had "managed to reach the highest of artistic achievement". "His ability to conjure the vast array of human emotion made him one of the most influential and enduring musicians ever." Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also paid tribute, describing him as "a great creator" and "a talented artist". An impromptu vigil has been held outside the singer's Montreal home, with fans lighting candles and leaving messages and flowers. Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler thanked Cohen "for so many years of music", while Canadian singer Alanis Morissette marked his passing with a crying face emoji. British singers Lily Allen and Paloma Faith also paid tribute, with the latter describing his death as "a tragic loss". "As if the week could get any worse," tweeted Allen, one of a number of celebrities to allude to this week's election results in America. US comedian Sarah Silverman said his death would make people "remember songs like Come Healing which is a good one for these days". Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon wrote: "Spent a good deal of my early teens, just me & #LeonardCohen alone together in my suburban bedroom. It was a gentle & fulfilling love affair." Alexandra Burke, whose cover version of Cohen's Hallelujah was the Christmas number one after she won The X Factor in 2008, said: "Leonard Cohen, a lyrical legend, a man who will continue to inspire. A voice that will always live on. Thank you for the memories." Nick Cave, who covered Cohen's Avalanche on his 1984 album From Her to Eternity, said he was "the greatest songwriter of them all - utterly unique and impossible to imitate, no matter how hard we tried". Neil Portnow, chief executive of the Recording Academy, which celebrates music through the Grammy Awards, described Cohen as "one of the most revered pop poets and a musical touchstone for many songwriters". "His extraordinary talent had a profound impact on countless singers and songwriters, as well as the wider culture," he added. "Unmatched in his creativity, insight and crippling candour, Leonard Cohen was a true visionary whose voice will be sorely missed," Cohen's manager Robert Kory told Rolling Stone. "He leaves behind a legacy of work that will bring insight, inspiration and healing for generations to come." BBC DJ Mark Radcliffe said Cohen had been "incredible to watch" when he performed at the Glastonbury Festival in 2008. "There were 70,000 people in front of that stage but he made it feel like a tiny club," he recalled. Like the late David Bowie, he went on, Cohen had "made great music right to the end with the enigma intact." Producer John Lissauer, who worked with Cohen on such albums as New Skin for the Old Ceremony and Various Positions, said he had been "an iconic figure." "He was so consistent in his devotion to the craft and his devotion to recording and performing," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Appearing on the same programme, former chancellor Lord Darling said seeing Cohen play a gig in London had proved uplifting as he coped with the financial crisis. "I went along prepared to be even more gloom-filled than I was feeling in the summer of 2008 and actually I came out of it very cheered up," he told the BBC earlier. "It's no surprise he inspired so many people." Singer Jennifer Hudson thanked Cohen for his "dedication to music", accompanying her Twitter post with footage of a performance of Hallelujah she gave in 2014. Yusuf, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, said Cohen's death had "once again exposed... the fragileness of life". Canadian author Margaret Atwood said his death had made her "very sad", sentiments echoed by Hobbit actor Luke Evans. Other actors to have paid their respects include Annette Bening, who described Cohen as "the most inspiring performer" and "a genius". Antonio Banderas called him "a great poet", while Kiefer Sutherland described his countryman as "a brilliant Canadian artist". Appearing on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show, music critic Neil McCormick described Cohen as "an Old Testament poet combined with a hard-boiled comedian". "I've never met someone who took much care with his phrasing and words," he said. "He could say the darkest things about the human condition, but lace it with a humour that made it palatable." Singer Frank Turner, appearing on the same programme, likened Cohen's songs to psalms - "perfect creations that felt like he had discovered them rather than wrote them." "He sets a standard for all songwriters everywhere," Turner continued. "He wrote words that will stand the test of time and give the rest of us something to aspire to."

The opening day, 1 July 1916, remains the bloodiest in the Army's history. A total of 19,240 British troops were killed within 24 hours, and almost a tenth of those who died that first day were from the 36th Ulster Division. Commemorations have been held in towns and cities in Northern Ireland and at Dublin's War Memorial Gardens. When the first guests arrived at the Ulster Tower, the atmosphere was convivial and almost festive. Many smiling faces had their photo taken in front of the tower, with poppy-spotted fields behind them. Some had arrived in military uniform, others wore rows of medals belonging to those they were here to remember. But as the commemoration drew near, there was no mistaking the reverence and solemnity of the occasion. In France, the village of Thiepval is close to where the 36th Ulster Division began their attack on German lines on 1 July 1916 and is now the site of the Ulster Memorial Tower, a 70ft (21m) monument that commemorates their sacrifice. Men from all over the island of Ireland fought at the Somme, and the British, Irish and French governments were represented during a ceremony at the tower on Friday. The Queen led the UK's national commemorations from London, having opened an overnight vigil on Thursday in Westminster Abbey. First Minister Arlene Foster travelled to France to lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland, an overnight vigil took place at the Somme Museum near Newtownards in County Down. It was followed on Friday morning by a number of military, civil and religious ceremonies in cities and towns, including Belfast, Lisburn, Londonderry, Enniskillen and Hillsborough. Just before 07:30 BST, the 206 (Ulster) Battery Royal Artillery fired one of their L118 light guns at Hillsborough Castle in County Down, the Queen's official residence in Northern Ireland. At about the same time, soldiers at Thiepval Barracks in Lisburn in County Antrim mustered at the Thiepval Memorial for an ecumenical commemoration service. The 36th Ulster Division was one of the few divisions of the Army to make significant gains on the first day of the battle, but it suffered terrible losses. Many people from Northern Ireland, including relatives of Somme veterans, have travelled to France for the commemoration events. Prime Minister David Cameron and several senior members of the Royal Family, including Price Charles, were joined by the French President Francois Hollande at the Thiepval Memorial. The government was represented by Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers. Irish President Michael D Higgins and the Irish Heritage Minister Heather Humphreys also travelled to France to pay tribute to the estimated 50,000 Irishmen who were killed while serving in the British, Commonwealth or US armies in World War One. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn also made the journey to Thiepval and paid tribute to Irishmen who died at the Battle of the Somme. He said the commemoration events were "deeply moving" and brought back "the horrors of war". At the UK's national ceremony in London, a 24-year-old soldier, originally from Newtownards, played a rendition of the Flowers of the Forest. L/Cpl Ritchie Spence, who is a member of the Irish Guards, joined the Army when he was 16 and was shot and wounded in the arm while serving in Afghanistan in 2010. Back in Belfast, the annual wreath laying ceremony took place at the Cenotaph at Belfast City Hall, remembering men from both the 36th (Ulster) Division and 16th (Irish) Division who lost their lives at the Somme. Londonderry marked the centenary with a parade, a drumhead service and the launch of a World War One memorial in the grounds of St Columb's Cathedral. In County Fermanagh, a commemoration service was held at 07:00 BST at Enniskillen Castle, where tributes were paid to all the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers killed on the first two days of the battle. On Friday evening, an ecumenical service of reflection will take place in St Macartin's Cathedral in Enniskillen, where a new memorial window will be dedicated in the regimental chapel to all the Inniskillings casualties of World War One. From the £45.2m investment for the 2015-19 cycle, areas "demonstrating membership growth and attaining performance targets" are rewarded. The record expenditure is up £3m from the 2011-15 period. The new phase covers the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018. Of the funding coming from the Scottish Government and the Lottery, Scotland's Minister for Sport Jamie Hepburn said: "This record investment in Scottish sport's governing bodies will benefit all participants - our clubs, volunteers, performance athletes, and coaches. "It will help us to continue to increase capacity in sport, building on the hugely successful and inspirational 2014 Commonwealth Games. "The positive impact of hosting the Commonwealth Games has been felt right across the sporting spectrum, boosted by other high-profile events like the Ryder Cup and the Davis Cup." Olympic and Paralympic sports are midway through their investment 2013-17 cycle, so the funds do not impact on preparations for Rio 2016. Judo, a huge success for Scotland at the 2014 Glasgow Games, has been dropped for the Gold Coast event, with basketball taking its place in Australia. However, judo will receive a 3.17% funding increase, while Basketball Scotland is currently mid-cycle, so there is no new money being announced. Aquatics once again leads the way with more than £5m, although the figure is marginally down by 0.62%. Spending on athletics is down by 2.08% to £3.76m, with cycling, hockey, rugby and gymnastics also receiving more than £3m. The boxing budget leaps up by almost 45% to just over £2.5m, with netball getting £2.07m (up 35%). Scotland's lawn bowlers won three gold medals and one silver at Glasgow 2014, with funding rising by almost 30% to £1.84m. Curling continues to receive healthy support, with £2.87m (up 1.66%), with snowsports getting a 41.34% boost to £1.85m. Maggie Murray, chief executive of Netball Scotland, said it would take time for the sport to be a "respected elite sport for women" and welcomed the cash boost. She said: "We are very pleased about their increased commitment and support to help realise our ambition to be the first choice sport for girls and women." The last spending cycle, she noted, was "one of the most productive and progressive phases in our history resulting in a 58% increase in membership over four years and an improvement in our World Ranking from 17th to 11th." Media playback is not supported on this device Wales host Italy on Saturday with home coach Warren Gatland saying the Azzurri deserve their place, but backing a one-up, one-down play-off in the long term. On current standings Italy would play Georgia for a place in 2017's event. "I think it is a stupid question because I think Italy do a lot for this tournament," said number eight Parisse. "Imagine teams like Ireland, Scotland or even France being last in the tournament and going to play other nations after being relegated," he said. "You think a federation like Ireland or France are going to accept that to take a risk? Or is it just because we are Italy?" Italy, badly affected by injuries, have lost all four of their games in the tournament so far this year. But Parisse, capped 118 times by his country, doubts whether the second-tier nations could perform as well as they have in recent years. "I think we need to remember what has happened in the past," he said. "We are really respectful of all the nations like Georgia and Romania and at their level they show a lot of progress but they haven't got the results we have. They haven't beaten France, they haven't beaten Ireland twice. "They haven't got the historic results we have so we deserve to be here, it's as simple as that." The tournament became the Six Nations in 2000 when Italy joined. They have beaten Wales, Scotland, France and Ireland, but never beaten England or finished better than fifth in the table. Wales finished bottom of the table in 2003. The NHS Information Services Division analysed the 526 drug deaths in that year, the latest for which full figures are available. They said 273 children lost a parental figure. Almost half of females who died a drug-related death had children under 16, compared with about a third of males. The fifth report from the National Drug Related Deaths Database (NDRDD) for Scotland looks in greater detail at the official figures for drug deaths which were released in August last year. The analysis is carried out to help develop interventions to reduce drug-related deaths, which have been slowly coming down. But the number is still about 50% higher than 10 years ago. The report said 76% of those who died were male and half lived in the most deprived areas of Scotland. The percentage of deaths among individuals aged 35 and over increased from 50% in 2009 to 66% in 2013, the figures showed. Almost two thirds (63%) of those analysed in the figures had a psychiatric condition recorded in the six months before they died. Heroin was the drug most frequently implicated in death but in almost all cases multiple drugs were present in the body at death. Methadone, heroin, morphine or buprenorphine were implicated in 76% of cases. A group of teenagers made the find behind a row of shops in the town of Humpty Doo on Sunday. The heads belonged to saltwater crocodiles, a protected species in Australia's Northern Territory. There is a lucrative trade in the area for crocodile skins, many of which go to make handbags and shoes. Anyone found guilty of killing protected wildlife can face a fine of up to A$76,500 (£36,000; $56,000) or five years in jail. "There was quite a bad smell and maggots around everywhere," Tommy Nichols, a senior wildlife ranger specialising in crocodile management, told ABC. "A lot of people keep some strange things in freezers." Saltwater crocodiles, the largest of the species, can grow up to 7m (23ft) in length and weigh up to a tonne. There are believed to be up to 200,000 saltwater crocodiles in the wild in Australia, where they were made a protected species in 1970. For the second time in a month Martin Slumbers, the chief executive of the R&A, has been forced to deflect questions generated by the Republican front runner's election campaigning. Trump's outspoken plans to ban Muslims from entering the US and building a wall on the Mexican border are at odds with golf's ethos of becoming a more inclusive sport. The American billionaire owns Turnberry, the Ayrshire course that last staged the Open in 2009. Inevitably Slumbers is being quizzed over whether Trump is a suitable host for the world's oldest major championship. Last month, Slumbers, who in 2015 took over as chief of the St Andrews-based governing body, told BBC Sport that Turnberry is not being considered as an Open venue until 2022 at the earliest. He, therefore, reasons there is no need for any definitive statement at this stage. Media playback is not supported on this device On Monday Slumbers held a media conference with the UK's golf correspondents and was peppered with more questions regarding Trump and Turnberry's future on the Open rota. Again he played the kind of straight bat that is currently so craved by the top order in English cricket. Slumbers would not be drawn on the subject. He is understandably more guarded than his predecessor Peter Dawson, who marked his departure from St Andrews last September by dismissing the notion that Turnberry's Open status could be affected. "To think that we are going to determine where an Open Championship is held because of something somebody said on the political trail in America is absurd," said the outgoing boss. "I don't think that's going to happen. We have other priorities, but that's for a future committee to judge." Dawson was right in the sense that it is for other people to decide, but it is becoming a difficult situation for his successor. At the moment Slumbers is playing for time because he knows to jump either way would be dangerous. If he took Dawson's line, the new chief executive would be open to criticism that golf's more politically correct outlook is a mere sham. Slumbers wants the game to be open to all yet would be giving a huge platform to a man prompting such outrage. Equally, if he said that the Open should have nothing to do with Trump, he would deprive the championship of one of its finest venues. How would Trump react to his resort being demoted from the top table of golfing venues? Would he continue to pour his millions into redeveloping Turnberry's famous hotel and golf course? It is fair to assume playing host to the Open was one of the attractions for Trump when he bought the place. And were he to pull out, what would that mean for the Ayrshire economy? Slumbers insists the current noise surrounding Trump is not problematic. "I wouldn't say it is making life difficult," he told BBC Sport. "I'm pretty clear about what I believe and I'm pretty clear about where we are going and we are pretty clear about where we are going to be until 2021. "So I think it is just part of the challenge of the responsibility we are trying to discharge." Slumbers confirmed that Turnberry does remain among the pool of courses considered suitable for staging the Open but he offered no guarantees over when the course might hold its next championship. The PGA Tour are wrestling with a similar dilemma regarding the WGC Cadillac Championship which will be staged at Trump's Doral Blue Monster course next week. They have indicated they will look for a new venue for the 2017 running of an event that traditionally attracts all the world's top players. "Mr Trump's comments are inconsistent with our strong commitment to an inclusive and welcoming environment in the game of golf," the Tour said in a recent statement to Golf.com. "Immediately after the completion of the 2016 tournament, we will explore all options regarding the event's future." PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem can expect a similar grilling to the ones endured by Slumbers if he talks to reporters at the south Florida venue next week. There are no easy answers, especially when you consider Trump's current prominent position in the US polls. And regardless of whether he goes on to become the next President of the United States, he will remain the owner of several very significant golfing venues. Assuming his controversial views remain similarly intact, golf will have some difficult choices to make. Right now the game's bosses are understandably stalling but there will come a time when that will not be enough. Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 0.28% at 20,529.94 points in early trade. Earlier this week, the index ended its longest winning streak since 1988. In Australia, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.59% at 5,550.80 points despite the positive lead from US stocks. Investor sentiment in the country was hit earlier this week after the Reserve Bank of Australia gave no clear indication that it would cut its benchmark lending rate again soon. Better-than-expected economic growth numbers released by the government on Wednesday further dampened investors' hopes of a rate cute in the near future. In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index was flat, up just 0.03% at 2,063.75 points in early trade despite some positive economic growth data. Latest figures from the country's central bank showed growth in Asia's fourth largest economy had marginally beaten estimates to expand 2.5% during the first three months of 2015 compared with a year earlier, boosted by construction and construction investment. The Bank of Korea had estimated annual growth of 2.4% for the period. Quarter-on-quarter growth came in at 0.8%, in line with expectations. Manufacturing and private consumption also contributed to the nation's economic expansion. Analysts had predicted that the country's growth would remain soft in the first quarter of 2015 before picking up pace later in the year. The Shanghai Composite index closed flat on Wednesday after two previous sessions of strong gains. A raft of initial share offerings this week was widely expected to draw liquidity from the mainland's markets. According to local reports, the share offerings are expected to lock up 8.3tn yuan ($1.34tn; £873bn) of cash. Meanwhile, the largest shareholder in technology giant Lenovo is expected to gain approval for an initial public offering in Hong Kong today. The Chinese conglomerate, Legend Holdings, aims to raise as much as $2bn from investors. The 20-year-old, from County Down, dominated the race and is now leading the World Cup ranking in the event. He has secured back-to-back gold medals after winning the points race in the second World Cup round in Apeldoorn. "This one means a lot more to me than Apeldoorn because of the fashion in which I won," said Downey. "It was my first time racing at altitude so I needed to be careful. "My pre-race tactic was to chill for 30 to 40 laps and then to come to the front and turn the gas on. I made three key moves in the race." Ireland's Lydia Boylan was sixth in the Women's Omnium, having made a blistering start by winning the first event, the scratch race. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Milan scored three first-half goals through Jeremy Menez (2) and Alessio Romagnoli. Alessandria brought more than 15,000 fans to the San Siro, but an own goal by Roberto Sabato and Balotelli's late strike ensured there would be no shock. Milan will play Juventus or Inter Milan in the final. The fire broke out on the third floor of the old workhouse - an unoccupied building - on the Castlebalfour Road on Friday evening. Six fire engines were called to tackle the blaze. But firefighters had to withdraw because the building was at risk of collapse. Ian Brown, 59, of Morpeth, Northumberland, saved Rick Haines' life when his donated marrow was flown to the United States in 1991. Now Mr Brown has made the trip to attend the wedding of Marissa Haines. He himself tied the knot last week to second wife Lorraine Scott and is making the trip part of his honeymoon. Mr Brown, who was widowed in 2011, said: "Basically, before his transplant Rick was terminally ill and only had a few weeks to live and his biggest regret was that he would never walk his little girl - who was three or four at the time - down the aisle. "He asked me many years ago how he could ever repay me for donating the bone marrow that saved his life and my answer was to let me see that very thing happen." Mr Brown joined the Anthony Nolan register in the 1980s when his nine-month-old son Michael, now 34, was being treated for testicular cancer. In 1991, he received a call to say he was a match for a patient in the USA. He travelled to a clinic in London and his marrow was immediately flown to the USA on Concorde. The transplant took place that evening. Engineer Mr Haines, aged 44 at the time, was suffering from aplastic anaemia when he had the transplant. Mr Haines, from Delaware, later contacted Mr Brown to thank him and the pair first met in 1996. They have since had family holidays together. Mr Brown said: "We were in contact pretty much immediately and wrote letters, although everything was anonymous and censored - it was a bit like being in a prison camp. We were then asked if we wanted to be properly in contact after six months and we did. "Five years later in Florida we finally met up, which was a tremendous experience." Mr Haines' daughter Marissa is due to marry her fiance Dustin later on Saturday in Pennsylvania. The EFL says 20% of all fans attending matches in the Football League are now aged under 16. The increase has been credited to clubs improving the matchday experience for families. The BBC's Price of Football study found more than two thirds of ticket prices across the UK have been either cut or frozen for the 2016-17 season. Championship side Cardiff City's family season membership has increased from 459 to 7,000 over a four-year period after making changes, including a turnstile system that recognised children's birthdays on entry. Colchester, who were relegated from League One last season, reported an 11% increase in overall attendances, helped by an introduction of live music, concourse activities and an online matchday timetable for families.

It has now published its report on public feedback on the plans. It said a further round of consultation would be required later this year but said changes in the industry could affect the "scope of the project". More than 1,600 pieces of feedback were provided during the first round of consultation - the majority from Dumfries and Galloway where most of the proposed power line route would run. A number of points about the scheme were raised, including: The company said that since the consultation was launched, there had been a "number of significant developments in the wider energy sector" which could affect the project. However, it said it remained the case that investment was required to replace "ageing infrastructure in the Dumfries and Galloway region". There will now be "further analysis" to determine the extent to which changes to "subsidy arrangements for onshore wind farms and the future mix of power generation in Scotland" would alter their plans. SP Energy Networks transmission director Pearse Murray said: "In our initial documentation published last year, we indicated our intention to undertake a second round of consultation in 2016 on the preferred routes and substation sites. "Given the further analysis work we are doing with National Grid, we believe it is necessary to take more time to consider the issues in order to ensure that the most appropriate proposal is taken forward to the next stage of the process. "Once we have the results of the studies that are under way, we will be in a position to set out any implications on the scope of the project and our plans for the next round of consultation. "We expect that this will be in the summer of this year." Alan Jones, of campaign group Dumgal Against Pylons, said it welcomed the recognition that "external factors" had changed since the consultation was launched. "While we have always recognised the need to replace the existing system because of its age, and add some future-proofing, this 'pause for thought' aligns with our thinking," he said. "It will give Scottish Power the time they need to take into consideration not only the extensive feedback but also to reflect on how best to meet the changing external environmental circumstances." He added that a stakeholder liaison group for the project should now be expanded and also called for independent research on the potential impact of the scheme. Andrew Roddison, 41, of Flatts Lane in Treeton, was accused of sexually assaulting a female councillor following a parade in Rotherham in May. The Labour councillor for the Brinsworth and Catcliffe ward denied the charges, but he was found guilty at Leeds Magistrates' Court. At the court hearing, he was given an indefinite restraining order. He was also sentenced to a six-month curfew order, told to pay £500 in legal costs and given an £85 victim surcharge, the Crown Prosecution Service said. In a statement, his solicitor Steve Smith said: "Having considered the financial options open to Mr Roddison it has been decided with great reluctance not to appeal. "His income has been taken from him, and consequently he is resigning his position as a councillor." Roddison, who was elected as a councillor in May 2011, had "given very good service to the council hitherto", Mr Smith added. No official letter of resignation had been received from Roddison, said Rotherham Council. A statement from the council said: "The leader of the council has already written to Councillor Roddison, making it clear that his behaviour has been unacceptable and urging him to stand down from his seat with immediate effect in the best interest of the community and the council." The US company uses the UK firm's chip technology in its iPhones, iPads, and iPods under a licensing agreement. Apple's royalty payments account for about half Imagination's revenues. Shares fell 165p to 103p, valuing the company at about £250m - down from about £765m before the announcement was made on Monday morning. Imagination said Apple, its largest customer, would stop using its products in "15 months to two years". Apple is developing its own technology, but Imagination said this would be difficult without infringing patents. Apple has told Imagination that it is "working on a separate, independent graphics design in order to control its products and will be reducing its future reliance on Imagination's technology". Imagination, like the UK's ARM Holdings, is at the forefront of computer chip technology globally. ARM was sold last year to Japan's Softbank, a deal criticised as selling out of the UK's winners. The Financial Times reported last year that Apple, which owns 8% of the UK company, had held talks about buying Imagination. In its statement, Imagination questioned whether Apple would be able to develop its own computer chip designs without breaching its intellectual property rights. The UK company said: "Apple has not presented any evidence to substantiate its assertion that it will no longer require Imagination's technology, without violating Imagination's patents, intellectual property and confidential information. This evidence has been requested by Imagination but Apple has declined to provide it. "Further, Imagination believes that it would be extremely challenging to design a brand new GPU architecture from basics without infringing its intellectual property rights, accordingly Imagination does not accept Apple's assertions." Imagination said in its latest annual report that it has other licensing deals with customers, but described the Apple contract as "essential". Last year, Apple paid about £60.7m in royalties to Imagination and it is forecast to pay about £65m for the current financial year. Apple's decision to go it alone with the graphics chip technology inside its devices could help the tech giant cut costs and better set the pace of innovation. But doing so risks a legal clash with its former ally, Imagination. Doesn't Apple already make its own chips? Apple does indeed design the A10 chip in the iPhone 7, and has developed A-series chips dating back to the original iPad. But these "system-on-chips" are made up of different components, one of which is a graphics processing unit (GPU). Until now, these GPUs parts have always been customised versions of Imagination's PowerVR designs. Apple tweaks Imagination's designs to maximise the battery life and performance of its devices. Why may Apple have an issue with using Imagination's tech? While Apple has made impressive year-on-year gains with the A-series chips' central processing unit (CPU), improvements to the GPU have been more mixed. Most recently, Apple has said the GPU in the A10 is twice as fast as the previous generation, but tests show it can only maintain this peak performance for a relatively short amount of time before risking overheating. That means it has to be throttled back. As a result, testers have given a higher rating to rival GPU tech made by Qualcomm. What's the difference between a CPU and a GPU? In basic terms, a CPU calculates a single sets of instructions more quickly (or two sets of instructions simultaneously if a dual-core chip is involved), while GPUs specialise in carrying out many calculations at the same time. This makes GPUs better suited for "parallelisable" tasks - jobs that can be broken down into several parts and run simultaneously because the outcome of any one calculation does not determine the input of another. As the name suggests, powering graphics is one example, but others include speech recognition and pattern matching. Shouldn't Imagination have expected Apple to go it alone? Although Apple already designs its CPUs, it bases them on designs from another UK chip architecture specialist, ARM, to whom it pays licence fees. Imagination has said it doubts Apple can design mobile GPUs in-house without violating its PowerVR patents and other intellectual property. Apple is not just Imagination's biggest customer, it also owns a stake in the business and had been in discussions to take it over completely at one point. Apple has, however, hired several former Imagination workers including the former chief operating officer and hardware engineering boss. According to AppleInsider, at least 25 engineers and managers have quit Imagination and gone on to work at Apple over the past two years. So even if the current relationship between the two firms is set to end, Apple may still face having to pay Imagination for some time to come to avoid a legal battle. MEPs will vote on Wednesday on whether to give final approval to new powers for Europol, the EU police agency, and new residence rights for non-EU students. But aside from the usual votes on topical motions and minor legislation, the main interest will lie in debates undertaking a tour d'horizon of a number of EU policies. The Commission's latest proposals to revise EU asylum law will be debated on Wednesday afternoon, along with the long-term future of the Schengen area. With another emergency get-together of eurozone finance ministers taking place on Monday, MEPs will also take the chance on Tuesday to review the latest impasse over releasing funds from Greece's bailout deal. Here's what's coming up this week... After a speech from Parliament President Martin Schulz to mark Europe day, MEPs will kick off the sitting by debating the EU's "cohesion policy". Cohesion spending, which accounts for around a third of the EU's budget, covers various investment schemes designed to reduce economic differences between different regions in the EU. Via two motions and an oral question, MEPs will prod the Commission into encouraging greater flows of funds towards smaller business and cut-off mountainous regions whose economies depend heavily on farming and tourism. After that, there will be an update from the Commission on controversial plans to double the capacity of the Nord Stream gas pipeline running from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea. The consortium behind the project includes a number of European energy companies - including Eon, BASF and Shell - as well as state-owned Russian energy giant Gazprom. Last December MEPs passed a motion expressing concern that the extension could undermine the EU's attempts to reduce the dependency of the bloc on Russian energy imports. The Commission is examining whether the project could fall foul of the same EU competition laws that scuppered the South Stream pipeline project in 2014. Following this, they will debate a motion calling for a clearer system for labelling the origin of fish. It comes after an environmental group published a report based on DNA sampling which showed that around a third of fish sold in Brussels restaurants was mislabelled. The group's survey was based on samples from 150 restaurants in the Belgian capital, including the restaurants of the European Commission and European Parliament. In the evening, they will discuss whether to ratify the renewal of a wide-ranging fisheries agreement between the EU and Mauritania, and the EU's first-ever fishing deal with Liberia. The sitting will begin with a debate on whether the EU should grant market economy status (MES) to China. China was not granted MES when it joined the World Trading Organisation (WTO) in 2001, but argues that the terms of its membership mean it should automatically get it at the end of this year. Others disagree - and are eagerly awaiting the results of the EU Commission's public consultation on the matter, expected sometime next month. Changing China's status could change the way the EU calculates anti-dumping tariffs on "dumped" Chinese exports, and is likely to face huge opposition from European industrial unions. MEPs - who would eventually have to approve any change - will set out their current position in a motion vote on Thursday. After the lunchtime voting, the afternoon sitting will begin with a debate on the state of negotiations over releasing funds to Greece from its EU-IMF bailout, following the latest meeting of Eurozone ministers on Monday. The scale of government cuts to release the next batch of loans has been the subject of months of fraught negotiation. After debating the EU's contribution to this month's World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, MEPs will also take stock of EU trade talks with the Mercosur bloc of Latin American countries. Having been stalled for years, the chances of reaching a deal improved last month when the two sides agreed to renew their negotiation efforts, with "market offers" to be exchanged this month. In the evening, MEPs will also debate the continuing economic and political crisis in Venezuela. It comes after last week the opposition presented the country's electoral authorities with a petition calling for a referendum to oust President Nicolas Maduro. Many Venezuelans are furious because of a deep recession, food shortages and a power crisis that has cut supply to four hours a day in most cities. The sitting will begin with a debate on proposed new powers for Europol, the EU's Hague-based police agency. Under legislation proposed in 2013, the agency is set to get additional powers to set up specialised units to combat certain types of crime and terrorism. However, there will also be new rules governing its use of personal data, and greater oversight of its work from the European Parliament and national MPs. MEPs reached a deal on the new rules with national ministers last November, which they will put to a final vote at lunchtime. The morning session will also see a debate on new entry and residence rules for non-EU students on the European Voluntary Service. The plans would introduce an EU-wide right for students to stay at least nine months after finishing their studies, and work at least 15 hours a week whilst completing their degrees. The UK, Ireland and Denmark have all used their treaty rights to opt out of the legislation - which will also face a final vote at lunchtime. The afternoon will begin with the debate on the EU's proposed new asylum rules. The Commission's latest scheme would see the essentials of the Dublin regulation kept in place, with refugees still normally required to claim asylum in the EU member state in which they arrive. However an automatic relocation scheme - backed by big fines for states that refused to comply - would kick in if a country receives more than 150% of its annual "share" of asylum seekers, based on population and economy. The plans would require support from most member states as well as MEPs - the UK and Ireland can opt out of asylum policies, whilst Denmark is also exempt. MEPs will stay on a similar theme after that, with a set-piece debate scheduled on the future of the passport-free Schengen zone. After this they will discuss EU tax transparency rules announced at the start of this year which would force national tax authorities to share information about their tax rulings for multinationals. MEPs are obliged to give their view on the measures before they can be adopted - although they do not have the power to block or amend them. In the evening they will ask the Commission for an update on investigations into the involvement EU states had in facilitating alleged human rights abuses by the CIA. The allegations relate to interrogation techniques used by US security services between 2001 and 2006 at "secret prisons" situated in a number of EU states. They will also discuss whether the EU should introduce new labelling rules requiring the country of origin to be marked on dairy produce and on processed meat such as sausages and ready meals. Mandatory country-of-origin labelling rules already exist for fresh beef, pork, chicken, lamb, fruit and vegetables, fish, olive oil and honey. A majority of MEPs support extending this to cover processed meat and milk - but the EU Commission says this should remain voluntary so as not to increase costs for consumers. The shorter final day of the session will open with a debate on the enforcement of parental leave rights within the EU. At lunchtime MEPs will vote on a draft motion which expresses concern at the "disparities" in how different member states have implemented previous EU laws. After this they will discuss a motion calling on EU member states to do more to protect potential victims of human traffickers. The draft text, drawn up by Liberal Democrat MEP Catherine Bearder on behalf of the Women's Rights Committee, says EU anti-trafficking law is not being properly implemented. Attention will then turn to this month's motions on topical human rights cases - with the Crimean Tartars, Djibouti and the Gambia all in the spotlight. The voting session will come after this, when MEPs will put all of their rights motions to a vote, as well as the motion on whether the EU should grant market economy status to China. Please note: This agenda is subject to modification at the opening of the session on Monday afternoon. A guide to how the European Parliament's plenary sessions can be found here. With a 220-run lead and seven second-innings wickets still in hand, they are firmly in the box seat, and if they can get through the first hour tomorrow with no mistakes, they can aim to declare just before tea on day four and give themselves a great chance of bowling the West Indies out for victory. The star performer of the day for England was off-spinner James Tredwell. Tredwell isn't a flashy sort of bowler, and last year he couldn't even get in Kent's four-day team, but he bowled beautifully here to claim four wickets. It was a first-class display of old-fashioned off-spin bowling: he tossed the ball up and varied his pace subtly. His dismissal of the dogged Shivnarine Chanderpaul was a particularly fine piece of classical spin-bowling: setting the batsman up against a cleverly-set field. He's given the England selectors a real headache ahead of the second Test in Grenada next week. Moeen Ali, England's first-choice Test spinner last summer, has been added to the squad, but it won't be a question of Tredwell just stepping aside - he's put himself right in contention for selection. The seamers also bowled well, in particular Stuart Broad. He got himself revved up and bowled with genuine pace and hostility, which is exactly the right way to get back in rhythm when you've been struggling. However, there are still question marks hanging over the batting. At the moment there is a serious problem brewing at the top of the order. Captain Alastair Cook has now gone 33 innings without a Test century and the pressure will continue to grow on him after another cheap dismissal, caught at gully for 13. I actually thought he was shaping up pretty well today - his footwork looked good, his bat was straight, but the shot he got out to was poor. His partner Jonathan Trott, playing in his first Test series since leaving the 2013/14 Ashes tour with stress-related problems, is also under big pressure after two failures in this match. Trott has been a magnificent servant for England, but at the moment he has a significant technical flaw, in that he's trying to play towards mid-on, which is a recipe for disaster against the swinging ball. The selectors have a big call to make on Trott. Do they really see him opening the batting against Australia in Cardiff this summer? If not, they need to seriously consider the claims of Yorkshire's Adam Lyth for the next Test match. One big positive from England's batting today was the return to form of Gary Ballance after a lean patch. He showed again what a calm young player he is, and if he can get his head down tomorrow, he has every chance of scoring his fourth Test century. Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's James Gheerbrant. William Dick, 25 was convicted at Dumfries Sheriff Court last month of killing a buzzard in April 2014. Witnesses said they saw Dick, of Kirkmahoe, Dumfries, throw rocks at the bird and repeatedly stamp on it. A spokesman for the Crown Office said one witness described the incident as "sickeningly violent". What's happening in Scotland today? Keep in touch through our live page. Two walkers watched Dick attack the bird, after they came across him on the Newlands Estate, Kirkmahoe, according to the Crown Office. They saw him place a bundle wrapped in his jacket into a dark grey 4x4 pick-up truck before driving away. The witnesses contacted the Scottish SPCA, who got in touch with Police Scotland. Investigators found a dead hare, feathers and a rock with blood on it at the scene of the killing. The feathers were tested by Scottish government scientists who found DNA which confirmed they came from a buzzard. Dick was convicted despite claiming he was on his way home from a training course, more than 100 miles away, at the time of the offence. A solicitor for Dick said his client would not be able to work as a gamekeeper for a considerable period. It is understood an appeal against conviction is being lodged. Helen Nisbet, of the serious and organised crime division of the prosecution service, said: "Birds of prey are given strict protection by our law. "It is highly important to preserve Scotland's natural heritage, including the wildlife that forms part of it. "We take people breaking our wildlife laws very seriously. This conviction highlights that message." She added: "The Crown will continue to prosecute such cases where appropriate to ensure that offenders are brought to justice." Scottish Gamekeepers Association Chairman Alex Hogg said it had a "clear and consistent policy" and did not condone wildlife crime. "It is our understanding that an appeal has been lodged in this particular case so it would not be appropriate for us to comment until such times as the legal process has concluded." A spokesman for Scottish Land & Estates said it had a clear and long-established policy of condemning all forms of wildlife crime. He added: "Those who engage in such activity should feel the full force of the law. Newlands Estate is a member of Scottish Land & Estates but that membership has been suspended voluntarily pending further inquiries and ongoing legal proceedings." The opening words of the declaration at the end of this two-day meeting hardly set the pulse racing. "Guided by our shared values and principles, we are determined to work closely together to meet the complex international economic and political challenges of our times. We are committed to the values of freedom and democracy, and their universality, to the rule of law and respect for human rights, and to fostering peace and security. Especially in view of the numerous crises in the world, we as G7 nations stand united in our commitment to uphold freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity." The language offers little competition to Shakespeare, Goethe, Voltaire or Abraham Lincoln, but then the heads of some of the world's richest democracies are careful not to aim too high. Each year, when they assemble at some remote luxury resort hotel - and Schloss Elmau is really that, not a great historic Bavarian castle at all - they can always be confident they'll face charges of generating little more than hot air. So loyal diplomats from almost any of the seven member countries (the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) are cautious too if you ask them to justify these vastly expensive gatherings. In whichever language you're talking, they tend to stress some variant of the British Foreign Office mantra. It's about achieving "movement in the right direction". So, what was the movement this time in the Bavarian Alps? When the leaders talk about meeting the complex challenges of our times, they don't come more complex than these. The eye-catching proposal here from the leaders of the highly industrialised countries, which have historically been most responsible for pollution and global reliance on fossil fuels, is that there should be a "decarbonisation of the global economy over the course of this century". In other words, we must wean ourselves off oil, gas and coal over the next 85 years, and rely instead on clean energy, renewable sources of energy and nuclear power. Critics say these are mere words, as empty as many uttered in the past, and definitely qualifying for the 2015 Hot Air award. Oxfam was a little more generous, crediting the G7 with "a stuttering start on climate change" with new and significant steps, but the organisation also says the G7 is still not pulling its weight and must put words into action by phasing out coal, the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. Supporters of the G7 outcome say that it's really important to encourage investors to recognise the coming reality and put their money into clean, not "dirty" fuels. The G7 leaders hope their collective ambition to limit global warming will encourage others at the next big UN conference on climate change in Paris at the end of this year to aim high and do far better than merely agreeing on lowest common denominator goals. When the leaders talked in their declaration about "our commitment to uphold freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity", at whom, in particular, were they aiming those words? No prizes for guessing the target was Russia's President Vladimir Putin. This is the second time they have had an annual summit as the G7, not G8, after suspending Russia for "the illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula". Now the G7 preoccupation is with events in Eastern Ukraine. "We expect Russia to stop trans-border support of separatist forces." It's clear to me that the G7 relationship with Vladimir Putin is heading in only one direction: from estrangement towards divorce. President Obama was deliberately lurid at his end-of-G7 news conference: "He's got to make a decision. Does he continue to wreck his country's economy and continue Russia's isolation in pursuit of a wrong-headed desire to recreate the glories of the Soviet empire, or does he recognise that Russia's greatness does not depend on violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries?" Despite Moscow's rejection of all that and its insistence the Russian economy can be strengthened by the self-reliance which comes from having to make products yourself that you can no longer import because of sanctions, the wider story is of steady divergence between President Putin's Russia and the West. The G7, which regards itself as "a community of values", will continue to urge the maintenance of sanctions and the threat of more if Mr Putin moves even further in what they regard as "the wrong direction".

Fraser Carrington, 32, from the Fife area, was night fishing at Tangleha, north of St Cyrus, when he disappeared from rocks in the early hours of Sunday in what were described as "exceedingly rough" conditions. Another angler raised the alarm at about 03:00. Search teams scoured the water and shoreline, but no trace was found. A rescue helicopter, coastguard teams and the Montrose lifeboat were involved in the operation. For the first time since monitoring for corn bunting calls began, the birds have not been heard on Barra or Vatersay. One territorial male has been spotted on Benbecula. The RSPB said parts of the Uists were now the last strongholds of the buntings in the Western Isles. Corn buntings, which are also known as the fat bird of the barley, are an RSPB red list species having suffered "dramatic population decline" across the UK. RSPB manager Jamie Boyle said: "For the first time ever, spring-time in the machair of Barra and Vatersay has been marked without the distinctive rattling song of the corn bunting. "Since time immemorial this wee brown bird has been a familiar sight and sound to crofters going about their business. "We are gravely concerned that this may not be the case in the future." The RSPB is planning to take emergency action to conserve bunting hot spots on the islands. Modern agriculture has been blamed for depriving the birds of winter food. Falling numbers of corn buntings have been observed for a number of years. Variations in the songs of different groups of buntings in the Western Isles have helped scientists to chart the decline in numbers. By studying the pattern of male birds' songs, researchers can identify different groups of buntings. In the past males could find enough mates within their own groups. But Aberystwyth University scientists reported last year that the dialect groups were beginning to mix together suggesting males were flying further to find mates. In August last year, RSPB Scotland said only 800 breeding pairs of corn bunting were believed to remain in Scotland. The charity said an Aberdeenshire population had declined from 134 pairs to only 12 over a 20-year period. Sporting want £34.1m (40m euros) for the 28-year-old, which the Foxes consider unrealistic. Slimani, who is keen on a Premier League move, has been at Sporting since 2013 and has scored 31 goals in 46 games for the club. The striker made four appearances for Algeria at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, scoring twice. The bus caught fire on Farnborough Road in the Clifton estate in Nottingham on at 17:36 BST on Friday. Witnesses described seeing huge flames and hearing a "massive bang". Nottingham City Transport (NCT) said it was "really proud" of the driver, adding that the cause of the blaze is unknown. Witnesses reported the bus exploding, but NCT said the bang was caused by a tyre exploding. Charlotte Betts, who lives next to where the bus caught fire, said: "The bus driver got all his passengers off... he potentially saved all them lives." She described hearing a "massive bang". "We ran up the road, just really scared really, to get out the way," she said. "To be honest I was petrified because all I could think of was if it explodes, I've got my baby, and he's only six months...it was really, really scary." Jamie Tarbert, a security guard from a nearby supermarket, said the passengers had a "lucky escape". "If anybody had been caught on it or stuck on the bus it would have been very serious," he said. "Everyone was running around going pretty mad and then it literally set on fire and blew up right on front of everyone. "Apparently the bus driver got all of them off in time luckily enough." An NCT spokeswoman said bus fires were "incredibly rare" and the cause would be independently investigated. "The driver acted quickly and got everybody off as soon as he realised there was any danger," she said. "We are really proud of what he did. His primary concern is to make sure his passengers are safe, which is what he did." The airport's comments came as it unveiled its draft masterplan, which lays out development plans until 2040. Airport owners BAA had expected to reach 13 million passengers per year by 2013, but does not now expect to reach that number before 2020. However, BAA said new aircraft hangars and stands would soon be required. In the shorter term, the masterplan forecasts passenger numbers will grow from nine million to 12.3 million per year until 2020, with aircraft movements increasing from 116,200 to 141,300. New aircraft hangars and stands will be built to meet that demand, while transport facilities at the airport and to the site will be improved. The airport said the projected developments would be largely within existing boundaries. BAA has just completed a £40m expansion and upgrade of the airport, which is sufficient for up to 13 million passengers per year. The masterplan estimates passenger numbers could increase to 20.5 million per year by 2040, with more than half travelling to and from international destinations. According to projections, aircraft movements could also increase to 200,600 per year. Kevin Brown, managing director of Edinburgh Airport, said the airport would be consulting as widely as possible on its masterplan over the next few months. He added: "Ours is a sustainable and responsible plan, grounded in the reality of our post-recession economy and keen to capitalise on the opportunities that will arise when our economy begins to grow again. "It is important for us therefore to test our plans and provide clarity, certainty and understanding to local communities, local authorities and wider business and tourism interests whose futures depend very much on a strong, successful and well-connected airport." A 14-week public consultation exercise on the draft plans has been launched, after which a final masterplan will be drawn up. But the chairman, European Council President Donald Tusk, will keep the two discussions separate - despite concern that some jihadists are slipping into the EU posing as migrants and exploiting the freedom of movement provided by the Schengen zone. At least two of the killers involved in the Paris attacks got in among the crowds of migrants arriving daily on the Greek islands near Turkey. But EU leaders are anxious to avoid sounding like the nationalists who argue that the removal of border controls in the EU left Europeans more at risk from terrorists. That is the rallying cry of the French National Front (FN) and some other populist parties. Migration and terrorism are also treated as separate issues because - as pointed out by EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker - many asylum-seekers are themselves fleeing from the terror inflicted by Islamic State (IS), the Taliban and other extremist groups. The dilemma for the EU is that Schengen - the passport-free area embracing 26 countries - greatly eases the flow of people and goods across the EU, but also requires more information-sharing, to prevent cross-border criminality. About 1.7 million EU citizens cross borders daily in the Schengen zone to go to work, the Bruegel think-tank reports. And opinion polls indicate that many Europeans value Schengen more than any other change brought about by the EU. But temporary border controls have been reimposed - by France, Germany, Austria and Hungary. So the stakes are high at this summit. "Our goal is clear: we must regain control over our external borders to stem migratory flows and to preserve Schengen," said Mr Tusk in his summit invitation letter. Mr Juncker said Europeans now have "one border" and "a shared responsibility to protect it". "We want to defend everything Schengen represents, and let me tell you that Schengen is here to stay," he told the European Parliament. Saving Schengen means beefing up the surveillance of all people entering or leaving the Schengen area. So in future EU citizens, as well as those from outside the bloc, will have their passports checked against police databases. There is much work to do, however, to link up and improve those databases. More than a million refugees and other migrants have surged into the EU this year, most of them desperate to reach Germany or other northern countries where job prospects are better, or where relatives can help them settle. The Syrian war has pushed irregular migration to the EU to a record high. There are fears that the international campaign to smash IS, and the Russian bombing in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, will drive even more Syrians to flee abroad. So the 28 leaders in Brussels will look again at the EU's help for Greece and Turkey. The migrant registration process is still slow and patchy. Turkey, struggling with more than two million Syrian refugees, now has much bargaining power. Critics say the EU risks compromising its human rights standards as it leans on Turkey to curb the migrant flow. Greek coastguards and the EU's Frontex border agency only manage to intercept 20% of the migrants who reach Greek islands after life-threatening voyages, according to Frontex. This week the Commission unveiled an ambitious plan for a new EU Border and Coast Guard to tackle problems on the EU's external borders. The force - stronger than Frontex - would have 1,000 permanent staff and 1,500 reserves, who could be deployed rapidly to a trouble spot, within three days. That could happen even without the host country requesting it - if the rest of the EU decides to take action. Such force majeure might be the exception - but Poland has already raised objections on sovereignty grounds. Once again, the migrant crisis is threatening to divide, more than unite, Europe. The border village is now a sea of tents where conditions are squalid. Before the Macedonian authorities controversially shut the border, having built a 40km fence to keep them out, more than 1 million migrants had passed through Idomeni - a farming community normally home to just 150. One of its residents is Panayiota Vasileiadou, a Greek grandmother with a heart of gold. "Mama is very kind to us," says 22-year-old Haja who fled the battered Syrian city of Aleppo in February and now stays in Panayiota's home. "I met her after picking some herbs in the field. I came to borrow a cooking pot." When she took the pot back, Haja turned up with nine friends who were all soaking wet. "I was afraid at first. But one of them was holding a six-month old baby so I invited them in," 82-year-old Panayiota says. "They had swollen feet and their lips were black because of the cold. They stood in front of the stove, shivering." Others knocked on the door asking to take a shower and then the widow invited five Syrians to move into her modest home. Since then she has been supporting them - not easy on a monthly pension that was slashed from €700 €450 because of Greece's economic turmoil. "Every morning when she wakes up, she comes and kisses us," says Haja. For 20-year-old Majid, "Mama is an angel". He fled Syria when his home in the northeast of the country was bombed, he said. "She is like our mother. We love her so much. She treats us like her children," he says, refusing to talk about the life he left behind because "tears will fall when I think of the family and friends who have died". As he heads off to buy some food, Majid kisses Panayiota on top of her head. Some neighbours have disapproved of her generosity, fearing an influx of people with extremist views. But Panayiota knows the horrors her guests have been going through. "Today they are refugees but we were also refugees in the past," she says. In 1941 during the Nazi occupation of Greece, Bulgarian troops allied to the Germans took over parts of the north. Her village, Chamilo, was burnt to the ground. "I was seven. All we had were the clothes we were wearing," she says. "I saw my parents crying because they had nothing to offer me and my brothers," she remembers adding that the family moved into a roofless, abandoned home where neighbours helped with clothes, blankets and food. Two years later, her family relocated to Idomeni. She still remembers the train stopping at the station with carriages full of Greek Jews. She now knows they were being taken further north to concentration camps. Many of the families around Idomeni also have a history of upheaval. In the early 1920's, following the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Greco-Turkish war, hundreds of thousands of people were uprooted from their homes in what is now Turkey and sent to Greece as part of a forced exchange of Christians and Muslims. Over the last year people fleeing conflict have stopped at the same railway station, walking over the border in search of a better life in other European countries. Old carriages donated by the Greek railway corporation have become ramshackle homes. "Without the war I wouldn't be in Europe. I didn't want to come here," Haja says back in Panayiota's living room. "Now we are here just waiting. But for what? We have no money so I don't know what we can do," says Haja who used to work in a clothes shop. Even though their lives have been turned upside down, Panayiota sees one reason to smile. "At first they were shy with their heads down all the time. But I told them 'Lift up your heads! What has happened is in the past. You are all young'." In the kitchen they are having a weekend cook-up - stuffed vine leaves, chicken and home-made pizza. The Syrians have learnt just a handful of Greek words and their adoptive mother does not speak a word of Arabic. But, somehow, with plenty of gestures, they get by. Before sitting down to eat together Panayiota says those stuck in Idomeni are not beggars, so politicians should open the borders and let them get on with their lives. "I'll miss them if they do manage to move on - especially the girls. They keep me company. We talk and we laugh even though we cannot understand what each other is saying," she says before trying once again to persuade Majid to give up smoking. "OK mama, OK mama," he replies with a smile. Stanford began this year as the Under-23 Triathlon World Champion. She ended the year as Senior World Champion. The 24-year-old's achievements are all the more remarkable given that she only took up triathlon during the summer of 2008. A successful junior distance runner, the teenage Stanford was mentored by 2004 Athens Olympics double gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes. But injury forced a change of direction. As part of her rehabilitation she took up swimming and then joined the University of Birmingham's triathlon club. Her development as a triathlete was rapid, culminating with victory in Auckland in October 2012 where she was crowned Under-23 World Champion. Training alongside the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonny, she claimed her first title as a senior in April, winning the European Cup triathlon in Portugal In the opening World Triathlon Series event of the season in San Diego a stunning sprint finish saw her claim second place. Having missed the races in Auckland and Yokohama, Stanford came back to claim her maiden Series win in Madrid, 26 seconds ahead of Germany's Anne Haug. She could only finish 16th in Kitzbuehel, Austria at the beginning of July and opted to miss the European Championships to concentrate on her World Series bid. That decision seemed to have been vindicated when she finished second in Hamburg in July. But a crash on the same weekend during the mixed relay triathlon resulted in a night in hospital and the subsequently discovered broken arm threatened to scupper her season. Stanford conceded she had been "very lucky" to escape more serious injury and was back in action a month later in the penultimate event in Stockholm. There she finished second behind her rival for the title and series leader, the United States' Gwen Jorgensen. Going into September's Grand Final in London, Stanford was third in the standings ahead of the race, 13 points behind favourite Jorgensen. The Welshwoman overcame a 15-second penalty - for not placing her wetsuit in the box - before a superb run ensured victory in Hyde Park and the title of ITU World Champion. In winning she became only the second woman to be crowned back-to-back Under-23 and World Triathlon titles, an achievement even Stanford herself could barely imagine. "Twelve months ago I was absolutely over the moon to win the under-23 world title... I never ever dreamt that just one year later I'd be sitting here as senior world champ," she said. Media playback is not supported on this device Westley was dismissed for three as England were all out for 258 on day one of the second Test against West Indies. He has scored 133 runs in his six Test match innings having made his debut last month. Test Match Special's Jonathan Agnew said he believes Westley is "one innings away" from being dropped. England's number three was out lbw to Roach in a fashion similar to other dismissals in his short international career. "In two innings against West Indies he has played across the line twice," Vaughan said. "It is a real issue for him. Batting at number three you can't have that fragility of a technique. "[If you] bowl a channel his head falls over to the off side and he finds it difficult to get a stride in. "That front foot has to be flat on the ground when you are playing a drive or forward defensive. For his wicket he is on his tip toes with his front foot. He has no balance at all. "Only a few Test matches into his career so far, I think he has been worked out." England began the day with question marks over the selection of Westley and fellow batsmen Mark Stoneman and Dawid Malan with the Ashes series in Australia to come this winter. All three failed, with Stoneman making only 19 in his second Test and Malan, playing in his fourth match, out for eight. "These players have got an opportunity to get on the trip to Australia and all three have made mental or technical mistakes," Vaughan said. "The selectors will be concerned. They will be supportive to the public and in the media but privately will have real concern. "You have got to give Stoneman longer as he has only played two innings. At times he played nice strokes and played the ball late. "Malan made 65 last week and maybe he was too confident. His wicket was a poor stroke." It emerged earlier this week that the toy company had changed its terms to say that families using its software did so at their "own risk". This prompted a backlash in which some security experts suggested parents should boycott its products. The UK's Toy Retailers Association has since said VTech remains "reputable". However, at least two major stores have told the BBC that they are in talks with the Hong Kong-based manufacturer to decide how to proceed. VTech was alerted to the fact it had been hacked in November when it was contacted by the Motherboard news site. It later confirmed that more than 6.3 million children's accounts and 4.8 million parent accounts had been compromised. Photos, voice messages, and chat conversations between the adults and their children were among the profile data exposed. The company later hired the security firm FireEye and subsequently restored its Learning Lodge app management platform at the end of last month. But it caused further controversy when it changed its European terms and conditions to state parents must assume "full responsibility" for using its software. "You acknowledge and agree that any information you send or receive during your use of the site may not be secure and may be intercepted or later acquired by unauthorised parties," it added. "Use of the site and any software or firmware downloaded therefrom is at your own risk." The firm told the BBC that the move was intended to help protect itself from legal claims. "The Learning Lodge terms and conditions, like the T&Cs for many online sites and services, simply recognise that fact by limiting the company's liability for the acts of third parties such as hackers," a spokeswoman explained. "Such limitations are commonplace on the web." The terms include the caveat that VTech only absolves itself of responsibility in so far as "applicable laws" allow it to do so. The Information Commissioner's Office has confirmed that this would not be possible in the UK. "The law is clear that it is organisations handling people's personal data that are responsible for keeping that data secure," said a spokeswoman. A data protection specialist added that this would be the case for other EU countries too. "If VTech did suffer another breach, some people might be dissuaded from bringing a claim because of the terms and conditions, or VTech might be trying to give themselves room to argue that they aren't liable," said Paul Glass from the law firm Taylor Wessing. "But under European and UK law the obligation is on the company in control of the data to take appropriate steps to protect the information from unauthorised disclosure or access. "Even if VTech did try and argue that people were contractually prohibited from bringing a claim, it is a difficult position for the firm to take." Two of the UK's leading retailers told the BBC that they had contacted VTech to discuss its approach. "The security of our customers' personal data is of the utmost importance to us," said Argos. "We are aware of the story relating to VTech and we are in conversations with them to learn more before taking any action." John Lewis added: "We are in active conversations with VTech around this issue and are looking at reviewing how we communicate the use of the Learning Lodge to customers as a result." The Toy Retailers Association, which represents much of the trade, was more robust in its defence of the firm. "VTech are and have been a reputable supplier of toys and [were] subject to an indiscriminate hacker," said the body's chairman Alan Simpson. "Under the circumstances they have and will continue to take all reasonable precautions to protect their customers. "But like everyone else a hacker does not play by any moral rules." Some security experts, however, remain critical of VTech's handling of the breach. "No company can protect 100% against the possibility of being hacked, but taking sufficient precautions and ensuring a good level of security is maintained should be the fundamentals of any policy where users' private data is being held," commented Mark James from the cybersecurity firm Eset. "To shift ownership over to the users is bad enough in itself but to make it known through walls of text in T&Cs is a bad way to do it - no one honestly reads it, especially a parent trying to set up something for their children. "Our minors' data should be ultra-important for any organisation and protecting that should be their number one priority. If voting with your feet is the best way to make them understand, then maybe that's the right thing to do." The trial heard Winston Blackmore, 61, married 24 women. His former brother-in-law James Oler, 53, married five. They were both charged with one count of polygamy. Each face up to five years in prison. The landmark ruling is considered a test of the boundaries of religious freedom in Canada. "The Charter of Rights is the supreme law of Canada but we have to realise that the rights in the Charter are not absolute," Wally Opal, former BC attorney general told CTV News following Monday's ruling. Blackmore and Oler are from Bountiful in southeastern BC, a religious community of about 1,500 people founded in 1946. Both are former bishops with a breakaway Mormon sect, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). Mr Blackmore was excommunicated from the FLDS in 2002 and replaced by Mr Oler. The sect has branches in the United States, where it has about 10,000 members. Polygamy is illegal under Section 293 of Canada's Criminal Code. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police first began investigating the sect in Bountiful in the 1990s. But attempts to bring the case to trial stumbled over a lack of legal clarity. In 2011, the BC Supreme Court upheld Canada's anti-polygamy law as constitutional following a request from BC's government for a ruling on the issue. It said the law was a reasonable restriction on religious freedoms in Canada. The verdict on Monday is unlikely to be the final legal word. Blackmore's lawyer, Blair Suffredine, told the court he planned to launch a challenge to the anti-polygamy laws should his client be found guilty. Legal experts suggest that the case is likely to eventually end up in the Supreme Court of Canada. With the death of their revered leader Mullah Omar and the selection of a successor, the group has entered uncharted territory. Mullah Akhtar Mansour's appointment came after three days of talks among members of their religious council. There were disagreements over the choice of Mansour, a native of Afghanistan's Kandahar province. Many powerful commanders, including the Taliban's top military commander, Abdul Qayum Zakir, have long-standing disagreements with him. A faction within the Taliban wanted Mullah Omar's eldest son, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, to take over; other leading figures favoured Mullah Abdul Ghani Braradar, a founding member of the Taliban and Mullah Omar's former deputy. Mullah Mansour served as aviation minister during Taliban rule and has been a deputy of Mullah Omar and acting head of the Taliban's Leadership Council for around three years. He has been accused of monopolising power and hijacking the movement. Some also accused him of being close to Pakistan. But he is seen as a pragmatist and a proponent of peace talks. The biggest challenge for the new leader will be to keep the group united and inspire and motivate the rank-and-file members. The council also appointed the chief of Haqqani network, Sirajuddin Haqqani, as one of two deputies of the new leader. His other deputy is Mawlawi Haibatullah Akhundzada, a religious scholar and former head of the Taliban courts. As they represent different factions and tendencies, this seems to be part of an effort to make the group inclusive and united. Mullah Omar had become a mythical figure within the group, closely obeyed by the wider membership. With a $10m (£6.4m) US bounty on his head, Mullah Omar kept an exceptionally low profile. He was not seen again in public after he left Kandahar on a motorbike when the Taliban regime fell in December 2001. Mullah Omar was widely rumoured to be in Pakistan. A couple of sightings in Pakistan were reported, in 2004 and later in 2011, but the authorities there have always denied his presence on their soil. He did not live with his wives and children, perhaps for security reasons. His eldest son, 27-year-old Mohammad Yaqoob, graduated recently from a religious seminary in Karachi. He has never issued a video statement and relied on audio messages to instruct his lieutenants and the Taliban leadership council. But apparently that, too, stopped around 2008. He issued written statements usually twice a year for the two Muslim festivals of Eid. The latest of these statements, issued on 15 July, expressed support for the peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban. Mullah Omar was the glue that held the movement together since it was launched in 1994. He was both feared and revered. His reclusiveness added to his mystique. However, in recent years, his absence fuelled rumours that he was dead or incapacitated. Over the past two years, questions about his life and whereabouts increased, putting pressure on Mansour to produce credible evidence he was alive. The other controversial point is the timing of Mullah Omar's death, as rumours of his ill-health and demise have circulated in the past. Afghan and Nato officials have said around a dozen times over the last 14 years that Mullah Omar was dead. But the Taliban repeatedly denied this as "enemy propaganda". The Afghan government said on Wednesday that Mullah Omar died in a hospital in Karachi in April 2013, while other reports put it in July that year. But by some accounts Mullah Omar died in recent weeks of a heart attack. He had reportedly been ill for a long time and was operated on about four years ago after developing heart complications. The cause of his death is also a matter of debate. It is widely thought the Taliban leader died from an illness - some reports say tuberculosis, others mention hepatitis. But several credible sources told me that he died of heart attack in Pakistan. Taliban sources say he was buried on the Afghan side of the border after his son identified his body. The new Taliban leader will have to deal with two big problems. On one hand, it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for his successor to achieve the same popularity in the group. On the other, disagreements could result in the fragmentation of the Taliban and possible defections to the so-called Islamic State (IS). Mullah Omar had a dual role. He was the political and military leader of the Taliban but more importantly he was called Amir al-Mumineen (Leader of the Faithful). The Taliban have a principle of "obedience to the Amir (leader)," which makes following orders a religious duty. Mullah Omar was seen as a saintly figure to whom all the Taliban had pledged allegiance. Even leaders of foreign militant groups such as al-Qaeda, the Pakistani Taliban and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan had sworn loyalty and accepted Mullah Omar as leader. But Mullah Mansour has now been given the same title of Leader of the Faithful. This means that he would expect the same religious legitimacy Mullah Omar had. It will be a challenge for Mullah Mansoor to acquire the same wider appeal and legitimacy. In the case of a questionable religious authority, members of militant groups including the Taliban and al-Qaeda could switch their loyalties to the leader of the IS who has declared himself the Caliph. Although Mullah Mansoor does not have same stature as Mullah Omar, efforts are under way to resolve these internal disagreements within the Taliban. The ex-West Bromwich Albion and England forward died in 2002 from brain trauma caused by heading heavy leather balls. The FA had promised a 10-year study into the effects of heading footballs but nothing has been published. Mr Astle's widow, Laraine, has now received a letter of apology from the FA chairman, Greg Dyke. In the letter Mr Dyke apologises for the FA's lack of contact and says he will meet the family to discuss their concerns. The letter goes on to say a commission has been set up to investigate head injuries, which includes representatives from the FA, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) and the Premier League. Mrs Astle, who lives near Swadlincote in Derbyshire, said: "I think about Jeff every day and after waiting 12 years for this apology I just want some closure. "I want to ask Mr Dyke why it's taking so long to look into this because we just want football to be safer for youngsters coming into the game." Mrs Astle said she was backing calls by the Labour MP for Rhondda, Chris Bryant, for a Parliamentary inquiry into the issue. Mr Bryant said: "All the evidence from the USA shows head injuries in sport can lead to onset of early dementia, depression and other medical problems. "What happened to Jeff Astle has happened to hundreds of other professional footballers... we want a full inquiry to get the facts out there." A study in the US in 2011 led doctors to say they had found evidence on brain scans that frequently heading a football could lead to brain injury. Lead researcher Dr Michael Lipton said at the time: "Heading a soccer ball is not an impact of a magnitude that will lacerate nerve fibres in the brain. "But repetitive heading could set off a cascade of responses that can lead to degeneration of brain cells." On Saturday a group of West Bromwich Albion fans, including Jeff Astle's daughters, launched a campaign called Justice for Jeff at the club's match with Hull City. Supporters waved banners and held a minute-long round of applause after nine minutes to symbolise the number nine shirt Astle wore during his career. The group said more protests were planned for the team's home game with Cardiff on Saturday. Jeff Astle played for West Bromwich Albion from 1964 to 1974. He scored 137 goals in 292 league appearances for the club and is recognised as one of its greatest players. He scored West Brom's winning goal in the 1968 FA Cup final and also played for England in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Police said the crash happened on the A6094 between Howgate and Rosewell. The heavily damaged Honda Civic was discovered by another motorist at about 07:30 on Saturday. The 27-year-old driver is being treated in hospital. Officers have appealed for any witnesses to contact them. Several schools around the 5,450m (17,900 foot) volcano were closed as a precaution, and evacuation shelters have been prepared. The National Disaster Prevention Centre (Cenapred) raised the alert to "yellow stage three" - the third-highest level. The volcano lies around 70km (40 miles) from Mexico City, and is visible from the capital on a clear day. "We can hear the roar of the volcano, sometimes we can feel its force," Concepcion Perez from the town of Xalitzintla in Puebla State, 12km (seven miles) from the volcano told the French news agency Agence France-Presse. Cenapred officials said the alert could remain for weeks or months until the volcano's activity diminished. Popocatepetl - which means "Smoking Mountain" in the indigenous Nahuatl language - is Mexico's second-highest peak. In 2000 a major eruption forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from nearby communities. Baroness Beverley Hughes said the operations in the aftermath showed the strain of spending cuts put on police. Ms Hughes praised the way the emergency services' response to the 22 May suicide bombing which killed 22 people. But, it comes in the light of cuts of up to 2,000 officers in Greater Manchester, since 2010. More than 240 emergency calls were made in the wake of the arena attack, with 60 ambulances and 400 police officers in attendance, figures show. Ms Hughes, who was officially appointed to the position which will oversee police and crime on Monday, said: "I would like to say that I think the police, emergency services, hospitals... staff who poured in that night and stayed there for days on end... everybody did put absolutely everything they could into responding. "But there will be things that could have been done better and that's why we need a review, an honest review." But, she also echoed concern from Greater Manchester's Chief Constable that a loss of 2,000 officers in seven years had left staffing at the "low end of reasonable". The former home office minister said along with the Mayor Andy Burnham would be pressing the new government for more resources. "The Mayor and I think we've got down to a level now that is not sustainable," she said. The former Labour MP for Stretford and Urmston praised the way Manchester reacted to the attack which cost 22 lives. "I went down to Wythenshawe Hospital and they've had to put a room there for all the things members of public have brought in for people injured and their families and so-on," she said. "And everybody just wanted to do something they could, to be of help and show solidarity. It's great." London Mayor Sadiq Khan also said police need extra resources following Sunday's terror attack in the capital. The Army took over Imber on Salisbury Plain during World War II to use the area for training. Local residents were made to move out and were never allowed back. It has been used by the military ever since. For the first time, they are allowing access on 25 December so bellringer Jenny Hancox can ring the church bells on her birthday. In 1943, people living in the village were told to leave so the Army could prepare for D-Day, and the village now resembles a ghost town. The military allows access to the abandoned village on a handful of occasions each year. "It is a very sad story but we're certainly making history on Christmas Day," said Neil Skelton, custodian of St Giles Church. "The original bells were taken out in 1950 when all the furnishings and fittings were dispersed to other churches. "The Diocese of Salisbury was planning to demolish the church. That didn't happen." In August 2010, a group of "enthusiastic" bell ringers - which included Mr Shelton - installed some new bells. Ms Hancox said she was "very happy" about fulfilling her ambition of ringing the bells of the 700-year-old St Giles Church on her special day. "My birthday is on Christmas Day and it's very rare that I get to ring on that day for me," she added. "I thought it would be a nice place to ring for my birthday. "I usually ring at Lacock, Corsham and Melksham - it will be a band from that area that will be ringing with me on Christmas Day." The group will ring a quarter peal at the Grade I-listed church, which is due to last about 45 minutes. It will be open to the public. Despite £3,000 being spent on the church over the last eight years, Mr Shelton said it was "extremely unlikely" that it would come back into permanent use. "One never knows. It's been repaired and it's all in good order," he added. "So should the village ever come back into use the church is ready to go back into full use. But I think if it ever does happen it's a long way in the future." The two devices were discovered in the Highmoor Road area of the city during a security alert on Thursday. Ch Insp Gordon McCalmont said: "These devices were viable and I welcome the fact that we have discovered them and made them safe. He added that a "small minority are intent to cause terror" but police are "committed to keeping people safe". It sets out the infrastructure needed to "best connect to HS2" and also includes a faster bus network, more cycle routes and new rail stations. The West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) adopted the Movement for Growth strategy on Thursday. After a three-month consultation it said it had a "clear path" to follow. Updates on this and more from Birmingham & the Black Country Extra cycle routes are set to be developed throughout the region. New tram and train links between Walsall and Stourbridge and new suburban rail lines and stations for Castle Vale, Castle Bromwich and Moseley and Kings Heath also form part of the strategy. Councillor Roger Lawrence, chairman of the ITA, said the region would "be speaking with one voice" in support of the plans. "We have a clear path to follow, so now is the time to move forward and deliver these schemes." The Treasury has pledged £1bn of government money to create the new authority, expected to be made up of councils in Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton. It has also confirmed a 10-year, devolved £8bn transport budget, the ITA said. The high-speed rail network, initially between London and Birmingham, was given the go-ahead by the government in 2012, despite strong opposition. Wolff, 29, will join Williams as a development driver, which involves aerodynamic testing, simulator work and track tests. Team principal Frank Williams said: "Susie is a talented racing driver who competes in one of the world's most fiercely-contested racing series [DTM]. Formula 1 is the ultimate challenge for any racing driver and it offers me the chance both to apply and to improve the skills I have "Susie will also attend a number of races with us." Wolff will continue to compete in this year's DTM season, where she has driven for the past six years. She said: "Formula 1 is the ultimate challenge for any racing driver and it offers me the chance both to apply and to improve the skills I have. "I hope also to demonstrate that women can play a role at the highest levels of motorsport." Susie is married to Toto Wolff, a director of Williams, and her appointment was carefully considered and then approved by the board, with Toto recusing himself from the process. F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said: "I am really looking forward to having her in Formula 1." Wolff, who was born in Scotland, follows Spaniard Maria de Villota into the sport, who joined Marussia as a test driver for 2012. The last woman to enter the F1 world championship was Italian Giovanna Amati, who failed to qualify for three races at the start of the 1992 season with Brabham. Five women have entered F1 races in the past, the most prolific being Italian Lella Lombardi, who started 12 grands prix in the 1970s. Kris Hopkins, MP for the West Yorkshire constituency of Keighley and Ilkley, survived an IRA gun attack in Belfast and a mortar attack in County Armagh. In 2010, he wrote about his experiences with the Army in Northern Ireland. In the Yorkshire Post, he wrote of his "revulsion" at Martin McGuinness but said he supported the peace process. "The IRA tried to shoot me on the New Lodge road, and tried to blow me up in a 16-round mortar attack in Bessbrook," Mr Hopkins wrote in November 2010. He said those attacks "fossilised" his view of the IRA. However, Mr Hopkins signalled his support for devolution in Northern Ireland and said when he watched politicians arguing over issues like water rates, he was thinking "how great it was that they were not trying to kill each other". On Sunday, the 53-year-old was given the role of parliamentary under secretary of state at the Northern Ireland Office - a junior ministerial role. The article was written four month after the then prime minister David Cameron apologised on behalf of the state for the Bloody Sunday killings in Londonderry. The Saville report of June 2010 unequivocally blamed the Army for the fatal shooting of 14 civilians during a civil rights march through the city in 1972. Mr Hopkins said that at the time of the report's publication "it was difficult for me, as an ex-soldier, to hear the words that were said and their context". However, the MP said he reiterated his support for the prime minister's apology. Mr Hopkins also wrote in the Yorkshire Post about his views of Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness' journey from paramilitary to politician. "I was at a meeting at the Tory Party conference recently [in 2010] with Sinn Féin's deputy leader Martin McGuinness. "I have to tell you of the absolute revulsion and anger that I felt when he walked into the room. "So, it is great for you politicians to do it, but for me, that moment involved a huge journey and a massive leap," Mr Hopkins wrote. "But as he spieled his spiel, and as the media and the secretary of state challenged him, I realised that that was the place where we needed to be. "That is why those Members should be in the House of Commons, where they can be held to account. That is the politics of the future." The same year, he said Sinn Féin MPs should not be allowed to claim parliamentary expenses because they abstain from taking their seats at Westminster. After leaving the Army, and before entering politics, Mr Hopkins gained a degree in communications and cultural studies and worked as a media lecturer. He is also a keen photographer and in 2010 he wrote about how an iconic photograph, taken during Bloody Sunday, affected him. "One that had a huge impact on me is that of Father Daly, a priest in the United Kingdom, begging for safe passage for injured people. "What a terrible situation to have in our country." The ONS has published data covering the effects of taxes and benefits on household incomes in 2014. The figures show the average household in NI paid £12,000 in taxes and received £13,000 in direct and indirect benefits. Average earnings are £25,540 giving a final household income of £26,500. The UK average final income is just under £32,000 and the highest average is in London at almost £39,000. The figures also show that on average Northern Ireland households pay the second lowest amount in direct taxes, such as income tax, at £5,458. However, they pay the second highest amount in indirect taxes, such as VAT, at £6,501. Northern Ireland households are not, on average, the largest recipients of direct benefits - four other regions have higher average benefit incomes. Glenys Thomas and Florence Davies, who were 103, lived next door to each other for most of their lives in Abertridwr. The pair later lived together at a care home in the village before Glenys died on 23 April and Florence died on 20 May. The twins, born on 22 November 1911, had five children, 12 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren The pair lived through two world wars, 19 British prime ministers and were born in the same year as the coronation of King George. In the care home they had an interior door joining their two kitchens and they had rooms a couple of doors away from each other. Canon Jeremy Pemberton had claimed the Church of England's stance on same-sex marriage breached equality laws. But last year it was ruled he was not discriminated against when stopped from taking up a new post as a hospital chaplain after marrying his partner. Mr Pemberton said the Employment Appeal Tribunal has given him leave to go to the Court of Appeal. Mr Pemberton, a hospital chaplain in Lincolnshire, was barred in 2014 by the then acting Bishop of Southwell from taking up a job for the NHS in Nottinghamshire, just weeks after marrying. The Church had warned him marriage other than between heterosexual couples was against its teaching. In a statement today, Mr Pemberton said his appeal had been dismissed on every ground but judge Jennifer Eady QC had granted leave to refer the case to the Court of Appeal. Mr Pemberton said: "The result is, obviously, not the one my husband and I had hoped for. "I appreciate that this case was a source of hope for many people and I am grateful that the judge has recognised its significance and indicated that its importance warrants permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal. "I am now going to take some time to consider the lengthy judgment with my husband and we will decide on the best way forward." A spokesperson for the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham said: "Churches across the diocese continue to offer a generous welcome to people from all backgrounds and we remain fully engaged in the Church's exploration of questions relating to human sexuality. "The Church of England supports gay men and women who serve as clergy in its parishes, dioceses and institutions. "It has no truck with homophobia and supports clergy who are in civil partnerships, as set out in the House of Bishops guidelines in 2006." A copy of the ruling is yet to be published by the judicial office. Rescue missions had to be mounted on Sunday night after some swans began landing on water-logged roads. Among those helped back to the safety of the Grand Canal was a disorientated swan on the Naas Road in Inchicore. Police said after it was summarily detained it was released "without much of a flap". Another of the confused birds was captured at Wood Quay in the city after it thought it had landed on a swan lake. It was wrapped in a Garda high visibility jacket and released "to be with other swans". No charges followed in either case. The Garda took to social media to get the message across to other swans that they'd really be better not taking to the roads. "High winds of Storm Imogen playing havoc with local swans, they're landing on wet roads thinking they are rivers," the Garda tweeted. "We advise swans not to go chasing waterfalls and to please stick to the rivers and lakes they're used to." It's not known how many swans saw the tweets, or shared them with the city's ducks and geese, but no more rescues were reported. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was a time to give "comfort and support" to those who need it. Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson paid tribute to those working over Christmas while Labour's Kezia Dugdale called on people to "heal divisions". Meanwhile, Scottish Secretary David Mundell paid tribute to Scottish service personnel stationed overseas. Ms Sturgeon, who recorded a video message at a party in Alness, said Christmas was about "spending time with those we love". She said: "This Christmas, I would encourage everyone to take the time to check on a friend or neighbour who is on their own. It's important to spend some time over the next few weeks giving comfort, companionship and support to those who need it. "Scotland has a proud reputation as a caring country and I want to thank everyone in the last year who has extended a warm welcome to those seeking refuge and comfort here. "So, wherever you might be celebrating Christmas, in Scotland or overseas, at work or at home, I wish you all the best for a Merry Christmas." Ms Sturgeon also highlighted people who work "in the service of others" over Christmas, and this was echoed by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson. Ms Davidson said: "I'd like to single out one particular group of people this Christmas - and that's those people who are going to be working over the Christmas weekend. "First and foremost that's the NHS staff, police and emergency services who give up time with their own families in order to make sure ours are safe. "But it's also the assistant at the 24-hour petrol station, the pot washer in the hotel kitchen, and the delivery worker on night shift who are out there this weekend, earning a living, keeping the country ticking over. Doing their jobs so we can enjoy our break. "Often the work they do goes unnoticed or is taken for granted. Perhaps it's only at Christmas and New Year that the rest of us really see it. So it's time for a very overdue thank-you." Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said people should "cherish these days of peace and calm" during a period of "joy and celebration". She said: "Christmas is also a chance to reflect on where we are as a nation. The constitution remains the defining issue in our politics and the divisions of recent years still remain. "When our country is facing so many major challenges, now more than ever we need to unite and work together. "My hope is that by next Christmas we will be more united as a nation, and can leave the arguments of the past behind us." Service personnel deployed abroad also sent home Christmas messages to their friends and families. Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "Servicemen and women from across Scotland are serving away from their families this Christmas in their endeavours to protect us - from those in our Army serving in the Middle East or the RAF troops ready for action in Cyprus, to all those aboard Royal Navy vessels from the Gulf to the South Atlantic or those on standby to scramble and protect our airspace. "I pay a huge tribute to all those serving our country and keeping us safe at this time of year and throughout the year." Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie also paid tribute to people working over Christmas, saying: "Our thanks must go out to those who work over Christmas including the emergency services who keep us safe. "Our thoughts are with those who are unwell, alone or struggling. And our appreciation is with those who come to their aid. "However, there is little doubt we are in a more uncertain and dark place in global affairs. The election of President Trump and the decision to sever links with our friends in Europe have taken our society in the wrong direction. "With attacks in Turkey, the conflict in Yemen, and the war in Syria with its awful reports from Aleppo, it is imperative we do not turn our backs no matter how difficult the challenge." Gen Miguel Maza Marquez was the head of Colombia's now defunct spy agency DAS at the time of Mr Galan's murder. Mr Galan was shot dead on 18 August 1989 as he walked onto a stage to address a crowd in the town of Soacha. Prosecutors accuse Gen Maza of conspiring with a drugs cartel to murder Mr Galan, which he denies. The murder of Mr Galan in front of thousands of people rocked Colombia. The liberal politician campaigned on an anti-corruption platform and was a favourite to win the 1990 election. Mr Galan made powerful enemies when he said that if elected he would have drug traffickers extradited to the United States. Colombian drug traffickers, who often enjoyed special, sometimes luxurious treatment in Colombian jails, feared extradition to US jails. Mr Galan had received a number of death threats against himself and his family in the run-up to his murder. Prosecutors allege Gen Maza played a role in Mr Galan's killing by reducing his security detail and replacing his experienced chief of security with someone relatively new to the task. They say he also collaborated with the Medellin drug cartel and its leader Pablo Escobar to infiltrate Mr Galan's security team. His trial is set to start on Monday. Gen Maza told Colombian weekly Semana that he himself had been the target of five assassination attempts by drug cartels, including a massive car bomb which killed dozens of people outside the DAS headquarters in December 1989. He said accusations that he had collaborated with the Medellin cartel were therefore "ludicrous". One of those expected to give evidence as part of Gen Maza's trial is Pablo Escobar's top hit man John Jairo Velasquez, also known as Popeye. He told Semana that Gen Maza and Pablo Escobar were "arch-enemies". After Mr Galan's murder, a key member of his campaign team, Cesar Gaviria, replaced him as the liberal candidate and was elected president in 1990. A 1991 constitutional amendment prohibited Colombian nationals from being extradited to the US. The day after the amendment was passed, Pablo Escobar handed himself in with the proviso that he would be jailed in a prison he himself had built. He later escaped from the prison and was shot dead in 1993 while on the run from the authorities. In 1997, Colombia resumed the extradition of drug traffickers to the US. Justice Robert Hulme in the New South Wales Supreme Court ruled that Jocelyn Edwards was entitled to use the sperm. It had been extracted posthumously from her husband, Mark Edwards, after he died in an accident at work. The case was a landmark in a state where IVF treatment is banned without the consent of the donor. Ms Edwards will need to move to another state to have the sperm inseminated. "It's the right decision. Mark would be so happy, we're going to have our baby. That's what I plan to do," she said outside the court. "I just want to get past today, enjoy the moment. It's been a long, long, long, difficult time," she added. Ms Edwards, 40, married her husband in 2005; the couple began discussing the use of fertility treatment and assisted reproductive technology after she failed to get pregnant. They had attended a clinic in early August 2010 and conducted tests, expressing their desire to try in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). The day before their next appointment, Mr Edwards was fatally injured. Ms Edwards asked for and got legal permission to extract sperm from her husband posthumously. This has been held at a laboratory pending the court case. "Although there is no direct evidence, the clear and only inference is that she desires to have a child with the aid of assisted reproductive treatment," the judge said. Justice Hulme said the choice was either to destroy the sperm or give it to Ms Edwards and he ruled in her favour as the administrator of her late husband's estate. The radio and television channels shut in June 2013 after the then-government called it "a haven of waste". The left-wing Syriza party made the reinstatement of ERT a key pledge in January's election, which it won. The party said all of the more than 2,600 staff made redundant in 2013 have been offered jobs by the station. "It's a special day for all Greeks, for those who love Greece and for those who love freedom of information," presenter Nikos Aggelidis said at the start of the first show on Thursday. "We're nervous. We're very touched." His co-host Vasiliki Haina said: "It's a special day for us, a difficult day." ERT's television channel went off air in the middle of a programme in 2013, and viewers saw only a black screen. There had been no warning of the channel coming to an end. The decision to end ERT, which cost €300m (£219m, $337m) to run, led to protests on Greek streets. But some said the network was plagued by cronyism and had appeared immune from cuts and reform. The relaunch of ERT's radio and tv broadcasts was not devoid of symbolism. Early this morning, with the national anthem playing in the background, the ERT logo was displayed prominently once again alongside the Greek flag. There then followed a video showing every ERT logo since its creation, right up to the black screen marking its closure in June 2013. ERT's first programme today featured a series of back-to-back interviews with high-profile figures from the ruling Syriza party, including the speaker of parliament. A concert by ERT's musical ensembles outside the station's headquarters is to be broadcast live on TV and radio this evening, followed by "The lost signal of democracy" - a documentary looking back at events since the previous government decided to close ERT. Journalists have mixed feelings about ERT's comeback. The Greek Federation of Editor Unions (POESY) has supported it but the Federation of Unions of TV and Radio Employees (POSPERT) has cast doubt on the transparency of the relaunch procedures and has called for a gathering outside ERT's headquarters tonight. While ERT continued to broadcast on the internet, a smaller-scale replacement, Nerit, was introduced in May last year. Nerit enjoyed moderate success despite a smaller staff, and secured Champions League football coverage and rights to broadcast the Eurovision song contest. Nerit's television operation merged with ERT on Thursday morning. The letters N and I were removed from the sign on Nerit's building to spell ERT earlier this week. ERT will be funded by a €3 surcharge added to electricity bills - less than the surcharge before it went off air. Greece's government, which is fighting to secure loans to help stabilise the country's finances, called the reinstatement of ERT "a victory for democracy". Centre-half Terry played in all four of England's matches at Euro 2012 and featured in the World Cup qualifying win over Moldova this month. I am of course disappointed to lose a player of John's international experience and exceptional ability But he claims his place in the England team is now "untenable" following the Football Association's decision to "pursue charges" against him despite being cleared in court of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. "I am of course disappointed to lose a player of John's international experience and exceptional ability," said Hodgson. "I have enjoyed a good relationship with John during my time as England manager and I reluctantly accept his decision. "He had the courtesy to call me prior to announcing his retirement." In a statement, the FA added: "Following his announcement that he is retiring from the England team, the FA would like to thank John Terry for all of his efforts with the national team over the past decade. During his 78 appearances, John has always given his full commitment to the team." Terry retired from international football on Sunday, on the eve of a FA hearing into allegations that he used "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour" towards QPR defender Ferdinand in a Premier League game 11 months ago. The 31-year-old Chelsea centre-half had already been cleared at a high-profile court case at Westminster Magistrates' Court, but the FA decided to hold its own inquiry. Date of birth: 7 December 1980 3 June 2003: First England cap as a substitute against Serbia and Montenegro 15 August 2004: Replaces Marcel Desailly as Chelsea skipper 19 August 2006: Takes over from David Beckham as England skipper on a permanent basis 5 February 2010: Stripped of England captaincy following a meeting with Fabio Capello 19 March 2011: Restored in the job by Capello 21 December 2011: Crown Prosecution Service announce Terry will be charged with racially abusing Ferdinand 13 July 2012: Cleared in court 23 September 2012: Announces his retirement from England duty after 78 caps Terry's last appearance for England came on 7 September, when he played in a 5-0 World Cup qualifier victory over Moldova. He had already been stripped of the England team captaincy as a result of the charges but played in every England game at the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine. Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott, 23, thanked Terry for his help during his international career. "JT has been fantastic to me, looked after me, been a great professional," he told BBC Sport. "I have just got to wish him good luck and respect his decision. It's sad obviously but it's his decision, and I have some great memories with him. "I didn't have a clue [Terry's decision to retire was coming]." Hodgson also asserted as recently as a month ago that he intended to include Terry in future England squads. Former England captain Gary Lineker believes Terry has made the right move and praised his performances in an England shirt. "Whatever you think about John Terry, he always gave his absolute all on the field for England," Lineker tweeted. "A strong leader and great defender." FA general secretary Alex Horne has rejected Terry's claims the FA had made his place in the England team "untenable". "It's a personal decision. I don't see how we've made it untenable," Horne told Sky Sports News. Jimmy Armfield, another former England captain, thinks Terry's retirement will be a blow to Hodgson. Armfield told BBC Radio 5 live: "I was surprised to hear the news. It has come at a pretty difficult time for Roy Hodgson. "We are in the middle of the World Cup qualifiers and I think he needs all the good players he has got." Newcastle manager Alan Pardew believes Terry's decision has weakened the England team. He said: "I just know for the manager of England, it's a blow because he is a great player and the pool isn't great for English players at the moment and the team. "That's the tough end for us, but that is a personal decision John has made." Media playback is not supported on this device Former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland defender Mark Lawrenson praised Terry's achievements at international level. "Regardless of what else has gone on, he has been outstanding for England on the pitch and as a leader," said Lawrenson. "He gives you everything, not just on the pitch but in the dressing room as well and they will miss him." Former FA chief executive Mark Palios said he was disappointed with Terry's decision, but believes the void will be filled quickly. "A lot of players will be sad to see him go, but there is one thing that happens in football and that is the graveyard is full of indispensable men," said Palios. "Another player will come along and fill the place." The Moroccan capital will host this season's third meeting on 22 May. IAAF president Lord Coe said in a statement: "We are pleased to be able to take our premier athletics series into a new continental area." The New York organisers said they would look to produce a new event, with a "street meet" under consideration. The United States retains one Diamond League meeting in Eugene, Oregon. Morocco has previously hosted other IAAF events, including the 2014 Intercontinental Cup in Marrakech. His Australian team-mates called him "Sir Voges" after he took his average above Bradman's 99.94 before it settled on 97.46 when he was out for 239 in the first Test in New Zealand on Sunday. "I'm happy it's back under 100, it was never going to stay there," said Voges. New Zealand ended day three on 178-4 in their second innings, 201 runs behind. Voges' second Test double century, which propelled Australia to 562 in their first innings, should have ended when he was bowled for seven by Doug Bracewell. However, he was reprieved by a no-ball call, that was later shown to be a legitimate delivery by television replays. "I thought I was out," said Voges. "But to have that bit of luck and then capitalise on the second opportunity, I'm very happy. "It was a bad leave and I turned around and looked at the stumps, went to walk off and saw the umpire's arm out. It was a little bit of luck." Voges' 364-ball knock, which featured three sixes and 30 boundaries, was finally ended when he was caught and bowled by Mark Craig, a record 614 runs since he was last out. He has now scored 1,267 runs since making his debut last year at the age of 35 against the West Indies. New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Martin Guptill put on 81 for the first wicket but both were deceived by well-flighted deliveries from off-spinner Nathan Lyon. Guptill (45) was the first to fall, top-edging a delivery that was well caught by Mitchell Marsh, while Latham (63) hit a poor shot to Usman Khawaja at mid-off. In between, Kane Williamson was restricted by Josh Hazlewood's disciplined bowling and he edged the Australian seamer to wicketkeeper Peter Nevill to depart for 22. Captain Brendon McCullum was then given out leg before wicket to Marsh in the final over, a call that was upheld by the decision review system, to leave the Black Caps perilously placed. Englishman Rose began the day with a one-shot lead and carded two eagles and two birdies for a six-under 64. But his playing partner Bjerregaard went one better with a 63, marred only by a bogey on the 18th that denied the Dane an outright lead. England's Ian Poulter hit six bogeys in a three-over round of 73 that left him 11 shots off the lead. Poulter, who made a last-minute journey from Orlando to play this week and maintain his European Tour membership, saw his chances of victory disappear with three bogeys in his last five holes. Rose and Bjerregaard are four shots clear of third-placed Anirban Lahiri, of India. A shot further back on ten under are India's Jeev Milkha Singh and England's Matt Fitzpatrick, whose four-under round featured five birdies. The 21-year-old, who won the British Masters at Woburn a fortnight ago, had raced to the turn in 30 but also dropped his only shot of the day on the last in a round of 66. Rose, who started the day nine under after rounds of 65 and 66, hit a wild drive on the first hole and had to putt from 15 feet for par. The 35-year-old then hit form on the par-five third with a drive of more than 350 yards and an excellent approach setting up an eagle chance that he converted from 25 feet. Rose briefly enjoyed a two-shot lead until Bjerregaard, who had birdied the third, also picked up a shot on the fourth. The Dane took a share of the lead after a tap-in birdie on the sixth and matching Rose's birdie on the 10th. Further birdies on the 11th and 12th took Bjerregaard two clear and the 24-year-old made it four in a row on the par-five 13th, but still saw his lead cut in half as Rose holed from 50 feet for his second eagle of the day. Rose birdied on the 14th before Bjerregaard retook the lead on the 16th, only to drop his only shot of the day on the last after his approach shot edged into the rough at the back of the green. A vet had to shoot the animal to prevent any further crashes, on what police described as "a fatal stretch of road". It happened between the Rathfriland Road off-slip and the Outlet Shopping Centre in County Down on Wednesday afternoon. The road was closed earlier but has now re-opened. A police spokesperson said: "This is a timely reminder to watch out for wild animals on the roads. "Thankfully no people were hurt on this occasion but a foot or so either side here and it (the animal) could have ended up going through a windscreen."

