Several sharks arriving in Scottish waters during summer in 2012, 2013 and 2014 were tagged in an effort to track their movements. A new report analysing the information gathered has identified a key "migratory corridor" for the fish. Some sharks were also found to remain close to Scotland and did not migrate. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) working with University of Exeter tagged and tracked the animals. Basking sharks are the world's second biggest fish - the whale shark is the largest - and can grow to 11m (36ft) and weigh up to seven tonnes. They have no teeth and feed on microscopic plankton by opening wide their huge mouths. Every summer the sharks gather in large numbers around small islands between Skye and Mull off Scotland's west coast. The tagging project involved sharks found off Coll, Tiree and Hyskeir. According to the SNH report, the Irish and Celtic Seas represent an important migration corridor for basking sharks moving between the Sea of the Hebrides, the Isle of Man and southwest England. In autumn, tagged sharks were found to move away from the Scottish islands and towards the west of Ireland, the Bay of Biscay, Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. Some of the sharks spent winter off Madeira and the Canary Islands off west Africa, but others remained "relatively close" to Scotland throughout the winter. The report added that new research was planned into the microscopic creatures that the giant fish feed on. Other organisations have an interest in the sharks. Three years ago, the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust (HWDT) reported an increase in encounters with basking sharks. Fifty sharks were counted over just nine days. Up until 19 years ago, basking sharks were hunted in the seas off Scotland for their liver oil. These problems can range from not liking certain foods (which happens to most people), to serious eating problems which may come from medical or emotional troubles. Scientists think eating problems can start in a lot of ways. Some think that you are born with them. Others believe they're learned from people around you and people who are famous, for example, very thin fashion models. Also people who don't feel in control of their lives may turn to eating, as it's one thing they do have power over. Eating problems can also start because of other issues, such as unhappiness at home or school, someone you know dying, or a mixture of these and other things. But thankfully, a lot of help is available from doctors and from charities. Anorexia is a medical condition and its proper name is anorexia nervosa. People with anorexia nervosa avoid eating and lose a lot of weight. They often feel fat, even when they are very thin. They may use other ways of staying thin, such as taking tablets which make them go to the toilet more often, or by doing too much exercise. They can become very weak and without special help, some people with anorexia can even die. Bulimia is also a medical condition and its proper name is bulimia nervosa. People with bulimia eat lots of food (called binge eating) and then make themselves sick to get rid of what they've eaten. People with bulimia may not look underweight and so can find it easy to hide their eating problems. Binge eating and vomiting can eventually do serious damage to the teeth, heart, kidneys and muscles. You can get help from talking to friends and family or a trained helper, called a counsellor. You can find counsellors by calling ChildLine for free on 0800 1111. Also you can talk to Beat, a charity helping people with eating disorders, on their youth line 0845 634 7650. Learning Pool, which was founded in 2006, employs 80 people and its customers include the NHS and Capita. The investor is Carlyle Cardinal Ireland (CCI) which is focused on small and medium Irish firms with strong growth potential, including Lily O'Brien's chocolates and Payzone. The Learning Pool deal is CCI's first in Northern Ireland. The investment will help the firm to grow its team and develop new products. The size of the deal has not been revealed but is understood to be a seven-figure sum.. Fast track The fund usually makes investments of between 5m euros (£4m) and 50m euros (£40m). Learning Pool's existing management team, including the chief executive Paul McElvaney, will continue in their current roles and are investing further as shareholders in the business. Mr McElvaney, who founded the business and was the majority shareholder, said the investment will allow the firm to "fast track" its growth and deliver products more quickly. Jonathan Cosgrave, managing director, at the Carlyle Group said Learning Pool is well positioned to grow its share of the estimated £675m UK e-learning market. He added that the fund had been impressed by Learning Pool's "entrepreneurial leadership team." John Dolan, managing director, Cardinal Capital Group said the e-learning market is growing at over 10% per year and Learning Pool is "ideally placed to meet this demand". The conclusions are from a new report into the case of the murdered private investigator Daniel Morgan, killed in 1987 in Sydenham, London. It said boxes of potential evidence were not disclosed to the defence. Six investigations have failed to find Mr Morgan's killer. The report was conducted jointly by the Crown Prosecution Service and Metropolitan Police and said four boxes were left in storage, instead of being disclosed to the defence, three of which were relevant to the trial proceedings. This resulted in the collapse of a trial at the old Bailey last year. The report also said several "supergrass" witnesses were not properly handled. Mr Morgan, who was originally from Llanfrechfa, near Cwmbran, and ran a small private detection agency, was found in the car park of a pub with an axe in his head. Until his death Mr Morgan was in partnership with Jonathan Rees, whose company Southern Investigations has been linked to alleged email hacking. The BBC's Tom Symonds said it has been claimed Mr Morgan was killed because he had uncovered evidence of police corruption in south London. Initial investigations failed to get to the bottom of the case, because, it was alleged, of police corruption. But in 2006 a new inquiry, codenamed Operation Abelarde 2, began and Mr Rees and two other men, Garry and Glenn Vian, were charged with Mr Morgan's murder. Then in March 2011 the case against them was thrown out because of the prosecution's failure to disclose evidence. The fresh review of the case concluded the three crates of documents not disclosed to the defence, which related to an earlier money laundering case, were relevant to the proceedings. The report said: "It became apparent that there had been a clear oversight in respect of these three crates. "Whilst they were already within the police… they had not been entered in to the police records, nor ever assessed. This was clearly an error. "These three crates had gone unnoticed and were overlooked, whilst stored amongst many other crates." The report also blamed the handling of three so called "assisting offenders", often known as "supergrasses". One, known as Witness B, claimed to have seen the murder take place. However, the report found he was allowed to contact the senior investigating officer on the Morgan murder team, in breach of rules preventing this. Assisting offenders are only supposed to talk to those responsible for debriefing them. The report also said the judge in the case found Witness B was "probably prompted by a senior police officer to implicate Glenn and Gary Vian". He had also been tipped off that he had been caught lying about his father's death and given the chance to think of an explanation. Background details about another key witness, Witness A, were not discovered, and a third witness, C, gave police details of other murders which he had got from a missing persons website. The report added: "This was a truly exceptional case in terms of a combination of factors, namely its age; the size and the number of linked operations; the enormous volume of material generated, particularly unused, and the fact that all three of the... witnesses were undermined, post charge, by factors that adversely affected their credibility. "In addition there was a lack of scientific evidence." Cressida Dick, the assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, and Alison Saunders, chief crown prosecutor for CPS London, issued a joint statement following the report's publication. It said: "This case, as the trial judge said, was of an exceptional scale and complexity, with over three quarters of a million documents gathered over 20 years being examined. "The issues around the disclosure exercise were such that we could not guarantee that all relevant material had been identified, considered and disclosed so as to ensure a fair trial. A further factor related to the unreliability of critical witnesses. "To this end, the purpose of the review was to identify potential good practice and learning for both police and prosecutors for future cases. "What the review was not was an investigation into allegations of corruption; nor was it intended to serve the purpose of an investigation for police disciplinary purposes." The statement added that the recommendations identified within the review would now be implemented by both agencies. This includes new guidance for using supergrasses. The murder of Mr Morgan was raised at the Leveson inquiry into media standards and ethics in February in evidence from former Metropolitan Police detective and BBC Crimewatch presenter Jacqui Hames. She told the inquiry that she and her husband, Det Ch Supt Dave Cook, were placed under surveillance by the News of the World after he appeared on Crimewatch seeking information about Mr Morgan's murder. Ms Hames told the inquiry that Southern Investigations had "close links" to Alex Marunchak, the newspaper's crime editor in the late 1980s. In a statement, she said: "I believe that the real reason for the News of the World placing us under surveillance was that suspects in the Daniel Morgan murder inquiry were using their association with a powerful and well-resourced newspaper to try to intimidate us and so attempt to subvert the investigation." Alastair Morgan, Daniel Morgan's brother, said his family believed they too had been placed under surveillance following a critical development in the case in 1998. News International said it had "no comment" to make on Ms Hames's statement to the Leveson inquiry. EBTs allowed Rangers to make tax-free loans to players and other staff from 2001 until 2010. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have now succeeded in their claim that these payments should have been taxed. The case has unfolded against a backdrop of financial meltdown for Rangers. It may still not be finished. Rangers were owned by Sir David Murray when the club began using EBTs. In 2010, it emerged that the taxman had claimed the scheme amounted to rule-breaking tax avoidance and HMRC judged that the club owed tens of millions of pounds in unpaid tax, fines and interest. Murray's firm, Murray International Holdings (MIH), defended claims for payment totalling about £49m, meaning the scheme was set to go before a tax tribunal. While this process was unfolding, Murray sold Rangers to Craig Whyte for £1 in 2011. Under Mr Whyte's stewardship, the club went into administration in February 2012 amid a cash crisis over unpaid tax - unrelated to the big tax case. Liquidation followed months later after an agreement could not be reached with creditors. A consortium led by Charles Green later purchased Rangers' assets and the team began season 2012/2013 in the Scottish Third Division. In November 2012, a first tier tax tribunal ruled that Rangers' use of EBTs under David Murray was legal. The following February HMRC lodged an appeal against this decision and in July 2014 upper tier tax tribunal judge Lord Doherty dismissed the appeal but referred several issues back to the original panel. HMRC refused to concede and launched another appeal which has now been upheld by three senior judges at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The issue, however, may not be settled. David Murray may choose to appeal against the ruling to the Supreme Court. If he does, a final ruling in the case may still be years away. In the meantime, the judgement will have no financial impact on Rangers because the tax liability remains with the 'oldco' which went into liquidation. In 2012, the then Scottish Premier League (SPL) announced that judge Lord Nimmo Smith would chair an independent commission to investigate alleged non-disclosed player payments at Rangers relating to EBTs. The commission concluded that 'oldco' Rangers did not disclose payments to the football authorities and fined the club £250,000. It also ruled out any sporting penalty, saying the non-disclosure did not affect the eligibility of players. It remains to be seen whether the determinations of that commission will be subject to further scrutiny or challenge. The 26-year-old, from Bray, County Wicklow, beat Russia's Sofya Ochigava in the lightweight boxing final. She was cheered on by thousands of excited Irish fans at the ExCeL Arena. London 2012 is the first Olympic Games in which women have competed in the boxing ring. President Higgins said: "She truly deserves this historic and hard earned victory; it is a just reward for her dedication and commitment over the years," he said. The Irish Prime Minister, Enda Kenny, said Taylor was ''a force of nature whose pioneering spirit and boxing brilliance have seen her realise her personal dream of winning Olympic gold". Speaking after the fight, Taylor said that when the bell rang she did not know whether or not she had won. "I didn't know what way the scoreline went," she told the Irish state broadcaster, RTE. "It was such as close contest really, it could have went either way." She also paid tribute to the crowd in the arena who she said had been "amazing". Many more of her fans gathered in her home town to watch the bout on big screens. The four-time world champion, who took up the sport at the age of 12, had been a strong favourite to take gold. She was taught to box by her father Peter, who was 1986 Irish senior light heavyweight champion. At the age of 15, Taylor made boxing history when she fought in Ireland's first ever officially sanctioned women's bout. After her Olympic victory, the former world champion boxer Barry McGuigan hugged Taylor as she came out of the ring and called her "a legend". McGuigan also said the thousands of Irish supporters inside the arena had been "incredible" and joked that there was no one left back in Ireland. Her Olympic teammate, the Belfast boxer Paddy Barnes, tweeted: "Katie Taylor!!! Unreal!!! That is all." Sports stars from outside the world of boxing also took to Twitter to pay tribute to Taylor. The Republic of Ireland's international goalkeeper, Shay Given, described her as "a true Irish hero", while Bolton Wanderers footballer Fabrice Muamba tweeted: "Laying down in my hospital bed, watching Katie Taylor, She is got the best supporter. The Irish fans are unreal." Famous faces in the ExCeL Arena audience during the fight included the Duchess of Cambridge - the former Kate Middleton - and the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg. Back in her homeland, Pastor Sean Mullarkey, from St Mark's Pentecostal church on Dublin's Pearse Street, joined a congregation of fans and churchgoers to cheer on their most famous member. She is a devout Christian and her family have been part of the church community for about eight years. The Olympian is well known for pointing to the heavens after her bouts and always praises God for being her "shield and her strength" in post-match interviews. "Katie normally says 'thank you Jesus' as that's the focus of her life and that's where her heart is at," the pastor said. One man who knows the boxer well is Glenn Jordan of the East Belfast Mission's Skainos Project, and he said he was thrilled for her. "I know this has been the target for years for Katie and her parents Pete and Bridget," he said. "She has shaped much of the last 10 years of her life around the Olympics - it is the culmination of so much for her." The gold is the fifth medal for Team Ireland at London 2012. Showjumper Cian O'Connor collected Ireland's first medal of the games on Wednesday. The other three have all been won by boxers. John Joe Nevin from Mulligan in County Westmeath, and Belfast fighters Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan - are guaranteed at least a bronze medal each. All three men fight for the chance to win a place in their respective finals on Friday. The last Irish boxer to win a gold medal was Michael Carruth in the men's welterweight boxing in Barcelona in 1992. The site said the clips violated its terms of service regarding videos that threatened violence. A spokeswoman said the videos were "against YouTube's guidelines" and were removed when flagged. But experts warned that removing them might accelerate their spread around the internet. Before killing three of his housemates, and then going on to shoot at random from his BMW, Rodger posted videos on the video-sharing site describing his plans. In one, filmed in his car, he said: "Tomorrow is the day of retribution. The day in which I will have my revenge against humanity, against all of you." The incident has led some to question whether technology can be used to flag disturbing content online as a way of stopping similar events. Google, like other companies that offer media-sharing services, has developed sophisticated methods to detect and deal with videos that contain copyrighted content, such as music. But to apply the same techniques to disturbing human behaviour was a challenge both enormous and complex, said experimental psychologist Andrew Przybylski, from the Oxford Internet Institute. "If there was an algorithm to identify people who were not functioning well, that would at first be interesting to the mental health community," he said. "People are asking Google for a technical solution for a social issue." By trying to monitor and act on videos that caused concern there will be a lot of false alarms, he added. "A lot of kids, when they're developing their identity, will say extreme things, but that doesn't mean that's a threat." Despite Google's actions to remove the content, the videos have been reposted around the internet - an unavoidable outcome, Dr Przybylski said. "The act of actually trying to hide the material actually will lead people to invest more value in it," he said. Videos that are removed in this way suffer from the so-called "Streisand effect" - the theory that by trying to block something, the actual result is a far wider dissemination. Elsewhere online, a page on Facebook that sought to "pay tribute" to Rodger was taken down after pressure from users. The social network had initially said it did not consider the site to be a breach of its terms of service, but went on to remove the page on Monday evening. The Guardian newspaper speculated that the page may have been intentionally set up as an act of provocation, rather than a genuine tribute. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Another three police officers were injured in the attack several hundred metres from the church entrance. So-called Islamic State group said its fighters carried out the attack. Located at the foot of Mount Sinai, St Catherine's is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and a Unesco world heritage site. It is part of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Tuesday's attack comes just days after bombings at two Coptic Christian churches left 45 people dead. The attacks have raised security fears ahead of a visit to Cairo by Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Egypt's Christian minority makes up about 10% of the pre-dominantly Muslim country of 92 million people. Roger Smith claims he had the substances for lawful purposes, such as cleaning and science experiments. His barrister said he was "a bit eccentric" and hoarded items such as these at his Nottingham home. Mr Smith, 46, denies having explosive substances and having a document or record for terrorist purposes. In the defence closing speech, Serena Gates said: "The reality is that Roger Smith has a genuine interest in playing around with gunpowder and making fires and flames and things, and there's nothing wrong with that." Mr Smith's trial has heard that police first became aware of him in June 2014, because of a dispute with his neighbours in Summerwood Lane, Clifton. In his evidence, a police community support officer (PCSO) said Mr Smith had openly told him he had a compound bow and a set of three knives. PCSO Matthew Holden said Mr Smith was concerned about "a terrorist attack or Islamic attack similar to the Lee Rigby attack", said "Islam was at war with the West" and "believed a citizen should have the right to bear arms". However, Ms Gates pointed out a Muslim police officer who refers people to de-radicalisation programmes later spoke to Mr Smith, and did not feel it necessary to refer him. The officer, PC Atlas Iqbal, told the court they had discussed the Muslim faith. "He was very interested in what PC Iqbal said," Ms Gates told jurors. "Hardly the actions of an Islamophobic madman." Police searched Mr Smith's home on 21 October 2015 and found gunpowder and large amounts of chemicals that could be used to make explosives, along with a copy of a bomb-making guide called the Anarchy Cookbook Version 2000, the court heard. In interview, the court heard Mr Smith told police he had downloaded the book from a website and printed it off, but in his evidence to jurors he said the book was a gift from a friend. Ms Gates explained he did not tell police the truth as he did not "want to drop anyone else in it". She accepted Mr Smith made comments about "immigrants coming into this country", but said his views did not make him a criminal. "Not everyone shares Donald Trump's views in America but that doesn't make him a criminal," she said. Mr Smith bought a second copy of the Anarchy Cookbook from Amazon while awaiting trial, which he said was to use as evidence for his defence, the jury was told. However, he was charged with an extra offence for doing this, the court heard. In the prosecution closing speech, Michelle Heeley said Mr Smith had no lawful excuse to have the gunpowder, no innocent excuse to have the chemicals, and no reasonable excuse to have the Anarchy Cookbook. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not at war," she told jurors. "We are not under attack. This is not America. We do not have the right to bear arms." The jury is considering its verdicts. The change comes with the incorporation of income-based jobseeker's allowance into the new universal credit system. People claiming jobseeker's allowance had been able to refuse to accept such jobs without facing penalties. But under universal credit, which is being rolled out gradually, people will have to accept the casual contracts. Zero-hours contracts, which allow employers to hire staff with no guarantee of work, are popular with many companies because they offer flexibility. But critics say they can leave workers with little financial stability or security, few employment rights and not enough work. The government says such contracts offer an average 25 hours work a week and can be a good means of gaining experience. A spokesman said that when workers did not get the hours they needed, their universal credit payments would adjust automatically to ensure they were financially supported. Labour said the government should focus on stopping abuse of workers through zero-hours contracts rather than on forcing claimants to accept such working arrangements. Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said: "The growth of zero-hours contracts and the exploitative use of them has got to be cracked down on." She said jobseekers should be able to choose whether to accept zero-hours contracts and "shouldn't be forced into taking a job" that was unsuitable. She said the government had questions to answer about "who exactly is at risk of losing benefits for refusing to take a zero-hours contract job". Under the new scheme, claimants who turn down such a contract when it is thought to be suitable could lose payments for more than three months. Employment Minister Esther McVey outlined the change in a letter to Labour MP Sheila Gilmore about benefits sanctions, the Guardian has reported. The newspaper said Jobcentre "coaches" would be able to "mandate" zero-hours contracts if they thought the role was suitable for the claimant. A spokesman from the Department for Work and Pensions said claimants needed to do everything they could to get work. He said jobseekers would be expected to take "reasonable" zero-hours contracts and carry on looking for permanent full-time work in the meantime. They would not be required to sign up to "exclusive" contracts, which tie a worker to a single employer with no guarantee of work. He said: "As now, if there's a good reason someone can't just take a particular job they won't be sanctioned. "But it is right that people do everything they can to find work and that we support them to build up their working hours and earnings." He said the average zero-hours contract provided workers with 25 hours of work a week and could "lead to long-term opportunities". What are zero-hours contracts? "Universal credit payments will adjust automatically depending on the hours a person works to ensure that people whose hours may change are financially supported and do not face the hassle and bureaucracy of switching their benefit claims," the spokesman added. Ms Gilmore said while she did not object to the principle of either universal credit or zero-hours contracts, she was "concerned" by the policy change. "I also fear that if people are required to take jobs with zero-hours contracts, they could be prevented from taking training courses or applying for other jobs that might lead to more stable and sustainable employment in the long term," she told the Guardian. Unions last week called for action against zero-hours working. This followed a study that showed around 1.4 million jobs involved contracts that did not guarantee a minimum number of hours. The Office for National Statistics said most of the contracts were zero hours. Under these contracts, people are not guaranteed work from one week to the next. But officials have pointed out that some workers could have more than one contract at a time. Crowds decked in green, shamrocks and the Irish tricolour packed Trafalgar Square for the annual festivities, including live music, on Sunday. A parade featuring marching bands, pipers, a 17ft high puppet, stilt walkers and dancers made its way from Piccadilly to the square earlier. An official St Patrick's Day event has been held in the capital since 2002. The Mayor of London's office organises the festival to bring the "best of Irish culture and a packed programme of great entertainment to Trafalgar Square". There are 220,488 Irish people living in London according to the last census. Carl Sargeant said UK government plans to change the arrangements for selling power to the National Grid would "undermine investor confidence". He said it would threaten schemes like the one he was visiting in Gwynedd. The Department of Energy and Climate Change said support had to be balanced with protection for bill payers. Mr Sargeant was visiting the £1.25m Anafon hydro-electric project being built at Abergwyngregyn, Gwynedd, on Tuesday. He said he and his Scottish counterpart Fergus Ewing had written to the department (DECC) urging support for renewable energy. The Welsh and Scottish ministers claim proposals to change the feed-in tariff accreditation would leave project developers not knowing what rate they would be paid. "We both see that the future direction for energy is one of local generation and supply, based on renewable sources, and smart storage and local grid management, with significant local benefit," said Mr Sargeant. "The current proposals will significantly damage the prospects for this future if the local ownership and benefits of projects are not considered within the support regime." The Anafon Hydro Scheme is due to be switched on in December, generating enough power to supply at least 200 homes. The DECC said it would look at how it supported community energy projects as part of a wider review of feed-in tariffs. A spokesperson said: "Our priority is to keep bills as low as possible for hardworking families and businesses while reducing our emissions. "The amount of renewable energy projects being built means we are on track to meet our ambitions for 2020 and we have to balance that with the need to protect bill payers." Officers believe a man driving a campervan may be responsible for damaging the prints at Staffin on Wednesday. Palaeontologists estimate the prints at An Corran date back 165 million years. In a series of tweets, local police officers appealed for help from people who were in the area. Lochaber and Skye police said: "Unfortunately we can confirm we are investigating reported damage to the dinosaur footprints at Staffin yesterday. Were you in the area? "It would appear a male driving a campervan was possibly responsible for pouring plaster into two of the prints. Any info please call 101." The prints at Staffin are believed to have been left by a family Ornithopods, herbivorous creatures which walked on two legs. The estimated temperature was about 5C (41F) as people of all ages dived into the waves. Dave Cocks from the RNLI Redcar team photographed many of those taking part. Platini and ex-head of world football's governing body Sepp Blatter were barred from the sport after being found guilty of ethics breaches over a $2m (£1.3m) "disloyal payment" between the pair. Both men, who deny wrongdoing, had the bans upheld but cut from eight years. Former France captain Platini, leader of European football's governing body since 2007, wants the verdict annulled. The network's parent company, 21st Century Fox, announced his resignation. The announcement does not mention the sexual harassment allegations, which have now come from multiple Fox presenters. Executive chairman Rupert Murdoch wrote that Mr Ailes has made a "remarkable contribution" to Fox News. "We continue our commitment to maintaining a work environment based on trust and respect," Fox executives Lachlan Murdoch and James Murdoch said in the statement. "We take seriously our responsibility to uphold these traditional, long-standing values of our company." Roger Ailes has long been viewed one of America's most powerful conservatives. The one-time media consultant to Richard Nixon was the key figure in building the Fox News channel into a ratings, profits and, most important perhaps, political powerhouse. Prior to his dramatic and embarrassing downfall, Mr Ailes was said to be one of the few employees that Rupert Murdoch actually feared. But it was the media mogul's admiration for his long-time lieutenant and ideological soul-mate that came through in the warm statement released by Fox News Channel's parent company, 21st Century Fox. "His grasp of policy and his ability to make profoundly important issues accessible to a broader audience stand in stark contrast to the self-serving elitism that characterises far too much of the media," said Rupert Murdoch, in a tribute that did not touch upon the allegations of sexual harassment against the former news chief. Noticeably, it was left to Mr Murdoch's sons, Lachlan and James, to point out that the company is committed "to maintaining a work environment based on trust and respect." I'm told by a source close to the company that the Murdochs wanted to move quickly, a lesson learnt from the handling of the phone hacking scandal. It's also measure of the importance that Mr Murdoch attaches to the Fox News channel that he is personally taking over as chairman and acting CEO after losing one of the central figures in his global media empire. What makes Mr Ailes' departure all the more dramatic is that it should happen on the final day of the Republican convention at a time when a deeply divided conservative movement was already in such a state of flux. Mr Ailes, 76, said he was stepping down because he had become a "distraction". "I will not allow my presence to become a distraction from the work that must be done every day," Mr Ailes wrote in a letter to Rupert Murdoch. He has run Fox News since it launched in 1996 and is credited with reshaping the American media and political landscape. A veteran of Republican political campaigns, he turned the cable news network into a ratings leader and an influential force in the Republican Party. "Rupert Murdoch is a conservative, but the Republican intensity, the conservative passion including the viciousness toward the Democrats that we now see against Hillary Clinton and has been going on against Obama all these years, all that is Roger Ailes,'' Paul Levinson, communications professor at Fordham University, told the AP news agency. Less than two weeks ago former presenter Gretchen Carlson sued Mr Ailes for sexual harassment and wrongful termination, claims he denies. Ms Carlson, who worked for the network for 11 years, alleges that he proposed having a sexual relationship with her and he instructed her to turn around in his office so he could look at her backside. Mr Ailes also allegedly called her a "man hater" and that she needed to "get along with the boys". A report in New York magazine, citing anonymous sources, said lawyers for 21st Century Fox gave Mr Ailes a deadline of 1 August to resign or face being fired. Further allegations surfaced in US media that Mr Ailes sexually harassed another Fox News presenter, Megyn Kelly, about 10 years ago, claims he has also denied. The victim received two pictures of an unknown man's penis on her phone via Apple's Airdrop sharing function. Lorraine Crighton-Smith, 34, said she felt "violated" and reported it to the British Transport Police (BTP). Supt Gill Murray said this particular crime was new to her force and urged people to report any other incidents. Ms Crighton-Smith, who was travelling on a train in south London, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: "I had Airdrop switched on because I had been using it previously to send photos to another iPhone user - and a picture appeared on the screen of a man's penis, which I was quite shocked by. "So, I declined the image, instinctively, and another image appeared, at which [point] I realised someone nearby must be sending them, and that concerned me. I felt violated, it was a very unpleasant thing to have forced upon my screen.` "I was also worried about who else might have been a recipient, it might have been a child, someone more vulnerable than me. "My name on Airdrop says Lorraine so they knew they were sending it to a woman. The images were of a sexual nature and it was distressing." Ms Crighton-Smith called the British Transport Police as she said she was worried about the motives of the perpetrator. "What's the next stage from sending a naked photograph to a stranger, what happens next, was he getting any sort of gratification from it?" The BTP has investigated the incident, but said because Ms Crighton-Smith did not "accept" the photograph there was no technological evidence for them to work with and recorded it as intelligence. Supt Gill Murray said the force had dealt with cases involving Bluetooth but an incident via Airdrop was "new to us". "Receiving an indecent image from someone you don't know must be very distressing and something we would take very seriously. If it happens to you, our advice would be to remain calm, retain the image and report the matter to police as soon as possible," she said. "We have a dedicated Cyber Crime Unit who can analyse mobile phones and track data transfers back to suspects' devices. By linking this to physical evidence, such as CCTV footage or witness statements, we can catch offenders and bring them to justice through the courts." Airdrop is specific to iOS device and Apple Macs. It uses wi-fi and Bluetooth to talk over a short range to other devices, like other iPhones. Its default setting is for "contacts only", which means only people you know can see you. But if you want to share your information or your contacts with other people, you may make a change to the settings and change it to "everyone". "This means that typically in a train carriage, or tube carriage, you can see other devices," commented Ken Munro, a cybersecurity consultant at Pentest Partners. "That's what's happened in this particular case, someone has enabled everyone and then hasn't then set it back. As a result anyone within wi-fi or Bluetooth range can send something to you that's quite horrible." He added that Apple could tackle the issue by making Airdrop return to its default setting if it had not been used for 10 minutes or so. A spokesman for Apple declined to comment.

The BBC survey suggests the average spend in the county is expected to be £433.16 - £30 less than the average across the areas surveyed. The figures suggest 52% of people in Lincolnshire are worried about Christmas spending, the joint highest. However, only 7% of people said they may resort to borrowing. People in North Yorkshire are expected to spend the most at £508.82 while the average spend across Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and Lincolnshire is expected to be £463.83. Across Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and Lincolnshire 50% of people surveyed for the BBC said they were concerned about their festive spending. Concern is highest amongst those aged 18-34 and those with children under 18. Jane Symonds, money expert at the Money Advice Service, said: "Christmas can be an expensive time of year, but it's important to know that you don't have to live beyond your means to make it a fun time. A big financial hangover is the last thing anyone wants to start the new year with. "Planning ahead by looking carefully at costs will help you to take control of your spending and reduce some of the pressure. It's best to avoid credit if you can, but if you need to borrow there are more options if you think ahead." Across the areas surveyed those planning to borrow 68% said they would use their credit card, 18% plan to ask friends and family for help, 18% will use their overdraft, six percent will go to a pay day lender, six percent will take out a loan, and two percent say they will go to a credit union. On average people said they expected to borrow about £180. Men said they were likely to borrow on average £214.76, while women said they expected to borrow about £146.36. More than half of all borrowers said it would take them between a few weeks to a year to repay their debt. Kevin Peachey, personal finance reporter, BBC News Financial advisers say it is never too late to draw up a budget for your Christmas spending. Those who get into trouble often forget to factor in those little extras that add to the festive bill. So, as well as presents, food and travel, advisers urge families not to ignore the cost of replacing decorations, calling relatives and even taking the children to Santa's grotto. They suggest shopping around on the internet for all these things to get the best deal. Those who turn to credit may be deferring the pain, but missing repayments in the new year could start or continue a debt spiral that may be difficult to pull out of. Instead, advisers say, keep things under control this year, and start saving now to bring some Christmas 2015 cheer to your family and your finances. Market research agency ComRes interviewed 1,270 people across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, of which 501 were in West Yorkshire, 305 were in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire, 335 in North Yorkshire, 179 in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire and 189 in Lincolnshire. The online survey was carried out for BBC Radio Lincolnshire between 27 November and 1 December. James Hood, 52, told Jedburgh Sheriff Court that while it was illegal to deliberately hunt a wild mammal with a dog there were some exceptions. He was giving evidence at the trial of John Clive Richardson, 66, and Johnny Riley, 24, of the Jedforest Hunt. The father and son deny deliberately hunting a fox with hounds last year. The offence is alleged to have taken place near Jedburgh in February 2016. The court had previously seen footage filmed by investigators from the League Against Cruel Sports. Commenting on the video, Mr Hood said: "A fox can be flushed by dogs from cover to guns. "My opinion from the footage of the two incidents is that the fox is pursued by a number of hounds across open ground with one or two horsemen and other persons present. "The pursuit is beyond what is allowed in the exception." The footage showed the fox disappearing into a "blind spot" or "dead ground" with the dogs in hot pursuit so what happened to the fox was not captured on film. The court was told that lawyers acting for two huntsmen intend to lead evidence during the trial saying that the dogs were flushing the fox towards a gunman who was in the dead ground area where he shot the fox. However, Mr Hood - who has since retired from the police force - said he could not hear any gunshots on the videos during the incidents or see any sign of gunmen. He also visited the scene at Townfoothill near Jedburgh in March 2016 - three weeks after the alleged offence - and discovered the carcass of a fox in the dead ground area. All that was remaining was a vertebrae and three legs intact and round the paws there was some red fur. Mr Hood said a post-mortem examination was carried out on the carcass and there was no evidence that the fox had been shot. He agreed under cross-examination from defence lawyer David McKie that he could not say for certain that it was the same fox which the video had shown being pursued by the dogs. The trial of the two men, both from Abbotrule, Bonchester Bridge, has been adjourned until next month. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what does this one tell us? Keeping in mind that the image presented is the one the White House wants to convey, the photograph still invites a number of observations and, perhaps, conclusions. Here are five of them. Let's get to the most obvious question first. What is the president watching so intently? According to Spicer's tweet, the people present are looking at a screen showing Vice-President Mike Pence, Defence Secretary James Mattis and Joseph Dunford, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The trio are part of the national security team at the White House tasked with explaining the results of the strike devised to punish the Syrian government for using chemical weapons on its own population. That's Spicer, by the way, tucked into the back left corner of the room. A quick glance at the Trump team photo instantly recalls what was perhaps the most memorable modern "war room" image, from 2011, when President Barack Obama and his national security team clustered around a monitor to watch the raid to kill Osama Bin Laden unfold. A key difference, of course, is that the Obama photo was taken in the White House Situation Room. Trump and his team gathered in a nondescript location at his Mar-a-Lago private club that has been converted into a Scif - a "sensitive compartmented information facility" - where the president and his aides can conduct secure communications. Trump and his team are seated in gold-painted chairs and the hint of an ornamental rug can be seen beneath their feet. Given that Mr Trump has spent most of his weekends at his Mar-a-Lago estate, this room - or one like it - will likely be the scene of more than a few dramatic events during his presidency. One of the more noteworthy stories earlier in the week, before the Syrian strike blew the news cycle out of the water, was the ongoing feud between presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump nationalist consigliere Steve Bannon. It seemed Kushner was gaining the upper hand, rapidly expanding his policy portfolio, while Bannon was on the outs - booted from his permanent seat on the National Security Council. Both men were in the room Thursday night, although the seating arrangement was telling. Kushner was front and centre at the table, casting what seems to be a cold gaze in the general direction of Bannon, who was a lamp away from being pushed up against a wall. (Stephen Miller, one of Bannon's closest White House allies, is also barely visible, seated to Bannon's left.) There's something else interesting about the seating arrangement in this photograph. On the president's left is his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. On his right? Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin - not the kind of Cabinet officials one would expect to see prominently featured in a national security briefing. Part of the explanation could be that Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago travel team was heavily stacked with economic advisers for his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Gary Cohn, director of the National Economic Council, is seated along the wall on the right. Perhaps they felt comfortable tagging along with the president to learn the results of the missile strike. It's probably safe to say, however, that a commerce secretary, usually a low man on the cabinet totem pole, has never before had such prominent real estate during a key national security meeting. During that fateful 2011 raid on Bin Laden's compound, one woman - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - was prominently featured, her hand to her mouth in apparent concern (or, she has since said, a result of seasonal allergies). Another woman, director of counterterrorism Audrey Tomason, is also visible. There's only one woman among the 15 in the Trump photograph, US Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategy Dina Powell. Ms Powell was an adviser to Ivanka Trump during the presidential transition and originally served as the president's senior adviser for entrepreneurship, economic growth and the empowerment of women. Like Gary Cohn, she also is a former high-ranking officer in the investment bank Goldman Sachs. All told, the photograph contains six men who can best be described as White House political/staff advisers, four national security or foreign affairs officials, three members of the president's economics team and a military attache. Oh, and the president. He's there, too. The Welsh Labour leader has been speaking in Chicago on his US business tour. He said it was crucial for the party to "get its act together" once the contest between Owen Smith and Jeremy Corbyn was over. Mr Jones said UK Labour was currently failing to provide "effective opposition" to the UK government. He said he did not want to see "weeks and months of animosity" when the new UK Labour leader is announced later this month. The Pontypridd MP and Labour leadership contender, Owen Smith, said if he wins he would campaign for a new referendum on EU membership, while his opponent Jeremy Corbyn is against this. Carwyn Jones told the audience in Chicago he also opposed a new EU referendum. Another vote, he said, would been seen as "an attempt by the establishment to overturn democracy". Mr Jones has previously said he will not publicly back either of the leadership candidates. The Manchester United forward earned 37% of the votes cast by members of the England Supporters Club and has now won it four times. England captain Rooney, 30, scored five goals last year, overtaking Sir Bobby Charlton as England's record goalscorer during Euro 2016 qualification. Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland was voted Under-21 Player of the Year. In the vote for the senior player of the year, Spurs striker Harry Kane was runner-up with 30% and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart in third place with 19%. Butland took 54% of the Under-21 vote, with Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard and Southampton's James Ward-Prowse both picking up 15%. His calculation is that China's economy will slow in a relatively contained way to a more sustainable rate - perhaps 4% or 5% a year compared with the official target of 7% - without a devastating crash that would damage a large number of client economies and engender social unrest in China itself (in employing the great Goldman bull of China Jim O'Neill as his commercial minister, Osborne could hardly wager otherwise). Today's manifestation of the China bet is confirmation of a long-trailed loan guarantee - initially worth £2bn but likely to rise substantially - to bind in Chinese and French nuclear giants to their promised massive £24.5bn investment in the Hinkley Point C new nuclear plant. This is certainly long-term strategic planning for more power security by Osborne and the government (well they would say). With oil fluctuating at between $40 and $50 a barrel, Hinkley's prospective electricity looks scarily expensive. And there is a paradox about how pricey the nuclear megawatts look right now - because one of the big causes of the oil price collapse is the Chinese slowdown that has savaged demand for energy. But Osborne views Hinkley as a bloated sprat to catch a ginormous mackerel: a Chinese-designed nuclear power plant in Essex is hoped to be in the offing (according to the energy secretary Amber Rudd in today's FT); a wagonload of construction investment in the chancellor's cherished "Northern Powerhouse" is chuntering down the track, according to leaders of north-of-England city council leaders out here with him. China represents perhaps the purest expression of Osborne's realpolitik approach to promoting prosperity in Britain. He is blowing a raspberry at human rights campaigners by going to Urumqi, where the indigenous Uighur population complain of economic and cultural discrimination by Han Chinese, to win business for British companies in President Xi's "One Belt, One Road" global transport-infrastructure "grand projet" (a Silk Road for a globalised age). And Osborne is also politely ignoring Washington, which is increasingly uneasy about what it sees as the Treasury's disloyal Beijing tilt (the White House was unamused, Beijing smug, when the UK became the first western member of the Chinese-sponsored Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank). The chancellor's calculation is that the Chinese will remember who stuck by them when the going got tougher. And he is also presuming that as the returns from investing in China itself diminish, Chinese institutions - many of them still loaded - will increasingly think owning a bit of Britain isn't such a crazy idea after all. Southern Health failed to adopt safe bathing guidelines for two-and-a-half years after Connor Sparrowhawk died following an epileptic seizure in 2013. His unsupervised death led to a report into hundreds of unexplained deaths. Fareham MP Suella Fernandes said after "two damning reports, serious changes in the leadership are now needed". In response to an urgent question in the House of Commons, Health Minister Alistair Burt MP said "a balance between continuity and stability" was needed to "ensure that what the Trust has promised is actually delivered". He acknowledged that since last year nine changes had been made to the Board. Trust chairman Mike Petter resigned on Thursday ahead of the publication of the CQC's report. He said he was stepping down "to allow new board leadership to take forward the improvements". Mr Burt told MPs: "NHS Improvement has the powers to alter governance, and I know from speaking to them they take that power and responsibility extremely seriously." The trust provides mental health services to patients in Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. A fuller Parliamentary debate is due to be held in the coming weeks to discuss the trust's governance and failures in care. Senator Delcidio Amaral said the president knew of wrongdoings and tried to block investigations. Ms Rousseff has denied any involvement. Meanwhile, the new justice minister has threatened to remove teams from the Petrobras inquiry if any more material is leaked to the press. In a statement, Brazil's presidency said Ms Rousseff will sue Senator Amaral for defamation over his interview with a magazine. He was the leader of her Workers' Party in the Senate and had agreed a plea bargain with prosecutors after being arrested as a result of the Petrobras scandal. What the Petrobras scandal is about Rousseff faces a perfect storm The inquiry has led to the arrest or investigation of dozens of executives and politicians, suspected of overcharging for contracts with Petrobras and using part of the money to pay for bribes and electoral campaigns. There is widespread public support for the investigation, known as Operation Car Wash, but Ms Rousseff and her allies have criticised its leading judge, Sergio Moro. They argue the inquiry has become politicised and some of his actions have been illegal. Last week, Mr Moro released phone recordings suggesting Ms Rousseff had appointed her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as her chief of staff to spare him arrest over money-laundering charges he denies. Even though Ms Rousseff vehemently denies it, Supreme Court judge Gilmar Mendes has suspended Lula's nomination, and a final decision is yet to be announced. Lula, the most hated and loved man in Brazil If Lula is a minister, any charges against him can only be dealt with by the Supreme Court, which operates more slowly, and not by Mr Moro. Earlier this month, Lula was briefly detained and questioned at Mr Moro's request. Ms Rousseff's supporters have also criticised leaks of questioning and details of the investigation to the media. New Justice Minister Eugenio Aragao questioned the publication of the unverified phone tap conversations between Ms Rousseff and Lula and said the Car Wash investigation was losing its objectivity. The release of the recordings has also been criticised by Supreme Court judge Marco Aurelio Mello, who has questioned its legality. However, the content of the phone calls has increased pressure on Ms Rousseff, who is facing growing calls for her removal. Additionally, there has been a resurgence in allegations of media bias against Ms Rousseff and her Workers' Party. Much of the criticism has been against Globo, the country's largest media group and one of the biggest in the world, allegations it denies. In 2013, the network issued an announcement about its support of the 1964 military coup, which led to a two-decade military dictatorship, and admitted it had made a "mistake". Simon Chaplin, 62, of Hebron, rigged a bucket of diesel, a pump and pipes in his Peugeot 309. He activated it after a police officer tried to pull him over for speeding near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. Chaplin must do 100 hours unpaid work and was given six points on his licence at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday. PC Dafydd Burge of Dyfed-Powys Police said Chaplin filled the road with fumes as he followed him along country lanes. He finally pulled over after about five miles and PC Burge, who was forced to keep a distance from him, was able to follow the trail of smoke to find him. Chaplin was convicted of causing a danger to other road users by deliberately causing smoke to be emitted and admitted driving without insurance and threatening behaviour. He said he "sort of panicked" when he saw the policeman's flashing blue lights and told the court the device, which he borrowed from another man, was used to kill moles. Judge Elwen Evans QC, said: "It is in very unusual circumstances that you find yourself before the court. I do not want to see you here again." The Division One leaders added 128 runs in just 19.4 overs as Toby Roland-Jones smashed 66 and James Franklin made 56 not out before declaring on 536-9. Facing a first-innings deficit of 332, Durham then slipped to 252 all out. Spinner Ollie Rayner impressed once again, claiming 5-85 to finish with match figures of 9-102. Middlesex are now 35 points clear of second-placed Somerset, who have a game in hand, and are almost certain to extend their advantage over Yorkshire in third, whose Roses match against Lancashire is heading for a draw. It was another day of complete dominance for the hosts at Lord's as they reached their highest score against Durham, surpassing the 511 made at the same ground in 1994. Roland-Jones and skipper Franklin put on exactly 100 for the eighth wicket in just over an hour in the morning - Roland-Jones hitting six fours and four maximums in his 47-ball knock. Durham opener Keaton Jennings top scored in their second innings with 45 to become the first batsman in the country to pass 1,000 Championship runs, but the visitors never looked close to making Middlesex bat again. Durham's own hopes of winning the title now look to be fading as they sit 40 points behind Middlesex with five matches remaining, but with a game in hand on the leaders. Gayle Leahair, 41, from Rainhill, Merseyside, was operations manager for a team which conned firms into buying adverts in a bogus magazine. The man behind the Liverpool-based scam, George Williams, 51, was jailed for seven years in January. Four other men were also sentenced on the same day as Williams at Liverpool Crown Court. Leahair, of Warrington Road, who was jailed on Thursday, was convicted with Williams in December of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation and fraudulent trading. The court had been told they produced a publication called "Emergency Services News" from an office in Dale Street. They should have produced about 1.2m copies to fulfil their promises to clients but instead police found they only printed 30,000 copies. The defendants, who called themselves Weinstein Williams Associates Ltd, were found to have falsely claimed that they worked for the emergency services. The League Against Cruel Sports said the find raised serious questions about the animal's treatment. It was found in a building on the Buckminster Estate, on the Leicestershire/Lincolnshire border. The estate - a member of whose staff was filmed visiting the fox - said it had done nothing wrong. Darryl Cunnington, from the League Against Cruel Sports, said the fox was dehydrated and underweight when it was found. "The conditions it was kept under were far from ideal," he said. "There is no reason whatsoever to keep a live, healthy-enough fox in a shed." Two days after investigators discovered the fox, a man was filmed on a hidden camera visiting the building. A few hours later the animal charity captured and removed the fox. The following morning Mr Cunnington said he filmed the same man returning with a net and a bag. He said the man checked inside and outside the building, but left after seeing the fox was no longer there. Later the same day, the Belvoir Hunt staged its annual gathering in the village of Buckminster. Source: Hunting Act 2004 A hunt spokesman said: "The Belvoir Hunt has no knowledge or involvement in this matter. "They absolutely reject any suggestion that this has anything whatsoever to do with any of its staff or members." The Buckminster Estate confirmed the man seen at the outbuilding was one of its employees but declined to be interviewed. In a statement, it said: "[It was] confident that none of its employees have acted in an illegal or improper way." Lincolnshire Police said its wildlife officers had been made aware of the matter. After being cared for at an animal sanctuary, the fox was released at a different location. Students beginning in 2017/18 will be offered a £2,000 discount on fees or a £1,000 discount plus money towards travel and accommodation costs. They can also choose to receive money towards purchasing a Macbook Pro. However, they will still pay substantially higher tuition fees than their Northern Irish or European Union counterparts. Northern Ireland and EU undergraduate students will pay £4,030 in fees in 2017/18 if they study at universities in Northern Ireland. Fees for their counterparts from England, Scotland and Wales going to study at UU are set at £9,000. That is a rise of £3,000 from 2016/17, when they were charged £6,000 a year. However, they will effectively now pay £7,000 or £8,000 a year depending on which discount option they choose. Queen's University (QUB), meanwhile, is to charge £9,250 in tuition fees to England, Scotland and Wales in 2017/18 - a rise of £250 on 2016/17. While the vast majority of students at UU and QUB are from Northern Ireland, around 6% of their undergraduates are from elsewhere in the UK. Figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) for 2015/16 show that 1255 of 20835 undergraduates in Northern Ireland were from GB. A further 1855 undergraduates are from the European Union or are classed as international students. Separately, figures from the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) have shown a drop in the number of local students applying to university. 20,290 Northern Irish students have applied to go to UK universities this year, a decline of 4% since 2016 and the lowest number of applicants since 2013. However, the number of students recruited from elsewhere will have no effect in reducing space for local students as the number of places at UU and QUB for Northern Ireland undergraduates is set by the Department for the Economy. But he remains modest about the Oscar buzz around his latest film role as a Soviet agent in Steven Spielberg's Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies. "I try to ignore it, personally, but I'm aware that it's going down well," says the quietly spoken English actor, director and playwright. "I've been working for a long time, but a lot of people don't know me. I'm like a vintage car they haven't seen before." In Bridge of Spies, Rylance plays real-life Soviet intelligence officer Rudolf Abel, who is arrested in 1950s New York and prosecuted as a spy. Abel's case is taken up by a principled insurance lawyer James Donovan, played by Tom Hanks, who wants to ensure Abel receives a fair trial. Donovan is plunged into the middle of a Cold War crisis when the CIA asks him to secretly negotiate a prisoner swap involving Abel and the pilot of a captured US spy plane. One surprising fact about Abel is that he was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and was originally known as William August Fisher. "The only person I met who knew about him was Sting," Rylance says, explaining how he met the Tyneside-born former Police front man after filming was over. "Sting knew that he was a famous Geordie Russian spy. He said, 'I hope you're playing him as a Geordie.' I said the research I had was that he sounded Scottish. I dodged a bullet, because Geordie is a very difficult accent to do. "I read that Abel and his father handed out flyers during the First World War trying to convince young English men not to sign up for it. So he'd obviously been involved very politically from a very early age before they then returned to Russia. "I also read that he could never speak Russian without an English accent." Rylance was cast in Bridge of Spies after Spielberg saw him on stage in the hit all-male production of Twelfth Night, in which a cross-dressing Rylance played Olivia. His other best-known stage work includes Jerusalem and Boeing-Boeing. For 10 years, he was the artistic director of Shakepeare's Globe. This is Rylance's biggest film role to date - other movies on his CV include Anonymous and The Other Boleyn Girl - and Rylance says he felt well prepared after playing Thomas Cromwell in the recent BBC adaptation of Wolf Hall. "The 17-week shoot, playing a character who was so secret and quiet, was a very intense period of work," he says. "I gained a lot of confidence on that shoot about my ability to register in a camera. That made a big difference." The actor says that he doesn't mind the lack of rehearsal time that comes with film. "Often your first instincts and the mistakes you make are better than what your mind is planning," he says. "You just have to throw yourself with faith into the director's hands." In the theatre, he says, rehearsals should be about creating performances that can "grow and change" throughout the run. "I don't work with theatre directors who try and lock down a production for the press night and then you have to be the same every night. I just won't do that," he says. "Rehearsal in theatre is more like preparing a football team to play a whole season." Bridge of Spies might be Rylance's first collaboration with Spielberg, but it's not the last. The director was so impressed with Rylance that a week into filming he gave the actor a copy of the screenplay for his next project, a big-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's The BFG. "I thought he just wanted my opinion of it," says Rylance. "I didn't realise he was actually offering me the part of the BFG. "I hadn't read the book, but the script was wonderful. I had to change my plans a little bit to make myself available." The film was shot in Vancouver earlier this year and is now in post-production. "It was motion-capture so my performance lives only in a computer," Rylance says of his role, the titular Big Friendly Giant. "I'll be 24ft high and have big ears." Roles don't come much bigger than that, but for now all eyes are on Rylance to see if his quietly powerful turn as a Soviet spy will add another statuette to his trophy cabinet. Bridge of Spies is released in the UK on 26 November. The BFG is out in summer 2016. The New York Times published a piece on June 7 with a striking byline, the writers were apparently South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and First Vice-President Riek Machar - until recently bitter enemies, now working together in a national unity government. The article argued that the country needed a truth and reconciliation commission, in which those who revealed the truth about abuses committed during the civil war would be exempt from prosecution. It suggested Western countries, and in particular the US and the UK, should put aside their support for a hybrid international-local court which was mandated by a peace agreement to try those accused of committing the worst abuses. "Disciplinary justice," the article argued, "would destabilise efforts to unite our nation by keeping alive anger and hatred among the people of South Sudan." There was an immediate backlash in the country, many people felt powerful leaders whose troops were accused of mass atrocities were attempting to escape justice. As David Deng of the South Sudan Law Society put it, if the hybrid court is bypassed "the governance culture that rewards those who wield violence to achieve their political [or personal] objectives while leaving the victims of those abuses to suffer in silence will continue unabated". This is where the story gets more complicated and perhaps more revealing about the state of affairs in South Sudan. Mr Machar's office denied that the first vice-president had co-written the article, and said he had no intention of dropping the court. The New York Times reportedly said it had received the article from government officials, and it should have sought direct confirmation from both camps that the article was written by them. Suddenly, the picture had changed quite dramatically. Instead of a rare statement of common purpose by Mr Kiir and Mr Machar, the two old enemies, the article seems to reveal the ongoing distrust between the two men. Mr Machar's refusal to endorse it is presumably linked to the strong desire of many of his supporters to see those accused of killing their family members face justice. In the first few days of the war in December 2013, many people from the Nuer ethnic group were killed in Juba, based on their supposed support for Mr Machar, who is a Nuer. Nuers all over the country went into rebellion in response to this. Mr Machar's supporters want those responsible for the killings to face trial, and it would be politically difficult for Mr Machar to backtrack on his proclaimed support for the court - even if his own troops also carried out a number of massacres, often also on ethnic lines. Mr Machar has also tried to position himself as a supporter of democracy and the rule of law - even if his enemies accuse him of unbridled ambition and responsibility for widespread atrocities. So who actually wrote the article? Juba-based journalist Jason Patinkin has been doing some digging. His research seems to suggest it came from the office of the president's press secretary, with some help from foreign consultants. Did Mr Machar sign off on the letter? His camp says no, but Mr Kiir's team insists he did. Someone is lying - and it's painfully clear that Mr Machar's return to government does not mean he and the president are on the same page.

Clashes developed when police enforced a ban on an Orange Order march in the north of the city on Friday evening. The order had called for widespread demonstrations over the decision to ban marchers from a short stretch of road that separates loyalist and nationalist communities. It later said it was suspending its protest. Many families with children were caught up in the violence. Petrol bombs, bricks and fireworks were thrown at the police who responded with water cannon and fired 20 plastic baton rounds. North Belfast MP Mr Dodds was knocked unconscious during the riot and taken away in an ambulance. The trouble started when the police blocked a road to enforce a determination made by the Parades Commission, preventing Orangemen from passing Ardoyne on the return route of their annual 12 July march. The area has seen republican rioting in recent years when the parade was allowed to pass. The Orange Order had called for sustained protests at the decision but has since reeled back from that position. The BBC's Andy Martin in Belfast says the fear of the police is that the "genie may already be out of the bottle". Loyalists do not necessarily take their lead from the Orange institutions. Trouble broke out when the parade was stopped on the Woodvale Road. Mr Dodds was hit by a missile thrown by loyalists at the junction of Woodvale Road and Woodvale Parade. A man who treated Mr Dodds at the scene, gave his account of what had happened. "I was standing right beside him listening to his conversation," he said. "He grasped his head as he went down. He was knocked out cold. I put him in the recovery position and checked his airway. A crowd gathered and then the ambulance arrived and he was taken away by ambulance. I felt sorry for the fella." "He was unlucky because he was also hit by water cannon as I was trying to administer first aid and he got soaked," he added. Northern Ireland executive minister Nelson McCausland, who was with Mr Dodds at the time of the incident, said the MP was "now conscious". Mr Dodds was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. He was treated and has since been discharged. Water cannon and baton rounds were used after a sustained attack on police in north Belfast. Police were attacked with ceremonial swords as well as missiles. Later on Friday night, police were attacked with petrol bombs on the Woodvale Road. The Parades Commission ruling stopped Orange Order lodges from walking on a stretch of road in north Belfast that separates loyalist and nationalist communities. Trouble also broke out on the Newtownards Road in east Belfast with petrol bombs being thrown at police lines. Earlier, missiles had been thrown as a parade passed St Matthew's Catholic church. Petrol bombs, bricks and bottles thrown were thrown, and water cannon was used by police, in both north and east Belfast. Earlier on Friday evening, Mr Dodds had appealed for calm following trouble. "People who want to engage in violence should desist immediately," he said. Northern Ireland First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson appealed for "cool heads" and said his thoughts were with those "who have been injured this evening, including my colleague Nigel Dodds". The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has also called for calm. Sinn Fein assembly member Gerry Kelly has blamed the Orange Order and unionist politicians for the violence. He accused them of having a deliberate strategy that had produced "inevitable results". Orange Order lodges in north Belfast, marched past the Ardoyne shops on Friday morning. However, the Parades Commission, which rules on contentious parades, banned them from returning by the same route in the evening. The ruling was that on their return, lodges would be stopped at the junction of Woodvale Road and Woodvale Parade. They have been prohibited from walking between that point and the junction of the Crumlin Road and Hesketh Road. The Parades Commission ruled that marchers would not be allowed to return along the part of the Crumlin Road, at Ardoyne shops, that separates nationalist and loyalist communities. The marching season in Northern Ireland is a period of events from April to August, with the highpoint on 12 July when Orangemen march to commemorate William of Orange's victory over the Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in 1690. William III is revered by the order as a champion of his faith. The Orange Order commemorate his victory in their annual parades. Many Catholics see the marches as triumphalist and sectarian with some traditional Orange routes passing through or past areas occupied mainly by Catholics and nationalists. The Parades Commission ruling on the north Belfast parade was welcomed by nationalist politicians but angered unionists.

More than 30 police officers and MP Nigel Dodds were injured during six hours of rioting in Belfast.

This is the full statement to the inquests from his sister, Evelyn Mills: Peter McDonnell was born on 9 February, 1968. He was the oldest of four children, namely, Patricia, Evelyn and Gerard, born to Gerard and Lillian McDonnell. He was cherished and, even at the age of 21, when he died, Peter was still fondly known as 'our baby'. He was always an inquisitive child, who loved to learn. He never played with toys; just tools. He spent many weekends and summer holidays at the Liverpool Museum, learning about dinosaurs and fossils, to the amusement of siblings, as he felt it necessary to share all the facts that he had learned. As the baby of the family, he was spoiled by our parents and our siblings. He would fall asleep on the couch and get carried to bed because he didn't like to be on his own. Profiles of all those who died He would often find his way into the end of somebody else's bed in the middle of the night, even up to the age of 14. The house was always well stocked with his favourite things - cornflakes, Kit Kats, bacon, mushrooms - a habit that proved hard for our mother to break, even after his death. As a child, Peter went to St Finbar's Nursery School and on to St Francis of Assisi Primary School and then on to St John Almond Secondary School. It was at school that he became interested in sports, swimming and playing football. He used to play with his brother Gerard for the Vale FC, a local team. Before joining Vale FC, he played for a team in Garston. He also played for his school team. Peter went to his first football game with his cousin, John Cooper, who was a steward at Liverpool. As we could not afford to pay for tickets, he went to quite a few games with John. He even went to Wembley with him one year. When he was 19, John told him he could be his second in command on the coach. Peter played football with our brother, Gerard, for the local team, which still holds an annual cup game in his memory and awards the Peter McDonnell cup at their presentation evenings. Peter supported Everton until the age of 11, when he changed teams to Liverpool Football Club because of Gerry. When he started going to watch football matches by himself, he used to go with one of his best friends, Paul, who was also an Everton supporter. This meant that they went both to Everton and Liverpool games together, supporting each other. His teachers commented that he was always a pleasant and willing student who was good with his hands. This was evident at home as he regularly took things to bits and put them back together. Gerard saved up for a watch once and, after he bought it, one day he came home from work to find that Peter had taken it apart. He told him he just wanted to see what it was like inside and he would put it back together. Even until the day he died, he was still taking things apart. There is still a Walkman that remains in pieces at our home. His passion was making things and building. He went to Old Swan Technical College and left with a City and Guilds Foundation in construction, studying industrial, social and environmental studies, industrial skills and practices, technology and science and communication studies. He also completed a youth training scheme in Riversdale College, learning bricklaying, tiling, plastering and joinery. After qualifying, Peter worked for several local builders and also travelled to South Wales to gain some building experience with his uncle. He aspired to have his own business and was eager to learn to drive so that he could get a van. I gave him an IOU for driving lessons towards his 21st birthday present. He never got to use it. As work dried up during the recession, he made his way to London to try and find employment. He got very homesick and would return home to visit, with regaling stories of what London was like and how there were homeless people living in Euston Station. On one such visit he returned to London with several old coats to give to the homeless as he was passing through the station. He was away from home for around six months and, whilst working in Southend-on-Sea, his friend was injured and they both returned home. At the time of his death, he had just secured a contract with Cruden Building & Construction, where Peter was employed at the time of his death. Peter was an outgoing, fun-loving person who always had lots of friends. He enjoyed socialising, going to the cinema, fishing, playing basketball and he loved music and was always going to see live bands. One of his favourite artists of the time was Peter Gabriel and he saved up to go and see him in concert. You knew when Peter was in the house. He was always lively and full of fun. He did impressions and joked about everything. He made everyone laugh. He was very close to his nieces. My daughter, Gemma, and I remained at the family home until Gemma was four years old before moving across the road, and Peter would take her to nursery and look after her for me whilst I was at work. He was really protective of her and she took his death very badly. He was also godfather to Patricia's daughter, Rachel. I remember Rachel was terrified of bare feet and every weekend at our house Peter would come down the stairs with no shoes on and she would scream. He used to tease her, but she was scared stiff. She still says that she can hear his feet coming down the stairs to this day. Every Saturday, Patricia would bring her three daughters to visit and Peter would play games with his nieces, having tea parties and giving piggyback rides. After his death, Peter has gone on to have nephews and great-nephews. Peter made a mark on people wherever he went. After he died, the house was never empty. Friends and neighbours came to pay their respects and stayed even after we had retired for the night. He was loved and he is severely missed. Napoli looked set to maintain their two-point lead until substitute Zaza's deflected 18-yard shot flew past away keeper Pepe Reina. Juve, who are bidding for a fifth straight Scudetto, have now won 15 successive league games. Napoli barely tested Gianluigi Buffon as their eight-match winning run ended. Relive Juve's dramatic win over their Serie A title rivals The visitors came closest to threatening when Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci's vital interception stopped Serie A's top scorer Gonzalo Higuain from making contact with a dangerous right-wing cross. Argentina international Higuain had scored 24 goals in his previous 24 league matches, helping Napoli become the league's most prolific attack. But, despite playing confidently and refusing to sit back, the visitors could not break down a Juventus defence that has only conceded 15 goals this season. Zaza was introduced for Spain striker Alvaro Morata shortly before the hour mark, eventually making the decisive impact to spark joyous celebrations among the home players and supporters. "I hope it's a decisive goal as far as the title race is concerned," said 24-year-old Italy international Zaza. "The good thing is it's now in our hands." The Royals are searching for a new manager after parting company with Brian McDermott on Friday. Former Serbia and Atletico Madrid winger Milinko Pantic is among those linked with the vacancy. "The big issue fans have got with Reading at the moment is nobody tells them what's going on," Gooding said. McDermott, 55, left the Championship club following a second spell in charge which lasted just five months. Former Manchester United and Netherlands defender Jaap Stam is also thought to be a candidate for the job. Gooding, who made more than 300 appearances for Reading, is concerned about the club's future direction. "The football club is like a swan, there's a lot going on below the surface that we don't know about," he told BBC Radio Berkshire. "The new owners have come in and they backed (former manager) Steve Clarke to a certain extent last summer, bringing lots of players in. "They (the supporters) just need someone who can speak and tell supporters what their vision is for the next few years." "This is Crusader-Arab treachery, a war on all Sunnis," read a placard at a recent protest in Syria against civilian casualties said to be the result of US air strikes. If bombing is killing some civilians, it is no surprise. Islamic State is a relatively small, irregular force, dispersed among the population. But more than that - in the conservative, rural Sunni Arab heartland, most of the IS fighters are local tribesmen. The jihadists are not some foreign blight. They grew out of the soil of Iraq and Syria. At the start, the Arab Spring and the promise of democracy seemed to make al-Qaeda, or its variants, irrelevant. But two years into Syria's civil war, I remember bumping into a senior officer with the Free Syrian Army (FSA), one of those touted by Western diplomats as a secular moderate. I learned later that he had just appeared on YouTube next to a notoriously bloodthirsty Chechen jihadist commander. "We kiss the hand that holds the trigger against Assad," he had declared. As the civil war ground on, the rebels began to change. Some I knew who had not seemed particularly religious started to pepper their conversation with quotes from the Koran. The explanation was partly that fighters who risked their lives every day, and saw death all around them, had rediscovered and strengthened their faith. They had also lost hope that serious Western help would ever come. Instead, they had turned to the jihadists, funded by rich patrons in the Gulf. One of those jihadist groups was the al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda's Syrian subsidiary, which is now being bombed along with Islamic State. We encountered them back in January 2013, just as they were emerging from the shadows. This feared and secretive group agreed to speak to us. I asked them whether the jihad would continue if a democratic Syria rejected their aim of establishing an Islamic state. "That will never happen," said a commander. "Syria is an Islamic country and people love Islam. They're fed up of secular regimes. It's impossible that they would reject Sharia." Well-funded, and well-organised, less inclined to the thievery and kidnapping practised by parts of the FSA, al-Nusra quickly became one of the strongest rebel groups. They began a bloody struggle over who would control Syria's revolution against the jihadists who now make up Islamic State. Other rebel groups - mostly from the FSA - sided with al-Nusra in that struggle and - this time last year - joined them in issuing "Communique No 1". That also broke with Syria's Western-backed political opposition, the National Coalition. Communique No 1 was a clear statement that the rebels were fighting for Sharia, not democracy. It was an evisceration of Western policy - increasingly, Western governments would find it difficult to identify rebel groups they could back in Syria's uprising. Meanwhile, there was a civil war within the civil war - a struggle between different groups of Islamists. Al-Nusra and the other rebel groups pushed Islamic State out of Aleppo and back to their headquarters of Raqqa. IS - ever flexible - turned to Iraq. There, Sunni grievances against the Shia-led government, had presented them with an opening. They seized it in June of this year when they took control of Iraq's second largest city, Mosul. I suspect that even IS was surprised by the speed and scale of the victory in Mosul. The immense corruption in the Iraqi security forces was partly to blame. And Shia soldiers did not want to fight for predominantly Sunni cities like Mosul or Tikrit, while many Sunnis viewed the Shia-led government in Baghdad as murderously sectarian. In Mosul, IS captured tonnes of weapons and ammunition, and hundreds of armoured vehicles and tanks. They also captured the propaganda initiative - young Sunnis flocked to the cause. In Syria, therefore, IS was able to go on the offensive once again. The jihadists are closing in, advancing along the main road to Kobane; the Kurds know they must stop them there or lose the town. The Kurds say that air strikes have not stopped IS from moving forces up to confront them. They are pleading for a more decisive Western intervention. Islamic State fighters filmed themselves on the road to Kobane happy and relaxed. They believe victory is within their grasp. Still, in Kobane, the US has a Kurdish infantry that can take advantage of air strikes. It may simply take more intensive strikes to tip the balance. Elsewhere in Syria, there are hundreds of Sunni Arab armed groups, many of them Islamist. Al-Nusra is talking about uniting with its old rival, Islamic State, and could take other rebel groups with them. For bombing to work in Syria, the US and other Western powers must find a reliable partner among the rebels groups. That is something they have struggled to do in three years of civil war. It is another reason why - as the politicians have warned - the struggle against Islamic State will be a long war. The 32-year-old returned home to attend the birth of his first child but will not fly back to England in time for the start of the series on Thursday. Team manager Mohammed Moosajee said: "The difficult nature of the delivery has delayed his return to the UK." Opener Dean Elgar will captain the side for the first time, while Du Plessis will rejoin the squad later this week. Theunis de Bruyn, who made his Test debut in March, or the uncapped Aiden Markram will replace the skipper. Seamer Vernon Philander has been cleared to play after missing the drawn warm-up fixture against England Lions with an ankle injury. South Africa are without pace bowler Dale Steyn, who has not recovered from a shoulder injury, and former captain AB de Villiers, who is taking a break from Test cricket. Du Plessis averages 44.92 with the bat in 40 Tests. The match is Joe Root's first since being appointed England Test captain. Visit this page for England team news. Caley Thistle edged into a deserved lead when Ross Draper towered above the home defence to head in Greg Tansey's free-kick after a goalless first half. Richard Foster's blistering finish looked to have given ineffectual St Johnstone a point out of the blue. But Meekings stabbed the ball over the line in a late goalmouth scramble. Richie Foran's side remain at the foot of the Scottish Premiership table, if only on goal difference behind Partick Thistle. Not that the rookie manager will be bothered about that after the sort of performance he was looking for following defeats in their first three league games. Media playback is not supported on this device Draper's fourth goal of the season, after 59 minutes, was no more than Caley Thistle deserved for the way they had gone about their work. Then they had to show real grit and determination to dig out the win once Foster scored his first for the Perth club with a stunning strike with 11 minutes remaining. Irishman Foran demanded the sort of character from his side that he showed as a player and they certainly responded positively. They were unrecognisable from the shambles of a side that were hammered by Hearts last week and played with an aggression and determination that pinned the visitors back for long spells in the first half. Unfortunately for the Highlanders, they came up against Alan Mannus at the top of his game as the Northern Ireland goalkeeper made a string of impressive saves. He denied Draper, Alex Fisher and Billy King in the opening period, while Fisher and Liam Polworth failed to make the most of the clearer chances created during that time. Of course, St Johnstone are masters of making a nuisance of themselves in such circumstances, but they squandered the best chance of the lot before the break. Danny Swanson was untouchable down the left as he made it to the bye-line, but Chris Kane failed to take advantage of the cutback as he skied the ball over when he should have scored. Media playback is not supported on this device Substitute Murray Davidson headed just wide in the second half, but Saints finally found the equaliser when Steven MacLean laid the ball back to Foster to lash home. Persistence paid off in the end for Caley Thistle, which is just as well as things don't get any easier for the Highlanders - it's Aberdeen away then Celtic at home in their next two matches. Inverness Caley Thistle manager Richie Foran: "From start to finish I thought we were excellent. Man for man we were excellent and we should have been two or three up at half time so that was the only disappointing part. "But I told the boys it wasn't quality that won the game, it was pure team spirit that they showed that got them the result. All over the park we were really good. "This sets us up nicely for Aberdeen after the break. If you don't get points on the table then the players and the fans can get a bit nervy so that was massive for us today." Foran gave newly signed French striker Lonsana Doubouya a few minutes' run-out as substitute and he hopes to make another two additions to the squad before the transfer window closes. St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright: "We did well to get back into the game but are disappointed that we contrived to let Inverness back into it after we got back to one each. "Near the end they put us under a lot of pressure with long throws and we gave away silly free kicks. You think we would have learnt our lesson from the first goal we lost. "They built up pressure and got a deserved winner in the end but it is only four games into the season and this is a difficult place to come. "We knew that their run couldn't continue much longer and we contributed to it because in the first half we didn't get to the pace of the game and didn't get enough balls in the box." Wright recently brought in Richard Foster to bolster his defence but the Perth club's manager doesn't think there will be any further signings done in this transfer window.

Thousands of civilians are believed to be trapped as pro-government forces battle rebels, with medical supplies, food and water scarce. Russia earlier blocked a UN "declaration of alarm" on Qusair. In Syria on Sunday, at least three people were reportedly killed by a car bomb in a Damascus suburb. The blast, in the district of Jobar, appeared to target a police station, according to the UK-based pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Reuters news agency quoted a Lebanese security source on Sunday as saying that at least 15 people were also killed in overnight fighting between Hezbollah fighters and Syrian rebel forces in Lebanon's eastern town of Baalbek. The casualties have not been independently verified. An opposition activist told the BBC on Friday that around 30,000 civilians were still in Qusair, which is close to the border with Lebanon. Rebel-held parts of Qusair are effectively blockaded by government forces and Hezbollah fighters. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement it was "alarmed" by reports of civilians trapped in Qusair and was prepared to enter the town immediately to deliver aid. Qusair's importance "Civilians and the wounded are at risk of paying an even heavier price as the fighting continues," said the head of the ICRC's operations in the region, Robert Mardini. The UN secretary general's office also appealed to the warring parties to allow residents to flee. The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says the fact that both the UN and ICRC have issued urgent statements at the same time is an indication of how desperate they believe the situation has become. However, a draft UN Security Council declaration, which was circulated by Britain, voicing "grave concern about the situation in Qusair, and in particular the impact on civilians of the ongoing fighting", was blocked by Russia. Council statements such as these must be agreed unanimously. A diplomat said Russia blocked the draft text because the UN had failed to speak out when Qusair was seized by rebels. Fighting in Qusair intensified last month with militants from Hezbollah joining forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad. Reinforcements from the rebel Free Syrian Army are reported to have managed to break through from the north-east to support the embattled rebel fighters. Some Lebanese Sunnis have also crossed into Syria to fight alongside the rebels, who are drawn largely from Syria's majority Sunni community. On Saturday, influential Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi called on Sunni Muslims from around the Middle East to join the battle against President Assad. He told a rally in Doha that Iran and Hezbollah, Mr Assad's main allies, wanted to exterminate Sunnis. Activists from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights say rebels in Qusair are bracing themselves for another assault. Fifteen Syrian army tanks have massed north of the town, says Rami Abdel Rahman, the observatory's director. "Regime forces are reinforcing the sites that they have north of the city, including Dabaa airport and Jawadiya," he said. Qusair, which lies 10 km from the Lebanese border, is considered a key logistical hub and supply route for weapons smuggled into Syria. The town is also located near the main road connecting the city of Homs to the Syrian capital Damascus. Hartlepool's Luke James fired the game's first chance wide, as they took the fight to the League Two leaders. Northampton had to rely on committed defending to keep the hosts at bay, with James and Billy Paynter having efforts blocked. Paynter went close to winning the game when his effort deflected wide but Northampton held on for a point. Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder tells BBC Radio Northampton: Media playback is not supported on this device "You have to give Hartlepool a load of credit because we are there to be shot at. "To win 10 games of football at any level is an unbelievable achievement. "It was a tough afternoon and I thought a draw was a fair result and we move on to the next game.

Charlene Colechin, 18, described how her organs failed, causing her "to die" until doctors managed to save her. The hair stylist, from near Chesterfield in Derbyshire, has been in hospital for a month and spent nine days in a medically induced coma. She still faces surgery to remove her toes and possibly her feet. Speaking from Sheffield Hospital, Miss Colechin said she felt lucky to be alive. "I was screaming because I was in that much pain," she said. "I kept throwing up, then I had a really bad headache like a migraine, and all my body was aching." Miss Colechin had bacterial meningitis - which is rarer but more serious than viral meningitis. She said she had been vaccinated, but the jab did not protect against the type of meningitis she had. Claire Donovan of Meningitis Now said the rash on Miss Colechin's body would have been caused by septicaemia, which some people get as a result of certain meningitis bacteria. Source: Meningitis Now Paramedics were called out on 6 September but thought the teenager had flu because she did not have any marks. However, her condition worsened and marks appeared the following day, when paramedics rushed her to hospital. "Within minutes I was on a drip in the ambulance on the way to Chesterfield Hospital," she said. "I was in a coma for nine days because all my organs were failing. "I did die but obviously they brought me back." She is now waiting for tests to see what parts of her feet will need to be amputated. "My heels are black," she said. "That could mean dead tissue, which could be infected and which could go up my legs." She hopes that sharing her photos will prevent other people from suffering the life-changing effects of the disease. London City was the worst hit, with dozens of flights to and from Europe and the UK affected. The airport said on Twitter at 11:30 BST that visibility had improved, but that flights may still be delayed. Heathrow said they had no delays caused by fog, while Gatwick said that the airport was "operating well". In Aberdeen, a number of flights to and from Shetland were delayed by up to four hours. Services from Aberdeen to Birmingham, Gatwick, and East Midlands were also affected. At least 13 flights from London City were cancelled, including those to Frankfurt, Basel, Amsterdam, Glasgow, and Milan Linate. Another 15 incoming flights were also cancelled, including arrivals from Zurich, Rotterdam, and Dublin. A number of services were delayed, while others - including a flight from New York - were diverted. Elsewhere in London, the Woolwich ferry service, which runs across the Thames, was suspended but reopened by 10.00 BST. The Met Office issued a weather warning on Tuesday morning across south-east England, East Anglia, and the East Midlands, saying visibility was under 100 metres in places. Brighter weather was forecast for the afternoon. In the Netherlands, two people died in a 150-car pile-up caused by fog in the morning rush hour. The accident happened between the southern cities of Goes and Middelburg, around 90 miles from Amsterdam. Lambert, 46, left Blackburn in May and is looking for his seventh managerial job since 2005. "I'll wait and see. I want to get into it again. I don't find it hard at all to get another job," the former Aston Villa and Norwich boss told BBC Sport. Lambert, a former Celtic and Borussia Dortmund midfielder, said clubs must "pick up the phone" to hire him. "It's quite seamless for myself," said Lambert about the process of finding another club. "I can only speak for myself, but I find it no bother at all. There are already one or two things I've looked at." There were 70 managerial changes across England's top four divisions this season, with a record 56 dismissals - exceeding the previous high of 53 in 2001-02. League Managers Association chief Richard Bevan descried the figures as "embarrassing". Lambert - who led Norwich to two consecutive promotions from League One to the Premier League in 2010 and 2011 - says he is looking for another challenge. He said: "I've worked at some great clubs, but you move on and try to find somewhere else to start a project." "I don't have any issues of going into a dressing room or taking a club on." Lambert, who won the Champions League with Dortmund in 1997, thinks his European experience will help him find work in the UK or overseas. "I'm lucky that I can pick up the phone and have a look at things abroad," said the Scot. "It depends when someone wants me. They've got to pick up the phone. I want to get into management again." United dethrone Real Madrid - who held top spot for 11 years - after accumulating a record revenue of 689m euros (£515m) during the 2015-16 term. The Premier League club saw commercial revenue grow by 100m euros (£71m). Combined revenue for the top 20 clubs during the 2015-16 season grew 12% to 7.4bn euros (£6.41bn) - a new record. It is the first time Manchester United have topped the annual Deloitte Football Money League since the 2003-04 season. Real drop down to third, behind Spanish rivals Barcelona, who remain in second spot. German giants Bayern Munich move up a position to fourth and Manchester City also climb a spot to fifth - having generated 524.9 euros (£392.6m) - up from 463.5 euros (£352.6m) during the previous season. It is the first time they have reached the top five of the annual list. Eight Premier League clubs make the top 20, with revenues totalling nearly 3.2bn euros (£2.4bn). Champions Leicester City (20th) enter the top 20 for the first time. They produced a revenue of 172m euros (£128m) - which is almost five times the revenue generated two seasons previously in 2013-14. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham remain in seventh, eighth, ninth and 12th place, with West Ham in 18th position. Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said Manchester United's record revenues were achieved by "phenomenal commercial revenue growth". He added: "In recent years, their ability to secure commercial partnerships with value in excess of that achievable by their peers has been the crucial factor in enabling the club to regain their place at the top of the money league. "That said, they'll face strong competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid to retain the top spot in next year's edition, due to the lack of Champions League football, the weakening of the pound against the euro and, over the longer term, as other clubs enter the commercial market demanding similar deals, using United as the precedent."

McInally, 26, has had to settle for a bench role so far this season despite starting Scotland's last two Tests, in Japan, when Ford was injured. But he will get a first start of the campaign away to Munster on Saturday. "I just have to respect the man I have ahead of me in the starting jersey at the moment," he told BBC Scotland. "I think the world of him. We get on really well and he has taught me a lot over the last few years, and not just about throwing or scrummaging. "I see how hard he works in terms of the extra stuff he does and how early he comes in to do his extra fitness or rehab. "I have realised that I needed to work as hard as that, if not harder. And it is hard to work harder than Ross, because he works exceptionally hard. "Certainly over the last couple of years I have upped my attention to the little things. I come in a bit earlier to do a bit extra here and there because I know the challenge there is to get ahead of him. "He has got 99 caps for his country, he is an exceptional player. But obviously I want that jersey, and I am just so eager to get out there and play." McInally has won nine Scotland caps in the last 13 months - six off the bench - after making the positional switch from flanker to hooker three years ago. Saturday's trip to Munster's atmospheric Thomond Park - a challenge he describes as "right up there" in Pro12 terms - brings back mixed emotions. "Playing there has been enjoyable, but sometimes it has been a nightmare as well," he recalls. Two years ago Alan Solomons' side earned a one-point victory at the storied stadium on the first day of the season, but McInally was not involved - on the field anyway. "I was helping with the commentary for BBC Alba, so I was admiring it from their studio, unfortunately." In 2012 McInally was in the back row when Edinburgh travelled there for a group fixture in the old Heineken Cup, the season after they reached the semi-finals. "I think we were 6-0 down at half-time, and taking it right to them," he said. "We ended up losing 33-0. It was awful. I hate those moments. That is what drives me and motivates me to play well because I hate losing. I will be doing everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen again." To avoid a repeat scenario on Saturday, McInally - who is co-captain of Edinburgh this season along with Grant Gilchrist - is in no doubt where the team's priorities lie after last Friday's disappointing home defeat by Leinster. "We just need to go there and put right the wrongs from last week," he added. "Our defence is nowhere near where we need to be as a standard - that has been made abundantly clear by Peter (Wilkins), our defence coach. "The players take that to heart and we've been working hard this week to get better. There has been a lot of chat, but the proof will be in the pudding when we get out there, and how we react. I just want us to be really, really physical, and then I will be happy." The 3,600-passenger vessel is the largest cruise ship designed specifically for the British holiday market, operator P&O said. It will bear the same name as the Queen's former Royal Yacht Britannia, which was decommissioned in 1997 after more than 50 years of service. The Queen will officially name the vessel in Southampton on 10 March. The 141,000-ton ship, which features a 94m (308ft) union jack on its bow, will then make its maiden voyage to Spain, Italy and France on 14 March. At 330m (1,082ft), it is longer than the Shard is tall. It will sail from Southampton during the summer and from the Caribbean in the winter. In its first year, the ship will visit 57 ports in 31 countries, sailing more than 90,000 miles. About $3bn being raised in the rights issue will cover the bank's turnaround costs. The restructuring was announced as the bank reported a "disappointing" third-quarter pre-tax loss of $139m for the three months to September. That compared with a profit of $1.5bn for the same period last year. Shares in Standard Chartered fell as much as 10% on Tuesday and were down 7% at 663.5p in late trading. The stock has fallen more than 30% this year. Revenue fell 18.4% to $3.68bn and losses on bad loans almost doubled to $1.23bn for the quarter. Analysts at Investec analysts described news the loss as "awful" given the expectation of a $903m profit, adding: "the worst aspect ... is a broad-based collapse in revenues". There was further bad news as Standard Chartered said it was the subject of two investigations by the Financial Conduct Authority relating to monitoring of sanctions and anti-money laundering compliance. The job cuts are part of a restructuring programme to take place over the next three years, but gave no details. The bank employs 86,000 people worldwide, but only about 1,800 in the UK. Bill Winters announced a strategic review of Standard Chartered when he took over as chief executive in June. He put a new management team in place the following month and eliminated 1,000 senior management roles. Analysts had been expecting the bank to seek additional capital to shore up its balance sheet and Mr Winters acknowledged the challenging business environment facing the bank. "This is ... an aggressive and decisive set of actions to fundamentally shore up the underpinnings of the bank," he said on a conference call. "We've tried to achieve a very high level of capitalisation to buffer ourselves against eventualities and we think we are very well capitalised to deal with any of the challenges that could come our way," Mr Winters added. The bank was co-operating fully with the two FCA investigations, the chief executive said. Standard Chartered remains under investigation by US authorities related to transactions involving Iranian clients. The bank was fined $667m in 2012 by US authorities to settle charges that it violated US sanctions by handling thousands of money transactions involving Iran, Myanmar, Libya and Sudan; and paid another $300m in August last year for failing to detect possible money-laundering. Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, told Radio 4's Today programme that banks were being compelled to have bigger buffers to withstand future fiscal shocks - especially in Asia where banks such as Standard Chartered and HSBC were particularly exposed. His concern was that Standard Chartered was "way behind the curve" on cutting costs. At the bottom of page 8 of the voluminous slide pack presentation offered to investors this morning by Standard Chartered is this telling sentence: "The Bank of England will publish the results of its 2015 stress tests on 1 December, including the results for the group, the outcome of which is unknown to the company and not yet finalised." The Bank's work is focused on what could happen in the event of a significant collapse in the Chinese economy and a subsequent global downturn. Its effect will be most acute on the UK's two banks most focused on the Asian market: HSBC and Standard Chartered. Bill Winters, the Standard Chartered chief executive, appears keen to get his capital raising punch in first. He has also made it clear he wants Standard Chartered to compete on international renminbi trading, which the bank believes will become a reserve currency up against the US dollar. Mr Winters has moved before the Bank of England sticks its weighty oar in. Growing regulatory costs and controls in the wake of the financial crisis have weighed on big lenders in the UK, US and Australia. Standard Chartered has already shed some businesses, in Hong Kong, China and Korea, to help improve its capital position. Among the plans announced on Tuesday, Standard Chartered said it would invest more than $1bn to reposition its retail banking, private banking and wealth management businesses, as well as upgrade its Africa franchise and yuan services. The rights issue had the backing of Temasek, Singapore's state investment firm and Standard Chartered's largest shareholder. Hugh Young, managing director at Aberdeen Asset Management, the bank's second-biggest shareholder, said: "[There is] still a lot of hard work to put in but the path is clear." The rights issue, Standard Chartered's first since 2010, will be launched on Tuesday at a price of 465p a share - a 35% discount to its closing price on Monday. Two new shares will be issued for every seven existing shares. The bank has also axed the final dividend for this year to conserve cash. The 34-year-old was a free agent following his departure from National League side Forest Green Rovers. The former Hull and Preston frontman spent 18 months at Cardiff, where he scored two goals in 15 appearances before leaving in 2012. "Returning to the Football League was a big bonus for me," he told Newport's website. "I wanted at least another season at this level to challenge myself and hopefully I can score plenty of goals for the team. "Straight after speaking with Warren [Feeney, Newport's manager] I was interested in signing here and I'm glad that we have managed to get everything signed and over the line." The march started at 13:00 BST at Clerkenwell Green and has reached Trafalgar Square. The union Unite said trade unionists, pensioners, students and political bodies had come together. Rail Maritime and Transport union leader Bob Crow died aged 52 on 11 March; Mr Benn died three days later. The former cabinet minister and veteran left-wing campaigner was aged 88. The London May Day Organising Committee said it was paying "special honour to our two lost comrades [who] were staunch supporters of our May Day." Tony Lennon, chief steward of the committee, said: "This year's London May Day presents a huge opportunity for the trade unions and the community to both pay tribute to the massive contribution made by Bob Crow and Tony Benn to the fight for workers' rights, and to send out a clear message that the battle goes on." BBC London's Marc Ashdown, who is at the march, said the unions told him more than 10,000 people had attended. It took until midway through the second half for the hosts to get ahead, Craig Moore netting on the rebound after Ryan Stevenson's free-kick had been saved. Jamie McCormack headed Stenny level but the visitors then had Alan Cook dismissed for two bookings. Stuart Malcolm's own goal put Ayr back ahead and strikes by Stevenson and Alan Trouten completed their victory. The warning has been issued after nine sheep were killed in Afonwen, near Mold, Flintshire, on Monday. PC Dave Allen, of the force's Rural Crime Unit, said: "This sort of thing is happening all the time now in north Wales." He urged dog owners to "take responsibility" of their dogs and encouraged farmers to report attacks. Since September 2013, there are believed to have been about 260 dog attacks on livestock in north Wales. PC Allen explained that in more than 100 of these cases, police have identified "particular breeds of concern" - huskies and German Shepherds. Referring to Monday's attack, he said: "The sheep had their ears bitten off and puncture wounds to their neck. "The issue in this case is we don't know who the dog is, so there's a good chance farmers could become a victim of another attack. "It's a tremendous worry to farmers. This is their livelihood." Dog owners need to "be aware of their dogs' needs, have it under control in public places, and always use a dog lead", he added. The woman, who has not been named but is believed to be in her 50s, was found at a property in the city's Holmfield Avenue at 09:30 GMT. Detectives are conducting house-to-house inquiries and approach roads have been closed while forensics teams examine the scene. Those arrested are being held on suspicion of murder. The man - who has not been named but is thought to be in his 60s or 70s - was found late on Friday evening on Austin Close in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Fire ripped through the home on Wednesday which made the building dangerously unstable and had to be dismantled to search for the occupant. Police and the fire service are investigating the cause of the blaze. Neighbours said a man lived in the house with two dogs. It was the second death in the same week in Nottinghamshire after a man was found dead in a fire in nearby Hucknall on Wednesday. It prompted the fire service to carry out safety advice sessions. Joseph Tsang, 32, from Oxford, fled to Hong Kong before his trial and was convicted in August last year at Oxford Crown Court of two counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault. He did not begin his sentence until February when he returned to the UK. Lawyers argued the Chinese national's sentence was too tough, but it has been upheld at London's Appeal Court. Mr Justice Jeremy Baker told the court Tsang, who was an IT worker, was also a "well-known'" ice skater who used social media to contact two teenage girls - who were aged 14 and 15 at the time. He raped one of his victims in Hampshire. Tsang, who was arrested in Hong Kong in September 2015, was also convicted of other sexual offences earlier that year, including three counts of sexual activity with a child under 16. These offences happened in Oxford. Judge Patrick Eccles, who sentenced Tsang, described him as "a predatory man with an unhealthy sexual fascination with adolescent girls". "We are satisfied that the sentence of 15 years properly reflects Tsang's sexual criminality in respect of these two vulnerable girls," Mr Justice Jeremy Baker concluded. The Standard gave me permission and, because Radio Solway's opening actually fell on a Friday, I featured on the very first programme transmitted from the Dumfries studio. My contribution was pre-recorded the night before and I remember listening to it in bed with my head under the covers, somewhat mortified by hearing my voice on the radio for the first time. You get used to it. Less than a year later, I joined the BBC first as producer, then as senior producer from 1989 to 1993. The main daily programme was Solway Report, an all-speech news magazine intended to reflect Good Morning Scotland from which it opted out between 07:30 and 08:00. At lunchtime we did a shorter 10-minute news bulletin, followed by a feature programme of 50 minutes which changed each day. These included the rural affairs programme Country Matters, an arts magazine called Spotlight Tuesday and the end-of-the-week music request show Friday Call-Out. One of the most popular lunchtime programmes we ever did came about largely by accident after someone donated a large quantity of old 78 LPs. They weren't really of a good enough sound quality to play in a normal record show, but I got William Williamson and the late Davie Shankland to build a nostalgia programme around them and called it And That Reminds Me. It was a great success with listeners. We had a lot of autonomy from the powers-that-be in Glasgow and were allowed pretty much to get on with what we wanted, within reason. Often this involved great invention and stretching meagre resources to breaking point and beyond. Examples included Children in Need nights when we embarked on some pretty ambitious outside broadcasts using what little equipment we could assemble, and masses of goodwill from all involved. We persuaded entertainers like Alasdair Macdonald and Bill McCue to come and appear for nothing as well as local singers and bands. Technically, these programmes were held together for hours on end with little more than sticky tape and string, but they were great fun to do. On the news front, we also did local election specials. I particularly remember one district council result programme anchored by Gary Robertson, now one of the mainstays on Good Morning Scotland. We went on air at either nine or ten in the evening just as votes were starting to be counted. We had reporters at each of the district count centres in Annan, Dumfries, Kirkcudbright and Stranraer and Gary also had a studio panel representing the political parties. The plan had been to intersperse the election news with a smattering of records to give everyone's tonsils a rest and to help fill in the gaps between results. However, such was Gary's ability to "gab" that he somehow kept it going as a speech-only programme until about twenty to one the following morning when we were still waiting for one outstanding result from either Stewartry or Wigtown which had been recounted several times. At that point Gary did eventually run out of words and had to resort to playing a disc. Things changed in 1993 when Radio Scotland's then head of radio James Boyle decided to reduce the amount of local programming around the country and redirect some of the resources involved in making it towards the national service. That sparked a huge and very vociferous local campaign to "Save Radio Solway" which was ultimately unsuccessful and probably proved counter-productive in the long run. When local programmes were withdrawn in February 1993, a lot of people thought it meant the BBC was withdrawing from Dumfries altogether, which was not the case. What was lost from the output was the voluntary "community" element. The staff remained at Lover's Walk, but in changed roles. Twenty years on we are STILL here providing three things: local radio news for Dumfries and Galloway (daily opt-outs at 0654, 0750, 1254 and 1654); online local news on the South of Scotland Website; and news from the region for network programmes. Back in 1993, I became the regional radio reporter providing news from Dumfries and Galloway for programmes such as Good Morning Scotland and Newsdrive. Later, my role was extended to include TV and I started appearing on Reporting Scotland. Later still, the job changed technically as well so that now I self-shoot most stories with my own camera and edit them myself on a laptop. Changed days! Without doubt the biggest story we ever dealt with during the 30 years was the Lockerbie Disaster. It was still in the days of Radio Solway and, as well as telling the news of what happened and the aftermath, we provided a vital information link between the authorities and the community. It may have happened in 1988, but Lockerbie has never gone away as a story and remains in the headlines today as the 25th anniversary approaches. In 1995, I was privileged to go to America for the dedication of the Lockerbie memorial in Arlington cemetery and got to know some of the bereaved relatives on their "patch". The hospitality and kindness shown me will never be forgotten. Then, in 2000 and 2001, I spent a considerable time at Camp Zeist in the Netherlands covering the trial and subsequent appeal of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Apart from Lockerbie issues, the start of this millennium was an incredibly busy news time in Dumfries and Galloway with the Solway Harvester fishing disaster in January 2000 and the foot and mouth outbreak in February 2001. These stories both ran for several months and were far-reaching in their impact. Thirty years on I think the triple role fulfilled by the news staff in Dumfries is a very vital one, appreciated by viewers, listeners and online readers. Despite budget restraints, the BBC in Scotland has remained committed to its local output and having regional reporters round the country to ensure it remains a truly national network. Barbara Phipps, 73, of Lynsted, Kent, died in the collision on the A2 London Road in Teynham on 13 February 2016. William Magee, 59, had denied causing her death by dangerous driving and was due to stand trial later this month. He admitted the lesser charge of causing death by careless driving at Maidstone Crown Court on Thursday and will be sentenced on 3 March. Magee, of Readers Court, in Chelmsford, Essex, had also been charged with failing to stop, but was told by prosecutors the charge would be dropped. The 62-year-old Villa legend has been lined up to join the board, along with former Manchester City chairman David Bernstein, reports BBC WM. They are to become the latest boardroom appointments by chairman Steve Hollis, who brought in Lord Mervyn King in February. The Premier League's bottom club have yet to confirm the appointments. But it is understood that confirmation will arrive in the coming days. The moves mark a step towards a more football-orientated board, following on from the appointment of Lord King, the former governor of the Bank of England and a Villa supporter. He was the first to be brought in by Birmingham businessman Hollis. Little was a player for a decade at Villa Park, winning one cap for England before injuries wrecked his career. He then made a successful return to the club as manager between 1994 and 1998, leading them to the League Cup (in 1996) and twice achieving top-five finishes for the club, who have been part of the Premier League since it was formed in 1992. Bernstein, 72, became chairman of the FA in 2011, a role he has also filled for Wembley Stadium Limited since 2008. Villa are currently bottom of the Premier League, eights points clear of safety, ahead of Sunday's home date with Tottenham Hotspur. "Steve Hollis has acted to bring in some much-needed football experience and knowledge into the boardroom. "The club has slumped to the foot of the Premier League table after spending upwards of £50m last summer on players whose potential was never realised on the field for then manager Tim Sherwood and current boss Remi Garde. "Little is fondly remembered at Villa Park, both as player and manager - he's still the last manager to win a trophy, beating Leeds United to win the League Cup in 1996, so his input will be both invaluable and warmly greeted by the fans. "David Bernstein is no stranger to being involved with a struggling big club, having been at Maine Road when Manchester City were in the third tier of English football. His involvement with Wembley and as chairman of the FA further underline his credentials as a football administrator of the highest calibre. "The news is sure to be widely welcomed by the fans around Villa Park who have had very little to cheer about this season and marks a change in direction that can only work in Villa`s favour over the coming months." Media playback is not supported on this device Hal Robson-Kanu's late winner saw Wales win their first major tournament match in 58 years 2-1 and earn their first victory in the European Championship. "Our fans are the best in the world. It was like a home game - they fully got behind us and we gave them something to celebrate," said Gareth Bale. "It was a historic moment for our country, a massive moment." Real Madrid forward Bale gave Wales the lead with a free-kick on 10 minutes and says the victory "ranks right up there" in his career highlights. He added: "We are taking it one game as it comes. Now it is on to England. We keep fighting on." Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen agreed that the fans had helped to inspire Chris Coleman's men. "The fans made all the difference," Allen told BBC Sport. "This was the type of performance our fans have come to expect from us. "They were incredible - they carried us through so much, especially at the end. "Our fans stayed with us and it helped us find that extra five or 10% that makes all the difference." But Allen, who made his Wales debut in 2009, warns nothing has been achieved yet. "Our focus is on making sure complacency doesn't creep in before our next game," he said. Match-winner Robson-Kanu insists the players are not looking beyond the next game. "We are focusing on ourselves. It is about what we can do. England is next and we are fully focused on that." The venue, which opened six years ago, will receive a £100,000 prize from The Art Fund as well as the kudos that comes with winning the annual award. The Art Fund director Stephen Deuchar said it had been "a powerful force of energy from the moment it opened". Tate Modern had been nominated after a year in which it attracted a record 5.8 million visitors and opened a new wing. But that was not enough to earn it the award at a ceremony at the British Museum in London on Wednesday. The other nominees were the Lapworth Museum of Geology in Birmingham, Sir John Soane's Museum in London and the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art in Suffolk. The Hepworth, which is named after sculptor Barbara Hepworth, impressed the judges by increasing its visitor numbers by 21% and launching a major new award for British sculpture last year, among other things. Mr Deuchar praised the way the gallery had "kept growing in reach and impact" since it opened in a £35m building designed by David Chipperfield in 2011. He also complimented the "determined originality" of the curatorial team, and said it served its local community "with unfailing flair and dedication". Last year saw it stage exhibitions of painter Stanley Spencer, photographer Martin Parr and art-pop installationist Anthea Hamilton. So far this year, it has had an exhibition curated by designer Jonathan Anderson, who brought together the worlds of fashion and sculpture. And it has just opened a show focusing on the late painter Howard Hodgkin's fascination with India. It also recently took receipt of 50 artworks donated by collector and former BBC radio news journalist Tim Sayer, while a 65,000 sq ft (6,000 sq m) riverside garden is due to be created in its grounds. The Museum of the Year prize is the largest single arts prize in the UK. Last year's winner was the V&A in London. The Art Fund aims to reward an institution that has shown "exceptional imagination, innovation and achievement across the preceding 12 months".