Nibali broke off the front of the main pack on the Col de la Croix de Fer - 59km from home. Froome had come to a momentary standstill on the side of the road to remove a stone caught in his brake calliper, as the Italian climbed out of the saddle to ride clear. It is against the race's traditions to deliberately exploit a rival's mechanical misfortunes and Nibali said that he had not seen Froome slowing to a stop behind him. Television replays showed Nibali twice glancing over his shoulder before accelerating away. "I told him exactly what I thought of him," said Froome afterwards. "I heard other riders could see that he turned around and then decided to attack. "That's not in the spirit of the Tour de France and it's definitely not what this race is about." Nibali said: "I won't repeat what he said to me, it was very harsh and unfair. "He was very angry with me but I didn't understand what his problem was. Today the race was on, I didn't know he'd had a problem." Tomorrow's stage offers opportunities for Quintana to test Froome's climbing abilities once again with a return up Col de la Croix de Fer before the final ascent to Alpe d'Huez. Froome's Team Sky team-mates drifted away during stage 19; Richie Porte, like Thomas, dropped off as an early injection of pace proved too much for their tiring legs. Dutchman Wout Poels did a fine solo job escorting Froome through the majority of the stage, and although he drifted on the final climb to La Toussuire, he will be required to do something similar on Saturday. "It was a massive day. From the word go the racing was on," Froome told ITV4. "All in all it was a good day to be able to tick it off with one day of racing left. Quintana put in a big attack and I opted to limit my losses and keep a bit of energy. "Tomorrow will be full on. I'm looking forward to Alp d'Huez. It would be a dream to win there but I have to keep up with the Colombian first." 1. Chris Froome (GB) Team Sky 78hrs 37mins 34secs 2. Nairo Quintana (Colombia) Movistar +2mins 38secs 3.

Romain Bardet (France) AG2R +14mins 8secs 10. Pierre Rolland (France) Europacar +17mins 27secs Tom Rogic scored two, the first a thumping volley. So did Moussa Dembele - one from the penalty spot. Scott Sinclair got his second goal on his first start for his new club. This was Celtic at their ruthless best. For Motherwell boss Mark McGhee, the only blessing was the scoreline wasn't even uglier. Only keeper Craig Samson's excellence prevented double figures. They conceded seven the last time they visited Celtic Park in May. Their survivors from that team would have had flashbacks. Celtic were inspired, principally, by the wonderful Sinclair and Rogic. Those two were relentless all night and rendered redundant Leigh Griffiths' absence through suspension. Sinclair was a dervish and Rogic a classy menace. The pair of them were nightmarish handfuls for Motherwell. The Australian played in behind Dembele and the whole thing clicked from the get-go. James Forrest had his moments up there as well. Motherwell played five at the back, but they might have played 15 back there and it wouldn't have made much difference. They were behind after 20 minutes. Sinclair had already gone close, but when Callum McGregor dinked a chip over the Motherwell defence and into Rogic, you knew what was coming next. Rogic had time and space to take it down, turn and rifle his shot past Samson. Celtic kicked on from there. Sinclair sparked a counter-attack, Rogic had a shot saved by Samson, then Dembele smacked the rebound off the crossbar before Rogic followed up to force another save from Samson. The Motherwell goalkeeper was outstanding but was helpless when Dembele doubled the lead from the spot after Sinclair was taken down in the box by Richard Tait. Samson was at it again soon after, making another double save from Sinclair and Rogic. Sinclair should have scored early in the second half. So, too, Dembele, who curled a shot over after terrific build-up play by Rogic and Sinclair. There were only occasional signs of a threat from Motherwell, quickly snuffed out by another torrent of Celtic goals. Sinclair cut inside from the left and pinged his shot into Samson's top corner for the third, then Dembele got his second from close-range with the help of a slight deflection. Rogic wrapped it up after Forrest drove in from the left and fired at Samson, who could only parry it into the Australian's path. In the closing stages, Brendan Rodgers brought on some of his youth to add more feel-good for the home fans - 17-year-old Anthony Ralston and 19-year-old Jamie McCart entering what was long since a rout. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers: "In the first half some of our attacking game at speed was excellent and in the second half we counter-pressed very well, which allowed us to create more chances. "All round from the first minute to the end it was fantastic. The level of performance at this stage of the season was very good. "Scott Sinclair will make other players better. We are very fortunate to have him. He is a Premier League player down south. He is so fast and dynamic, and gets you off your feet. He had a wonderful first game here." Motherwell boss Mark McGhee: "We were totally outclassed. Celtic were flying, [Tom] Rogic and their wide players were brilliant at times, but we weren't as good as we can be. "There was a lot of energy expended just chasing them and whenever we did win the ball back, we weren't able to keep it for long because we were fatigued. "We have to move on quickly. St Johnstone on Saturday will be a difficult game but it will be different from tonight." Match ends, Celtic 5, Motherwell 0. Second Half ends, Celtic 5, Motherwell 0. Attempt missed.

The group, campaigning against the end of the Independent Living Fund, were prevented from getting in by police. BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said about 20 protesters, many of whom were in wheelchairs, had made their way towards - and attempted to "storm" into - the Commons chamber. The doors were quickly closed on the chanting protesters, he said. Prime Minister's Questions carried on inside the chamber, and Commons officials told broadcasters not to film the protest, which continued outside in Westminster's central lobby. The protesters were from a group called Disabled People Against Cuts. One protester told BBC News the Independent Living Fund, which provides support for some 18,000 people and is worth £320m, was "vital for the lives of disabled people". The fund is being closed on 30 June with funding and responsibility transferred to councils and the devolved administrations. Its closure has been challenged in the courts, but was ruled lawful by the High Court in December. About an hour after Prime Minister's Questions ended, Scotland Yard said the protest was over. It said one person and their carer had been ejected from the Palace of Westminster for disorderly behaviour, but no arrests had been made. By Damon Rose, editor, Ouch! The Independent Living Fund provides money to severely disabled people in order to help them live independently. It typically funds personal assistants, or carers, for up to 24-hours a day to assist in everything from bathing, making meals and turning people in their beds at night. In December 2010 the government announced that this central pot of money was to close with responsibility with the full budget being passed to local authorities to provide the care - however the devolved budget has not been ring-fenced for disabled people. They fear they will receive less money, which they say could lead to them not being able to continue life-affirming voluntary or paid work and often say they may have to wait hours for someone to change them. The alternative could be giving up their homes and moving to residential care - which, with Winterbourne View in recent memory, is not desirable. The ILF gives disabled people the ability to hire and fire their own care and campaigners claim this is cheaper than residential care. Parachute funding is being offered to ease the blow, however, and some councils have guaranteed keeping the same level of payment. After the protest ended in the Commons the campaigners blocked the road outside Parliament. The Department for Work and Pensions said: "While opponents of these reforms scaremonger about support being withdrawn, in reality this is simply a debate about how support should be funded." A spokesman said all care and support needs of fund users would still be met, "but within a single care and support system". He added: "More than £260m will be made available to former ILF users in 2015/16 and local authorities and devolved administrations will be fully funded to ensure disabled people get the targeted support they need to live independent lives." Wolfgang Schaeuble said: "I'm glad about this report, which will increase the pressure." But getting global action against tax evasion was "endlessly laborious" work, he added. Tax dodges used by politicians, rich executives and others were exposed in an international media investigation. Germans were among those exposed. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) co-ordinated the examination of secret files from more than 120,000 offshore companies and trusts. An anonymous source leaked 2.5m secret files. The revelations cover 30 years of offshore banking activity, involving more than 170 countries and territories. Speaking on German Deutschlandfunk radio, Mr Schaeuble said there were "unbelievably complex schemes" for avoiding taxes. "It's another question whether they are all illegal," he said, adding that much of the activity was a "grey area". He said Germany would push for the EU to improve information exchanges about tax-dodging. "I hope the resistance to it will get weaker now," he said. One of Mr Schaeuble's ministerial colleagues, Steffen Kampeter, said Germany needed to co-ordinate action against tax evaders at the federal level, proposing a new agency like the FBI in the US to do so. Currently such action is managed by German regional authorities. Germany has put pressure on Swiss and Luxembourg banks to divulge information about Germans who are avoiding taxes. In the Cypriot banking crisis Germany was also one of the sharpest critics of the offshore model pursued by Cyprus, which attracted many rich Russians to the island and enabled them to avoid paying taxes at home. The ICIJ investigation embarrassed President Francois Hollande's Socialists in France, because it emerged that his former party treasurer Jean-Jacques Augier had invested in two Cayman Islands offshore companies. Malien handed Esperance a 2-1 defeat in Rades, near Tunis with striker Mamadou Coulibaly scoring the winner three minutes from time. Stade Malien secured the win despite finishing the game with ten men after defender Ibrahim Keita was sent off just before half time The visitors started well thanks to an opener from Abdoulaye Sissoko. Fakhreddine Ben Youssef levelled the score for the hosts, before Coulibaly's late winner. After three games, the two-time African champions Esperance are bottom of the Group A standings without a point, heaping more pressure on their French coach, Jose Anigo. Stade Malien have four points. Holders, Al Ahly of Egypt sit at the top with seven points after their 1-0 win over Tunisia's Etoile du Sahel on Saturday night. A first half strike from Waleed Soliman was enough for the Egyptian giants to win the contest on Saturday in Suez. Soliman volleyed home from his unreliable right foot six minutes past the half-hour mark to ensure Ahly maintain their unbeaten run at the mini-league stage and remain on course for a place in the last four. Ahly have one more point than Etoile who fell to their first group stage defeat. On Sunday, fellow Egyptians Zamalek took a big stride towards the semi-finals by beating AC Leopards of Congo 2-0 to go nine points clear at the top of Group B. Striker Bassem Morsy and playmaker Aymen Hefny scored in the first half as Zamalek continued their impressive run in the second tier continental club championship. In the group's other match, also played on Sunday, South Africans Orlando Pirates pulled off a surprise 1-0 win over Tunisia's CS Sfaxien. The decisive strike came from forward Thabo Rakhale just before half-time, handing Pirates a huge boost to their hopes of progressing to the last-four. They sit second in the table on six points - five ahead of both Leopards and Sfaxien. Two months have passed since the chancellor told MPs there would be no cuts in the overall policing budget from 2016-17 to 2019-20, but there has been little recognition of just how significant that statement was. It has subtly altered the political landscape, fundamentally changed policing priorities and is set to shape the law and order agenda for the media. The Spending Review announcement came 12 days after the attacks in Paris, which led to a debate about whether cuts to neighbourhood policing would erode intelligence-gathering and if UK police firearms units had the capacity and capability to respond to an attack by marauding gunmen. Politically, it would have been very tricky for the chancellor to have gone ahead with a cuts programme without acknowledging those concerns, but he went far further than anyone expected. The move outfoxed Labour, which had argued police could withstand cutbacks of no more than 10%. They did not think the chancellor would settle for anything less than that and were planning a fresh onslaught of their anti-cuts campaign. By design or default (and I veer towards the design theory), it also has placed Mr Osborne as the "policeman's friend". He is seen as the man who saved the 43 forces in England and Wales from cuts they feared would be in the region of 20-25%. Why the chancellor would want to be cast in that role may have something to do with the unofficial contest to succeed David Cameron when he steps down as prime minister, though I am sure he would deny it. One of Mr Osborne's likely rivals is Theresa May, the Home Secretary, whose bold programme of policing changes and uncompromising style have made her deeply unpopular among the ranks of constables, sergeants and inspectors. Mr Osborne's line towards the end of his statement: "The police protect us, and we're going to protect the police," signalled a clear difference of tone from Mrs May. Indeed, in December, the home secretary told chief constables and police and crime commissioners (PCCs) she would not have "any sympathy" for those who complained about existing budget cuts and that the new funding package did not "insulate" them from the need to make further efficiencies. "It does not let you off the hook or mean you can slow the pace of change," she said. "Now - more than ever before - there is no excuse not to deliver." Of course, there are still anxieties within policing circles about the effect of central government funding cuts imposed since 2010, and whether forces can handle the record number of sexual abuse cases they are having to investigate. Revised proposals for a new funding formula, after the previous bungled attempt, will create losers as well as winners, reigniting the concerns. But, overall, the media appetite for stories about police budgets is likely to dwindle. Instead, during the next five months, in the lead-up to the first PCC elections since November 2012, the focus will shift towards Mrs May's latest plans. They include: There has also been renewed speculation about a review of counter-terrorism policing, which could see powers transferred from Scotland Yard to the National Crime Agency. Each proposal by itself may not be agenda-setting or eye-catching. But the theme is clear. It represents a further loosening of the grip traditional police structures have had on law enforcement and a recognition that those outside the service have a vital part to play. The issue that may well dominate the PCC election campaign, however, is crime. The last set of data, published in October 2015, suggested more than seven million frauds and cybercrimes had been committed in England and Wales in the 12 months to the end of June. It was the first time there had been an estimate of fraud and online offences by the Office for National Statistics. If added to the authoritative Crime Survey, which has been showing a decline in overall offending rates for two decades, fraud would add 5.1 million offences to the total and computer hacking an extra 2.5 million, somewhat blunting the government's proud message that "crime is falling". What may well have happened is that criminals have switched from burgling houses, stealing cars and robbing people to swindling us online. Source: National Office for Statistics, year ending June 2015 All this has placed fraud and cyber-crime firmly on the law-and-order map, a position that will be cemented in July, when the numbers are automatically included in the Crime Survey, and then in October when provisional year-on-year comparisons become possible. There are also tentative signs that incidents of violence, recorded by police, may be increasing too, with knife possession up 9% and murders at their highest level for four years. Police figures, which rely on the public reporting offences and police recording them accurately, must be treated with caution, but the next set of data, published on 21 January, is keenly awaited. The Ashton Gate club will also add former New Zealand utility back Bruce Reihana to new head coach Pat Lam's backroom staff as skills coach in June. Perkins, 21, has been dual-registered with Bedford for two terms, while Ehizode, 19, has played Anglo-Welsh Cup rugby for Wasps this season. Reihana, 40, spent nine years of his playing career at Northampton Saints. He will join Bristol from French Top 14 side Bordeaux to work alongside Connacht's Lam, who was named in December as the Premiership strugglers' next permanent boss. "When the opportunity arose to join Pat Lam's coaching team and to work with the players at Bristol Rugby, it excited me straight away," he told Bristol's website. The symbol was visible during June's 1-1 draw against Group H rivals Italy, which was behind closed doors. The Croatian Football Federation said the incident was an act of "sabotage", but their appeal was rejected by Uefa. Croatia are third in the group, four behind Italy and two below Norway. The top two teams from each group automatically qualify for next summer's finals in France, with third place likely to mean a play-off. Croatia host Bulgaria and then travel to Malta in their final two qualifiers in October. They have to play two home games, including the Bulgaria match, in an empty stadium as part of their punishment. See all of the qualifying tables here. Karmakar, also a medallist at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, qualified for the Rio Olympics in artistic gymnastics on Sunday. She is one of only five gymnasts to have successfully completed the Produnova, one of the hardest vaults in the discipline. Indian social media has been filled with posts on her achievement. Gymnastics does not receive much funding from the government of India, and Karmakar herself comes from humble beginnings. She earlier told the BBC that when she competed in her first gymnastics competition, she did so without shoes and borrowed an oversized, ill-fitting costume. Karmakar is India's first gymnast to qualify for the Olympics in 52 years. Sports minister Sarbananda Sonowal was among those to congratulate the athlete as word spread about her achievement and she began trending on social media. The 49-year-old pleaded guilty at an earlier Blackpool Magistrates' Court hearing to sending unwanted texts and emails to beautician Sarah Kinder after she ended their relationship in March. Hendry, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, was ordered to do 100 hours' unpaid community service. Earlier this year, he received a 17-month road ban for drink-driving. Hendry began seeing Miss Kinder following the death of his wife Denise, 42, in 2009 from botched cosmetic surgery. The harassment began when Miss Kinder broke off their relationship in March. Hendry admitted making unwanted visits to her home and twice threw stones at her bedroom window to get her attention. Prosecutor Alison Quanbrough said that Miss Kinder had not wished to give evidence against him, did not want a restraining order and "simply wanted to put the matter behind her". The content of the messages was not hostile and was "almost affectionate" but the frequency of the contact amounted to harassment, the court heard. Miss Quanbrough said: "She says she did not feel at any risk from Colin and she does believe now that Colin has accepted the relationship is over. "She did not want Colin to be arrested and feels the whole episode has been blown out of proportion." Paul Schofield, representing Hendry, said: "He is determined that this case marks the end of what can be classed as a blip for him, in the last six months in total, and he can assure you - through me - that he will never transgress in any way again." During his career, Hendry played for Scotland in Euro 1996 and in World Cup 1998. The central defender was also a member of the Blackburn side that won the Premier League title in 1995. He also played for Manchester City, Glasgow Rangers, Bolton Wanderers, Coventry and Blackpool. Since then he has managed Blackpool and Clyde. Edouard Manet's Le Bar aux Folies-Bergere, which depicts a barmaid at the famous Parisian cabaret, recently featured at the National gallery's Inventing Impressionism exhibition. Sotheby's said the painting could fetch up to £20m at the sale on 24 June. It last sold at auction for £4.4m in 1994. "This is one of Manet's most famous subjects, and an absolute classic impressionist image of Parisian nightlife," Sotheby's Philip Hook said. The painting remained in the artist's personal collection up until his death when it was bought by an art dealer, and has remained in private hands since. It is one of two versions of the same scene created by Manet. A later, larger version is in London's Courtauld Gallery. Last November Manet's Spring - a portrait of a Parisian actress - set a new auction record for his work, selling for $65m (£42.6m) in New York. Manet neither looked nor acted like a revolutionary. But he was. It was this polite middle-class man of Paris who precipitated the epoch-changing art of the Impressionists. He was their mentor and hero. For it was Manet who stood up to the old-fashioned Paris Academy and refused to paint the pleasing pastiches of classical subjects it demanded. Instead, he took up the challenge laid down by the writer Charles Baudelaire and became a painter of everyday life. This original portrayal of life at the risque Folies-Bergere is an example of Manet's painterly gifts and radical tendencies. His subject is a barmaid not a goddess, who is serving in a den of iniquity, not lying about in some mythical pastoral scene. The Academy would not have been impressed, but the city's avant-garde would have cheered him all the way to the bar. Tariq Bostan, 28, had rowed with Northampton tattoo artist Joseph Kent, who was then hit twice by his brother Samir Boston. Mr Kent suffered a brain haemorrhage and died two days after the fight outside Xscape in Milton Keynes on 13 January 2013. At an earlier trial, Samir Bostan was found not guilty of manslaughter. Luton Crown Court heard how Mr Kent and his wife, Emma, had decided to get something to eat after celebrating her 22nd birthday. As Mr Kent, his friend Andrew Curzon-Berners and brother Matthew Kent were waiting in a queue for Kentucky Fried Chicken, they thought Tariq Bostan was pushing in. Tariq Bostan hit Mr Curzon-Berners, causing a cut lip and eye, before knocking out Matthew Kent. Samir Bostan and Joseph Kent became involved and the fatal punches were delivered. Mr Kent had been punched on the jaw and upper part of his neck. He suffered a brain haemorrhage and died two days later. Samir Bostan, 27, of Clarkes Spring, Tring, was found not guilty of Mr Kent's manslaughter at Luton Crown Court earlier this year. He had been sentenced to 26 weeks in jail for causing actual bodily harm to Mr Curzon-Berners. Tariq Bostan, of Sarum Road, Luton appeared for sentence having pleaded guilty on 14 June 2013 to two charges of causing actual bodily harm against Matthew Kent and Mr Curzon-Berners. Stephen Moses, for the defence, said Tariq Bostan had spent 116 days in custody and had been on curfew, the equivalent of a 49-week sentence. Judge Richard Foster passed a six-month jail sentence, meaning Tariq Bostan will spend no more time in custody. The Wales international, 25, was released from prison on Friday after serving half a five-year sentence for raping a woman in a hotel room. The former Sheffield United star also said he wants to return to playing football. He has so far declined any request to be interviewed by the BBC. However, in the statement on his personal website, he said: "I made an incredibly foolish decision and failed those people who trusted and believed in me, most of all Tasha and our families. "It is a rare and extraordinary privilege to be permitted to play professional football. "Now that I have served the custodial part of my sentence of two and a half years it is my hope that I will be able to return to football. "If that is possible then I will do so with humility having learnt a very painful lesson. I would like second chance but I know not everyone would agree." Evans was found guilty of rape and jailed for five years for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel near Rhyl, Denbighshire in May 2011. In his video statement Evans claims the sex was "consensual in nature and not rape" and does not offer any apology to his victim. There has been controversy about whether Evans should resume his career in football. Almost 150,000 people have signed a petition urging Sheffield United not to take the Wales international back. The Professional Footballers' Association said he should be allowed to play again after serving his sentence. United manager Nigel Clough said he had held talks with club officials about the possibility of Evans returning. The League One club signed the player for £3m in 2009, but released him the month after he was convicted of rape. After Mahatma Gandhi - whose birthday falls on Friday - Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is indubitably India's most revered leader. All over the country, his statues abound: in towns and cities and villages, road crossings and railway stations, and in parks. The charismatic leader is usually portrayed as a stocky bespectacled man, wearing a western suit and tie, with a pen in his front pocket and holding a book - the constitution of India - under his arm. This, according to historian Janaki Nair, "symbolises the self-assertion on the part of Dalits". Not surprisingly, in caste-ridden and unequal India, Ambedkar is a lightning rod for Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) and their opponents. This also possibly explains why authorities are placing in cages the statues of the leader - the "darling of the dispossessed", as historian Ramachandra Guha calls him - in many states. Tamil Nadu, one of India's most developed states, is one of the worst affected by the scourge of caste. It is India's second largest economy and, according to the World Bank, well on track to meet the major millennium development goals. The state's two main political parties were founded on rationalism. But this masks a dark reality of decades-old and continuing atrocities by the dominant castes against the Dalits, who comprise 19% of the state's population. Opponents of Dalit assertiveness have, over the years, provoked rioting and violence by desecrating - garlanding them with slippers, cutting off their heads - statues of Ambedkar. Pusillanimous authorities, unable to rein in the dominant castes have responded by placing the leader's statues in cages all over the state. "This is Tamil Nadu's biggest shame. It shows the complete failure of the state to protect the Dalits. The state is increasingly succumbing to caste barbarity," says political scientist C Lakshmanan. The opposition is so fierce and brazen that dominant caste groups have joined hands openly to demand softening of laws that aim at curbing atrocities against the Dalits - an example of what Mr Lakshmanan calls "explicit anti-Dalit politics". In the past, dominant castes have refused to let state-run public transport buses named after Dalit icons to enter their villages, forcing the authorities to remove the name. In many villages, Dalits are still not allowed to use communal wells, enter Hindu temples, and visit barber shops. More than 70 Dalits - more than in dirt-poor, caste-ridden, violent Bihar state - were killed in Tamil Nadu last year in mob attacks and clashes. There have been more than 15 judicial enquiries into incidents of atrocities against Dalits in the state since 1956, but not a single person has been punished. "The tension with the dominant castes is increasing by the day. The dominant castes are ranged against the Dalits," says D Ravikumar, former lawmaker and leader of VCK, a strident anti-caste party. Many in the state call the shameful caging of Ambedkar statues as an example of "caste fascism" in modern-day India. It also proves that the country's caste parties are mostly interested in extracting special privileges and concessions for their communities rather than fighting for justice and rights. So untouchability, in its worst and vilest forms, is alive and well in Tamil Nadu. In one of his memorable speeches, Ambedkar had wondered how long Indians would continue to deny equality in their social and economic life. "If we continue to deny it for long, we do so only by putting our political democracy in peril." Then, with what many say was chilling prescience, Ambedkar said that much of the growth of independent India was like "building a castle on a dung heap". He was not entirely off the mark. Chris Harvey, who was unemployed, charged up to 400,000% on loans, leaving people without food. The 53-year-old, of Hengoed, Caerphilly, admitted a string of offences, including theft and fraud. He was jailed for three years and four months at Cardiff Crown Court. Judge Michael Fitton QC told him: "You have an arrogant and controlling personality. "You spoke about these adults being fragile and vulnerable and what you have done is exploited them." Harvey, who has had children with nine different women, spent ten years taking benefits from eight "disadvantaged" family members and friends, including his brother. Prosecutor Timothy Evans said he took control of post office and bank cards and helped himself to more than £22,000 of their money - giving the victims smaller amounts to live on. "It was deliberate and sustained abuse of vulnerable members of his own family," he said. "He acted in a truly predatory way and was seen by these people as a friend. Harvey's offences were uncovered by an investigation by the Wales Illegal Money Lending Unit. When interviewed by police, he told officers "he was the patriarch of the family" who was carrying on what his father taught him. Harvey has been unemployed for the last 16 years and claims Disability Support Allowance for epilepsy, diabetes, asthma and depression. He pleaded guilty to four charges of fraud, three of theft and two of unlicensed money lending. Over 30,000 items littered 25 beaches on the one weekend surveyed - almost double the UK average. The MCS said the "shocking tide of litter" threatened visitors' safety. But fellow campaign group Keep Wales Tidy claimed the findings were not a true reflection of the state of the nation's beaches. Volunteers for the MCS, which has been cleaning up beaches for 20 years, spent a weekend last September collecting litter on different beaches around Wales. They found more than 4,400 items of rubbish for every kilometre surveyed, a figure which the group said was far worse than the UK average. The worst beach was Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire, where more than 7,000 pieces of litter were collected. On Ogmore beach in the Vale of Glamorgan, volunteers even found half a TV among the debris. Plastic fragments were the top finds once again - tiny pieces which have possibly been at sea for decades before finally washing up on a Welsh shore. The MCS said its survey suggested litter levels on Welsh beaches were now worse than ever and rose by 60% from 2013. But it added that there was less sewage-related debris after a plea in 2011 to stop flushing away items that should go in the bin. MCS Wales programme manager Gill Bell said: "It's coming in from the sea, being blown from the land or simply being dumped and dropped. "After 20 years of campaigning it's disheartening that in 2013 we are seeing worse litter levels in Wales than ever before." The society said that in June it would be launching a marine litter action network to try to change behaviour in a variety of areas. But Keep Wales Tidy called the survey misleading and unbalanced, saying it was based on one weekend's litter picking outside the tourist season and only covered 25 out of the 150 beaches in Wales. The charity said there was a strong likelihood that weather conditions would have had a major impact on this kind of snapshot survey. It said if the surveys were on north-facing, completely tidal beaches, they would have shown there was not a litter problem. Keep Wales Tidy chief executive Lesley Jones said: "We are very disappointed with the approach that MCS have taken with their beach survey and we think that the findings are inaccurate and misleading. "As an environmental charity in Wales, we are obviously not complacent and recognise litter ending up on our beaches that has been washed up from the sea, washed down our rivers or left on the beach is an issue that needs to be tackled, and we are tackling it. "We do need to challenge people, but sensationalised blanket statements which do not reflect the reality of the situation is not the way to do it." Habib al-Maatiq has already been in detention for more than a year, and it is reported that he has been released. It is not clear what he was charged with, but he was involved in a website that reported on pro-reform protests by Eastern Province's Shia majority. His detention prompted a petition on Twitter for his release, #FreeHabibNow. According to the campaign group PEN International, Mr Maatiq was arrested in February 2012 at the offices of the Al-Fajr Cultural Network website in the eastern city of Jubail. A colleague, Hussein Malik al-Salam, was arrested the next day, as was Jalal Mohammed al-Jamal, the manager of another news website. They were subsequently held at a prison in Dammam. Al-Fajr Cultural Network was shut down after Mr Maatiq's arrest. Since protests erupted in 2011 in Eastern Province, hundreds of people have been arrested and dozens remain in custody. The security forces are also alleged to have used excessive force against demonstrators, with about 10 reportedly shot dead. Officials say troops have only opened fire when confronted by armed people. The Insolvency Service said that 19,683 people in England and Wales were made insolvent in the third quarter of 2015. This was up 2.8% on the previous three months, but down 18.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Low interest rates have kept a lid on the number of people facing unmanageable debts. The Insolvency Service added that the number of businesses going bust continued to fall. Some 3,539 companies entered insolvency in the third quarter of the year, 4.4% down on the previous three months and 10.2% lower than the same quarter last year. The Insolvency Service said that the quarter-on-quarter rise in individual insolvencies was driven by an increase in Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA). An IVA is a deal between somebody in debt and their creditors, overseen by an insolvency practitioner. It is regarded as having less stigma and less chance of losing a home than bankruptcy, but involves paying some debts in one go. The number of people being made bankrupt fell to 3,857 in the third quarter of the year. This was the lowest level for 25 years. The total could fall further, as in October rules changed so the minimum debt a creditor must be owed in order to be able to petition to make someone bankrupt increased from £750 to £5,000. Mike O'Connor, chief executive of the StepChange debt charity, said: "It is important to remember that insolvency figures do not reflect the full extent of problem debt. More than 600,000 people contacted us for debt advice last year and insolvency was the right option for just 20% of them." Bankruptcy: The traditional way of escaping overwhelming debt. Ends after one year, but you are likely to lose all your assets, including your house, to pay something to the creditors Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA): A deal between you and your creditors, overseen by an insolvency practitioner. Less stigma, less chance of losing your home, but involves paying some of your debts in one go Debt Relief Orders: Introduced in April 2009, these allow people with debts of less than £15,000 (£20,000 since October 2015) and minimal assets to write off debts without a full-blown bankruptcy Separate figures from the Bank of England show that unsecured borrowing by individuals continues to rise. This was mainly in the form of personal loans, which rose by £1bn in September. Borrowing on credit cards rose by £288m last month, the Bank said. This was in line with the average of the previous six months. Cavani's ninth league goal secured a fourth win in five games as bottom club Nancy lost a third game in a row.

The fare increase was announced last December. At the time, Translink said the rise was a "last resort" and that fares across all of its services had been frozen since 2013. The rate of inflation in December 2014 was 1.6%, according to the Retail Prices Index (RPI). The Consumer Council has called on Translink to be clear about the actual level of fare increases that passengers face. Aodhan O'Donnell, the council's interim chief executive, said: "Put simply, if Translink are asking passengers to pay more they must be clear with their customers by how, and for what services." "The fact is that there are so many different ticketing options available on Translink's services that many people will not understand exactly what their new fare will be from 16 February." The defending champions led 6-3 at the break through two penalties from England fly-half Owen Farrell. Farrell and Nathan Earle crossed late in the second half to open up a 24-3 lead, before Bryn Evans' consolation. Saracens are eight points clear at the top of Pool Three after Scarlets pulled off a shock 22-21 win against second-placed Toulon earlier in the day. For the second match in succession, Sale had three players sin-binned against Saracens, but this was a vastly improved display from last week's 50-3 hammering at Allianz Park. This latest win saw Saracens equal the record of 13 victories in a row held by Munster since 2007. The game's three tries all came in the last eight minutes, with Farrell going over from close range after a one-handed offload by Will Skelton. Farrell scored 19 points in total although he missed two straightforward penalties. Earle added Saracens' second try three minutes from time, touching down a grubber kick, before Evans scored for a Sale side who have lost all four of their games so far and remain without a point. Sale fans at least had the consolation of seeing New Zealand wing Denny Solomona in action for the first time after his cross-code switch. The 23-year-old joined Sale on Tuesday despite having two years left on his deal with Super League side Castleford Tigers. Despite amassing 42 tries in 29 outings for Castleford last season, he was unable to get among the points-scorers on first rugby union outing. He came close in the second half when he almost latched on to AJ MacGinty's cross-field kick but the ball bounced just over his shoulder.

The union says Uber is breaching its duty on pay, holidays and health and safety. The firm says making drivers employees would mean losing the flexibility that makes the job appealing. GMB, the union that represents professional drivers, has instructed the law firm Leigh Day to take action on behalf of its members driving for Uber. Nigel Mackay from the firm believes legal action could result in "substantial payouts" for drivers. "We believe that it's clear from the way Uber operates that it owes the same responsibilities towards its drivers as any other employer does to its workers," he said. "In particular, its drivers should not be denied the right to minimum wage and paid leave." The GMB's Steve Garelick said: "Operators like Uber must understand that they have an ethical and social policy that matches society's expectations of fair and honest treatment." Uber describes itself as a "fully licensed" service that connects those needing a ride with a background-checked private driver, and takes a cut - typically 20% - of the fee. In May, Transport for London reported the number of private hire vehicle licences had risen from 52,000 to 77,000 over the previous 12 months, and most of that increase was down to new Uber drivers. An Uber spokesman said: "One of the main reasons drivers use Uber is because they love being their own boss. "As employees, drivers would drive set shifts, earn a fixed hourly wage, and lose the ability to drive elsewhere as well as the personal flexibility they most value." The scheme run by charity Think Ahead aims to recruit 300 graduates by 2018 to work with nurses and psychiatrists. They will receive specialist training on supporting individuals and families with mental health problems. Graduates are paid while training on the job and qualify as social workers a year earlier than normal. Those who secure a place on the scheme become mental health social workers, working with psychologists, nurses and doctors to support the everyday needs of those with mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia. The scheme, which opened last year, attracted more than 2,300 applicants for 100 places that start in July. The government funding will provide money for 200 more places by 2018. Sarah Carr, who chairs the National Service User Network, said: "Support from a social worker with the right skills and expertise can be transformational for people living with mental health problems. "The programme gives graduates the skills to empower the individuals they work with - so that they can manage their mental health, stand up for their rights, and find their own paths towards personal recovery." David Niven, a former chairman of the British Association of Social Workers, said the profession had struggled with too many vacancies and caps to local government funding in recent years, while social workers themselves had faced heavy workloads. He told BBC Radio 5 live he hoped this scheme would strengthen the profession and that it showed recognition from the government of the value of social work. Mental health minister Alistair Burt said mental health social work was highly skilled, complex work and the funding would mean thousands of people would be helped to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. "This is a great initiative to attract the brightest and best into the profession," he said. Think Ahead says one in three families include someone with mental health problems, deeply affecting their lives and their communities. Lee Brookes, 39, is a business adviser who has had mental health problems for 10 years, including bipolar disorder and an eating disorder. He says a good, understanding social worker who listens well is invaluable in coping with his illness. "My current social worker has been fantastic," he says. "She can tell from my tone of voice whether the conversation needs to carry on or whether she needs to call back later. "That works so well for me." Mr Brookes believes developing mental health social workers will help lots of people in the long run because of the support they provide. "Social workers have been the most important point of contact during my illness," he says. The Labour leader promised to ban placements that last for more than four weeks in order to end "the scandal" of unpaid work experience. He claimed the poorest young people are held back from good jobs by a system "rigged" to benefit the wealthy. But the British Chambers of Commerce warned that "blanket legislation" could put work experience at risk. Speaking at the launch of Labour's manifesto for young people in Lincoln, Mr Miliband said a Labour government would force companies to pay interns at least the minimum wage if they kept them on for more than a month. He said: "In this country, if you want a good job in a highly-prized sector, you're often asked to work for free, often for months on end, sometimes even a year. "It's a system that's rigged in favour of those who can afford it." Educational charity the Sutton Trust estimates there are around 22,000 unpaid interns in the UK at any one time, with about 31% of graduates on placements not being paid. Mr Miliband added: "It's not fair, it's not right and actually it prevents our companies drawing on all the talents our nation has to offer. "So we'll put a stop to it. We'll end the scandal of unpaid internships." He also announced plans to guarantee high-quality apprenticeships for all school-leavers who achieve the necessary grades and ensure paid starter jobs, with training, for young people unemployed for more than a year. "If you get the grades we will guarantee you an apprenticeship," he said. The Labour leader also reaffirmed his party's promise to cut tuition fees to ??6,000, and increase maintenance grants by ??400 a year to support students from low-income backgrounds. "Debt shouldn't be weighing you down, when you should be taking flight," he said. Ben Lyons, co-founder of the campaign group Intern Aware, said ending unpaid internships would make a real difference to thousands of young people entering the job market. "The current chasm between twenty-somethings who can afford to work for months on end for free and those who can't is bad for social mobility, bad for business and bad for Britain," he said. But the business lobbying group the CBI has said it is "wary" of the proposal. And executive director of the British Chambers of Commerce Adam Marshall said: "While no business should use unpaid interns as a substitute for paid staff, no government should put the prospect of work experience at risk through blanket legislation or regulation." Instead, he said government and business should work together "to clarify the definition of what an internship is, how long it should last, and whether it should be remunerated". A Conservative spokesman said employers who exploited interns should be reported under present laws and that Labour "should first explain why some of their celebrity supporters use them - not to mention many of their MPs". "Exploiting unpaid interns is clearly unacceptable," he said. The Liberal Democrats said its government ministers had conducted a review of employment status "to provide clarity on the issue" so people know if they're entitled to the minimum wage". Former winner Helen Wood compared Brian Belo, another former winner, to a rapist and murderer. Belo promptly quit the show, escaping over a wall, saying he felt "degraded". Ofcom said it had assessed the 2,024 complaints about "offensive" language, but felt they did not warrant further investigation. "We were satisfied that Channel 5 had broadcast clear and appropriate warnings about the potentially offensive content, and that it intervened in heated exchanges and situations at appropriate times," said a spokesperson. "We also took into account audience expectations for this reality format and the fact that the series was broadcast after the watershed". It is not the first time Wood's behaviour has prompted complaints over bullying. Before winning last year's series, she helped Big Brother become the most complained about show of the year, with 3,784 complaints made to Ofcom. Wood was given a formal warning by Big Brother producers after last month's row, which happened after she was brought back into the house along with 2007 winner Belo and another ex-Big Brother star, Nikki Grahame. During a game involving antagonistic questions the housemates had to answer about each other, Belo described her as having "no principles, morals or self-respect". She told him, "Brian you look like a rapist, you look like a murderer-slash-rapist." Various contestants told Wood she was "out of order", but she continued, telling Belo "you have issues" and adding: "The men in the white coats are waiting for you, Brian." Following his departure, Wood said she had called Belo a rapist "to get a reaction", and was glad he had left the house because he "made my skin crawl". Media playback is not supported on this device Wigan's George Williams darted over for the game's first try, with Marc Sneyd's penalty making it 6-2 at half-time. Matty Smith added to Wigan's lead with a early second-half penalty, only for Steve Michaels to hit back and Talanoa to pounce on Manfredi's error. Willie Isa pulled a try back for Warriors, but Hull held on to progress. The Black and Whites will face the winner of Saturday's semi-final, which will be between Warrington and Wakefield, at Wembley Stadium on 27 August. Wigan, who beat Hull 16-0 in the 2013 final, went ahead after 17 minutes as Williams threw a dummy before sneaking past Gareth Ellis. It was the only defensive lapse from either side in an uncompromising first half, dictated by the guile and boots of Hull's Sneyd and Wigan's Smith. Sneyd teed up Hull's only points of the first 40 minutes, but the Super League leaders were denied a further score by Sam Tomkins as he pulled Ellis up just short of the line - with the video referee eventually ruling out the effort. A forward pass from Oliver Gildart to send Lewis Tierney in for a second Wigan score before the break would prove key as Michaels and Talanoa went over for two unanswered tries in four second-half minutes after Smith had landed a penalty for Warriors. Hull refused to relinquish the lead that Talanoa gave them, running in unopposed to touch down after Manfredi allowed a high and seemingly innocuous high kick from Sneyd to slip though his hands. Despite losing hard-running centre Mahe Fonua following a head knock, man of the match Sneyd added to Hull's lead with his second penalty, while late pressure from Wigan yielded only Isa's score nine minutes from the end. Wigan Warriors head coach Shaun Wane told BBC Sport: "They were the best team, but I would say I'm very proud of our efforts. "People don't understand how busted we were but the effort of that group of 17 players was outstanding. "Hull were the best team, they deserve to be at Wembley and all the best to them." Hull FC head coach Lee Radford: "I'm really pleased. There wasn't a great deal between the sides. "It really was who wanted it most towards that back end and I just felt we had that little bit extra." Hull FC captain Gareth Ellis: "You sometimes think that these opportunities aren't going to come. We've been outstanding all year and we were outstanding tonight. "The effort we showed, particularly in defence by our try line, was outstanding. Wigan are a top side and we had to do it tough tonight." Wigan Warriors: Tomkins; Tierney, Gildart, Sarginson, Manfredi; Williams, Smith; Flower, Powell, Sutton, Isa, Bateman, O'Loughlin. Interchanges: Crosby, Mossop, Tautai, Bretherton. Hull FC: Shaul; Michaels, Fonua, Yeaman, Talanoa; Tuimavave, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Minichiello, Manu, Ellis. Interchanges: Green, Thompson, Pritchard, Washbrook. Referee: Ben Thaler Wilshere, 24, has only recently returned to training having not played this season because of a broken leg. "I've spoken to him. It looks to be taken out of proportion a little bit. These are matters we like to keep internal," said Wenger. "There was no training session the next day. I had a day off. You can accept players go out." England midfielder Wilshere will play in an under-21s game on Friday as he steps up his recovery after breaking his left leg in August 2015. "What is positive is that he works very, very hard," added Wenger. "The news looks quite good. I think he will have a good test on Friday." Wilshere's career has been plagued by leg and ankle problems since he first sustained a stress fracture during pre-season in 2011, which left him sidelined for 15 months. He had two operations last season after injuring his left ankle against Manchester United in November 2014. England manager Roy Hodgson has not ruled Wilshere out of his squad for Euro 2016 but Wenger says he is "a bit cautious" about the player's return to fitness "because of his history". "At the moment I believe he's a real football brain, Jack Wilshere. He loves football," said the Frenchman. "He's very serious, very dedicated. The only thing that could stop him from having the career he can make is injuries. "He had the history of his injuries. It's been bad recently. But I hope he can get rid of that and make the career he deserves." Wenger praised the impact Alex Iwobi, 19, has had since breaking into the first team and revealed talks over a new deal with the forward are under way. Iwobi has scored two goals in his last two Premier League games. "We are discussing it at the moment, to extend it," said the Gunners boss. "He is a real Arsenal person because he's been here since the age of eight. "He has three years left at the end of the season but we want to keep him here longer." Iwobi plays for Nigeria and Wenger added: "There's a possibility he will go to the Olympic Games and the African Nations Cup and travel a bit more. We have to respect his choice." Arsenal, who are 11 points behind top-flight leaders Leicester with a game in hand, could have midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini back after injury to face West Ham on Saturday. Ramsey has been out with a thigh problem, while Flamini was out with a hamstring problem. "As long as mathematically it's possible, there's a strong possibility [of catching Leicester]," said Wenger. "You look at the difficulty of the Premier League, they have been remarkably consistent, but every game is very, very tight, so that can go the other way as well." Christopher Hanmer, who taught at Garth County Primary School at Trevor, near Llangollen, allowed Year 5 and 6 pupils to change math test answers in 2013. He also submitted inflated reading results to the Welsh government, an Education Workforce Council hearing was told on Tuesday in Flintshire. The panel said the unprofessional conduct was "cheating". The actions came to light in 2014 when the school's acting head teacher compared results from 2014 and the higher marks for tests in 2013. The EWC committee, sitting at Ewloe, heard Mr Hanmer allowed pupils to correct their own answers to the numeracy tests. The panel also heard eight pupils sitting the national literacy tests had their marks increased - one pupil by ten points. Mr Hanmer told the hearing he could not understand how the inflated literacy scores came to be presented to the Welsh government, which sets national reading and maths tests for all school pupils in Wales at key educational stages. But the EWC panel's chairman, Martin Jones, said the teacher had inflated literacy scores to "reflect better on himself". "This was cheating. It's a very bad example for a teacher to set. He gave the pupils an unfair advantage over others," he said. "Integrity in the exam process is very important and once it is undermined it is very difficult to rebuild." The teacher, who had already been suspended from his post, said he had been under great stress at the time because a family member had died and another was unwell, but he could not explain why he had falsified the results. Mr Hanmer was told he would be able to appeal against being removed from the teaching register in five years' time.

Speaking to Forces TV and BFBS Radio, he praised their "professionalism" and "cultural sensitivity". He spoke of his admiration for those who face "great danger" to protect the country. Almost 23,000 military personnel have been stationed or deployed abroad over Christmas. There are almost 14,000 across Europe - including just over 3,000 in Cyprus - 1,170 across North Africa and the Middle East and about 1,000 in the Falklands. About 870 are involved in the campaign to counter so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The Prince of Wales said service personnel would face many tasks over the festive period, some of which would "put our service people in great danger as they carry out their challenging duties". He said: "I am delighted to have this opportunity to send you all a Christmas message, for while many of the current news headlines around the world appear rather grim, they have reminded us all of the vital importance of the armed forces. "Sometimes it would appear that there is no real threat facing Britain and that therefore defence can perhaps seem somewhat irrelevant. "However, the extent of current global deployments of the UK's armed forces only goes to highlight the continued, essential role of the armed forces in today's society." The England skipper scored only 22 as England closed the fourth day of the second Test against India at Lord's on 105-4, chasing 319 to win. "Alastair is our leader, our captain and he's got the full backing of our dressing room," said Farbrace. "You saw how the people in the ground genuinely wanted him to get runs. People are behind him." Farbrace, speaking to BBC Sport, added: "We want him to carry on as our captain - he's a good man, a good captain and he's getting better with every game." On a wearing fourth day pitch on Sunday, Cook lasted 93 balls of mostly dogged defence before he was tempted into playing at a ball from Ishant Sharma and edged to wicketkeeper Mahendra Dhoni. It extended the 29-year-old's run without a century to 27 innings and left England staring at a defeat which would extend their winless run to 10 Tests. However, Farbrace retains hope that England can still win, if unbeaten batsmen Joe Root (14) and Moeen Ali (15) can lay a foundation for strokemakers like Matt Prior, Ben Stokes and Liam Plunkett. "We've got two people at the crease who are fighters, want to get stuck in and value their wickets," said Farbrace, who drew parallels to the final day of the second Test against Sri Lanka when England came within two balls of saving the match after beginning on 57-5. "We've also got people to come in who can strike the ball, so we've got to believe. After all, when we turned up at Headingley on that fifth day not many people would have given us a chance of still batting at 7pm. "We've done it once and there's no reason why we can't do it again." Ravindra Jadeja, who scored a quickfire 68 in India's second innings and got the wicket of Sam Robson on a pitch showing considerable signs of turn, is looking for a fast finish to the match on Monday morning. "We are in a good position, but we need to get them out early tomorrow," he told Sky Sports. "We don't want to give them runs. "We have to put them under pressure." Media playback is not supported on this device The Team Sky co-captain was second as the day started, but is now more than five minutes behind the leader, Movistar's Nairo Quintana. A stationary police motorcyclist caused a crash that brought down riders. "How can that still happen? The sport is supposed to be professional," Thomas told BBC Radio Wales. "It's one of the biggest races of the year. Something totally out of riders' control can basically lose you the race, which is devastating, really." Thomas will undergo a precautionary X-ray during Monday's rest day and told reporters after the race that his shoulder had "popped out" following the crash. He says the sort of incident that befell him and others in the race on stage nine would not have been tolerated in another sport, such as tennis. "You'd never see that in Wimbledon, someone just walking up to (Andy Murray) as he's about to make a back-hand or whatever and messes up the point and ends up losing the match," he added. "It's just crazy how it can happen still and it's really frustrating, but there's not a lot I can do now." Thomas remains hopeful of making up ground on the leaders by the finish on 28 May, adding: "The win will be super hard to get now. "Losing five minutes in a day is a massive loss, but I think a top 10, a top five or even a podium [is achievable]. You've just got to keep fighting and keep your head up. "That's all I can do, really." 1. Nairo Quintana (Col/Movistar) 3hrs 44mins 51secs 2. Thibaut Pinot (Fra/FDJ)+24secs 3. Tom Dumoulin (Ned/Sunweb) same time 4. Bauke Mollema (Neds/Trek) +41secs 5.

He was taken to a south London police station and officers searched a property in east London. He was bailed pending further enquiries until early June, Scotland Yard said. Police said they received a report on Wednesday from a concerned mother who said her daughter and her best friend had admitted taking the drug. Both had lied to their parents about staying at each other's houses, and were found "showing abnormal symptoms" on their return. Officers have posted a message on Facebook warning people to be vigilant. The message from Greater Manchester Police's north division reads: "We are currently working with the parents and the school liaison officer to obtain intelligence about who sold the ecstasy to the young teenagers. "Please can all parents be aware if their child is acting suspicious." She will receive the award at the TV Baftas ceremony which takes place later this month. Perhaps best known for playing champagne-sipping Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous, Lumley has had one of the most varied careers in British entertainment. After starting out as a model she was propelled to fame in the 1970s as Purdey in The New Avengers. The Fellowship is, quite simply, the academy's highest honour. Previous recipients include Michael Palin, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Sir David Attenborough and Julie Walters. Few would dispute that Lumley is a deserving name to be added to that list. Here are just a few of the times she's been absolutely fabulous: When you think of Leonardo DiCaprio's film The Wolf of Wall Street, a number of things come to mind. Alcohol, drug use, crime, partying, sex and swearing were all pretty prevalent in the 2013 movie about stockbrokers living a life of excess. Exactly the sort of place, then, that you'd expect Joanna Lumley to crop up. Right? Well, no. But one of the things we love about Lumley is her tendency to appear in totally unexpected places playing totally unexpected roles. In The Wolf of Wall Street she plays Aunt Emma, who DiCaprio's character uses to open a Swiss bank account to hide his money. The two also had serious chemistry on screen, and Lumley later said their kiss took 27 takes to get right. We're sure each one of those takes were definitely definitely necessary, of course. When the TV adaptation of David Walliams's children's novels Gangsta Granny was commissioned, there was only one woman who could play the title role. That's right, Julia McKenzie. In one scene in the 2013 comedy drama, the Gangsta Granny and her grandson Ben are seen attempting to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London. As you do. But once inside the White Tower, they come face to face with Queen Elizabeth II, played by our very own queen of the screen, Joanna Lumley. She does the decent thing and pardons the pair, with a message that it's good to see young people caring for the elderly. Quite right. This must have been quite the meeting of minds. This 2014 documentary saw will.i.am give Lumley a look around his recording studio, play her some songs, invite her to dinner and give her a tour of his home - complete with a toilet with an automatic lid. Amazing. However, the programme didn't please everyone. Jake Wallis Simons in The Telegraph wrote: "It came across like the meeting of a slightly nonplussed American musician and a fawning British acolyte. Which was nothing short of a national embarrassment." It seems even national treasures aren't above the occasional bit of criticism. Last year Lumley and Jennifer Saunders were interviewed on BBC Radio 4's Today programme about the Ab Fab film. Then the pair joined sports host Rob Bonnet to read out that day's racing tips. The best moment, however, came when the item had concluded, and she told the presenter he "had very beautiful green eyes" with her trademark mischievous grin. "[Rob] is going to be insufferable forever more, do you realise what you've done to the programme?" joked co-host Mishal Husain. To be fair, we'd never shut up either if Lumley paid us such a classy compliment. With all the current debate about whether Peter Capaldi's Doctor should regenerate into a woman, it's worth remembering that Joanna Lumley got there first. In 1999, she starred in a special edition of Doctor Who for Comic Relief. The Curse of Fatal Death saw the Time Lord played by a host of famous faces including Rowan Atkinson, Jim Broadbent, Richard E Grant and Hugh Grant. The final regeneration saw the Doctor turn into a female version played by Lumley. The script was written by Steven Moffat, who would go on to run the show after it was rebooted by Russell T Davies in 2005. The list of charities and campaigns Lumley has been involved with is so long, we couldn't possibly mention everything she's been involved with in such a small space. But just a few examples include her work for human rights organisation Survival International and becoming a patron of charities such as Trust in Children and Tree Aid, which fights poverty in Africa. She also isn't afraid to get involved in politics, campaigning for a new garden bridge over the Thames in London and helping to secure the rights of Gurkhas who retired in 1997 to to settle in the UK. Whatever cause she turns to next, we're pretty sure they'll be glad to have her in their corner. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Stephanie In 2014, Kent was named as among the worst-affected areas for patients being sent away for treatment. Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership's new chief executive Helen Greatorex said fast changes were vital. She said the county had the expertise, teams and facilities to keep people closer to home. Last year, Margate patient, Daniel Gillan, described being first to sent to Somerset and then Manchester, journeys of 226 and 281 miles. He said the distance meant neither family nor friends could visit him and he didn't know where he was - he only knew he was "a long, long way from home" because it took so long to get there. Ms Greatorex said: "It's an absolute passion of mine that we don't send people out of county unless it's an absolutely exceptional case. "We have the expertise, the teams, and the facilities to look after them locally and we ought to keep people where they belong, as close to home as possible." She added: "As a patient, I don't want to be bumped round the system, I don't want to have to think about how I get in and where I need to go. "I want to just make one contact and then for it to happen. That's what the whole system is now focusing on doing. How important is it to do it quickly? It's vital, really vital, but we have to do it in a sustainable way." Ms Greatorex said the trust would look at each patient currently out-of-area to make sure there was a plan for their return to the right place, which might be home or a local ward. She said the trust would open 16 new beds this autumn to provide extra capacity but the trust was clear patients wanted to be in hospital for as little time as possible. She said demand had increased but there were smarter ways to work including providing a single point of contact, working more closely with acute trusts and the wider NHS, and providing strong, patient-centred community teams. Powers to levy a land transaction tax to replace stamp duty and a landfill disposals tax take effect in 2018. The assembly's finance committee said it was "disappointed" by the situation and called for a "phased approach". It means HMRC could continue collecting the devolved taxes until councils or another body was judged to be ready. The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) told the committee that councils were "best placed" to collect and manage devolved taxes. However, it warned that the "degree of uncertainty" over the process of mergers and boundary changes would make it "extremely difficult ... to commit to new responsibilities from 2018". Publishing a report on Thursday, committee chairwoman Jocelyn Davies said it could not take a "firm view" on who should collect Welsh taxes because of a lack of detailed costings. She added: "We hope the expertise of local government will be utilised in the coming years to ensure an integrated tax system is developed in Wales." The Welsh government said a Tax Collection and Management Bill would be published before the summer and more information on costings would be provided. Lens, 28, joins up with manager Dick Advocaat for a fourth time after spells at AZ Alkmaar, PSV Eindhoven and Sunderland. The Dutchman joined Sunderland from Dynamo Kiev for £8m just over 12 months ago, but made only 14 Premier League starts for the club. Lens scored three league goals for the Black Cats. He tweeted that he had "known ups and downs with Sunderland," but was "proud" to have played on Wearside. The forward added: "Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have taken the decision to be loaned for the remainder of the current season. 12 May 2016 Last updated at 08:24 BST Vincent Thurkettle found it four years ago but has only just revealed details. The hunk of gold weighs 97g, the size of a small chicken egg! The area where it was found has been searched again in case there's any more gold, because it's thought it was part of a 120 million pound collection which sank in 1859. Vincent can't keep the gold though as it has to be put on show in a museum, but he may get a 'finder's fee.' Media playback is not supported on this device After Tuesday's session, boss Michael O'Neill said he had "no concerns" about Lafferty's fitness for Sunday's Euro 2016 opener against Poland. However, Lafferty, 28, was unable to take part in Wednesday's training. As his team-mates trained Saint-Georges-de-Reneins, Lafferty did a workout on an exercise bike. Norwich striker Lafferty pulled up in Tuesday morning's training session after appearing to stretch his groin, but O'Neill said it was "just a little twist". "It was precautionary to take him out of training. We're just being careful," added the Northern Ireland on Tuesday. "After examination by the doctor, he feels good. We're more concerned about the thunder and lightning, to be honest." Media playback is not supported on this device Lafferty was the only member of the Northern Ireland squad to miss training on Wednesday morning as Craig Cathcart and Gareth McAuley took part in the session after not being involved on Tuesday. The Norwich striker's seven goals were crucial to Northern Ireland's surprise qualification for the finals in France. The county Fermanagh man appeared to be in some pain after reaching to control a ball during Tuesday's session. He was directed into an ice bath on the side of the pitch at Northern Ireland's training base at Saint-Georges-de-Reneins near Lyon, and afterwards walked gingerly to the changing rooms. Closures have taken place after sewage bacteria, thought to be E. coli, was found in Slapton, Taw, Torridge and Jersey, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said. Shellfish beds in Weymouth in Dorset and Porlock in Somerset have now been closed. Five sites in Cornwall were closed on Thursday. The Shellfish Association of Great Britain has contested the move, claiming the test results were "inconceivable". The FSA said: "We are monitoring the situation by taking further samples but until we have evidence to the contrary the beds must remain closed to protect public health." 5 January 2017 Last updated at 17:26 GMT In 2014, China's government said they were working hard to reduce the amount of pollution in the air. But for big cities like Beijing, air pollution levels can still be high for most of the year. People have been saying this week's smog is the worst case ever, and it's been causing all sorts of problems. Find out what it's like for one child, Sophie, living in Beijing. Michael John Fry, 57, of Aigburth Vale, Liverpool pleaded guilty to committing eight offences over an eight-year period ending 1 January 2014. What began as an administrative failing became "dishonesty" and "an enormous breach of trust", Judge Elizabeth Nicholls told Liverpool Crown Court. Fry was sentenced to 20 months in jail, suspended for two years. Fry misled Liverpool diocese about the number of funerals which he had conducted and illegally kept fees from 1,250 parochial funerals. He spent the money on alcohol, books, and travel, the court heard. Passing sentence, the judge said "the good you have done in the community outweighs the harm". She said Fry was a caring and compassionate individual who continued to volunteer with the homeless. The sums he stole began with £1,751 between December 2005 and January 2007, increasing to £20,049 between December 2011 and January 2013. He should have sent any fees above his £22,000 annual stipend to the diocese. Fry's defence lawyer, Martine Snowdon, said the theft was born out of failure to act rather than a scheme devised by him. Nevertheless, she told the court her client was "deeply remorseful" about failing his peers and society. Liverpool diocese was originally relaxed about Fry's accounts "given the expectation of honesty and integrity of one of their own", the court was told. The court heard the money stolen by Fry could have funded four full-time clergy posts. The Archdeacon of Liverpool, Venerable Ricky Panter, said the "scale of the fraud is staggering" but the church is "pleased" he has been given a suspended sentence. He said he was "immensely sad and felt let down" but "knows Michael and the demons he has fought against", adding: "I'm looking for him to resume some kind of ministry in the future." Fry was a member of the St Luke in the City Team, which included three parish churches - St Michael's on Upper Pitt Street, St Bride's on Percy Street and St Dunstan's on Earle Road. He resigned from his post early in 2014. Ex-Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti is shadow attorney general and Keir Starmer, who left the team in June amid a wave of resignations, returns as shadow Brexit secretary. But Dame Rosie Winterton, who had tried to negotiate between Mr Corbyn and many of his MPs, is out as chief whip. Mr Corbyn's critics have suggested the reshuffle will fail to unify the party. One senior figure said the reshuffle so far looked "vengeful and cack-handed", and Middlesbrough South MP Tom Blenkinsop accused Mr Corbyn of "seeking submission not unity". Another MP, Neil Coyle, told BBC Radio 5 live that Dame Rosie's work during a difficult period for Labour had been "underestimated". He said that, despite everything, "the parliamentary votes have been fairly coherent and that's a direct result of someone who is a unifying figure - and that's Rosie as chief whip." It is understood that some Labour MPs who were thinking about returning to the front bench are now reconsidering. But Mr Corbyn's team denied the reshuffle was divisive, saying other MPs who resigned will be returning to shadow cabinet roles later. A Labour spokesman said: "Jeremy has today spoken to a number of colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party and will continue to do so throughout the day. He has begun the process of appointing a new frontbench team." Jo Stevens, who has been brought in as the new shadow Welsh secretary, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that she thought Mr Corbyn had reached out to unify the party. "I was one of the senior people in Owen Smith's leadership campaign and he's offered me a place on the shadow cabinet," she said. "The Labour Party is a collective and we're there to hold the government to account," she added. "That's why I stayed in my post in the summer and accepted the job yesterday." Ms Stevens said there would be opportunities on "plenty of issues" to unite the party against the Tories. Mr Corbyn had promised to unite his party following his re-election as leader last month. Some posts have been vacant since the resignations in the aftermath of June's EU referendum in protest at his leadership. Former Director of Public Prosecutions Mr Starmer stood down from his shadow Home Office minister post in June. He will now join shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner, new shadow economic secretary Jonathan Reynolds and shadow chancellor John McDonnell on Labour's "shadow Brexit team". As well as moving Ms Abbott from shadow health secretary and Ms Stevens, Sarah Champion has been made shadow women and equalities minister. Announcing the changes to his top team, Mr Corbyn leader said in a statement: "I am delighted to confirm the appointments of four extremely talented women to our shadow cabinet. "These appointments mean, for the first time ever, two out of the three traditional 'great offices of state' will be shadowed by women." He added that his front bench would include 10 Labour MPs from the north of England and five black or ethnic minority MPs. Ms Abbott said of her new role: "I am honoured to serve. My first job when I left university was as a graduate trainee in the Home Office, so my career has come full circle." The position was vacated by Andy Burnham who quit to run in the Greater Manchester mayoral election. By Iain Watson, political correspondent Jeremy Corbyn's reshuffle sees big promotions for two women seen as his allies - Diane Abbott and Shami Chakrabarti, a year after he was criticised for not putting women in top shadow cabinet roles. But the real significance is not who is in - it is who is out. The very popular chief whip, Rosie Winterton, has been sacked. She was seen as someone, behind the scenes, who stood up for MPs' interests against the party leader- and who had been working hard to broker a compromise on shadow cabinet elections. She believed that many more MPs might return to the frontbench if they were answerable to colleagues and not just to the leader. So many Labour MPs tonight are expressing disappointment that she has gone. And it is interesting that Clive Lewis, the shadow defence secretary who, unlike Jeremy Corbyn, saw no pressing need to challenge Trident renewal, has been shifted to become shadow business secretary. One senior party figure has called the reshuffle "cack handed and vindictive". Unity has not yet broken out in the Labour Party. Conservative MP Luke Hall said Ms Abbott's appointment showed Labour had "lost touch with ordinary working-class people". He said: "By appointing a shadow home secretary who disagrees with the public, and her own party, about the need to control our own borders, Labour have abandoned the centre ground." Baroness Chakrabarti, who was recently made a Labour peer, joins the shadow cabinet for the first time. Accepting the shadow cabinet role, she said it was "an enormous privilege", and added: "I hope to follow in a great tradition of law officers on both sides of the aisle who have defended rights, freedoms and the rule of law." Mr Corbyn has also created a new position, shadow minister for black and minority ethnic communities, and appointed Dawn Butler to the role. New opposition chief whip Nick Brown, who served in the same role under both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, said he hoped to "bring experience" and "play a constructive role" in providing the "strongest possible opposition" to the Conservative government. Dame Rosie, who was opposition chief whip since 2010, said it had been an "honour" to do the job and thanked the whips and the Parliamentary Labour Party for their support. Mr Corbyn paid tribute to her "six years' exceptional service" and said she had played "an outstanding role in her support for me as leader and for the Labour Party as a whole". But the Opposition Whips' office are said to be "deeply saddened" by her departure. BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said he understood Dame Rosie did not leave her job voluntarily, and that there was "some significance" to her removal. She had been trying to get a deal agreed on shadow cabinet elections and was seen as a "bulwark against attempts to deselect MPs that disagreed with Mr Corbyn". Several prominent Labour figures took to Twitter to thank Dame Rosie for her work, including former leader Ed Miliband and former deputy leader Harriet Harman. A number of MPs unhappy with Mr Corbyn's leadership have said they could not serve in his shadow cabinet, including his former challenger Owen Smith. Others are said to be considering serving under the leader if he reinstates elections to the shadow cabinet, which were axed by former leader Ed Miliband in 2011. A spokesman for Mr Corbyn has told the BBC that there will be no shadow cabinet elections before November. Scott Falconer, 20, Bruce Owens, 19, and Cameron Henry, 17, caused £40,000 of damage at the city cemetery between 15 and 17 July 2011. They were caught after police received pictures showing the vandals at work. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, all three men were ordered to carry out 126 hours of unpaid work. Passing sentence, Sheriff Alayne Swanson branded the damage they caused in the Necropolis "absolutely disgusting". At an earlier hearing, Falconer, from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, and Henry from Carluke, South Lanarkshire, pleaded guilty to maliciously spray painting racist remarks and slogans on various headstones. Owens, from Cranhill, Glasgow, admitted the same offence as well as kicking over and damaging headstones. The court heard how two gardeners discovered the damage at the cemetery on 17 July 2011. Swastikas were sprayed on some headstones, along with slogans such as "white power", "dubba", and "punks dead ha". Some headstones had been kicked over and damaged and there was also smashed glass from broken bottles. The court was told that on 27 July police received an anonymous email with photographs showing people at the Necropolis that linked them to the case. Pictures were circulated and Owens was identified as one of the people in the photographs. Further investigations through Facebook identified Henry as one of the accused and subsequently Falconer. Timothy Tyrone Foster was convicted of molesting and killing a white 79-year-old retired schoolteacher in 1987. But the court on Thursday overturned his conviction after ruling that the prosecution had broken the law. Foster may now face a retrial, 29 years after his death sentence. A law introduced in 1986 made it illegal in the US to pick jurors based on the colour of their skin. But the following year all four black members of the potential jury pool in Foster's case were struck from the pool by prosecutors, leaving an all-white jury. Non race-related reasons were given for striking the black members of the pool, but prosecution notes released to Foster's lawyers in 2006 revealed racial motivations, the Supreme Court said. The notes show that the prosecution marked the names of black prospective jurors with a "B", highlighted them in green, and circled the word "black" on their juror questionnaires, Reuters news agency reported. According to Foster's lawyer, Stephen Bright, one handwritten note titled "Definite Nos" listed six people, of whom five were the remaining black prospective jurors, the Associated Press reported. The sixth was a white woman who made clear she would never impose the death penalty, Mr Bright said. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the notes "plainly belie the state's claim that it exercised its strikes in a 'colour blind' manner". The eight justices of the Court voted 7-1 in Foster's favour. The sole dissenter was Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative and the only black member of the court. Foster, who was 18 at the time of the murder, was accused of breaking into the home of Queen Madge White, breaking her jaw, sexually molesting her and then strangling her, before stealing items from her house. It means the BBC could lose coverage of the Games in the UK from 2022, although Eurosport's parent company Discovery may lease back some of the rights. The European rights are currently split up, country by country. The deal will be effective for most of Europe from 2018, and in France and the UK from 2022. Discovery and Eurosport confirmed they will develop a new Olympic TV Channel across Europe. Media watchdog Ofcom lists the Olympics as a category A event, which must have live coverage made available to free-to-air channels. In a statement, Discovery said it was committed to broadcasting a minimum of 200 hours of the Olympic Games and 100 hours of the Olympic Winter Games on free-to-air television, during the games period. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, said: "The revenue generated from this long-term partnership will be redistributed by the IOC across the Olympic Movement to support the development of sport around the world." The BBC had in previous years been awarded the rights as part of a deal between the IOC and a group of public broadcasters across Europe. If the BBC wants to broadcast the Olympics in future it will now have to negotiate with a rival broadcaster, Discovery. The BBC said the Olympic Games remain "a priority" and that it has already secured the TV, radio and online rights to the next three Games in 2016, 2018 and 2020. It will be "seeking further discussions with Discovery about the UK free-to-air rights to the 2022 and 2024 Olympic Games in due course". "More than 90% of the UK population watched the BBC's coverage of London 2012 and it remains one of the most popular free-to-air, sporting events for UK viewers," the BBC said. "It is not unprecedented for sports rights to be sold on a pan-territory basis, and the BBC has acquired other sports rights via sub-licensing deals with either agencies or broadcasters," it added. In a conference call with the BBC, Mr Bach, said: "Public broadcasters have played a significant role in spreading the Games and broadcasting the Games... (but) Eurosport has contributed a lot to this in the past. "In Great Britain, BBC has the rights to 2020. There is ample time before 2022 and 2024 to have discussions with Discovery about their cooperation. This deal at the moment is not excluding anyone, but it is showing a new broader approach to Olympic broadcasting." The first Olympics to be broadcast on the BBC came from London in 1948. Since then, it has broadcast the Games continuously since Rome 1960. The 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and the 2018 Winter Olympics will be Pyeongchang, South Korea, while 2020's event will take place in Tokyo, Japan. The host city for the 2022 Winter Olympics will be announced at the end of July. Labour's Anne McTaggart has support from MSPs of all parties for her bill. The current "opt-in" system requires a proactive choice by an individual to register to become an organ donor on their death. The Scottish government said it would examine the bill to see if a "convincing case" could be made for a move to an opt-out system. The new legislation would mean people would have to actively opt out or else their name would be added to the NHS Organ Donation Register. Under the terms of the "soft opt-out" system, families of deceased patients would be given a say on donation if they could confirm their relative had made an unrecorded objection during their lifetime. Ms McTaggart, who introduced the bill, cited evidence which said that three people died every day across the UK waiting for a transplant. She claimed her legislation could save lives. "That's what the bill is about. It's about making more organs available to people who need them, ultimately," she said. According to the government, there has been a 63% increase in the number of transplants carried out on Scottish patients since 2007. Maureen Watt, minister for public health, said: "There is currently no consensus amongst experts as to whether this would make a significant difference and the international evidence is not clear. "However the Scottish government welcomes any debate in relation to the important issues of organ donation and transplantation." Ms Watt added: "In Scotland we lead the UK in increasing donation and transplantation numbers. "The transplant waiting list is now at its lowest level to date. In addition, 41% of Scots are signed up to the NHS Organ Donor Register - the highest percentage of any of the four UK countries." Ms McTaggart hosted an event at Parliament to mark the formal introduction of the bill, which was attended by representatives of a number of medical organisations including the British Medical Association (BMA), the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Scottish Kidney Federation, as well as transplant recipients and their families. Ms McTaggart said she was "delighted" with the event, and the introduction of the bill. "There's still a long way to go in the legislative process but I'm confident that the overwhelming evidence in favour of my proposals will ensure the success of my bill," she said. Scottish TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, who had previously offered support, reiterated her backing for the bill via a video message where she stated that being an organ donor was a "unique opportunity for people to leave behind an amazing gift." The BMA welcomed the publication of the bill. In a statement, Dr Sue Robertson, a member of the BMA's Scottish Council and a renal physician, said: "The whole transplant community works tremendously hard to increase the levels of organ donation with significant support from the Scottish government, but there are still people in Scotland waiting for an organ transplant. "We believe that more can be done and more lives can be saved and this bill represents a positive step towards that goal," she added. The British Heart Foundation also backs the bill. None of the bombs detonated in January 1966, but three fell around Palomares and a fourth was found on the sea bed. Highly toxic plutonium was spread over a 200-hectare (490-acre) area. On a visit to Madrid, Secretary of State John Kerry agreed to finalise a deal on disposing of contaminated soil. Under the agreement in principle, signed by Mr Kerry and Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, the US will remove the soil at Palomares to a site in the US. Spanish media said the soil would be transported to a site in Nevada. The deal comes a few months before the 50th anniversary of the crash, one of the most serious nuclear incidents of the Cold War. An earlier consignment of contaminated soil was shipped to a site in South Carolina shortly after the accident and buried in deep trenches. But further analysis of soil in the area has been carried out in recent years, and the health of residents in the Palomares area is still being monitored. "I looked up and saw this huge ball of fire, falling through the sky" - Spain waits for US to finish nuclear clean-up Simon Murray shot Dundee United ahead on 50 minutes, racing clear and slotting a shot under Robbie Thomson. Soon after, Murray smacked the post with a looping shot, while Thomson did well to keep out a Tony Andreu effort. Luke Leahy nodded in a James Craigen free-kick and the Bairns almost snatched victory when Scott Shepherd hit the post from close range. The top four all drew, with Hibs and Morton sharing the same scoreline at Cappielow. The Greenock side can overtake the Bairns if they win their game at hand against local rivals St Mirren on Tuesday, while United can close to within a point of Falkirk if they beat Dunfermline on the same evening. The first half at Tannadice was a tepid affair, with very little goalmouth action. However, United were roused by Murray's smart break and finish and they will rue a series of missed chances. Leahy's header arrived on 83 minutes, with Peter Houston's side then going on to look the likelier side in the closing stages. Match ends, Dundee United 1, Falkirk 1.

Mr Assange sought refuge at the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over sex assault allegations. On Friday, there was a U-turn from Swedish prosecutors who offered to travel to London to interview him. Sympathisers with placards are expected to gather outside the embassy later. Mr Assange sought asylum at the Ecuadorean Embassy on 19 June 2012 shortly after the supreme court rejected his final appeal against extradition. He is wanted for questioning relating to one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation, and one count of rape against two women in 2010. Mr Assange denies the allegations and has said they are part of a smear campaign against him. He argues that if he is sent to Sweden, he could then be extradited to the US where he fears he will face the death penalty for publishing leaked US diplomatic cables. For 1,000 days he has remained in a small room with a bed, sun lamp, computer, shower, treadmill and cooking facilities, the BBC's Jon Ironmonger said. Last month, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe admitted the total cost of guarding the Embassy had exceeded £10 million. The new owners have undertaken a review and feel there are "areas of duplication" and are, so far, unable to find alternative roles for 14 people. Concerns about the future of Dee Valley's 166 workers were raised before February's takeover. Severn Trent are "in consultation" with workers over possible redundancies. North Wales AMs Mark Isherwood and Llyr Gruffydd have highlighted fears about the future of the employees of Dee Valley, which has 230,000 customers across the Wrexham and Chester areas. Before the takeover, First Minister Carwyn Jones had said he would "not support any change that would mean the loss of Welsh jobs". But Severn Trent have announced possible job losses, which are mainly "support roles", two months since the High Court ruled they could take over Dee Valley Water. "While the vast majority of employees remain unaffected, it's inevitable that there are areas of duplication when you bring two businesses together," continued the Severn Trent statement. "We're currently in a consultation period. There are 14 people we've not been able to find alternative roles for so far but we continue to work with them during this period. "If they're left without a role at the end of this time we'll then offer outplacement support, as well as contacting local employers and local government on their behalf." Mr Isherwood, Conservative AM for north Wales, recently attended a meeting of the Consumer Council for Water Wales where he sought assurances Dee Valley customers and staff would not be adversely affected by the takeover. Afterwards, he said: "They told us that they wanted to give everyone in the team at Dee Valley Water at least three options, that they had spoken to them on an individual basis and that just 14 out of 166 team members only had the option of voluntary redundancy. "They told me team members still have a month before they have to come back with their decisions and that this information would then be shared with us. "We were told that they remain committed to Dee Valley's Wrexham and Chester sites." Mr Gruffydd, Plaid Cymru AM for north Wales, has written to Severn Trent asking whether more Dee Valley workers will face redundancy, whether Severn Trent workers are at risk of redundancy and how many staff at their Rhostyllen call centre will face redundancy next year. "The takeover clearly meant that jobs would be lost at Dee Valley, which is why I was opposed to the proposal," he said. "This process has begun and my priority now is to ensure that workers in Wrexham don't find themselves at a disadvantage when competing for jobs within the company." The Manual for the Non-sexist Use of Language is being distributed to government offices across Mexico. It seeks to reduce comments that enforce gender stereotypes, as well as the default use of the masculine form in the Spanish language. The manual was written by a body that tackles violence against women. In its introduction, the manual describes itself as "a tool to familiarize federal public workers with the use of non-sexist strategies in the Spanish language". It discourages the use of phrases such as: "If you want to work, why did you have children," and: "You are prettier when you keep quiet". It also advises against referring to women as possessions, as in phrases such as "Pedro's woman". The manual says workers should avoiding using the masculine form in the Spanish language when it is not appropriate. "It is very common for us to use the masculine without knowing the gender of the people we are referring to or - even more incoherently - to use masculine adjectives or professional titles even when we know we are talking about a woman," it explains. The document was drawn up by the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women, Conavim. On International Women's Day on 8 March the Mexican government acknowledged that "insults and harassment" of women remained a problem. On the same day, women's groups protested against an increase in murders of women because of their gender, a phenomenon known in Mexico as femicide. They were travelling to work at the airport on Saturday morning when two attackers riding a motorcycle opened fire on their minivan, said Samim Akhalwak, a spokesperson for the Kandahar governor. The five women were killed, as well as their driver. The women were in charge of searching female travellers at the airport. Ahmadullah Faizi, the airport's director, said the women had been concerned about their security after receiving death threats from people who disapproved of their career. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but women in Afghanistan are often targeted by the Taliban. Mr Faizi said an investigation was under way but no arrests had been made. According to the Afghan attorney general's office, there were more than 3,700 cases of violence against women in the first eight months of 2016, and 5,000 cases in 2015. The judge told Sara Ege, 33, she subjected Yaseen Ege to prolonged cruelty and a ferocious beating at home in Pontcanna, Cardiff, in July 2010. She also set fire to his body, and was convicted after a five-week trial. Ege collapsed as the sentence was read out at Cardiff Crown Court and had to be helped from the dock. She was also found guilty of perverting the course of justice and given a four-year sentence for that crime. Her husband Yousuf Ege, a taxi driver, was cleared of allowing the death of a child by failing to protect him. Sara Ege had pleaded not guilty to murder and claimed her husband was responsible for Yaseen's death. Mr Justice Wyn Williams said: "I am satisfied that it was his failure to learn the Koran that day that resulted in the beating that caused his death." He continued: "On the day of Yaseen's death you had kept him home from school so he could devote himself to his study of the Koran. "He was memorising passages but on that day Yaseen must have failed in some way and it was that which was a trigger for the beating. "You killed your own son. At the time of the killing he was particularly vulnerable because of his age and because of his relative physical frailty. "In killing your son you abused a precious relationship of trust which does and should exist between a parent and a child." After the sentencing, a serious case review was published, making seven recommendations for improvements, and said domestic violence involving the family had first been reported in 2003, and again in 2007. But the review said while lessons could be learned, Yaseen's death could not have been predicted. The judge said she had beaten him for three months leading up to his death, adding: "The cause of the beating was your unreasonable view that he wasn't learning passages quickly enough. "The violence Yaseen suffered was not confined to the day of his death. "For three months you beat him often with a wooden pestle and I'm confident these beatings left him in a significant amount of pain. "This prolonged cruelty culminated on the day of his death in what was a savage attack. You then set fire to his body in an attempt to evade responsibility for what you had done. "I accept you were a devoted and caring mum. Except for the obsession with Yaseen learning you did many fine things to bring him up as a young boy." After the sentencing, Yaseen's father, Yousuf Ege, paid tribute to his son. "My memories of my son are that he was a beautiful little boy, a very happy boy who was decent and polite," he said. "It is hard for me now to describe my loving feelings for my son. "He was loved by all who had known him due to his beautiful nature and his high academic level. "I would like to thank all my family, friends for the endless support through these difficult times and I would like to thank all the people who sent messages of condolences." Tributes also came from Yaseen's former teachers, who cannot be named for legal reasons. An Arabic teacher said: "He was one of the best children ever. Yaseen was a boy who loved to learn, he was always happy, he was a very good boy, very intelligent and very polite." Another teacher said Yaseen had a beautiful smile. "He was a little angel and touched all our hearts with his kindness, we shall all miss him dearly," she said. Yaseen's primary school teacher added: "He was a delightful little boy and beautifully behaved who always had a smile on his face. "It was a pleasure having him in school with us." It was initially thought Yaseen had died in a fire, but tests later revealed he had died hours earlier. In a complicated series of claims and counter-claims she had confessed to the murder and then retracted that confession. She claimed her husband and his family forced her to make the confession and that he was the killer. The harrowing confession was recorded by police and shown to the trial jury in evidence. In it, Sara Ege described how Yaseen collapsed after she had beaten him while still murmuring extracts of the Koran. "He was breathing as if he was asleep when I left him," she said. "He was still murmuring the same thing over and over again. I thought that he was just tired." When she returned 10 minutes later she said she found her son shaking and shivering on the floor. He then died. She then used barbecue gel to burn her son's body in an attempt to hide the evidence. The mother also confessed to beating her son for no reason and that her anger often led to her being out of control. She and her husband had enrolled Yaseen in advanced classes at their local mosque as they wanted him to become Hafiz - an Islamic term for someone who memorises the Koran. As a child Sara Ege had taken part in competitions showing her knowledge of Islam and had recited from the Koran. The court heard that she had become increasingly frustrated with her son's inability to learn the passages. She told officers: "I was getting all this bad stuff in my head, like I couldn't concentrate, I was getting angry too much, I would shout at Yaseen all the time. "I was getting very wild and I hit Yaseen with a stick on his back like a dog." She later retracted her statement. The trial heard that Yaseen suffered significant abdominal injuries that were the cause of his death. They included fractures which were non-accidental. He also had numerous historical injuries. "Sara Ege made no attempt to seek the medical attention he so obviously needed," the court was told during the trial by prosecutor Ian Murphy. Sand lizards and smooth snakes are known to live alongside the A338 in Bournemouth, which is being rebuilt. Work on the road was due to begin in 2010 then was shelved, but not before miles of "reptile fence" was installed. The new system of encouraging the reptiles to move by removing vegetation and creating improved habitat nearby has been approved by Natural England. In 2009 and 2010, work to move the creatures involved lane closures and traffic jams. Ecologists moved smooth snakes and sand lizards, which are rare in the UK and highly protected under European law, and a special fence was erected to stop the creatures returning. The road scheme was then shelved due to lack of funding. Now work has resumed, the reptile fence has been removed, along with gorse and bracken, and the verges cut back, making them unattractive as reptile habitats. Meanwhile, 79 acres (23 hectares) of nearby heathland has been enhanced, with trees and scrub removed and sand patches created. Dorset County Council's environment councillor, Peter Finney, said: "We're incredibly proud of our natural environment in Dorset and we strive to find new ways to work alongside our many protected areas and species, and enhance it - even when we are doing something as destructive as rebuilding a road." The £22m rebuild, between Ashley Heath Roundabout and Blackwater Junction, is due to be completed by April 2016. Source: Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust Tyne Amateur Rowing Club (ARC), which dates back to 1852, has built new facilities with help from a bequest from former member John Dalkin. Honorary vice-president Ian Boyd said they had built a "state of the art rowing club which is was one of the finest in the country" in a year. It has "excellent" storage facilities for boats and training, he said. The club's rowers have competed at the highest levels of the sport. Former Tyne ARC junior Will Fletcher is due to make his Olympic debut at Rio 2016 after being selected for the lightweight men's double scull. The Duchess of Northumberland, who opened the facility in Newcastle, said rowing on the Tyne was part of the area's history. "A lot of people who were involved in heavy industry would do this as a sideline," she said. "It's really wonderful to see that we're not sweeping that history under the carpet, that actually we're recognising it and it's flourishing." The building in Newburn also has facilities for local charities including the Percy Hedley Foundation, Norcare, Veterans at Ease and Visually Impaired North East. The site finds cheap fares by looking for flights that have a stopover at the city someone wants to travel to. The two firms allege the site is engaged in "unfair competition" and seeks to recoup lost revenue. The developer behind the site said he was doing nothing wrong by exposing the "inefficiencies" in airline ticketing. The legal action has been filed in Illinois. The Skiplagged website works by looking for longer flights that include a stop in a big city en route to another destination. One example might be flying from New York to Lake Tahoe that has a stopover in San Francisco. If someone wanted to travel to San Francisco they might spend less on the fare by booking the stopover flight and not travelling to Tahoe than they would simply booking a flight to San Francisco from New York. In some cases, the site suggests, travellers can save 40% or more on ticket fares. The trick only works with one-way flights. Travellers cannot check in any luggage as that would then travel on to the flight's final destination. Twenty-two-year-old developer Aktarer Zaman, who created the site, told CNNMoney that he had made no profit from Skiplagged. He declined to comment specifically on the case to CNN. Mr Zaman has launched a fundraising campaign to gather cash to fight the legal battle against United and Orbitz. So far he has raised $10,538 (£6,776) of the $15,000 needed. In its legal filing, United and Orbitz said the site was "intentionally and maliciously" interfering with the travel firms' business and was making it breach its contracts with its partners. The documents added that "logistical and public safety concerns" meant using "hidden city" tickets was prohibited and, as a result, using Skiplagged broke these rules. The two firms are seeking damages of at least $75,000 in revenue they claim they have lost as a result of Skiplagged operating. State officials have recognised the spirit as a Geographical Indication (GI). It means only whisky that has been made in Scotland can now legally be sold as Scotch in the country. The news comes days after Scottish Secretary David Mundell asked Mozambique to grant it legal protection during a visit to the country. The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said the "legal breakthrough" would give consumers a high level of protection against fakes. Scotch has been recognised as a GI in a number of markets over the last 12 months, including Botswana which was the first African country to reward it that status. It has also been given protection in the 17-member countries of the intellectual property body the Organisation Africaine de la Propriete Intellectuelle (OAPI). Scotch is now officially recognised in the laws of nearly 100 countries, including the whole of the European Union. Mozambique remains a relatively small export market, with direct shipments of Scotch in 2014 worth £1.6m. However, that was up from £214,000 five years earlier. SWA chief executive David Frost said: "We expect to see demand for Scotch increase in Mozambique as its economy continues to grow. "We have the same positive outlook for many African countries with a growing middle class seeking out quality, imported products, such as Scotch. Mr Mundell said: "This is a great result, and I am grateful to the Mozambique government. "Whisky is one of Scotland's greatest success stories, a globally-recognised premium product. "This new protection will help Scottish distillers maximise the value of this important new market. "It will also give consumers in Mozambique the confidence that the dram in their glass is the real thing." Originally billed as being for the WBA cruiserweight belt, the governing body's vice president Gilberto Mendoza said it is not a title bout. That had cast doubt over the meeting, but it will will go ahead on 12 December with Maccarinelli's manager Gary Lockett confident "He and I are very confident about this fight," said Lockett. "Even though he is 35, I think technically he is better than he was four or five years ago." Welshman Maccarinelli, 35, a former WBO cruiserweight champion and Jones, a four-weight former world champion, will fight over 12 rounds. Welsh boxers Zack Davies and Alex Hughes are also included on the bill at the VTB Ice Palace. Neither Welshman Maccarinelli or Jones was included in the WBA's latest cruiserweight rankings released earlier this month. Jones's last defeat was by Russian Denis Lebedev in 2011, while Maccarinelli has competed at light-heavyweight in recent years. American Jones is one of the greatest fighters of the modern era and in 2003 became the first former middleweight to win a heavyweight world title for 106 years. However, he has not held a world title since 2004, when he lost his light-heavyweight title to compatriot Antonio Tarver. Maccarinelli, meanwhile, has not been a world champion since losing his WBO cruiserweight title to David Haye in 2008. Jones, who is originally from Florida, officially became a Russian citizen after he was presented with his Russian passport in Moscow in October, 2015. Russian president Vladimir Putin signed a decree to grant citizenship to Jones in September after meeting the boxer in Crimea in August. Fittingly, this project is being undertaken by the desert state of the United Arab Emirates. It's the first space exploration mission ever to be launched by an Arab state, and the UAE's space agency has just five years to build the probe and all its components. The launch date is in July 2020, at a point when Earth and Mars are aligned in their orbits around the sun and closest to one another. The plan is for the probe to enter Mars' orbit on the 50th anniversary of the UAE's foundation as an independent country. At the Dubai Airshow, the UAE Space Agency has been showing its project to the public and the international media. "There's a window of around two to three weeks - the launching window - if you miss that, you have to wait another two years," says the space agency's director general Dr Mohammed Naser al Ahbabi. "It is challenging. If we miss that, we will miss our 50th anniversary arrival at Mars. So this is another challenge." At the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre in Dubai, a team of 75 engineers are building the satellite, which is roughly the size of a small car. They are also making all the components, such as imaging equipment, ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers, solar panels, a star-tracker navigation system and the thrusters that will slow the craft down once it reaches Mars orbit. Everyone on the team is Emirati, and the average age is 32. "The goal is unifying and inspiring young people in the UAE," says Dr al Ahbabi. "Now, young Emiratis are desperate to work on this and to be part of this journey into space." The plan is for the probe to orbit Mars for two years, collecting data about the planet's upper and lower atmospheres. Recent explorations by NASA suggest Mars used to have a cool climate and a lot of water on its surface. Scientists believe the atmosphere thinned to the point where Mars became so hot that almost all the water evaporated, the molecules escaping though the edge of the atmosphere into space. The planet does have frozen water its polar ice caps, and Nasa has recently found some evidence that liquid water flows at sub-surface levels intermittently on present-day Mars - but the planet is extremely arid when compared to Earth. The data collected by the probe will be presented to NASA for analysis. It may help scientists forecast what effect global warming will have on water resources here on Earth. "Our science mission will validate some of the suggestions of about there having been water on Mars," says Dr al Ahbabi. "But it will also contribute to a better understanding of Mars, because understanding what happened to Mars may help us understand what is happening to our home - Earth - and how we can protect the atmosphere of Earth. So it is a great contribution to our home planet." Dubai, which is home to the Mars mission, is already well-known for extravagant, headline-grabbing projects such as building huge islands in the sea, and the world's tallest tower. The ruler of Dubai and UAE Vice-President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, unveiled the space mission last year. The nation's rulers want to put the UAE at the forefront of scientific endeavour in the Arab world and recapture some of the spirit of the Golden Age of Islam when - in medieval times - the Middle East led the world in learning. "This is the first Arab and Islamic country which has stepped into space exploration," says Dr al Ahbabi. "Space is a great model for international co-operation, regardless of our differences on Earth." However, with a city as mercantile as Dubai as its base, there are also hard-headed commercial considerations behind the Mars mission. The US's Space Foundation says the global space industry generates revenues of over $330bn a year. Three-quarters of the sales of space equipment - such as satellites and launch rockets - are to commercial customers such as television and communications companies and the UAE wants to gain a stake in this market. UAE scientists have, in fact, built satellites before, in collaboration with scientists from South Korea. The first, DubaiSat 1, was designed and built almost entirely by the Koreans, but with DubaiSat 2, the Emirati team built half the satellite themselves. With the Mars satellite, the mission team is building all its high-technology imaging and navigation components from scratch, rather than buying them off-the-shelf from established manufacturers such as Boeing. It will then be able to market them to its customers of its own. However, the mission team is receiving technical advice from four US universities. So far, UAE says it has spent over $5bn on its satellite programme. Billions more will be spent on the Mars mission. It is a high-profile, but high-cost, way for the nation to enter the global space industry. The 43-year-old died while attempting a wingsuit flight from the 7,500 ft (2,286m) Taft Point promontory in Yosemite National Park, a park spokesman said. Fellow extreme athlete Graham Hunt also died as the pair attempted to fly at high speed. Rescuers found the bodies soon after contact had been lost with the men. The men were wearing skin tight suits with batwing sleeves and a flap between their legs to help them glide. Park ranger Scott Gediman said that their parachutes had not been deployed. "This is a horrible incident, and our deepest sympathies go out to their friends and family," Mr Gediman told the AP news agency. "This is a huge loss for all of us." Such stunts are illegal in the National Park but enthusiasts frequently manage to evade the authorities. My vision turns black and white except for the searing red line. Sounds fade. I feel faint, face flushed with heat. My muscles tense, but I hold calmness in my centre and loosen my arms from the shoulders to my fingertips. The moment sickens me, and my mind tries to stop it, but I command myself to walk. From deanspotter.com Base jumping: 'It's an addiction' The world of extreme sport has paid tribute to Potter, a climber who continuously pushed the limits of what was possible. He was a leading practitioner of "extreme highlining": walking across a tightrope between rock formations with only a parachute for safety. Those who worked with him say that base jumping - basically jumping from a fixed structure like a building or cliff - was possibly his greatest risk. "Base jumping is the most dangerous thing you can do... every time you jump it's a roll of the dice," photographer Corey Rich told the AP news agency. "The odds are not in your favour, and sadly Dean pulled the unlucky card." Last year the nutrition company Clif Bar withdrew their sponsorship of Potter and four other top climbers, as it felt uncomfortable with the risks that they were taking. Potter was the first to climb Yosemite's three most famous big walls in a single day. Earlier this month he set a record for the fastest ascent of one the park's most well known rock formations, the Half Dome, He was also renowned for his high-line walks and high-risk parachute jumps, some of which he carried out with his dog, Whisper. Last year he released a 22-minute long film, When Dogs Fly that chronicled Whisper's extreme adventures. Although it became a viral sensation, it also attracted criticism from animal rights activists. Climber Doug Robinson told the BBC that Potter had always sought to take on new challenges. "We're very sad about Dean Potter's death, but not very surprised," he told BBC Newsday, "he was pushing the envelope all his life."

Dr Amy Brown, whose research examines barriers new mothers face, signed an open letter in medical journal The Lancet which held a study into it. It found rates of breastfeeding in the UK are the lowest in the world. The letter has been signed by midwives, health visitors, paediatricians, peer supporters and university researchers. It said: "It is not a matter of persuading mothers to breastfeed - most mothers begin breastfeeding and initiation rates are around 80%. "However, rates plummet in the first weeks and months after birth, and most mothers say they stopped breastfeeding before they wanted to." The letter also highlights a strategy it wants the government to adopt in order to increase breastfeeding rates in the UK. Dr Brown said: "The signatories make it clear that the message of The Lancet series is that increasing breastfeeding rates is everyone's responsibility. "It therefore seems nonsensical to fail to invest in supporting new mothers to breastfeed. "However, despite public health messages recommending that mothers should breastfeed, these messages are not backed up with support once the baby is born."

A Swansea University academic has joined the call for the UK government to invest in supporting new mothers who breastfeed.

It was 22:00. Rudolf Diesel had retired to his cabin aboard the SS Dresden, travelling from Belgium across the English Channel. His nightclothes were laid out on his bed, but Diesel did not change into them. The inventor of the engine that bears his name was thinking about his heavy debts and the interest payments that he couldn't afford. In his diary, that date - 29 September 1913 - was marked with an ominous "X". Before the trip, Diesel had gathered what cash he could and stuffed it into a bag, together with documents laying bare his financial mess. He gave the bag to his unsuspecting wife, with instructions not to open it until a week had passed. Diesel stepped outside his cabin, removed his coat, laid it neatly on the ship's deck, looked over the railings and jumped. Or did he? Conspiracy theorists have speculated that Diesel was assisted overboard. But who might have had an interest in the impecunious inventor's demise? Two possible candidates have been fingered. 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations that have helped create the economic world we live in.

Steam supplied the power for trains and factories, but urban transport depended on horses. That autumn, equine flu brought US cities to a standstill. Grocery store shelves were bare and rubbish piled up in the streets. A city of half a million people might have 100,000 horses. Each one liberally coated the streets with 15kg of manure and 4 litres of urine every day. An affordable, reliable, small-scale engine that could replace the horse would be a godsend. The steam engine was one candidate: steam-powered cars were coming along nicely. Another was the internal combustion engine, early versions of which ran on petrol, gas, or even gunpowder. But when Rudolf Diesel was a student, both types of engine were woefully inefficient, converting only around 10% of heat into useful work. The young Diesel's life was changed by a lecture on thermodynamics at the Royal Bavarian Polytechnic of Munich, where he learned that it was theoretically possible to make an internal combustion engine that would convert all heat into work. Diesel set himself the task of translating theory into practice. He failed. His first working engine was only just over 25% efficient. Today, the best Diesel engines top 50%. But even so, 25% was more than twice as good as its rivals achieved. Diesel's engine is more efficient partly because of how it ignites the fuel. Petrol engines compress fuel and air together, then ignite it with a spark plug. But compress the mixture too much and it can self-ignite, which causes destabilising engine knock. Diesel's invention compresses only the air, and more so, making it hot enough to ignite the fuel when it's injected. And the higher the compression ratio, the less fuel is needed. Anyone who's researched buying a car will be familiar with the basic trade-off of a Diesel engine - they tend to be more expensive to buy, but more economical to run. Unfortunately for Rudolf, in early versions these efficiency gains were outweighed by reliability issues. He faced a steady stream of refund demands from unhappy customers. This dug the inventor into the financial hole from which he could not escape. Still, he kept working at his engine, and it kept improving. Other advantages became apparent. Diesel engines can use a heavier fuel than petrol engines - specifically, a heavier fuel that's become known as "diesel". As well as being cheaper than petrol to refine from crude oil, diesel also gives off fewer fumes, so it's less likely to cause explosions. This made it particularly attractive for military transport. By 1904, Diesel had got his engines into France's submarines. This brings us to the first conspiracy theory around Rudolf Diesel's death. In 1913 Europe, the drumbeats of impending war were quickening, and the cash-strapped German was en route to London. One newspaper headline luridly speculated: "Inventor thrown into the sea to stop sale of patents to British government." It was only after World War One that Diesel's invention began to realise its commercial potential. The first diesel-powered trucks appeared in the 1920s, trains in the 1930s. By 1939 a quarter of global sea trade was fuelled by diesel. After World War Two, ever more powerful and efficient diesel engines led to ever more enormous ships. Fuel accounts for around 70% of the costs of shipping goods around the world. Scientist Vaclav Smil argues that steam-powered globalisation would have grown much more slowly than diesel allowed. The economist Brian Arthur isn't so sure. He describes the rise of the internal combustion engine over the past century as "path dependence": a self-reinforcing cycle in which existing investments and infrastructure mean we keep doing things in a certain way, even if we'd do them differently if only we could start from scratch. As late as 1914, Arthur argues, steam was at least as viable as crude oil for powering cars - but the growing influence of the oil industry ensured that much more money went into improving the internal combustion engine than the steam engine. With equal investment in research and development, perhaps today we'd be driving next-generation steam-powered cars. Alternatively, if Rudolf had had his way, perhaps the global economy would run on peanuts. Diesel's name has become synonymous with a crude oil derivative, but he designed his engine to use a variety of fuels, from coal dust to vegetable oils. In 1900, at the Paris World Fair, he demonstrated a model based on peanut oil. He became something of an evangelist and in 1912 - a year before his death - Diesel predicted that vegetable oils would become as important a source of fuel as petroleum products. A more appealing vision for owners of peanut farms than for owners of oil fields, the impetus to make it happen largely dissipated with Diesel's death. Hence the second conspiracy theory to inspire a speculatively sensationalist headline in a contemporary newspaper: "Murdered by agents from big oil trusts." There's recently been a resurgence of interest in biodiesel. It's less polluting than oil fuel, but it's controversial - it competes for land with agriculture, pushing up food prices. In Rudolf's era, this was less of a concern: the population was much smaller, and the climate was more predictable. Diesel was excited by the idea that his engine could help to develop poor, agricultural economies. How different might the world look today, if the most valuable land during the past hundred years wasn't where you could drill for oil, but where you could cultivate peanuts? We can only guess - just as we'll never know for sure what happened to Rudolf Diesel. By the time his body reappeared 10 days later, it was too decomposed for an autopsy, or even for the crew to be willing to take it on board at all. Diesel's wallet, pocket knife and spectacles case were retrieved and later identified by his son. His body was taken by the waves.

Christi and Bobby Shepherd, from West Yorkshire, died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel in 2006. An inquest jury ruled they had been unlawfully killed and said Thomas Cook "breached its duty of care". The holiday firm was awarded damages against the hotel's owner in 2010. Thomas Cook said its insurers had taken half of the payout for legal costs. It said donating the remainder to Unicef was "the right thing to do". Group chief executive officer Peter Fankhauser said: "Thomas Cook has not in any way profited from our claim against the hotel owner. "In late 2012, we brought a claim against the hotelier for breaching their contract to provide safe accommodation to our customers and to comply with all applicable laws, which was decided in our favour. "Today I have made arrangements for the full amount - £1.5m - to be donated in full to Unicef, the world's leading children's organisation. "I believe this is the right thing to do and I apologise to the family for all they have gone through." The children, from Horbury, near Wakefield, were on holiday with their father, Neil, and his now wife, Ruth, when they died. All four were found by a chambermaid in a bungalow at the hotel. Their father and stepmother had also become ill and were in a coma when they were found but recovered in hospital. Thomas Cook was cleared of responsibility at a trial in Greece in 2010 and was awarded damages against the hotel's owner. The inquest held in Wakefield heard a faulty hot water boiler had been housed in an outbuilding attached to the side of the bungalow where the family was staying. When previously asked about the compensation it received, a Thomas Cook spokesman said: "After it was clear that the hotel was responsible for the tragedy all parties affected were compensated and Thomas Cook received a compensation that partly compensated for the costs related to the incident." The company said it was "shocked and deeply saddened" by the deaths. The charity donation by Thomas Cook follows criticism of the firm from the parents of Bobby and Christi over the weekend. Neil Shepherd and Sharon Wood accused the travel giant of not apologising over the deaths following the end of inquests last week. Mr Shepherd and Mrs Wood said it was "disgraceful" an apparent letter of apology from Mr Fankhauser was only brought to their attention by journalists. In a statement on Sunday, Mr Shepherd and Mrs Wood said: "It is disgraceful that after all we've been through Thomas Cook are still putting us last in the equation. "We haven't had this 'so called' letter of apology. We have been shown it by the press and feel it is an appalling continuation of Thomas Cook's PR exercise. "It's not an apology for their wrongdoing but a general offer of sympathy." Mrs Wood told The Mail On Sunday: "It seems our children's lives are worth only a fraction of Thomas Cook's reputation." She said the firm should have apologised at the inquest. The drivers of a silver Ford Focus and a white Peugeot van were involved in a dispute on the A82, at its Glasgow Road junction, at about 16:20 on Monday. Both vehicles later stopped on Glasgow Road, near Dumbarton town centre. An altercation took place and the Ford Focus driver sustained a head injury. Police have appealed for witnesses to the incident to get in touch. Authors Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris join the likes of JK Rowling, Dan Brown and EL James in reaching the landmark sales figure in less than 12 months. The books use original Ladybird-style artwork alongside tongue-in-cheek text. The current set of 10 titles include spoof guides to mindfulness, sheds, hipsters and mid-life crises. Nine more titles in the series will be released later this year. These include The Ladybird Book of The People Next Door, The Ladybird Book of The Sickie and The Ladybird Book of The Zombie Apocalypse. The original hardback books have become a nostalgic favourite in recent years. Rowland White, Penguin Michael Joseph's editorial director, said the response to the series had been "extraordinary and heart-warming". Kiera O'Brien, charts and data analyst at The Bookseller magazine, attributed much of the series' success to its suitability as a gift item. "They're being quite clever in how they're releasing them," she told the BBC, citing the way How It Works: The Mum had been published to coincide with Mother's Day. Ms O'Brien also cited the "collectability factor" and its relative affordability for a pocket-sized hardback as additional reasons for its appeal. She added How it Works: The Husband, had now sold nearly as many copies as Jamie Oliver's last cookbook.

The 23-year-old Banbridge athlete's winning time of 33:57 was the fastest in the 10k race for several years. She finished 33 seconds ahead of Irish Marathon Champion Laura Graham. Derry Track Club's JP Williamson (31:05) won a North West dominated men's race as he came in five seconds ahead of Foyle Valley's Scott Rankin. The Seeley event at Ormeau Park doubled up as the Northern Ireland 10k Road Race Championship. Five-time world snooker champion O'Sullivan joined Mitchell and other members of coach Eamonn Christie's training group in Belfast last week. Keen runner O'Sullivan contacted Christie before last week's Northern Ireland Snooker Open asking if he would be able to organise training companions for him during the tournament. The stardust appear to rub off on Queen's University student Mitchell in Saturday's race as she held off a strong challenge from Graham with international duathlete Judith Lonnen (City of Lisburn) finishing third in 36:40. "I'm really, really happy with the time and happy with the win obviously," said Mitchell, 23. "Eamonn told me to go off hard and just engage the race." Only seven seconds separated the first three in the men's event with winner Williamson's club-mate Conan McCaughey completing the podium positions. Two lion-tailed macaques named Rose and Zoid got away after giving their keepers the slip on Wednesday. Rose was found on Thursday at the bottom of Cave Hill, where one of the monkeys was sighted on Wednesday. Belfast Zoo said Zoid was found on Saturday morning and returned by its team. Previously, the monkey was spotted near houses in Ben Madigan Park on the Antrim Road in north Belfast. "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". Trainees from all over China learn their skills at Wenfeng's headquarters and boarding college in Shanghai. "Roll call begins at 07:00, after breakfast, and includes standing to attention, singing and even dancing," says Browning. The classes last all day.

It's possible and only a couple of matches away now. I'll just give everything I've got the next few days," he said. World number one Novak Djokovic plays Dominic Thiem in the other semi-final. In the women's draw, Serena Williams takes on Kiki Bertens and Garbine Muguruza plays Sam Stosur, with both matches getting under way at 12:00. British number one Murray has been to the last four at Roland Garros on three previous occasions, losing to Rafael Nadal in 2011 and 2014 and Djokovic in five sets last year. Murray has won eight out of 15 previous meetings with 31-year-old Wawrinka, but has lost their last three - and all three on clay. However, Murray has improved significantly on the surface in the past two years and beat Djokovic in the Italian Open final before heading to Paris. "Stan is obviously playing great tennis," Murray said. "It is going to be extremely difficult [but] hopefully I can play my best tennis and reach my first final here." Third seed Wawrinka, who won the tournament last year and the Australian Open in 2014, still feels his career is inferior to Murray's despite matching the Scot's tally of two Grand Slam titles. "Now that I've won a second Grand Slam people say I'm closer to him," the Swiss said. "If you were to compare our two careers, he's well ahead of me given all the titles, the finals, number two in the world. "He's in the 'Big Four' [along with Djokovic, Nadal and Roger Federer]. There is a reason for this. Maybe he has fewer titles than the other three, but he's always been with them during the semis, the finals. His career is very, very impressive." Murray has racked up 36 titles, compared to Wawrinka's 14. Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Sabet Choudhury was told his mother Sakina could have only three years to live, after her kidneys failed. He said he had "little choice" but to donate a kidney, as she could have been waiting 10 years for a transplant. The operation was a success but he said the wait for other ethnic minority families could be "long and fatal". According to the NHS, transplants are more likely to be successful if the donor is of a similar ethnic background. But in the UK only 3.5% of people from ethnic minorities are on the Organ Donor Register, while more than a third of those awaiting a transplant are from ethnic minorities. Sabet, 41, said he was worried his mother, who is 70 and of Bangladeshi origin, would face a 10-year-wait for a transplant, which might come too late. She fell ill at Christmas 2013 and Sabet said it had been hard to watch his mother having to be hooked up to a dialysis machine, three times a week with a "pretty poor quality of life". "You don't want to see that happen in front of your eyes, that quickly, knowing you can do something about it," he said. At the beginning of 2014 he began the process to be a living donor, with tests at Southmead Hospital, Bristol. He was cleared for the transplant and the operation took place in November last year. Sabet's mother is now doing well and looks "almost 10 years younger", he said. Sabet's story is being broadcast in Transplants and Trafficking on BBC 1 in the West at 1900 BST on Thursday 30 July and will be available on BBC iPlayer. The Tibetan spiritual leader, 81, had visited Arunachal Pradesh in India's remote north-east earlier in April. China had said the visit had a "negative impact" on bilateral relations and warned India against "undermining" Beijing's interests. India has not yet commented on the Chinese announcement, made on Tuesday. However, it has maintained that the Dalai Lama's visit was purely for religious reasons. It is also not the first time he has visited the state - he made official trips there in 1983, 1997, twice in 2003 and in 2009. "China has standardised the names of six places in South Tibet, a region that is part of China's territory but in which some areas are currently controlled by India," a Chinese state media report said. Dalai Lama meets guard from 1959 escape China accused of Indian incursion It dated the decision one day after the Dalai Lama ended his week-long visit to Arunachal Pradesh. This marks the first time China has officially named regions in the disputed territory. The announcement was made days after India's foreign ministry spokesman Gopal Baglay said there was no change in India's position that Tibet was part of China. The 22-year-old sprinter crossed the line in Doncaster ahead of first-stage winner Dylan Groenewegen of LottoNL-Jumbo, who retains the overall lead. Van Poppel's compatriot Kirsten Wild won the women's race earlier on Saturday over the same 136km route. Elsewhere, Britain's Chris Froome of Team Sky earned a solo victory on the fourth stage of Tour de Romandie. Van Poppel, who claimed his first victory since jointing Team Sky in the winter, picked up 10 bonus seconds with his bunch-finish win to elevate him to second in the general classification, six seconds behind Van Groenewegen. Nikias Arndt (Giant-Alpecin) was third in the stage and is third overall, two seconds further back, with Chris Opie (ONE Pro Cycling) Britain's highest-place finisher in fourth. ITV4's live coverage had to be abandoned because of technical issues that also meant only brief recorded highlights of the women's race could be shown. The three-day race is in its second year and a legacy of Yorkshire's hosting of the Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France. Sunday's final stage, a 198km route from Middlesbrough to Scarborough, contains six categorised climbs. In the Tour de Romandie, Froome began the day more than 17 minutes down on the general classification lead after a disappointing second stage, but showed the fighting qualities that have earned him two Tour de France titles. In the company of Tejay van Garderen (BMC), he pulled away from the peloton with 40km to go as the race tackled the first of two steep ascents. Froome then dropped Van Garderen three kilometres from the summit of the final climb and took no risks on the wet descent to win by four seconds from Ion Izagirre (Movistar). Colombia's Nairo Quintana (Movistar) is the overall leader by 19 seconds from France's Thibaut Pinot (FDJ).

The higher court said that if businesses that did not suffer losses from the spill were compensated, the whole settlement could be invalid. BP said it was "extremely pleased" with the ruling, which justified its fears. The oil giant, which had agreed to pay compensation for the disaster, argued that the terms of existing settlement meant that people and businesses were being paid huge sums for false claims. The appeals court has now ordered Judge Barbier at the lower district court to review the wording of the deal in order to draw up a narrower set of definitions that will exclude unfair claims. By Robert PestonBusiness editor BP had originally expected the payouts to total $7.8bn (£4.9bn). Earlier this year, the company said the payouts had reached $9.6bn, and in July BP warned that the trust fund set up to compensate victims was about to run out. Judge Brown accepted that BP may be paying out hundreds of millions of dollars for dubious claims, money that it would be difficult for the company to recover. "There is no need to secure peace with those with whom one is not at war," she said. "The district court had no authority to approve the settlement of a class that included members that had not sustained losses at all, or had sustained losses unrelated to the oil spill, as BP alleges. "If the administrator is interpreting the settlement to include such claimants, the settlement is unlawful," she added. BP has faced about $42.4bn in criminal and civil charges since the disaster aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which triggered the worst offshore oil spill in US history. The blast killed 11 workers and released an estimated four million barrels of oil into the gulf. BP, which has made two previous, unsuccessful, attempts to halt compensation payments, said in a statement that "it was extremely pleased with today's ruling". It added: "It affirms what BP has been saying since the beginning: claimants should not be paid for fictitious or wholly non-existent losses. "We are gratified that the systematic payment of such claims by the claims administrator must now come to an end." The GPS tracker-fitted device is one of two dropped from a helicopter in the sea off southern Iceland a year ago. One was found on Tiree in January and the second was found in the Faroese island of Sandoy. The devices were released simultaneously as part of an experiment highlighting marine pollution. Both floated west, passing the coast of Greenland and then towards Canada before drifting east. For several weeks it had looked as if the second device would end up back on the shores of Iceland. It then headed in the general direction of Shetland before drifting back to the Faroes. The two devices were part of a science experiment set up to test where marine litter ends up. Their journeys could be tracked on a website set up by an Icelandic TV science programme which was available to the public. The experiment was designed to highlight how rubbish dropped in the sea does not disappear but becomes a problem for people living on coastlines in other parts of the world. The message in a bottle came ashore on Saturday and was found by Tórshavn residents Laufey Óskarsdóttir Hansen, her partner and their three children Tórur, Tinna and Baldu. They had been following the course of the bottle online via its GPS tracker. The family then took the ferry to Sandoy on Sunday morning in the hope of reaching it on the beach of Húsavík. Icelandic scientist Ævar Þór Benediktsson, who has been involved in the research, said winds were a big influence on where they ended up. He said: "This goes to show again that when we throw something in the sea it doesn't disappear - it goes on a journey. In this particular case, an 18,000km-long journey." Islander Rhoda Meek recovered the device that washed up on Tiree. The device had narrowly missed being washed up on the Western Isles, and floated on to the island in the Inner Hebrides. She carefully packaged it up and posted it back to Iceland. The team, reporting in Science Translational Medicine, were analysing the billions of bugs that naturally call the human body home. Their analysis of 319 children showed they were at higher risk of asthma if four types of bacteria were missing. Experts said the "right bugs at the right time" could be the best way of preventing allergies and asthma. In the body, bacteria, fungi and viruses outnumber human cells 10 to one, and this "microbiome" is thought to have a huge impact on health. The team, at the University of British Columbia and the Children's Hospital in Vancouver, compared the microbiome at three months and at one year with asthma risk at the age of three. Children lacking four types of bacteria - Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, Veillonella, and Rothia (Flvr) - at three months were at high risk of developing asthma at the age of three, based on wheeze and skin allergy tests. The same effect was not noticed in the microbiome of one-year-olds, suggesting that the first few months of life are crucial. Further experiments showed that giving the bacterial cocktail to previously germ-free mice reduced inflammation in the airways of their pups. One of the researchers, Dr Stuart Turvey, said: "Our longer-term vision would be that children in early life could be supplemented with Flvr to look to prevent the ultimate development of asthma "I want to emphasise that we are not ready for that yet, we know very little about these bacteria, [but] our ultimate vision of the future would be to prevent this disease." Asthma is caused by airways that are more sensitive to irritation and inflammation. Cases have soared, and one in every 11 children in the UK is now diagnosed with asthma. One explanation for the rise in asthma and allergies is the "hygiene hypothesis", which suggests that children are no longer exposed to enough microbes to calibrate the immune system to tell the difference between friend and foe. Giving birth by Caesarean section and not breast-feeding both limit the bacteria that are passed to a newborn. Antibiotics taken by a pregnant woman or newborn child can also change the microbiome. Dr Brett Finlay, another researcher in the project, said: "[I was] surprised to realise that faecal microbes may be influencing things. "What data's really starting to show these days is that the immune system gets itself set up in the gut and influences how it works everywhere else in the body." Dr Benjamin Marsland, from the University of Lausanne, in Switzerland, told the BBC: "For a number of years, exposure to microbes has been linked with protection against asthma, a classic example is growing up on a farm and drinking raw milk." His own research suggests a high-fibre diet reduces inflammation in the lungs and may ease asthma symptoms. He said previous research was showing a mounting role for diet, microbes and the first year of life being key. He added: "This new study adds weight to these observations and supports the concept that there are certain developmental windows in early life, where it's really important to get the right signals. "A common factor in all studies so far has been the microbiota, in fact making sure babies have the right bugs, at the right time, might be the best step towards preventing asthma and allergies." Dr Samantha Walker, from the charity Asthma UK, said: "Asthma is a complex condition, and this research suggests that the delicate balance of gut bacteria in our bodies affects our immune systems and may have a role to play in why some people go on to develop asthma. "However, much more research is needed to help understand what these findings mean in terms of providing advice for new parents, developing treatments and ultimately a cure." A planning application has been lodged for the proposed redevelopment of the buildings on King's Stables Road. The one and two bedroom flats would include 25% affordable housing and student accommodation. The buildings on the site, formerly council offices, storage premises and workshops, have lain vacant since 2009. They were put on the market last year by the council. Its a joint venture between Peveril Securities - the development arm of the Bowmer and Kirkland Group - and Campus Development Management. Charles Vyvyan from Campus Development Management, said: "This corner of the Grassmarket has lain neglected for a number of years, and these exciting proposals will breathe much-needed life into this part of the Old Town, providing a hotel, student accommodation, flats and facilities to accommodate and promote the arts. "We were highly sensitive to the fact that the site is within the UNESCO World Heritage site boundary, and as we worked our way through the planning process engaged closely with the local community, updating them on our proposals and listening to their feedback. "We also want to ensure that the local; community and stakeholders have plenty of further opportunity to comment on the proposals, and have invited the council to extend the period for commenting on the planning application until later in January, to take account of the Christmas and New Year holiday period." An Austrian woman was one of the dead, according to police, while the identity of the second victim, also a foreign woman, was still unclear. A short circuit near the fuel tank may have been the cause, officials said, ruling out a bomb. Indonesia has a poor maritime safety record and fatal accidents are common. The boat was carrying at least 30 passengers, including many foreigners, and four crew, and was heading to the nearby island of Gili Trawangan. There were also tourists from the UK, France, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Spain on board, according to a passenger manifest. The explosion on the Gili Cat 2 boat happened 200m (219 yards) out of Padang Bai port in eastern Bali, according to police. "Based on the testimony [from passengers] and from what I saw on the scene, the explosion came from the fuel tank," local police chief Sugeng Sudarso said. "Above it was a battery. Maybe there was a short circuit that affected the fuel tank?" The explosion, he said, shattered the boat's rear windows and upended seating. A spokesman for the British embassy in Jakarta said it was providing assistance to British nationals injured in the blast, AFP news agency reports. Last year, dozens of tourists were injured when small explosions hit a ferry crossing between Bali and the neighbouring holiday island of Lombok. The explosions were thought to have come from the fuel tank of the ferry. But Indonesia has also been targeted by Islamist militants. In January, gun and bomb attacks on the capital, Jakarta left four civilians and four attackers dead. In Bali itself, 202 people - mostly foreigners - died in 2002 when two bombs ripped through an area popular with tourists. It follows claims in The Times newspaper that refugees have been kept in dirty and dangerous homes and have felt threatened and humiliated. The allegations include the case of a mother and baby housed in a cockroach-infested property in Glasgow. The Home Office said it tried to inspect asylum accommodation regularly. A spokesman also said it took every effort to ensure that asylum seekers were treated with respect and said it would investigate any complaints. The Scottish Refugee Council wants the Home Office to commission an independent inquiry into claims of substandard housing and dehumanising treatment of refugees by a private company contracted to provide accommodation services. The Home Office outsources the contract for asylum accommodation in Glasgow to multi-national services company Serco and its sub-contractor, the property management firm Orchard & Shipman (O&S). A number of allegations have been made in The Times against O&S, including those in relation to the behaviour of its employees and the quality of the housing it has provided. The claims made in the newspaper included O&S staff spraying air freshners at asylum seekers, while laughing and pinching their noses, and an allegation of a man being housed in a property with blood-spattered walls and no lock on the front door. John Wilkes, chief executive of the Scottish Refugee Council, said: "These latest allegations follow recent concerning practices in Home Office contracted asylum accommodation such as the 'red doors' scandal in Middlesborough and asylum seekers required to wear coloured wristbands in Cardiff. "A report on asylum seeker accommodation carried out in 2014 by the Scottish Refugee Council highlighted many similar issues. If the latest allegations are upheld, the problems seem to have only got worse, particularly the alleged discriminatory and neglectful conduct within Orchard and Shipman. "The Home Office has clear legal responsibilities towards refugees. These include ensuring people fleeing persecution from countries like Syria, Eritrea and Afghanistan who arrive in the UK seeking asylum have their claims properly considered and that they are housed and supported in a humane and dignified way during this process. "Claiming asylum is a human right and not a crime." The Scottish Refugee Council said an independent investigation into the allegations could include inquiries into whether any criminal offences had been committed. It also wants the Home Office to commit to a review of how its asylum accommodation contracts are being managed and delivered, and for the Home Affairs Committee of the UK Parliament to initiate a full inquiry into the operation of the Home Office Compass asylum accommodation contracts. A Home Office spokesman said: "The UK has a proud history of granting asylum to those who need it and providing safe and secure accommodation while applications are considered. "We take every effort to inspect all asylum accommodation on a regular basis to ensure that it meets the required standard and asylum seekers are treated with respect. "We will investigate any complaint we receive that a contractor is falling short of these standards. Where there is evidence that this is the case, we work with providers to ensure issues are quickly addressed and, when they are not, we can and do impose sanctions." A spokesman for Serco said: "All property is cleaned prior to residents moving in and checked for compliance with the Home Office requirements. "Every property is also inspected weekly and both Serco and the Home Office conduct random inspections covering at least 20% of all properties every month. "Orchard and Shipman staff are expected to be courteous and respectful at all times. "If any resident is unhappy with the behaviour of staff there is a complaints procedure that residents are briefed on. All complaints are fully investigated and appropriate action taken if required." SNP Immigration and Asylum spokesman Stuart McDonald said: "These claims are deeply worrying. The allegations about how Orchard and Shipman are treating asylum seekers in Glasgow are truly appalling if accurate." Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "These are shocking allegations about the mistreatment of some of the most vulnerable people in this country. "Britain has a long history of generosity and hospitality, we shouldn't be expecting them to live in substandard accommodation and be intimidated by the very people there to support them." The portfolio was sold to the Cerberus investment fund in 2014 for £1.3bn. It was once valued at about £4.5bn. Nama is the Irish government agency set up to manage loans acquired from Irish banks after the property crash. Its chairman Frank Daly gave evidence to the Irish parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Thursday. The Republic's auditor general found earlier this year that Nama could have got £190m more for the sale of the portfolio than it did. The auditor general also found that Nama was slow to act once it became aware that Frank Cushnahan, the agency's former Northern Ireland adviser, was due to receive a payment from the sale. The sale of the portfolio, known as Project Eagle, is being investigated by the UK's National Crime Agency and the authorities in the United States. Nama has vigorously contested the auditor general's findings and described them as "unsound and unstable". Mr Daly told the committee that he does not believe the sale was compromised by Mr Cushnahan because he had no influence over either the sale price of the portfolio or the board's decision to accept the sale. He also said that an account of the sale by a company that dropped out of the auction, Pimco, was "materially inaccurate". Pimco said it left the auction voluntarily in March 2014 after it told Nama that Mr Cushnahan was one of those to benefit from a £15m fee sought from the company. Mr Daly told the committee that Pimco failed to disclose a number of important facts about Nama. These, he said, included the fact that US lawyers, Brown Rudnick, first approached the company and introduced it to Mr Cushnahan in April 2013, when he was still a member of Nama's Northern Ireland advisory committee. The Irish government committee has previously heard evidence from Cerberus that it paid a £15m "success fee" to Brown Rudnick after completing the purchase of the portfolio. As you'll no doubt be aware, the lyrics concern her long and tedious feud with Kanye West, which began when the rapper rushed on stage during Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Awards. The song comes hot on the heels of Katy Perry's Swish Swish, allegedly about her own beef with Team Taylor and itself a riposte to Swift's song Bad Blood. None of these songs, it has to be said, are among their authors' best work - which got me wondering whether pop feuds had ever resulted in noteworthy songs. I put the question to Twitter last week, and instantly received dozens of brilliant replies. So here are seven of the best verses with vendettas. In his youth, Neil Young had a very dim view of the American South. He wrote two songs - Southern Man and Alabama - which criticised white citizens for building their wealth on the back of slave labour, asking: "When will you pay them back?" Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Ronnie Van Zant was incensed. "We thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two," he said, pointing out that many people had opposed racism and segregation. His riposte came in Sweet Home Alabama, where he sang: "Well, I hope Neil Young will remember / A Southern Man don't need him around." The song became a huge hit, and even Young loved it. "Alabama richly deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me in their greatest song," he wrote in his 2012 memoir. "I don't like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue." When girl group Destiny's Child lost three members in quick succession, commentators compared the band to the rotating cast of US reality show Survivor. That prompted Beyonce into the studio, where she penned a strident anthem to empowerment and resilience. "Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better," she castigated her former bandmates. "You thought I wouldn't sell without you, sold nine million." Survivor won a Grammy, but two of those former bandmates, Letoya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, sued Destiny's Child over the lyrics, contending they made derisive comments about them, in violation of a previous settlement which prevented either party from making "any public comment of a disparaging nature concerning one another". The case was eventually dropped - and Beyonce went on to become Beyonce. Written as a response to the turmoil in his personal life after the mania surrounding Purple Rain, Old Friends 4 Sale was one of the most scathing songs Prince ever composed. It was triggered, in part, by the betrayal of his trusted bodyguard "Big" Chick Huntsberry (above left), who sold a fictitious story about Prince to the National Enquirer, allegedly to fund his cocaine habit. Prince also takes aim at two former friends "who got stuck in the snow" - another cocaine reference - before concluding: "Some things are better left unsaid / And some people are better left untrusted." It's a mournful, sombre song, unlike almost anything else in Prince's back catalogue - but it was either too personal or too painful to be released. Prince sat on it until 1991, at which point he re-recorded the vocals, neutering the most caustic lyrics out of sympathy for Huntsberry, who had died a year earlier. Sadly, that inferior version is the only one that's been officially released, appearing on the 1999 compilation The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale. My original plan was to exclude break-up songs from this list - otherwise the entire thing would be the tracklisting for Fleetwood Mac's Rumours - but Feargal Sharkey's story is too good not to tell (thanks to Penny Andrews for bringing it to my attention). A Good Heart was a number one single for the former Undertones frontman in 1985, but it was written by Maria "Show Me Heaven" McKee about the end of her relationship with Benmont Tench, the keyboard player in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. As break-up songs go, it's fairly anodyne - but it prompted a furious response from Tench, who dashed off a red ink reply and sent it to Sharkey. Called You Little Thief, it contains one of the coldest lyrics in pop: "You little dream / You little nightmare / You little nothing / You little girl". The poison darts keep coming for a full five minutes, until Tench rounds off his rant with the devastating couplet: "There's no hard feelings / There's no feelings at all." Sharkey released You Little Thief as his next single, and placed the tracks side-by-side on his album - effectively becoming the mouthpiece for this lovers' quarrel. Interestingly, Tench recently denied writing You Little Thief about McKee, rewriting this slice of pop history. End of Twitter post by @benchten Perhaps The Libertines' best song, You Can't Stand Me Now was written in a two-star Parisian hotel, just after Pete Doherty was released from prison for burgling guitarist Carl Barat's flat. The lyrics are a thinly veiled account of their love/hate relationship, with references to Doherty's heroin addiction and his "light fingers". The first verse finds them apportioning blame. "You twist and tore our love apart," accuses Barat, "You know you've got it the wrong way round," retorts Doherty, reprimanding his bandmate for getting him locked up. By the chorus, they're trading the line "You can't stand me now". Although the song is shot through with affection, the relationship couldn't withstand Doherty's addictions, and the Libertines split six months later. "Mariah, what ever happened to us, why did we have to break up?" rapped Eminem on his 2009 track Bagpipes From Baghdad. Mariah's response? "You're delusional, boy, you're losing your mind". The pair had allegedly dated for six months in 2001, with Eminem referencing their dalliance in several of his later songs. Mariah always denied the relationship, telling Maxim she'd "hung out" with Eminem "a total of four times. And I don't consider that dating somebody". So when he continued to write about Mariah, she snapped. "Why you so obsessed with me?" she sang in a barely disguised tirade. "Lying that you're sexing me, when everybody knows / It's clear that you're upset with me." Then came the sucker punch: "Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress." Robbie's departure from Take That was notoriously rocky. They issued him an ultimatum - "clean up your act or quit the band" - and he called their bluff by quitting to become the UK's biggest pop star. But he still harboured a long-standing grudge against Gary Barlow, saying in 2010: "I wanted to crush him. I wanted to crush the memory of the band - and I didn't let go." The anger spilled out on No Regrets, the second single from Williams' second solo album, I've Been Expecting You. The backing vocals (performed by Neil Tennant) recount his bandmates' criticisms - from the banal "we've been told you stay up late", to the cruel, "you're too short to carry weight". "I don't want to hate but that's all you've left me with," Robbie seethes, before declaring: "I guess the love we had is officially dead". They've patched things up since - even performing the song together on Take That's 2011 Progress tour. When Robbie sings it now, the closing lyric is rewritten to say: "The love we have is officially alive." Taylor Swift, take note.