Parliament has been dissolved, meaning MPs no longer hold their offices. Prime Minister David Cameron met the Queen, formally marking the end of the coalition government. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg also met the monarch in his role as Lord President of the Council. On the campaign trail: Follow Monday's political action on our live page. David Cameron is to claim a Labour government would increase the tax bill for working families by more than £3,000, The Times reports. The newspaper also runs with claims from the Institute For Fiscal Studies that Labour could still be borrowing as much as £30bn by the end of the next Parliament. The Guardian writes that Ed Miliband, in an attempt to woo the business community, will warn later than an EU referendum would lead to a bitter campaign and the Conservatives tearing themselves apart. The Financial Times says the Labour leader sees his pro-EU stance as the best way to defuse "business hostility" to his party. The Telegraph reports that one of Labour's top donors has praised Mr Cameron's economic policies and said plans to reintroduce the 50p tax rate risked "alienating" some voters. Downing Street was a hot topic as we waited for David Cameron to emerge - but it was a fox chasing a duck outside Number 10 that had people tweeting. The BBC's Rebecca Keating wondered if it was UKIP ramping up their "fox in the Westminster hen house" line... The Green Party also garnered some attention after releasing their own mug in response to a Labour vessel carrying their "Controls on immigration" pledge that got a lot of criticism at the weekend. Meanwhile, three #GE2015 stories have been trending on Facebook: Reality TV star Katie Hopkins vowing to leave the UK if Labour win; a combative interview by the BBC's Andrew Neil with Labour campaign co-ordinator Lucy Powell; and a satirical mash-up video by Cassetteboy that takes aim at Mr Cameron, George Osborne and Nigel Farage. Elsewhere, Labour released its first election broadcast - featuring actor Martin Freeman - on YouTube. "Together we are turning our country round and for your sake, for your family's sake, for the sake of your children and their future, we must see this through together." Conservative leader David Cameron "It is a recipe for two years of uncertainty in which inward investment will drain away, two years of uncertainty in which businesses will not be able to plan for the future, and two years of wasted opportunities for progress, for profit, for prosperity: a clear and present danger to British jobs, British business, British families and British prosperity." Labour leader Ed Miliband on Conservative plans to hold a referendum on EU membership "Unless they're going to tell us exactly how they're going to do it, then I'm afraid we're left having to guess." Conservative chairman Grant Shapps on his party's claim Labour would raise taxes for working families by £3,028 "I think there is a real space in this campaign, which I obviously hope the Liberal Democrats will fill, for the reasoned centre ground." Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg "I'm a straight-talking person, I'm honest - UKIP are not going to win the general election. But you know what? No-one is going to win the general election." Nigel Farage, UKIP leader "The Westminster establishment have had things their own way for far too long - it's time for Scotland to lead progressive politics across the whole UK by voting SNP." What happens if no party wins an overall majority on 7 May? Our correspondent Ross Hawkins has been taking a look, with the aid of some eye-catching graphics. Wynne, a member of the BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy, made his debut off the bench in the Warriors' opening Pro12 match at Connacht. He has featured in 10 games in the current campaign, making four starts. Fellow Academy flanker Matt Smith, also 20, has been given a one-and-a-half-year deal with the club until May 2018. Smith, who plays for Glasgow Hawks in the Premiership but has yet to make his Warriors debut, has scored three tries in nine appearances for Scotland's U20s. After their back-to-back European Champions Cup victories over racing 92, Glasgow are preparing for their Pro12 derby against Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Boxing Day. Using a tiny video camera, the researchers were able to capture images of the burial chamber in Palenque in south-eastern Mexico. As the device was lowered 16ft (5m) down into the tomb, they saw red paint and black figures emblazoned on its walls. The scientists say the images will shed new light on the Mayan civilisation. The tomb in Palenque was discovered in 1999 and then filmed using a tiny camera lowered on a pole, but archaeologists have not been able to excavate for fear of undermining the pyramid. Palenque was a Mayan city-state in what is now Mexico's Chiapas state, but after its decline during the 8th Century AD it was absorbed into the jungle. It has been extensively excavated, in particular over the past two decades, but much of it remains to be uncovered. Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (Inah) said its archaeologists had been aware of the tomb for more than a decade, but had not been able to examine it. "Its difficult location and the work to consolidate the plinth had until now impeded penetration into the enclosure, which jealously guards the remains of a very important person from this ancient Mayan city," Inah said in a statement. It said that the researchers overcame the difficulties by lowering the remote-controlled camera the size of a matchbox down along a narrow shaft into the largely intact chamber. Inside, the camera revealed nine black figures painted on blood-red walls, along with jade and shell fragments, which are believed to be part of a funerary costume. But unlike in other tombs in Palenque, no sarcophagus has been found. "It is very probable that the fragmented bones are lying directly on the stones of the floor," Inah said. Experts say the tomb probably dates to between AD431 and 550, and could belong to the first ruler of Palenque - K'uk Bahlam I. Another theory is that it could even belong to Ix Yohl Ik'nal, the city's early female ruler. Archaeologist Martha Cuevas said the tomb's proximity to other burial sites suggested it may be part of a royal necropolis. Correction 28 June 2011: To make it clear it is not the first time the tomb has been filmed. The man is the 13th migrant to die trying to get to Britain since late June, and the fourth in 10 days. The man's nationality is not confirmed, although the BBC has been told by people in the migrant camps in Calais he was Eritrean. A spokesman for Eurotunnel said a man was found unconscious beside the tracks at 01:00 BST on the French side. A train driver was receiving "psychological support", he added. "This is another very regrettable incident and shows how dangerous it is to try and cross the tunnel illegally," he said. On Tuesday it was reported that a 20-year-old Iraqi man had been found dead in a UK-bound lorry. Last week, a teenager, thought to be from east Africa, was killed by a freight train near the Channel Tunnel entrance in Calais. Days earlier a man died when he was electrocuted at the tunnel entrance. The situation in Calais is part of a wider migrant crisis across Europe, with huge numbers of people heading north from the Mediterranean.

Tattoo artist Marcus Kuhn said he set up the shop using his life savings and has no money left to rebuild his studio. Police said the fire began at about 03:15 BST on Wednesday in Cork Place. "I'm gutted as we don't have insurance yet as we have been open for 11 days and had been waiting for the insurance to come through," Mr Kuhn said. "I was told by police that somebody poured petrol through the front door, smashed the windows, poured more petrol into the shop and set it on fire." Mr Kuhn said he was told by police the fire burned for about 45 minutes before it was reported. The tattoo artist had recently returned to the UK after 32 years in the States due to his father being ill. Mr Kuhn, who had been part of the world-famous Fun City in New York, said he had spent about £15,000 on the Bath parlour. "I built it all myself, put in new hospital floors, re-plastered the walls, and now the windows are destroyed, the doors are destroyed, most of the equipment is destroyed," he said. "I'm a very spiritual and positive person... I'm not going to be brought down by this, but I am going to try and get some help from the community about this because I really am at the end of my rope."

A tattoo parlour in Bath has been damaged in an apparent arson attack 11 days after opening.

The LÉ William Butler Yeats took four hours to rescue the migrants off Tripoli, before providing food and medical treatment. The rescued migrants were then transferred to the Italian Coast Guard. It was the new vessel's first humanitarian search and rescue mission since being deployed on 14 July. On the same day a government motion was passed in the Dáil (Irish parliament) to allow the Irish Defence Forces to join in on Operation Sophia in response to the EU's ongoing migrant crisis. The multilateral EU navy operation was set up in 2015, aimed at targeting vessels to stop gangs from human trafficking, mainly through Libya. Opposition politicians criticised the move, saying the the change of status had implications for Irish neutrality. Irish operations in the area, under Operation Pontus, have been based on a bilateral arrangement with the Italian government, saving almost 16,000 migrants in the southern Mediterranean during the last two years. Sunday's rescue was part of this operation, but the LÉ William Butler Yeats's commander said the crew was "totally prepared" if it needed to switch to the new operation mid-mission. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was forced to defend the change in Irish strategy, after Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) criticised Ireland's participation in the operation it describes as "military focused". "People from as far away as Afghanistan and southern Africa are travelling to Libya where there are human traffickers making an absolute fortune," Mr Varadkar was quoted as saying by The Irish Times. "So I think it is the right thing that we should disrupt that human trafficking, and also rescue refugees and migrants where they need that help." The EU's Operation Sophia began in June 2015, but doubt has been cast on how effective it has been in disrupting people-smuggling across the Mediterranean. More than 94,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy so far this year, according to the UN. But more than 2,370 people have died trying.

An Irish navy vessel rescued 109 migrants off Libya's coast on Sunday, following a request from the Italian Maritime Rescue Co-Ordination Centre.

Resuming day two on 71-0, Notts lost regular wickets and had slumped to 175-6 when Alex Hales was out for 85. However Read fought back with his 137-ball knock to take the visitors to 330 all out, a first innings lead of 61. Worcestershire then lost four wickets, including stand-in skipper Alex Gidman for 21, as they closed on 115-4. After England opener Hales was bowled by Jack Shantry, Notts still trailed by 94 with just four wickets in hand. But Read's innings, which included 12 fours and a six, along with Ben Hutton's 40 and a rapid 38 from Jake Ball gave the away side a slender advantage. Hutton then did the damage early in Worcestershire's second innings, taking two of the four wickets to fall, but teenager Joe Clarke (43 not out) and Ross Whiteley (22 not out) steadied things with a stand of 47. Margaret McGuckin, of Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse, said the inquiry should not be "prolonged". The first minister and deputy first minister are to recommend a one year extension to the NI Executive. A decision is not expected until the autumn. The extension request was made by Sir Anthony Hart, chairman of the HIA inquiry. If the extension is granted, the HIA report may not be published until January 2017. The extension will require an amendment to the terms of reference of the inquiry, which will be brought before the NI Assembly. However, Ms McGuckin said victims could be compensated as soon as possible. "I don't think there is any need for this extra year, but, if there is, and they want to change the terms of reference, then they can change the terms of reference to set up a board and levels of redress and compensation right now," she said. "I have a brother and he is mentally ill because of what happened to him and in a care home at this time. "He's not well., he's ill, he wants to get a life and he needs to be compensated for the years of sexual and physical abuse that were meted out to him. "We cannot wait another two or three years." She added: "We're sitting around here waiting and everybody else is getting well paid while they do a job. A good job at that. "But the inquiry wasn't supposed to be prolonged and all these millions and millions are being paid out for the inquiry when it could be coming to the victims." Sir Anthony Hart, chairman of the inquiry, said he made the extension request to Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness with "considerable reluctance". He said: "However, on the basis of our experience to date, we are now in a position to calculate how many sitting days it will take to call all the witnesses who wish to give evidence from every institution, and each individual whom we will, or will probably, investigate. "Should our request for an extension of one year be granted, we will of course continue to make every effort to complete our work in a shorter time should that be possible." OFMDFM said the inquiry chairman made a "very persuasive and compelling case for a one year extension". "We do not underestimate the complexities of dealing with institutional abuse. "We must ensure that the inquiry provides every opportunity for those impacted by the allegations of institutional abuse to be heard in an open forum." The HIA inquiry's public hearings began on 13 January in Banbridge, County Down. It is the biggest child abuse public inquiry ever held in the UK, having been contacted by more than 400 people who said they were abused in childhood. Its aim is to establish if there were "systemic failings by institutions or the state in their duties towards those children in their care". It will also determine if victims should receive an apology and compensation. The inquiry was established as a result of a campaign for justice, which gathered momentum in 2009 following the damning findings of a similar institutional abuse inquiry in the Republic of Ireland. Conor McColl, 16, from Clacton in Essex, disappeared at a former Fuller's earth quarry in Clophill, Bedfordshire on 24 July while swimming with friends. Ampthill Coroner's Court heard that traces of cannabis in his blood did not contribute to his death. Coroner Tom Osborne ruled Connor's death misadventure. The court heard Conor and two friends were swimming towards an island in the middle of a lake. Despite his friends' efforts, they were unable to save the teenager, the court was told. The fire service rescued two teenage boys from the island on 24 July and police divers recovered Conor's body the following day. "I am a carthorse," says BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood. "You know there is normally a comedy figure - that's me." She is convinced that she will be the first celebrity voted off the show. "I've resigned myself to that fact already," she says, laughing. Kirkwood already seems to have formed a double act with Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell, as both have struggled in the training session where they were taught a number of different dance steps. "Daniel and I were at the back looking at each other. The cha-cha-cha was like a what-what-what? It was a nightmare," she says. "You know those races that you put ducks into water and they float away - my duck was just stuck," says O'Donnell. The singer admits he is feeling "excited and terrified" despite years performing on stage. "I think the hardest thing is to let yourself go on the dance floor. I don't do that easily," he explains. With a loyal army of fans, it is expected that O'Donnell will stay in the show for a long time. "I hope they keep me a while anyway but I think at the end of the day that the dancing wins out in the end." The bookies' favourite to take home the glitterball trophy this year is singer Peter Andre - something he is not happy about. "That is the worst pressure anyone could ever have," he says. "It's so nice but it is such [pressure] - you can't stuff up once." And he points out bookies are not basing their odds on having seen any of them dance on the show. "That'll all change once we start dancing and even if you're good at one style of dancing, this is a different world for everyone." Singer Jamelia, however, is not having any of his modesty, admitting she's been "getting him mixed up with the professionals". "He is a fantastic dancer - I don't know why he's playing it down." Jamelia says her dancing is "the family joke" and despite Carol's belief she is like a carthorse on the dancefloor Jamelia believes the standard of dancing this year is pretty good. "When we were rehearsing, I thought that there would be obviously amazing people and obvious clangers but there were no clangers, so that gets you a lot more nervous. "I don't think anyone's automatically safe. I think we're all going to have to work our butts off." Professional boxer Anthony Ogogo faces a bigger struggle than most as he has had to rehearse with his arm in a sling. He is still recovering from an operation after injuring it in a fight. He took advice from his surgeon, doctor and physio before signing up and says he will be out of the sling for the first live shows. "It's hard," he admits, "but as an athlete you've got to work around stuff. I've had 200 fights in my career and probably about 10 of them I've walked into the ring 100%." Both Kellie Bright from EastEnders and Helen George from Call The Midwife will need to find time to rehearse while filming their shows. However, George admits the thing she is struggling with most is being herself. "I find it really intimidating not being in character. I'm getting sweaty palms just thinking about it. "We practised the bit where they introduce you for the first time and we walk down the stairs and Kirsty [Gallacher] turned round and I was just stood there doing nothing saying, 'Someone take me home.'" Entering the Strictly world sees the stars dressing up in clothes they would probably never normally wear, which has caused a few issues for some of them. "I actually put two legs in one hole of my leotard," admits sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher. "I said, 'Please say I'm not the first to do that' and they said, 'No, Kirsty, you're not'." "They are good at convincing you," says Countryfile presenter Anita Rani. "God knows how they managed to get me into the dress I'm wearing. "It's a bondage number, it's just straps. This bit of my arse is actually on display," she says pointing to her side. "It's never seen daylight before." "I guess I've been Strictly-fied." Athlete Iwan Thomas, however, did not need any persuasion when it came to his outfits. "I fully went in saying I need it brighter and tighter and with more sparkly bits." And he has a plan. "Week one it's Lycra, very fitted and the trousers are tight. "Week two I'm hoping to unzip a bit and week three it's off. "If I'm still in, I might have one of those wardrobe malfunctions and rip it off. "I think you have to embrace the outfits - you've got to embrace everything about Strictly as it's the chance of a lifetime." Strictly Come Dancing starts on BBC One on Saturday night at 19.15 BST. Maj James Bowman, Lt Neal Turkington and Cpl Arjun Purja Pun died in a suspected premeditated attack by an Afghan National Army member. Maj Bowman was shot as he slept. His comrades were shot in their command centre, where four others were injured. The inquest in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, concluded that there was no evidence of failure to properly protect the men. Wiltshire coroner David Ridley said: "I am satisfied that all three were killed as a result of the actions of the member of the Afghan National Army (ANA)." The inquest heard that Sgt Talib Hussein, 23, of the ANA, shot Maj Bowman, 34, from Salisbury, Wiltshire, dead in his sleeping quarters in Patrol Base 3 (PB3) in Nahr-e Saraj district, near Helmand's capital, Lashkar Gah. Using an Afghan-issue light machine gun, an M16 rifle and a grenade launcher, he then fired into the base's command centre, killing Lt Turkington, 26, from Craigavon, Northern Ireland, and Cpl Pun, 33, from Nepal, before escaping. Post-mortem examinations found all three soldiers had died from gunshot wounds, the inquest was told. By Nick HighamBBC News The key question facing the inquest was this: had the army done all it could to protect the men from the risks posed by the Afghan National Army soldiers with whom they were embedded at Patrol Base 3 in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand? Their commanding officer, Lt Col Strickland, told the inquest the external threats posed by Taliban insurgents were far greater than the threat from inside the base, and that his men would have been at greater risk if they had not sought to build mutual trust and respect in partnership with the Afghan National Army. The inquest heard there had been friction between the British and Afghan troops, including a row over bottled water following which the Gurkhas' Hindu temple was vandalised. But Maj Bowman, the base commander, had not been concerned. And the inquest was told that nothing about the assailant himself, Talib Hussein, remotely suggested that he posed a risk. The coroner concluded there was no evidence of any systematic failure by the army in its duty to protect its soldiers while they were on a British base. Mr Ridley accepted the Army had a duty to protect those on the base under the European Convention for Human Rights but said he saw no evidence it had failed to do so. "One must guard against hindsight," he said. "In this case the possibility of an ANA attack was known but it was never perceived at any level, either by those based at PB3 or higher up, as a real risk, an actual risk." Speaking of Hussein, Mr Ridley said: "The general perception was that he was a quiet individual but (he) had the respect of those with the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf)." He was one of the better members of the ANA, with nothing to suggest he posed a safety risk, the coroner said. After the inquest, Lt Turkington's father, Ivor, said he was pleased at the judge's acknowledgement of the Army's duties in relation to the human rights of personnel on bases outside the UK. The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission had backed him in raising the point. Its director Virginia McVea said the ruling would have a "major impact" on future inquests. "It ensures a fuller investigation where there is a suggestion of systemic failures to protect soldiers' lives," she said. Brig Richard Felton, then commander of Taskforce Helmand, had told the inquest that his main concern was the "thousands and thousands" of attacks on bases from insurgent forces. Jonathan Laidlaw QC, representing the family of Lt Turkington, told the brigadier they were concerned that no steps had been taken prior to the attack to prepare the troops for the threat from ANA soldiers. Brig Felton said: "There was no evidence for the threat. We had been living cheek-by-jowl with the ANA for four years with no incident." He said the relationship between the British troops and their ANA counterparts depended on trust. "If you are facing real and present danger then you have to have that trust and you do not build up that trust by putting up physical barriers where it's not appropriate." Nothing suggested that Hussein was a member of the Taliban who had infiltrated the ANA, the inquest heard. However, after the killings, a man calling himself Talib Hussein contacted the BBC bureau in Kabul to claim he carried out the killings, saying he had been angry at the conduct of British troops and that he had acted alone. He said he had joined the Taliban after the attack. Capt Peter Houlton-Hart told the Trowbridge inquest he thought Talib Hussein may have been threatened with retribution if he did not carry out the attack. All of the managerial movements for November will appear below, followed by the full list of each club, league-by-league. To read the list for October, visit the ins and outs page. It happened at around 01:20 BST on Thursday when a group of men attacked a house in Loughanhill Park. They forced their way into the house after smashing windows. A living room door was also damaged. A woman in her 40s and a teenage boy and girl were in the house at the time. Their first home game is against Manchester United a week later with a trip to Crystal Palace to follow. Manager Paul Clement guided Swans to survival last season with three wins in their final four games. He will hope they are not involved in a similar battle in a 2017-18 run-in that involves games against Man Utd, Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea. Swans' season ends with home game against Stoke City and on Boxing Day they travel to Liverpool. Clement was Swansea's third manager of 2016-17, succeeding American Bob Bradley, who had taken over after the departure of Italian Francesco Guidolin. Wales centre Allen, Scotland centre Bennett and England scrum-half Simpson are in a 25-man party which will be reduced to 12. Uncapped Scarlets flanker James Davies, Harlequins back Ollie Lindsay-Hague and Newcastle's Marcus Watson are included. Team GB's women's squad of 23 includes 21 England players. Wales' Jasmine Joyce and Stephanie Johnston of Scotland are the only non-English players named. England sevens captain Tom Mitchell and Wales skipper Luke Treharne are among the sevens specialists in the men's squad. Although the likes of Allen, Bennett, Simpson and Davies are recognised 15-a-side players, they all have considerable sevens experience. Bennett and Davies represented Scotland and Wales respectively at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and both have also played in the Sevens World Series, as has Cardiff Blues centre Allen. "Exciting talent was available to us and competition for places was tough," said head coach Simon Amor. "We're now really looking forward to bringing this group together as one team and creating an incredible Great Britain spirit." The 25 players will meet on 30 May for a seven-week training period involving four international competitions, before the squad is cut to 12 in July. Great Britain sevens men: Cory Allen (Cardiff Blues), Mark Bennett (Glasgow Warriors), Dan Bibby (England Sevens), Tom Bowen (England Sevens), Phil Burgess (England Sevens), Sam Cross (Wales Sevens), James Davies (Scarlets), Alex Davis (England Sevens), Richard de Carpentier (England Sevens), Jamie Farndale (Scotland Sevens), Alex Gray (England Sevens), Charlie Hayter (England Sevens), Warwick Lahmert (England Sevens), Ollie Lindsay-Hague (Harlequins), Gavin Lowe (Scotland Sevens), Ruaridh McConnochie (England Sevens), Tom Mitchell (England Sevens), Luke Morgan (Wales Sevens), Dan Norton (England Sevens), Scott Riddell (Scotland Sevens), Mark Robertson (Scotland Sevens), James Rodwell (England Sevens), Joe Simpson (Wasps), Luke Treharne (Wales Sevens), Marcus Watson (Newcastle Falcons). Great Britain sevens women (all England unless otherwise stated): Claire Allan, Natasha Brennan, Abbie Brown, Rachael Burford, Heather Fisher, Victoria Fleetwood, Natasha Hunt, Jasmine Joyce (Wales Sevens), Stephanie Johnston (Scotland Sevens), Megan Jones, Alex Matthews, Fran Matthews, Sarah Mckenna, Katy Mclean, Marlie Packer, Alice Richardson, Emily Scarratt, Emily Scott, Michaela Staniford, Danielle Waterman, Joanne Watmore, Kay Wilson, Amy Wilson Hardy. The Irishwoman saw off the ex-IBF super-featherweight challenger in Manchester to remain unbeaten in the professional ranks after four fights. Taylor, 30, had Bulgarian Koleva on the canvas in the seventh round. "I definitely needed the eight rounds and it was a great contest against a very strong opponent," said Taylor. The Bray boxer had won two of her first three professional fights inside the distance and always looked in control against Koleva on Saturday night. The fight was on the undercard of Anthony Crolla's world lightweight title rematch against Jorge Linares. Taylor's last victory was on 4 March, when she stopped Italian Monica Gentili. Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn is hopeful of landing a world title fight by the end of the year. The London 2012 Olympic champion won six European titles and five world crowns during a distinguished amateur career, before turning professional in October. Hundreds of people have now fled Warankara and schools have shut, they said. This is only the second time that al-Shabab is known to have occupied territory in Kenya. The al-Qaeda-linked group has its headquarters in neighbouring Somalia. The BBC Somali Service's Mohammed Mohammed says al-Shabab appears to be implementing its threat to "take the war" to Kenya. Last month, it invaded Yumbis town, also in the north-east, before withdrawing without a fight. Latest African news updates Residents in Warankara, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, told the BBC that the militants have been patrolling the village. People were scared, but the gunmen have not harmed anyone, they said. The militants had also given sermons in the village, residents added. A senator for the area, Bilow Adan Kero, told the BBC Somali Service that he had received similar reports from the village. He urged the government to take urgent steps to curb the insurgency. Residents said the security forces have not intervened to drive out the militants. Warankara is in Kenya's Mandera County, close to the military camp in Dambas town and the border with Somalia. In April, al-Shabab militants launched an assault on a university in the north-eastern town of Garissa, killing 148 people in what was the deadliest ever attack by the group. The insurgents have stepped up attacks in Kenya since losing key cities and towns in Somalia to an African Union (AU) force, which includes Kenyan troops. A bout of gastroenteritis left the Edinburgh club with "few fit players", with the game rescheduled for 12 April. Aberdeen, 12 points ahead of third-placed Hearts, visit Tynecastle on Friday evening. "The players are over the illness and they're ready to go," head coach Robbie Neilson told BBC Scotland. "They've taken a couple of days, as expected. "It was a 24 to 48 hour thing and when they run out tomorrow under the floodlights in front of a full house there will be no issue about energy." Hearts closed their Riccarton training base on Tuesday and Wednesday to prevent the bug spreading further. "We asked the players to go to their own gyms and do a bit of work themselves," explained Neilson. "It's not the ideal preparation but it had to be done." Hearts have a game in hand over Aberdeen and Neilson is confident that his team can overhaul the Dons if they get the better of Friday's contest. "It's a huge game," he said. "Aberdeen are desperate to win to keep close to Celtic and we're desperate to win to keep close to Aberdeen. "A draw doesn't do anybody any good. "We play Aberdeen twice and we have a game in hand. If we win those, the gap is down to three points going into the split and it's going to be tight. "Yes, Aberdeen are a very good team and expected to finish second, if they can't finish first, so it's up to us to try and nick that sport off them." Callum Paterson has missed the last five matches with a shoulder injury but Neilson expects the full-back to return against Aberdeen. The five-metre mound has been built at the Whitesands, which is regularly inundated by the River Nith. Officials behind the £15m river defence and regeneration programme hope it will demonstrate the scale of their plans. Critics of the flood prevention scheme claim there are cheaper and less intrusive alternatives. They have raised fears that it will result in a loss of car parking spaces but Dumfries and Galloway Council has pledged to create more on-street parking. Colin Smith, who chairs the council's economy, environment and infrastructure committee, said the blueprint had been drawn up after careful consideration. The model is part of a wider public exhibition at the former Baker's Oven in High Street, Dumfries. The 23-year-old played four times in the competition for Yorkshire last summer, scoring 113 runs. Head is a current member of Australia's one-day squads, playing 22 one-day and seven T20 internationals since making his debut in January 2016. "I would like to help the team go further than last year and hopefully win the T20 Blast," said Head. The left-hander played for hometown side Adelaide Strikers during this winter's Big Bash League, hitting 76 runs in his five innings. He will join up with fellow Australia international batsman Peter Handscomb, who has signed to play in all three formats, at Headingley. Yorkshire first-team coach Andrew Gale added: "It was a no-brainer to bring Travis back. If we had the opportunity to bring him back, we were always going to. "He has gone from strength-to-strength since he left us last summer, getting into the Australia team and being a consistent performer for them." In a tight first half, Tom Hooper nearly opened the scoring for the Iron but his driven shot was saved by keeper Josh Lillis. After the visitors' Kevin Van Veen hit the crossbar, Joe Bunney's drive put the home side ahead. Murray Wallace's header equalised for Scunthorpe but Vincenti rifled home to seal the win for Rochdale. Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I think performances get forgotten about. It was important that we responded as a team to last week (losing at Burton) because last week was a psychological disappointment in the manner that we didn't perform. "If we perform well and we lose games, you remain confident. "Last week we went too far away from our DNA and our template of the way we want to play, it's taken a lot of rescuing this week." Scunthorpe boss Mark Robins told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "There was nothing in the game really between the two teams. I think we defended pretty well and they've defended pretty well and restricted play to the middle third of the pitch. "We've hit the bar, we've had some good attempts on goal, we've scored a goal from a corner and we've done ok. It's come down to defending a cross in the final five minutes of the game which is disappointing. "We've got to dust ourselves down, get on with things and prepare for the game next week away at Southend and can we get our first away win there." Whatever he said subsequently to his manager, Mark Warburton, can't have come as a surprise either. Barton has a tongue like barbed wire at times. Anybody with even a passing knowledge of the guy would know this. You would expect the man who signed him in the summer to know it better than anybody. It can't have gone down as a shock, either, when Barton went on talkSPORT on Friday morning to "defend my position". Barton feels a sense of injustice. This situation has degenerated into a mess now. "I've been asked to re-evaluate the way I'm thinking, my thoughts, at this moment - and I don't think they're going to change," said Barton on radio. Hardly a comment of a man who has considered what his manager has said to him and is seeing the error of his ways. Far from it. "The way it's been handled is strange," he added. The way Rangers have handled it? That's not going to build bridges either. "I don't think I've done anything to apologise for," he added. Again, he's at odds with his club who, clearly, feel he's done something wrong or else why tell him to stay away for a week? There was more. "Any Rangers fan would expect Rangers players, after what's happened, to be hurting," he said. "I know they were hurting, the fans. It's not just a football match up here. It's not just three points on a Saturday. It's not that way. It goes a lot deeper in this city. "You would be expecting the players to be holding some kind of inquest. Bear in mind that it's not only the Celtic game. We haven't quite hit our straps this season... The team isn't functioning well. "Okay, I'm a huge part of that, but we're all not playing well. Is it through lack of desire? No. We're just struggling to find our way as a team. Hence, we're having the conversation we're having. Because finishing second in Scotland is nothing." Rangers have eight points from a possible 15 in the Premiership. They have drawn 1-1 with the teams that finished 10th and 11th last season - Hamilton and Kilmarnock - have won 2-1 against the teams that finished 5th and 8th - Motherwell and Dundee - and have lost 5-1 to the champions, Celtic. Barton's comments accurately reflect a poor start to the season, but Warburton has had a go at those who have, in his view, overly criticised his team's beginning to the season. Barton is justified in saying what he said, but his manager, you fancy, is not going to like him saying it publicly. After their drubbing by Celtic - Warburton said it felt more like 3-1 than 5-1, another area where he is in conflict with Barton - you would have expected an honesty session at Rangers. Given his personality, if there's going to be an honesty session then Barton is going to be pretty damn honest. Getting shocked by the severity of his language is akin to expressing amazement at turkey being served at Christmas. Barton hasn't brought anything like his best football to Rangers. He's been a massive let-down - but his personality is his personality and that never changes. He can be confrontational in his views; insensitive, unfair and maybe even cruel. He says everything he does and says is for one purpose and one purpose only - to win matches. That's his take on it. He's unbending on that. He says the message might be delivered unsympathetically, but that the message is right. He didn't just develop these personality traits when he landed in Glasgow. So why has Warburton seen fit to expel him from the Rangers camp until Monday? Was this not just Barton behaving like Barton? This is part of what you sign up for when you bring him to your football club. Training ground bust-ups are in the fabric of the game. They happen frequently. Mostly, we never hear about them until players have long since retired and are content, with the passage of time, to fill us in on what really went on back in the day. Managers are there to manage. Warburton is not the only boss in Britain to have a difficult character on his books. Part of a manager's job is to handle these players without it becoming a public saga. The news of this spat, or spats, was leaked. That's one question you have to ask of the Ibrox operation. How did it get out? How, also, did it get to the point that Barton was sent from the training ground to cool down and then was allowed to pipe-up on live radio to explain how this episode has "changed the landscape slightly" for him at Ibrox. Barton says don't shoot the messenger, just listen to the message. He'll meet with Warburton on Monday to plot a way through this, whatever direction that may take him. Priti Patel promised MPs she would work to ensure taxpayer "value for money", after reports the group Yegna was getting £5.2m. She added that there were "many other ways" to deal with issues like forced marriage and violence against women. But the government could not "vacate the pitch", Ms Patel said. Ministers have promised to keep spending at least 0.7% of national income on aid, but some Conservative MPs have said the money should go instead into funding adult social care in the UK. The Daily Mail reports that Yegna, a five-member band, has been provided with £5.2m to develop its "branded media platform", as part of a project aimed at changing perceptions of women in the country. Yegna, founded in 2013, works to encourage "positive behaviour change for girls in Ethiopia" and is part of the Girl Effect project, which was created by the UK's Department for International Development and the Nike Foundation in 2011. It uses storylines and music to tackle gender-based violence, reduce the proportion of girls who marry or give birth before the age of 18, increase the proportion of girls who complete primary school and go to secondary school and increase the number of girls "with control over economic assets". During a hearing of the International Development Committee, Conservative MP Nigel Evans asked Ms Patel about the wording of Department for International Development (DfID) literature. He said: "It says that you wish to build a diverse, resilient and effective civil society in the developing world. What aspect of the Ethiopian girl band does that fit into?" Ms Patel replied: "I think it's fair to say, when it comes to a country like Ethiopia, it's a hugely challenged country - we can all recognise that." She added: "Alongside that, there are many issues relating to violence, women, rights of individuals that need support and need addressing. "And clearly the programme which you are referring to, Mr Evans, is just one component of that, one component of a wider matrix of not just DfID investment but international investment in Ethiopia, in the civil society but also on that rights base, as well." Mr Evans then said: "I have been to Addis Ababa and I've seen women carrying eucalyptus down very steep hills in order to sell them for firewood. So there's a lot of poverty there. Do you not believe the money coming from our department could be better spent? "Secretary of state, I've known you for many years. Your blood must have been boiling when you read that story." Ms Patel said: "I completely understand and recognise the fact that you can't vacate the pitch when it comes to supporting women and some very, very substantial issues relating to their wellbeing, their rights and all the things that matter and should matter when it comes to living in a civilised society." But she added: "I think specifically, though, when it comes to this specific programme, there are clearly many, many other ways in which one can make sure that we are making those advancements. "That is just one programme, one project and I think it's fair to say that all programmes are under review." Ms Patel said, to ensure "taxpayer value for money". Speaking about her department's work more generally, Ms Patel said there were "areas that I would like to personally show some leadership in". She suggested these could include family planning and "disability in conflict", adding: "We are, every single day, pained by what we see... people being harmed. Disability is another component of that." She also said: "We look at everything within the round." She added: "We make sure that every single penny is to encourage those outcomes." The Department for International Development rejected a report in The Times claiming it was "dumping" billions of pounds into World Bank trust funds in an attempt to meet the 0.7% target. It said the World Bank had the "reach and expertise to reduce poverty around the world" but that the UK was challenging it to "work harder and smarter". Now we arrive at the next big-ticket Strategic Defence and Security Review the prime minister is delivering today, and the tone could hardly be more different. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and his boss are outlining what they consider to be a new and improved defence capability, not just to protect Britain more effectively but helping to defeat the so-called Islamic State and, crucially, "projecting our values around the world". And there's added edge to their arguments today, making their case just ten days after the terrorist outrage in Paris. There are mind-boggling sums of money involved - the government is promising to spend £178bn of taxpayers' money on new kit for the military in the coming decade: 10,000 troops in two "strike brigades" that will be able to respond more flexibly and quickly to threats around the world; many more jets, "bigger and stronger" defence forces as the defence secretary describes them. They might be busy, very busy. One Cabinet minister told me we will see a "new assertiveness across the globe". There will be more deployments of our troops they said, more interventions, more boots on the ground, not to wage war, but to help stabilise fragile states, particularly in Africa. Troops "in greater mass", will be able to be deployed around the world. This is a new and different phase where it's more likely that British soldiers might be sent to intervene in the way they currently are on the ground in Nigeria, helping the fight against Boko Haram, or as peacekeepers in Southern Sudan, potentially in Libya too. What gives all of this a greater urgency, a greater political edge is an increasing confidence among ministers that they will have the votes in the Commons to sanction British bombing in Syria. David Cameron is expected to make his case to MPs on Thursday, with a vote likely in the coming weeks. But the government's renewed vigour on defence, and its accelerating plan for Syrian strikes, both require caveats. On defence, there is more money, there is a new determination, but there is still a squeeze inside the defence budget. The SNP for example claim Scotland has been "betrayed" over cuts to frigates that are built on the Clyde. Those new strike brigades won't be at full readiness until 2025. And the extra £12bn that's going to the MoD of course comes at a cost for other departments. Every penny that goes there has to come from somewhere else, and the depth of the cuts elsewhere will be revealed by George Osborne on Wednesday. Welfare, the police, and support for business are all likely to be hit. And although political sentiment is shifting in the government's favour on Syria, there are very big questions that it might be impossible for the prime minister to answer in a week. Hardest perhaps, what ground forces exist in Syria to take and hold land where IS is destroyed? Billions of pounds of new British military kit can't answer that. The firm said a mix of an advanced sensor and optical image stabilisation tech offered superior night photos and the ability to create "light painting" effects with real-time previews. The Chinese company is pitching its P8 handsets as "premium" options. But one analyst said the firm still had a "mountain to climb". The Shenzhen-headquartered company impressed many reviewers with the design of a smartwatch unveiled at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress in February, which one tech blog described as "the surprise hit" of the trade fair. However, Ben Wood, from the tech consultancy CCS Insight, said Western consumers still perceived it as being a "value-for-money brand". "Huawei's challenge is how to differentiate a great-looking device from the sea of similar smartphones," he added. "Apple's vice-like grip on the high-end smartphone market has effectively locked out all rivals, with the possible exception of Samsung, which is having to make an eye-watering marketing investment to attract consumers to its new products." The new Android-powered phones, which were unveiled in London, come in two sizes - the basic P8 with a 5.2in screen (13.2cm) and the P8max with a larger than normal 6.8in (17.3cm) display. Both feature a 13 megapixel rear camera whose image sensor includes pixels dedicated to measuring white light as well as the more common red, green and blue colour pixels. The firm says this delivers improved images in high contrast and low light situations. In addition, the handset features what the firms claims to be a "best-in-class" stabilisation component that minimises camera shake. This allows its shutter to be kept open for longer, helping capture sharp images in dim light. It also permits the device to be put into light-painting mode while operated freehand, letting users draw inside a photo as it's taken by quickly shining light from a small torch across their view. Although this function is available to other smartphones, Huawei says it is unusual in being able to provide a live preview of what the shot look likes, making it easier to achieve the light-based doodles. In addition, four P8 phone can be linked together to provide a multi-cam filming system, allowing users to record video footage containing changes in view. Sony pioneered a similar built-in option in its Xperia handsets last year. Although another Chinese handset-maker - Xiaomi - has captured many headlines of late, Huawei ended last year with a bigger market share. It accounted for 6% of global smartphone shipments at the close of 2014, according to CCS Insight. That put it in fourth position behind Lenovo, another Chinese manufacturer, whose figures have been boosted by its recent takeover of Motorola. "Huawei's new camera technology is impressive and it's invested a lot in the associated software to make it quick, but my concern is that for most consumers the cameras on their smartphones are already good enough," said Mr Wood. "But there is another feature that's interesting: the knuckle sense technology that you to double-tap the screen with your knuckle to take a screenshot - that's going to appeal to the Snapchat generation wanting to capture pictures before they disappear." Huawei's smartphone launch coincided with that of a lesser-known Chinese manufacturer LeTV. Its new device, Le Max, is the first handset to feature a USB-C port. The facility allows the device to be connected and charged with a reversible cable - similar to Apple's Lightning connector. The announcement has been overshadowed by the fact the firm's chief executive recently apologised after commissioning an advertising campaign featuring a cartoon of Hitler with Apple's logo in the place of a swastika on his armband. Jia Yueting acknowledged that the image was "insensitive and wrong" after posting a still on Weibo, a Chinese Twitter-like service. The ad now features a cartoon king instead. Apple has not commented on the affair. Tests showed that the chemical fipronil, which can harm people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands, was found in eggs from the Netherlands. Fipronil is used to treat lice and ticks in chickens. One German official said up to 10 million of the contaminated eggs may have been sold in Germany. Christian Meyer, the agriculture minister for Lower Saxony, told German television that there was a risk to children if they ate two of the eggs a day. About 180 poultry farms in the Netherlands have been temporarily shut in recent days while investigations are held. Marieke van der Molen, of the Dutch public prosecutor's office, said a criminal investigation was under way to find the source of the contamination. Meanwhile, European supermarkets have moved to halt the distribution of eggs from the affected batches. However, Aldi - which has close to 4,000 stores in Germany - is the first retailer to stop selling all eggs as a precaution. "This is merely a precaution, there is no reason to assume there are any health risks," Aldi said in a statement. A spokeswoman for Aldi UK told the BBC its eggs were all British and were not affected by the contamination. Reuters reports that investigators believe the chemical may have originated in contaminated detergent used to clean barns. Poultry World reported that fipronil may have been deliberately added to an existing insecticide to improve its effectiveness. The Netherlands is Europe's largest exporter of eggs and egg products, and one of the biggest in the world. It exports an estimated 65% of the 10 billion eggs it produces every year. The 27-year-old did not play in round five of the Premier League in Exeter on Thursday in the hope of being fit to play in the three-day tournament. Van Gerwen, the PDC world champion and world number one, was hoping to win a third successive UK title in Minehead. His withdrawal means that one player who reaches the third round will receive a bye to round four. As a result of Van Gerwen's injury, Dave Chisnall played two Premier League fixtures in Exeter, while the Dutchman will now play twice in Manchester on 23 March.

In a Facebook message directed at supporters on election day, he warned that "right-wing rule is in danger" as left-wing organisations were bringing Arabs to vote "in buses". The Joint List alliance of Arab-dominated parties rejected the apology. The prime minister had feared his voters would stay at home, but won against expectations. Mr Netanyahu now says he hopes to form a new governing coalition within two or three weeks. Apologising for his comments he said: "I know the things I said a few days ago hurt some Israeli citizens. "My actions as prime minister, including massive investment in minority sectors, prove the exact opposite. "I think, similarly, that no element outside the state of Israel should intervene in our democratic processes." Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint Arab List - an alliance of Israeli Arab-dominated parties that united for the first time and secured 13 seats at last week's election, told Israel's Channel 10: "We do not accept this apology. "It was to a group of elders and not to the elected leadership of Israel's Arabs. I want to see actions, how is he going to manifest this apology? Will he advance equality?" Mr Netanyahu's comments on election day drew criticism from the White House, which said it was "deeply concerned" by "divisive rhetoric" that sought to marginalise Israeli Arabs. Ahead of the vote, Mr Netanyahu also said he would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state if re-elected. His centre-left opposition, the Zionist Union, had promised to repair ties with the Palestinians and the international community. Mr Netanyahu has since watered down this position in an interview with MSNBC. But White House adviser Denis McDonough said on Monday that "we cannot pretend that these comments were never made." Israeli Arabs, descendants of the 160,000 Palestinians who remained after the State of Israel was created in 1948, represent about 20% the Israeli population. Brett McGurk, the senior US official in the counter-IS coalition, issued the warning after Iraqi forces cut off the last road out of the city, trapping IS fighters inside. The jihadists have held Mosul, Iraq's second city, since 2014. But Iraqi forces have managed to retake large areas in a months-long offensive. They now control all of Mosul's eastern side, and the latest US-backed push against IS - which began on 5 March - has forced the extremists from key locations in the west, including the main local government headquarters and the famed Mosul museum. Heavy fighting continued over the weekend, with Mr McGurk telling reporters in Baghdad on Sunday "just last night, the 9th Iraqi army division... cut off the last road out of Mosul". He added "Any of the fighters who are left in Mosul, they're going to die there, because they're trapped. "So we are very committed to not just defeating them in Mosul, but making sure these guys cannot escape." Staff Major General Maan al-Saadi, of Iraq's elite Counter-Terrorism Service, said government forces now controlled "more than a third" of western Mosul. He said he believed the fight would be easier than in eastern Mosul, which took 100 days to reclaim after the offensive was launched in October, finally falling in January. However, federal police and rapid response units say they have now entered the Bab al-Tob area of the Old City, where the fight is expected to be tough due to its narrow alleyways through which armoured vehicles cannot pass. Meanwhile, Joint Operations Command spokesman Brig Gen Yahya Rasool said he believed IS was weakening. But he added: "The battle is not easy... we are fighting an irregular enemy who hides among the citizens and uses tactics of booby-trapping, explosions and suicide bombers, and the operation is taking place with precision to preserve the lives of the citizens." It is thought there may be as many as 600,000 civilians still trapped in IS-controlled areas of Mosul. The statements came a day after Iraqi forces said that a "large mass grave" had been found near the city. It contained the remains of hundreds of "civilian prisoners who were executed by (IS) gangs after they controlled the prison during their occupation of Mosul". In March, nearly 130,000 people had been waiting for operations after being referred to a consultant, compared with 45,000 in March 2013. But nine out of 10 patients were still treated within 18 weeks, data shows. NHS England said it had cut the number of patients waiting more than a year for treatment. A spokeswoman said: "The NHS has cut the number of patients waiting more than a year for treatment by nearly 13,000 over the past five years, and spending on non-urgent surgery is continuing to rise." However, the surgeons said they were concerned that many more patients would wait longer for surgery in the future. Earlier this year, NHS England boss Simon Stevens said growing pressures in the health service meant he could no longer guarantee treatment within the 18-week target time for operations such as knee and hip replacements. The Royal College of Surgeons says this is resulting in more people waiting for six to nine months or more for surgery, in specialities such as ear, nose and throat, brain and spinal, and general surgery. The biggest increases in waiting times have been in dermatology and gynaecology. In March, in England, nearly 20,000 people had been waiting for more than nine months for surgery - three times more than in March 2013. At that time, six-month waits were at their lowest level and 94% of people were treated within 18 weeks. The average waiting time for planned surgery is now just over six weeks, with 90.3% or 3.3 million people treated in under 18 weeks. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have also seen increases in the numbers of people waiting more than six months for planned surgery since 2013, although the figures are not directly comparable because of the way they are measured. NHS England did not respond directly to the six-month figures, but added: "While the Royal College of Surgeons understandably lobbies for more spending on surgeons, in the real world they aren't the only call on constrained NHS funding, which also has to support extra investment in GP services, modern cancer treatments, and expanded mental health services." Clare Marx, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, said: "We are now struggling to meet the standards and timeliness of care that the public rightly expect. "It is unacceptable for such a large number of patients to be waiting this long in pain and discomfort for treatment. This is the grim reality of the financial pressures facing the NHS." She said many of those patients were older and waiting longer for surgery could have an impact on their quality of life and how well they recovered after surgery. One major reason for the rise in waiting times was a shortage of beds in the NHS, she added. "When pressures in emergency departments rise, patients awaiting planned surgery can have their operations cancelled or delayed until more space becomes available. "In this election we urge all political parties to make timely access to surgery an urgent priority." A Conservative spokesman said the figures failed to recognise the hard work of NHS staff. "There were nearly 12 million NHS operations done last year, up by almost two million a year since 2010, at the same time as we've dramatically cut the number of people waiting over 52 weeks for treatment," he said. Jonathan Ashworth, Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "The Tories' neglect and underfunding of the NHS has pushed services to the brink. "By properly funding the NHS we will restore the 18-week treatment target which the Tories have abandoned and we will bring a million people off the waiting list." The model, which took 650 hours to build, is on display at Legoland in Windsor. It features rows of picnic tables, bunting, 600 guests and a miniature Royal Family displayed in front of a recreation of Buckingham Palace consisting of a further 35,000 bricks . The exhibit will be on display until November. Welsh students from poor backgrounds are almost three times less likely to go to university than those who are well off. Sutton Trust said schools should raise aspirations and universities should "reach out". Swansea University is running a summer school to try and bridge the gap. According to UCAS, the body responsible for university admissions, last year, only 17 per cent of poorer Welsh students went to university. In contrast, 44 per cent of students from the most well-off background entered higher education. Dr Lee Elliot Major, chief executive of the Sutton Trust said: "There is still a deep divide in education in Wales. "We really need to have much smaller gaps because Wales is missing out on a huge amount of talent." The charity said that although there has been some progress over the past five years, schools should do more to raise aspirations, and universities should "reach out" to under-represented groups. More than 60 young people are currently taking part in a Swansea University summer school to encourage them to apply to university. The course gives them a "real taste" of university life and studies. Attendee Tiegan Blackmoor, 17, of Maesteg, said: "I wasn't sure if I should go to college or go straight to a job. None of my family have gone to university." Alice Davies, manager of Swansea University's Reaching Wider Partnership, which runs the summer school, said one of the most under-represented groups at university is white working-class boys. "Young people who have been in the care system are massively underrepresented in higher education, as are young people from certain geographical areas where there's a lot of poverty," she added. "It's unfair that certain parts of the population aren't accessing higher education - not through a lack of talent, but through a lack of access to opportunities." Proposed cuts by the Department for Employment and Learning may mean 1,100 fewer university places from next year. The CBI said: "The draft budget outcome, when set in those stark terms, is frankly nonsensical." It said Northern Ireland must produce more skilled workers to continue to be attractive to overseas companies. The Confederation of British Industry made its comments in its response to the Northern Ireland Executive's draft 2015-16 budget. The CBI said financial allocations to the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL), the Department of Enterprise and Invest NI "must be reviewed and revised to support the transition to a higher-skilled economy". It added: "We accept efficiencies can and must be made, but the scale and time frame of the proposed cuts are potentially hugely damaging to our economic prospects." The Northern Ireland Executive agreed its draft budget in October, shaped by a reduction of around £200m in the block grant from the Treasury. It is due to be finalised by next month. The CBI also said the executive needed to examine ways to raise money. Among its suggestions are re-introducing prescription charges, increasing rates and cutting back on concessionary travel on public transport. It said such moves are necessary for Northern Ireland "to say it is living within its means". Mr Smith said all conflicts ended in "dialogue", during a two-hour debate with Jeremy Corbyn on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. The Labour leader said he would not negotiate with so-called Islamic State. The pair also clashed over allegations of abuse within the Labour Party, nuclear weapons and the EU referendum. Commenting after the debate, Mr Corbyn's campaign team called Mr Smith's comments on IS "hasty and ill-considered". But Mr Smith stressed he was not suggesting "we're going to be able to bring ISIS round the table right now." Pressed on how soon it might happen, he told BBC News: "We don't know. We would all hope that it happens quickly, we would all hope they stop being a murderous terrorist organisation and try and bring about peace. But at the moment there's no evidence of that, is there?" The audience of 100 Labour supporters in Nottingham repeatedly expressed concern about "abuse" between the two sides in the leadership contest. Mr Smith said Labour had become divided, with Mr Corbyn's supporters feeling he was the "only socialist in the Labour Party". "The truth is I'm not a red Tory, I'm not a Blairite, I'm a socialist same as you," Mr Smith said. But when Victoria Derbyshire suggested to the Labour leader the atmosphere within the party had become "toxic", Mr Corbyn hit back, asking: "Well, how do you know?" Mr Corbyn said he had attended Labour events all over the country with "people of all shades of opinion having an intelligent, respectful discussion and debate". "That is how we should do things at all times," he said. We knew that there were few major policy differences between the two men and that the real division was over who had the qualities to lead the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn failing to recognise Ant and Dec is the sort of thing that might get talked about in the pub on Wednesday night, while the political establishment is wondering whether Owen Smith really does think there will come a time for talks with so-called Islamic State. The main thing I will take away from the debate is just how upset, angry, confused and hurt ordinary Labour members are about the state of their party. The two men also clashed over who was responsible for Labour's low opinion poll ratings, with Mr Smith repeating his assertion that Mr Corbyn could not lead the party to power and Mr Corbyn urging him to rejoin the shadow cabinet. In a quick-fire question round, Mr Smith said being described as a "Tory" was worse than being described as a "smarmy nonentity" (a quote from Spectator columnist Rod Liddle). And Mr Corbyn could not identify TV presenters Ant and Dec when shown a picture of them. On foreign affairs, Mr Smith suggested the so-called Islamic State would eventually have to be brought into peace talks if there was to be a settlement to Syria's civil war. Referring to his experience as an adviser to Labour's former Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy, he said: "Ultimately all solutions to these sorts of international crises do come about through dialogue. "So eventually, if we are to try and solve this, all of the actors do need to be involved. "But at the moment, Isil are clearly not interested in negotiating." He added: "At some point, for us to resolve this, we will need to get people round the table." Asked the same question, Mr Corbyn said: "They are not going to be round the table. No." Speaking after the debate, Mr Corbyn's leadership campaign described Mr Smith's on comments on IS as "hasty and ill-considered". The spokesman said: "Jeremy has always argued that there must be a negotiated political solution to the war in Syria and the wider Middle East, and that maintaining lines of communication during conflicts is essential. "But Isis cannot be part of those negotiations. Instead, its sources of funding and supplies must be cut off." The comments were also seized on by the Conservative Party, with Tory MP and member of the Defence Select Committee Johnny Mercer saying it showed Mr Smith's "unfitness for leadership". "It shows that whoever wins this increasingly bizarre leadership election, I'm afraid Labour just cannot be trusted with keeping us safe," added Mr Mercer. But Mr Smith's campaign said he was "clear" there should be no negotiation with the so-called Islamic State, or Daesh as it is also known, "until they renounce violence, cease all acts of terror and commit themselves to a peaceful settlement". "Owen's experience of helping to bring about peace in Northern Ireland is that eventually all parties who truly believe in delivering peace have to be around the table. "In the Middle East at the moment that clearly doesn't include - and may never include - Daesh." 4 May 2016 Last updated at 06:51 BST A tiny battery costing as little as a £1 can make electricity from urine.

Burhan Wani was killed by Indian security forces a year ago and separatist militants had announced massive public protests. Thousands of extra troops were deployed to prevent rallies from taking place. Burhan Wani's village is in Tral, which is surrounded by thickly forested mountains. On the first anniversary of his death, it was in virtual lock-down. Heavily armed soldiers sealed all roads leading to the village, with armoured cars strategically placed across the road in some places, others barricaded with concertina wire. "Our orders are to let no-one in sir, not even the media," Pankaj Jha, an officer of the Central Reserve Police Force, told me apologetically. Behind him soldiers fanned out into the woods, to make sure no one was slipping in. A group of women, wearing black burkhas, approached, holding a small child by the hand but the soldiers waved them back. "We live in the neighbouring village," one of them told me. "We don't want to go to Burhan Wani's village." Then, after a pause, she added quietly: "And what if we did? He was like our brother and he died a martyr, fighting for us." After a brief discussion, the soldiers decided to let them through. As they walk past us, they discreetly flash a victory sign. Last year, Burhan Wani's funeral was attended by thousands of people, many of them civilians, a testimony to his massive public support. "He was charismatic and he appealed to the young," one Kashmiri policeman says. "I should know. I am from his village. I'd rather be there than here blocking the roads." This is why the authorities were determined to clamp down this time. Soldiers surrounded Burhan Wani's family home and ordered all residents of the village to stay indoors. It was the same situation across much of south Kashmir, now the epicentre of militant violence. We drove away from Tral towards Pulwama, a town located almost an hour away. Well before we got there, we were flagged down by troops wearing full body protection. It was soon clear why. Within minutes, scores of protesters appeared from surrounding villages, pelting the soldiers with large stones. "Go India go back," they chanted. "Long live Pakistan," they taunted, spreading their arms defiantly. Many of them were teenagers. The soldiers looked on warily before responding first with threats and then charged them. The protesters retreated hastily before regrouping and letting loose a fresh volley of stones. Then the troops fired teargas shells. "This is what has been happening on almost a daily basis," one soldier said, wearily. Ever since Burhan Wani's death there has been a massive spike in violence. What is deeply worrying India though, is the growing and active role played by civilians. Militant funerals are routinely attended by hundreds of people. Soldiers carrying out counter-insurgency operations now also have to deal with civilians who attack them with stones, in an attempt to help militants escape. It's a trend that could mark a turning point in the nearly seven-decade long Kashmir conflict. Public transport company Translink NI Railways said the majority of the prosecutions were against drivers. It said cases had been brought against motorists for ignoring warning signals or driving through level crossings as trains approached. The convictions cost offenders more than £14,000, it said. In total, 74 people were prosecuted. One of the incidents reported by Translink staff was a group of youths playing football on the tracks near Ballymoney station in County Antrim. Other incidents included pedestrians trespassing, hanging from barriers and running across tracks shortly before trains, travelling at speeds of up to 70mph, passed. Richard Knox of Translink said the company was working "more closely than ever" with police to identify "risk-takers" on railway lines. "We now have CCTV at the majority of our crossings and we will continue to prosecute offenders who take risks and put themselves, our employees and passengers at risk," he added. The ECB's touring party to Dubai includes 17 centrally-contracted players and seven academy players. Wicketkeeper Taylor, 27, took a break from cricket last year to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. "Sarah is doing really well and is back in training," said Robinson. "Her return is a gradual one which is regularly reviewed as she works herself back to, hopefully, full fitness. "There are no timescales in place for her but her goal is still to give herself the best chance of being able to play in the World Cup." Next month's training camp in the UAE forms a key part of England's preparations ahead of the Women's World Cup in England this summer (24 June-23 July) England will play three 50-over matches against Ireland on 24, 26 and 28 April in Abu Dhabi. Captain Heather Knight said: "This is an exciting step in the build-up to the World Cup. "We've begun to show who we are as a side over the past year and we'll continue to work hard and continue to progress." England squad: Heather Knight (Berkshire, captain), Anya Shrubsole (Somerset, vice-captain) , Tammy Beaumont (Kent), Katherine Brunt (Yorkshire), Kate Cross (Lancashire), Georgia Elwiss (Sussex), Tash Farrant (Kent), Jenny Gunn (Warwickshire), Alexandra Hartley (Lancashire), Danielle Hazell (Yorkshire), Amy Jones (Warwickshire), Beth Langston (Yorkshire), Laura Marsh (Kent), Natalie Sciver (Surrey), Fran Wilson (Middlesex), Lauren Winfield (Yorkshire), Danielle Wyatt (Sussex), Georgia Adams (Sussex), Hollie Armitage (Yorkshire), Alice Davidson-Richards (Kent), Sophie Ecclestone (Lancashire), Evelyn Jones (Lancashire), Emma Lamb (Lancashire), Linsey Smith (Berkshire). However former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was barred from standing by a government-controlled vetting body, as was his close ally Hamid Baghaie. A final list of candidates for the 19 May poll will be announced on 27 April. More than 1,600 candidates sought to stand, but only about six are selected by the Guardian Council. The nominations of Mr Rouhani and Mr Raisi will lead to a showdown between bitterly divided political camps. Iran nuclear deal: Key details Mr Rouhani was elected by a landslide in 2013, on a platform of ending the country's diplomatic isolation and creating a freer society. Two years later his government and six other countries reached a landmark deal, in which Iran agreed to curb its sensitive nuclear activities in return for the lifting of economic sanctions. Mr Raisi is a seyed, meaning he traces his genealogy back to the Prophet Muhammad. He has a reputation for his uncompromising stance on key issues and is rumoured to be supported by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mr Ahmadinejad, a hardliner who served two terms as president between 2005 and 2013, caused widespread shock when he registered as a candidate last week in defiance of Mr Khamenei's advice. Last year the Supreme Leader warned Mr Ahmadinejad that such a move was "not in his interest and that of the country". Mr Khamenei appoints about half of the Guardian Council. Mr Rouhani and Mr Raisi are expected to focus their campaigns on the state of the economy as well as the nuclear deal, which has been hailed by the president as his most significant success over the four years he has been in office. Other candidates given the go-ahead to compete in the vote are Mostafa Mirsalim, Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Mostafa Hashemitaba and Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri. As the results began to come in from across the continent, he considered whether the increase in the number of Eurosceptic MEPs would change the way the European Parliament would work in the future. "Whether that makes a big difference in European politics remains to be seen, but it's going to make a very big difference in domestic politics, particularly in the member states predominately in the north of Europe." By European politics he meant Brussels, the parliament, and there's good reason to assume he is right on that score. Despite the huge gains for anti-EU parties and those that wish to reduce the power of the EU, it's unlikely that the parliament will adopt a fundamentally different approach. The main centre-right and left groupings still hold the majority of seats between them. Add in the Liberals and the Greens, and the parliament is overwhelmingly pro-EU. The leading candidate for the EPP, the centre-right bloc which won this election, has said he wants to form a grand coalition with the centre-left S&D. That's to be expected. The parliament is less confrontational than national elected bodies. The groups have to - and do - work together to pass complex legislation. There will be many moments in the coming five years when these four groups compromise with one another. Then there's the fact that the anti-EU, anti-euro, anti-immigration parties who won last night are a disparate group. Greece's left-wing Syriza will not find much common ground with France's right-wing National Front (FN). There is no anti-EU blocking minority to slow down business in the parliament. In the hugely important committees yes, perhaps, but not the plenary. In that sense, if the main groups in the parliament choose to ignore those who didn't vote for them last night, they can. National politicians however, can't afford to ignore them. That's where this election is likely to really shake things up. In two of the three big national players in the EU, France and Britain, domestic politics is being shaped by the right wing, and especially the anti-immigration voices. Brussels has had to deal with an awkward UK for years on subjects like this. Not so with France, which has always spiritually been at the heart of the project. But even before the votes had been cast, France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy - who many assume fancies a return to office - questioned some of the fundamentals of the union, saying the passport-free Schengen zone should be suspended, and that the EU should be stripped of some powers. In Germany, the EU's biggest player, Chancellor Angela Merkel doesn't face anything like the same political pressure from anti-EU parties. Still, even in Berlin, they will be digesting the news that a sizeable part of the electorate voted for a new anti-euro party. In smaller countries there are similar forces that will require the mainstream to take a good look at what voters are saying about their country's place in the EU. In each there are different forces at play, but in Denmark, Spain, Greece and elsewhere large parts of the electorate are asking for a rethink on their relationship with Brussels. This will have an impact not just on domestic politics, but on the national leaders when they meet in Brussels at the European Council - where their job is to shape the direction of the EU. Will that change the direction? Too early to say, but last night Nigel Farage concluded that "up until now European integration always seemed to be inevitable." "I think that inevitability ended tonight." Media playback is not supported on this device The president of the IAAF, athletics' governing body, told a select committee in December 2015 he was "not aware" of specific allegations of corruption around the Russian doping scandal. But the email from Lord Coe to the IAAF's ethics commission in August 2014 states: "I have now been made aware of the allegations." In 2015, Lord Coe told Parliament: "I was certainly not aware of the specific allegations that had been made around the corruption of anti-doping processes in Russia." Lord Coe denies there is any discrepancy between his evidence and what the emails say he knew. MPs had wanted the IAAF [International Association of Athletics Federations] president to return to the committee after former athlete David Bedford's testimony to the Culture, Media and Sport select committee inquiry into doping in sport appeared to contradict Lord Coe's. The president has so far declined to return to the committee, but agreed to two requests from MPs to release missing correspondence between him and Michael Beloff, chair of the IAAF ethics commission. The emails, published on Tuesday by the committee, cast fresh light on the issue of what Lord Coe knew - and when - about the burgeoning Russian corruption and doping scandal which has blighted world athletics. Committee chairman Damian Collins told the BBC: "Whatever excuse he gives, it is clear that Lord Coe decided not to share with the committee information that was relevant to our inquiry on doping in sport. "The committee asked him about his knowledge of doping in Russian athletics and of corruption within the sport. In his answers, he gave the impression that he was unaware of specific allegations. "Thanks to evidence that was presented by the BBC Panorama programme last year, and by David Bedford to the committee this January, we can see that he was aware, at least in general terms, of the allegations that had been brought forward by the Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova." Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP, shadow minister for sport, said: "These are very troubling allegations. The release of these emails by the select committee casts serious doubts over the evidence previously given by Lord Coe to the inquiry. "World Athletics is going through one of the most serious doping scandals in its history and requires the strongest possible leadership. Lord Coe must immediately come back to the select committee and clarify his evidence in light of this new information. "He must be honest about which allegations he knew of and when he found out about them. The IAAF and BOA [British Olympic Association] need transparency and honesty throughout their organisations now more than ever, and that has to start at the very top." Media playback is not supported on this device Last June the BBC's Panorama programme and the Daily Mail alleged Lord Coe - then an IAAF vice-president - had been alerted to the scandal months before it was revealed by the German journalist Hajo Seppelt in December 2014. The programme revealed Lord Coe had been sent an email by Bedford, the former world 10,000m record holder, containing several attachments detailing allegations from Russian marathon champion Shobukhova that she had paid almost half a million euros to cover up positive doping tests after being blackmailed by senior IAAF officials. Collins told Panorama it appeared Lord Coe had "deliberately misled" them. Lord Coe told the programme he hadn't opened the attachments and had simply forwarded the email on to the IAAF's Ethics Committee, and that since he did not open the attachments, he had not been aware of the detail of the corruption allegations and therefore had not misled Parliament. His spokeswoman told the BBC his failure to open the attachments had been nothing more than a "lack of curiosity". In his evidence to the select committee in December, Bedford said he was "surprised and disappointed" that Lord Coe, who became president of the IAAF in August 2015, said he had not opened the attachments. However, fresh questions have emerged for Lord Coe following his disclosure to the committee of the full email chain between him and Mr Beloff. The email, from Lord Coe to Mr Beloff, is dated August 2014 and reads: "I have in the last couple of days received copied documentation of serious allegations being made by and on behalf of the Russian female athlete Shobukhova from David Bedford. "I have spoken to David today on the phone and he advises me that he has shared this information with you. Should I forward this documentation to you? "The purpose of this note is of course to advise you that I have now been made aware of the allegations... but would be grateful for your advice." In a detailed four-page letter to the select committee, which accompanies the disclosure of the emails, Lord Coe says there is "no discrepancy". He said he was not asked specifically by MPs about when he first heard of the corruption of doping cases. He said he was on holiday abroad when he received a call from Mr Bedford asking if he was aware of the Shobukhova allegations, and on answering "no", Mr Bedford agreed to send them without going into the detail of what the allegations were. Lord Coe says he then dictated the 14 August email to an assistant. The letter to the committee reads: "David had thought the allegations were serious enough to send information about them first to the ethics commission and then to me, and I knew I therefore had a duty to inform the ethics commission that I was aware of allegations having being made, and I wanted to ensure that Michael [Beloff] had all the information David [Bedford] had sent to me." Mr Beloff responded on 16 August 2014 that he already had the information. Lord Coe wrote: "Having received these responses from Michael [Beloff] I was satisfied that I had done what I was required to do under the code of ethics. "I have made clear I did not read David Bedford's emailed documents but asked my office to forward them to the person and the commission with exclusive authority to investigate. "I trust this clarifies the matter to the satisfaction of the committee, and as such there are no grounds for suggesting that I misled the committee in any way." Questions remain as to why Lord Coe, if he was unaware of the detail of the allegations, would state to Beloff he had "now been made aware of the serious allegations being made by, and on behalf of the Russian female athlete Shobukhova". Collins told the BBC: "It was not possible to know this, without some knowledge of the attachments contained in the email, as all David Bedford's email to Lord Coe said was that the documents he was sending to him related to 'an issue that is being investigated by the IAAF ethics commission'. "However, if it is true that Lord Coe was somehow unaware of the details of the complaint that had been made by Shobukhova, it is regrettable that neither he nor his team could find the time to read the 1,700 word summary of the allegations that was sent to him by David Bedford. "This episode adds further weight to the concern that senior figures within athletics could have done more to make themselves fully aware of serious allegations of corruption and doping within their sport, and then acted on that information to make sure that it was being properly investigated." Lord Coe, as a member of the House of Lords, cannot be compelled to give evidence to a select committee, unlike members of the public, but it is likely that the committee will take a dim view of Lord Coe's refusal to return when writing up their final report on doping in sport, which is expected to be published within weeks. The BBC Panorama programme also revealed claims Lord Coe had been helped to the presidency of the IAAF by Papa Massata Diack, at a time when Diack was under investigation for serious corruption. Diack, who is the son of the disgraced former president of the IAAF Lamine Diack, is now banned for life from athletics, is wanted by Interpol and remains in hiding in Senegal. Lord Coe denied anything inappropriate occurred during his election campaign. Geologists say the Daan River, which floods regularly and violently, will wipe the gorge off the map in 50 years. Massive earthquakes shake this region every 300-400 years, but these results explain why so little evidence remains of previous tremors, making predictions and mapping of fault lines difficult. The find also allows researchers to witness gorge erosion in fast-forward. The study is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. "The really cool thing about this place is that it's happening so fast, we can watch it," said Dr Kristen Cook, a geologist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam. "We can see processes that you can't reconstruct." At the time of the 1999 Jiji earthquake, a 10m high rock table was pushed upward, creating a 1km-long dam across the Daan River valley in Taiwan's western foothills. "The amount of uplift was huge," Dr Cook told the BBC. "Imagine one side of your house going up by 10m - it's a big change." And yet nowhere in the valley is there any evidence for previous upheaval of this kind. "If you were trying to look in the topography for where this sort of thing might happen, you wouldn't see anything," explained Dr Cook. Now that she and her colleagues have observed the ferocity of the river's attack on the rocks, Dr Cook is not surprised. "The river can really efficiently remove all of the evidence," she said. Beginning in 2004, the river overcame the natural dam and material dragged along the river bed cut a brand new gorge which was 1,200m long and 20m deep by 2008. The formation is known in Chinese as the Grand Canyon of the Daan River, and Dr Cook said it shows similarity to its mighty US namesake in Arizona. "That's one of the exciting things - we expect the process to be the same, but sped up." Dr Cook visited the valley some 51 times while she was working at National Taiwan University from 2009 to 2013, recording detailed GPS measurements every month or two as well as time-lapse photography. Twice each year, she also measured the shape of the whole canyon at 2cm resolution using a laser scanner. "That takes about a day - you have to set up the scanner in a bunch of different places," Dr Cook said. "You end up with something like 100 million data points." All these measurements reveal some of the fastest erosion geologists have ever seen: the gorge is being eaten away from its upstream end at a rate of 17m per year. The breakneck pace is a result of both the relative softness of the rocks, and the regular flooding brought by typhoons. Furthermore, Dr Cook and her colleagues have identified an entirely new mechanism of canyon erosion, which they call "downstream sweep". It arises because the wide river floodplain suddenly funnels into the gorge, producing sharp bends in the current that grind away the rocks at the canyon's upstream end. Follow Jonathan on Twitter Cellebrite was in the headlines earlier this year when it was rumoured to have helped the FBI to crack an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter. Now the company has told the BBC that it can get through the defences of just about any modern smartphone. But the firm refuses to say whether it supplies its technology to the police forces of repressive regimes. Last week Cellebrite was showing off its technology to British customers. I was invited to a hotel in the Midlands, where police officers from across the UK had come to see equipment and software that first extracts data from suspects' phones, then analyses how they interact with others. I was given a demo using a Samsung phone supplied by the company. It was running quite an old version of Android - 4.2 - but I was allowed to take it away for half an hour, put a password on it, and use it to take photos and send a text message. When we returned, Yuval Ben-Moshe from Cellebrite took the phone and simply plugged it in via the charging socket to what looked like a chunky tablet computer. He explained that this was the kind of mobile unit the firm supplied to police forces for data extraction in the field. He pressed a couple of buttons on the screen and then announced that the phone's lock code had been disabled. "We can pretty much pull up any of the data that resides on the phone," he said. He then downloaded the photos I'd taken and the message I'd sent on to a USB stick - the evidence of my activities could now be in the hands of the police. It was impressive, not to say slightly concerning, that the security on the phone had been so easily bypassed - although this was not a particularly advanced phone, nor had I used services such as WhatsApp, which provide added levels of security. But Mr Ben-Moshe claimed that his firm could access data on "the largest number of devices that are out there in the industry". Even Apple's new iPhone 7? "We can definitely extract data from an iPhone 7 as well - the question is what data." He said that Cellebrite had the biggest research and development team in the sector, constantly working to catch up with the new technology. He was cagey about how much data could be extracted from services such as WhatsApp - "It's not a black/white yes/no answer" - but indicated that criminals might be fooling themselves if they thought any form of mobile communication was totally secure. Back in the spring, there were reports that Cellebrite had helped the FBI get into the iPhone 5C left behind by the San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook. Unsurprisingly, Mr Ben-Moshe had nothing to say on this matter: "We cannot comment on any of our customers." And on the matter of how fussy Cellebrite was about the customers for equipment that is used by law enforcement agencies around the world, he was also tight-lipped. When I asked whether the company worked with oppressive governments he said: "I don't know the answer to that and I'm in no position to comment on that." And when I pressed him, he would say only that Cellebrite operated under international law and under the law of every jurisdiction where it worked. Mobile phone companies are making great advances in providing secure devices - and law enforcement agencies in the UK and the US are complaining that this is helping criminals and terrorists evade detection. But last month another Israeli firm NSO Group, which also works for law enforcement and intelligence agencies, was reported to be behind a hack that allowed any iPhone to be easily "jailbroken" and have malware installed. It seems the technology battle between the phone makers and those trying to penetrate their devices - for good reasons or bad - is a more even fight than we may have imagined. Lincolnshire county councillor Ian Fleetwood is under investigation for giving taxpayers' cash to the Hawthorne Action Group. The organisation opposes plans to close Hawthorne Road as part of the Lincoln Eastern Bypass project. Mr Fleetwood said he took advice before giving the money to two parish councils which passed it on to the group. The complaint was made by rival campaigners Lincolnshire Bypass Action Group which supports the council's plans for a bypass. It said Mr Fleetwood breached the code of conduct by giving the money from his Big Society Fund to Reepham and Cherry Willingham parish councils' "fighting fund". Under council rules, the money should not be used to fund groups opposed to council policy. Hawthorne Action Group is not opposed to a bypass but believes Hawthorne Road should remain open. Mr Fleetwood declined to comment other than to say he took advice before giving the money. Richard Wills, monitoring officer at Lincolnshire County Council, said complaints were investigated and, if the investigator considers there is evidence of a breach, a panel is convened. "The council does not comment on individual cases but can confirm that a hearing panel is being convened to consider a case that resulted from a complaint by members of the public," he said. Xin Xin delivered the two male cubs on Sunday afternoon at the Giant Panda Pavilion in Coloane, said officials. She and the larger cub were in good health, but the smaller cub was underweight and was taken into intensive care. Xin Xin and her mate Kai Kai were a gift from the mainland and arrived in Macau last year. They mated naturally, a government spokeswoman told BBC News, but Xin Xin was also artificially inseminated with sperm from Kai Kai. The larger cub, weighing 138g (0.3 lb), was born at 15:45 local time (08:45 GMT). The smaller cub, weighing just 53.8g, was born at 16:27 local time. The panda pavilion has been closed since 14 June to prepare for the delivery.

She stopped Hungarian Vlajk in the ninth round to take the vacant title in her home town. Brace beat the 37-year-old by TKO in the penultimate round, her third knockout win of her professional career. Police have carried out searches at 22 addresses and made 12 arrests. Searches have taken place in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter. Two men aged 23 and 30 were detained during the search of a house in Donegall Pass, south Belfast, on Friday. Det Insp Andy Dunlop, from the Organised Crime Branch, said: "Five people have been remanded in custody, two were released on bail pending a report to the PPS and three others are due to appear in court tomorrow (Saturday)." The PSNI is working with the National Crime Agency and Italian Carabinieri as part of the operation. Clodagh Hartley is accused of paying Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) official Jonathan Hall around £17,000 for tip-offs over three years. One involved a tip that allowed the paper to run a story on Alistair Darling's Budget in 2010 before he delivered it, prosecutors claimed. Miss Hartley denies all charges. Prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC said: "As you would expect, the details of the Budget are a closely-guarded secret. "You would expect the details would be announced to Parliament and not broadcast in advance in the newspapers and certainly not for money, for personal gain." She said a financial trail revealed Mr Hall was paid £750 for the story at the request of Miss Hartley. Prosecutors said Mr Hall gave Miss Hartley, the Sun's Whitehall editor, information that led to the double-page story that was printed before Mr Darling stood to deliver the Budget. Prosecutors also said Mr Hall was paid £500 for another story about celebrities being paid to publicise a government website. The court was told more than £4,000 was paid to Mr Hall by News International between April 2008 and May 2010. More than £13,000 was also transferred to his girlfriend Marta Bukarewicz's account between June 2010 and July 2011 after Miss Hartley suggested it would "cover his tracks", the court heard. Ms Bukarewicz kept £845 for her role and transferred the rest to Mr Hall, the court was told. The jury was told Mr Hall accepts he supplied Miss Hartley with stories for which he was paid. The prosecutor also told jurors: "This is not a trial involving whistle-blowing in a noble cause. "It is a case in which Mr Hall, the HMRC press officer, was motivated by greed and Miss Hartley, the journalist, was motivated by acquiring the next big scoop or exclusive. "Many of you will have sympathy for journalists who expose mismanagement and inefficiency in government departments but that is not what this case is about." Ms Bukarewicz and Miss Hartley both deny conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office. About 70 mourners gathered at Mexborough Cemetery in Doncaster for the funeral of 92-year-old Royal Navy veteran Douglas Barratt on Wednesday, but were locked out for 40 minutes. The digger, used for graves, then forced open the doors of the chapel. A Doncaster Council spokesman said they were "very sorry" for what happened. Mr Barratt's family said he died on 15 December, with members of the British Legion coming from "all over" to attend his service but were left stood in the cold and "chilled to the bone". Arrangements had been made for someone to come an hour before the funeral to open the building and put the heating on, but no-one arrived. Mr Barratt's son-in-law said the door was "pushed and shoved" by several people but it wouldn't open. Stuart Venables, from Mexborough, said: "Eventually the decision was made to bring in a small JCB which was used for digging the grave to try and ease the door open. "It didn't take long, just one push and the doors opened. A rousing cheer went up and we took Doug into the chapel." Mr Venables said attendees thought it was "very disrespectful", but added they also thought it would be a "funeral to be remembered for years". Dave Wilkinson, from the council, said: "We are very sorry for what has happened and will be making contact with the family to apologise in person. "We are looking into this and will be learning lessons so this does not happen again." A new lock has since been installed on the chapel doors. Mr Venables added: "If Doug had been stood outside, he would have been splitting his sides with laughter." The Londoners were announced as winners of best song and gave a speech before organisers revealed the prize should have gone to MC Abra Cadabra. "Of the many worthy winners of best song, we deeply regret a mistake was made," said Mobo organisers, in a statement blaming a "production error." Craig David, Drake, Kano and Lady Leshurr won the night's main prizes. David was named best male, capping a year in which he has returned from the pop wilderness with a number one album, Following My Intuition. Drake, whose single One Dance was at number one for 14 weeks earlier this year, was named best international act. And the winner is... When announcements go wrong While Birmingham MC Lady Leshurr, who learned to make music in her local youth club, took home best female act. The 27-year-old is perhaps less well-known than her fellow winners, but is poised for big things after a series of freestyle raps, called The Queen's Speech, went viral online. She is currently recording her debut album with US mega-producer Timbaland. "This is like a dream come true," said the rapper. "I've been watching the Mobos since ages ago, basically. To be here behind this stand... I'm shaking." Craig David's win came 16 years after he picked up the Mobo for best newcomer. "What a time to be alive. 2016 feels good," he said as he picked up his trophy from singer Katy B. "Thanks to everyone who's been rolling with me since 1999. "Can I say a huge thank you to the Mobos for supporting me since day one?" the star added. However, he went on to recognise his fellow nominees - including Skepta, Kano and Stormzy, all of whom have been at the frontline of the grime resurgence this year. Grime was well-represented in the night's other categories. Section Boyz took home best hip-hop, while Chip picked up the best grime prize. Kano won best album for Made In The Manor, a textured and reflective record, rooted in his east London upbringing. The star beat Mercury Prize-winner Skepta, and two other Mercury nominees, Laura Mvula and Michael Kiwanuka, to scoop the prize. He was unable to attend the ceremony, but sent a recorded message, holding aloft a chipped trophy. "My award's broken but I'm going to have a drink tonight," he said. WSTRN had kept their award for best song for almost an hour before hosts Rickie Williams and Melvin Odoom announced the error, explaining "someone picked up the wrong envelope". Abra Cadabra then accepted the award, accompanied by Krept and Konan, whose remix of his song was the eventual winner. WSTRN's night was not a complete loss, however. They went on to win the prize for best newcomers. Rap star Tinie Tempah pulled out of performing at the ceremony with hours to go. In a handwritten statement, the star blamed "music industry politics" and stressed: "The Mobos is a ceremony I have grown up watching and take pride in".

Fury, 28, has withdrawn from his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, scheduled for 29 October, because of reported mental health issues. The Englishman, who has not fought since beating Klitschko last November, postponed the original rematch in June. "Fury will be stripped of his titles and, after a legal battle, he'll say: 'No more, I'm done'," said Hearn. "It's going to be really messy and it might take a year to resolve. I know there are sensitivities around mental health issues but this is a business. "The governing bodies have had enough. The world heavyweight title is a huge part of their business and they've not made any money from it for a year." Fury beat Klitschko on points in Germany - the Ukrainian's first loss since 2004 - to pick up the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles, with American Deontay Wilder holding the WBC belt. Within two weeks Fury was stripped of the IBF title because he was unable to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov - and that belt is now held by Fury's fellow Briton Anthony Joshua. Hearn, who does not promote Fury, said Klitschko's team - including manager Bernd Boente - were keen for the 40-year-old to fight his own man - Joshua - on 29 October. But Hearn believed the predicted legal challenges from Fury's team made that match unlikely. "I spoke to Bernd Boente for half-an-hour on Saturday and the conversation was great, we all fancy the fight," said Hearn. "It does feel a little bit early - Joshua has only had 17 professional fights and Klitschko's experience worries me. But he looked awful against Fury. I think he's done." Joshua, 26, is scheduled to defend his title in Manchester on 26 November. Hearn added: "We're fighting in nine weeks, so we need to announce an opponent next week. "I think the WBA and WBO would sanction the fight and the deal would be easy to do. But Fury's legal battle to keep the belts will take too much time." Hearn said Joshua is more likely to make the second defence of his title against mandatory challenger Joseph Parker, from New Zealand. Hearn believes the WBA and WBO will both make Fury their 'champion in recess', meaning Klitschko could fight for the vacant titles in October before facing Joshua in a unification showdown next spring or summer. If Fury's team do take legal action, and the governing bodies' hands are tied, it would leave Klitschko in limbo. On Sunday, Fury's uncle and trainer Peter said his charge's medical condition was caused by a "witchhunt" conducted by the British media in the wake of his stunning upset of Klitschko, who had not lost for 11 years. But Hearn believes Fury's team will not be able to persuade the relevant governing bodies their fighter should hang on to his titles indefinitely. "If they just say, 'he needs time away from the sport', they're bang in trouble," said Hearn. "The governing bodies will ask: 'When will he be ready to fight?' And his doctor won't be able to tell them. Once they hear that, they'll make him champion in recess and say: 'Once you're fit, we'll give you another chance.'" Fury is under investigation for alleged doping, having been charged with an offence by the UK Anti-Doping Agency (Ukad) in June, after traces of a banned substance were allegedly found in a urine sample. The fighter has denied allegations of doping. It has also been alleged he recently refused to give a sample, having been visited by Ukad. An athlete who refuses to take a drugs test can be banned for four years. While Hearn stressed he had sympathy for Fury's health issues, he added those around him must take their share of the blame for his plight. "How can you unify the heavyweight division by beating Wladimir Klitschko in Germany and mess it up so badly?" said Hearn. "You couldn't make it up and the people who guide him have to be held responsible for what has happened. "I wanted Fury to fight Klitschko, because we wanted Joshua to fight Fury. A heavyweight world title unification between two Brits is gold dust. But everyone in boxing knew that the fight between Fury and Klitschko wouldn't happen and I don't think Fury will fight again. "Some people can't deal with being in the spotlight and maybe he thinks he'll never get that feeling again that he got from winning the world title." Preston led as Alex Baptiste poked home a corner at the far post but Blues were soon level through defender Ryan Shotton's powerful header. However the visitors reclaimed the lead within five minutes courtesy of Daniel Johnson's well struck free-kick. Birmingham struck the crossbar through David Cotterill before Che Adams found a right-foot volleyed finish from Jonathan Grounds' cross to equalise. The draw stretches Birmingham's unbeaten run to six league games and keeps them inside the top six on goal difference, but Gary Rowett's side almost fell to a second home defeat of the campaign late on. Callum Robinson fired in a shot from substitute Aiden McGeady's throughball which forced Adam Legzdins into a smart save. Robinson was twice denied by the Birmingham goalkeeper in the closing 10 minutes as Preston pushed for just a second away win of the season. Legzdins was also on hand to palm a powerful Greg Cunningham shot over the crossbar just after half-time. Match ends, Birmingham City 2, Preston North End 2.

Peter Kibisu, 23, sexually assaulted and strangled Elizabeth Nnyanzi, 31, in Harrow, north-west London. Kibisu had been lodging with Miss Nnyanzi's family at the time. He pleaded guilty to her murder in November last year but at the Old Bailey on Friday he also admitted raping her. His admission came at a hearing intended to decide whether to proceed with a rape trial. Following her murder, family members described Miss Nnyanzi as a "beautiful and talented" young woman, who had trained as a lawyer and taken up a job at a top firm shortly before her death. They described her as a "young star" and said her death was a "huge loss to society". Kibisu's lawyer told the court that his actions came like a "bolt from the blue". Sentencing will take place next month. Police in Uppsala were contacted in the morning by a woman who said she had seen a gang rape broadcast in a closed group on the site. "You have been raped," one of the men said at the end of the video and then laughed, according to the viewer. Police later confirmed they, and "many" others, had seen the footage. The Facebook group is said to have several thousand members. Police confirmed that they had found three men, aged between 19 and 25, and one woman at a local apartment. The men were arrested on the spot. Josefine Lundgren, 21, called the police when she saw the video. Speaking to Swedish tabloid Expressen, she said she saw one of the men tear the woman's clothes off and lie on top of her. She also said one of the men had a gun. Facebook Live shows a count of other people simultaneously watching the broadcast and Ms Lungren said she could see 60 other people viewing. "Three against one hahaha," one of the viewers wrote in the comments section underneath the video, she said. Online witnesses told Swedish media they had also seen a second video where the same woman then denied being raped, but there was speculation as to whether or not she had done so under her own free will. According to Sweden's state broadcaster SVT, the men were still filming the follow-up video when the police arrived. Facebook started offering live-streaming features at the end of 2015. It is now regularly used by news organisations for on-the-scene reporting, between friends and peers for fun, and by anyone wanting to share thoughts or events with a wide audience. However, it has also captured various crimes and acts of violence. Earlier this month, four people were charged for a hate crime in the US city of Chicago after a live-streamed video on Facebook showed a mentally disabled man being tortured. In June 2016, Antonio Perkins, 28, also from Chicago, was shot dead while live-streaming a video of himself on the site. Facebook Live also caught the aftermath of an incident in which a police officer shot and killed a man in St Paul, Minnesota in July 2016. After this, the social network issued more details on its live-streaming policy, saying it would be treated the same as for other content. The company said footage will not be removed simply because it is violent or graphic, but if it is shared to mock the victim or celebrate the violence it will be taken down. They said live videos can be reported to a team, which is on call 24 hours a day. Reviewers in the team can interrupt a live stream if it breaches Facebook's community standards. However, people complained when the Chicago torture video ran for 30 minutes, racking up thousands of views, before it was stopped. Murray, 30, can earn up to £350,000 in prize money by winning the tournament. He starts his campaign for a sixth Queen's title on Tuesday when he faces fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene. Seventy nine people died or are missing presumed dead after the blaze at Grenfell Tower in Kensington last week. The government has pledged to give £5,500 to all of those who lost their homes, with more than £200,000 of a £5m emergency fund so far given to families affected. In 2013, Murray donated his £73,000 winnings from Queen's to the Royal Marsden Centre, which had been treating his friend and Davis Cup doubles player Ross Hutchins for Hodgkin's lymphoma. The front counter service in Caerphilly, Chepstow, Maindee, Monmouth, Pontypool, Risca and Ystrad Mynach was closed or reduced in 2012. They were initially reopened in 2014 and following a consultation, Mr Johnston says they will stay open. "I'm delighted to announce that these stations will remain open," he said. The stations will open on weekdays 09:00-17:00 GMT; in addition, Abertillery station will open on Thursday and Friday 09:00-17:00 and Brynmawr station will open Monday to Wednesday 09:00-17:00. Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people had been inside the mine at Soma in Manisa province when an electrical fault triggered the blast. Rescuers worked through the night, but Mr Yildiz said hopes were fading of finding any more survivors. Worried relatives are gathered near the privately owned mine, about 450km (280 miles) west of the capital Ankara. By Selin GiritBBC Turkish Service Turkey has been on edge, waiting for some good news about the trapped miners. But as the hours have passed the picture now looks gloomier. TV footage shows relatives gathered anxiously at the state hospital where the injured are taken. Ambulances come and go. At the mine itself, rescue operations continue. As a miner emerges alive, cheers erupt followed by tears. Social media is buzzing with reaction. Some complain about the lack of mine security, an issue that Turkey does not have a good record on. Four years ago in Zonguldak, 30 miners died in an explosion. One of the worst mining accidents took place in the same town when more than 250 miners lost their lives in 1992. Mr Yildiz confirmed the latest death toll on Turkish TV and said some 80 people had been injured. He said that of the workers inside the mine at the time of the accident, only about 360 of them - including those killed - had been accounted for. Mr Yildiz said that carbon monoxide poisoning had claimed many lives. Oxygen was being pumped into the mine to help those still trapped. He later said it was becoming less likely that anyone else would be found alive. Three days of mourning have been declared by the government. The electrical fault triggered a power cut, making the mine cages unusable. Those trapped are reported to be 2km (1.2 miles) below the surface and 4km from the mine entrance. The blast happened at about 12:30 GMT on Tuesday. Initial reports said 17 people had died but the death toll leapt later in the day. TV footage showed rescuers helping workers from the mine, their faces and hard-hats covered in soot and dust. Some were carried on stretchers to waiting ambulances. Police were keeping the crowds back to allow emergency services in and out of the area. Sena Isbiler, a mother of one of the miners, stood on top of piles of wood, anxiously craning her neck to see those being led out of the mine. "I have been waiting for my son since early afternoon," she told AFP news agency. "I haven't heard anything about him yet." Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has postponed a trip to Albania over the accident and is to visit Soma instead, his office said. The mine's owners, Soma Komur Isletmeleri, said an investigation was under way but the accident occurred despite the "highest safety measures and constant controls". "Our main priority is to get our workers out so that they may be reunited with their loved ones," the owners said in a statement. Lignite coal mining is a major industry in the Soma area, helping to supply a nearby lignite-fired thermal power plant, but safety has long been a concern. An MP with Turkey's opposition CHP party has accused the government of rejecting a recent proposal for a parliamentary inquiry into mine accidents in Soma. Ozgur Ozel told Today's Zaman newspaper that the motion had substantial support among opposition parties. The country's worst mining disaster was in 1992, when 270 miners were killed near Zonguldak, on the Black Sea. Farkhunda, who was beaten to death by a Kabul mob last week, had been arguing with a mullah about his practice of selling charms to women at a shrine. In the course of the argument she was accused of burning the Koran and a crowd overheard and beat her to death. Hundreds of Afghans protested on Monday against the attack. The event has raised new questions about the pace of reform in Afghanistan. And there has been no attempt in the government to deny the seriousness of what happened. A spokesman for the interior ministry, Sediq Sediqi, said the father was right to say that the police could have done more to save Farkhunda. "We will have to work on our measures, on our teaching and training for our police across the country, and this incident will bring a lot of changes within us," he said. Farkhunda, 28, was beaten, hit by bats, stamped on, driven over, and her body dragged by a car before being set on fire. A policeman who witnessed the incident on Thursday told AP news agency that Farkhunda was arguing with a local mullah. Her father said she had complained about women being encouraged to waste money on the amulets peddled by the mullahs at the shrine. "Based on their lies, people decided Farkhunda was not a Muslim and beat her to death," Mohammed Nadir told AP. The policeman who saw the incident, Sayed Habid Shah, said Farkhunda had denied setting the Koran on fire. "She said I am a Muslim and Muslims do not burn the Koran," he said. "As more people gathered, the police were trying to push them away, but it got out of control," he added. An official investigator has also said there was no evidence she had burned the Koran. "Last night I went through all documents and evidence once again, but I couldn't find any evidence to say Farkhunda burnt the Holy Koran," General Mohammad Zahir told reporters at her funeral on Sunday. "Farkhunda was totally innocent." Police say they have detained 18 people over the incident, with more arrests expected. In addition, 13 policemen have been suspended for having failed to do enough to stop the attack. Shukria, a woman visiting the shrine on Monday, told the BBC that the attack was "not just an attack on Farkhunda, but on all Afghan women. They have killed us all". Demonstrators have called for justice and planted a commemorative tree. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has ordered an investigation into her death. The attack, near the Shah-Du-Shamshaira mosque and shrine, is thought to have been the first of its kind in Afghanistan. Breaking with tradition, women's rights activists carried the coffin at her funeral, a role usually performed by men. Farkhunda's family initially claimed she was mentally ill, but this has since been retracted by her father who said he was told to say so by police to reduce the chances of violent reprisals against them. London beat bids from Edinburgh, Manchester and several German regions to stage the Grand Depart. But last week, a day before contracts were meant to be signed, Transport for London (TfL) said it was pulling out. "To ensure value for money we must make difficult choices," Leon Daniels, managing director of surface transport at TfL, told BBC Sport. "We have always said that the return of the Tour was subject to funding." The timing of the decision has angered the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the French company which owns the race. As the body responsible for all transport policy in London, TfL would have provided the funds for staging the Tour's opening stages. London hosted a hugely successful Grand Depart in 2007 and the finish of the Tour's third stage in 2014. The first two stages of last year's Tour were held in Yorkshire, attracting an estimated four million spectators and boosting the economy by £100m, according to local organisers. TfL contributed £6m to the Grand Depart budget of £27m, which was almost as much as the total for two days of racing in 2007. Given the upfront costs and the prospect of major cuts to transport spending across the UK later this year, it is understood bosses at TfL and the Greater London Authority, its parent body, decided the city could not afford a third visit from the world's biggest bike race. It is believed the 2017 Grand Depart will now be held in Germany, which has not hosted a Tour stage since 2005. The Manche region of Normandy will host next year's Grand Depart, when Britain's Chris Froome will start as defending champion. Japan's Hirooki Arai, who came home third, was subsequently disqualified for a collision with Canada's Evan Dunfee, but was reinstated to the bronze medal position on appeal. Heffernan, 38, was eighth in the 20km in Beijing, ninth in London four years later and third in the 50km in 2012. He had previously made his debut in Sydney in 2000. "At 36-38km I thought I was going to win it," said Heffernan afterwards. "I got bad cramps then but it's still a magnificent performance. I'm still there or thereabouts so you have to take the positives. "This is the only day of the year that counts. Obviously I would have liked to have won a medal. I love training in the summer and I love training for these championships. "It's all about tunnel vision and getting ready for the big day," added the 2013 World Championship gold medallist. Brendan Boyce finished 19th in 3:53.59 but Alex Wright was forced to withdraw mid-race due to a fluid intake problem. Lancashire-born "Typhoon" Tyson's Test career lasted less than five years, but in 17 Tests he captured 76 wickets at a remarkable average of 18.56. He shone brightest as England won the 1954-55 Ashes series down under. Chosen ahead of fellow quick bowler Fred Trueman, Tyson took 28 wickets in five Tests, including 7-27 in the second innings at Melbourne. Media playback is not supported on this device In terms of England bowling performances in the Ashes, that 7-27 has only since been bettered by two bowlers - spinner Jim Laker, who took 9-37 and 10-53 at Old Trafford in 1956, and paceman Stuart Broad who took 8-15 at Trent Bridge earlier this year. After retiring at the age of 30 with 767 first-class wickets to his name, Tyson later emigrated to Australia, where he became a successful coach, commentator and writer. Despite his injury-hit, relatively short international career, Tyson was hailed as the fastest bowler of his era by Australian legends Sir Donald Bradman and the late Richie Benaud, as well as his rival Trueman. Former Australia batsman Dean Jones tweeted: "Sad to hear that Frank Tyson has passed away. Ex Vic coach. I was his student for a few of his books. Terrific cricketer. Terrific bloke." Rev Michael John Fry, 57, of Aigburth Vale, Liverpool pleaded guilty to eight offences over eight years ending on 1 January 2014. 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 was remanded on bail to be sentenced on 23 March at Liverpool Crown Court. 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. Judge Robert Warnock told the court Fry had been in the care of the community psychiatric team for about a year but had since been discharged from their care. He was bailed pending the writing of a pre-sentence report. Liam Sercombe gave Oxford the lead on 31 minutes with a simple tap-in at the far post after Marvin Johnson brushed off Byron Webster's unconvincing challenge and squared to him behind the Lions' defence. But just five minutes later, when there seemed little on, Morison connected beautifully on the volley from distance for his sixth League One goal of the season. Oxford top scorer Chris Maguire went close with a free-kick when he tried to catch out goalkeeper Jordan Archer at his near post, firing the effort into the side-netting. And, from a left-wing cross by Maguire, striker Dan Crowley saw his shot on the turn from eight yards deflect just wide. However, five minutes into the second half, Oxford's defence failed to deal with Mahlon Romeo's run and pull-back, and Aiden O'Brien fired home from 12 yards for what proved to be the winner. John Lundstram headed wide at a corner, a Tyler Roberts effort deflected onto the bar, and in stoppage time Curtis Nelson headed straight at Archer as Millwall held on.

As with last year's parade, only the Orangemen and their 13 notified bands can march past St Patrick's Church on Donegall Street in north Belfast. They must do so to the sound of a single drum beat. This year all music must stop 43 metres away from the church so there is no music within earshot of it. A planned residents' protest has also been restricted to a maximum of 50 people at two locations. The Orange Order has said it is appalled by the determination. "The commission is now simply a mouthpiece for republican propaganda, allowing them to dictate the terms of when, how and where loyal order parades are held," it said. "The invented new criteria of banning music within 'earshot' of a place of worship not in use, is as mischievous as it is absurd, and clearly put in place to further censor Protestant heritage on the supposed shared streets of Northern Ireland's capital city." North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds, of the DUP, said: "The latest determination by the Parades Commission on Donegall Street demonstrates that this is a bureaucratic monstrosity that has lost the run of itself, simply dances to the tune of republican residents, or a dangerous combination of both. "It is clear from the document that the Parades Commission gave serious consideration to banning music being played outside Clifton Street Orange hall. I wish that statement was a joke but it is not." However, SDLP assembly member Alban Maginness welcomed the determination. "This determination by the Parades Commission is sensible and I would hope that it sets the tone for this year's marching season," he said. "At every stage of this dispute all that the parishioners of St Patrick's and the residents of Carrick Hill have asked for is to be treated with respect." Mr Watson has faced calls to apologise, from Lord Brittan's brother Sir Samuel Brittan, over "unfounded accusations" after police dropped a rape inquiry. Mr Watson said he was sorry for distress caused to the Brittan family. But, in a blog for The Huffington Post, the MP said he had wanted the claims "properly investigated". Lord Brittan, whose career included two years as home secretary in Margaret Thatcher's government, died in January aged 75. He had not been told there was no case for him to answer over an alleged rape in 1967. Sir Samuel said Mr Watson "should apologise to my sister-in-law [Lady Brittan] for making unfounded accusations against my brother". Responding, Mr Watson admitted he should not have repeated a claim that Lord Brittan was "close to evil". He added: "I have said in the past that I am sorry for the distress Leon Brittan's family experienced as they grieved for him. I still am." But he said he had been told of "multiple allegations". He admitted he "did not and could not know if they were true" but said he thought they should be "fully investigated". "As the tributes flowed in from his lifelong friends, I felt for those people who claimed he abused them," he said. "The choice facing anyone who is presented with testimony of this kind is whether to pass it on to the authorities and urge them to investigate or to ignore it. "I chose the first option. I felt it was my duty to do so." The Crown Prosecution Service found in July 2013 that there was not enough evidence for a prosecution over the claim Lord Brittan had raped a 19-year-old female student in 1967. Mr Watson later called for a full review of all abuse allegations made against the peer. Officers subsequently interviewed Lord Brittan, who had terminal cancer at the time, but no charges were brought. Police have since said they would not have taken further action over the rape claim. London Mayor Boris Johnson has discussed the case with Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Met commissioner. Mr Johnson regards the delay in contacting Lord Brittan as "completely unacceptable". Tory MP Nigel Evans, himself cleared of sexual abuse, earlier told the BBC that Mr Watson had "set himself up as judge and jury". "Even when Leon had died, Tom Watson decided to repeat the allegations," Mr Evans said. "It is totally unfounded." Former Chancellor Norman Lamont said police investigations into historical abuse risked becoming a "witch-hunt". Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said: "I visited Lord Brittan several times in his last days and saw the suffering of a man under the shadow of the vilest accusations. This was an extremely painful time for his wife." Earlier this week, a vulnerable man who made sex abuse allegations against high-profile figures, including Lord Brittan, told the BBC he may have been led into making the claims by campaigners. The 20-year-old from Edinburgh will compete in the 3m springboard. She won gold at this month's British Championships and picked up a bronze medal in the same event at the European Championships in May. "There's been such a build up that it is a bit of relief," said Reid of her selection for Team GB. "It's so exciting but I'm already thinking, if I'm going, I want to do well and I'm not just going there to make up numbers. "I just want to go and do five really good dives and see where it takes me. "I don't think about positions or semi-finals or anything like that. I think about each dive individually and what will be, will be. "Over the last four years, I've been gaining international experience and I've got a good body of work to pull upon, so hopefully that will help me." Reid, who started diving aged six, missed out on a medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, finishing fifth in front of a home crowd. This year started well, with her display at the Rio World Cup in February ensuring Britain would have a 3m representative, before her European and British medal successes. "I did everything I could do and knew I had put myself in a good position," she said. "The biggest change we've made is mentally. We treat every competition, whether it's a club competition or a World Cup away in Brazil, the same as everything that I'm doing in training. "It takes the pressure away and I get into this zone and I go into auto pilot. "If I go in confident and believe in my ability and the training and work I've put in, that's definitely enough to stand me in good stead." Reid also collected a European gold medal alongside Tom Daley in the mixed 3m synchro, a non-Olympic event. "It was an amazing experience," she enthused. "There was so much media attention on Tom and he's a fantastic athlete, so it was great to have him almost push me to step up. "I wanted to prove that I was right to be his synchro partner at the Europeans and I think I did that." Lonely Planet put the area third in the top 10 world regions, behind destinations in India and Australia. The guide mentions Yorkshire's "rugged moorlands, heritage homes and cosy pubs" and that next year's Tour de France's grand depart will be in Leeds. The 13th Century York Minster cathedral also makes it into the guide's top 10 global "sights to make you feel small". The guide also refers to the success of Yorkshire athletes - including heptathlete Jessica Ennis, cyclist Ed Clancy and boxer Nicola Adams - in the 2012 Olympics, which resulted in winning seven gold medals. It said the medals had added to the Yorkshire population's belief "their county is better than - and really the best of - all the English counties". Gary Verity, chief executive of tourism body Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "Endorsements rarely come much better than this from a guide that has a worldwide reputation. "This is massive for Yorkshire and our thousands of amazing tourism businesses, destinations and events." He added the organisation had worked hard to put Yorkshire on the map because "we know how amazing and unique our county is". Yorkshire has also previously beaten Berlin, London and Madrid to win the title of Europe's Leading Destination at the World Travel Awards. Yorkshire Day is celebrated every year on 1 August. In the same guide, Scotland is named as one of the top countries to visit next year as it prepares to host the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. The destinations featured in the book were selected after they all met certain criteria. A Lonely Planet spokeswoman said: "It could be that there is something special going on that year, that there's been recent development and a lot of buzz about the place, or that we think it's up-and-coming and suggest travellers visit before the crowds do." Liverpool's Cavern Club and the Abbey Road recording studios in north-west London are given special mentions for 2014, which will include the 50th anniversary of the emergence of Beatlemania. London's Savile Row is also mentioned as "one of the best places to get dressed for success". The body of the woman - believed to be 37-year-old Jessica McGraa, from London - was discovered at a flat on Union Terrace on Friday afternoon. Bala Chinda, 25, was charged with murder and theft at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody. Police said the woman was "strongly believed" to be Jessica McGraa. Formal identification is yet to take place. Det Supt David McLaren, from Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, is appealing to anyone who saw or spoke to Jessica McGraa in the days before her death to contact them. He said: "In particular, I am appealing for anyone who was in Jessica's company or who spoke to her on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday 12 February to come forward as a matter of urgency. "Piecing together the events leading up to her body being discovered on Friday afternoon is crucial to our investigation. "Jessica is also believed to have sometimes used the name Bianca, so this may be a name that people are more familiar with. "Although a man has been arrested and charged we continue to gather evidence and would appeal for anyone who has information to contact us." The Essure implant is used to permanently sterilise women, but can cause side effects and complications. One woman - who later had her uterus removed - said she was left suicidal due to the "unbearable" pain, and felt she was a burden to her family. The manufacturer says Essure is safe and the benefits outweigh the risks. The sale of the implants in the EU was temporarily suspended this month. Manufacturer Bayer has asked hospitals in the UK not to use the device during this time. Laura Linkson, who was fitted with the Essure device in 2013, said the pain left her suicidal. "The device was sold to me as a simple and easy procedure. I was told that I'd be in and out of the doctor's office in 10 minutes and that there'd be no recovery time. "I went from being a mum who was doing everything with her children, to a mum that was stuck in bed unable to move without pain, at some points being suicidal. "I felt like I was a burden on everyone around me," she added. The small coil implants, which are made of nickel and polyester (PET) fibres, are used as a sterilisation device to stop eggs reaching the womb. They are inserted into the fallopian tubes where they trigger inflammation, causing scar tissue to build up and eventually block the tubes, known as a hysteroscopic sterilisation. They can cause intense pain, and some women are thought to react badly to the nickel and plastic. Because of the way the coils attach to the fallopian tubes, the only way to take them out is to remove a woman's fallopian tubes and often her uterus. In other cases the device has been found to perforate a fallopian tube and fallen out, embedding itself elsewhere in the body. Victoria Dethier was implanted with Essure in 2012 and for three years could not work out why she felt so unwell. "There were moments where I couldn't get out of bed I was in so much pain. It felt like I was dying, like something was killing me from the inside," she said. She thinks her body was reacting to the PET fibres designed to cause inflammation. She had a hysterectomy to remove the device in 2015. "Straight away there was a difference, I'd experienced a horrible taste in my mouth and that had gone," she explained. "I'd lost a lot of hair and that came back within 12 months, it was incredible." The medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (MHRA) has been criticised for not responding to the increasing evidence regarding the device. In 2015, a study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) suggested that women who had a hysteroscopic sterilisation were 10 times more likely to need follow-up surgery than those who had a traditional sterilisation - 2.4% of those surveyed, as opposed to 0.2% amongst those having a standard sterilisation. In the US more than 15,000 women have reported problems to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including pain, allergic reactions and "migration of device". Carl Heneghan, from the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, has criticised the regulator's failure to act on such findings. "How much evidence do you need to say let's withdraw this from the market?" he asked. Victoria Dethier is angry that she and so many other women feel they have been ignored. "No-one is listening to us," she said. "There are many women coming forward... we need to be acknowledged." The full extent of the problem in the UK is not known. The MHRA rejected the Victoria Derbyshire programme's Freedom of Information request asking how many women have reported problems. The NHS does not have figures for the total number of women who have been fitted with Essure, or who have had it removed. However, the clinical trial that led to the device being approved has been criticised for not considering the long-term effects of the implants. "The trial... only followed up women for one year, so nobody has a real understanding of what happens with this device after two years, three years, five years," Mr Heneghan explained. Some women who have experienced problems say they were not informed about the risks. But Ben Peyton-Jones, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, said the device should still be used in some instances. "I think it has a place for women who can't have keyhole surgery and who are explained the risks very carefully," he said. "When used correctly, according to the manufacturer's guidance and in trained hands, it is safe." The sale of Essure implants in the EU has now been suspended for further investigation. Hospitals have been asked by Bayer not to use their existing stocks during this time. It is a voluntary request and up to individual trusts to decide what to do. The company said that independent reviews of Essure had concluded that the benefits outweighed the risks. "Patient safety and appropriate use of Essure are the greatest priorities for Bayer, and the company fully stands behind Essure as an appropriate choice for women who desire permanent contraception," it added in a statement. "Many women with Essure rely on this form of contraception without any side effects." The MHRA said it had no evidence to suggest this product was unsafe, and that the recent suspension did not suggest any increased risk to patient safety. It said it was important for healthcare professionals to discuss the risks with patients before a procedure.

But now an Italian airport has decided to waive the 100ml maximum limit - as long as the liquid is pesto. More than 500 jars have made it through since Genoa's Cristoforo Colombo airport launched the "Il pesto è buono" (Pesto is good) scheme on 1 June. The cost? A donation to Flying Angels, which flies sick children abroad for treatment. Pesto - a popular pasta sauce made with basil, cheese, and pine nuts - is a local speciality in Genoa. The airport said the brainwave arose after staff were faced with "hundreds of jars that were seized in airport security checks". Tourists with pesto jars of up to 500g can ask for a special sticker in exchange for a €0.50 (£0.44; $0.55) charity donation - although the airport says many are donating more. The pesto is then scanned in a special x-ray machine before proceeding onto the plane as hand luggage. Foreigners are not the only ones grateful for the pesto-preserving initiative. According to the airport, Genoese travelling out of Italy are delighted to find they can take the much-loved foodstuff along. There are some rules, however: Passengers can take either one 500g jar, or two jars up to 250g. They must be flying directly from Genoa. And crucially, the pesto must be Genovese. The former Wales fly-half joined the region in August 2014 after previously coaching the Wales Under-20 side. In October, Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac also signed a new two-year contract until the summer of 2018. "I'm grateful to Wayne for allowing me to do my job from day one," Hayward told the Scarlets website. "I'm very fortunate to work with a very honest and hard-working group of players. Defensively, we still have a long way to go but the potential is exciting." General manager Jon Daniels added: "The addition of (Hayward's) signature, following on from the news that we have retained Wayne's services, shows the coaching staff's eagerness to continue to develop this current group of talented players." Scarlets currently lie second in the Pro12 table, two points behind leaders Connacht after eight matches of the season. On Monday, Mr Obama told the Reuters news agency he had "made it very clear" China had to change its policy if it wanted to do business with the US. But Beijing said it needed the powers to combat terrorism and tackle leaks. It also suggested the West was guilty of having double standards. "The legislation is China's domestic affair, and we hope the US side can take a right, sober and objective view towards it," said Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying. "On the information-security issue, there was a [recent] media revelation that a certain country embedded spying software in the computer system of another country's Sim card maker, for surveillance activities. This is only one out of the recently disclosed cases. "All countries are paying close attention to this and taking measures to safeguard their own information security, an act that is beyond any reproach." The case she was referring to involved allegations that US cyber-spies had hacked a Dutch Sim card manufacturer in order to help decrypt their targets' communications. At another press conference, parliamentary spokeswoman Fu Ying drew attention to the fact that the US government had imposed restrictions on Chinese companies including Huawei and ZTE. And she suggested that Beijing's proposals were in line with the same kind of access to internet correspondence sought by the US and British governments. "We will definitely continue to listen to extensive concerns and all the parties' views, so we can make the law's formulation more rigorous," she added. The rules are part of a proposed counter-terrorism law set to be discussed by China's annual parliament session, the National People's Congress (NPC), which opens on Thursday. President Obama's comments had followed the publication of a fresh draft of the proposed law, which was made public last week. It "would essentially force all foreign companies, including US companies, to turn over to the Chinese government mechanisms where they can snoop and keep track of all the users of those services", the US leader said. "As you might imagine tech companies are not going to be willing to do that," he added. Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle and IBM are among firms that would potentially be affected. While the comments by Chinese officials were measured, the government's press service, Xinhua, was more critical. It accused the US leader of arrogance and hypocrisy, noting that the FBI had criticised Apple and Google last year for building encryption into their smartphone operating systems, and again drew attention to allegations about the US National Security Agency's activities made public by the whistleblower Edward Snowden. "With transparent procedures, China's anti-terrorism campaign will be different from what the United States has done: letting the surveillance authorities run amok and turn counter-terrorism into paranoid espionage and peeping on its civilians and allies," Xinhua wrote. "Contrary to the accusations of the United States, China's anti-terror law will put no unfair regulatory pressures on foreign companies, because the provisions will apply to both domestic and foreign firms." The Conservative party has indicated it wants to expand the UK's cyber-spies' surveillance powers it if wins the May election. "Our manifesto will make clear that we will... use all the legal powers available to us to make sure that, where appropriate, the intelligence and security agencies have the maximum capability to intercept the communications of suspects while making sure that such intrusive techniques are properly overseen," Home Secretary Theresa May told Parliament in January. One expert said it should be no surprise that the West was finding it difficult to prevent China seeking greater cyber-surveillance powers of its own, but added there were good reasons to fear its proposals. "Either behind the scenes or increasingly openly, the US and UK are justifying similar behaviour for their own purposes, but are extremely concerned when China asks for its own capabilities," said Dr Joss Wright, from the Oxford Internet Institute. "But what we don't want to see is a world in which internet-based products and services are riddled with backdoors by every state that says it needs to act against terrorism. "Backdoors are always a concern because they result in a system that is insecure by default, and which can be exploited. That makes everyone less safe." Yarnold won the skeleton title at Sochi 2014, but took a 12-month sabbatical after completing a career grand-slam with world gold last year. The 27-year-old also married long-term partner James Roche last month. "I'm incredibly refreshed and a world away from the emotional exhaustion that I was suffering from," she said. "Having a year to solely focus on training in the gym reminded me of what I love most about my job - challenging yourself physically and mentally to be better than you've been." In her absence, team-mate Laura Deas secured one World Cup victory last season. However, Yarnold is determined to return to her best form and ensure a GB slider is regularly topping the podium leading into the next Olympic Games. "I'd like the World Championship trophy back on my mantelpiece and retaining my title at the 2018 Olympics is of course in my sights," she said. "I am even more motivated to be a better slider than I was before." Yarnold spent much of her year away from the British Skeleton programme using the 'Ben Ainslie Racing' training facilities, near her home in Portsmouth, in order to maintain her fitness. She will continue to divide her time between that base and British Skeleton's setup at the University of Bath during the summer before returning for the season-opening World Cup race in December. "Lizzy reiterated her desire to succeed at a second Olympics on numerous occasions and there is no reason why she can't go on and achieve even more," said GB Skeleton performance advisor Andi Schmid. "Although she wasn't out on the ice last season, we worked very closely with her in terms of a specific training programme to ensure she would be ready to kick on again when she returned." Media playback is not supported on this device The police community support officer (PCSO) was driving with his wife when he saw the two-year-old in Shobnall Road, Burton-upon-Trent, police said. The girl told him she could not wake her mother, Nicolla Rushton, and led him to her inside their home. The 30-year-old's death is not being treated as suspicious. The officer, who is not being named, stayed with the girl until the emergency services arrived. Ch Insp Steve Maskrey, from Staffordshire Police, praised the officer and the community for helping police following the discovery on 6 January. "This is a brilliant piece of work by him that shows that we are never off-duty," he said. "The officer and his wife took the time to look after the little girl and stay with her until emergency services arrived. Sadly, nothing could be done to help the woman. "My thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time." The girl is now being cared for by family. An inquest into Ms Rushton's death is expected to take place in due course. Prosecutors said they came from a type of tiger that became extinct in the 1980s, and one of the dead animals may have been among the last of its kind. Dovile Vaitkeviciute, who traded on the auction site as Mr Muffins Tiny Shop, admitted five offences in court. The 31-year-old, of Woodstock Avenue, Nottingham, was given a six-month sentence, suspended for two years. Vaitkeviciute was prosecuted after police saw one of the adverts on eBay. One of the skins was advertised for £5,000. Animal rugs are classed as antiques and can be legally sold if the creature was killed prior to 1947. However, an expert examined the skins and thought both had been killed after 1947. Further tests indicated one of the tigers was killed in the late 1970s. Crown Prosecution Service lawyer Yemi Awosika said sales of such items was a "highly lucrative criminal business" which threatened the survival of tigers in the wild. "Sadly the sub-species of tiger that these skins came from became extinct in the 1980s and a prosecution expert said this particular tiger may well have been one of the last of its kind. "That these items were from a species that is already extinct shows how critical it is that we prosecute this illegal criminal activity," she added. Tigers are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. In order to trade tiger skins, sellers need to prove they originate before 1947, the item is tanned and lined and they were obtained legally. Source: Crown Prosecution Service Police raided a home in Mark Road, Haringey, London, where Vaitkeviciute was living, in 2014. Officers seized several animal skins but the defendant continued to offer a second tiger rug for sale while still under investigation. She pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly/ recklessly making a false statement/representation to obtain a permit/certificate and four counts of purchasing/offering to purchase/selling/keeping for sale a specimen of an endangered species. As well as the suspended sentence, Vaitkeviciute was ordered by Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work, pay £605 costs, and a £80 victim surcharge. The A48 in Morriston has been shut and there is severe traffic in the area following the collision at Morriston Cross. Emergency services are at the scene. Traffic is also affected on Sway Road and Woodfield Street and in both directions on the A48 Pentrepoeth Road. Heidi Loughlin, of Portishead was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and detailed her wishlist on the BBC Radio Bristol Facebook page on Monday. Among the items on the list were a road trip across America and to marry her partner of 10 years, Keith Smith. She has since been inundated with offers of help from all over the world. The kind gestures include a free-of-charge apartment in the French alps for skiing and a trip in the cockpit of a plane for her sons, Noah and Tait. Ms Loughlin described the response to the bucket list as "insane", and said her "jaw hit the floor" when she read the messages. She has vowed to take up all the offers "whether it's on the list or not". "People are amazing. I was so cynical before all this cancer malarkey, but it's really changed my outlook on so many things," she said. "It's made me realise inherently how good people are, and how kind people are. I can't get across how much this means to me." The 34-year-old found she had the disease when she was pregnant with her third child last year, but delayed chemotherapy so she could continue the pregnancy. Ali Louise was born 12 weeks early, but died eight days later. He made the announcement in a video message outlining what he intends to do first when he takes office in January. The TPP trade deal was signed by 12 countries which together cover 40% of the world's economy. Mr Trump also pledged to reduce "job-killing restrictions" on coal production and stop visa abuses. But there was no mention of repealing Obamacare or building a wall on the southern border with Mexico, two actions he said during the campaign he would do as soon as he assumed power. The massive trade deal was agreed in 2015 by nations including the US, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico, but has not yet been ratified by the individual countries. Its aim was to deepen economic ties and boost growth, including by reducing tariffs. There were also measures to enforce labour and environmental standards, copyrights, patents and other legal protections. But its opponents say it was negotiated in secret and it favoured big corporations. Read more about the TPP and why it matters How China gains from US leaving TPP Asia's winners and losers from Trump's TPP dump During the US presidential election campaign, Mr Trump gave broadbrush arguments against the pact, and used plenty of colourful language. In June 2016 he described it as "another disaster done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country, just a continuing rape of our country". In another speech he referred to the TPP as "the greatest danger yet". But while there was plenty of talk about "taking back control" of the US economy, there were few specifics. Announcing the plan to pull out of the TPP, he said that the US would "negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores". In the video message, Mr Trump said his governing agenda would be based on "putting America first" and that he and the new administration would "bring back our jobs". Besides quitting the TPP, he committed to several other executive actions that he said he would take on day one. He said he would cancel restrictions on US energy production. Last year, President Obama brought in the Clean Power Plan, an anti-climate change measure which aimed to reduce carbon emissions from the power sector by 32% by 2030 compared with 2005 levels. The plan, already on hold due to legal challenges, would have restricted coal power plants and came up against strong opposition in areas where leaders said the plans would devastate local economies. Mr Trump said: "I will cancel job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy, including shale energy and clean coal, creating many millions of high-paying jobs. "That's what we want - that's what we've been waiting for." What would the Clean Power Plan have involved? Mr Trump, a real estate mogul himself, has been strongly opposed to business regulations throughout his campaign. He blamed them for stifling business. A month before the election, he said that if he won, 70% of regulations could be axed, but safety and environmental rules would stay. Now he has pledged that for every new regulation brought into force, two old regulations will be eliminated. In the video, Mr Trump also committed to: How might Trump 'drain the swamp'? Political leaders and commentators in Asia in particular have reacted strongly. Japan's prime minister said the TPP would be "meaningless" without the involvement of the US and the economist Harumi Taguchi said China could move in to fill the "void" left by the deal's collapse. China continues to push alternatives - the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RECP), which would include Japan, India and Australia, but not the US, and the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP). China's foreign ministry said on Tuesday it would keep "pushing" to conclude talks on the RECP and warned against free trade agreements becoming "fragmented and politicised". Malaysia's prime minister said it was President-elect Trump's right "to make the policy decisions he thinks right". A spokesman for Canada's trade ministry said the government would continue to work on the TPP. "We made a commitment to consult Canadians on the TPP and we will abide by that commitment," he told the BBC. Read reaction in full Asian leaders have had some time to prepare for this news - but that is not to say Mr Trump's decision will not sting. The death of the TPP is a blow to many parts of emerging Asia. Vietnam and Malaysia were set to gain the most from the deal. They already have access to the US markets for their products, but were hoping to see tariffs on some of their key exports vanish altogether. Seven Asia-Pacific countries had signed up to the deal and for them, this may have lasting economic and political repercussions. They could go ahead, as some have signalled, and continue with the deal on their own - but what would be the point without unfettered access to the US market? Read more The president-elect said in the video that "truly great and talented men and women, patriots are being brought in and many will soon be a part of our government". He has spent the last week starting to put together his new team. Some key appointments have been made, but not without controversy. Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who was turned down as a federal judge in 1986 due to racism complaints, will head the Justice Department. And the news that Steve Bannon, former editor-in-chief of the conservative Breitbart website, was the new White House strategist was welcomed by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Meanwhile, one of Mr Trump's immigration advisers, Kris Kobach, was photographed meeting the president-elect while holding a document that contained some hardline proposals. Among them was the reintroduction of registration for people arriving from mostly Muslim countries, which was brought in after the 11 September attacks but later dropped. A lion, or, more likely, a pride of lionesses - who are the real hunters - can ruin a small farmer's livelihood by killing even a single cow, especially one that is pregnant or producing milk. Thanks to Botswana's excellent conservation policies, the country has one of Africa's largest wild lion populations - estimated at 3,000. Recent dry weather in southern Africa however is shrinking wildlife protection areas, while farmers are forced to seek new grazing lands. As a result, lions are increasingly coming into contact with humans. Richer commercial ranchers can erect fences to try to keep them at bay. For poorer subsistence farmers, though, it is harder. At night they herd their livestock into stockades made of logs and thorn trees to deter the lions. They also rely on barking dogs and perhaps the bravest might have once attacked lions with a spear. Some resort to shooting them or putting out poison, although hunting is illegal in Botswana. Short of eradicating big cats, which would be unconscionable, there are few ideas being formulated to reduce the impact of their increasing presence. However, one conservationist who has been working with the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust thinks he might have found a solution. On a field trip, Neil Jordan watched a lion stalk an impala for 30 minutes but suddenly abandon his prey when the antelope turned and looked at the predator. This made him think that perhaps it was the eye contact that had saved the impala. What if, he reasoned, an eye was painted on the rump of the animal? Would that have the same effect? "I was very reluctant to share the idea at first because it does seem a bit wacky," Mr Jordan admits. "But when we ran a short trial in 2015, we got promising, but as yet inconclusive results." In the initial study, Mr Jordan and his team painted large eyes on a third of a herd of cows on a farm on the edge of a wildlife area near Maun, in the north of the country. The results were encouraging. Lions killed three of the 39 unpainted cows but none of the 23 painted cows was taken. "I cheekily called our work the i-Cow project," says Mr Jordan, who is based at the University of New South Wales in Australia. "It's the opposite approach to Apple in being a low-cost, non-technological solution." Ron Crous, who took part in the initial study needed little persuasion to get involved. "I've been trying to farm here for the past four years and I lost a sixth of my cattle," he says. It was slow at first, Mr Crous says, but after a while the lions realised there was a permanent supply of food in the area. "In the past eight months I have lost half of the calves born. "Some of the local guys have had to revert to killing lions in defence of their stock," Mr Crous says. "The sad fact is that the compensation promised by the government does not cover their losses. I have always been a conservationist, so getting to work with this initiative was easy." This year Mr Jordan is expanding the study to two other nearby cattle farms, painting half the 60-strong herds in August. Mr Jordan has also raised funds to use radio collars and GPS logging for more accurate results on the encounters between lions and cows. The eyes are made by cutting out shapes on foam which are stuck to a wooden board. These are painted and stamped as a pair of eyes either side of the cow's tail. The paint lasts three to four weeks before it must be reapplied. Many experts wish Mr Jordan well, but remain sceptical. Gus Mills, a southern Africa specialist in carnivore biology, says that lions are opportunists and able to exploit many conditions. "Why would they not soon learn that the marks on a cow's backside are innocuous?" he reasons. Kevin Richardson, a South African animal behaviourist and so-called "Lion Whisperer" has worked closely with lions for more than two decades and told the BBC: "Honestly, I think this is wishful thinking, but I'll gladly eat my words if it works. "I'm sceptical about whether lions are that stupid to be fooled into thinking that fake eyes are real. We've performed some cognitive experiments on lions and found that they learn quickly, so you may fool them once, but not twice." Paul Funston, Senior Lion Program Director for the global wild cat conservation organisation Panthera, largely agrees: "Lions are often wary of new things. (They) assess risk and prefer sticking to options that they perceive are relatively safer. "Could the eyes painted on the rumps of cattle disrupt the ever-cautious lion enough to seek out an alternative? We eagerly await the research results to evaluate its effectiveness." Mr Jordan accepts that what conservations call habituation is an issue with almost all non-lethal deterrents. But, he says, many of the affected livestock areas do not have resident lions who would be continually exposed to the same eye patterns and thus ignore them. Only time and trials will establish if lions are indeed cleverer than we think. Scientists like Mr Funston are deeply worried about the future of the lion, as growing human populations make increasing demands on grazing land. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates that the lion population has declined by more than 40% over the last two decades. Habitat loss and killing in defence of livestock are two of the most critical reasons for this decline. 'There is a fundamental shortage of non-lethal tools for farmers to use in dealing with this human-wildlife conflict," Mr Jordan says. "I believe we need support for creative thinking to make a difference. It may prove to be wishful thinking, but I think we need to formally test it and other non-lethal tools if we want a future for wild lions. It might not work, we're still testing it." More from Botswana Direct. A survey carried out by a drug control group has found that about 2.8 million people are regularly consuming drugs in the country. Opium, the main ingredient in heroin, is the country's most popular narcotic, making up 67% of consumption. Production of the drug in neighbouring Afghanistan has risen in recent years. A spokesman for the Drug Control Organisation, Parviz Afshar, said that marijuana and its derivatives accounted for 12% of drug consumption in Iran, with methamphetamine, a stimulant that affects the central nervous system, accounting for about 8%. The head of a working group on drugs in the Expediency Council, Saeed Safatian, told the official IRNA news agency that the number of drug users might be even higher. Mr Safatian said this was because respondents approached for the survey on which the figures were based did not mention relatives who were addicts, fearing social opprobrium. Afghanistan produces some 90% of the world's opium, which is extracted from poppy resin and refined to make heroin. Iran is a major transit point for Afghan-produced opiates heading to Europe. Opium production surged in Afghanistan after the US and its allies sent military forces into the country in 2001 with the aim of overthrowing the Taliban and eliminating al-Qaeda. He told BBC Radio 4's PM programme he hopes centrists would become more involved in the party's front line. In a wide-ranging interview, he also revealed he had to seek police advice after receiving death threats. And he described how Jeremy Corbyn replied "oh, go on then", after being told it was his "turn" to be the left's candidate for Labour Party leader. Mr McDonnell said he feared the left would face "crushing defeat" if they fielded a candidate - but that now Mr Corbyn is leader, he believes the party will win the 2020 general election. Dismissing the prospect of any MPs being forced out, he told PM: "Almost on a daily basis, I'm saying there is no way there are going to be deselections and we would not support them. "Quite the reverse - we want people back involved." He specifically said he hoped Chuka Umunna would "come back", but named the former business secretary as one of those who had turned down serving in the shadow cabinet "on the basis of policies they had never read", describing such a move as "extraordinary". "I'm hoping all of them will play a role because a lot of lessons have got to be learned by all of us really," said Mr McDonnell. He said while social media is a useful tool, he added that "of course there are trolls out there", describing how he had to speak to the police to boost his security. "You get used to death threats after a while," the shadow chancellor said. "I had a meeting with the police on Monday morning because I had a couple of emails from someone. "Once you get one you think 'oh never mind', but once they've followed it up, that triggered the meeting with the cops. "They came in just to give some advice and they have done this thing about more security at the office and they met my wife just to sort out the security at home. "It's appalling and it shouldn't be in politics." On Mr Corbyn's nomination to be Labour leader, Mr McDonnell said he had convened meetings with left organisations who argued that a candidate should be put forward - despite his assertion that to do so would be "a disaster for the left". He told PM: "We went around the table and said, 'come on, alright. We're under so much pressure. We've got to run a candidate'. "So I said, 'I've done it twice, not again. I couldn't get on the ballot paper'. "Diane [Abbott] had run twice and didn't want to do it. And so then we turned to Jeremy and said, 'well - it's your turn' and he said, 'oh, go on then' and that was it." He described it as "really exciting" to be shadow chancellor, adding: "I was expecting a quiet drift into elder statesmanhood on the left." Mr McDonnell said he had promised Mr Corbyn not to make any more jokes - but claimed some members of the public enjoyed his decision to throw a copy of Mao's Little Red Book to Chancellor George Osborne in the Commons. "I'm reckless with my jokes and I've promised Jeremy no more jokes," he added. The Strangford MP said victims of the Troubles want closure and justice. He referred to the death of his cousin, Kenneth Smyth, murdered by the IRA, and other UDR members he knew personally. Figures obtained by the BBC have challenged claims that investigations into Troubles killings are unduly focused on those committed by the Army. The PSNI figures show investigations into killings by the Army account for about 30% of its legacy workload. Mr Shannon was speaking during a debate brought forward by the DUP on the issue of investigating former members of the security forces during the Troubles. Clearly upset and crying, Mr Shannon told fellow MPs that there was no multi-million pound investigation into the murder of his relative and he said it was wrong to suggest that one life was worth more than another. "I resent the idea, at the present, that one life is worth more than another - it's not," Mr Shannon said. Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland's minister for foreign affairs, Charlie Flanagan, has said prosecutions must be "vigorously pursued" in all unlawful troubles related deaths, regardless of the perpetrator. Speaking at an event organised by Relatives for Justice on Thursday evening, Mr Flanagan said: "Regardless of who someone was and regardless of what they were doing, there is a requirement to effectively and meticulously investigate their death. "It is not for governments to say to the bereaved that their loss or suffering is of greater or lesser worth than that or their neighbour or even their adversary." Mr Flanagan said "the process is not about seeking to find an artificial balance or equivalence but about ensuring that we have a comprehensive approach. That means looking at all Troubles related deaths regardless of who the perpetrator was." Mr Flanagan added that "there can be no hierarchy of victims". "The Stormont House institutions set out a comprehensive, inclusive approach to dealing with our troubled past which also meets the obligations on State Parties - including the British and Irish governments - under the European Convention on Human Rights," he said. SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie said inquiries "must be balanced and fair" and that the processes "must be set by victims and survivors, with truth and accountability at its very core". She said that "no one is or should be above the rule of law". Ulster Unionist MP Danny Kinahan said there is a moral duty to look after service personnel. The South Antrim MP said: "Unfortunately, too often, our troops have faced baseless accusations and have been dragged through the courts unnecessarily." "No one is above the law regardless of whether they are in a uniform or not," he added. Ms Ritchie acknowledged that inquests and prosecutions can look disproportionate, but they are only "part of what we are doing" and everyone should face justice. Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire spoke in favour of reforming legacy tribunals in Northern Ireland. The police and armed forces cannot "act above [the law] or outside it", he said, but noted that the vast majority acted "honestly and with bravery". He said that where soldiers face legal action, the government will supply counsel and "taxpayer-funded legal support will be provided" for as long as necessary. He said, however, that in the case of Northern Ireland, the legacy cases have favoured those against the state. He said that the system in Northern Ireland is not "delivering for anyone", and promised - in line with the Conservative manifesto - to reform the legacy tribunals and fully implement the Stormont House Agreement. He described those who use the courts to make money off legacy cases as "appalling", DUP MP Ian Paisley said the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland, Barra McGrory, should remove himself from any involvement in legacy cases involving former members of the security forces because of a "perceived conflict of interest". Conservative Sir Gerald Howarth accused Mr McGrory of issuing "a fatwa" to the media to suppress criticism of his treatment of veterans. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) said it was "aware of the debate and the breadth of political opinion expressed in the House of Commons" on Thursday. "The PPS is wholly independent and, as the secretary of state has outlined, 'it is wrong to suggest that the PPS is applying itself to one side'," it added. "There is no reason for a perception that the PPS does anything other than apply the law as it currently stands in Northern Ireland and does so without fear, favour or prejudice. "All of our decisions are taken in full compliance with the PPS Code for Prosecutors." On Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May attacked those she claimed have made a business of dragging soldiers through the courts over incidents in Northern Ireland. She told MPs the government would ensure any Stormont investigative bodies have a legal duty to be fair, balanced and proportionate. Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly said on Thursday that Mr Brokenshire's remarks in the House of Commons were "an attempt by the British establishment to grant immunity to state forces involved in the conflict". "Today James Brokenshire repeated the crass comments of British prime minister Theresa May that it is 'appalling when people try to make a business of dragging our brave troops through the courts'," Mr Kelly said. He added that Mr Brokenshire's remarks were "dangerous and disgraceful". Media playback is not supported on this device GB's world number one Fox-Pitt and Chilli Morning had the second fence down to hand individual victory to German Sandra Auffarth and Opgun Louvo. Germany reclaimed the team title, won by Britain in 2010, with impeccable jumping to preserve an overnight lead. "I'm happy to have clung on to a medal," Fox-Pitt told BBC Sport. "Chilli Morning had a fence down, which is a little bit frustrating, but he could have had two - he was leg-weary. "I'd love to have won gold but I'm more relieved that I got bronze, than frustrated." Fox-Pitt, 45, remains without an individual major championship title, having taken silver at the 2010 World Equestrian Games aboard Cool Mountain and twice finished second at the European Championships. The team silver ensured Britain have secured their qualification for the Rio 2016 Olympics alongside Germany, bronze medallists the Netherlands and France, Australia and Ireland, who completed the top six. Defending world champion Michael Jung, forced to ride back-up horse Fischerrocana FST through injury to star ride La Biosthetique Sam FBW, finished second behind compatriot Auffarth. Zara Phillips and High Kingdom, the first British combination into Caen's D'Ornano Stadium for Sunday's showjumping finale, delivered an impressive clear round which saw the 2006 world champion take 11th place. However, two fences down for Tina Cook and De Novo News - who placed 16th - eased the pressure on Germany, after Ingrid Klimke had gone clear with showjumping specialist FRH Escada JS. Jung and Auffarth produced back-to-back clear rounds to put team gold beyond Britain and demand a clear round from Fox-Pitt to have any hope of individual victory. "We're catching them," insisted Phillips - part of Britain's Olympic silver medal-winning team in 2012 - when asked if champions Germany could be overhauled at Rio 2016. With the team medals settled, Chilli Morning - a stallion in only his second showjumping outing at an event of this standard - clipped the second fence to maintain Fox-Pitt's status as the nearly man at major championships. "He's a very good horse and he knows his job, and he certainly tried his best," said Fox-Pitt. "Yesterday was a long cross-country track on soft ground and definitely, today, you could feel he was looking forward to his holiday." Nicola Wilson and Annie Clover, the other remaining British combination (riding as individuals and not counted towards the team score) had four fences down, plus a stop at the last, to finish 25th. Philip Chism, 14, was charged on Wednesday as an adult over the death of Colleen Ritzer, 24, whose body was found in woods behind the school. The Boston Globe reports that school CCTV cameras showed the accused pushing a recycling bin through the building. It is not known if Ritzer's body was inside. She was found dead in woods behind the school, after being reported missing late on Tuesday. Danvers High School, in a suburb of Boston, reopened on Thursday for students to speak to counsellors. Classes will resume on Friday. Officials said Ritzer and the suspect knew each other from the school, but did not elaborate. Gardner Trask, chairman of the Danvers Board of Selectmen, told the Associated Press news agency the killing is a "devastating blow" to the close-knit town. On Wednesday evening the Boston Red Sox held a moment of silence for Ritzer before the first game of the World Series, America's professional baseball championship. And hundreds of people attended a candlelit vigil at the school's car park, wearing pink clothes or bows in tribute to Ritzer's favourite colour. Ritzer reportedly lived in her family home with her younger brother and sister. Her family said they were mourning the death of their "amazing, beautiful daughter and sister". "Everyone that knew and loved Colleen knew of her passion for teaching and how she mentored each and every one of her students," the family said in a statement. Ritzer was said to be friendly towards the school's students, many of whom were not much younger than her. Her Twitter biography describes the maths teacher as "often too excited about the topics I'm teaching". She used the account to set homework for students. The suspect's family and lawyer have not spoken to reporters. The accused had moved to Massachusetts from the state of Tennessee before the start of the school year. He was said to be a star player on the school soccer team. One student, Kyle Cahill, told the Associated Press the suspect's absence had been noted at a team dinner on Tuesday night. "We're all just a family. It just amazes me really," said Kyle. "He wasn't violent at all. He was really the opposite of aggressive." Ritzer's death is the latest incident this week to send police scrambling to a US school: A Gallup poll released on Wednesday suggested that 25% of US parents are concerned about their children being harmed while at school, making it one of their top crime concerns. The satellite broadcaster said total costs rose by 5%, with the £629m jump in football rights accounting for most of the increase in programming costs. That helped send pre-tax profit down £27m to £1.05bn, while operating profit slid £87m to £1.46bn. Revenues at Sky rose 10% to £12.9bn, while almost 700,000 new customers brought the total to 22.5 million. While the UK and Ireland remained its biggest market, the company now has five million customers in Germany and Austria, while a new loyalty programme in Italy had been an "outstanding success". A similar loyalty scheme will be launched in the UK and Ireland this autumn in a bid to cut the churn rate - the number of customers who leave - which rose from 11.2% to 11.5%. Chief executive Jeremy Darroch said the rate remained "at a level higher than we would like". "We will continue to identify opportunities to reach new customers through the recently launched new portfolio of channels and pricing to drive growth in Sky Sports UK," he said. George Salmon, a Hargreaves Lansdown analyst, said price increases that followed the higher Premier League football rights costs meant "more customers are choosing to leave Sky than have done for quite some time. Clearly, this presents a problem". Only half the rise in revenues was due to organic growth, with the remainder due to the positive impact of currency moves, he said. "21st Century Fox's takeover of Sky looms large over the group. Given the price is 40% above what the shares changed hands for just prior to the offer, this remains the dominant issue for shareholders," Mr Salmon added. Shares in Sky fell 2p to 964.5p in morning trading in London. New delay to decision over Fox's Sky bid Premier League wins anti-piracy ruling BT wins TV rights to European rugby union Liberum analysts still expect the Fox takeover to be approved, but warned: "If there is any concern the bid will not go through, the shares could come under pressure as investors focus more on the fundamentals." They said Sky won just 35,000 new customers in the UK and Ireland in the fourth quarter, a sharp drop from last year's 93,000, while average revenue per user was flat at £47 despite the price rises. Like-for-like revenues in the UK rose 4% to £8.6bn during what Sky called a "challenging environment" for consumer-focused businesses and "prevailing headwinds" in the advertising market. It has 11.4 million TV customers in the UK, while one in four broadband customers now take ultrafast fibre. Sky said it increased investment in original content by a quarter, with the glossy drama Riviera setting new records with two million viewers and almost 12 million downloads. All episodes of the drama, which stars Julia Stiles, Anthony LaPaglia and Adrian Lester, were made available to viewers in the same way as Netflix's successful "box set" approach. The firm also plans to introduce a service similar to its NOW TV offering in Spain, which requires only a broadband connection rather than a satellite dish. Why does a government which enjoys a comfortable majority in parliament behave like this? I asked Calin Tariceanu, president of the Senate and leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), a junior coalition partner in the government. A former prime minister, Mr Tariceanu admits that the government's actions and the way they have been communicated have been clumsy but he insists that they were well-intentioned. He rejects the perception, widely held in Romania and abroad, that the conflict is a battle between corrupt officials and a society fighting against corruption. "I regret having to say this, but the judiciary in Romania is not independent, and this is the clear issue which has to be addressed in the future." He paints a picture of prosecutors, especially those from the National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA), running amok and teaming up with the secret services. Prosecutors work hand in hand with judges, he alleges, and infringe on the civil liberties of Romanian citizens in a way not seen since communist times. "The DNA and the intelligence services are now perceived as institutions which are not respecting the legal framework, are corrupt themselves, and are used as important leverage in the political fight in Romania," he told the BBC. His argument is diametrically opposed to that of Laura Kovesi, head of the DNA, who insisted in a BBC interview on Saturday that the judiciary were independent and that her directorate prosecuted government and opposition figures alike. The DNA would have been crippled if the decree had come into force. One reason for the anger on the streets of Romania during the past days was the speed with which the government introduced the decree, with no chance for debate. The government will now rectify that, Mr Tariceanu said. The debate will be a wide one and civil society groups which have been active in the protests will also be invited to take part. Many of those taking part in the protests say the decree was tailor-made to get certain members of the present and past governments off the hook - most importantly the leader of the governing Social Democrats, Liviu Dragnea. He has already been convicted once for vote-rigging, and faces new corruption charges. "If no-one is protected by it [the decree], why shouldn't we withdraw it?" Calin Tariceanu told Mr Dragnea. "And show the people that we are open and sincere and very honest? We don't have any reason to protect anyone." The 54-year-old Social Democrat leader pondered his words, then agreed to scrap the decree. On Sunday night, large crowds gathered again in Bucharest, to celebrate their victory and warn the government not to try to push through similar amendments in future. The government wants to persuade its supporters that this is a strategic retreat, not a surrender. At the same time, it will try to persuade the public, and the European Commission, that there is a real problem with the balance of powers between state institutions in Romania. And that the prosecutors, the judges and the secret services should be reined in. Arizona and New York will fund the attractions from their own budgets, and are unlikely to be reimbursed. Other states are now weighing up whether they can justify the outlay of cash to keep their parks open. The tourist sites closed after Congress failed to agree a budget, forcing many government services to shut down. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo described the Statue of Liberty as an "international symbol of freedom" and promised he would not allow "dysfunction" in Washington to keep it closed. New York will have to pay out about $60,000 (£37,000) a day to keep the Statue of Liberty open. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said: "I'm gratified the Obama administration agreed to reverse its policy and allow Arizona to reopen Grand Canyon, Arizona's most treasured landmark and a crucial driver of revenue to the state." Arizona will pay almost $100,000 a day to keep the Grand Canyon open, initially for the next seven days. Analysts estimate that the Canyon brings in roughly 18,000 visitors each day during the current peak season, and revenue of roughly $1m. Elsewhere, South Dakota worked out a deal with corporate donors and the National Park Service to reopen Mount Rushmore on Monday. And Utah and Colorado have also reached deals to keep their parks open. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement the states had found a "practical and temporary solution" that would "lessen the pain for some businesses and communities". The partial government shutdown, which has sent home hundreds of thousands of government workers on unpaid leave, began on 1 October. Republicans have refused to pass a new budget unless President Barack Obama agrees to delay or eliminate the funding of the healthcare reform law of 2010. The White House has repeatedly said it would not undermine the law, known as Obamacare, nor negotiate over larger budget matters, until Republicans vote to end the threat of default. Officials say about 15,000 workers in the private sector have already been laid off as a result of the shutdown. As the well as the shutdown, the US is heading towards default if it does not raise its debt limit by 17 October. After the latest talks on the crisis in Washington, President Obama's spokesman said he was willing to sign a "clean" short-term increase to the US borrowing limit that is free from Republican budget and policy demands. "If the Congress were to pass a clean debt ceiling of short duration to avoid default, the president would sign that," Mr Carney said, following rounds of talks among Mr Obama and Senate and House Republicans. But Mr Carney reiterated the White House would not accept a debt ceiling rise with conditions attached, saying the right thing to do was to "remove that gun from the table". Noah Baumbach said he made The Meyerowitz Stories "as I make all my movies, with the expectation it will be shown on the big screen". There has been controversy over Netflix's features being included in the competition for the Palme d'Or. Netflix has not screened its productions in French cinemas. But Baumbach said he made The Meyerowitz Stories, starring Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman, "independently, with independent money" and it was acquired by Netflix in post-production. The family comedy drama, which features Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler as half-brothers reunited as they plan an exhibition for their sculptor father Harold (played by Hoffman), is his first to be shown at the French film festival. There were a few boos as the Netflix logo was shown at the film's first showing, on Sunday morning - but the cheers were louder. That was a marked difference from the reception given to Okja, the other film from the Netflix stable, which received loud boos during the opening credits - and both times round, as it had to be restarted due to technical issues. Baumbach said of the importance of the cinema screen: "I believe in that and I think it's unique and singular - an experience that's not going to go away, in my opinion. "Netflix acquired [the film] in post-production and they've been hugely supportive." Cannes jury president Pedro Almodovar said last week that he could not imagine the Palme d'Or going to a film that had not received a cinema release, stressing the importance of the big screen. Baumbach said he hadn't heard those quotes, while Hoffman traced the shape of a TV with his hands as he added: "I have a very big screen". From next year, films will have to be released in French cinemas if they want to be considered. It was a high-spirited news conference, with Rain Man star Hoffman asking a journalist for his side profile at one point, so he could see the shape of his nose - after the reporter said people had asked if he was related to the star. And when another said the film was "interesting", he replied: "That's not a good word. You didn't like it, did you?" Stiller, who also played Hoffman's son in comedy Meet the Fockers, said how much he had enjoyed seeing his co-star's films when growing up. But a mock grumpy Hoffman retorted: "I resent people saying they grew up with my work. Everyone who's older than me - please stand up." Even if anyone did fit that bill, no-one got to their feet. Emma Thompson plays Harold's third wife Maureen, an alcoholic who wears beads and tie-dye tunics. She said of her role in the dysfunctional family drama: "Because I'm not from America, or that kind of family, it was a foreign country to me. "I read it, and thought: 'I have no idea what's going to happen, but it's going to be fascinating'." Thompson said she considered almost all of the characters to be suffering from shame, for a variety of reasons - Harold as he has not been as successful as some of his peers, his son Danny (Sandler) as he has no money and Matthew (Stiller) because he does have money. "Everyone's ashamed," she mused. "So many people feel that way all of the time. "Our culture is built around this shaming thing. That's why I think it's so powerful." She praised the film for being both "very funny, and then suddenly terribly moving" and said she found the process of making it "extremely rewarding." And it seemed the work paid off, with applause from critics at the end, and generally positive reviews - many praising Sandler in particular. Stiller, appearing at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association gala for the International Rescue Committee, said the premiere on Sunday night received a standing ovation for Hoffman. Describing it as his favourite Cannes moment, he said: "It was an amazing acknowledgement - he's had a wonderful career. "To present a movie with him - and to watch the joy that was on Dustin Hoffman's face as he received this wonderful ovation… for me to be in close proximity to that was wonderful." Mistress America and Maggie's Plan actress Greta Gerwig, the partner of Baumbach, said: "I had never seen it on a big screen before. And I looked around at the end, and saw all of these people weeping. Noah was crying, Dustin was crying. It's one of those things you just hear about happening." Hoffman himself described it as a "special film". Thompson - who'd taken off her heels to be more comfortable - was also at the beachfront party, alongside co-star Sandler, as well as Tilda Swinton and Jake Gylenhaal, who star in Okja.

All-rounder O'Brien took four wickets and then hit an unbeaten 72 despite having to go off with a hamstring injury early in his innings. Afghanistan were dismissed for 220 and the Irish reached their target with three wickets and three overs to spare. The deciding match is at Greater Noida in India on Friday. O'Brien, who had missed two matches with the injury, returned to resume his innings having retired hurt when on nine. Ireland's reply had looked in some trouble at 130-6, but O'Brien hit two sixes and eight fours and shared an important seventh-wicket partnership of 66 with Gary Wilson. O'Brien had claimed three early wickets as Afghanistan stumbled to 11 for three after choosing to bat first. After the match, O'Brien said he was not sure if he would be fit to play in the decider. "It is the same hamstring injury unfortunately, which doesn't look too good," said O'Brien at the post-match presentation. "We will assess it in the next 12-24 hours to see where we go."

In a statement from their solicitors, the family called for the "culprit(s) to be dealt with appropriately". South Central Ambulance Service said an investigation had been launched. The former Wham! frontman was found dead on Christmas Day at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. A statement from the family's lawyers said: "George's family and friends are extremely upset and truly appalled that such a personal, painful and clearly confidential recording has been leaked. "We firmly believe that anyone contacting the emergency authorities in situations such as this should be entitled to expect that recordings will not be released to the media and it is deeply distressing to the family that this transcript, and audio recording, has been made public." Obituary: George Michael George Michael: A life in pictures A spokeswoman for South Central Ambulance Service said: "We take matters of confidentiality very seriously and have launched an immediate investigation." A post-mortem examination was inconclusive and more tests are being carried out. Young, James Wait and Cameron Coxe are second year apprentices who have been offered first year professional contracts. They will follow Mark Harris in signing professional deals. Scott Young played 275 games for Cardiff and scored the winner in the 2-1 FA Cup win over Leeds United in 2002. He had a brief spell as caretaker manager of the club in 2014 and now works in the club's Academy. The programme involves competitors learning to ski jump, and the last series saw several serious injuries. Gymnast Louis Smith and Paralympic cyclist and athlete Kadeena Cox will also take part in the new series. GB Taekwondo says it has has held "extensive" talks with Jones about the risks involved. The 23-year-old from north Wales is set to compete in taekwondo's World Championships later this year. She, Rio silver medallist Smith, and Cox, who won gold in both her disciplines at the Rio Paralympics, all receive funding from UK Sport to help them train for their respective events. Jones will still receive her full UK Sport funding during her time on the programme, while Cox will not. British Gymnastics has not yet responded to BBC Sport's request for a comment. A GB Taekwondo spokesperson said: "While we had our reservations, we understand Jade's desire to try new challenges and to take part in this show. We have held extensive discussions with Jade and her management and she is aware of the risks involved. "She has made an informed decision to take part in the show and has ensured that The Jump and its production company has all the requisite cover and medical provision is in place." Former Olympic heptathlete Louise Hazel, who finished second in the 2015 series after retiring from athletics, told BBC Radio 5 live that she was surprised current athletes were considering taking part in the show. "As an athlete you are always looking for the next thrill but I would advise them to withdraw," she said. "For those athletes who have retired it is OK to take a risk, but for those still in sport this could easily turn into a career-ending injury. "As a participant you know there is an element of risk, but there was a part of me seeking that out and it is a calculated risk. The question is whether people know the full extent of the risk before signing up." In the show's previous editions, Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle needed surgery to have fractured vertebrae fused together after she was injured in training, while double gold medal winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington suffered a shoulder injury. Former Holby City actress Tina Hobley sustained knee, shoulder and arm injuries and has only recently stopped using crutches and Made In Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli broke his ankle. In addition, athlete Linford Christie pulled a hamstring, ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash chipped a bone in his shoulder, Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding injured a ligament and model Heather Mills hurt her knee and thumb. Channel 4 says there has been a "thorough review of safety procedures" before this year's series. Jones, who was named BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality 2016 after going through the year unbeaten, is scheduled to take part in the World Championships in South Korea in June, aiming to claim the only major international title that has eluded her so far. Cox, 25, does not have a major cycling event this year, with no Para-cycling Track World Championships officially confirmed, but she would be expected to take part in the Para-Athletics World Championships in London in July. Also among the competitors are retired Olympic cycling champion and Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins, former rugby players Jason Robinson and Gareth Thomas, and ex-Liverpool and England striker Robbie Fowler. Colman was recognised for her role in hit ITV series Broadchurch - which won best drama serial - and her portrayal of single mum Carol in Channel 4's Run. Idris Elba was named best actor for BBC One's Luther. Channel 4's Educating Yorkshire won best documentary series at the London ceremony. The hit programme was described by judges as "enormously watchable". Colman also picked up the RTS best actress award in 2013 for her portrayal of a mum whose son is shot by a gangster in Jimmy McGovern's The Accused. This year, the judges described her as being at "the very top of her game". The actress collected her award on stage without her shoes, saying: "I kicked them off under the table and forgot to put them back on." Run also won the drama writing award for Marlon Smith and Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan. James Corden and Mathew Baynton, with Tom Basden, won best comedy writing for BBC Two's The Wrong Mans. Other winners at this year's event included Brendan O'Carroll, who picked up best comedy performance for Mrs Brown's Boys. Coronation Street won best soap/continuing drama. Stephen Fry was named best presenter for his series Stephen Fry: Out There, broadcast on BBC Two, in which he travelled to a number of countries to examine how they treat their gay communities. In his acceptance speech, he paraphrased Winston Churchill, saying: "I think you can judge a civilisation by the way it treats its minorities." BBC Two's Peaky Blinders, about a criminal gang set in 1919 Birmingham, won best drama series. Best entertainment show went to Channel 4's The Last Leg, which first aired as a nightly alternative review of each day of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Alan Carr was recognised in the best entertainment performance category for his chat show on Channel 4, Alan Carr: Chatty Man. He beat big Ant and Dec - nominated for both Britain's Got Talent and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV - and Leigh Francis for Celebrity Juice and Through the Keyhole. The Challenger - the story of how Richard Feynman helped to discover the cause of the Challenger disaster - was named best single drama, while Game of Thrones was honoured with the best international programme award. David Suchet, star of the long-running TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot, was honoured with a lifetime achievement award but was unable to attend the event at the Grosvenor House hotel after feeling unwell before the ceremony. Outgoing BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow was given the judges' award for her achievements with the channel. She commissioned shows like Miranda and The Great British Bake-Off during her six years in the role. Thai police dropped the investigation into Patnaree Chankij after an international outcry earlier this year. But the country's attorney general decided to press charges against her under Thailand's lese majeste laws. The 40-year-old had responded to a message critical of the monarchy with "ja" ("yeah" or "I see" in Thai). Read more on Patnaree Chankij's case Thailand's lese majeste laws explained The ways to get arrested for lese-majeste in Thailand Patnaree Chankij is the mother of a prominent student activist in Thailand, Sirawith Seritwat.

The warning is contained in Met Office a yellow be aware warning for the UK for Wednesday and Thursday. Strong winds and frequent wintry showers have also been forecast. The Western Isles Emergency Planning Coordinating Group has been flagging up the Met Office warning. Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne has warned of disruption to its services. A spokesman said: "Severe weather warnings have been issued across Scotland, with strong gales and gusts of up to 80mph likely to bring disruption to services across the Calmac ferry network from Monday night through until Thursday. "Forecast high winds and storm conditions will impact on the normal scheduled sailings." The RNLI said some of those involved in maritime activities have dubbed Wednesday "Black Wednesday" because of the severity of the conditions forecast. South Devon-based website Magicseaweed.com produces charts and swell models designed to help surfers pinpoint the best sites to enjoy their pursuit. Its swell chart for Wednesday shows a large black area indicating swells of up to 40ft (12m). The Atlantic storm has been moving towards the UK from the direction of Greenland and Iceland. The RNLI was involved in the rescue of a cargo boat that lost power off Cape Wrath overnight. A spokesman said: "Conditions were challenging and getting worse, around force 7 - near gale. "With an Atlantic storm tracking towards the north west coast of the UK, Wednesday is already being referred to as 'Black Wednesday'. "The storm and resulting swell are due to peak sometime on Wednesday or Thursday." He had been accused by the US Treasury of assisting Colombian Farc rebels in their drug trafficking activities. The Venezuelan government said Gen Carvajal had a diplomatic passport and that his arrest was illegal. He had been appointed by Venezuela as its consul in Aruba. But the Dutch government had rejected the appointment for over a year. Aruba, which is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is located 27km (17 miles) north of Venezuela. Mr Carvajal is expected to appear in court on Friday, the authorities in Aruba said. The United States has 60 days to formally request his extradition. In a statement, the Venezuelan foreign ministry called for the immediate release of Gen Carvajal. "The Venezuelan government strenuously rejects the illegal detention of its diplomatic official, carried out by Dutch officials in Aruba in violation of international laws," the ministry said. Gen Carvajal was head of Venezuela's military intelligence between 2004 and 2009. He was a close ally of the late president, Hugo Chavez, who died of cancer last year. In 2008, the US Treasury accused him and another senior Venezuelan official of "materially assisting the narcotics trafficking activities of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc)". Mr Chavez rejected the allegations at the time. The US Treasury announcement came a day after Venezuela expelled the American ambassador to Caracas for allegedly backing an aborted right-wing plot against Mr Chavez. The farmers say the land is being taken away before compensation is agreed. Traffic in central Delhi was gridlocked for hours as they were addressed by opposition politicians. The use of land for industrial purposes is hugely controversial in India - protests have stalled similar projects elsewhere in the country. The government in Uttar Pradesh state has bought the farmers' land to build an eight-lane highway and business zone between Delhi and Agra, an important industrial centre that is also home to the Taj Mahal and other popular tourist sites. Earlier this month, three farmers in the state were killed when police fired at protesters demanding more compensation. The BBC's Mark Dummett, who was at the protest in Delhi, says the project is exactly the kind of large-scale development that India needs to create more jobs, but the farmers say they stand to lose out. Hundreds of millions of other Indians feel the same way, our correspondent says, and will not let land their families have farmed for hundreds of centuries be handed over easily or cheaply as the country rushes to industrialise. "When our land is taken away, where will we live, where will our children live? They're trying to grab our land!" said one farmer at the protest. "We haven't agreed on the compensation amount, and our lands have already been transferred to private companies!" Another protester accused the government of trying to acquire the land cheaply. "It's our heritage, our livelihood. When we don't have our land, what will we do - become a Maoist or a terrorist?" India's governing Congress party says it hopes to push through a new law soon guaranteeing higher levels of compensation for farmers who lose their land. Donaldson played her last game for Stirling after 14 years before taking up a scholarship in the USA. It was her cross that picked out Ashley McDonald to equalise after Lori Gardner had given Accies an early lead. Jade Gallon's penalty made it 2-1, but Gardner equalised with three minutes left only for Beth McKay to find a winner within 60 seconds. That result moves Stirling to within a point of third-placed Celtic on the day when the other six sides in the Scottish Women's Premier League were all inactive. Hamilton though have now lost six on the bounce and sit just one point above bottom side Aberdeen. In SWPL 2, Motherwell fought back from behind to beat Edinburgh University Hutchison Vale at Ravenscraig. However, they still remain nine points behind pace-setters Forfar Farmington who beat Buchan 4-0. Glasgow Girls are also level on points with Motherwell following a 2-0 win away to Jeanfield Swifts. And Hearts remain in the promotion chase, albeit 11 points off top spot, following a 6-0 thumping of East Fife. 24 September 2016 Last updated at 16:56 BST She told the BBC's Nick Eardley that Mr Corbyn "can unite the party" and has to "want to unite the party". Speaking after a special conference in Liverpool, Ms Dugdale said the Labour party at Westminster couldn't fight the Tories if they are fighting themselves. Patrick Freeman, 62, fractured his right shoulder when the tram crashed moments before it reached Sandilands Junction on 9 November 2016. Mr Freeman has to date received £2,000 from Transport for London (TfL). He said he has been advised by a surgeon that he will only recover 50% of the use of his arm. Earlier on Monday, the Rail Accident Investigation Bureau (RAIB) said the seven people who died in the tram crash fell out of windows as they shattered. Mr Freeman was among 16 others seriously hurt in the crash. Mr Freeman, not a regular tram user, was staying in the New Addington area for a few days while refurbishing a house nearby. He told BBC London he received the payment of £2,000 from TfL on 12 December, but is now seeking full compensation for loss of wages. He said: "The loss at the minute is about £6,000-£7,000 in wages. I have a little bit of savings... I've had to use that to pay my rent to live on." He added: "Its not our fault it happened. Whoever caused it, whatever happened there, it is definitely not the fault of the people on the tram." A spokesman for TfL said it had paid more than £500,000 in financial support following the crash. In a statement, TfL said: "We believe all requests for payments made to date from those injured in the incident have been paid and none are outstanding. "We urge anyone needing further support to contact us straight away for help." Investigators said initial indications showed passengers were "ejected or partially ejected" from the tram. They added the brake was applied two and a half seconds before the crash, suggesting the driver "lost awareness". A total of 70 passengers were on board in November, rather than 60 as originally believed, it added. The man, thought to be in his 20s, was taken by air ambulance from the Somerset site to Southmead Hospital in Bristol shortly after 17.20 BST. He was later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham where he died, Avon and Somerset Police said. A police spokesman said they are treating the death as unexplained, but do not believe it to be suspicious. The man's family has been informed. Final preparations are taking place at Worthy Farm before gates are opened to the public on Wednesday. "Bydd y mesurau yn cynnwys mwy o staff diogelwch a phresenoldeb yr heddlu ar y maes, ynghyd ag archwiliadau bagiau yn y ganolfan groeso.

"Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i bawb am eu dealltwriaeth o'r sefyllfa ac yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at groesawu pawb i Bencoed. Ychwanegodd Aled Siôn bod yr Urdd wedi cael mwy o gyfarfodydd nag arfer gyda'r heddlu yn ystod y flwyddyn oherwydd rownd derfynol pencampwriaeth cynghrair y pencampwyr. Ond dywedodd nad yw yn pryderu y bydd llai o bobl yn dod i'r wŷl eleni oherwydd rownd y bencampwriaeth. Dyma'r tro cyntaf i'r bencampwriaeth ddod i Gymru gyda'r gêm rhwng Juventus a Real Madrid yn digwydd yn Stadiwm Principality Caerdydd nos Sadwrn a ffeinal y merched nos Iau. Yn ôl Aled Siôn mae'r un niferoedd wedi cofrestru i gystadlu ar ddydd Sadwrn olaf yr eisteddfod, sydd yn dechrau Mai 27 ar dir Campws Pencoed, Coleg Pen-y-bont ag arfer. "Mae rhan fwyaf o bobl sydd yn dod i 'Steddfod yr Urdd yn dod ar gyfer y cystadlu. Yn amlwg mae'n ddigwyddiad mawr, mae ymarferoldeb y peth yn taro ni fwy. "Ond yn sicr mae'r dydd Sadwrn olaf, mae'r (tocynnau) yn hanner pris gyda ni ers sawl blwyddyn nawr. Da ni yn cael cynulleidfa dda i ddod ar y dydd Sadwrn. "Yn amlwg gewn ni weld shwt eith hi ond dydyn ni ddim yn pryderu yn ormodol. Fe fydd y cystadlu cyn gryfed ar y dydd Sadwrn ag arfer. "Mae hwnna yn golygu fe fydd y dorf a'r gynulleidfa 'da ni yn disgwyl i ddod yn dod yma." Dyw'r eisteddfod chwaith ddim wedi clywed bod pobl wedi cael trafferthion dod o hyd i lety am fod miloedd o gefnogwyr yn mynd i fod yn tyrru i dde Cymru ar gyfer y gemau ac yn ôl Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Gwaith mae gwestai lleol wedi elwa o'r digwyddiad. "O'n safbwynt ni, da ni ddim wedi cael sylwadau gan neb sydd yn pryderu neu sydd ddim wedi llwyddo i gael llety...Felly da ni yn cymryd bod y sefyllfa yn iach, " meddai Aled Siôn. Eleni fe fydd mwy o liw a mwy o frandio ar yr adeiladu er mwyn gwneud i'r maes edrych yn fwy atyniadol a bod hi'n haws i bobl allu gweld y pebyll gwahanol. Bydd gig yn cael ei gynnal ar y nos Sadwrn hefyd am yr ail flwyddyn yn olynol gyda Swnami yn perfformio. Y syniad ydy rhoi mwy o "ysbryd o ŵyl" ar y maes erbyn diwedd yr wythnos a hynny am fod aelwydydd a phobl ifanc dros 18 yn cystadlu. Mae lle iddyn nhw wersylla hefyd. Roedd rhai aelwydydd yn y gorffennol yn mynd adref wedi'r cystadlu meddai. "Nath hwn yn sicr llynedd gadw aelwydydd a chadw pobl ar y maes yn hwyrach. "Gobeithio bod hwn yn mynd i ddechre traddodiad, lle mae pawb ar ôl i'r cystadlu dod i ben am ryw hanner awr wedi saith, wyth o'r gloch, fydd pawb wedyn yn automatic yn mynd i bentref Mistar Urdd, i'r llwyfan perfformio ac yn mynd fanna am ychydig o oriau." Mae'n dweud bod yr eisteddfod yn gyson yn moderneiddio ac yn trafod syniadau. Yn ogystal â cheisio diddanu plant a phobl ifanc pan maen nhw ar y maes, mae'r elfen gystadlu hefyd yn bwysig. Y cystadlu sydd yn denu'r mwyafrif i'r maes gyda rhwng 70-75% o bobl yn dod am y rheswm hynny, meddai'r cyfarwyddwr. "'Da ni yn datblygu ac yn edrych ar wahanol gystadleuaeth, fel bod ni yn gallu ehangu mewn ambell i faes. "'Da ni yn sôn am falle ddileu ambell i gystadleuaeth oherwydd os nad yw hi yn boblogaidd, man a man i ni newid ac addasu. "Gan mai gŵyl gystadlu ydyn ni dyna yw'r peth pwysicaf i ni. Sut ydyn ni yn mynd i ddenu pobl i gystadlu? Nid cael mwy o gystadlaethau yw'r ateb ond gwneud yn siŵr bod y cystadlaethau sydd gyda ni yn boblogaidd." Despite - or perhaps because of - a third straight debate performance in which the retired neurosurgeon practically disappeared into the scenery thanks to his low-key public persona, he has continued to climb in the polls. The latest survey, by NBC News, puts him at 29% support, six points up on the former consensus leader, Donald Trump. Mr Carson also has the highest favourability ratings of any candidate, and he's the first or second pick of half the poll respondents - well ahead of all his competitors. By all accounts, then, Mr Carson is on the verge of assuming the mantle of Republican front-runner. While Florida Senator Marco Rubio was the talk of the Washington establishment after his most recent debate performance, the soft-spoken doctor continues to be a campaign juggernaut. But is Mr Carson's lead a mirage? Here are a few possible dark linings that could appear on Mr Carson's silver clouds. Mr Carson has compared gun control, political correctness, the US under Barack Obama and the progressive movement in general to Nazi rule. He's also drawn slavery analogies on the issues of healthcare reform and abortion and said prison sex is evidence that homosexuality is a choice and Muslims should be disqualified from the presidency It's Mr Carson's particular gift that he can deliver lines like these in the calm voice of physician informing his patient that the situation is dire but that a cure is possible, and then allow any resulting wave of controversy to wash over him harmlessly. Although Mr Carson is currently riding high, at some point the cumulative effect of line after inflammatory line could be too much for Republican voter concerned about his prospects in a general election. Or, perhaps, it could put a hard cap on the level of support Mr Carson is able to accrue, creating difficulties for him as the field eventually narrows. Mr Carson's differences with fellow front-runner Donald Trump are more than just ones of style. After earlier criticisms that he was running a campaign without substance, the New York billionaire has released a series of plans - on immigration, tax reform, gun control and veteran's affairs. Other candidates have likewise released their plans, in greater and lesser detail. As for Mr Carson? Not so much. His website features a grab-bag of proposals, lightly sketched, including a call for a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced budget, the "defeat" of federal education bureaucracy, the continued operation of the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and healthcare reform based on tax-free personal health savings accounts. He's also called for a flat tax on income that would replace the current progressive tax rate structure and has suggested that the rate be set at 10%, although it could range up to 15% depending on revenue necessities. As a front-runner will Mr Carson be pressed to flush out more policy details? Mr Trump was. So far, however, the retired neurosurgeon has gotten a pass. That, however, might be changing. "I want more details and answers," Doug Holtz-Eakin, president of the conservative American Action Forum, told the Street's Valerie Young. "We've seen what uncertainly does to the economy. So if he wants to genuinely have a good performance, he needs to lay it out so people know what to expect." When third quarter fundraising totals were announced last month, Mr Carson made headlines with a $20m - which put him ahead of all Republicans and just behind Democrats Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. As the Atlantic's David Graham points out, however, those numbers conceal a less rosy reality. Although Mr Carson is posting big numbers, he's spending a lot to do so. Fifty-four cents of every dollar the neurosurgeon brings in is spent on fundraising - such as developing donor files, printing direct mail literature and paying postage. By contrast, Mr Sanders - who relies heavily on online donations - spends just 4 cents of every dollar on fundraising. Conservative columnist Erick Erickson, notes that Mr Carson spent 69% of the money he took in - his "burn rate", as it's called - and offers a grim prognosis. "Carson's actual expenditure list reads like a wealthy Republican getting played by consultants," he writes. "I suspect there are some who see Carson as a cash cow." While that could be great news for political operatives involved, it's not good for a candidate who wants to win elections. Although Mr Carson has shot to the top of several national polls, the Republican race for the presidential nomination is going to be decided on state-by-state battlegrounds, and his polls here so far have been less impressive. Mr Carson has led in several Iowa polls, but the latest puts him in effectively in a tie with Mr Trump. In New Hampshire - less fertile ground for an evangelical-backed conservative like Mr Carson - Mr Trump has posted numerous double-digit leads. The New Yorker has also dominated South Carolina and Florida surveys. None of this is to say that Mr Carson can't turn his national support into a lead in key early-voting states. The reality, however, is that Mr Trump still poses a formidable opponent with loyal supporters who have stuck with him for months now. Will Mr Carson consolidate his gains the same way? Time will tell. During the third Republican debate in Colorado last week, moderator Carlos Quintanilla questioned Mr Carson about his ties to the nutritional supplement company Mannatech, which has paid millions of dollars in fines for deceptive marketing practices. Mr Carson denied having "an involvement" with the company, saying only that he happily takes the product and was paid to give speeches for them. Quintanilla tried to press the issue but was booed by the debate audience, prompting Mr Carson to smile and conclude, "See, they know". The questions about Mannatech can't easily be written off as a liberal-media obsession, however. The Jim Geraghty of the conservative National Review has been one of the most dogged investigators into the ties between Mr Carson and the supplement company, and after the debate he said Mr Carson's answers were "bald-faced lies". "Mannatech wanted to improve its image and happily paid Carson, one of the country's greatest neurosurgeons, the man Cuba Gooding Jr played in the [TNT] movie - to appear at their events and to appear in the company videos," he writes. "Carson's lack of due diligence before working with the company is forgivable. His blatant lying about it now is much harder to forgive." Mr Carson has pushed back, telling SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily radio show that the National Review has become a "political tool" of his one of his Republican opponents and that the story was a "submarine that's sent by them". Whether he's wrong or right about his allegations, chances are the Mannatech story isn't going away anytime soon. Some writers, on the left and on the right, have attempted to draw lines between the aforementioned concerns - the litany of publicity-generating controversial statements, the lack of policy details, the questionable fundraising practices, the ethical questions surrounding ties to Mannatech - to draw larger conclusions about the nature of Mr Carson's presidential quest. Leon Wolf, a diarist for the conservative RedState blog, wonders whether Mr Carson's apparent lack of command of the issues reflects poorly on his commitment to the campaign "I am distressed that he has spent apparently no time in study educating himself on the basic issues he would face during the course of the run for his presidency," he writes. "I am 100% confident Carson could understand them very easily, which is precisely the reason I'm so bothered that he doesn't. It goes to the seriousness with which he takes the job of running for president, and his personal work ethic at that job." He contrasts Mr Carson with former technology company executive Carly Fiorina, who has spent considerable time honing her command of the issues. "I'm at a loss as to what Ben Carson has been doing at all, and I'm disappointed that he apparently doesn't take running for president seriously," he concludes. New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait concludes that Mr Carson says the obvious explanation for Mr Carson's actions is his goal isn't the presidency, it's the accumulation of wealth. "Carson is doing a lot of things that seem puzzling for a presidential campaign, but quite logical for a brand-building exercise," he writes. "Perhaps it is a giveaway that the official title for Armstrong Williams, the figure running the Carson 'campaign', is 'business manager', as opposed to 'campaign manager'. It does suggest that Carson is engaged in a for-profit venture." The nebulousness of Mr Carson's campaign so far leaves him open to these sorts of attacks. How Mr Carson responds - with substance or bluster - will go a long way in revealing whether his candidacy can make it to the finish line. The European Commission says it will give €1.8bn (£1.3bn) and it expects EU countries to pledge more. The aim is to tackle the economic and security problems that cause people to flee, and persuade African countries to take back more failed asylum seekers. The meeting was planned after a sinking off Libya in April. About 800 died. Some 150,000 people have made the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean from Africa so far this year, arriving mainly in Italy and Malta. However, the EU's focus has moved east since April, with large numbers of refugees - mostly Syrians - arriving via Turkey and Greece and then travelling north through the Balkans. In other developments on Wednesday: More than 60 leaders from Africa and Europe, including UK Prime Minister David Cameron, are meeting in Valletta in Malta for the two-day summit starting to discuss the mass movement of people. The European Commission is setting up a €1.8bn "trust fund" for Africa and has urged member states to match that sum. However, there are doubts about whether they will do so. Speaking in the Maltese parliament on the eve of the summit, the President of the European Council Donald Tusk said the plan was to make "much more progress on poverty reduction and conflict prevention". "It also includes the issue of taking back in an efficient manner those who do not yet qualify for a visa, or those who do not require international protection," he said in a statement. He added that Africa's population was expected to double by 2050 and that action was essential, particularly due to the strain placed on EU solidarity by refugees arriving from conflicts in the Middle East. The BBC's Chris Morris in Malta says African leaders are likely insist on a much clearer path for smaller numbers of their citizens to migrate officially to Europe, in exchange for help on the crisis. The UN says nearly 800,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea so far in 2015, while some 3,440 have died or gone missing making the journey. The latest deaths came when 14 people drowned after another boat sank between Turkey and the Greek island of Lesbos, early on Wednesday. Seven children were among the dead. The coast guard was able to rescue 27 people. Tensions in the EU have been rising because of the disproportionate burden faced by some countries, particularly Greece, Italy and Hungary. Most migrants then head to Germany or Sweden to claim asylum. EU leaders have agreed a controversial programme to relocate thousands of migrants - but so far only around 130 have been successfully moved from Greece and Italy. Another source of embarrassment for the EU is a failure of member states to follow through on pledges made on their behalf by the bloc's executive Commission. In October, the EU announced a provisional co-operation deal with Turkey, including a possible $3bn in aid. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. Lois Slocombe was out running with friends on Wednesday when they spotted the dentures sealed in a plastic bag on a tree in Skegness. Posted alongside them was a note saying: "Have you lost your teeth?" Ms Slocombe said the teeth had since been removed and she hoped they had been reunited with their owner. The unusual find on Hoylake Drive prompted dozens of comments from people after Ms Slocombe posted a picture of the teeth on the Skegness Skegness Skegness Facebook page. Luton Borough Council and Central Bedfordshire Council's shared contribution has risen from a 4.7% share of £51m, to a 4.7% share of £62m. Luton Conservative councillor Mike Garrett said he was "shocked" that the council had got into this situation. Labour-controlled Luton Borough Council said that the project can still be completed for its target cost of £89m. The £89.2m project, funded by a £80.2m government grant, consists of a mainly guided busway along the disused Luton to Dunstable railway line. It will serve residential areas in Dunstable, Houghton Regis and the west of Luton, providing connections to the three town centres, Luton Airport Parkway station and the airport. Both councils need to pay towards the remaining £8.92m initial cost and meet the ongoing revenue costs, capped at 4.7%. Luton council said the £11m increase in costs, from £51m to £62m, has been incurred by capital overspend and delays to the work caused by heavy rain, plus unforeseen events. These have included the discovery of additional Japanese knotweed, which is difficult to remove, unknown utility services and contaminated ground. The council said that the busway team is "continually monitoring project costs to ensure best value for money" and still believes that the busway will be delivered within the budget. Mr Garrett, the leader of the council's Conservative group disagreed, and said: "We all know that there isn't the finance available now that there used to be years ago. "To embark on a project which could now lead us into financial ruin, to me it is unthinkable." Dunstable Conservative councillor Nigel Young, from Central Bedfordshire Council, which is Conservative-run, said the overall scheme costs are "generally as expected". "We are firmly focused on value for money and are working closely with Luton Borough Council to deliver the scheme within budget," he said. The White House said that in the phone call Mr Obama warned of further sanctions if Moscow failed to act. The Kremlin says Mr Putin urged direct talks between Kiev and the rebels in the east. Russia denies arming them. The separatists have said they will observe a truce initiated by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The week-long ceasefire - part of a 15-point peace plan announced by Mr Poroshenko last week - is due to expire on Friday. Late on Monday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters: "The president spoke to President Putin and once again urged him to support peace instead of allowing the provision of arms and materiel across the border and continuing support for militants and separatists who are further destabilising the situation in Ukraine." "Russia will face additional costs if we do not see concrete actions to de-escalate the situation," he said. The US and EU have already imposed a number of sanctions, including visa bans and asset freezes on Russian officials, after Moscow annexed the Ukrainian region of Crimea in March. Washington said last week that a number of Russian tanks and armoured personnel carriers had crossed the border into the east of Ukraine. The Russian government has strenuously denied that any of its tanks crossed the border into Ukraine. On Monday, the US State Department said Washington also had new information that tanks were being readied at a site in south-western Russia to be sent into Ukraine. As diplomatic efforts to ease the crisis continued, US Vice President Joe Biden spoke to President Poroshenko in a phone call on Monday, telling him that the US would continue to strongly support his peace plan, the White House said. Monday's rebel announcement was made in Donetsk by Alexander Borodai, a leader of the self-styled "Donetsk People's Republic" which is defying Kiev. Mr Borodai had earlier attended preliminary peace talks in Donetsk. The high-level talks involved representatives of the other breakaway region - Luhansk - and Viktor Medvedchuk, an opponent of the Kiev authorities who is close to President Putin. Russia's Ambassador Mikhail Zurabov was also there, along with former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, who is seen as a mediator for President Poroshenko. European mediators from the OSCE security organisation also participated. Last week President Putin cautiously welcomed the Kiev ceasefire. The plan involves decentralising power, holding early elections, and creating a 10km (six-mile) buffer zone on the Ukrainian-Russian border. Rebels say they will not disarm until Ukrainian government troops have left the east. Militants still control key government buildings across Donetsk and Luhansk regions. "The ceasefire will take effect as announced earlier - until 10:00 (07:00 GMT) on 27 June," Mr Borodai said, referring to President Poroshenko's declaration on Friday. "During that time there will be ceasefire monitoring by Russia and the OSCE. "We hope that during the ceasefire both sides will manage to reach agreement and start consultations on how to proceed with talks and a peace settlement." The crisis is expected to be high on the agenda of an EU summit in Brussels on Friday, where European leaders could announce further sanctions against Russia if they deem Moscow's response to the peace plan to be inadequate. Friday will also see the signing of a key EU-Ukraine association agreement - a far-reaching partnership deal which lies at the origin of the Ukraine crisis. The refusal of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to sign the agreement last November, under heavy Russian pressure, triggered massive pro-EU street protests which forced him out of office. There are 157 council wards with over 50% of residents who are Welsh speakers in 2011, compared to 192 in 2001. The Welsh Language Society accused the Welsh government of failing to halt the decline of Welsh speaking communities. A Welsh government spokesperson admitted it needed to do more to "promote and facilitate" the language. Census figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in December showed an overall drop of 2% in the number of people who speak Welsh to 19% of the population in Wales. It also suggested Welsh was now a minority language in two heartlands, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. The latest figures released on Wednesday - which give ward-by-ward breakdowns of Wales' 881 electoral divisions - back this up. They show that that there were no council wards in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion in 2011 where more than 70% of the population could speak Welsh - a key target for the Welsh government. Overall there were fewer places where at least 70% of people speak Welsh, down from 59 in 2001 - or 7% - to 49 in 2011, which is 6%. Apart from one ward in Conwy, all the places where 70% of people speak Welsh were in Gwynedd or on Anglesey. Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society) said that in the Welsh government's language strategy, there was a target by 2011 to halt the decline in the number of communities where Welsh is spoken by over 70% of the population. Chair Robin Farrar said the figures showed ministers had "failed". "These results are obviously a matter of great concern, especially the situation in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion where no communities with over 70% Welsh speakers remain," he said. "Communities of that type are absolutely essential for the language - the international evidence is completely clear. "The language and its communities face a crisis, and the government needs new policies to ensure that the language and its communities thrives." After the figures were published, Welsh Language Commissioner Meri Huws said her office would establish a special unit to recommend policies on protecting the language. The new observatory will examine the effects of economic and housing policies on Welsh-speaking communities. Laws to ensure bilingual services, including in some parts of the private sector, were passed by the last assembly. The Welsh government and opposition politicians are now looking at practical measures to encourage people to speak Welsh in their everyday lives. Ms Huws said: "The policy options we will put forward will be strategic and radical, and will be based upon hard evidence and an open civic discussion. "We will look at examples from abroad and gather the opinions of experts in various specialised fields." Plaid Cymru said the figures were a "setback for the Welsh language and to us all". Leader Leanne Wood said targets set by the Welsh Government had not not been taken seriously, adding: "It is clear that not enough work is being undertaken to maintain Welsh as a community language." Conservative spokesperson Suzy Davies AM said the government's Welsh language strategy had been "called into question". "However, I am much more interested in seeing the Welsh government get this right than getting into the type of political fight which could put people off using and learning Welsh," she added. In parts of south east Wales, such as in Monmouthshire, there was an increase in the number of electoral divisions where more than 10% of people could speak Welsh. But the Welsh government said it recognised the need to do more to "promote and facilitate" the use of the Welsh language. "Our Welsh Language Strategy identifies the key areas that we need to focus on, to help ensure the language's sustainability," a spokesperson said. "The census figures will be used to inform current and future work on the Welsh language and we look forward to working with those who have an interest in the language, to secure its future." Mr Hurt took up his appointment at a ceremony at Norwich City Hall. He said he aimed the make the NUA "second to none and the envy of the most illustrious institutions, not just in this country but worldwide". Set up in 1845 as the Norwich School of Design, its students have included the artist Alfred Munnings. NUA is one of 10 higher education institutions in the UK to receive Privy Council approval to become a university. Professor John Last, Vice-Chancellor of NUA, said: "Well established institutions like us, with a long history and international reputation for outstanding quality and excellence, deserve to be recognised alongside larger universities in the sector. "It acknowledges the sustained excellence of staff and student work which has put us at the forefront of teaching and research in arts, design and media in Europe. "This is a very positive move which will simplify our message to prospective students while retaining our links to our proud heritage." Best known for acting roles in films which include Elephant Man, Midnight Express, 1984 and Alien, Mr Hurt began his association with NUA last year and officially accepted his ceremonial figurehead and ambassador position at the City Hall's Council Chamber. Graham Creelman OBE, chair of the NUA governing board, said: "This is a very significant announcement which recognises that university title has to be about quality and not merely size. "Over many years, under a variety of names, I am proud that this institution has been delivering some of the best education in art and design in the country, well before many modern universities existed. "Our students have gone on to be leaders in their fields and have benefited from the focus and concentration on excellence that a specialist institution can achieve. With our new title we are determined to be not just UK leaders, but world leaders in art, design and media education." Police in south Georgia said the woman, whose identity has not been released, was struck after the crew for Midnight Rider placed a bed on the railway tracks in Doctortown. Wayne County Sheriff John Carter said several other people had been injured, two of them seriously. The crew were testing cameras for a dream sequence, according to The Wrap. Midnight Rider, which is directed by Randall Miller, stars Tyson Ritter and William Hurt as younger and older versions of the Allman Brothers Band frontman, Gregg. None of the cast are believed to have been among the 20 people on set at the time of the accident, as filming was not officially scheduled to begin until Monday. However, Miller is understood to have been present. An eyewitness told Variety that, although the crew were expecting two local trains, a third had arrived unexpectedly. A warning whistle was blown, but they had less than a minute to react. As the crew rushed off the tracks, Miller and a photographer scrambled to remove the bed. Miller fell and had to be pulled to safety, according to the witness. They said the train then hit the bed which "exploded". The debris struck and killed a second camera assistant. Rail company CSX said it was "cooperating fully with authorities as they investigate." "Initial reports indicate that at least three people were injured, one fatally," said a statement. "CSX personnel are working with first responders to meet the needs of those injured. A train was en route from Memphis to Savannah when the incident occurred." After reading Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now?, software engineer Justen Hyde from Bladon raised £5,933 to buy a copy for every member of parliament. He also sent Ian Dunt's book to every member of the devolved parliaments in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. He said he sent it because it seemed "no one has the faintest idea what's going to happen next on Brexit". "People are just making it up as they go along," he added. Mr Dunt, who is also editor of politics.co.uk, said he wrote the book to have an impartial and "adult conversation" about the issues and called Mr Hyde a "miracle worker". Philosopher A C Grayling is among the 363 supporters of the campaign. Mr Hyde said he was "absolutely flabbergasted" to have raised the money. "I've never done anything like this before," he said. "I don't have a social media presence to speak of, and we got enough funding to send books to every MP in less than a week from setting out the appeal. I've had a good cross section of people supporting it. "What I would hope is that the public will be reading the book, and other books about Brexit, and they should be talking to their MPs and asking them hard questions about the realities and details of Brexit, because it's going to affect all of our lives." The duo become the latest players to commit to Albion in National One after being relegated from the Championship. Dacres, 23, played for Moseley in the Championship last season and has also spent time at Rotherham in the second tier of English rugby. "Nile is an athletic and agile player in the back five of the scrum," said Albion director of rugby Graham Dawe. "He still has the appetite to develop as a player and we hope we can make best use of his talent in the coming season." Jon Dawe, 21, who is no relation to the Albion boss, was part of the Cornwall side that won the County Championship final last month with Graham Dawe in charge. "Moving to Plymouth Albion will give me the opportunity to play a higher level of rugby which will help my development," Jon Dawe said. "I can play centre or wing but I think Graham primarily sees me as a winger." So far there are 12 players confirmed for Albion's squad for next season. Former Exeter and Newcastle centre Tom Bedford, New Zealand-born hooker James Penman, Australians Marc Koteczky and Ethan Ford, Cameron Setter and Dan Pullinger have all signed deals for next season. The club have also held talks with Cornwall and England Counties scrum-half Matt Shepherd and have signed Exeter academy trio Jack Maunder, Ed Holmes and Harrison Cully on season-long loans. The claim: Brexit Secretary David Davis says the Great Repeal Bill will allow the UK Parliament and Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland administrations to scrap, amend and improve laws. Reality Check verdict: The bill got its name because it will repeal the European Communities Act. But it will not change EU laws - it will turn them into UK laws. The UK could, if it wanted to, make changes to those laws after it leaves the EU, probably in 2019. Her government has published plans do to this by passing a Great Repeal Bill - the white paper laying out the plans for the bill was unveiled by Brexit Secretary David Davis in Parliament the day after Article 50 was triggered. The bill will do two things. First, as its name suggests, the bill will repeal the European Communities Act, the British law that took the UK into the European Community in 1973 and which established the supremacy of EU law over domestic legislation. Second, it will transpose the entire body of EU legislation into domestic law. The UK Parliament currently has no power to repeal EU legislation. It is hard to calculate exactly what proportion of UK laws come from the EU - estimates range from 13% to 60%. Transposing EU legislation into domestic law will not be a simple "copy and paste" job. The House of Commons library says it could be "one of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken in the UK". Many EU laws, for example on the environment, refer to EU agencies that the UK will no longer be part of when it leaves the Union. The Great Repeal Bill will have to find new ways of making those rules part of UK law. Any rules that cannot be transferred will have to be repealed. The government has controversial plans to give ministers the power to make changes to some laws without full Parliamentary scrutiny, which could add further complications. They are known as Henry VIII clauses, after the Statute of Proclamations 1539, which gave the king power to legislate by proclamation. Some opposition politicians are concerned this could mean an executive power grab - the government changing laws without proper scrutiny by MPs. The government says these powers will only be used to deal with EU-related gaps in the law, not to make substantive policy changes. After the bill comes into effect, probably in March 2019, the UK Parliament, and the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, will be able to amend, scrap or keep laws that originated from the EU. That process is likely to take many years. Read more from Reality Check Civil protection officials have already revealed that rescuers were let down by the Siresp emergency services network during the four-day disaster. Now details have emerged of pleas for help that did not get through to commanders on the ground. The government has ordered an investigation into the network. The fire began in the Pedrógão Grande area during the afternoon on 17 June and within hours the failures of the emergency network, which relies on mobile antennas, were becoming clear. The first failure came at 19:45 on 17 June. Three people dialled the 112 emergency number from an abandoned house in nearby Casalinho to report that the building was surrounded by flames. Emergency services tried to contact the local command post and the deputy commander but were unable to get through, according to a civil protection authority (ANPC) timeline, described by Portuguese media as a "black box". Five minutes later, officials were unable to contact a command post to help a father and son in trouble a few kilometres away in Troviscais. These and several other cases are documented throughout the night by the Público and Jornal de Notícias websites. At 01:02 on 18 June comes the most chilling entry on the civil protection authority's log, in a reference to the deaths of 47 people on a single stretch of the N-236 road. Thirty of the victims died in their cars. A district relief operations command appeals for help in tackling "breakdowns in the Siresp network" and for "lifting the dead victims who are in the road, making it impossible for combat means to get through". The civil protection authority has already confirmed "failures in the Siresp network" that continued throughout the four-day emergency and on the Saturday evening, firefighters resorted to using their old radio network. The government on Monday said it had asked for a study into Siresp's operation, particularly during serious accidents and disasters. Prime Minister Antonio Costa said last week that the network had suffered because cables and communication towers had been damaged by the fire. However, he said the mobile network had provided temporary mobile antennas. The forest fires were the worst in Portugal's history, with 64 dead and 254 injured. Portugal's Siresp (joint emergency and security network system) has had a chequered past. It was set up in 2006 as a partnership between the government and private sector. The system stopped working during a rescue attempt in storms in January 2013 and it was linked to the deaths of two firefighters a few months later. Labour's Keith Reynolds said "health issues" forced him to make the decision before council elections on 4 May. He said he was "extremely proud and honoured" to have represented Aberbargoed for 38 years and to have served as leader for three years. Chris Burns, the council's interim chief executive, described him as "an outstanding public servant". For now, that means it will continue to form an integral part of the UK - but for Scottish devolution, the process of granting powers from Westminster to the Scottish parliament, it's far from business as usual. The focus will now be on how the UK government delivers its promise of more powers for the Scottish parliament, based at Holyrood, Edinburgh. Here's what's likely to happen next. The three biggest UK-wide political parties - The Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats - agree that further devolution of powers to Holyrood must take place. During the referendum campaign, the parties signed a pledge to devolve more powers to Scotland, if Scots rejected independence. A timetable to deliver change was set out by former prime minister - and Scottish MP - Gordon Brown. It was quickly endorsed by the UK-wide parties. Immediately after the result became clear, Prime Minister David Cameron aimed to show the UK government was grabbing the initiative by announcing Lord Smith of Kelvin, a former BBC governor, to oversee the implementation of more devolution on tax, spending and welfare. He said draft legislation would be ready by January, as per the timetable laid out by Brown. Under the former PM's proposals, a "command paper" would be published by the present UK government setting out all the proposals by the end of October. A white paper would be drawn up by the end of November, after a period of consultation, setting out the proposed powers. A draft new "Scotland Act" law would be published by Burns Night (25 January) 2015 ready for the House of Commons to vote on. However, with a UK general election due in May 2015, the legislation would not be passed until the new parliament began. The Scottish Parliament is currently funded through a block grant and the amount it gets is defined by the Barnett Formula - an arrangement for adjusting funds to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to spend on devolved policy areas, on the basis of population . All three parties are committed to preserving the essence of this mechanism in some form. And in proposals set out by the parties earlier this year, each offered Holyrood considerably more income tax-raising powers than the Scottish parliament has at present. However, there were significant differences between the parties in the proposed extent of those changes. Labour wants to give Holyrood the power to vary income tax by 15p in the pound - but not the power to cut the top tax rate on its own. The Conservatives propose to give Scotland total control over income tax rates and bands. Holyrood would also be accountable for 40% of the money it spent. The Liberal Democrats propose giving Scotland power over income tax, inheritance and capital gains tax. The party has also touted scrapping the Act of Union between Scotland and England and replacing it with a declaration of federalism. None of this will suffice for the Scottish National Party, but just as the Edinburgh Agreement, committed Prime Minister David Cameron to honouring the referendum result, the same is true for the Scottish first minister. The Scottish government is expected to fight for a "devo max" - essentially far-reaching devolution - package of powers, likely to include total control over income tax, corporation tax, and air passenger duty, and extensive control over welfare. UK political parties will have to work through their differences, and come up with a single proposal. But others will also be involved. In the lead up to the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, the UK government laid out its devolved responsibilities in a White Paper in July 1997, before they were backed by voters and put into legislation. Credit for paving the road towards Scottish devolution was given to the Scottish Constitutional Convention, an association of Scottish political parties, churches and other civic groups set up in 1989. Lord Smith's new body on finalising Holyrood's new powers could in some ways be seen as a modern-day version of the organisation. So what now for the SNP? In the immediate future, it's back to government - the job to which the SNP was elected by a landslide at the last Scottish Parliament election. But, following the "No" vote, Mr Salmond announced he would step down as SNP leader and first minister at the SNP's annual conference in November. There will now be an SNP leadership contest - these are known for being interesting - with Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon the clear frontrunner. But might we see former leadership challengers Mike Russell, Alex Neil and Roseanna Cunningham - all now members of the Scottish government - also throw their hats in the ring? John Swinney though, Scotland's finance secretary, has ruled out a return to the leadership, a job he held between 2000 and 2004. And, for a party which hasn't always had the most harmonious existence, the SNP's shown a remarkable level of discipline since winning office in 2007 - but could that now be in jeopardy? However, given the scale of the SNP's last election victory, it is quite possible the party will win the next Scottish parliament election, especially if voters feel Labour has not done enough to win back their trust as a party of government. With increased devolution of powers to Holyrood, many will want to address the so-called West Lothian question: is it fair that English MPs have no say on devolved issues in Scotland, but Scottish MPs at Westminster can still vote on the same issues as they affect England? A recent poll by YouGov for the Herald suggested 62% of English people believe Scottish MPs should be banned from voting on England-only laws. Many in Wales and Northern Ireland will also ask whether they should be getting more powers too. The other issue for Wales is the continuation of the Barnett funding formula, which sees Scotland get more spending per head than the UK average. Plaid Cymru says the arrangement would leave Wales £300m poorer each year, while Labour has promised to address the issue if it wins the 2015 UK election. The Pilgrims are already assured of promotion but were hoping to turn up the heat on League Two leaders Doncaster with a win. Colchester also have promotion in their sights but lost ground in the play-off race after dropping points in their penultimate home game. Despite the lack of goals, both sides had chances during an absorbing contest. Colchester's best effort was a miscued, close-range header from Chris Porter, after a teasing left-wing delivery from Brennan Dickenson. Porter then screwed another low effort agonisingly wide, this time from Drey Wright's cross. Plymouth's Antoni Sarcevic got clear down the right after being played in by Graham Carey but his powerful shot flashed wide of the right post. The Pilgrims went close after a corner from the left appeared to be deflected goalwards by U's defender George Elokobi, before being safely gathered by Sam Walker.