They become hidden after a certain period of time chosen by the author, the firm said. It is part of a new "secret message" service having a limited trial, Facebook announced. Senders must choose one device to use it on, as messages sent this way are stored on the device itself. Those flagged to "disappear" will be deleted from the device as well. "Starting a secret conversation with someone is optional," it said. "Secret conversations can only be read on one device and we recognise that experience may not be right for everyone." Facebook listed health and financial issues as examples of messages that people may wish to keep more private - while others have mentioned love affairs. The idea is being trialled on a "limited basis", Facebook said, but added that it would be more widely available over the summer. Video and GIFs cannot be shared secretly at the moment. The service will also have extra features for reporting abuse - and once this is introduced, there will be a delay in the deletion of messages to enable flagging. "Facebook will never have access to plain text messages unless one participant in a secret conversation voluntarily reports the conversation," it explained in a technical document. The service is built on the Signal protocol by Open Whisper Systems, which is widely used by messaging apps, said cybersecurity expert Professor Alan Woodward from Surrey University. "Signal is well tested and those who developed it are well regarded in the cryptography community," he said. "But the problem with something effectively becoming an open standard in this way is that if ever a problem were found it could have widespread impact." Prof Woodward added that the technical report released by Facebook was "not as complete as many would like" in terms of assessing the service's security. "If I were to choose any messaging system I would look for it to be based on Signal at present. "However, I'd like to know more about exactly how it is implemented, or at least know that those who can analyse such systems have scrutinised the code." Glenn Loovens' second-half header was enough to secure victory for the Owls, who remain sixth in the table. Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood made several fine saves, tipping Dwight Gayle's goal-bound shot on to the post in the early stages of the first half. But Newcastle, who had won their past three, could not find a way through. After recovering from back-to-back league defeats with a three-game winning streak, Newcastle looked likely to extend their lead at the summit. However they were well marshalled for the most part by Wednesday. Despite an early scare when Gayle struck the frame of the goal, it was the Owls who had the best of the chances and only Karl Darlow's sharp reactions stopped ex-Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher from a first-half opener. The visitors' gameplan troubled Newcastle throughout as Darlow continued made fine saves, but eventually his and the host's luck ran out when Loovens pounced. As time ticked down the Magpies mounted a late bid to grind down Wednesday, but were unable to achieve the breakthrough and a sell-out crowd were left frustrated at the final whistle. Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez told BBC Newcastle: "We have to be disappointed when we lose, especially these kind of games when you're at the top against a good team and we didn't manage the pressure. "We had three chances before the first chance they had and we didn't taken them, then we make mistakes and concede a goal. The second half we gave them the opportunity to play counter-attack. "It is important when you can't score or create, don't give other teams the belief they can break. They're a good team with experience in the league." Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We are Sheffield Wednesday. I talked about this in the press conference, we have a brand in the way we play. "Whatever we do - win, lose or draw - we try to win the game and tonight we did absolutely fantastic. "We had the plan for the game, we tried to stay with the ball and have the ball in areas they would struggle to press, and we were a threat to the goal. "The best way to reflect it is that their goalkeeper was the best player for Newcastle, he made three or four fantastic saves." Match ends, Newcastle United 0, Sheffield Wednesday 1.

He made her so ill that doctors thought she may have motor neurone disease. Smith, 62, also convinced her he had been in the SAS and carried out the raid on the Iranian Embassy. He also said his first wife was a professional ballerina who died along with their unborn child, and claimed he owned a factory which made top secret components for the MoD, which he was planning to sell in a multi-million pound deal. They were all lies. Smith has been jailed for three and a half years and was told by a sheriff he was guilty of a "prolonged and evil course of criminal conduct". Elizabeth, 62, had met Smith, who is from Telford in Shropshire, in a TK Maxx store and they had gone for a coffee. "He was the kindest - 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. "I did think 'did that just happen?'. It was all quite surreal really." The relationship developed quickly and the couple were soon regularly phoning, texting and emailing each other. Smith told Elizabeth, who is from Ayr, he had been divorced for four years but it turned out he had only been apart from his second wife for four weeks. The next time the couple met up was about eight weeks later at Glasgow Airport after Smith had travelled up from Telford. "He was an absolute gentleman," Elizabeth said. She said she had no doubts about the man she later married. Elizabeth suffered from severe migraines and side-effects which included double vision and sickness. However, over a period of time, her symptoms became worse and she was suffering from severe sickness and diarrhoea. "Looking back, my migraines gave him something to work on," Elizabeth said. "On one occasion when I was down at his house I was so ill with sickness and diarrhoea. I was in a dreadful mess and he cleaned it all up. I thought 'you're a keeper'. What guy at the start of a relationship would do that?" About six months into the relationship Elizabeth's health was going quickly downhill. "It got so rapid that that they thought I had early stages of motor neurone disease," she said. "I would be sitting working with my clients and all of a sudden I would feel really dizzy and I would think 'oh no, god' thinking it was my head. "I would go to stand up - then I was out cold, blue-lighted to hospital. "My son thought his mum was dying." Elizabeth's symptoms became so bad she paid to see a private neurologist. "I used to have to go upstairs on my bum because I had no strength, then the sickness and diarrhoea just got worse," she said. "I was in bed for almost two years on and off. I was just so ill I couldn't do anything. It was absolutely horrific." Elizabeth eventually discovered that money was missing from her bank account. "I very foolishly had given him my card number, but were married," she said. Elizabeth said Smith was very upset when she asked him about the money and denied any involvement. He said he did not need any money as the sale of his factory was about to go through. Smith's web of lies unravelled after he staged a break-in at the couple's home. On their way to a new house, Smith had asked Elizabeth to pull the car over and he had run back to their house, leaving her waiting in the car. "After about 10 minutes he came running out saying there had been a break-in," she said. "I had money in a safe and it was lying in the front garden." A few days later, in the presence of family members, Elizabeth said to Smith: 'Thank the Lord you're ok. I felt as if I'd sat out there forever." He had told CID he had noticed the break-in and gone straight back out to the car to tell her. "That was what tripped him up," Elizabeth said. "Money was found in the car. That was when everything unfolded. "My world just collapsed after that." Elizabeth still can't believe she was duped by Smith. "For me there were no signs of anything," she said. "Even about the SAS and everything - that part of his life - at one point I did say to him 'Dave, I haven't seen anything about your past'. He tried to tell me his ex-wife had everything locked in the attic. "He's a 100% 'Walter Mitty character'. He has got caught up completely in his web of lies. "I don't think that man knows what love is. He even took me to Mexico for my 60th birthday but then I found out he had paid for it with my money. "Why didn't he just tell me he worked as a tool-maker in his ex-father-in law's factory? "You never believe that these things can happen to people like us." She added: "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." Norburn, 24, had been offered a new deal by the Silkmen after scoring five goals in 24 league games in 2016-17. However, he has decided to join National League rivals Tranmere, whom he scored against in both legs of the FA Trophy semi-final in March. The former Bristol Rovers and Guiseley player's deal until the end of the 2018-19 season is subject to a medical. "Ollie is a player we watched closely last season and I'm pleased we are able to bring him to the club," Tranmere manager Micky Mellon told the club website. "He fits into the type of player that we want to bring to Tranmere: he's young, hungry and ambitious." Meanwhile, midfielder Lois Maynard has left Tranmere to join Salford City after scoring five goals in 68 appearances for Rovers. Tranmere had been expected to offer new terms to Maynard after losing the League Two play-off final to Forest Green Rovers, but the 28-year-old decided instead to drop down a division and play for Salford, who finished fourth in National League North. In Profitis, north of Thessaloniki, a small number of parents chained up the school gate in protest, waving Greek flags, the AFP news agency reported. Around 100 police officers formed a corridor to escort 40 "puzzled-looking" refugee children inside, it said. In other schools, the new pupils were welcomed without incident. "Our children will be raped and then, who will take responsibility?" AFP quoted one Greek parent at the protest as saying. The Greek education minister, Nikos Filis, said the demonstration was an isolated incident. A statement from the ministry said the welcome in other schools was "enthusiastic". The 1,500 or so pupils who started at 20 schools on Monday are part of a national education programme for migrant children. They received books and school bags before arriving at schools in the afternoon. The pupils will receive lessons in a number of subjects, including the Greek language, during four-hour days after the local schoolchildren finish for the day. The project is also running in six migrant camps. Authorities plan to expand the project across the country in the coming weeks. The UN refugee agency estimates that more than 160,000 people have arrived in Greece across the Mediterranean Sea this year, 28% of whom are children. Doctors describe the results as "good" following Friday's procedure. On Sunday he collapsed at an International Women's Day event in the Zambian capital, Lusaka. In January Mr Lungu, 58, won a narrow election victory, replacing the former president, Michael Sata, who died in October. Doctors have asked the president to return to the hospital in a few weeks for a medical review. The animal was given a temporary home in the town while efforts were made to return it to Leverburgh where it is looked after by local fishermen. Argyll Animal Aid said it was from a group of feral cats that fishermen rely on to control rat and mice populations. The charity helped to arrange its return passage at the weekend. The cat spent a week in Oban, where it was found to be a male rather than a female as was originally thought. He was neutered, before being taken back to Leverburgh. The cat's journey by sea becoming a news story last week helped to attract offers of a lift back home. Jean Sutherland, of Argyll Animal Aid, said the offers had included one from Scottish airline Loganair. She said: "We had various offers from kind folk, including Loganair, but these would have meant involving different people at different stages." A woman called Cathi Bertin offered to take him by car and then by ferry to Harris where she has family. Ms Sutherland said: "Cathi's door to door offer was very much appreciated. He was collected from the ferry on Harris and deposited back with his mates in the feral colony that the fishermen feed in order that the cats stay about and get rid of the rats that would otherwise wreck their nets." The Leverburgh cats are used to moving between fishing boats while they are tied up, said Ms Sutherland. The one that ended up in Oban may have mistaken the yacht as a place to hunt mice. Ms Sutherland added: "All in all an eventful week for one young pussy cat." Thirty-seven thousand people signed a petition to the court against the way the new eurozone bailout fund was set up, and against Chancellor Angela Merkel's plan to get commitments from the governments of the eurozone not to go into debt. Politicians and lawyers from across the political spectrum joined the case against the government - from the left party, Die Linke, to dissidents from within the government party. There have been demonstrations on the steps of the court. On Saturday, hundreds of people chanted: "We are the people". There were placards reading: "Merkel who will pay for this?" The number of interested parties in the hearing is matched by the magnitude of the cause. If the judges take a hard line against the government and in favour of the plaintiffs, then the elaborate and laborious efforts to keep the euro together will be dealt a severe blow, perhaps a fatal one. The case turns on two parts of the euro rescue effort. Firstly, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) - the new bailout fund for eurozone governments in trouble, like Greece. Secondly, the so-called "fiscal pact" by which Chancellor Merkel is trying to get a binding commitment from European Union governments not to go into debt. The plaintiffs claim that Chancellor Merkel has exceeded her power, and they want the court to instruct the president of Germany not to sign the two measures into law because, they say, the measures breach the country's constitution. The "fiscal pact", for example, binds future governments, according to Michael Efler of the More Democracy movement which organised the petitions to the court. He told the BBC: "The problem is that both treaties have no exit clause. That means that even if there is another government that has a different view on the treaties, they couldn't get rid of the treaties and that is not OK in our view. "We want to have a democratic choice and this means that a government or parliament can say 'No' to this treaty or change the treaty, and that's not possible and that's why we try to fight them." So will he win? Few think that the court will block the treaties completely - if it did, then German participation in the eurozone rescue fund would have been declared illegal. The markets would no doubt go into a spin - downwards - and there would be political, and perhaps economic, chaos. More likely is that the judges will say that the treaties are within the constitution - but then put a string of caveats constraining Chancellor Merkel if she, for example, wanted to have the bailout fund expanded. Professor Ingolf Pernice of Humboldt University in Berlin, a lawyer who has argued cases before the Constitutional Court, said that if the court did put new conditions on future changes to the bailout fund, one possibility would be that increasing its size would have to be approved by the Bundestag. "There cannot be any extension without the consent of the German parliament," Professor Humboldt said. Constitutional issues for Merkel Q&A: EU treaty to control budgets That, he felt, would tie the government's hands. On top of that, virtually any significant move by Chancellor Merkel would have to be debated by parliament and that would take time and a lot of political energy. Even though a court decision giving Chancellor Merkel approval of her current policy but with strings attached would be welcomed by the government as a victory, her opponents would draw comfort from it too. Michael Efler of More Democracy said that he expected more attempts by the German government to give more power to the European Union, so any constraints on them would be important. In the end, he said he hoped there would be a "referendum or maybe a better treaty with more parliamentary control, with more transparency and with more people participation". Government MPs are being cautious about saying what will happen if the court rules against the ESM, and so their policy. But a partial victory - the "yes, but" option - would show the strength of German democracy, according to CDU MP Dr Michael Meister. "We have a democracy with balanced power. The government and parliament have to be in line with the constitution, and I think it's a good thing for democracy if we are in line with the constitution. "It shows that in Germany democracy works."

Susan McMahon falsified documents while working as an assistant manager in the trust department of accountancy firm Grant Thornton between 2006 and 2013. The 34-year-old, from Motherwell, was caught when a partner at the firm became suspicious about one payment. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard McMahon, who admitted her guilt, spent the cash on designer goods. The court heard how McMahon falsified documents so her superiors would authorise cheques, believing that trustees had agreed the money would go to various beneficiaries such as Save the Children charity. In one case, the mother-of-three also took £4,000 from a trust set up for three children. Instead of going where the trustees planned, McMahon took the cash herself, transferring funds into accounts held by her and her husband. She spent the money on luxury items and designer clothes, before giving the items away to charity shops to hide her spending from her family. The court heard McMahon's husband had no knowledge of his wife's crimes. She was caught in April 2013 when one of the partners in Grant Thornton authorised a cheque for £15,000 to be paid to the Sports University Scotland, an Aberdeen charity. He became suspicious and carried out checks on the Margaret Murdoch Trust, which McMahon claimed had authorised the payment, and discovered no such payment had been approved. Out of the 12 to 15 trusts administered by McMahon, six had funds belonging to them fraudulently removed and paid out to her or her husband's accounts. The court heard no money has been repaid.

A woman has been jailed for 40 months for embezzling £726,765 from trusts that were set up to help charities.

BBC Sport takes a look at the quirkiest, oddest and most downright brilliant stats from the weekend. Stoke City - no nonsense, direct, a pillar of English footballing traditions? Not Mark Hughes' Stoke City. Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leicester was their 55th Premier League game since an English player scored for them - pulling level with Newcastle's run. Peter Crouch's 86th-minute goal in a 6-1 thumping of Liverpool on 24 May 2015 was the last time an Englishman found the net for the Potters in the league. Newcastle's 55-game run ended when Steven Taylor scored for them in a 3-0 win over Cardiff in May 2014. But the record for the longest English goal drought belongs to Arsenal, standing at 97 games until Theo Walcott's brace in a 2-2 draw with Birmingham in February 2008. The only English outfield players in Stoke's starting XI at the weekend were Ryan Shawcross and Glen Johnson - the last time one of them scored was January 2015 (Shawcross). If your name is N'Golo Kante, there is a good chance you have "win a game of football" pencilled into your diary at regular intervals. It's not been a bad first 18 months in the Premier League for Kante - a championship title with Leicester City, a £30m move to Chelsea and now top of the table at Christmas. The all-action Frenchman also has another feather for his cap - he has the best winning ratio of any current Premier League player with more than 50 appearances to his name. Kante has won 37 of the 54 Premier League games he has featured in - that's a 68.5% win percentage. The next closest is Arsenal's Nacho Monreal with 64.6% and then Manchester City's Yaya Toure and Arsenal's Petr Cech with 64.5%. Kante has been receiving rave reviews for his central midfield performances, and his win rate would suggest he is one of the league's most important players. The 25-year-old was "100%" the best player in the league last season, according to former Leicester and Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. "Kante is an incredible player. His engine is unbelievable. He was top of everything stats-wise last season and does the job of two players," he told BBC Radio 5 live on Friday. "Kante is not a player to score goals but he will win games for you and do more for you than some of the superstar forwards." So, if Kante is the Premier League's current lucky charm, who is top of the all-time list for winning percentages? That title goes to Arjen Robben, who won 55 of his 67 top-flight games with Chelsea between 2004 and 2007 to secure an incredible 82.1% win rate. Kante appears at a respectable ninth on the list, behind some more left-field names such as former Chelsea full-back Paulo Ferreira (72.3%) and ex-Manchester City midfielder Javi Garcia (69.8%). And if you search a bit further down, you will find the former Manchester United pair of Anderson (15th) and Quinton Fortune (16th) sneaking in. Like an angel sitting pretty at the top of a Christmas tree, Chelsea will be at the summit of the league on Christmas Day. It is an omen full of festive cheer for Antonio Conte's men, as they were league leaders at Christmas for each of their four title victories - 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10 and 2014-15. But the team top on Christmas Day has only gone on to win the championship 50% of the time in Premier League history - 12 out of 24. Curiously, Arsenal were not top at Christmas for any of their three title wins in 1997-98, 2001-02 and 2003-04. The biggest capitulation for a Christmas leader was from Aston Villa in 1998-99, when they dropped from first to sixth. Liverpool have the most failures at trying to convert a top spot at Christmas into a title, with three. At the other end of the table, there is bad news for Hull City fans. Having not been bottom all season, they finally dropped into that position on Saturday with a defeat at West Ham. The side bottom of the Premier League on Christmas Day have gone on to be relegated in 21 of 24 seasons [87.5% of the time]. The only teams to be bottom at Christmas and not be relegated were West Brom (2004-05), Sunderland (2013-14) and Leicester (2014-15). Jamie Vardy's sending off for his tackle on Mame Diouf in Leicester's draw with Stoke on Saturday might have been contentious, but one thing is not debatable - he is only one of two men to receive two Premier League red cards in 2016. The other is Victor Wanyama, who was dismissed in January and February, before leaving Southampton for Tottenham. Only four players have ever received three red cards in a calendar year: An honourable mention must be given to Arsenal's Granit Xhaka, who was sent off three times for Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga last year. Vardy's sending off looked to have scuppered Leicester's chances of taking anything from Stoke, as Claudio Ranieri's men quickly found themselves 2-0 down. But, against the odds, the 10 men of the Foxes scored two late goals to snatch an unlikely point. It was only the sixth time in Premier League history that a team has managed to pull back a two-goal deficit while playing with a one-man disadvantage. The most recent was in August 2010, when Bolton were 2-0 down against Birmingham with Jussi Jaaskelainen sent off. But a Kevin Davies penalty and Robbie Blake goal rescued a point. But the most impressive came in April 2003, when Arsenal, with Abou Diaby sent off, overturned Bolton's 2-0 lead to win 3-2 through William Gallas, Robin van Persie and a Jlloyd Samuel own goal. It is 11 Premier League wins on the bounce now for Antonio Conte's Chelsea, but how many more victories do they need to break the record? Arsenal have the longest run of consecutive wins in one top-flight season - 13 in their 2001-02 title-winning campaign. And then there are six separate times, including Chelsea's current run, when a club has gone on an 11-game winning streak in one season. So, wins for Chelsea at home to Bournemouth and Stoke City and then away at Tottenham on 4 January would give them the longest run of victories in any season. It adds a bit more spice to that London derby. Have a glance at the list of longest runs below - you will notice Liverpool had a 10-game and then a nine-game winning streak in 2005-06 but they still only finished third.

France's Melina Robert-Michon threw a national record 66.73m to take the silver. Cuban Denia Caballero, the 2015 world champion, got the bronze with 65.34m.

Liam, Mason, Jacob and William rounded out the top five. Emma is on top again for the first time since 2008 followed by Olivia, Sophia, Isabella and Ava. Religion and pop culture have been influences for baby naming trends throughout history. Emma's popularity was influenced by the TV show "Friends" in 2002 when one of the characters, Rachel, named her daughter Emma. "In this era when trends come and go faster than ever before, that's incredible staying power," said Laura Wattenberg, founder of BabynameWizard.com. "Emma seems to be the only name that America has been able to agree on in recent years." When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced on Monday that they were naming their baby daughter Charlotte, many, including Jennifer Moss, founder and CEO of babynames.com expected the name would hit the top in the coming years. Even before the announcement, Charlotte cracked the top 10 for the first time, at No. 10. John and Mary were the top baby names in 1880, the first year for which the Social Security Administration website provides an annual list. John is now number 26 and Mary has fallen to number 120. Mithali Raj said she was an avid reader and it calmed "jitters" before her big moment. Her performance helped India beat England by 35 runs during the tournament's opening day in Derby, and she also broke a world record. She has been nicknamed "Captain Cool" by fans. In a post-game interview, she said the book was by 13th-century Persian poet Rumi. She borrowed it from a coach as she was not allowed to bring her normal electronic e-reader with her. The game saw her become the first woman to score seven consecutive half-centuries in one-day international cricket. She scored 71 runs. India's supporters expressed their admiration on social media. She had already won praise for the way she answered a question at a press event on the eve of the tournament. When asked who her favourite men's cricketer was, she replied: "Do you ask the same question to a male cricketer? Do you ask them who their favourite female cricketer is?" Huffington Post India said it was "the perfect clap-back for a question that reeked of gender bias". Raj has said women's cricket struggles to get the same recognition as men's, but she believes television coverage and social-media buzz is helping. For the Women's World Cup, which is currently taking placed in England and Wales, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has created special Twitter emojis of all eight female captains. They appear automatically when users type in their names with a hashtag. The ICC said this is part of their "unprecedented coverage of the women's game". When a television interviewer asked Raj how she felt about this, she did an impression of a shocked emoji face, and then smiled. "It feels great to have an emoji on your name and it is good for women's cricket. It gives importance to women cricketers," she said. Tries from Johnny Sexton and Richardt Strauss put Leinster in control and another score by the hooker helped extend the lead to 17-0 by the break. Jack McGrath, Isa Nacewa, Mick Kearney, Noel Reid and Garry Ringrose added second-half tries for Leinster. Marco Lazzaroni, Matteo Muccignat and Enrico Bacchin replied for Treviso. Despite Treviso's late rally, Zebre's 47-22 win over the Dragons means that they clinch the European Champions Cup spot available to the leading Italian club. Leinster, chasing a third Pro 12 title in four years and a fifth overall, will renew acquaintances with Ulster in the play-offs, having beaten the Belfast outfit in the semi-finals in 2011 and 2014, and the final in 2013. Nacewa's quick feet helped set up Sexton's opening ninth-minute try as the veteran's quick feet helped open up the Treviso midfield. Forward power yielded both of Strauss' first-half tries with Sexton finally landing a conversion at the third attempt to leave Leinster 17-0 ahead at the break. Nacewa was again the provider for McGrath's bonus-point clinching 45th-minute try and the wing added the first of his four second-half conversion with Sexton having departed the fray. The New Zealand-born Fiji international notched a try of his own in the 50th minute after starting the attack with a clever cross-kick before Mick Kearney quickly added Leinster's sixth touchdown. After Leinster coach Leo Cullen emptied his bench, the home side's performance became somewhat ragged as Lazzaroni, Muccignat and Bacchin notched Treviso tries. But Leinster continued to look dangerous in attack themselves as Reid and Ringrose were able to bring their try-count up to eight. Leinster: R Kearney; I Nacewa (capt), G Ringrose, B Te'o, D Kearney; J Sexton, E Reddan; J McGrath, R Strauss, M Ross; D Toner, M Kearney; R Ruddock, J Murphy, J Heaslip (capt). Replacements: S Cronin, P Dooley, T Furlong, R Molony, D Ryan, L McGrath, C Marsh, N Reid. Benetton Treviso: J Hayward; L Nitoglia, T Iannone, A Sgarbi, A Esposito; L McLean, E Gori; M Zanusso, O Gega, S Ferrari, M Fuser, F Paulo; F Minto, A Zanni (capt), A Steyn. Replacements: L Bigi, M Muccignat, 18 S Manu, M Lazzaroni, A De Marchi, A Lucchese, J Ambrosini, E Bacchin. The Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library said it was investigating the "misuse" of computers, after a child spotted someone viewing the images. "Clearly we don't want this type of content being viewed at our libraries," a spokesman for Norfolk County Council's library service said. "We are always grateful to library users who report misuse." The spokesman said the images were viewed via social media sites, which unlike other websites were not blocked by a filtering product. "The huge majority of our computer users greatly value access to social media sites and use our computers appropriately," he said. "Put simply, it is a choice of allowing access to social media sites or banning them altogether." The report by conservation group WWF scored 23 countries "facing high levels of poaching and trafficking" of these items. Vietnam was the "top destination for rhino horn", fuelling a poaching crisis in South Africa, the report said. Laos and Mozambique failed on ivory trade compliance and enforcement. WWF describes the 23 countries assessed as "top-range transit and destination countries implicated in illegal trade of elephant, rhino and tiger products". The report rated countries for each animal, saying "the scorecard seeks to differentiate between countries where it is actively being countered from those where current efforts are entirely inadequate". Among destination countries, Vietnam failed on "key aspects of compliance and enforcement" for the rhino and the tiger-part trades. "It is time for Vietnam to face the fact that its illegal consumption of rhino horn is driving the widespread poaching of endangered rhinos in Africa, and that it must crack down on the illegal rhino horn trade," Elisabeth McLellan, WWF Global Species Programme manager, said in a statement . Vietnam's decision in 2007 to establish "pilot breeding farms" for tigers had "undermined" its efforts in the illegal trade of tiger products, the report also said. As for those classified under origin and transit countries, Mozambique failed on rhinos and elephants, and Laos on tigers and elephants. The WWF report urged China and Thailand, top destinations for illegal African ivory, to tighten enforcement. It also commended progress made, even as it added that "major prosecutions for wildlife crime are still rare". "There were important advances in compliance in 2010-2012, with introduction of stricter legislation, wildlife trade controls and penalties in a number of countries, including China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Nigeria, Russia, South Africa and Zimbabwe," it said. The three animal species listed have been dwindling in numbers. WWF says that there were 262 South African rhinos poached in the first half of 2012, while ivory from 2,500 elephants was seized in 2011. The entranceway was a gathering place for students on graduation day until it was removed for restoration work. Now the 19th Century carved sandstone and iron railings will be sold in Summer Place Auctions on 21 September. It is estimated the entranceway, which is over 53ft (16m( wide and nearly 10ft (3m) high, could sell for up to £120,000. The university's McEwan hall and Bristo Square are being redeveloped in a £33m project which means the entranceway had to be removed. McEwan hall was built and presented to the University in 1897. He announced he was quitting playing in June because of a hip injury and was told he would take up a coaching position which is now confirmed. The 35-year-old has taken up an assistant coach role with England but will mainly work with Saints Academy. "I'm really pleased to remain at the club and help nurture the future talent," he told the club website. "I'm here to mentor and develop the youngsters to not only become better players but responsible and professional people too." Subhaan Ali was found four hours after he was seen going into the water at Stone Row Way, Rotherham, on Thursday. A firefighter previously suggested the boy had been involved in "tombstoning", which involves jumping or diving into water from a height. South Yorkshire Police said there were no suspicious circumstances but was continuing to investigate. Det Insp Graham Stead said: "We will continue to provide support to the family and provide the necessary information to the coroner." The incident happened on The Promenade in Tredegar at 09:45 BST on Tuesday. The pedestrian suffered severe head injuries and was taken to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff where he later died. A 54-year-old local man has been arrested on suspicion of death by careless driving and is currently in police custody. Gwent Police has asked anyone who witnessed the collision is to call 101 quoting log 89 14/04/15. The wedding occurs in the third book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series and the third season of the TV show. He says: "I couldn't write it when I got to it. I skipped over it - I finished the entire rest of the book with a hole in it." Major characters die at the wedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, in one of the most shocking plots of the series. Speaking to ABC News, Martin admits he struggled killing some of the characters off. "I knew it was coming but it was very hard to write and was the hardest thing I've ever wrote. "I went back and made myself write that scene because it was painful to kill these characters I'd created and lived with for so long. " Viewers who hadn't read the books were shocked with what happens at the wedding, but Martin says he expected it. "When the book came out we got a tremendous reaction to it. I got angry letters that said 'I'll never read your work again'. The TV show version is 13 years later and I knew, having been through it once already, we would get a similar big reaction." The Winds of Winter, the upcoming sixth novel of the series doesn't have a release date yet. It's thought there will be seven books in total from the series. The fifth season of Game of Thrones will air next year but some fans are worried the show will catch up with the books. It's something Martin is also concerned about. "The show is definitely catching up with the books. There's no doubt the show is moving faster than I am writing the books. "There was a certain point a few years ago when I was freaking out about that. My obligation is to finish the books as strongly as I can. I can't speed that process up by wishing it was speeded up."

"There was a struggle between Chelsea and [Manchester] United but, for me, Chelsea has the best project. It's a wonderful club." Chelsea are reportedly paying £32m to sign the talented youngster, who added on French radio station RMC: "The [Chelsea] team is young and I have a better chance to play there. "If I play well enough at Chelsea, I could win my place in the starting team." Hazard won the league and cup double with Lille in 2010-11 and, in his final season at the Ligue 1 club, he scored 21 goals in 48 games. Hazard signed off by scoring a hat-trick in his final game against Nancy last month. But he failed to live up to his reputation when producing a quiet performance as Belgium lost to England at Wembley on Saturday. His appearance took his tally to 28 caps. He joins Germany international Marko Marin as a second major new addition to the Chelsea squad since the January transfer window. The eight-vehicle crash happened on the A34 northbound between Chieveley and West Ilsley in Berkshire on 10 August. Tomasz Kroker, 30, of Trajan Walk, Andover, is charged with four counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He was remanded in custody to attend Reading Crown Court on 10 October. Tracy Houghton, 45, from Dunstable, her two sons, Ethan, 13, and Joshua, 11, and her partner's daughter Aimee Goldsmith, 11, died when their car was in a collision with a lorry between the West Ilsley and Ridgeway junctions at about 17:10 BST. A man was flown to hospital by air ambulance with serious injuries. A further 11 people sustained minor injuries in the crash. The 31-year-old joined the Bantams from Blackpool in July 2015 after a successful loan spell. The former Middlesbrough man made 28 league appearances last season as the Valley Parade side finished fifth before losing to Millwall in the League One play-off final. German back-up goalkeeper Rouven Sattelmaier, 29, has also signed a one-year deal with Stuart McCall's side. They start the season with a home game against Blackpool on Saturday, 5 August. Prosecutors pushed for his conviction, despite his legal team saying last week that a deal had been reached with the generals to drop the case. A rights group said he had been sentenced after an "absurd process". Rafael Marques de Morais is a long-standing critic of President Jose Eduardo dos Santos' 35-year rule. He spent 43 days in prison, including 11 in solitary confinement, in 1999 after he published the article, The Lipstick of the Dictatorship, in a private Angolan newspaper. The latest case against Mr Morais came after he wrote a book, Blood Diamonds: Torture and Corruption in Angola. He accused seven generals of being linked to murder, torture and land grabs in Angola's lucrative diamond fields. The generals denied the allegation, and sued Mr Morais. Last week, his legal team said he had agreed not to republish the book, in exchange for the charges being dropped. Campaign group Index on Censorship said on its website that it was "appalled to hear that Rafael has been sentenced after an absurd process". "This is a clear violation of rights to free expression, to a free press and to a fair trial," its chief executive Jodie Ginsberg said. In March, Index on Censorship gave Mr Morais a freedom of expression award for his work as a journalist and human rights activist in Angola. Sean Lynch, 23, used his fingers and thumbs to damage his eyes while being held in Maghaberry Prison, a high-security jail in Northern Ireland. A report by NI's Prisoner Ombudsman has said Mr Lynch inflicted "extreme and shocking" self-harm over three days. Mr Lynch's father said his son was "neglected and failed". The ombudsman's report said on the third day of the "ordeal", two prison officers watched as he injured himself on more than 20 occasions over a period of an hour. "I wouldn't stand back and watch a dog do what Sean was doing, " Mr Lynch said. He said that "everything had been taken" away from his son and that the report offered "no comfort". "His sight is completely gone, his life is completely gone," he said. "Why didn't they just enter the cell and handcuff him?" He said the Prison Service had not offered any apology to his son or family. "The only thing we have had from the Prison Service is a court summons for Sean for allegedly assaulting a prison officer." The report said the incident in June 2014 followed the deterioration of Mr Lynch's mental health in the community "and increasingly bizarre behaviour in prison". Despite a detailed forensic medical officer's assessment, suggesting that formal psychiatric assessment was an "absolute necessity", the prisoner was treated as a "routine" referral. The director general of the prison service, Sue McAllister, said it was the most extreme case of self-harming she had experienced in 30 years working in prisons. "But this is not about apportioning blame or apologising," she said. She offered to meet Sean Lynch and his family if they wished. On a bad day, the security checks could add a good hour to a round trip between Belfast and Dublin. Some in the Remain camp argued that a vote to exit the European Union would see a return of permanent border checkpoints. Those in the Leave camp, including Secretary of State Theresa Villiers, insisted that was nonsense. EU Referendum results So what now? The honest answer is that nobody quite knows. Those who dismiss claims that a "hard border" could return point to what is called the Common Travel Area between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which allows the free movement of people and goods. There have been such agreements, which pre-dated the European Union (EU), that allowed easier cross-border movement. However, it is unclear how those arrangements will be affected by the UK's withdrawal from the EU. When the United Kingdom formally exits the EU, it is possible the EU will insist on some form of checks on the movement of people for security reasons, and goods, for the purposes of gathering any taxes due on products entering its territory from a non-member state. However, there would be enormous pressure on the Irish government to resist any EU demands for permanent border checkpoints for domestic political reasons. When he began talking to Sinn Féin in the hope of influencing republicans to end their campaign of violence, former SDLP leader John Hume argued that the border was irrelevant and did not exist in practical terms. The sight of armed guards at permanent border checkpoints would make that border highly visible and hugely controversial. Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny said on Friday that the Irish government will seek to maintain the Common Travel Area. That clearly suggests he does not envisage a "hard border". It is unclear at this stage what impact Brexit might have on policing arrangements in Northern Ireland. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) can currently share intelligence with other European police forces and access central data bases through Europol, and can participate in joint investigation teams. It can also use European Arrest Warrants to ask other police forces to arrest suspects on its behalf. Likewise, other European police forces regularly ask the PSNI to act on their behalf. The future of all of those arrangements and structures is now unclear. It is possible they may all have to re-negotiated by the British government with each individual member state in the EU. The PSNI hopes that will not be necessary and that the EU will recognise the mutual benefits of keeping existing arrangements in place. But nothing is clear, and the fog of uncertainty is unlikely to be lifted anytime soon. Get the results in full. The Ocean Film Festival World Tour was brought to Scotland for the first time last year and visited Edinburgh and Inverness. It will be at Edinburgh's Festival Theatre on 14 September and return to Inverness's Eden Court on 15 September. The University of Glasgow will stage the festival on 22 October. Venues in England and Wales are also part of the tour. Many of the short films deal with the pursuit of water sports and expeditions in harsh environments. These include Kayaking the Aleutians about British explorers Justine Curgenven and Sarah Outen's bid to paddle 1,553 miles (2,500km) along the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska.

Janet Yellen told the Senate Banking Committee that a split would lead to uncertainty that could create market instability. She said the Fed would closely monitor the vote, which could impact global investor confidence. Supporters of Brexit argue the UK would be more prosperous outside the EU. Ms Yellen said a UK exit from the EU was unlikely to send the US economy into a recession. But it could result in a "flight to safety" by investors that could push up the value of the dollar and other currencies that are considered havens in time of uncertainty. She stressed that she was not offering advice to the British public but "simply saying the decision could have economic consequences to the US economy". Last month, official figures showed a sharp slowdown in US job creation. The Labour Department reported that employers added just 38,000 jobs last month, the fewest since September 2010. The jobless rate fell to 4.7% but much of that was caused by individuals leaving the labour market altogether. While the job gains across all demographic groups in the US have slowed, Ms Yellen said it was "troubling" that unemployment among African Americans and Hispanics remained below the national average. Persistently low inflation and weak productivity growth in the US were noted as concerns for the Fed's board. Ms Yellen said a lack of investment had contributed to the weak growth. Earlier this month the Fed opted not to raise interest rates. The Fed raised interest rates by 0.25 percentage points for the first time in nine years last December and has left them unchanged since. Ms Yellen said the central bank was likely to keep rates low in the near term. But she warned that low interest rates left the Fed with fewer options to address an economic downturn. "I would not at this time say that the threats from low rates to financial stability are elevated. But, of course, it is something that we need to watch because it can have that impact," she said. One positive sign for the US economy that she pointed to were gains in household spending. Low oil prices and wage growth have helped, but international uncertainties remain that could derail trade and economic growth. Ms Yellen cited China's efforts to rebalance its economy towards more domestic spending as one vulnerability to the global economy. "In the current environment of sluggish growth, low inflation, and already very accommodative monetary policy in many advanced economies, investor perceptions of and appetite for risk can change abruptly," she added. That's not surprising. Complicated and controversial, cannabis is revealed by recent science to have a dual personality, with a dark side and a more positive one. Radio 4's PM programme is this week running a whole series on cannabis, and the debate surrounding it. Key to understanding this strange plant are two of the ingredients that make it up, known by their initials as THC and CBD. I asked Prof Val Curran of University College London to describe how they work and she came up with a memorable answer: "In a way, THC and CBD are a bit like yin and yang. The THC makes you stoned, but it can also make you anxious. It can also make you feel a bit psychotic, and it will seriously impair your memory. "The other side of the yin/yang is CBD, which has almost the opposite effects. CBD calms you down, it has anti-psychotic properties and it also offsets the effects on memory, so that on CBD-containing cannabis you're less likely to forget what's going on." So the first step to understanding cannabis is to realise how it can vary, how different types contain very different quantities of these polar opposites, with dramatically different outcomes. The weed so familiar to many of my generation was characterised by a relatively balanced amount of THC and CBD. Today, the vast majority of cannabis on sale on the streets is unrecognisably stronger. Known as skunk, it contains a far higher proportion of THC - as much as 15% - which produces a much more powerful high, making it more appealing for users. But, at the same time, because it hardly contains any of the CBD that might lessen its effects, the risks are correspondingly greater. Prof Curran is among those worried about its potency. "What concerns me is that on this high-THC skunk, people will experience more memory problems, which could affect how well they do at school. And in terms of addiction, 10% of people who use it will become addicted to the drug." According to a study by two researchers at UCL, Dr Tom Freeman and Dr Adam Winstock, the strongest cannabis increases the risk of addiction, along with memory loss and paranoia. And in a trial to explore ways of helping addicts, they are giving drug users medication based on cannabis itself. The hope is that administering doses of CBD, the more benign ingredient of cannabis, might make it easier for habitual users to wean themselves off the lure of the more potent element, THC. Dr Freeman told the BBC: "We think that CBD can reverse long-term changes which happen when you smoke cannabis repeatedly, and in people who smoke a lot of cannabis it'll help them quit. "It blocks the effects of THC and it reduces anxiety and paranoia. If this trial is successful, then we will have found the first effective drug treatment for cannabis dependence." Meanwhile, new evidence has surfaced that will stir the long-running debate over whether - or to what extent - cannabis can trigger psychosis. New research published this week in the Lancet Psychiatry suggests a connection, a finding which is most relevant to people already vulnerable to mental illness. The study, conducted in south London, involved some 800 people - about half of them users, the rest not. One of the authors, Prof Sir Robin Murray of King's College London, says it's clear that regular use of highly potent skunk has a real impact. "We found that smoking cannabis, particularly of the high-potency forms, was associated with an increased risk. "If you smoke high-potency skunk at all, then you are three times more likely to be psychotic. If you smoke high-potency cannabis every day, you are five times more likely to be psychotic." And at this point we come back to that yin and yang of cannabis. While this new research finds that the strongest cannabis, laden with THC, can be linked to psychosis, it turns out that the gentler twin, CBD, might possibly be useful in treating it. Prof Murray, though cautious, highlights recent studies. "If you give THC to normal volunteers, you can make them psychotic, but if you pre-treat them with CBD, you can prevent that happening. "So this made us think - would it be possible to actually treat psychosis with CBD? So there's one encouraging study, which suggests that CBD is useful in the treatment of psychosis, but it's still very early days yet." So running in parallel with concerns about cannabis is another world of optimism about its uses. In Colorado, there is much excitement about a medication called Charlotte's Web, derived from cannabis and named after a girl who took it as a treatment for her epilepsy. Such is the potential of what's seen as a wonder drug that the Mattison family sold up their business in Tennessee and moved to Colorado purely so that their daughter Millie, who's two years old and epileptic, could receive Charlotte's Web. Her seizures, soon after birth, were so severe that she had been given very little chance of surviving. But her mother Nicole told me that the drug proved immediately beneficial, transforming Millie's life almost at a stroke. "It's miraculous. The first time we gave her oil, within 15 minutes her eyes were open, and I almost felt like I was in a movie. "It was crazy, you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it." Here in the UK, the only legal medicine derived from cannabis is for sufferers of multiple sclerosis (MS), a product called Sativex made by GW Pharma. But now the company, the only one with a licence to grow cannabis in the UK, has developed another formulation which is being tested to treat epileptic conditions like Millie's. The trial, with 80 patients, is now in its second stage and is being run by the University of Edinburgh. The scientist in charge of the process, Dr Richard Chin, says that so far the results look promising, not just to control seizures but - remarkably - to prevent them as well. "One of the interesting things about cannabidiol (CBD) is that it shows not just anti-seizure effects, but it also curiously seems to have an effect on cognitive and behavioural problems, which are very highly represented in people with epilepsy. "So it doesn't seem, on preliminary data, as if it's just an anti-seizure medication. It may actually be an anti-epilepsy medication in its wider sense, and what I would hope is that it may open up a completely new avenue of treatment options for patients with epilepsy." For thousands of years cannabis was used medically. But only now is research revealing why that's possible and how it can be put to best use. These are relatively early days but, on the horizon, researchers see potential for the CBD in cannabis to help with everything from easing the pain of cancer to tackling autism. At the same time, science is also unpicking the full implications of the potent stuff being dealt on our streets. You can listen to my full report tonight on the PM programme on BBC Radio 4 as part of Cannabis Week. Follow me on Twitter: @davidshukmanbbc The Russian-born 43-year-old is part of a six-strong Team GB shooting squad and one of nine Welsh athletes already selected for the Olympics. She finished 14th at both Beijing 2008 and London 2012, but Allen hopes she is in a better position this time around. "Experiences are very useful - there's lots of things you learn," she said. "Obviously there is still a few months to go and lots of preparation to be done, so I'm just in the working mode. "All the excitement will probably come closer to the event. "I started my training three and a half weeks ago. I think it's going quite well." Allen, who lives in Blackwood, was part of the British skeet team that won gold at the 2014 World Championships. She also won individual silver in 2014 to go with a bronze at the 2013 event in Peru. Previously, Allen was a bronze medallist at the 2006 Commonwealth Games when she competed for England, and in 2014 won silver at the Glasgow Games after qualifying for Wales through residency. She is coached by her husband, Malcolm Allen, and says their different characters help in training. "I'm quite outgoing, he is a bit more reserved and it works well because he is the thinker," said Allen. "I am really happy to follow his lead because he knows what he is talking about. I have 100% confidence in his coaching ability, but also he knows me as a person which is important." Allen finished 23rd at the recent Rio test event and hopes the experience will stand her in good stead on her return to the Brazilian city in August. "If you've never been, you don't know what to expect so you need to be there to see what the range is like, the background, the rest area," she said. "Silly things as that but it's so important to feel comfortable in your environment." The firm did not say whether its engineers had identified what caused one of its engines to break apart on a Qantas flight last Thursday. But the British firm said the problem was specific to the type of engine being used on the plane. Shares in Rolls-Royce, which had fallen by about 10% since the incident over Singapore, rose on the announcement. The firm's stock ended the day 2.7% higher. On Monday, Qantas said it had found "slight anomalies" on three A380 engines and was keeping its fleet of six A380s grounded for further checks. Tests have uncovered oil leaks in the engines of three of its grounded A380s. Rolls-Royce said it was clear that the incident was specific to the Trent 900 type of engine which powered the A380 Qantas flight. It said it had agreed a series of checks and inspections - which would allow airlines to resume flying the planes. "We are working in close cooperation with Airbus, our customers and the authorities, and as always safety remains our highest priority," it said. Other airlines using Roll-Royce powered A380s have continued to fly them without any major disruption. Industry expert Sean Maffett suggested that this may be because the engines on the Qantas planes are slightly different. He told BBC News that they have bespoke electronic controls which allow them to take off in hotter temperatures and at higher weights for longer distances. This may explain why Qantas has still grounded its flights, he suggests. Rolls-Royce refused to comment. All of Qantas's six A380 planes have Rolls-Royce engines. The concern is that the engine failure could have been a sign of one or more major problems, which could hit Rolls-Royce's reputation and future sales. Rolls-Royce, which is working with Qantas on the investigation, has seen its market value fall more than £1.5bn since the incident. However, after falling by as much as 3.4% in early trading on Monday, Rolls' shares clawed back some losses after it announced a £350m service contract from EgyptAir. The Airbus A380 superjumbo uses one of two engines. The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine has been installed in more than half of the A380s currently in service. The remainder use an engine manufactured by General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. Their engines have not been implicated in this recent safety scare. The two businesses are committed to engines for a further 197 planes on order. If it turns out that the Rolls-Royce engine is not fit for purpose and the engine is withdrawn, Rolls would have to offer a refund for the engines sold to its Airbus A380 customers. What is more, Rolls Royce would lose the income that would come from servicing these engines - typically over 40 years - which makes up a big chunk of the engine-makers' revenue. Shares in EADS, the aerospace giant that owns Airbus, have also been falling following last week's emergency landing by the Qantas A380. On Monday, its shares ended up 0.6%. The polls come just as a campaign to remove the incumbent president, Otto Perez Molina, for alleged corruption has culminated in his resignation. Mr Perez Molina stepped down on Wednesday night after a federal judge issued a warrant for his arrest in the wake of Congress stripping him of immunity from prosecution. He continues to deny the charges, which relate to a massive customs duties fraud. Will the corruption scandal affect the elections? Guatemalan newspaper elPeriodico believes so and speaks of a "climate of uncertainty and discontent". Daily Siglo Veintiuno predicted a high number of abstentions caused by "people's weariness with a political class that they describe as 'corrupt'". And it is not just the corruption scandal which triggered the resignations of the president and the vice-president they are concerned about. According to findings published by the UN-backed International Commission Against Impunity in July, some of the main contenders in the forthcoming elections have benefited from illicit funds and have ties to drug-trafficking and money-laundering groups. But Guatemalan daily Prensa Libre is hopeful that the fact that Congress stripped Mr Perez Molina of his immunity will encourage a higher voter turnout, "as a sign of confidence in the system". What are the other issues? President Perez Molina came to power in 2012 "on a promise of security". Among other things, he promised zero tolerance for crime, the creation of maximum-security prisons and a professional police force. "But little or nothing has been achieved," according to Guatemalan daily La Hora, with crime rife and convicted criminals continuing to operate from behind bars. The police force remains poorly trained and ill-equipped. There has been little progress in reforming it, partly due to corruption. The poor living conditions of Guatemala's indigenous peoples, wide-spread poverty and the reform of the electoral process are also important issues. Who are the leading candidates? There are 14 presidential candidates but Manuel Baldizon from the centre-right Renewed Democratic Freedom party (Lider) has been leading the polls in the final week. However, his chances may be hampered by his choice of running mate, Edgar Barquin. Mr Barquin was recently stripped of his parliamentary immunity over allegations of money laundering. Mr Baldizon describes himself as "a true believer in private property, the honest generation of wealth, the free market, free competition, employment generation". His nearest rival is actor Jimmy Morales, who opposes same-sex marriage, abortion and the legalization of drugs. Opinion polls suggest that no candidate will receive the more than 50% of the total vote needed to win in the first round. if a runoff is necessary, it will be held on 25 October.

Dr Jenkins died in Barnard Castle, County Durham, on Sunday morning. He had been living with Alzheimer's disease for many years. The cleric and theologian was Bishop of Durham from 1984 until 1994. He was dubbed the "unbelieving bishop" after saying he did not believe God would have arranged a virgin birth and the resurrection. After retiring he took on the post of honorary assistant bishop in Ripon and Leeds. Before becoming a bishop, Dr Jenkins was a professor of theology at the University of Leeds, and spent 15 years prior to that as a fellow and chaplain of Queen's College, Oxford. York Minster was struck by lightning and burst into flames just days after his consecration in 1984. The events led some to believe that the fire was a sign of divine wrath in outrage at his appointment as bishop. Dr Jenkins was satirised in television puppet show Spitting Image, being depicted in one episode persuading God to become an atheist. He served in Durham during the miners' strike in the 1980s and often joined the miners on marches. He was an open critic of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's policies and she was said to have thought of Dr Jenkins as a "cuckoo in the establishment nest". The bishop, who was born in Bromley in south London, went on to write Market Whys And Human Wherefores: Thinking Again About Markets, Politics, And People about the deficiencies of economic theory. He leaves behind four children. A funeral will be held at Durham Cathedral at a later date, his family said. The 11 members of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) were given jail terms of between seven and 20 years over clashes at a protest in Phnom Penh last year, defence lawyers said. The clashes erupted during rallies against the closure of the capital's designated protest site, Freedom Park. A rights group called the proceedings a "show trial" to intimidate the CNRP. Cambodia became a multi-party democracy in 1993, but opponents accuse Prime Minister Hun Sen of running a violent and authoritarian system. Hun Sen, who heads the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), has led the country for the last 30 years. The CPP won disputed general elections in 2013, taking 68 seats compared with 55 for the CNRP. The CNRP initially boycotted its parliamentary seats, ending it last year following an agreement with the CPP. In July 2014, protests erupted over a government decision to close Freedom Park, leading to violent clashes and tear gas and batons being deployed. Several people were injured. Florida officials have reported nine cases of leprosy already this year - double the normal rate. Leprosy is a bacterial disease that affects the skin and nerves. While the risk of contracting leprosy from an armadillo is low, health officials advise against touching the animals. The disease can be spread through saliva. Armadillos sometimes spit when cornered or caged. Most of the population is immune to leprosy - also known as Hansen's disease - and the disease is treatable. However, leprosy can be life-threatening if left untreated. Originally from South America, armadillos are found in many southern states in the US, most notably in Texas. The star said he was "very chuffed" about the honour, which was first reported in the press at the weekend. Speaking to Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 on Tuesday, he said he had not expected the accolade. "It's not something you think about really when you grow up in Dudley. But it's a fantastic thing," he said. The honours will be officially announced on Friday. Henry said: "I'm being pummelled from all sides by my family, saying, 'Do we get some land? Do we get a castle now? Do we get 100 men in plate armour following us around Dudley?' "I'm very pleased. And my mum would have loved it. "It is a wonderful thing and my family are really, really chuffed. My friends have not stopped ringing up and saying congratulations. It is an extraordinary thing and I'm very chuffed." Until the Queen's Birthday Honours List is officially published, the names are kept secret and the people being honoured are told not to make the news public. But last weekend, a number of Sunday newspapers reported that Lenny Henry was to receive a knighthood. There have been leaks before. Last year, the Cabinet Office, which co-ordinates the honours, said there would be an investigation after more than half a dozen names including Joan Collins and James Corden were leaked in advance. But even after such leaks, it's almost unheard of for the person being honoured to then publicly confirm the news before the honours list is officially published. Henry found fame on TV talent show New Faces in 1975 before starring in children's favourite Tiswas and sketch shows including Three of a Kind and his own long-running Lenny Henry Show. In the 1990s, he wrote and starred in the sitcom Chef! He also acted in BBC drama Hope and Glory and earned acclaim for his stage performances in plays including Othello and The Comedy Of Errors. The 56-year-old can currently be seen playing a gardener with Asperger's Syndrome in the third series of BBC One's lottery drama The Syndicate. In recent years, he has led a campaign for greater diversity on British TV. As a charity fundraiser, he co-founded Comic Relief, which has raised more than £1bn over the past three decades. Henry said the honour was "for everybody who's helped make Comic Relief what it is". He added: "I think it's for all of us and that's what I'm pleased about. The thing said 'services to charity'. Well that's not just me. "That's everybody who works at Comic Relief and has helped us raise over £1bn. It's a huge huge thank you. It's for us, not just for me." Henry is the latest high-profile honours recipient whose identity has been leaked to the press in advance of the official announcement. After leaks of the last New Year's Honours, Sir Bob Kerslake, the outgoing head of the Civil Service, said there would be an inquiry into how the names came out. Labour is calling on the Take That star to hand back the OBE he received in the Queen's Birthday Honours List. He is facing questions about money he is alleged to have invested in a tax scheme - Icebreaker 2 - being investigated by HM Revenue and Customs. There is no suggestion the scheme is illegal but it could still be closed down by HMRC at a tax tribunal. Mr Cameron said he was not going to give a "running commentary" on people's tax affairs - but he had made an exception for comedian Jimmy Carr because "it was a particularly egregious example of an avoidance scheme that seemed to me to be wrong". Mr Carr earlier admitted he had "made a terrible error of judgement" over using a legal tax avoidance scheme after criticism from the prime minister. Labour leader Ed Miliband opted not to join in with criticism of Jimmy Carr's tax arrangements, saying: "I'm not in favour of tax avoidance obviously, but I don't think it is for politicians to lecture people about morality." But Labour has now accused Mr Cameron of having a partial view of "what's dodgy in the tax system". Shadow commons leader Angela Eagle said: "The prime minister rushed to the TV studios to condemn the tax avoidance scheme used by Jimmy Carr but he did not take the opportunity to condemn as morally repugnant the tax avoidance scheme used by Conservative supporter Gary Barlow, who's given a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Take That'. "If it's all so morally repugnant, why has he just been given an OBE in the birthday honours list?" Shadow treasury minister Catherine McKinnell said that even though he had done nothing illegal, Mr Barlow should return his OBE. "If he's using a tax avoidance scheme then, yes, I think he shouldn't be rewarded with this national honour because it doesn't send out the right messages to ordinary people who are paying their fair share of tax," she told the BBC News Channel. She stressed that "we haven't got the full story about what these tax arrangements are" but said HMRC needed to "get on top" of what wealthy individuals were being advised to do by their accountants and close any loopholes in the system. The government needed a "proper strategy in place for tackling tax avoidance," she added. Take That's manager Jonathan Wild declined to comment. Mr Barlow, Mr Wild and Take That members Howard Donald and Mark Owen are said to have invested £26m in a scheme - Icebreaker 2 - that is facing a legal challenge from HMRC. HMRC said: "We are now preparing to litigate Icebreaker 2 but for legal reasons cannot say more at this time." A spokesman said that while not illegal in themselves some tax schemes went against the "spirit" of the regulations in the way that they used loopholes and reliefs. Beneficiaries of such schemes were normally forced to pay money back with a penalty. HMRC had already closed down a similar scheme, Icebreaker 1, and was hopeful of closing Icebreaker 2 down at a tax tribunal later this year, he added. Icebreaker Management Services maintained on Wednesday that they work "within the law" and said it was "essential that anyone who seeks to make use of tax relief does so properly". As a member of Take That, Mr Barlow has written 11 UK number one singles. In recent years, he has become increasingly known for his charity work and TV projects including judging on The X Factor and organising the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert. In August, Dorothy Gardner was sentenced to three months in jail, but was released on bail pending appeal. A judge has now ruled her sentence should be reduced to community service and a probation order. Gardner, of Killycanavan Road, made a public apology to former health minister, Jim Wells, at her appeal hearing on Friday. She said she was "deeply sorry" for what she had done. The judge said that having considered the contents of a probation pre-sentence report and defence submissions, he was imposing 100 hours of community service and a 15 month probation order. Gardner initially alleged that she attended an April 2015 hustings event in Downpatrick, during which the issue of same-sex parenting was discussed. Jim Wells made controversial remarks about same-sex relationships. He later resigned as health minister. Gardner then made a formal complaint to police. It included a statement claiming she had been at the event and heard the remarks, but a detective later realised that the 49-year-old's account didn't add up. She claimed she was with a group of protestors, wearing tops with the inscription "I'm proud to be gay" on the front and "No politician will tell me who to love" on the back. She also claimed she had heckled Mr Wells and in response, the DUP's Nelson McCausland and Gregory Campbell had laughed at her. Gardner told police she had video footage supporting her story. In August, the court heard that Mr McCausland and Mr Campbell were not at the event and that no video footage was produced by Gardner. Nor did CCTV footage demonstrate any such protest group attended. Gardner also claimed to be suffering from cancer, but the court was told that no evidence had been provided and she had not attended a probation appointment to discuss a pre-sentence report. The court was also told that Ms Gardner had claimed to be at the home of a lesbian couple in Rathfriland when Jim Wells came to the door canvassing. Police investigations revealed that this was also not true and that the couple in question had no knowledge of Ms Gardner. The court heard that Ms Gardner admitted she had wanted to "get Jim Wells". The judge said that fabricating statements attacked the very heart of due process and that false statement made by Ms Gardner not only wasted police time but could impact on legitimate complaints from the LGBT community. The Malta-based, Migrant Offshore Aid Station, said it coordinated the operation along with Italian, Irish and German ships. Italy's coastguard could not confirm the numbers, but said it was trying to help around a dozen other vessels. The HMS Bulwark, a British Royal Navy ship, is also making its way towards Libya to assist with the situation. BBC correspondent Jonathan Beale, who is on board, said the ship's crew would launch helicopters and landing craft on Sunday morning in the expectation they would pick up more migrants. The Bulwark has already saved almost 1,800 people over the past month. Italian navy ship Driade rescued 560 of the migrants on Saturday, including women and children, while the Irish vessel Le Eithne picked up 310 people. The numbers of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean in the hope of reaching Europe, has increased by more than 10% in the first five months of 2015. Italy's government predicts a total of 200,000 will arrive on its shores this year, up from 170,000 in 2014. Campaigning in Aberdeen, the Labour leader acknowledged that the EU should be more accountable and democratic. But he said voting Remain would protect "paid holiday, the anti-discrimination legislation, the maternity leave, the paternity leave and particularly environmental protection". Leave campaigners say cutting workplace regulation would help create new jobs. The UK's in-out referendum on EU membership takes place on 23 June. Mr Corbyn has been viewed as Labour's most Eurosceptic leader in a generation and has faced criticism from within his party for not doing more to galvanise Labour supporters to vote Remain. Most of the party's MPs back staying in the EU, although the Vote Leave campaign is chaired by a Labour MP, Gisela Stuart. How working conditions and pay rates are affected by EU membership. In his comments, Mr Corbyn also referred positively to European human rights legislation but said he was "very opposed to" the terms of a proposed trade deal with the US. "But if we leave [the EU] we've got to think very seriously about the economic consequences of the jobs and the workers' rights and the free movement of people," he said. A vote to stay in the EU was "not an endorsement of every bureaucratic excess of the European Union", Mr Corbyn said, suggesting that what was important was "a principle about working with people across national borders". Momentum in political campaigns is both everything, and nothing. Unquantifiable and ephemeral - and yet motivating and mood setting. Vote Leave, having weathered an onslaught from their opponents in the opening skirmishes of this campaign, now sound upbeat and chipper. The Remain campaign - and particularly those within the Labour Party who passionately believe the UK must stay in the EU - fret that their supporters are leaching away to back Brexit. So, the tussle is now on for the support of Labour voters - a chunk of the electorate who could prove crucial a week on Thursday In other developments: Asked if Labour voters could swing the vote, Mr Corbyn said he was working very hard to put the case to Labour voters "that we reform the European Union by remaining in the European Union". "If we walk away from it it's very hard to see how our economy can be sustained, how those jobs can be sustained particularly in manufacturing industry," he said. He also appealed to people in Scotland to avoid getting into the debate about whether a Leave vote could lead to another independence referendum. "I hope people will vote for what they want on June 23, and decide whether they wish to be part of the European Union or not on the basis of solidarity with people across the continent," Mr Corbyn said. Leading Leave campaigner Iain Duncan Smith told the BBC it was not just the Conservatives who were divided over Europe. He said: "A huge number of Labour voters are actually for Leave now because of the crisis over immigration and the problems of services, and on their salaries, by the way, wages are falling as a result of migration." Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (Hial) made the offer which was discussed in a meeting with the Prospect union. More than 120 staff held a 48-hour strike earlier this month which led to the closure of Dundee Airport. Hial's other 10 sites continued to operate during the action. Members of Prospect have been in a dispute over their pay and conditions for the past six years. Hial operates 11 Scottish airports in Dundee, Inverness, Argyll, the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland and Wick. Inglis Lyon, managing director of Hial, said: "A revised offer was made to Prospect today which we understand will be the subject of a consultative ballot. "Both parties have compromised and in so doing have secured some long term stability for the business." He added: "We are pleased at the progress we have made and believe that the agreement reached today delivers a balanced package of improvements to pay and conditions for security staff." Prospect said it would begin balloting members at the end of this week, with the ballot closing on 5 May. A work to rule action will be suspended. Alan Denney, Prospect national secretary, said: "We believe this offer provides a realistic opportunity to settle our long-running dispute with Hial over the unequal treatment of our members. "If agreed, there will be an alignment of terms and conditions over the next 20 months." Revision App claims to offer effective online revision through its website or phone app. A BBC investigation has found the company has taken people's money then failed to respond to their complaints. Its founder said the cases were a "poor representation of the experience customers actually encounter". Revision App offers animated videos and quizzes to help with exam revision. It was set up in 2011 by Jermaine Hagan. In 2013 he was named as Shell's young entrepreneur of the year and appeared on stage at the Conservative Party conference to explain how a government-backed start-up loan had helped get his business off the ground. "I've been able to help one million young people learn on their mobile devices," he told the audience, which included the then chancellor, George Osborne, and education secretary, Michael Gove. "In the next five years I want everyone to know about Revision App. We want to be huge," he said. The business got positive coverage in national newspapers, the BBC News website and glowing reviews online. But by 2015, complaints had started to appear. People were posting reviews saying they had tried to cancel, but could not, and were still being charged a monthly fee. Among them was Jane Finch, from Caerphilly, who had signed up to Revision App to help get her son through his GCSEs. She had been happy with the service until the time came to get rid of it. "After his exams I thought oh well he's done with this so I emailed them to cancel it," she told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours. "I got an email back saying we'll contact you within three working days but I never had any response from them." There is no address or telephone number on the Revision App website so customers can only email the company. When Jane Finch's emails continued to go unanswered, she contacted her bank and got them to block any further payments. By then, another £19.99 had been taken from her bank account for a month's access she did not need. Other customers have paid for the service but have not been able to use it at all. In January 2017, Jo Hinds, from Cardiff, found Revision App while searching online for something to help with her daughter's AS-level exam revision. She paid £29.99 to access the website's content and received an email confirming her order. "That email informed us that within the next five minutes we'd receive our member details and access instructions. We are still waiting for those," she said. Without them, Mrs Hinds's daughter has been unable to access the content on Revision App's website. Mrs Hinds complained but her emails also went unanswered. She thought she had paid a one-off fee so was alarmed to discover she had been automatically signed up for rolling monthly payments - at least, that was what the email confirming the order told her. "There was no mention of that at the stage of payment," she said. Her bank refunded her money and blocked any possible further payments. The Revision App website includes the logos of four major exam boards, but they have all told the BBC that they have nothing to do with the service and their logos have been used without their permission. Another discrepancy is a promised discount on access to GCSE videos. The website calls it a "1 day sale" yet it has appeared on consecutive days over 24 hours apart. Alongside the complaints, positive reviews of Revision App have appeared on online forums. But when things have gone wrong, why have customers' complaints gone unanswered? It is still not clear. When contacted by You & Yours, the founder of Revision App Global Ltd, Jermaine Hagan, put customers' complaints down to "temporary errors" with the software used to give out access codes and process cancellations. He said both problems had been fixed "quite some time ago" but failed to explain why, in that case, complaints have been made during 2015, 2016 and now 2017. He said access to A-level content was not currently provided - so why was Jo Hinds's order processed at all? And why was A-level content still being advertised on his website? Mr Hagan failed to provide any further clarification. In an email he stated the cases highlighted "are a poor representation of the experience customers actually encounter when learning with us".

It follows the recent attacks in Paris and also in Mali, where 22 people were killed in a raid on a luxury hotel last week, couturier Alphadi said. About 1,000 designers, models and celebrities were due to attend. Niger is battling the Nigerian-based jihadist group Boko Haram in the south-east of the country. Since February, hundreds of people have been killed by the Islamist militants in Diffa region, which borders Nigeria. The last Fima show in 2013 was held under tight security amid fears of an attack by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Alphadi, whose real name is Seidnaly Sidhamed, said the four-day festival would take place "very soon", without giving a date. Apart from musicians and designers, footballers Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon and Ivorian Yaya Toure were expected for this year's launch which was due to take place at Niger's biggest stadium, the AFP news agency reports. Keane, Republic of Ireland boss O'Neill's assistant, is the bookmakers' favourite to replace the Norwegian. "Could he do the job? I would have no problem with that whatsoever," O'Neill told Irish broadcaster RTE. But he added: "As Roy said, you still have to be asked to do it, I'm not so sure that's been the case." O'Neill managed Celtic between 2000 and 2005, leading the club to three league titles, three Scottish Cups, one League Cup and a memorable run to the 2003 Uefa Cup final. Media playback is not supported on this device He believes the stature of both Celtic and Keane makes them a natural fit, with Deila having announced last month that he would be leaving Glasgow in the summer. The Scottish Premiership champions will next season bid for a sixth straight top-flight title. "Celtic is one of the great clubs in the world and Keane is one of the great players," said O'Neill. "That's not a bad fit for a start." With Republic of Ireland competing at Euro 2016 in France next month, O'Neill does not think Keane would give up his position with the national side lightly. He has, however, said more than once that Keane is ready to return to club management, after previous spells in charge of Sunderland, who he led to the Premier League, and Ipswich Town. When asked if the former Manchester United captain was ready for a new challenge, O'Neill said: "Yeah, he could very well be." The 19-year-old midfielder has made one appearance for the Addicks this season in an EFL Trophy game against Southampton's Under-21 side. He is the younger brother of Coventry goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook. "Regan's an athlete, technically good and versatile, so he will give us options and creativity in the final third," said Moors boss Liam McDonald.

The 29-year-old scored twice against Gordon's side last term, including in the Scottish Cup final that Celtic went on to win 2-1. "Jonny always seemed to do well when he played against us over the last couple of seasons," Gordon told Celtic TV. "I'm glad he's on our team now rather than facing up to him." Republic of Ireland international Hayes is Celtic's first signing of the summer following their unbeaten treble-winning campaign last term. And while Gordon is proud to have been part of the historic season, he insists Celtic will not dwell on their achievement as they look to start the new season as strongly as possible. "That's in the history books now, we've achieved that," the 34-year-old said. "Now we've got to have the mindset of starting again. This is a new season. "Everyone will always remember what we did last season, but it's up to us to go out and put a marker down for this season. "We'll start off by doing that in the pre-season games then go and try to qualify for the Champions League." Brendan Rodgers' Celtic begin their quest to reach the Champions League group stages early next month, with Northern Irish champions Linfield or San Marino minnows La Fiorita providing the first qualifying hurdle to be cleared. And Gordon says the Scottish champions will leave nothing to chance, whoever they face. "I'm sure it will be a difficult game - they all are at this stage, trying to qualify for the Champions League," he added. "Whoever we get it's going to be a tricky tie and we need to make sure our preparations are right to ensure we're ready for it." On one side of his tightly-packed gym in the area he grew up in is a wood craftsmen's workshop; on the other an advertising agency. Inside there are white-washed brick walls and brand new equipment as Groves gloves up with trainer Paddy Fitzpatrick. Groves's mum, Yvonne, explains how it was built with the money earned from the first world-title fight with Carl Froch and how the family turned a grotty space into a gleaming temple where George can prepare for his WBC world super-middleweight title eliminator against Christopher Rebrasse at Wembley Arena this Saturday. The fact she is serving tea and sandwiches reflects the tight-knit family unit that surrounds Groves. He has spoken previously of how he helps his wife Sophie while she is teaching at a primary school. However tough he is in the boxing world, it's his partner who rules at home. When I ask Yvonne how she deals with watching her 26-year-old son fight, her winced response is telling. 'Earn the money and get out' is how she sees the ideal career path for her son. And in a revealing interview before he hits the pads, Groves hints at a similar philosophy. Groves calls his approach to boxing as "maverick" and in many senses it is true. Following the controversial stoppage in his first fight against Froch, Groves said he trusted no-one and decided to manage himself. So when he played the goat in the build-up to his record-breaking re-match against Froch in May, he wasn't just trying to wind up his opponent, which appeared to work. The businessman in him also had a greater appreciation of the need to sell 80,000 tickets at Wembley Stadium. Similarly, he understands what is at stake this time around, adding to a more humble tone. Lose this fight and his chances of facing Froch again would fade away. More importantly, it would also ensure that the shortcut to retirement would take a serious detour. "Boxing is a sport but it's a business," the former British and Commonwealth champion says. "It's a business with a shelf-life and, like a woman waiting to have kids, my clock is ticking. A career only lasts so long and a successful one is even shorter. "I've had a successful career but I'm not the sort of fella who is content with anything and certainly not in boxing. I look forward to that day, because I will retire but until that point I will strive to be better and try and understand the sport as best I can." Groves talks intelligently, a man who now understands the boxing ring and the boardroom. "I don't just follow the trend," he adds. "I signed with a German promoter and they don't usually promote here in the UK, but the fact they have identified me as a talented enough fighter means I am able to put my stamp on the show and we are breaking moulds." The Londoner is the only fighter not backed by promoters Eddie or Barry Hearn to have his fight screened on Sky. Yet he is wily enough to know that if he doesn't beat Rebrasse to the European title, that could soon change. The Frenchman has only lost two of 27 bouts but has only won six inside the distance so it could be a war of attrition in front of the expected 7,500 fans in north-west London. Groves acknowledges it won't be easy. "We knew this would be a bit of a comedown after the Carl Froch fight, that made history," Groves says. "But this is a huge fight for a European belt and then we are in line for the WBC title. "This is more important than any other fight that I've had. Every fight feels like a must-win but with this, the pressure is really on. You can always recover a career but I lost my last fight and if I lose this one there will be some serious things that need addressing." Despite losing his last two world-title fights to Froch, Groves insists he has not suffered a dent in confidence. Many fans disagreed with how the first bout ended, while he was floored by Froch's "finest right hand" in the re-match. Groves believes he belongs at world-class level and takes further solace that despite being "the little guy" in the Froch encounters, there was a still a demand to screen his comeback. Should he beat the Frenchman, American Antony Dirrell lies in wait although the savvy businessman in Groves knows where the real pay days are. Right now, a re-match with Froch or James DeGale, who Groves beat in 2011, seems a long way off yet he knows that those contests will once again capture the imagination. Throughout our chat, Groves is softly-spoken and thoughtful. He becomes more animated, though, when I bring up the prospect of those bouts. He knows the game, so he starts to play it. "The fans have already seen both fights and if they knew there was a third one, they would cry out to see it," he explains. "The same with DeGale, he is always there or thereabouts. If he is winning and I am winning, then our paths will collide. It's a fight I would take any day of the week. "If Carl wants to fight in Vegas, I'll fight him in Vegas. If he wants to fight in Nottingham, I will. Certainly, there will be a temptation to fight me because he doesn't like me. For whatever reason, he's struggling with the win and I feel that will lead to the possibility of a third fight. "He probably knows that he couldn't win third time lucky but we shall see. The headlines of the last two fights say that he won, but that wasn't the whole story." Groves, 26, does not see himself boxing at Froch's age, 37. He wants to be in control, choosing his destiny and engaging in the circus that surrounds boxing in order to secure his future. But he knows that only success can allow him to pick his own exit point. As our interview finishes, I ask him what training he will be doing this week. "Exercising my tongue," he says with a grin. Should he lose on Saturday, talk of Froch re-matches will begin to fall on deaf ears. Kirsty Smith's stunning goal gave Hibs a dream start, but Ruesha Littlejohn levelled within a minute. Lucy Graham restored Hibs' lead from close range before Rachel McLaughlan made it three with a tap-in just after the break. Hibs continued to dominate and Rachael Small added a fourth 10 minutes from the end. Head coach Chris Roberts has now guided Hibs to the last three domestic cups, as they also won the Scottish Cup last term. The game did not take long to come to life with both sides scoring in the opening minutes. Hibs full-back Smith found herself in space outside the box, spotted goalkeeper Megan Cunningham off her line, and sent a delightful effort high into the net. Almost from the restart Celtic were level. Cailin Michie struggled to deal with a diagonal pass and there was Littlejohn to coolly slot the ball into the far corner. The pace was relentless. Littlejohn forced a save from distance before Hibs twice went close through Katey Turner. First she volleyed into the side netting then she almost found the far corner with a low drive, only to be denied by a brilliant one-handed save from Cunningham. Hibs always looked the more likely to get a second goal and it arrived in 34 minutes. Jaclyn Poucel's effort was blocked by fellow American Darcy McFarlane but the ball broke to Chelsea Cornet, who picked out Graham for an easy finish. Celtic almost repeated their trick of an instant equaliser but Natalie Ross' shot was blocked by Emma Brownlie. At the other end Brownlie almost made it three, heading a free-kick off a post. Hibs got their third a few minutes into the second half when Turner collected Abi Harrison's pass and picked out McLaughlan, who broke through the Celtic defence and knocked the ball into the net. Hibs made it four with 10 minutes to go. Lia Tweedie skipped past three players on the right hand side and cut it back for Harrison whose shot was blocked, but when the ball fell to Small she squeezed it in at the near post. Amy Gallacher went close to adding a fifth that would have been harsh on Celtic. Hibernian head coach Chris Roberts: "I'm so proud of the girls. It's unlike us to concede such a sloppy goal and to be fair I felt for the majority of the first half Celtic were on the front foot. The second half I thought they were great, when the third goal went in it relaxed us more and we kept the ball better. "We gave a lot of players an opportunity at 16 and 17 and now we're reaping the rewards. It's testament to them how much desire they have to win things and three trophies now in the last 12 months and we definitely want to build on that." Celtic head coach David Haley: "It was difficult to lose a goal straight after half-time. We told them not to take risks and they've tried a pass and it's not came off for us. That naturally deflated us, but first half I thought we were excellent. I don't think the score line reflects how the game was. "We do just need to be a bit more clinical. We are getting closer, everybody can see that, they're not as one-sided as they were a couple of years ago. But we need to find a way of getting something what we did against Glasgow City (1-1 draw), getting a result, getting a draw, and then hopefully that will spur us on and give us more belief, but it just wasn't to be today." Rand became the first British female athlete to win a track and field Olympics gold medal, in the long jump at the Tokyo Games of 1964. She was born and grew up in the cathedral city in Somerset. Campaign organiser Tony Williams said: "I feel that the council let her down in 64 - they should have given her the freedom of the city then." Rand broke the long jump record in winning gold in Tokyo. At the same Games, she also won a silver medal in the pentathlon and took bronze in the 100m relay. She said: "It would mean everything to me, you know being born in Wells and to have such a great honour bestowed on me, I would be absolutely honoured." Wells City Council, which would be responsible for handing out the honour, said it had received the application and would consider it. The last person to be awarded the freedom of Wells, in 2008, was one of the few surviving World War I veterans, Harry Patch. He died the following year aged 111. Media playback is not supported on this device Rams striker Bent put the Premier League champions ahead when he scuffed a clearance into his own net while under no pressure trying to clear a corner. However the former England forward made up for that when he headed Will Hughes' cross into the right net to level the scores. Craig Bryson put Championship side Derby ahead when he picked the ball up 25 yards out, surged past three Foxes defenders and fired the ball across Kasper Schmeichel with a slight deflection off Robert Huth. The Foxes, who hit the post through Demarai Gray, looked as if they were heading out of the cup before captain Morgan headed home Gray's corner. Derby had a late appeal for a penalty turned down when Abdoul Camara's shot hit Huth's hand. The replay at the King Power Stadium will be played on Wednesday, 8 February (19:45 GMT). Bent has made a career from close-range tap-ins, but he has never 'scored' one like his opener before. Marc Albrighton's corner was headed towards goal by Foxes defender Huth. The ball landed to Chris Baird, who tried to control the ball on his thigh but it went away from him back towards team-mate Bent. The former Sunderland striker, standing just in front of the line, had plenty of time to control the ball or smash it to safety. But as he swung his foot to clear, the ball hit the side of his boot and flew behind him into the back of the net. Match of the Day summariser Graeme Le Saux called it "just the most bizarre goal". The former England defender added: "It is just terrible. From an experienced player, he's got time, he sees the ball. How he fails to get decent contact on it, baffling. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. He almost kicks it backwards into the net." BBC Radio 5 live's Andy Townsend said: "He could have taken a touch before clearing. He didn't need to slash at it." "I don't know what happened," said Bent after the game. "I lost concentration and tried to hit the ball as hard as I could and it flew into the net. It wasn't the greatest start. Fair play to us to stick at it." Bent made amends with a goal at the right end when Schmeichel punched a corner to Hughes, whose cross was met by Bent with a glancing header to turn the ball past the keeper into the corner of the net. "It was playing on my mind, I thought 'what have I done here'? But I scored at the other end," he added. The 32-year-old striker has now scored in 10 of his past 11 FA Cup games, including all five for Derby. Leicester named a strong team, with nine of their regular starting 11 from last season's title-winning team starting - and a 10th, Riyad Mahrez, coming on midway through the second half. But as has been the case for most of their title defence so far - they sit five points above the relegation zone - they looked nothing like the 2015-16 legends. However, they did have enough chances to score before eventually equalising. Half-time substitute Gray should have levelled when Albrighton's cross was punched away by Scott Carson to the winger, who shot the rebound straight at the former England keeper. And then moments later, he went even closer when his low shot from the edge of the box hit the post. The ball landed to Shinji Okazaki, whose first effort was blocked and his second - like his team-mate had done a minute before - shot straight at Carson, who was on the ground. And, as if to sum up the difference between this season and last, Jamie Vardy - scorer of 24 goals last term and six this time around - headed straight at Carson from about six yards out. But Morgan kept them in the cup with his late intervention, albeit in a replay neither side really wanted. While Derby are challenging for the play-offs, Leicester now have to juggle a Premier League relegation battle, a campaign in the Champions League knockout stages and an FA Cup replay. Derby boss Steve McClaren joked after the game that he would have brought on more strikers at the end to force a winner for either side if he could. Derby manager Steve McClaren: "We did everything we could, we came across a team who were at it tonight. Our character was fantastic, we dug in in the second half and Scott Carson made some saves when we needed him to. "The penalty incident? It's hit his hand and it's on target. I've seen them given but we didn't get the luck. We fought to the end, neither of us wanted a draw but what a cup tie. It was a great game, great atmosphere and I am proud of the players." Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "It was a tough match. We started well and scored but slowly we lost our calm. They played well and scored twice. In the second half we again started well and created two or three chances. It was tough to score but thankfully Morgan got one for us. "We have to concentrate. Too many times we concede. We can only work and be more focused." Both sides have away trips on Tuesday.