Stefan Forge, a 47-year-old microbiologist from Harrogate, was hit at Buttersyke Bar on 22 August in 2001. A fellow rider was also hit and suffered serious injuries. North Yorkshire Police said "with the passage of time we hope someone is in a position to come forward". Officers said a front spoiler from a type of Seat vehicle was found near the scene and want to trace the driver and eliminate him from the investigation. Police investigating the collision are now carrying out a review of the case and appealing to anyone who has any information but has not contacted the police. Sgt Ian Pope, of the Major Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Fourteen years have passed since Stefan died and I am hoping that with the passage of time, someone is now in a position to come forward with information that can help our investigation. "Stefan's family have had to carry on with their lives, not knowing the full circumstances of his death or who was responsible. "We are still working on behalf of them, and hope that someone with that vital piece of information that will lead us to the identity of the vehicle and its driver, is out there."

Police investigating the death of a cyclist who was knocked off his bike by a hit-and-run driver 14 years ago have renewed their appeal for information.

Appliances currently owned by the brigade can only ascend up to 32m (105ft) and could not reach the upper floors of the block. Commissioner Dany Cotton told the BBC it was "one of my priorities" to get taller fire trucks and "early conversations" had already been held. But given how many tower blocks there are in the capital, how come the city's brigade do not already have access to such appliances? "There's lots of anger in the fire services", Lucy Masoud, a firefighter and regional officer for the FBU explains. "Those firefighters on the scene who had to make a choice about who they were going to save and who they had to let stay and die." She believes taller aerial appliances would have been a "game changer". "They give more accessibility and more options, and are safer for us as firefighters... Undoubtedly we would have been able to save more lives," she said. The tallest aerial platform used in the operation at the north Kensington block was borrowed from Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Reaching up to 42m (138ft) in height, the fire truck, which is based in Leatherhead, is the tallest in the country. Yet it was unable to reach the top floors of the 24-storey Grenfell Tower, which stands at nearly 70m (230ft). The issue of whether LFB should have taller platforms has been brought up before at the inquiry into the 2009 Lakanal House fire in Camberwell, south London, in which six people died. "We wanted to see a recommendation for platforms and ladders that could save people and also issue jets of water in high-rise tower blocks," victims' lawyer Louise Christian said. She said a written submission by fire experts to lawyers for the Lakanal House inquest specifically mentioned aerial platforms built by Bronto Skylift, but no recommendation was ever made. Bronto Skylift, based in Finland, develop aerial platforms which can reach heights of more than 100m (328ft). According to managing director Harry Clayhills, the firm's fire platforms are used by more than 100 brigades in 16 countries around the world. A 90m (295ft) appliance costs more than £1m each but can be used to rescue people from tower blocks and allow crews to spray water on a blaze from a height. But it is not known if such a unit would have been able to get close enough to the tower for it to be used given the intensity of the fire and the layout of the surrounding streets. It is London's road layout which partly explains why larger devices are not currently owned by London Fire Brigade. A spokesperson for the brigade said the appliances they use have been "selected for their manoeuvrability and ability to access properties". Higher ladders "require more room and carry more weight and so are often impractical in a city like London where streets and road ways can be narrow and traffic is often congested," the spokesperson said. They added that high-rise fires were also usually fought by crews from within the building itself "to ensure the seat of the fire is attacked as quickly as possible", rather than from a height. Ms Cotton said high platform vehicles were now available which could fit into London's narrow streets. "We are fortunately just about to replace our aerial fleet so as part of that we will look at the new technology that will allow us to have taller aerial platforms," she said. MP Jim Fitzpatrick, who was a firefighter in the capital for 20 years, believes the public inquiry into the Grenfell disaster will have to look at whether the brigade had the correct equipment for the job. "These are genuine and realistic questions that the inquiry will have to answer," he said. His family confirmed that he died on Friday morning in Edenvale hospital in Johannesburg. The 38-year-old singer, loved for his energetic stage performances, had hits with Mphefumlo Wami and Ndixolele. President Jacob Zuma led the tributes to the star, saying Tyamara was "one of the best gospel artists that the country has ever produced". The BBC's Milton Nkosi in Johannesburg said the award-winning star brought gospel to a younger generation through his unique style and drew thousands of people closer to the music genre. Africa Live: Updates on this and other news stories His manager Tshepo Nzimande explained what made Mr Tyamara so popular: "He had energy on stage and he was very powerful." Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa said there was "a deep sense of grief for losing such a young life. He is a success story that South African youth have a significant contribution to make in our society." Popular evangelist pastor Paseka "Mboro" Motsoeneng who had visited the musician in hospital also described to local newspaper how shocked he was when he heard the news. "It was a massive shock to me. I could not believe it at first but I was grateful that I could pray for him and bring him closer to the Lord." The singer had been receiving treatment since being diagnosed in December. A family statement, released on Friday, said that Lundi has passed away peacefully just after midnight. Tyamara is the third young artist to die within the last six months, after the deaths of another gospel star Sifiso Ncwane and musician Mduduzi "Mandoza" Tshabalala, both also aged 38. The PM is aiming for Britain to have the highest percentage of people in work of any developed nation. Mr Cameron said it had been a "tough few years" but added that the country was "coming out the other side". Labour said the Conservatives' promises would sound like "empty words" to the unemployed or those on low pay. Mr Cameron's goal of "full employment" would involve the UK, currently 72%, overtaking Germany's 74% in terms of the percentage of people in work, said BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith. There is no timescale, but it is an "aspiration which he wants to achieve", he added. In a speech in Ipswich, the prime minister said full employment would mean that "anyone who wants a job is able to get a job in our country". He outlined Conservative manifesto pledges on employment and enterprise, including an increase to 75,000 in the number of start-up loans provided by the government in the next parliament. The loans provide about £5,000 to young entrepreneurs founding a business. He also pledged investment in infrastructure to attract businesses and creating three million new apprenticeships. It had been a "tough few years", Mr Cameron said, adding: "We haven't solved all Britain's economic problems, but the plan is working." He said it was a "myth" that the economic recovery was only benefiting the south, or that most new jobs were being taken by foreigners. On immigration, where the government has failed in its bid to cut net migration to the tens of thousands, Mr Cameron said: "We have made some progress, but not as much as I would like." He promised the "toughest possible welfare controls on people coming from the EU". Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said average wages had fallen by £1,600 every year, while the number of people paid less than a living wage had risen to nearly five million. She added: "David Cameron's talk of full employment will seem like empty words to working people after five years of talents wasted and opportunities denied." TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said full employment "should be a goal for any political party", adding: "But we also need to create decent jobs with good pay and prospects." John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "Full employment should be a goal for any government, but it can only be achieved when Britain's businesses are firing on all cylinders." Racine, 25, and 26-year-old Murphy have both signed initial loan deals until January at the struggling Minstermen. Ex-Southampton youth player Racine has made 117 appearances for Forest Green and is their current club captain. Murphy began his career at Arsenal and has scored seven goals in 17 league games for Rovers this season. York, who are 23rd in the National League and without a win in 15 games, signed Newport striker Jon Parkin on loan with a view to a permanent move on Wednesday. Gaelic Athletic Association president Christy Cooney said her presence "does honour to our Association". Earlier on day two of her visit to the Republic of Ireland, the Queen laid a wreath honouring Ireland's war dead. At a banquet at Dublin Castle this evening, the Queen will make her only public speech of the historic trip. She is the first British monarch to visit the country for 100 years. The Queen was met at the main entrance of Croke Park by Mr Cooney and President Mary McAleese, who is hosting the visit. A display of Irish set dancing was followed by a meeting with GAA officials. Addressing the Queen, Mr Cooney said the visit would underpin and advance the peace process and "go down in the history of the GAA". He said: "Your presence does honour to our Association, to its special place in Irish life, and to its hundreds of thousands of members." By Conor SpackmanBBC News, Dublin On Tuesday, the Queen had laid a wreath in memory of those who died fighting for Ireland against her own country's forces. Less than 24 hours later, she was on the opposite side of Dublin for another memorial - this time, honouring Irishmen who fought and died for Britain in WWI. Dignitaries, including the Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson and many other representatives from the unionist community, looked on as the Queen laid a wreath of poppies. A lone piper played a lament and the band the Last Post before the Queen went to look at the Roll of Honour - the names of 49,400 men who went to war for the crown and did not return. He added that he was "deeply saddened" to attend the funeral of GAA member PSNI Constable Ronan Kerr last month. The Queen was presented with a limited edition book outlining the GAA's history, and Prince Philip was presented with a hurley stick and a sliothar (hurling ball), with the aside that he should use it "in the back garden". Dublin footballer Kevin Nolan, who was one of four players from across Ireland to meet the Queen at Croke Park, told Radio Ulster's Evening Extra it was a "great honour" to represent the GAA at the event. On 21 November 1920, during the War of Independence, 13 spectators and one player were killed when British forces opened fire at a football match at the home of Gaelic sports. Earlier that day, IRA assassination squads had shot dead 14 suspected British intelligence agents in Dublin. The BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said the Queen walking out on the hallowed nationalist turf at Croke Park represented "the once unimaginable becoming the norm". Her speech at Wednesday's state dinner is likely to acknowledge past UK-Irish difficulties without offering an apology, he added. The Queen and Prince Philip were shown how to pour a pint of Guinness on their first stop of the day, but declined a taste of Ireland's most famous export. They then met Prime Minister Enda Kenny and were shown around government buildings in the capital. The Queen then laid a wreath honouring almost 50,000 soldiers at the Irish National War Memorial. The Queen's attendance at the ceremony honouring the Irish soldiers who died in World War I reflects an aspect of history that has been troubling for her hosts. For decades, when the focus of admiration was on the rebels who fought and died in the 1916 Easter Rising, the soldiers' contribution went unrecognised. Follow Peter Hunt's coverage of royal visit Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson on Twitter Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson, who was among the dignitaries at the ceremony, said: "Everyone remembers the past but we have to look to the future, but there are clear indications as a society - in the UK and Republic - people are moving on. "They want better relations and we are in a new era." In Dublin Castle this evening, which used to be the seat of British rule, the monarch will deliver a speech in the same room where Queen Victoria once dined. UK Prime Minister David Cameron will be present at the state dinner, after flying in and holding talks with the Taoiseach, Mr Kenny, on Wednesday evening. Mr Kenny has said he wishes to discuss the release of UK government files on the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings, in which victims' relatives believe there was British state collusion. At prime minister's questions on Wednesday, Mr Cameron told MPs that the relationship between Britain and the Republic of Ireland "probably has never been stronger". "I think the scenes on our television screen last night of the visits that Her Majesty made, to heal the wounds of the past, but also to look to a very bright future between our two countries, are remarkable and hugely welcome," he said. The first day of the royal visit went smoothly, although there were some protests. During the Queen's visit to the Garden of Remembrance, in Dublin, riot police officers jostled with demonstrators at two separate protests on streets several hundred yards away. The garden is dedicated to people who fought for Irish independence from Britain. As the Queen, with President Mary McAleese alongside her, laid a wreath in the garden, the sounds of protesters could be heard and black balloons were released by some demonstrators. Broadcaster RTE reported that 20 men had been charged with public order offences on Tuesday night in relation to the afternoon's violence. Early in the day it emerged that a pipe bomb found on a bus bound for Dublin on Monday had been made safe by the Irish army. One of the country's biggest security operations is in place for the Queen's four-day visit.

Marshall believes that Jared Payne is a "makeshift centre" and that Ireland's attack has been "lacklustre" at times. "They do not have a (centre) combo that really do challenge," said the 81-times capped Marshall on BBC Radio 5 Live. "When you have that, spaces open up for the outside backs and inside backs that completely change the game." Marshall, who won 81 All Blacks caps between 1995 and 2005, believes that the Ireland backline has struggled to fill the gap left by Brian O'Driscoll's retirement even though the Irish managed to retain the Six Nations title earlier this year. Payne was among the try-scorers as Ireland notched seven touchdowns in Saturday's opening 50-7 win over Canada but the Irish will face much tougher World Cup tests including the concluding Pool D game against France on 11 October. "When you go into a restructure like they have when you lose quality centres (like O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy), you are trying to forge a way forward," added Marshall. "You've got to be slightly conservative with the way you go about implementing your game plan. "For me, Jared Payne is a back-three player so he's a makeshift centre. And a lot of their lacklustre attack is because they have not got a (centre) combo that really do challenge." Former England centre Mike Tindall also believes that Ireland may "struggle creatively" when they face the stronger nations later on in the tournament. "I think they are a bit one-dimensional in attack," added 2003 World Cup winner Tindall. "They have a very structured game. They are incredibly good at getting their aerial kicks back and (Johnny) Sexton is one of the best tactical kickers in the game at the moment and Schmidt is one of the best tactical coaches. "But I don't know if they go up against someone like New Zealand whether they will have the ability to score tries. "That is my only question with them. Everything else they have got. "It will be interesting when they play the big game against France whether they can muscle up against the French pack and also be creative enough." After their opening win over Canada, Ireland are back in action against Romania at Wembley on Sunday and they face Italy on 4 October before the concluding pool fixture with France. For the latest rugby union news, follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter The former Celtic and Southampton keeper joined Bournemouth on loan in 2014 when they won promotion to the Premier League and made the move permanent the following year. His contract had been due to expire in the summer. The 37-year-old Poland international has made 32 appearances this season. "We're really pleased for Artur, he's been so consistent for us and in really good form. He's won us points this season," boss Eddie Howe said. Bournemouth, who are 13th in the Premier League, play bottom side Sunderland at the Stadium of Light at 15:00 BST on Saturday. They took a deserved first-half lead when Kebano lost his marker to head in Ryan Fredericks' cross from the right. Fonte doubled the lead after the break, firing in the rebound from a narrow angle after Kebano had a shot saved. Ipswich continued to struggle for possession and chances, as they fell to a first defeat in five league games. The hosts only managed two shots on target, as they failed to make it five league wins from five at the start of a season for the first time in the club's history. Fulham, meanwhile, were unfortunate not to score more, as Fredericks and Fonte both saw efforts hit by the woodwork in the first half. Fonte's goal was his first for the club since arriving from Braga, but his afternoon was ended early when he went off with what appeared to be a groin injury 15 minutes from time. Slavisa Jokanovic's side have now won three successive games against the Tractor Boys since a 2-1 home defeat at Craven Cottage in December 2015. Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy: "Sometimes you just have to take your hat off to your opposition. They were streets ahead of us. They absolutely bashed us up with and without the ball. "We tried putting round pegs in square holes. We had players playing out of position due to injury and I didn't think it was right to go negative. "There's no need to panic. We've had four good results without all of our squad available. You've got to remember that it's just one game, one result. We've won our other four league games." Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic: "We didn't start the season like Ipswich did, but there's a huge number of games still in front of us. "I expect we can start to be more positive now. We know we're not at our best level yet and we've made costly mistakes at the beginning of the season. "We showed we didn't forget how to play good football. There is space for us to be better."

Edmund had three match points but lost 2-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 to Jared Donaldson. World number 43 Evans was given a point penalty for swearing midway through the final set of his 7-5 0-6 6-3 loss to American qualifier Ernesto Escobedo. Watson, who reached the fourth round last year, was beaten 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 by Romania's Patricia Maria Tig. The defeat means the Briton will drop from her current world ranking of 108 and is in danger of having to qualify for the French Open in May, with the entry deadline for the main draw on 17 April. American Donaldson was serving at 0-40, 4-5 in the second set against Edmund, but the 20-year-old American held on to take the tie-break and dominated the decider. Bedene was trailing Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff 7-5 4-0 when he was forced to retire from his match. The British number four was playing his seventh match in as many days after winning a Challenger title in Irving last week. Zach Clough opened the scoring, spinning on to Derik Osede's pass before drilling a powerful effort past Jak Alnwick from the edge of the box. Josh Vela then doubled the lead, sweeping home from close range after Alnwick had spilled Sammy Ameobi's cross-shot. And full-back Lawrie Wilson then sent the Macron into delirium as he hammered a half-cleared corner past Alnwick for his first goal of the season. The home side had chances to go further ahead as Andy Taylor had one effort tipped over the bar and continued to dominate in the second half, with Gary Madine going close on three different occasions. Vale recovered their poise and after defender Remie Streete was denied superbly by goalkeeper Mark Howard, the visitors finally punctured the Wanderers' defence when Sam Hart headed in from close range.

They are also seeking a 13th straight win since Eddie Jones took charge, and an unbeaten 2016. In his final column for BBC Sport as he enters the final stages of his rehabilitation after long-term injury, England flanker James Haskell looks at the talking points. Media playback is not supported on this device England have had some of their best games against Australia over the years and some nail-biting wins. I think back to that last-gasp winner from Dan Luger in 2000, when he got on the end of Iain Balshaw's chip to score the winning try after eight minutes of injury time - it doesn't get much more dramatic than that. Australia are a highly skilled team but they also bring plenty of physicality, as we experienced on tour this summer. We may have won all three games but after we had the physical edge in the first Test, they were very abrasive in the next two matches - there were plenty of flare-ups. They have some great individual players. Israel Folau is one of the best athletes you will ever see. I look at him and wish I had some of his genes so I could do some of the things he does - he's got great pace, sublime handling skills and is such a graceful runner. Folau is one of a number of rugby league players who have made an impact with the Wallabies over the past decade. I like rugby league and when I was playing Super Rugby and living down south I watched Australia's National Rugby League (NRL), and everyone loves State of Origin. I was always struck by how impressive the skill levels of players like Benji Marshall, Shaun Johnson and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck are. You get more time and space in rugby league to produce those skills and I think it makes a difference when you grow up playing league, because you get the chance to learn and execute them as you have that little bit more time on the ball. I talked to Sam Burgess when he was playing union and he explained the work-rate involved, because they're making 30 tackles and 20 to 30 carries, and because there's more time and space it's such a different game to union. I think he found it frustrating that union defences are so well drilled, and there is so little space. You also just don't get the same number of carries as you do in league. I would love to have gone over there and played in the NRL - if they decided I was up to it - and I always asked Sam Burgess if [South Sydney Rabbitohs co-owner] Russell Crowe was interested in signing me. I'm still waiting for the call back. I am sure it will be any day now… Since the game went professional I am kind of surprised so few people have gone over from union to give the NRL a go as it's an attractive game and so big in Australia. I guess that for the level of player likely to give it a go, it would mean giving up international rugby union, and that's always going to be the biggest stage in the game. I am sure someone will make the transition at some point. Sadly it's too late for me. I am trying to learn to play union again, let alone learn to play another game. My Wasps colleague Nathan Hughes gets his first England start on Saturday, in place of the injured Billy Vunipola at number eight. They are different players in a number of ways, but both are known for their supreme carrying power. Billy has quickly become a world-class number eight and although Nathan is right up there on his day, it's a lot to expect him to be thrown into Test rugby and immediately hit those heights. The public and media always clamour for players to get immediate exposure at international level, but they never appreciate that it's such a tough step up, and takes most mortal players time to adjust, although there are exceptions of course. I love the way Nathan plays, he tramples over opposition defenders seemingly at will and carries the ball in one hand like it's a loaf of bread. The other change sees Marland Yarde hold off the challenge of Semesa Rokoduguni to replace the suspended Elliot Daly on the wing. I am told there's been a lot of debate among fans as to which of the two players they want to see starting on Saturday. Having worked on TV for the past few weeks, I have been able to watch closely how England and other teams have been playing. Sadly fans only see the tries and big hits. They don't see the little details, the mistakes and positives that actually decide whether players get selected or not. All I can say is I wouldn't like to be defending against either of them, one on one, in a few metres of space… Equalling England's all-time winning run of 14 games on Saturday would be a huge achievement but it won't have been talked about much by the players. They will be worrying about their performance and will leave it up to the media to hype it up. This week, World Cup-winning England captain Martin Johnson was complimentary about the current team and it's great that someone of his stature would come out and say that. It's very difficult to compare the two sides because they were world champions for a reason. They had world-class players like Johnno, Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio and Matt Dawson, they were winning for a long time and they were very consistent - it is something the current team can aspire to and use as motivation. Media playback is not supported on this device The 'mind games' between rival coaches Eddie Jones and Michael Cheika are not something the players take much notice of. With the media stuff it's something you hear third-hand when you're having a coffee and someone might mention it. But as for what they've been saying, all professional sportspeople try to steal a march on their opponents. When it comes to scrums I joke about just putting my head down and pushing but there's a lot that goes into it, and a lot of it is about countering what the other side are doing. I've been on the side of scrums when the opposition prop hinges from the hips, it looks like my prop's dropped it, and we get penalised. If the coach can bring the referee's attention to something like that then they'll look at it more closely - they're only human. It can be counterproductive though, as they might focus on things you'd rather they didn't. Scrums will always be a contentious area, and as I have said before props like to make it sound more complicated than it is. It's like they are all part of a secret society like the Magic Circle, where they all meet up and agree to make it really tricky for outsiders to understand, so they can continue to be some of the highest-paid players in the world. I have tried to get into the club, but I don't have 18in studs or understand what boring in means. Saturday is going to be a hard-fought game - they always are with Australia. The set-piece battle - the scrum and the line-out - is going to be closely contested, as is the driving game from the pack, while there will be plenty of physicality in defence. Last week, England shut down the Argentina attack when they tried to go wide and that is a good sign because in the first Test in the summer, in Brisbane, when Australia went 'wide wide' they found us out on the edges. That happens for a number of reasons. Firstly people over-commit to the breakdown, which leaves you men down in the defensive line. People not filling the space quickly enough is also an issue, as is not getting enough line speed as you come up to defend and close down their space. Then there's the class of the Wallaby attack. They often pass to a back very deep and that gives them a lot of space to attack, and you a lot of space to defend, so you've got to push up and close them down. You will also see guys getting off the floor as quickly as they can to get back in the game. Given the threat of the Australian backs, England will have focused on defending out wide and will have identified the threats, so hopefully we won't see them getting round the outside again. We won the second Test in the summer because of a massive defensive performance. Games like that, when you are defending for so much of the time, feel different to regular games. It's a mixture of confidence, because you are going so well defensively, and nervousness because you can make 50 tackles but if you miss one they can be right back in the game. You feel both calm and anxious at the same time. It's important when you don't have the ball to celebrate every little win, whether that is a big hit, turnover or smart bit of play. Maro Itoje is the king of that, at one point he whooped so hard he was shaking. I expect Saturday's game to be more like the third June Test, which was much more open. It will start with real intensity but then we should see both teams looking to attack. Australia's back row, with Michael Hooper and David Pocock dovetailing so well, is very dangerous and they can cause opponents lots of problems. For me, they are still the most dangerous pairing out there. You deal with one, and the other pops up causing trouble. It is interesting to see Nick Phipps at scrum-half - he is a very fiery character on the pitch. He has a speedy service and the quality of his delivery to Bernard Foley - who is a very good 10 on his day but produced a mixed bag in the summer - will be a big factor in how Australia perform. The England boys will want to put pressure on them, because they are heartbeat of the Wallaby team, and make their lives a living hell. They will need to feel that every time they look up they have a Tom Wood, George Kruis or Nathan Hughes breathing down their necks England will win, but I'm not one for making score predictions. The BBC Sport users might like to do so below though, or you can let me know your verdict on Twitter. James Haskell was talking to BBC Sport's James Standley The words of Martin Narey, chief executive of Barnardo's, which runs a number of projects working with hundreds of sexually abused teenaged girls. Child sexual exploitation by older men who groom them - not on the internet, but on the street - is finally getting widespread public attention. The Derby case, which saw the ringleaders of a gang which groomed and abused teenage girls in Derby given indeterminate jail terms, has provided shocking evidence of the persistence of some abusers. Abid Siddique, 28, and Mohammed Liaqat, 27, led a gang that cruised the streets of Derby - looking for, the judge said "sex at any price" - with young teenagers. He described Siddique in particular as a "sexual predator, with a voracious sexual appetite". Siddique was given an 11-year sentence, with a requirement he serve all of it before being considered for release. Liaqat was sentenced to eight years on the same terms. Their victims were offered drink, drugs and lifts to parties. Once they seemed friendly with the men, they were raped or sexually assaulted - sometimes kept prisoner, sometimes thrown onto the street after the abuse. Derby was typical of a pattern of exploitation being tracked by police and experts around Britain. The girls tended to be 16 or younger. Often they were from challenging backgrounds - homes with inconsistent parenting, or with a history of alcohol or drug problems. And there is one controversial factor that many of the experts in the field are often not happy to discuss freely. The race of the abusers. The string of convictions in cities such as Rotherham, Preston, Blackburn, Rochdale and now Derby have more often than not involved Asian men, specifically men of Pakistani origin, and mainly Muslim. In this case the judge said the race of the victims and their abusers was "coincidental", but there are concerns within Asian communities about the problem. Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, a Muslim youth organisation, became the first community leader to speak out in a BBC interview two years ago. He is not afraid of raising the issue. "Although there have been some cases of white men being involved in this sexual exploitation of young girls, most of the perpetrators are Muslim. "There are some Muslims who think that as long as these sex gangs aren't targeting their own sisters and daughters the issue doesn't affect them... but the vast majority of Muslims find these actions abhorrent and disgusting," he said. He stresses these are not religiously-motivated offences but crimes carried out by men for "their own depraved sexual gratification". "These people think that white girls have fewer morals and are less valuable than our girls." Another commentator, Manzoor Moghul, chairman of the Muslim Forum, agrees. "Offenders are under the misapprehension white girls are easy prey. The way they dress, their culture, makes them easy pickings," he said. But other experts in the field believe it is wrong to suggest that child sexual exploitation is solely perpetrated by Asian men against white girls. Sheila Taylor runs Safe and Sound Derby, a group that was instrumental in persuading girls to give evidence against Siddique and Liaqat. "This model of street-grooming is going on in many places. It is just that the recent spate of prosecutions against Asian men in the north of England and Midlands makes it look like it is concentrated in these communities," she said. She believes some exploitation cases are harder than others to investigate, and is particularly concerned about the sexual abuse of young boys by older gangs of varied races. Boys are simply less likely to talk about being raped, she says. Barnardo's workers in London have also told the BBC about girls they have worked with who were abused by street gangs in the capital. In some cases the grooming involved offering young people the chance to join a gang, in return for their participation in group rapes. All of those working on the problem say it is important to remember the victims are too young to be able to legally consent to sex. Even if they do not say no to their abuser, it is still rape. There is a growing feeling this is a problem that needs more vigorous attention from the government. Derby Safeguarding Children Board has told the BBC it will formally request the Home Office carry out research into the backgrounds of those involved in sexual exploitation. The Home Office said: "We are working to ensure local police and children's services are well placed to respond to child sexual exploitation, including supporting dedicated child abuse teams and specialist officers in every police (force)." Mr Lee is facing charges over his alleged role in a bribery scandal which led to the ousting of the ex-President Park Guen-hye. It is alleged he made a large donation in exchange for government support of a merger of two Samsung subsidiaries. He has been in prison since February over the scandal, but denies any wrongdoing. Samsung scandal: Who is Lee Jae-yong? South Korea's presidential scandal At the final hearing, prosecutors called Mr Lee the "ultimate beneficiary" of crimes committed in the scandal. Prosecutors have accused Mr Lee and four other executives of bribing Ms Park's close confidante, Choi Soon-sil, with millions of dollars in exchange for presidential favours. They are seeking terms ranging from seven to 10 years for his co-accused. "The defendants were closely tied to power and sought personal gains," the prosecutors said. The prosecutors alleged the bribes were aimed at winning government support for a major restructuring of Samsung. They said the restructuring would help to cement the leadership of Mr Lee, who was standing in as chairman for his ill father, Lee Kun-hee. Mr Lee's lawyers said the allegations were unjustified and the defendants never sought anything in return for the donations. A court ruling is expected on 25 August. Dutch national Richard de Wit, 43, denies charges of murder and illegally fleeing the state. Earlier, the trial was adjourned as the prosecution again failed to provide the murder weapon before the court. BBC reporter Riyaz Masroor said there was "every chance the case could collapse" if no evidence is produced. Sarah Groves was found stabbed to death on a houseboat in Srinagar, where she had been living with a local family, on 6 April. During Mr de Wit's trial, the court heard that there was an issue with the forensic evidence. The prosecution lawyer said the state authorities did not have the proper facilities to rule if the items seized from the houseboat were actually used in the murder. The items seized, believed to be several knives and a pair of scissors, have been sent to the neighbouring state of Punjab for analysis, the BBC's reporter said. Mr de Wit's lawyer said the prosecution had put forward no convincing or substantial evidence and claimed the authorities were "framing" his client, he added. The trial is due to resume on 16 September. The 81-year-old is up for singer of the year, while Lodestar, her first record since 1978, is up for best album. Collins was an immensely important figure in Britain's folk-rock scene in the 1960s, thanks to her pared-down singing style and strong storytelling. But her career was cut short by the end of her marriage in the late 1970s. The star's second husband, Ashley Hutchings, left her for a young actress who took to showing up at Collins' performances. One night, during a performance of Lark Rise at London's National Theatre, she froze on-stage and found herself unable to sing. "My voice just... my throat locked," she told NPR last year. "I was trying not to weep. Some nights I could manage a few notes, sometimes nothing came out at all when I opened my mouth. And it was in front of an audience, you know, and the band." Collins developed a form of dysphonia, a condition often associated with psychological trauma. In the years that followed, she wrote books while working in charity shops and a job centre to support herself. But her music was discovered by a younger generation of fans - including Blur's Graham Coxon and the Decemberists' Colin Meloy. Eventually, she was coaxed back onto the stage - and released her new album to wide acclaim last year. Collins is nominated for singer of the year alongside Ireland's Daoiri Farrell, Scottish musician Kris Drever, and five-time Folk Award winner Jim Causley. Farrell has the most nominations, three in all, while Songs of Separation - a project inspired by the Scottish referendum, featuring Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart and Jenny Hill - has two. US folk icon Woody Guthrie will be inducted to the Folk Awards Hall of Fame on the 50th anniversary of his death. The author of classics such as Do Re Mi, Pretty Boy Floyd and This Train Is Bound For Glory, his songs were a major influence on popular music, and have been covered by the likes of Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Just this week, Lady Gaga sang a portion of his civil rights anthem This Land Is Your Land in a thinly-veiled attack on Donald Trump at the Super Bowl. Billy Bragg, who made a Grammy award-winning album with Wilco based on unused Woody Guthrie lyrics, will pay tribute to the star with a headline performance at the awards. Scottish singer-songwriter Al Stewart, best known for the hit single Year Of The Cat, will also perform, after being honoured with the lifetime achievement award. Mark Radcliffe and Julie Fowlis will present the awards at London's Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday, 5 April. The ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 2.

On Wednesday, a judge at Belfast Magistrates Court, ruled that they took part in a rendition of the Famine Song, aggravated by hostility, while marching in a circle at St Patrick's Church in north Belfast during a 12 July parade in 2012. The 13 defendants, all members of the Belfast band, Young Conway Volunteers, denied playing the controversial tune. They instead claimed to have been performing the Beach Boys hit Sloop John B. Three of the defendants received five-month suspended prison sentences for their actions. The other 10 were each bound to keep the peace for the next two years, with a prohibition on engaging in aggressive, provocative or disorderly behaviour. Fines of £300 were imposed on all of the defendants apart from those tried as youths. Senior judges in Scotland have previously ruled the controversial Famine Song - which includes the line "The famine's over, why don't you go home?" - to be racist. The episode outside the church marked the first in a series of incidents at the Donegall Street location. A judge said it was "outrageous and inflammatory behaviour which could have precipitated serious public disorder." The defendants had contested a charge of doing a provocative act likely to cause public disorder or a breach of the peace. 'Racial hatred' During a hearing, defence lawyers played songs by a Swedish folk singer, a Star Trek enthusiast and football fan chants - all to the same tune - in a bid to have their clients cleared. Paul Shaw, band leader on the day of the parade, was the only one of the accused to give evidence. He said they had been forced to stop outside the church due to a break in the parade and started up the Beach Boys tune to ward off lethargy among tired members. He said he had penned a letter to local Catholic parishioners. "That was to explain the band in no way had any intention to cause any upset to anybody," he said. "I felt it was my duty as band leader." However, District Judge Paul Copeland rejected the defence case, finding that the band could have behaved differently as they waited to march on. "They had choices to make; they didn't stand and wait quietly, they didn't disperse for the short period of time available to them, they didn't march in silence to a drum beat, they didn't sit down, join supporters or family and take a break. "Instead, I find there was a studied and deliberate piece of conduct which involved their playing and marching not just past this church, but deliberately remaining within feet of the doorstep." Emphasising the context of the situation at St Patrick's, he said the Famine Song has entered into the "repertoire" of loyalist band music. It has the potential "as an anthem of sectarian abuse at least, or, at worst, racial hatred", Judge Copeland said. Prince Charles told BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time that his grandson has helped to dig in "a tree or two" at his Gloucestershire home. The prince said he has even redesigned some of his gardens to make them more child-friendly. He also described how his own passion for gardening started in his childhood. Speaking from Highgrove the prince said: "You never know, do you, what people are going to be interested in. "The most important thing is I got him planting a tree or two here, so we planted it together and shovelled in the earth. "That's the way, I think, when you are very small, and then each time they come you say, 'Do you see how much the tree has grown, or whatever?' and you hope that they take an interest." Prince Charles described his passion for gardening as a "marvellous, therapeutic business... you can get reward from it but you can also be driven mad by it". He said his interest was sparked by pottering around in the garden at Buckingham Palace, where he tended a little plot near Constitution Hill, and also by spending time with his grandmother, The Queen Mother, at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. "I always like gardening - I hate to say this - from a child's point of view. It's a funny thing, because I have such happy memories of bits of garden at my grandmother's house. "In Scotland and here I have tried to design it with what would appeal to a child; it is the paths and the interests. "I have tried to do that at Dumfries House as well. We have made a maze now up there which is rather fun, and I adored a maze when I was young. You just put yourself in the child's position and sometimes it works." Gardener's Question Time will broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 15:00 BST on Friday. The raid, at Beaverbrooks in Hanley on 17 November, saw jewellery and watches stolen. A 25-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman have already been charged in connection with the raid. A 36-year-old man was arrested in the Oldham area of Greater Manchester on Friday and a number of homes in the area were searched by officers. Det Ch Insp Ricky Fields, from Staffordshire Police, said there was a "substantial reward" for information that led to the recovery of stolen items. Amber Rudd told the BBC the work permit proposal "certainly has value" but nothing was being ruled out. She accepted EU nations could choose to impose new restrictions, including requiring Britons to apply for permission before travelling. Ms Rudd said it was a "given" people voted Leave to reduce immigration. Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, she reiterated the prime minister's dismissal of a points-based system to control EU migration championed by Brexit campaigners in the build-up to the referendum, saying it "simply doesn't work". She said her department was considering the alternative of requiring EU migrants to have work permits. "Whether we look at a work permit system or another system is something that my department is looking at closely at the moment," she said. Asked about a possible trade-off between curbing the free movement of people and being allowed access to the EU's single market, Ms Rudd said the UK will have "complete control" over numbers once it leaves the EU, "with one or two provisos". The new model "has got to be reciprocal", she said. "We are going to have to work out what's in the UK's interests as well going to the European Union and what works for our economy and making sure that we get the right balance." Asked about the Conservatives' long-standing target to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands - latest figures had it at 327,000 - she said the government was "completely committed" to reducing immigration, and "yes tens of thousands, although it will take some time". She also confirmed the government was looking at ways of reducing the number of people using student visas to come to the UK, but said there would be "no blanket ban". The home secretary said reports that Britons may have to pay for permission to visit the EU after Brexit were "a reminder that this is a two-way negotiation" adding: "I don't think it is particularly desirable but we do not rule it out because we have to be given a free hand." Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham said such a proposal could cost a British family visiting the EU £50. "This is yet another example of the drift and confusion as a result of the government's failure to plan for Brexit," he added. Ms Rudd, one of the leading voices in the Remain campaign ahead of the referendum, played down her attacks on Leave campaigner Boris Johnson, who is now foreign secretary. Asked about her comment in a TV debate that Mr Johnson was "the life and soul of the party" but "not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening", she said: "Boris is not the the driver, Theresa May is the driver. "She is very clear that we are all focused in the same direction and we are all going to deliver on what she has asked us to do." It said the action had been taken on the grounds of national security. President Tayyip Erdogan accuses Mr Gulen of instigating a failed coup against him last July - a charge the cleric denies. Earlier, authorities detained more than 1,000 people in the latest operation against alleged Gulen supporters. The nationwide sweep was one of the largest such operations carried out in Turkey in months. As well as the 1,009 detained on Wednesday, arrest warrants were issued for another 3,224 people, as part of a police operation across Turkey's 81 provinces, reports said. Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said the raids were targeting a Gulenist network "that infiltrated our police force, called 'secret imams'". In the aftermath of the 15 July coup attempt, which was led by military officers, 40,000 people were arrested and 120,000 sacked or suspended. They included soldiers, police, teachers, and public servants - all of whom were accused of having links with militant groups. The latest purge comes just over a week after President Erdogan narrowly won a controversial referendum on increasing his powers. Opponents fear the victory, which has bitterly divided Turkey, brings him closer to authoritarian rule. Two days after the referendum, Turkey's parliament extended a nine-month state of emergency by a further three months. It was widely expected that the post-coup purge would accelerate once President Erdogan achieved the referendum victory he wanted. He feels emboldened and there's no longer a risk of jeopardising potential referendum votes. No matter that the opposition still contests the referendum results, and their claim of widespread fraud is backed by a scathing report from election observers. The president says the result is final. So on Wednesday the police bore the brunt of the detentions, but other institutions are likely to follow suit. The governing AKP party was full of Gulen supporters when Mr Erdogan and the cleric were staunch allies. It hasn't yet been purged and could now be targeted. And even if not, the threat will be dangled over potential opponents like a sword of Damocles: speak out and your Gulen affiliation will be exposed. The scale of the "anti-Gulen" arrests has raised alarm in Europe, and stalled Turkey's bid to join the EU. After the latest sweep, Germany's foreign ministry said it had "taken note of the mass detentions with concern". All-rounder Maxwell was set to join the Australia A squad in India but he will instead remain at Yorkshire. The 26-year-old was originally signed for the T20 Blast, but will now be available for the One-Day Cup and County Championship as well. However, New Zealand's Kane Williamson will join the club for the final four games of the Championship season. Finch's foot injury ended a poor run at Yorkshire, in which he averaged 12.66 in the T20 Blast. It is the latest in a series of injury problems for the batsman, who bruised a lung during a second XI game, shortly after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered while playing in the Indian Premier League. "That's the end of the season for Aaron, as far as Yorkshire is concerned," director of cricket Martyn Moxon told the club website: "It is a great disappointment for Aaron and the club and we wish him a speedy recovery." At least seven police forces are carrying out investigations linked to abuse claims involving Sir Edward. Wiltshire Police said having a lead force would ensure a "consistent approach" across the police forces. The Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation said it was confident he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. Sir Edward lived in Salisbury, Wiltshire, for many years and died at his home there in 2005 aged 89. Operation Hydrant, a national hub coordinating inquiries into historical abuse, has been liaising with forces which received information concerning Sir Edward. On 3 August the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, said it would look at whether officers at Wiltshire Police failed to pursue allegations made against the former prime minister. A retired detective has alleged that claims were made in the 1990s but not followed up. Announcing its lead role on Tuesday, a spokesman for Wiltshire Police said it would be working with the respective forces to establish an "appropriate national investigative strategy and supporting structure". The spokesman said: "Due to the complexities of this task it is anticipated that this will take a number of weeks to finalise. "One of the first tasks will be to assess the new information that has been received following the appeals for information made last week." Wiltshire Police is also being investigated by the IPCC over claims it halted an inquiry into former brothel keeper Myra Forde in the 1990s after she said she would expose Sir Edward as being involved in child sexual abuse. She recently denied the claims and said she had "no knowledge of any misconduct on his part". The prosecuting barrister at the time, Judge Nigel Seed QC, has since said claims against Sir Edward played no part in the decision to drop the case. Following the announcement of the IPCC probe, Wiltshire Police immediately appealed for potential victims and others with information to come forward, and later reported it had received a number of calls. It has since emerged that police in Kent, Jersey, Hampshire, London, Gloucestershire and Thames Valley are also carrying out investigations linked to allegations against Sir Edward. The Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation said: "We welcome the investigation by Wiltshire Police, which we wholeheartedly believe will clear Sir Edward's name and we will co-operate fully with the police in their inquiries." Sir Edward led the 1970-1974 Conservative government and took Britain into what was then the European Economic Community. He lost his leadership of the party to Margaret Thatcher in 1975 - something he never forgave her for and he did not serve in her cabinet. Prime Minister Edi Rama said the artworks seized - reportedly more than 1,000 - could fill an entire museum. Among them were paintings, icons and murals thought to have been taken from churches and cultural centres in south-east Albania and Macedonia. Their value was estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars, Albania's Top TV reported. Welcoming the police operation, Mr Rama said the artwork had "risked joining the long list of works that have crossed the country's borders". He said it was one of the largest operations against art trafficking, but that it marked just the beginning of a campaign in which he appealed to Albanians to "redress this lamentable plight of our heritage". Experts say that Albania's Orthodox churches have been plundered of much of their art work since the fall of communism, and that the trafficking of stolen art is widespread. "[Albanian society] has forgotten that this might be our temporary house, but it remains the perennial abode of generations to come and we owe it to them to pass on the country we inherited from our ancestors," the prime minister said. State news agency ATA reported that two men aged 39 and 51 had been arrested, and that two other suspects were wanted. The Derry Journal published a special edition of the newspaper on Wednesday following his death, and followed it up with extensive coverage of Mr McGuinness' funeral in Friday's edition. The front page reflected the death and funeral of not just the former Sinn Féin leader but also of Derry City captain Ryan McBride, whose funeral also took place on Thursday. The headline: "A city in mourning". On Mr McGuinness, the paper quotes Denis Bradley - a well-know Derry man and former co-chairman of a group set up to deal with the legacy of the Troubles - who said there were always "dove-like aspects to McGuinness". "I don't think he was as hawkish as people make him out to be at times," he told the Journal. "He had, to my mind, an over-commitment to the republican movement, I realised he didn't like violence and he didn't like injury and death and destruction for the sake of it. When it could be avoided he did it." The newspaper also pays tribute to Mr McBride with a special back page. Instead of the usual sports news, the page is decorated in Derry City's red and white stripes and features the words of a poem read out by manager Kenny Shiels during the funeral of the "gentle giant". Meanwhile, the Londonderry Sentinel leads on "mixed emotions" over the death of Mr McGuinness. Inside, on page three, the headline points towards the divisive legacy Mr McGuinness has left behind. "Many struggle to come to terms with his past", it reads. On its front page, the city's DUP mayor Hilary McClintock calls him "a towering figure in Northern Ireland in general and in the city of Londonderry in particular". There would be a "diverse range of opinions" about him, she said, but he had a passion for the city and the North West. The Impartial Reporter, in Fermanagh, also focuses heavily on the funeral of Mr McGuinness, particularly the reaction of DUP leader Arlene Foster. Its print edition came out on Thursday morning, before the event, meaning the front page leads with the uncertainty over whether Mrs Foster would be present. However, its website has full coverage of the event including reaction to Mrs Foster's decision to attend. In the print edition, Denzil McDaniel, the paper's former editor, offers his own view of Martin McGuinness. "Man of war or man of peace? Well, both actually, that is the contradiction." He writes that the hurt and pain caused by the IRA and Mr McGuinness "cannot be dismissed" but adds: "I believe his transformation to peace was a real and genuine one, not a tactical one but a heartfelt desire." The Ulster Herald is another paper devoting plenty of coverage to the death of Martin McGuinness - it leads with the reveal that he visited a police officer's hospital bed following a bomb attack in 2008. The officer told the paper: "I remember him visiting and I remember thinking it was something important. I found out later that he had never visited a police officer in hospital before. "So I think I was the first. I suppose it was his way of saying that his party was supportive of policing." Elsewhere in the paper, it covers the recent publication of names of firms that benefit from subsidies under the botched RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) scheme. It has produced an interactive map showing all the claimants across County Tyrone - you can see it online. The Down Recorder lead story centres on the death of Neil Rooney, 33, from Ballyhornan, following an industrial accident at Belfast's Harbour Estate. "Father of two dies in tragic work accident," reads the headline and the report carries tributes and sympathy for the Rooney family from politicians and friends who call the loss "devastating and heart breaking". Inside, the newspaper says there is concern over a decision to close a PSNI enquiry office in Newcastle. The office will be shut in two weeks, leaving the station in Downpatrick as the only one in the district that has an office for the public. In an editorial, the Down Recorder accused the PSNI of "trying to dress up the closure as improved policing" and of "strangely claiming social media is making such offices redundant". The paper's response? "This is complete nonsense." "Along with other public services, police have been forced to retrench and what has been forced upon them represents a reduction in the service that is offered to the public. "Please tell it as it is and stop trying to kid the community that all is well." Over in the Orchard County, the Armagh Observer reports concerns about a bridge over the River Callan leading to a nature reserve at the edge of Milford village. Parents living close by are worried that it is an "accident waiting to happen," says the paper. "A hole large enough for a child to fall through has now appeared," the paper reports, adding that an issue about ownership may be the reason why the bridge has fallen into disrepair. Inside, the paper features world champion Irish dancer Joe McGeown. He may be from London but he has "no scarcity of Granemore blood in his veins", says the paper. Joe's father, Dessie, hails from there and Joe has dedicated his recent world championship award to his late aunt, Ann O'Neill from Granemore, Tassagh, who died in January. Meanwhile, an unholy row is brewing in Broughshane over a church hall, the Ballymena Guardian reports. Under the headline: "Church hall demolition plan left 'in ruins'", it says that the Magill Hall in the village has been made a listed building, thwarting plans to demolish it and replace it with a new modern hall. The hall is owned by Broughshane First Presbyterian Church and the Guardian reports that churchgoers are not best pleased - they were looking forward to an up-to-date, all mod-cons hall. DUP MLA Paul Frew, who attends the church, says it was "dirty" of the Department of Communities Historic Environment Division to list it. "This is an incredibly draconian decision," he told the paper. Remaining on matters holy, Ballymena is proud of its connection to St Patrick and 17 March is a special day. "Saint Patrick back on the throne of Slemish," reads the Guardian headline with a host of photographs from the day. Slemish was where the boy Patrick herded the sheep after he had been kidnapped and served as a slave to local chieftain Milchú. On St Patrick's Day, the paper reports that a play was performed on the slopes of Slemish, telling the story of the Irish saint. The paper says there was even a real-life Patrick treading the boards - the role of the saint was taken by a local - Patrick Connor, 17 - who lives on the slopes of Ballymena's holy mountain. He is pictured flat on his back, taking what looks like a bucket-load of grief from Chieftain Milchú.

With New Zealand 12 hours ahead, Moneypenny staff normally based in Wrexham are still working day shifts but provide late-night cover when colleagues in Wales clock off. Before opening the office in Auckland, bosses asked staff if they wanted to work nights or relocate temporarily. A trial group of four staff are due to return after flying out last November. The staff have been working four days on and four days off so they can take in the sights while living abroad, a pattern which is set to continue in four to six month stints when the next group take over. Jess Edwards, 24, from Holt, near Wrexham, says she is enjoying the experience so much in Takapuna on the east coast of New Zealand's north island that she hopes to be able to continue working there. "It is an absolutely fantastic opportunity," she said. "I am getting to see places I probably never would have the chance to see otherwise. "It's very different to the working week I am used to in the UK but this was deliberately planned so we can make the most of being here. "I have visited Australia and both the North and South Islands [of New Zealand] and generally thrown myself into the experience." Moneypenny provides a phone answering service, handling over 8m calls a year for 6,000 clients from sole traders to multinationals. And bosses said more UK customers had wanted calls handling through the night. The company is putting up the first group of workers in a rented house. It is envisaged British employees will spend over four months in New Zealand although the changeover could be altered to suit them. Rachel Clacher, who set up the company with brother Ed Reeves, had the idea to base staff overseas while on a sabbatical in Australia. Until opening the office last October she says they had "resisted" expanding the service to deal with out-of-hours calls having seen research about detrimental effects on people working nights, affecting health and attitude, which could also impact on customers. The issue was compounded when only a handful of the company's 280 staff said they wanted to work nights. But more than 40 said they were interested in mixing work between home and abroad. Now, when the Wrexham-based workers leave the office, at the "flick of a switch" at 20:00 GMT their colleagues in Auckland take over until 08:00 GMT and UK customers continue to receive the same service through the night. Ms Clacher said: "We had looked at hiring staff to work overnight but we weren't confident service levels could be maintained so would have never taken that risk. "By working on the other side of the world we're now able to offer a truly 24 hour first-rate service, with bright, chirpy and wide-awake people." In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed up 0.5% at 19,944.41. Shares in car making giant Toyota rose 1.1% despite the firm saying on Wednesday it was recalling another 1.6 million vehicles equipped with faulty air bags. The Japanese car maker has recalled nearly 15 million vehicles fitted with the bags since 2013. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index ended flat at 22,488.94, while China's Shanghai Composite index fell 0.3% to 3,635.55. Trading in the mainland market has become choppier ahead of a series of initial public offerings that will begin next week, analysts said. South Korea's Kospi index closed up 1.06% at 2,030.68. Sydney's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was up more than 1% in morning trade, helped by banking shares, but eventually closed 0.3% higher at 5,210.70. Analysts said that while other markets were trading sideways, money was rotating back into the country's banks as investors looked for income. "The big four banks are flying today," IG market strategist Chris Weston told the BBC. Shares in Commonwealth Bank of Australia - the country's biggest lender - closed up 1.5%. Westpac finished the trading day up 1.2%, while National Australia Bank and ANZ closed up about 0.4%. "When there's sideways trading in many global markets - traders want to be paid to be in a position and so we tend to see moves into the banks for yield," Mr Weston said. "There are some risks because of the housing market, which is starting to show some vulnerability, but at the moment, bank shares are the best way to pick up yield." The so-called big four lenders make up some 30% of Australia's stock market and are regarded as highly profitable. They came through the financial crisis relatively unscathed. Gatland is favourite to take on the role again after leading the Lions to victory in Australia in 2013. "We pick the best players, what's to stop us bringing the best coaches?" Wood said on BBC Radio 5 live. "If these guys worked together, it would be pretty phenomenal." While Jones has ruled himself out because of his commitments with England, Wood feels the Australian - along with the likes of Ireland coach Joe Schmidt - could be involved in a short-term capacity. He added: "Eddie Jones says he doesn't want to go on the Lions, but if he went out there for three months as an assistant, is he willing to do that? Is Joe Schmidt willing to do that?" Meanwhile Wood feels Gatland's success three years ago means he is a prime contender to again head the Lions set-up. "He's proven to be a winner with the Lions in Australia, and winning breeds winning," the former Ireland captain said. Jones' contract with the Rugby Football Union does not allow him to take time off in 2017 to prepare for the Lions tour, but former England captain Nick Easter feels there should be some room for manoeuvre. "Surely the Lions committee has to try to get the best candidate - and Jones right now is," Easter told 5 live. "Not taking anything away from Warren, but [Jones] has beaten the All Blacks before. You have two outstanding candidates there, with a third in Joe Schmidt. "Currently [I would go for] Eddie Jones," added former Lions flanker Martyn Williams. "But I think it will be Warren Gatland, who has a huge advantage because he has been on two Lions tours previously. That's Warren's huge advantage over the others." Cases have been reported of teenage girls sharing rooms with strange landlords, people sleeping on sofas in kitchens and sheds and increasing numbers are sleeping on the streets. Some Londoners are sidestepping the city's sky-high rents by living in unusual ways. BBC London hears from three of these people. Because I am from Ireland, estate agents said I would have had to find six months' rent or ask my parents to be a guarantor. I'm 27, I didn't want that. I thought why don't I do a live-in, in exchange for lodging? I looked up home share with an older person on Gumtree and found Judy, through an organisation called SweetTree. The rent I paid was in exchange for 10 hours' companionship a week, so I would either stay in the house and cook, or we would go out for a meal together, each evening from Monday to Friday. She really loves the pub - she loves rosé and to have a pudding. Judy was very independent and joyful - she didn't want to let life pass her by. It was not very easy, at the start, because you are not living with someone your own age. It took adjusting to, but if you are a strong-willed person you find your own routine in managing. I was helping an old woman, she was very grateful, and I was grateful for a cheap room. At the weekends, I would go out - she would love it if I was out late. She would support me, as well - she was quite modern in her thoughts around dating men. She made friends with the guys I was dating. It helped me save up a deposit for a place of my own - I live in Croydon now, sharing with two others. I also saved up for a masters degree in nutritional medicine. I miss living with Judy - she had such a unique sense of humour. But we are still friends, and I visit her often. I started living here in 1987, an old friend suggested it - I came very close to the start. The rest is history, so they say. We built it up from the beginning. We rent from Peter Bedford [a housing association for vulnerable adults]. We live in a very communal way and we all have our own beliefs - there are Christians and Buddhists living here. The people I live with are aged 25 to 64. We try to be an equal balance between male and female, but it doesn't always work out. We make decisions together. People who live here do very diverse things - there is a teacher, an architect, a Spanish musician, a flamenco dancer and a social entrepreneur. Once a month each person cooks for everyone else, so we have a meal together every three days. Living here, you don't have to be lonely - if like me, you haven't had a family of your own, there are always people around for companionship. If someone has some sort of crisis, which has happened from time to time, it can impact on everyone else. Sometimes we have arguments, as we are human beings. When we have a vacancy we have a lot of interest, and any people who come to live here must have a trial and we can turn people away. I first moved here as I was renting for £450 a month and I realised I could get three rooms all the size of my old bedroom for around £360 a month - which is really cheap for where I live. There are people who play in bands, civil servants, a comic book artist, a midwife and quite a few DJs who live here. But I don't know everybody. We have an office toilet with a makeshift shower and an office tea room and one bathroom per 12 people on our floor - some of the kids are so bad at cleaning up after themselves. We have a lot of passive-aggressive notes. It makes me remember university. I don't want any part of the kitchen, but I like having my own room and I have decorated it myself - I have room for my records and decks. The strip-lights and the carpet are horrible. I don't know of anyone breaking in - the combination on the front door changes. We could have to move with two weeks' notice but, if so, Camelot finds us somewhere else, and I'm not too worried about that happening now. The health secretary has ordered a review into the deaths of at least five babies at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust. A law firm says it has 27 open cases into claims that mistakes at the trust led to brain injuries at birth. The trust said the sums already paid out did not reflect current services. A medical negligence charity says the trust is an "outlier" in terms of avoidable harm and has demanded a full inquiry. 'Doctors ignored me - my girls are gone' Cluster of baby deaths probe ordered Trust 'failed to investigate baby death' Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has been the focus of intense scrutiny since the BBC revealed last month that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt had ordered a review into how the trust has investigated the deaths of babies caused by errors in labour. There have been at least seven avoidable deaths at the trust between September 2014 and May 2016. Failures to properly monitor and analyse the foetal heart rate - CTG traces - contributed to five of the deaths. But the problems with CTG monitoring at the trust go back much further, according to a document the BBC has seen. Living with a child born with brain injuries is a daily struggle for the Morris family. Beth and Olivia are identical twins born at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in 2005. Beth is a happy, healthy 11-year-old, with friends and interests common to many young girls. But a failure to promptly deliver her sister, as well as failing to spot she was in distress due to an error in properly monitoring her heart rate, means Olivia suffered a brain injury. She has cerebral palsy - she struggles to walk, cannot talk and needs to be fed through a tube as she cannot swallow. The trust has admitted liability. "Our family life is not the same as it should be," said their mother Sharon Morris. "Olivia can see Beth doing all the things that she wants to do. "Beth has friends that she goes off and does various things with. Olivia doesn't have any friends - Olivia's best friend is her sister." "She'll always live at home with us for the rest of her life. And she'll always have care for the rest of her life as well - she'll never live independently." In July 2015, Dr Adam Gornall, an obstetrician at the trust, attended a maternity networking event in Manchester organised by the NHS Litigation Authority (NHSLA), now NHS Resolution. The discussion was aimed at improving safety in maternity units in England and Dr Gornall revealed the scale of the problem the trust was facing in relation to foetal heart monitoring. He told the meeting the trust had received one compensation claim for £4.4m relating to CTG interpretation after a child had been born with cerebral palsy. Two other claims totalling nearly £150,000 were "directly related to the interpretation of CTGs" and they had received other claims "in which CTG interpretation was partially involved". The trust was given £183,000 in May 2015 by the NHSLA to improve its CTG performance. Dr Gornall told the meeting the money would be spent on new CTG equipment, a different approach to monitoring, e-learning, improved trained and changing behaviour. However, in the five months following the July 2015 meeting, the BBC has learned that CTG errors at birth contributed to the deaths of three babies - one was still-born, one died within days, and a third died aged just four months. An analysis the BBC has done of NHSLA figures shows in the past decade the trust has paid out nearly £25m in compensation and legal fees for maternity errors, when regulators told the trust to improve, with payments made for brain injuries being the single largest category. Brain injuries at birth can occur for a number of reasons, including a failure to ensure oxygen gets to the baby's brain or a physical injury to the child's head - for instance the incorrect use of forceps during delivery. Figures provided to the BBC by medical negligence lawyers Lanyon Bowdler in Shrewsbury show they have 27 open investigations into allegations of brain injuries caused to babies at birth as a result of mistakes at the Shrewsbury and Telford trust since 2005. Solicitor Beth Harrison said the number of families coming forward alleging errors is increasing, with 15 cases being opened in the past three years. "We've seen a real increase in the number of people approaching us and cases that we've taken on. I think it's down to deterioration in the service and the standard of care. And people are also more aware that they can bring claims when things go wrong. "Repeatedly we are seeing the same errors - failures in relation to heart trace monitoring and realising the baby is in distress, delays in taking women for an emergency caesarean and issues with the wrong use of forceps." The firm says since the recent BBC reports, nine new families have contacted them alleging errors in labour at the trust - four say their child died, four say their child was born with a brain injury, while one is alleging the trust caused the death of a mother. Compensation for brain injuries can run into millions of pounds due to the ongoing, sometimes lifetime needs of the victims. The Shrewsbury and Telford trust's maternity department has paid out £24.3 million in compensation and legal fees since 2007, according to official NHS figures. The money relates to at least 34 settled claims, including 14 brain injuries, eight for deaths of babies, one mother's death and 11 other mistakes, including babies born with physical injuries due to errors in labour. The trust points out that it can take 'many years for claims to be brought and resolved' after the incidents occur. The total compensation figure is among the highest paid out by comparable obstetrics units - based on the number of deliveries and type of unit as categorised by researchers at the official MBRRACE-UK study into perinatal deaths - over the past decade. Taken alongside the number of avoidable deaths at the trust, the charity Action against Medical Accidents (AVMA) has added to calls for a much wider inquiry into the trust. "These figures are very worrying," the charity's chief executive Peter Walsh said. "It seems to me there should be a fully independent and in-depth investigation into what has been going on and the root causes of the lapses in patient safety that have been causing such terrible harm. "What has been arranged so far is nowhere near enough. The new Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch should be called in to get to the bottom of the problems at this trust." In a statement, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said it would not comment in detail in case it prejudiced the ongoing review into maternity services. However, the trust said: "Claims can be and frequently are brought and resolved many years after incidents occur. "Taking this into account, along with the further period taken up by the litigation process itself, which can last a number of years, the sums paid out in recent years offer little insight into the maternity services provided by the Trust since 2007. "Since 2007, NHS Resolution has received 50 claims for compensation relating to maternity on behalf of the Trust. "However, the majority of these claims are in connection with incidents which happened before 2007. "Of these 50 claims, only one claim for brain injury occurred after 2007." Sign-up to get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Fans expressed dismay after a message on Tenacious D's Twitter page claimed Black had died at the age of 46. Subsequent messages, however, appeared to suggest the group's account had been hacked. This was later confirmed by Tenacious D themselves, who called the hacking a "sick 'prank'". "WE had our Twitter account hacked," the band tweeted on Sunday afternoon. "We can assure you that Jack is ALIVE and WELL." John Konesky, a guitar player with Tenacious D, also confirmed the tweets were the result of hacking. Neither Black not his band's US and UK representatives have made a statement, but fans had been quick to rubbish the alleged claims. One Twitter user said Black was on a plane headed to Los Angeles following his appearance with bandmate Kyle Glass at two music festivals in Germany. It is not the first time Black, whose films include the Kung Fu Panda trilogy and School of Rock, has been the victim of an online hoax. One in 2012 claimed he had fallen off a cliff in New Zealand, while another in 2014 alleged he had died after a stroke. Defenders Danny Rose (knee), Jan Vertonghen (ankle) and Toby Alderweireld (hamstring) and forward Erik Lamela (hip) are also out. Wycombe, fifth in League Two, are without midfielder Matt Bloomfield and forward Dayle Southwell. Defender Michael Harriman is back in contention, having not played since Boxing Day with a groin injury. Tottenham face Sunderland in the Premier League on Tuesday and boss Mauricio Pochettino said: "Toby, Danny and Kane are out. We don't want to take any risks but they'll hopefully be available for Tuesday. "I think Saturday is not a moment to take a risk and Harry was training in Barcelona [during a mid-season training camp] next to the group. But we hope that for Tuesday it is not a problem and he will be available." Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth said: "There's no pressure on us. It'll be a brilliant day for Wycombe Wanderers. "We want to give a good account of ourselves so we'll give our best and see what happens. We know we can cause them problems. If it takes Tottenham Hotspur to end our unbeaten run then that says something, but I'm hoping we can keep this run going. "There are fairytales and upsets in this competition. If Spurs aren't at their best then we have a chance. We believe in ourselves." The IFI described the adverts as "a rich treasure trove of national memory and cultural artefacts". The project, which involved the preservation and digitisation of the adverts, took 18 months to complete at a cost of 362,000 Euro (£307,000). Over 200 adverts are available to view on the institute's website. The collection, numbering nearly 8,000 rolls of film, had suffered physical deterioration and contracted a mould infestation after been held in damp warehouses for decades before being transferred to the IFI's archive in the mid-1990s. The IFI's archive team "salvaged this material, through a combination of painstaking processes including frame-by-frame assessment, extensive physical and chemical conservation, followed by scanning and digital restoration". IFI director Ross Keane said: "This project has been a huge undertaking for the organisation, and we are particularly pleased to be able to share the results with the public through our new IFI Player." Michael O'Keeffe, CEO of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI), which supported the project financially, added: "The preservation aspects of the project, together with the historical and cultural value of the advertising material, are commendable. "It epitomises the aims of the BAI's archiving scheme by contributing to the preservation of Ireland's broadcasting heritage, and record of Irish culture.' A Department for Transport consultation proposes increasing both penalty points and fines for offenders, which it says is the government's "preferred option". Launched on Tuesday, it cites research suggesting 9% of motorists regularly take "selfies" when behind the wheel. The consultation will look at whether technology could put motorists' phones into a "drive-safe mode" automatically. "These proposals ultimately aim to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the roads," says the government. The measures relate directly to England and Wales but the document notes that its impact may apply in Scotland. Under proposals being considered, the number of penalty points given to a motorist using their phone while driving could rise from three to four. Drivers of Heavy Goods Vehicles could be handed up to six points on their licence. The offence would also carry a fine of up to £150 - a 50% increase on the current financial penalty. The document makes clear that increasing both fines and penalty points is the government's "preferred option". But it admits that a previous increase in the fine in 2013 - which took it from £60 to £100 - had "no statistically significant change to the number of drivers observed using a hand-held mobile phone from 2009-2014". First time offenders could continue to be offered the chance to attend police safety courses to avoid an endorsement on their licence. The government's consultation cites research from the Institute of Advanced Motorists, which suggested that 9% of drivers regularly take "selfies" while driving. Its director of policy and research, Neil Greig, said: "For many, smartphone use has become an addiction that we can only start to cure through some form of therapy. "The IAM does not object to tougher penalties but we do believe that the real deterrent is fear of being caught. That fear can only be increased by increasing the numbers of traffic police on our roads." The consultation closes on 15 March 2016. Media playback is not supported on this device In their first game since coming third at the World Cup, the Lionesses picked up where they left off in Canada, thrashing the Group Seven outsiders. Arsenal forward Carter opened the scoring in the second minute, with Jo Potter doubling the lead minutes later following good work from Jess Clarke. Fran Kirby netted twice, either side of Jill Scott's side-footed effort and Isobel Christiansen's impressive strike from 25 yards out. Carter then added another two goals late on to wrap up an impressive win for England. With a number of players rested and others, such as Lucy Bronze and Toni Duggan, injured, this was a relatively new-look England squad, with only 11 members of the World Cup party making the trip to Estonia. Captain Steph Houghton and Potter were the only players who started in the bronze-medal match against Germany to make the starting XI, but the new and recalled players did not disappoint. Debuts for Carter and Christiansen paid off, with the pair scoring four goals between them against an Estonia side ranked 77th in the world - the lowest of the five teams in Group Seven. Clarke also produced a fine display of forward play, switching between the flanks with ease and creating several goals in the process. England finished the World Cup full of confidence and they brought plenty of that belief in to this game, which bodes well for the rest of the qualifying campaign. Judging by this performance, making the 2017 tournament in the Netherlands should be routine for England. With Estonia ranked 72 places below them in the Fifa rankings, it was always unlikely that England would struggle against the Baltic country but their display of power and attacking threat showed why they are strong favourites to top a group which also features Serbia, Belgium and Bosnia-Herzegovina. For manager Mark Sampson, the nature of his side's dominance provides plenty of positive selection dilemmas, with so many other proven players who did not feature in Estonia available to him. Their next qualifier is against 71st-ranked Bosnia-Herzegovina on 29 November, so England - the third-highest ranked European team in the world behind Germany and France - will expect to have a maximum six points from their two matches heading into a six-month break between competitive fixtures. England manager Mark Sampson: "We produced a good performance, we were balanced and controlled and we scored some good goals. "It's always hard after a tournament to move away from those hangovers and we brought in some new faces to bring in some enthusiasm. "You have to focus on the short term and getting three points, which we did, but we want to make sure that come June 2017 we're still going to be competitive." Danielle Carter, scorer of a debut hat-trick: "I couldn't have dreamt of a better ending to that game on my first cap. "It's just unbelievable - I can't put into words what it felt like. "I'm definitely going home with the match ball. I'm going to get it signed and framed." Former Leeds forward Lucy Ward: "This is an evolving team and new players have been introduced. That team selection has been justified. People shouldn't be guaranteed a place in the England team and that is the case now. Estonia are 20 years behind where England are. They had structure but they just didn't have the quality England had." England have a chance to repeat the most impressive result in their history - the extra-time win over Germany in the third-place play-off at the World Cup - when they travel to Duisburg for a friendly on 26 November. That match comes three days before that next Euro qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina at Ashton Gate.

Attendance: 1,342 The Belfast Telegraph's exclusive about a boy who battled a brain condition, and was injured in a petrol bomb attack in Newtownabbey dominates its front page. Speaking to the paper, the boy's mother, Danielle Thompson, explains his surgery scars were scorched by flames when the family were trying to flee their home. She says the fire caught four-year-old Cruz's head, causing scars from one of three life-saving operations to erupt in blisters. The Irish News goes big on a claim that five Orange Halls have been awarded grants under a controversial Stormont scheme after applying as cultural, educational or historical societies. The paper attributes the details to the Department for Communities and says details provided by them show a pledge of £104,000 for upgrades to the halls. The scheme has been criticised by nationalists after it emerged that dozens of loyal order and band halls were offered grants of up to £25,000. Last week, the Irish News reported the department had also promised £25,000 to the County Antrim based Randalstown Ulster Scots Cultural Society, but the address given for the group, Number 10 Portglenone Road, Randalstown, was not listed on Royal Mail's "postal address file". Inside, the Irish News carries a story about a County Tyrone boy who is fighting life-threatening epilepsy in the United States. It reports Billy Caldwell, 11, is recovering after being placed in an induced coma in Los Angeles. Cannabis oil - an illegal form of treatment in the UK - is being used by medical professionals to help lessen Billy's symptoms, the paper reports. The Irish News also dedicates a double-page spread to reaction to President Trump's travel ban, detailing demonstrations held across the UK on Monday. It reports growing pressure on Theresa May to say whether she was aware of Donald Trump's plans during her American visit. The News Letter reports that a prosecution decision on a man whose palm print was allegedly found on a getaway vehicle used in the Kingsmills massacre is set to be announced within two weeks. It says the Public Prosecution Service had written to Coroner Brian Sherrard to inform him that a decision on whether a case will be taken against the suspect is imminent. The already long-delayed inquest into the murders of 10 Protestant workmen killed in rural south Armagh in 1976 was again put on hold last year with the dramatic announcement that detectives had apparently matched the palm print to an individual. The visitors scored 595 in the first innings but were bowled out cheaply in the second before New Zealand chased down a 217-run target to win. It meant Bangladesh broke a 123-year record for the highest total made by a losing side in a Test. An unbeaten century from captain Kane Williamson and 60 from Ross Taylor led New Zealand to a seven-wicket victory. Bangladesh had earlier been bowled out for 160-9 - captain Mushfiqur Rahim was taken to hospital for checks after being struck on the head by a bouncer and retired hurt. Mushfiqur, who hit 159 in the first innings, had scored 13 in the second innings when he was hit on the helmet by a Tim Southee delivery. New Zealand lost both openers before Williamson and Taylor's third-wicket stand of 163 secured victory. "To bounce back and achieve that was brilliant," Williamson said. Mushfiqur, who confirmed he was fine after being struck on the helmet, added: "Probably we let ourselves down in the bowling department." Australia previously held the record for the highest first-innings total by a losing side, with 586 against England in Sydney in 1894 before being beaten by 10 runs. Mashrou' Leila was told earlier this week that it could not perform in Amman on Friday evening because its songs "contradicted" religious beliefs. But late on Thursday, Amman's governor said authorities no longer objected. Mashrou' Leila welcomed the decision, but complained that it had been told too late for the concert to take place. The ban had sparked criticism of Jordan, one of the region's most liberal countries. In a post on their Facebook page, the five members of Mashrou' Leila said they wanted to thank artists, musicians, intellectuals and civil society activists from Jordan and elsewhere for "standing with us". They said had been "shocked" when Jordanian interior ministry officials and religious figures stated that their music contradicted Islam, Christianity, and the values of Jordanian society. "What we see here is superficial cultural criticism, simple, reductive, and basing itself on the extraction of certain words from their structural context within their songs, and then from their figurative framework as metaphors," they added. "The critic then offers a simplistic analysis of the song, stripping the writer from his freedom to use metaphor within the texts, to conclude that the writer is a satanist." The band members said they wanted to "congratulate" Amman governor Khalid Abu Zeid on sending them a letter of approval from the interior ministry, but regretted it came "too late" for the concert to go ahead. Tarik Hassane, 22, sent his friends a photograph of himself holding a handgun and a book about Osama Bin Laden, his trial at the Old Bailey was told. After his arrest in 2014, he denied he supported so-called Islamic State. Mr Hassane and three co-defendants, all from west London, deny conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts. In a handwritten statement, Mr Hassane told police officers "any foolish posing on my part was just that and not in any way criminal". The jury was also shown photographs of Mr Hassane and his three co-defendants Nathan Cuffy, 26, Nyall Hamlett, 25, and Suhaib Majeed, 21, being followed during a five-week surveillance operation. Prosecutors claim the images show how a Russian-made pistol, silencer and bullets were passed between some of the accused men and were later thrown out of a bedroom window when police moved in to make arrests. The court has heard how Mr Hassane - who is accused of pledging his allegiance to IS during his time studying in Sudan - is said to have carried out online reconnaissance of targets at Shepherd's Bush police station and the Parachute Regiment Territorial Army Barracks at White City. In social media chats with his friend Mr Majeed, Mr Hassane used coded language, telling the physics undergraduate to get a gun and an untraceable moped for an attack, prosecutors claim. The jury was shown photographs taken by surveillance officers in early September 2014 in which it is claimed Mr Majeed can be seen on his laptop in Regent's Park carrying out secret online conversations. Photographs taken on 23 September are alleged to show how the men acquired a firearm for the attack. Two of the accused men - Mr Cuffy and Mr Hamlett - can be seen shaking hands in the street. Mr Cuffy has admitted transferring a prohibited firearm but denies conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts. The surveillance shots show that an hour later Mr Hamlett met Mr Majeed when, according to the prosecution, he passed the weapon on to him. The following day officers raided Mr Majeed's flat where they saw the Baikal pistol, the silencer and the ammunition being thrown out of an upstairs bedroom window. In a statement, Mr Majeed told police he did not agree with a religious ruling or fatwa issued by IS calling for attacks on civilians in the West. He said: "I believe these views are against the teachings of Islam." Mr Hassane was arrested after returning to London from Sudan the following month. He told police "I am in total disagreement with Isis [another name for IS]... I have been involved in no terrorist activity anywhere." He said the coded conversations on social media were about buying trainers, not guns. The trial continues. The 46-year-old walked into a team and a Football Association in turmoil following the hasty departure of predecessor Sam Allardyce after just 67 days, one game and conduct regarded as unbecoming for his position. Southgate was never going to apply a quick fix, and how it showed as England leaned heavily on the brilliance of goalkeeper Joe Hart and large slices of luck to scrape a 0-0 draw in the World Cup 2018 qualifier in Ljubljana. Media playback is not supported on this device The FA will not consider the next step in its succession plan until after England's next qualifier against Scotland at Wembley on 11 November and the home friendly against Spain four days later. This gives Southgate the opportunity to get the big result he needs so momentum can gather in his favour after two colourless, largely disappointing displays in the 2-0 home win over Malta and the draw in Slovenia. Southgate - highly regarded within the FA for his work with England Under-21s - has looked and sounded the part. If the FA was searching for someone to restore dignity after the turbulence surrounding Allardyce's departure, he is the perfect fit. The former England defender has been impressive in all aspects off the pitch since taking interim charge. He has handled himself in the calm, assured manner for which he is known. He took the ruthless decision to drop captain Wayne Rooney, a player he figured alongside for England and someone he spoke glowingly about before leaving him on the sidelines in Slovenia. And he was also impressive as he sat alongside Rooney in Ljubljana after making that landmark decision the night before the game, dealing with the inevitable inquest with a mixture of sensitivity and authority. In this part of the equation he secures full marks - where work still needs to be done is in the more important area of performances and results. The Malta victory was job done, albeit in an attritional manner against a team intent on avoiding a thrashing, while Slovenia was more a case of 'welcome to the real world' as England struggled to find any rhythm or purpose against a team ranked 67th in the world alongside Burkina Faso. Southgate - who has made it clear he wants the job full-time, after suggesting in September he was not ready - joked he was heading off for a long sleep. But he will soon be looking ahead to these next two games - and the increasing likelihood that the meeting with Scotland, on the skids after a 3-0 loss in Slovakia, will be pivotal to his chances of succeeding Allardyce permanently. One phrase stuck out a mile in Southgate's post-match analysis, as he said he has "inherited a mess". Did he? Should England fans actually expect no more than they have seen in two performances lacking in spark and inspiration against Malta and Slovenia? Southgate is correct to suggest he was parachuted into turmoil after Allardyce's hasty departure for non-footballing misdemeanours. The whole matter hit the FA like a thunderbolt, although it deserves credit for dealing with it promptly and decisively. And no-one can seriously suggest he took over an England side in full bloom after the humiliation and shock of the exit at the hands of minnows Iceland in the last 16 of Euro 2016, a result that was a national embarrassment and prompted the instant resignation of manager Roy Hodgson. The brave new era under Allardyce was hardly ushered in with a blaze of glory either as England only defeated 10-man Slovakia with a 95th-minute goal from Adam Lallana. There has to be a realism about what Southgate has walked into. He is in charge of a side that was made grimly aware of its place in the world order in France - and he played no part in that. Southgate did, however, have two eminently winnable matches to start with and, while four points keeps them top of Group F, the draw in Slovenia was the first qualifier of any kind England have not won in three years, halting a run of 14 successive victories. He also has a squad that has talent, certainly enough to be producing better than what was on offer on Tuesday. So yes, to a degree Southgate is correct to suggest he inherited a mess - but equally England have also been sorely lacking in fresh inspiration. Southgate has plenty of factors in his favour - not least a shortage of alternative candidates beating a path to the FA's door. He is the man in possession, the man with the chance to produce the results to make the job his. He will, though, have to produce better than has been seen so far and will need to nail down the second part of this four-game trial run against Scotland and Spain. The FA will make their next move then, which again emphasises the importance of the forthcoming games for Southgate. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger would surely be high on any FA wish list but his future is, as yet, imponderable. He is out of contract with the Gunners at the end of the season but a new contract is on the table at Emirates Stadium and there is no guarantee a long game of patience by the FA will be rewarded. Steve Bruce was interviewed in the summer but he is the new Aston Villa manager, which leaves Bournemouth's Eddie Howe as the other main contender. The England job is still Southgate's to lose - but he needs at least one big result to score the win. England's old problems were in evidence again in Slovenia. Possession was conceded carelessly, almost fatally in the case of Eric Dier and fellow midfielder Jordan Henderson when they played blind backpasses to Josip Ilicic. Too often the back and front of the team seemed unrelated to each other, England were short of ideas and there was a grim echo of the Euros and Iceland in both halves when they were gripped by a sense of panic under pressure. It was only thanks to the magnificent Joe Hart that they escaped, and there was little of the bravery that was Southgate's mantra for this latest England incarnation. Winger Theo Walcott, such an enigma, was disappointing once more and substituted, while striker Daniel Sturridge also went into his shell and it was no surprise when he was taken off. Southgate must now seriously study how he can get the fearlessness and pace of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford into the team and it will be intriguing to see how he answers the Rooney question when it comes around again against Scotland. He has to be given time - two games is a managerial career in its infancy - and it is unfair to expect Southgate to start providing every answer in such a short space of time. England drew a game they could easily have lost. They stay undefeated and top of their group with a respectable haul of seven points from their first three games, with a remaining programme that hardly looks taxing. On the pitch, goalkeeper Hart looked more like the man who was world-class for so long, not the agitated, nervous figure who made such high-profile errors against Wales and Iceland at Euro 2016. Hart looked much calmer, moving around his team-mates near the halfway line and offering advice during a break in second-half play - and advancing out of goal to keep Jesse Lingard out of trouble in the dying seconds. And in John Stones, Southgate has a rapidly maturing central defender he can start to build England around. For perspective, England are doing just as well as France and Sweden in their group and better than the Netherlands and Euro 2016 winners Portugal. Spain also have seven points from their opening three games. Small crumbs of comfort those - but Southgate will take them after a trying 90 minutes in Ljubljana.

Scientists have long been experimenting with the 3D printing of cells and blood vessels, building up tissue structure layer by layer with artificial cells. But the synthetically engineered cells often die before the tissue is formed. The technology, in which a 3D printer uses sugar as its building material, could one day be used for transplants. The study appears in the journal Nature Materials. Dr Jordan Miller from the lab of the lead scientist, Dr Christopher Chen, at the University of Pennsylvania, told BBC News: "The big challenge in understanding how to grow large artificial tissue is how to keep all the cells alive in these engineered tissues, because when you put a lot of cells together, they end up taking nutrients and oxygen from neighbouring cells and end up suffocating and dying." The body's cardiovascular system - blood vessels - solves this issue with natural cells and tissues. So a group of scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) decided to build a synthetic vascular system that would serve the same purpose - by creating a place where the future artificial blood vessels would be located. Dr Miller's colleague Prof Sangeeta Bhatia, from MIT, said that the technique was similar to creating the shape of a vase in wax, surrounding it with molten metal and then melting the wax away. But instead of wax, the team used sugar. "So far, it's been difficult to make organs big enough so that they could provide useful function - and if you implant any tissue thicker than about a millimetre, we can't provide it enough nutrients without also engineering blood vessels into the tissue," said Prof Bhatia. "We created a network of places that we wish vessels to grow into, so they would become piping into the tissue, and we printed those in 3D out of sugar. "Sugar is a very nice material that can be dissolved away in the presence of living tissue, it's very friendly to biological tissue. "We then surrounded the network with the cells that we would like to be fed by the blood vessels when the tissue is implanted - and once we have this structure of pipes-to-be and tissue, we dissolve away the sugar using water." Although the researches did not do any implantation, they said they had wanted to demonstrate that it was possible to build the thicker tissue that could be fed by this network of pipes - and this way, to create a full organ in future. "We showed that you can use a 3D printer to print an arbitrary network of vessels for any tissue shape or any network of blood vessels, and then surround them with cells that you would like to create the organ out of," said Prof Bhatia. "We tried to make a liver, so we surrounded them with liver cells, but one could do it with any other tissue." Prof Martin Birchall, a surgeon scientist at University College London, said the research answered "a lot of fundamental problems in tissue engineering." "The idea of 3D printing has been around for several years, and certainly it is possible to print virtually anything," he said. "You can use biomaterials, cells or a combination these, and this group of scientists has correctly identified that the sticking point in all this is going to be vascularity - blood vessels - making sure that you've got sufficient nutrients going in and waste coming out of something that otherwise is going to be a solid block of stuff. "And if you're going to build something like a kidney, you're going to need that. "I'm fascinated by their proposals, they're quite a way from clinic yet, the next step is going to be testing it on animals, but it is certainly very exciting." In My Mother and Other Strangers, the peace of a small Tyrone parish is disturbed when an American airbase opens nearby. The five-part series is set in the forties and was written by well-known musician and screenwriter Barry Devlin. "It's like a big spaceship floating into this rural place," he said. "It's set in a parish called Moybeg, which might or might not be something to do with a real parish called Ardboe. "In 1942 this enormous airbase was dropped right into the middle of it, which let all of these exotic creatures with ray-bans and proper uniforms out into the parish." The series stars Hattie Morahan as Rose Coyne and Owen McDonnell as her husband Michael. However, Hattie falls in love with the American Captain Ronald Dreyfuss, played by Aaron Staton, best known for his role as Ken Cosgrove in Mad Men. According to Staton, playing Dreyfuss meant learning more about his own grandfather, who fought in the battle of the Bulge in 1944. "I've always been very proud of his service and it made me think about my grandfather although his experience was probably very different," he said. "But it certainly made me wonder about what he saw. "This actually happened, these bases in Northern Ireland. "You've got these kids who've left home to possibly go off and die, and they're coming and disturbing what was a peaceful community. "They feel at times entitled to a bit of fun as part of their service, but it's disrupting what would have been a quiet parish. "It's my character's position to try to help these two worlds understand one another." The character Rose is English, although she has lived in Moybeg for nearly two decades since marrying Michael. According to Barry Devlin, that means she also has to confront different attitudes to the war and the Americans from some of the other villagers. "There's a certain amount of resistance to the Americans coming in," he said. "Some of that is just the kind of envy young men who don't have much money feel for young men who do. "That's a kind of a volatile and potent mix." Devlin has previous written episodes of hit series like The Darling Buds of May and Ballykissangel. Did he have to change elements of Northern Irish life for a UK audience? "It is a universal story but it's also very unique and is about a particular place," he said. "I'm hoping that people will become part of Moybeg rather than Moybeg trying to simplify itself. "I've slightly modified the language, but the quirks and uniqueness of a parish is something I've celebrated." The BBC Northern Ireland production was filmed in early 2016, in locations around Strangford Lough. For Aaron Staton it meant some time to enjoy Northern Ireland with his family when he was not working. "I think it's maybe the most beautiful place that we've ever seen," he said. "We went up to the Giant's Causeway and we drove down the coast. "The people were refreshingly sweet and direct too." 'My Mother and Other Strangers' begins on Sunday 13 November at 21:00 GMT on BBC One Thousands, dressed in black, waited to enter to sign a book of condolences at the palace in central Bangkok. Free buses were laid on to transport mourners from rural areas. A regent will stand in until the late king's son, Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, accedes to the throne. Prince Vajiralongkorn has asked for a delay while he grieves for his father, who at 88 was the world's longest-reigning monarch. Speaking on state television late on Friday, Deputy PM Wissanu Krea-ngam said the head of Thailand's privy council - currently former Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda - would be regent. "The situation will not be used for long," Mr Wissanu said. The crown prince and Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn were among those who paid their respects at the palace. On Friday, the king's body was transported in a convoy to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the Grand Palace from the hospital where he died. Cremation is not expected for several months. Large crowds of mourners lined the streets, many weeping, as the convoy passed. Millions more watched on TV. Flags are to fly at half-mast for the next 30 days and official mourning will last a year. People have been asked to wear black, and avoid "joyful events" during this period. King Bhumibol earned the devotion of Thais for his efforts to help the rural poor and was also seen as a stabilising figure in a country often wracked by political turmoil. Thailand remains under military rule following a coup in 2014. But critics argued he had endorsed military takeovers and sometimes failed to speak out against human rights abuses. The crown prince, who is 64, spends much of his time overseas and is much less well known to Thais.

Public discussion of the succession can be punishable by lengthy jail terms. A 10-month inquiry found ex-mayor Peter Jaconelli and Savile would have been likely to face prosecution if they were alive today. Savile had a home in the seaside resort and Jaconelli ran an ice cream firm. The force's internal inquiry found "no evidence of misconduct" by officers. North Yorkshire Police began its Operation Hibiscus investigation into historical abuse allegations after a BBC Inside Out report earlier this year which prompted 35 people to come forward. Police said 32 of the cases related to allegations against Jaconelli between 1958 and 1998 and five related to behaviour by Savile between 1979 and 1988, with two people claiming they were abused by both men. Savile, a Radio 1 DJ who also presented the BBC's Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It, died aged 84 in October 2011 - a year before allegations that he had sexually abused children were broadcast in an ITV documentary. Jaconelli was mayor of Scarborough in the 1970s and died in 1999. He was stripped of his civic honours by the town council in May after the child sex abuse allegations came to light. North Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy said: "The findings of Operation Hibiscus clearly suggest that there would have been sufficient evidence from 35 individual victims for the Crown Prosecution Service to consider criminal charges against Peter Jaconelli and Jimmy Savile, had they been alive today. "The available information indicates that, historically, the police missed opportunities to look into allegations against these men whilst they were still alive. "North Yorkshire Police apologises to the victims who made the brave decision to come forward during the past 18 months." But the force said it had not been possible to pursue lines of inquiry that would have involved interviews with Savile and Jaconelli, during which they may have disputed allegations against them. The allegations against Jaconelli included indecent assault, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, gross indecency and rape. Accusations against Savile ranged from sexual assault (or indecent assault under current law) to rape, police said. Relatives of the former mayor have said they were not aware of any evidence that he committed any sexual crimes. The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), conducted an investigation into North Yorkshire Police's handling of the historical allegations against Savile and Jaconelli after the force made a voluntary referral in April 2014. It related to how the force responded in 2012 to information about alleged offences committed by Savile in the 1970s, and to allegations made against Jaconelli nine years after his death. Mr Kennedy said: "A comprehensive investigation into these matters has now been completed by the Professional Standards Department. "It concluded that there was no evidence of misconduct but there was evidence of organisational failure, with a number of lessons to be learned which have now been rectified for the future. "This included actions such as clearly defining search parameters when checking historical records and ensuring that the appropriate department conducts such searches. "Furthermore all operational meetings must be recorded, ensuring a full audit trail of decision-making throughout the process for openness and transparency." Far more solar panels can be seen on homes and businesses now than a year ago, as companies and individual investors were attracted by the rate paid for solar energy converted into electricity. The feed-in tariff was established before the last general election, and the current UK coalition government continued it. But now it is halving the rate paid for small scale solar energy from 43.3p per kWh, to 21p per kWh. Larger scale solar parks - under and above 50kW - were paid a different, less favourable rate. Companies attracted by the 25-year guarantee saw it as a better investment than simply banking spare cash, and also as a way to offset increasing energy bills by selling green energy to the national grid. Many companies will be affected after the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced the tariff changes, which come into force on Monday - and BBC Wales has spoken to two of them. Andrew Padmore, chief executive of Egnida, a Cwmbran-based green energy company, said: "The timing is very difficult and I think to take all the confidence away from the industry at this time and particularly from the small and medium sized enterprises, of which we have a large amount in Wales. "Politically this is a difficult one because the industry has been crying for a reduction in subsidies for about six months, there's no disagreement there. "But the way things are handled, and the timings, really do have the impact of making the industry struggle when it's a time when we should be trying to create jobs." Filsol Solar Ltd specialises in solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and solar water heating. The company has been based at Ponthenri Industrial Estate in Carmarthenshire for around 30 years, but now faces losing a sizeable chunk of its 22 staff. "For our business, the biggest blow was the immediate loss of £2m of turnover," said managing director John Blower. "The speed and depth of the cuts really kicks the legs away from businesses like ours and have left us with very little time to work this through. "It's likely the changes in the size of the business will have to be fairly significant - perhaps 25% of the workforce we will have to look at losing." Mr Padmore uses Egnida's website to criticise the UK government's handling of the consultation and says legal action is now in progress. "It appears that most of the country has now joined in with sending a message to Cameron that the government's behaviour is completely unacceptable," the website says. It adds that "strong representations have been made by companies .... as well as Friends of the Earth, the Town and Country Planning Association, The Federation of Small Businesses and a collection of Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat council leaders". The Conservative-Liberal Democrat government has argued it inherited the feed-in tariff system from Labour. It argues there are still incentives for individuals and companies to use solar panels - and be guaranteed a good return for 25 years. The minister in charge of energy, Charles Hendry MP, said: "I think what we have done is to put right a bad system. This was based initially on a presumed right of return of 5%. "Because the last of the technology has come down so much, people are getting a rate of return on the investment of over 10%, tax free for 25 years, put on everyone else's electricity bills. "That's simply unaffordable." Possibly, huge new solar farms - similar to Rhosygilwen in Pembrokeshire or the 5MW solar site at Llancayo near Usk - are less likely in future as both were opened before any changes to the commercial tariff last August. But some companies are still interested in smaller sized solar parks of between 40 and a 100 solar panels, powering 30, 40 or 50kW of electricity. And such has been the rush to complete deals before the deadline, several solar parks have been completed without planning consent. These businesses will need to apply for retrospective approval. Eifion Bowen, the Welsh Local Government Association consultant on planning, said: "There is a risk, if companies carried out development without planning permission. "There is a provision for retrospective applications but it could be turned down, and each local authority will look at each case on its own merit... and balance the policies that support renewable energy against any impacts on sensitive landscapes." Two weeks before Christmas, there is an all-out effort of companies such as Egnida and Filsol to supply and fit solar panels before the tariff changes. They now have to plan for a less certain future. Egnida says up to 50 apprentices will not be taken on, while Filsol says it will have to lose between five and 10 people and will no longer recruit 10 staff. The Renewable Energy Association says the biggest impact of the change will be on employment, with an estimated 11,000 and 29,000 jobs either at risk or likely to be lost across Britain. The three films are inspired by a fictional textbook written by a wizard called Newt Scamander who wrote about his adventures with various mythical creatures years before Harry set foot on the Hogwarts Express. Fantastic Beasts is set for a 2016 release, and will be followed by two more films in 2018 and 2020. Warner Bros also announced a series of superhero films to be released in the next few years too. Wonder Woman, played by actress Gal Gadot, is set to get her own film in 2017 too. As well as starring in 2016's Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck will also take on the role of Batman in Justice League Part One - which is scheduled for the following year. The sequel, imaginatively named Justice League Part Two, is slated for 2019 with Henry Cavill and Amy Adams returning as Superman and Lois Lane for the films. Lego Batman, voiced by Will Arnett in The Lego Movie, takes the lead in The Lego Batman Movie in 2017 and will return in The Lego Movie 2 which is set for 2018. The Lego franchise will also include Ninjago in 2016. More than 200,000 people are estimated to have attended the Durham City event, the most since the 1960s. There was an increased police presence including armed officers although Durham Police said there was no direct threat against the gala. Mr Corbyn called the event "Europe's biggest demonstration of working class culture". It is the second year in a row that he has spoken at the gala. Film director Ken Loach also addressed the crowd. Mr Corbyn told crowds: "It's incredibly important for everyone to be here today. It is the most amazing demonstration of community strength. "It's grown out of the struggles of the miners during the 19th, 20th and now in this century, it's a community event." He thanked those who supported Labour's general election campaign and said he was leading a "government in waiting". He pledged to "call time on austerity" and scrap a cap on public sector pay rises as well introduce a national living wage of £10 an hour. Mr Corbyn added: "I don't want to live in a Britain of food banks, I want to live in a Britain where people are properly fed because they are paid the wages to be able to afford the food." He drew boos from the crowd when he mentioned Margaret Thatcher, adding: "Never again must we go through a political attack on a community such as that Thatcher mounted against the mining community." Mr Corbyn was almost finished when there was a disturbance on the stage and he was interrupted by a woman. She appeared to be pleading with the Labour leader to speak to her and he said he would talk to her after he had finished his address. There were chants of "Ooh Jeremy Corbyn" from the crowd throughout the afternoon and he was cheered loudly when he finished, holding his arms aloft. Alan Cummings, secretary of Durham Miners' Association, said he had been predicting crowds of 200,000 people and "looking around it looks like we have got that". He said it was a celebration of the area's history and heritage. He also downplayed allegations that some Labour MPs who had previously criticised Mr Corbyn had been banned from attending the official functions. Mr Cummings said: "That's not really true. Durham Miners have got virtually no income, we've had to look at the costs of our hospitality. "It's not we don't like [those not invited], it's purely down to we have got to have a restriction on the money we spend." Mr Corbyn refused to be drawn on the issue of some local MPs being disinvited. They took part in Byte Night, the UK's largest sleep-out, to help prevent and raise money for youth homelessness. Sleep-outs took place in 10 UK cities, and for the first time in Cardiff. The number of rough sleepers in the capital increased by 83% between 2014-15 and 2015-16, according to Welsh homelessness charity the Wallich. It is hoped the Byte Night event will raise £1.2m for Action for Children's youth services. KPMG, Admiral, BT, Acorn and Barclays were among the businesses taking part. David Sadler from Acorn and co-chairman of the Byte Night Wales board, said: "It was a tough night in many ways but also a great night of networking, fun and camaraderie. "What we must never forget is that we returned to warm homes, full fridges and cosy beds in the morning. "For many young people living in Wales and across the UK, this simply isn't the case." The Wallich's intervention team go into Cardiff each morning to support the homeless, offering them food and drink, clean clothing, as well as advice on where they can get temporary accommodation. On average, 23 people were supported each morning between April 2015 and March 2016. A charity spokesman said: "We are extremely concerned with the increased figures. In April this year we recorded the highest number of rough sleepers and it's a trend we don't want to see. "We believe the rise is partly due to increased financial pressures on people and the reality that one in three of the population is one lost pay cheque away from failing to pay the rent." The government-funded Everton in the Community Free School will be run by the club's charity and is expected to open in September 2012. It will provide education and sports tuition for 120 14 to 19-year-olds. Its approval was announced in the House of Commons by Education Secretary Michael Gove. Everton FC chief executive Robert Elstone said: "We have played a huge part in the Liverpool and Merseyside community for over 100 years and this latest move demonstrates our desire to continue to make a difference where it counts." Everton FC manager David Moyes added: "It will, unquestionably, provide a real chance for some less-privileged, less-fortunate children to embrace and benefit from a high-quality education." Media playback is not supported on this device Smith, 21, secured her medal in the clean-and-jerk with a best of 119kg. Her subsequent 96kg snatch and total of 215kg gave her fourth place overall. Smith said her efforts were "nowhere near where I thought I'd be" and cited injuries as a factor in her below-par performance. "A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a knee problem and before coming here I picked up a back niggle," she said. "I've got two bulging discs, so at one point I didn't actually think I'd be able to compete. "I guess in the grand scheme it's not too bad," she added. "I think if I was on form, I could've achieved a lot more." Smith beat fellow Briton Emily Godley, who was sixth overall at the event in Forde. Performances at the Norway event count towards Olympic qualification, with a maximum of one men's and one women's berth possible for Team GB. Final Olympic qualifying places will be confirmed in mid-June. Earlier on Wednesday, British weightlifter Jack Oliver had to withdraw from his event with a suspected dislocated elbow. The 25-year-old was hurt attempting to lift 178kgs in the 77kg event. Oliver is the British record holder but now faces an anxious wait to see whether the injury will rule him out of the Rio Games. Scientists at the Cochrane Collaboration say taking the supplements could prevent diarrhoea - a common side-effect of many antibiotics. They looked specifically at cases of diarrhoea caused by the potentially dangerous Clostridium difficile bug. Experts say probiotics could be a "pre-emptive strike" to ensure a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut. Antibiotics can disturb the ecosystem of organisms normally present in the digestive system, allowing bacteria such as C. difficile to overwhelm the gut. And people infected with the bug can suffer from diarrhoea, an inflamed and painful bowel or even death. Researchers worldwide have been investigating whether probiotics - cocktails of micro-organisms - can keep gut bacteria in check by competing with more harmful bugs. Scientists from the independent Cochrane Collaboration looked at data from 23 trials involving 4,213 patients who were on antibiotic treatment for a variety of reasons. The researchers found 2% of patients given probiotics developed C. difficile-associated diarrhoea compared with 6% of patients who were taking placebos. Professor Brendan Wren of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who was not involved in the review, said: "Research into the prevention of C difficile is important - there is something special about the bacterium and the toxin it produces which allows it to have competitive advantage over other bugs and makes it difficult to get rid of. "The probiotic approach is a good idea. It could provide a pre-emptive strike to make sure the balance in your gut is fine." The authors suggest probiotics could be particularly useful when there are outbreaks of C. difficile. Dr Bradley Johnston, part of the Cochrane team, said: "Implementing the appropriate dose and strains of probiotics in hospitals could provide cost savings and improve quality of life." And the review showed that people taking probiotics had fewer unwanted side-effects than those on placebos, including stomach cramps, nausea and taste disturbances. The authors say more work needs to be done to to pinpoint exactly which types of probiotics work best. And though probiotics were seen to prevent diarrhoea associated with the bug, they note they did not prevent infections with C. difficile. They suggest this property needs further investigation to help them understand more about how probiotics work. Heather Wheeler was admitted to Queen's Hospital in Burton, Staffordshire, for a "resilient infection". The Derbyshire South candidate said Prime Minister David Cameron had wished her a speedy recovery. She was initially suspected of having a virus but had to be admitted shortly before she was due to officially launch her campaign on Saturday. Derbyshire South was a Conservative gain from Labour in 2010, with Ms Wheeler winning a 7,128 vote majority. It is also being contested by Green candidate Marianne Bamkin, UKIP's Alan Graves, Lib Dem Lorraine Johnson and Labour's Cheryl Pidgeon.

Raymond Gilmour, from Londonderry, was found dead by his son, according to the Belfast Telegraph. He became an RUC Special Branch informer when he was 17 and was the only witness in a trial of 35 IRA suspects that collapsed in 1984. Raymond Gilmour lived under an assumed identity for more than 30 years. It is understood that his death is not being treated as suspicious. He first joined republican paramilitaries, the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) in 1976 as a police agent working for the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). He then moved to the IRA in 1980 before his cover was blown two years later when police used information supplied by him to recover a machine gun. He decided to testify against a number of alleged republicans in 1984, but the case collapsed when the then lord chief justice, Lord Lowry, dismissed his evidence, calling it "unworthy of belief". Sir John Hermon, the RUC chief constable at that time, called them "CTs" - converted terrorists. Technically they were "assisting offenders". But on the streets of the communities they came from, as evidenced by the graffiti on the walls, they were branded "touts" and "supergrasses". During the early 1980s, people took to the streets to protest at what they called the "show trials". It was claimed informers were offered cash inducements and that secret deals were struck at a political level, approved by the secretary of state for Northern Ireland. At that time, the trials held in the now derelict Crumlin Road courthouse in Belfast were the largest in British criminal history. In one of them in 1983, 22 IRA suspects were jailed for a total of 4,000 years. That stalemate arguably ended with the government's decision to revoke the citizenship of Sheikh Isa Qassim, the kingdom's most prominent Shia Muslim cleric and spiritual inspiration behind the main opposition bloc Wefaq. The move is but the coup de grace in a series of recent crackdowns on dissent. These included the re-arrest of outspoken government critic Nabeel Rajab and a travel ban on activists planning to attend this month's UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. The government has also imposed an extended nine-year prison sentence for Wefaq's longstanding secretary-general Sheikh Ali Salman, introduced a new law barring religious leaders from membership in political societies, and has enforced the wholesale suspension of Wefaq's activities. On the face of it, such decisions would seem to point to an emboldened regime finally willing to throw off the pretence of entertaining serious reform - one confident in its ability to handle the inevitable domestic and international fallout of redoubled political repression. And, on the diplomatic front at least, such a conclusion is undoubtedly correct. Since Wefaq's boycott of 2014 parliamentary elections in protest at a lack of meaningful concessions by the state, its one-time interlocutors at the US and British embassies have all but shunned the group. The UK Foreign Office in particular has communicated bluntly that the opposition made its own bed by refusing to participate within the existing political framework, however flawed, and now will have to sleep in it. Around the same time at the regional level, the unforeseen rise of so-called Islamic State (IS) in Syria and Iraq meant that the US and its allies found themselves in immediate material need of Bahrain and the other Arab Gulf states, rather than the usual reverse relationship. In return for their diplomatic and (nominal) military assistance, Gulf leaders demanded greater leeway in managing domestic politics. In the case of Bahrain, Western criticism and engagement have been noticeably muted since. What is less clear, however, is whether Bahrain's latest measures against the opposition are evidence of a position of domestic strength, or of perceived vulnerability. At least three separate factors are at play. Notably, two of the three have more to do with economics than politics. The first is Bahrain's Sunni Muslim community, which gave vital support to the ruling family in 2011 by organising counter-rallies that helped arrest the momentum of the uprising. But rather than fading away with the end of mass demonstrations, many of these populist Sunni coalitions transformed into political movements in their own right, making demands upon the state, often vocally, for higher wages and a harsher security response to lingering protests. Fearful that these groups could potentially give rise to a new phenomenon of Sunni opposition, the state redrew electoral boundaries in time for the 2014 elections in a way that disadvantaged their candidates, who failed to win a single seat. These electoral machinations, combined with the government's new disqualification of religious leaders from politics, makes it clear that it is not simply Shia who are the target of the state's clampdown, but politically active Sunnis as well. This bodes ill for the country's two largest and most established political societies after Wefaq, which represent Salafists and followers of the Muslim Brotherhood respectively. For ordinary Sunnis, such suspicion is seen as poor repayment for their loyalty in the state's hour of need. A second factor that could help explain the timing of Bahrain's authoritarian turn is the fiscal crisis presently facing the state as a result of low oil prices. Already poor by Gulf standards, in the past six months alone Bahrainis have had to endure a string of cost-cutting measures that have seen dramatic overnight increases in the prices of food, water and electricity, and vehicle fuel. The state has promised even further fiscal tightening in the form of a GCC-wide value-added tax, increased fees on government services and even changes to state pension benefits. In Saudi Arabia, similarly painful economic reforms announced in January were famously preceded by the surprise execution of dissident Shia cleric Sheikh Norm al-Nimr, which most observers interpreted as a transparent attempt at appeasing the regime's core Sunni supporters. Might Bahrain be taking a page from the Saudi playbook? Finally, it is possible that Bahrain's steps toward authoritarian retrenchment reflect a struggle for influence within the fractured ruling Khalifa family itself. Specifically, the immediacy of the country's economic challenges has thrust back into the limelight Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad, a moderate who was marginalised after an embarrassing failed attempt at negotiating with Wefaq leaders in February 2011. The crown prince's economic reform agenda is strongly opposed by his powerful uncle, Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman, whose influence is rooted in vast patronage networks. The bold steps against the opposition may thus be a message to the reform-minded Salman that he should not expect the newfound demand for his economic expertise to present an entry into the political realm. Equally likely, perhaps, the experience of the past five years may have brought the Crown Prince closer to the thinking of more conservative members of his family: that engagement with the opposition is at best a waste of time, at worst a repeat of a grave mistake. And far better, then, to do away with it altogether. Justin Gengler is Research Programme Manager at the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute of Qatar University. He is the author of Group Conflict and Political Mobilization in Bahrain and the Arab Gulf. The anonymous owner took the document to a valuation day at The Beatles Story in Liverpool on Wednesday - and discovered it was worth about £60,000. One expert believes the text is a draft of the letter Lennon eventually sent, which remains in the Royal archives. Lennon returned the MBE in protest at Britain's involvement in a civil war. The letter reads: "I am returning this MBE in protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts." The letter, which was recently unearthed in the owner's attic, has been described as an "incredible find" by music memorabilia expert Darren Julien. It was originally discovered inside the sleeve of a record that was part of a collection of 45s, picked up for £10 at a car boot sale 20 years ago. "My theory is that John Lennon never sent this draft because of the smeared ink," said Mr Julien. "If you're writing to the Queen, you want the letter to look pretty perfect, you don't want the ink to be smudged. "This suggests that he wrote a second version of the letter, which was the one that was actually sent." Other items that valued at the event include: The Napoli midfielder's measured pass set up Vladimir Weiss, who cut inside and side-footed Slovakia ahead. Hamsik then spectacularly doubled the lead, receiving a short corner out wide before firing a shot in off the post. Russia face disqualification if their fans misbehave inside stadiums and a flare was seen among their supporters when Denis Glushakov headed in late on. That appeared to be the only issue for authorities inside Lille's Stade Pierre-Mauroy, in contrast to last week's scenes in Marseille's Stade Velodrome, where Russian fans charged into a section for England supporters after the final whistle in the draw between the two countries. Russia will now almost certainly need to beat Wales on Monday if they are to stand any chance of progress, while Slovakia know victory over England will see them through. Slovakia's defensive effort as Russia applied pressure late on was admirable, but without Hamsik it is hard to see Jan Kozak's side creating opportunities. "He has matured as a person and as a player at Napoli - he is ready to play for a very big club," said Slovakia coach Jan Kozak of Hamsik afterwards. Hamsik is one of only two players in the Slovakia squad with more than 10 international goals - and just as in their opening defeat by Wales, he had more touches than any of his team-mates. This time his touches were more telling as he found positions to have five shots, made more passes than any of his team-mates and won possession 12 times. The ball to free Weiss took advantage of Russia's early positivity. Right-back Igor Smolnikov had continuously joined attacks and his poor positioning saw Hamsik curl a pass into space from deep. Weiss, who plays for Qatari club Al-Gharafa, easily evaded two challenges before becoming the first player from a non-European club to score at a European Championship. If his finish was composed, Hamsik's was an exhibition of power as his effort flew across goal to cannon off the upright and back across the goalline into the bottom corner. Slovakia go into their final game with one loss in their past 10 matches, while Russia have had just one win in seven before their meeting with Wales in Toulouse. Manager Leonid Slutsky - at 45, the youngest at Euro 2016 - looked distraught as he sat on his bench in silence after the final whistle. The momentum he gave their qualifying campaign after succeeding the sacked Fabio Capello has seemingly been lost, and his double role as CSKA Moscow boss and national manager looks unlikely to continue if Russia exit at the group stage. Though they went close when Fedor Smolov's long-range shot went inches wide early on, all too often their play looked mechanical and devoid of flair in the final third. Glushakov only came on at the break but the Spartak Moscow player made a difference, completing 97% of his passes and heading in Oleg Shatov's pinpoint late cross. A wayward Glushakov effort from 18 yards - one of 13 Russia attempts to miss the target - proved the final action and what has already been a difficult tournament for the nation now looks likely to end in disappointment on the pitch. Russia coach Leonid Slutsky on whether he picked the wrong line-up: " I wouldn't say that because if the plan we had at the beginning had been executed, and if we had scored the first goal, it would have been a different game. After we went behind, we had to change our plan, especially the system in midfield." Slovakia coach Jan Kozak: "The match was very close and tense; nobody wanted to open up space and concede. At half-time we said it was only 2-0, we had things under control for a time, but we got tired. The last 10 minutes seemed to last a very long time." Both teams have 20:00 BST kick-offs on 20 June - their final group matches. Slovakia will meet England - a side they have never beaten - in Saint-Etienne, while Russia face Wales - a side they have never lost to. Match ends, Russia 1, Slovakia 2.

Sitting on the start-finish straight with two others for company, the position panel waits for one of the top three drivers to gently ease their car in front of it. That wasn't the case for the 'number three' board in Monaco. After a needless pit stop saw Lewis Hamilton let slip the lead to finish third, the Briton - still fuming from his team's decision to call him in - appeared to be in a grumpy mood. Media playback is not supported on this device On the lap of honour after the race, Hamilton stopped his car on the outside of the Portier corner, with the front of his Mercedes overlooking the sea. As Hamilton sat in his cockpit for a good minute or so, staring out to the Mediterranean Sea, the thoughts of those watching turned to the moment Ayrton Senna abandoned his wrecked McLaren at the same corner during the 1988 grand prix and promptly walked back to his Monaco flat without saying a word to anyone. Hamilton, did not follow in the footsteps of his hero this time. Instead he fired up his Mercedes, swung it round the remainder of the slow-down lap and promptly slammed the front of his car into the awaiting position panel. For that brief moment, Hamilton the slick and professional world champion disappeared. Hamilton was like a child who had just lost a running race they were convinced they would win. Much like smashing a racquet in tennis or kicking a goalpost in football, it was a hilariously petulant reaction. And we loved it. Licensing firm Dramatic Publishing had not extended the performance rights for the production, so Lee stepped in with Mockingbird Company. It will produce the play from 2016, giving proceeds to local communities. Dramatic Publishing said on its Facebook page it was "thrilled". It added: "We are also happy to announce that the play will be performed by Mockingbird Players, who have acted this American classic so well for so long. We believe that this is the best way (from the stage) to celebrate Ms Lee's masterpiece throughout the greater Monroeville area." A Facebook page called Save Monroeville's To Kill a Mockingbird play had been campaigning for the play to stay in Monroeville. Comments on the Facebook page included Johnny Johnson saying: "Thank you Miss Harper Lee , you have made Monroe County proud," and Meagan McDonald adding: "Thank you for working towards an agreement!! What a blessing for Monroeville!!" Performances for the play for this month and next are sold out, boosted by excitement over the upcoming publication of Lee's second book, Go Set a Watchman. It will be the 88-year-old American author's first release since the 1960s. The show has been staged by the Monroe County Heritage Museum for years, despite it being involved in legal disputes with Lee, 88, in the past. She sued the museum in 2013 for selling Mockingbird souvenirs in its shop, after it had opposed her application for a federal trademark for the title of her book. The dispute has since been settled. To Kill a Mockingbird, which explores issues of race, class and the loss of innocence, was published in July 1960 and has sold more than 40 million copies globally. It won a Pulitzer Prize and became an Oscar-winning film starring Gregory Peck two years later. Go Set a Watchman was written before Mockingbird, and features many of the same characters, with an adult Scout Finch returning to her native Alabama from New York to visit her father, lawyer Atticus Finch. Written in the mid-1950s but shelved on the advice of her editor, it will be released on 14 July. At a ceremony in the southern French city of Bayonne, an inventory of weapons, and their locations, was passed to the judicial authorities. French Interior Minister Matthias Fekl hailed the move as a "major step". Eta killed more than 800 people in some 40 years of violence as it sought to carve out an independent country straddling Spain and France. It declared a ceasefire in 2011 but did not disarm. Mr Fekl said the inventory included eight sites, and a police operation was under way to secure them. The caches contain 120 firearms, three tonnes of explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition, according to a spokesman for the group which mediated between Eta and the French authorities. The group was set up more than 50 years ago in the era of Spanish dictator General Franco. Its goal was to create an independent Basque state out of territory in south-west France and northern Spain. Its first known killing was in 1968, when a secret police chief was shot dead in the Basque city of San Sebastian. France and Spain refuse to negotiate with Eta, which is on the EU blacklist of terrorist organisations. It has taken years to convince Eta members to disarm without getting anything in return, says the BBC's Lyse Doucet, in Bayonne. She says she has been told about 100 hardline fighters still oppose the move. French police have begun checking the list of sites handed over on Saturday. There is also the International Verification Commission (IVC), set up in 2011 to monitor Eta's progress towards disarmament. It is not recognised by the French and Spanish governments, but it does have the backing of the regional Basque government in Spain. In 2014, the IVC reported that Eta had taken some of its weapons out of action, but the Spanish government dismissed the move as "theatrical". The Spanish government does not believe Eta will hand over all its weapons, Reuters quoted a government source as saying. Slowly, and with many false starts. Eta's first ceasefire was in 1998, but collapsed the following year. In 2006, it made another pledge to lay down arms that, too, proved to be illusory. In December of that year, it bombed an airport car park in Madrid, killing two people. Four years later, in 2010, Eta announced it would not carry out further attacks and in January 2011, it declared a permanent and "internationally verifiable" ceasefire but refused to disarm. In recent years, police in France and Spain have put Eta under severe pressure, arresting hundreds of militants, including leadership figures, and seizing many of its weapons. Eta's political wing, Herri Batasuna, was banned by the Spanish government, which argued that the two groups were inextricably linked. A simple ceremony in a city hall ended Eta's bloody campaign for independence. In an elegant high-ceilinged room, five people sat around a plain square table as early-morning light filtered through heavy drapes. Bayonne Mayor Jean-Rene Etchegaray welcomed them to a "moment we have all been waiting for". After a few short speeches, French Basque environmentalist Txetx Etcheverry approached the table with a bulky black file, with a dozen blue folders. From where I sat, I could see it included photographs as well as text. The dossier was handed to international witnesses including Italian Archbishop Matteo Zuppi and the Reverend Harold Good, who played a role in the Northern Ireland peace process. French security forces discreetly secured the area and the Spanish government raised no objections to the ceremony going ahead. Ram Manikkalingam of the IVC called it a "new model of disarmament and verification which emerged from Basque society". Evie and Ossie, rescue cats from the Celia Hammond Trust, have been given the run of four floors at the Whitehall office. Downing Street has its own mouser - Larry - who was tasked in 2011 with ridding No 10 of a rat problem. In April, the Foreign Office took on its own mouser, Palmerston, while the Treasury recruited Gladstone in July. Evie and Ossie are the first to come from the Celia Hammond Animal Trust - Larry, Gladstone and Palmerston came from the better-known Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Evie is Ossie's mother - a Cabinet Office spokeswoman said the cats would be looked after with donations from staff and were "settling in really well". Much of Whitehall seems to have a rodent problem. Larry was first bought after a rat was spotted scuttling past Downing Street's famous front door on live TV. The Foreign Office and Treasury recruited their own mousers this year. The Cabinet Office has named Evie after Dame Evelyn Sharp, the first female permanent secretary, while Ossie is named after Sir Edward Osmotherly - author of the rules followed by civil servants in giving evidence to select committees. A spokesman said the cats had arrived a couple of weeks ago, in time for the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Cabinet Office. "Everybody's been really enthusiastic. They are a very welcome presence in the office," she said. "They have been settling in and getting familiar with the building." The cats will be kept indoors and will have four floors to roam around. Media playback is not supported on this device Scott Williams' brilliant steal, kick-ahead and try with five minutes remaining put Wales ahead for the first time after four penalties apiece from Owen Farrell and Leigh Halfpenny had the teams locked together at 12-12. With time up, replacement Mike Brown put David Strettle over on the right but after several minutes of deliberation, television match official Iain Ramage ruled the winger had failed to ground the ball. It means Wales now have the Grand Slam in their sights and handed England interim coach Stuart Lancaster his first defeat in charge. Seven of England's starting XV had never played at Twickenham before but their performance belied that lack of international inexperience. (delivered by Accenture) With Farrell pulling the strings, scrum-half Lee Dickson impressive on his first full cap and the defence rock solid, this was the best display of Lancaster's reign so far. But Wales, despite losing Rhys Priestland to the sin-bin and struggling to replicate the fluid rugby of earlier in the month, did what all top teams do and found a way to win. If it was a frantic finale, it was also a breathless start, Sam Warburton feeding Mike Phillips off the top of a line-out and the scrum-half sending George North away with a cute inside pass. North seemed certain to score but was brought crashing down by a desperate full-length tap-tackle from Strettle. When the ball was recycled, Priestland put a kick just too far ahead of Alex Cuthbert. Wales had three-quarters of the possession and almost as much territory in the first quarter, and although Strettle nearly picked off a poor Alun Wyn Jones pass for an intercept, the Welsh forwards then launched a series of rumbles deep in English territory. Halfpenny missed a simple penalty chance after his pack made a mess of the English scrum, and when Dickson went on a dart after a tap-and-go, England finally made inroads Manu Tuilagi hammered dents in the red defence and Farrell made it 3-0, only for Halfpenny to level things up after Chris Robshaw took a pass standing still and was smashed by Dan Lydiate. Dickson's quick pass and Tuilagi's power were lifting England's backline. It took a desperate tackle from Warburton to deny England's outside centre but Farrell made it 6-3 when other defenders went offside. Media playback is not supported on this device Farrell then chipped over the onrushing Welsh defence and gathered in space only to be clattered backwards by the monstrous North, and Halfpenny landed his second penalty from distance for 6-6. The game was being played at a ferocious pace, the intensity relentless and the atmosphere crackling. Farrell's third successful kick from the left touchline came after an England turnover in the Welsh 22 and meant Lancaster's young side led at the interval. Within four minutes of the restart the game turned again. Mouritz Botha charged down Priestland's attempted clearance and looked odds-on to secure England's third charge-down try in three matches. And although Halfpenny scragged him, Priestland then went off-side and found himself sin-binned. Farrell knocked over another nerveless penalty to extend the lead to six points and the choruses of "Swing Low" rippled around the packed stands. Wales went through phases after phases but England's defence initially held firm against the 14 men until Jonathan Davies thumped into Farrell, Ken Owens barrelled on and Dylan Hartley went off his feet to allow Halfpenny to take his side back within a single score. Errors began to creep in, turnovers slowing Welsh advances and Geoff Parling being bundled into touch on the left as a promising move crabbed sideways. Lancaster threw Ben Youngs and Courtney Lawes into the fray. Priestland missed touch badly with a penalty and was then pinged for holding on when Ben Foden's clearing kick came back to him. Farrell, for once, could not take advantage, and England's lead remained just three as the minutes ticked away. It was Farrell's last deed, cramp forcing him to hobble off and Toby Flood coming on in his place. Media playback is not supported on this device Welsh replacements Ryan Jones and Williams then worked a priceless opportunity for Warren Gatland's team to wrest back the initiative. Jones burst off a scrum, Williams sliced through the scrambling English rearguard and had North completely free out wide, only to take the ball needlessly into contact and get turned over to roars from the home crowd. The pressure was making strong men weak. Matt Stevens kept his hands on the ball in a ruck despite repeated warnings from referee Steve Walsh and Halfpenny brought the scores level with just eight minutes left on the clock. England came again. Lawes thundered down the left, Halfpenny scampered and Wales cleared. When Wales had possession just inside the England half another fumble forced Priestland to kick possession away. Williams was not finished. Lawes crashed into three Welsh tacklers on halfway but the centre, on for an injured and ineffectual Jamie Roberts, ripped the ball from English hands, turned and span away. With a kick through he was free, gathering a kind bounce to dive over the try-line as his team-mates celebrated in his wake. Halfpenny added the extras and the Triple Crown was within their grasp. England needed a converted try to save the game. They went right, then left, and with time up a long mis-pass found Strettle sprinting for the right-hand corner. Halfpenny and Davies threw themselves at man and ball with North also playing a hand; the crowd celebrated and it went to the television match official for a heart-stopping age until the fateful decision came: no try.

Referee: Steve Walsh Touch judges: Peter Fitzgibbon, Pascale Gauzere TV: Iain Ramage Edwina Hart said there were "issues we do not control" as AMs debated chaos surrounding games in Cardiff in 2015. Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said one family with tickets gave up the journey and watched the game on TV in Bath. A committee of AMs has made several recommendations, including improvements to Cardiff Central railway station. Problems for rail passengers suffering delays and overcrowding were the main focus of a report by the business and enterprise committee in December. But fans travelling by road also suffered, AMs debating the report in the Senedd on Wednesday heard. Mr Davies spoke of "considerable congestion" at the Severn Bridge toll plaza, and highlighted the case of a family travelling from London who gave up their attempt to reach Cardiff for a match. "They were so far away from the toll plaza that in the end they turned in for Bath, watched the match in Bath, and spent the weekend in Bath," he said. "They had to forego the tickets that the father had bought for his family to enjoy a game of rugby here in Cardiff. "What sort of message is that sending out?" Responding, Mrs Hart said: "I'll be writing to the Department for Transport to raise the committee's concerns because these are issues we do not control. "We don't want to apportion blame but it's important people recognise the difficulties that were surrounding what was happening on the bridge." Daniel Zamudio, 24, has been in a medically induced coma since Saturday's attack by unidentified assailants. He had swastika-like shapes drawn on his chest, fuelling speculation that neo-Nazis were involved. Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter said efforts would be stepped up to pass an anti-discrimination law. "We're going to give added urgency to the anti-discrimination law," said Mr Hinzpeter, referring to legislation currently being considered by the Chilean congress. Chile should also consider passing a hate-crime law, he said. Mr Zamudio was left with severe head injuries and a broken right leg after being attacked in Santiago. He is on a ventilator and in an induced coma, but doctors say he is out of immediate danger. Mr Zamudio's parents said it was not the first time he had been targeted because of his sexual orientation, and that his attackers were neo-Nazis. A group representing gay rights in Chile, Movilh, has launched a publicity campaign to appeal for witnesses. "It wasn't a one-off event, violence by neo-Nazi groups keeps happening," Rolando Jimenez from Movilh told BBC Mundo. Prosecutors say they do not have firm evidence of neo-Nazi involvement but it is a possibility given the victim's profile, previous incidents, and the suspected swastika marks. In total, 2,984 runs were scored and 96 wickets fell across the nine matches taking place in Divisions One and Two, with England's Test players also in on the action. BBC Sport takes a closer look at how the opening day of pink-ball cricket in England and Wales played out. "First things first, this round of matches is about England players preparing for day-night Test cricket, rather than boosting the health of the county game," said BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt, who was watching Warwickshire against Lancashire at Edgbaston. "Any impact on the crowd would be incidental, but it would be encouraging to see greater numbers through the gates. Here, that was not the case. "There was no noticeable difference in attendance when compared to a normal Championship match. It was free to get in for the final session but, instead of people arriving after work, the crowd thinned. The weather may have played a part in that." Edgbaston was not alone in seeing the crowd diminish rather than increase, as was hoped, during the final session - despite some grounds offering free and reduced-price entry. BBC Radio London's Kevin Hand at Chelmsford and BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James at Southampton both reported a reduced number of spectators after the last interval, although BBC Radio Newcastle's Martin Emmerson said the crowd at Durham was "a bit bigger and certainly noisier than usual". Across the nine matches, there appeared to be more concern over the visibility of the pink ball for spectators and fielders than for the batsmen - and any additional movement compared to the red ball seemed negligible. This is arguably backed up by the number of wickets to fall. So far this season, Division One matches have seen an average of one wicket every 11 overs on the opening day of matches, while on Monday a wicket came on average every 10.3 overs. "I would say it was very similar to the red ball," explained BBC Radio Northampton's Alex Winter. "It just depended on the overheads. "There was a little early swing in the daytime and the Leicestershire bowlers did find some movement with the older ball. But, in the final session with the lights taking good effect, there was much more movement than with the new ball earlier in the day. "To begin with the new pink ball was better to pick out than the red but towards the 50-over mark, with no floodlights on, it became quite hard to pick up. "When the floodlights came on, it shimmered in the lights like the white ball never does - but it was still difficult until the floodlights took full effect very late in the day." BBC Radio London's Mark Church also highlighted the very noticeable change when the new ball was taken during the final session, saying that "it almost looks like it's come out of a toy shop," such was the difference in brightness and clarity between the two. Kevin Howells, commentating at Headingley, even said on BBC Radio 5 live there had been some suggestions that, after about 20 overs, the ball not only becomes duller and softer but also gets bigger because it retains moisture. With a full contingent of England players in action this week - aside from injured Nottinghamshire seamer Stuart Broad - much of the attention has centred around how the international stars would perform in alien conditions. Essex opener and former Test captain Alastair Cook continued his imperious domestic form, compiling another confident 64 not out for the Division One leaders. But the problem of who should partner him at the top of England's order still appears unsolved, with Lancashire's Haseeb Hameed and Durham's Keaton Jennings again struggling with modest scores of 17 and six. All-rounder Ben Stokes also endured a disappointing day at Chester-le-Street, making a seven-ball duck, while Jos Buttler was dismissed for just two despite being promoted to number three for Lancashire. Elsewhere, Northants' Ben Duckett blasted 112 - his century coming from just 89 deliveries in the first session - and white-ball specialist Jason Roy clobbered 87 from 91 balls for Surrey against Yorkshire. With the ball, fast bowler Mark Wood took 3-30 while the rest of the Durham attack struggled against Worcestershire. Domestic cricket history was also made in Glamorgan's game with Derbyshire in Cardiff, with the visitors naming 16-year-old Afghan-born spinner Hamidullah Qadri in their team, making him the first player born in the 2000s to play Championship cricket. Division One leaders Essex also handed a debut to Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir - and he followed his performance in the Champions Trophy with 2-53 against Middlesex. Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan told BBC Radio Leeds: "It was a kind of weird day. It nipped around with the new ball and we thought 'if it keeps doing this, we've got half a chance'. Then it stopped. "When the ball got really soft, it was difficult and looked easy-paced. It was quite slowish. I don't think the light played as much of a factor as we expected it to." Surrey's Jason Roy told BBC Radio London: "We saw it doing a little bit more than expected in the evening. But, apart from that, everything was pretty standard. "It was just a different colour, everything else was pretty similar. You could see when the lights came on, the ball was like a lightbulb. It was extremely shiny and the boys had to get to grips with that. After three, four, five overs it died down." Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson told BBC Solent: "The crowds haven't changed. We haven't had any more people in. But it is early days and it is something that might work. "From my first experience of it, they need to have a good look at what balls they are going to use. If you are going to keep on using those balls then you are going to get some pretty boring cricket." One of the major - albeit more trivial - talking points on Monday was what the intervals should be called, with breaks at 16:00 and 18:40 not particularly befitting of the titles 'lunch' and 'tea'. In Australia, where three day-night Tests have already been played, they are called 'tea' and 'dinner'. 'Afternoon tea', 'high tea' and 'supper' were all put forward by readers of the BBC Sport live text commentary page - while 'tiffin' was one suggestion made by BBC Radio Kent's Ben Watts. Even our scorecards were bamboozled for a short period during the second interval, temporarily crashing before normal service was resumed for the final session. England will play their first home day-night Test against West Indies at Edgbaston from 17-21 August - and will also play a day-night Test in Adelaide in December as part of the 2017-18 Ashes series against Australia. "It was important for us to arrange a full round of fixtures to give our England players the chance to experience the conditions," said ECB chief executive Tom Harrison, when the Championship plan was announced last November. "But, just as we wanted to assess the impact of making Test cricket more accessible by changing the hours of play, the counties have really embraced the potential of Championship matches that stretch well into the evening when people have finished school or work." The ECB will not make any firm decision on whether to schedule a similar round of day-night fixtures in 2018 until they have received feedback from the counties about this season's round of games. The County Championship has actually played host to day-night cricket in the past - a one-off fixture between Kent and Glamorgan at Canterbury in 2011. That game took place late in the season in September and, despite free entry for the final 'night' session, attendances were poor and the experiment received a mixed response from players. Brian Óg Maguire, 24, from Lisnaskea died after being hit by a steel cable. It snapped at the Quinn pre-stressed concrete factory in Derrylin on 13 September 2012. Liam McCaffery, a Quinn Building Products Ltd director, admitted it had failed to ensure the health and safety of an employee. He also admitted it had failed to maintain work equipment. A barrister for the firm said Mr Maguire was a popular work colleague and the "very significant sense of loss" had not diminished with the passage of time. Mr Maguire was a senior Fermanagh GAA football player. Members of his family wept in the public gallery during the court proceedings. The company will be sentenced on 7 October following the preparation of victim impact reports. In a statement on Friday, the company's management said the "tragic event" had occurred prior to the acquisition of the business by Quinn Industrial Holdings Limited. However, it said the company accepted that there "were failings in its maintenance of appropriate Health and Safety regulations at the time of the accident". "Brian's death remains a tragic loss to his family, his community and his work-colleagues and he is sadly missed by all his friends throughout the business," the statement added. "The company has worked closely with the Health & Safety Executive, implemented significant changes to work practices and made every possible effort to ensure that no such incident ever occurs again." The prince met staff and patients from east London's Mildmay Hospital, which has treated those living with the illness for more than 25 years. He highlighted how his mother helped break the stigma around the illness when she kissed an Aids patient there. The visit marked the official opening of the new £6m Mildmay Hospital. Harry, who put his signature in a visitors' book beneath a picture of Diana signing a photograph of herself during a 1991 visit, was told stories of his mother making private late-night visits to the hospital. Kerry Reeves-Kneip, Mildmay's fundraising director, told Harry that Diana made 17 visits to the centre in Shoreditch - three publicly - and that staff faced discrimination from some neighbouring shops which refused to serve them. She said: "She [Diana] came at such an important time - around this area local barbers wouldn't cut staff's hair. She really did break down the stigma." Ms Reeves-Kneip also told a story of one of Diana's visits. Speaking about Harry and his brother William, she said: "There was a telephone call from a school - one of you had clambered on to a school roof." Harry joked that "it was probably me", and when told his mother "found it amusing", replied "phew". The new hospital admitted its first patients in September. The prince also cut a cake marking the charity's 150th anniversary, which is next year. Mildmay began as a mission hospital in the mid-19th Century, providing care during a cholera outbreak in London, and became part of the NHS after World War Two before being closed down in 1982. In 1988 it reopened as the first dedicated hospice for people dying of Aids-related illnesses. The Beggarwood practice "put patients at risk of harm", the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said. CQC inspectors visited the Basingstoke surgery in February, and said two of GPs felt the practice was "clinically unsafe due to staff shortages". The GPs are leaving this month, but operator Cedar Medical insists the surgery has "adequate staffing". More on this and other stories from across the south of England. The CQC said it was "worrying" standards had "declined" since a previous inspection in May last year found the surgery "required improvement". It said patients' records were not kept up to date, some staff were not properly trained and the surgery team was "disengaged". Ruth Rankine, Deputy Chief Inspector of General Practice, said: "While the majority of staff were viewed as caring, there seemed to be a lack of commitment from the leadership." She said fire risk assessments had not been acted on and some staff did not know where emergency equipment was stored. Patients were waiting up to four to six weeks for routine appointments, the report said. A notice on the surgery website, which lists five GPs, said four of them were leaving between 1 and 9 June. It said: "We are in the process of recruiting two full time equivalent GPs and two full time equivalent Advanced Nurse Practitioners." Cedar Medical, part of the Integral Medical Holdings (IMH) group, said it was supporting Beggarwood after the surgery's funding was "reduced across the board". IMH director Richard Power, said: "There is currently an adequate number of clinicians." The NHS North Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group said "taking all necessary steps" to ensure progress. Police said officers were called to a property after reports of the sudden death of a man in the early hours of the morning. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "The death is being treated as unexplained and inquiries are at a very early stage and ongoing." Police remained at the scene and an area of grass was cordoned off. Wightlink began operating larger cross-Solent ferries from its new Lymington terminal in 2009. The Lymington River Association (LRA) claimed it was harming wildlife habitats. At a hearing at the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Sullivan refused it permission to appeal further. The campaigners had attempted to appeal over a 2011 planning inquiry decision about Wightlink's project to operate larger W-class ships between Lymington and Yarmouth, which had commenced two years earlier. Wightlink had been allowed to continue running larger ships on Lymington River after promising to "offset" the environmental impact. Opponents mounted legal action, claiming the ships were creating a bigger wash and were harming habitats in the Lymington River. But following a public inquiry, the planning inspector agreed that a plan to dredge material from the river to replenish marshland was sufficient. New Forest's district council and national park authority withdrew their objections to the scheme after it was revealed Natural England had agreed to the plans to replenish the marsh. The ferry company said the legal action had cost it £3.5m in five years. John Burrows, chief operating officer, said: "While we recognise the rights of individuals to challenge developments on environmental grounds, we believe this case has gone too far. "It seems to us to be quite wrong that a small group of individuals should be able to impose such a costly legal burden on the UK taxpayer and on our company." Stephen Akester, of the Lymington River Association, said the decision was "very disappointing". He said the objections were mounted by "responsible citizens seeking the truth and conservation of the marshes which protect and form an essential part of the character of Lymington". A small Potter-themed event with stalls and games had been planned for Bearsden Cross, on the outskirts of Glasgow,. But the Reverend Roddy Hamilton of New Kilpatrick Parish Church said the plans had been "blown out of the water" by the massive interest on Facebook. The festival has been cancelled amid concerns that it had got out of hand. Mr Hamilton, one of the co-ordinator's of the Bearsden Festival, said people had been planning to travel from all over Europe and some had compared it to T in the Park, a music festival that attracts 80,000 a day. He said it was a small, local event that had been held for five years. The aim was to develop "better relationships" between the church and the community, he told BBC Scotland's Kaye Adams programme. Mr Hamilton said: "This was blown out of the water this week by our Facebook post going viral and Potter fans from all over the world being interested in it." He said the page had reached 250,000 people, with 10,000 confirming that they wanted to attend. "We got messages from Croatia, Norway and Holland," he said. "It's amazing what Harry Potter fans are like, they will fly anywhere - broomsticks or otherwise - to get to a Harry Potter festival." The minister said they were not set up for the level of interest it generated and there were concerns about "safety, parking capacity and licensing implications". He said: "We were going to do one or two events, a barbeque, a Quidditch match. "One of the local cafes would decorate themselves as one of the houses in Hogsmead ,where Harry Potter and his friends used to meet, and we would create Butter Beer. "It was very small scale but it didn't end up being like that." He said Facebook had been useful to get local interest in previous festivals but the Harry Potter theme sent the post global. "We just saw the numbers increasing and increasing," Mr Hamilton said. "It took us three years to get 155 likes on our church Facebook page and three days to get to 10,000 on the Harry Potter page." Harry Potter superfan Kathryn Burnett, from County Durham, told Call Kaye she had been was planning to go to the festival and was "gutted" it had been cancelled. "I think I had been tagged on the Facebook page 12 times by friends," she said. "If it is an Harry Potter event then I'm there. "I think the fans would love something like this. "If something on that scale, a huge Harry Potter festival was done, it would be jam-packed. For fans that would be a dream come true." The Harry Potter Weekend had been due to take place between 23 and 25 June 2017. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Kaye Adams is to host a new daily three-hour programme, replacing Morning Call and MacAulay & Co. Starting in March, it will include debates, interviews and phone-ins. Fred MacAulay will continue to work for the station on a series of comedy programmes. They include Breaking The News, a new weekly satirical panel show with comedians and journalists recorded in front of a live audience. Elsewhere, Good Morning Scotland will be broadcast on Sundays and Newsdrive will be extended by 30 minutes every weekday. Morning Briefing will no longer be broadcast. All of the new schedule changes will start in mid to late March. The changes are being made to bring more news and current affairs to daytime coverage in line with BBC Scotland's "speech by day, music by night" strategy. Jeff Zycinski, head of radio for BBC Scotland, said: "Both the Commonwealth Games and the referendum showed us that our listeners want to participate in issues that affect their lives and this move will help them do just that. "They've told us they want to play their part in questioning the people whose decisions impact on their lives and this move, along with a commitment to new comedy, sport and music, will form the spine of our new schedule." Kaye Adams said: "Our listeners often help us get to the nub of any story and their contributions and reactions frequently shed new light on subjects close to their hearts. "They tell us how things impact directly on them and that way we, in turn, can ask our decision-makers to explain their thinking. "This new show will allow us to really discuss and dissect the issues of the day and put our decision-makers on the spot." The new morning programme "Kaye Adams" will be hosted by John Beattie on Fridays, in addition to his existing lunchtime news programme which runs Monday to Thursday. As well as Breaking The News, Fred MacAulay will host a series of shows from the Edinburgh Fringe and present a documentary on the impact of comedy on politics. Mr MacAulay, who has been presenting MacAulay & Co for the last 17 years, said: "I am looking forward to taking my radio audience with me on a new journey as I return to my comedy roots. "I am excited to be hosting these brand new series and working with BBC Scotland and independent production colleagues." A new two-hour evening music show, Tonight at The Quay, will also be recorded weekly in front of a live audience at the BBC's Pacific Quay building as part of the changes. There will be extra sports coverage as well, with extended Sportsound programmes and a weekly magazine show focussing on personal fitness. Luis Suarez scored twice and Neymar and Andres Iniesta also netted as Barca - for whom Lionel Messi was a second-half substitute - went six points clear of Real at the top of La Liga. "This victory tastes glorious because it is against our eternal rivals," said Enrique, who played for both sides. "It will be very difficult for us to better this performance." Barca were as dominant as the scoreline suggests and could have won by more goals. Enrique added: "Winning like this against players of such a high level is difficult, but we managed to pull off what we were hoping to do throughout the game. "I don't think Real Madrid gave up. We were a level above them and we outnumbered them in many areas of the game. The game is more of a reflection of our merits than Madrid's faults." Messi, returning after nine games out because of a knee injury, had a hand in Suarez's second goal - Barca's fourth. Suarez and Neymar ensured Barcelona did not miss the Argentine too much during his two months out, scoring all 19 of the club's La Liga goals before Iniesta struck at the Bernabeu. Enrique had said in his Friday news conference that he would wait until the last minute to decide whether to start the club's all-time top scorer. But speaking after Saturday's game, he said: "I decided it during the week and I wanted to get feedback from him. It was a relatively easy decision to make, and Leo also understood it." Barca captain Iniesta, who scored and assisted in a Clasico for the first time, called his side's performance "complete". "We wanted to win by the highest goal difference possible and the bigger the distance the better," he said. "Our lead is six points but it is not decisive. There's a long way to go." Iniesta was given a standing ovation by the home fans when he was substituted, and said: "I am grateful for the applause." Suarez said: "We are six points up against a direct rival but there's a lot left. I'm thrilled. These games are double the fun and I'm very satisfied." In 2014, the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA) ruled on 2,175 cases, with 500 going in favour of the students. Disputes over academic issues such as degree classification or marks for work formed 61% of complaints. Universities UK said that two million students were covered by the system and the percentage of complaints was small. The £400,000 in compensation was paid to 200 students following recommendations made to individual universities by the OIA. Of the 2,175 complaints dealt with 59% were found unjustified, 14% were found ineligible for OIA intervention and 5% were withdrawn. Less than a quarter, 23% (figures do not add up to 100% owing to rounding) went in favour of the student. OIA chief executive Rob Behrens said: "Depending on the case, this may lead to the student being given a second chance to submit work or appeal against a decision, cancellation of a penalty imposed by a university, or financial compensation, which in 2014 reached almost £400,000. "As importantly, the report shows that, overall, universities are doing a thorough job in dealing with the majority of complaints fairly." The number of complaints dealt with by the OIA has remained pretty steady, at about 2,000 during the past three years. Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK, said: "The shift in England from public funding to increased fees means that students are understandably, and rightly, demanding more from their university courses. "Universities are responding to this and are also improving the amount of information to students about courses to ensure that their experience matches their expectations. "It is important to remember that the total number of complaints found to be justified or partly justified [500] represents a small percentage of the two million students covered by the scheme in England and Wales." The OIA report also said it had dealt with complaints from students involved in protests, who had been unhappy with the way their university had handled the situation. And each year it received a small number of complaints from students who may be victims or alleged perpetrators in cases of sexual harassment and assault on campus. It said: "It should be of concern to everyone working and studying in higher education that cases occur of unwanted physical contact, unwanted advances, initiation ceremonies, sexual innuendo and threats. "We have made, and providers have implemented, recommendations about improving support and strengthening processes to help students, and also staff, involved in such cases. "The OIA's role is not to judge the behaviour but to look at how the providers dealt with complaints or disciplinary cases." Are you a student who has received compensation?

Dowsett has played eight times since joining from Australian Super Rugby side ACT Brumbies. "Michael has shown tremendous professionalism," director of rugby Gary Gold told the club website. "He provides important competition in the half-back position and he's a hungry, enthusiastic individual who drives standards across the board." Fold Housing Association wants to build 244 homes, a community centre and business units on the site. The development is opposed by some local residents who object to the loss of a site that was previously used for employment purposes. Belfast City Council's planning committee will decide on the proposals next week. Fold had been required to revise the scheme after planners said it did not include enough new space for economic or business use. The plan now includes more space for business units. The Visteon factory closed in 2009 with the loss of more than 200 jobs. Its sales increased by 2.1% in the 12 weeks to 22 May compared with the same period last year. Discount chains Lidl and Aldi continued to post the highest growth, with Lidl up 14.2% and Aldi 11.4% higher. The "big four" grocers - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons - continued to shed market share. Overall, the grocery market was "essentially flat" in the quarter, Kantar said, with the value of sales up by just 0.1%. The figures relate to overall take-home sales and therefore reflect the impact of store openings or closures. The Co-operative posted higher sales during the period, up 3.3%, while its market share rose from 6% to 6.2%. Among the discounters. Aldi's market share rose to 6.0% from 5.4% a year earlier, while Lidl's share increased to 4.4% from 3.9%. Sales decreased at the four biggest retailers, though the decline of 1% at Tesco was the lowest for two years. Its market share fell to 28.3% from 28.6%. Sainsbury's posted a similar decline in sales as its market share fell to 16.2% from 16.5%. However, Edward Garner, director at Kantar Worldpanel, said customers had not abandoned the major retailers, as their combined shopper numbers had dropped by only 0.2% in the past 12 weeks. "While the big four are struggling to keep their market share what's clear is that consumers aren't flocking away from their stores," he said. Kantar said food prices fell by 1.5% in the latest quarter, representing the 22nd consecutive period of grocery price deflation. "Falling prices reflect the impact of Aldi and Lidl and the market's competitive response, as well as deflation in some major categories such as pork, poultry, butter, eggs and vegetables." With 13.7% of worldwide sales, it's the highest British share since the BPI began recording those figures in 2000. Sales of albums by British artists rose in Canada, Australia, Italy and Sweden, as well as the US. Albums from Sam Smith and Pink Floyd also made the top ten list of the world's biggest-sellers of 2014. According to the BPI's Music Market 2015 report, Taylor Swift topped the list of global recording artists, after shifting six million copies of her album 1989. The figures, which take into account album sales, track sales and streams, put One Direction in second place and Sheeran in third. The BPI also found that streaming had doubled in the UK during 2014. As previously reported, British acts dominated album sales in the UK in 2014, taking each of the top 10 best-selling artist albums of the year for the first time, and accounting for more than half of album sales. Other British artists making a notable global impact in 2014 include London Grammar in France and Australia, James Blunt in Germany, Paloma Faith in Australia and Arctic Monkeys in countries including the US. British artists accounted for 20.4% of sales in Australia, while in Italy it was 19.8%. BPI and Brit Awards chief executive, Geoff Taylor, said the figures showed the UK is a "creative powerhouse". "Music is a tremendous exports success story for the UK - all around the world, fans are listening to the records we produce, supporting not only our balance of trade but a positive image for Britain overseas," he said. Source: IFPI (positions are based on album sales, track sales and streams) James Taggart, from Kingsmere Gardens in Londonderry, was 17 at the time of the offence in February 2012. He attacked and raped the 19-year-old woman after meeting her in the bar in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh. Jailing him, the judge at Dungannon Crown Court said he met the threshold of a dangerous offender as he posed a significant risk of serious harm. He had denied the attack but last September, a jury unanimously found him guilty of raping and assaulting the victim after a 10-day trial. Taggart, who is now aged 20, was handed an extended sentence of nine years in custody, followed by two years on licence. He must serve at least half of the sentence before being considered for release and he will remain indefinitely on the sex offenders' register. The judge said the offence was aggravated because he was on bail at the time having been released from prison, had previous convictions for assault, and the attack involved violence. She said the victim has suffered a significant psychological impact. Taggart continues to deny his guilt and had claimed to police that the woman had consented to having sex after she returned to his house. The judge said he had shown no compassion or remorse at his trial, and the victim had been subjected to a lengthy cross-examination in which she had been required to demonstrate how she had been throttled around her throat during the attack. The victim told the trial that Taggart had "absolutely flipped" and she said she could scarcely breathe and that she was scared for her life. The court was told he had spent his formative teenage years in custody for a series of violent assaults. He was assessed as being dangerous at an earlier court hearing in September 2013 after he pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent for an assault in 2011 when he stamped and kicked a person as they lay on the ground. His defence barrister said that Taggart was addressing his problems and risks of future offending, and that his future was "not too pessimistic."

Thousands of the small seabirds have been driven from wintering grounds off Scandinavia by stormy easterly winds. RSPB Scotland said the event was on a "massive scale" and auks have appeared as far inland as Lentran near Beauly. While large numbers of birds have survived the ordeal, others have been found dead including at Rosemarkie. The birds discovered at Rosemarkie in the Black Isle were thought to have tried to find shelter among large clumps of seaweed on the beach. Stuart Benn, of RSPB Scotland, said many of the birds were finding shelter in the Moray Firth. He said: "What is going on is on a massive scale. I've never known anything quite like it. "To get this number of birds so close inshore is unprecedented." Another ornithological organisation, Rare Bird Alert, has been recording sightings of little auks at other locations in Scotland and the rest of the UK, including Orkney, Shetland, Caithness and Fife. The birds winter in the North Sea off Denmark and also off the coast of Sweden, feeding on plankton. They breed in colonies numbering hundreds of thousands of birds in the Arctic, including on Svalbard and Spitsbergen. Mr Benn said the wind-blown little auks should eventually find their way back to their usual territories once the weather calms down. Dozens of the seabirds have been rescued. The Scottish SPCA said it was caring for more than 100 of the auks at its National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fishcross. Northampton South Tory David Mackintosh was criticised in a report over the loan to Northampton Town from the borough council when he was leader. Constituency chairman Suresh Patel said Mr Mackintosh should answer to local members at a meeting on 9 December. Mr Mackintosh said he was "happy" to answer questions about the loan. Northampton Town was given the money to redevelop Sixfields stadium, with much of it being passed to a company called 1st Land Ltd. The company is now in liquidation while the work on Sixfields was not completed. Mr Mackintosh benefited from "hidden" donations to his general election fighting fund from 1st Land, a BBC investigation found. Mr Mackintosh previously said he had "no reason to believe" that the donations were from anyone other than the named donors. This is currently subject to a separate police investigation. An audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers found the borough council cabinet lacked full information on the risks when it approved the transaction in 2013. The report said Mr Mackintosh, who was leader of the authority for four years before becoming an MP in 2015, wanted to "conclude the transaction promptly". Speaking about Mr Mackintosh's role, Mr Patel said: "He needs to consider his position. He has a duty to the party and to its membership." Mr Mackintosh said: "I am happy to answer any questions the local party might have about the loan." A motion expressing Northampton South Conservative Association's "disappointment" will be put to its executive committee on 9 December. Those spoken to are currently out of work. Thompson would not be drawn on any potential new manager and said there is no time limit for filling the vacancy. And the chairman added United's performance under Jackie McNamara had been reviewed by the board "for a while" before he was removed as boss. The club confirmed McNamara's departure on Monday with United second bottom of the Scottish Premiership on five points following Saturday's 2-1 defeat by 10-man St Johnstone. The 41-year-old had been in charge since January 2013, winning 51 and drawing 23 of his 119 games in charge. "We're going to have think rationally and calmly and get the right person in here to run what we believe is a great opportunity for somebody," said Thompson. "Me, as chairman, I would not be bringing in someone that's never managed before. "The world's a small place, they could be from anywhere in the world." United opened this season with defeat by Aberdeen but beat Motherwell the following week. Since that win on 8 August, the Tangerines have picked up only two draws in the league, however they have progressed to the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup, where they will visit Hibernian. McNamara led United to a Scottish Cup final in 2014 and a League Cup final the following year but results overall so far in 2015 have been poor. "The board had been discussing it ongoing for a while - where we were as a club, where we think we should be and the support we had given to the manager etc," added Thompson. "It was very, very hard on a personal level because, as a chairman, you build a relationship with your manager. You speak two, three four times a day. "As a board, we decided it was the right thing for the club; We feel as though we've backed him as much as we could even to the point we signed a couple of players right at the end of the transfer window. "It's always a difficult decision to make in football." But she was swiftly replaced by Robbie Williams - whose Swings Both Ways is his 11th chart-topper. As the album chart celebrates its first millenium, we look at the records that paved the way, starting with the UK's first ever chart topper, in 1956. The first album chart was published in the Record Mirror in July 1956. It listed just five albums, and Frank Sinatra was leader of the (rat) pack. Songs For Swingin' Lovers was his 10th solo album and is still, arguably, his greatest swing collection. A challenge to the tide of rock and roll that was sweeping over America, it's a loose concept record about a man who leaves his lover and pursues a new romance. Backed by Nelson Riddle's fresh, hip arrangements, Sinatra sounded on top of the world - delivering some of his best-known performances on You Make Me Feel So Young and I've Got You Under My Skin. Given a perfect five-star review by Rolling Stone, it was the UK's number one for three weeks, and the fifth best-selling album of 1956 (number one was the soundtrack to Carousel). But albums were still niche products. Only 12 million were sold in 1956 - compared to 100.5m in 2012. It took 15 years for the 100th number one to roll around - thanks mainly to The Beatles, who spent a combined three years in pole position. But it was John Lennon who scored the chart centenary with his second solo album, Imagine. A huge commercial success both in 1971 and immediately after his murder, it is less abrasive and more fondly remembered than his debut, Plastic Ono Band. Every facet of his mercurial personality is on display: He's head-over-heels on Oh Yoko!; vulnerable on Jealous Guy; and venomous on How Do You Sleep? (a thinly-veiled character assassination of Paul McCartney). But it is the optimistic, simple title track that endures. Lennon confessed it was "anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-­conventional [and] anti-capitalistic" but "because it is sugar-coated it is accepted". "It was just what John believed," said Yoko Ono. "That we are all one country, one world, one people. He wanted to get that idea out." Released in July 1978, Boney M's Nightflight To Venus was the band's most successful record, clinging to the top spot for four weeks. It contained several global hits, including Brown Girl In The Ring and Rivers Of Babylon - but not, strangely, that year's Christmas number one, Mary's Boy Child. The band were the brainchild of German pop svengali Frank Farian (later responsible for Milli Vanilli), who reached a creative peak on this wilfully experimental third album. The seven-minute title track was a freaky space odyssey, which envisaged an interstellar journey to a terraformed planet. "It took almost 90 years to cool down the planet from its 500 degrees to the current pleasant 75 degrees, and to transform the atmosphere to make it inhabitable for Earth people," noted the narrator, over a pounding drum track based on Cozy Powell's hit Dance With The Devil. It set the record up to be a space-age disco concept album, but the idea was immediately ditched on track two - Rasputin - a deranged ode to a 19th Century Russian mystic. Compilation albums were included in the main countdown until 1989, and the Now... series regularly outsold all the competition. The third instalment was released in July 1984 and contained four number one singles - including Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Duran Duran's The Reflex. But the tracklisting also provides a few insights into the year's prevailing social issues. Special AKA's Nelson Mandela reflected the increasing disquiet over South Africa's apartheid laws, while Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel delivered a funky anti-drugs message on White Lines (Don't Do It). Other songs on the 30-strong tracklist included Queen's I Want To Break Free, Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It and The Weather Girls' wedding disco staple It's Raining Men. The sleeve starred the series' short-lived (and frankly unnecessary) porcine mascot, and exhorted fans to "complete your collection!" by purchasing the two preceding volumes, as well as their VHS and Betamax companions "for all you videoholics". Thirty years later, and the series is thriving - Now 83 was the fastest-selling album of 2012. But the most successful instalment was number 44, which kicked off with Britney Spears ...Baby, One More Time, and shifted a remarkable 2.3m copies in 1999. Selling 400,000 copies in just four days, Wild! was the second in a run of five consecutive number one albums for synthpop duo Erasure. Despite the titular exclamation mark, it was their most mature record to date, opening with a sombre piano instrumental, and taking melodic flights of fancy on the hit single Blue Savannah. At the time, frontman Andy Bell was one of the few openly gay pop stars and, while the record addressed gay themes (Drama! is about a "drama queen" who puts his friends through "one psychological drama after another"), the band were careful not to be too outrageous. "If we did an openly gay video, it wouldn't get played on MTV," Bell told Australia's Countdown magazine in 1990. "By approaching it the way we approach it - not being too aggressive or shouting at people, just showing them it's part of life but not the only thing in life - it's easy for people to deal with, and maybe there will be fewer people afraid to come out." One in every 20 chart-toppers is a "best of" album - the first being The Best Of Ball, Barber & Bilk, - a 1962 collection of jazz standards by trumpeter Kenny Ball, trombone player Chris Barber and band leader Acker Bilk. Deacon Blue's greatest hits reached number one in May 1994, featuring Scot-rock classics like Dignity, Real Gone Kid and their plaintive cover of Burt Bacharach's I'll Never Fall In Love Again. The band had survived through sudden, head-turning success and the John-and-Yoko romance between frontman Ricky Ross fell and bandmate Lorraine McIntosh. ("Nobody in a band wants the backing singer going out with the lead singer," she admitted to Scotland's Daily Record last year). But, three weeks after Our Town was released, Deacon Blue announced they were splitting up. "As George Harrison once said, all things must pass," said Ross. Now reformed, they released a new album, The Hipsters, in 2012. During the recording of I've Been Expecting You in spring 1998, producer Guy Chambers kept track of the work in -progress on a whiteboard, hung on the wall of Wheeler End studio in rural Buckinghamshire. Scrawled along the top in black marker was the legend: "Robbie Williams' difficult second album (which isn't that difficult after all)." "It's effortless, really," he told a documentary crew who turned up to film the sessions. An ebullient victory lap after the success of Angels, the album's success was equally effortless - sailing to number one, going 10x platinum and selling more than three million copies. Williams, at the peak of his fame, was so cocksure he could get away with self-aware lyrics like this, from Strong: "In the early morning when I wake up / I look like Kiss but without the make-up / And that's a good line to take it to the bridge." Singles No Regrets and She's The One still form part of his live show today. The only real misfire was the leaden, James Bond-sampling Millennium - a cynical ploy for airplay as the year 2000 approached. In total, Williams has scored 11 number ones - putting him on an even footing with Elvis. TV talent shows were hitting their stride in 2003, with Will Young, Gareth Gates, Girls Aloud and Liberty X all racking up the hits - but British indie was about to get a much-needed shot in the arm. Liverpudlians The Coral were among the first out of the gates, blazing a trail for the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Keane and Razorlight. Source: Official Charts Company The band had scored a minor hit the previous year with the jangly, Merseybeat throwback Dreaming Of You, and their second album cemented their success. Praised by the NME for its "brutally concise and beautiful pop songs", it spawned the top 10 singles Don't Think You're The First and Pass It On. But the band were taken aback by their swift rise. "The smell of money's got into everyone," singer James Skelly told the Guardian. "Sony don't have any other good bands, there's just us, so everything's being put on us. I feel like apologising to people in a way, about how in your face everything is." He needn't have worried. Their chart reign lasted a week, after which Robbie Williams' Escapology claimed the top spot. Norah Jones reached number one just three years after The Coral, a sign of the music industry's ever-decreasing attention span. The constant churn at the top of the charts also coincided with a downturn in sales, which were sinking faster than a brick in a swimming pool - from 237m in 2004, to 128m in 2009. The decline is neatly encapsulated by Norah Jones' triptych of number ones. Her debut, Come Away With Me, sold 2.4m copies in 2003. The follow-up, Feels Like Home, managed 900,000. Not Too Late, released in 2007, scraped in with sales of 100,000. A deliberate step away from the coffeehouse jazz of her earlier records, it was also Jones's first collection of original material. She made gentle stabs at politics - lamenting the re-election of President Bush in My Dear Country and portraying the US as a leaky boat in Sinkin' Soon - and, ultimately, the musical experimentation ensured her longevity. "I don't expect to sell millions of records every time. I just don't think that's gonna be possible," she told CBS news. "I feel like I've had my cake and I've eaten it and it tasted great. And I don't need another piece." Oasis set a chart record in 1997 that still stands today, when their third album Be Here Now sold 660,000 copies in seven days - the highest-first week sales in history. But, as songwriter Noel Gallagher freely admitted in the ensuing years, the bloated, cocaine-fuelled album was not his finest moment. "Just because you sell lots of records, it doesn't mean to say you're any good," he noted. "Look at Phil Collins." Time Flies was the band's swansong - a double disc anthology released the year after their acrimonious split backstage in Paris. Over 27 tracks, it sketched how the band "dragged English guitar music out of the gutter" (Noel's words) with football terrace anthems like Wonderwall and Supersonic. Oasis celebrate their 20th anniversary next year, but there is little hope of a reunion. "I don't think there's any unfinished business," Noel said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine this week. "I don't think that we left anything unsaid, do you know what I mean?" In a neat echo of Frank Sinatra's inaugural chart-topper, Robbie Williams' 1,000th number one is also a swing album. Packed with razzamatazz renditions of standards like I Wanna Be Like You and Puttin On The Ritz, it easily outsold the competition, including teen troubador Jake Bugg and boyband JLS. Swings Both Ways is Williams' second stab at the genre, and finds him in a relaxed, playful mood. Among the covers are six original songs, including the pomposity-puncturing No-One Likes A Fat Pop Star ("When I get faint, I chew through my restraints / The best meal that I've had all week," he sings). "I'm enjoying working and I couldn't come straight out with another pop album," Williams told Q Magazine. "I wanted to do something else, and that something else shaped up to be a swing-style album." The record is Williams' 11th number one - including two greatest hits - putting him on level pegging with Elvis. Only Madonna (12) and The Beatles (15) have done better. You can see details of all 1,000 UK number one albums on the Official Charts Company website. Campaigners urged people to whistle for 15 minutes in the morning at 04:30 GMT and again in the evening. The protest was thought up as a way for people to be heard without "the risk of violence", says organisers. President Idriss Deby took power in a coup in 1990 and is standing for a fifth term in the presidential elections on 10 April. A coalition of 10 civil society groups urged people to use a "citizen whistle" to demand an end to bad governance and call for political change in Chad. Paris-based human rights campaigner AbdelKerim Koundougoumi told the BBC that this is a way of protesting when people are scared of the secret police. "People stay in their homes and you cannot see who is doing it". A statement he posted on Facebook by the spokesperson of the Enough is Enough coalition, Celine Narmadji, explained that some people may not feel safe protesting. "Express your anger from your home, without the risk of violence," the statement said. She went on to urge people to whistle against injustice, impunity, nepotism, cronyism, favouritism, corruption, censorship, bribery, embezzlement of public funds and "your daily suffering to get your next meal". It comes exactly one month before the presidential elections. President Deby has been in power for 24 years and said, if he is re-elected in April, he will reinstate a clause limiting leaders to two terms. Two former prime ministers, Djimrangar Dadnadji and Nourredine Delwa Kassire Koumakoye, are also candidates. They organisers are planning to whistle again for 15 minutes at 20:00 GMT. John McCormack hit a car before carrying on with the damaged lorry on the A9 between Blair Atholl and Perth. He drove on oblivious to the trail of damage he had left until he was finally stopped by police. Perth Sheriff Court was told that McCormack could offer no reason why he drove on the wrong side of the road. Depute fiscal Stuart Richardson said motorists were heading north near the House of Bruar shopping complex when they saw McCormack heading straight for them. He said: "To their horror they saw the lorry coming south. He was on the wrong side of the road. They managed to get off the road onto the verge. "The lorry missed them, but unfortunately it continued on and a couple with three children in their car weren't so lucky. He hit the offside of their car and scraped along it." McCormack, 46, from Kilmarnock, admitted driving dangerously on the wrong side of the road on 11 April last year. He admitted failing to stop after an accident, and driving a vehicle which posed a danger because of the state it was in. A charge relating to cannabis was dropped by the Crown. Solicitor David Holmes, defending, said medical investigations had taken place and McCormack had decided to stop driving in the wake of the incident. Sheriff Fiona Tait deferred sentence for clarification of the medical condition and imposed an interim driving ban on McCormack. Sam Hallam, now 24, was jailed in 2005 for a minimum of 12 years over the death of Essayas Kassahun, 21, in Clerkenwell, central London, in 2004. The Court of Appeal, which had heard photographs on Mr Hallam's mobile phone could have helped his defence case, ruled his conviction was "unsafe". He said: "I don't want anyone else ever to suffer what I've been through." The court's judges said that for "reasons that escape us", two telephones in Mr Hallam's possession at the time of his arrest were not investigated by the police or his then defence team. There was a failure by police to investigate his alibi, and witnesses who put him at the scene of the murder were unreliable, the court heard. Fresh material in the case included evidence from an acquitted co-accused who said Mr Hallam was not present at the scene and post-trial evidence from Mr Hallam's mobile telephone which showed his true whereabouts on the evening of the crime. In a statement read outside court by Paul May, who led the campaign to free him, Mr Hallam added: "The identification evidence against me was so unreliable it should have never been put to the jury. "The Metropolitan Police should have followed up leads which would have proved my innocence of the terrible murder of Essayas Kassahun. Lisa Hampele, BBC News Court number eight was heaving. People spilled out into the corridor, reporters had to sit on the floor, and the public gallery was full. Lady Justice Hallett took more than an hour to read out the judgement. In a surprise move, Sam Hallam was freed on bail yesterday, when prosecutors said they were not opposing his appeal. Then, he was dazed. But today he sported a new haircut, an ironed shirt - and a huge smile. Sitting next to his mother, Wendy, he listened carefully as the reasons for his release were gone through in great detail. When the judgement came, the reaction was loud. Supporters stood, cheered and shouted "justice has been done". Mr Hallam calmly sipped from a bottle of water - and looked at his mum. "They should have disclosed all the relevant evidence in their possession to my lawyers and they didn't. "I now need time to recover with my family and friends from the nightmare I've suffered for the last seven-and-a-half years. "Justice has long been denied to me but it has now finally prevailed." Mr Hallam, who lost a conviction appeal in 2007, also thanked the Criminal Cases Review Commission and Thames Valley Police for the "thorough investigation" they carried out into his case. He was released on bail by the Court of Appeal on Wednesday after prosecutors said they would not oppose his appeal. Lady Justice Hallett, who delivered the court's judgement, said Mr Hallam's "inability or unwillingness" to say where he was at the time of the murder had "not exactly helped his case". But she added: "Given the attachment of young people and the more mature to their mobile phones, we can't understand why someone, either from the investigating team or the defence team, did not think to examine the phones attributable to the appellant. "Given our limited knowledge, we would have thought that, even a cursory check would have produced some interesting results. "Further, we would have thought the appellant would have alerted the defence team that he had been taking photos on a new phone which would have helped establish his whereabouts." Lady Justice Hallett also told the court that one eyewitness account had been a "fleeting glimpse" and there was scope for mistaken identity. "We now have therefore the real possibility that the failed alibi was consistent with faulty recollection and dysfunctional lifestyle and not a deliberate lie." She said: "In our judgment, the cumulative effect of these facts is enough to undermine the safety of these convictions." A spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the decision to prosecute had been made on the evidence then available, including from eyewitnesses. She said: "In its judgment, the Court of Appeal did not criticise the CPS for bringing the prosecution. "It is now clear that there was other evidence which, in the Court of Appeal's view, has undermined the safety of the conviction of Sam Hallam." Mr Hallam, of Hoxton, east London, was 18 when he received a life sentence for the murder of trainee chef Mr Kassahun, who died after being stabbed in the head during an attack by a group of youths on the St Luke's estate in October 2004. At the trial the following year, Mr Hallam and Bullabek Ringbiong, then 20, from Hoxton, were both jailed for murder. Scott White, 17, also from Hoxton, was convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm and was sentenced to eight years' youth detention. In total, six people went on trial for the killing. Since his conviction, Mr Hallam's family and friends have waged a high-profile campaign for justice, with supporters including actor Ray Winstone, who has criticised the police's handling of the case. The Metropolitan Police said it was "a matter of deep regret that Sam Hallam lost his liberty" due to an unsafe conviction. Commander Simon Foy, head of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: "The death of Essayas Kassahun was a tragedy and what followed was a complex investigation for which one person remains convicted." He said the circumstances of the crime involved a large group of people and this type of investigation often relied on people coming forward to give personal accounts. He added: "We continue to face challenging investigations such as these and there are undoubtedly certain lessons to be learned for police and the wider criminal justice system from today's judgement." The woman, believed to be in her 30s, was found dead at a house on Bankholme Court in the Holmewood area at 16:20 GMT on Monday. West Yorkshire Police said the woman had not been named and a post mortem examination would be held later. Officers said the inquiry was still at an "early stage" but the two men, aged 33 and 42, remained in custody. Last summer was one of the bloodiest in the Muslim-dominated valley in recent years. Following the killing of influential militant Burhan Wani by Indian forces last July, more than 100 civilians lost their lives in clashes during a four-month-long security lockdown in the valley. It's not looking very promising this summer. This month's parliamentary election in Srinagar was scarred by violence and a record-low turnout of voters. To add fuel to the fire, graphic social videos surfaced claiming to show abuses by security forces and young people who oppose Indian rule. A full-blown protest by students has now erupted on the streets; and, in a rare sight, even schoolgirls are throwing stones and hitting police vehicles. Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who leads an awkward ruling coalition with the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), rushed to Delhi on Monday to urge the federal government to "announce a dialogue and show reconciliatory gestures". Reports say Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh told her that they could not "offer a dialogue with separatists and other restive groups in the valley" while fierce violence and militant attacks continued. Former chief minister and leader of the regional National Conference party Farooq Abdullah warned India that it was "losing Kashmir". What Mr Abdullah suggested was unexceptionable: the government should begin talking with the stakeholders - Pakistan, the separatists, mainstream parties, the minority Kashmiri Hindus - and start "thinking of not a military solution, but a political way". With more than 500,000 security forces in the region, India is unlikely to lose territory in Kashmir. But Shekhar Gupta, a leading columnist, says that while Kashmir is "territorially secure, we are fast losing it emotionally and psychologically". The abysmal 7% turnout in the Srinagar poll proved that "while your grip on the land is firm, you are losing its people". So what is new about Kashmir that is worrying India and even provoking senior army officials to admit that the situation is fragile? For one, a more reckless and alienated younger generation of local youth is now leading the anti-India protests. More than 60% of the men in the valley are under 30. Many of them are angry and confused. Ajaz, a 19-year-old student in Budgam, told me that hope had evaporated for his generation "in face of Indian oppression" and he and his friends did not "fear death". When I took him aside after a while to ask about his ambitions in life, he said he wanted to become a bureaucrat and serve Kashmir. "It is wrong to say that the Kashmiri youth has become fearless. He just feels alienated, sidelined and humiliated. When he feels like that, fear takes a backseat, and he becomes reckless. This is irrational behaviour," National Conference leader Junaid Azim Mattoo told me. Secondly, the new younger militants are educated and come from relatively well-off families. Wani, the militant who was killed last July, headed a prominent rebel group and came from a highly-educated upper-class Kashmiri family: his father is a government school teacher. Wani's younger brother, Khalid, who was killed by security forces in 2013, was a student of political science. The new commander of the rebel group, Zakir Rashid Bhat, studied engineering in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh. Thirdly, the two-year-old ruling alliance, many say, has been unable to deliver on its promises. An alliance between a regional party which advocates soft separatism (PDP) and a federal Hindu nationalist party (BJP), they believe, makes for the strangest bedfellows, hobbled by two conflicting ideologies trying to work their way together in a contested, conflicted land. Fourthly, the government's message on Kashmir appears to be backfiring. When Mr Modi recently said the youth in Kashmir had to choose between terrorism and tourism, many Kashmiris accused him of trivialising their "protracted struggle". When BJP general secretary Ram Madhav told a newspaper that his government "would have choked" the valley people if it was against them, many locals said it was proof of the government's arrogance. Fifth, the shrill anti-Muslim rhetoric by radical Hindu groups and incidents of cow protection vigilantes attacking Muslim cattle traders in other parts of India could end up further polarising people in the valley. "The danger," a prominent leader told me, "is that the moderate Kashmiri Muslim is becoming sidelined, and he is being politically radicalised." The security forces differ and say they are actually worried about rising "religious radicalisation" among the youth in the valley. A top army official in Kashmir, Lt-Gen JS Sadhu, told a newspaper that the "public support to terrorists, their glorification and increased radicalisation are issues of concern". One army official told me that religious radicalisation was a "bigger challenge than stone pelting protesters". He said some 3,000 Saudi-inspired Wahhabi sect mosques had sprung up in Kashmir in the past decade. Most Kashmiris say the government should be more worried about "political radicalisation" of the young, and that fears of religious radicalisation were exaggerated and overblown. Also, the low turnout in this month's elections has rattled the region's mainstream parties. "If mainstream politics is delegitimised and people refuse to vote for them, the vacuum will be obviously filled up with a disorganised mob-led constituency," Mr Mattoo of the National Conference said. In his memoirs, Amarjit Singh Daulat, the former chief of India's spy agency RAW wrote that "nothing is constant; least of all Kashmir". But right now, the anomie and anger of the youth, and a worrying people's revolt against Indian rule, appear to be the only constants. The airline said the move would benefit both business travellers and tourists wanting to connect with destinations across Europe. Easyjet currently runs two flights per day between Inverness and Gatwick. But starting on 27 March it will operate a third flight on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. It also plans to increase flights on its Inverness to Luton service. At the moment there is a daily service but next summer there will be two flights a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Easyjet said this would make an additional 24,000 seats available between 27 March and 26 June next year. Rogers Mulindwa, the Cecafa Media Officer, told BBC Sport: "I can now confirm that it is impossible for us to stage the tournaments this year." Kenya had accepted to host the two events but pulled out for what they called lack of sponsors. Sudan had initially been selected to host the Challenge Cup, while Tanzania was meant to host the Kagame Club Championship but both countries withdrew. EL Mnan Osama Atta, treasurer of the Sudan Football Federation, had hoped the government would provide the financial assistance for the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup to go ahead in December but revealed to BBC Sport "the government told us it was not possible". Beneath the carpet is a mesh of optical fibres that detect and plot movement as pressure bends them, changing the light detected at the carpet's edges. These deflected light patterns help electronics "learn" walking patterns and detect if they are deteriorating, for instance in the elderly. The carpet was demonstrated at the Photon12 conference in Durham, UK. The optical fibre network at the heart of the effort makes use of the same types of fibres that transmit data to homes and across oceans, in which light bounces along the fibres' length. To make them sensitive to the deflection caused by pressure, the researchers carved grooves in the fibres along their length so that the bouncing of the light was less efficient at the point where pressure was applied. Detectors at the carpet's edge convert the light into electrical signals which are then analysed by a computer. That analysis borrows heavily from technology developed at the university for use with medical scanners. The developers of the network, based at the University of Manchester in the UK, see its primary use in care homes or hospital wards, to raise an immediate alarm in the case of a fall. The fibres can be easily retro-fitted beneath existing carpet, and future applications could stretch to private homes as well. The researchers' aim is to address the significant number of falls experienced by the elderly; it is a leading cause of mortality among over-70s and falls cost the NHS millions each day. They believe their system can be used to build up a profile of movement patterns for given individuals, so that any deterioration in mobility can be monitored and possibly used as an early warning system for falls. "Falls are a really important problem for our ageing society," said Chris Todd, professor of of primary care and community health at the university's department of nursing. "More than a third of older people fall each year, and in nursing and residential homes it is much more common than that. "So being able to identify changes in people's walking patterns and gait in the natural environment, such as in a corridor in a nursing home, could really help us identity problems earlier on." Many students have been arrested after the brutal attack in the northern city of Mardan, and the campus has been closed. Reports suggest that two young men were accused of posting offensive content on Facebook. One survived with injuries. Blasphemy is a highly sensitive and incendiary issue in Pakistan. Critics say blasphemy laws, which allow the death penalty in some cases, are often misused to oppress minorities. There have been other cases where people accused of it have been killed by an angry crowd. The murdered student has been identified as Mashal Khan, who studied journalism. Some reports say he was shot, while others say he was beaten to death with planks. "He was badly tortured after being shot at a close range... He was beaten with sticks, bricks and hands," senior police official Niaz Saeed told the AFP news agency. Hundreds of people were involved, the officer said. Graphic video footage of the incident has emerged online. Police had not been investigating the two accused men, nor had any case been filed against them, and the mob appeared to have acted on rumours, the Dawn newspaper reports. Last month Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif voiced his support for a wide-ranging crackdown on blasphemous content on social media. In a statement on his party's official Twitter account, he described blasphemy as an "unpardonable offence". An official at Abdul Wali Khan University who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mr Khan was disliked by other students for his liberal and secular views. At least 65 people have been murdered in Pakistan after being accused of blasphemy since 1990, a recent think tank report said.

Saul was the leading scorer, with five goals, at the recent European Under-21 Championship in Poland, in which Spain reached the final, losing to Germany. British European Airways was the first operator to fly from Terminal 1 when it was opened by the Queen in May 1968. The final departure is also due to be a British Airways flight, this time to Hanover. Its closure will allow Terminal 2 to be expanded and comes in the week the Airport Commission decides whether to permit a third runway at Heathrow. A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said the industry expected Sir Howard Davies's report on airport expansion to be published later this week. At its peak, more than nine million passengers a year passed through Terminal 1, which was the largest short-haul terminal in Western Europe. In recent weeks, flights have been transferred to Terminal 2 and passengers numbers have fallen to just 1,700 and 17 flights a day. Terminal 2 will be expanded to take the place of Terminal 1 and if the government supports a third runway at Heathrow then Terminal 2 will be extended further still. Heathrow chief executive John Holland Kaye said; "The closure of Terminal 1 marks another important milestone in the transformation of Heathrow. "Terminal 1 has served Britain well for nearly 50 years, but will soon make way for the expansion of Terminal 2, giving Britain a world class airport that we can all be proud of." Sekajja, 21, has been training with the Highland side for two weeks and has impressed manager John Hughes. He spent time at MK Dons in 2012, but was restricted to just one appearance. "We've had our eye on Ibra for some time. He has really impressed with his hunger for the game," said Hughes. Ugandan-born Sekajja scored once in three appearances for Palace and also had short loan spells at Kettering, Bromley and Barnet. A judge at Birmingham Crown Court told Costco store manager Roger Cooper, 41, and ex-soldier David Cooper, 39, they must serve at least 30 years for killing 34-year-old Sameena Imam. Ms Imam had been having a two-year affair with Roger Cooper and issued him with an ultimatum to leave his partner. Her body was discovered buried in an allotment in Leicester in January. An eight-week trial heard Roger Cooper spent at least a month plotting to kill Ms Imam - one of his three lovers - to prevent her exposing their affair. The men bought poisonous metals, identified a shallow grave and communicated in text messages written in a Star Wars-based code before killing Ms Imam. Ms Imam is believed to have been overpowered on a sofa at David Cooper's home in Leicester after being driven to the property from Coventry by his brother. She was reported missing by family members in Essex after failing to return home for Christmas, sparking a major police inquiry. Jailing the pair, Judge Patrick Thomas QC told the siblings: "The use of a poison in a case such as this demonstrates a cold-blooded intention to kill, regardless of the consequences. "You worked together, hand in glove, in planning and carrying out the murder of a joyful and bubbly young woman, brutally betrayed by a man she loved and his brother." After a jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts on Tuesday, the detective leading the murder hunt described the killing as "the most callous offence" she had ever investigated. "Most murders that occur are spontaneous events driven by anger or jealousy, whereas in this case what we uncovered was weeks and weeks of planning to kill Sameena, numerous attempts on her life and a really unusual cause of death," said Det Chf Insp Caroline Marsh. After the conviction, Ms Imam's family said nothing could have prepared them for discovering she had been murdered. In a statement, her father Imam Din said: "As a family we are absolutely devastated at the loss of Sameena. "It is hard for us to even imagine that an innocent, kind, beautiful girl could be murdered, let alone our daughter. "We are still in shock and we are all missing Sameena in so many different ways." Shay McCartan was the match-winner for the hosts, heading home from Matty Pearson's cross in injury time. Plymouth had gone ahead in the 23rd minute through Jake Jervis, who nodded in Graham Carey's cross. Stanley were level in the 85th minute after Kelvin Mellor saw red for pushing Billy Kee, who converted the penalty, before McCartan's strike. Accrington move up to fifth place, five points above Wycombe in eighth, while the Pilgrims stay third. Jay Whiston was 17 years old when he was murdered by Edward Redman in Colchester in 2012. Jay's mother Caroline Shearer, of Clacton, became an active campaigner on the dangers of knife crime after her son's death. She said she had decided to stand as an independent for the Clacton seat, which has been held by Douglas Carswell. LIVE: For more on this and other Essex stories In her message on Facebook, Mrs Shearer said: "I've gone and done it. "I will now be intending to stand for Independent MP for Clacton and Tendring. "I'm not interested in what other parties have done. It is about what we can do. "I've created a charity to help reduce crime in the community. That's been my life since my son died. "I'm now prepared to hand that all over so I can help people." She said she wanted to try and solve the various problems in the Tendring area of north east Essex. Former major UKIP donor Mr Banks admitted earlier this week knowing "nothing" about Clacton despite announcing he would be standing for election there. He has not confirmed which party he will stand for. Following his announcement, the incumbent Mr Carswell, an independent who previously represented UKIP and the Conservatives, said he would not be seeking re-election. Talbot, 67, was convicted at Lanark Sheriff Court of seven charges of indecent assault. The offences, against boys aged 15 to 17, took place between 1978 and 1981. They happened during separate trips to two locations - one near Moffat in southern Scotland, and one on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness. The four-year sentence will start on 14 August, at the end of the punishment part of a five-year jail term Talbot is already serving for previous sex offences. Sheriff Nikola Stewart said the former This Morning presenter had taken advantage of the innocence of his victims. She told Talbot the boys "all trusted and all liked you". Sheriff Stewart added: "They were keen to go on the camping trips and sailing trips that you organised, both informally and as official school trips. "That trust and affection was grossly abused by you on repeated occasions as you preyed upon these young boys - some away from home and away from parental care for the first time, and all utterly unsuspecting of the sexual threat you posed to them." Talbot was a regular on the floating weather map in Liverpool's Albert Dock for ITV's This Morning show during the late 1980s and early 1990s. At the time of the attacks, he was a biology teacher at a school in the Manchester area and took boys away on camping and boating trips. During the trial, a succession of witnesses, now men in their 50s who cannot be named for legal reasons, told how Talbot abused his position of trust. One man told the court he was indecently assaulted as a teenage boy after a visit to a pub on a camping trip left him "very much the worse for wear". A further witness said he was left "petrified" when Talbot indecently assaulted him on a trip to the Caledonian Canal in 1979. Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown, 54, who was not an alleged victim, also gave evidence at the trial and said he had never forgotten the moment Talbot invited one of his young friends to sleep in his tent on a school camping trip. Talbot was previously jailed for five years at Manchester Crown Court in 2015 for the indecent assault of two 14-year-old boys. NSPCC Scotland described Talbot as "a prolific abuser who carried out a series of attacks on children in his care". A spokesman for the charity said: "Thanks to the bravery of his victims, he has again been brought to justice. "Abuse ruins childhoods. Talbot used his position of trust as a teacher to prey on his victims and the attacks he carried out will have had long-lasting effects on them into adulthood. "We hope the sentence imposed on him will help his victims finally overcome what happened to them. "This case shows once again how important it is that those who have suffered abuse are able to come forward and see justice done." The former Florida governor's new handgun, inscribed with his name on the slide, has been re-tweeted more than 19,000 times and met with widespread mockery around the world. Bush tweeted a picture of his gun alongside the word "America", seeking to burnish his pro-gun credentials and patriotism as his campaign moves into the conservative state of South Carolina. But if the USA is defined by its relationship to firearms, Twitter provided the answer for how best to represent other countries across the world. British comedian Joe Lycett put forward this entry for the UK. Mike Landers suggested that pies and curry would better represent some of Britain's cities. Professor Herman van de Wernfhorst, a sociology professor from the University of Amsterdam suggested this for the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Ingo Bousa from Bristol thought that Denmark could present a more peaceful interpretation of Jeb Bush's tweet. But as the rest of the world gently mocked Jeb Bush, some conservative supporters in America showed their appreciation by tweeting pictures of handguns. Science fiction writer John Joseph Adams decided that if his country was going to be defined by one weapon, then he wanted to highlight the impact of other weapons on fictional cultures. "I never thought that my most re-tweeted tweet would consist of one word, a Twitter handle and a picture of a lightsaber" he wrote after his picture of the Star Wars memorabilia was shared more than 1,700 times. Other science fiction fans were quick to follow Adams's lead. Lisa Morton from Washington DC tweeted a Star Trek disruptor. Others thought the Doctor should get involved. Or that Jeb Bush could use some magical assistance with his campaign. Jeb Bush is pulling out all the stops to revive his flagging campaign to become the Republican presidential nominee, with his brother, former President George W Bush, joining him in on the campaign trail in South Carolina. He can only hope that the online reaction to his tweet will help help him catch up with frontrunner Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who won the New Hampshire and Iowa contests respectively. Written by Hannah Henderson The circumstances that led to this crushing advantage were not completely to do with Hamilton's superiority, but as an illustration of the gulf between the two title rivals on this day, it was as good as any. There were others, though, too. In the soaking wet first 15 laps of the race, when Hamilton was bottled up behind Rosberg, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo built a 13-second lead on the two Mercedes. Once the German let him through following a team order, Hamilton pulled 10 seconds on the other Mercedes in five laps, as well as eating slowly into Ricciardo's lead. After Rosberg stopped to fit intermediate tyres on lap 20, he was unable to pull clear of a train of cars featuring two Force Indias and Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari, despite his car's theoretical performance advantage. In the course of the next round of pit stops to fit dry-weather slicks, partly because of a slow stop, Rosberg lost places to both Force India's Sergio Perez and Vettel, and found himself behind the McLaren of Fernando Alonso. Which he was unable to pass for the remaining 46 laps. He was then mugged on the last lap by Perez's team-mate Nico Hulkenberg to finish an eventual seventh. It was not, to say the least, one of Rosberg's better days. Hamilton, meanwhile, drove one of his greatest races to take his first victory since he clinched the title in Austin in late October last year, and finally got his 2016 title campaign off the ground. The tide was always going to turn sooner or later; Hamilton's luck, dreadful so far this season, always going to change eventually. When it did, it came in the most dispiriting fashion for Rosberg, who throughout the Monaco weekend was reminded in the starkest terms of his team-mate's inherent superiority as a grand prix driver. Media playback is not supported on this device It started in the first half-hour of first practice, with a series of laps by Hamilton that emphasised his innate feel and sensitivity on one of the most challenging race tracks in the world. For most of those 30 minutes, each driver got progressively faster as they built up speed and came to terms with the proximity of the walls and the quirks of the Monaco track for the first time in a year. The difference was that Hamilton was well over a second - sometimes nearly two - quicker than Rosberg. No sooner would Rosberg make the margin more respectable than Hamilton would move the goalposts again. This sort of thing is seen from Hamilton a lot, but it is never more stark than in these sorts of circumstances, which emphasise naked talent much more than similar situations on more modern, sanitised tracks. Eventually, Rosberg got down to within 0.1-0.2secs of Hamilton, as he generally does. But the point had been made. One suspects it was done deliberately, as if to say, "Mate, you might have a 43-point lead in the championship, but can you do this? Didn't think so. That's what you're up against." Later that afternoon, Mercedes received a shock in the form of the pace of Ricciardo's Red Bull, which was clearly quicker than them. Part of their solution to that in terms of changes to the car was to give it a bit more oversteer - or pointy-ness - in a bid to aid rotation into corners. Rosberg, sources close to him say, was never that comfortable with the car after that. This could well be at least part of the explanation for Rosberg's lack of pace in the wet first part of the race. He said he felt "a complete lack of confidence in the car". He didn't dare go near the limit, he said, otherwise he would have hit the barriers. He was at a loss to explain what had gone on, but it seems likely this may well have led to a vicious downward spiral of contributing factors. Not being pushed hard, the tyres would lose heat and pressure. Which would mean he was not able to work the brakes as hard as normal. Which would explain the brake temperature problems he experienced. Which would further take the tyres out of their ideal window. And so on. Somehow, despite being held to Rosberg's pace behind him, Hamilton managed to keep his tyres and brakes in their window so that the pace was immediately there when Mercedes made the only call they could and ordered Rosberg to let him by. Rosberg said it was "simple" to accept it, albeit "painful", knowing that the reason it had been made was that otherwise Mercedes were throwing away any chance of winning. But it says a lot for him that he responded to it with alacrity and equanimity, knowing that he was almost certainly consigning himself to losing a significant chunk of his points advantage to Hamilton, who was right to thank him publicly for being a gentleman afterwards. If his struggles in the race came at an awkward time for a man in the middle of negotiations over a new contract, his behaviour in this situation will have gone a long way to counteracting the impact of his performance. Once released, Hamilton drove a superb race, matched only by Ricciardo, his only rival for victory. He and his engineers gambled on staying out on the 'extreme' wet tyres when everyone else stopped for intermediates, knowing that was their only way of getting into the lead. Impressively, on a drying track, on heavily treaded tyres that were now more than 20 laps old, Hamilton was lapping not far off the pace - and sometimes more or less on it - that Rosberg was doing on the intermediate tyres behind him. While managing to hold off a charging Ricciardo at the same time. He finally bailed on those tyres after 31 laps. At this point, the valiant gamble should have failed, but the race was handed to him when Red Bull made another terrible strategic fumble - their second in two races. Ricciardo stopped for slick tyres the next time around, and a stunning in-lap, combined with Hamilton's slow out lap, should have got him comfortably out into the lead, which would almost certainly have become a well-deserved victory. But because of what Red Bull team boss Christian Horner described as a "communication error", the tyres Ricciardo's engineer chose for the car were at the back of the garage, and a pit stop from the Keystone Cops followed, losing 10 seconds. Ricciardo exited the pits as Hamilton flew by into the first corner. And this was the next superlative part of Hamilton's race. Now it was his turn to struggle. Ricciardo, one of the most improvisational overtakers in F1, was clearly faster. But the Mercedes held the Red Bull back. The closest it got was on lap 37, when at one of several re-starts after periods of the virtual safety car, Ricciardo pressured Hamilton into braking too late and going in to the chicane too shallow and deep. He cut a part of the corner, lost momentum on the exit and had to give the Red Bull a bit of a chop on the harbour front to keep it behind. On another day, he might have been penalised for gaining an advantage by going off the track - Ricciardo certainly felt it worth a question. But the stewards felt it to be within the bounds of acceptability and did the F1 equivalent of waving play on. Ricciardo never got as close again. Suddenly Hamilton was setting fastest laps, and it became clear he had been measuring out his tyre life to ensure they made the distance - which was a stretch given the 45 laps they were being asked to do. All in all, it was a weekend that emphasised the difference between a very good driver and a great one. At 24 points, Rosberg still has a substantial lead. But Monaco was a reminder that in these sorts of races, when steady progression through a weekend is thrown out of the window, when the weather throws up a wildcard, when drivers have to adapt on the hoof, when the car is difficult, Hamilton is more often than not on another level to Rosberg. He has continued to deny it whenever asked, but Rosberg must know that this year may well be the best chance he ever gets to win a world championship. It is hard to imagine that circumstances will ever again conspire in the way misfortune has hit Hamilton this year to give Rosberg a 43-point lead after five races. Whenever the size of his advantage has been pointed out to him this year, he has generally responded by saying Hamilton is still as quick as ever and will inevitably bounce back. In Monaco, it happened, and the brutal nature of it cannot have done other than knock Rosberg back. He is a resilient man, who has bounced back from worse than this. But how Rosberg responds - to this and to the extra threat of a now-resurgent Red Bull - will be a significant aspect of what defines the rest of the season, and how effectively he manages to keep Hamilton at bay. If indeed he can. The event at the TPC Louisiana was shortened to three rounds after several delays due to rain and thunderstorms. Stuard, 33, was level at 15 under with compatriot Jamie Lovemark and South Korean An Byeong-hun after 54 holes. He won at the second extra hole, the par-five 18th, after a superb third shot to three feet led to a birdie. After disruption on both Thursday and Saturday, only three hours of play were possible on Sunday because of further bad weather. When the tournament resumed on Monday, world number one Jason Day had four birdies in six holes in a closing 66 to finish two shots off the lead.

Jo Healey reports from Lincolnshire. Watch more Must See videos here Harry Starrett was found unconscious in a milking parlour on his grandparent's farm on Ballynahonemore Road, just outside Armagh city, on Tuesday. An ambulance was called to the farm at 17:15 BST but the child died. Canon John McKegney said preliminary results of a post mortem examination suggest the cause of death was natural. He said the tests had ruled out initial reports that the child may have been overcome by slurry gases. The death is still the subject of a farm investigation by the Health and Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI). Canon John McKegney, told the BBC: "It has been reported that it was fumes, but actually he wasn't anywhere near the slurry pit, he was in the milking parlour. "Before the cattle came in he was pulling down the clusters, which is something he often did and helped his grandfather in that way. "When his grandfather went in, just after him, he was lying unconscious and never recovered." Canon McKegney is a retired minister from St Mark's Parish Church in Armagh and will conduct Harry's funeral later this week. He described the child as a "bright, cheerful" boy. "(He was) full of beans, full of life full of joy and someone who absolutely idolised the farm," he said. Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said: "I was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of this young boy. "My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends at this difficult time." DUP councillor Freda Donnelly, who knows the family well, said: "Harry was a lovely, friendly, happy-go-lucky wee boy who just loved farming. "The family are very well known and highly respected in the area. Anyone I have spoken to is absolutely devastated. The death of a child is every parent's worst nightmare." President of the Ulster Farmers Union Harry Sinclair said everyone was in a state of shock. "Our thoughts go to that family and the whole agriculture community will be thinking of that family," he said. Lord Mayor of Armagh Robert Turner said: "The entire area is in a state of shock that a six-year-old boy has lost his life," he said. "I know his family and I wish to pass on my sincere condolences." Cathal Boylan, who is an Sinn Féin MLA for the Newry and Armagh area, described the death as "an absolute tragedy". "Both I and my Sinn Féin colleagues, and indeed the whole community, will be thinking of this child's family in the days and weeks ahead," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device Benn, 53, and Collins, 52, have told BBC Sport they have agreed to meet again, 21 years after their last fight. "If it was a charity match, the British Boxing Board of Control might turn a blind eye," said Bunce. "But neither would make enough money." Benn told 5 live there were "other avenues" for getting a licence. British fighters David Haye and Dereck Chisora obtained clearance from Luxembourg's boxing federation prior to their fight at Upton Park in July 2012. "They will not fight in this country under BBBofC rules," said Bunce. "You can forget that. "That means it will take place under a Maltese licence or some other foreign body." Londoner Benn feels he could convince the BBBofC that he is fit enough to compete. But Dublin-born Collins, who beat Benn twice in 1996, and leading promoter Eddie Hearn do not think the organisation will sanction the fight. BBBofC general secretary Robert Smith said on Thursday that neither Benn nor Collins had applied for a licence to fight again. He said the only age limit imposed on those applying is they must be over 18, but added: "The older you get, the more unlikely it is." Smith said he would be "surprised" if anyone wanted to promote the fight. The BBBofC seeks to "minimise risk" and ensure boxers are "fully prepared" when giving the go-ahead for them to compete. Obtaining a licence involves a series of administrative tasks but, more importantly, fighters must also pass brain scans, medicals and blood-testing. Both Benn and Collins say they are healthy. Bunce said: "They are in sensational shape. Nigel Benn has been as fit for 21 years since he left the ring as Steve Collins has since he left the ring, and they left the ring just 11 months apart. "They have been close to having fights. Two weeks ago they sat together at a dinner and the penny dropped. "What is good about this is both of them know they can only fight men of the same age, with the same amount of decline, stamina loss and power loss. "They are peak for their age but they are their age. At some point, after five or 10 minutes, they will be blowing hard." Collins says his motivation is purely financial, while Benn hopes to find "closure" from boxing and insists he is fitter than late in a career which ended with his second defeat by Collins. But his son Conor, who is unbeaten in six fights as a welterweight, feels Benn should "leave it" and says he would refuse to work in his corner on fight night. Collins' son, Steve Collins Jr, is also a boxer and has lost just one of his 12 fights at light-heavyweight. After BBC Sport published news of the potential bout involving his father, he tweeted: "When I'm 50-something and have a mid-life crisis, I will just buy a new motorbike. You get me." Hearn, who oversees Matchroom Sport's boxing events, told Sky Sports: "It would be almost sad to see those guys return to the ring. "Nigel is in great shape. I watched him growing up and he's one of my favourite fighters of all time. "For me, sit on the sofa and enjoy the legacy you created in this sport." Harry Clarke, 58, is accused of driving a car on 20 September despite losing his licence for medical reasons. Mr Clarke blacked out while driving a council lorry which crashed in Glasgow city centre on 22 December last year. He had previously fainted while working as a bus driver but failed disclose it when he joined the council. A Police Scotland spokesman said: "A 58-year-old man was arrested in connection with alleged traffic offences. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal." Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, all from Dumbarton, died in the bin lorry crash in the city's Queen Street and George Square. Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed when the truck mounted the pavement before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel. A further 15 people were injured. A fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the deaths heard DVLA officials withdrew Mr Clarke's car licence for 12 months and banned him from driving HGVs for 10 years on 25 June this year.