Police responded to reports of young people drinking and throwing stones and bottles at passing cars on the Portadown Road on Friday at about 20:30 BST. They said bottles were thrown at them and they were threatened with a large pipe. A 21-year-old man has been charged with disorderly behaviour. He is due to appear in court on 20 May. The bouncer came in the 22-year-old's first over on day one of a four-day state match against Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It is the same venue at which the 25-year-old Hughes was fatally injured. Abbott was applauded by spectators when he was asked to bowl in the 13th over. He sent down a bouncer with his fifth ball and ended the day with two wickets for 53 runs for New South Wales, dismissing Nathan Reardon and Ben Cutting as Queensland were bowled out for 268. The NSW players wore black armbands for the game and also had "PJH 707" stitched onto their shirts, marking the fact that Hughes was the 707th player to represent the state team. Hughes was struck on the neck by a short-pitched ball from Abbott on 25 November. The left-hander collapsed on the pitch and died in hospital two days later. Abbott has received widespread support since the incident, including counselling from governing body Cricket Australia. Before the game against Queensland, NSW captain Moises Henriques said they were doing all they could to help Abbott through this difficult time. "From our point of view, we are trying to expel his name from the tragedy a little bit," said Henriques. "I don't think he was any more at fault than any fast bowler who has ever bowled a bouncer in his career." The Australian national team is also playing its first match since the tragedy, in the delayed Test series against India at Adelaide. Ronan Munro's first impression of Thom Yorke was that he was a man on a mission. The Radiohead frontman, who at the time played in Oxford band On A Friday, was giving local music magazine Curfew his first ever interview. The band were all present, at a house they shared in Ridgefield Road. "They were all really nervous because they'd never been interviewed before, and they were really nice guys," Munro remembers. "But Thom wasn't like anyone I'd interviewed before. He was so focused. He was like 'This is going to happen… failure is not an option'. "I really took that away from it. He wasn't some ranting diva or a megalomaniac, but he was so focused on what he wanted to do." "I remember that first interview very clearly," Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood says today. "We had a shared house, like The Monkees. Or we were more like the Banana Splits. "It was a great experience to do it with a really committed local person. "Ronan was the centre of the Oxford music scene for years. "A lot of what happened wouldn't have happened if he hadn't have been there." Munro started Curfew after coming back from a tour with Oxford band Ride, where he sold merchandise at their shows. "He knows his music, he's passionate about it, and it's just selling him short, selling T-shirts," Ride's Mark Gardener believes. "But for him it was fun to be on the road and be a part of it." Inspired by the band's success, Munro thought a music magazine could be just the thing to find the next Ride. "I thought Ride had become successful, but there were other good bands," Munro remembers. "Bands had to play in London to get a review, like climbing a ladder where the rungs didn't start until halfway up. "They needed something lower down and that's why they needed Curfew." True to that ethos, he gave On A Friday their first gig review. "What really grabbed me was Thom Yorke's voice, because it wasn't like anything else," he says. "Music-wise they had a bit of the current indie sound, a bit noisier, a bit sharper." When the band decided to change their name to Radiohead, in that pre-internet, pre-Twitter age, they took out a £30 space in the magazine. "That's an announcement and a half," Greenwood laughs. "We should have hired one of those skywriting planes instead. "It meant the 50 people bothered to follow us could be aware of the fact that we'd changed our name, which is quite funny." Curfew was distributed free at venues and stores across the county. Munro even hand delivered copies to Our Price, where he once worked alongside assistant manager Steve Queralt, who was also the bass player in Ride. Their newest sales assistant was Greenwood. "I was waiting for everyone in the band to finish college, and I thought I'd stay in Oxford and find a job working in music," he explains. "I'd chat with Ronan about who was playing where and through him we met [promoter] Mac at The Venue. It was fantastic." When Radiohead put on a gig at The Venue to film the video to their new single Creep, they donated the proceeds to the magazine. "It was sold out, it was mad. They did a truncated gig and played Creep a few times," Munro says. "It was going to be free but they asked everyone for contributions, and Colin and Ed [O'Brien, guitarist] brought the money to my house in a plastic pint glass. "It was probably a couple of hundred quid and paid for a computer." Over the next few years the band kept improving. "I gave [debut album] Pablo Honey a good review but it wasn't well received, and I knew they were close to being dropped. "And it was Creep that saved them. That's the short-sightedness of the music industry." Curfew's third issue in May 1991 featured The Jennifers on the cover, who would later become Supergrass. "They were funny little 15-year-old scamps who used to hang around the car park at the Jericho Tavern, too young to get in," Munro recalls. "They would pull so many people to their shows. They were very young but well beyond their age musically." Drummer Danny Goffey remembers being a Curfew cover star. "There was a picture of us in a line and we were interviewed. I was probably about 17, Gaz [Coombes, singer] a couple of years younger. "We knew Oxford inside out by that time, all the pubs. We were early starters. We cut our teeth in them. "I remember Barcelona's down Little Clarendon Street. Me and Gaz went in there in our pyjamas and got thrown out." Supergrass formed in 1993 when Gaz and Danny added bassist Mick Quinn to their line up. According to Munro, their gig at the Hollybush Inn, Osney Island, "was another 'Blimey, what was that?' kind of thing". "Suddenly this band had grown wings," he adds. "They were a huge blast of pop energy." Munro's immersion in the scene began with the job at Our Price where "half of the people were in bands". It meant he saw Ride's first public gig at the Jericho Tavern. "People came in as they were sound-checking and were applauding. They were stunning. They blew the place apart. "Everything suddenly went mad, word got out, and they got rave reviews in the NME and Melody Maker." Ironically, by 1994 several venues closed down, and, with no advertising to keep it afloat, Curfew folded in December. By the following July things had picked up enough for Munro to launch new title Nightshift. It championed the likes of The Unbelievable Truth, The Candyskins, The Young Knives, Stornoway, Glass Animals, Chad Valley and Elizabeth. Ronan saw Elizabeth's first ever gig at the Zodiac. "They were this bunch of 15-year-olds who I gave a rave review. "I went to every gig after that. Then they came out the other side as a band called Foals. "When they opened up at The Wheatsheaf I thought it was a great indie noise, but disco and funk as well. Their early gigs were intense." Munro handpicked Elizabeth to play his annual showcase The Punt. "Yannis Philippakis was smashing his guitar open on the stage having an outburst… but you've got to take that side of an artist. "If they channel it into the intensity of the performance like he did then it's brilliant." And Philippakis was, according to Munro, "always nice and very determined". As far as Greenwood is concerned, Munro's reviews were "always fair, and never false or gushing". "He's honest and he recognised the people who worked hard... it's a difficult job and it's full of his personality." But Munro, who works on the magazine alongside his role as a househusband, modestly asserts: "I haven't made a band ever, you just give people that little step up." The £1bn electrification of the Great Western line between London and Cardiff was confirmed by the UK government on Tuesday. Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said he would ask for a rethink. He said there was still a "robust business case" for electrification to Swansea. "We think that it's imperative because we want the economic benefits to flow not just to the south east but also south west Wales," said Mr Jones. "As Swansea is one of our major cities, I think it's entitled to see the major investment coming to it through electrification." The UK government said it had found "no evidence of a pattern of demand" and trains will switch to diesel power between Cardiff and Swansea from 2017. However, electrifying the south Wales valleys commuter lines remains a future possibility. There has been mixed reaction to Tuesday's announcement. Cardiff council's leader Rodney Berman applauded the decision: "It knocks about 20 minutes off the journey time which is going to make Cardiff more attractive to businesses coming to locate. "They will look at that journey time and think it's closer to London and Heathrow and that's good for the economy of south Wales. "I think we've got to remember Swansea is going to benefit from this as well. 'Kick in the teeth' "We're getting an awful lot of doom and gloom, particularly for political reasons, but we're forgetting this is beneficial to both cities." But Andrew Davies, Labour assembly member for Swansea West, said it was "disappointing". "Once again Swansea and west Wales is being regarded as second class. "This is a kick in the teeth for people and yet another broken promise by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. "It would be far more cost effective to do this all at the same time." Martin Evans, of the Transport Research Centre at the University of Glamorgan, said in the future the decision not to electrify as far as Swansea may be considered "perverse". He said: "Prosperity declines the further away you get from London. "Swansea is already far away from London and Europe. "I think the problem will be perception because Swansea is looking like it's somewhere beyond the end of the line." In a statement to MPs, Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said he had looked carefully at the arguments in favour of electrifying the line as far as Swansea. But with no evidence of a pattern of demand that would lead to an increase of the one service an hour between London and Swansea, Mr Hammond said there was not a viable business case for electrification of the main line between Cardiff and Swansea. The deadly creatures are a daily concern for the 48-year-old, much more so than the wild elephants and buffalo that roam his property in the middle of the Kenyan bush. And more of a worry than the risk of a lion wandering in from the nearby Tsavo East National Park, which isn't fenced off. This is an isolated and harsh spot in southern Kenya. The nearest town - Voi - is a three-hour drive away along packed dirt tracks strewn with rocks and potholes. It can be blazing hot, and you have to truck in everything you need - water, food, fuel and electricity generators. Your mobile phone will definitely not get a signal. But what Mr Okenu's land does have, under its red soil, is a gemstone called tsavorite garnet. A brilliant green colour similar to emerald, it is much in demand on the global jewellery market, particularly in Asia. And while tsavorites may not be as expensive as emeralds, their wholesale price is still about $1,200 per gram (£800). So for Mr Okenu, it can be a lucrative business when times are good. However, doing business "off the beaten track" inevitably comes with complications and difficulties, wherever you are on the globe. We spoke to Mr Okenu and two very different, but equally remotely-based, small firms in other parts of the world about the challenges they have to endure while running their successful businesses. Mr Okenu's mine is little more than a big hole in the ground, where he and his six employees toil with one jackhammer and some shovels and axes. He admits that it is a laborious process. "What we lack is an excavator (digger)," says Mr Okenu, who has built two simple, small buildings with corrugated iron roofs to house him and his workers when they are on site. "I know we are on the right track, but without the right equipment everything takes so much longer." Yet getting the tsavorites out of the ground is not Mr Okenu's biggest challenge, instead it is selling them for a good price. "There is no way we can get high prices locally," he says, complaining that dealers from China and Thailand base themselves in Kenya to buy up the local supply and sell it for twice as much in Asia. Mr Okenu, who set up the mine a few years ago, after previously working as a safari tour operator, instead tries to sell his stones directly to overseas buys. To promote himself, and find new customers, he maintains a Facebook page, which he updates when he visits his office in the town of Voi. Yet exporting the stones is an expensive and time consuming business, as Mr Okenu has to first spend more than seven hours driving them to the Kenyan capital Nairobi. He then has to take the stones to the Kenyan Ministry of Mines, where he has to fill out paperwork. The ministry then only gives him the stones back at the airport, where he can finally hand them over to a courier company for sending abroad. Including his petrol and export taxes, he says the whole process can cost $200. A world away in Canada's far north, hotelier Leo Martel also knows a thing or two about long-distance driving. His hotel is based in a tiny former mining community called Keno City (population, 15), in the country's Yukon province. At the end of a road known as the Silver Trail, it is a seven-hour car journey north from Whitehorse, the Yukon's capital. "It's not a casual drive," says Mr Martel, 64, a retired carpenter from Quebec who fell in love with Keno City when he worked in a nearby mine, and decided to make it his home. He bought the hotel eight years ago, and it is now open all year round. Every couple of months he has to travel down to Whitehorse to stock up on everything the Keno City Hotel needs, such as huge quantities of fresh meat and produce for the freezer, canned food, and lots and lots of alcohol. If the isolated location of the 10-room hotel was not enough of a commercial challenge for Mr Martel, you have to also remember that the Yukon gets brutally cold winters. With mountains, lakes and forests it is a visually stunning part of the world, but winter temperatures can plummet to -30C or below for weeks on end. However, Mr Martel says that for many visitors the hotel's very isolation is all part of the attraction. He adds that most of his regulars are Yukon residents, so they are already used to the weather. They primarily visit from Whitehorse (population 28,000), Dawson City (the Yukon's second largest conurbation, population 1,300), and the village of Mayo (population 400). "Because we are in the middle of nowhere, people can have more fun," he says. "There's no kids around, we're at the end of the road, it becomes a little escape or a hideout. "You feed people a couple of drinks and you never know what'll come out of them." While the Keno City Hotel doesn't have an easy time buying its alcohol, 8,374 miles (13,477km) away in the South Atlantic the world's most isolated distillery faces a challenge in trying to sell its products. The St Helena Distillery is based on the British Overseas Territory of the same time, a small island measuring just 47 sq miles (121 sq km). The facility was opened in 2006 by Welshman Paul Hickling after he and his St Helena-born wife moved to the island from the UK. The 57-year-old makes a range of products, including a gin, brandy, coffee liqueur, and a sprit made from St Helena grown prickly pears, the fruit of a cactus plant. Mr Hickling's products are a hit with the 4,500 people who live on St Helena, but he'd like to increase exports. The problem at present is that St Helena's only connection to the outside world is by the Royal Mail Ship St Helena, which takes five days to travel to Cape Town in South Africa. And sending freight on the ship is expensive, costing £5,000 per container load of goods. Thankfully for Mr Hickling, things are going to get significantly easier from next year, when St Helena's first airport is due to open. In addition to making it quicker and easier to export things from the island, the air link is set to see the number of tourists visiting St Helena soar. In preparation, Mr Hickling has already built a bar and restaurant above his distillery. He says: "My spirits are reasonably priced, and I have the potential to make 180 bottles a day. It would be nice to be able to sell all of them." Mr Justice Garnham, at the High Court in London, accepted that Andre Babbage was "likely" to abscond and offend. But he said Babbage's continued detention was unjustified, because the home secretary was not going to be able to send him back to Zimbabwe. Babbage has UK convictions for supplying cocaine, assault and robbery. The Zimbabwean national, who was born in 1986 and came to the UK with his mother in 2003, had been in immigration detention since October 2013. Lawyers for Home Secretary Theresa May argued that continued detention pending deportation was lawful. The judge said that Babbage had "no right to remain in the UK" and had "committed serious offences in this country". But he went on to say that Zimbabwe would only accept "returning nationals" if they had a passport or wished to return. Babbage did not have a current Zimbabwean passport, and had repeatedly made it clear that he did not consent to being returned to Zimbabwe, Mr Justice Garnham said. Therefore there was "no prospect" of deportation to Zimbabwe and continued detention "could not be justified", he ruled. "It is my judgement that [he] would be likely, if released, to abscond and to commit further offences," the ruling said. "The question which arises here is whether the Home Secretary can justify [his] continued detention when he has made it clear that he will not return home. "My answer to that question is 'no'." Babbage had been given leave to remain in Britain in 2007, the court heard. In a period of about two years he built up a "serious criminal record", committing offences including supplying cocaine, harassment, criminal damage and theft. In 2011, he was convicted of robbery, after a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court, and given a 30-month sentence. Home Office officials made a deportation order in 2013 and he had been placed in immigration detention pending deportation. Both sides had early chances in a bright start to the game as Northampton's Kenji Gorre spooned over and Amadou Bakayoko forced home goalkeeper Adam Smith into a fine save. The breakthrough arrived on 24 minutes when Harry Beautyman delivered a pinpoint cross which Matty Taylor expertly guided into the far corner. Beautyman twice went close to adding an immediate second, sending a low effort whistling wide and then shooting straight at Saddlers goalkeeper Neil Etheridge. For Walsall, Kieron Morris screwed a long-range attempt wide and Scott Laird spurned a glorious chance to level when side-footing wide. Etheridge brilliantly denied Alex Revell on two occasions in the second-half. But he could do nothing about Northampton's killer second goal which came on 78 minutes when Revell confidently rolled home a penalty after Jason McCarthy had handled inside the area.

The pontiff is credited with helping bring about last December's diplomatic thaw after the decades-old enmity between communist Cuba and the US. The US imposed had imposed a trade embargo soon after Cuba's 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro. In the statement, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi did not provide details how long the Pope's visit would last. The 78-year-old Argentine pontiff will be the third pope to travel to Cuba, following visits there by John Paul II in 1998 and Benedict XVI in 2012. "The presence of His Holiness in Cuba will be memorable," Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said. "He will receive the warmest hospitality of the Cuban people." The Roman Catholic Church has maintained relations with Havana since the revolution. It also organised a series of secret diplomatic meetings to broker the US-Cuban rapprochement. The talks directly involved Pope Francis. The pontiff himself is no stranger to Cuba - he was there during Pope Benedict XVI's visit, the BBC's David Willey in Rome reports. He is also the author of a book on Cuba. After Cuba, he will continue his journey to Washington, New York and Philadelphia. He is expected to address a joint session of US Congress and will also speak at the UN. The Welsh, needing only a draw to clinch the European title for the first time in five years, all but secured victory by half-time with a 22-0 lead. Dalton Grant, Lewis Reece, Steve Parry and Rhodri Lloyd scored first-half tries for John Kear's Wales side. Elliot Kear added a second-half try for the visitors with Callum Mulkeen replying for Ireland late on. Courtney Davies kicked 10 points for Wales, whose victory secured them the title at the expense of France, who defeated Scotland 32-18 earlier on Saturday. Grant's try edged Wales ahead after Davies kicked a penalty deep into Irish territory. And after Liam Finn and Elliot Cosgrove had both threatened the Wales line, the visitors broke away for a second try when Reece reacted first after Casey Dunne had dropped a high ball. With Ireland wasting further promising attacking opportunities, they were made to pay with Parry and Lloyd both crossing for the Welsh before the break. Kear punished more poor Irish defending in the second half as Davies added to his haul of kicked points. Ireland's sole score came in the 72nd minute as Mulkeen touched down in the corner, but it was scant consolation for the well-beaten home side as Wales celebrated.

Thailand has one of the world's highest teen pregnancy rates and rising numbers of sexually transmitted infections. The campaign, slated to run until 2019, coincides with recent measures aimed at addressing teen pregnancies. Authorities have encouraged condom use in previous years alongside the promotion of abstinence. But this year they said they would focus on reducing social stigma on using condoms, as well as increasing access and improving the quality of condoms available. Thai health ministry spokesman Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong said on Thursday: "Teenagers, especially, do not have to be embarrassed about buying condoms." "Society also has to accept that teenage girls buy condoms, which is better than more teenage girls getting pregnant," Reuters quoted him as saying. Thailand still remains a conservative society, but has been struggling with high adolescent pregnancy rates in recent years. More than 50 out of every 1,000 Thai girls aged 15 to 19 give birth each year. A survey last year of Thais aged 15 and older found that nearly half of them were too shy to buy condoms, reported the Bangkok Post. The paper also said the number of sexually transmitted infections had doubled over the last decade, with a five-fold increase in 10 to 19 year olds. About 450,000 people in Thailand are HIV positive. The government recently passed a bill focussing on better sex education and easier access to condoms for teenagers, as well as providing better assistance to young mothers. Previous campaigns have seen officials urging teenagers to visit Buddhist temples instead of having pre-marital sex on Valentine's Day. In 2014, the day coincided with Macha Bucha, considered a holy day in Buddhism. The culture ministry also launched a "Just a Meal for Valentine's Day" campaign encourage teenagers to go home separately after a dinner date, though the authorities still handed out free condoms. The BBC understands that Ford, 71, broke his ankle in an incident involving a door at Pinewood Studios. The Hollywood actor, who starred as Han Solo in the original three Star Wars films and is currently filming the new Episode VII sequel, was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford. A spokesman for Lucasfilm said filming would continue while he recuperates. "Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. "Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates," a statement from the production company Lucasfilm said on Thursday night. A spokesman for Thames Valley Police confirmed officers had been called to the studio, near London, just after 17:00 BST to reports a 71-year-old man had been injured in an incident involving a garage door. "The man was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating," the force said. A spokeswoman for South Central Ambulance Service said they were called to an incident involving "a door that had fallen." Ford is set to be joined in the film by fellow original Star Wars series cast mates Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew. Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow are also starring. Star Wars: Episode VII will be the first in a new trilogy of films. Chancellor George Osborne earlier said the decision to shoot Episode VII in the UK was "testament to the incredible talent in Britain" and meant "more jobs and more investment". Jan Frylinck produced his maiden first-class century as the tourists reached 403-7 at stumps on day two, after the first day was washed out on Tuesday. The middle-order batsman hit 158 off 179 balls at Cambusdoon New Ground, assisted by weighty knocks from Stephan Baard (88) and Christi Viljoen (77). Scotland's Safyaan Sharif took three wickets in five balls in the 29th over. The right-armed pace bowler finished with 3-63 off his 20 overs, after reducing Namibia to 88-3. The tourists won the toss, elected to bat and Baard and Louis van der Westhuizen shared a first-wicket stand of 87. But Sharif had Van der Westhuizen caught by Con de Lange for 43, and then inflicted consecutive golden ducks on Gerhard Erasmus - trapping him lbw with the fifth ball of the over - and Craig Williams when he edged to Kyle Coetzer at third slip. Former South Africa Under-19 international Frylinck steadied the ship superbly, enjoying a fourth-wicket partnership of 111 with Baard before an inside edge from the latter saw him caught by Calum MacLeod off Richie Berrington. Frylinck, who hit 20 fours and four sixes in total, continued his fine form alongside Viljoen, their fifth-wicket stand of 151 eventually ended when Frylinck was caught and bowled by Mark Watt. Namibia captain Sarel Burger was then dismissed for a duck, edging Alasdair Evans' delivery into the hands of Matthew Cross. Viljoen spooned the ball to extra cover and was caught by Craig Wallace to become Berrington's second victim, leaving Zane Green (25no) and JJ Smit (10no) at the crease. Scotland team: Kyle Coetzer (captain), George Munsey, Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington, Con de Lange (vice-captain), Craig Wallace, Matthew Cross, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, Ruaidhri Smith, Alasdair Evans. Simon Reynolds, of Farnham, Surrey, did not return to Sheffield Crown Court for the verdict on Thursday and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. South Yorkshire Police launched a manhunt, and has since said Reynolds could have fled to the continent. He was vicar at All Saints Church in Darton when the thefts happened. Judge Julian Goose QC said Reynolds had disappeared from court at lunchtime even though his bail rules did not allow him to leave the building. He was found guilty of four counts of theft in his absence. The Bishop of Wakefield, the Rt Rev Tony Robinson, said he was concerned for the welfare of Reynolds and urged him to "come back to face the people in Sheffield". He added: "For someone to abscond in this way they mustn't be in a great mental state and we want to assure Simon that we'll do all we can to support him." Reynolds, of Upper Church Lane, was accused of keeping an estimated £24,000 of fees handed over by bereaved families and engaged couples when he was priest-in-charge of the church near Barnsley. The trial had previously heard money from three of the thefts should have been sent to the Wakefield Diocesan Board of Finance for marriages, funerals and graveyard memorials. The fourth count of theft relates to payments for monuments that should have gone to the parochial church council. The court was told an investigation showed Reynolds had only passed on a fraction of what he should. Suspicions were raised after Reynolds left Darton in 2013 to take up a new post in the Diocese of Guildford. McGeehan was booed by a section of home fans as he was carried off on a stretcher at Fratton Park on Monday. Luton manager Nathan Jones said some supporters showed a lack of "class" towards midfielder McGeehan. "If they knew what they know now, they would be generally disappointed with how they reacted," Cook said. "It's a sad incident for Cameron, he's got a very bright future in the game," the Portsmouth manager told BBC Radio Solent. "The incident (McGeehan being treated on the pitch) went on for some time and I think people got caught up in the clamour. "It was a moment I don't think our fans realised the extent of the boy's injury. By the time they had, it was obviously too late and we've let ourselves down, there's no issue about that. "We feel everything as a club and, as a club, we don't want to be letting ourselves down. We want people to speak about us really well. "All we can do is apologise for our behaviour in that moment and wish Cameron a speedy recovery." The move prevents the Prison Officers' Association from asking members in England and Wales to withdraw from "voluntary tasks". The POA said withdrawal from voluntary roles was not industrial action or a breach of discipline. But the government argued the POA plan broke the law banning prison officers from taking industrial action. The tasks the POA planned to withdraw included suicide prevention, first aid, control and restraint, and hostage negotiation. Reaching his decision, Mr Justice Leggatt said: "It seems to me that the evidence indicates the proposed action constitutes industrial action." The details of the injunction are now being discussed. What is going wrong with the prison system? The 'poster child' of super prisons Watch: Prison chaos uncovered by Panorama The POA's plan follows a dispute over pay and pensions and surging levels of violence behind bars. Last week, ministers said pay rises of up to £5,000 would be given to some officers at 31 prisons in London and south-east England with recruitment problems. But the POA said the pay rise had "incensed" its members, many of whom would not benefit. In November, thousands of prison officers staged a 24-hour strike because of health and safety concerns. The High Court ordered the POA to suspend the protest and talks later took place with the government, focusing on pay and pensions. The Ministry of Justice announced last month that the National Offender Management Service would be scrapped and replaced with a new prison and probation service aimed at cutting crime and reforming offenders. Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon said: "The Tories' complacent attitude to relations with prison staff suggests they are still not serious about resolving the crisis they have created in our prisons." Beneath a grotto of the Virgin Mary, lie flowers and teddy bears left by well-wishers in memory of the children of unmarried mothers, described at the time as "fallen women". It is believed nearly 800 children are buried in the grounds of what was once a mother and baby home run by nuns in Tuam, County Galway. A child died nearly every two weeks between the mid-1920s and 1960s. After world-wide publicity, the Irish government announced there is to be a state-wide investigation. Although the terms of reference of the inquiry have yet to be finalised, they will include the high mortality rate and burial practice at mother and baby homes. The inquiry will also ask whether clinical drug trials were carried out on children and whether there were forced adoptions. JP Rodgers was born in the Tuam home and has written two books about his forced separation from his mother. She was put into care for begging when she was less than three-years-old and spent most of her life in Catholic Church-run institutions until she ran away to England when she was 34. Her son was fostered when he was five and spent a happy time with his new family but his mother never gave up hope of them being re-united. Eventually, after decades apart, they were reunited. "The day we separated she cut off a lock of my hair as a keepsake and she vowed that no church or state would be able to claim her son as long as she kept his hair", he said. "Growing up I knew there was something radically wrong with Irish society. "It was wrong for any church to separate a mother from her infant. You can't commit a greater crime against humanity." The Ireland at the time was anything but a true republic. One faith, Christianity and the Catholic Church in particular, dominated so many aspects of life. Sex outside marriage was more than just a sin. The domination of the church was one in which the state and the people at the time willingly colluded. The victims were not just women and young girls who got locked up because they were pregnant. We now know from recent state reports they included children - the victims of institutional and clerical child sex abuse. Dr Lindsey Earner-Byrne, an historian at University College Dublin, has studied the period and said the new Irish state set itself up as a bastion of Catholicism and moral purity in opposition to its former master, Britain. But she said a high price was paid for that puritanical intolerance. She said: "It was black and white and if you deviated you were ostracised. And one way of deviating was having sex outside marriage. "So, women who did paid the highest price along with their children - and that was to be relegated to an institution or to take the boat to Britain." The Tuam grave issue is something the people of the County Galway town have given a lot of thought to. One woman said that as, a single mother, a midwife asked her whether she wanted to give her son up for adoption as recently as 22 years ago. Another said: "The church got away (with it) for so long and it's not right". But an elderly man took a different view: "We all knew about the home for unmarried mothers and pregnant ladies. "The babies had to be buried somewhere. It was a sign of the times." In this whole affair, little has been said about the role of men in fathering children outside marriage. Others said we are seeing the past through the prism of the present. But how much has changed? Some might say: "Not much". As recently as 2012, more than 100 children in Irish state care were reported missing in the five-year period up until then. The Catholic Church has declined to be interviewed by the BBC. A spokesman for the Beauty and the Beast star confirmed the pictures - which show her trying on various outfits - were stolen. "Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen," her publicist said. "They are not nude photographs. Lawyers have been instructed and we are not commenting further." News of the theft comes a week after Watson sparked fierce debate over whether she was anti-feminist for exposing part of her breasts in a Vanity Fair photoshoot. The actress was previously threatened in 2014 with a leak of nude images, after a speech she gave on gender equality as a UN Ambassador for Women. Speaking at a Facebook event in 2015, she said: "I knew it was a hoax, I knew the pictures didn't exist. "The minute I stepped up and talked about women's rights I was immediately threatened - within less than 12 hours I was receiving threats." Last month, a man in the US was jailed for nine months for hacking into the online accounts of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, and stealing private information, including nude videos and photos.

In fact, it's a mere formality. Ahead of the summit, Mr Cameron has spoken to other EU leaders individually about his reform agenda. He will need them on board if, as promised, he'll settle for nothing less than fundamental changes in the EU ahead of Britain holding an in/out referendum by the end of 2017. So what is David Cameron asking for? In broad brush strokes he wants: Don't expect much more detail than that out of this summit. The prime minister is careful not to give too much away in public. After all, this is a process of negotiation in Europe and of persuasion at home to convince eurosceptics that any deal he eventually gets was hard won and significant. And what kind of reception can he expect from other EU leaders? In Britain, discussion about Europe can frequently smack of "us and them" sentiment but watch and listen to David Cameron following his election victory last month. He literally oozes relaxed confidence. In general. EU reform is no exception. And he is not wrong, for now. Mainland Europeans, accustomed to laborious consensus politics (such as in Germany) or political theatre that's high in drama and all too often thin on results (like Italy) speak admiringly or even in awe about the UK and its combative parliament and no-nonsense way of getting things said and done. And David Cameron has just provided another stark example of this. Complaining about the EU is commonplace across its member countries these days. But the prime minister has simply declared "we want a different relationship with a reformed EU, otherwise we'll take a vote on whether to leave". As we've travelled across Europe over the past few weeks and months, we've met a number of politicians - in Spain for example - who've expressed some exasperation at Mr Cameron calling an EU referendum. But my sneaking suspicion is that it's because those same politicians know their electorate want a better deal from the EU too. There's a fear that if every country pushes for themselves, that could, potentially, lead to the unravelling of the European Union. Germany calls it Pandora's Box. The Spanish expression is Opening the Melon. French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron blames Margaret Thatcher and her special EU deal, the rebate, for - as he put it - destroying the EU budget. "I've seen it myself at these meetings," he said. "Now everyone wants their own cheque." He used a very determined tone when he insisted that Britain could not be allowed to "cherry pick". I've mentioned this here on the blog before, but I'll repeat it because it is so memorable, that the Germans call this stance "Extrawurst" or extra sausage. Using a fabulous British expression now - David Cameron really has put the cat amongst the pigeons. But rather than alienating or isolating the UK, many EU leaders are - and let me emphasise that this is before negotiations begin and potentially get dirty - lining up to say how much they want Britain to stay in the EU. Now if I were cynical, I could say a lot of that has to do with the fear of losing one of the largest net contributors to the EU budget, one of only two decent sized and active military forces in the EU, with a permanent seat on the UN National Security Council, a pretty good relationship with the United States and a determination to stand up to Russia. There is also genuine and widespread support amongst leaders for the prime minister's drive to make the EU more competitive, with a stronger single market and less bureaucracy. But European smiles disappear when it comes to David Cameron's push to curb internal EU migration. He wants to put other EU members off coming to live and work in Britain by cutting their benefits. Poland is furious. Hundreds of thousands of its countrymen and women live in Britain. Jacek Rostowski, Poland's former finance minister and chief adviser to the Polish prime minister until the recent political upheaval there, told me: "You can't discriminate between EU citizens in competition for jobs, just as you can't discriminate between EU citizens on EU territory in access to health services. "Imagine if British people who retire in France or Spain had differential access to French and Spanish health services. That gives you some idea of what would happen if the boot was on the other foot." Germany objects too. MP Michael Fuchs told me Mr Cameron's proposal tramples on the Freedom of Movement - one of the EU's core principles. Spain's EU Minister, Inigo Mendez de Vigo, simply shook his head, insisting: "There are certain values, certain principles we all share - well, we cannot touch them, we shouldn't touch them - and we're not going to do it." So where do we go from here? His proposals formally submitted this evening during the summit, David Cameron hopes substantial negotiations and technical discussions can start in earnest. The European Commission will be charged with working out whether his ideas, if accepted by fellow EU leaders, would need treaty change or not. The prime minister admits the road ahead is a long one. Yet his chosen timetable - to be done and dusted with the deal and the referendum by the end of 2017, many predict even sooner - is very short indeed. In Brussels' terms, at least. Albion beat Edinburgh-based Lowland League side Spartans on penalties in the first round but could be eliminated for fielding an ineligible player. Crusaders will be at home to Motherwell's Under-20s side who beat Queen's Park on Wednesday. Two teams from the Republic of Ireland are participating for the first time. Bray Wanderers will travel to Elgin City while Sligo Rovers have home advantage against Falkirk. The matches are scheduled for 2/3 September. This is the second season in which two clubs from Northern Ireland and two from Wales are taking part in the competition which involves clubs from the Scottish Championship and Leagues One and Two as well as teams from the Highland and Lowland Leagues. Last year Crusaders lost 2-1 to Livingston while Linfield were beaten 2-0 at Queen of the South. The competition was won by Dundee United who beat St Mirren in the final in March. See the full draw for the second round of the Scottish Challenge Cup David Thompson, 35, from Tingley, died in hospital a month after the BMW he was in hit a tree and a lamppost on the Wrenthorpe Bypass in Wakefield on 18 April. A 21-year-old man from the city was arrested on Friday and bailed. The 27-year-old driver of the BMW remains in hospital. A silver Mitsubishi was also involved in the incident, police said. Thursday was declared a public holiday to allow supporters of the 89-year-old to attend the inauguration. The ceremony had been delayed by a court petition filed by his main rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, over allegations of widespread electoral fraud. But the Constitutional Court dismissed the case, declaring Mr Mugabe's re-election "free, fair and credible". Mr Mugabe won with 61% of the presidential vote against 34% for Mr Tsvangirai on 31 July. By Nomsa MasekoBBC News, Harare Robert Mugabe's inauguration was witnessed by thousands of jubilant supporters and invited guests in Zimbabwe's biggest sports stadium on the outskirts of Harare, amid tight security. Many former heads of state and deputy presidents attended the event, but tellingly very few of the continent's current leaders. This is perhaps a tacit acknowledgement of the concerns which have been raised around Zimbabwe's disputed election, in which Mr Mugabe emerged victorious with more than 60% of the ballot. There were loud cheers from the veteran leader's supporters when he read out his oath. In his inaugural speech, Mr Mugabe attacked Western nations for refusing to accept the election results and took a swipe at his main rival, MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, describing him as a "sore loser". He also made time to speak out against homosexuality, saying it was a filthy disease that destroys nations. Zanu-PF is now firmly in control and the party has vowed to press ahead with its economic empowerment policy, which seeks to take over foreign-owned businesses. Zimbabwe will be closely watched in the weeks and months to come. The elections ended a fragile power-sharing government formed by the two men in 2009 under pressure from regional leaders following elections the year before marred by violence and allegations of electoral fraud. Outgoing prime minister and opposition leader Mr Tsvangirai said he would not be attending the inauguration ceremony. "Expecting Tsvangirai to attend the inauguration is like expecting a victim of robbery to attend a party hosted by the robber," his spokesman, Luke Tamborinyoka, told AFP. The BBC's Brian Hungwe in the capital, Harare, says there was an air of excitement at the national sports stadium for inauguration ceremony, with free fizzy drinks and T-shirts reading "Mugabe fearless revolutionary" being given to the crowds. One of the banners in the stadium read: "It's Africa versus Europe with Zimbabwe as the new battlefront." There were loud cheers from the thousands of his supporters when he read out his oath, pledging to "observe, defend and uphold the constitution of Zimbabwe". In his inaugural speech, Mr Mugabe attacked Western nations for refusing to accept the election - the UK and US have expressed concerns about the vote, and the US has refused to remove targeted sanctions against certain individuals and companies until further political reforms are made. "These Western countries hold a different negative view of the electoral process. Well, there's nothing we can do about their moral turpitude,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted Mr Mugabe as saying. "We are not curtsying or bowing to any foreign government, however powerful it is or whatever filthy lucre it flaunts. A guide to rigging allegations "We abide by the judgment of Africa. America dares raise a censorious voice to contradict Africa's verdict. Who gave them the gift of seeing better than all of us?'' Mr Mugabe said. The African Union has said that any irregularities were not enough to overturn the margin of victory. "I have grave concerns over the conduct of the election, and the flaws highlighted in the South African Development Community (Sadc) and African Union observation missions' initial assessments," UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement on Thursday ahead of the inauguration. "There is strong evidence that these elections fell short of Sadc's own guidelines and the Zimbabwean electoral law. As such, we are concerned about the potential implications for the region." It was critical that reforms advanced under the power-sharing government were not lost, he added. In his speech, Mr Mugabe promised to continue with controversial economic reforms which will force all companies to cede economic control to black Zimbabweans. "The mining sector will be the centrepiece of our economic recovery and growth. It should generate growth spurts across sector, reignite that economic miracle which must now happen," the AFP news agency quoted him as saying. Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) lost two court cases related to fraud claims in last month's disputed elections. Rulings were issued despite the MDC withdrawing its case saying it would not get a fair hearing. The party alleged that more than a million voters were prevented from casting their ballots in polling stations, mostly in the capital and urban areas considered to be MDC strongholds. The Zimbabwe Election Support Network, which placed 7,000 observers around the country, has also judged the election flawed. MDC officials have indicated they are unwilling to continue their partnership government with Zanu-PF. Mr Mugabe will serve another five-year term. Under the new constitution approved in a referendum earlier this year, he will be able to serve another term after this. The 89-year-old politician served as Zimbabwe's first post-independence prime minister between 1980 and 1987, and has held office as president ever since. The 22-year-old has scored 43 goals in the last two seasons for East Thurrock, including 21 in their first National League South campaign last term. His performances have earned him the Rocks' players' player of the year award for two successive years. Manager Jay Saunders told the club website: "Tom is someone I've been after for a few seasons." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The West Brom man, 37, will miss Friday's game against New Zealand because of a thigh injury but could still feature in Baku on 10 June. With Conor Washington and Jamie Ward missing, Kyle Lafferty is included despite his lack of recent game time. Accrington Stanley forward Shay McCartan is handed a first call-up. McCartan, a former Down minor gaelic footballer, has previously played for the Northern Ireland Under-21s. Like McAuley, Watford defender Craig Cathcart will not be risked against New Zealand because of a knock so manager Michael O'Neill has named Southend's Adam Thompson and Burton Albion's Tom Flanagan in the 25-man squad. Thompson could add to his two caps as he returns to the squad after a six-year absence while Flanagan is uncapped despite having been included in a number of squads. With strikers Washington and Ward unavailable, in-form Ross County forward Liam Boyce and Charlton's Josh Magennis are being tipped to start in Azerbaijan. QPR striker Washington is missing because he is getting married while Nottingham Forest forward Ward is injured. Washington and Ward scored Northern Ireland's goals in their last game, which was the 2-0 qualifier win over Norway in March. Lafferty has not played any competitive football since coming on as a late substitute in the Norway game and has been released by Norwich City. O'Neill said that Lafferty had "worked very hard" at a squad training camp in Manchester last weekend. "The big part of last week and this week is to assess which players are most game ready," added the Northern Ireland manager. Boyce appears in that category after scoring 23 goals in his 34 games for Ross County this season. "He offers a lot. His range of goals has been impressive," said O'Neill. "He's deceptively quick, and good at link-up play. He's adaptable and a really good player. " O'Neill's side are second in Group C, five points behind leaders Germany, but two ahead of the third-placed Czech Republic. Northern Ireland squad Goalkeepers: McGovern (Norwich City), Mannus (St Johnstone), Carroll (Linfield) Defenders: McAuley (West Brom), Evans (West Brom), Hughes (Hearts), Cathcart (Watford), Brunt (West Brom), C McLaughlin (Fleetwood), Hodson (Rangers), R McLaughlin (Oldham), Thompson (Southend), D Lafferty (Sheffield United), Flanagan (Burton Albion) Midfielders: Davis (Southampton), McGinn (Aberdeen), Norwood (Brighton), Ferguson (Millwall), Dallas (Leeds), Lund (Burton Albion), Paton (St Johnstone) Strikers: K Lafferty (Norwich), Magennis (Charlton), Boyce (Ross County), McCartan (Accrington Stanley) It blamed Awa Dabo, a Gambian national, for the "deteriorating performance" of her office, driven by what it called her "strained relations" with staff. Neither she nor the UNDP has commented. But local media have linked the shock move with Ms Dabo's alleged criticism of controversial elections on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar last year. In a statement, the foreign ministry did not comment on the reports, but urged the UNDP to remind its staff that their first priority was to work closely with the Tanzanian government to help it meet its development targets. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a UNDP official said that Ms Dabo had been deported on the same day the government issued the order, under a security escort. Zanzibar's controversial election re-run in March 2016 prompted a US government aid agency to withdraw nearly half a billion dollars of funding from Tanzania, describing the vote as "neither inclusive nor representative". The opposition in the semi-autonomous archipelago boycotted the presidential poll, which was won by a landslide by the candidate from Tanzania's ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party. Opposition MP Paskal Haonga condemned the move to expel Ms Dabo, saying it soiled the reputation of Tanzania in international diplomatic circles. NHS Highland is looking for GPs willing to take up posts in some of the most beautiful and remote parts of Scotland. Adverts will appear in Leeds later, the second English city targeted by health chiefs searching for doctors who want to "live the dream". Two years ago Dr Clare Whitney moved from an urban practice in Lancashire with 17,000 patients to Broadford in Skye, where she has just 2,000 patients and a brand new health centre. "The first main difference I saw when I moved up here was having the luxury of time," she said. "Longer appointments for every patient and being able to work with a much closer team, along with the lifestyle of living on the beautiful Isle of Skye." Although living and working in some of the most stunning scenery in the UK sounds attractive, there are currently around two dozen vacant GP positions in rural parts of the Highlands and Islands. Scottish GPs are put off applying for jobs in remote areas by levels of responsibility which are no longer required in urban practices. Dr Whitney said: "There are practices where you would be working your evenings and being on-call overnight, and being on-call up here is very different. "It has been the case where we have been first on-scene to a road traffic accident where you're managing the casualty with what you have available to you at that time. "Ambulances are scattered a little bit more widely up here so it may be 20 minutes or half an hour before an ambulance can come along." In the last year, NHS Highland has spent ??1m on locums to cover a vacant GP practice in Thurso at the very top of the Scottish mainland. Later this month, it will start a regular boat charter to take GPs from Skye to treat patients on Muck, Eigg, and Rum who have been without a resident GP for two years. However, NHS Highland hopes to capitalise on the unusual aspects of the job, along with extra funding, to encourage doctors in search of a different lifestyle. It has employed the services of an advertising agency based in Jersey to promote life on islands and other remote communities. Some positions come with "golden hellos" as a cash incentive to doctors to take them up. NHS Highland's operating manager Gill McVicar said: "We are taking an opportunity presented by doctors in England being a little bit disenchanted with some of the changes which have been happening in the English health service. "We thought we would give this a go in the north of England and see how it goes from there." When asked whether the health board is poaching English GPs, Ms McVicar said: "Absolutely. Our view is that some of these people will be moving anyway and we would like to encourage them - if they are considering a change - to consider the Highlands." A previous advertising drive in Liverpool last month yielded six inquiries from doctors who said they would consider applying for jobs in rural practices in the future. There are currently vacancies in the Small Isles of Muck, Eigg and Rum, the Kintyre peninsula, rural Argyll, and Arisaig and Mallaig on the north west coast. Three GPs in Skye are also due to retire in the next few years. More on the story will be aired on You and Yours on BBC Radio 4 at 12:15 on Monday. His opponent for the FA Cup fourth round is Arsenal Ladies striker Kelly Smith, a three-time Women's FA Cup winner. Success for the Gunners' men's team has been harder to come by in recent years but Smith, an Arsenal fan and season-ticket holder, thinks their trophy drought could soon be over. She told BBC Sport: "The FA Cup is the main trophy we can contend for so I think all eyes and focus will be on that. "Arsenal are trying to push for a Champions League spot, which will be difficult, but the FA Cup is the one trophy they will want to try and win. "I know the fans are frustrated because we haven't won a trophy for eight years but I still think Arsene Wenger is the man for the job. He has money to spend now and hopefully he can strengthen the squad in this transfer window. "Theo Walcott's new deal has provided a boost too and I don't see any reason why Arsenal cannot go all the way." Smith is backing Arsenal to beat Brighton on Saturday but thinks Luton will spring a surprise against Norwich, while Lawro is tipping Millwall to pile on the pain for Aston Villa on Friday night and MK Dons to shock QPR. * Away team to win at home in the replay A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points. Last week, Lawro took on actor and comedian Russell Brand. Lawro got three results right, including one perfect score, and his score of five saw him beat Brand's tally of three (three correct results with no scores). Both Lawro and MOTD commentator Guy Mowbray pick up an extra point this week after correctly predicting the result of Wednesday's rearranged game between Arsenal and West Ham, but his other Boxing Day opponent Marco Gabbiadini got the outcome wrong. This season, we will also be keeping a record of the total scores for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all Lawro's predictions had come off (also at the bottom of the page). All kick-offs at 15:00 GMT unless otherwise stated.

Lawro did not make a prediction before the rearranged Chelsea-Reading game on 22 August. Make your own predictions to see how the Premier League will look after this weekend. BBC Sport's Marc Higginson has put together a little quiz to get the grey matter ticking over. Good luck! Taulupe Faletau, George North and Jamie Roberts were the three wildcards - players based outside Wales - included in their squad for the November Tests. That meant Priestland was omitted. Asked if he had considered the national selection policy before re-signing for Bath, the 30-year-old former Scarlets fly-half said: "No, not really." Priestland added he had not spoken to anyone in Wales about the possibility of returning to play for one of the nation's four regional teams. "I'm settled up here," he said. "I enjoy playing in this league. I enjoy living in Bath, so for me it would be my preferred option to stay up here. "And thankfully they wanted me to stay as well." Priestland joined Bath after the 2015 World Cup, later reversing his decision to take a sabbatical from Wales internationals. In October, he backed the Welsh Rugby Union's selection policy, and said he expected to be omitted from their autumn games against Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa. Priestland's season has been disrupted by injury, but he says he has "loved his time" at Bath. He added: "It's competitive every week and it's all different challenges. "You're playing in front of good crowds and good teams and the standard's very good in this league as well. "When they offered me a contract it wasn't a tough decision to make." Bath are fourth in the Premiership but have lost their past three matches - to Wasps, Exeter and Newcastle. Priestland said: "Everyone here is excited about the direction the club is going. Everyone's impressed by the coaches. "I know it dropped off a little bit recently, but you can still see some improvement in the way we're playing. "If we can sort a few things out, I'm sure we'll go back to challenging for the top of the table and hopefully we can do that for the next few years as well." Mr Sutton, from Llantwit Major, was reported missing on Tuesday morning. South Wales Police said the body was discovered in a field near St Donats on Wednesday at 16:20 GMT. Formal identification is yet to take place. The family of Mr Sutton have been informed. The UN's human rights office said streets were full of bodies. Meanwhile, the UN children's agency cited a doctor as saying a building housing as many as 100 unaccompanied children was under heavy attack. Rebels, who have held east Aleppo for four years, are on the brink of defeat. Thousands of people are reportedly trapped in the last remaining neighbourhoods still in rebel hands, facing intense bombardment as pro-government troops advance. The Syrian government's ally Russia, which has rejected calls for a humanitarian truce, earlier said any atrocities were "actually being committed by terrorist groups", meaning rebel forces. Rebel officials said on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached to evacuate civilians and fighters from besieged areas but there has been no confirmation from the Syrian government or Russia. The UN Security Council will discuss the situation in Aleppo later on Tuesday. "We're filled with the deepest foreboding for those who remain in this last hellish corner" of eastern Aleppo, UN human rights office spokesman Rupert Colville told a news conference. He said that 82 civilians had reportedly been killed by pro-government forces, of whom 11 were women and 13 children, adding that the death toll could be much higher. "Yesterday evening, we received further deeply disturbing reports that numerous bodies were lying on the streets," Mr Colville added, while admitting it was hard to verify the reports. "The residents were unable to retrieve them due to the intense bombardment and their fear of being shot on sight." Meanwhile, Unicef quoted a doctor in the city as saying: "Many children, possibly more than 100, unaccompanied or separated from their families, are trapped in a building, under heavy attack in east Aleppo". Ibrahim abu-Laith, a spokesman for the White Helmets volunteer rescue group, said 90% of their equipment was out of operation and only one medical point was still working in the besieged areas. There was no first aid equipment left, he added. He said volunteers were using their hands to pull people out of rubble, but some 70 people were stuck and could not be extracted. It is hard to know exactly how many people are in the besieged areas, although one US official with knowledge of efforts to secure safe passage for people in the city told the BBC that there were around 50,000 people. Other local sources say there could be as many as 100,000, with people arriving from areas recently taken by the government. Eastern Aleppo evacuees - in pictures Former Chancellor Osborne: UK 'shares failings' over Syria Activist Lina Shamy: "Humans all over the world, don't sleep! You can do something, protest now! Stop the genocide". Bana Alabed, aged 7: "I am talking to the world now live from East #Aleppo. This is my last moment to either live or die." White Helmets tweet: "All streets & destroyed buildings are full with dead bodies. It's hell." Abdul Kafi Alhamado, teacher: "Some people are under the rubble, no-one can help them. They just leave them under the rubble until they die - these houses as their graves." The 'final goodbyes' from Aleppo Russia's military says 98% of the city is now back in government hands. According to the AFP news agency, the rebels have control of just a handful of neighbourhoods, including Sukkari and Mashhad. The Syrian army's Lt Gen Zaid al-Saleh said on Monday that the battle "should end quickly", telling the rebels they "either have to surrender or die". The UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), has also said the battle for Aleppo had reached its end, with "just a matter of a small period of time" before "a total collapse". UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was alarmed by the reports of atrocities and had instructed his special envoy to Syria to "follow up urgently with the parties concerned". France and the UK requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council for Tuesday to discuss "the worst humanitarian tragedy of the 21st Century unfolding before our eyes," AFP quoted ambassador Francois Delattre as saying. The meeting will be held at 17:00 GMT. The UN's humanitarian adviser on Syria, Jan Egeland, earlier spoke of "massacres of unarmed civilians, of young men, of women, children, health workers". He named a pro-government Iraqi Shia militia as being responsible for the killings, but placed overall blame for any atrocities in the hands of the Syrian and Russian governments. "Those who let them loose in this area are also accountable," he said. In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr Egeland was not in full possession of the facts on the ground. "If he did, he would be paying attention to the atrocities that are actually being committed by terrorist groups," he said. For much of the past four years, Aleppo has been divided roughly in two, with the government controlling the western half and rebels the east. Syrian troops finally broke the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes, reinstating a siege on the east in early September and launching an all-out assault weeks later. By lunchtime, the five biggest losers on the FTSE 100 were all mining firms, led by BHP Billiton, which sank by 5.6%. Overall, the benchmark 100-share index was down 91.37 points or 1.49% at 6,045.87. Investor sentiment remains fragile amid fears over the health of the Chinese economy, a big consumer of commodities. Shares across the globe fell sharply on Monday after trading in China was halted early when its main indexes fell 7%, triggering "circuit breakers". Chinese shares extended their losses on Tuesday, but headed higher on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite index closing 2.3% up. Anglo American and Rio Tinto were 4.8% and 4.5% lower respectively, while Antofagasta shed 4.3% and Glencore lost 3.5%. Among the risers on the FTSE 100, Sainsbury's made early gains but was just 0.04% up at lunchtime, having fallen 5.2% the previous day. The supermarket giant's loss on Tuesday followed news that it had made an unsuccessful bid approach for Home Retail Group. On the currency markets, the pound slipped by 0.16% against the dollar to $1.4653 and by 0.18% against the euro to €1.3626. After resuming on 139-0, openers Daryl Mitchell and Brett D'Oliveira extended their first-wicket partnership to 215. But Mitchell (121) and D'Oliveira (80) went in quick succession as, stung by the second new ball, the visitors lost all 10 wickets for 97, all out for 312. Second time around, Worcestershire are on 124-4, with Mitchell gone for 54, still trailing Sussex by 143 runs. After their second double-century opening stand in three matches, Worcestershire still looked well set on 228-3 at lunch, despite another cheap dismissal for Tom Fell. But, when Sussex took the new ball, the hosts' multi-national attack suddenly looked a different proposition. Jofra Archer (4-91) and Vernon Philander (3-72) were the main protagonists as, coupled with some uneven bounce, the last seven wickets went down for 52 runs inside 15 overs. Mitchell now has 534 runs from his last five innings in three matches but it will not prevent Worcestershire's six-game winning run in the Championship, going back to last season, coming to an end. Sussex and England all-rounder Chris Jordan told BBC Sussex: "It has been a brilliant day for us. Even when their openers were putting on 215 we created chances but once David Wiese got us the breakthrough with two quick wickets we never looked back. "We just needed that bit of luck. With the bowlers we've got we knew we could get enough out of the wicket and run through them and that's what happened. "When they followed on, it was pretty similar and to get Daryl Mitchell out again just before the close was very important. It has given us an end to attack." Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "Our two openers toiled manfully at times and also took the opportunity to score runs. They batted really well but we lost three wickets before lunch. "Then it became increasingly difficult for new batsmen to come in for two reasons. The Sussex bowlers produced a really good effort and the pitch started to go up and down a bit. "You have to give Sussex's bowlers credit. They bowled well and have really turned up this game but we are still fighting. Any runs we can get that give us a lead are going to be worth double." Firefighters were called to the property in Kerr Drive at 16:30 on Saturday. The women was taken to hospital for treatment but later died from her injuries. A 78-year-old man was treated for smoke inhalation at Glasgow Royal Infirmary then released. A police spokesman said all other staff and residents were accounted for. He said the blaze was "not thought to be suspicious at this time". Seven residents had to be temporarily accommodated at a nearby care home. A joint investigation with the fire service is under way to establish the exact cause. A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Four fire appliances were immediately mobilised to the scene. "Firefighters put out a fire within a room of the property." A staff member at the care home head office said no one was available to comment. Gloucester meet Stade Francais on Friday, a year on from Scott's final appearance for Edinburgh. "Whenever you move from somewhere, you wonder whether you've made the right decision," Scott told BBC Points West. "But having the chance to run out at Murrayfield will vindicate my move. I'm desperate to be involved." Scott suffered a hamstring injury on Six Nations duty with Scotland and was out for two months, only making his return in Saturday's 34-20 defeat by Exeter. But the 26-year-old, who has scored 13 tries in 24 appearances for Gloucester, is pleased to be fit for the showpiece final, having missed a chunk of last season with injuries. "It's the same with all these big games - if you're not involved it's a horrible feeling watching from the sidelines, so I feel incredibly lucky to be fit at this time of the season for a change," he added. Gloucester finished ninth in the Premiership but know victory over Stade Francais will open up a route to the Champions Cup, as they will go into the play-offs instead of seventh-placed Northampton. Director of rugby David Humphreys said: "Everybody is well aware of the significance of this game and winning a trophy, but also of the potential to still achieve what we set out at the start of the year to do, which was to qualify for the Champions Cup. "The players are looking forward to trying to finish our season, which has been a little bit disappointing up to now, on a high. "Knowing the quality of the team that Stade Francais will put out, we've got to be at our best again and make sure that now we've got this far, we go on and win the competition." Southside With You recreates the summer afternoon in 1989 when the future US president wooed his future First Lady, then Michelle Robinson, in Chicago. Other films in the line-up include Swiss Army Man, a road movie in which Daniel Radcliffe plays a corpse. Sundance's 2016 edition runs from 21 to 31 January in Park City, Utah. The annual cinema showcase was founded by actor Robert Redford to promote independent movie-making. Ellen Page, Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and pop singer Nick Jonas are among the established names who appear in other films featured in the programme. The event will open on 21 January with Other People, a film about a struggling comedy writer who returns to his childhood home to care for his sick mother. This year's festival will see US actors Nate Parker and Clea DuVall unveil their feature directorial debuts, respectively entitled The Birth of a Nation and The Intervention. The former is a biopic of Nat Turner, the leader of an 1831 slave revolt in Virginia, while the latter tells of friends who join forces to "save" a couple's marriage. Documentaries included in the line-up include films about James Foley, the US journalist killed by the so-called Islamic State in 2014, and another about the Sandy Hook shootings of December 2012. The world documentary strand, meanwhile, will host the premiere of The Lovers and the Despot, a British film about a South Korean director and actress who claimed to have been kidnapped by North Korean dictator and cinephile Kim Jong-il. "From diverse backgrounds, places and perspectives, these independent artists are united by the power of their stories and vision," said Redford in a statement. "Their films will soon launch onto the global stage, beginning their journeys through our culture. A new year in independent film will start right here - on the mountain - in January." Recent success stories to have made their debuts at Sundance include Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station and 2015 Oscar-winner Whiplash. The case was triggered when authorities in Kempten, southern Germany, refused to let a local firm export cattle to Uzbekistan in Central Asia. EU rules say cattle must get a rest period of at least one hour, with food and water, after 14 hours of travel. The court has made it clear that those rules include travel in non-EU states. On longer journeys the animals must be unloaded and have a 24-hour rest with food and water, after another 14 hours of travel. The cattle transport by German firm Zuchtvieh-Export GmbH would have involved more than five days of travel in non-EU countries. The company's journey log had not specified rest points for the cattle during the 7,000km (4,340-mile) journey across former Soviet countries. Under the ECJ ruling, authorities can now demand inclusion of those welfare provisions in the journey log for live animal transports that leave the EU. An ECJ press release said that "the requirements relating to watering and feeding intervals and duration of journeys and resting periods also apply to those stages of the transport taking place outside the EU". EU-wide rules on protection of animals during transport were adopted in 2004 and further legislation was added later. A British Liberal Democrat MEP, Catherine Bearder, said EU animal welfare law had helped reduce unnecessary suffering during live transports, but "too often these rules are callously ignored, including when animals are shipped further afield". "Today's ruling should encourage us to ensure EU laws on animal transport are properly enforced, both at home and abroad." New pensioners are now allowed to take a maximum of £30,000 from their pension savings as a lump sum, up from £18,000. This is an interim arrangement before full flexibility over pension savings takes effect next April. However, there are fears that some new retirees will take the wrong decisions owing to a lack of advice. The changes mean: The government said that about 400,000 people would have more options in the next 12 months when it came to accessing their pension savings as a result of the changes. The changes affect those with defined contribution pensions. From next April, the overhaul will go further, giving retirees complete control over what they do with their pension savings. There has been criticism from the insurance industry, which said that Chancellor George Osborne had only given them 10 days to prepare for the changes. Huw Evans, of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said there was particular concern over the the rules for those who had bought an "irreversible" annuity - an annual pension income for the rest of their life - just before the chancellor's announcement. "Insurers remain committed to working with each other closely to help customers who wish to exercise their 'cooling-off' rights but needs the government to do its part to recognise the urgency of clarifying the post-Budget situation it has created," he said. Joanne Segars, chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), said that it would be a huge undertaking to organise good quality guidance, as promised by the chancellor, in time for April next year. She said that people needed help and support when making major decisions about financing their retirement. This guarantee of guidance will not be in place in time for those making decisions under the new temporary rules over the next 12 months. One woman held up a sign reading "develop a conscience", while another shouted that the firm was creating "machines that kill people". The yearly Google I/O event is a chance for the firm to show off its latest products and plans. Google could not be reached for comment about the interruptions. Away from the event, at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, another group of people were reportedly arrested in a separate incident regarding the ongoing "net neutrality" debate. Google launched this year's event with a keynote presentation lasting about two hours. During a segment explaining an enhanced battery-saving feature on a forthcoming software release, a protester could be heard shouting the name of Jack Halprin, a Google lawyer. Mr Halprin has been at the centre of a row involving tenants living in a residential block he purchased. The protester held a sign saying "stop Jack Halprin from evicting SF teachers". On stage, Google engineer David Burke attempted to deflect attention from the disturbance by jokingly suggesting the better battery life would come in useful during a "long protest". Later during the same keynote address, a man was removed by security staff shortly after shouting "you all work for a totalitarian company that builds robots that kill people". Last year, Google acquired Boston Dynamics, a company that had previously developed sophisticated robotics for the US military. Google said at the time that it would honour existing contracts Boston Dynamics had with the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). Over the past year there has been increased friction between long-time San Francisco residents and what some have dubbed the "Silicon Valley tech elite". Buses used to shuttle Google employees from residential areas to the company's campus have become a target for anger - with some protesters standing in the vehicles' way. In some cases buses have been vandalised. San Francisco locals said they were concerned that an increase in the numbers of wealthy technology workers was driving up the cost of living in the city. Google will be keen to make sure the focus remains on its new announcements at I/O, of which there were many. Aside from a closer look at new smartwatch hardware, the company was excited to show off major updates to its Android operating system, which has had a visual refresh. One feature that impressed the audience was smarter phone unlocking - if a handset owner's paired smartwatch is detected nearby, the phone will not require a password to unlock it. Google's agenda-setting conference is ostensibly aimed squarely at developers - but while there were no great surprises, there was plenty to interest users too. Android already has impressive market share in developing markets - but with overall smartphone adoption running at just 10%, Android One is a way for Google to consolidate its presence by delivering users affordable hardware and an up-to-date Google-supported software experience; in the process it delivers a blow to rivals including Microsoft. But its renewed attempt at capturing the living room TV will be a harder nut to crack - the market is more crowded than it was when it launched its first disastrous foray with Google TV four years ago. Lots of users already have capable set-top boxes, many TV makers (notably Samsung) have already established their own interfaces or partnerships, and others (like Logitech) have sour memories of their failed partnership. Similarly, Google has yet to move convincingly into enterprise; despite walling-off business data and enhanced security, many IT administrators will take some convincing to adopt a platform which has become synonymous with malware. With so many software products across multiple devices - from PCs, mobile and the living room to new arenas like our cars, and even our wrists - it is little surprise that Google is aiming for greater consistency between them. The cleaner and unifying "material design" in the new version of Android will help deliver a slicker experience. It should help shed Android's reputation as a disjointed and chaotic experience, and maybe - just maybe - give some Apple users pause for thought. Google also used the event to unveil Android TV. The platform is designed to work on big screens, and can be controlled by items such as a person's smartphone, games controller or, eventually, smartwatch. "We're giving TV the same level of attention that phones and tablets have enjoyed," said Mr Burke, on stage. Sony, Sharp and TP Vision - which manufactures Philips' products - will all release smart TVs using Google's software. Google has attempted to get stuck into the TV market several times before with little success - although its most recent TV-related launch, the Chromecast, has been well-received by consumers. Also shown off at the event was Android Auto, the company's attempt to get its software into the dashboards of popular cars. The mostly voice-activated system is being experimented with by car makers including Ford, Honda, Audi and Volkswagen - but should not be confused with Google's continued efforts to create a driverless car. The firm's new Google Fit service hopes to provide a central place for people to track all the health data gathered from fitness apps. The system has the likes of Nike and Adidas on board. Android One is at the other end of the tech spectrum - the scaled back software is designed to work on phones used primarily in the developing world. Absent from the keynote speech were any significant developments involving Google Glass eyewear or the firm's social network, Google+. As is typical at the developer event, those in attendance were all given free devices. One item this year was a cardboard box which could be folded into a makeshift virtual reality headset - a playful joke aimed at Facebook, which acquired virtual reality outfit Oculus VR earlier this year for about $2bn (£1.2bn). Details of Google's slightly less expensive do-it-yourself hardware were posted online. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Sub Lt Jeffrey Delisle admitted selling Canadian and Nato intelligence to Russia for $3,000 (£1,875) a month. He worked at top secret Canadian naval military facilities and had clearance to intelligence-sharing systems linked to countries such as the US and UK. For nearly four years he copied secret information onto memory sticks to share with his handlers in Moscow. He apparently walked into the Russian embassy in Ottawa in 2007 to volunteer his services, and was arrested in January. The case has resulted in severe and irreparable damage to Canada's relationship with its allies, a Nova Scotia provincial court heard on Wednesday. the BBC's Lee Carter in Toronto says the 41-year-old's guilty plea came as a surprise. It means a publication ban has been lifted allowing details from the case to be published for the first time. At a bail hearing in March, portions of a police statement were read out in which he reportedly described the day he walked into the embassy as "professional suicide". "The day I flipped sides... from that day on, that was the end of my days as Jeff Delisle," said the statement. He is expected to be sentenced in January and could face anything from five years to life in prison. Suspicions were raised when Delisle returned in 2011 from a four-day trip to Brazil - where he had met a Russian handler - with several thousands dollars in cash. That prompted the involvement of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who broke into an email account he shared with his handlers. He is the first Canadian to be convicted under the country's Security of Information Act, passed by parliament after the 11 September attacks on the US. Delisle joined the navy as a reservist in 1996, became a member of the regular forces in 2001 and was promoted to an officer rank in 2008. He reportedly worked for a unit that tracked vessels entering and exiting Canadian waters, with access to information shared by the Five Eyes community that includes Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Canada's military has not revealed any details about any information disclosed to the Russians. Mike Taylor, for the defence, said his client had never put any Canadian troops in danger. "There was no information that indicated where troops were or ships were," he told the Associated Press news agency. Eyeo - the maker of AdBlock Plus - plans to set up an "independent board" that will inspect which ads it allows to circumvent its technology. The move coincides with its launch of an extension for iPhones. It also comes the day after Eyeo successfully defended itself against Germany's biggest publisher. One expert said that it was too early to know how much of a difference the latest move would make, but added that many leading website operators were unlikely to be swayed by it. "They're commercial enterprises and they want to make as much money as they can," said Ian Maude from the research firm Enders Analysis. "But I do sympathise with the ad-blockers and internet users to the extent that you are now seeing vast volumes of data being gathered about people's behaviour without their express permission via trackers used by advertisers, and that's not a desirable outcome." In a nutshell, the term covers a variety of technologies used to prevent adverts appearing on internet-connected devices. They are already widely used on PCs, where the most common technique is to install a browser plug-in, but until recently were relatively rare on smartphones and tablets. Once installed, web pages should be decluttered of distracting content. Pages should also load more quickly, mobile data allowances should come under less strain and mobile device batteries can also last longer between charges. However, one consequence is that websites can see a drop in revenues, causing them to start charging for content or paying for technologies that frustrate the ad-blockers' efforts. Eyeo has faced criticism because of its business model: it provides its plug-ins to the public free, but charges publishers and websites a fee for "support services" to help them ensure certain ads get through. To qualify, the ads cannot be "annoying" or "intrusive". For example, pop-ups and ads that automatically start playing sounds cannot qualify for AdBlock Plus's whitelist. Google, Amazon and Microsoft are among those reported to have paid the Cologne-based firm. However, several German publishers resisted and attempted to sue the firm, claiming it was "a constitutional right of the press to advertise". On Tuesday, Axel Springer became the latest company to have its case rejected by the courts. It was the fifth legal action of its kind. Eyeo's latest move may help it head off further legal battles. Eyeo says it hopes to have the new review board in place by the end of next year, and eventually plans to give it full control over the whitelist's rules. "Users determined the original criteria and can object in our forum to whitelisting proposals - but since we were the only ad-blocker to offer such a compromise, we have taken on a large role in the day-to-day maintenance of the criteria," said AdBlock Plus's co-founder Till Faida in a statement. "We have been looking for a way to make the Acceptable Ads programme completely independent while also updating the criteria to evolve with changing forms of online advertising. "An independent board solves both issues." In addition, she highlighted that only a minority of the 700 publishers and websites currently on AdBlock Plus' whitelist had paid it money. She put the figure at about 10%. Mr Maude noted that did not necessarily mean the two things were unrelated. "Every company that pays Eyeo is on the whitelist, so there clearly is a connection between paying and being whitelisted," he said. The launch of Eyeo's extension for the Safari web browsers on iPhones and iPads follows Apple's decision to allow such plug-ins to work in iOS 9. The mobile operating system was released earlier this month, and several other smaller start-ups have already launched ad-blocking plug-ins of their own. One of the most popular services, Peace, was pulled shortly after its release, when its developer said he did not feel good about being "the arbiter of what's blocked". A leading alternative, Crystal, instead shares use of Eyeo's whitelist. Like Adblock Plus, it also allows customers to opt out of the list and block ads altogether. Some organisations have taken steps to discourage the use of the technology. The news site Cnet has prevented some of its content from being viewable when it detected ads were being blocked. And the Interactive Advertising Bureau has announced plans to offer smaller publishers a script that lets them detect consumers using ad-blocking tech as well. The IAB added that it was also exploring legal action of its own. Officers said it was out of character for the girl from Stockton, who is of British Pakistani origin, to go missing. She was last seen on Thursday in Cromwell Avenue and there was concern for her welfare. A Cleveland Police spokeswoman confirmed she was found on Saturday evening. The Christian Democrat who led two governments in the 1970s passed away at his home in Edegem, near Antwerp. In the 1979 European election, he won 983,000 votes, still a record for any election in Belgium. The president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, paid tribute to him as a "great European". In the European Parliament, the European People's Party group he once chaired said that it was "deeply saddened" by the death of Tindemans. His Christian Democratic and Flemish party paid tribute (in Dutch) on its website to an "exceptional statesman who embodied politics for an entire generation". 17 February 2017 Last updated at 07:48 GMT It's the fifth round of the competition and for fans of Lincoln it's a big deal to see their team get this far. Watch some of them tell Newsround what they're looking forward to. Pay-monthly customers can get one share - now worth $43.07 - with the chance of more for referring new customers. "This has never been done before," by a public company, claimed chief executive John Legere. T-Mobile, the third biggest US network after Verizon and AT&T, has a reputation for innovative promotions. It styles itself as the "uncarrier", offering customers free video-streaming options, gifts, tie-ups with ticket agency StubHub, and customer-friendly data plans that have been copied by rivals. The oversaturated US mobile market has sparked a price war with providers fighting for market share. T-Mobile customers qualifying for a free share will be able to earn up to 100 more if they refer new subscribers. The company said in a statement that some long-term customers will qualifying for two extra shares per referral. Mr Legere, known for his boisterous presentations and love of social media, said: "Get ready for a gratitude adjustment, America. This Un-carrier move is all about giving you a good thanking! No strings. No gotchas. Just 'thank you for being a customer'". T-Mobile US chief marketing officer Andrew Sherrard told the Reuters news agency: "Some [free offers] will cost us some money but over time we think it will be a really good investment." The company, controlled by Deutsche Telekom, said it added 2.2 million customers on a net basis in the first quarter ending 31 March. Media playback is not supported on this device The Black Cats' 10-season spell in the top flight ended when they lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth on Saturday and Hull City drew 0-0 at Southampton. Moyes, who took charge at Sunderland in July last year, has faced calls from supporters to step down. "I think it's a question for two or three weeks' time," said the Scot. "I think we all need to reflect and look at everything from top to bottom." Chairman Ellis Short, who has been trying to sell the club, apologised to Sunderland fans, and admitted mistakes had been made. Since Short bought the club in 2009 - he became chairman in 2011 - the Black Cats have had seven full-time managers, but have faced the threat of relegation in almost every season. "We need to improve both on and off the field, and despite the bitter disappointment there is a strong determination to do so throughout the club," said the American. "There is significant work to be done over the summer and when the season is concluded, we intend to share our plans to move forward with our supporters." Listen as fans react to Sunderland's relegation on 606 This is the first time Moyes has been relegated as a manager, and he warned fans just two games into the the season that he thought they would struggle. "I feel for the supporters because they're the people who pay their hard-earned cash to come and watch and we've not given them enough this season," said the former Everton and Manchester United manager. "I've had 400-odd games in the Premier League and I've got an idea of what a good squad looks like. "My feeling at the start of the season was it was going to be a hard graft, and I'd rather be up front with people than tell them something different." The defeat by Bournemouth was the ninth time Sunderland have failed to score in their past 10 games, and the 18th time they have failed to do so this season. Jermain Defoe, the team's top scorer this season with 14, has not found the net in more than 15 hours of Premier League football. "We've needed Jermain's goals," said Moyes. "At times we haven't given him enough quality supply. But there has been other times, like today, when a couple of chances came. In the early part of the season he was getting them and finishing them." Moyes was given the Sunderland job after Sam Allardyce left for his brief stint as England manager. He has not been helped by injuries, with Jan Kirchhoff, Lee Cattermole, Duncan Watmore, Jordan Pickford, Paddy McNair and Victor Anichebe among the first-team players to have had lengthy spells on the sidelines. Short said: "I acknowledge that during my ownership mistakes have been made, particularly in the area of player recruitment, and as a result we have found ourselves struggling to survive in recent seasons. "We had massive disruption during the summer transfer window, and an unprecedented number of injuries throughout the season. "These are difficulties which we have been unable to overcome and we are paying the price for that now." Media playback is not supported on this device Match of the Day pundit and former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer: David Moyes has got to take responsibility as has the owner. It's been a disastrous season from start to finish. Mismanagement at all levels and they've signed some poor players. They've been flirting with relegations for a number of seasons and it was inevitable it was going to happen. A £28m net spend in the last three transfer windows is comparable with teams in and around them, but I worry for Sunderland. There are two players that are assets in that team [Jordan Pickford and Jermain Defoe]. Other than that there's not too much in that squad that's worth a lot of money. Match of the Day commentator John Motson: A club badly managed from above for the last four years. At least three managers have got them out of it at the end of the season. The rot set in at Sunderland a long time ago and it came right from the top. I have no sympathy with them - they deserved to do down. I just hope somebody, whether it's David Moyes - a new owner perhaps - has got the opportunity to bring them back. They have been a great club, they've got great fans but I'm afraid the way the club has been run, they've deserved what they got. Former Premier League striker Jason Roberts: Those Sunderland fans are seeing a team and a club that I think has lacked leadership from the boardroom. That's why they have skipped from manager to manager with no real plan or identity. Maybe they need to go down, refocus, bring in some young hungry players and give a new "project" to the Premier League because Sunderland are a huge club and if they come back up next season, they will be a club many will fear. 21 April 2016 Last updated at 17:31 BST The Foxes have just four games left to play - and could be guaranteed the title in their next two matches.