The Englishman, who has two years left on his current deal, prioritised a family holiday over fresh talks after their Scottish Cup final loss to Hibs. "We opened the discussion and then I had to have some family time," he said. "I had 10 days overseas, three days at home, seven days at St George's Park and then back here. It's nothing more than two parties being very busy." Warburton, who led Rangers to the Championship title, the Challenge Cup and a Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic in his first season at Ibrox, said he expected contract talks to resume "in the coming days". "Apart from being very close to divorce, it was just some family time," he joked. "The board and the owner, you see how busy they are with club business and taking the club forward." The 53-year-old former City trader, regularly linked with English clubs, dismissed any suggestions the pressure of managing in Glasgow had made him consider his long-term future. "It was an enjoyable season," he said. "If you can't enjoy winning a championship, winning the Challenge Cup, getting to a final, having a semi-final against Celtic, then don't be in the business. "I heard it in the City about burnout. Nonsense. Enjoy it. I'm in a very privileged position, it's a great opportunity, a fantastic club. "Of course there's pressure but you just have to enjoy it and recognise it's part and parcel of the job." The former Brentford manager has already recruited former QPR team-mates Joey Barton and Clint Hill, with another - Niko Kranjcar - expected in Glasgow for a medical on Wednesday. Liverpool youngster Jordan Rossiter and Accrington duo Matt Crooks and Josh Windass have also arrived, but Warburton hopes to make several more signings. "We need three or four more and we are very close to two or three, which I hope will get done in the next few days, and then maybe one more later in the window," he said. "We looked at last season and probably lacked a bit of experience, maturity and ruggedness, and I think in Joey Barton and Clint Hill we have got that. "But I like young, hungry players with good development potential and in Jordan Rossiter, Matt Crooks and Josh (Windass) we have got that. The balance is good." Warburton refused to discuss former Tottenham midfielder Kranjcar, who was most recently with New York Cosmos. But he did reveal a goalkeeper - with back-up Cammy Bell on the verge of a move to Dundee United - midfielder and striker were on his shopping list. "We need cover," he added. "We went through last season with two full-backs. Lee Wallace and James Tav (Tavernier) played nearly every minute of every game. "All credit to them and the support staff, but we were exposed. We have to have a bit more depth and quality, but make sure they are people who buy into what we are trying to do and recognise the responsibility of playing for Rangers. "The games will be more physical, the demands and intensity will be higher. We recognise there are some very good teams in the division." Nabila Nanfuka, 22, and Laurene-Danielle Jackson, 19, were killed at the Lava and Ignite nightclub in Northampton in October 2011. Northampton County Hall heard there were 14 calls in 30 minutes alerting clubbers to departing coaches. Jurors have also seen footage of people climbing over each other to escape. A witness who helped organised the event, Koyode Ossai, admitted that universities had not been told to stagger arrival times. Previously, the jury heard between 03:10 BST and 03:40 BST, DJs repeatedly told clubbers to "leave now or you will miss your coach" - he said that those who failed to get on a coach would be left in Northampton and explained there was no room in the Travelodge or the Holiday Inn. The DJ said "Don't forget your coach will leave you, your coach will leave you." The coroner asked Mr Ossai if anyone had told the DJ to say this to which he replied: "No-one would have been instructed to say all of that." CCTV showed hundreds of people packed together. Police identified individuals and showed how they were unable to progress in any direction. Witnesses who had attended the club have described how they heard calls for their coaches and rushed from the dance floor to the exit where they became caught in a crush of people. No criminal charges have been brought against anyone following the crush. Ms Nanfuka, from Neasden in north London, died at Northampton General Hospital on 19 October. Ms Jackson, from Wembley, died at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital on 6 November. Both were found unconscious on the stairs inside the club and died as a result of asphyxia. The inquest should last for three weeks. Among his kit were a hat of brown bear skin and a quiver made from roe deer. Despite being well preserved and studied, the 5,300-year-old mummy's various leather items had not all been identified at the species level. These findings, published in Scientific Reports, reveal a mix of wild-hunted animals with sheep, goat and cattle related to modern domestic breeds. The researchers say this points to Copper Age people choosing carefully between different wild and domesticated animals when looking for materials to make their clothes. But Oetzi's motley wardrobe, including a coat made from at least four separate goat and sheep hides, could also suggest a more haphazard and desperate approach - stitching together whatever scraps of skin were available. "It clarifies what we already knew - that the Iceman was an agropastoralist; that the majority the food and resources that he used were of domestic origin," said the paper's first author Niall O'Sullivan, a PhD student at University College Dublin based at the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman in Bolzano, Italy. "But we also know, from earlier experiments, that he supplemented his living with food from wild sources. His last meal was composed of ibex and red deer. "Our study shows that, as well as for food, for the manufacturing of leather he also used both wild and domestic animals." The Iceman's belongings that the team pinpointed were: These various leathers were all identified based on mitochondrial DNA - the separate, smaller genome found in the tiny compartments that turn food into energy inside living cells. When Oetzi was discovered in 1991, famously well preserved in the ice of the Italian Alps, this type of ancient DNA analysis was impossible. "25 years ago, the study of ancient DNA was in its infancy," Mr O'Sullivan told BBC News. "It would not have been possible to infer, to the same extent, the species of origin or how domesticated the leathers were." Even today, he and his colleagues were surprised by how much they were able to learn. "We analysed nine samples and for each one, we were able to reconstruct either a whole mitogenome or a partial mitogenome. We were very happy with that."

I have a feeling they will halt the Chelsea surge which has been so impressive. To win 13 games in a row is just fantastic but Chelsea have some hard fixtures on the horizon. This fixture always leaves me wondering why the fans hate each other so much? They seem to detest the opposing club. Why I don't know, but it will make for a spicy atmosphere.

A new town square with an outdoor LED screen has been proposed for Jackson's Lane, while King Street would become pedestrian-friendly. Carmarthen Town Regeneration Forum is holding a public consultation on the plans. It takes place in the former Myrddin Day Centre in John Street, Carmarthen, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Carmarthenshire council said King Street was a hub for local culture, arts and crafts but that it was dominated by vehicles "which causes a cluttered pedestrian environment". It has proposed removing vehicles to allow business owners to put tables and chairs on the street, which would make it less of a "thoroughfare to the town centre" and more "of a destination in its own right". Jackson's Lane is a key route for pedestrians joining King Street, Jackson's Square and Red Street, but the council said it had "no real sense of place". It plans to create a town square that would be free of vehicles and would become a focal point and meeting place, with shops, cafes, restaurants and the LED screen which could display sporting events, TV and films. There are also plans to bring Jackson's Square and Chapel Street back to life, where kiosks could be created for new small businesses to open. Marian Ritson, from Siop Pethau Bychain on King Street, welcomed the proposals. "For years we've been in discussion with the council with regards to developing King Street, as this is one of the oldest parts of Carmarthen. It's full of independent shops, which gives the town a different feel," she said. "When people find King Street they come back all the time, but the challenge is to lead them here in the first place." Dai Jenkins, deputy leader of Carmarthenshire council, said: "A sum of money has been put into the five-year plan - the capital programme - £500,000. "But we have to start the process first, we need to consult with the people of Carmarthen before we can move on." Council executive board member for regeneration and leisure, councillor Meryl Gravell said: "I would urge Carmarthen residents to take the opportunity to see the exciting proposals for Jackson's Lane and King Street and to tell us what they think of them." He said the country had met relevant standards "perfectly" and in the coming weeks EU officials would work out how the scheme will be implemented. The announcement was made at a meeting of Ukrainian and EU leaders in Brussels on Thursday. Corruption in Ukraine and the country's future were also discussed. The visa-free scheme will allow Ukrainians with a biometric passport to enter the Schengen area - including some non-EU areas such as Switzerland and Iceland, but not the UK or Ireland - without a visa for up to 90 days. Mr Tusk said: "The last three years have seen the birth of a new Ukraine, that advances its democracy and economy through sometimes very tough reforms. "Additional assistance from Europe should help Ukraine in strengthening its democratic path." He said all EU states had decided Ukraine was ready for a visa-free regime, and that it would come into force once the European Parliament and the European Council agreed on changes to the EU's visa policy. They are trying to determine a way to suspend the visa waiver case of an emergency. Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has been promising his citizens visa-free travel to the EU for nearly three years. It was part of a partnership accord signed in 2014 that angered Russian officials. Mr Poroshenko said after the summit that he was "sad" visa-free travel was not already a reality for his country's citizens, but hoped it would happen by the end of the year. Ukrainian passport-holders can travel to Russia without a visa. The question of whether to look eastwards to Russia or westwards to Europe has been a huge political matter in Ukraine in recent years. The other major matter on the agenda at Thursday's meeting was corruption, and the country's record on tackling it came under scrutiny. EU officials have been urging Ukraine since 2014 to clamp down on corruption and to carry out other reforms. But critics say not enough has changed, and Mr Poroshenko has been accused of backing corrupt officials. The seizure of territory by pro-Russian rebels in Donbass in south-eastern Ukraine also remains a concern for the Kiev government, more than two years after Russia's annexation of Crimea. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said before the summit that Russia must be forced to honour peace agreements signed in early 2015. Aquila Singh, who was brought up in the Christian faith from birth, is to be ordained and inducted into Fernhill and Cathkin Parish Church in Rutherglen. Pakistan-born Ms Singh moved to Scotland when she was two. The former teacher worked at Belmont House School in Newton Mearns near Glasgow before her ministry training. She said she was "delighted" that she had been called to her first charge and excited at the prospect of leading the congregation and working with the local community. "I don't feel like a trailblazer but I like to think that maybe I can break down some misconceptions about who can be a minister." Ms Singh is following in her paternal grandfather's footsteps. He was a minister for the American Mission Presbyterian Church in India and instrumental in building a place of worship in Moga in the Punjab region in 1934. Ms Singh, who was raised in Glasgow, said: "When I was first discerning my call I would wonder why God called me, although I grew up in the church, because I was just an ordinary person. "But someone told me that God takes you as you are and tweaks you and I definitely believe this is true." Joint clerk of the Presbytery of Glasgow, Rev Dr Graham Blount, said it was always encouraging to see a new minister take up their first charge. "Each one brings something unique to the life of the church," he said. "Aquila is well known and liked in Glasgow Presbytery, and we are delighted to see her begin her ministry in Fernhill and Cathkin. "It will be an exciting night for the congregation and for Aquila as they begin a new journey together."

Morgan said: "He'll have a scan tonight [Thursday] and we'll see what it comes up with. It doesn't feel right." The captain added on TMS that man of the match Joe Root "showed his class, even [though he picked] up a niggle". Root compiled a career-best ODI score of 133 not out at better than a run a ball, despite sustaining a calf strain. Morgan, who scored an unbeaten 75 to help see his side home, described Root as "the glue in our side". "He has scored a lot of runs in the last couple of years and continues to do it," the captain continued. "He is not slow. He is batting at pace. He has been working on his power hitting and today it worked." If Woakes was to be ruled out, England can still call up a replacement, with Middlesex pair Steven Finn or Toby Roland-Jones likely replacements. Ben Stokes, who is recovering from a knee injury, bowled seven overs on Thursday and Morgan says the all-rounder came through it well. "It was a stretch for him but he hasn't felt his knee all day," said Morgan. Opener Jason Roy, under pressure coming into this tournament, received a vote of confidence from his skipper despite falling for just one. Roy averages 35 at over a run a ball in one-day internationals, but since the start of May he has reached double figures just once in six innings and was dismissed flicking a delivery to backward square leg against Bangladesh. "I thought Jason Roy was terribly unlucky today. Those things happen when you can't seem to score runs but we back him - he's been brilliant for us," Morgan said. Media playback is not supported on this device In a televised address, Mr Abadi vowed to retake Iraq's second city of Mosul, saying it would be "the fatal and final blow" to IS. The recapture of Ramadi was welcomed by US Secretary of State John Kerry, who said IS had suffered a major defeat. The jihadists seized Ramadi in May, in an embarrassing defeat for the army. Iraqi government forces have been fighting to retake the city - about 90km (55 miles) west of the capital, Baghdad - for weeks. Is Ramadi a strategic defeat for IS? Islamic State conflict Life under IS Viewpoint: How to defeat IS TV pictures on Monday showed troops raising the Iraqi flag over the government complex in the city centre. Army spokesman Brig Gen Yahya Rasul said forces had "liberated" Ramadi in an "epic" victory. Iraqi officials gave no immediate death toll from the battle. "2016 will be the year of the big and final victory, when Daesh's presence in Iraq will be terminated," Mr Abadi said on state television, using another name for Islamic State. "We are coming to liberate Mosul and it will be the fatal and final blow to Daesh," he added. The BBC's Thomas Fessy, who is in Ramadi, says the battle against IS has destroyed the urban landscape. He says that booby traps are everywhere and that Iraqi troops are still hunting retreating militants in parts of the city. Mr Kerry congratulated Iraqi forces for "displaying tremendous perseverance and courage". "While Ramadi is not yet fully secure and additional parts of the city still must be retaken, Iraq's national flag now flies above the provincial government centre and enemy forces have suffered a major defeat," he said. The battle for Ramadi - capital of mainly Sunni Muslim Anbar province - was backed by air strikes from the US-led coalition. US Defence Secretary Ash Carter said the expulsion of IS was "a significant step forward in the campaign to defeat this barbaric group". He said it was now important for the Iraqi government to maintain the peace in Ramadi, prevent the return of IS, and to help Ramadi's citizens to return to the city. UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond also congratulated the Iraqi government, adding that air support from the RAF around Ramadi had played "a key role" in the battle. "This remains a long fight, but the coalition's strategy is succeeding. We will continue to stand with the Iraqi people until Daesh is defeated," he said. State TV on Monday showed pictures of soldiers in Ramadi firing their guns in the air and publicly slaughtering a sheep in celebration. Troops finally captured the government compound on Sunday, flushing out or killing IS fighters and suicide bombers who had been holding out in its buildings. Brig Gen Majid al-Fatlawi, of the army's 8th division, told AFP that IS fighters had "planted more than 300 explosive devices on the roads and in the buildings of the government complex". In the fight for Ramadi, the government chose not to deploy the powerful Shia-dominated paramilitary force that helped it regain the mainly Sunni northern city of Tikrit, to avoid increasing sectarian tensions. Murdoch's rink lost to Ewan MacDonald's in the 2015 final and with it the right to play in the World Championships. And he was pushed into third by the rinks of Kyle Smith and Tom Brewster in October's European Playdowns. "We have to train harder and get ourselves to the top of the tree," Murdoch, 37, told BBC Scotland. Murdoch admits he and his team had a "difficult year" after returning from the Sochi Olympics in 2014 with a silver medal. That third place in the European qualifiers cost Murdoch and his team of Greg Drummond, Scott Andrews and Michael Goodfellow a place in the European Curling Championships in Esbjerg, Denmark from 20-28 November. "We're a little disappointed that we're not there," said the skip, who has three European gold medals to his name, along with two World Championship successes. Looking ahead to vying for the Scottish title, he added: "We now need to show that we're the top team in the country. "It's not all lost. We need to show a bit of confidence and work hard and put in some good performances. "It's the one big marker for us now that's left. It's the one that really matters as far as all the teams in Scotland are concerned. "They all want to be Scottish number one and go to the World Championships as Team Scotland and try to get the medal there. For us, that's what it comes down to. "It's going to be one extremely tough week in February and I think we will be ready for it." Murdoch, from Lockerbie, is spending an increasing amount of time in Canada as he strives for top-level competition. "It's almost a professional sport over there, it's live on TV every other week," he said. "That's where we need to be, playing these top guys week in, week out. "We've already had six weeks in Canada this season and we're going to Japan. It's a lot of time away. That's where the sport is and that's the dedication you have to show. "You have to follow where the good tournaments are around the world." While Murdoch is hoping his form peaks at the Scottish Championships, his mother, Marion, is being recognised by sport agency Sport Scotland for a lifetime achievement award for coaching curling. "When I started, mum had taken over the junior programme and she was a big part of how I ended up being a competitive player," he said. "She gave me that helping hand, encouraging me to go further. "Dad was super cool, so laid back, and mum was just fantastic. "Everyone respected her and at times were fearful of her but that was a good thing so that they did what they were told." Marion Murdoch said she could scarcely believe how long she had been coaching. "I think it was when my children were younger that I realised I was picking up points that I could pass on and someone asked me to do that 25 years ago," she said. "We start with the grassroots - Try Curling - and we have little ones of six-to-eight year old. "I also do disabled coaching and wheelchair coaching. It is nice to have variety to offer people so that they can take part. I get such satisfaction at seeing someone progress." He was rescued from the first floor by fire crews, who were called to Gaunton Close, in Taunton, on Friday night. Paul Godwin, from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, said crews had been confronted with a "scene of devastation". He added early indications showed there had been a build up of gas in the flat. The man was taken to hospital suffering from burns. "There was a strong smell of gas when our fire crews arrived first of all. But the actual cause of the ignition is unknown at this time," said Mr Godwin. "The flat downstairs is not habitable because of the damage to the flat above. The adjoining flats are habitable. "At the time of the explosion we did evacuate four families until we could make sure there was no build-up of residual gas in the area." A police cordon around the property remains in place while investigations are carried out. 31 May 2017 Last updated at 16:50 BST A survey by charity Ditch the Label has found that more than half of gamers aged 12-25 say that they've been bullied while playing online. 22% of the people who responded to their survey said that they had even stopped playing because of bullying.

The men, who are mainly ethnic Hazaras, are recruited from impoverished and vulnerable migrant communities in Iran, and sent to join a multi-national Shia Muslim militia - in effect a "Foreign Legion" - that Iran has mobilised to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Many have since fled the battlefield and joined the refugee trail to Europe. In a small town in Germany, we meet "Amir", an Afghan man in his early twenties. He was born to refugee parents in Isfahan, Iran, and is now himself an asylum seeker in Europe. Like most of the almost three million Afghans in Iran, he lived as a second-class citizen. Without legal residency or identity documents, he found it hard to get an education or a job. Fear of arrest and deportation was a daily reality. It was difficult to move around freely, get a driving license or even buy a Sim card for his mobile phone. But one day, Amir received an offer that changed everything. "Some Afghans, who were close to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, approached me and my mates at the mosque," he said. "They suggested we go to Syria to help defend the Shia holy shrines from Daesh," he added, using an acronym for the previous name of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS). "They said we'd get passports and have an easy life afterwards. We'd be like Iranian citizens and could buy cars, houses..." Amir was drafted into the Fatemioun Brigade, an all-Afghan unit commanded by Revolutionary Guards officers. The training, he says, was very short - a fortnight of tactical movement and basic weapons handling - and conducted in strict secrecy. "The night we entered the base at Qarchak, near Varamin in Tehran province, all our mobile phones were confiscated - and after two weeks' basic training, we were driven to the airport in buses with blacked-out windows," he said. Despite having no ,passports the Afghan recruits were flown directly to Syria on specially chartered jets. "Everything was taken care of by the Revolutionary Guards," he said. "When we arrived, we saw the bullet holes and shell damage. It was a war zone. What I did and saw there affects me still. I can't sleep - I get angry for no reason." Prof Scott Lucas of Birmingham University in the UK has been closely following Iranian involvement in Syria. He says the first Afghan militias began to arrive in 2012. "The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps decided that the Syrian military could not succeed on their own," he told the BBC. "The frontlines were too depleted and men were trying to avoid conscription." The Iranians decided to set up a 50,000-strong National Defence Force to fight alongside the Syrian army. With a shortage of willing fighters inside Syria, they began looking elsewhere - signing up Iranian Afghans, Lebanese, Iraqi and Pakistani Shia recruits. As we travelled across Europe, we met many Afghan ex-fighters like Amir, and all told similar stories. In the Moria migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, a clearly traumatised teenage veteran describes how Afghan Fatemioun fighters were used as first-wave shock troops and were effectively disposable. "Sometimes we had no supplies, no water, no bread - hungry and thirsty in the middle of the desert," he told us. "We were light infantry and we'd have to walk 20-30km (12.5-19 miles) to face the enemy and then fight them. "We would take ground at great cost and then have to hand it over to the Syrian soldiers. But they would usually lose it back to Daesh after a day or two. "One night we were surrounded in an orchard. They fired an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] towards us and I saw my mate blown to pieces, right in front of my eyes. After that, I hated war and started to fear war. "For nights afterwards, I would picture my friend in my head and would think: 'My God, what happened to him!' I was really scared." At the port of Mytilene we found another group of young Afghan men. They all said they were ex-Fatemioun fighters. One, who showed us his dog tags and de-mobilisation paperwork, explained how he had been effectively coerced into fighting in Syria. "They took us to war by force," he says. "I wasn't happy with that but they said that because I was an Afghan who'd been arrested without identity papers, they'd either deport me to Afghanistan or send me to prison. I ended up being held in Asgar Abad detention camp before joining up." He says he spent 12 months in Syria, as a tank driver and later a sniper, deployed across the country from Damascus to Palmyra. But when he finally got back to Iran, the Revolutionary Guards broke their promises. "They gave me this small green identity document. It was just this 30-day temporary residency. I couldn't get a driving license with it - I couldn't even buy myself a Sim card! "I complained and they said: 'You have to go back to do another tour of duty' - but I didn't want to. I ran away and here I am." There are no official figures for how many Afghans Iran has sent to Syria - or how many have been killed there. Human Rights Watch recently estimated as many as 10,000 Afghans may have been recruited by the Revolutionary Guards. Iran's foreign ministry has denied any Afghans are being sent in an official capacity. The official narrative from Tehran is that they are all volunteers, off to defend holy sites of their own volition. But every week in Iran there are more military-style funerals for fallen Fatemioun fighters. And with a major government spring offensive around Aleppo in the offing, it seems Iran's Foreign Legion will be fighting - and dying - for President Assad for some time to come.

Head judge Margaret Mountford presented McInerney with £30,000 and a limited edition bronze figurine - the Bessie - at London's Royal Festival Hall. Mountford praised "a superbly original, compassionate novel". She added that the judges had "a passionate discussion around a very strong shortlist", saying The Glorious Heresies "delivers insights into the very darkest of lives through humour and skilful storytelling". This year's judges also included writer and singer Tracey Thorn, journalist Naga Munchetty, writer and journalist Laurie Penny and author Elif Shafakhe. Novelist and co-founder of the prize Kate Mosse said: "Since 1996, we have honoured novelists of exceptional talent, have promoted and celebrated fiction from all over the world. "Now, as we celebrate the work of Lisa McInerney the list of those shortlisted and winning novels, past and present, stands as a tribute to women's talent, ingenuity, originality and imagination." McInerney was one of six writers on the shortlist, which included fellow debut writers Cynthia Bond and Hannah Rothschild, along with previously shortlisted author Anne Enright plus Hanya Yanagihara and Elizabeth McKenzie. The shortlisted books were as follows: McInerney, who is the author of a blog which wryly documents modern life there, has also been shortlisted for the 2016 Desmond Elliott Prize and longlisted for the 2016 Dylan Thomas Prize. Her short stories have featured in The Stinging Fly, on BBC Radio 4 and in the anthologies The Long Gaze Back. She has written in her blog about her unconventional upbringing. Born to an unmarried mother, she was raised by her grandparents on a council estate in County Galway and later worked in the office of a construction company in Cork. "I was raised by my grandparents because in the 1980s, children born to unmarried mothers were saddled with the legal status of 'illegitimate', and my family wanted better for me," she wrote. Foyle's Frances Gertler said McInerney's win "won't please everyone". "This is a brave choice of winner by the least conventional and edgiest writer on the list, whose big, gritty and compelling novel about Ireland's dark underbelly features a cast of alcoholics, drug dealers and prostitutes, leaving a trail of sex, violence and crime in their wake," she said. Formerly known as the Orange Prize, the book award was set up in 1996 and is awarded for the best full-length novel of the year written by a woman and published in the UK. Last year's winner was Ali Smith for How to be Both. The Blues youth product, 20, spent most of last season on loan at the New Lawn making 24 appearances and helped the club get promoted to the English Football League for the first time. Cooper is the son of Rovers boss Mark and the grandson of former Leeds and England left-back Terry Cooper. He becomes the newly-promoted club's fourth signing of the summer. Cooper told the club's official website: "After last year with success coming for us it was great for me, the team, and all the staff. "Having spoken to other clubs I wouldn't be sure to play first team football, but coming here that's my main aim." Cooper joins another Birmingham recruit - Reece Brown - in the Forest Green squad for next season alongside other new arrivals - defenders Callum Evans and Lee Collins.

Once dependent on sugar exports, the island has built up a strong outsourcing and financial services sector, and an important tourism industry and now boasts one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. Mauritius claims sovereignty over the Chagos islands, arguing that the archipelago was illegally detached from Mauritius before its independence. The Chagos islands lie around 1,000 km to the north-east and are home to the US military base on Diego Garcia. Several hundred islanders were expelled to make way for the base. Population 1.3 million Area 2,040 sq km (788 sq miles) Major languages English (official), Creole, French, Indian languages Major religions Hinduism, Christianity, Islam Life expectancy 70 years (men), 77 years (women) Currency Mauritian rupee President: Ameenah Gurib Ameenah Gurib was sworn in as president of Mauritius in June 2015, becoming the first woman to hold the ceremonial position. She replaced Kailash Purryag, who was chosen by the previous Labour Party government in 2012 and resigned in May 2015 following the election victory of the alliance led by Sir Anerood Jugnauth in December 2014. An internationally-renowned scientist and biologist, Mrs Gurib is an expert in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Prime minister: Sir Anerood Jugnauth Sir Anerood Jugnauth has held the post of prime minister for longer than anyone since Mauritius gained independence from Britain in 1968. Reappointed in December 2014, he previously served as prime minister between 1982 and 1995 and again between 2000 and 2003. He has been credited by his supporters as the pioneer of Mauritius' economic miracle in the 1980s, when the island liberalised its economy and began the process of reducing its dependency on its sugar industry. In late 2016, he announced he would step down before his term expires in 2019, with his son Pravind - leader of the governing Militant Socialist Movement and finance minister - seen as the favourite to succeed him. State-owned Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) radio and TV generally reflect government thinking. MBC is funded by advertising and a TV licence fee. Television is the most popular medium. Some key dates in the history of Mauritius: 10th century - Island is known to the Arabs but they choose not to settle. 1507-1513 - Portuguese sailors come across the island. 1638 -1710 - The Dutch claim the island, naming it after Prince Maurice van Nassau. 1710-1810 - The French take possession, establishing a sugar industry based on slave labour. 1810-1968 - The British conquer the island. Abolition of slavery sees thousands of indentured labourers recruited, mainly from India. 1966 - Britain expels hundreds of residents of the Chagos archipelago to make way for a US military base on Diego Garcia. Many are sent to Mauritius. 1968 - Independence declared. 1992 - Mauritius becomes a republic. 2014 - Parliament dissolved to allow a constitutional amendment and provide for the direct election of the president British number one Murray beat the nine-time French Open champion 7-5 6-4 in two hours 11 minutes. The 28-year-old Scot will face either Novak Djokovic or Kei Nishikori in Sunday's final at Caja Magica. Murray is looking to hold on to his world number two ranking, which he will lose to Roger Federer unless he retains his title in Madrid. Murray, who sent down eight aces and saved 11 of 13 break points, said he has been working hard to improve his serve before the French Open, which begins on 22 May. "I have spoken to a number of coaches, many who work with young players developing technique, to understand such things as different grips, position on the court and the ideal spot to make contact with the serve," he told Sky Sports. "You sometimes get bad habits when you are a professional, not as much technical side as the tactical and physical." Murray established an early lead in the opening set of the semi-final, earning three break points in Nadal's second service game and holding his composure to break the Spaniard. The momentum appeared to swing Nadal's way when he responded by taking Murray's serve, but it was the Scot who took the first set with a winning forehand that broke the home favourite for a second time. World number five Nadal, 29, was looking for a third successive tournament victory following wins in Monte Carlo and Barcelona last month. But Murray followed his only double fault with an ace at 2-2 to hold in the second set before immediately breaking Nadal. Nadal repelled a first match point with a break of his own, but Murray did not waste a second opportunity to repeat his victory over the Spaniard 12 months ago.

Eleven men died when a Hawker Hunter jet crashed on the A27 in Sussex during the Shoreham Air Show in 2015. A series of memorial sculptures will be installed along the banks of the River Adur, close to the scene. The designs, which are in the very early stages, will honour the victims and their families, the first responders and the local community. They include 11 lights which will be lit all day and night, an arch formed of 11 individual arches, "discrete areas of relatively solitary seating" and bespoke oak seats. Live: More news from Sussex The families of those who died have been consulted throughout the planning process. Artists Jane Fordham and David Parfitt have been commissioned to design and create the memorial, which will cost £180,000 to construct, funded by public bodies and local businesses. Adur and Worthing Councils' joint strategic committee will consider recommendations relating to financing the development of the memorial on 4 April. It is hoped the final elements of it will be installed for the third anniversary of the tragedy on 22 August 2018. A further 13 people, including the pilot Andy Hill, were injured in the disaster. An Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report earlier this month concluded the jet crashed because it was too low to perform an aerobatic manoeuvre. Who were the Shoreham air crash victims? The association has welcomed a new law which now makes it illegal to smoke in a car when children are present. But Dr Peter Bennie, BMA chairman for Scotland, said ministers should go even further. Legislation aimed at protecting children from second-hand smoke was unanimously passed at Holyrood in 2015. Smokers' rights campaigners have dismissed the change as pointless "virtue signalling". Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell said the "poisonous chemicals in second-hand smoke" were particularly dangerous to children. People caught breaking the new law could face a fine of up to £1,000. Dr Bennie said the ban on smoking in cars with children was an "important first step". "Children are still developing physically and, as a result, are more susceptible to the harmful effects of second-hand smoke," he said. "When someone smokes in a vehicle it creates a concentrated source of exposure to second-hand smoke. "An outright ban on smoking in vehicles would ensure that adults, and particularly vulnerable adults, who may be unable to object to others smoking while they are present, are also protected. This would also be easier to enforce." The law came about via a members' bill by then Lib Dem MSP Jim Hume in the previous session of parliament, and came into force at midnight. Mr Hume, whose mother died of cancer caused by second-hand smoke, introduced the Smoking Prohibition (Children in Motor Vehicles) Bill and won unanimous backing from MSPs. A similar law came into force in England and Wales in 2015, although there have been difficulties over enforcing the ban. Responding to the call by the BMA for a complete ban on smoking in vehicles, the director of pro-smoking pressure group Forest, Simon Clark, condemned the idea as "needlessly illiberal". He added: "If a driver is on his own there's no reason at all to ban smoking in cars. "It's a private space and should be treated like someone's home." More than 10,000 remembrance crosses and tributes from other faiths have been planted at the Welsh national field of remembrance, which will be open until 19 November. This year also commemorates the centenary of Mametz Wood at the Battle of the Somme. First Minister Carwyn Jones was among those attending a service at the field. He read the poem Mametz Wood by Owen Sheers, with Wales Office minister Guto Bebb reading the Exhortation in Welsh. The Last Post was sounded by a Royal British Legion bugler followed by a two-minute silence. A performance by the Military Wives Choir Defence Academy completed the service. Each of the tributes planted in the Cardiff Castle field of remembrance carries a personal message to the fallen. Thirty-five children from St Nicholas Primary School in the Vale of Glamorgan were among those who planted crosses in the field paying tribute to those who had lost their lives. Class teacher Jason Downey said it was the children's way of saying "thank you". "It is very important that the youngsters don't forget the sacrifices that were made on their behalf and that are still going on in the world today, so they appreciate what was done for their freedom," he said. John Dart, who joined the Welch Regiment Territorial Army in 1963, said those who were killed in service in his family were always in his thoughts. He said: "This is just the tip of an iceberg that runs deep into the history of the men and women who lost their lives so that we can stand here free." Billy John, 82, from Cardiff, who served in the 2nd Battalion South Wales Borderers, said he would always remember his friends who died during the war. Cardiff's field is one of six across the UK, which will see 120,000 tributes planted. Gloucestershire Police said a 31-year-old woman from the town was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. Camran Green, 17, was attacked at a property on Shakespeare Road on Sunday. He died in hospital the following day. Detectives have been given more time to question a 31-year-old man, who was arrested on Wednesday. A 44-year-old woman, who was arrested at the same time on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been bailed until 1 November. Seven candidates are competing to represent the Republican Party. The forerunners include ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy and ex-Prime Ministers Alain Juppe and Francois Fillon. The winner of the conservative primary seems assured to make the presidential run-off, where he or she is likely to face far-right leader Marine Le Pen. Polls suggest that the Republican candidate would win that election. With the governing socialists unpopular and divided, it seems unlikely that any left-wing candidate will survive the first round, The centre-right primary will be held in two rounds. The top two candidates in Sunday's vote will face each other in a second ballot a week later. Voting is not restricted to party members. Those taking part have to sign a statement saying that they "share the Republican values of the right and the centre". The candidates are: Parliamentary spokesman Moloto Mothapo said the decision followed a security assessment that confirmed "a security threat existed" against Makhosi Khoza. Ms Khoza has been a prominent critic of President Jacob Zuma and corruption within the governing ANC. Last week she received a death threat saying she had 21 days left to live. Africa Live: More updates on this and other African stories On Tuesday, at a ceremony to mark Nelson Mandela's birthday, Ms Khoza, 47, called President Zuma a disgrace. He has faced numerous allegations of corruption, all of which he denies. She was addressing civil society groups, unions and business leaders pressing for Mr Zuma's removal during a no-confidence vote to be held next month, Reuters reports. There is no suggestion that he is connected to the death threats. The ANC branch in Ms Khoza's home province of KwaZulu-Natal has called for her to face disciplinary action, South African media report. Mr Zuma is due to stand down as ANC president in December and there are numerous factions competing to succeed him. Whoever takes over would lead the party into the 2019 elections. Milton Nkosi, BBC News, Johannesburg The death threats received by Makhosi Khoza have sent a chill down many a spine here in South Africa. The nation is in shock that an MP's life can be in danger simply because she has been critical of President Jacob Zuma's style of leadership. The threats she has been receiving via text messages seem to be taking the country back to the dark days of the political violence which claimed thousands of lives in the lead-up to the country's first democratic elections, in 1994. This reinforces what anti-apartheid struggle hero Winnie Madikizela-Mandela told me when she said "something is seriously wrong in our country". Barry McNamee's left-foot shot took a slight deflection over Mark McNulty's head for the opener after 17 minutes. Sean Maguire provided the pass for Karl Sheppard to finish with aplomb into the left-hand corner on the half hour. Gearoid Morrissey fired home a 35-yard right-foot piledriver on 36 but Jimmy Keoghan was sent-off after the break. Midfielder Keoghan received two yellow cards in the space of a couple of minutes midway through the second half. Derry started the game brightly and almost took the lead through Ronan Curtis's low drive but McNulty saved with his fingertips, after which the ball hit the post and rolled across the line, before being cleared. McNamee broke the deadlock with his seventh goal of the season, but Sheppard equalised and Morrissey struck home the spectacular winner. In the second half, Ger Doherty saved from Stephen Dooley, while Aaron McEneff and Conor McDermott were off-target with efforts. The Candystripes put the pressure on late on as they went in search of an equaliser but substitute Mark Timlin side-footed the ball straight at McNulty, who also denied Rory Patterson. Derry remain fifth in the table despite a second successive defeat, with Cork runaway leaders at the top, 18 points ahead of Dundalk. The 31-year-old leg-break bowler played 11 times in the competition for Northants last season, taking 12 wickets at an average of 24 runs. Prasanna has appeared in 34 one-day and 14 Twenty20 internationals, including February's series against Australia. "The more match-winners on your teamsheet the better," head coach David Ripley told BBC Radio Northampton. "It's his consistency with the ball, he's been bowling the power-play against Australia and doing a good job of that. "There's some Sri Lankan cricket but at this stage it looks like he can pretty much do the whole competition, which is positive for continuity." Goods including diamond rings and a pendant were taken from the house in Troqueer Road some time between 08:00 and 17:00 on Tuesday. The total value of the items taken has been estimated at around £5,000. PC Alison Burke appealed for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at the time of the theft to contact them. In some cases, the hike in BP reading was enough to tip a patient over the threshold for needing treatment. The difference may be because patients feel more anxious when they see a doctor - the white coat effect, say the University of Exeter researchers. Their work is published at BJGP.org. The researchers studied more than 1,000 patients whose BP readings had been taken by both doctors and nurses at the same visit. Lead researcher Dr Christopher Clark said the study findings suggested doctors might not be best placed to monitor blood pressure. He said: "Doctors should continue to measure blood pressure as part of the assessment of an ill patient or a routine check-up, but not where clinical decisions on blood pressure treatment depend on the outcome. "The difference we noted is enough to tip some patients over the threshold for treatment for high blood pressure, and unnecessary medication can lead to unwanted side-effects." Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day. Having one raised reading does not necessarily mean you have high blood pressure. Feeling anxious or stressed when you visit your GP can raise your blood pressure, the NHS advises. Increasingly, to get more accurate readings, doctors are giving patients portable testing kits that measure blood pressure at home over the course of a day and night. Spotting and treating high blood pressure is important to lower the risk of future complications such as heart attacks and stroke. Katharine Jenner, of Blood Pressure UK, said: "Many people feel slightly anxious when going to see a doctor, even though having a blood pressure check is simple, quick and painless, it is interesting to see it quantified in this study." She said guidelines recommended home monitoring of blood pressure as well as in the clinic. The 21-year-old, who is 6ft 5ins tall, has made 19 appearances for the Spireites this season, scoring once. He could make his debut for the Stags in Saturday's home game against League Two promotion hopefuls Portsmouth. "I want to help Mansfield get over the line and into the play-offs, work hard, help my new mates and get some goals," Dieseruvwe told the club website.

In a statement, UKIP said it found no evidence to support the allegation. It added that Mr Bird, who had been suspended on full pay, would leave his job due to the "unfortunate publicity" surrounding Ms Bolter's complaint. Ms Bolter accused Mr Bird of propositioning her after he oversaw her completion of an exam for prospective candidates. He denied that version of events, claiming he had a "consensual relationship" with her. A disciplinary hearing was held earlier this month. UKIP said an independent HR consultancy had handled the inquiry. The party said it accepted Mr Bird's statement that the relationship was consensual and agreed his actions "did not compromise the integrity of its candidate selection process". It added: "Given the unfortunate publicity stimulated by media speculation, it has been mutually agreed to bring Mr Bird's fixed-term contract of employment to an earlier conclusion. The party would like to thank Mr Bird for his contribution and valued service over the past five months." Mr Bird remains on the UKIP candidates list but will not now try to stand for Parliament. He said: "I am very glad that the party has investigated and dismissed the allegations of sexual harassment and any impropriety regarding the selection of Ms Bolter as a candidate. "I wish UKIP every success in the election campaign. I remain a member and keen supporter of the party and I will continue to make every effort to help our candidates to victory in May." BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said it would be fascinating to know what Ms Bolter made of the outcome. He added that the "big political question" would be whether the "internal allegations and wrangling" would damage UKIP's general election prospects. Ms Bolter declined to comment. 21 January 2017 Last updated at 09:14 GMT He had to go through a special ceremony called an Inauguration on Friday. On the historic day our very own Leah was in the capital Washington DC to see how it all went. Take a look at our coverage. The 21-year-old, who was subjected to a gender test following her win at the 2009 Worlds, went through in two minutes 00.71 seconds. Britain's Lynsey Sharp, American Alysia Johnson Montano and Kenyan defending champion Pamela Jelimo also all comfortably qualified. Sarah Attar, Saudi Arabia's first woman track athlete, was last in her heat. She was given a standing ovation at the Olympic Stadium as she went over the finishing line. "Semenya ran quite well there, but [to] the winner Montano of the United States: this is how not to run an 800m race. Setting off quite quickly then slowing down is a silly tactic because it makes you more tired than you need to be. The women's 800m is more about judgement than setting a pace." Sharp, 22, was chosen ahead of four other British athletes who had run faster qualifying times, but she said her controversial selection had not been weighing on her mind. "I've said all along that I tried to block it out and not take it as added pressure," said Sharp, who ran 2:01.41 to advance. "I'm in great shape." Semenya became global news when she was asked to take a gender test by athletics' governing body IAAF in the aftermath of winning her world title. Doubts were raised over her gender because of her muscular physique, running style and sudden improvement in times. Semenya was suspended for 11 months by the IAAF but was cleared to return to the track in July 2010. She won silver at last year's World Championships in Daegu despite a back problem. "It was a tactical race," said Semenya, who carried South Africa's flag at the opening ceremony in London, after her 800m heat. "I wanted the race to be a fast one. "I have to run a sub-two (minutes) race to be a contender." So unless Greek savers miraculously decide to cease withdrawing cash from their accounts, Greek banks would find themselves in serious straits as soon as Monday - because the banks have become dependent on ELA, approved by the ECB but supplied by the Bank of Greece, to provide the cash to depositors who want their money back. "We think the Greek government will have no choice but to announce a bank holiday on Monday, pending the introduction of capital controls," said a source. Capital controls are restrictions on how much customers can withdraw from banks. Until now, the Greek government has been signalling that it does not want to introduce this restriction on the way banks can operate. The expected decision by the ECB to terminate emergency lending to Greek banks stems from yesterday's decision by the eurogroup of finance ministers that there is no way now of preventing Greece tumbling out of the current bailout programme on Tuesday and also of defaulting on a €1.5bn (£1.1bn) due payment to the IMF on the same day. So, with Greece no longer participating in a formal rescue programme, it is seen as impossible for the European Central Bank to continue extending credit to Greek banks - because the solvency of the Greek state would be in doubt, and the solvency of banks is so intimately linked to the solvency of the state. The prospect of banks being forced to close tomorrow, or, if they're not, of a devastating run on them, represents the most painful episode in Greece's financial and economic crisis, since it blew up in 2009. It is also the greatest perceived threat to the integrity of the eurozone since it was created in 1999. If the Greek government refuses to shut the banks, the European Central Bank - as regulator of eurozone banks - could recommend that all branches of Greek banks outside Greece be closed to preserve cash. But since Greek banks could get their hands on cash in branches outside the Greek mainland, closing overseas branches but not Greek branches would be seen as favouring Greek residents over customers in the rest of the world. So the European Central Bank has made its historic decision not to increase Emergency Liquidity Assistance to Greek banks. You can read the statement here. It means Greek banks run the horrendous risk of running out of cash, if they open for business as normal tomorrow. The Governor, Yannis Stournaras, of the Bank of Greece said: "The Bank of Greece, as a member of the Eurosystem, will take all measures necessary to ensure financial stability for Greek citizens in these difficult circumstances." The presumption in central banks and regulatory authorities around the EU is that this means there will be an exceptional bank holiday tomorrow - pending the imposition of limits on withdrawals from accounts (or capital controls). Goodness only knows what mayhem will ensue if banks open as normal. There are some who believe the Syriza government won't impose capital controls, and would then endeavour to lay the blame for the ensuing financial carnage at the door of the ECB, one of the government's major creditors. But the economic price for this kind of political point-scoring would be massive, to put it mildly. The RNLI will provide the service at Three Cliffs Bay on Gower after a campaign for improved safety was carried out by the community. They will be on the beach during school holidays and in the peak summer months. The family of Benny Collins, who drowned at the beach last July aged 40, have supported the patrols, along with plans to improve safety signs. Another man - Jason North, 42, of Macclesfield, Cheshire - also died last June while trying to get his children out of the water. The picturesque beach has become more and more popular and now attracts tens of thousands of visitors a year. Stuart Thompson, RNLI lifeguard manager, said the sea conditions could be "dangerously unpredictable" and at certain times there could be rip currents. "A designated swimming area will be set up with red and yellow flags where people can enter the water under the supervision of fully-trained lifeguards," he added. The Collins family said in a statement: "Benny was a strong rugby player, physically very fit and an able swimmer and yet did not escape tragedy in the Three Cliffs' waters. "While we would not encourage people to swim at Three Cliffs Bay, we encourage people to only ever consider going into the water if lifeguards are present and only in designated areas." Across Wales, RNLI lifeguards helped more than 900 people on 32 beaches last year. This year, seven more beaches will have lifeguards provided by the charity - including Three Cliffs Bay as well as beaches in Porthcawl and Denbighshire.

But it adds that pro-Donald Trump bots saw an even bigger gain in activity, giving the Republican a potential advantage on the social network. The suspected bot accounts tweeted more than 1.7 million times on the days of the debates and the next three days. The study warns they might "polarise" online debate and "muddy" issues. The work was led by Prof Philip Howard, from the University of Oxford's Internet Institute. It has not been peer-reviewed. "It's an issue because as each debate goes, more and more traffic seems to be automated," he told the BBC. "So, people interested in talking about politics do so increasingly with automated messages. And this increases the chances of misinformation spreading to real networks of people." He classed an account as being a bot if it had exclusively tweeted hashtags linked to one - but not the other - candidate at least 50 times a day over one of the four-day periods. Other experts have noted that the method is not foolproof as it would include some of the candidates' most enthusiastic supporters. One Clinton follower, who posts messages about the candidate dozens of times a day, also objected. "I am in several Twitter groups and a member of many Hillary Facebook groups," Dee Flaherty told the BBC. "We spend hours of our time volunteering for Hillary because we want the progress of President Obama to continue." The owner of a Twitter account flagged as being one of the most prolific pro-Trump bots - it has tweeted more than 182,000 times since July 2015 - also took issue with the analysis. "I use [the newsfeed progam] Feedly - you can set up your hashtags and I just go through it and tweet it out," said the owner, who uses the pseudonym Joey Brooklyn. "About being called a bot, it makes me mad to think I don't put in the work to try to save my country. I have a lot of time on my hands as an equities trader, so I tweet to get my message out." But Prof Howard said that his methodology had been used in other elections, and follow-up checks had indicated it gave a good indication of bot activity. The analysis of the second debate identified 194,598 tweets from suspected pro-Clinton accounts between 9 and 12 October. That marked a 42.4% rise on activity in favour of the Democrat - she had benefited from 136,639 such tweets in the first debate. But the real estate tycoon enjoyed a bigger gain. The study found 864,939 suspected bot-driven tweets supporting him - a rise of 50.1% over the first debate, when 576,178 were flagged. There is no suggestion that the tweets were generated by the official campaigns. But one independent expert said both parties were well aware of the importance of social media. "During the last two elections, Barack Obama was definitely the winner in the electronic stakes and it worked in his favour," said Iwan Morgan, professor of US studies at University College London. "It's quite clear that Trump and people associated with him are paying close attention to this form of electioneering. "But whether it will help Trump is another matter. "I think it's a reaffirming rather than a converting mechanism - there are plenty of other factors to compete for the hearts and minds of the undecided." Twitter has rules against people running multiple accounts that overlap in use or that impersonate others and has suspended users who disobey But some think it needs to go further. "At the moment [automated political accounts] are not a big issue, but it is growing because they are increasing in number and becoming more complex, though currently they are easy to identify," said Gilad Lotan, chief data scientist at the venture capital firm Betaworks. "The social media platforms need to recognise this and make it harder for them to game the system." Prof Howard said he thought the activity had enjoyed "modest but strategic" impact so far, but added that bots had the potential to play a greater role in the final debate. "If there's a short-term increase of 3 to 4% for tonight's debate, it means that nearly one-third of all Twitter conversation will be automated," he remarked. "At the moment bots are co-ordinated enough to degrade public trust in social media but not enough to ruin a candidate. "If there is co-ordination around an absurd lie coming up to the election, it could be very damaging for either candidate." Bots take on various guises but have some giveaway signs. They often do not feature a profile image and when they do it is often shared among multiple accounts - so watch out for duplicates. Bots also tend to follow many more accounts than they are followed by - a sign that they do not have real friends or work colleagues. They often have little to say apart from the topic of conversation they have been created to post about and may tweet prolifically without apparent recourse to sleep. Also watch out for accounts that reply to your messages in less time than was humanly possible to read what you wrote. A final giveaway is if scrutiny of the bot's account reveals it has sent the same response to you as well as to dozens of other people.

Web robots dedicated to posting pro-Hillary Clinton tweets appear to have become more vocal in the second US presidential debate, says a study.

Tyrone will meet All-Ireland holders Dublin in the semi-finals with Mickey Harte eyeing his fourth Sam Maguire success as Red Hand county manager. Cathal McCarron of Tyrone was sent-off late on for two yellow cards. Armagh had three players black-carded on what was a miserable afternoon at Croke Park for Kieran McGeeney's men. They had gone into the last eight clash as 4-1 outsiders but were expected to give their neighbours a sterner test. Tyrone, beaten in last year's quarter-finals by Mayo, were on top from the start with Colm Cavanagh landing a lovely point from play in the first minute and Mark Bradley quickly adding two more. Sean Cavanagh's free and Tiernan McCann's score from play stretched the lead and, when Harte despatched the penalty, 4-1 outsiders Armagh were faced with a massive eight-point deficit. The penalty was awarded by Meath referee David Gough for James Morgan's foul on Bradley, and Harte's reliable left boot did the rest. It took Armagh 18 minutes to score their first point, through a Niall Grimley free, and Mark Shields and Rory Grugan also scored before the break. But Armagh's cause was not helped by the black card issued to centre half-back Shields for hauling down Peter Harte from behind. Tyrone held a 1-8 to 0-4 at half-time and they piled more misery on Armagh after the break. Ardboe man Mulgrew, who had been dropped from boss Harte's original team selection, came on as a replacement and made his point with two goals. He collected a high ball and slipped a cool finish past keeper Blaine Hughes in the 55th minute and eight minutes later raced through to net again. McCarron's dismissal didn't matter in the grand scheme of things and, because it was for two yellows, he will be available for the semi-final. The last four clash against Dublin on 27 August promises to be Tyrone's first real test of the 2017 Championship. Armagh: B Hughes; J Morgan, C Vernon, P Hughes; B Donaghy, M Shields, J McElroy; S Sheridan, N Grimley; R Grugan, C O'Hanlon, A Forker; J Clarke, G McParland, S Campbell. Tyrone: N Morgan; A McCrory, R McNamee, C McCarron; T McCann, P Hampsey, P Harte; C Cavanagh, C McCann; D McClure, N Sludden, K McGeary; M Bradley, S Cavanagh, M Donnelly. Media playback is not supported on this device Central bank governor John Mangudya said the cash, known as bond notes, will be backed by $200m (£140m) support from the Africa Export-Import Bank. The specially-designed two, five, 10 and 20 dollar notes will have the same value as their US dollar equivalents. Zimbabwe introduced the US dollar after ditching its own currency in 2009 following sustained hyperinflation. Since then Zimbabweans have been using the dollar as well as a number of other foreign currencies including the South African rand and the Chinese yuan. Africa Live: More on this and other African news stories. Zimbabwe’s multi-currency confusion But the BBC's Brian Hungwe in the capital, Harare, says that bank customers are not always able to withdraw the amount of US dollars they want because of a shortage of dollar notes in Zimbabwe. The governor stressed that the issuing of bond notes was not the first step on the way to reintroducing the defunct currency, the Zimbabwe Herald newspaper reports. Mr Mangudya also introduced a number of other measures to steer people away from using US dollar cash. This includes setting a $1,000 limit on how much cash can be taken out of the country. He wants to encourage people to make greater use of the rand since a large portion of Zimbabwe's trade is with South Africa. But our correspondent says that people are reluctant to hold rands as they are not confident that the currency will maintain its value against the dollar. He adds that not all shops and traders accept the full range of currencies officially in use. The central bank brought in so-called bond coins of one, five, 10 and 25 cents, pegged to the US dollar, in 2014. Mr Mangudya said the bank was still working on a design for the new notes, but they should be in circulation "within the next two months", the Herald reports. One source at the Iraqi army's Samarra Operations Command said almost 300 IS fighters had been killed in the battle. There has been no independent confirmation of the reports. IS fighters seized the northern half of Dhuluiya in June and surrounded the southern half after a local Sunni tribe refused to swear allegiance. Since then, government forces backed by US-led air strikes have been gradually pushing back the jihadists north and west of the capital. The operation to break Islamic State's grip on Dhuluiya began on Sunday with air raids by Iraqi helicopter and fighter jets, police and locals said. Troops and militiamen had taken control of the town centre by Monday afternoon, and IS fighters had been surrounded in small areas to the north-west, Police Capt Khalaf Hammad told the Reuters news agency. There were reports of fierce clashes overnight. Then by midday, security sources were claiming that the whole of the town was back in the government's hands, and that IS had suffered very heavy casualties when the northern area of Khrazraj was overrun. A commander of the Badr Brigade, an Iranian-backed Shia militia, also told Iran's Press TV that Dhuluiya was now under full government control. Gerald Sunnie is alleged to have accepted cheques from the women who had "submitted them on the pretence they had won a substantial monetary prize in a prize draw". Mr Sunnie denies two charges, which are alleged to have taken place between August 2013 and August 2014. A trial will take place in July. Prosecutors allege Mr Sunnie "became concerned in an arrangement which you knew facilitated the acquisition, retention, use or control of criminal property". Mr Sunnie, 58. is alleged to have taken £32,900 from the three women. He denied a charge of fraud and another under the Proceeds of Crime Act at Dundee Sheriff Court. The figures were revealed in a Scottish government survey of numeracy in Scottish schools. Data showed the percentage of P4 pupils performing well or very well dropped from 76% in 2011 to 69% last year. The government said it will make an extra £1m available to fund numeracy hubs, to help share good practice. This is the second comparable National Numeracy Survey. A total of 10,561 pupils across Scotland in P4, P7 and the second year of secondary school took part. The proportion of P7 pupils doing well or very well fell from 72% in 2011 to 66% in 2013. Because this is only the second set of figures, statisticians would caution against drawing a trend. However the drop in the numbers doing well or very well is still likely to raise some concern. The report's figures also draw attention to the continuing challenge of falling achievement once pupils move to secondary school. In both surveys 42% of S2 pupils were performing well or very well. The survey also suggested a significant drop in the number of children from the most deprived background in P4 performing well or or very well - down from 70% in 2011 to 61% in 2013. Minister for Learning Dr Alasdair Allan announced the extra money for numeracy hubs on a visit to Stobhill Primary in Gorebridge in Midlothian. The funding for numeracy hubs will be increased by £1.02m over three years to a total of £1.2m, to allow creation of additional hubs and the expansion of the current six. Stobhill Primary is part of the Midlothian and East Lothian Numeracy Academy, which brings together a number of schools that are using a new approach to teaching maths; training teachers as champions who can share best practice in their schools. The numeracy hubs work in a variety of ways to train teachers in new techniques around maths and to share best practice between local authorities. Dr Allan explained: "Expanding and accelerating the development of numeracy hubs is an effective way of raising attainment in maths and I am confident that today's announcement will lead to further improvements. "A range of measures of pupils' attainment in numeracy, such as the latest PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) figures and evidence from recent school inspections, are positive. "The picture that emerges in these figures is one of very few pupils at P4 or P7 not working within the expected level, yet there is a clear issue by S2. "We know from other figures that in the later stages of secondary the position improves, with a jump in recent years in the percentage of school pupils leaving with Higher Maths - up from 19% in 2007-08 to 24% in 2011-12." He added: "We are therefore working across government and with a range of partners to address this issue and give every child in Scotland the best start in life." Iain Ellis, chairman of the National Parent Forum of Scotland (NPFS) said: "We recognise the crucial importance of numeracy as a skill that opens many doors for a child's future. The role of parents is vital to improving children's skills in this area from an early age. "The NPFS will work with government and other partners to ensure that parents get the information and support they need to help develop their child's numeracy skills." He added: "We believe that more can be done if we all work together. We welcome the commitment of the Scottish government to putting in further support for teachers, parents and children." Scottish Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale said the figures were "a wake-up call for the Scottish government". "They show a marked drop in the proportion of children who are performing well or very well in numeracy at primary school, and no improvement at S2 level," she said. "They also reinforce what we already know: pupils who come from the poorest households are lagging well behind those who come from wealthier backgrounds." Scottish Conservative education spokeswoman Mary Scanlon said the statistics were "further proof that all is not well in Scottish education when it comes to the crucial matter of improving literacy and numeracy. "The fact there remains a significant drop in competency between primary and secondary school is a real worry and it is also the reason for the large attainment gap between different groups of pupils. "Time after time, teachers and parents are battling against a system which nurtures mediocrity rather than excellence." Larry Flanagan, general secretary of the EIS trade union, said the figures highlighted the need for change in the education system. He said: "Although the drop is relatively small and there are a number of potential mitigating factors, it does serve to underline the point which the EIS has been making, that there remains an ongoing need for additional support to embed Curriculum for Excellence in the primary sector. "The current focus on the new qualifications has often led to the mistaken believe that the process is complete in primaries when clearly it is not. It's inequitable, for example, that secondary schools have been granted a further additional in-service day but primaries have been denied the same access to professional development opportunities." He added: "One area, for example, which clearly needs to be looked at, is the transition from primary to secondary, and that needs both sectors to work together. We would call on the Scottish government to treat primary schools fairly and to provide the additional in-service time required." The parents of Hope Lee had known for months she would have a short lifespan due to a deadly brain and skull condition. Emma and Andrew Lee, from Newmarket, agreed Hope's kidneys would be made available for transplant. Mr Lee said: "There's an adult lady out there who is doing very well, so a lot of good has come out of it." Hope was born at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, last week ahead of her twin brother Josh, as first reported in the Cambridge News. Her parents found out she had a condition called anencephaly in the 13th week of pregnancy and they rejected having her terminated. Mr Lee said: "It was a very sad time, but our whole family are signed-up for organ donation. "We had time to plan everything we wanted to do and the hospital was able to put into action the transplant of the kidneys and some liver cells were taken as well." Source: NHS Organ Donation Hope's father said if they had not planned it in advance, they might not have been able to go through with the organ donation plan after Hope was born. "Just before she died she bent her fingers around my finger and I broke down," he said. "Seventy four minutes isn't long, but it has given us a chance for a bit of closure." Sally Johnson, NHS Blood and Transplant director, said: "It is exceptionally rare for very young babies to become organ donors. "We are very grateful to Emma and Andrew for making such a courageous decision and to offer a chance of life to others at a time of personal loss." Teddy Houlston of Cardiff was the previous youngest organ donor in the UK after he died about 100 minutes after his birth in in 2014. The closure of Hawarden, Mancot and Queensferry libraries was agreed last year, partly due to funding cuts. But a group, Friends of Mancot Library, has been set up to to operate the existing building as a community library from March. The new library opens on 29 February and the others shut on different days. William Paterson is alleged to have repeatedly shot and killed 29-year-old Mr Carroll outside Asda, in the city's Robroyston area, on 13 January 2010. He is also accused of fleeing to Spain 10 days later "to avoid arrest, prosecution and conviction". Mr Paterson denies all the charges against him and has lodged two special defences of alibi and incrimination. The trial is taking place at the High Court in Glasgow. An excerpt from a telephone call made by Mr Paterson to his girlfriend Sarah Maguire from prison in October last year was played to the court. In it he was heard telling her that he had been served with his indictment and that there were 350 witnesses on the list, including her father. Giving evidence to the jury, Miss Maguire's father Kevin Maguire, 70, told the court that Mr Paterson was in a relationship with his daughter and before going to Spain in January 2010 sometimes stayed at their house. Det Sgt Grant Durie, who searched the house where Miss Maguire lived with her father in Cumbernauld, also gave evidence. He told the court he was the crime scene manager and that during the search a bulletproof vest was found under the bed in Miss Maguire's room. Advocate depute Iain McSporran asked if it was if it was "unusual" to find it and he said it was. The prosecutor asked how many times he had previously come across a bulletproof vest during searches and he replied: "That was the first time, sir." The officer also told the court that Kevin Carroll had the nickname "Gerbil". He confirmed that a man called Ross Monaghan had been arrested and charged with Mr Carroll's murder. It is claimed - while masked and acting with others - Mr Paterson repeatedly discharged loaded handguns at 29-year-old Mr Carroll shooting him on the head and body. The 35-year-old is also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice. The indictment claims that on 23 January 2010 he boarded a flight from Glasgow to Malaga "to avoid arrest, prosecution and conviction". Mt Paterson further faces a number of firearms charges as well as another accusation of attempting to defeat the ends of justice. He is also said to have been involved in the reset of a car or an alternative accusation of being in the vehicle knowing it had been taken without consent. Mr Paterson denies all the charges and has incriminated six other people, including Ross Monaghan, and lodged a special defence of alibi claiming he was at his girlfriend's house in Cumbernauld on the day of the murder. The trial before judge Lord Armstrong continues. The W07 hybrid, with which Mercedes are aiming for a third consecutive title double and Lewis Hamilton a drivers' hat-trick, was unveiled on Sunday. Technical chief Paddy Lowe said: "Our priority has been to identify the areas we were weakest and improve them. "There were a lot of things that needed improving for 2016." World champion Hamilton will drive the new car at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain on Monday when pre-season testing gets under way. Lowe pointed to the races Mercedes did not win last year - particularly Singapore, where they suffered a bizarrely uncompetitive weekend - as motivation to take a step forward with the car. "While the car may look very similar to its predecessor from the outside, underneath there are quite a lot of mini-revolutions that make up an overall evolution for the new season," said Mercedes' executive director (technical). Mercedes have dominated since F1 switched to turbo hybrid power-units in 2014 and Mercedes engine boss Andy Cowell said the company had made a "good step" in performance over the winter. He said a decision by governing body the FIA to loosen the restrictions on engine development from last year to this had meant Mercedes "haven't had to restrict any of our development activity to a specific area". He added: "Anything which could yield a decent efficiency improvement - and therefore a decent performance improvement - has been explored and we're now working to make sure our package is sufficiently durable in time for Melbourne." Monday sees the first of two four-day pre-season tests ahead of the start of the new season in Australia on 20 March. Hamilton will drive the car on Monday, with the world champion and team-mate Nico Rosberg alternating over the remaining days of the test. The new Mercedes has already turned its first laps in a brief test at Silverstone on Friday, where Hamilton and Rosberg both drove the car. The club confirmed the 23-year-old has "a grade two injury in the left thigh muscle" - but did not specify a timeline for his return. But Spanish media report that he will miss the San Siro final, and is a doubt for France's first Euro 2016 match. Les Bleus face Romania in the tournament opener on Friday, 10 June. France have called Sevilla defender Adil Rami into their training squad. G&J Jack is blaming fish landing quotas and a general downturn in the industry for the decision. It will shut by the end of the year, following unsuccessful attempts to sell the company. The company was described as "one of Scotland's most respected and successful fish processing companies". A statement said: "For four generations, G&J Jack has been delivering high quality fish to customers throughout Europe. "However, the decline in the industry has been significant over the last two decades, with the white fish sector in which G&J Jack operates being affected by reduced fish stocks and quota availability. "The Jack family, who own and operate the company, have tried various strategies in order to sustain long-term trading and safeguard the workforce. "Attempts to sell the business as a going concern have not proved successful, despite recent interest. "It is regretted that all staff will be made redundant." Chartered Accountants Meston Reid have been dealing with the closure proceedings. The broadcaster tweeted that she was "absolutely thrilled" to have been chosen to be the show's lead presenter from 17 October. Jonathan Samuels said he was "hugely excited" to be appointed Mee's co-host. Mee, who began her career at Sky as a runner for Sky Sports, added: "Taking over from Eamonn is a real honour. Live news is always such a thrill." The 38-year-old has also worked for ITV as a sports reporter and presenter in the Midlands. She returned to Sky in 2008, and viewers have seen her hosting Saturday Night Football and Cricket AM on the Sky Sports channel. Stephen Dixon will continue to host Sunrise from Friday to Sunday alongside co-host Isabel Webster. Holmes announced he was leaving Sunrise earlier this month after 11 years presenting the breakfast show. The 56-year-old said he wanted to "step away" in order to "produce and present a number of documentary projects".

Ryan Morse, from Brynithel, Blaenau Gwent, died on 8 December 2012 from Addison's disease. Prof Ieuan Hughes said this could have been prevented if a basic examination was done and he was sent to hospital. Dr Joanne Rudling, 46, of Cardiff, and Dr Lindsey Thomas, 42, of Tredegar, deny manslaughter. Prof Hughes, a consultant paediatrician, told Cardiff Crown Court he would have expected Ryan to survive, given emergency treatment, up until a few hours before his death. And another medical expert, Dr Leonard Peter said the care both doctors gave Ryan fell far below expected standards. Earlier, the court heard Ryan's mother twice phoned Abernant Surgery in Abertillery the day before he died. On 7 December at 08:55 GMT, she spoke to Dr Thomas about Ryan's sickness and diarrhoea and said he was too weak to make it to the surgery. Mrs Morse phoned the surgery again at 17:45 GMT and spoke to Dr Rudling after she noticed parts of his skin had turned "completely black" but was told it was hormonal changes due to puberty. Prof Hughes said: "In my view, if Ryan had been admitted to hospital on the morning of 7 December and received satisfactory resuscitation, I would have expected him to survive." He said he believed Ryan's life could also have been saved if he had been sent to hospital when Dr Rudling spoke to him and even up until 23:00. He died shortly afterwards and Carol Morse woke at 04:15 GMT on 8 December to find him cold and lifeless on the sofa. Ryan first fell ill in July 2012 and weighed just 4st 11lb (30kg) at the time of his death. Dr Peter told the court Dr Rudling should have weighed Ryan when she saw him on 7 November, a month before he died and on 21 November at a follow-up appointment, as Ryan's mother had mentioned his weight loss. He said: "That complaint would have led any reasonably competent GP to weigh Ryan to see if he was below what was expected of a child of his age and height." He said Dr Thomas had also missed several "red flag" symptoms when she spoke to Mrs Morse on the phone on 7 December and should have visited Ryan in person or arranged for him to be taken to A&E. His symptoms included Ryan suffering from diarrhoea, being delirious and being unable to stand or walk. He said: "Delirium in a 12 year old is not something I have ever experienced in 41 years as a GP except in a child with sepsis or meningitis- it's an extraordinarily unusual symptom. "Taken together these symptoms should have given a strong warning for an overwhelming infection such as septicaemia or meningitis or metabolic problems like diabetes or indeed Addison's, although I would not have expected her to diagnose Addison's." He said advising Ryan's mother to see how he was in a couple of hours was not appropriate as if he had had an infection, he could have fallen dangerously ill within that time. The court heard an intravenous drip to rehydrate Ryan and boost his salt levels plus medication to raise his blood pressure could have saved him. If his adrenal gland had been irreversibly damaged, he would have then needed oral medication for life, Prof Hughes added. The trial continues. But Cardiff Metropolitan University football team's players have not earned a penny despite securing promotion to the Welsh Premier League. In fact the students, winners of Welsh League Division One, have to pay for the privilege of playing. "They actually have to pay us £150 subscription each season and that's what funds our football budget for the year," director of football and former Wales international Dr Christian Edwards said. "First and foremost they're at the university to study and they have to be good students in order to get their degrees and then it's their football life and their social life. "They really do sacrifice a lot and a lot of these players are in their fifth, sixth year with us. "Charlie Corsby is a PhD student and we've got a few Masters students. These players are not only developing as football players but developing as academics." Cardiff Metropolitan University, then known as UWIC, merged with League of Wales founder members Inter Cardiff in 2000. The students had failed to gain promotion to the Welsh Premier the previous season when they lost out to Haverfordwest County on the final day of the campaign. Edwards said the disappointment of missing out spurred the team on to go one better this season and they secured their place win a 3-0 win at Taffs Well. "We sowed the seed in pre-season discussing about the one goal and we carried that throughout the season," Edwards told BBC Wales Sport. "Barry Town pushed us very hard, Goytre pushed us very hard. We're glad we came out on top." Success on the pitch alone could not have secured promotion to the Welsh Premier League with the University investing in infrastructure and facilities to secure the required FAW domestic licence. Edwards recognises how tough a task his side face in Welsh football's top flight next season but added they were not daunted by the prospect. "We've played a couple of Welsh Premier League teams in the past few seasons in the Welsh Cup and in large parts of those games we've accounted ourselves very well," he said. "We don't think we're going to be ripping up any trees but we certainly think we can compete. "The journey that we started some six years ago is one that is progressive and we always believe we are arriving somewhere rather than arrived." Caerphilly-born Edwards, who started his career at Swansea City, won one cap for Wales against Switzerland in 1996 when he came on as a substitute for current national team boss Chris Coleman. Edwards also played for, among others, Nottingham Forest and Bristol Rovers before retiring from professional football at the age of 30. Media playback is not supported on this device The central defender spent four seasons with Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth Town, including a spell as caretaker manager in 2009. A member of the teaching staff of Cardiff Metropolitan University's School of Sport since 2010, he combined his roles as lecturer and director of football with his own academic studies. "It was a natural step when I retired in 2006 to go back to academia," Edwards said. "My wife said I could never retire and become somebody who did DIY. "I was never going to get a job like that so the next thing for me was to study. I always enjoyed studying even when I played. "When I was at Swansea as a youngster I did my A Levels and If I hadn't been fortunate to be a professional football player I think I would have been a PE teacher." Promotion to the Welsh Premier League has not been the only highlight for Edwards this year as in January he was awarded a doctorate by the University. "The intention was a three-year degree and a PGCE and move on but the pathway allowed me to do a Masters degree and then I was fortunate to undertake a PhD," Edwards said. "Another door opened and a job came with it and it's been fantastic. I never set out to gain a Doctorate. "My thesis was based around the culture of the football club so I owe a lot to the football team, the players and the coaching staff in helping me gain my doctorate." The group said one of its militants set off the car bomb among "rafidis" - a derogatory term for Shia Muslims. The attack comes just days after rebels began evacuating the area under a ceasefire deal with the government. IS has been expanding towards Homs in recent months. "Abu Ahmed al-Homsi parked his car in the Zahra neighbourhood and exploded it among the 'rafidis' before detonating his explosives belt," IS said in a statement. It claimed to have carried out two blasts, killing more than 25 people and wounding 70. Officials say 16 people were killed in a single explosion. The vehicle used was filled with 150kg (330lb) of explosives and caused a gas cylinder to blow up in a nearby shop shortly after, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (Sana) said. The first bomb exploded near a hospital in the al-Zahra area on Saturday, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said. Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi condemned the attacks, saying they would "not discourage the Syrian people", according to Sana. Government forces were able to tighten control of Homs following the implementation of a UN-backed truce deal in al-Wair, the last rebel-held area in the city. About 700 people, made up of rebels and their families, are thought to have left Homs and travelled to rebel-held areas of Idlib province on Wednesday. Fighters linked to al-Qaeda were among those due to leave, but moderate groups who accepted the ceasefire were expected to remain. The procession marked the start of three official days of mourning for Havel, who died on Sunday aged 75. Many applauded as the hearse carrying the dissident playwright, who led the 1989 overthrow of communism, passed through Prague's historic centre. A state funeral for the first Czech president is to take place on Friday. Royal route Havel's coffin was carried in a hearse, followed by members of his family and an estimated 10,000 people, many dressed in black. By Rob CameronBBC News, Prague This is a country in mourning for the first post-communist president of the Czech Republic. In the city's medieval centre, a crowd of mourners followed his coffin up the steep hill. Many more people stood by the side, watching the procession pass. Many are still struggling to come to terms with Havel's death. Local people have told me that he was unique and that they felt he will always be their president. He was, they say, the man who led the demonstrations in November 1989 and then led the country back to Europe. Many towns and cities have already asked to name squares and streets after him. "Mr Havel was a model of a man who longs to live in truth and in harmony with his inner conscience, and who is not afraid to suffer for that," Jaroslav Mino, who came from eastern Slovakia for the event, told Agence France Presse. The procession through the heart of the medieval Old Town following what is known as the Royal Route - used by kings and emperors for centuries. Among the crowd was Havel's secretary during the 1990s, Martina Smith. "It's a personal affair for me. I wanted to bid farewell and accompany him on this journey," she said, according to AFP. At the barracks of the Castle Guard, the coffin was draped in the Czech flag and placed on a gun carriage drawn by six horses accompanied by soldiers in ceremonial uniform for the short journey to Prague Castle. Life of Vaclav Havel in pictures The carriage is the same one that bore the coffin of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, Czechoslovakia's first president after it was founded in 1918. It now lies inside the 15th-century Vladislav Hall from where current President Vaclav Klaus - who often clashed with Havel on the direction of the country after communism - described his predecessor as a "remarkable personality" and a "brave man of firm opinions" who is "difficult to classify". "He became a symbol of changes under way and people projected their hopes in him," he said. Friday's funeral, at St Vitus Cathedral in Prague, will be the Czech Republic's first state funeral since independence and is expected to be attended by dignitaries from around the world. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose husband, Bill, visited a jazz club as president with the late Czech leader in 1994, is expected to attend, as is the Czech-born former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Heads of state or government from France, Germany, Israel and Austria and leaders from across eastern Europe, including Georgia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Lithuania are also expected to attend. Vaclav Havel became president of Czechoslovakia in 1989 after the fall of communism. When Slovakia split in 1993, he remained Czech leader until 2003. Having suffered from respiratory problems for many years, he died on Sunday at his country home in Hradecek, north-east of Prague. Jurors heard Shana Grice contacted the Sussex force over months - but at one stage was given a fixed penalty notice. Miss Grice, 19, was found with her throat slit in her bedroom, which was set alight in Portslade, East Sussex, last August. Michael Lane, 27, denies murder. The prosecution gave a timeline of when police were contacted. Jurors heard Miss Grice told police in February she was being stalked and Mr Lane had hid outside her home, sent unwanted flowers, and left a note on her new boyfriend's car which said "Shana will always cheat on you". In March, Mr Lane denied a claim he had assaulted the teenager by pulling her hair and trying to grab her phone, and he showed police messages from Miss Grice saying she wanted to be with him, the court was told. But the court was told Miss Grice was given a fixed penalty notice for failing to disclose she had been in a relationship with him, and for "having caused wasteful employment of police by making a false report", while no further action was taken against Mr Lane. On 9 July, Mr Lane, of Thornhill Rise, Portslade, was cautioned and told to stay away from Miss Grice after he stole a key and let himself into her home to watch her sleep, the court was told. The next day, Miss Grice reported receiving several calls from a withheld number, including one with heavy breathing, but the court heard Miss Grice was told there were no further lines of inquiry and the case would be left on file. On 12 July, Miss Grice told police she had been followed by Mr Lane, but the court heard police treated the incident as "low risk". Opening the defence case, Simon Russell Flint QC asked Mr Lane directly whether he murdered Miss Grice and the defendant replied: "No." Mr Lane said he had taken Miss Grice's key and let himself in because he wanted to "find out why we ended so abruptly". He said he was not responsible for letting down Miss Grice's tyres, or making phone calls, but he admitted leaving the note on her boyfriend's car and fitting a tracker device to Miss Grice's car. He also told the court two days before her death, he had sex with Miss Grice at her home before meeting her in a hotel. Mr Lane told the court that he had found Miss Grice's body but went into shock and "didn't know what to do". He said it did not cross his mind to dial 999, and he did not touch her to check whether she was still alive. He said he had gone round to find out why she had not left for work but found the front door open and he added: "I saw her slumped against the bed. She wasn't moving. I saw blood on the bed and blood on the floor. "She was in her dressing gown. I thought she was dead. I didn't know what to do." He said he saw no signs of fire and denied torching the room, and he told the court he had bought petrol because he wanted to kill himself because of depression following his grandfather's death. He said he went home, told none of his family about the discovery, and "didn't want to get the blame". Mr Lane said he showered and went to get a lottery ticket checked, but noticed blood on his trainers. After hearing sirens, he hid his trainers and got rid of a T-shirt, he added. Jurors heard he went to the dentist and then went to work before being arrested. Mr Lane admitted in court that he told lies in police interviews. The trial was adjourned until Monday. Initial reports from Ko Chang indicate Rachel Turner Brown drowned. A full post-mortem examination is due to be carried out. Mrs Turner Brown and her husband Stefan Brown, from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, travelled to the country on 12 May. Mr Brown said on social media that he was "in absolute tatters, still in shock, [it has] not sunk in yet". The couple had planned to spend seven weeks touring Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. They had been staying at Sofia Gardens Resort in Ko Chang, an island in the Gulf of Thailand's eastern seaboard, about 190 miles (310 km) from Bangkok and near the border with Cambodia. The Foreign Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national on 17 May in Thailand. We are providing consular support to the family." Police believe the 41-year-old was assaulted and robbed and they have issued an appeal for information. The man was discovered by a member of the public on the path behind Thorntreeside, near Easter Road, at around 23:20 on Sunday. He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where police said he was in a serious condition. DC Andy Cory said: "The victim has sustained serious head injuries during the incident and we are now looking to establish what exactly happened and who was involved. "Anyone who remembers seeing any suspicious activity in the Easter Road area prior to 23:20 on Sunday evening is asked to contact police immediately. "We would also urge anyone with any further information relevant to this investigation to also get in touch." The party took 48 of the 63 seats up for grabs in Rotherham in the first election since the authority was put under government control in 2015. Meanwhile, in Sheffield, Labour has so far secured 56 of the 84 seats to give it an unassailable majority, with the Lib Dems taking 20 seats. In Barnsley Labour took 19 of the 21 seats with the Barnsley Independent Group claiming the remaining two. In Rotherham, UKIP gained two seats to take their total to 14, though group leader Caven Vines lost his seat in Rawmarsh. Sole Conservative councillor Chris Middleton lost his seat in Sitwell ward, while Rotherham child sex abuse whistleblower Jayne Senior was elected in the Valley ward for Labour. Clive Jepson was elected as an Independent in Anston and Woodsetts ward, where 19-year-old Katherine Wilson was elected for Labour. Councillor Chris Read, leader of the Labour group, said: "It's a really pleasing result. It's a vote of confidence from the public of Rotherham and the changes that we're making, a chance to have another four years to see them through." Mr Read said he was pleased Ms Senior had decided to stand for Labour adding: "Who better to be part of our team tackling Child Sexual Exploitation than Jayne who has been at the forefront of that fight for so long." He described Miss Wilson as a "fierce campaigner" who would bring a "fresh attitude, a new approach and real enthusiasm" to the party. In Sheffield, Kieran Harpham, the son of former Labour MP for Sheffield Hillsborough and Brightside Harry Harpham who died from cancer in February, followed in his father's footsteps by being elected as a Labour councillor for Sharrowvale and Broomhill. Elsewhere, former council leader Lord Scriven was elected as a Liberal Democrat councillor for Sharrowvale and Broomhill. The Greens and UKIP both took four seats. The jobs are in technology, finance and consulting with average salaries set at around £30,000. Invest NI is providing about £2.5m in support. The company plans to invest more than £30m over the next five years It is the second significant announcement by the company in Northern Ireland within the past 18 months. Senior partner, Jackie Henry, said it was a proud day. "This significant investment tells the world in Northern Ireland we have the skills, the wherewithal and the ambition to succeed in globally competitive markets." Ms Henry said that the support the company got from government was a key factor in the decision. "The excellent performance of the Belfast Technology Studio since it was set up in 2011, together with the support from government, made Northern Ireland stand out as the best place to grow this aspect of our business." The First Minister, Peter Robinson, welcomed the expansion. "It is testament to the quality of the Northern Ireland workforce and the confidence that Deloitte has in Northern Ireland that this internationally renowned company has decided to not only expand once, but twice here." The Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, said it was a strong endorsement of the economy. "These jobs demonstrate Deloitte's confidence that the north of Ireland is the best place to grow this sector of their business and is recognition of the hard work, dedication, skills and expertise of our workforce." In May last year Deloitte said it was initially creating 177 jobs, but indicated that the workforce would be increased. Deloitte offers a range of audit, tax, consulting and corporate finance services to clients across the public and private sectors from offices in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Cotter has has made five changes from the side that beat Argentina last weekend. ''The players took it on board when we said we want to make our selections as hard as possible," Cotter said. "This team selection is probably the toughest we've had as a coaching team." The changes see Mark Bennett replacing the injured Huw Jones at centre, Ross Ford coming in at hooker for Fraser Brown, fit-again Richie Gray displacing Grant Gilchrist in the second-row, with Rob Harley and Ryan Wilson coming into the back-row in place of Magnus Bradbury and John Barclay. ''Players who were left out should feel quite rightly annoyed that they were left out and that's a good thing," Cotter continued. "They need to make it as hard for us as they can. Depth is important to us, games are getting more attritional, more and more physical and you need depth. ''If you are going to play at the top level of world rugby you need depth, and that's something these young guys can offer. They are coming through from academies, they are getting well coached and they are getting good strength and conditioning programs and learning technically how to get better. Media playback is not supported on this device ''Combining skill and power is very important and if we can have young players forcing there way through, that's a good thing. ''We're hoping that at selection time at the Six Nations things will be tough.'' Bennett missed the summer tour of Japan to represent the silver medal-winning Team GB squad in the rugby sevens at the Rio Olympics. His performances last year saw him nominated for World Rugby's breakthrough player of the year award, but his form has dipped since the World Cup. Huw Jones has caught the eye in the autumn tests, producing a memorable two-try performance on his home debut against Australia before conjuring a moment of brilliance to lay on a try for Sean Maitland against Argentina. The Stormers centre misses the Georgia match with an injury picked up in the act of laying on that try, but Jones' misfortune is Bennett's opportunity. ''I'm absolutely delighted to be back in squad," the Glasgow Warriors centre said. "Huw's been playing well. "I have the opportunity to go out and stake a claim to keep the shirt. The competition in the squad is huge. "I need to do my best to keep my place, I need to be outstanding." The five males, aged between 15 and 19, were arrested on Monday after a "proactive" operation by the Met's counter-terrorism unit. Ahmedeltigani Alsyed, 19, from Hounslow, is the only suspect who can be legally named. The others are aged 15, one is 16, while two are 17. They are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 25 February. Four of the five are charged with preparation of terrorist acts, illegal under the 2006 Terrorism Act. The charges are: The sketches were drawn by Dr Felix Rey, the physician who treated Van Gogh's wounds in 1888, and discovered in a Californian archive. The drawings depict the artist's ear both before and after the self-inflicted injury, and show he sliced almost his entire ear off. Previous claims suggested he had only cut off his earlobe or part of his ear. The sketches were discovered by Bernadette Murphy among papers owned by Irving Stone, who had been in touch with Dr Rey in 1930. Her research has also shed more light on "Rachel" - the woman who Van Gogh had handed his severed ear to with the words "keep this object carefully". The findings suggests Rachel was not a prostitute, as had previously been thought, but a girl who worked as a maid in brothels as well as a cleaner in business premises. Murphy began investigating Van Gogh after visiting Arles, the artist's home in the 1880s. Her findings will be published in a new book, Van Gogh's Ear: The True Story. Coincidentally, a new exhibition which will focus on the artist's mental illness is due to open in the Netherlands this month. On The Verge of Insanity, which will be housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, will feature the artist's portrait of Dr Rey. The painter cut off his ear after suffering a mental breakdown. He was found alive by police the next day and taken to hospital. Van Gogh took his own life in 1890. Media playback is not supported on this device Guy added to his 400m freestyle and 100m butterfly successes with gold in the 200m freestyle final, ahead of Stephen Milne and Robbie Renwick. His time of one minute 45.19 seconds was within the Rio qualification mark. "This has given me so much confidence and hopefully I can take that into Rio," Guy told BBC Sport. Eight British swimmers - Guy, Adam Peaty, Andrew Willis, Max Litchfield, Ben Proud, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, Jazz Carlin and Hannah Miley - secured automatic qualification for Rio 2016 through the trials. Up to 22 further names could be added to the line-up this week. The 200m freestyle event was one of the most keenly contested finals of the week, with all swimmers aware that a top-four finish would virtually guarantee them a place in the Rio 4x200m medley relay squad. Guy, Milne, Renwick and Duncan Scott, who was fourth - and also won the 100m freestyle title earlier in the week - are in prime position for selection. "Rio is going to be my third Olympics and this relay squad has so much potential," Renwick told BBC Sport. "Yes, we won world gold last year, but we're not going to take anything for granted because we know other nations will come on strongly this year." O'Connor also secured her third title with victory in the 100m breaststroke final on a busy night for the swimmer, who was also fourth in the 100m butterfly. The London Olympian won the 100m freestyle final and her favoured 200m individual medley (IM) event earlier in the week, and admitted she has some difficult decisions to make about what to compete in at the Rio Games. "The 200m IM is the priority and I don't want anything to distract from that, but it's good to get a race or two in before," she said. "I'll sit down with my coach over the next couple of months to help decide, but it's always nice to have options." Alys Thomas of Wales was the surprise winner of the 100m butterfly final in a time of 58.66 seconds, which was a personal best but over a second outside the qualifying mark. "That's not something I was expecting because I'm more of a 200m swimmer, so I'm really happy," she said. "I know I'm an underdog, not one to watch, but I like that position and whether the selectors will take me, I don't know, but I've done my best." Double European Games champion Luke Greenbank, 18, secured his maiden senior British title with gold in the 200m backstroke final. His time of 1:57.79 seconds was outside the qualification standard, but the junior world record holder has a strong chance of receiving one of six wildcard nominations GB Olympic selectors have at their disposal. "It's a little slower than I would have liked, but it was a season's best," he said. Energy firm Cuadrilla started construction work at the site at Preston New Road, Little Plumpton, Lancashire, in January. Five men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of offences under the Public Order Act, Lancashire Police said. The men, aged between 23 and 55 from Blackpool, and a 51-year-old woman are being questioned in police custody. Another man, 53, has been reported for summons. What is fracking and why is it controversial? Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. The government approved energy firm Cuadrilla's plans to frack at the site in October. Protests have been held at the site since work started on 5 January. Cuadrilla has previously said drilling would start in the spring. A second Lancashire site, Roseacre Wood, has not yet been given permission to operate amid concerns over the impact on the area. The council had initially refused permission to extract shale gas at both sites on the grounds of noise and traffic impact but the government overruled the decision for the Preston New Road site. The Scotland captain returned from over two months on the sidelines with ankle ligament damage during April. Laidlaw has been named on the bench for Gloucester in the Murrayfield showpiece against Stade Francais. "I'm just delighted I'm back playing rugby, back fit, and that's the way I want to be and want to stay," he said. "It's just about being sharp now when I get opportunities to play." Should Laidlaw feature in the second-tier European final, it will be his fourth outing since recovering from the injury he sustained in Scotland's Six Nations defeat by France. 'It has been a season of ups and downs' The scrum-half helped Gloucester lift the Challenge Cup in 2015, beating former side Edinburgh in the final. And victory on Friday would earn the Cherry and Whites an opportunity to qualify for next season's top-tier Champions Cup competition, via a play-off. "It's probably been touched on already with my injury that the coaches feel the team's been quite settled," Laidlaw continued. "It's been tough for me to get some rugby under my belt with the nature of my injury, so I'll play my part. "We know what it's like to win it and the good feeling that comes with it and, with that, it gives the club an opportunity to get into the Champions Cup as well. "It's been a busy week, but if we can win on Friday, it'll make it a better week. We're all focused on winning the game." Earlier this month, Laidlaw was added to the British and Irish Lions squad for the summer tour of New Zealand, replacing English counterpart Ben Youngs. Gloucester currently sit ninth in the Aviva Premiership table and the Jedburgh native, who has 58 Scotland caps, admits it has been a season of highs and lows personally - and for his team. "I suppose it has been a season of ups and downs - you get injured, you get back, I've been pulled into the Lions squad, which is a great upside, and I'm just delighted to get back fit," Laidlaw said. "I thought I played pretty well last week [against Exeter Chiefs]; it was good to start and I'm feeling sharper and sharper day in, day out. "We've had a bit of an up and down season in terms of the Premiership, but winning silverware is what it's all about. "We'll need a big effort; we're playing a quality team. We need to put in a good performance on the field - if we do that, it's a wonderful track out there. " He was visiting Scotland on Tuesday to speak in support of the union after opinion polls put the two sides in next week's referendum neck-and-neck. The three main UK parties have all proposed extra powers for Scotland if its people vote to stay in the UK. But former Plaid Cymru leader Lord Wigley said Wales should have confidence to push for independence. Mr Jones has urged the people of Scotland to reject independence and help "rebuild" the UK. Asked if he feared the impact of a yes vote, Mr Jones said: "Yes, I do." He said Scotland brought "balance" to the UK, and its population "seems a lot bigger" than Wales' "because of the weight it carries in the UK". Scotland's population is 5.3m, while Wales' is 3.1m. He added: "With Scotland gone, a lot of work would need to be done in order to make sure what is left was stable going forward. You'd have a very big nation in England, and two much smaller nations in Wales and Northern Ireland. "You have to work out what it would be called, work out what flag it uses. These things can be done, but I come back to the point: why do you need to do that? Why do you need to take the risk?" Mr Jones accepted it had taken time for the pro-union parties to agree on "a common way forward", and called again for a constitutional convention to discuss the UK's future. In an earlier interview on BBC Radio Wales, he said: "It's not all about fear... there is a positive alternative vision for Scotland." Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies also called on Scottish voters to support the UK as a "positive example of social, economic and national union". "Everyone can celebrate their own nationality but also get the strengths that the union has brought for the last 300 years," he said. "We should be celebrating that and emphasising what exactly is on offer for the next 300 years of the most successful economic and social union the world has ever seen." The former Plaid Cymru leader Lord Wigley said Wales should have the same confidence as Scotland in pushing for independence. "If I was a Scot I most certainly would be voting yes because that's the only way they will have control over the future well being of their country and not to be subservient to the needs of London and particularly the city of London from now to infinitum," he told BBC Radio Wales. He said if the Scots missed this chance to vote for independence they would "live to regret it". Lord Wigley added: "We have got to get the political clout if we are going to get a fair deal for Wales whatever the outcome of this referendum and that is a central message." Meanwhile deputy prime minister Nick Clegg has said greater devolution in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must follow the handing of greater power to Scotland if the referendum result goes against independence. Mr Clegg told MPs: "I don't think anyone should imagine that we can embark upon a new chapter of very significant devolution of further powers to Scotland without having a wider debate about how we decentralise power more generally across the United Kingdom." "The big missing bit of that jigsaw is to explore how we can decentralise the British state within England," he said. It is absolutely neck-and-neck and both sides are throwing everything they've got at this contest. Carwyn Jones might not sway many votes - but it might not take many votes to secure a victory for one side or another. It's interesting to see who his speech is aimed at - he's talking about the spirit of the 1945 Labour government, the miners strike, and Margaret Thatcher. This is a message aimed at Labour voters in Scotland, and it's Labour voters who appear to have been crossing to the Yes campaign in the last few days. As the most senior Labour elected politician anywhere in the UK, the No campaign obviously feel Carwyn Jones can possibly reach out to some of those people. Certainly, from their point of view, it's worth a try. Had the referendum looked likely to be a 65-35 No vote there might have been no repercussions. But already additional things are being offered to Scotland - and there are already processes in train for additional powers to come to Wales. Whatever happens those processes seem certain to be speeded up. It seems that Westminster is going to have to be very generous with powers in the future whereas at times in the past it maybe has been a bit stingy. Amongst Welsh politicians, none of them are quite certain what they should be negotiating over and they won't be until they see the result a week Thursday. The three-month operation involved police forces in 57 countries, European police agency Europol said. The raids uncovered enough fake alcohol to fill 12,000 baths, including 10,000 litres of adulterated liquor in the UK. Italian officers found 85 tonnes of olives painted with copper sulphate to enhance their green colour. The Europol-Interpol initiative, now in its fifth year, yielded the largest-ever haul, running from November 2015 until February 2016. Europol says the counterfeit goods market is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry, partly driven by rising food prices. Checks at airports also identified travellers importing illicit products such as several kilograms of monkey seized by customs officers at Zaventem airport in Belgium. Other notable elements of the operation included: The sale of the fake weight-loss products in this case was estimated to have generated some $170,000 (£118,000) over a 10-month period, the Europol statement said. "Fake and dangerous food and drink threaten the health and safety of people around the world who are often unsuspectingly buying these potentially very dangerous goods," Interpol's Michael Ellis said. The BBC's Anna Holligan in the Belgian capital, Brussels, says the record results do not necessarily mean the problem is getting worse. This year there were more countries than ever were involved in the raids, known as "Operation Opson". Chris Vansteenkiste from Europol said officers were also becoming more experienced at spotting counterfeit goods. "The complexity and scale of this fraud means co-operation needs to happen across borders with a multi-agency approach," he said. Rhodri Colwyn Philipps was last month found guilty on two counts of making malicious communications. An online post offered £5,000 to anyone who ran over businesswoman Gina Miller, and another related to an immigrant. A judge said there was a "risk" his sentence could increase if he appealed. Judge Deborah Taylor told Southwark Crown Court it was the court's "preliminary view" the viscount's sentence could be increased, and Philipps abandoned his appeal about 15 minutes later. Philipps - the 4th Viscount St Davids - was sentenced on 13 July, but was released five days later pending the appeal and will now serve the remainder of the prison term. One of the counts related to a post Philipps published on Facebook on 7 November 2016, which referred to Ms Miller, saying: "£5,000 for the first person to 'accidentally' run over this bloody troublesome first generation immigrant." Ms Miller was the figurehead for a successful legal challenge which, on 3 November, resulted in the government being told to consult Parliament before formally beginning the Brexit process. In another post, Philipps offered £2,000 to the first person to have an immigrant "carved into pieces". Not only is it the longest-established of the four Grand Slam tournaments, but the Championships also enjoy sell out crowds and hospitality every year. The two-week long event is broadcast to millions of fans, and made an operating profit of £42m last year. So, things certainly look rosy in the green SW19 garden, with further healthy signs being a 12% increase in the prize money pot this year to £31.6m. But income from broadcasters represents more than half of the event's turnover, and a small number of key broadcast markets, notably the UK and USA, provide the majority of that income. With this in mind, executives from tournament operator the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), are looking at new ways to grow awareness and interest in the tournament outside their current Anglo-centric heartlands. "We want to take the Wimbledon brand to new audiences and regions," Mick Desmond, AELTC commercial and media director, tells me. "It is not just about the people here at Wimbledon, where we have sold out all spectator tickets and all hospitality again. "We want to grow our global fan base, the same as the likes of Premier League football or NBA basketball are doing." He adds: "Tennis as a sport is in great shape. But we take a long term view in terms of strategy. "Not just in terms of developing physical infrastructure here on the playing site, but also about building our brand with a younger audience, and also with new audiences in different parts of the world, be it China or Colombia. "Disruption is everywhere in the modern world, and we always have to be thinking one step ahead." The financial reward from growing its global fan base, will come when Wimbledon signs new TV deals and sponsorship agreements, and is able to show that it can deliver a large and diverse customer base for its partners. "It all means that we add more value to our media rights, and it means we also offer more value to our commercial partners such as IBM or Jaguar," he says. And it is with long-term partner IBM, its official supplier of information technology, that the event is looking to use digital media to spread its message and engage with new fans. "We have been on a long digital journey over the past seven years," Mr Desmond says. He says that in 2010 Wimbledon had a very good website, but that it looked the same as the other Grand Slam tournament sites, also created by IBM. "We wanted to enhance the beauty and grace of Wimbledon. For those who could not be here in person, we wanted to give them the next-best experience," he says. "The reaction of fans has been very positive. But we are never happy. We wanted to raise the bar for 2017." Mr Desmond says that Wimbledon wants to provide a rich digital experience that ensures they connect with fans at the event and across the globe. This year the AELTC and IBM have offered a new range of digital features, which include: "We are democratising data for tennis and sports fans," says Alexandra Willis, head of content and digital at the AELTC. "We want to get under the skin of tennis matches at Wimbledon, and use digital to deepen engagement with fans." She adds: "We spend a lot of time trying to build our media assets. We are trying to reach a bigger, younger, more engaged audience." Meanwhile, social media content from the tournament is being adapted into a number of different languages. There will be Facebook pages for fans in Korea, Japan, India, and the Spanish speaking nations. And content is being produced for Weibo and Wechat in China, and for Japanese messenger service Line. "We are trying to inform fans," adds Ms Willis. "We are not just pushing content at them, we are tailoring what we do to different types of fans." With such a varied digital offering, there had been criticism in the past there was no actual wi-fi at the tournament grounds to help ease access to it. This year there will be three areas where public wi-fi is available. They are, from the entrance way at Gate 3 and along to the food court, in the ticket resale area, and at the west stand area of court 12. Organisers say they want to see how well this works, before looking to potentially expand wi-fi access in 2018. "We are not complacent about what we are doing with our media and digital assets," says Mr Desmond. "Our brand is the most important thing we have, we need to nurture and develop it. The more we can drive our content and brand, as other sports rights holders are doing, the more we can grow our audience. "And that can ultimately only help us commercially." Owen Smith - who is challenging for the party leadership - told The Guardian Mr Corbyn had let new PM Theresa May off the hook at Wednesday's session. But Jeremy Corbyn ally Diane Abbott blamed Labour MPs. She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme they had "sat on their hands" and sulked instead of getting behind him. "If Owen Smith wants Jeremy to score over Theresa May in Prime Minister's Questions, he needs to talk to his colleagues," said the shadow health secretary. "They refuse to cheer, they sit on their hands, they sulk, they chat among themselves, and some of these Labour MPs need to understand, it's not about supporting Jeremy as a person, it's about going into the chamber for Prime Minister's Questions and supporting your party. "When Theresa May came in she got huge cheers from the Tory benches. When Jeremy came in there was silence." She added: "If your own side isn't behind you it's really difficult to hit your stride. I thought he did fine but if Owen Smith is worried, first and foremost, talk to Labour MPs and get them to support Jeremy in the chamber." Mr Smith told The Guardian he was "furious" about Mr Corbyn's "useless" performance at Wednesday's big set-piece event, which saw Mrs May make her debut at Prime Minister's Questions. "Jeremy is just not up to the job of taking them on at the dispatch box. I don't think he enjoys it; I don't think he's robust enough at arguing Labour's case," he said. Mr Smith said that instead of putting together a credible government in waiting, Mr Corbyn had made Labour a "laughing stock". The event - at the Eden Project, near St Austell, on Saturday - celebrated the popular delicacy, which was given protected status under EU law in 2011. The aptly-named Graham Cornish, who works at pasty-maker Ginsters, won the two professional classes. Meanwhile, Billy Deakin, from Mount Hawke, neat St Agnes, won the Cornish Pasty Amateur category. Entrants came from as far afield as Australia and the US. The winners were decided by a panel of 21 judges. Source: Cornish Pasty Association The Cornish Pasty Association, which backed the competition, came up with the "genuine" Cornish pasty recipe as part of its successful Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) application. Marks were awarded for taste, texture, appearance, pastry crimp and technical expertise, organisers said. Mr Cornish - who won the Cornish Pasty Professional, and Open Savoury Professional categories - said he had been making pasties since he was five. He said he was "humbled" to win, saying the secret was using the freshest ingredients. Head judge Dave Menear said he and his panel had found some of the entries "fascinating". He said: "There were 102 pasties judged and we thought there were only two or three duds out of all of those." Some classes in the championships also looked at alternative recipes. Mr Menear said: "Some of the stuff we were tasting in the open category were not really a Cornish pasty, but they were amazing. Some real creativity went into it." One alternative recipe entered was a fish and chip pasty. However, Suzanne Manson, from Bristol, won the Open Savoury Amateur class. Her pasty was filled with wild rabbit poached in cider-soaked leeks, with peas and lemon zest. The pasty has been associated with tin miners in the county and was a part of many people's diets during the 18th Century. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests it was first identified around 1300. Families in Cornwall have passed down the recipe for a Cornish pasty through the generations. Variations on the pasty taken around the world by expatriates can be found from Australia to California and Mexico.

Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores and Cleveland Cavaliers' Dan Gilbert are hoping to build a new stadium for the team in the downtown of the city. In a statement, the pair said their proposal had won support from the MLS. The league is aiming to increase its size from 20 to 24 teams by 2020 and then ultimately to 28. "Detroit is rising and we know firsthand the power of sports to lift a community and drive a civic renaissance," read the Gores and Gilbert statement. "We are very excited about the prospect of bringing Major League Soccer to Detroit and building an ownership group that represents a cross-section of investors." Gilbert added: "Bringing a team downtown will also further energise Detroit's urban core, which is critical to the entire city's overall health and vibrancy." David Beckham's Miami franchise is aiming to be one of the first quartet to join the league. Miami Beckham United (MBU), the ownership vehicle behind the proposed MLS team, announced last week that the group had purchased the land needed to build a stadium. Roedd David Owen yn cerdded ar lwybr troed yn y ddinas pan ymosododd Khoung Lam arno. Roedd Mr Lam, oedd yn glaf yn Ysbyty'r Eglwys Newydd, wedi dianc rhag ei warchodwr yn gynharach yn y dydd. Clywodd y cwest bod ganddo broblemau iechyd meddwl ers 2004. Yn y gwrandawiad yng Nghaerdydd, dywedodd Mr Owen bod Mr Lam wedi bygwth ei ladd wedi iddyn nhw ddod wyneb yn wyneb ar lwybr mewn ardal goediog ar 25 Mehefin 2015. Dywedodd Mr Owen bod Mr Lam, 42, wedi tynnu ei wregys a rhedeg ar ei ôl, gan lwyddo yn y diwedd i glymu'r gwregys o amgylch ei wddf. Fe ddisgrifiodd Mr Owen sut y torrodd yn rhydd wrth iddyn nhw baffio ar y llawr. Dywedodd ei fod "wedi ymlâdd" pan lwyddodd i roi'r gwregys wedyn am wddf Mr Lam, a rhoi pwysau arno "gyda'r hynny o egni oedd gen i'n weddill". Fe ddywedodd Mr Owen wrth y crwner nad oedd wedi bwriadu lladd Mr Lam, ond ei fod am iddo fod yn anymwybodol er mwyn gallu dianc. Cafodd Mr Owen ei arestio yn dilyn y digwyddiad, ond chafodd o ddim ei gyhuddo. Roedd Mr Lam, oedd o'r brifddinas, wedi ei ddal o dan y Ddeddf Iechyd Meddwl ers 15 Mehefin 2015. Ar 25 Mehefin, roedd wedi cael hawl i adael Ysbyty'r Eglwys Newydd o dan oruchwyliaeth, ond fe ddihangodd rhag ei warchodwr. Clywodd y cwest ddatganiad gan feddyg oedd wedi asesu Mr Lam. Dywedodd ei fod yn "risg" a'i fod "angen cyfnod arall o asesu a thriniaeth yn yr ysbyty". Mae'r cwest yn parhau. Pepe had a goal disallowed for offside after a referral to the video assistant referees before Ricardo Quaresma sold the keeper a dummy and slotted in. Javier Hernandez equalised with a low header from Carlos Vela's cross. Cedric Soares' 86th-minute shot was deflected in, but Hector Moreno snatched a point in the 91st minute. Mexico defender Moreno, who recently joined Italian side Roma from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, headed in off the post from a Jonathan dos Santos cross. Earlier, Ronaldo had a header brilliantly tipped away by Mexico keeper Guillermo Ochoa, while Gelson Martins - a target for Liverpool - fired just wide on the counter for Portugal. On Friday, a source close to Ronaldo revealed the Real Madrid forward wants to leave Spain. The source told BBC Sport that the 32-year-old is "upset" after being accused of tax fraud in the country, adding: "He feels he's honest, has good character and did everything OK." Spanish prosecutors have accused Ronaldo of evading tax of 14.7 million euros (£13m), which he has denied. Later on Sunday, Chile beat Cameroon 2-0 thanks to goals from Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal and Tigres forward Eduardo Vargas. Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez came off the bench to cross for Vidal's 81st-minute header, with Vargas finishing in injury-time after Sanchez rounded the keeper but failed to beat a defender on the line. Had Sanchez found the net, he would have become Chile's all-time leading goalscorer. He currently has 37 goals, level with former Lazio and Juventus striker Marcelo Salas, who retired in 2008. Just before the break in Moscow, Vargas had a strike correctly ruled out for a very marginal offside following the use of video technology. His goal in the 91st minute was also referred to the video assistant referees - presumably to check on another possible offside - but it stood.

The idea was raised last month by NI Secretary of State James Brokenshire. NI First Minister Arlene Foster said it would have to be agreed by the UK and Irish governments and other EU states. She added that both governments had been discussing new ways to protect the borders of the Common Travel Area (CTA) even before Brexit vote in June. The CTA consists of the Republic of Ireland, the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and there are no passport controls for Irish and UK citizens travelling inside its borders. Post-Brexit, however, Northern Ireland will be the only part of the UK that will share a land border with another EU state. This has raised questions about how the Irish border will policed, how goods will be transported across it and how any new immigration restrictions will be enforced. Speaking to an upcoming edition of the BBC's Hardtalk programme, Mrs Foster said governments were "speaking this long before the European Union exit vote was taken". "How do we protect ourselves as two islands against terrorism? How do we protect ourselves in other ways? "And the way they were talking about was using the common travel area and having that special relationship between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland recognised by them working very closely together." However, the first minister added: "Of course this will have to be accepted by the other member states in Europe." "This is the trick, as it were, because we can't enter into negotiations around any of this until Article 50 is triggered and the Republic's government are very keen to point out that they are not in negotiations at the moment, they're just in discussions." Last month, Mr Brokenshire told the Guardian newspaper that London and Dublin would work to strengthen the Republic of Ireland's external borders in order to prevent illegal migrants entering the UK through the CTA. "We have put in place a range of measures to further combat illegal migration working closely with the Irish government," he said. "Our focus is to strengthen the external border of the common travel area [CTA], building on the strong collaboration with our Irish partners." Mrs Foster rejected the suggestion that the UK's reliance on the Irish government to strengthen its borders would "fly the in face" of claims that the UK would have greater control over its borders after Brexit. "No it doesn't, because you would only do it, in the terms that we're talking about, if we had full disclosure and openness between the two sovereign governments as to how it was going to work "I think it's a very interesting concept," the first minister added. "I think its a way to deal with a very particular circumstances of Northern Ireland, in terms of history and geography." Mrs Foster also said she did not envisage lorries having to stop on daily basis for customs checks every time they passed between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. However, she said there would have to be "sporadic" checks and said technology and paperwork could be used to monitor cross-border commerce. "I'm reflecting on the fact that there are many land borders across Europe at the moment and there are many different ways in which they deal with the trade between the different areas and so they do deal in technological borders and they do deal in paperwork that his settled long before it gets to the border." Arlene Foster's Hardtalk interview will be broadcast on BBC World News on Monday 5 December at 04:30 GMT. The contest featured some moments of individual brilliance from both sides, but also some dire displays, especially with the bat. England spinner turned BBC Test Match Special pundit Graeme Swann gives his series player ratings. Matches: 5; Runs: 330; Average: 36.66 Swann: "His captaincy has been spot on, aside from the ludicrous decision to bowl first at The Oval. Without scoring heavily over the series, he looks to be getting back to somewhere near his best form." Matches: 5; Runs: 115; Average: 12.77 Swann: "He has caught well at slip but has failed to grasp the opportunity to secure the opening berth alongside Cook." Matches: 5; Runs: 215; Average: 26.87 Swann: "A very disappointing series by his standards. His catching has improved in the slips since the New Zealand series but he needs to score heavily in the UAE to convince himself and others that he still has a long future in the team." Matches: 5; Runs: 460; Average: 57.50; Wickets: 4; Average: 33.75 Swann: "Exceptional. His hundreds at Cardiff and Trent Bridge were scored at times when his team needed them the most and he probably did more than any other player to help England regain the Ashes. He has gone from Test-class to world-class this summer." Matches: 3; Runs: 118; Average: 29.50 Swann: "Played well at Trent Bridge and should be nailed on to bat at five through the winter. He was dismissed a couple of times by the short ball, although both were against the quickest bowler in the world." Matches: 5; Runs: 201; Average: 25.12; Wickets: 11; Average: 33.45 Swann: "Mercurial with both bat and ball but England's best all-rounder since Andrew Flintoff. Magnificent bowling at Trent Bridge and the best catch I've ever witnessed." Matches: 5; Runs: 122; Average: 15.25; Dismissals: 12 Swann: "Has been solid with the gloves all series, but worryingly short of runs, particularly against the finger spin of Nathan Lyon. Will need to iron out these shortfalls before the turning pitches of the UAE are thrust upon him." Matches: 5; Runs: 293; Average: 36.62; Wickets: 12; Average: 45.50 Swann: "A hit-and-miss series for Moeen. His runs have at times proved vital down the order, not least at Edgbaston, and he must be the best number eight batsman England have ever had. However, his bowling is short on confidence and as a result he hasn't bowled the overs or taken the wickets that his talent is capable of." Matches: 5; Runs: 134; Average: 19.14; Wickets: 21; Average: 20.90 Swann: "Started the series strongly without a great deal of reward. England's best bowler in a disappointing affair at Lord's and bowled the greatest Ashes spell in living memory to effectively win the Ashes on day one at Trent Bridge." Matches: 4; Runs: 103; Average: 25.75; Wickets: 10; Average: 39.10 Swann: "Bags of talent. Has shown good control with the ball all summer without taking devastating amounts of wickets and produced some very useful cameos down the order. An extra mark for being both a Newcastle fan and one carrot short of a salad." Matches: 3; Runs: 9; Average: N/A; Wickets: 12; Average: 22.50 Swann: "Brilliant return to Test cricket for Steven Finn. Would have got a higher mark if he hadn't kept taking wickets off no-balls." Matches: 3; Runs: 11; Average: 2.75; Wickets: 10; Average: 27.50 Swann: "Proved himself in helpful conditions to be the best swing bowler in the world and joined the 400 club before injury ended his series. Best John Terry impression at Trent Bridge when he donned his kit for the celebrations." Matches: 5; Runs: 418; Average: 46.44 Swann: "Has been one of the more successful Australia batsmen but played the worst shot of the Ashes at Lord's to throw away a hundred. Seems to be playing with a bit more responsibility, which should bode well for his future." Matches: 5; Runs: 480; Average: 60.00 Swann: "Australia's most reliable player, he usually got them off to a half-decent start. He has had a short but highly successful career as an opener and will be hard to replace." Matches: 5; Runs: 508; Average: 56.44; Wickets: 1; Average: 16.00 Swann: "Excellent knocks in two Australia victories but technically found seriously wanting against the swinging and seaming ball at Cardiff, Edgbaston and Trent Bridge. He is not a number three and needs to move back to number four or five." Matches: 5; Runs: 132; Average: 16.50 Swann: "I'm being generous because of his exceptional career. A fairly disastrous series with the bat and had to watch his team fail to win the Ashes in England - again. Sad to see him go." Matches: 5; Runs: 201; Average: 28.71 Swann: "Got better and better as the series went on, but unable to play the Steve Waugh role in the frequent Aussie collapses." Matches: 3; Runs: 48; Average: 12; Wickets: 8; Average: 18.62 Swann: "With the ball, he looks a find. With the bat, he looks to be two places too high in the order." Matches: 4; Runs: 143; Average: 23.83; Dismissals: 17 Swann: "Has looked fairly solid with bat and gloves but doesn't look like the fulcrum which Brad Haddin was for the team to pivot around." Matches: 5; Runs: 141; Average: 17.62; Wickets: 15; Average: 34.93 Swann: "Breathtaking spell at Lord's but unable to match the stratospheric heights of his previous Ashes campaign. Has accepted the Barmy Army banter in seemingly good spirits." Matches: 5; Runs: 157; Average: 22.42; Wickets: 18; Average: 30.50 Swann: "Despite being their leading wicket-taker he hasn't bowled with anywhere near the control that he shows with the white Kookaburra ball. Definitely a big name for the future but seems strangely rough around the edges." Matches: 4; Runs: 45; Average: 15.00; Wickets: 16; Average: 25.75 Swann: "The biggest mystery of the Australia team. I expected him to enjoy the Duke ball and the English pitches but couldn't come to terms with either. His performances were put into context by the excellent Peter Siddle at The Oval." Matches: 5; Runs: 47; Average: 11.75; Wickets: 18; Average: 28.25 Swann: "The most consistent of the Australia bowlers without ever looking like winning a Test on his own. Two beauties bowled through the gate at The Oval, but the pitches were generally unhelpful." Matches: 1; Runs: 1; Average: 1; Wickets: 6; Average: 11.16 Swann: "Thank heavens he didn't play at Trent Bridge or Edgbaston. Bowled like a dream at The Oval on a featherbed wicket." Graeme Swann was speaking to BBC Sport's Sam Sheringham. The contest has been brought about by Tuesday's resignation from Parliament of former Tory MP Patrick Mercer over a cash-for-questions scandal. Mr Farage said he did not want to look like an "opportunist" by entering the contest, as he did not "have any links with the East Midlands". He added that he wanted to focus on UKIP's European elections campaign. Although the Conservatives have a majority of 16,000 in Newark, UKIP is currently doing well in opinion polls. But John Curtice, professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, said UKIP would be "trying to succeed on the back of no particular local support at all". Mr Farage told BBC One's Breakfast: "I haven't had long to think about it but I have thought about it, and we're just over three weeks away from a European election at which I think UKIP could cause an earthquake in British politics, from which we can go on and win not just one parliamentary seat but quite a lot of parliamentary seats. "For that reason I don't want to do anything that deflects from the European election campaign, so I'm not going to stand in this by-election. "I want to focus the next three weeks on winning the European elections and also I don't have any links with the East Midlands. I would just look like an opportunist, and I don't think that would work." Asked whether he had decided not to run for fear of losing, Mr Farage replied: "I have shown some courage over the years… "It's about choosing the right battles. It's about prioritising and I know that if I were to have said yes to standing in Newark the next three weeks would be dominated by am I going to win, am I not going to win, and we wouldn't be talking about open-door immigration, EU membership and that most of our laws being made somewhere else." Mr Farage referred to the former leader of the Monster Raving Loony Party, once a fixture at such contests, saying: "I'm not Screaming Lord Sutch. I don't stand in every by-election." Ken Clarke, seen as the most Europhile of the Conservative members of the cabinet, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Mr Farage had been right to decide not to run, saying: "I am not really surprised. Whatever else Nigel is, he is not an idiot, and I don't think he'd have the faintest chance of winning in Newark." He accused UKIP, which advocates leaving the European Union, of "peddling a total nonsense that our economic problems have been caused by immigration". Mr Clarke, who is a Nottinghamshire MP, said: "I don't think the residents of Newark, some of whom I know because I used to represent some of the villages there, they're not going to vote for a card, larking about, trying to get protest votes." For the Liberal Democrats, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said: "Nigel Farage is clearly frightened to put himself forward to try and actually get a seat in the UK Parliament. "He's very happily heckling from the sidelines doing his thing in the European Parliament ,and I think many people will look at this and say it's not really that impressive." Mr Mercer, who has represented the Nottinghamshire constituency since 2001, is due to be suspended from the Commons for six months for allegedly asking questions in Parliament in return for money. He was filmed by undercover reporters from the BBC's Panorama last year apparently agreeing to set up a parliamentary group to push for Fiji to return to the Commonwealth. The MP had already said he would not contest the general election next year, having served as an independent since May 2013. In a short statement, the former soldier said he would not contest the findings of a report into his conduct, to be published on Thursday, which will call for him to be barred from Parliament for six months. He said he was resigning with "a great heaviness of heart" for the sake of his family, adding: "I am an ex-soldier, I believe that when you have got something wrong, you have got to 'fess up and get on with it." The MP, a prominent critic of David Cameron, who sacked him as a shadow minister in 2007, said he hoped his successor would be a Conservative. The party has selected Robert Jenrick to contest Newark. Labour - which held the seat between 1997 and 2001 - has chosen Michael Payne as its candidate. The Liberal Democrats have yet to make a selection. At the 2010 general election, Mr Mercer won 27,590 votes. Labour came second with 11,438 votes, the Lib Dems third with 10,246 and UKIP fourth with 1,954. Meanwhile, an ITV/ComRes poll suggests that, of people who insist they will definitely vote in the European elections, 38% say they will back UKIP. The survey puts Labour in second place on 27%, the Conservatives third on 18% and the Lib Dems fourth on 8%. ComRes interviewed 2,052 British adults between 25 and 27 April. The attacks followed Monday's deadly clashes between police and opposition supporters demanding that President Joseph Kabila step down by December. The office of the main opposition UPDS was among those set ablaze in Kinshasa. It has warned Mr Kabila that it will be "treasonous" to delay elections. The polls are due in November, but the opposition fears that the president wants to postpone them in a bid to cling to power. He has not yet commented on his plans. The constitution bars Mr Kabila, who took power in 2001 following the assassination of his father Laurent Kabila, from running for office again in a country that has never had a smooth transfer of power since independence more than 55 years ago. At least 17 people were killed in Monday's clashes, including three police officers who were burnt alive, said Interior Minister Evariste Boshab. The opposition put the number of dead at 50, with one witness saying police fired live ammunition into the crowd. The BBC French service's Poly Muzalia in Kinshasa says it is unclear who was behind the subsequent arson attacks on the headquarters of the three parties. The two burnt bodies were found at the headquarters of the the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UPDS), led by veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, our reporter says. Flames were dying down at the headquarters of the Forces of Union and Solidarity (Fonus) when he visited it on Tuesday morning, after it was torched overnight. The headquarters of the Lumumbist Progressive Movement (MLP) in the north of Kinshasa had also been torched. The electoral commission was meant to announce a date for presidential elections on Monday, but has said it will not be possible to hold them in November. A government-backed effort to work out a solution to the political crisis, called a "national dialogue", has been boycotted by most opposition parties. Mr Kabila's second term is due to expire on 20 December. Last year at least 12 people died in similar protests. The migratory bird of prey nicknamed EJ is known for having drama-filled breeding seasons at Loch Garten near Grantown on Spey. So eventful are some of EJ's stays that RSPB Scotland has come to describe them as a "soap opera". With a little help from EastEnders' various plot twists, BBC News Scotland online looks at the feathered soap. EJ has been a regular visitor to Loch Garten since 2003. Her endurance - the bird flies more than 3,000 miles (4,828km) from West Africa to breed in Scotland - and determined and often tragic efforts to raise young has made her a favourite among the reserve's staff. Julie Quirie, who works at the site's visitor centre, said of EJ's latest return: "I had just arrived at work for my first day of the season, threw open the flaps at the centre, and there, sitting on a branch, eating a fish was EJ. She had just arrived, having completed her epic flight from the far south. "It may seem strange. But even after eight years working at Loch Garten, the return of the ospreys still brings a lump to my throat." EJ has raised a total 23 chicks at Loch Garten, mainly with her regular partner, a male bird known as Odin. Many of her chicks have successfully fledged. But sadly, in 2008 and then in 2009, a young male and a young female she reared died after migrating from Scotland. The male called Deshar died after he made what the RSPB described as a "navigational error" and he missed landfall in the Azores and carried on out to sea. His sister, Nethy, died the following the year in Africa. Shortly after laying eggs six years ago, EJ was forced to defend her nest against a rival female. Reserve staff monitoring CCTV images watched anxiously as the eggs rolled around the nest as the pair scuffled. EJ eventually managed to fight off the other bird, but during the same season feathers flew again when she had to ward off a kestrel, a pair of crossbill and a redstart interested in using her nest. Before Odin, EJ's long-term mate was Henry. But in 2009, staff at the reserve became concerned about VS, an older rogue male with a record for disrupting breeding seasons. In that season of seven years ago, EJ returned to Loch Garten before Henry and mated with VS. When Henry arrived he knew the eggs in the nest were not his and kicked them out, destroying the eggs. Complex relationships have been a hallmark of the breeding seasons at Highlands reserve, Back in 2007, EJ incubated two separate clutches to rival males but they all perished. And there were similar problems last year. Jess Tomes, of RSPB Scotland, said: "Last year was like something out of a soap opera at Loch Garten. "Both EJ and Odin were present but we had an interloping male osprey visiting the nest attempting to ingratiate himself with EJ while Odin was away on hunting trips. "The rival male actually kicked Odin and EJ's eggs from the nest! In the end things got so torrid that the birds failed to raise a family for the first time in years." She added: "This year we are hoping for plainer sailing and a happy osprey family. "With EJ back home our thoughts are turning to Odin. Will he reappear? Will other male ospreys try to get in on the act? Life is never dull at Loch Garten." Doof...Doof...Doof... Michael Blake, 28, died in hospital on 4 November after he was found injured near his Westhoughton home in Bolton. Nathan Quigley, 30, of Cleworth Walk, Hulme, will appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court later after he was charged with Mr Blake's murder. On Wednesday, Nathan Daniels, 27, from Stockport, appeared in court after he was charged with the same offence. Another man, aged 26, has been held on suspicion of murder, while a 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and has been bailed until 16 December. A 52-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, was bailed until 25 January. The 30-year-old is his club's record scorer with 224 goals in 203 games, but has not played since early November. "I feel fit, but there's a match fitness and an aerobic fitness that will take time to get back," he said. "It was so good to get away - this Guernsey FC project has been very intense for five or six years." Allen resumed training with the Isthmian League Division One South side this week and he is likely to be named on the bench for the trip to Chatham Town on Saturday. The Green Lions are only one place above the relegation zone, but have a seven-point buffer with seven games of the season remaining. "I've got no right to earn a place at all in the next few weeks because these boys have been here doing it all season and a lot of them are in a lot better shape than me," Allen told to BBC Radio Guernsey. "The Muratti - hopefully I can work hard and be in with a shout, but I'm not too optimistic about that. "It's more the Island Games for me - I think I've got time to get ready for that and that's a big goal, a big incentive, a bonus at the end of the season." Moon Jae-in's success in winning the contest with some 41% of the vote, while not a foregone conclusion, confirmed the expectations of many observers that the population would move leftwards rejecting the trend of the past eight years that has seen conservative candidates occupying the presidential residence, or Blue House, since 2008. At 64 years old, Mr Moon's personal biography epitomizes South Korea's progressive politics and the civic activism that shaped the democratization movement that transformed the country in the 1980s and 1990s. The eldest son of North Korean refugees who fled south in 1950 at the height of the Korean War, Mr Moon grew up in poverty, and like many of his generation spent his student days actively protesting against the authoritarian government of Park Chung-hee who dominated the country from 1961 to 1979. Trained as a human rights lawyer, Mr Moon spent the 1980s working with Roh Moo-hyun - another progressive lawyer, who would himself go on to become president in 2003 - opposing the military regime of Chun Do-hwan, Mr Park's successor. The personal connection with Mr Roh allowed Moon Jae-in to secure a ring-side seat in the Roh administration, ending up acting at the president's chief of staff and paving the way for his eventual rise to prominence as the lead of the Democratic Party, the country's main opposition force. Mr Moon's experience of challenging the establishment has made him the natural candidate for the broad cross section of Koreans who pushed for the impeachment of his predecessor, Park Geun-hye (the daughter of the former dictator), now incarcerated and on trial for a range of offences including seeking to extort $70m (£54m) from the country's economic conglomerates or chaebol. Mr Moon's key political challenge will be to realize the political aspirations of the populist, reformist movement that swept Ms Park from power and which is eager to see the transformation of the corrupt, elitist corporate and political culture that has dominated the country for many years. Post-war economic development was premised on a narrative of collective hard work and national unity and the belief that all Koreans would be the beneficiaries of rapid growth. Today, however, this image of common endeavour and gain has been challenged by widening wealth disparities and narrowing professional opportunities, especially for young Koreans. Mr Moon's reputation as a pragmatic and experienced politician should help him grapple with this challenge, but he will face a number of critical obstacles. The unique circumstances of the impeachment crisis, means he has no transition period in which to appoint key allies to leading government positions, and he will need initially to work with bureaucratic and political appointees from the previous administration. In the national assembly, his allies in the Democratic Party have a plurality but not a majority of seats, and Mr Moon will need to build a coalition of support to offset the influence of the conservative Liberty Party that occupies 35% of the seats. Needing to reach out across the political aisle, Mr Moon has already announced that he "will become president of all the Korean people". However, rhetoric is easy (Ms Park said much the same thing when she became president in 2013), and Mr Moon will need to lower expectations of an immediate, radical transformation of the country's political and corporate culture - not least because many of the privileges and abuses associated with the country's elites are also to be found more widely distributed throughout society as a whole. If domestic reform was not enough of a problem, Mr Moon will confront a plethora of foreign policy challenges. Top of the list will be confronting the nuclear threat from Pyongyang. This involves not only deflecting Kim Jong-un, the 33-year-old North Korean leader, from his single-minded pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile tests, but also finding a constructive way of working with US President Donald Trump who appears to share Mr Kim's predilection for military sabre-rattling, brinkmanship and unilateral decision-making. Mr Moon walked a narrow tightrope during the campaign, making clear his preference for engagement and dialogue with the North, but avoiding any overtly confrontational stance towards Washington. The South Korean left has a long history of anti-Americanism, but Mr Moon's experience of government under President Roh is likely to make him wary of needlessly antagonizing Washington even though he will eventually want to distance himself from the more hawkish and uncompromising approach adopted by the new US administration. Ultimately, the road to Pyongyang runs through Beijing, not least because China provides the bulk of North Korea's energy and food supplies. The recent deployment to South Korea of US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) missile defence batteries has polarized Sino-South Korean ties with the Chinese government clumsily discriminating against leading South Korean firms and seeking to bully Seoul into reversing its decision. Mr Moon will want to keep Beijing on side, in order to help secure movement with Pyongyang, but without compromising the autonomy and sovereignty of his new administration. Another potential source of bilateral tension will be with Japan. The administration of PM Shinzo Abe favours a hawkish posture of maximum deterrence and pressure on North Korea and appears supportive of Mr Trump's high-stakes approach, confident perhaps that it is not in the front line of any immediate military fall-out if the situation deteriorates into a physical conflict. For the South Koreans, a more accommodating posture may be more attractive given the exposure of Seoul and its 20 million inhabitants to the North's short-range artillery. Also, bilateral historical tensions over the status of Korean "comfort women" - sex slaves from the Japanese pre-war colonial period - are likely to be back on the diplomatic agenda as progressive politicians in the South lobby to re-open an issue that will almost certainly prove extraordinarily challenging for the new president. Ultimately, Mr Moon will need considerable diplomatic flexibility, negotiating guile, and policy-making foresight to confront these challenges - not so much a case of completely defying political gravity, but at least finding a way of floating above the fray. Dr John Nilsson-Wright is Senior Lecturer in Japanese Politics and the International Relations of East Asia, University of Cambridge and Senior Research Fellow for Northeast Asia, Asia Programme, Chatham House Heavily armed men overran the base, in the central town of Nampala, and set parts of it on fire. Two separate groups have claimed responsibility for the attack. President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita called a security meeting with the prime minister, defence minister and commanders of the armed forces after being made aware of the deaths. There are a number of armed groups in Mali, encompassing ethnic and jihadist concerns. A recently formed group said it attacked the base in response to the Malian army attacking the Fulani ethnic group. But the Islamist militant group Ansar Dine also said it was responsible. Last year, three different jihadist groups said they were behind a deadly attack on a hotel in the capital, Bamako. The French military intervened in the country at its government's request in 2013, and UN peacekeepers have also been present there. Claire Blackman, of Taunton, Somerset, told the BBC that if her husband could turn back the clock and change events of 2011, "he would do in a heartbeat". The marine's sentence has been cut to seven years after his murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter. From jail, he told the Daily Mail he felt a "profound sense of relief". It is likely he will be released soon because he has already served three-and-a-half years in jail. Blackman, 42, who was initially known as Marine A in court proceedings, was convicted of murder in November 2013. Earlier this month, his conviction was reduced to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility. His sentence was cut on Tuesday. His wife told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she felt "huge relief and delight". She added: "He's always regretted his actions. If he could turn the clock back and undo that moment, he would do in a heartbeat. "He has never denied that his actions on that day were caused by a serious lack of judgement, which we now know to be due to a combat stress disorder." She said there were "huge lessons" to learn from the case - from the court martial process to the way servicemen and women are supported in "particularly stressful circumstances". "I feel my husband had very little support out on the ground and that was certainly something that was discussed at length by the courts," she said. She said she had received support from the public, friends and service colleagues in her campaign to have Blackman freed, but there had been no engagement with the Royal Marines at a formal, senior level. Blackman watched Tuesday's hearing at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London via a video link from jail. He told the Daily Mail, which led the campaign for his release, he had been "braced for the worst". "My heart sank when the judge started talking about my current sentence being the equivalent of 16 years, and I thought it was somehow leading to a larger sentence," he said. "I just felt a profound sense of relief when they said seven [years]." He added he was "an extremely lucky man to have Claire as a wife". "We hear so many other stories of relationships going bad when you are inside. "That hasn't happened for us. Her love and support has simply sustained me." Blackman's dismissal from the military remains, although it is no longer classed as dishonourable. The case relates to an incident in September 2011 when one of two insurgents was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter and marines from 42 Commando found him in a field. Footage from an unofficial helmet-mounted camera of another marine was found during an unrelated investigation and showed Blackman shooting the Afghan prisoner in the chest at close range with a 9mm pistol. The court martial heard that Blackman used abusive language and said: "There you are. Shuffle off this mortal coil." He then turned to his comrades and said: "Obviously this doesn't go anywhere, fellas. I just broke the Geneva Convention." Blackman told his original trial he had believed the victim was already dead and he had been taking out his anger on a corpse. Reducing the conviction earlier this month, the judges said Blackman had suffered from "quite exceptional stressors" which increasingly affected him the longer he was in command. He had more than 13 years of service and had previously been deployed to Iraq on three occasions and to Afghanistan in 2007. Kezia Dugdale said she would announce her decision regarding the contest in the next few days. At the weekend Mr Murphy told the media that he would step down from his role as leader next month. Labour MSP Ken Macintosh confirmed he would stand for leadership of the party which lost 40 MPs in the election. The results left the party in Scotland with just one MP, Ian Murray who represents the Edinburgh South constituency. When Mr Murphy steps down in June, Ms Dugdale will become acting leader. However, she has yet to say whether or not she wants to keep the job. On Tuesday, Labour MSPs met at Holyrood for the first time since Mr Murphy's announcement. On leaving the meeting, Ms Dugdale said she would share her intentions in the "next couple of days". As his deputy, Kezia Dugdale will become acting leader when he goes. Although Mr Macintosh has confirmed his intention to stand, he will not formally announce that until Labour's election rules are agrees. Ipswich could have been ahead after 18 minutes when Liam Feeney hit the post with a fierce drive. Town's Brett Pitman also had an effort cleared off the line by Kortney Hause late in the first half after the 20-year-old Wolves defender had given the ball away to the striker. Matt Doherty had Wolves' best chance, but his effort was saved home goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski. The result means Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy extended his unbeaten record against former club Wolves to six games since being sacked as manager in February 2012. Town stay eighth in the Championship, but are now five points off the play-off places having managed just one win in their past four games, while Wolves stay in 12th place. Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: Media playback is not supported on this device "I felt that defensively we did well and I was pleased that the back four looked quite cohesive and competitive and we needed to be as otherwise at the start of the game Ipswich would have swept us away. "It was hard to get our passing game going through midfield which has been a feature when we have got it right this season. "While we are pleased defensively we want more. We want to be able to pass the ball and flow and it through midfield and create chances and score goals which can give us a chance of progressing. "We have been a mid-table side this season and that is what it has been. Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "I view it as a compliment (on being linked with the Aston Villa job). I can't help but feel it is a compliment when clubs of that ilk think that I am doing a good job as a manager bearing in mind that I have got two similar clubs promoted. "But I have for a job here and there is nothing I can do about whatever they are saying. I won't even talk about what another job might entail. "We have seven games and we want to get in the play-offs. My focus is on trying to get in the play-offs. "We have got two home games coming up now and I do feel that we are going to have to win them to be in the mix." All of the types of medication in question are drugs that have an "anticholinergic" effect. Experts say people should not panic or stop taking their medicines. In the US study in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, higher doses and prolonged use were linked to higher dementia risk in elderly people. The researchers only looked at older people and found the increased risk appeared when people took drugs every day for three years or more. All medicines can have side-effects and anticholinergic-type drugs that block a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine are no exception. Patient information leaflets accompanying such drugs warn of the possibility of reduced attention span and memory problems as well as a dry mouth. But researchers say people should also be aware that they may be linked to a higher risk of developing dementia. Dr Shelly Gray and colleagues from the University of Washington followed the health of 3,434 people aged 65 and older who had no signs of dementia at the start of the study. They looked at medical and pharmacy records to determine how many of the people had been given a drug with an anticholinergic effect, at what dose and how often and compared this data with subsequent dementia diagnoses over the next decade. The US study does not name specific brands, but does outline the types of treatments investigated, which include: Most of the drugs were given on prescription, rather than bought at the pharmacy over-the-counter. The most commonly used anticholinergic-type drugs were medicines for treating depression, antihistamines for allergies such as hay-fever or to aid sleep/promote drowsiness, and drugs to treat urinary incontinence. Nearly a fifth were drugs that had been bought over the counter. Over the course of the study, 797 of the participants developed dementia. The study estimated that people taking at least 10 mg/day of doxepin (antidepressant), four mg/day of diphenhydramine (a sleep aid), or five mg/day of oxybutynin (a urinary incontinence drug) for more than three years would be at greater risk of developing dementia. The researchers say doctors and pharmacists might want to take a precautionary approach and offer different treatments instead. And when there is no alternative, they could give the lowest dose for the shortest time possible. Dr Gray says some of the study participants have agreed to have an autopsy after their death. "We will look at the brain pathology and see if we can find a biological mechanism that might explain our results." Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said the study was interesting but not definitive - there was, he said, no evidence that these drugs cause dementia. Dr Doug Brown, from the UK's Alzheimer's Society, said: "There have been concerns that regular use by older people of certain medications with anticholinergic effects, such as sleep aids and hay-fever treatments, can increase the risk of dementia in certain circumstances, which this study supports. "However, it is still unclear whether this is the case and if so, whether the effects seen are a result of long-term use or several episodes of short-term use. More robust research is needed to understand what the potential dangers are, and if some drugs are more likely to have this effect than others. "We would encourage doctors and pharmacists to be aware of this potential link and would advise anyone concerned about this to speak to their GP before stopping any medication." He said the charity was funding more research in this area to better understand any connections between these and other drugs on the development of dementia. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, which monitors the safety of medicines in clinical use in the UK, said it would review any new evidence. Drug company Johnson & Johnson Ltd said many hay-fever products sold in the UK now contain newer, second generation antihistamines - not the type looked at in the study. Matthew Speers, who represents the UK trade association for manufacturers of over-the-counter drugs, said: "Over-the-counter allergy and sleeping aid products are not intended to be used continuously and people are advised to talk to their pharmacist or doctor if they need to use these products long-term. "There are a range of allergy products on the market which contain a number of different ingredients, many of which were not considered in this study." Fe wnaeth tribiwnlys benderfynu ddydd Gwener fod Neil McEvoy wedi ymddwyn mewn modd amhriodol ar ôl i swyddog Cyngor Caerdydd ddweud iddi deimlo fod rhai o'i sylwadau yn fygythiol. Fe fydd swyddogion Plaid Cymru yn trafod yr achos gyda AC Canol De Cymru yr wythnos nesaf. Mae Mr McEvoy wedi disgrifio gwrandawiad disgyblu y cyngor yn ei erbyn fel ffars. Cyn cynhadledd wanwyn y Blaid yng Nghasnewydd ddydd Sadwrn roedd yr AC Bethan Jenkins wedi cwestiynu a ddylai Mr McEvoy gael yr hawl i annerch, tra bod dau aelod cynulliad arall wedi dweud y dylai Mr McEvoy gael ei wahardd fel AC tra bod ymchwiliad yn cael ei gynnal. Fe fydd Plaid Crymu yn penderfynu'r wythnos nesaf a fydd Mr McEvoy yn cael ei ddisgyblu. "Mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n parchu'r broses," meddai Ms Wood. Roedd tribiwnlys o'r farn bod Mr McEvoy wedi torri cod ymddygiad Cyngor Caerdydd drwy fwlio a dangos diffyg parch at aelod o staff yr awdurdod. Dywedodd y tribiwnlys nad oedd wedi dwyn anfri ar swydd cynghorydd, nac ar enw da Cyngor Caerdydd. Dywedodd Mr McEvoy bod y broses yn ffars, ond yn ôl cadeirydd Plaid Cymru, Alun Ffred Jones mae'r mater yn un "difrifol iawn" ac y byddai'n cwrdd wyneb yn wyneb gyda Mr McEvoy yr wythnos nesaf. Yn y cyfamser, ar ail ddiwrnod y gynhadledd wanwyn yng Nghasnewydd, fe wnaeth llefarydd economi Plaid Cymru, Adam Price alw am ymgynghoriad ar godi treth incwm er mwyn talu am wasanaethau cyhoeddus. Ymhlith y dewisiadau mae codi'r dreth o geiniog yn y bunt er mwyn gwario ar iechyd neu addysg. Dywedodd Mr Price: "Ry'n ni'n paratoi rhaglen o lywodraethu y byddwn yn ei chyflwyno gerbron pobl Cymru yn Etholiad 2021. "Fe fyddwn ni'n ymgynghori ar y cwestiwn allweddol o beth ddylen ni wneud gyda'r pwerau treth incwm newydd, a ni fydd y blaid wleidyddol gyntaf yng Nghymru i ystyried yn agored cael ceiniog ychwanegol yn benodol ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, sydd yn buddsoddi go iawn yn y newid i system integredig ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol." North Wales Coastguard was called to help an ambulance crew to get the man off the beach in Trefor. He was then taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. His condition is unknown. The authorities there say at the time they received the call from the scene of the shooting, all ambulances "were committed" so they asked private service Netcare to send an ambulance. Eyewitnesses say it took nearly an hour for the ambulance to get to the injured star of the popular soap series Generations, although Netcare says it responded within 20 minutes of receiving the call. We want to investigate how long it takes ambulance services to respond around the continent. Tell us your experience. Please share your comments below, and we will use them to investigate and report on the state of emergency care in Africa. George Stevenson, who lives in Glenfuir Court, was last seen in the High Station Road area of the town at about 23:00 on 10 February. Officers said concern was growing for his welfare as he had not made contact with his friends or family. Mr Stevenson is 5ft 8in tall, with thinning hair on top and longer hair at the back and sides. He was believed to be wearing a green tammy hat, black jacket, long cardigan, a blue and white checked shirt, black jeans and khaki trainers. Det Insp Jim Thomson, from Police Scotland, said: "George has now been missing over a week without being seen or heard from and so far our inquiries have not led us to establish his whereabouts. "Officers will be in the area of High Station Road Falkirk near to where George was last seen and around his home address in the Summerford area of Falkirk."

"I don't know if I'll be easily fit enough, or will struggle a bit or be super-underneath and need to work harder," the 32-year-old said. While confident, he said he did not know if Mercedes would remain in front. The three-time world champion, in an exclusive interview with BBC Radio 5 live, added that he: Listen - 'I'm very happy to have Lewis as my team-mate' Hamilton lost the world title last year at least partly because he had worse reliability than Rosberg. But asked how much that hurt, he said: "Nowhere near as much as you think. It doesn't change my life. You just move onwards and hopefully upwards." Hamilton said it would be "strange" not having Rosberg in the team following the German's decision to retire last season but added: "I have rivalry with everyone so it doesn't really matter who it is against." Media playback is not supported on this device Of his new Finnish team-mate, who joins from Williams, Hamilton said: "I have known him a little bit from being at the track and he seems a really nice, pleasant guy and I look forward to working with him and racing against him. I always welcome challenges and competition." Botta, 27, added: "I've always wanted to be partnering a team-mate who is very good and Lewis obviously is. "At the same time for me it's also a big challenge. I'm still much less experienced than him but I almost see that is a positive thing and a good thing. "I'm just very happy to see Lewis as my team-mate and I see no reason why we couldn't be a good pair of team mates and race hard on track." F1 has introduced new rules this year that have changed the look of the cars and made them much faster. Swept back front wings, lower and wider rear wings, bigger tyres and a larger floor area should add up to at least a 30% increase in downforce and vastly faster cornering speeds and forces. In addition, Pirelli has been told to produce tyres on which drivers can push hard throughout a grand prix, rather than having to nurse them by driving a second or more off the pace to prevent them overheating. But Hamilton said he had concerns about whether the new rules would improve F1. "My engineers say it's going to be a lot harder to overtake," Hamilton said. "If we see overtaking is worse, it's going to be worse for the fans, the spectacle will be worse so I'm hoping that's not the case. "For example, I heard tyres might not be as grippy as we'd hoped but the aero downforce is going to be huge because it's a bigger, wider car so there's going to be more downforce, so the car behind will be affected even more than it ever was before. "And I've heard the engineers said this would potentially happen and there is an alternative route but this is the route that's chosen. "So we are where we are and I really hope that the engineers, who are the smartest guys, are wrong and I hope that the spectacle is greater and the most competitive that it's ever been and if it is, then I look forward to being part of that." Hamilton said expecting Mercedes to dominate this year in the manner of the past three seasons was "just jumping to the easy conclusion". He added: "It's a completely new slate. It might be Ferrari at the front, it might be Red Bull, we have no idea. "I think the big unknown is Red Bull, I think they always create an amazing car and this is a new area of downforce and they're amazing at creating downforce so I think it'll be really interesting to see what they pull out and I'm hoping it'll be a real mixture of competition. "I hope it'll be close so we'll be fighting with Red Bull and Ferrari. That's what the fans want to see." US group Liberty Media completed its takeover of F1's commercial arm last month, removed Bernie Ecclestone as chief executive, and is formulating plans for the future. Hamilton said: "I'm excited for the new owners who have come in and I hope they do something new and I really think they're going to bring new blood, new ideas, new ways of engaging the fans in a new and unique way. "F1 is a bit outdated in the sense that if you look at other sports they're further ahead in the entertainment factor but F1 is catching up and I think there's a lot of catching up to do." He said he believed Liberty should ask the fans for their opinions. "The first step would be to see what the fans feel they're lacking, what they feel they would want more of," he said. "I think you'd get a good balance of opinions of people who have been to a grand prix. You'd get a lot of opinions but, a bit like our government, it might go the wrong way."

The officers forced entry into the flat in Adelphi Place, Portobello, where they found the body of 88-year-old Douglas Iggulden. An inquiry has been ordered into how police responded to the initial incident. Supt Alan Porte said: "Police Scotland can confirm that a woman in her 80s passed away tonight at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. "Our condolences are with her family at this time and we continue to offer support to them as required. "This death is connection with an incident that occurred within a property on Adelphi Place on Sunday, September 27. The death is currently being treated as unexplained, however the circumstances are not believed to be suspicious. "A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal." The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner is looking at the initial response by Police Scotland to a report of concern about the couple's welfare. BBC Scotland understands the investigation concerns the timing of the police response. Theresa Villiers set the date following the announcement a panel would be set up to examine a parade dispute in north Belfast. Theresa Villiers told BBC's The View programme she would chair most of the talks at Stormont. Ms Villiers said there was no plan for an independent or American chair. At the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham in September, the secretary of state said she would convene talks about outstanding political issues in Northern Ireland, including flags, parades and the past. "The parties have received an indication that I would like to see things start next Thursday but nothing has been finally decided," Ms Villiers told The View. "But certainly I would hope we could make a start on this process next week. "A couple of days a week seems to be an important way forward, but we will be providing more details in due course. "I think what I have proposed is a common sense way to try and make some progress towards settling the dispute." The secretary of state said she was "under no illusions" about how difficult the issues will be to fix. Ms Villiers confirmed the Parades Commission would still be the body to make the determination on the Crumlin Road parade in 2015. She also said the cost of policing nightly protests at Twaddell/Ardoyne was of "grave concern" and called for the demonstrations to come to an end. "Finding a resolution in north Belfast is not going to be reached by having a protest each night," she said. "I think it's time to suspend those protests and let the PSNI focus on community policing across Northern Ireland." Super Mario Run will be released in Apple's App Store in December in more than 100 countries. It will be free to download but users will have to pay for the full game. Nintendo, which announced the tie-up at Apple's launch event for the iPhone 7, saw its shares jump 18% before falling back to around a 13% rise. Smartphones are the gaming industry's fastest growing source of revenue and Nintendo has been criticised for being slow on the uptake. However, the Japanese firm co-created the popular Pokemon Go game and released an app called Miitomo earlier this year. It plans to unveil more gaming titles by March 2017. Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto said an Android version would also be launched at a later date. Nintendo plans to move Super Mario into movies When Japan's PM appeared as Mario At the Apple launch event, Mr Miyamoto said to loud cheers from the audience, "Mario is running toward his next goal: iPhone." Mobile analyst Jack Kent, of IHS Markit, said: "Mario is one of Nintendo's core properties so it makes sense for it to come to iPhone, if Nintendo is serious about making a success of its mobile strategy." Apple is also jumping on the popularity of online gaming. Gaming phenomenon Pokemon Go will appear on the Apple Watch for the first time. The device will vibrate when users are near Pokemon or Pokestops. The suspect squeezed through a Clacton Town Hall window in the wee small hours, at about 01:00 BST. Nothing was stolen, Essex Police said, but the BBC was told the intruder left excrement in the electoral services room. Tendring District Council asked witnesses to contact the police. It is thought the break-in was captured on CCTV.

Mark Woods encouraged people on social media under #walkwithwalnut to share the last outing on a beach in Cornwall. Walnut the whippet, who was 18-years-old, has now been put down because of his ill health. Mr Woods said the reaction from people around the world who had heard about Walnut on social media had been "incredible". Writing on Facebook, Mr Woods confirmed Walnut had died. He said: "Walnut passed away this morning at 11.56am. The family and our three whippets, Monty, Nelson and Charlie were also in the room. "He went very quickly and in my arms. I am writing this post because I owe it to everyone who has supported myself, my family and most importantly Walnut. "Thank you to the hundreds of people that attended the walk this morning and to all those that had their own walks with their beloved pets at 9.30am all around the world. "I also want to thank the wonderful people of Newquay for their support which I will never forget as long as I live. God bless you all." Mr Woods said the pair been through an "awful lot together", including two marriages, three engagements and a move from London to Cornwall. He said Porth Beach, which is closed to dogs during the summer months, was Walnut's favourite beach. A Kennel Club spokesman said whippets tended to live until they were thirteen to fourteen years old, so Walnut's age was "impressive" and "certainly unusual for the breed". "The walk for Walnut is a lovely idea and will no doubt give him the send-off he deserves." It took place on the A55 between St Asaph and St George on Saturday morning with the westbound carriageway shut from Junction 27 and diversions put in place. Both lanes have since reopened. North Wales Ambulance said it was called at 11:50 GMT and the man was taken to Glan Clwyd Hospital. Bangor and Conwy football clubs delayed their kick-offs due to the delays. The collision occurred between Junction 24A and Junction 24. The air ambulance was also called to the scene, but the man was taken to hospital by road. In a separate incident on the westbound carriageway of the A55 between Holywell and St Asaph, emergency services were called to a vehicle fire at 16.46 GMT. One person was taken to hospital and treated for cuts and shock. The 46-year-old Italian missed Royal Ascot after injuring his arm in a paddock fall at Great Yarmouth on 13 June. He missed five winners at Ascot, including Big Orange in the Gold Cup. Dettori will now be absent when Cracksman, on whom he was third in the Epsom Derby, lines up in Saturday's Irish Derby at the Curragh. He will also miss the Coral-Eclipse meeting at Sandown the following weekend. Newmarket's July Festival takes place from 13-15 July. Cameras have been installed in West Alley, Hitchin, which has become a makeshift toilet as well as the scene of other anti-social behaviour. To tackle the problem, police propose to make miscreants the stars of "PPTV". Officers hope the prospect of being identified will "deter people from behaving in an offensive way". Hertfordshire Police said anyone caught will also be issued with a fine of up to £60. West Alley is a secluded area of Hitchin near Market Place. CCTV is now being used to deter anti-social behaviour in the area, which has included urinating, drug activity, rowdy behaviour and graffiti. A video image of a teenager fined after he was caught urinating there in the early hours of 10 July has been released, but with his face blurred. However, police said future images will not be obscured. Sergeant Richard Wilmot said: "We are responding directly to complaints made by the people who live in this area as the behaviour they have been experiencing is unacceptable. "We hope that this warning will deter people from behaving in such an unpleasant and offensive way. "If not, we will release CCTV images of individuals to see if the public can help us identify them so we can bring them to justice." Patrols have been stepped up in the area . The new recruits will work on the production of the Q30 model - the first large scale manufacturing of a new car brand in the UK for 23 years. This will be followed by a second smaller Infiniti model, the QX30. The company, which employs nearly 6,800 staff, said it was the "beginning of a new era". The cars will be targeted at the Chinese and North American markets. Julie Archer, 49, died three days after Stephen Archer set her on fire using a "petrol cocktail" in February 2016, Manchester Crown Court heard. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Ms Archer suffered 95% burns in the attack at her home on Surbiton Road, Newton Heath. Archer, of Victoria Street, Openshaw, denied murder. Sentencing is on Friday. The court heard Julie was left with "horror movie" injuries after Archer doused her with flammable liquid and set light to the vapours as she sat on a sofa. He had falsely accused her of murdering their father and uncle and doctoring a will to disinherit him. Ms Archer's 19-year-old daughter, Quibilah Archer-Cunningham, escaped with minor injuries after jumping from an upstairs window of the house. The family dog died in the blaze. Archer was cleared of arson with intent to endanger the life of his niece. Kirsty Walls, from the CPS, said: "[Archer] went to her house armed with a cocktail of petrol mixed with mineral spirit with the intent to cause her serious harm, and he did so whilst his niece was upstairs in the house." "After making initial comments to the police that he had intended to maim his sister, he then claimed he had been acting in self-defence when he threw a glass of petrol at her and that the ignition of the petrol had been a freak accident," she added. The 30-time Tour de France stage winner, 31, has not raced for the team since Milan-San Remo on 18 March. "Unfortunately, there is no effective specific treatment," team doctor Jarrad van Zuydam said. "His training and symptoms will be monitored very carefully and he will make a gradual return." In a message on social media, Cavendish said he was "sad to be out of action", adding: "Hopefully I can manage this effectively and be back in a few weeks." Glandular fever, also known as infectious mononucleosis, is caused by the Epstein Barr virus. "Mark has been experiencing some unexplained fatigue during training. Recent blood analysis has revealed him to have infectious mononucleosis caused by the Epstein Barr virus," Van Zuydam added. "It is difficult to give an accurate estimate of when we can expect him back at full fitness but we are hopeful of a significant improvement of his symptoms over the next two weeks." The South Africa-based team insisted that Isle of Man rider Cavendish's "main goal" remained to race at this year's Tour de France. Cycling's most prestigious stage race gets under way in the German city of Dusseldorf on 1 July, and finishes in Paris on 23 July. Cavendish has the second highest number of stage wins in its history - four fewer than legendary Belgian rider Eddy Merckx. A 15-year-old boy, from the Perth area, is seriously ill in Ninewells Hospital following an incident at about 22:00. Three of his friends received treatment at Perth Royal Infirmary but were later discharged. Police said one line of inquiry was that all four boys may have taken "a type of ecstasy tablet". Ch Insp Gary Ogilvie said: "Officers are currently investigating the circumstances of this incident but in the meantime I would urge the public, especially those planning on going out socialising tonight, to be aware of this incident and think twice of taking any unknown substance. "There is always a risk when taking substances and the only way of staying safe is to avoid drugs altogether." Police have asked anyone who may have information about the incident to contact them. The case was reopened on Monday, brought by investment fund DIS, which claims it was short-changed during Neymar's 2013 move to Barcelona. The fund formerly owned the transfer rights to the 24-year-old. The charges - which are denied by the accused, including Neymar and his parents - were dropped in July. Judge Jose de la Mata was ordered to reopen the case in September by Spain's Supreme Court. DIS, which was entitled to 40% of Neymar's transfer from Brazilian club Santos, claims it received a smaller compensation than it should have because part of the transfer fee was allegedly concealed. As well as the footballer, whose full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, and his parents, the former and current club presidents, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu and the club itself stand accused of involvement, according to Spanish news agency EFE. Since moving to the Nou Camp, Neymar has won two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, the Champions League, the European Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the Club World Cup. He signed a new five-year contract with Barcelona in October. Barcelona have already been told to pay a fine of 5.5m euros ($6.1m; £4.7m) because of tax irregularities in Neymar's transfer. Prosecutors now have 10 days to formalise their request for a trial. The accident happened on Thursday in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, says Xinhua news agency. The lift, which officials say fell 328ft (100m), mostly carried construction workers. Officials are investigating the accident, Xinhua says. "The accident occurred at the construction site, the elevator was being used for construction purposes," a local official was quoted by AFP news agency as saying. It happened at 01:26 local time (05:26 GMT), the official added. Thousands of people die every year in work-related accidents in China, where safety rules are often flouted, correspondents say. The brigadier and colonel, both bomb disposal experts, took part in the raid on a warehouse in Qalyubiya province along with police and special forces. Bombs were detonated during the ensuing battle, which lasted several hours. Officials said the militants were from Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which has claimed responsibility for a string of attacks. The al-Qaeda-linked group, which is based in the Sinai peninsula, is believed to have killed more than 200 security forces and government personnel since the military overthrew President Mohammed Morsi in July. Wednesday's raid followed an investigation that showed the warehouse, in a village near the Nile Delta town of al-Qanatir al-Khayriya, was being used as a makeshift bomb factory, officials said, adding that a large quantity of explosives was recovered. The militant cell based there is suspected of involvement in an attack on a military checkpoint in a northern Cairo suburb on Saturday that left six soldiers dead and the killing of a senior interior ministry official in January. Jonny Morris, a Labour councillor in Plymouth, made the gesture in protest after Conservative members voted to end a debate on the rise of council tax. Mr Morris said he "apologised unreservedly" but was "very angry at the closing down of debate". MP for Plymouth, Johnny Mercer, called on Mr Morris to resign, calling the Labour councillors a "vile group". Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that they have been made aware of the incident, which is being treated as a public order offence. Labour group leader Tudor Evans said: "I think we've moved as quickly as we can to make it very clear that we're not happy about it". "The Labour Party takes this sort of thing very seriously, and so we took steps last night to suspend him - pending an investigation - because we don't condone this sort of thing." More on the councillor making a Nazi salute, and other Devon news The gesture was branded "an utter disgrace" by other councillors at the meeting. Conservative MP Johnny Mercer described the pending investigation as "waffling", and said it's an "open and shut case". "Doing a Nazi salute anywhere is clearly completely inappropriate, I don't know what possesses someone to do that sort of thing - it's incredibly offensive," said Mr Mercer. "That Plymouth is being talked about today because a councillor has done this in a council debate is embarrassing - for me and for Plymouth." The budget meeting saw councillors narrowly vote in favour of increasing council tax bills by 4.49 per cent. Mr Evans said the Nazi salute had caused a distraction from the issues. "I'm now talking about this when I should be talking about the fact that the Tories have just just levied their third highest council tax rise in Plymouth's history," he said. Local authorities warned last week that services face cuts despite council tax increases of up to 4.99 per cent to help pay for elderly social care. A photo of Wolfram Gottschalk, 83, and his wife, Anita, 81, went viral after their granddaughter shared their story. Ashley Baryik, 29 said her grandparents have been separated because there is no room for both of them at the same home in Surrey, British Columbia. Mr Gottschalk, who has been diagnosed with lymphoma, is on a waiting list to move into the same home as his wife. In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Ms Baryik posted a touching image of her "Omi and Opi" wiping away tears as they held hands, adding that it was "the saddest photo I have ever taken." The image has been shared more than 6,000 times online. Ms Baryik explained that her grandparents were separated in January when Mr Gottschalk went to hospital for congestive heart failure. While waiting to be placed in nursing home, his wife, Anita, also applied for senior assisted living with the aim of joining her husband. Mrs Gottschalk was placed in a home first while her husband was moved to a transitional facility, where he continues to wait for an open bed at his wife's home. "It's heartbreaking for my grandmother, she wants to bring her husband home every night," Ms Baryik told the BBC. The couple, who have lived apart for eight months, cry every time they are able to see each other, she added. "It's been emotionally draining for both of them." Ms Baryik said she appealed for help on Facebook after Mr Gottschalk was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this week, bringing a new sense of urgency to reunite the couple. The family blamed the couple's separation on "backlogs and delays by our health care system". Ms Baryik said the family's pleas to Fraser Health had not been answered over the last eight months, but a spokeswoman contacted them on Thursday to say that finding her grandfather a bed was their number one priority. The outpouring of support, Ms Baryik said, has been overwhelming, but the family refuses to take donations in order to keep the focus on Canada's senior care system. "Taking money defeats the purpose for fighting for families who can't afford privatised beds," she said. "We want everyone's focus to be on fixing the system rather than raising money and putting a band-aid on the issue." Media playback is not supported on this device Jack was knocked down in the first round but ended strongly and floored DeGale in the last round in New York. One of the judges gave the decision to DeGale by 114-112, but the other two scored it 113-113, meaning both fighters retain their world titles. Floyd Mayweather, who promotes Jack, called the decision "bad for boxing". DeGale, 30, suffered damage to his ear drum and teeth during the contest but wanted a rematch with the 33-year-old. "I thought I'd done enough but it was the knockdown," DeGale told Sky Sports. "I've had 25 fights, I'm going to get better and I want the rematch. "I'm glad I'm still the champion and I'm coming home with the title but I'm so upset that I didn't come with the WBC belt. The main thing is I didn't lose, I'm still the champion and I can move forward." DeGale has now won 23 times, drawn once and lost once as a professional, while Jack failed to win for only the fourth time in his 24-fight career. The British fighter was making the third defence of his IBF belt and made a bright start, knocking Jack down with a straight left inside the opening three minutes. But Jack got back into the contest and had success with a number of body shots in the sixth round, and dislodged DeGale's gumshield with an uppercut in the eighth round, which later led to DeGale losing one of his front teeth. DeGale landed some punches in the 10th, but was floored by a short uppercut in the final round, which ultimately cost him the victory. Former five-weight world champion Mayweather said Jack would not fight DeGale again and would move up a weight instead. "We don't need to figure it out, I'm the promoter this is my fighter," Mayweather said. "Badou Jack has got too big for 168lbs. We have plans after this fight to move up to light-heavyweight. "This [result] is bad for boxing when it's all said and done, this is really bad for boxing." "It's quite upsetting to see that my son cannot play with his friends when they come here," says his father Usman Al Hassan, who lives on the outskirts of Nigeria's capital, Abuja. "He cannot move unless someone carries him. This makes him cry." As Mr Al Hassan strokes his son's legs, some of his daughters sit around and one of his two wives prepares a meal in a tiny kitchen off the courtyard. "I have 14 children and 13 of them are vaccinated; it is very unfortunate that when the vaccinators came around this area they missed my house and my son was not vaccinated," he says, looking at his son who is sitting on his lap. In the long winding alleys of this community, houses are packed close together. Open gutters like streams run like central veins carrying household waste water from homes. Passers-by leap over them to avoid the dirty greyish sludge. Nigeria has been making some strides in the battle against the polio, which can cause lifelong paralysis, but the task has been slow and fraught with challenges. The West African nation is only one of three countries where polio is endemic - Afghanistan and Pakistan being the other two. Last year, 122 cases of the virus were reported and the government is hoping to keep the numbers down this year. "We still continue to miss too many children. In a campaign where you aim to reach 32 million children house-to-house there are number of challenges," says Melissa Corkum spokesperson for the UN children agency's polio campaign in Nigeria. "In Nigeria there are a lot of nomadic populations on the move… there is no fixed address where you can knock on their door during the campaign," she says. "This leads to many children being... missed." Together with the government of Nigeria, Unicef is running nationwide immunisation campaigns. Polio cases in Nigeria are mostly found in the mainly Muslim north of the country. In the past few months there have been violent attacks against health workers believed to be connected with polio vaccination drives. In the most recent attack nine female health workers killed in Kano state. It is possible that these attacks were the result of religious and political leaders who have opposed the vaccine, saying it is a Western plot to sterilise Nigerian Muslims. Suspicions about vaccination programmes were fuelled in part by the Pfizer scandal in 1996 when the US drugs firm used an experimental drug during a meningitis outbreak in Kano. Eleven children died and dozens became disabled as a result. In 2003, these fears and conspiracy theories led to the suspension of vaccination campaigns in Kano, leading to a high number of children contracting the disease. Then earlier this year, a Muslim cleric and two journalists from Kano were arrested for broadcasting a report saying the vaccines were not safe. Not all religious leaders are of this school of thought and some regret the harm caused by their colleagues. "The problem was caused by those who were preaching against it," says Alhaji Attahiru Ahmad, the Emir of Anka in the northern-western state of Zamfara. He blames the slow response by the government to the statements. "They allowed them to have a field day before the intervention, and you know it's difficult to repair damage," the emir said. He and other traditional rulers in the area have been trying to counter criticism of the vaccine. During the last polio campaign in this area, a father refused to have his child immunised. He was brought to the emir who convinced him to immunise his child. However the talk of polio remains a very sensitive subject and many in these communities shy away from talking about refusing immunisation. But the Nigerian government says they are making strides in reducing suspicion among vulnerable communities. Source: Global Polio Eradication Initiative "People are becoming more aware and are realising that in fact the vaccine is safe, it's efficacious, and that other parts of the world have actually used it to eradicate this disease," says Dr Ali Pate, Nigeria's junior minister of health who also heads the presidential campaign against polio. "This [is a] collective effort. For the first time, you have the entire global community focusing on a single disease, after smallpox, to eradicate." Part of the government campaign has involved community mobilisation workers who talk to people about the benefits of the vaccine. In the case of Abubarkar, his contracting polio has had a positive effect on his neighbours. "People are aware, now they know that the disease is real," says Yakubu Yahaya, a social mobilisation officer. He has in the past had difficulties convincing the people in that community that polio as a disease was a reality. "They were saying it is either politics or religion or because they want to make their children infertile," he says. "So they are really now ready to comply with all the vaccinators." For Abubarkar and his father, the lesson learnt has been a harsh one. "I do not blame the vaccinators for missing my son, what has happened was God's will," says Mr Al Hassan. "At least because of him, others can now take this seriously and immunise their children." Those working on the government's drive against polio, will also be hoping that lessons can be learnt and they can indeed make strides towards eradicating the disease by 2014. The banknote, which will enter circulation in the next three to five years, currently features the economist Adam Smith. The Bank is asking the public for suggestions of artists ranging from painters to furniture makers. But the Bank will want to avoid a repeat of previous equality complaints. It faced criticism after the planned replacement of campaigner Elizabeth Fry on the £5 note with Winston Churchill, which left it facing the prospect of no women being used on banknote images. This was solved when author Jane Austen was announced as the image on the next £10 note. The public will be asked to nominate an artist to be considered for the banknote. They can include painters, fashion designers, sculptors, ceramicists, furniture makers, photographers and film-makers. This will then be considered by a committee which, taking into account worthiness, equality and diversity, will whittle down the list to between three and five. The final decision will then be made by the governor of the Bank, Mark Carney. He's criticising the designers after they called children born through IVF "synthetic" in a magazine interview. The songwriter, who has two children with his husband David Furnish, had a go at the pair for rejecting same-sex families and the use of fertility treatment. "How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic'," Sir Elton wrote on Instagram. "And shame on you for wagging your judgemental little fingers at IVF - a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfil their dream of having children. "Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. "I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again. #BoycottDolceGabbana." Business partners Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who are both gay and were a couple for 23 years until breaking up in 2005, have rejected same-sex marriage in the past. But in an interview with Italian magazine Panorama this weekend they went further saying they also didn't agree with the idea of gay families. "We oppose gay adoptions," they say, "The only family is the traditional one. "No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed." Domenico Dolce went on to say that having children should be an "act of love". He said: "You are born to a mother and a father - or at least that's how it should be. "I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalogue." Stefano Gabbana added: "The family is not a fad. In it there is a supernatural sense of belonging." In an interview in 2006, Gabbana revealed in another Italian magazine that he had approached a woman to be the mother of his baby but said he struggled with the idea. "I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents," he said. "A child needs a mother and a father. I could not imagine my childhood without my mother. I also believe that it is cruel to take a baby away from its mother." Newsbeat has contacted Dolce and Gabbana for comment but hasn't received a reply yet. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube But all of his statements carry within them an inherent conundrum, two contradictory perspectives that will be hard to reconcile in Syria: his stated desire to work with Russia, or at least please Vladimir Putin, and his expected efforts to contain Iran. Beyond the question of whether Trump will try to rip up the nuclear deal there is also the issue of Iran's ascendant power in the region. Trump made no secret of his admiration for Russia's president during the US presidential campaign, and his willingness to deal with Vladimir Putin. But Trump's appointments of Lt Gen Michael Flynn as national security advisor, James Mattis as secretary of defence and Mike Pompeo as CIA chief, form a trio that looks geared for a fight with Iran. Tehran has played a pivotal role in Syria to keep Bashar al-Assad in power and crush the rebels in Aleppo. But Russia and Iran are working closely together in Syria, even if they don't see eye-to-eye on everything, including the outcome of a deal. Randa Slim, an analyst with the Washington think-tank Middle East Institute, said there's no indication from any of the people around Trump that they have a formula whereby Trump would square these two contradictory positions, that are diametrically opposed in Syria. "Trump can negotiate with Russia but unless he's willing to accept a formula in Syria that keeps Assad in power, (it) will be a hard sell to the Iranians," she said. He would also need to strike a deal that would be accepted by the Saudis and other Gulf countries that have a stake in the conflict. Last week, and for the first time, Trump called for safe zones in Syria. Rather than a fully-formed proposal, it seems more like a position adopted after gleaning information and views from conversations with potential candidates for the position of secretary of state, like former CIA chief David Petraeus, who was recently still advocating the introduction of safe zones. "We're going to try and patch that up and we're going to try and help people," Trump said during a rally in Florida. "We're going to build safe zones. We're going to get the Gulf states to pay for the safe zones." This statement puts him at odds with both the Russians and the Iranians as they move forward with the Turks on steps towards a political settlement in Syria. Neither Tehran nor Moscow would be willing to consider safe zones, which would de facto help the rebels establish areas where they can regroup and continue battling Assad. During the presidential campaign, Trump's focus was on the fight against so-called Islamic State and he indicated he would give up supporting the Syria rebels. This was welcomed by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad immediately after Trump's victory. "If (Trump) is going to fight the terrorists, of course we are going to be ally, natural ally in that regard with the Russian, with the Iranian, with many other countries," Assad told Portugal's RTP state television on 9 November. A de facto division of labour could emerge in Syria whereby Iran and Russia finish crushing the rebellion, while the US intensifies its campaign against IS. But this would further embolden Iran - and again run counter to the strong views of Trump's national security team on how to deal with that country: Mattis has said that the three greatest threats to the US are "Iran, Iran, Iran". But already Iranian officials are gloating about their advances in Aleppo. "Aleppo was liberated thanks to a coalition between Iran, Syria, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah," said Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, in Tehran on 14 December. "Iran is on one side of this coalition, which is approaching victory, and this has shown our strength. The new American president should take heed of the powers of Iran." Saudi Arabia could be willing to cut a deal with Russia that helps the kingdom extricate itself from the Syrian quagmire - where it has backed rebel groups for five years with little success. But for Gulf countries, an ascendant Iran remains a key concern, as fears grow about a Shiite crescent from Iran to Lebanon, through Iraq and Syria. Faisal bin Farhan, a Saudi analyst and businessman in Riyadh said that "the Russians and Americans can agree to a deal where Iran's influence is mitigated in Syria. It would be an incomplete, unsatisfactory resolution but better than a conflict that keeps grinding on." The key to such a deal would be Trump's advisers telling him "let's do something that stops Iran from being the key power in charge in Syria." The formula for such a deal would be hard to find: Iran has no incentive to agree to such an agreement and it's unclear whether Russia could impose it on Tehran. But Trump's appointments of Flynn, Mattis and Pompeo have reassured America's allies in the Gulf who felt that Obama's eagerness to reach a nuclear deal with Iran came at their expense, and emboldened Tehran - which has fed regional conflicts, including in Yemen. "We are not comforted by the fact they are aggressive against Iran, but that they have a more realistic view of Iran's role in the region, in the sense that Iran has a negative role in the region," said bin Farhan "This team is less likely to turn a blind eye and tell us we have to share the region." But the central conundrum of how to combine that approach towards Iran with a desire to work with Russia in Syria remains intact. Brook, 29, had too much power for the Canadian challenger from the outset as he staged a third successful defence of the belt he first won in August 2014. "I want the big fights now," Brook told Sky Sports. Meanwhile, Olympic champion Luke Campbell saw off Gary Sykes to take the Commonwealth lightweight title. Like Brook, Campbell - who won gold at the 2012 Olympics in London - needed just two rounds to take victory on the undercard at Sheffield. After putting Sykes on the canvas, a flurry of powerful punches had his opponent on the ropes, forcing the referee to step in. Brook's win completed a successful return to the ring for the Sheffield boxer after a 10-month absence. He had stopped Frankie Gavin in six rounds in May last year and a proposed fight with Argentina's Diego Chaves was called off after Brook picked up a rib injury. The IBF had mandated his bout with Bizier, whose previous two defeats came against Jo Jo Dan, a fighter Brook defeated in four rounds a year ago. Brook was dominant from the outset against Bizier, who cut his eye inside the very first minute, and a second visit to the canvas for the Canadian led to the stoppage with 45 seconds left in the second round. Ghanaians do not particularly love numbers. We tend to be quite lax, especially with figures that have to do with age. Someone's date of birth or age is not considered important and very rarely features in any story about that person. I know that in many parts of the world, once you are born and you acquire a date of birth, it stays with you. It is unchangeable and you die with it. In Ghana, it is common to see notices in newspapers announcing a change in someone's date of birth. This often happens when a working person's date of retirement is approaching. People then swear an affidavit to change their profiles from the 59-year-olds they are known to be, to the 55-year-olds that they want to be so they can carry on receiving a salary for a few extra years. According to the constitution, the retirement age for most public officers is 60. Seven years younger Some people have been known to swear affidavits to change their date of birth that would put them in Primary Class One before they were born. The most dramatic Notice of Change of Date of Birth I have seen was one that reduced an official's age by seven years. I am writing about this subject because of a recent news item that I thought went way beyond the extraordinary, even for Ghana. The news report said that about 800 teachers had applied to the Ghana Education Service to have their ages changed. Some wanted their dates of birth changed to make them younger and a few wanted their dates changed to make them older than what was on their documentation. The news story was greeted with a lot of outrage and I said to myself: This must mean Ghana is finally joining the rest of the world in paying respect to dates of birth. "How can people want their dates of birth to be changed?" was the incredulous reaction to the story I heard from many young people. But then the head of one of the teaching unions came out to make a spirited defence of his members. The teachers wanted their dates of birth changed only because, according to him, mistakes had been made at the time of their employment by the payroll departments in entering the dates. This phenomenon has been possible because very few births are recorded. Once upon a time it was illiterate parents that did not bother to get the births of their children recorded and with time the date got lost in the mists of memory. A birth certificate is supposed to be provided before a child can be enrolled in school but somehow or other, many people are able to get their children into school without birth certificates. Elizabeth Ohene: This total disregard for the sanctity of dates of birth manifests in other ways that sometimes undermines all official records in Ghana. When in later life you require a birth certificate, you would go before a commissioner of oaths and offer a date that would be said to be based on the best "guessestimate" given you by your parents or family member. In much later life, when you are approaching the compulsory retirement age of 60 and you desperately want to continue to work a few more years because you can't survive on your pension, you go back to the commissioner of oaths and swear that you have now discovered compelling evidence that the original date of your certificate was wrong. For example, you were told that you were born in the year the chief of the village was enstooled (inaugurated) and you have discovered he was enstooled in 1968 and not 1965. There probably does not exist any official record of the date of the enstoolment of this chief anyway, so why make a fuss about a difference of three years? This total disregard for the sanctity of dates of birth manifests in other ways that sometimes undermines all official records in Ghana. I have seen school children who cannot be more than 14 years old who have voters registration cards. The law says you have to be 18 to register to vote. The consequences might follow you through life unless you are prepared to go on paying visits to the commissioner of oaths to acquire new dates of birth. Police recruitment advertisements have a cut-off date of 25 years. You are really 21 but have a voters' registration card that says you are 26 because you passed yourself off as 18 when you were 14. Sometimes it has been football players who try to shave off a number of years from their ages so they can participate in age-restricted competitions. These days technology is being deployed to ensure the integrity of such competitions, making it difficult for 20-somethings to participate in under-17 competitions. A lot of attempts have been made to enforce the registration of births and deaths, and so far all these attempts have failed spectacularly. There is already in existence a regulation issued by the head of the civil service some years ago which says public officials are not allowed to change their dates of birth during their time in government employment. In other words, you are stuck with whatever date of birth you enter the service with, and you cannot get younger or older by swearing an affidavit. It was always going to be difficult to enforce this directive because there are many people here who believe their ages are "confidential" and should not be advertised. You could ask someone how old they were and get a reply: Is it my official or real age that you want? One of the firm promises made by the new government is that within its first year in office, a national identification system will be in place. In other words, all Ghanaians will have identification cards with their unchangeable biometric data and none of us will be able to swear an affidavit to acquire a new date of birth. We are all holding our breath. And whilst I await this dramatic change, I have been wondering if there are any advantages in the current situation where a person's age is a changeable and confidential figure? My mind went to a sentence I read in an online article in a British newspaper earlier this year. Those who follow tennis would recognise that this was part of a report during the Australian Open: "A few hours after Serena Williams, 35, joined her 36-year-old sister, Venus, in the women's final by trouncing the 34-year-old Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, Federer, 35, somehow conjured some more retro magic to beat Stan Wawrinka, a mere 31, for the 19th time in 22 matches," the article in The Guardian said. I fear that faced with the possibility of such prose in our newspapers, many people in Ghana are going to opt to keep dates of birth a changeable and private event.

The 18-year-old from Southampton will now face Rebeka Masarova, the second seed from Switzerland, in the last 16. Finn Bass, Jay Clarke, Ben Draper, Luke Hammond, Ewan Moore and Ryan Storrie were all beaten in the boys' singles. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Storrie retired from his match against France's Geoffrey Blancaneaux when trailing 5-3 in the first set, while Somerset's Bass lost 6-1 7-5 to Canadian Denis Shapovalov, who is seeded fifth. Cobham's Draper was inconsistent with his serve as he was beaten 6-3 7-6 (7-4) by France's Evan Furness and Derby's Clarke was overpowered by the Uzbek 11th seed Jurabek Karimov 7-5 6-4. Hammond lost in straight sets, 7-5 6-1, to Mate Valkusz, the fourth seed from Hungary. Media playback is not supported on this device Taylor, who has played nine events on the senior ITF tour this year and lost in qualifying at the WTA event in Birmingham, was pleased to progress against Stefanini in windy conditions in south-west London. "It didn't quite go the way the score showed as she was very difficult to play against," the British number nine told BBC South Today. "I managed to get through it well and play the right tactics. For me there is no pressure as I am enjoying every minute on court."

You can now add tennis alerts in the BBC Sport app - simply head to the menu and My Alerts section Issues include the update causing Nexus 7 tablets to run slowly and repeatedly crash, with several users complaining they had become "unusable". The code also appears to remove apps built with Adobe Air and then prevent them from being reinstalled. Adobe said it had not been aware of this "critical" bug before Tuesday and had escalated it with Google. A spokesman for the search firm was unable to comment at this time. Android 5.0 - also known as Lollipop - is described as a "quantum leap forward" by Google and has attracted several positive reviews, fuelling desire for the software. It revamps the system's user interface, offers greater control over notifications, and makes changes to the way the OS executes code, which Google said should mean fewer "temporary glitches" than before. At the moment, it is only available to a limited number of machines, because many network operators and device manufacturers have yet to complete their own tests. However, owners of Nexus-branded machines - which are sold by Google itself - can install the software by downloading it from the firm's website or, in the case of the Asus-made Nexus 7, accepting an over-the-air update. Nvidia, LG and Motorola have also released Android Lollipop updates for some of their handsets and tablets. Dozens of messages posted to Google's own forums suggest that owners of the 2012 version of the Nexus 7, in particular, are experiencing headaches. "Some apps won't work and some crash. I wish I didn't install the update," wrote Kristen Sawyer. Another user, nicknamed StretchToo said: "Chrome is dead, unusable, Firefox just about works, the keyboard takes over a minute to load, nearly works if you hunt and peck but dies if you try to swipe." Some tablet owners have, however, suggested potential solutions to such problems. "Updated and the Nexus is [so] shockingly bad it is basically unusable, lags just rotating the screen, every task takes 10 seconds to perform if it does it [at all]," wrote Gary Looker. "I've turned off Google Now, changed transitions to zero and limited it to two background apps maximum like the good people here suggested. "I shouldn't have to do that, and many people won't know where to turn or who to listen to." Several Android Lollipop users have also highlighted compatibility problems with Air-based apps. Air allows developers to use Adobe's Flash and Dreamweaver tools to create software, and is particularly popular with indie video game makers. Examples of titles that use the tech include Machinarium, Hero Mages and Empire Four Kingdoms, while non-gaming examples include Instaweather Pro and Conqu. "We were previously unaware of this bug and contrary to other reports, were not working with Google on a fix," wrote Adobe product manager Chris Campbell in response. "However, we are working with Google on another self-signed certificate issue that is impacting in-app purchases. It's possible the two are related, but we do not have enough information at this time to determine one way or the other. "That said, we'll be escalating this issue with Google immediately." Reports elsewhere suggest some users are experiencing problems with text messages, the way contacts are managed, and wi-fi connectivity. Bugs in major software updates are not uncommon. Apple apologised in September after faults with iOS 8 caused some of its new iPhones to be unable to make and receive calls, and also restricted their Touch ID functionality. One expert said in general, there were benefits to waiting a few days after a release date before installing upgrades. "With any software update it makes sense to watch and see if there are any teething problems," said Ian Fogg, from the IHS Technology consultancy. "Consumers like it and benefit when their devices gain a new lease of life with new features - but they expect what they used to use to continue to work, and that can be tricky. "What's striking about Android Lollipop is that it's reaching devices from more manufacturers, more more quickly than previous versions of Android. "Motorola, LG and Nvidia have devices receiving Lollipop almost at the same time as Nexus devices. "That has benefits to consumers who get it quicker... but of course makes it more complex for Google, which has to manage problems across a wider range of phones and tablets early on." The woman was struck on the line between Broughty Ferry and Carnoustie shortly after 09:00. ScotRail said services between Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street were affected. A British Transport Police spokeswoman said: "We were called at 09:11 to reports of a person having been struck by a train in the Broughty Ferry area of Dundee. "Officers attended along with the ambulance service. "Sadly a person died at the scene." The spokeswoman said the incident, which happened about 200m north of Broughty Ferry railway station, was not being treated as suspicious. She said: "We are now working to identify them and to inform their next of kin. "Our thoughts are with all those involved." A committee will examine claims of abuse at Knottfield Home in Douglas, which closed in 1983. Tim Baker MHK told Tynwald, "government has not properly investigated or acknowledged what went on" at the home. Police from the UK examined allegations in the 1990s, which ended in a former employee being imprisoned. Last year, additional complainants came forward and a Manx police investigation took place. One of the complainants was a constituent of Mr Baker. The MHK told Tynwald: "Whilst I understand that the evidence was strong the matter did not, however, proceed to trial. "I understand that this was primarily because of the age and medical condition of the accused." The Manx parliamentary committee, which has been asked to reveal its findings by December, has also been instructed to "investigate the adequacy of current procedures to protect from abuse children in care" and to issue its report next March. A government spokesman said all information submitted to the committee would be treated in confidence. Written evidence "relating to policy matters" may be published, however. Mr Baker added: "The experience has had, and still has, damaging consequences for the victims - it is not something that has gone away. "Many have had no opportunity for counselling, support or assistance to work through or to move on from the experiences that they suffered whilst in the care of the government - they need to achieve closure and for this they need our help." The deadline for written submissions is 12:00 BST on 30 August. But the youngster was lucky to make it to his hero after being "smoked" by a security guard, as he was tackled to the turf. Charlie Lines raced on to the pitch to celebrate with his All Black heroes as they completed their lap of honour following New Zealand's 34-17 win over Australia, when he was tackled to the ground by a member of security. But double World Cup winner Williams picked the 15-year-old up off the floor, and allowed him to join in the celebrations with the players before draping the medal over his neck. "He got smoked by the security guard, like full-on tackled," said rugby league convert Williams, a former New Zealand national heavyweight boxing champion. "It was pretty sad. He's just a young fella obviously caught up in the moment. "If that was a younger brother or cousin, I would have given the security guard a hiding. But I just picked the kid up and took him back to his old lady and tried to make the night more memorable for him." Lines' parents later wanted to return the medal, feeling "it was the right thing to do", but Williams has insisted he can keep it. He was then presented with a replacement by All Blacks captain Richie McCaw at the World Rugby Awards in London on Sunday. Williams came on as a second-half replacement and his offload set up Ma'a Nonu to score the second of three New Zealand tries. The 30-year-old was lauded for his sportsmanship when he consoled opponent Jesse Kriel in the wake of the All Blacks' semi-final win over South Africa. Explaining his decision to give away his medal, he added: "I know he'll appreciate it and when he gets older he'll be telling his kids - that's more special than it just hanging on a wall. "Better for it to be hanging around his neck than mine. I'm sure he'll remember it for a while. His mum was pretty happy. He had an All Blacks jersey on so he might be a future All Black." All Blacks world record points scorer Dan Carter, who is retiring after Saturday's final, described Williams' gesture as "priceless" and added: "It just goes to show the kind of guy he is. He's very giving. I'm not so sure if in the same situation I'd do it." Greek PM Alexis Tsipras called the referendum for 5 July, but Greece's current bailout expires on Tuesday. On Saturday, creditors are expected to address a Greek request to extend that bailout until the vote is completed. As the Greek parliament debates whether to ratify the referendum, queues have formed outside banks in Athens. Many fear that Greece's central bank might start restricting withdrawals. It is unclear what would happen if Greece does not get a temporary extension. Greece has to make a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) payment to the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday, and there are fears Greece's economy could collapse if no new deal is struck. EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said on Saturday that "where there's a will there's a way", but German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the "negotiations apparently have been declared at an end'' by Mr Tsipras. In a televised address late on Friday, Mr Tsipras described the bailout plan as "humiliation" and condemned "unbearable" austerity measures demanded by creditors. Some opposition figures accused Mr Tsipras of using the vote to push Greece out of the EU. Throughout the ups and downs of the recent negotiations, Greeks have by and large resisted the urge to withdraw money from their accounts, pinning their hopes on a last minute deal with the country's creditors. But as the deadline for Greece's €1.6bn payment to the IMF looms, and with Mr Tsipras calling for a referendum next week, lines have begun to form outside ATMs and bank branches in Athens. One bank has imposed withdrawal limits of €3,000 per account, and many ATMs have handwritten "empty" signs on them. I visited half a dozen bank branches in the city centre, where the demand for withdrawals was so strong that customers were given a ticket number, and told to come back in a few hours. One man told me he was 170th in line. "The game is over," Peter, one of those queuing, told me. "Greece is going into uncharted waters, and the banks will be closed on Monday, I suspect." Anxiety is mounting in Athens. "Everybody's really scared," Elena, a woman in her 20s, tells me as she waits to withdraw cash from an ATM that is still dispensing. "We need to have enough money to last the week." The head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, said that creditor institutions had "always showed flexibility to adjust to new situations in Greece". Speaking ahead of Saturday's meeting between creditors and Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, she said she would again be recommending a balance between structural reforms and fiscal consolidation. European finance ministers had to consider "whether there's a possibility or not of an agreement", said Mr Moscovici. "Greece's place is in the eurozone," he added. "When I look at where we are I see differences but they are quite limited and well identified." But Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who leads the group of European finance ministers, said he was "very negatively surprised" by the Greek government's decision on the referendum. The government portrays the referendum as yes or no to austerity. The opposition says it is, in effect, yes or no to Europe. Some of them say the referendum itself is unconstitutional, and are urging the Greek president to reject it. But Mr Tsipras will argue that he had no other option. He was elected to get a better deal rather than no deal at all. But no better deal was on offer. As for Greece's creditors I think they will be one part flabbergasted, one part anxious, and one part wondering what on earth they do next. But several eurozone finance ministers, arriving in Brussels for their fifth meeting on Greece in little more than a week, said there was no question of accepting Mr Tsipras's request to extend his country's current international bailout by a few days, to prevent the Greek economy collapsing before a referendum can be held. Some of the ministers will now want to focus on Plan B instead - how to ring-fence Greece and protect the rest of the eurozone from any potential economic shocks ahead. BBC economics editor Robert Peston said that if the European Central Bank continued its emergency support, some members of its governing council feared it would be breaking all central banking rules. Of the meeting with Mr Varoufakis, Mr Schaeuble told reporters: "We'll see what he says. With Greece, apparently you must never rule out surprises. "But to be honest, none of the colleagues I spoke to beforehand sees any possibility for what we can do now.'' What if the Greek talks fail Can Greece stay in the euro? Chris Morris: Tsipras may face impossible choice How did Greece get in this mess? The incidents both happened at the Ladywell Pharmacy, Fernbank, Livingston at 16:40 on Saturday 7 September 2013 and at 10:10 on Saturday 14 June 2014. Police are appealing for people who can identify him to come forward. He is white, 5ft 7ins, of medium to heavy build, with short dark coloured hair and has a Scottish accent. Det Supt Pat Campbell, of Police Scotland, said: "These robberies have been terrifying for the staff inside the pharmacy and our officers have been making extensive enquiries to find the man responsible. "It is of particular concern that this man appears to have targeted these premises on two separate occasions." "The fact that a significant amount of medicine has been stolen and is in the wrong hands is an obvious concern, and we would urge anyone who may recognise the man pictured or is able to provide any information that might help our investigations to get in touch immediately." But Tory former Lords leader Lord Strathclyde warned peers that delaying its passage in subsequent stages would be "comprehensively damaging" for the upper chamber's reputation. The private member's bill would enact PM David Cameron's pledge to hold an in/out referendum in 2017. Labour warns of a possible "devastating economic effect" if it becomes law. Conservative backbencher James Wharton stewarded the legislation successfully through its Commons stages, despite Labour and Lib Dem efforts to delay its passage, but it is likely to face a tougher time in the House of Lords. Peers approved the bill at second reading, the parliamentary stage at which MPs or peers consider the general principles of the legislation, without a vote, after a debate lasting nearly seven hours. The bill now proceeds to more detailed scrutiny, when Labour, Lib Dem and pro-EU Conservatives are expected to join forces to try to amend the bill. If amended, the legislation would need to clear the Commons again by the end of February or it will again face the risk of running out of parliamentary time. By James LandaleDeputy political editor If this bill fails, the government could take the unusual step of re-introducing an identical bill and using the Parliament Act - a piece of legislation which enables the Commons to over-rule the Lords - to force it on to the statute book. But despite David Cameron's backing for the bill - part of efforts to prove he is serious about holding a referendum - he may opt not to take such a step. Even if the bill successfully becomes law it does not guarantee a referendum in 2017 since no Parliament can bind its successor. Speaking in Friday's debate, Lord Strathclyde said: "We do have the power to block the bill but I believe we do not have the authority to do so. "Nobody outside this House would understand why the Lords were deliberately denying the people their say on this issue. "I hear it whispered that a small number of peers plan to stop the bill, to use our much valued free and open procedures to disrupt progress, and therefore delay the bill, and therefore use time to stop it from becoming law. "I can think of little else that would be so comprehensively damaging to the well-earned reputation of the Lords for fair-minded scrutiny." Lord Dobbs, the Conservative peer who is spearheading the bill's passage through the Lords, earlier told Radio 4's Today programme that Europe had become a "pestilence in our political system" and "we need to get rid of this burden". "Nobody below the age of 60 has ever had a chance to have a say on this issue," he said. "We need to decide one way or another whether we are going to stick with Europe or leave." Opening debate in the upper chamber, he added: "This bill is needed and it is very much wanted." But Labour frontbencher Lord Liddle argued: "We all know this is not really a private member's bill - it is a Conservative bill, it is a party bill, full of Conservative Party purpose. "That purpose is to try and create a semblance of unity in a party that is deeply divided on the question of the European Union and at the same time to convince voters tempted by UKIP not to follow down that path." He added: "If the business world was to think seriously that this Bill had the slightest chance of passage and that the Conservatives were likely winners of the next general election, the uncertainty generated over our continuing membership of the EU for the next four years could have a devastating economic effect." Labour peer and former European Commissioner Lord Mandelson accused the Conservatives of "grandstanding" to UKIP while Lib Dem peer Lord Oakeshott said a referendum was "the coward's way out". "They are an abdication of responsibility by leaders and parties who haven't the courage to take a decision," he said. Ex-Labour leader Lord Kinnock argued that this bill only "exists because the prime minister, through a series of lame gestures and rejected assurances, has tried to assuage the militant Europhobes in his party and has failed". "His efforts have been as fruitless as appeasement always deserves to be," he said. But UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the two Labour former commissioners were not impartial participants in the debate, claiming they were contractually obliged not to criticise the EU. "What justification is there in giving those in receipt of conditional EU pensions any credence at all on the subject?" he said. "They should both declare the conflict of interest and step far away from the debate if they want the general public to have any faith at all in UK politics." He also accused peers for "throwing spurious amendments at [the bill] to make it run out of parliamentary time". Both the prime minister's deputy Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband have warned of the uncertainty and damage to business they say would be caused by committing to a referendum in 2017. Not often, I bet. Yet, as Claire Woodcock, strategy manager at digital agency, Razorfish, says: "Adults are no different to children in that we learn best through play." Gamification - using elements of game play to make people engage more with brands, products and company diktats - certainly seems to be thriving. But is it more than just a gimmick? Kingfisher, owner of the B&Q, Brico Depot and Screwfix brands, believes so. It adopted gamification to raise awareness of pensions and savings among its 36,000 employees. Communications agency Teamspirit created a gaming app for them called "Bolt To The Finish" involving characters from the fictional Bolt family collecting coins and being chased by a nut (of the metal variety). As staff play, the game educates them about pensions saving. For instance, the younger you start saving for a pension the better, so the younger character Sanjay has a less challenging time than an older character. "The game was educational whilst entertaining, and encouraged players to think about pensions in a different way - great for changing behaviour," says Banafsheh Ghafoori, pensions technical and communication manager at Kingfisher. "In terms of the game itself, the statistics have been great, with the leaderboard element encouraging replays and reinforcing the messages." As a result, the group saw a 20% increase in the number of staff choosing to save into their pension at the maximum contribution level, says Ms Ghafoori, while 78% said the game had encouraged them to think about saving for the future. Gamification can generally be considered successful if it gets people doing something in which they previously lacked motivation, argues Lauren Ferro, gamification consultant and doctoral researcher at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. But she takes it one step further: "For me, success is when people are changing their behaviour beyond the novelty - they are able to develop lasting changes." As well as changing behaviour, gamification is being used to assess behaviour - in recruitment, for example. When software company SAP wanted to recruit from a wider range of people, it worked with business consultancy The Chemistry Group to create a game combining social media with personality assessments. Players log in to the game via their Facebook accounts and data on their Facebook "likes" is correlated with their game behaviour, and data from other assessments, to create a personality profile. "The gaming tool gives a better experience for applicants by helping to show what it would be like to work for SAP so they can see if it's right for them and, at the same time, allows us to see if this candidate is right for us," says Matt Jeffrey, SAP's vice president head of global sourcing and employment branding. He says that in future the tool will allow SAP to tap into latent talent by engaging with people who might not have any immediately relevant experience. "It will tell them where they could fit into SAP and invite them to apply for a job," he says. Gamification is also used to incentivise customers to use a product more often. For example, Romanian app developer, T-Me Studios, launched its Redraw Keyboard in September to replace the standard keyboard on Android devices. The new design aims to enhance productivity through tools such as instant translation and Google Docs integration. Users can also personalise their keyboards with different branded themes and emojis. But T-Me rewards users for the time they spend using the keyboard app. "The more they type and the more emojis they use, for example, the more rewards they get," explains Ioanina Pavel, the firm's head of content and social media marketing. The rewards translate into coins that can be used to access more tools, while a leaderboard pits users against each other and encourages competition. Since launch, the keyboard has already amassed more than 1.4 million users, with 300,000 of those using it every day. "The gamification feature is one of the most popular features of the Redraw Keyboard," says Ms Pavel. Gamification has certainly matured, says Brian Burke, analyst at research consultancy Gartner. "A few years ago it was scattergun - people were trying to apply gamification to everything and clearly that had limited success," he says. "Marketers saw it as a shiny new object and they all wanted some, but that has really slowed down." Ms Woodcock agrees that businesses are starting to see past "gimmicky campaigns" and understand why gamification is useful. "We're starting to see companies apply gamification to hard problems, particularly to help people with their finances," she says. "From start-ups like Cleo AI, which gives you a running breakdown of your finances, to traditional business like Aviva, who have just launched a pensions calculator which uses gamification principles, companies old and new are embracing game design techniques." Nurses have even been using a board game - The Drug Round Game - to help sharpen up their skills. A general rule of marketing is that the more engaging advertising content is, the more successful it will be. And games can certainly make ads more fun. Aflac, one of the largest insurance companies in the US, worked with video platform Innovid to develop its "Save the Duck" game involving clicking on leaks as fast you can to earn points. The engagement rate was 67% higher than Innovid's industry benchmarks for interactive video, and 431% higher than traditional pre-roll ads, the company says. Viewers spent 75 seconds engaging with the content, on top of watching the 30-second video. "One of the keys to getting it right is to make sure the gaming element is not at the expense of the message the advert is trying to convey," says Tal Chalozin, Innovid's chief technology officer. In other words, identify clear objectives and then work out whether Monopoly or Minecraft will float your audience's boat. Or even their duck.