Michael Turner hid his glazed creations around Lymington and posted clues to their whereabouts on his Facebook page. He asked those who found them to make a donation to the Royal British Legion. The artist said he came up with the idea after his parents gave him a box of World War Two memorabilia which had belonged to his grandfathers. He said he had also been inspired by last year's ceramic poppies art installation at the Tower of London. Memorabilia in the box included medals, photographs and a certificate of outstanding service. "It had quite a big impact on me just how much they went through," Mr Turner said. He created 11 poppies because it was a "poignant number" for Armistice Day, which marks the end of World War One on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month each year. He said he did not want to benefit "in any way", and instead said it was "about sending a message". Sian Morris, who found the first of the poppies, said: "So pleased to have found such a beautiful piece of artwork, especially something with such meaning. Just going to make my donation now." Annabel Cook said her 10-year-old daughter Edie Keates, who found another of the sculptures, was "thrilled" and was going to make a donation from her own savings. Police were called to a property in Heol Cae Gurwen, Gwaun Cae Gurwen, shortly after 10:30 GMT on Thursday. A South Wales Police spokesman said a cordon was set up as a precaution and to ensure public safety while officers searched the house. The guns and swords have been confirmed as being imitation or ornamental, lawfully held by a collector. Diversions in the area have now been lifted. Det Chief Insp April Casburn is accused over Operation Varec, which considered whether Scotland Yard's inquiry into phone hacking should be reopened. Prosecutor Mark Bryant-Heron said she "sought to undermine a highly sensitive and high-profile investigation". Ms Casburn denies one charge of misconduct in public office. The charge relates to 11 September 2010 when Ms Casburn, 53, from Hatfield Peverel, Essex, was working in counter-terrorism, managing the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit. Southwark Crown Court heard one of her team had been asked to carry out financial investigations as part of the Scotland Yard inquiry into phone hacking. It is alleged Ms Casburn rang the NoW's news desk at 07.51 BST to offer information in exchange for payment. She gave the names of two of the people under investigation during the conversation, it is said. Mr Bryant-Heron said: "The prosecution says she sought to undermine a highly sensitive and high-profile investigation at the point of its launch. "The prosecution says, and it's a matter for you 12, that the act of telephoning the News of the World to offer to sell information and the provision of some information during that call was misconduct, it was misconduct in public office. "It was a gross breach of the trust that the public places in a police officer not to disclose information on a current investigation in an unauthorised way, or to offer to do so in the future for payment." The newspaper did not publish anything and no payment changed hands, the court heard. Mr Bryant-Heron said Ms Casburn admits making the phonecall but denies asking for money, and says she had a reasonable excuse. She says she was concerned that resources that were supposed to be used to combat terrorism were being allocated to the phone hacking investigation, and that much of the information was already public knowledge. The court heard the call was taken by NoW journalist Tim Wood - who said she refused to give her name, but introduced herself as a senior police officer. Mr Wood told the jury: "The one thing that stands out in my mind is the fact that she kept going on about Lord Prescott. "Her saying that he was pressing for them to put charges on the News of the World, and she was saying that she felt it was wrong that he was interfering in the scandal, so to speak, and she resented that." He added: "She was almost justifying her call by saying that it was this interference by Prescott that had upset her." The detective told him six people were under investigation including former NoW editor Andy Coulson and reporter Sean Hoare, Mr Wood said. The court then heard from Det Supt Christos Kalamatianos who led the 60-strong National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit. He said his relationship with Ms Casburn was "cordial", but she had accused him of failing to support her and the unit on one or two occasions. She broke down in tears in the dock as her former colleague gave evidence and was comforted by a member of her legal team. When questioned about his working relationship with the defendant, Mr Kalamatianos told the court: "I believe I was managing her sensitively, I don't know that I was managing her well." Meanwhile, Detective Chief Superintendent Dean Haydon, who led Operation Varec in September 2010, told jurors that one financial investigator on Operation Varec admitted he had been at a dinner party with a journalist who worked for the Sun, and had discussed phone hacking. That investigator was subsequently removed from the team. The trial was adjourned until Tuesday. The 33-year-old was shown round the club's Auchenhowie training ground on Saturday. Talks will continue and a deal could be imminent. Barton was named in the Championship team of the season as Burnley secured the title. He has yet to agree a new deal with Burnley and could be tempted by a longer term contract at Ibrox. Rangers manager Mark Warburton is keen to add some experience and character to his squad in preparation for their return to the Premiership. Barton, who won one England cap, was named player of the year at Burnley this season. The former Manchester City, Newcastle, QPR and Marseille player joined the club when Frank McParland was the sporting director. McParland is now head of recruitment at Ibrox, and will be an influential figure as Barton weighs up his options. The transfer runs counter to Rangers' recruitment strategy of signing players with the potential to develop and rise in value. But Barton is a player McParland knows well and Warburton prefers to sign individuals whose nature and character he is already aware of.

Interim President Michel Kafando was reinstated on Wednesday after an intervention from the army and West African leaders. On Friday, his government ordered the presidential guards' unit that carried out the coup to be disbanded. At least 10 people were killed and more than 100 injured in clashes during the take-over which Gen Diendere described as "the biggest mistake". In a statement announcing the latest move, state prosecutor Laurent Poda said that the assets of 14 people, including Gen Gilbert Diendere and his wife Fatou Diendere, an MP for the former ruling party, would be frozen for three months. During this period, they would only be able to withdraw 300,000 CFA ($512) a month. On Friday, the first full meeting of the government since Mr Kafando's reinstatement decided to disband the presidential guard (RSP) and to dismiss the minister in charge of security. The RSP - a unit of 1,200 well-armed and well-trained men - is loyal to Blaise Compaore, the country's long-time ruler who was ousted in a popular uprising last year. They were unhappy about being integrated into the regular army. Members of the unit stormed the cabinet room on 16 September, seizing the interim president, the prime minister and others. A week later, when it became clear they did not enjoy popular support and after a threat from the regular army to step down or be ousted by force, the RSP withdrew. An emergency meeting of the regional bloc Ecowas earlier in the week also helped to bring a smooth end to the crisis. Mr Compaore is currently in exile and was accused of committing widespread abuses, and trying to change the constitution to extend his term in office.

A 24-hour operation on five lines had been due to start at weekends on 12 September but it was delayed in a row over staff pay and conditions. LU has now said a previous three-year pay offer will be extended to a fourth year and it would hire part-time staff. The RMT, Aslef and TSSA unions have said they are considering the offer. More on this story and other news from London They have been seeking assurances on how many night shifts their members would have to work amid concerns it could impact their work-life balance. Lengthy talks held at the conciliation service Acas have so far failed to make a breakthrough. LU has now offered to employ part-time staff to cover the shifts with a £500 bonus for all those working on the Night Tube lines - Jubilee, Victoria, Piccadilly, Central and Northern. The updated offer includes a pay rise of RPI inflation plus 0.25% in year four, as well as an average of 2% and RPI in the first year dropping to 1% plus RPI in years two and three. But it said the new deal no longer included a £200 bonus per Night Tube shift for drivers. LU has urged the unions to put the revised deal to their members. Steve Griffiths, chief operating officer at LU, said: "We have listened to union feedback and have made absolute guarantees which mean no existing driver will have to work the Night Tube, unless they choose to do so. Instead we will hire part-time train drivers. "We have also been working hard to secure a long-term pay deal in order to provide certainty for our staff and for London, so we are now adding a fourth year to the deal. "This does not come at any additional cost to the taxpayer as it will be covered by our business plan." Unions took industrial action during the summer having called for increased pay and a limit on how many all-night shifts their members would be asked to do. The body of Peter Wrighton was found in heathland near East Harling, in Norfolk, on 5 August. Earlier, officers were granted permission to continue questioning a man in his 20s arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday. Seven hundred people were also spoken to during police checks on Saturday. Detectives said they have now taken more than 170 calls since Wednesday and had received more dash-cam footage, while house-to-house inquiries were also being carried out. Det Supt Andy Smith, who is overseeing the investigation, said: "We are extremely pleased and grateful for the response from the public yesterday at the scene, which has helped us to identify further witnesses. "We are still keen to hear from any members of the public who were in this area on the relevant day and who have yet to speak to us." Mr Wrighton, from Banham, had been stabbed in his neck and head - with his body found near the Fiverways Junction, three miles south of East Harling. Earlier, a minute's silence was held in his memory at an annual show for the Thetford and District Canine Society, where the grandfather and his wife of 59 years once served on the committee. The retired BT engineer had been walking his dogs Gemma and Dylan when he was attacked. Police said about 100 officers were working in the area making inquiries, trawling through CCTV footage and reassuring local residents. You may not be surprised to learn though that his description of Swansea as an "ugly, lovely town" didn't go down well with the city's newest MP. Labour's Carolyn Harris used her traditional maiden speech to share details of her constituency with fellow MPs. She said: "Swansea East forms part of the geographical area that Dylan Thomas referred to as the ugly, lovely town. "I am afraid though that I have to challenge that description as today the view from Dylan's Kilvey is anything but ugly. In 2015, Swansea East boasts a vista that is economically exciting, architecturally beautiful, culturally and educationally groundbreaking, and environmentally innovative. It has a sporting track record that is the pride of Wales." By tradition, she also used her speech to pay tribute to her predecessors Neil McBride, Sian James (her former employer) and Lord Anderson of Swansea, who found himself described as "my political pin-up". You can read Carolyn Harris's speech here. Antoinette Sandbach was a member of the National Assembly for Wales from 2011 until her election as MP for Eddisbury in Cheshire at the election. She said in her maiden speech: "It is important that we recognise the strong links we have in our area. Speaking as someone who has both English and Welsh roots, I have been accused of being too English in Wales, and too Welsh in England. "I make no apology for being British, and we should perhaps reflect that what unites us is stronger than what divides us. Having experienced devolution first hand, it is clear that if decision making is taken closer to those affected by it, people will benefit. You can read Ms Sandbach's speech here. After a scoreless first 37 minutes, the hosts broke the deadlock with a Jamie Ellis try to lead 6-0 at the break. Ukuma Ta'ai surged through the Castleford defence to cross early in the second half, before Aaron Murphy added a third score for the Giants. Jermaine McGillvary crossed late on while the Tigers rarely threatened. Giants thought they had taken the lead through Joe Wardle on 23 minutes before the video referee spotted a knock on. Ellis' pace saw him score under the posts shortly before half-time to give Huddersfield a deserved six-point lead, with Danny Brough converting. After the break, Ta'ai collected a short pass from Brough and effortlessly shrugged off two challenges to cross for Giants' second try, with the Scotland World Cup half-back converting. Tigers struggled to impose themselves on the game after that and Murphy ran over in the left corner to further extend the hosts' lead. Brough missed his conversion but added two points from a penalty soon afterwards, before McGillvary added an unconverted try in the closing stages. Castleford looked like an entirely different side to that which beat Wigan Warriors 42-14 on Friday. The result sees Huddersfield climb to fifth in the Super League table. Huddersfield Giants coach Paul Anderson told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "Zero is always pleasing, regardless of who it is against. We are just starting to find our groove. "Just imagine what we are capable of if we actually play well, with the ball. "You can see they are working hard for each other, which is pleasing. If we can move a little quicker in the middle, we will be there or thereabouts." Castleford Tigers coach Daryl Powell told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "It was completely unrecognisable from the team that I have been working with for the last 18 months. "There are times when I am struggling to fathom what we are trying to achieve in games. I thought we defended really poorly. "I nearly fell asleep in the first half. It was a terrible game of rugby league. It is hugely disappointing. I asked for a reaction at half-time and did not get one. "We just could not find our game at all. Clearly that type of effort is not going to get us very much at all." Huddersfield: Grix; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Wardle, Murphy; Brough, Ellis; Huby, Robinson, Kopczak, Ferres, Hughes, Lawrence. Replacements: Crabtree, Wood, Ta'ai, Johnson. Castleford: Dorn; Clare, Channing, Webster, Carney; Finn, Gale; Lynch, Moore, Millington, Holmes, Moors, Massey.

Referee: James Child Attendance: 5,257 The "Pupil Offer" will allow pupils to work with organisations in the arts, science, sport, culture and heritage. Students in the first three years of secondary education will take part when it is launched in September. Sports Wales, The Arts Council and the National Museum of Wales will all be involved among others. The 40 schools in the scheme are already part of the Schools Challenge Cymru initiative, where £20m has been given to under performing schools to help them improve. In November, education minister Huw Lewis told a conference of university leaders he expected them to get involved with the Pupil Offer by opening their doors and facilities to pupils. Concerns were raised, however, about how practical that would be as students would need background checks before working with under-18s. The letter, dated 28 April 1804, was written when Nelson was "attempting to lure the French and Spanish fleet out of Toulon to give battle". Nelson did meet the enemy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where he was injured and died aboard the ship. The three-page letter is expected to fetch between £20,000 and £30,000. Auctioneer Charles Hanson said the letter revealed Nelson relied on smaller vessels to "inform him should the French fleet leave the safety of the harbour". The letter, addressed to Frank Sotheron - captain of HMS Excellent - states Nelson's wish for the captain to inform him of the movements of the French, saying: "In the event of their sailing... you will use every effort to communicate the same to me as early as possible". Nelson chased the French fleet to the West Indies but did not have the chance to engage in battle until the following year. "This battle remains renowned for the tactical skill employed by Nelson and for his courage in leading the first column of British vessels into the attack, having sent the immortal signal: 'England expects that every man will do his duty'," Mr Hanson said. The battle, which saw the Franco-Spanish fleet defeated, has been hailed as one of the most decisive naval battles of the Napoleonic wars. Potential buyers will bid on the letter at Hansons in Etwall, Derbyshire, on Saturday. Batsman Trott scored 19 runs in two innings during England's first Test defeat and struggled against the bowling of Mitchell Johnson. "I understand he is home already and this decision was taken 24 hours ago. "Inevitably, people will point the finger at David Warner, but clearly Trott has been managing this for some time. That is very much the message from the England camp. "You only have to look at the way Trott bats to see that he is an anxious individual. This process that he goes through before he starts every innings, he is clearly quite an uptight person. "I don't think anyone on tour, other than his friends, players and support group within the England camp, had any idea this would happen." "I don't think it is right that I'm playing knowing that I'm not 100%," said the 32-year-old. England coach Andy Flower added: "He needs time away from this environment and time with his family." Trott batted in all 10 innings when England retained the Ashes during the summer, averaging 29 runs, but he was dismissed for 10 and 9 during the first Test defeat at the Gabba. "I cannot currently operate at the level I have done in the past," said Trott, whose club Warwickshire offered their full support. "My priority now is to take a break from cricket so that I can focus on my recovery." Trott's display in Brisbane was described as "poor and weak" by Australia's David Warner, who also claimed England's batsmen had "scared eyes." England captain Alastair Cook said the comments were "disrespectful," a view shared by Flower, who said Warner's remarks had no impact on Trott's decision to leave. "Jonathan has been struggling with this condition for quite a while," added Flower. "We have been on tour for about a month and he has had his ups and downs through that month and it is not directly related to that. "I would also say players commenting to fellow professionals in the media is disrespectful and I think on this occasion he [Warner] has got that horribly wrong." Media playback is not supported on this device England will stay in Australia until early February, with a two-day fixture against a Chairman's XI starting on Friday, before the second Test in Adelaide on 5 December. Flower believes selecting Trott was the correct decision and is hopeful the 2011 ICC and ECB Cricketer of the Year will return to the international setup in the future. England's performance squad, which provides back-up to the main party, is also in Australia, but no immediate replacement for Trott has been called into Cook's squad. Ian Bell could move up the order to number three, while the spare middle-order spot will be filled by Jonny Bairstow, the uncapped Gary Ballance, or all-rounder Ben Stokes, who would offer an extra bowling option. Angus Porter, head of the Professional Cricketers' Association, said Trott's decision to end his tour was a "brave" one and that his organisation was ready to offer any help to the Warwickshire man. He added: "It would have been much easier in many ways to plough on, and not address the problem, and maybe that's what people would have done 10 or 20 years ago and we'd never have known why they performed badly. "At least we've grown up to the point that people acknowledge it, just as you shouldn't play on with a knee injury you shouldn't play on with a brain injury - you should seek treatment and get yourself right for the future." Trott made his England debut in the decisive fifth Test of the 2009 Ashes series and his century helped England secure a victory which regained them the urn. Since then, he has been a permanent fixture in England's Test and one-day teams - scoring 3763 Test runs at an average of 46.45 and almost 3,000 one-day international runs at 51.25. He is ranked number eight in the world rankings for ODI batsmen and is in the top 15 in the five-day format. However, he becomes the third England cricketer to depart a tour with a stress-related illness in recent years. Former opening batsman Marcus Trescothick left the 2005-06 tour of India and the 2006-07 Ashes tour of Australia, while left-arm spinner Michael Yardy flew home from the 2011 World Cup. The 11-year-old was found at the Daventry International Rail Freight Depot at 17:20 BST on Tuesday. Paramedics, including an air ambulance, attended the scene but the boy was pronounced dead. Det Insp Gareth Davies, from British Transport Police, said officers are working to understand "what happened and how this young boy came to receive these awful injuries". The death is currently being treated as "unexplained". Mr Davies said specially trained officers are supporting the boy's family as they "try to come to terms with this awful news". It's not a question of if the San Andreas fault ruptures in Southern California, but when. This was the message of US Geological Survey (USGS) scientist Dr Lucy Jones here at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. Giving a public lecture at the gathering of more than 20,000 geoscientists from across the globe, Dr Jones outlined the dangers and challenges Southern California faces as it waits for the next "big one". The region accommodates the major urban centres of Los Angeles and San Diego. At the time of the infamous earthquake that hit San Francisco in 1906, less than one in three US citizens lived in cities, but now the overwhelming majority of the American population is urban, and urban resilience is a big issue. Much of the current focus on earthquake planning is acted out in building regulations. Californian construction codes are based on satisfying a target of 90% probability that a building does not collapse. In other words, there is a tacit acceptance that 10% of buildings could collapse in the vicinity of the next maximum credible earthquake. Such earthquakes hit California once every three centuries or so. In addition, in the event of such a quake, some buildings that do not collapse will nonetheless remain uninhabitable, due to the risk of collapse in aftershocks. These are given a so-called "red tag". Past experience shows that this is a significant multiplier. In the magnitude 6.7 earthquake that hit Northridge, 20 miles north-west of Los Angeles in 1994, around 230 buildings collapsed but around 2,300 red tags were issued. Similarly, in a quake that hit the San Francisco Marina District in 1989, for every collapsed building, around 10 others receive a red tag. Carrying these results over to the worst-case scenarios for Los Angeles, this suggest that almost all buildings could become uninhabitable and still satisfy the definition of success for the building code. Seismologists at the US Geological Survey have simulated the effects of the next big Californian earthquake in a programme of study called ShakeOut. One of their computer models assumes that the next big event on the San Andreas fault will be magnitude 7.8, with a single event in which a rupture starts in Southern California near the Salton Sea and then shoots north along the fault to hit Los Angeles. In their model, the thick sediments that downtown LA sits upon amplify the strong shaking of the quake, which would happen around 75 seconds after the first small signal of the earthquake. Ground motions would be of "Intensity 9", corresponding to accelerations of one G, causing significant damage to buildings. The model suggests the collapse of possibly around 1% of the buildings in an area of 10 million people. The end result would be that around half the buildings in the area would have to be abandoned. But the model's most disturbing results show that beyond the building damage there would be significant disruption of inter-dependent infrastructure. Transportation, gas and electricity supplies, sewerage systems, water supplies and communications would all be affected. Whether a modern civic society could operate under such conditions is questionable. At the instant of the USGS model earthquake, debris would close roads, extinguish traffic lights, water supplies would be cut off, and emergency responders would have difficulty operating. Beyond that, the disruption of the supply chain also becomes an issue, pointed out Dr Jones. The move towards a "just in time" economy in grocery stores and elsewhere has introduced additional vulnerability. There are few warehouses or stockpiles of food on the western side of the San Andreas fault. The water system is vulnerable: 70% of the water pipes in Southern California are made of brittle concrete which would likely fail in a large quake, with LA served by water supplies that traverse the San Andreas fault. Even repairing the pipe network was stated as an issue, since current pipe manufacture in the US is insufficient to replace the damage in under six months. Replacement by polyurethane piping, which can withstand earthquake shaking, could overcome this problem. The impact of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans serves as a cautionary example of the impact on society of a major natural catastrophe. If water, power, transport and other infrastructure was cut off to downtown LA for six months or more, it seems likely that many commercial businesses would fail. In the case of earthquakes in particular, aftershocks could cause additional psychological distress that would likely result in the net movement of populations away from the stricken zone, again damaging local economies. The largest growth decade in the history of LA was the one that followed the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. In short, people left San Francisco and moved south. "It will be interesting to see where LA ends up going," said Dr Jones. "Critical infrastructure needs to be kept in place so that society can continue working." The last big earthquake that hit California, the one at Northridge, occurred when the internet age had just got going. Now, two-thirds of the data capacity of LA is carried in fibre optic cables that cross the San Andreas fault and would likely be broken in a large quake. Mobile phone antenna towers are not covered by earthquake building regulations. The magnitude 8.8 quake that hit Chile in 2010 wiped out all electronic communications for three days, Dr Jones said. And there are other vulnerabilities. The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are the largest in the US, with 80% of container traffic and 40% of total US imports going through them. While they themselves are not particularly vulnerable, transportation from those ports to the remainder of the US would likely be disrupted, claimed the USGS researcher, pointing out also that oil pipelines from these ports to Nevada and Arizona cross the fault, with the possibility of wildfires erupting should they be broken. San Francisco was destroyed by fire in 1906, not by the earthquake. Fire-fighting remains a huge problem in the face of a major quake, said Dr Jones. Cascading events, where disaster moves to catastrophe, must be avoided, she continued. The outcomes in Japan at Fukushima, where a chain of failures cascaded to a catastrophe, demonstrate the type of unforeseen consequence that may ensue following a major quake. Should a San Andreas quake coincide with the strong Santa Ana winds that frequently blow down over LA, fires could take hold and destroy large parts of the city. Answers to such vulnerability lie in cooperation within communities, claimed Dr Jones. And while the internet is adding a level of complexity and vulnerability to civic society, it may also impart some small hope, by allowing the development of early warning systems. Those 75 seconds between the initial (P-wave) shake of the next big quake and the devastating impact of the secondary wave could be critical in saving life. But Dr Jones's message rang clear: the viability of communities after a major event depends upon preparation now. Heavy rain on Thursday caused streams to overflow and drains to back up in Maryport, Flimby and Workington. The fire service received 220 calls between 17:30 and 22:00 GMT with most reporting vehicles stuck in up to three feet (1m) of water. Many houses were flooded. Landslips halted trains between Carlisle and Workington, Northern Rail said. Wigton's Nelson Thomlinson School closed after part of the building was flooded. The A595 was shut from the Castle Roundabout at Cockermouth to the Thursby roundabout near Carlisle. Sean Pattinson, of Grasslot, Maryport, told the BBC his street was badly hit. He said: "All the neighbours were rallying round grabbing sandbags, but the water was just too much. We just couldn't stop it." Flimby councillor Peter Kendall said people had been surprised by the torrential rainfall. "There was so much water coming down fast it overstretched everybody. "In these weeks before Christmas people are going to have major clean-ups and will need all the help they can get." Andy Brown, the Environment Agency's flood risk manager in Cumbria, said a number of flood warnings had been in place although several were likely to be lifted. "There were some horrific conditions last night in north and west Cumbria and we saw some really intense rainfall - about 40mm in a few hours. "Often, the roads and drainage cannot handle that intensity of rainfall and that's why you get flash flooding." Mr Brown warned further heavy rain is expected in parts of the county over the weekend and urged people to be prepared. You can follow all the latest news with BBC Local Live: Cumbria. Ines said she heard shots and then saw a man's body on the ground. "People were crying and everyone was running around," she told France's BFMTV. Another witness, Chelloug, told Reuters: "There was a police van and the guy came in an Audi A80, an old grey Audi. In pictures: Attack on police in Paris "He parked just behind the van and he got out with a Kalashnikov, and I heard six gunshots. I thought they were firecrackers, because we all looked around the road and there was no-one. "In fact, he was hidden behind the van and shooting at the police. I think he hit a policeman. As soon as the policeman opened the door of the van, he fell, I think. "As soon as we saw that, we all ran back inside the Alain Affelou shop. We hid and I went up to the first floor and we saw them (police officers) shoot him (the gunman). "It was a terrorist. He came out with a Kalashnikov and started shooting, but he could've shot us on the pavement and killed more people with a spray of shots - but he targeted the policemen, and fortunately there were the policemen who killed him." Meanwhile, French journalist and TV presenter Julien Courbet said he was in a nearby restaurant when the shooting began. He tweeted (in French) that he "never experienced such a scene of panic", adding that all the tables inside were overturned as customers ran for cover and lights were turned off. Mr Courbet later confirmed that he had arrived safely home and thanked his followers for their messages of support. Choukri Chouanine, manager of a restaurant near the site of the shooting, told the AFP news agency that "we had to hid our customers in the basement", saying there was "lots of gunfire". The Global Times said the Turks gave illegal passports to the Uighurs, who attempted to leave China. Some of the Uighurs' phones contained "terrorist" material, the paper said, and several confessed they were heading for Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Chinese authorities say they are fighting an Islamist rebellion in Xinjiang, the Uighurs' home region. More than 200 people died last year in bloody confrontations between Uighurs and Chinese security forces, hundreds of people have been arrested and dozens executed. Information about incidents in the region is tightly controlled. Activists say authorities have increasingly repressed the Uighurs, fuelling resentment. The Turkish embassy in Beijing and the police in Shanghai would not verify the latest story and it was not immediately clear why the information had just emerged. But the Global Times said the passport-selling scheme had been in progress for months. Each person paid 60,000 yuan (£6,380; $9,680) for forged and altered passports provided to them by the Turks, who had entered China legally, it said. One of the Uighurs arrested was a known terror suspect who had "on several occasions in the past broadcast transmissions that fanned ethnic hatred and discrimination in Xinjiang", the paper said. Dozens of civilians were killed in attacks across China apparently linked to the unrest in Xinjiang. The authorities have blamed Uighur separatists. News of the arrests comes two days after local media reported that Xinjiang police had shot dead six people who were allegedly trying to detonate a bomb. Who are the Uighurs? Officers said they surprised two people attaching a camera to a post in a city street on Wednesday evening. The two said they were acting on the orders of a criminal gang, which uses the cameras to monitor the movements of the security forces. Reynosa is racked by violence, with two drug cartels vying for control. The two suspects took officers to the locations of the other 37 cameras they had already installed. They had been put up at key street crossings in the city, at shopping centres and in residential areas. Officials did not say which gang was behind the installation. It is not the first time police have come across gangs installing surveillance cameras. On 22 May, a day after President Enrique Pena Nieto visited the city, they removed another 39 such devices. Reynosa, which is across the border from the Texan city of McAllen, is being fought over by the Zetas and Gulf cartels. Both gangs have been fighting for control of the region, regarded as a strategic commercial entry point into the US. Gay rights activist Frank Mugisha said more than 100 LGBTI people tried to participate in the celebrations in Entebbe near Lake Victoria. But many were escorted by police back to Kampala in minibuses. The minister for ethics and integrity had threatened to mobilise mobs to attack participants. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda. After being blocked from entering the Entebbe resort, several dozen participants moved on to another resort but were kicked out by officers. This is the second time the LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex] community has tried to hold gay pride celebrations in Uganda this year. In August, the authorities broke up a beauty pageant and arrested activists. The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga reports from Kampala that it is unclear why this event was targeted, as over the past four years celebrations have been held without much notice from the police. In 2014 a bill to further criminalise homosexuality was overturned in court. Basildon and Brentwood Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is looking to cut the service as part of plans to tackle a £14m deficit. Fertility Fairness said: "Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system and as such is worthy of treatment." John Leslie, of the CCG, said: "We have a legal duty to live within our means." The CCG, which is holding a series of public meetings to discuss the plans, has proposed: Sarah Norcross, co-chair of Fertility Fairness, said: "The announcement today is appalling. For people not to realise it is a health need is, I think, insulting to all those facing fertility problems." Mr Leslie said: "We believe these proposed measures represent a way to help us make important savings while having the lowest possible impact on patient care. "We do recognise however that some people will be more affected than others and we are keen to listen to the impact these proposals may have before we make any decisions on how to proceed." Christina Pinchess, 31, and two former colleagues deny child cruelty offences at Bright Sparks nursery in Taibach before it closed. A work placement student has told Swansea Crown Court she saw a child get "flung" by the wrist by a staff member. But giving evidence, Ms Pinchess rejected the claims against her. Asked directly by her defence barrister, Stephen Rees, whether she had ever been cruel to a child, she replied: "No." She was also asked if she had fed a child in a manner contrary to her training and experience. "No... never," she responded. She also denied covering up the mouth of a child who was crying. When asked whether she had fed a child while his arms were being held by another defendant, Shelbie Forgan, she replied: "No... not at all." The prosecution say young children were force-fed and restrained as well as picked up by their wrists before being dropped to the floor. But the jury heard Ms Pinchess told police it was "not in my nature" to hurt children. Bright Sparks' former owner Katie Davies, 32, is also on trial as is 22-year-old staff member Ms Forgan, both of whom are from Port Talbot. All three deny causing cruelty to a person under the age of 16. The trial continues. The mainly Shia Muslim government is locked in a fight with Islamic State (IS), an extreme Sunni group leading an insurrection in the north. Late on Friday, reports emerged of IS militants killing at least 80 men and taking women and children captive. In New York, the UN Security Council has imposed sanctions on IS members. Six people associated with IS or the Syria-based Nusra Front will now be subject to an international travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo, while backers of the two groups may also face sanctions. In Iraq, reports and Kurdish officials said rebels targeted a village called Kocho, 45km (28 miles) south-east of Sinjar, killing men of the Yazidi faith and abducting scores of women and children. "They arrived in vehicles and they started their killing this afternoon," one Kurdish official Reuters news agency. "We believe it's because of their creed: convert or be killed." Yazidi and Christian people in northern Iraq have faced persecution by the jihadists, prompting US-led air strikes and aid drops and calls for other Western states to arm opponents of IS. At an emergency EU meeting in Brussels, the 28 member-states were left to decide individually whether they would arm Iraq's Kurds, the main opponent of IS in the north. Separately, fighting has flared up in mainly Sunni Anbar province, west of Baghdad, parts of which have been under IS control. IS-led violence has driven an estimated 1.2 million Iraqis from their homes. Whole communities of Yazidis and Christians have been forced to flee in the north, along with Shia Iraqis, whom IS do not regard as true Muslims. A group of leaders from restive Sunni provinces issued a joint statement addressed to new Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who took over from Nouri Maliki on Thursday. They said they could join the new government if the security and civil administrations in their areas were given equal status to that of the central government. But they demanded that the Iraqi authorities stop the bombardment of Sunni provinces and cities, and said that local people should be allowed to run Sunni provinces. Calling for a reform of the Iraqi army, they asked for the release of political detainees, an end to executions and the withdrawal of militias from Sunni cities. In order to drive a wedge between Iraqi nationalist Sunnis and Islamic State, the Iraqi Sunnis must first be won over - not only by giving them seats in government, but by empowering them in their own areas. Many have said they would then turn on the Islamist radicals and there are signs that it may have started to happen in some areas. In 2007 the Sunnis drove al-Qaeda out of western Iraq altogether. This will be a much tougher affair. If it is to stand a chance, the Sunnis will need all the help they can get from Iraqi government troops, Kurdish Peshmerga forces and American airpower. Nor can it really start in earnest until a solid new power-sharing deal is struck in Baghdad. The removal of Mr Maliki, who was hated by the Sunnis, has provided a chink of hope in Iraq's crisis, BBC World Service Middle East editor Sebastian Usher reports. There is no doubt that Sunni tribes are essential to any solution, but it will take a great deal to restore any of their trust in central government, he says, noting that other Sunni leaders have already dismissed the political transition as all but meaningless. Fighting flared up on Friday with IS militants in Anbar. AFP news agency quoted a Sunni tribal leader, Sheikh Abduljabbar Abu Risha, as saying an "uprising" was under way against IS, while Anbar police chief Maj-Gen Ahmed Saddak said security forces were backing the fight to drive out IS. Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most influential Shia cleric, threw his weight behind the new Iraqi prime minister on Friday. In Brussels, EU foreign ministers issued a statement condemning "in the strongest terms the attacks perpetrated by [IS] and other associated armed groups". The UK said it would "consider favourably" any request to send arms to the Kurds, while the Czech government said it would be in a position to start deliveries of munitions by the end of the month. Germany is legally prevented from arming countries involved in conflict, but Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he would go to the limit of "what is legally and politically possible" to help the Kurds and he will travel to Iraq shortly. The EU ministers agreed to provide a humanitarian air bridge to help those refugees driven from their homes, but there was little detail as to the funding or the timetable, BBC Europe editor Gavin Hewitt reports. Stephen O'Flynn headed in the opener in the 22nd minute after his initial penalty was saved by Marty Gallagher. Michael McCrudden equalised from the penalty spot four minutes later. John Currie's shot was deflected in off Mark Scoltock on 71 to give his side a lead ahead of Tuesday's second leg. The Mallards ended up in the Premiership play-off position after losing 2-1 to Carrick Rangers on a dramatic final day of the regular season. Whitey Anderson's side are aiming to ensure that they will play top-flight football for a fifth consecutive campaign, while Institute are hoping to return there after a one-year absence. Institute took their place in the play-off despite finishing fifth in Championship One because H&W Welders, Armagh City and Knockbreda did not have Premiership licences. O'Flynn dealt an early blow to his former club when he found the net at the third attempt after Gallagher saved his spot-kick. McCrudden brought the sides level soon after, but Currie's effort gives his side the advantage going into the return leg at Ferney Park. Mr Flores, 56 had been in a coma since undergoing emergency surgery. He had been under house arrest on charges of embezzlement and illegal enrichment. Mr Flores handed himself in to the authorities in September 2014. He was accused of diverting a large part of a donation of $15m given by Taiwan to help the victims of earthquakes in El Salvador in 2001. Prosecutors say he misappropriated $5m and transferred it to his private bank account. Another $10m is alleged to have gone into his party's coffers. Mr Flores, from the conservative Arena party, said that El Salvador enjoyed "a privileged relationship" with Taiwan because it backed the Asian country's request for membership of the United Nations. Francisco Flores took office in 1999 and was in power until 2004. Correspondents say many people in El Salvador had been encouraged that their country had begun to effectively fight high-level corruption when they saw attempts to bring Mr Flores to justice. The case at the tribunal in The Hague was brought by the Philippines, which argues Chinese activity in the region is against international law. China claims about 90% of the South China Sea, including reefs and islands also claimed by others. China says it does not recognise the tribunal and has refused to take part. The case is being decided by an arbitration tribunal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which both countries have signed. However, observers say the decision could favour the Philippines - and China risks reputational damage if it does not abide by it. They also warn there is a risk that China could react aggressively to a ruling against it. The ruling is binding but the tribunal, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, has no powers of enforcement. The US has sent an aircraft carrier and fighter jets to the region, prompting an angry editorial in the Global Times, a strongly nationalist state-run newspaper, calling for China to prepare for "military confrontation". Meanwhile, the Chinese Navy has been carrying out exercises near the disputed Paracel islands. The tribunal has previously said it is the appropriate body to rule on at least seven of the 15 claims in the Philippines' case and was still considering the other eight. China has been trying to gather international support. Its diplomats have written a slew of articles setting out their government's position in English-language media around the world. China says about 60 countries support its stance that the tribunal's ruling should be rejected, but few have declared their support publicly. What is the case about? The Philippines brought a case in 2013 to the UNCLOS tribunal, contesting China's claims and activity in the South China Sea, saying that they were contrary to international law. It has accused China of interfering with fishing, dredging sand to build artificial islands, and endangering ships, among other claims. It also asked the tribunal to reject China's claims to sovereignty over waters within a "nine-dash line", the dotted boundary that claims as much as 90% of the South China Sea, that appears on official Chinese maps. What is the impact of its ruling? According to Bill Hayton, author of South China Sea: The struggle for power in Asia, a large part of the case is about asking the court to decide what specific land features in the area are, and therefore how much claim to territory each country has. Therefore, if the tribunal rules that nothing that China occupies in the Spratly Islands is a proper island, it will be unable to claim land rights of 200 nautical miles. Although the ruling is binding, the tribunal has no powers of enforcement. However, the ruling could set a precedent for similar cases in future. Will it make a difference? China has boycotted the tribunal, saying that the panel has no jurisdiction. It has already said it will not "accept, recognise or execute" the decision. However, if the ruling favours the Philippines, China could risk reputational damage and be portrayed as a country that ignores international law, perhaps leading to greater tensions between China and the Philippines, or the US, which has sent significant military assets to the area. The Philippines' new President Rodrigo Duterte has said his country is willing to share natural resources with Beijing in contested areas even if the tribunal rules in its favour. Mr Duterte has adopted a more conciliatory approach to China than previous president Benigno Aquino, and it remains to be seen how the ruling will affect the two countries' relations. Read more: Why is the South China Sea contentious? From the BBC's director general to senior executives from technology companies, from Dara O'Briain to teenage techies, everyone at the unveiling of the Micro Bit seemed convinced that this was an idea whose time had come. But in the outside world, the reaction to the computing device which will be given away to a million school children in October was a little more mixed. As I live-streamed the event from my mobile phone, some excited messages popped up ,but others had questions and doubts. More arrived on social media, as teachers learned about the Micro Bit. Why was the BBC funding this expensive project? Why not simply back the existing Raspberry Pi computer? Were teachers going to be helped to get to grips with the challenge of using this device in lessons? And could anybody get hold of one? So I've set about trying to answer at least some of those questions. The BBC won't give exact figures on the costs - it says they're commercially sensitive - but says the vast majority is being covered by the partners in the project. So, for instance ARM has done much of the work on the design of the device, while it's Microsoft which has developed the software. The BBC's director general, Lord Hall, said at the launch that this project was rooted in the corporation's mission to educate as well as to entertain. It's seen as being an echo of the very successful BBC Micro which gave many people an introduction to computers in the 1980s, and the hope is that it will inspire the next generation of tech pioneers. The Raspberry Pi has been an amazing success since it was launched in 2012, with the aim of getting young people coding - though it sometimes seems more popular with nostalgic 40-somethings than with teenagers. But the BBC says the much simpler Micro Bit is aimed at helping younger children to start learning how computers work, and will then be a springboard for more advanced devices like the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The founders of the Raspberry Pi project did have ambitions to make it the next BBC Micro - but they are now supportive of the Micro Bit and see opportunities for collaboration. There is already a quick start guide for teachers, partly written by a brilliant coding teenager Ross Lowe, who I met at the launch. The BBC says it will be working closely with teachers over the summer and the autumn, and the Micro Bit website will go live a few weeks from now with lots of tips and coding projects. There will also be workshops and training events - more on this here. But it strikes me that getting teachers on board is the key to the success of the whole project. Many are still struggling to get to grips with the arrival of coding in the curriculum - now there is a danger they may see the Micro Bit as a problem rather than a solution. ScienceScope, one of the companies involved in the development of the device, will be in charge of getting it into schools. The IT-in-education firm already has experience delivering coding kits. Once the Micro Bit is in the hands of a child, however, it is theirs to keep. It will be interesting to see how quickly they are lost or broken, though I suspect in the early days they will be highly prized. Which brings us to a final question - is this just for kids? At first, yes, the priority will be to put them in the hands of a million Year 7 children. But by the end of 2015 they will go on sale to the general public through a not-for-profit company. Its aim will be to continue to make sure the Micro Bit develops into something which can deliver a lasting educational legacy for the UK. People in Westport are up in arms over late-night landline calls intended for the UK-based station. The mix-up is a result of Irish viewers calling the show's premium-rate numbers, which start with 098, without adding the international dialling code. Regional Development Minister Michael Ring said his constituents were "aggravated and annoyed". Mr Ring told the Sunday Independent: "They are getting these calls in the middle of night. "One of those people has an elderly mother and family members all over the world and there could be a call at any time that they would have to take." He said people in the town should not have to change their phone number because of the blunder. The Fine Gael politician has referred the matter to a number of authorities, including the police, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) and ComReg, the Republic of Ireland's communications sector regulator. The minister told the paper the police "did everything they could" but they had limited powers. BAI chief executive Michael O'Keeffe said it had contacted Babestation on behalf of one complainant and spoken to a representative about the issue. "It is unfortunate that this issue is still continuing," he added. "However, the BAI is not in a position to address the problem as it is not within our remit and he was advised at all times we were assisting him as a matter of courtesy." A spokeswoman for ComReg said it had been in contact with its UK counterpart and it was trying to "identify a solution as soon as possible". "ComReg advises anyone calling the UK from the Republic of Ireland should always use the prefix 00 44," she said. Mr Ring has also contacted the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA), the UK regulator for goods and services charged to a phone bill, such as directory enquiries and votes to TV talent shows. A PSA spokesman said it was looking into the problem. Jack Adcock, who had a heart condition, died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011 hours after being admitted with sickness and vomiting. In November 2015, Hadiza Bawa-Garba was convicted of Jack's manslaughter. A tribunal has found it in the public interest for her to be suspended immediately from the medical register. Following the two-day hearing before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), in Manchester, she has been suspended for 12 months. A review hearing will then be held before that period expires. The tribunal heard evidence from the General Medical Council (GMC) and the doctor's lawyers. A report from the MPTS following the hearing, said: "Having considered the submissions and in the light of all the circumstances of your case, the seriousness of the tribunal's findings and the fact that you have not practised since November 2015, the tribunal is satisfied that it is necessary to protect patients and members of the public and is otherwise in the public interest for your registration to be suspended immediately." Jack, of Glen Parva, died from a cardiac arrest caused by sepsis after he was admitted to the Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011. Bawa-Garba, was given a two year suspended prison sentence after her conviction. She appealed against the conviction, but her bid failed in December. Dr Mackinnon was involved with the organisation and wider peace moment in Scotland for 30 years. A member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, he co-ordinated protests against the Gulf War, and challenged the American response to 9/11. The GP had undergone treatment for cancer and had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The Scottish CND said Dr McKinnon had "constantly strived" to build opposition to Trident and had made a "detailed case" that more jobs could be sustained in Scotland by diverting money spent on nuclear weapons into other projects. In a post on the Scottish CND website, a spokesman said: "He showed a determination to make a positive contribution to the world, despite his own health problems. This was shown when, after retiring as a GP and undergoing treatment for cancer, he went to Sierra Leone to work for Medecins San Frontieres. "In recent months, disabled and confronting a terminal illness, he persisted in helping with Scottish CND street stalls throughout the general election. "Alan's dedication to peace and nuclear disarmament has been an inspiration to us all and his loss will be greatly missed." Dr Mackinnon is survived by his wife Karin and his children, Maeve and Ian. The move is the result of an inquiry into the deaths of two people in a car accident on the M9 in July. Police Scotland only investigated the crash three days after it was reported to them in a phone call. A report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland said there were staff shortages and problems with the way emergency calls were handled. Diverting calls away from regional police call centres to main centres in other parts of the country creates "additional risk", the police watchdog said. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was deeply sorry for the anguish of the families of those who died in the M9 crash, and said the closure of police control rooms would be put on hold in line with the HMICS recommendation. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson later told the Scottish Parliament that £1.4m of new money would be committed to taking on 70 to 75 new call handlers, and to keeping the Aberdeen and Inverness control rooms open for longer than originally planned. Those centres were due to close by March 2016, but they will now stay operational for longer for an "extensive handover" when the new main centre opens in Dundee. Mr Matheson said: "The M9 incident had terrible consequences, and I don't want any families to have to go through that experience again." A report into stop-and-search practices has also been published. It comes a week after Sir Stephen House announced he is to stand down early from his post as chief constable of Police Scotland, and two days after Ms Sturgeon announced a national review of the force's governance. HMICS began its review of all police call handling in Scotland after the death of Lamara Bell, who was discovered critically ill in a crashed car on the M9, next to her dead partner John Yuill. Sir Stephen admitted that the information received about the crash in the initial call had not been entered into police systems, in a situation Ms Bell's brother Martin described as an "absolute shambles". The Police Investigations Review Commissioner (Pirc) is investigating the incident itself, while the HMICS review examined the broader issue of call handling. Derek Penman, HM Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland, said more than 3,800 people were spoken to during the "extensive consultation" on control rooms. He said: "HMICS recognises the constraints placed upon Police Scotland as a result of staff shortages in Bilston Glen, Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee, but considers that the practice of diverting overflow calls to the main sites in Govan, Motherwell and Bilston Glen is creating additional risk. "This will not be resolved until there is a full complement of trained staff supported by effective systems, processes and procedures in the main sites and we strongly believe that, until that is the case, the facilities in Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee should remain in place." The full HMICS report on call handling will be published in October. In the interim, the watchdog has recommended that Police Scotland "consolidate and stabilise" staffing, procedures and processes in its centralised East and West call centres, while accelerating plans for the new North area control room in Dundee. Martin Bell, brother of Lamara Bell, who died in the crash, said the family felt "let down" by police and the government and that he believes his sister would have lived had the call been responded to on the day of the crash. He also said he wanted to see the local call centres remain open. He said: "It's been terrible, it's a disgrace how it's been handled. It's just a nightmare. The system is a mess and it needs to be fixed. "To be honest I think it needs to go back to a regional service - it's an absolute shambles. There needs to be a full change of Police Scotland. "Officers need to win back the faith of the public and unless there's change that isn't going to happen." Mr Matheson also announced the new chairman of the Scottish Police Authority will be Andrew Flanagan. Mr Flanagan, who takes up the role formerly held by Vic Emery from Monday, is a former chief executive of children's charity NSPCC and of STV Group. He said: "The Scottish Police Authority has a unique role at the heart of policing and I'm delighted to be taking on such a demanding and exciting role. "While I recognise the challenges we face, I believe there is much to build on in Scottish policing - not least the excellent work undertaken every day by the thousands of dedicated officers and staff." Cooper's American Hustle co-star Jennifer Lawrence made headlines this month when she wrote about her anger at getting paid less than her male counterparts. "Putting a microscope on it and having the impact that it's had is a great thing," Cooper said. "Obviously transparency is necessary in order to help that equilibrium occur." The star was speaking to the BBC after the European premiere of his new film Burnt in London's Leicester Square. Cooper plays a head chef trying to regain his reputation in the capital after a downfall caused by drug addiction. The film reunites him with his American Sniper co-star Sienna Miller, who plays a talented chef taken on by Cooper's character. Asked about the pay gap issue, Miller said: "It's a conversation that's happening on a global scale in every industry - and it's time that there is transparency and equality. It's insane that there isn't." Cooper and Miller were given culinary advice on the film, which was mostly shot in London, from British celebrity chef Marcus Wareing. Cooper - who worked in kitchens when he was growing up - said that Wareing taught him the importance of "being able to stay steady under pressure". Miller said: "I can fillet a turbot! The hardest thing was the intensity of the cooking - it's hot and I got burnt." Burnt, directed by John Wells, opens in the UK on 6 November. Clocking up 20 hours a week of TV time appears to be detrimental, the US authors from Harvard say in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Yet 15 hours or more of exercise a week boosts semen quality, according to the results in nearly 200 college students. The researchers said more studies were needed to explore the possible causes. And some experts say men wanting to conceive need to be selective about the sport they do as some types may harm sperm. Too much time riding a bike or doing long-distance running in tight clothing may not be good, other studies suggest. Similarly, wearing tight underwear rather than boxer shorts has been linked with lower sperm levels. In the latest study, the researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health asked 189 young men who were students at a university in New York to record how many hours they had been spending doing physical activity and watching TV in a typical week. The volunteers, all aged between 18 and 22, were also asked to provide a sperm sample for lab analysis. When the researchers compared the survey findings with the sperm test results they found the link between sedentary lifestyle and low sperm count. Men who were the most physically active, doing 15 hours or more of moderate to vigorous exercise each week by playing football, baseball or basketball for example, had sperm counts which were 73% higher than those who were least physically active. Those who spent lots of time watching TV or DVDs - at least 20 hours a week - had a sperm count that was 44% lower than men who spent little time in front of the box. None of the men had sperm counts so low that doctors would classify them as sub-fertile. Sperm motility (how well it swims) and shape were unaffected. The researchers say their findings are not conclusive but suggest that men who want to improve their fertility might want to look at increasing the amount of physical exercise they do if they currently do little. It is not clear why sitting on the sofa watching TV might lower sperm count. It might be down to temperature - sperm prefer cooler conditions and production halts if the scrotum gets too hot. Obesity may also affect fertility - although most of the men were not overweight. Dr Audrey Jane Gaskins and colleagues say more studies are needed to confirm and explore the possible causes behind their findings. Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: "It remains to be seen if coaxing a TV-watching couch potato into doing some regular exercise could actually improve his sperm count. Or whether there exists an unknown fundamental difference between men who like exercise and those who do not which might account for the findings. "This should be a relatively easy study to perform, but before all worried men hunt for their sports bag it's important to note that other research suggests that doing too much exercise can be harmful to sperm production. "My advice would be everything in moderation - and that includes time in the gym as well as watching TV." David Evans, 49, from Caldicot, Monmouthshire, was pronounced dead at the scene following the eastbound incident between junctions 24 (Coldra) and 25 (Caerleon) at about 18:00 GMT on Friday. The motorway was closed until Saturday for investigation work to take place. Gwent Police has asked witnesses to contact them on 101. Scotland Women are preparing to play in the Euro 2017 finals in the Netherlands but the players had refused to take part in media or promotional work. A players' statement issued via PFA Scotland called it a "historic moment" on the way to "achieving equality". The SFA said the agreement "contains commercial and operational elements". The players' union statement said it was the first collective agreement between the women's national team and the SFA and was a "major step" towards parity with the men's game. "As a team, and individuals, we are looking forward to working closely with the SFA to promote and develop women's football in Scotland and ensure we are all moving in the same direction," it said. "The players fully accept we have a responsibility to perform to our best for our country on the pitch, but also to be the best role models we can off it. "For many years we have worked hard to do so, especially at grassroots level where we are honoured to be asked to engage with young female players at every age and stage of the footballing pathway. "We want to create a legacy to hand on to the next generation of female players and ensure there is a full and proper commitment by the governing body to promoting the women's game at grassroots and national level." Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland's female players, just like their male counterparts, do not receive a match fee. However, the home-based players receive a bursary to cover loss of earnings when they are preparing for the Euro finals. The players also receive daily allowances while they are with the national team. The SFA indicated that the "international player agreement" affected the forthcoming Euro 2017 finals and the 2019 World Cup qualifiers. The SFA statement said: "We are delighted that under head coach Anna Signeul the Scotland Women's National Team (SWNT) have qualified for their first ever major tournament finals. "Since qualification was achieved, our priority has always been to ensure that the SWNT are fully prepared for next month's Uefa Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands. To this end, we have invested significantly into tournament preparation, including overseas trips and training camps. "We look forward to supporting the SWNT in the Netherlands this summer and to using the team's participation in the Uefa Women's Championships 2017 as a springboard to generating increased interest in girls' and women's football in Scotland from players, coaches, sponsors and, of course, fans." Shifa Gardi, who worked for Iraqi Kurdish channel Rudaw, was killed by a roadside bomb as she covered the advance of Iraqi forces into western areas held by so-called Islamic State. Rudaw said that Gardi, 30, had broken the stereotypes of male-dominated journalism. Iraqi forces continue to face stiff resistance from IS as they advance. The Iraqi troops entered western districts of Mosul for the first time on Friday as part of an offensive begun in October to drive the jihadists from their main stronghold. Rudaw said that Gardi's cameraman, Yunis Mustafa, was injured in the explosion. Gardi had been presenting a daily programme on the Mosul offensive for Rudaw TV and had recently started to cover the war from inside Mosul, the channel said on its website. After paying tribute to her, Rudaw recalled the recent incident where Gardi had found a wounded rabbit. "The rabbit is suffering from malnutrition which has caused visible damage to its face. I brought it back with me. We will be treating the rabbit and then give it to an animal protection agency which is willing to look after it," she said. Iraqi forces continue to face stiff resistance from IS fighters bunkered in western districts. Special forces Lt Gen Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi told Associated Press his soldiers were "moving very slowly" in the face of attacks with car bombs, snipers and armed drones. He said the plan was to cut supply lines and link up with eastern districts that Iraqi forces declared "fully liberated" last month. IS jihadists overran Mosul as they spread across much of northern and western Iraq in 2014. They lost large areas of territory, in Iraq and Syria, in 2016. 19 July 2017 Last updated at 07:01 BST Now conservationist Sir David Attenborough has launched a big butterfly count to try to help them.

Hughes, 24, has agreed a two-year deal after rejecting an offer from the Welsh side, for whom he played 151 games. Tafazolli, also 24, was also offered a new contract at his previous club, for whom he appeared 118 times, and signed a three-year deal at League One Posh. Meanwhile, former Derby coach Lee Glover has been named as Grant McCann's assistant manager. Ben Mackenzie has been appointed as head of sport science at the ABAX Stadium. Hughes and Tafazolli are Peterborough's second and third signings under McCann, with the latter joining despite reported interest from Sheffield United. Tafazolli told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "There was a lot of interest, but coming from a League Two side I knew the most important thing for me this season was to go to a club where the manager wants me, I've got a good chance of playing and the club will be pushing for promotion. "It ticked all the boxes for me and it was a no-brainer. Someone used the analogy of football being like a game of snakes and ladders.

A second wave of strikes was reported hours later. Libyan officials said Egypt hit targets in the militant-held city of Derna. The strikes came amid widespread condemnation of the killings. The US and UN described them as "cowardly". A video emerged on Sunday showing militants forcing a group of men to the ground and decapitating them. The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in separate incidents in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups. The video of the beheadings was posted online by Libyan jihadists who pledge loyalty to IS. It was one of the first such videos to come from an IS group outside its core territory in Syria and Iraq. The video describes the Copts as "crusaders" and refers among other things to two women, wives of Coptic priests, whose alleged conversion to Islam triggered a sectarian dispute in Egypt in 2010. IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which in effect has rival governments. Thirteen of the dead men came from the village of Al-Our, in Minya. Screams of grief come from several houses in the dusty back streets, and groups of black-clad women go from house to house to offer condolences. One woman, wailing in the street, tells us she has lost five relatives. In the packed courtyard of the church, mourners are gathering for a memorial service. Local men say they are desperate for work and Libya is their only hope of a job. Many say they still have relatives working there, and that villagers will continue to go there in search of work. Follow Orla Guerin on Twitter Egypt did not give the locations of the air strikes, but a spokesman for Libya's internationally recognised Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni told the BBC that Egyptian jets had taken part in co-ordinated air strikes on Derna. "Eight strikes have been conducted so far [in Derna]. The plan is to target all IS locations in the country wherever they are," said Mohamed Azazza. Libyan air force commander Saqer al-Joroushi said the Egyptian strikes had been co-ordinated with Mr Thinni's government, and that his planes had also carried out strikes. Between 40 and 50 people had been killed, he added. Several hours later, the AP news agency quoted unnamed security officials as saying that Egyptian warplanes had again struck Derna. Egypt declared seven days of national mourning after the release of the video. In a televised address, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi described IS as "inhuman criminal killers". "Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals," he said. He later visited St Mark's Cathedral in Cairo to offer his condolences to Coptic Pope Tawadros II. Egypt is already fighting Islamist insurgents based in the Sinai peninsula who have declared their allegiance to Islamic State. Leading international condemnation, the United States called the killings "despicable" and "cowardly". Pope Francis expressed his "profound sadness". In a statement, the UN Security Council "strongly condemned the heinous and cowardly apparent murder" of the Christians. Libya is home to a large community of both Muslim and Coptic Egyptians, with most working in the construction sector. In the first kidnapping in Sirte, in late December, a group of Coptic Christians was abducted at a fake checkpoint while trying to leave the city. Days later, militants raided a residential compound in Sirte and separated Christians from Muslims before handcuffing their captives and taking them away. The butchering of the Egyptian Copts appears to signal Libya's arrival as yet another platform for the militants of IS, broadening the franchise and the challenge to Western powers and their regional allies. Conditions seem to be ripe for them to flourish in Libya as they have in Iraq and Syria, filling and expanding niches left by failed and unjust governments, and a chaotic free-for-all of local militias. Past horrors perpetrated and propagated by IS have apparently served only to attract more extremists to its black flag, creating a sense of dynamic momentum. By bombing IS in Libya, President Sisi may have fallen into its trap and increased its appeal, given the repression he is meting out to Egyptian Islamists. How strong is Islamic State in Libya? Why is Libya lawless? Egypt's Coptic Church Libya has been in chaos since 2011 and the overthrow of its then-leader, Col Muammar Gaddafi. Since then, numerous militia groups have battled for control. It has two rival governments, one based in Tripoli and the other in Tobruk. Meanwhile, the eastern city of Benghazi - where the 2011 revolution began - is largely in the hands of militant fighters, some with links to al-Qaeda. The head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency warned last month that IS was assembling "a growing international footprint that includes ungoverned and under-governed areas", including Libya. The 32-year-old is in his testimonial season with the Tigers, but will be in the Pumas side for their final World Cup warm-up match at Welford Road. "To play Tigers will be weird," Ayerza told BBC Radio Leicester. "I have never been in the away changing room before. "To bring Argentina to Welford Road is huge. It will be a special day for me." Ayerza joined Leicester in 2006 and said he never expected to be approaching 10 years with the club. "I actually thought when I came I would only come for nine months," he said. "I thought I would prepare for the 2007 World Cup and that would be it. "Saturday will be special for me and the game is a big occasion for the club to receive a full international team preparing for the World Cup."

The ceremony at the city's Hampden Park was watched by a peak audience of 7.7m, according to overnight figures. Proceedings saw Glasgow officially end its tenure as host city and hand over to Australia's Gold Coast for 2018. Scottish stars Lulu and Deacon Blue also performed in a party atmosphere which gathered all athletes together. BBC One easily captured the lion's share of the TV audience on Sunday night, with 36% of viewers watching the ceremony from Glasgow at one point. The live broadcast which lasted more than two hours and included a seven-song set from Minogue. Her performance was briefly interrupted by Australian athlete Genevieve LaCaze, who danced on stage before being ushered away by security staff. However, the audience substantially slid towards the end of the programme at 2300 BST, with five million people staying until the close. The late evening news bulletin, which followed the conclusion of the games, pulled in 3.3 million viewers. Other performers during the evening included Australian singer Jessica Mauboy, leading a segment which sang the praises of the Gold Coast, which will host the next games in four years' time. Earlier this year, Mauboy performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen to honour Australia's association with the event. The gala also involved the participation of more than 2,000 volunteer performers. The Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on 23 July was a bigger TV draw, bringing in an average 7.6 million viewers and peaking at 9.3 million. Meanwhile, Saturday night's coverage of the games, featuring Usain Bolt in the 100 metres relay and Tom Daley claiming gold in the diving, had a detrimental effect on ITV's usually robust schedule. More than eight million viewers tuned into the action from Glasgow on BBC One, while Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith on ITV drew in a little over one million. There are hopes of creating 500 new jobs over the next five years. The Wales Co-operative Centre will operate the Social Business Wales project, backed by £6m in EU funding and £5m from the Welsh government. It says social businesses "often fill the gaps the private sector won't consider and the public sector can't support". Social enterprises include ventures set up with a community focus and have a strong presence in deprived areas. Nearly a third operate in the health and social care sector, and similarly in culture and leisure. The project aims to help 500 businesses, including co-operatives, worker-owned companies and social enterprises. It will also help charities take forward commercial ideas. The investment comes at a time when more than two thirds of Welsh social businesses expect to increase their turnover in the next two to three years. Finance Minister Jane Hutt said: "The social business sector plays an important role in supporting local economies, particularly in disadvantaged areas." Chief executive of the Wales Co-operative Centre Derek Walker added: "We believe that social businesses have great potential for further growth in Wales." CASE STUDY: 'WE KNEW WE WERE DOING SOME GOOD' The project announcement is being made at the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC) - a social business in Neath. It works with firms and organisations to make sure websites, apps and other digital media are accessible to people with visual and mobility impairments, dyslexia and learning disabilities. The business provides work for people with disabilities and has a client list which includes Fujitsu, Santander and Channel 4. How long has DAC has been going and how many people work there? Gavin Evans, director of operations: We have been operating for nearly four and a half years and have 21 employed staff and four volunteers at present. Explain what a social business is - how does it differ in how you are set up and operate? My understanding of a social business is that the organisation requires investment in order to have some form of social gain. We have commercial and social missions and goals, the social impact being the big focus. We reinvest 100% our profits back into the business, as we operate on a not-for-profit basis. We initially placed all the investment in ourselves, and had some small amounts of funding for computer equipment from Welsh funding organisations. We operate on a commercial basis, we sell our services. However, with investment and a good business plan, we can do a whole lot of more social good. Any advice for someone thinking of setting up a social enterprise? I think the key advice to offer is to have belief and confidence in what you are doing. When Cam (other co-founder and director) and myself set up the company, the first few months were extremely difficult. But we knew we had a good model and, after all, we knew we were doing some good. I think that is key really, to know that there is a socially-beneficial goal at the end of it, and believe in what you are doing will benefit the wider community. DAC does this by ensuring other organisations' digital products are accessible to everyone. However, we also provide sustainable employment for individuals with disabilities. So there are two key drivers for us really. The service was evacuated following the stoppage at about 17:30 BST, with those on board transferred to a rescue train. Eurotunnel spokesman John Keefe said between 400 and 500 people were affected after a "technical incident" forced the train to stop mid-tunnel. The rescue train had to first travel back to Calais before going to the UK. The failed train was towed back to Folkestone with the passengers' cars and belongings on board. Eurotunnel said at 23:25 that "all trains have now arrived" and apologised for the delays.. Passenger Aggie Anim told BBC South East that after the train stopped "it was very hot, and we were all concerned about the oxygen". She later tweeted: "The emergency train is moving!! People cheering... But wait we are heading back to France?! Booo Eurotunnel stuck." She said staff on board the broken down train had been "very friendly and communicative". In a statement on its website, Eurotunnel said services were currently operating with some timetable disruption. It said there was a waiting time of about two hours at its terminals in Calais and Folkestone. Victoria Gayle, 32, pleaded guilty at Kingston Crown Court to preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body. The offence, which relates to a son born in 2004, only came to light after the death of Gayle's young daughter last year. Investigations are under way into possible failings by the police and local authorities. There is no record of any official agency having seen Gayle's son after he left hospital with her in February 2004, the BBC understands. He is thought to have died when he was 10 to 15 months old. On 31 May this year homicide detectives found a boy's skeleton at the home of Gayle's parents in West Hendon, north London. The body had been placed in a box and wrapped up. Gayle had been arrested a day earlier on suspicion of murder. Following the discovery of the body, detectives re-arrested Gayle on suspicion of preventing a lawful and decent burial. An investigation had started following a case review after the death of Gayle's two-year-old daughter in 2015. She had died after swallowing a battery at the home of Gayle's parents. The BBC understands that, over several years, Gayle told official agencies that her son had moved away, but that the agencies failed to establish whether or not this was true. During court proceedings in 2014 Gayle had provided a statement that said her son had gone away with his traveller father. But her son had already died and his father was not a traveller. Tests, which are attempting to show how the baby died, are ongoing. Three other people arrested in connection with the investigation remain on police bail. Gayle has pleaded not guilty to two counts - perjury and perverting the course of justice - which have been left to lie on file. In a statement, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was directing an investigation by the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards. "The IPCC investigation is to establish what interaction, if any, officers from the MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] had with the family of the child and whether there were any missed opportunities, either before or after the death." A serious case review, which started in October, is looking at the circumstances relating to both deaths. A Barnet Council spokesperson said: "The death of any child is tragic and we are working with Barnet Safeguarding Children's Board to provide information for their Serious Case Review and to establish any learning from our involvement with the family." Gayle was bailed ahead of sentencing at Kingston Crown Court on 3 February 2017. All of those who died were travelling in the minibus, which was from the Nottingham area. A five-year-old girl, a woman and a man are being treated in hospital with life-threatening injuries, while another woman has serious injuries. The two lorry drivers have been arrested, one of them on suspicion of driving while over the alcohol limit. Both men are being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and are in police custody. The crash happened on the southbound M1 at Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire just before 03:15 BST. South Central Ambulance Service said those injured in the collision were taken to hospitals in Milton Keynes, Coventry and Birmingham. Police said some of those involved in the collision were visiting the UK from India. The vehicles were all travelling in the same direction between junctions 15 and 14, police said. Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Fire and Rescue Service said it had sent six crews as well as three search and rescue vehicles to the scene. Firefighters used hydraulic equipment to release three people from a vehicle. Thames Valley Police said the two lorry drivers, one aged 31 and from Worcestershire, the other aged 53 from Stoke-on-Trent, were being questioned. The 31-year-old man was detained on suspicion of one count of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of driving a motor vehicle when above the legal alcohol limit. Pictures appear to show extensive damage to the lorries involved - a FedEx vehicle and one belonging to AIM Logistics. Ismail Elmagdoub, director of AIM Logistics, based in Evesham, Worcestershire, said: "One of our vehicles was involved in a serious incident on the M1 southbound, junction 14 this morning at approximately 3am. "We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the families who have lost loved ones and also those whom have been injured at this very sad time. "Road safety and compliance is of the utmost importance to AIM Logistics and we are continuing to assist the police as much as possible with their inquiries." The road was closed for several hours while investigation work took place. There are two ways of seeing its plans: either as sticking two fingers up to Brussels, in a way that maybe is not appropriate for such a big and important institution; or as demonstrating the madness of the EU's attempt to curb local behaviour, in this case the pay of bankers, in businesses which have to compete in a global market. The background is that a new EU law, known as CRD IV, prohibits variable pay - usually referred to as bonuses - greater than 100% of base salary, or 200% with the approval of shareholders. Which means that as of next year, the pay policies of HSBC - and most other European headquartered banks - would be illegal, without reform. For example, HSBC's chief executive, Stuart Gulliver, earned £5.5m in an annual incentive and what HSBC calls its Group Performance Share Scheme (GPSS) in 2013. That is 4.4 times Mr Gulliver's base salary of £1.25m, so considerably more in variable pay than he would be allowed under the EU constraint (and, for what it's worth, Mr Gulliver earned £8m in total, including benefits and pension contribution of £1.2m). In fact, Mr Gulliver could have earned even more in variable pay, £6.75m or 5.4 times his base pay, if he had hit all targets. However, as of the current financial year, Mr Gulliver will only be able to earn a maximum of £2.5m from his annual incentive and GPSS (you are probably thinking, "poor lambykin"). So HSBC will top him up with what it calls a "fixed pay allowance" of £1.7m, paid in quarterly lumps. In other words, his maximum remuneration is falling from £6.75m last year - excluding benefits and pension contribution - to a maximum of just under £5.5m. And given that he is unlikely to get the maximum in variable pay, perhaps he will earn £5m. Which looks like a chunky pay cut. But his fixed pay, what is guaranteed to him, is rising from £1.25m to £3m. And most people would say guaranteed pay is more valuable and desirable for the receiver than performance-related variable pay, although it is usually thought of as less desirable by the proprietor of a business. Any bank, for example, will lend rather more to someone whose income is fixed than to one whose income varies. So Mr Gulliver - and the hundreds of other HSBC bankers who will see a portion of their bonuses and variable pay converted into this new fixed pay allowance - will not be on their uppers. What are the broader consequences of this remuneration reconstruction? Well, HSBC will have a clunkier pay system, but hopes it won't see its more able people deserting to American, Swiss or Asian banks that don't operate within the same remuneration constraints. Is there a social and political consequence? Does it matter that HSBC - and the other big banks - will be seen as responding to a new law by coming up with a ruse that many will see as dodging it? The banks will say they have the UK regulator and UK government on their side, since both have said they disapprove of the new EU bonus limit. However, the law is the law, as they say. There are many laws that millions of people find irksome, but follow in letter and spirit. So if HSBC and other banks are seen to be gaily skipping around an EU law they dislike, it may not do a good deal either for their popularity or for the majesty and authority of Brussels. The £22.3m Diamond Bridge linking Danestone and Tillydrone is aimed at easing congestion. It was supposed to be completed late last year but issues with re-routing underground utilities caused a series of delays. A worker also died in an accident on the site. The Diamond Bridge name was chosen by local schoolchildren. The 20-year-old featherweight, from Strabane in Northern Ireland, beat Chinzo Machida via a rear naked choke in just over two minutes. "The reaction has been massive, the world champion tweeted me and offered to fight me in Croke Park," he said. "That just shows you the statements I'm making." Gallagher fights under the Bellator brand, which is a similar franchise to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The impressive victory has thrown 'The Strabanimal' firmly into the spotlight, and he says he will now grab the opportunity. He added: "I've done everything quickly in MMA. I won my first fight in St Pats Hall in Strabane at the age of 13, I beat a 21-year-old in a fight in Warrenpoint when I was also 13. "I moved to Dublin at an early age, I won my first professional MMA fight at 18, I just won in the most famous arena in the world at 20, and I will have that world title by the time I'm 22." Given his success, his cocky persona and the fact he fights out of the same gym as Conor McGregor, the young County Tyrone man has been compared to the Dubliner. "Conor is a four-time world champion, he won two titles in cage warriors, and he won two titles in UFC, and later in the summer he will fight Floyd Mayweather," he added. "Conor is the greatest MMA fighter of all time, so I will take being compared to him any day." Gallagher's next fight is expected to be in November, and he says he thinks he is only a couple of fights away from that title shot. "I'm going to move down from 145llbs to 135llbs, and then I will have a fight at the start of next year, and then I expect to have that title shot." The 25-year-old Poland international will complete the move on Sunday, when the Polish transfer window re-opens. Borysiuk previously played for Lechia Gdansk, who are second in the Polish top flight, between 2014 and 2016. He has made 12 appearances for QPR since joining the R's from Legia Warsaw on a three-year contract last summer. Rangers boss Ian Holloway is keen to add to his squad before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, having sold midfielders Sandro and Tjaronn Chery and striker Sebastian Polter to overseas sides this month. Winger Kazenga LuaLua is the sole arrival at Loftus Road this month, on loan from Brighton. Meanwhile, defender Darnell Furlong has extended his deal with the Championship side until the summer of 2019. The 21-year-old right-back, who had a spell on loan at Swindon earlier this season, has played seven senior games for the west London club.

The scammers hijacked accounts with verified badges and changed some of personal details to pull off the thefts. Airbnb said it had already been working on the changes – which include sending text warnings if profiles are altered – when the crimes were brought to its attention. "Unfortunately there have been some incidents where hosts and guests have suffered," said Nate Blecharczyk, co-founder of Airbnb. "This is not acceptable to us, therefore we’re working around the clock to do everything we can to improve our detection and prevention methods." While the participants of the World Economic Forum are busy discussing where the next big technological breakthrough is coming from or how to better spread wealth around the world, they need to be fed. All 2,500-plus - and most of them, being world leaders and chief executives, are accustomed to a certain standard. So, how do you go about it? It takes months of planning, says Noud Van den Boer, who runs the family-owned Dutch catering company Van den Boer Group. The company has been coming to snowy Davos, in the Swiss Alps, for 13 years to cater to clients. As we meet them, his team are preparing for a World Food Programme (WFP) dinner of 128 dignitaries including the current UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, his predecessor Kofi Annan, as well as Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. It's 2016, so of course some are vegetarian, some gluten-free and some are vegan. But the kitchen is used to this - and they also have a few spare in case of any unexpected dietary requirements. The menu is a Davos twist on a recipe provided by Refika, a Syrian refugee now living in a camp in Turkey. She is part of the WFP's family chef initiative, in which refugees who benefit from its cash and vouchers programme share their local recipes online. The first course is a "cremeux" of green peas (creamed peas to you and me, but this is Davos) with panna cotta and a parmesan cheese crisp. This is a nod to 2016 itself - named by the UN as the International Year of Pulses - and which has been launched to raise awareness of the protein power and health benefits of beans and peas. The main course - which looks delicious - is guinea fowl supreme, with white rice, eggplant and peanuts. It's a posher version of chicken and rice, if you like. They've used guinea fowl because it's easier to source locally - which they do for all the food they use. It is also much less spicy than the original recipe, in order to cater for a broader range of palates. For the vegetarians it's braised asparagus with herb cream and red pepper sauce with potato rosti with tomato, zucchini and onion. Dessert will be small chocolates and sweets to go with the coffee. There is, of course, an inescapable irony in hosting a gourmet dinner to discuss world hunger. But, a WFP representative tells me, events such as these are vital if the organisation is to achieve its goal of eradicating hunger in 15 years. They will use the time to explain and persuade companies how to help them reach this lofty goal. And it's not just financial donations they want, it's all sorts of help. For example, they have an arrangement with the telecoms company Ericsson, which provides them with assistance wherever necessary, including 150 voluntary employees who can help out whenever an emergency strikes, and also helps to provide Internet access and phone lines. And it's worth pointing out that none of this is paid for by the WFP - its whole presence is paid for by the companies who sponsor them. "The food is subordinate to the total theme but it still has to be there," says Mr Van den Boer. Starting this summer, GCSE grades A* to G will be phased out in favour of grades numbered from nine to one. However, around 70% of more than 400 parents and pupils surveyed by Ofqual did not understand the system. "It is really important we explain the basics, like the fact that nine is the highest grade," said Chief Regulator Sally Collier. Ofqual wants to raise awareness of the numerical grading system which starts this summer, with candidates who sit new more challenging English and maths GCSEs receiving a mixture of number and letter grades. By the summer of 2018 a mix of numbers and letters will be awarded in an additional 20 subjects, with the letter system entirely phased out by 2019. But according to the regulator's small survey, awareness is currently low - only 31% of secondary pupils and 30% of parents said they were clear how the new system worked. Additional research with 50 human resources leaders revealed that less than half of them understood it, while among small businesses, this figure dropped to about a fifth, says Ofqual. "We don't want there to be any surprises in summer 2017. It's really important that we spread the word that GCSE grades are changing from letters to numbers," said Ms Collier. "Broadly the same proportion of students will get a grade four above as would have got a grade C or above in the old system," she explained. Ofqual's publicity drive includes a series of online workshops for teaching staff in schools and universities. The regulator is promising to widen the information drive to include employers in coming months. The Department for Education says it has been working closely with Ofqual and with exam boards to communicate the changes. A spokesman said the new numerical grades would be a clear signal to employers, colleges and universities that students have taken the reformed, more challenging GCSEs. "Our GCSE reforms will create gold-standard qualifications that match the best education systems in the world and allow young people to compete in an increasingly global workplace. "We continue to work closely with the sector to ensure they understand what the changes will mean for them when they come into effect later this year," said the spokesman. Michael Turner, director general of the Joint Council for Qualifications which represents exam boards, said communicating the changes to students, parents educators and employers was "a huge task". Mr Turner said efforts to spread the word would be "stepped up" in the run-up to the 2017 summer exams. These reforms apply primarily to schools in England, although some pupils in Wales and Northern Ireland take GCSEs offered by English based exam boards. GCSEs offered by Welsh and Northern Irish exam boards are being reformed separately. In Scotland National 4 and 5 qualifications replaced Standard Grades in 2014. The survey was carried out for Ofqual by DJS Research in November last year. The programme was called In Friendship and Forgiveness, a title drawn from a speech the Queen made on that trip calling for people on both sides of the conflict to "live and work together in friendship and forgiveness". It was due to be shown in peak time on the last day of her visit, but 10 minutes before transmission, ITV's broadcasting authority stopped the film. It subsequently trickled out over the network in a late night slot. The ostensible reason was legal concerns over inflammatory words spoken by a Sinn Fein speaker at a Belfast rally who urged Irishmen to fight using whatever weapons they could get their hands on. In the end I had to quote his words as we were not allowed to hear his voice. In 1977 security was so precarious that the Queen had to overnight at sea and take her first ever helicopter flight to get into Belfast for a series of tightly screened engagements. This time she will spend Tuesday night at Hillsborough Castle and on Wednesday will attend a free picnic for over 10,000 people from both traditions in the grounds of the Parliament buildings at Stormont. When I visited Belfast last week, disappointed women on the loyalist Shankill Road told me that all of the tickets had gone in six minutes and some were now on sale on eBay for hundreds of pounds. This was not the Belfast I visited, remembered and reported on in 1977. Back then the people of the Shankill Road were similarly staunch in their royalist support. One local, Helen Gregg, spoke with fervour about what the Queen meant to her and her community: "I've watched every news bulletin, I've read all the papers, and we're proud to be British and we're proud she's our Queen." But, I also filmed an IRA checkpoint in West Belfast, lasting only a few minutes and largely a propaganda exercise, whilst the Queen was decorating faithful servants a few miles down the road at Hillsborough Castle. I followed a black flag march down the republican Falls Road behind a banner that read "ER Queen of Death. 1969-77. 1,800 Dead". The banner failed to point out that the Provisional IRA had been responsible for almost half of them. I watched the vicious riot that erupted at the end of the march when protesters were banned from entering Belfast city centre. I filmed the funeral of 16-year-old Paul McWilliams, a member of the Fianna, the junior wing of the IRA, who had been shot dead by the army the day before the Queen arrived, and I used footage of the burial in a Yorkshire mining village of 20-year-old Private Lewis Harrison, shot dead by an IRA sniper in retaliation on the same day. After Paul McWilliams' funeral I interviewed two republican women in Milltown cemetery about the Queen's visit. Mary McDermott, was scornful: "It's an intrusion into the affairs of the Irish people. We're not British subjects. She's not our Queen. We don't want her here at all." Eileen Shaw, was equally dismissive: "I wouldn't give her any medals for coming over to Northern Ireland," she said. "I think I'm braver than her. I have to live here." I have always believed - and still believe - that the broadcast of my report was stopped because its message was in direct conflict with the "spin" of the Labour government of the day, which wanted to present the Queen as the great healer of the division between loyalist and republican communities, whereas in fact historically she was the symbol of the division itself. I remember one eminent ITV presenter doing a piece to camera high on a Belfast roof indicating that you could almost hear the peace in the air. Nothing could have been further from the truth. It is easy to forget and salutary to remember what things were like 35 years ago in those dark and violent days from which we have all come. It is this that makes the utter transformation of Northern Ireland all the more remarkable. There are still dissident voices in sections of the republican community. Thirty-five years on from her scathing comments about the Queen's courage, I tracked down Eileen Shaw for Newsnight. She remains as militant as ever and was derisive about the prospect of Martin McGuinness shaking hands with the Queen: "Wake up and smell the coffee," she said. "You told those lads [the IRA] years and years ago - you don't recognise the court; you don't recognise the Queen. If he calls himself a republican, God help Ireland, that's all I can say". But Danny Morrison, who organised the Queen of Death march in 1977, told me he welcomed her visit 35 years later. He, like many other republicans, was impressed by the way the Queen carried out her visit to Dublin last year, laying a wreath at the Garden of Remembrance to those who died fighting for Irish independence from Britain. He believes that it had paved the way for today: "It did actually have a healing effect in complete contrast to the 1977 visit where it was viewed as triumphalist." Helen Gregg died a few years ago but loyalist women I interviewed at the Shankill Women's Centre last week remained equally unshaken in their views and all of them welcomed Mr McGuinness' potentially historic handshake. One, Betty Carlisle, also recognised that because Mr McGuinness had been a senior member of the IRA, the organisation responsible for the murder of Prince Philip's uncle, Lord Mountbatten, such a handshake would be a massive step for the Queen to take: "I feel optimistic," she said. "And I'm particularly happy for my children and my grandchildren." In 1977 I never dreamed that one day I would see Martin McGuinness sharing power with Ian Paisley and about to shake hands with the Queen in a gesture of reconciliation that could not be more powerful in its significance for both communities. In her address to the people of Northern Ireland in 1977, the Queen said, "I look forward to the day when we may return and enjoy with the people of Northern Ireland some of the better and happier times so long awaited and so richly deserved." When Mr McGuinness shakes the Queen's hand, it will suggest that day may have finally come. Watch Peter Taylor's full report on the Queen's jubilee visits of 1977 and this year on Newsnight at 10.30pm on BBC Two on Tuesday 26 June 2011 then afterwards on the BBC iPlayer and Newsnight website. The tax increase was supposed to take place next year, but now Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to delay it to late 2019. Mr Abe says he wants to speed up his "Abenomics" policy, which aims to reverse more than a decade of deflation and stimulate economic growth. The sales tax was first introduced in 1989 at a rate of 3%. "I want to fulfil my responsibility by accelerating Abenomics more and more," Mr Abe told MPs in his ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Wednesday. The rise in the sales tax from 8% to 10% was initially meant to take place in October 2015, but it was then moved to April 2017 and has now been pushed back even further. Japan relies heavily on domestic consumption, but its population is ageing and shrinking so fewer people are contributing to the economy. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) introduced a negative interest rate policy of -0.1% in January, a move which surprised many economists. The introduction of negative rates - a first for Japan - aimed to increase spending and investment, which should in turn boost economic growth. Sales tax 3% 1989 5% 1997 8% 2014 10% Delayed to 2019 Putting off the consumption tax is unlikely to win Mr Abe any friends amongst Japan's economic conservatives. But it's hard to see what else he could have done. The economic recovery in Japan is still weak, and allowing the consumption tax to go ahead as planned - even if a year away - was likely to have scared consumers in Japan to start saving even more, which is the last thing Japan needs. What Mr Abe wants to avoid most of all is the pronouncement that his precious Abenomics policy has pretty much failed. He's bet his credibility on turning Japan's economy around. However, despite using billions of dollars worth of fiscal stimulus and unconventional monetary policy to do this, nothing seems to be working. Perhaps it may be time to start pressing the pedal on structural reforms - but given the reluctance amongst Japanese corporations to change, that will be much harder to do. Why does Japan need to delay a rise in the sales tax? There are fears another tax increase could derail economic growth, which has been patchy. In April 2014 the government raised the sales tax to 8% from 5% and that sent the country into a brief recession. Domestic consumption has yet to recover. Data this week showed household spending and retail sales have continued to fall. Why is it a controversial move? Economists have argued the tax rise is critical to help the economy rein in its huge public debt, which has ballooned to more than $11tn - more than 220% of GDP. That's the highest debt level among developed countries. Japan desperately needs to find ways to cover rising social welfare costs due to its rapidly ageing population. What happens now? The prime minister is widely expected to order an extra budget to boost stimulus measures. Also, the April 2017 sales tax increase is enshrined in law, and the Japanese government would be forced to call a snap election if policymakers wanted to postpone it further. Finance Minister Taro Aso had suggested that Japan should call for a national vote, on whether or not to impose another increase in the nation's sales tax. Hull was one of 52 players who had to finish round one of the ANA Inspiration at Rancho Mirage on Friday after high winds felled trees on the course. She completed a 68 but then bogeyed two of her last four second-round holes. America's Lexi Thompson leads at eight under par after a five-under 67 second round. Hull, 21, the world number 16 who was runner-up to Lydia Ko in this event last year, reached six under but dropped shots at the par-four 15th and the closing par-five 18th. Compatriot Mel Reid, who had a mixed opening round of 72 including three birdies and a double bogey, is level-par at the halfway stage after another 72. Scotland's Catriona Matthew missed the cut after a 72 containing an eagle and a double bogey kept her at three over, while England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff also missed out after she carded a seven-over-par 79 to finish eight over. The game was called off following a 07:15 GMT pitch inspection on Saturday after overnight rain meant the ball was unable to bounce in numerous areas. No new date has yet been set for the game to be played. It means Southport's new signing, winger Jonny Giles, will have to wait for his debut after joining on loan from Oxford United.

You can discuss the list and your choices in the comments section below. WG Grace Was 50 when he last led his country in 1899; making him the oldest Test captain in history. Percy Chapman Led England to Ashes success down under in 1928-29 against an Australia team which included the legendary Sir Donald Bradman. Douglas Jardine Masterminded 'Bodyline' success down under; beating Bradman-inspired Australia 4-1 in 1932-33. Len Hutton Averaged 55 as England won Ashes for first time in 19 years in 1953 - no other England batsman averaged more than 39. Peter May Negated mystery spinner Sonny Ramadhin by using his pads, thus leading his side to a 3-0 series win against West Indies in 1957. Brian Close Statistically England's most successful captain - a tough, uncompromising cricketer who won his first Test as skipper against a rampant West Indies side. Ray Illingworth Presided over two Ashes series victories, with his bowling changes being credited with pressurising Australia into mistakes. Mike Brearley Brearley, according to Australia's Rodney Hogg, "had a degree in people" - and he proved it by transforming Sir Ian Botham and England's fortunes in 1981 Ashes series success. Michael Atherton Led from the front, scoring almost 500 runs against Walsh and Ambrose as England drew 2-2 with West Indies in 1995. Nasser Hussain Took England from ninth to third in Test rankings, overseeing famous wins in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Michael Vaughan Led England to Ashes success in 2005, ending an 18-year wait for a series win against perhaps Australia's greatest ever side. Andrew Strauss Won 3-1 in Australia in 2010-11, England's first success down under since 1987. Led England to number one in Test rankings later in same year. Alastair Cook Surprise series victories in India and South Africa, plus two Ashes series wins. The alleged incident happened when the England forward, 27, was driving home from training at about midday on Wednesday. Carroll is believed to have driven away from his pursuers and headed back to the club's Rush Green training ground. A West Ham spokesperson confirmed that police were handling the incident. It is understood police were called at 12:45 GMT after Carroll returned to the ground. The former Newcastle and Liverpool forward is recovering from a knee injury, having not played for West Ham in the Premier League since the opening day of the season. He signed for the Hammers from the Reds for £15m in 2013, but has only made 38 starts. Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. The 36-year-old, who had been without a club since leaving Bournemouth at the end of last season, has agreed a contract until January. Flahavan has been signed after Newcastle United recalled Freddie Woodman from his loan spell. "We wanted a keeper with lots of experience and Darryl certainly fits the bill," manager Mark Yates told Crawley's website. Flahavan previously spent almost eight years with Southend and has also been at Crystal Palace, Oldham, Leeds and Portsmouth. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Clubb came off the bench in the 23rd minute for his first appearance since undergoing surgery 58 days ago. His try came in between Sean O'Loughlin and Lewis Tierney scores for Wigan, while Lloyd White responded for Widnes to make it 16-6 at the break. White pulled another try back before two Joe Burgess tries sealed victory. Defeat ended Widnes' slim hopes of avoiding a bottom-four finish and having to fight for their top-flight status via the qualifiers. Wigan's win takes them seventh in the table, above Huddersfield who were beaten 36-20 by Salford Red Devils in Sunday's other Super League match. Clubb's comeback for the Warriors was not the only milestone moment for Shaun Wane's side as England full-back Sam Tomkins started a home match for the first time in 2017, having spent nine months out with a broken foot. Tomkins played a crucial part in two tries, with a fine-cut out pass sending Burgess over for the first of two decisive late tries. Winger Burgess' double came after he made a crucial tackle to deny Stefan Marsh a try and Widnes an equaliser with 19 minutes remaining of a pulsating match at the DW Stadium. Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane: "I'm happy with the win but I'm frustrated with some of the errors. "If we keep hold of the ball and stop the unforced errors we could have won by a bigger margin. That's what we need to do, we need to be a bit more ruthless and we weren't that today. "Our defence was much improved, they got two tries from poor defensive errors, but apart from that we defended really well. We have made massive improvements, but we can't mask over it." Widnes Vikings coach Denis Betts: "We played all right. At 16-12 with 10 minutes to go it's a pretty tight game. "We have come back into it. If you look at the first two tries, Clubb's isn't a try and O'Loughlin's is a bit of magic and Danny Craven is out of position because he's only played two games at full-back. "We defended our goal-line well, we've got to complete a bit better and be smarter with the ball, but other than that we didn't look out of our depth. "I thought we had a chance to win that game but we didn't have enough composure or cutting edge to be able to do that." Wigan Warriors: S Tomkins; Tierney, Gelling, Gildart, Burgess; Williams, Leuluai; Nuuausala, McIlorum, Sutton, Bateman, Farrell, O'Loughlin. Replacements: Clubb, Powell, Wells, Isa. Widnes Vikings: Craven; Marsh, Bridge, Runciman, Thompson; Mellor, Gilmore; Dudson, White, Buchanan, Whitley, Houston, Cahill. Replacements: O'Carroll, Gerrard, Olbison, Heremaia. Referee: Scott Mikalauskas. The vast majority were viewed using specialist software which identifies potentially illegal images, which were then viewed by members of the team. The police said that was a typical week for the team. The PSNI said cyber crime now impacts on almost everything police officers do. The officer in charge of the PSNI's cyber crime centre, Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr, said the nature of policing had changing significantly in recent years. "When a serious crime such as an armed robbery has been committed, members of the public see the police response to it in their community," he said. "They see uniformed officers, usually in marked cars, and often with lights and sirens, respond to that emergency situation. There is a visible, tangible response to criminal activity. "But when it comes to cyber crime, the public don't see the crime, unless they are the victim. And they don't see our response. Not because it isn't there but because the response has to be as discreet as the crime itself because of the hidden and technically sophisticated world in which this takes place." The specialist team conducts investigations into incidents ranging from sexual exploitation and blackmail to complex frauds, murders, terrorist incidents and computer enabled attacks on large businesses. In the last financial year, the PSNI examined approximately 6,000 mobile phones and 450 computers. The cyber crime centre has 21 specialist officers, but the PSNI said that is just the core team and that several hundred others throughout Northern Ireland have received specialist training in the examination of digital media and internet research. "We have officers across the PSNI dealing with cyber crime on a daily basis," said ACC Kerr. "They are working hard to keep people safe online from this often unseen threat. The cyber crime centre will work in partnership with the local community, business and industry and law enforcement partners nationally and internationally. "I have no doubt the threat will grow. The test we face, as a police service and as a community, is how we deal with it. "Online safety should be everyone's priority. How police deal with rising demand to tackle cyber crime against a backdrop of reduced resources in the visible world will be an ongoing challenge." Lucy Dixon, 46, of Chelmsley Wood, West Midlands, said it had been folded in her pocket and was torn when she jumped in the air with 38-year-old Annie. The National Lottery said "a range of security checks" had to take place, but it was glad to be able to pay the sum. Annie said they had been "lucky but unlucky" and "the wait was worth it". Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country Her sister, a mother-of-five, said after "checking and checking and checking" the Lucky Lines Yellow Scratchcard on 8 April, she rushed around to Annie's house for her to check it. Lucy added: "She looked, we gazed at each other and then when we had realised we had won we started screaming and then jumping up in the air." She said that night she slept with the ripped card bought from a Tesco Express in Castle Bromwich under her pillow and "spent most of the night waking up to check.... the scratchcard was still there safely hidden". Lottery operator Camelot said it had "a number of security procedures" to ensure "we are comfortable that both parts are from the same ticket, that it is a valid winning ticket and that the player is the rightful ticket-holder". It said it was rare to receive a ticket in two pieces and it sees "torn or folded tickets, or ones which have been written on, more often". A Camelot spokesperson said: "It is essential that we ensure we are paying the rightful ticket-holder, and in situations like this, it can take a little time for these investigations to take place." Lucy said she wanted to treat her family "to a holiday, maybe Spain" and added: "I don't know about the rest." Mother-of-two Annie said she would go on holiday and have "an extra special celebration" for their parents who celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. She also said she had bought an Alfa Romeo that "just looks lovely". Clear AV design and install technologically complex projects but all of its clients are based in London.

Managing Director Philip Dowds said: "Our business has evolved in line with our sector and we are currently finalising an exciting re-brand to help act as a platform for further strategic growth in Britain within the super high-end commercial and residential sectors. "In order to meet our business goals within our strategic plan we will need the right people who buy into our vision and who want to build a successful long-term career working with some of the most prestigious schemes in the UK." Henry Alexander Jr, the son of Scotland's first Ford dealer, drove the Model T up and then down the mountain. The publicity stunt was to show that the mass produced American car was superior to hand-crafted British ones. Highland Council has sought a contractor to develop, cast and install the sculpture in Fort William. The replica is to be installed in the town's Cameron Square. In a notice inviting bids for the work, Highland Council said that up to £89,000 was available for the contract. A group called The Ben Bronze Model T has been promoting the idea of the statue in Fort William, the nearest town to Ben Nevis. In 2011, a team of about 60 volunteers carried a dismantled replica of a Model T Ford car up and then back down from the summit of Ben Nevis. The attempt, made in strong winds, hail and snow, was successfully completed. Volunteers carried wheels, seats and the chassis. Other parts of the car were put into 40 bags weighing 10 pounds (4kg) each. After being reassembled on the summit the car was again dismantled for the descent. Parts of the that replica car would be available to artists as templates for the sculpture, Highland Council said. Footage of the original drive on Ben Nevis was thought to have been lost, before being found. The film, which is in the care of the British Film Institute, shows a peat bank being dynamited to make the journey a bit smoother for the Model T. Gudmundsson struck the post from 25 yards before latching onto Morgan Fox's cross to put his side ahead. Ademola Lookman fired past Marco Silvestri to double the Addicks' lead after the break. Leeds' Chris Wood then struck the post with a header before Sol Bamba nodded home to reduce the arrears, but League One-bound Charlton held on. The home side went into the game on a better run of form, having gone four league games without defeat, but the mid-table side lacked intensity from the outset. Their first real chance came in the second half courtesy of Wood's header which came off the woodwork, before Bamba's free header briefly gave them hope. But Charlton, whose relegation from the Championship was confirmed on 19 April following a goalless draw with Bolton, looked bright throughout and had Nick Pope to thank for ensuring all three points after he denied Mirco Antenucci with a fine injury-time save. Steve Evans on his future as Leeds head coach: "You never hope one result is the difference between whether you are kept or not. "I had a very good meeting with the president (Massimo Cellino) yesterday and it went very well. There were a lot of positive, constructive things said about myself. "I gave my views on what we need to win promotion next season and he gave his." Charlton manager Jose Riga: "In the first half we were in control. Leeds reacted for 15 minutes or so, which is normal, but we built a two-goal lead. "After Leeds scored we defended well, especially our goalkeeper Nick Pope. I told the players that so many things have happened at our club but what matters is what happens on the pitch. "I told them they had to show their quality collectively and individually, which they did." 2 March 2016 Last updated at 00:12 GMT In downtown Johannesburg, there are at least 55 book dealers selling mainly second-hand books, from market stalls and informal stands, close to the train station. It is a competitive business and an important one that helps those who cannot afford to pay the full price for books in the suburbs get their fix of novels, motivation and religious reads. BBC News met one man who goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure people get an affordable read. Video journalist: Christian Parkinson The world number one came through 2-6 6-1 7-6 (7-0) 6-1 against the Japanese eighth seed at Roland Garros. The 30-year-old goes on to face Swiss third seed Stan Wawrinka, who beat Marin Cilic 6-3 6-3 6-1. It is a repeat of last year's semi-final, which Murray won in four sets before going on to lose in the final. "Stan has played fantastic this tournament so far," said the Scot, who was beaten by Novak Djokovic in last year's showpiece. "Last year when we met he was playing very well and I had to play one of my best matches on clay to beat him. "It's not always been easy for me here but the last few years have been great." Nine-time champion Rafael Nadal will take on Dominic Thiem in the second semi-final, after the Austrian knocked out defending champion Djokovic. After impressive wins in the previous two rounds, Murray claimed another fine result, albeit in less clinical fashion. The pair shared 12 breaks of serve on another blustery Paris day, with Nishikori starting superbly but fading as Murray reeled him in. Nishikori, 27, broke serve twice to take the first set as his groundstrokes had Murray constantly on the defensive. Murray's mood was not improved by an early time violation from umpire Carlos Ramos, but it took another in the second set to fire up the top seed. The Briton remonstrated with the official before returning to the action, fired by injustice, roaring "Let's go!" as he clinched the game. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. The first streak of Nishikori brilliance was over and the Japanese player double-faulted to drop serve at 3-1, and then woefully misjudged leaving a ball that landed well inside the baseline to fall 5-1 down. Nishikori twice fell a break behind with poor service games in the third set only to hit straight back each time, infuriating Murray, who served for the set at 6-5. It might have been expected to shift the momentum in Nishikori's favour, but he played a desperate tie-break and Murray reeled off all seven points. A brilliant piece of trademark Murray scrambling helped secure the decisive break midway through the fourth set and Nishikori's challenge was as good as over. "Come on!" screamed Murray as he broke again for a 5-1 lead before closing out the match with one of his easier service games of the afternoon. The momentum of the match switched sharply after umpire Carlos Ramos penalised Murray the loss of a serve for a time violation. Murray later said any delay was down to him missing a ball toss. "Obviously for a couple of points after that I was fired up, because I was frustrated at that moment," he said. "It felt to me like it was a strange decision. I have never seen anyone get a warning after they have missed the ball toss. I have never seen that. "So I was frustrated about it, but I don't know how much impact that had." Swiss third seed Wawrinka set up another Paris semi-final with Murray after breezing past seventh seed Cilic in the last eight. The three-time Grand Slam champion, 32, cruised to a 6-3 6-3 6-1 win against the Croatian in an hour and 40 minutes. Wawrinka, who won the Roland Garros title in 2015, has still not dropped a set in Paris this year. He is the oldest man to make the last four since Jimmy Connors in 1985. "It was perfect today, I'm very satisfied," Wawrinka said after his 12th win in 14 meetings with Cilic. Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent In terms of performance, this was a backward step, but Murray still managed to beat the eighth seed with relative comfort to reach yet another Grand Slam semi-final. Murray was far from his best but, after an excellent first set, Nishikori was very poor. His contribution to the all-important third set tie-break was to make three forehand unforced errors, three backhand unforced errors and serve a double fault. Murray's display will not give Wawrinka any sleepless nights, but he will remember how outstandingly well the world number one played to beat him in four sets in last year's semi-final. It happened at a house in the Limewood area of the town on Monday morning. "Thankfully even with the array of weaponry being used, there were no serious injures," police said on their Banbridge Facebook page. "There weapons could have killed, easily. We're glad to get them off the street," they added. DUP assembly member Carla Lockhart said she had been told the incident was "domestic related", rather than sectarian. "The weapons that were seized could certainly do a lot of damage and indeed could kill and it's very worrying," she said. The results, written up by MIT Review, revealed that its IQ was equivalent to that of a four-year-old. Increasingly machines are getting better at specific tasks such as playing chess, recognising pictures and making complex commutations. But general intelligence is still proving elusive for most of them. The MIT machine - dubbed ConceptNet4 - was put through its paces by researchers from the University of Illinois, led by Stellan Ohlsson. The IQ test they chose, known as the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, is commonly used in US schools. It is designed for young children and measures intelligence in five categories: The questions had to be modified for the computer and some programming was necessary to allow the machine to understand what it was being asked. It did well on vocabulary and similarities, had an average score on information and scored poorly in the word reasoning and comprehension categories. "The ConceptNet scored a [mark] that is average for a four-year-old child, but below average for five to seven-year-olds," the researchers concluded. A lot depended on how the machine interpreted the questions. For instance, in answer to the question 'Why do we shake hands?", the machine produced the result "epileptic fit". But when the team reduced the question to just "shake hand", the computer came back with more relevant answers such as "flirt", "thanks" and "meet friend". Sometimes its answers appeared completely illogical - in response to the question "Where can you find a teacher?", it came back with "piano" and "band". The researchers could not explain such anomalies but did suggest ways that the test could be improved - for instance, inputting questions using natural language via a virtual assistant such as Siri or Cortana. The history of AI research stretches back to the 1950s. In the early days, computers were given knowledge bases and worked things out using logic and reasoning. That method of teaching computers has been surpassed in recent decades by a new era of machine learning, where AIs are given large quantities of data from which they can learn. The researchers concluded that both approaches might be useful in future. "In general, recent successes in AI have been mostly learning-driven and the era of knowledge-driven AI appears to have passed. Perhaps knowledge bases that are a hybrid of the two paradigms will play a role in the next round of AI progress." The BBC recently ran a season of AI coverage - you can catch up on the series in the Intelligent Machines index. Here are a few of the highlights: Kenneth Roth, director of Human Rights Watch, tweeted a picture of her, saying President Trump "chose [a] woman who ran CIA black site for torture". Mr Roth had meant to tweet a picture of Gina Haspel, named as CIA deputy director by Mr Trump on Thursday. Maitlis replied: "Erm. This is me." Mr Roth then deleted the tweet. Mr Trump's appointment of Ms Haspel was met with claims from human rights groups that she played a role in secret "black site" prisons run by CIA officers and contractors. Ms Haspel, who joined the CIA in 1985, ran a prison in Thailand where terror suspects were waterboarded. So-called black sites were secret overseas locations where the CIA carried out interrogation techniques. They were closed by the former US President Barack Obama. Christopher Anders, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington office, told the New York Times he was "gravely concerned" about Ms Haspel's appointment. Announcing the decision, CIA director Mike Pompeo said Ms Haspel was "an exemplary intelligence officer" with an "uncanny ability to get things done and to inspire those around her". But the BBC's Maitlis said she was "pretty sure" she herself had never run a CIA black site for torture. A spokesman for Human Rights Watch, Andrew Stroehlein, said he had "no idea" how the mix-up had occurred. He added: "BBC interviews can be tough but not to that level. Seriously: Very sorry. Ken will pick this up in US time." Mr Roth tweeted that he was "sorry" for posting the wrong picture. But this was not enough for some critics, with one tweeting: "Are you going to apologise to her?" and another posting: "'Sorry'? That's all you got? Try little harder Ken!" Protest leaders said they decided to "adjourn" the vote after disagreements over its format and apologised for a "lack of discussion" with protesters. The vote was to be held electronically and was cancelled just four hours before it was meant to start. Tens of thousands of protesters have joined a sit-in calling for full democracy in Hong Kong since September. On Tuesday, student protest leaders and government officials held talks for the first time, but made little progress towards ending the impasse. The government, represented by deputy leader Carrie Lam, offered to send a report to Chinese government officials reflecting the protesters' views, and set up a platform to facilitate dialogue on future constitutional changes. Protest leaders initially rejected the government's offer before pledging on Friday to hold the now-cancelled vote. "We feel we have been conducting the vote hastily," said Benny Tai, one of the founders of the Occupy Central protest group, "We decided to adjourn the vote at the square but it doesn't mean the movement has stopped," he told AFP. In a statement, Occupy Central said: "We apologise to the public for the lack of discussion among the participants before making the previous decision." Though numbers have fallen significantly since the early days of the protests, a hard core of demonstrators - mostly students - have said they will not give up their occupation of central areas until China changes its mind on the rules for Hong Kong's 2017 election. They also want Chief Executive CY Leung to stand down. The Chinese government has ruled that candidates for the chief executive election must be vetted by a nominating committee dominated by pro-Beijing groups. The protesters say they should be allowed a wholly free choice of candidate. Chinese and Hong Kong leaders say the street protest is illegal. Valerie Watts also told delegates at a health conference that a more open and transparent debate was required around how society pays for care. Transforming Your Care (TYC) is the biggest overhaul of the health service in Northern Ireland for decades. Ms Watts admitted it had had branding issues, including much bad publicity. In a frank and open address, Ms Watts outlined her views on delivering reform to several hundreds delegates attending the annual NI Confederation of Health and Social Care conference. She said Northern Ireland needed a more open and honest debate about paying for services, including payments for social care. Ms Watts said while she believed strongly in the NHS principles of from cradle to grave, the institution could not be fossilised. In a very personal speech, she said that leaders' behaviour often contradicted the words that came out of their mouths. "Reform is difficult and it takes time and belief," she said. "There is danger in disingenuous reform, fads and the confusion that follows. "This board needs to continue looking at itself and and changes to improve need to happen ASAP." About 17,000 properties in Tameside and Saddleworth have been affected since Sunday by a "technical fault" on equipment, United Utilities said. The firm added the flaw had been fixed, but some untreated water had entered the local pipe network. Residents have been told to boil drinking water until further notice. A United Utilities spokesman said the advice was "precautionary" and was "expected to remain in place for at least the next 48 hours". He said more than 170,000 bottles of water had been made available to schools and other priority customers such as nursing homes. The firm said it was waiting for all the results from testing and sampling at Buckton Water Treatment Works to confirm the quality of tap water was "back to normal". In the meantime, water should be boiled for drinking, food preparation and brushing of teeth. Customers can continue to use tap water for general domestic purposes such as bathing and flushing toilets. If the water looks dirty or cloudy, the company recommends waiting until the water has cleared before washing clothes. United Utilities said that customers would receive compensation automatically this week. Stalybridge resident Lawrence Tate said the firm did not do enough to tell people about the fault and that all the updates had been online. "A lot of old people don't go on the net. You would imagine they would come around warning people," he said. Mary Shaw in Carrbrook, Stalybridge, only found out when she got a text from her son in Saudi Arabia who had seen the warning online. "If I hadn't have received that, I wouldn't have known at all and we didn't get any official notification from United Utilities until about 20:00 last night when we got a card put through the door," she said. She said it was "a disgrace" the company was "making a massive, unchecked assumption that people can and will be accessing" the information online. Martin Padley from United Utilities said the firm tried to get the message out quickly using a mix of traditional media - like postcards through doors, social media, mobile phone texts and broadcast media. He was watched by millions during New Zealand's 34-17 win over Australia at Twickenham on Saturday. But the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) said his next job was in Gowerton, Swansea - where the average attendance is 150. Match official manager Nigel Whitehouse said Owens would be "coming back down to earth with a bump". Mr Whitehouse added: "He had a fantastic World Cup and was the people's choice to take charge of the final. "But he is refereeing two village teams next weekend - it will be good for him to do a local game." Owens started off refereeing local teams in Wales and will return to be the man in the middle when Gowerton RFC play Crymych RFC in Swalec League Division One West on Saturday. The 44-year-old was only the second Welshman to take charge of a World Cup final following Derek Bevan, who refereed in 1991 when Australia edged England, also at Twickenham. Owens's famed no-nonsense approach saw him give All Blacks man-of-the-match Dan Carter a ticking-off for bad language, telling him: "Don't swear, you're on the telly." Residents from his home village, Mynyddcerrig, in Carmarthenshire, decorated the streets with bunting and banners to celebrate his appointment.

The two-day walkout ended at midnight but all routes are expected to be affected throughout Thursday. A reduced service is operating across the Southern network with no service on some routes due to the ongoing overtime ban by Aslef drivers. Talks are being held at Acas to prevent further strikes, including on Friday. Southern passenger services director Angie Doll said: "We will be working hard to run as many services as possible. "But, regrettably, I have to warn passengers that services will be severely impacted, with reductions and cancellations across all routes." There are no trains on some routes, including between East Croydon and Milton Keynes Central, and on the Gatwick Express between the airport and Brighton. There are no direct trains between London and either Portsmouth or Southampton, or London and Reigate, with a very limited peak service between Brighton and London. A bus service is in operation between Lewes and Seaford. Services are expected to be disrupted during the evening as drivers prepare to take further strike action on Friday, Southern said. The train operator said the overtime ban by the Aslef union would continue to have an impact on services every day. Talks have been held at conciliation service Acas in a bid to prevent further strikes. Aslef said progress was made on Wednesday, but a planned strike on Friday would still go ahead. Negotiations are due to resume later. Both Aslef and the RMT union, which has been staging separate strikes since April, are planning further stoppages. The two unions are in dispute over changes to guards' roles on driver-only operated (DOO) trains, which would see drivers opening and closing doors. The RMT fears jobs cuts and has safety concerns, while Aslef has described DOO as "inherently unsafe". Aslef's general secretary, Mick Whelan, has said DOO is "old, not new technology" designed for four-car trains in the early 1980s. He said rail workers now have 1,100 passengers on a 12-car train and, under DOO, two seconds to check 24 sets of doors. The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, has said trains where drivers close the doors are safe. It has claimed that a third of trains across Britain operate this way and have done so safely for 30 years. Tim Loughton, the Conservative MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, is to put a bill before parliament to make it easier for passengers to get compensation and to increase financial penalties paid by train companies. He said: "GTR are paid over £1bn to run the rail service, they paid fines of just over £2m. "That is a fraction of 1% and I don't think that is hurting them in the pocket enough to give them the sense of urgency to make sure their trains run on time and don't get cancelled." Mr Loughton said he wants a new rail ombudsman to be put in place. He said: "We don't have a proper ombudsman with teeth at the moment. "The job of the ombudsman will be to deal with complaints properly, proper recompense and to run that compensation system, and to flag up where there is serial abuse by rail operating companies that are not providing the service they should be and to haul them up accordingly." 00:01 Friday 16 December to 23:59: Friday 16 December (Aslef and RMT drivers' strike) 00:01 Monday 19 December to 23:59 Tuesday 20 December (RMT conductors' strike) 00:01 Saturday 31 December to 23:59 Monday 2 January (RMT conductors' strike) 00:01 Monday 9 January to 23:59: Saturday 14 January (Aslef and RMT drivers' strike)

Services on the Southern rail network are being severely disrupted following a 48-hour strike by train drivers, the rail operator says.

"He's a much nicer version of Donald Trump but the campaign is remarkably similar in my opinion," said Mr Clarke. The veteran pro-EU MP was speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Vote Leave have stepped up their focus on immigration, accusing David Cameron of harming public trust in politics with his pledge to cut net migration. Follow the latest updates on our live page In a joint letter to the prime minister, Mr Johnson and Justice Secretary Michael Gove said Mr Cameron's promise to reduce net migration to below 100,000 at last year's general election was "plainly not achievable as long as the UK is a member of the EU". Following the letter, a number of Conservative MPs broke ranks to call for Mr Cameron to quit even if the Remain campaign wins in 23 June's referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU. Nadine Dorries - a long standing backbench critic of the prime minister who says she would back Mr Johnson in any contest to replace him - predicted the PM would be "toast" if Remain won by a narrow margin. She told ITV's Peston on Sunday she had tabled a letter seeking a no-confidence vote in Mr Cameron. Fellow Leave campaigner Andrew Bridgen suggested more than the 50 Conservative MPs needed to trigger such a vote were ready to move against Mr Cameron. In his Today interview, Mr Clarke said Conservative in-fighting was "damaging to the referendum". "The public are getting fed up with Tory civil wars when they thought they were being asked about the future of this country for their children and grandchildren. "All this stuff about whether one or two backbenchers have signed letters calling for David Cameron to resign, I think most of the public would agree, is a bit of a diversion. "I think Boris and Donald Trump should go away for a bit and enjoy themselves and not get in the way of the serious issues which modern countries of the 21st century face." Pressed on his opinion of Mr Johnson, he said: "He is a much nicer version of Donald Trump but the campaign is remarkably similar in my opinion and about as relevant to the real problems that the public face." Conservative MP Maria Caulfield, who entered Parliament at the 2015 election, said she hoped hostilities between Tory MPs would cease after the referendum. "Of the new intake, the 2015 intake, we're very much hoping that after the referendum we can get back to doing the work we set out to do and that David Cameron as the prime minister will be leading that way," she told BBC Radio 4's The World at One. Number 10 dismissed the personal attacks as a "distraction" intended to move attention away from the economic arguments for remaining in the EU. Republican candidate Mr Trump sparked controversy by suggesting a temporary "ban" on Muslims entering the United States and has pledged to build a wall to prevent Mexican illegal immigrants entering the country.

Ken Clarke has compared Boris Johnson to US Presidential candidate Donald Trump as the war of words between rival Conservative EU campaigners escalates.

David Mundell told MPs that Brexit would "self-evidently" change the devolution settlement, and said powers would not be taken away from Holyrood. The MP said leaving the EU "should be seen as an opportunity for Scotland". SNP members pressed the Tory minister on what the effect of Brexit could be on Scotland's economy during Scottish Questions at Westminster. Glasgow North West MP Carol Monaghan asked: "Given that Brexit continues to be billed as taking back control, can the secretary of state tell us which powers that are currently controlled by Brussels will the UK Government commit to giving to Holyrood and which will be re-reserved to Westminster?" Mr Mundell replied: "It's self-evident that, because the devolution settlements within the United Kingdom are predicated on the basis that the United Kingdom was a member of the European Union, then those devolution settlements will be changed by the United Kingdom leaving the EU and those will be matters which will be subject to debate and discussion." Glasgow North MP Patrick Grady then asked the minister to clarify if that meant that currently devolved powers could be taken away from Holyrood. He said: "I'm not entirely certain the secretary of state answered that question. Will you categorically rule out that powers will not be re-reserved to this parliament as a result of the decision to leave the European Union?" Mr Mundell said: "No, what I can say is that no powers which are currently exercised by the Scottish Parliament will be re-reserved to this parliament as a result of the United Kingdom leaving the EU." Elsewhere in the session, former cabinet secretary Michael Gove attacked the idea of Scottish independence, saying it would "land the people of Scotland with a huge public sector deficit and the prospect of either tax rises or cuts to services". Mr Mundell said that a second independence referendum should be taken "off the table", saying that the UK is "the union which matters to Scotland". In the prime minister's questions session which followed, SNP group leader Angus Robertson pressed Theresa May on the issue of hate crime. He also claimed Tory rhetoric on immigration had been "xenophobic", saying people were "totally disgusted" by it. Mrs May said she had been very clear that there was "absolutely no place in our society for racism, no place in our society for hate crime". She said this message should be repeated "with one voice from across this chamber". The prime minister also rejected claims from Labour that she was overseeing a "shambolic Tory Brexit".

Holyrood might be given new powers when the UK leaves the European Union, the Scottish secretary has suggested.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 21-year-old former Inverness Caledonian Thistle player has made seven appearances for the champions this season, scoring once. Christie will train with his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday. "I am delighted to get a player of Ryan's quality," Dons boss Derek McInnes told the club website. "We want to make a couple of additions in the January window - quality additions - and there is no doubt Ryan has the quality to come in and make an impact with us. "Ryan can help us with the challenges that lie ahead during the second half of the season. I would also like to thank [Celtic manager] Brendan Rodgers and Celtic for assisting in getting the deal done." After progressing through the youth ranks at Caley Thistle, Christie signed for Celtic in September 2015, following in the footsteps of father Charlie, who also had a spell at Celtic Park. Last season's runners-up Aberdeen are currently third in the Premiership - two points behind Rangers - but have a game in hand. The Dons reached the fifth round of the Scottish Cup on Saturday by beating Stranraer 4-0.

Celtic and Scotland Under-21 forward Ryan Christie has joined Aberdeen on loan until the end of the season.

Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur and Pawan Gupta were found guilty on all counts earlier this week. Judge Yogesh Khanna said the case fell in the "rarest of rare category", rejecting pleas for a lighter sentence. The woman, 23, was attacked on a bus in December and died two weeks later. By Sanjoy MajumderBBC News, Delhi Throughout the day the crowd built up steadily outside the court. Unprecedented security was in place with the road to the court barricaded by police. Inside riot police took up positions as the lawyers were escorted in. As Judge Yogesh Khanna read out the sentence one of the defendants broke down. As news of the sentence was relayed outside, the crowd broke into a cheer. "Justice, justice!" they chanted. Others called for the juvenile to be hanged as well. The parents of the victim - who were present in the courtroom - said they were satisfied with the verdict and justice had been served. On Friday, Judge Khanna said the attack "shocked the collective conscience" of India, and that "courts cannot turn a blind eye" to such crimes. "This case definitely falls in the rarest of rare categories and warrants the exemplary punishment of death," he added. The men were convicted to death by hanging, and one of them, Vinay Sharma, broke down in tears as the verdict was announced. The father of the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the family was satisfied with the ruling. "We are very happy. Justice has been delivered," he said in the courtroom, according to the Associated Press news agency. Earlier, protesters outside the court had demanded that the four men should be hanged. As they were escorted to the courtroom, the four men shouted to the crowd: "Brothers, save us!" They all deny the charges and can still appeal against the verdict to the Supreme Court and also ask the president for clemency - a process that could take years. By Soutik BiswasIndia correspondent Does the sentence bring closure? The defence lawyers argued during the trial that their clients had been tortured and some of their confessions - later retracted - had been coerced. There was unprecedented police security in Delhi on Friday. The road to the court was barricaded by police, and inside riot police took up positions as the lawyers were escorted in, the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in the Indian capital reports. In August, a teenager who was found guilty of taking part in the rape was sentenced to three years in a reform facility, the maximum term possible because the crime was committed when he was 17. He also denied all the charges. Another suspect, Ram Singh, was found dead in his cell in March. Prison officials said they believed he hanged himself but his family allege he was murdered. Profiles: Delhi rapists #100Women: Join the conversation The December attack sparked a national debate on the treatment of women. Tough new laws were introduced in March which allowed the death penalty - carried out very rarely in India - to be handed down in the most serious cases of rape. Reacting to Friday's verdict, human rights groups said the death penalties would not end violence against women in India and that far-reaching reforms were needed to tackle the endemic problem. "Sending these four men to the gallows will accomplish nothing except short-term revenge," said Tara Rao, Director of Amnesty International India. "While the widespread anger over this case is understandable, authorities must avoid using the death penalty as a 'quick-fix' solution." Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch's South Asia director Meenakshi Ganguly told the BBC: "The punishment of perpetrators is important but equally working together as a society to keep women safe is much, much more important." Elliot Peacock, from Newton Mearns, was a member of Eastwood District Scouts. The incident happened at the Lillaz Falls, about 1,800m above sea level, in the Gran Paradiso National Park on Sunday. Outdoor education provider Acorn Adventure said he was part of a group jumping into water under instruction. It said the group were "gorge scrambling", which involves walking up and down a gorge and jumping from a low level into pools, on the second day of their nine-day adventure activity trip in northern Italy. "On this particular occasion, the group were jumping from a height of approximately 60cm into the water, where instructors were waiting for them, as is normal," said a statement. "Water conditions were optimum for the activity and the weather was warm and sunny. "As this participant entered the water for the second time, it was obvious to the instructors that something was wrong, so they rescued him from the water immediately. "There was no obvious contact with a rock or anything else, so the reason for losing consciousness remains unexplained. "Instructors who are trained first aiders and nurses who were also at the scene began CPR and continued until the air ambulance arrived 10 minutes after being called. "Very sadly, they were unable to resuscitate him." An investigation into the incident is being led by the Guardia di Finanza (Finance Guard) of Entreves and Acorn Adventure said it was working with the Italian emergency services and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Acorn Adventure added: "Staff have since returned to the site with the police investigating the incident and it is now understood that there was no impact with a rock. "Gorge scrambling has been operated by Acorn at this particular location for hundreds of participants every year for the past five years. "It is controlled by fully trained and assessed instructors and all participants are equipped with helmets, buoyancy aids, full wetsuits and footwear." Senior company staff, along with a trauma counsellor, have travelled to Italy to provide support to Elliot's family, who have flown there from Scotland. Acorn Adventure founder and managing director Andrew Gardiner said: "We are all profoundly saddened by this tragic incident and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the boy. "Our priority is to ensure we do all we can to help them by working with the various organisations involved to understand how this happened. "The rest of the group are supporting each other and showing great maturity. They are a great credit to their scout group and their parents." Elliot was a member of the Pegasus Explorer Scout Unit, which is linked to the 35th Glasgow Scout Group, In a statement, the Scout Association confirmed that he had been taking part in a holiday to the Aosta Valley in Italy. "The Scout Association continues to support Elliot's parents, the young people and leaders who are part of the event," it stated. "We will continue to work with Acorn Adventure, who organised the itinerary and programme, to establish if there are any lessons to learn from this tragic incident" The Foreign Office said it was aware of the death of a British national in Italy and was ready to provide consular assistance. Trailing 0-4 to 0-2 early on, Tyrone bounced back to lead 0-10 to 0-6 after a first half which saw defences on top. A Sean Cavanagh goal made it 1-13 to 0-9 to the hosts, then Derry had captain Chrissy McKaigue sent-off for a second yellow card offence late in the game. Aidan McCrory found the net to complete a convincing success for the Red Hands. For Derry, it was another disappointing defeat following their home loss at the hands of Galway last week. O'Neill top-scored for Mickey Harte's side with six points, with Cavanagh contributing 1-3 and Richard Donnelly 0-4. James Kielt landed three points for the Oak Leafers, who also lost to their Ulster rivals in the McKenna Cup final in January.

Among a series of exemptions are children who are born as a result of "non-consensual conception". The British Medical Association said it would support doctors who refused to take part in the assessment process. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has insisted that rape victims would not be denied child tax credits. It has said rape victims would not have to describe the details to members of its staff. Instead, a healthcare professional, social worker or an approved rape charity could give evidence on their behalf. However, the BMA is concerned that the new regulations raise ethical and professional problems for doctors. Its UK council considered the role of doctors in the process and ratified a motion which "highlighted the terrible ordeal" of affected women. Dr Peter Bennie, the chairman of BMA Scotland, said: "This legislation has been pushed through without thorough consultation with relevant stakeholders such as the BMA, and yet the regulations present significant ethical and professional challenges for doctors. "The 'rape clause' is fundamentally damaging for women - forcing them to disclose rape and abuse at a time and in a manner not of their choosing, at pain of financial penalty. "In addition to the likely negative impact on the woman and the doctor-patient relationship, there is also the impact on individual children, who may have been conceived through coercion or rape, to consider. "This is an ill-conceived piece of legislation and I encourage doctors to consider very carefully whether to participate in this process or not." The move was welcomed by SNP MP Alison Thewliss, who has led a campaign calling for the "rape clause" to be scrapped. She said: "It is a strong message to the UK government and a clear stand against the damaging and immoral rape clause which forces women to disclose rape and abuse to avoid a financial penalty. "The SNP have led the campaign against the Tories' two child-policy and the abhorrent rape clause right from the moment it was announced in George Osborne's July Budget in 2015. "It was the SNP who questioned it time and time again, led debates against it and gathered opposition across civil society. We will continue to call for the two-child policy and the rape clause to be scrapped in this new Parliament of minorities. "The two-child restriction on tax credits has been opposed by many organisations as being damaging to family incomes, particularly those who are working in low-paid jobs. "The UK government now needs to listen to the BMA as well as many other organisations who are calling out the rape clause for what it really is - absolutely shameful." Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: "Forcing rape victims to fill out a form acknowledging their child is the result of rape is one of the most vile policies ever introduced by a Tory government, and that is saying something. "Labour's government-in-waiting in Westminster would do what any decent government would and bring this abhorrent policy to an end." The crowd formed from 03:00 before staff opened the Next store at 06:00 GMT at Eagles Meadow. In Cardiff, shoppers have been spending around £2m a day at St David's shopping centre during peaks in Christmas trade. This month, MPs debated whether Boxing Day should be treated like Christmas Day following a 140,000-name petition calling for shops to be shut. In Wrexham, shoppers were given numbered tickets to ensure the maximum number of people allowed on the premises was not exceeded. First in the queue was carer Jade Jones, from Wrexham, who wanted to stock up on clothes for her two young sons. "It's definitely worth it without a shadow of a doubt," she said about the early start. "I will spend £300 and that will save me about £300." In Cardiff, Steven Madeley, general manager for St David's, said the complex was seeing over 1 million visitors a week. "We're expecting tens of thousands of shoppers to descend on St David's today," he said. Bridgend MP Madeleine Moon chaired the parliamentary discussion about Boxing Day shopping after an e-petition gained 140,000 signatures - more than the 100,000 required for Parliament to hold a debate - although no decision was taken. Ogmore MP Chris Elmore, who used to work in retail and has previously worked on Boxing Day, said: "Perhaps government should be taking a more pro-active approach to give people those two days off [Christmas and Boxing Day]." He said it affected workers and put "pressure on families" but he added that a "balanced view" had to be taken as some retailers believed it was worth opening their businesses on Boxing Day. In response to the e-petition, the UK Government said: "We do not believe it is for central government to tell businesses how to run their shops or how best to serve their customers." The train, which crashed into a pylon as it derailed, won't be moved until after 22:00 BST. Platforms one to five are closed due to damage caused to signalling and overhead wires. Great Western Railway warned passengers of "significant disruption". The empty train was automatically derailed after passing a red signal outside Paddington at about 18:30 on Thursday evening, leaving two of the six lines into the station out of use. Network Rail has said it will "await the conclusion of the official investigation" before commenting on the cause of the crash. It said a limited service would run to and from London Paddington until the end of Friday, with timetables also affected over the weekend. A spokesperson for Network Rail said in a statement: "Our priority plan is to enable Heathrow Express to run a full service, to reopen as many of platforms one to five as we can, to recover the derailed train, to repair the damaged infrastructure and restore full services." They added: "It's a much more complicated situation than it may appear on the ground to passengers." This incident will have been referred to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch and investigators will be trying to find out why the driver passed a signal at red. The train was derailed by what are called "trap points" which have been part of the railway for well over a century. Experts say it is a fail safe so if the signal is at red, the points are set to shunt the train off the track to protect the main line. What has made fixing the problem more complicated is the train hit a pylon supporting the overhead power lines. Those lines are now out of action reducing services. Engineers will probably have to remove the pylon and then the derailed train and then fix the overhead wires. So it's a big job. I'm told that probably won't happen on Friday and the best way to reduce the levels of disruption will be to start that work over the weekend." Great Western Railway (GWR) is running more than half its services through the Thames Valley, but services are busier than normal. A GWR spokesman apologised for the disruption caused and added: "We expect to run close to a full service over the weekend, with a small number of changes to the normal timetable." Heathrow Connect services were suspended and Heathrow Express trains were only running every 30 minutes rather than the usual 15 minutes. There are revised services between Paddington and Swansea, Penzance, Oxford, Greedford and Bedwyn. Transport For London has allocated additional buses to affected routes. No passengers were on board when the train derailed and there were no injuries. Andrew Le Masurier died three months ago. Geoffrey Morris from the club said Mr Le Masurier was an inspiration as well as a dedicated and passionate collector. The club's first model railway exhibition since the death of Mr Le Masurier started on Saturday and is one of its largest. It attracted hundreds of model railway fans from across the island and featured a range of different trains and models. Mr Morris said: "The late Andrew Le Masurier was profoundly deaf, but he was one of our most active members. "We were so proud to make a lovely nameplate in the form of a Great Western Railway nameplate, which proudly says the 'Andrew Le Masurier Hall'. "This is our 33rd exhibition. We have held them at various venues around the island." Auditors PwC found the festival had not been at arm's length and was operating as though part of the council. A report raised concerns about appropriate controls not being in place over finances. Councillors have agreed that a further report be prepared into the financial set up of the festival. The AIYF, which has been running for more than 40 years, attracts thousands of young people from all over the world. In particular, Mr Kim's non-attendance at two high-profile public events - the 10 October anniversary of the establishment of the Korean Worker's Party, and the 9 September Foundation Day of the North Korean State - two signature days in the political calendar when the leader would be expected to make an appearance, has been read by some as a sign of potential political turmoil behind the scenes. Official North Korean media have cited unspecified personal "discomfort" as grounds for Mr Kim's absence from public view. Foreign analysts of the regime have speculated, on the basis of very limited empirical evidence, that this may be based on a variety of causes ranging from gout, diabetes, heavy smoking on the part of the young leader, ankle injuries sustained during recent military inspection visits, and most recently (according to testimony from a German doctor who met Mr Kim) substantial problems in his endocrine system and internal organs. Poor health is a plausible explanation for Mr Kim's decision to shun the limelight - a striking departure for a leader who, in marked contrast to his publicity-shy father (the late Kim Jong-il), has appeared to revel in high-profile public appearances. A more dramatic interpretation is that Mr Kim has been the victim of a political coup and is languishing under house arrest, having been removed from power by members of the North's political and military gerontocracy alarmed by his penchant for purging his political rivals - most notably the execution of his uncle Jang Song-taek in December 2013 - and his failure to promote lasting economic prosperity. In particular, senior members of the Pyongyang elite, may, according to this theory, have become increasingly disgruntled as a result of tightening international sanctions that have curtailed their access to privileges in-kind, typically in the form of ever more scarce luxury commodities. Alternatively, Mr Kim's putative political fall from grace could be the result of worries within political circles that the North has been failing in the high-stakes game of international diplomacy. An erratic policy over the last nine months of alternately sharply criticising and reaching out to the Park Geun-hye administration in South Korea has failed to deliver any political or economic dividends for the North, whether in the form of substantially expanded humanitarian aid, a re-start of tourism at the North's Mount Kumgang resort, or a dramatic rise in inward foreign investment and trade. The Obama administration remains resolutely committed to not responding to the North's military and political provocations, and the North seems incapable of leveraging its de facto nuclear status into any meaningful political or diplomatic concessions from Washington; even China, the North's sole security guarantor and regional ally, has become increasingly irritated by Mr Kim's regional belligerence. Yet for all the talk of coups and leadership realignments, the circumstantial evidence suggests that Mr Kim remains in charge. South Korea's intelligence community supports the view that he is recuperating from illness and that the decision to limit his public appearances is more likely an attempt to maintain the general air of infallibility associated with the Kim dynasty. If anything, recent diplomatic overtures are, more plausibly, confirmation that Mr Kim continues to dictate national policy. The 4 October surprise visit to Seoul by a three-man delegation, headed by Mr Kim's trusted senior military adviser, Hwang Pyong-so, vice-chairman of the National Defence Commission and a former official in the country's powerful but secretive Organisation and Guidance Department (OGD), points to Kim still being in control. Mr Hwang reportedly brought with him a personal message from Mr Kim to President Park and the visit was intended to open up rare diplomatic space for renewed North-South dialogue. This comes on the heels of a similar overture in late September at the United Nations, when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon received a handwritten letter from Mr Kim, delivered by North Korean foreign minister Ri Su-young - the first time in 15 years that a senior North Korean official has attended the United Nations. Perhaps the strongest evidence against the coup scenario is the lack of a clear successor to Mr Kim. North Korea lacks any tradition of collective leadership to warrant a political transition in the North comparable to the post-Stalin shift that occurred under Khrushchev and Malenkov in the Soviet Union in 1953. Most importantly the dominance of the Kim dynasty and reliance exclusively on family lineage as a basis for political legitimacy in the North restricts the range of eligible replacement leaders to a handful of distinctly implausible options. Mr Kim's two brothers are non-starters, with one of them in exile overseas and the second disqualified on grounds of his effeminate character and reported predilection for amphetamines. There has been speculation that Mr Kim's younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, may be standing in temporarily for her brother, but even if true, it is highly unlikely that she would constitute a viable and publicly acceptable alternative leader in a highly sexist society that has no basis for having a woman at the helm. For now, the most banal explanation for Kim Jong-un's absence is the most convincing - health concerns of an undisclosed nature are keeping him from public view. If and when he returns, expect more diplomacy and efforts at renewed engagement with the outside world, coupled with periodic bouts of largely symbolic political and military sabre-rattling to demonstrate that North Korea remains both a force to be reckoned with and a state neither to be ignored nor taken for granted. John Swenson-Wright is head of the Asia Programme at Chatham House. The deficit was 53.4bn yen ($440m; £283m) - lower than 825.5bn yen a year ago, and below expectations of 318.9bn yen. There was a surplus in March. Exports in the world's third largest economy rose 8% from a year ago - up for the eighth month - but imports fell by 4.2%, well above the 1.5% forecast. The Nikkei was up 0.7% to 20,413.77. That marks the seventh consecutive rise for the benchmark index, which is on its longest winning streak since December. It has gained 4.3% in the period. Investors were expecting the deficit, but sentiment was boosted by the fact that the shortfall was much lower than anticipated. Shares of Japan Tobacco were up 1.1% after local reports that Suntory Beverage & Food would buy its beverage vending machine business for 150bn yen. The firm had announced in February that it was getting out of the beverage industry. Chinese shares hit another seven-year high with the Shanghai Composite up 2.4% to 4,768.98 - leading the region's gains. Infrastructure and transport stocks boosted the benchmark index after Beijing said it was seeking private funding for over $300bn (£193bn) worth of public projects. The Hong Kong market was closed for a public holiday. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 ended higher by 1% to 5,721.5. Shares of miner Sirius Resources jumped more than 21% after fellow miner Independence Group launched a $1.4bn bid to take it over and create a diverse base metals and gold mining group. Meanwhile, markets in South Korea were closed for Buddha's birthday holiday. The shooting triggered several nights of protests across the city. Scott's family say he was unarmed but police insist he had a gun. Prosecutors revealed surveillance footage appearing to show a holstered gun on his ankle. Footage released directly after the shooting by police and by Scott's wife had been inconclusive. District Attorney Andrew Murray, who made the announcement, said 15 experienced prosecutors had unanimously recommended there was insufficient evidence to charge Officer Brentley Vinson. Mr Murray said he had informed the family of the verdict prior to his public announcement. After the news was released, police were put on high alert and the city of Charlotte released a statement: "We recognize that for some members of our community, this news will be met with different reactions. "No matter where you stand on the issue, the events surrounding the Scott shooting have forever changed our community, and we intend to learn from and build a stronger Charlotte because of it." North Carolina's governor declared a state of emergency in the city in September after protesters turned violent. Lawyers for Scott's family said they might still consider filing a lawsuit because of different standards for criminal charges and civil liability. Mr Vinson was placed on administrative leave following the shooting - common practice after such incidents. The "Black Lives Matter" movement, which led many of the protests following Scott's death, was started after the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police. According to one research group, over 100 unarmed black people were killed by the police in 2015 and a string of riots occurred following similar shootings this year. Details of the shooting released by Mr Murray at a news conference state that plainclothes police went to an apartment complex on 20 September to look for a suspect - not Scott - with an outstanding warrant. Prosecutors say Scott parked in the apartment complex's car park, beside officers, after going into a local shop. Footage from the shop reveals that Scott was carrying a weapon, the prosecutors say. Scott then allegedly proceeded to smoke a marijuana cigarette and hold up a semi-automatic hand gun while in his car. He then exited the car and officers approached. At that point police deemed him a threat and Officer Vinson fired his weapon. Scott was pronounced dead later at a local hospital from gunshot wounds to his back and abdomen. Prosecutors say that Scott's DNA was found on a handgun at the scene. They say the gun was cocked, the safety catch was off and there were bullets in the chamber. Investigators also found a receipt for the purchase of ammunition in Scott's wallet. The Mauritian-based ship John Lethbridge is now sailing to Alexandria in Egypt. It will later return to the crash site to look for more bodies. The flight from Paris to Cairo crashed on 19 May, killing all 66 on board. The cause of the crash remains unknown. A statement by the Egyptian Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee said that the search vessel John Lethbridge "retrieved all the human remains that were mapped at the crash location". The vessel will return to the crash location after delivering the remains in Alexandria "to conduct a new thorough scan of the seabed and to search for any [more] human remains", the committee said. It said Egyptian and French forensic doctors on board the vessel oversaw the body recovery process. The remains are due to be examined by prosecutors and forensic specialists in Alexandria before going to Cairo for DNA analysis. The committee said on Saturday that the memory chips from the airliner's black box voice recorders are not damaged and investigators should be able to make use of them. The black box from EgyptAir flight MS804 confirmed smoke was on board, Egyptian investigators said last week. Automated electronic messages sent by the plane revealed that smoke detectors went off in a toilet and in the avionics area below the cockpit, minutes before the plane disappeared. The recorded data are consistent with those messages, investigators said. The voice and flight data recorders were recovered from a depth of about 3,000m (9,800ft) in the Mediterranean. The second black box, the cockpit recorder, is still being repaired in Paris. No explanation for the disaster has so far been dismissed, but experts are reported by the Reuters news agency to be tending towards the theory that the cause of the crash was a technical failure rather than sabotage. What do we know so far? Who were the victims? Pro-Hezbollah media portray it as revenge for what is assumed to be Israel's attack on Hezbollah and Iranian forces on the Golan Heights earlier this month, and promise further retaliation. Many Arab papers fear that Hezbollah is dragging the already-troubled region into another major conflict, and Israeli commentators debate the wisdom of their government's actions. Headlines in the London Arab newspapers express concern. Al-Arab al-Alamiyah complains that "Hezbollah is putting Lebanon in the circle of danger", and Saudi-owned Al-Sharq al-Awsat accuses the Shia militia of "opening a front in the Shebaa farms". Arab nationalist Al-Quds al-Arabi, which is often sympathetic to Hezbollah, also highlights the "escalation of tension" in Lebanon. In the Middle East, Saudi Al-Watan warns that "dragging Lebanon into a new war" would benefit only Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's March general election. Umar Hilmi al-Ghul echoes this in the Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat al-Jadida, saying Hezbollah's attack "will increase tension that Netanyahu will try to use to boost his flagging ratings". Alyas Bajani in Kuwait's Al-Siyassah reflects Sunni Arab apprehension at the growing influence of Hezbollah, denouncing it as a "terrorist and sectarian party occupying Lebanon", and accusing it and its Iranian mentors of being "enemies of peace, freedom, human rights and Lebanon". Other commentators disagree, saying Hezbollah and Iran have now "saved face" and will not escalate the conflict. Ali Hamadah in Lebanon's anti-Hezbollah Al-Nahar says Iran responded to the Israeli attack "in a very calculated, controlled manner... and, barring any surprises, the situation in southern Lebanon will not develop further". Urayb al-Rintawi in Jordan's Al-Dustur agrees that Hezbollah is satisfied with putting its Lebanese rivals and Israel in an "embarrassing position", and will stick to a response of "above zero, but below a new war". Pro-Hezbollah media are jubilant, with Lebanon's Al-Diyar hailing the "resistance heroes who raise Arab heads high". The Syrian official papers Al-Thawrah and Al-Watan echo this, saying a "subdued" Israel was reduced to a "state of panic". In Gaza, the Hamas website Filastin Online says both Hamas and its Islamic Jihad ally "bless Hezbollah's operation", prompting Iranian radio to imagine a "joint resistance front against the Zionist regime". Iran's state TV and hardline press dub the Hezbollah attacks a "stunning blitzkrieg", and claim that Israel is concealing a higher number of casualties from the public. Pro-reform newspapers in Iran are more cautious, relegating the story to their foreign pages. Sharq captions its report "Fear of war". The story dominates the front pages in Israel, with some commentators unsure of the government's overall strategy towards Hezbollah and Iran. Nahum Barnea in Yediot Aharonot questions the wisdom of attacking Iran over the Golan Heights ceasefire line in the first place. "Who did we deter, and who did we scare other than thousands of Israelis living in the north?" he asks, wondering whether it would be preferable to sit opposite Hezbollah "rather than mad organisations affiliated with al-Qaeda". Alex Fishman in the same paper fears that Israel is reversing its policy of staying out of post-Arab Spring conflicts, and complains that attacking Iran in broad daylight "simply forces the other side to respond, and destroys our own power to deter". Zvi Barel in liberal Haaretz agrees that attacking Iran and Hezbollah while leaving their Syrian rebel enemies alone was bound to make the Shia allies regard this as "intervention in their 'internal affairs' by granting the rebels Israeli backing". Yoav Limor in pro-government Yisrael Hayom says neither side wants escalation, but thinks it "doubtful that Hezbollah has been deterred from acting again". His stablemate Dan Margalit says Hezbollah's response has been "measured", and advises the government to resist electoral pressure to escalate the conflict: "If the choice is between deterrence and prestige and restoring the situation to what it used to be, it is right to choose calm on the northern border".

It follows a review sparked by concerns well-known businesses would be put off coming to the city by a presumption that licences would be refused. Since 2013, applicants have had to prove to Swansea council their proposal would not negatively impact the area. It came after a report said the city centre had reached "saturation point", particularly around Wind Street. A cumulative impact policy (CIP) was put in place focusing on the main drinking areas including Wind Street and Kingsway which made it harder to gain licences. Its aims were to prevent crime, disorder and areas becoming a public nuisance along with improving public safety and protecting children from harm. But a report to council said: "Concern has been expressed that due to the presumption that licences will be refused in the CIP area, reputable operators of well-run licensed premises, which potentially could have a positive effect on the area, will not be attracted to the city or could be prevented from obtaining a licence due to the process involved." Now changes have been proposed which allow theatres, cinemas, restaurants and premises where alcohol is supplied only from a waiter or waitress between 10:00 and 01:00 to be exempt from the CIP as well as non-alcohol led premises. But the move has raised some questions. SA Brain, which has pubs in the city centre, said it was not happy over the last two elements. It said non-alcohol led premises was "a very broad definition" and night clubs could argue they are exempt because dancing facilities are the main offering. The brewery also claimed modern drink-led premises could claim to be exempt as they offer a waiter and waitress service for their customers. It also opposed expanding the CIP area. The changes are due to be rubber-stamped by the council on Thursday. The clothing stolen from the Tiso store in Leith included brands such as North Face, Craghoppers, Berghaus, Jack Wolfskin and Sprayway, which are popular among hillwalkers and climbers. The break-in at the Commercial Street shop happened at 01:00 on Thursday. Police said they believe a car or van was used in the theft and they have appealed for witnesses. Det Insp Grant Johnston said: "We expect that a vehicle is likely to have been involved given the number of items stolen and we're keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of Commercial Street between 23:30 on Wednesday and 01:00 on Thursday and who saw any suspicious behaviour. "Likewise, if you're offered any items fitting this description, which are new but the owner cannot provide proof of purchase, please get in touch. "If you purchase stolen items, knowingly or otherwise, they can be returned to their rightful owner, meaning a financial loss for yourself." In his first speech since replacing Iain Duncan Smith, Mr Crabb defended the policy, which has been beset by delays, saying it would be "the spine that runs through the welfare system". Universal Credit brings together six work-age benefits into one payment. Labour said it risked being "stillborn" due to cuts to its budget. The opposition backs the principle of Universal Credit, which ministers say will simplify the welfare system and make work pay. Speaking at the Early Intervention Foundation conference in London, Mr Crabb said it could be the "most important public sector change project for decades" and would not "treat a person as a number". He attempted to counter criticism of the scheme, saying people on Universal Credit were spending more time looking for work, were more likely to be looking for work, and were earning more. Under the reforms, those receiving income-based jobseeker's allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, income support, child tax credit, working tax credit and housing benefit will receive a single monthly payment instead. In November 2011, Mr Duncan Smith said a million people would be on the benefit by April 2014 and all 7.7 million households would be on it by 2017. But it has faced repeated IT problems, delays and criticism from auditors. The Department for Work and Pensions said over 200,000 people were currently enrolled, with the latest target for a full roll-out of 2021. Mr Crabb said it would be available in every job centre this month, before the "ambitious full roll-out" for all first-time claimants. The former Welsh secretary replaced Mr Duncan Smith - who quit in protest at now-scrapped disability cuts - last month. He also pledged a "relentless focus on improving life chances" and said he would lead a "more coherent and collaborative government strategy" to tackle poverty. Mr Crabb's opposite number, Labour's Owen Smith, said Universal Credit was a "great idea" but warned of the impact of spending cuts, calling on the minister to carry out a "thorough review". "Unless he reverses the cuts in the work allowance and restores the work incentives it's going to leave millions of people worse off," he added. It is the biggest shock of the election so far which is the most competitive in the country's history. The BBC's Arnold Kayanda in the main city Dar es Salaam says it is a big blow to the governing CCM party. But it is too early to predict the end of its 54-year rule as there are many results still to be declared, he says. The electoral commission has until Thursday to announce the final results. Agriculture Minister Stephen Wasira - a veteran CCM politician of over three decades - is among the high-profile ministers who lost their seats in Sunday's election. Others include Investment Minister Christopher Chiza, Deputy Health Minister Stephen Kebwe and Deputy Education Minister Anna Kilango Malecela. Observers from the European Union have given a positive assessment of the polls. But they raised several concerns - including the apparent failure of state media to give fair and equitable coverage to the opposition in the build-up to the election. On the semi-autonomous archipelago of Zanzibar, the announcement of the election was temporarily suspended after soldiers stormed the collation centre, eventually evicting journalists and observers. The opposition Ukawa coalition on Zanzibar had already expressed concerns about the results announced so far. Residents on the islands also voted for their own president and members of the Zanzibar parliament on Sunday. At the scene: Sammy Awami, BBC Africa, Zanzibar About 70 armed soldiers invaded the compound of the electoral commission and locked journalists, local and international observers inside the main hall. Officials also stopped announcing results. The soldiers ordered all of us to stay where we were and when I tried to ask them why, they told me not to approach them or question them. After more than three hours, they allowed us to leave the electoral commission premises and told us not to come back until further notice. Electoral officials reconvened and decided to postpone any further announcements until Wednesday. CUF, one of four parties which make up Ukawa, accused the Zanzibar electoral commission of only releasing results from constituencies where the CMM candidate won. On Monday, Ukawa candidate Seif Sharif Hamad declared himself the winner of the Zanzibari presidential poll. Correspondents say tension has been rising on the islands ahead of the final results. Previous elections have turned violent on Zanzibar, which is made up of the islands of Unguja and Pemba and is a popular with tourists. Tanzania's tightly contested election: Could CCM lose? Money, power and politics The new body is called the National Football Association of Zimbabwe, president Phillip Chiyangwa said. He said the debt, which he blamed on the organization's previous leadership, will now be dealt with by a liquidator. "I can tell you now that we don't owe anybody anymore," Chiyangwa said. He added the process has been approved by Fifa and done with the "blessings" of football's world governing body. However, Fifa said it "has not received any communication on the outcome of Zifa's extraordinary congress on 4 June 2016 to decide on the possible dissolution of the association". Zimbabwe's federation had been in financial crisis for years because of a combination of mismanagement, alleged corruption, and the serious economic woes of the southern African nation. At one point Zifa had to sell off assets, including an artificial training field, to raise money to pay its debts. Zimbabwe was thrown out of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup by Fifa for failing, after numerous warnings, to pay a former coach wages it owed him. The federation's latest problems came as Zimbabwe qualified for the African Cup of Nations on Sunday for the first time in 10 years. One of the last acts of the old Zifa was to hand bans ranging from 10 years to life to a former national team assistant coach and two former federation officials for attempting to fix games. Former assistant coach Nation Dube Ian Gorowa and former executive committee member Edzai Kasinauyo were banned for 10 years. Henrietta Rushwaya, once the federation chief executive, received a life ban for the second time for involvement in the attempted fixing. Rushwaya was banned for life after a previous match-fixing scandal, but that sanction was overturned. The latest bans have not been ratified by Fifa. Ionut and Mirela Vasile stole items at shops in Manchester, Edinburgh, London, Nottingham and Milton Keynes. The most expensive item stolen was a £4,400 dress from Louis Vuitton in London. The pair of Westbury Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham admitted conspiracy to steal and were sentenced to three years in prison at Birmingham Crown Court. The "corrupt couple" had "perfected a tactic of distracting fitting room staff" as they hid clothes in changing rooms for accomplices to take later, West Midlands Police said. They used foil-lined bags to get the items through security detectors. The Vasiles first became known to police in Birmingham after they stole from the Michael Kors store in the Bullring shopping centre in January 2015. Police say inquiries at stores across the country led them to uncover CCTV footage that showed them pulling off their scam in Manchester, Edinburgh, London, Nottingham and Milton Keynes. More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country Mirela Vasile, 34, was arrested on 27 April 2015, with Ionut Vasile, 35, arrested on 11 December 2015. Tops from Alexander McQueen and Browns were found at the couple's home. Police examined the pair's mobile phones and found messages from potential buyers. A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said: "We found stolen clothes at their home that had been rebranded with a homemade price tag, the kind you might find at an independent shop, plus a price ticketing gun. "They were living in private accommodation with no obvious income so it appears their whole lifestyle was funded through shoplifting." Two hundred and seventy jobs are under threat at Tata Steel in Dalzell and Clydebridge. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the focus of the Scottish government remains "very firmly" on securing an alternative operator for the plants. Tata said 225 jobs would go at Dalzell in Motherwell and 45 posts at the Clydebridge plant in Cambuslang. Ms Sturgeon said at First Minister's Questions on Thursday that discussions between Tata and the Community union will continue. She said: "Tata Steel has confirmed that there are currently serious parties potentially interested in the plants. This is encouraging and we continue to do everything we can to assist that process. "There are no quick fixes here, there are certainly no easy fixes. But together with the workforce, the unions and with others we are working tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to keep these plants open." Her comments came in response to a question at Holyrood from Motherwell Labour MSP John Pentland, who asked if she agreed that there is the potential to create a centre of excellence for steel making in Scotland. Mr Pentland also called on the government to provide for the steelworkers in any transitional period towards that hub of expertise. Ms Sturgeon responded: "If there is any viable option that will secure the future of these plants then the government will explore taking that forward. "We do right now have serious parties that are expressing potential interest in the plants. I think it is therefore appropriate and therefore right that we concentrate on doing everything we can to see one of those expressions of interest turn into something real and viable, and that at the moment is where the Scottish government will continue to expend our energy." Business minister Fergus Ewing also said efforts to secure a new operator for the plants will continue. Mr Ewing stated a "extensive global search" had been carried out to find a new operator. Friday marks the end of the minimum statutory 45-day consultation period for workers at Tata. When it the job losses were announced in October, the Scottish government set up a Scottish Steel Task Force, bringing together key representatives across government and the industry to help keep Dalzell and Clydebridge open. Mr Ewing said: "The Scottish Steel Taskforce remains focused on finding an alternative operator for Dalzell and Clydebridge and keeping jobs where possible. It will meet again next week to review progress. "In a hugely challenging global steel market, we want to create the best business environment for any new operator taking on the sites. "The Lanarkshire assessor will take into account the state of the steel industry for the next business rates revaluation in April 2017, while we are open to options for reducing the rates liability complying with state aid rules. "We now know that energy costs at the sites could be cut significantly, while there is potential for renewable electricity generation and sale of heat from the plants." Mr Ewing said the Scottish government will continue to put pressure on the UK government to do all it can do, in particular putting pressure in turn on the European Commission. Bimlendra Jha, the executive chairman of Tata Steel's Longs Steel UK, said the firm will continue to work closely with affected employees and their trade unions. He said: "That work will, in this case, continue beyond the statutory 45-day minimum consultation period. "At the same time, Tata Steel is working closely with the Scottish government and is fully engaged in the taskforce process of finding an alternative solution for the Dalzell and Clydebridge mills." Steve McCool, national officer at steelworkers' union Community, added: "We will continue to talk to Tata Steel, the Scottish government and all interested parties in the interests of securing a future for the Dalzell and Clydebridge plants. "As we have said all along, all parties need to work together to ensure that the skills are retained and the assets are preserved to ensure that production has the chance to continue." In October, Tata said both Dalzell and Clydebridge would be mothballed, while a further 900 posts will go at Tata's facility in Scunthorpe. The firm blamed the cuts on a flood of cheap imports from China, a strong pound and high electricity costs. Tor Farquhar, human resources director of Tata Europe, told reporters outside the Dalzell plant at the time that it would be "extremely difficult" to find a new buyer. The decision to close the two Tata plants in Scotland effectively ends production at the country's last two major steelworks. The Dalzell Steel and Iron Works opened in 1872, and Clydebridge in 1887. The Big Butterfly Count - an annual survey by thousands of volunteers - recorded an average 12.2 per count, compared with a 2013 high of 23. Numbers were even lower than a previous slump in the wet summer of 2012, despite far warmer weather. Butterfly Conservation, which organised the count, said the cause was still a mystery. The count involved more than 36,000 people who recorded more than 390,000 butterflies. The survey has been running since 2010 but the group uses nationwide figures which go back to the 1970s. Butterfly Conservation's head of recording Richard Fox said: "The overall trend has been a decline but we expect annual variations based on the weather. "But the fall this year has been shocking and disappointing as the summer weather has been good, and we don't know why. "The most extreme thing was the exceptionally mild winter but it is debated if that is a good or bad thing for butterflies." The picture is not even across all species however, with some doing well and others being hit hard. Red admiral was up by 70% and the green-veined white by 58%. The worst hit species was the common blue, down by 55%, with five other types dropping by 40% or more. Mr Fox added: "Butterfly numbers are under pressure from industrialised farming and the concern is that a bad year will do lasting damage. "With some rarer species we are already at the point that colonies could be wiped out and not having the numbers to come back." Tim Sexton, from Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire, said his experience reflected this picture. "Some populations have dropped dangerously low and we might even risk local extinctions. "The thing we have noticed is that it seems like the species which migrate, like the red admiral, have done well but those which wintered here have suffered." The submarine was training with the navy 34 miles (55km) off The Lizard on Tuesday. It was below the surface when it became entangled in the nets of Daytona, a trawler registered to Saint-Brieuc, north west France. There were no casualties and both vessels were safe, the navy said. More on the incident, plus more Devon and Cornwall news "The submarine immediately surfaced and made contact with the trawler," French maritime authorities said in a statement. Falmouth Coastguards and the Maritime Accident Investigation Branch were made aware. In 2004, five crew died when the French trawler Bugaled Breizh sank off The Lizard. The families of the victims claim the trawler was dragged underwater by a submarine involved in an international military exercise, but courts ruled there is no supporting evidence. The Moroccans, led by former Real Madrid boss John Toshack, scored late in DR Congo to earn a second-leg 1-1 draw. Meanwhile the tie between Enyimba and Etoile du Sahel went to penalties, with the Nigerian side going through. ASEC Mimosas, AS Vita Club and Al Ahly are the other teams through to the group stages after Wednesday's action. Mazembe had taken the lead in their match against Wydad after 28 minutes as Mali defender Salif Coulibaly headed home a corner from Ghana's Solomon Asante. But Wydad's Reda Hajhouj equalised in injury time, to give the visitors a comfortable aggregate margin. Mazembe now drop down to the Confederation Cup play-offs, the draw for which is on Thursday. Eight-times record African champions Al Ahly of Egypt left it late before progressing to the group phase with a dramatic win against Tanzania's Young Africans. The tie was delicately poised going into the second leg in Alexandria after the teams had drawn 1-1 in Dar es Salaam. Ahly, managed by former Tottenham boss Martin Jol, took the lead in the 51st minute through Hossam Ghaly. But the impressive Tanzanians hit back with an equaliser from Donald Ngoma 16 minutes later. With the fixture heading towards extra-time, Ahly secured their place in the next stage of the competition with a winner from El-Said deep into stoppage time. It was even tighter in the late match between Nigeria's Enyimba and hosts Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia. Enyimba had a 3-0 lead from the first leg but that disappeared as Etoile scored through Hamza Lahmar in the first half, followed by two goals in the second half from Diogo Acosta. Etoile took a 2-0 lead in the shoot-out but Enyimba came back to win it 4-2 and progress. Etoile, who won the Confederation Cup last year, will now have the chance to hold on to that crown. Elsewhere, Ivorians ASEC Mimosas lost their second leg to Libya's Al Ahly Tripoli 2-1 on Wednesday, but advanced 3-2 on aggregate. The match was played in Tunis on security grounds. In Pretoria, AS Vita Club of the Democratic Republic of Congo went through on the away goals rule, after losing the second leg against South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Vita Club increased their advantage when Kule Mbombo scored a precious away goal after 38 minutes to make it 2-0 overall. The South African side fought back, first from the penalty spot when Nthethe scored just before half-time, and then through a Langerman strike 15 minutes from time. That made it 2-2 on aggregate, but it was not enough for the South Africans with Vita Club squeezing through. The draw for the group stage will be held on 24 May in Cairo, Egypt. If accidentally swallowed, the small, round batteries can get lodged in the oesophagus and burn a hole through its lining. London's Great Ormond Street Hospital has seen a big increase in cases in the past year. Surgeon Kate Cross said: "Button batteries should be treated like poison and kept out of reach of children." Three-year-old Valeria, from Northern Ireland, has been left with permanent damage to her throat after she swallowed a watch battery in April 2015. The battery became stuck in her food pipe and she began being sick and refusing food. It was not until five days later that an X-ray showed she had swallowed a battery, by which time it had burned a hole through her oesophagus and windpipe. Since then she has spent nine months at Great Ormond Street Hospital receiving specialist treatment and still needs to visit every few weeks. Valeria has undergone dozens of surgical procedures, including having part of her oesophagus removed. Her mother Jelena said: "Because she now can't eat or drink properly, the doctors have made a hole in her neck and attached a bag so that all her saliva and anything she drinks goes straight in to it. "Without this, water would go in to her lungs, which would be very dangerous. She also has a special button on her tummy that that liquid food goes through. "In many ways Valeria is now a normal three-year-old who likes Play-Doh and playing doctors, but she still needs a lot more operations to help her recover." Doctors are planning to put a metal support, called a stent, into what is left of her oesophagus and they may eventually lift her stomach into her chest to create a new food pipe. Great Ormond Street Hospital says a decade ago they rarely treated button battery injuries, but there has been a dramatic rise recently, and now are seeing about one child a month. Kate Cross, consultant neonatal and paediatric surgeon said: "If the battery gets enveloped in the mucosa of the oesophagus it creates an electrical circuit and the battery starts to function, releasing an alkali which is like caustic soda, which can erode through the wall to the windpipe. "If the battery is facing a different way it can burn into the aorta, a major blood vessel, and there have been cases in Britain where the child has bled to death. "That is why it is important to get the message out to parents but also other health professionals because this is a time critical problem." Catharina Santos, aged 18 months, swallowed a button battery that she removed from some bathroom scales at her home in Surrey. Her mother Jessika said: "I saw Catharina playing with the scales and a moment later realised she had removed the battery cover - I took her to hospital straight away." Doctors removed the battery about three hours after it had been swallowed, but it had already burned through to her windpipe. Catharina is being tube fed, and will need complex surgery to try to repair the damage. Jessika said "My message to other parents is to make sure they keep any of these batteries, or the items which contain them, far away from children." Children's hospitals in Birmingham, Sheffield and Manchester are also trying to raise awareness of the potential dangers after a steady stream of cases. Ray Clarke, consultant surgeon at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool said: "We have also had a few cases of children putting them into the nose with nasty consequences, including perforation of the nasal septum (a hole in the partition between the nostrils) or putting them into their ear causing serious inflammation." Katrina Phillips, Chief Executive of the Child Accident Prevention Trust, said: "Button batteries are everywhere in our homes, in many products that appeal to children. "But very few parents know about the danger they pose, especially those containing lithium. "We want to join forces with the battery industry to raise awareness and help keep children safe." In 2014, engineers in the US produced button batteries with a special coating which conducts electricity only when squeezed, such as when it is in a spring-loaded compartment. However, the technology has yet to be incorporated by manufacturers. The British and Irish Portable Battery Association (BIPBA) said it was investigating such designs. BIPBA said it "takes the safety of consumers very seriously", adding that warning notices are placed on batteries and packaging is child resistant. Sainsbury's, which has been running the promotion since 2011, will end it in three weeks' time. It says it will use the money saved to cut prices on basics. Increasingly shoppers buy little and often, which means fewer baskets contain the 10 items needed to qualify for Brand Match. Earlier on Thursday, the Co-op credited the "little and often" method for its growing sales. The Co-op has 2,800 stores, more than double that of Sainsbury's. This is the second change in promotional strategy from Sainsbury's this year. Earlier this year, it announced it would stop multi-buy deals, saying customers found these caused "logistical challenges at home in terms of storage and waste". Sainsbury's is following a trend among its rivals, who are all facing fierce competition from the fast-growing discounters, Aldi and Lidl. Morrisons last year stopped the price-matching element of its loyalty card scheme and Asda has made changes to its scheme. Research also shows that a plethora of special offers and promotions leave shoppers confused. Storms Desmond, Eva, Frank and Gertrude all caused major issues in the area, as did poor weather on 27 January. A report to councillors said nearly 400 repair jobs eligible for support under the Bellwin Scheme had been identified. Their cost is likely to exceed £3.5m. Scottish Borders Council is bidding for a further £925,000 from another scheme. The Scottish Borders was hit by heavy rainfalls throughout the winter with Hawick, Jedburgh, Newcastleton and Peebles badly affected. A lengthy list of repairs has been drawn up across the region and many of them have already been carried out. Most of them should be funded by the Scottish government via the Bellwin Scheme. However, SBC will need to fund the first £508,000 of works. The local authority also hopes to get further capital funding from a separate government-backed compensation scheme. It would be used to replace the Bowanhill Bridge near Teviothead and Newmill footbridge north of Jedburgh, and carry out embankment works on the Ettrick Water in Selkirk. The referendum certainly didn't end tensions and divisions and there will be many more arguments over the next two years. But one of the most striking things about yesterday's debate on the bill which would pull the UK out of the European Union, was how good tempered it was. Perhaps the tone was established early on by those two veterans of the European argument, Kenneth Clarke and Sir Bill Cash? During his speech, Ken Clarke insisted he was on good terms with the people he dubbed "the hard-line Euro-sceptics" because he respected their sincerity. And he joked that "hot tongs" wouldn't make Sir Bill Cash vote for membership of the EU. Sir Bill returned the compliment. He paid tribute to Mr Clarke and declared: "I respect him and the way in which we have battled over these matters over all these years." Who'd have thought we'd see such a public display of clubbable chumminess from two veterans of the bitter Maastricht rebellions? James Bell, of Ramsgate, Kent, and George Bathmaker, of Mitcham, south London, both aged 79, died within three months of each other in 2013. Dr Shirley Radcliffe recorded a verdict of accidental death after a joint inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court. West Yorkshire company Acorn Stairlifts has accepted responsibility. "Investigations revealed there had been a catastrophic failure of a welding joint between the tubular seat post and the attachment plate," Dr Radcliffe said. She said it had occurred as a result of "inadequate welding at the time of manufacture". The inquest heard Mr Bell sustained head and chest injuries and Mr Bathmaker suffered a spinal injury and cardiac arrest after their stairlifts snapped and they fell downstairs. Both men had been using Acorn Superglide 120 models. Acorn's lawyer Gary Lewis told the inquest a dealer had contacted the company about a month after Mr Bell died at his home in July 2013, saying the Kent coroner had been informed. Despite enquiring twice about Mr Bell's death the company did not get a reply until the end of September as the coroner was on holiday. By the time of the reply on 30 September Mr Bathmaker had also died. The company, based in Steeton, said it was "distraught and shocked" on realising there may have been a link between the deaths. Group compliance manager William Waddell said the news of a second death prompted a major recall. A total of 43,556 stairlifts were sold directly by Acorn, with a further 14,054 sold through dealers. "Everyone now has been contacted in some way," said Mr Waddell. "We have exhausted every avenue to try and find the stairlifts." Caroline Killbride, of West Yorkshire Trading Standards, said the firm's rectification programme was appropriate in line with its obligations and that it had sufficient recall procedures. After the inquest Mr Bell's daughters Diane Lee and Sonia Dutton said they wanted justice for their father and to prevent anything like his death happening again. "It's appalling," said Ms Lee. "The stairlift was put in to prevent an accident happening and it proved to be the death of him." Mr Bathmaker's son Daniel said not enough had been done after the death of Mr Bell. "My family would like to say that whilst we accept the coroner's verdict of death by accident we do not accept that every effort was made by Kent Constabulary, Kent Coroner's Office and Acorn at the time of Mr Bell's death that could have prevented the death of my father." The 19-year-old, from the St Paul's club in Belfast, beat Germany's Hamza Touba on a unanimous decision to move into the flyweight quarter-finals. Irvine needs to come in the top three in Istanbul to be assured of a spot on the Ireland boxing team for Rio. Olympic champion Katie Taylor had an easy win over Martina Schmaranzova of the Czech Republic at the qualifiers. She will now face Yvonne Rasmussen of Denmark in the quarter-finals of the lightweight division on Wednesday. Cork's Christina Desmond beat top seed Nouchka Fontijan of the Netherlands at middleweight, while Ceire Smith saw off Hungary's Virginia Barankas in the flyweight division. Wexford's Dean Walsh suffered a split decision defeat by top seeded light-welterweight Lorenzo Sotomayor of Azerbaijan while Clonmel super-heavyweight Dean Gardiner was outpointed by Mahammadrausl Majidor, also from Azerbaijan. At least six people have died in the fires, which have burned more than 1,900 hectares (4,700 acres) of forest, officials said. The fires broke out a month ago, but intensified in recent days with more than 400 burning simultaneously. They have not yet hit Himalayan tourist towns, but villagers say that smoke has affected air quality and visibility. Officials say fires have been widespread this year because the forest is exceptionally dry due to low rainfall. "This can be compared with the worst fire of 2012," said Environment and Forests Minister Prakash Javadekar. The Indian air force has used helicopters to help douse the flames, although low visibility caused by smoke has limited their deployment, local media reported. But the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF), which is co-ordinating the fire-fighting effort, reports that satellite imagery indicates that 70% of the flames have been put out. The director general of the agency, OP Singh, told the PTI news agency that they have managed to bring down the number of fires from 427 to 110-115 locations.

The Indians risking their lives for water The fires come as India suffers one of its worst droughts in years. The government says 330 million are now affected by water shortages. It comes as part of efforts to target women aged 31 to 44 in a campaign to change attitudes about alcohol. Last year the Scottish government urged drinkers to take smaller glass sizes, to promote health and limit ageing. It has now updated its "drinking mirror" app to show how cutting back could improve your looks over 10 years. Official estimates suggest one in every 30 deaths among women is alcohol-related. Figures from the Scottish Health Survey also indicate more than one in three regularly drink more than is good for their health - the recommended weekly guideline of 14 units for women. Health Secretary Alex Neil told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Over the past 20 years or so there has been a doubling in the number of deaths of women aged 31 to 44 as a result of over-consumption of alcohol and there's been a trebling of the incidence of cirrhosis and liver disease as well."

The 32-year-old former Warwickshire seamer's last first-team appearance for the Hove side came in June 2014. The right-armer took 199 wickets at an average of 32.38 in 63 first-class appearances for Sussex. "It's been a frustrating 18 months. On the advice of the club's medical staff, I have decided not to pursue my first-class cricketing career," he said. Anyon joined Sussex ahead of the 2010 campaign and became a consistent performer for their Championship side. He took 55 first-class wickets at an average of 32.45 in 2011 and a further 50 at 28.64 in 2013. Anyon also made 1,086 first-class runs during his spell with Sussex. "I'm very fortunate to have played my best cricket at Sussex," he added. "I'd like to make a special thank you to the medical staff and the Professional Cricketers' Association for all their help over the past 12 months. I wish the club success going forward."

Sussex bowler James Anyon has announced his retirement after failing to recover from a knee injury.

Lord Uxbridge, whose family seat was at Beaudesert, lost his right leg when it was hit by a cannot shot, remarking to the Duke of Wellington: "By God, sir, I've lost my leg." The letters were uncovered by Staffordshire County Council. They are due to go on display. The council said Lord Uxbridge was standing near the Duke of Wellington when he was hit in one of the last cannon shots of the battle. In a famous exchange, he said to the duke: "By God, sir, I've lost my leg", to which Wellington is reputed to have replied "By God, sir, so you have". Letters, eye-witness accounts, a charter praising Uxbridge's bravery and sufferings, a map of Napoleon's grave and a diary reporting the battle from the homefront are among the documents discovered by the council's archive team. They also found an address from people in Burton-upon-Trent, sent to Lord Uxbridge, commending him on his bravery and a letter of response from him to similar praise from the people of Colwich. Councillor Ben Adams said: "It's a fascinating collection of records that offers a valuable insight into the bloody but decisive battle." The exhibition, which marks the 200th anniversary of the battle, will be touring Staffordshire libraries until October 2015. The deal for the 29-year-old is effective immediately. However, the Super League club are in the process of applying for a visa and say they "anticipate his arrival in the UK in a few weeks' time". Nuuausala was in the New Zealand side which lost to Australia in the 2013 World Cup final. "I've achieved everything that I can in my career in the NRL, and, whilst still in my prime, want to experience the challenge of Super League," Nuuausala told the club website. Warriors coach Shaun Wane added: "Frank-Paul is exactly the kind of player we want at Wigan. He's a very tough player who really throws himself into the action and is used to winning." Speaking at the BFI London Film Festival's Black Star Symposium, the Selma star issued a plea for a more diverse industry. His comments came as British Film Institute research revealed that 59% of UK films in the last decade had no black actors in any role. It also found that 13% of UK films had a black actor in a leading role. Oyelowo, whose latest film A United Kingdom opened the BFI London Film Festival this week, said the only way to achieve diversity in the UK film industry was if the "demographics of the decision makers changes". He said: "The odd token thrown, the odd bone given is not going to do it. "Don't pat yourself on the back because you made that black drama. Bully for you. That's not diversity. It's got to be baked into the foundation of where the ideas flow from." Oyelowo, who now lives in Los Angeles, spoke of acting friends who had visited him from the UK. "We have sat there together, we have prayed together, we have scratched our heads together, we have felt displaced together, we have felt abandoned together," he said. "They are still here. I felt I had to leave. "Please stop this talent drain. You have to change the demographics of the people who are making these decisions. "You are the curators of culture. You are those who are going to shape the minds of those coming up. "If I'd seen a film like A United Kingdom when I was leaving drama school, I don't think I would be living in America now." Oyelowo's words were echoed by British actor David Harewood, who also moved to the US to seek better opportunities. "It's something we've talked about for many years," the Homeland star told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "The [BFI] data is proving the fears that many of us had that there are structural problems within the industry that are preventing us from displaying aspiration black characters. "A whole swathe of black life is not being catered for so we have to go - as I am now - abroad to find roles where we can play authoritative characters." Speaking at the premiere of her new movie Moonlight at the London Film Festival, British actress Naomie Harris also said she had to go to the US to further her career. "I definitely think that for my career to have continued I definitely had to go to America and I'm really glad that I did, there is just a lot more material," she said. "But I live here, I never left London and I'm able to work here as well as there and I couldn't ask for more." Harris, who plays Moneypenny in the James Bond films, added that she was not surprised by the BFI research. She said: "It's not surprising because that's what we see, we see a lack of diversity. But what I think is really positive is that is changing and I think this year in particular shows that." The BFI London Film Festival runs until 16 October.

The public event at RAF Feltwell would have featured a display from the Red Arrows. Col Robert Novotny, commander of the 48th Fighter Wing, said the two-day event had been cancelled "out of prudence... to make sure that our folks were safe." He denied the decision played into the hands of "terrorists". "We cancelled our picnic - we haven't cancelled a single combat sortie," he said. "We haven't taken our foot off the throat of the enemy - none of that has changed. "So if the terrorists consider us cancelling a picnic as a victory, I think they should readdress their calculus." In 2013, the event was cancelled due to budget cuts. This weekend's event was due to be hosted by US crew based at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall. It was cancelled a week after a gunman killed 38 people, including 30 Britons, in Tunisia. Asked whether the cancellation related to the massacre, Col Novotny said: "There are some things which I can't share right now. "They are not enough to significantly alter the way we do business, other than deciding having military personal from both the US Air Force and RAF is probably not the best thing to do this year. "What we learned over the last 48 hours... gave us a great pause as to whether we wanted to have a large mass gathering on a military base. "We decided out of prudence that we would cancel the event this year as far as to make sure that our folks were safe." He said it was hoped the Red Arrows would return for a future display. The Lincolnshire-based team said on Twitter: "We're sorry to say tomorrow's display and event has been cancelled by organisers." Mr Manaure said on Twitter that reports the boy had died were false, adding that "God will allow him to soon". He gave no further details on the kidnapping. Derek's age has not been revealed. Local media first reported the kidnapping at the end of December but Mr Manaure only addressed the reports directly on Tuesday. He wrote: "I await with much anxiety and hope the return of my son Derek 'safe and sound'. Son, here I am waiting for you. May God protect you and bless you. And in another tweet: "Talk of the death of my son Derek is only a rumour. God will allow him to soon return to his family. I trust in you, God." There has been no official statement on the kidnapping and it is not clear if Mr Manaure has reported it to the police or if a ransom demand has been made. Mr Manaure, who plays for Cangrejeros de Monagas in Venezuela's national basketball league, first hinted on 30 December on Twitter that something had happened to his son. He wrote: "I put my son in the hands of God, hoping that he will soon be at my side because I believe that God will protect you and protect you from all evil." Following reports that his son had died and subsequent messages of condolences from former and current teammates, Mr Manaure tweeted again on Tuesday. Mr Manaure is a native of Caracas. He recently bagan a career outside of basketball as a reggaeton singer. Venezuelan sports stars have been targeted by kidnappers in the past. In 2011, Venezuelan-born US Major League baseball player Wilson Ramos was kidnapped by armed men in the city of Valencia. He was rescued two days later by the security forces. There are no official statistics about the overall number of kidnappings in the country, but a study based on anecdotal evidence and perceptions of security among Venezuelans suggests a steep rise in the first half of 2016 as Venezuela's economic crisis deepened. According to the study, by the Institute of Criminal Science and Criminology at the University of Santa Maria in Caracas, almost all kidnappings go unreported and most of them end in fewer than 24 hours, after a ransom is paid. The Belfast-based business agreed to sell its television stations and brand to ITV for £100m in October. That will leave UTV as a radio-focused business, which will change its name as part of the deal. ITV has said it will retain the UTV name rather than rebrand the TV business as ITV Northern Ireland. Documents published by UTV on Friday show that its former chairman, John B McGuckian, still owns more than 7% of the business. About 3% is held personally with the remainder held by the McGuckian family's Milestone Trust. Mr McGuckian was ousted from the UTV board in 2012. The documents also contain details of a transitional arrangement between UTV and ITV. That will allow the UTV radio business to remain in the Havelock House building in Belfast for up to a year, for a fee of £37,500 a month. The TV newsroom will also continue to provide news to the U105 radio station for a fee of £11,000 a month. It's been running since the 1970s, but is, like transport in many places around the world, struggling a bit under the pressure of a booming population and ageing infrastructure. And so, right now they're busy upgrading various parts of the network, and making adjustments to trains so more people can get on during rush hour. But there's a problem - some of the components that need replacing are obsolete. And so Bart engineers are searching on eBay to pick up what they need. eBay! "It's like buying a computer in 1980 and trying to keep it alive today," Bart worker Richard Severo told NBC Bay Area. "You go back and say… can you repair this? And they are going to look at you and say: this thing belongs in a museum." Frustrating, sure, but surprising? Probably not. Bart is 43 years old. It's no wonder aspects of it are no longer being made. But how soon is too soon when it comes to technology being made obsolete? Consider that question and apply it to the recent news that Nest - the Google-owned smart thermostat company - is giving up on its Revolv product. Revolv is a little device that you can use to control other smart devices in your home, like light bulbs or entertainment equipment. There's a clever back-end that means you can control and monitor your home using an app, wherever you are. It's part of the connected home future companies have been trying to get the public excited about for a few years now. One person excited by that possibility was Arlo Gilbert - chief executive of health app specialists Televero - who has Revolv set up in his home. He calls controlling all of his devices like conducting a "beautiful orchestra of home technology". The orchestra will stop playing on 15 May when Nest switches the Revolv system off. To be clear - that doesn't just mean it will no longer be updated. It means it'll stop functioning altogether. Cease to be. An ex-hub. "My house will stop working," wrote Mr Gilbert. "My landscape lighting will stop turning on and off, my security lights will stop reacting to motion, and my home-made vacation burglar deterrent will stop working. This is a conscious, intentional decision by Google/Nest." Unlike the scarce parts needed by the poor folk trying to maintain the Bart service, Mr Gilbert isn't dealing with old, niche hardware. Revolv was being sold up until September 2014. Is that acceptable? Should Google be allowed to make a decision like that, rendering a $300 (£213) product useless because it doesn't see any lucrative potential for it? Writing in Wired magazine, Klint Finley described the move as proof that the so-called "Internet of Things" cannot be trusted. "We generally expect our old gadgets to still be useful as hand-me-downs or backup devices. We don't expect to have to send them off to landfills just because the company we bought them from decided to stop supporting them," he wrote. "Until that changes, the Internet of Things will remain a dream." Nest sees it this way. "Revolv was a great first step toward the connected home," it said in a statement. "But we believe that Works with Nest is a better solution and are allocating resources toward that program. "Third-party developers interested in building integrations with Nest products can do this by building on Nest's open APIs, available through the Works with Nest developer program." It has urged Revolv customers to contact Nest to discuss options, including compensation. We don't know yet if that compensation will be a full refund. But it's the inconvenience highlighted by Arlo Gilbert that makes the move, and the manner in which it has happened, more frustrating. Getting a new smartphone is a relatively simple, even enjoyable, process - you pick up your new one, import what you need from the old one, and off you go. New phone! But will you want to do the same with smart appliances? I can't see anyone is eagerly counting down the days until the latest model of their smart fridge is released. So, unlike most consumer tech, where we have a desire to have the latest version, we'll only look to replace internet-of-things devices when they stop working altogether through old age. Not, surely, when the company that makes it decides it wants to stop looking after it. So, what's the alternative? We can't force Google or indeed any company to promise to look after (failing) products until the end of time just to keep people like Mr Gilbert happy. But nor should consumers lose out when a company loses interest. Some have suggested Nest should make the Revolv platform open source. Open up the back-end to allow some other company, or team of volunteers even, to take up the reins and keep Revolv going for those who need it. Or perhaps companies selling connected home devices should make a public commitment about future support. Not just a typical warranty, but a declaration that the device you're spending lots of money on will not be forcibly disabled by the manufacturer within, say, five years. Failing all that, how about making devices that don't become utterly useless if the cloud service powering them is shut down? But then maybe, as Mr Gilbert also suggests, we need to look differently at what "ownership" means. If Google can decide to kill off a device in your home, was it ever really yours? Perhaps these devices should be rented rather than bought, and the costs adjusted accordingly. From the sounds of it, Nest is facing a lot of problems behind the scenes. What it didn't need was consumer anger on top. Revolv wasn't a huge product. That's why Nest binned it. But it's the principle that irks Mr Gilbert and others. Maybe think of it like this - isn't there enough e-waste in the world without Google intentionally creating more? Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC or on Facebook Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A and B would be built 77 miles (125km) off the Yorkshire coast. Forwind Ltd said it would consist of 400 wind turbines producing up to 2,400 MW of electricity, enough to power nearly two million homes. Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said the development had the potential to support hundreds of jobs. Mr Davey said: "Making the most of Britain's home grown energy is creating jobs and businesses in the UK, getting the best deal for consumers and reducing our reliance on foreign imports. "Wind power is vital to this plan, with £14.5bn invested since 2010 into an industry which supports 35,400 jobs." Forewind said it believed the project could generate between 4,000 and 5,000 direct and indirect jobs. The offshore farm would connect into the national grid at an existing substation at Creyke Beck, near Cottingham, East Yorkshire, the developers said. The company has already spent £60m on initial surveys and planning.

Smith is a possible opponent for Alvarez's next fight, expected to be in Las Vegas in September. "Every time anyone mentions Canelo and Vegas to me, it gives me goose bumps," Smith added. WBC middleweight champion Alvarez is regarded as one of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, and defended his title against Britain's Amir Khan last month. On the undercard at the Echo Arena, Liverpool's Tom Stalker became the new WBO European lightweight champion after unanimously outpointing Antonio Joao Bento of Portugal. However, Liverpool's Ryan Farrag lost his EBU European bantamweight title after being knocked out in the third round by Karim Guerfi of France. South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrat Sebastian Kindersley's campaign leaflet said his party had "tightened up English langusge tests". "I hold my hand up, it's a mistake," Mr Kindersley said. "On the upside it will give people hours of fun looking for errors in the next leaflet." He described the error as ironic, but it had been a mistake "and they happen". "It's been pointed out and I apologise if I've upset anyone," he continued. "Various people" had been involved in putting together his election leaflet, but he said the mistakes "are mine and I take full responsibility". "When the next ones come out people can entertain themselves looking for more dastardly errors," Mr Kindersley added. His leaflet also mentioned the Lib Dems' work to increase free childcare for "disadvataged 2 year olds" rather than "disadvantaged" children. "I hadn't noticed that one," Mr Kindersley said. "I'm considering keeping the typos as a talking point." Up to 15,000 of the erroneous leaflets were printed. Rebels fired rocket launchers on an army post in Hakkari province just after midnight, NTV in Turkey said. Military jets are pursuing them and bombing their escape routes, NTV said. The interior minister says at least 115 rebels have been killed in a large-scale military offensive in the area in the last two weeks. Idris Naim Sahin said the offensive close to Semdinli town - also in Hakkari province - was ongoing and that troops were taking steps to prevent rebels fleeing into northern Iraq. The offensive is one of the biggest in years, with NTV reporting that about 2,000 troops are involved. Several thousand Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels are believed to be based in hideouts in northern Iraq. According to the governor for Hakkari province, Orhan Alimoglu, six soldiers, two village guards and 11 Kurdish rebels were killed in the attack near the village of Gecimili. He said 15 soldiers were injured in the incident. The number of clashes between the PKK and the Turkish armed forces has risen in south-east Turkey over the past year. A series of clashes in June left dozens dead. The PKK is classified as a terrorist organisation by the EU and the US. It launched a guerrilla campaign in 1984 for an ethnic homeland in the Kurdish heartland in the south-east of Turkey. It has now dropped its claim to an independent Kurdish state, but says it is fighting for autonomy and the cultural rights of the Kurdish people. Andrew Wommack, who has said publicly gay people are "not normal", is due to appear at God TV's Summer Celebration, in Plymouth. The city council said it had "received verbal and written assurances" that its equality standards would be upheld. Pride in Plymouth said it was a "real backward step". Director of the organisation, Jo Lewis, said: "The council has made a mistake and haven't given it the thought they should have done." She added it was unacceptable to allow Mr Wommack to "publicly preach discrimination towards LGBT people", "in a publicly-funded building". Mr Wommack, from Texas, will be carrying out three evening services in the Guildhall. Organisers God TV has described the event as "not-to-be-missed empowering teaching". On his website, Mr Wommack claims "homosexuality is wrong from a moral and social point of view" and "their lifestyle is not only destructive to themselves but also to society". Plymouth City Council said the organisers "have provided verbal and written assurances that their event will comply fully with our equalities policy, which is one of the booking conditions". Plymouth Humanists have also started a social media campaign urging God TV to disown some of Mr Wommack's views. Chairman, Ben Kerr, said Mr Wommack's "attitude to gay people threatens to undermine the good work that is going on in Plymouth to counter homophobic attitudes". God TV said the event's primary message was "love and compassion" and it accepts "the need to exercise freedom of speech responsibly and lawfully". Pride in Plymouth said it would not be staging an official protest but expected "the council to take legal action if hate speech was spouted". Ex-Arsenal trainee Ferrier rejected a new contract with the Wood, meaning his transfer fee will be set by a tribunal. The 22-year-old was Boreham Wood's leading goalscorer last season, with 11 goals in 30 National League games. Ferrier is the second Wood player to join Dagenham this summer, following the arrival of defender Ben Nunn. Alexander Mackay's case was described by a sheriff as "one of the worst management failures I've ever seen". Dundee Sheriff Court heard the G&D Pallets saw room in Dundee was in an "appalling state" when Michael Rice was injured. Mackay, 65, will be sentenced on 2 May. The court was told surgeons were only able to reattach one of Mr Rice's fingers, leaving him permanently disfigured and impaired. Depute fiscal Shona McJannett told the court that the incident took place while Mr Rice was sawing wood at the company's warehouse. Miss McJannett said Mr Rice was employed as a casual worker in 2010 and given "basic training". He was then taken on again on a casual basis in 2011 and given no refresher training. The prosecutor said: "At the time the premises were very busy and they were struggling for space in the saw room. "There were pallets partially blocking one door, completely blocking the second door and stacked up throughout the room and around the saw. Miss McJannett said Mr Rice was working alone in the saw room at the time of the incident. Mr Rice had turned and tripped over a broken pallet that was lying near the saw bench where he was working. The fiscal said: "As he fell, he held out his hands and his right hand came into contact with the running blade of the saw. "The emergency stop button was damaged and didn't work, which Mr Watson said he was unaware of but other employees had known for some time." Mackay, of Blairgowrie, admitted a charge under the Health and Safety at Work Act committed in December 2011. Sheriff Alastair Brown said: "This is one of the worst management failures I've ever seen. "The workplace was in an appalling state and resulted in significant injury to someone who was vulnerable. "That being so there is a very serious possibility of a prison sentence being imposed." Mrs McAreavey, 27, daughter of Tyrone Gaelic football boss Mickey Harte, was found murdered in her honeymoon hotel room on the island on Monday. Three men have been charged in connection with her killing. Avinash Treebhoowoon, 29, has confessed to the murder. The confession followed the revelation that a lawyer for another man, Raj Theekoy, who is charged with conspiracy to murder, said his client had spoken to police and implicated the other two men. Sandip Moneea, 41, and Mr Treebhoowoon appeared in court on Wednesday accused of her murder. All three were remanded in police custody for a week and will return to court next Wednesday, when they are expected either to be formally charged or released. BBC Northern Ireland reporter, Mervyn Jess, who is in Mauritius, outlined the latest developments on Thursday. "There was a reconstruction held today at the actual location of the crime at the Legends Hotel," he said. "In the reconstruction the suspects outlined what they said happened, notes were recorded by the police and photographs were taken. It lasted about one and a half hours. Journalists were prevented from attending the reconstruction by the hotel management. "Now that the police have the confession there will be a pooling together of all the evidence which will then be put to the director of public prosecutions. "The DPP will then decide whether or not the two men charged with murder will face those charges in court or whether they will face a lesser charge. If they are found guilty of murder they face up to 45 years in jail. If they are instead found guilty of manslaughter they face up to 18 years in jail. "I spoke today to the officer in charge of the investigation and he outlined quite graphically what the suspect said to him. "It was a robbery gone wrong. Two men had gained entry to the McAreavey's room while they were out. They had been in the apartment earlier doing their jobs - they were room attendants, so they would be in the apartment cleaning and making the bed and so on. "They had noticed a fair amount of money in the room either in a purse or in a wallet. And they obviously returned to see if that money was still there while the couple were out. "They were then in the process of stealing the money when Michaela came back to the apartment unexpectedly to get a biscuit to have with a cup of tea. "She discovered these men stealing money, then obviously there was an altercation, she was pushed to the ground and held down, she was screaming, there was a bit of a struggle. "Then one of the men held her legs while the other applied pressure to her neck and that pressure resulted in her being strangled and dying at the scene very quickly. The men then took her and placed her in the bath and turned on the tap." "I can't think of any occasion in the UK when a suspect helped out with a reconstruction, with the exception of once, in more recent years, when one of the Moors murderers went up onto the moors over 40 years later to try to pinpoint where the crime took place and where bodies were buried. "Certainly so soon after a murder, to have two of the suspects back at the scene again within three days would be unthinkable in our country." The body of Mrs McAreavey is expected to arrive in Northern Ireland from Mauritius on Friday. It is understood her family hope to hold her funeral next Monday - in the same County Tyrone church where she married on 30 December. 'She is my life' On Wednesday evening, a police chief in Mauritius told the Press Association that skin tissue found under the fingernails of Mrs McAreavey could prove crucial to the police case against the three men charged over her killing. Mrs McAreavey's husband, John, has described her as "his rock". He said their hopes, dreams and future were gone and he had been left heartbroken and totally devastated. "I love my wife, very, very much and my world revolved around her. "I can't describe in words how lost I feel as Michaela is not just the light of my life - she is my life," Mr McAreavey said. The funeral mass is expected to take place at St Malachy's in Ballymacilroy near the Harte family home in County Tyrone. The 50-year-old driver of a Seat Ibiza, which crashed with a BMW 320 in Shotton Colliery on Saturday, died at the scene. Durham Police said a 26-year-old man from Hartlepool had been charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Two men from the Shotton area, aged 33 and 28, were bailed after there arrest on suspicion of assisting an offender. While urging calm from both sides, media outlets also said the US was "harassing China" and that Beijing is "not frightened to fight a war". The USS Lassen sailed in the Spratly archipelago on Tuesday as a challenge to China's claim over the islands. China condemned the move and summoned the US ambassador in a show of protest. China claims sovereignty over much of the South and East China seas. The guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen breached the 12-nautical mile zone that China claims around the Subi and Mischief reefs in the Spratly archipelago. China's island factory Why is the South China Sea contentious? The Global Times - which is owned by the Chinese Communist Party's newspaper People's Daily - published an English-language editorial titled "After the show, it's time for US destroyer to leave". "We should stay calm. If we feel disgraced and utter some furious words, it will only make the US achieve its goal of irritating us," it said. It added that Beijing should deal with Washington tactfully and "prepare for the worst". "This can convince the White House that China, despite its unwillingness, is not frightened to fight a war with the US in the region, and is determined to safeguard its national interests and dignity." It called on Beijing to track US warships and launch interventions if US vessels stopped in the South China Sea. The newspaper used stronger language in an editorial in Chinese, calling for China to "hold its temper" while pouring scorn on the US. "It can't finish the situation in Iraq or Afghanistan; it dares only to make noise against Russia; it has failed to achieve anything in Syria; and it can't really take down Pyongyang. China really hasn't provoked it, but the US truly is only a 'paper tiger'," it said. Xinhua state news agency similarly slammed "the lame-duck Obama administration" for trying to reassure allies in Asia "at a time when its so-called Asia Rebalance policy falters", and warned that China "will take whatever means at whatever cost to safeguard its sovereign interests". People's Daily carried a commentary in Chinese by Su Xiaohui, the deputy head of the China Institute of International Studies, who noted that South East Asian countries "did not want to see the South China Sea's peace broken". "Those who upset plans will be met with suspicion and condemnation," he wrote. Under maritime laws the 12-nautical mile zone cannot be claimed for features that were submerged and raised through human intervention. The reefs, which were submerged, were turned into islands by China by a massive dredging project which began in late 2013. China says its work is legal and for civilian purposes, but Washington believes Beijing is constructing military facilities to reinforce its disputed claim to most of the region - a major shipping zone. The USS Lassen operation was part of America's Freedom of Navigation programme to challenge "excessive claims" in the world's oceans and airspace, and was welcomed by several countries in the region, including the Philippines and Japan. Other countries in South East Asia have competing claims for the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which are thought to have resource-rich waters around them. Ethem Orhon, 67, is accused of attacking the women in a Sainsbury's car park in Hampton, London, on 20 May, Kingston Crown Court heard he had been arrested for possession of a knife on 19 May and was bailed two hours before the alleged assaults. Mr Orhon, of Hampton, denies two counts of attempted murder. He has also pleaded not guilty to two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The prosecution says Suzanna Brand, 53, Janet Morsy, 63, Jean Sullivan, 68, and Charandasi Chandiramani, 71, were entirely innocent and selected at random in the car park in south-west London. The court heard they had suffered appalling injuries after Mr Orhon attacked them with a Leatherman knife, which was shown to the jury. Ms Brand was stabbed 12 times, including in her back and side that led to two collapsed lungs and laceration to her liver. Ms Morsy was heard pleading "please don't" shortly before Mr Orhon stabbed her three times. She lost a litre of blood in the attack. The jury heard that Mr Orhon did not say a word during the attacks, but was eventually stopped by police officers who had to draw their Tasers before he surrendered. The prosecution said Mr Orhon felt he had been mistreated by the police and that this was his motive for the attacks. It said the trial would hear of the "true bravery" of members of the public who tried to help, including two school children who may have prevented further attacks by distracting him and calling the police. The trial continues. Australia's national carrier says it will connect Perth, in the west of the country, to the UK capital using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The 9,000 mile (14,498km) flight will take 17 hours. Perth will be a hub for passengers from eastern Australia going to the UK, tourism minister Steven Ciobo said. He also said the new service would boost employment and tourism in Australia, a sector growing three times faster than the rest of the national economy, and one that supports 580,000 jobs. Mr Ciobo also said that the UK was Australia's third-largest source of international visitors, with 660,000 people travelling from there to Australia in 2015. "When Qantas created the Kangaroo Route to London in 1947, it took four days and nine stops," Qantas chief executive officer Alan Joyce said. "Now it will take just 17 hours from Perth non-stop." He added: "The opportunities this opens up are huge. "It's great news for travellers because it will make it easier to get to London. It's great news for Western Australia because it will bring jobs and tourism. And it's great news for the nation, because it will bring us closer to one of our biggest trade partners and sources of visitors." The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners used on the route will carry 236 passengers, Qantas said. The new flights will make up the longest non-stop passenger route in the world. The current longest non-stop scheduled flight is Emirates Airlines' 14,200-kilometre Dubai-to-Auckland, New Zealand, service, which takes 16 hours 35 minutes in an Airbus A380. The first air travel connecting the UK to Australia began in 1935, flying passengers from Sydney to Singapore, where services linked with London-bound flights. However, the journey time to London was 12 days and included a section on a train. Qantas launched its pioneering weekly service on the Kangaroo Route on 1 December 1947, initially taking four days and carrying 29 passengers and 11 crew from Sydney to London. The journey flew to Darwin, in northern Australia, and then on to Singapore, Calcutta in India, Karachi and Cairo, before it travelled to Tripoli, in Libya, and then on to London. The announcement of the new route comes as Boeing also announced airline Iran Air was buying 80 of its passenger planes. The 10-year deal includes the purchase of 50 Boeing 737 aircraft and 30 777 planes. Ranger was in court on Wednesday over an alleged scam involving a vulnerable person's bank details. "It was kept in-house by Nile and his ex-advisors. It's something that goes back a couple of years," said Brown. "Nile's got to deal with it. He can't expect to just sweep it under the carpet and make it go away." The 25-year-old former Newcastle and Swindon forward, who joined the Shrimpers in the summer, has scored twice in 11 appearances and impressed enough to sign a three-and-a-half-year deal on 1 December. But he has been charged with conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, regarding offences alleged to have been committed in February 2015. The League One club have said Ranger will continue to be available for selection, and Brown had a 30-minute conversation with the striker on Thursday. "He's confident he'll train Thursday, train Friday and play a big part in the game on Saturday, if selected," said Brown. "It's a big decision. I've got to make sure that physically he's capable of causing damage to Oldham Athletic and secondly, mentally, he's onside with everything we're trying to do. "But on a positive front, we're trying to extend Marc-Antoine Fortune's contract. It runs out on 1 January but we're looking to extend that until the end of the season and possibly beyond." Work on the TransPennine Express Railway - between Manchester and York - and Midland Mainline - from London to Sheffield - was paused in June. Sir Peter Hendy, Network Rail chairman, said the "temporary pause" had "given us the space to develop a better plan". Transport minister Patrick McLoughlin said work could now resume immediately. The TransPennine upgrade is expected to provide capacity for six "fast or semi-fast trains" per hour between Manchester, Leeds and York , reducing journey times by up to 15 minutes. The Manchester to York section of the work is now planned to be completed by 2022. Once completed, the whole line from Liverpool to Newcastle will be fully electrified, the Department for Transport added. The electrification of Midland Mainline north of Bedford to Kettering and Corby will now be completed by 2019, and the line north of Kettering to Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and to Sheffield will finish by 2023. "We face some difficult challenges, and there is more work still to do, but the secretary of state's decision means we can now move forward with our plans to electrify TransPennine and Midland Mainline," Sir Peter added. By BBC North of England correspondent Danny Savage There was uproar in June when it was announced that the electrification of the TransPennine route and the Midland Mainline between London and Sheffield was being delayed indefinitely. Upgrading the TransPennine line between Manchester and York was part of a wider package of measures to improve the rail network in the North, as part of Chancellor George Osborne's ambition to create a northern economic "powerhouse". When the delay was announced some people commented it was a "northern powercut". Now the work is to resume. In June, Mr McLoughlin told Parliament he was pausing both electrification projects - resulting in criticisms from rail users and MPs in the affected areas. He told MPs he was delaying or cutting back parts of a five-year £38bn plan to modernise the UK's rail network, blaming Network Rail for rising costs and missed targets. At the time, he said "better services" could be delivered on Midland Mainline before electrification was completed. Addressing the TransPennine route, he told Parliament in June: "We need to be much more ambitious for that route." Network Rail then carried out a review of the projects and an update on the projects was delivered to Mr McLoughlin on Monday. In a letter to Network Rail, the transport minister said work on the two lines could be "unpaused with immediate effect and progressed with some urgency". He said "connecting up" cities in northern England was "at the heart of our plan to build a Northern Powerhouse". "This government will see the job through and build a better, faster and more reliable railway for passengers in the North and Midlands," he said. In June, Labour accused the government of deceiving the public over its decision to pause the two projects, saying it was clear the plans were in "serious difficulty" before May's general election. Shadow transport secretary, Lilian Greenwood, said: "We warned ministers for months that these projects were at risk, but they cynically waited until after the election to withdraw support." Ministers had been forced to change course after an "outcry" from passengers after the projects were stopped, she added. Ms Greenwood accused the government of "incompetence", saying the delays had led to a "damaging hiatus, which had seen construction job losses and resources shifted to other projects". This is the result of a high profile campaign, named "Crack-hard Special Operation", launched on 23 May last year, a day after suicide attacks killed 39 people in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. According to Chinese media, the campaign targeting terrorists and religious extremism had become a strong deterrent, with 112 people turning themselves in to the police. Ordinary people have shown strong support by reporting crimes, the reports add, stressing that legal procedures were strictly followed and the rights of the defendants respected. It is not clear what Beijing means by a terror group. Access to journalists in Xinjiang is limited, making verification difficult. Even by Chinese standards, the smashing of such a large number of terror groups is quite staggering. On the one hand, there were enhanced armed patrols, setting up of check points, networks of neighbourhood watch and "inspection of households"; and on the other hand a de-radicalisation programme was put in place to combat religious extremism, and there was a crack down on the trade in illegal videos and criminals engaged in illegal marriages. It is worth noting that these reports did not directly mention the fact that there had been a series of attacks in Xinjiang while the "crack-hard" campaign was going on, including the one in Kashgar on 12 October in which 22 people were killed. There was also a bomb and knife attack on 18 November in Shache prefecture in which 15 people were killed, including 11 attackers. There was a reference, however, to a security operation in which up to 10,000 ordinary people lent a helping hand, some staking out suspects for seven days in the mountains. This was praised as a shining example of the "people's war". Why is there tension between China and the Uighurs? There is no figure as to how many people have been arrested and convicted during the year-long crackdown, but there have been interim reports during the year. For instance, Chinese media reported that less than two months into the campaign, more than 400 people had been arrested and 40 violent groups smashed. A number of people have been executed, often after trial proceedings lasting a matter of days. In June last year, 13 people were executed in Xinjiang for acts of terror, including three who were convicted of a deadly jeep-crash in Tiananmen Square in October 2013. Twelve more were put to death last October for attacks that left nearly 100 people dead in Shache in July. About 60% of Xinjiang residents are Uighur Muslims and although ethnic tension has existed for decades, there seems to be an escalation of violent clashes in the past few years. The Chinese authorities blame a separatist movement, hostile foreign forces and religious extremism for the troubles, while rights groups criticise the government for repression of religious freedom and dissidents in the region. Amnesty International said in a statement soon after the campaign started: "Ethnic Uighurs face widespread discrimination including in employment, education and housing, and curtailed religious freedom and political marginalisation." It criticised the "deplorable" mass sentencing of 55 people at a stadium that month, in front of more than 7,000 people. "Those responsible for the recent violent attacks have shown a callous disregard for human life and must be held to account. But speedy show-trials will not deliver justice for the victims," the statement said. Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for World Uighur Congress based in Sweden, told the BBC that the recent report from Xinjiang simply shows that the crackdown on the Uiguir people had intensified, and the resentment from the people is increasing. He dismissed the Chinese government's phrasing of pre-mediated attacks, insisting that conflicts can occur any time where there is provocation, and that the Chinese authorities simply don't want to shoulder any responsibility for the situation in Xinjiang. Nicola Sturgeon greeted them outside the House of Commons, where the SNP leader said they would make Scotland's voice heard like never before. Meanwhile, Prime Minister David Cameron has confirmed David Mundell as the new secretary of state for Scotland. Mr Mundell is the only Conservative MP in Scotland. He had previously served in the Scotland Office as a junior minister. The SNP won all but three of Scotland's 59 seats in last Thursday's election, with Labour and the Liberal Democrats also only holding on to one seat each. Labour confirmed its sole remaining Scottish MP - Ian Murray in Edinburgh South - will be the party's shadow Scottish secretary as the party's MSPs held a near three-hour long meeting held to discuss Scottish Labour's election performance. The party's leader Jim Murphy has refused to resign but there have been calls for him to go to allow the party to have a fresh start. Speaking outside the party's HQ after the meeting, finance spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said the "overwhelming majority" of MSPs wanted Mr Murphy and his deputy Kezia Dugdale to "lead us forward into the future". The SNP is due to formally appoint its Westminster group leader following a meeting of its MPs on Tuesday, with Moray MP Angus Robertson expected to continue in the post he held during the previous parliament. The role will take on a new prominence with an appearance at Prime Minister's Questions every week after the SNP was officially given third party status in the House of Commons. As the third largest party in Parliament, the SNP is also expected to take up a front bench on the opposition side of the Commons, which had been occupied by the Liberal Democrats before 2010. Among the SNP ranks at the Westminster event were former leader and first minister Alex Salmond, and 20-year-old Mhairi Black, the UK's youngest MP in about 350 years. The group was met by a huge press pack and onlookers wielding a giant Saltire flag. Speaking to reporters, Ms Sturgeon said the SNP would be the "principled opposition in this place to the Conservative government." She added: "The SNP has worked long and hard in this election to make Scotland's voice heard. To have people in Scotland in such overwhelming numbers put their trust in us is fantastic, but also is a big responsibility. "We are determined to make Scotland's voice heard here in Westminster, but we are also determined to be that voice for progressive politics that we promised to be during the election; to stand up to policies from a Conservative government that will damage Scotland; and to make common cause with others of like mind from across the UK." Ms Sturgeon, who had a brief telephone conversation with the prime minister last Friday, said she hoped to have "more detailed conversations" with Mr Cameron in the near future. She said: "His starting point seemed to be to implement the Smith Commission proposals. I don't think that goes far enough and I think that has to be looked at again. "David Cameron cannot simply operate as if nothing has changed in Scotland - everything has changed." Mr Salmond, who arrived at the event at the St Stephens' entrance to parliament separately from other SNP MPs, said: "When I was last here we had to run around to look like a crowd - now we are a crowd. "Obviously we are seeing a major change and shift in Scottish politics. Behind the number of MPs we are seeing a seismic shift - clearly Scotland is on a journey, there's no doubt about that whatsoever. "But Nicola Sturgeon was quite right - the election result was not a mandate for independence or for a referendum on independence." Asked how he would adjust from being first minister to a Commons back bencher, Mr Salmond added: "I loved being first minister but everything has its time and I think things are turning out not too badly." Ms Sturgeon has already issued calls for more powers for Holyrood in the wake of the SNP's election success. She wants business taxation and control over welfare to be devolved as "priorities", and will meet the prime minister in the coming weeks to discuss the issue. Some Tory politicians have urged Mr Cameron to offer the SNP full fiscal autonomy. The policy, which the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said would leave a multibillion-pound shortfall in Scotland's finances, was contained in the SNP's election manifesto. Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, who served as Scottish secretary in John Major's Conservative government, said a White Paper on full fiscal autonomy was needed. He told the BBC's Today programme: "They got 50% of the vote and 95% of the seats and the reality is you have to respond to that and I think what the government needs to do is produce a White Paper which sets out how fiscal autonomy, devo-max, call it what you will, would work in practice so people are aware of the advantages and the disadvantages. "The big advantage being Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP would not be able to produce fantasy manifestos that promise the earth without having the responsibility of raising the money to pay for it." Former Labour chancellor Alistair Darling, who led last year's campaign against independence, told the same programme that he believed the cross-party Smith Commission agreement on more powers for Scotland which was agreed after the referendum had been "completely overtaken by events". He added: "It won't do the business for Scotland, it's lopsided, therefore it is unfair on England - and if you compound that, as David Cameron has suggested, by saying that essentially English MPs will decide tax and spending, you are well on the way to breaking up the Union." Mr Darling said the UK instead needed to move towards a federal solution by offering substantially more powers and responsibilities to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He added: "Critically they have got to be more responsible for raising the money to pay for things, but at the same time you remove this anomaly where, when I was an MP, I could vote for English education, but I couldn't vote for Scottish education. "That's got to be dealt with, there's no question about that. But I think if we're intelligent about this we've got a chance for building a constitution for the 21st Century." Full results service Using techniques including wearable technology, they are looking for what are known as biomarkers - the very early physical signs of the disease. These can be spotted long before more obvious symptoms emerge. They hope it will open up new avenues for tackling Alzheimer's before the brain suffers serious damage. Nearly 47 million people worldwide were estimated to be living with dementia in 2015. Experts hope to find new markers - tell-tale signs on eye scans, brain scans or in the blood, for example - that might offer the earliest clue of the onset of dementia. The research, funded by the National Institute for Health Research and the Medical Research Council, is being aided by around 250 volunteers, including former university academic Peter Lindon. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and hopes his involvement in this latest research project may answer some troubling questions. "The importance is hard to overestimate because the question of one's short-term memory deteriorating has many consequences," he says. "The major concern one is principally bothered about is how much time you've got when you're likely to be competent, until the time that you are no longer competent." Peter has undergone a whole range of tests, mental and physical, to help researchers identify the biomarkers for Alzheimer's with early diagnosis possibly the best hope of finding an effective treatment. Race against time BBC iWonder: How close are we to stopping Alzheimer’s? Researcher Jennifer Lawson, from Oxford University, says: "Over the last decade or more, 99% of clinical trials into treatments for Alzheimer's disease have failed. "We think the reason for that is we are simply trying these in people far too late. "By the time someone comes to their GP and they think they might have some memory problems and they get a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, it's likely the brain has been under attack from this illness for 10 or even 20 years before." In a highly-equipped laboratory in Newcastle University's Clinical Ageing Research Unit, another volunteer, Trish Jones, has undergone an examination of how she walks, known as a "gait test". This research uses cheap and portable wearable technology to track how Trish moves, meaning it can be used as she goes about her everyday life. As Trish acknowledges, that gives researchers a much more accurate picture of what is really going on. "The fact is that when I'm walking normally, I do have a wobble," she says. "Walking here in the lab is very straightforward, no wobbles, no nothing! "It doesn't show you the right picture so it's important to have this on for seven days because when I'm walking normally I can be distracted and just start veering off. "People probably think I'm drunk, I don't know - I hope not!" Lynn Rochester, professor of human movement science at Newcastle University, says the act of walking can give us vital clues about how the brain is functioning. "Gait, or how someone walks, isn't on the face of it an obvious thing that we'd want to measure in this type of study. "But we're not headless chickens, we have to think about what we're doing with our feet and particularly when we are walking around in the real world. "You have to make a lot of decisions about navigation, someone might be distracting you and talking to you, you are turning and looking at obstacles in the environment, so there's an awful lot of cognitive skills that are required to enable someone to walk safely and independently." The 35-year-old won two silver medals in the canoe double (C2) with partner David Florence at London 2012 and Rio 2016. The London canoeist also became a world champion in 2013 in the C2, along with Florence. Find out how to get into canoeing or kayaking with our inclusive guide. "I'd like to say a massive thanks to everyone involved in helping me live my dream," he said. "It has been a true honour to represent Great Britain at the highest level and I look forward to cheering on British Canoeing and Team GB in the future." Alan was the Syrian three-year-old whose photograph - lying dead on a beach - focused world attention on the refugee crisis in September 2015. Mufawaka Alabash and Asem Alfrhad, both Syrian nationals, are being tried in Bodrum, the same Turkish seaside city where his body was washed up. Mr Alabash and Mr Alfrhad face up to 35 years in prison each if found guilty. They are charged with human smuggling and with causing the deaths of five people "through deliberate negligence". Both said they were innocent of the charges at the hearing on Thursday, which, the BBC understands, has already finished. Their next hearing will be in early March and the men will remain in custody until then. Alan's five-year-old brother Galib and his mother Rihan also drowned when the boat they were on sank during an attempted crossing to the Greek island of Kos. The father of the family, Abdullah, survived. He is currently thought to be living outside Turkey. The story of Alan Kurdi's family Why Alan Kurdi's picture cut through Speaking in Brussels, The Mayor of London called on a gathering of politicians and business leaders not to "instil fear" during withdrawal negotiations. He also stressed the economic importance of London to the EU. Prime Minister Theresa May is due to invoke Article 50 on Wednesday. Mr Khan said: "Now is the time to be confident in the European Union and to act with confidence. There is no need - as some have suggested - for the EU to send a message, or to instil fear, by punishing the UK. "Because a proud, optimistic and confident institution does not secure its future by fear." Mr Khan's speech was intended to put the "emotional" argument for a fair deal between the EU and the UK. Stressing that all Europeans living in London were Londoners, he said the capital would remain Europe's only global city after withdrawal, and that both sides need each other to boost their own prosperity. "My city is not only the beating heart of Britain's economy, but the single most important organ for growth across Europe. I say this with friendship and all due respect - but a bad Brexit deal that hurts London would hurt the European Union too," he said. Such a deal could see major businesses quitting Europe altogether for territories such as Singapore and New York, he added. Mr Khan also called on the prime minister to make a gesture of goodwill when she invokes Article 50 by offering a "cast iron" guarantee of the rights of 3.3 million EU citizens in the UK. "We're talking about people's lives and families... and that is just too important to use as a bargaining chip," he added. London was one of the few areas in England to vote in favour of remaining in the EU in last June's referendum. Some £235m of bank debt will be written off, helping to cut the total to £329m. Three major investors will also inject £75m into the firm. Much of it will go into refurbishing 175 hotels, starting next year. Travelodge also wants to find new operators for 49 hotels and pay greatly reduced rents on 109 more. It said it would work with its landlords to try to find other businesses to take over the running of the hotels, in the hope of avoiding job losses. Travelodge has been struggling with debts estimated at more than £1bn, but has been making profits on its day-to-day operations. It will now be given more time to pay off its remaining debts at lower interest rates. It does not own its hotels and many of its leases were agreed at the peak of the property market before the 2008 financial crash. Chief executive Grant Hearn said it was now in a much stronger financial position. "This new appropriate level [of debts, interest payments and rental costs] will provide greater security for our staff, suppliers, landlords and developers," Mr Hearn said. "This is a successful brand with millions of customers and the company will emerge in excellent shape from this process." As part of the deal, control will pass from private equity firm Dubai International Capital, which bought Travelodge in 2006, to Goldman Sachs, GoldenTree Asset Management and Avenue Capital Group. Dubai International Capital raised the money to finance the deal by issuing a £480m eurobond. This debt was added to Travelodge's balance sheet, but will now by written off by the Dubai investment firm as part of the restructuring deal, further reducing its debts. The reductions in hotel numbers and rent payments are proposed as part of a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), a legal process which helps companies reduce debts and outgoings. It has to be agreed by at least 75% of creditors, including landlords, suppliers and staff. The struggling chain said there would be no changes to 347 hotels if the proposed changes went ahead, the majority of its 505-strong estate. The British Property Federation gave a cautious welcome to the deal to save the UK's second biggest budget hotel chain, but expressed concern about CVAs. Liz Peace, chief executive of the British Property Federation, said some landlords were being asked to "take a big hit" to keep a far bigger business afloat. "We are becoming increasingly concerned with a system that creates such a range of winners and losers and allows advisers to dice and slice creditors to reach the required voting thresholds. "Such rules need reviewing and some greater sense of fairness restored," she said. Accountancy firm KPMG, which is running the CVA, said landlords would get about 23.4 pence in the pound back. If Travelodge had gone into administration, they would just have received 0.2p in the pound, it said. "We are constantly seeking to improve and evolve our CVA structures, based on feedback from the landlord community," Brian Green, restructuring partner at KPMG said. "Accordingly, we are again including a 'clawback' mechanism for landlords, so they can share in the turnaround of the restructured company's future, and landlords are also being offered the option of lease extensions." Twenty-two people died and 116 were injured in a suicide bombing at the US singer's concert on 22 May. The We Love Manchester Emergency Fund charity has raised over £11.7m, with £3m raised at the One Love Manchester concert staged by the singer at Old Trafford on 4 June. "Ariana Grande exemplified Mancunian spirit," the chair of the charity said. Councillor Sue Murphy added: "Her fundraising concert raised millions for the appeal and buoyed all our spirits. "We are grateful to her for agreeing to be patron of this charity, which seeks to help everyone who was affected by the tragedy." Gift payments from the appeal have already been released to the bereaved families and those who were in hospital for more than seven days following the attack. Grande is also set to get honorary citizenship of Manchester under plans put forward by the city council. Residents in Overdale Road, Old Basford, reported a number of shots being fired just after 15:00 BST on Tuesday. A 22-year-old man suffered a minor injury in the disturbance but did not require hospital treatment. Nottinghamshire Police said a 24-year-old man was detained on suspicion of firearms offences on Saturday. The force added two women, aged 33 and 30, and a 32-year-old man who were previously arrested have been bailed pending further enquiries. Elephant grass (Miscanthus) planted as a biomass crop is a valuable habitat for the brown hare, according to research. A study suggests the grass can support hare populations when planted at the right scale. Numbers of brown hares have declined in the UK over past decades, though they are still common in some areas. Dr Silviu Petrovan of the conservation science group at the University of Cambridge carried out the research. "What we strongly suspect is that these areas of Miscanthus are very good at replacing lost diversity in the farmland," he told BBC News. "If you have a single block of Miscanthus with arable land and grassland fields in the vicinity (mixed farmland) it offers really high quality habitat for brown hares." In the study, scientists from the University of Cambridge, University of Hull and The Open University radio-tracked brown hares in North Yorkshire across the seasons. They discovered hares never fed on the grass, but they liked to sleep in it during the day, as they are nocturnal. Even small areas of elephant grass of only 10 hectares could harbour animals. But large swathes of Miscanthus were inhospitable, the scientists found. Miscanthus is grown in many parts of the UK, particularly near power plants, where it is harvested and burned for fuel. The grass requires little management and is not sprayed with herbicides. Dr Phil Wheeler from the Open University, who led the research, said: "In some respects, although these biomass crops are alien to the UK, they mimic unfarmed or unintensively cultivated bits of farmland, many of which have been lost as farming has intensified. "Our research suggests that for hares, diversifying farmland by planting biomass crops in small chunks might replace something of what has been lost." But he said if biomass crops are only viable when planted over wide areas, they may end up as another challenge to farmland wildlife. The research is funded by the wildlife charity, People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), and published in the European Journal of Wildlife Research. Follow Helen on Twitter.