The first of these families are due to arrive in the region early next year. Highland Council has made an appeal to private landlords and people who own vacant properties to come forward with offers of housing. Council leader Margaret Davidson said: "We are keen to hear from people who have property available and could assist us in housing refugees when they arrive in the Highlands. "Ideally we are interested in property that is available for longer-term rentals. "We will have to match up available housing with other essential services, so we might not be able to use every property offered, but we would be pleased to hear from you." December's devastating floods in northern England seem a world away from the Pacific Ocean but anyone embarking on a meteorological whodunit will inevitably have to stop off in the world's largest ocean and investigate further. As well as being exceptionally wet, December 2015 was the UK's warmest December on record. Basic atmospheric physics tells us that warmer air can contain more water vapour and in December this translated into persistent rainfall that drenched the hills of northern England and caused the severe floods that swept downstream. Peter Stott, head of climate monitoring and attribution at the Met Office said "2015 was a record-breaking year for our climate. Global mean temperatures reached 1°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time and the year's average global temperature was the highest ever recorded." In the search for the source of this warmth why are meteorologists pointing their fingers towards the Pacific? El Nino. It's the name given to a natural phenomenon, the occasional warming of waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. In 2015 we witnessed this latest El Nino event becoming one of the strongest on record. During El Nino a large expanse of Pacific water becomes warmer than average altering the usual heat exchange pattern with the air above it which goes on to influence weather patterns in a chain reaction around the world. Analysing the reasons for the December floods, the UK Met Office says El Nino contributed to a persistent weather pattern stretching from the Pacific across North America and the Atlantic that resulted in unusually warm, moist air reaching the UK. As eye-catching as the effects of El Nino have been in the UK and elsewhere, the warming of the Pacific only reached its peak in the second half of 2015 and scientists say attributing all or even the majority of the year's global temperature increase to it would be like giving star billing to an actor who only appears in one scene of a movie. More likely is that natural weather cycles such as El Nino are becoming aligned with man-made heating to boost global temperatures to new heights. The star of the heating show remains emissions from industry and agriculture adding to the greenhouse effect and trapping more of the sun's energy and heat within our atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is now higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years and reached a record high in May 2015. El Nino's warming influence will be felt well into 2016 so the potential is very much there for this partnership with man-made heating to produce further global temperature headlines this time next year.

Bronze medallist Tyrone Pillay says he was prevented from boarding an internal flight from Johannesburg to Durban as he made his way back from Brazil. On Twitter, the athlete called the airline "disrespectful". South African Airways says he should have been allowed on board with the prosthesis and is investigating. "Our policy makes provision for passenger assistive devices to be carried into the cabin," said airline spokesperson Tlali Tlali. "Mr Pillay's prosthetic legs fall under this classification and should have been allowed." He said Mr Pillay was unable to keep the prosthetic leg with him in the plane's cabin, but it was unclear what had happened to it. "We have offered an inconsistent service. He was allowed to board our flight from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg, so we want to establish from the staff member here exactly what happened," he added. Mr Mallon, a Dublin-based director of THG Sports, was granted bail after a Supreme Court ruling in Brasilia. He was released from the maximum security Bangu 10 prison at about 22:00 local time (02:00 BST). Mr Mallon and his legal team left the prison without making any comment. Under his bail conditions, Mr Mallon must stay in Brazil and adhere to a 20:00 local time curfew. He must also inform authorities as to his whereabouts and is banned from all Olympic and Paralympic venues. Mr Mallon was also due to be electronically tagged. A court in Rio ruled it was not necessary after his release was delayed because of a lack of electronic ankle bracelets. The THG director was arrested on 5 August. Police said that more than 700 tickets, organised in envelopes and marked for sale, were found in a safe with him. THG, a corporate and sports hospitality group based in London, said Mr Mallon did not sell or seek to sell the tickets but was holding them for collection by clients of Pro 10 Management. Pro 10 are the authorised Irish ticket reseller. On Saturday, THG said it welcomed the news of Mr Mallon's bail and would work to secure his full release. It said it believes the company and its executives will be vindicated when all of the evidence is reviewed. It is believed Mr Mallon has been sharing a cell with former OCI president Pat Hickey in Bangu 10 prison. Mr Hickey, 71, has also been arrested in connection with illegal ticket sales. He denies any wrongdoing. On Friday, Irish foreign minister Charlie Flanagan agreed to meet with the family of Mr Hickey after they said they were "gravely concerned" about his health and his continued detention. The Olympic Council of Ireland has appointed accountants Grant Thornton to conduct an independent review of its handling of ticketing arrangements for the Rio games. It says the review will be completed by 10 October and passed to Judge Carroll Moran to consider as part of the Irish government's inquiry deliberations. Daryl Wallace, 19, made a brief appearance in private before Sheriff Kevin Drummond QC. No plea or declaration was made and the case was continued for further inquiry. He was released on bail. His appearance follows reports of an attack on a 27-year-old woman in a wooded area of Dalkeith in the early hours of Sunday 28 June. Manisha Moores said Iranian-born Bijan Ebrahimi had come to England as a refugee in 2001 to find a better life. He was arrested by police after he was seen taking pictures around the Bristol estate where he lived. Avon and Somerset Police said there was no proof to back up the allegation he was a paedophile. Ms Moores said her brother had "no doubt" that he was coming to a safe place and that he did not believe anything bad would happen to him in the UK. Mr Ebrahimi had been suffering racial and physical abuse on the estate he lived on in the Brislington area of the city, said Ms Moores. She added he was told he needed to provide photographic evidence to support his allegations of harassment and damage to his property. But in July local people believed he was inappropriately filming children and he was wrongly accused of being a paedophile. Police were called and he was arrested on suspicion of a breach of the peace. He was taken away as a crowd reportedly shouted and called him names. Officers later examined his camera, videos and computers but found nothing suspicious and he was released without charge. Avon and Somerset Police insist Mr Ebrahimi was not a paedophile and that there was absolutely nothing to stand up the allegations. Mr Ebrahimi's sister said he returned to his house believing he would get support from the police if he needed it. Within two days he had been beaten to death and his body set on fire after it was doused in white spirit. Ms Moores said police should have realised he was coming back to a "hostile environment". "Maybe Bijan wasn't understanding the tension but for people with experience like the police they should have at least explained to the people there wasn't any evidence of what they were accusing him [of]," she said. "We feel so let down by the police and other agencies and we would like to know why." Lee James, 24, of Capgrave Crescent, Bristol, admitted his murder, at Bristol Crown Court. Stephen Norley, 24, also of Capgrave Crescent, was originally charged with murder but that charge was dropped and he admitted assisting an offender. Both men are due to be sentenced on Thursday. The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), is investigating the circumstances of Mr Ebrahimi's dealings with the force. Three officers have been suspended by the force while the IPCC looks at the way it dealt with him in the days leading up to his death. While the outcome of that investigation is yet to be published, Ms Moores said the family wanted to know exactly what happened to Mr Ebrahimi in the last couple of days of his life. "He made so many calls [to the police] and we want to know why, if he asked for help, they didn't give him the help he deserved?" The family found out about Mr Ebrahimi's death as they waited at an airport to come home from a Spanish holiday. She said: "It was such a terrible, terrible moment being in the airport and hearing the news. "You never think anyone could do such a barbaric act. "We are devastated and haven't come to terms with losing Bijan... losing someone in such a way is unimaginable." She added: "We go as many times as we can to his grave to cry and to feel that he is there. "We couldn't say our goodbyes to him, we couldn't see his face and we couldn't bury him in the time that our religion allows us to do - we had to wait a long time to be able to do that." His family believe he was picked on as he lived alone, was disabled, vulnerable, and because "he was different". "He was an easy target - it was a hate crime and [that was] obvious from some people's reaction in the last few days of his life," said Ms Moores. "It was devastating for us to hear [the allegations] - I don't know where that had come from - he was not a paedophile. "I hope people understand the consequences of these rumours and the allegations against innocent people and what it's going to lead to. "They're going to regret it for the rest of their lives." Avon and Somerset's Chief Constable, Nick Gargan, said collectively agencies and authorities had failed Mr Ebrahimi. Ms Moores said the news left her "disappointed, frustrated and sad". "How could anyone be failed by so many agencies? "If they helped him find a safer place... then that could have prevented what happened to Bijan." That is 57% above average for the summer month, making it also the wettest July on record since 2010. The UK as a whole saw 107mm of rain, or 37% more than normal, with all areas receiving more rain than average. According to the Republic of Ireland's weather service, Met Éireann, most areas across Ireland were also wetter than normal. Shannon Airport had its wettest July since 1946 when more than double the average rain fell at the County Clare site. However, it was also the sunniest July in Northern Ireland since 2013 with 170.5 hours of sunshine, or 21% more than normal. This reflects the fact that we enjoyed some warm and sunny weather during the first 18 days of the month. The figure for the UK as a whole was 171 hours - which is normal for the time of year. Temperature-wise, July was fairly unremarkable with an average temperature of 14.4 celsius, just 0.2 celsius below normal. They tour New Zealand in 2017, with Wales' Dan Biggar and Ireland's Johnny Sexton of Ireland the leading contenders to be fly-half. Ospreys' Biggar faces Leinster's Sexton on Friday, and ex-Lion Phil Bennett rates them among the world's best. "Those going to the Liberty will see two world-class fly-halves," he said. "They're two outstanding 10s, probably in the top five in the world." Leinster, who are second and just one point behind leaders Scarlets, have won their last six Pro12 games. The seventh-placed Ospreys are aiming to emulate their Irish opponents as they aim for a sixth successive league victory. Bennett believes the clash between Biggar and Sexton will be pivotal to the result between Ospreys and Leinster. The former Wales fly-half also thinks the two players are in prime position for the 2017 Lions tour of New Zealand. "There's a long way to go before we talk about the Lions tour," Bennett added. "People will be looking at Dan Biggar's form in New Zealand [where Wales are on tour in June] when he's facing the All Blacks. "But those two players are leading the race to be the top two fly-halves to go down to New Zealand." Media playback is not supported on this device Cuadrado has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract for a fee which could rise to £26.8m. The 26-year-old, who impressed for Colombia at the World Cup, joined Chelsea after fellow winger Andre Schurrle moved to Wolfsburg for £22m. Salah, 22, moves to Serie A side Fiorentina until the end of the season. The Egypt winger has made 19 appearances for Chelsea since joining the club from Basel for a fee in the region of £11m in January 2014. However, he has only started six Premier League games. New Chelsea signing Cuadrado said: "I am very happy and thankful for this opportunity I've been given. This is a great club and honestly it is like a dream to join the Chelsea family and to know that the manager believes in me. I'm happy." It is thought Cuadrado, who has scored five goals in 37 international appearances, had a release clause in his contract of £26.8m. Cuadrado played in Italy for five and a half years, initially joining Udinese from Medellin in his homeland in 2009. After a loan spell at Lecce, he moved to Fiorentina in 2012 and scored 20 goals in 85 Serie A appearances for the Florence side. Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella revealed the deal was imminent on Friday, saying: "It was a sale that had to be done. "Cuadrado is a player that has always arrived with a smile and given everything to Fiorentina - I'm happy for him because he is going to a big club." "James Rodriguez was Colombia's undoubted World Cup star - but Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was not far behind. "Chelsea's new acquisition solved Colombia's tactical problem. The defensive line had to sit deep to protect veteran centre back Mario Yepes. It was Cuadrado who kept dragging the team forward and opening up the pitch with his sustained pace and effervescent dribbling down the right flank. "He is at his best as a wide right-midfielder - especially as over the last couple of seasons he has started scoring more goals. But he can also feature as an attacking right-back, or cut in from the other flank. "Some three years ago a Premier League giant had a look at Cuadrado but concluded that he was too old - a strange decision given that he is still only 26, and should be looking forward to playing his prime years under Jose Mourinho, who will certainly enjoy the pace on the transitions that his new Colombian acquisition will bring to the side." McNulty scored as Portsmouth beat Championship club Ipswich 2-1 in a third-round replay at Fratton Park. And League Two Pompey will host Premier League club Bournemouth on 30 January. "Everyone's excited, it will be a sell-out. It's not just exciting for the players, it's great for the fans too," McNulty told BBC Radio Solent. Media playback is not supported on this device Portsmouth and Bournemouth last met in a competitive fixture in February 2013, when goals from Lewis Grabban and Marc Pugh gave the Cherries a 2-0 victory in League One. Since that match, the two clubs have gone on differing paths, but Pompey are among the contenders for automatic promotion from League Two. "That's the great thing about the FA Cup," Sheffield United loanee McNulty added. "You get the chance to test yourself against the best players in the country. "We're really looking forward to it, playing against a Premier League side is very exciting." Peter Dutton said five detainees were injured, but could not confirm reports that police had used rubber bullets. The immigration department said all areas of the facility were back under "full and effective control" after police used "some force". The disturbances began on Sunday after an escaped detainee was found dead. Inmates had started fires inside the buildings and barricaded themselves inside a compound with weapons. Christmas Island is a remote outpost located 2,650km (1,650 miles) north-west of Perth and 380km south of Java in Indonesia. It is part of Australia's network of offshore processing centres for irregular migrants who arrive by boat, but also houses foreigners facing deportation after committing crimes in Australia. Police reinforcements arrived at the detention centre early on Tuesday to restore order. The immigration department said "some force" had been used against "a core group of detainees who had built barricades and actively resisted attempts to secure compounds, including threatened use of weapons and improvised weapons". Some common areas appear to be severely damaged, it added, but said order was restored "largely through negotiation and co-operation with detainees". Five detainees were being treated for non life-threatening injuries or medical conditions. Mr Dutton later said the detainees were injured "as a result of their interaction with the police and their refusal to comply with the directions provided by the Australian Federal Police". He blamed the unrest on "a hardened criminal population that occupies the immigration detention centre". It is difficult to verify information about what happens on Christmas Island as the media are generally barred from reporting there. The unrest started late on Sunday, when a group of Iranian inmates staged a protest about the death of an Iranian Kurd, Fazel Chegeni. Mr Chegeni had broken out of the facility on Saturday. His body was found the next day at the bottom of a cliff. The Christmas Island centre Australia asylum: Why is it controversial? Under controversial policies, Australia sends all intercepted asylum seekers to Christmas Island as well as Manus Island in Papua New Guinea and Nauru in the South Pacific. The government says the journey the asylum seekers make by sea to reach Australia is dangerous and controlled by criminal gangs and they have a duty to stop it. Critics say opposition to granting asylum is often racially motivated and is damaging Australia's reputation. The policy was branded a "disaster" by Human Rights Watch's Australia director in July. The group also raised concern over conditions at the Manus camp. Last February, an Iranian man was killed during a riot at the camp on Manus. The trial of a Salvation Army worker and a camp guard accused over his murder restarts later this month. Australia is this week facing renewed criticism from the United Nations over the policies, with the US, Britain and others using a UN forum to say it should stop turning back boats and close the offshore centres. Sarah Khatri was targeted by two men after parking outside St Columba Church in Chantry Road, Moseley, Birmingham at about 09:45 GMT on 27 March. The men tried to pull her out of the car before she was threatened with the blade and her Kia was stolen, police said. West Midlands Police said an investigation has been launched. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here It is the lastest attack following a spate of car-jackings in the city. Mrs Khatri said: "I had got the engine running because it was quite chilly outside and then I noticed a shadow blocking out the light next to my side of the car. "Next thing I know, I felt a jolt on the car and then I felt somebody opening the door." While one of the attackers attempted to get in via the driver's door, a second man sat in the passenger seat. Mrs Khatri, 37, initially fought back and managed to scream for help, until one of the men brandished a knife. She said: "All I remember is him bringing it to my neck in slow mention, he looked me in my eye and just went 'get out the car'. "I just thought enough, it's not worth it." A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "Officers were at the scene within minutes and we continue to make enquiries into the theft." Neighbours rescued the woman from her home in Sorbie on Monday evening but she died at the scene. Officers from Police Scotland's major investigation team are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fire and the death of Ms Stephenson. A spokesman said they are treating the incident as unexplained, rather than suspicious. Det Ch Insp Allan Burton, of the major investigation team, said: "We are currently carrying out our enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding this tragic event. "We are keen to hear from anyone who may have had recent contact with the victim Mona Stephenson in the past few days, or indeed were in the area of St Johns Place in the early evening of Monday 26 January, to get in touch with us through 101 if they can help." A joint investigation into the cause of the fire has been carried out by Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Police said the procurator fiscal has been informed and a post mortem examination is being arranged. Cardiff Met University Ladies will be representing Wales after securing their third consecutive Women's Welsh Premier League title. They will compete in one of four-team, one-venue mini-tournaments. The Football Association of Wales have yet to announce the qualifying round venues. The Uefa Women's Champions League comprises a qualifying group stage, four rounds of two-legged knockout ties and a one-off final. Cardiff City Stadium will host the final on Thursday, 1 June with the men's Champions League final held at the Principality Stadium two days later. For years transport bosses insisted the New Routemaster buses did not need opening windows and for years the complaints about heat on the top deck kept on coming. Now TfL will spend £2m resolving the problem, retro-fitting all the vehicles with opening windows on the top deck and two downstairs. It said it had listened to passengers but it's not clear yet why it has had a change of heart. TfL's director of buses, Mike Weston, said: "We don't think it will make the buses cooler on really hot days, but what it will do is it will create a bit of a breeze... so I think it will make customers feel a little bit more comfortable. "I think it's the right design for London, we're just doing a bit of tweaking to make it even better." Caroline Pidgeon, London Assembly leader of the Liberal Democrats, described the current buses as a "cauldron on wheels" and said "it simply beggars belief that such expensive buses were ever purchased by the mayor and TfL with such a basic design fault". TfL had bought them for £350,000 each. The introduction of the bus was used as a rallying call in Mayor Boris Johnson's 2008 election campaign, but his flagship transport project has had plenty of problems. The batteries have sometimes failed, meaning they have had to rely on diesel, and some no longer have conductors meaning their unique selling point - the hop-on and hop-off aspect - is greatly restricted. There are currently 550 on the streets of London and that is set to rise to 800. Critics have called them a vanity project and said it would have been cheaper to buy hybrid buses off the peg. Labour's London Assembly Transport Spokesperson, Val Shawcross, said: "With passengers enduring years of suffocating journeys on overheated buses, these upgrades will be welcomed. "But the paying public has been left to fork out £2m for more upgrades to what was supposed to be a state-of-the-art vehicle." This is the transport system that keeps having snags. While some love them, it does remind me of one industry insider who said to me years ago - politics and transport projects rarely mix. The players visited the memorial garden to pay their respects before rejoining their clubs. The village was devastated in 1966 when a colliery waste tip collapsed, with slurry engulfing Pantglas Junior School on the last day before half term. Manager Chris Coleman described the visit as "humbling". "In a small way we wanted to show our respect and reflect on the tragedy of 50 years ago," he said. "It puts everything into perspective." Robin Garton, 69, from Devizes in Wiltshire, disappeared on 25 September on a hillwalking trip near Glen Coe. Despite extensive searches involving helicopters, divers and search dogs, there has been no trace of him. His son, Will Garton, said search teams were "baffled that they can't find him" but it was important for the family to "mark him and have a service". Robin Garton was reported missing after he failed to meet up with friends as planned in Kinlochewe in Wester Ross. He was last seen checking out of his accommodation near Glen Coe on his way to Aonach Eagach Ridge. "He told the receptionist in the bed and breakfast that morning that's what he was going to do," said Will Garton. "His car's parked in the right place to do that ridge and he's not the sort of person who changes his mind - so we're very confident that he is somewhere on that ridge." But despite rescue teams spending more than 1,500 man hours searching the area, employing drones with cameras, helicopters and sniffer dogs as well as divers to search the loch - he has not been found. "The team there say they're baffled. Normally they find people much more quickly then this but so far, for whatever reason, they've been unsuccessful," said Mr Garton. "It's a living nightmare, the not knowing is the worst thing imaginable." Described as in "really good health", Mr Garton said his father was a very experienced mountaineer and "well within his comfort zone" tackling the Aonach Eagach Ridge. But he admitted it was "quite possible" he may have suffered a heart attack. "It's a challenging walk but if he has had a heart attack we would expect him to be somewhere where he could be found," he said. "That is what is so distressing for us - the lack of any news and it is bizarre that we have had no sightings as of yet." With the family getting "increasingly desperate to have him returned home", Mr Garton said rescue teams had promised there would be "no cut off" and they would carry on combing the mountain until he was found. "They're convinced he's there somewhere on that ridge and I think they will find him. I hope to God they find him," he said. "It's really important to us that they are not giving up that search so we still expect him to come home to us in some form." In the meantime Mr Garton said the family were "realistic about the chances" and were preparing "for the worst". "You can't put your life on hold but it's important to us to mark him - to have a service to recognise the huge contribution he made as a family man, a businessman and as a campaigner on climate change," he said. "We're obviously realistic and pragmatic but you can't quite extinguish the one in 10 million chance that he might come back." The family has praised the local mountain rescue team and volunteers for the search effort, which they describe as "truly humbling". A memorial service is due to be held at St Johns Church, Devizes in December. Varney signed for the Tractor Boys on a short-term contract in August, with his deal due to expire on 12 January. The 34-year-old could play in Burton's FA Cup tie at Watford on Saturday. "He's a good, experienced Championship player," Brewers boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby. "He's had a couple of knocks and injuries and things, but I don't think he's got anything to prove in the Championship." Burton are 21st in the Championship table, one point above the relegation zone. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 27-year-old victim was on the delayed 22:24 GMT train from Sheffield to Leeds on Saturday. British Transport Police said she was targeted prior to the train departing when sitting alone by the window. Her partner had gone to the toilet and after he left, the offender sat down next to the woman and attempted to rape her. More on this story and others from South Yorkshire Her partner returned from the toilet unaware of what had happened and physically moved the offender from his seat. Police said the incident happened on the delayed train, which left Sheffield at 22:40 GMT from platform 1B. Det Con Ian Grice said the victim was being supported by specially-trained officers. He appealed for information and said: "Sexual offences of this nature on the railway network are rare, but are understandably incredibly distressing for the victim." The man is described as white, late 20s to early 30s, with brown hair and wearing a blue Puffa jacket. He was with another man, also white, aged late 20s to early 30s, wearing a black Puffa jacket. The victim and her partner got off the train at Swinton, but police said it is not known where the other men alighted. Bayelsa state police say they learned of the ransom after capturing members of the criminal gang believed responsible. Hyundai Heavy Industries has not commented on the reports. The BBC's Habiba Adamu, in Abuja, says it is rare for anyone to acknowledge ransoms paid to kidnappers in Nigeria. The kidnapping of foreigners and wealthy Nigerians is common in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, and has become a lucrative trade for criminals. Gunmen kidnapped the four South Korean and two Nigerian workers after storming a passenger boat on 17 December. They were released days later but South Korean officials declined to say whether they had paid a ransom. Bayelsa state police commissioner Kingsley Omire said most of the suspected kidnappers were later arrested, including the leader. He told the police that a payment of 30m naira ($190,000) had been made, with each gang member getting 3m, Mr Omire told BBC Hausa. The man is said to have later escaped from custody. "The police did not know a ransom was paid before the release," the state police chief said. He said that paying ransoms would only encourage more kidnapping and urged people to instead contact the police, saying they have freed several hostages. The mother of Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was kidnapped in December and held for five days before being freed. It is not clear whether a ransom was paid, or whether the motive was criminal or political. The rare medals badge of honour, which includes four grand crosses, belonged to Lieutenant-General Rowland Hill. The commander of the British Army fought with the Duke of Wellington in 1815 and served in the Napoleonic Wars. Auctioneers said the historical brooch, which was discovered in its original box in Derbyshire, "honoured and recognised his many acts of bravery". More stories from the East Midlands The medals include the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, the Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Guelphic Order, the Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and the Sword and the Peninsular Cross. Charles Hanson, of Hanson's Auctioneers, said the badge was one of the "richest historical" military finds he has ever come across and was "worthy of a place in a museum". "I am delighted to see this important historical item honouring a war hero and great leader of men sell for well above its estimate of £1,000 to £2,000," he said. Mr Hanson added that General Hill was an "extraordinary man". "He led armies of up to 30,000 men in some of the most important battles of the 1800s in Egypt, Spain, Portugal and France," he said. "He inevitably had brushes with death. At the Battle of Waterloo, where Hill commanded the II Corps, he was lost in the melee and feared dead but escaped unscathed." Source: Hanson's Auctioneers Wang Ting-yu, chairman of the defence committee in Taiwan's parliament, said Chinese spies were masquerading as academics or business people. He claimed Beijing was trying to sow chaos within Taiwanese society. China considers the self-ruling island territory that must be reunited with the mainland - by force if necessary. In an interview with the BBC, Mr Wang said intelligence reports suggest China spends millions of dollars on its Taiwan operations. He said Chinese spies tried to recruit agents within Taiwan's corridors of power. "Some get married into Taiwan, some pretend they are scholars, some pretend they are businessmen, and they immerse themselves into our society," he said. "They seduce and lure our military personnel and government officers into becoming their agents." Mr Wang said he could not disclose the source of his information. Beijing has previously denied claims that it sends spies to Taiwan. Earlier this week, a bodyguard for the former Vice-President Annette Lu was arrested and accused of spying. Wang Hong-ju is accused of being paid by the Chinese to recruit an intelligence officer to gather information for Beijing in exchange for a large cash payment and safe relocation to mainland China if exposed. He is alleged to have worked for China after leaving government service in Taiwan, but the episode is likely to unnerve the Taiwanese authorities. "The realisation that even someone who worked that close to the top of the island's government hierarchy could become a spy for the nation's biggest enemy gives one cold shivers," read an editorial in the English-language Taiwan News. Annette Lu said the bodyguard was one of about 50 who had been assigned to protect her. "It's important that we check the security and loyalty of those who serve the president and vice-president," she told the BBC. Just a few days before the bodyguard's detention, a Chinese student, Zhou Hongxu, was also arrested in Taiwan for breaching national security laws. Some media outlets were reporting that there are around 5,000 Chinese spies in Taiwan, although the government later denied that was true. China has spied on Taiwan for years, but Wang Ting-yu said the election of Ms Tsai, from the Democratic Progressive Party, appeared to have spurred Beijing into greater action. He said China's aim was not simply to collect information, but also to spread unrest in Taiwan. The island's commitment to an open society was allowing Beijing to stir up trouble under the cloak of free speech, said the committee chairman. "You cannot tell who your enemy is," he said. Several new laws to tighten security are due to be introduced this year. Taiwan plans to ban senior government and military officials from travelling to China for three years after they retire, to prevent them from being lured into handing over secret information. If China has increased its secret activities in Taiwan this would fit into a broader pattern of antagonism towards the island since Ms Tsai's election. China had warm ties with the previous Taiwanese President, Ma Ying-jeou, but it has cut all contact with Ms Tsai. It has also reverted to its previous policy of trying to isolate Taiwan in the international arena. A Taiwanese defence review published once every four years came out this week and said China now posed an even greater military threat to the island. The charge is expected to take affect from the end of April when a new pick-up and drop-off point will open opposite the main terminal building. A spokeswoman said the charge was being introduced after "all possible alternatives" to ease congestion at the airport had been exhausted. A pick-up fee has been in place at the airport since 2010. Construction work is currently under way to create the new pick-up and drop-off zone, where the £2 charge will entitle drivers to a 10-minute stay. Blue badge holders will be exempt. The work will also see the traffic flow on St Andrew's Drive, where the Holiday Inn Express is located, reversed. This change is due to take affect in March. Amanda McMillan, managing director of the airport, said the investment represented one of the most significant upgrades to the road network in more than 10 years. She added: "It has been apparent for some time that our current drop-off area, which suffers from severe congestion on a daily basis, is simply no longer fit for purpose. "It was implemented at a time when we were carrying 6.5 million passengers, however, we have since enjoyed sustained growth and are now fast approaching the 10 million mark." Ms McMillan acknowledged that the new arrangement would be unpopular. She added: "We have resisted introducing a drop-off charge despite most airports of our size having similar arrangements in place for many years, however, having exhausted all possible alternatives we have now reached a point whereby a chargeable facility is the only way to address congestion, discourage non-airport traffic and encourage best use of our road network." Drivers will still be able to drop off people at the airport's long stay car park, which is a five-minute bus ride from the terminal building, free of charge. The 67-year-old suffered a broken collarbone when he was knocked to the ground outside his Gateshead home in January. An online appeal set up by beautician Katie Cutler raised £330,135. Richard Gatiss, 25, from Gateshead, had pleaded guilty to assault with intent to rob at Newcastle Crown Court. After the sentencing, Mr Barnes said it was "just about the right length of time" and he hoped prison would give Gatiss time to reflect on what he had done. "I hope while he's in prison he'll do some thinking and when he comes out he'll do something useful," he said. Gatiss, from Split Crow Road, was caught after police retrieved DNA evidence from a pocket on Mr Barnes' jacket. He had been desperate for money to buy legal highs but ran off empty-handed when Mr Barnes shouted for help, the court heard. Judge Paul Sloan QC described Gatiss' actions as "despicable and opportunistic" and said he had picked on Mr Barnes because he was vulnerable. Mr Barnes has lived with disabilities from birth after his mother contracted German measles when she was pregnant. He is visually impaired and stands 4ft 6in (1.21m) tall. After the hearing, Mr Barnes, who was joined by 21-year-old Miss Cutler, said: "I'm pleased he's been sentenced and I think the sentence of four years is just about the right length. "I hope while he's in prison he'll do some thinking and when he comes out he'll do something useful. Maybe he might decide to help people, which I think would be a good idea for him. "It's sad that he was brought to the stage of doing something like this - not necessarily just me, it could have been anybody and they might not have got over the incident. "But I've moved on," he said. Holding back tears, Miss Cutler added: "It's hard for me to talk about Richard as it wasn't me who was attacked, but I just hope he gets the help that he deserves. "I'm just glad that that some good has come from this and we can move forward." While on remand, Gatiss was kept in segregation for his own safety. Jamie Adams, defending, said it was "an awful case" but publicity surrounding it made it difficult to "keep a proper outlook on what the sentence should be". On the prison bus to court Gatiss had been "the subject of some pretty awful double-standard behaviour" from other inmates, Mr Adams said. "Life is not easy for him. He is going to be in the public glare for a long time to come and he knows that." His father, Karl Gatiss, refused to comment on the sentence outside court but called for legal highs to be banned. Northumbria Police said the sentencing "should send a message out to those criminals who think it is acceptable to target the vulnerable". Following the death of six cyclists on London's roads in two weeks, Mr Boardman asked the mayor to honour a "promise" he made by looking at similar schemes in operation abroad. He said: "The longer we delay, the more lives will be lost." Mr Johnson told BBC London 94.9 he was not convinced by the argument. Nine of this year's 14 cyclist fatalities and five of last year's 14 deaths involved a heavy goods vehicle. In the centre of Paris, where there are restrictions on lorries, there were no cyclist fatalities in 2011, according to the Prefecture of Police of Paris. Boardman, British Cycling's policy adviser, said in an open letter to the mayor: "When I rode alongside you to help you launch your vision for cycling in March this year, you made a verbal promise to look at the successful experiences of Paris and many other cities in restricting the movements of heavy vehicles during peak hours. "London has an opportunity to emulate and surpass Paris and to lead the way for the other ambitious cycling cities across Britain. "Let's not waste this opportunity to do something now." The House of Commons Transport Committee is to hold an oral evidence session on cycle safety on 2 December to "stimulate debate", said chairman Louise Ellman. Speaking to Vanessa Feltz on BBC London 94.9, the mayor of London said safety must be improved. He said he was getting on with the programme to invest the "thick end of £1bn" to make cycling in the capital safer. Mr Johnson said there had to be a "much bigger conversation about HGVs" and the dangers they pose when they turn left. But he said imposing a peak-time ban risked damaging London companies and creating a "serious influx as soon as the ban is over". He said that examples from other European cities were being studied, but that he was "by no means satisfied" the idea was the solution. Mr Johnson said the latest person to die was in a collision with a lorry at about midday, not during the rush hour. 2010: 10 deaths, four involving HGVs 2011: 16 deaths, 12 involving HGVs 2012: 14 deaths, five involving HGVs 2013 so far: 14 deaths, nine involving HGVs Source: TfL He added: "We are not dismissing any suggestion." On new safety ideas being considered at Transport for London, he said the issue of people riding bikes and walking in the street using personal electronic devices was discussed frequently. Mr Johnson said he thought headphones were an "absolute scourge" and that he would consider banning cyclists from wearing them. "Call me illiberal, but it makes me absolutely terrified to see them bowling along unable to hear the traffic. "You've got to be able to hear that car behind you or about to come out of the road in front of you," he said. Mark Ames, editor of cycling blog ibikelondon, accused the mayor of taking attention away from his "inaction". He wrote on Twitter that the mayor was "a clever man" who had "deflected all attention on his inaction and HGV ban and made a debate about Londoners wearing headphones". The House of Commons Transport Committee chairman Ms Ellman said the deaths of cyclists this year had raised the issue of restricting lorries, and the behaviour of drivers and cyclists. She said: "Many of these casualties involve large vehicles, especially HGVs, and there is now debate about whether they should be banned from city centres at peak times. "This will have consequences for businesses, which need to be assessed." Kate Gibbs, spokeswoman for the Road Haulage Association, said: "Lorries have to get in and out of construction sites. Shops have to have goods on their shelves. Even Halfords." She said restricting lorries from entering the city between 10:00 and 18:00, for example, "would add to the congestion that London roads are already facing". During the Olympics, deliveries were made to shops and businesses overnight with the usual restrictions preventing noise for residents removed. But Ms Gibbs said that was not a "workable solution". Victory completed a big-race double for the 7-1 chance, who won the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown in February. He finished two and three quarter lengths ahead of Minella Rocco (18-1) in the Cheltenham showpiece, with Native River (7-2) in third. Lizzie Kelly, the first woman for 33 years to ride in the race, was unseated from Tea for Two at the second fence. The 3-1 favourite Djakadam hit the second-last fence when leading and ended up finishing fourth, while the much-loved Cue Card again fell three fences from home. Harrington and Power finished the Festival in style by winning the last race, the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase, with Rock the World (10-1). The seven-year-old winner was a first Cheltenham Gold Cup entry for Harrington after moving to her yard from Henry de Bromhead's earlier in the season. Harrington, the most successful female trainer ever at the Festival, had previously enjoyed big-race success with Moscow Flyer in the 2003 and 2005 Queen Mother Champion Chases, and with 2014 Champion Hurdle winner Jezki. "It's amazing - he has gone from running two miles at Christmas to three miles here," she told BBC Radio 5 live. Down to the last he absolutely pinged it "He jumped like a buck and it was his jumping that got him there. "I never seemed to have any stayers before for this race - I can't believe it." Harrington is the third woman to train a Gold Cup winner, following Jenny Pitman, who guided Burrough Hill Lad (1984) and Garrison Savannah (1991), and Henrietta Knight with Best Mate (2002-2004). Power, who won the Grand National on Silver Birch in 2007, said: "It's unbelievable. Jessica Harrington is a genius. "I was only 25 when I won the National and I'm 35 now. When you're 25 you think you can win everything, so this is very special. "Down to the last he absolutely pinged it and then it was just a case of seeing it out. It's what every jockey dreams of and I never thought I would until we got this lad. "I had a bad injury before Christmas and I rushed back to ride him in the Irish Gold Cup" Minella Rocco trainer Jonjo O'Neill: "It was his first run proper of the season. He has no miles on the clock and he'll improve a ton on that. I'm thrilled, he had a great spin round and finished as strongly as anything." Native River owner Garth Broom: "I felt we were slightly robbed of second right on the line, but finishing third in a Gold Cup with a seven-year-old is something you can't complain about. "He wears his heart on his sleeve and we are so proud of him. We had two dreams - to have a runner in the Gold Cup and to win one, and we've achieved the first. Djakadam jockey Ruby Walsh: "The mistake at the second-last cost me second place but I don't believe I would have done better than that." Cue Card assistant trainer Joe Tizzard: "He has come back safe and that is the main thing we were concerned about." Cornelius Lysaght, BBC horse racing correspondent The 2017 Gold Cup was billed as competitive, but not necessarily the greatest staging in the race's 90-plus-year history. You probably can't say at this stage that Sizing John is all set to be a great champion, but given time, who knows? He's got that certain something about him - racing purists would say 'class' - he's only seven years old, technically some way short of his prime, and the time of the race was decent. There had been doubts about the horse's stamina lasting out the demanding three and a quarter miles, but he had plenty of reserves to positively bound up the final hill. Paul Townend rode a 356-1 double for Willie Mullins after top weight Arctic Fire (20-1) took the County Hurdle after being off the track for 13 months, while Penhill then triumphed in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle. Penhill's win was Mullins' first in the race and gave him a sixth win of the meeting. Gordon Elliott matched him with his sixth win when Champagne Classic (12-1) took the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle for JJ Slevin. However, Elliott clinched the leading trainer award thanks to his three second places compared to two from Mullins. A delighted Elliott said: "To win the trainer award is something special. Willie is an amazing man and a gentleman. We are absolutely thrilled. "When we get home now, we will have a party with all the staff." Champagne Classic's owner, airline boss Michael O'Leary, was somewhat surprised by the horse's achievement. "I think that was a miraculous event. He is probably the worst horse we own!" said O'Leary "We buy them in numbers and you get a few duds - he is one of the duds!" Bryony Frost triumphed on Pacha Du Polder in the Foxhunters Chase, the same horse on whom former Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist Victoria Pendleton finished fifth in last year's race, Frost's win meant that for the first time all three races for amateur riders at the Festival were won by female jockeys. She was also following in a family tradition - her father Jimmy rode Morley Street to victory in the 1991 Champion Hurdle, while brother Hadden won at the 2010 Festival. The day's other race, the Triumph Hurdle, was won by the 5-2 favourite Defi Du Seuil, ridden by champion jockey Richard Johnson and trained by Philip Hobbs. The home fans booed their side at half time as they trailed 30-0, with Lama Tasi the first of six different try scorers to go over in the first half. Corey Thompson grabbed a Widnes try before Michael Dobson and Robert Lui added to the visitors' lead. Australian half-back Carney then came off the bench to help set Gareth O'Brien up for Salford's ninth try. Carney, an unused replacement in Salford's win against Castleford, made his eagerly anticipated debut after his career in the north west of England was delayed while his visa application was being processed. Salford's fourth win from seven games this season leaves them fifth in the table, while Widnes' fifth Super League defeat this term leaves them second from bottom with the second worst defensive record in the competition. The hosts showed their greatest resistance in the opening 14 minutes, but once Tasi went over for the opening try a torrent followed with Greg Johnson, George Griffin, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Kris Welham and Justin Carney crossing before the break. Thompson and a late Rhys Hanbury try after the break were of little consequence in a match Salford dominated. Salford head coach Ian Watson told BBC Radio Manchester: "It was a great start, something we spoke about. We felt we let ourselves down a bit with LWLW record and we wanted to change the mindset of that about backing games up. To get a 30-0 lead at half-time was tremendous. "People talk about us saying we can't back up, so it's important for us to show them we can back up. "Todd's got class, we see it in training, it's all about getting him in at the right time. When he first came on he chased the ball about. Later on his dropped into our shapes. He has some nice little touches to him." Widnes Vikings: Hanbury; Thompson, Armstrong, Runciman, Marsh; Heremaia, Craven; Dudson, Johnstone, Buchanan, Olbison, Whitley, Houston. Replacements: Bridge, Leuluai, J Chapelhow, T Chapelhow. Salford Red Devils: O'Brien; Johnson, Welham, Sa'u, J Carney; Lui, Dobson; Tasi, Tomkins, Walne, Griffin, Murdoch-Masila, Flanagan. Replacements: Kopczak, Krasniqi, Brinning, T Carney. Referee: Chris Kendall The goalkeeper had already stopped a Gavin Reilly spot-kick before Simon Murray's close-range opener for United. Bell kept out penalties from Nicky Clark and Paul McMullan and Tony Andreu's drive extended the lead. Michael Paton fired a reply before Paul Dixon's second yellow card, after which Andreu secured the 10 men's victory. United's Frank van der Struijk was twice the culprit for the penalties, fouling Nicky Clark and then handling the ball in the box, for the second and third spot-kicks, the latter offence incurring a booking. The win keeps United in fourth place in the Scottish Championship and leaves the Pars with only one win in their five games since promotion. Match ends, Dunfermline Athletic 1, Dundee United 3.

It happened on Thursday at a property in Dunluce Avenue, off the Lisburn Road. The men, both aged 22, are also charged with aggravated burglary and stealing. They are due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Monday. The petition's organiser James O'Malley, said the capital was "a world city" which should "remain at the heart of Europe". Nearly 60% of people in the capital backed the Remain campaign, in stark contrast to most of the country. The LSE's director said the vote showed how "radically different" London is. Prof Tony Travers said London's economy and politics "look so different" to the rest of the country and it was up to the mayor to decide whether to argue for more power. "Maybe moving more decision making to cities and councils could be a solution to the differences within the country," he said. Following the result, Sadiq Khan said it was "crucial that London has a voice at the table during those renegotiations" with the EU. "We will continue to look outwards and trade and engage with the entire world, including the European Union," he said. The petition, which suggests the mayor could become "President Sadiq", has already been signed by more than 27,000 people. Mr O'Malley said he was a "big EU fan" and was "fed up watching the results" when he set up the page on change.org. He said he was "astonished" the petition had taken off but suggested it showed he had "clearly touched a nerve" with others who "like me want to live in an international city". One person who commented on the page said he felt "morally, culturally and historically closer to Paris, Brussels and Rome than I do to Sunderland". Another wrote: "We need to break free of the dead weight." A second petition calling for London to remain part of the EU has been signed by more 7,500 people. The Belgian midfielder limped off half an hour into Tuesday's 0-0 draw at Scunthorpe with a calf strain. He has played in the Saddlers' past 11 games, his longest run since his second spell on loan with Walsall in 2012. "He's been so unlucky with injuries. But you're always at your most vulnerable when you're at your best," Walsall boss Jon Whitney told BBC WM. "He's really down. It's a kick in the teeth but I'll help him get over it. "We haven't had a chance to bring him over, as he lives in Sheffield, and we're trying to get him scanned to know what we're dealing with. "It's still non-weight bearing," added the former Saddlers physio. "He's still on crutches. We'll know more by Monday. He got his studs caught in the grass. But, from the pain he's in, it's not going to be a short-term injury. Cuvelier's run of fitness has coincided with Walsall's best run of results this season - a sequence of just two defeats in 11 games, which has lifted them to 12th in League One. The first game which the influential Cuvelier will miss is Saturday's visit of Peterborough, when Amadou Bakayoko hopes to start, after being replaced in midweek by Simeon Jackson, along with Franck Moussa and Andreas Makris. Reece Flanagan remains out with a dislocated shoulder which, on top of a serious knee injury, is expected to keep him out for the rest of the season. Jon Whitney was talking to BBC WM's Rob Gurney The Carter Centre, which was set up by former President Jimmy Carter, said that represented a 83% drop from the 126 cases reported last year. Guinea worm isn't deadly, but it is extremely painful and stops people in some of the world's poorest areas from going to work or school for months. The former president said he wants it eradicated "next year or sooner after". Guinea worm is particularly nasty. It's carried by tiny water flies which sit in stagnant water. When people drink that water the Guinea worm larvae enters the body and starts maturing into a worm. After about a year, when it's grown to around a meter long, it starts burrowing through the body and eventually causes a painful blister on the skin's surface. It can then take a few days or weeks to fully emerge from the body, usually through the victim's leg or foot. The Carter Centre has led the international effort against the disease, and the end game is very much in sight. "This is a very exciting, challenging and sometimes frustrating experience for us," he said. The former president made it his mission to wipe out the disease back in 1986. Since then he said the number of countries reporting cases have gone from 21, to just four: Chad, Ethiopia, Mali and South Sudan. "We hope this year we won't have any new cases, but if we do we'll just have to concentrate on those communities," said Mr Carter. The former president said across those countries still affected there were actually only 20 villages and communities in the world which have cases of Guinea worm, although teams are still monitoring around 4,500 communities to ensure the disease doesn't come back. "One person who goes into the water with a Guinea worm emerging can start the whole epidemic all over again," he said. If the campaign is successful, Guinea worm will become only the second disease to ever be completely wiped out. Smallpox was officially eradicated in 1980. Polio is also on the verge of being made extinct. The British government has pledged another £4.5 million to efforts to finally end Guinea worm. UK International Development Minister Nick Hurd said: "Guinea worm is a truly horrendous disease. "The fact that we are now so close to eradicating it is one of the great public health success stories of modern times." Mr Carter said around 88 million cases have been avoided in the last 30 years, meaning it's cost around $3 (£2) to prevent each case. "Once we get rid of it, we'll never have to spend another dollar on the disease," he said. One of the biggest threats to Guinea worm eradication is conflict, which stops health workers being able to go in and help affected communities. Mr Carter said another concern is dogs becoming infected and releasing larvae into water sources, which communities can then drink from, triggering a new cluster of cases. The 39th president of the United States said achieving the eradication of Guinea worm would be his "most gratifying experience". While emerging viruses such as Zika and before that Ebola have been causing a lot of concern, this is a timely reminder that complex and frightening diseases, can be beaten. The world is not there yet, but it is extremely close. Mr Carter is already setting his sights on the next debilitating disease he wants to wipe out. It's another neglected tropical disease called river blindness, spread by the bites of infected flies that breed in rapidly flowing rivers and can cause people to lose their sight. He says eradication is possible. Watch this space. The EU committee said the single market and cross-border travel were vital to the territory's economy, and warned the UK government not to let Spain use trade talks to claim sovereignty. Gibraltar voted overwhelmingly for Remain in June's referendum. The government says it will ensure the territory's priorities are understood. Gibraltar has been a British territory since 1713, but Spain continues to claim sovereignty over the enclave, and the government in Madrid called for joint sovereignty in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. The vote of 95.9% in favour of staying in the EU made Gibraltar by far the strongest pro-Remain area taking part in the referendum. Peers said 40% of its workforce crossed the border from Spain every day, and its economy was "underpinned" by the single market. The committee said it "strongly endorses" the UK government's promise never to enter into sovereignty discussions with Spain against the will of the Gibraltarian people, and called on ministers to engage "positively and pragmatically with Spain, emphasising the mutual importance of the economic relationship between the UK and Spain". Prime Minister Theresa May has confirmed the UK will not remain a member of the EU single market after Brexit, instead seeking a new free trade deal. The peers said while it was unclear how withdrawal would affect the border, there were "serious potential economic implications for both Gibraltar and the surrounding area of Spain". "Now set to leave the EU, the territory has placed its trust in the UK to secure a Brexit deal that meets Gibraltar's needs," they said. "The committee stresses that the UK government has a moral responsibility to ensure Gibraltar's voice is heard, and its interests respected, throughout the negotiating process." The committee also said Gibraltar should be made a priority in talks over security co-operation so its border cannot be used by criminals. And it suggested existing rules governing the passport-free Schengen area could allow continued movement between Gibraltar and Spain. Formal Brexit talks are set to begin once Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty has been invoked by the UK government before the end of March. The committee added: "The UK government must remain alert to and resist any attempts by Spain to involve the sovereignty dispute in EU withdrawal and future trade negotiations, or to encroach upon Gibraltar's sovereignty through the medium of EU laws or policies when the UK is 'out of the room', after Brexit." In the official document setting out its Brexit strategy, the UK government said a new joint ministerial council with the government of Gibraltar would help ensure its views were heard. "We will continue to involve them fully in our work, respect their interests and engage with them as we enter negotiations, and strengthen the bonds between us as we forge a new relationship with the EU and look outward into the world," its White Paper adds.

The 38-year-old ended his playing career with the Blues in 2014 and has been working as a television pundit. Iwelumo replaces Ian Sharps, who moved to League One side Walsall to become their first-team coach. "Can't wait to get started at such a brilliantly run club," he said on Twitter. Iwelumo scored once in 10 games for Chester before retiring after a career which saw him play for 19 different clubs including Stoke City, Wolves, Colchester, Burnley and Watford. Pat Cilliers, Owen Williams and Telusa Veainu also went over for the hosts as they led 31-10 at the break, with Rob Hawkins going over for Bristol. Tries from Brendon O'Connor, Adam Thompstone and Greg Bateman secured Tigers their biggest win of the season. Jamal Ford-Robinson grabbed a consolation try for Bristol late on. The bonus-point win edges Aaron Mauger's side to within four points of Bath in fourth place and sees them edge six points clear of Harlequins in sixth after the Londoners were beaten 22-12 by the Blue, Black and White at The Rec. Defeat sees relegation-threatened Bristol slip six points adrift of second-bottom Worcester after the Warriors managed to claim a try-scoring bonus point in their 32-48 home defeat by Exeter. The return of South Africa international Pietersen and Tonga full-back Veainu from injury was key for the Welford Road club, with the pair particularly damaging in the first half. For Veainu, it was his first club appearance since 23 October, following a head injury sustained on Tonga duty. Veainu's break to set Pietersen up for his second score was the pick of the tries, with a dominant Leicester pack also making its mark as Bateman crossed for Tigers' eighth try from a catch-and-drive line-out 14 minutes from time. Interim Leicester Tigers boss Aaron Mauger: "We want to keep our feet on the ground because there are plenty of things we can do better. The last 20 minutes was a bit disappointing. I thought we could have put our foot on their throat and put them away proper. "We talked about playing with more confidence, backing our skills and being decisive and we have done that in the last couple of weeks. "The physicality has been outstanding. Mike Williams was a wrecking ball out there today and Luke Hamilton was outstanding. On Leicester's play-off hopes, Mauger added: "We were never out of it, we have always been in contention for the play-offs. "We believe we will be there at the end. The confidence we have taken from the last two performances is really good for us. The belief has always been there so it's nice to trigger that with some good performances." Interim Bristol head coach Mark Tainton: "We spoke about physicality and looking after the ball and we did neither. "We turned over too much ball and that allowed them too much field position. "Against a good Premiership side you are going to struggle if you do that. We fell off tackles and allowed them to get line breaks, and they got the scoreboard moving, so by half-time the game was gone." Leicester: Veainu; Thompstone, Roberts, Mermoz, Pietersen; O Williams, Harrison; Rizzo, Youngs (capt.), Cilliers, Barrow, Fitzgerald, M Williams, O'Connor, Hamilton. Replacements: McGuigan, Genge, Bateman, Croft, Thacker, Kitto, Tait, Smith. Bristol: Woodward; Wallace, Piutau, Pisi, Palamo; Jarvis, Cliff; Bevington, Hawkins, Cortes, Tuohy, Sorenson, Eadie, Lam, Crane (capt). Replacements: Jones, O'Connell, Ford-Robinson, Phillips, Jeffries, Mathewson, Henson, Hurrell. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, made the revelation as he encouraged more women to join the service. He said there is a stereotype that MI6 spies were posh and he wanted recruits from diverse backgrounds. The character of Q, a technology expert, has always been played by a man in the Bond films. Speaking at the Women in IT awards on Wednesday, Mr Younger said: "The real-life Q is looking forward to meeting you and I'm pleased to report that the real-life Q is a woman." The MI6 chief said one of his priorities is to employ talent but "we've got to get over and see through the Bond thing". He recognised that the fictional MI6 spy is great in some ways as it "means that all of our opponents think there's an MI6 officer behind every bush and that we're 10,000 times larger than we actually are". However, he went on to say that the character leads to a stereotype of the "particular sort of person that will join MI6 - whether they're really posh or going to Oxford". "The issue for me is that stands in the way of something that I regard as being so important, which is that we can reach into every community in Britain and make sure that we get the people that are the best regardless of their background," he added. Mr Younger said he wanted to make MI6 even more diverse which would bring a full range of skills to the service and improve its decision-making. He added: "The more different people you have in the room, in these high-pressure circumstances in which we operate, the better the decisions. "So, success for me is a deeper, broader range of technological skills in MI6 and more diversity, in particular more women." Barbara Wilding said there was an "emerging" picture of students turning to sex work, such as prostitution, erotic dancing and escort work. A Swansea University project is trying to gauge the scale of the issue. Ms Wilding said it was important to find out if students were forced into the work. She added that support also needed to be put in place. Swansea University is carrying out a three year study into concerns that students in Wales are turning to prostitution and other sex work. It is feared some may have turned to it as a way of funding their studies. However, there is only anecdotal evidence in Wales and the university believes an in-depth study into the issue is needed. It has been given £489,143 of funding from the Big Lottery Fund to find out how big the issue is and to help provide support. As part of its research it is launching the website - the Student Sex Work Project - on Friday, which researchers hope will prompt student sex workers to get in touch anonymously to share their views and experiences. Ms Wilding, chair of the board of governors at Cardiff Metropolitan University, said there was much still unknown about the issue in Wales. "This is an emerging area and this is the area we don't know very much about at all," she said. "In fact what we don't know really is what the scale of it is in Wales." She said research from the National Union of Students and sexual health agencies suggested that the problem was growing. She pointed to studies in England, including one from the English Collective of Prostitutes which said calls to its helpline from students had doubled in 12 months. "We need to know whether we have got the appropriate response to it and what's the motivation and can we do something about that as well, because it can be a very vulnerable area of activity for anyone to get involved in," she added. Ms Wilding, who stood down as chief constable in 2009, said during her time as a police officer working on the streets in London in the 1970s she had often come into contact with women who were prostitutes and sex workers. "This isn't a new game," she said. "But they were mainly people who had drug addiction or had mental health problems or in really desperate desperate financial situations. They were often driven into it with no choice. "Whereas with students we think we are dealing with a different set of circumstances. "They are intelligent, starting their lives." She admitted she was "surprised" when she was told about the evidence in her role as committee member at the Big Lottery Fund Wales. She said she had asked staff at Cardiff Metropolitan University if they knew anything about the problem. "Recently the chaplain there has become aware of men and women becoming involved in sex work," she added. She added it was important to find out whether students were choosing to take part in sex work or whether they were being forced into it. Dr Tracey Sagar, a lecturer at the university's Centre for Criminal Justice and Criminology who specialises in the regulation of sex work and is leading the project, said she hoped the research would "ensure that the right policies and services are in place for young people who engage in the sex markets in Wales". Hannah Pudner, director of NUS Wales, said the research was "more important now than ever". "We are coming across more and more stories of female students turning to the sex industry to fund their studies," she added. Visitors to the website can also access comprehensive sexual health and personal safety advice. At least four dogs were suspected of contracting the illness after being walked in the same woodland near Marlborough in the run-up to Christmas. The disease, causing skin lesions and potential kidney failure, was first identified in the US in the 1980s. David Walker, from Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists, said: "At least we now know what we're dealing with." Several suspected cases of Alabama Rot, or cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), were reported in December after dogs were walked in West Woods near Marlborough. One of the dogs - a cocker spaniel called Pippa - died just before Christmas. Test results have now confirmed the animal, along with another dog in Salisbury, both had Alabama Rot. Owner Jessica Worthington said Pippa developed sores on her legs after walking in West Woods. "Unfortunately after a few days Pippa's condition deteriorated and she was showing signs of kidney damage," she said. "Not long after that - despite trying many intensive treatments - we unfortunately lost her." Mr Walker, who treated Pippa, said even before the toxicology reports came back positive, there were "very strong" suspicions that it was CRGV. "This is a very rare disease which affects very few dogs but the best thing pet owners can do is be vigilant and if they're seeing skin lesions of unknown cause then go and speak to your local vet." Possible cases of Alabama Rot were identified in 71 dogs across England between November 2012 and March 2014. Stephen Lennon, 30, is accused of three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation in relation to a mortgage application. Mr Lennon is due before St Albans Magistrates Court on 7 December. He will appear with five others, from Luton, Silsoe in Bedfordshire and Watford, who were arrested as part of the same investigation. They face charges including fraud, money-laundering and possession of drugs with intent to supply. The 23-year-old returns to the Riverside Stadium, where he spent the 2014-15 season on loan from the Blues. He began this season on loan at Burnley but was recalled by Chelsea on Saturday, having made six Premier League appearances without scoring. It was his sixth loan spell away from Stamford Bridge. The deal includes a number of clauses which could see the striker's fee rise. The clauses are dependant on whether Middlesbrough survive in the Premier League this season, Bamford making a certain number of appearances and scoring a certain number of goals. In his previous stint with Boro, Bamford finished as the club's top scorer with 19 goals and was named Championship Player of the Year. Middlesbrough made the play-off final that season but were beaten by Norwich. The former England Under-21 international is Boro's second January signing following the purchase of Rudy Gestede from Aston Villa.

Previous studies had shown that a specific style of grooming - grooming hand clasp (GHC) - was restricted to specific populations of chimpanzees. By studying distinct communities of semi-wild chimps, the team identified different styles of GHC and showed they were learned by social convention. These studies provide insights into how differences in social behaviours in human cultures and populations might have arisen. GHC was first observed in the K(ajabala)-Group of chimpanzees living in the Mahale mountains of Tanzania. During GHC, two chimpanzees raise one arm overhead and clasp each other's hands, whilst grooming one another with their free hand. But not all chimpanzees groom in this way - animals in the nearby Gombe field-site never engage in GHC. Why GHC is not pervasive throughout chimpanzee communities was the key question that Prof Edwin van Leeuwen from the Max Plank Institute for Psycholinguistics, the Netherlands, and his colleagues addressed. Previous studies had shown natural variation in GHC style - including palm-to-palm, wrist-to-wrist and forearm-to-forearm clasping. Prof van Leeuwen posited that a preference for a particular style would be "a strong indication that this behaviour follows cultural patterns". The researchers recorded GHC behaviour in four social groups of semi-wild chimpanzees living in the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage Trust (CWOT) in the north west of Zambia. Half of the chimpanzees were wild-born, whilst half were reared in the orphanage. The chimpanzees originated from all over Africa and groups were formed based on their date of arrival at the orphanage. This meant that any differences in behaviour would unlikely be due to genetic or ecological influences. Commenting on the study design Prof Lydia Luncz from the Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany, told BBC News: "In recent years, research has shifted from debating the existence of culture in great apes to trying to understand its underlying mechanisms. This study uses one of the rare opportunities to study wild animals in a semi-wild setting." Of the four groups studied, two engaged in GHC behaviour - one had a preference for wrist-to-wrist GHC whilst the other preferred palm-to-palm. Whilst not included in the published data, Prof van Leeuwen said: "Most, if not all, individuals engaged in almost all styles (palm, wrist, forearm, other) at least once. "This is actually part of our argument against genetic influences: if all individuals/pairs can do everything, but just prefer one style over the other, then genetics are ruled out as an explaining factor." Asked why chimpanzees engage in this unusual behaviour, he said: "There are many hypotheses out there as to why the chimpanzees (and some bonobos) engage in GHC behaviour, one of which is to (re-)establish close social bonds." But, just as in human cultures, the behaviour isn't fixed. There is at least one published example of an individual in a non-GHC community who spontaneously started engaging in GHC and, over time, transferred this to other members of the group. Commenting on the new findings, Prof Frans de Waal, director of the Living Links Centre at at Emory University's Yerkes Primate Centre, said: "This is a very nice study that contributes to the field by looking in more detail at a defined behaviour. "The idea of chimpanzee 'culture' was originally supported by experimental studies in captivity that show how behaviour can spread by social learning. "The present study goes beyond this in taking neighbouring communities (where genetics and ecology are the same) and finding substantial differences from group to group. This is an extra argument for social learning." According to Prof Luncz, the findings also provide insight into how human social behaviour has evolved: "In many ways, chimpanzees are very similar to us humans and by studying the similarities to our closest living relatives, we have the unique opportunity to learn more about the evolutionary roots of culture, which is one of the key elements of our identity". The company, which owns the rights to the 2013 movie, is seeking compensation from people who pirated the movie. But the Federal Court of Australia said the company had to pay a large bond before it could access their data. Many Australians regularly illegally download digital content, such as movies. Dallas Buyers Club LLC (DBC) said it had identified 4,726 unique IP addresses from which the film was shared online using BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing network. But the Federal Court of Australia said DBC would have to pay A$600,000 ($442,000; £283,000) to obtain customer details. In a judgement published on Friday, the court also limited any damages DBC could seek from alleged copyright infringers. The ruling will prevent the company from so-called speculative invoicing. This is where account holders accused of piracy are threatened with court cases that could result in large damages unless smaller settlement fees are paid. In April, the court had ordered internet service providers (ISPs) to give DBC details of customers accused of illegally downloading the movie. But in May, that order was put on hold, as the court told DBC to show it a copy of the letters it wanted to send to customers. Friday's judgement said that even after the court had seen the proposed letters, as well as the scripts DBC staff would follow in phone conversations with alleged infringers, it was unclear how much money the company would ask customers to pay. The judgement said DBC wanted to pursue alleged infringers for: Justice Nye Perram said the second and third requests were "untenable". Having seen what DBC proposed to demand under the clauses, and the "potential revenue it might make if it breached its undertaking to the Court not to demand such sums, it seems to me that I should set the bond at a level which will ensure that it will not be profitable for it to do so," he said. The American, 41, pulled out of this month's Dubai Desert Classic before the second round with the injury. The former world number one, who returned in December after two back operations, has said his playing schedule will now be reassessed. The Masters, the first major of the year, takes place from 6-9 April. "My doctors have advised me not to play the next two weeks, to continue my treatment and to let my back calm down," said the four-time Masters winner. "This is not what I was hoping for or expecting. I am extremely disappointed." Woods' first return to competitive action after his lengthy lay-off came at the Hero World Challenge - an 18-man tournament in the Bahamas - in December and he finished 15th at the PGA Tour event. Afterwards, he expressed concerns over the physical challenge of being scheduled to play four full-field tournaments over five weeks. His next outing came at the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines where a first-round 76 and level-par second round of 72 meant he missed the cut. He struggled in the first round in Dubai as he shot a five-over 77, before ending the tournament prematurely. BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter Once again Tiger Woods is under doctor's orders, the advice is not to play for the next two weeks. During the Dubai Desert Classic week he said he felt good, but admitted he would never again feel great, such is the legacy of his recent back surgeries. The 41-year-old is becoming an increasingly frail figure and there is no word on his chances of being fit for April's Masters. Graeme Phillips told the BBC the plans for up to 2,350 homes would "be an integration of the countryside on the edge of the town". On Tuesday, scores of protesters packed a sometimes heated council meeting. One, Patrick Moylan, told the BBC the plans were "grossly unfair" and placed a huge "burden of housing" on the town. "Cirencester, compared with a range of similar towns throughout the country is having a burden of housing placed on it which is two and a half times the average," he said. The Chesterton development, on land owned by Lord Bathurst, would see up to 2,350 homes, as well as businesses, a primary school and a GP surgery built south of Chesterton. An outline planning application has been submitted to Cotswold District Council. Protest group Save Our Cirencester say it effectively means another town being "bolted on to the side of Cirencester". The town is the main centre of the Cotswolds with a population of about 20,000. Mr Phillips told BBC Gloucestershire: "We've done a lot of work to make sure that what it definitely won't be is a soulless housing estate." He said he believed Cirencester was the "best place" to take a "significant proportion" of the 7,500 homes planned across the Cotswolds District Council area up to 2031. Lib Dem councillor Joe Harris said he accepted the need to build but added: "We just feel a 40% increase on the size of Cirencester isn't the right approach." He said he felt it would "change the character" of the town but felt it "probably was a done deal". The forward joined City from South West Peninsula League side Bodmin Town in the summer and has scored eight goals, including four in the last five games. "It took him as little bit of time to settle and get used to it. "But over these last few weeks he's starting to find his feet and with his work rate he's also adding the goals to that which is great," Hodges said. "When things aren't going well he has to carry on doing this hard work and this never give up attitude, which is what we want at the club. Meanwhile, Hodges says he will be looking to replace player-coach Rory Fallon after the New Zealand international left the club earlier this week. "I'm sure something else will happen for Rory during the course of the season, I don't think he's finished with football.," he told BBC Radio Cornwall. "We're always looking to bring in players. I don't think anything's going to happen in the next game, but over the coming weeks hopefully we'll get some more players in." The six-week A3290/A329M Loddon Viaduct project will see new bridge joints and safety barriers put up, as well as a resurfaced carriageway. Lanes on the Reading-bound stretch of the A3290 at Winnersh have been closed. Commuter Andrea Gaynor said her usual 35-minute journey to work now took up to two hours or more. "It took me almost two-and-a-half hours one night. I was at Winnersh for one-hour-and-fifty minutes just trying to get off [the carriageway], along with thousands of other drivers", she said. "Road rage is an issue and people have been swapping lanes and causing chaos. How people didn't hit each other I do not know." Wokingham Borough Council said recent queues were due to crashes and problems elsewhere, but said it had since taken action to stop people crossing lanes in the wrong place. Councillor Malcolm Richards, executive member for highways at the authority, said: "This work has to be done and will make the viaduct safer, quieter and easier to maintain." The project is expected to be completed in September. The 32-year-old beat Englishman Lewis MacKay 4-0 in the final in Australia. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari was among those to congratulate him, saying he has "done the country proud". Mr Jighere said on his Facebook page that he felt he was playing with the "whole continent" behind him. He added that it "still baffles" him that he managed to win, given how tired he felt as he had "not slept well in about a week". Wellington Jighere put down: Lewis MacKay put down: (Source: oed.com) He told the Guardian newspaper that he had training to deal with the fatigue from the jet lag, but also had to cope with 32 rounds of matches in four days before getting to the final in Perth. Mr Jighere and the five other members of the Nigerian team only arrived in Australia the day before the tournament started, so had little chance to get over the 20-hour flight or the seven-hour time difference. President Buhari phoned him in Perth to "rejoice" with him over the performance and pass on his congratulations to all the players, who finished the competition as the best team. According to the president's spokesman, Mr Jighere "pledged to bring more glory to his fatherland". The champion will be coming home with a $10,000 (£6,600) prize but now has to find a job. He recently finished his national service following his graduation from university, but took a few months off from looking for work in order to prepare for the championship. President of Nigeria's Scrabble federation Sulaiman Gora told the BBC on the telephone from Nigeria that Mr Jighere is a quiet person whose "greatest strength is humility". Mr Gora, who also heads the Pan-African Scrabble federation, said that the "whole country and the whole of Africa is celebrating this success". In 2008, Ivorian Elisee Poka won the French-language Scrabble World Championship and this year Schelick Ilagou Rekawe from Gabon reached the final of that competition. He lost to New Zealander Nigel Richards, who does not speak French. A message being sent to ticket holders asks them to arrive at the theatre an hour before the performance to ensure they are seated in good time. No "suitcases or large bags" are allowed into the theatre, and smaller bags will be searched on entry. Previews of the play begin at the West End's Palace Theatre on 7 June and it officially opens at the end of July. The two-part Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the series and the first official story of the franchise to be presented on stage. The plot sees Harry Potter as a husband and father of three school-age children, with a job working for the Ministry of Magic. Cast photos were released this week showing the main characters in costume for the first time. Jamie Parker stars as the adult Harry, Noma Dumezweni plays Hermione Granger and Paul Thornley is Ron Weasley. Sam Clemmett was announced this week as the character Albus Severus Potter - the cursed child referred to in the title. The latest cast portraits, released on Thursday, show Draco Malfoy, played by Alex Price, and his son Scorpius Malfoy (Anthony Boyle) An email sent to ticket holders for the first preview performances said security checks would be taking place and asked them to "aim to arrive one hour before the start time". "All admissible bags will be searched upon each entry to the theatre. Any dangerous items, professional photography, video or audio recording equipment will not be allowed into the building. This is a condition of entry," it said. "Please note that you will be checked prior to admittance for both Parts One and Two, and if you leave the theatre at any point you will be checked again prior to re-admittance. "The use of photography and recording equipment of any kind is prohibited. Unauthorised recordings will be confiscated and deleted." A spokesperson for the production told the BBC: "We're taking security seriously to make sure it's an easy and enjoyable experience for theatre-goers." She said the early arrival time was about making sure the show started on time and would allow people to be sure about their journey home. Patrons were advised about the bag restrictions up front, she said, because "like in most theatres, the cloakroom space is tiny". She added that, in common with most theatres, audiences would be asked to turn off their phone and recording devices before the performances. Last year, Benedict Cumberbatch asked theatre goers not to film his stage performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Barbican theatre in London. The plea came after the actor was distracted by red camera lights from the auditorium during the previews. The crash happened on Queen's Avenue in Aldershot, Hampshire, just after 19:10 GMT on Tuesday. Police said the girls were hit by a black Ford Focus. The girls were named as 16-year-old Stacey Burrows, from Farnborough, and 17-year-old Lucy Pygott. Police said the 24-year-old suspect was released on bail until February. In a statement, Lucy's family said she was "an absolute joy to us and we feel lucky that she has been part of our family for 17 years". The teenagers were members of Aldershot, Farnham and District Athletic Club (AFD). Lucy was this year's England Under-20 3,000m champion and European Youth Championships bronze medallist. Stacey was the Hampshire Under-17 3,000m champion. Their most recent successes came at the Saucony English Cross Country Relay Championships in Mansfield on Saturday. Officers said the man arrested was held on suspicion of two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of careless driving while unfit through drink or drugs. A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokeswoman confirmed a fatal collision occurred in the "Aldershot Garrison" and that a soldier was held by Hampshire Police. She added: "It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage." AFD team-mates who visited the crash scene to leave flowers said the girls were long-distance cross-country runners and were doing a warm-up run at the start of their training session. Hannah Jacobs, 18, said: "They were very committed and motivated athletes, it's so tragic what has happened." Tributes were paid from the world of athletics. Niels de Vos, chief executive of UK Athletics, said: "All at UK Athletics send our deepest sympathies, this is a tragedy which will be felt across the athletics community." Dozens of tributes were also been left on social networking websites. European Championship bronze medal winner Steph Twell wrote on Twitter: "Start each day with a grateful heart. Saddened by such tragic news at AFD last night. My love goes out to the girls' families and community." Also writing on Twitter, Olympian Eilish Mccolgan said: "Awful news coming from Aldershot this morning. Thoughts go out to family, friends and fellow team-mates at AFD." Simon Jarvis, principal of Farnborough Sixth Form College, confirmed the two girls were students there. He said counsellors had been brought in to support pupils and staff and books of remembrance and condolence were being opened. Specialist officers are providing support to the teenagers' families. The long-term plan includes the reorganisation of all services including hospitals, GP surgeries and social care. NHS England said millions of pounds of funding may not be available and asked for a revised scheme to be submitted. Simon Wright, who is leading the sustainability and transformation plan, said it was not the "finished article". More on this and other stories in Shropshire The NHS England letter, seen by the BBC, was sent to Mr Wright following the publication of the draft proposals, which have been criticised by bosses at Shropshire Council and Telford and Wrekin Council. Written by two managers from North Midlands NHS, it says the plans did not take into account the "deficit position" for the area's clinical commissioning group (CCG) and the out-of-hospital care model and financial plan "does not form a credible basis for operational planning". It also raises concerns of £271m of external funding required, noting the possibility "this level of capital funding will not be available". The authors say the STP must be revised and resubmitted by 23 December. Mr Wright said the plans are "a working document", and more detail "will be added as the various work streams progress". "This includes work to address deficit levels across the system," he added. Councillor Shaun Davies, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, said: "These latest comments are not surprising given the unrealistic timescales the STP board is working to set by NHS England. "NHS England's concerns echo those that both councils made, particularly around a financial model that bears little resemblance to reality." Clive Wright, chief executive of Shropshire Council, previously warned plans to reorganise healthcare in the county are being "rushed". In more changes facing Shropshire healthcare, the Future Fit board has proposed moving women's and children's services to Shrewsbury and potentially downgrading Telford's A+E department. The commission said detention and treatment orders were issued 5,008 times last year - a record high. Almost half of emergency detentions issued by a doctor did not have the support of a mental health officer. The Scottish government said patient rights were a key part of its new Mental Health Strategy. The Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland issues annual figures on the use of laws related to treating people for mental ill-health. Its latest report shows that there were more episodes of compulsory treatment in 2015-16 than in any year since the Mental Health Act came into effect in 2005. In a statement, the commission said: "This aspect of the data raises concerns in the commission about patients' human rights." But the report also shows that there was a declining use of police stations as "places of safety" for people who are mentally unwell, which the commission said was "more positive". The compulsory treatment laws were used 4,379 times in 2006-07, dropping to a low of 4,069 in 2009-10. Since then there has been a steady upward trend in the number of times they were used. There are three forms of certification for compulsory treatment, with the most marked rise in the use of emergency detention certificates (EDC). These are used in crisis situations to detain someone who needs urgent care or treatment for mental ill-health. Use of EDCs went up by almost 10% in 2015-16 on the previous year. These certificates can be issued by any doctor and allow someone to be kept in hospital for up to 72 hours, but the Mental Health Act says a specialist social worker should also give consent where practical. The commission said this only happened on 56% of occasions. Dr Gary Morrison, an executive director at the Mental Welfare Commission said: "People who are very unwell, and need compulsory treatment for their mental ill health, are at their most vulnerable. "A mental health officer can help explain the process, and can also look at alternative ways of supporting a person without needing compulsory treatment. If there is no mental health officer involved in this critical decision, some people may be detained unnecessarily. "Others may find the experience of being told they will be detained much more traumatic than they would have done if a mental health officer had been there." Dr Morrison also said there were "significant variations across the country". "We expect those areas with low levels of mental health officer involvement to develop clear action plans for improvement," he added. Minister for Mental Health Maureen Watt said the figures should be seen against a backdrop of rising demand for mental health services, and a greater awareness of mental health issues leading to more people asking for help. She added: "It should also be remembered that, in certain circumstances, compulsory treatment is essential to provide protection to the patient and others. "Where compulsory treatment is used, the rights of patients are safeguarded by legislation. Safeguards include a right to independent advocacy, and an efficient Mental Health Tribunal system which grants and reviews orders for compulsory treatment. "The rise in compulsory treatments may be due to increased diligence from professionals in using the legislation appropriately. "However, we will continue to work with the Mental Welfare Commission and stakeholders both to ensure these orders are used correctly, and to promote patients' rights more generally. "Indeed, patient rights will be a key part of our new Mental Health Strategy, which will be published at the end of the year and backed with £150m of funding over five years." Under the Scotland's Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act, which came into effect in 2005, there are are three forms of certification for compulsory treatment. They are the emergency detention certificate (EDC), the short term detention certificate (STDC) and the compulsory treatment order (CTO). An EDC can be issued by any doctor, though the guidelines state the doctor "must consult a mental health officer and get his/her agreement, unless it is not possible for this consultation to take place". The patient must be transferred to hospital within 72 hours of the certificate being issued and can be kept in hospital for a further 72 hours. The guidelines state that the purpose of an EDC is to allow a patient to be assessed for whether they need medicial treatment for a mental disorder. An STDC can only be granted by a doctor who has experience diagnosing and treating mental disorders. The patient must be transferred to hospital within 72 hours of the certificate being issued and can be kept in hospital for a further 28 days. The purpose of the certificate is to allow patients to be assessed and/or treated in hospital. A CTO is applied for when doctors believe a patient needs longer term care for a mental disorder. Source: Scottish government guide to short-term and emergency powers under mental health act The Magpies made their intentions clear from the start as Adam Campbell shot wide before Haydn Hollis opened the scoring after Ameobi hit the woodwork. It was no more than Kevin Nolan's side deserved for a brilliant opening, but they were pegged back in the 21st minute when Chris Porter lashed in a superb equaliser. But Notts were soon back on the front foot and after Jorge Grant went close, Ameobi restored the lead with a thumping effort from the edge of the box. Colchester were sent out early for the second half, but they couldn't stop the hosts who should have made it 3-1 when Grant's cutback was turned wide by Jon Stead. The third goal came in the 73rd minute as Grant's pinpoint free-kick was headed in by Ameobi as Notts cruised to a win that moves them well away from any relegation danger.

The Ulster Unionist Party has said an aunt and uncle of its Mid-Ulster MLA Sandra Overend have a business which is a recipient under the RHI scheme. DUP MLA Carla Lockhart has indicated that her brother-in-law is a farmer and is in the scheme. The party said Ms Lockhart "has only recently become aware of this." DUP MLA William Irwin has a son-in-law who is a farmer and is in the scheme. The wife of former Ulster Unionist MLA Neil Somerville has a wood pellet boiler under the scheme in a family business, Clogher Valley Horses Welcome. There is no suggestion that any of the relations of Ms Lockhart, Mrs Overend, Mr Irwin or Mr Somerville operate the boilers inappropriately. The Renewable Heat Incentive scheme was intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources. However, businesses were receiving more in subsidies than they were paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became majorly oversubscribed. The fallout from the scandal surrounding the scheme, which is approximately £490m over budget, resulted in the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March. The UUP said it is contacting a small number of councillors by the end of the day who failed to respond to a request asking them if they benefited directly from the RHI scheme. A spokesman for the Ulster Unionist Party said: "We are aware that many who applied to the RHI scheme feel they are being unfairly vilified because of a catastrophic failure with the Department of Enterprise Trade & Investment. "Given Mr Somerville served however briefly as a MLA, we call on Ofgem to fast track an audit of his boiler alongside those belonging to relatives of elected representatives. That is only fair, and the best way to ensure public confidence." The DUP said neither Ms Lockhart nor Mr Irwin "was involved in lobbying for these individuals (their family members) and neither has any financial or other interests in the farms concerned. "We would again want to point out that in the main those in the non domestic RHI scheme applied absolutely legitimately to what was a government approved scheme and should be viewed as such." She tested positive to HIV in 1997 and the next year went public about her status, defying her husband - and traditional taboos - in doing so. "I felt like a ray of light had hit me after testing positive and I shouted 'Praise God!'. Such a reaction was not humanly possible even for me to understand but I looked at it as an avenue to change the lives of others," the 40-year-old told the BBC. "When I realised that I was HIV-positive, I realised that I had a responsibility to spread the news from how it can be contracted, how it can be prevented and also breaking the stigma and the silence." For most of her life, Ms Kasune has been affected by the virus. Growing up in a rural village, she lost both her parents to Aids when she was 14 years old. She became the head of the household, providing for her siblings, and was then married off at 18. Driven by a passion to see a generation free of HIV, her own decision to go public about her status divided opinion - not at least with her late husband whom she suspects infected her as his first two wives had died. Ms Kasune's church excommunicated her for being defiant, and going against her spouse's wishes about keeping her HIV status a secret. Her own family was also against her status being known. "I have not taken any moment in my life lightly but I have realised that to each one of us, there is a challenge and in this generation, HIV is one of those challenges," she says. "One day a question will be asked about what we did about HIV and I hope I will be able to answer my grandchildren and many generations to come. "I long to see an HIV-free generation and hopefully a day without stigma." And she has travelled worldwide as part of her mission, meeting leaders like former US Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, as well as outgoing UN chief Ban Ki-moon. Yet it is in Zambia that Ms Kasune, who has authored Warrior Princess - a book chronicling her life, wants to make the biggest impact. This is what prompted her to run for parliament for the opposition United Party for National Development and become the first publicly known HIV-positive MP. During her maiden speech, she reminded her fellow lawmakers about the importance of testing for the virus. "It's important for parliamentarians in particular to go for HIV tests in public or share their HIV status because leaders set the pace in everything that we do in a country," Ms Kasune later told the BBC. "I think leaders have a big role and many more people will follow when they do that." Her constituency is located about an hour north of the capital, Lusaka, and her visits are celebrated. At a school she has helped construct through Fountain of Life, an organisation she co-founded, pupils sing her praises. Zambia's HIV figures Source: UNAids - Zambia 2015 estimates "She has inspired a lot of people including myself in the sense that if a person is HIV-positive and has come out openly, that's a good thing because people are dying because of stigma," says head teacher Godfrey Monga. "When people were voting for her, being HIV-positive was not an issue. Her courage shows that even if one is positive, they can be productive in society." Zambia is among the countries with the most HIV cases in Africa - about 1.2 million people, out of a population of about 14 million - are believed to have the virus that causes Aids. And analysts believe that confronting stigma is key in the fight against the epidemic. "If people were to come out in the open, we would actually break the stigma… fuelled by hiding behind closed doors. Some of us are not even telling our partners, are not telling our friends," says Constance Mudenda from the government-owned Centre for Infection Diseases Research in Zambia (CIDRZ), who is herself HIV-positive. The Zambian government has employed different strategies in combating HIV, like encouraging male circumcision, preventing mother-to-child transmission and warning against multiple concurrent partners. Dr Chitalu Chilufya, the country's health minister, says leaders can play a crucial role in fighting HIV. "By seeing a leader come out in the open, the public will actually ease about the scourge. "So they will say if our leader can come out in the open, why won't we?" For Ms Kasune, whose old church has now apologised for excommunicating her, confronting HIV requires all leaders pulling in the same direction. The MP, who has re-married and has three children who are all negative, compares their role to that of a parent. "Children are likely to do what we have been doing rather than what we have been saying. "So I think we need to summon the courage and test publicly or share our results with the public," she says. But it is not clear if all parliamentarians will be so bold. Shares in the credit card firm rose 9% after it raised its 2016 profit forecast and reported better-than-expected third quarter revenue. Overall, the Dow Jones was 40 points lower at 18,162, while the wider S&P 500 was flat down 2 points at 2,144. The tech-focused Nasdaq slipped by 4 points to 5,241. On the downside, Ebay tumbled more than 10% after forecasts for the current quarter, the crucial holiday season, disappointed investors. Verizon fell nearly 2.5% percent after the company posted weak revenue for the third quarter, having added fewer than expected new subscribers. It also indicated it is considering renegotiating its $4.8bn (£3.9bn) deal to buy Yahoo Inc. The company's chief financial officer said they were working on the basis that the security breach at Yahoo earlier this year which involved 500 million email accounts could affect the transaction. Yahoo's shares fell 0.8% percent. The principal of Chelfham Mill in Barnstaple said it would stay shut for at least six weeks, and Ofsted has suspended its registration to operate. The privately-run school provides residential and day care for 41 pupils aged seven to 18. Chelfham Mill normally provides some day care during the summer. Councils have been instructed by Ofsted to find alternative provision for boys in their care while the investigation takes place, and parents have been informed of the situation. In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said officers were "working closely with partner organisations including social services as this investigation takes place". The principal of the school, Katy Roberts, said: "The school has been closed for an initial period of six weeks pending investigation by an external agency, but I can assure you I am committed to supporting the investigation process." An Ofsted spokesperson said: "Ofsted has suspended the registration of the setting pending further inquiries - this will be kept under review as the investigation continues." Alistair Dewhirst, Devon county councillor for Teignbridge South, told BBC News he had asked the chief executive of the council for an urgent report about the "scandal" at the school. He said he had previously raised safeguarding issues with the authority. Mr Dewhirst has asked the council how many children are affected by the closure and for an "assurance that they are now in a safe location". He also questioned "what will be done to make our inspection regime robust enough to ensure that this sort of Dickensian scandal does not happen again". Devon County Council said in a statement: "Private schools are registered and regulated by Ofsted. We have worked with Chelfham Mill in the past to help them make improvements following Ofsted inspections. "Senior officers are preparing a reply to Mr Dewhirst's questions." The regulator's latest report on Chelfham Mill, in February 2015, found young people were not being adequately safeguarded and the school had "declined in effectiveness". "The senior leadership team are not successfully managing this home," it said. The school's "mission statement" is to "provide a secure, caring environment in which each boy can realise his full educational and social capabilities and become a better adjusted individual ready to cope successfully with life's demands". Transgender people can face judgement and hostility in India, and around half of them fail to complete their schooling as a result. Sahaj International is the first school of its kind in India. It will welcome 10 pupils, aged 25-50. The students will be prepared for India's Class 10 and 12 board exams, normally sat when students are aged 15-16 or 17-18 respectively. The curriculum will also include some vocational skills. Transgender activist Vijayraja Mallika, who heads the school, told the BBC: "The school aims at making transgenders eligible for taking decent jobs and living a dignified life." "We have admitted six candidates so far, all male-to-female persons, from 14 applicants. Of the 10 seats, we have reserved one for female-to-male and one for the disabled." The school is in Kerala, which is the first Indian state to adopt a transgender policy against discrimination. It promotes inclusive education, and offers free gender reassignment surgery at government hospitals. The centre's organisers said they had arranged sponsors for all the students, to pay for their food, accommodation and studies. The teachers also belong to the transgender community - a measure designed to protect and encourage the pupils. The decision comes after India's first transgender college principal, Manabi Bandopadhyay, resigned from her post claiming that some of her students and fellow teachers had agitated against her because of her sexual identity. India has an estimated two million transgender people, and in 2014 the country's Supreme Court ruled that they have equal rights under the law. As well as the right to marry and inherit property, they are also eligible for quotas in jobs and educational institutions. But abuse and exploitation are still common. Many transgender people are thrown out of home by their families, denied jobs, and forced into sex work, begging, or dancing at weddings to make ends meet. Even finding a venue for the school was a challenge, as nobody was willing to rent the founders their premises. "We approached some 700 people and 51 households, and all of them turned us away. They seemed to think that we were looking for space for prostitution," Ms Mallika said. Finally, a suitable site was found. All of the school's first students come from Kerala, but Ms Mallika hopes to gather more from beyond the state. "This is a model centre. Once proved successful, we will expand the facilities and admit more people, from across India," she said. "Kerala has some 25,000 transgenders, and 57% of them were forced to drop out of school due to stigma. They all should get a decent accommodation the policy initiatives envisaged." The school was opened by activist Kalki Subramaniam, who is a transgender woman herself. "This day is historic for me," she said. Reporting by Ashraf Padanna in Trivandrum, Kerala They have used aerial equipment to tackle the blaze at Urban Forest Ltd in the Carnbane industrial estate. The company recycles discarded wood into bedding material for animals. Firefighters were alerted to the fire just after 06:30 BST on Saturday. Six fire appliances and two aerial appliances were deployed to the scene. Group Commander Edward Carroll said fire crews were "confronted with a well-developed fire" when they arrived at the plant on Derryboy Road. "In the early stages there was a considerable risk of the fire spreading but due to the prompt actions of the crews we were able to contain the fire to the building of origin," Mr Carroll said. Newry and Armagh MP Mickey Brady described the incident as a "major fire". In a tweet, the Sinn Féin MP thanked fire crews, saying their "prompt and professional action" had ensured the containment of the blaze. North Weald in Essex was established in 1916 as an RAF base for fighter planes to combat airship raids over London. Fighter planes, mainly Hurricanes, flew from the site during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The RAF left the base, just off the M11 near Epping, in 1964 and it is currently used by businesses and small aircraft. Pilots from Norway, USA, New Zealand, Czechoslovakia and Poland also flew RAF planes from North Weald during the 1939-45 conflict. Arthur Moreton, airfield historian and chairman of the North Weald Royal Air Force Association, said: "It was involved in the defence of London in WW1, but it really came to public prominence during the Battle of Britain when it played a pivotal role as an RAF Fighter Sector Station with Hawker Hurricanes defending the eastern approaches to the capital. "Spitfires arrived later in the war and its role continued during the Cold War, but the growth of civilian flights around London's major airports meant it was too restrictive for the RAF to continue using it. "Today it's a thriving airfield for private flying, restoration of historic military aircraft and the museum." North Weald, which is owned by Epping Forest District Council, hosts its Centenary Air Fete on Sunday. Ash Bailey, event manager for EM Aviation Services, said: "This is our big event of the centenary year and we're most excited about the return of three Norwegian veterans who flew from here for the RAF during World War Two. "The weather's looking good and we're confident it's going to be a fitting celebration." The media company has operated in Northern Ireland since 1959 when it became the first commercial television channel in Ireland. It launched a station in the Republic of Ireland in January this year. But the new Dublin station struggled to find an audience and is expected to lose almost £12m this year. In August UTV Media confirmed it was in talks regarding the potential sale of its television assets to ITV. The deal, which was confirmed on Monday, excludes UTV Media's radio businesses UTV Radio GB and UTV Radio Ireland, and its digital media businesses, Simply Zest and Tibus Digital. The radio stations are responsible for about 60% of UTV Media's revenue. That part of the business which is not being sold will be renamed at a later date. ITV said it has no plans to change the on-air branding, meaning the UTV name will remain rather than becoming ITV Northern Ireland. Richard Huntingford, chairman of UTV said ITV would be a "good owner" of the business and UTV intend to continue to "pursue a successful strategy" in the radio business. He said ITV's "scale and reach" would help accelerate future growth of the company and that shareholder value would increase through the television assets becoming part of ITV's global broadcast and content business. He also thanked UTV television staff for their "outstanding service" over the years and wished them every success in the future. UTV broadcasts many of Northern Ireland's most watched programmes. In August, it reported half-year profits of £1m on turnover of £58.3m. That compared to profits of £10m in the same period of 2014. The deal will need approval from the UK and Irish broadcasting regulators and Ireland's competition watchdog before going ahead. Adam Crozier, ITV's chief executive, said the two companies had a "long-standing relationship". "UTV has been the leading commercial broadcaster in Northern Ireland for many years," he said. "UTV Television's strategic objectives are closely aligned with our own and we are very pleased that they are joining the ITV family." John McCann, the group chief executive at UTV Media, said the sale was the "best way to take [the] business forward". However, Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt, a former broadcaster with UTV, said he was concerned about the deal. "I think it's a shame and I think long-term it will be potentially very damaging because it may not be the endgame, ITV itself could be under threat from a global player," he said. He said while a commitment to the UTV branding was important "the commitment may only be short-term". On completion of the deal ITV will own 13 of the 15 regional licences for the channel three network. Kensington Palace says Prince William and Kate will tour the two European countries at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The couple have already announced a two-day trip to Paris later this month. The duke travelled to Germany last summer, visiting Dusseldorf for events honouring the role of British armed forces based in the country. The duchess has yet to make an official trip to Germany and the couple have not toured Poland before on behalf of the government. Full details of the visit will be released at a later date. During last year's visit to Germany, William gave a speech at a gala event alongside Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying the "depth" of Britain's friendship with Germany would not change after Brexit. By Peter Hunt, royal correspondent It is striking that the Foreign Office has asked Prince William and his wife to make an official visit to Poland and Germany. It will take place four months into the negotiations that will lead to the UK leaving the EU. The British government clearly thinks it will be beneficial to have such senior royals in Poland, and especially in Germany, at such a time. It helps that Germany has a sustained and enduring interest in all things royal. Number 10 can portray the trip as a sign of Prime Minister Theresa May's words in action that we may be leaving the European Union, but we want to remain firm friends with Europe. Read more from Peter The British monarchy has close ties with Germany as a succession of sovereigns including George I - born in what is now modern German - were rulers of Hanover in Germany. The 300th anniversary of what is known as the "personal union" was marked in 2014, and Beatrice and Eugenie visited the country previous year. During a state visit to Germany in 2015, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh visited the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on the 70th anniversary of its liberation by British forces. The Cambridge's official two-day visit to Paris on 17 and 18 March will include a reception for young French leaders and the Wales v France Six Nations match at the Stade de France. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Royal visits play a very important role in the United Kingdom's bilateral diplomacy... "Whilst every royal visit is unique, each visit is designed to support foreign policy objectives and promote closer ties across a range of areas, for example cultural, economic or political, between the UK and the host country." Figures released by analysts Nielsen Sports show a big growth in interest in Hong Kong, Japan and China. The sport's governing body, the UCI, recently announced a new Chinese World Tour race - the Tour of Guangxi - which starts in October later this year. The race is set to run for at least the next three years. Of the cycling markets measured by Nielsen, Hong Kong showed the largest increase in interest in cycling, growing from 39% of those questioned in 2013 to 48% today. Japan showed the second largest growth over the same period, where the popularity of cycling has jumped by seven percentage points, from 14% to 21% today. Chinese interest in cycling has grown six percentage points, from 19% in 2013 to a quarter (25%) of the population today saying they are interested in the sport. As well as the new autumn race, the Tour de France criterium as well as the Etape China by le Tour de France are also making an entry into China in 2017. "We're seeing a significant spike in interest in cycling across the region with numerous events being staged, especially in China," said Claude Ringuet, managing director for Nielsen Sports in South-East Asia and Greater China, and son of a professional rider. "Increased investment and activation from the world's top cycling brands targeting the region, a growing middle class, increased investment in cycling infrastructure and the staging of major cycling events have all contributed to this growth we're seeing. "The growth in both interest and steady participation increases are insights essential for both brands and rights owners looking to capitalize on this growth in public interest in the sport." The US, Russian and India also feature in cycling's top ten growth markets, measured by interest in the sport. Nielsen twice a year measures the responses of 1000 people aged 16-69 in 33 different international cycling markets, including in the sport's "heartland markets" such as France, Italy and Spain, which have all seen a growth in interest. The controversial plan - dubbed a "snooper's charter" by critics - is meant to aid the fight against crime. But a Lib Dem MP on the committee scrutinising it has threatened to veto it unless privacy is safeguarded. The consultation ends on Thursday with the government expected to push ahead with legislation later this year. Ministers took the unusual step of publishing a bill in draft form so that interested parties could have their say on it - in recognition of its controversial nature. A parliamentary committee began an inquiry into the draft Communications Data Bill in July, inviting organisations and individuals to submit written evidence by 23 August. The proposed legislation would require internet service providers to store details of internet use in the UK for a year to allow police, intelligence services and tax inspectors to search it in the course of their investigations. Records will include people's activity on social network sites, webmail, internet phone calls and online gaming, though officers will still need a warrant to see the content of messages. The inquiry by a cross-party committee of six MPs and six peers is asking whether the government has made clear what it hopes to achieve, and whether ministers have made a convincing case for the new powers. The consultation is also examining whether the technology exists to enable reliable storage of data, and if proposals for parliamentary oversight are adequate. The inquiry has heard oral evidence from representatives of the Home Office, the police, civil liberties groups and academics. Ministers argue that changes are needed to ensure that law-enforcement agencies can access data about communication using new technology just as they are currently able to with older forms of communication. They believe it is necessary to extend the retention of data to emails and internet traffic in order to combat serious crime, including terrorism. Home Office security and counter-terrorism head Charles Farr told the committee that existing provisions had been "overtaken by technical changes in the communications industry and in the way people use communication, with the result that the data that public authorities have had access to in the past is no longer as readily available to them as it used to be". Jim Killock of the Open Rights Group, who also gave evidence to the committee, described the inquiry as "extremely important from a democratic point of view… but in wider terms it isn't adequate". He said the Home Office had so far failed to provide details of how they will collect data and precisely what data would be collected. "I think the parliamentarians are doing their best but they have been given an impossible job. They are having to guess at what the scheme might be." This view is echoed by Lib Dem MP Julian Huppert, a member of the committee, who says: "So far the Home Office has not made a well-argued case." He said he could only support a bill in Parliament if it was substantially rewritten to address "massive incursions into civil liberties". The previous Labour government was forced to scrap plans for a single database of telecoms records in 2009 after a public outcry and criticism from opposition parties. The coalition agreement between the Conservatives and Lib Dems committed them to "implement a full programme of measures to reverse the substantial erosion of civil liberties and roll back state intrusion". Mr Huppert said: "The challenge is to persuade the Home Office to stick to the coalition agreement." The committee will hold more oral evidence sessions when Parliament returns from its summer break before reporting in November.

The health minister has confirmed that £1.5m has now been made available. The jobs will be advertised shortly. The new Londonderry hospital unit is on schedule to open in the autumn. It will treat over 1,000 patients from Northern Ireland and almost 400 from the Republic of Ireland. Simon Hamilton said the jobs would be specialised and highly skilled. "The commencement of the recruitment process for these posts is a key milestone on the critical path to the centre's opening," he said. "These highly skilled staff will have a central role in providing the expertise to enable us to provide safe, sustainable and high quality radiotherapy services at the Altnagelvin Hospital. "It will allow patients to be able to get the highest quality, complex radiotherapy treatments, without facing lengthy journeys." Ahead of the summit the BBC travelled to Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan, to ask those affected what they wanted out of the summit, which is being attended by Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Rosetta, 44, was gang-raped in 1999 during Burundi's civil war. The perpetrators arrived at her parents' home, put a hood over her head and raped her repeatedly. She says she's unsure how many times she was raped, or by how many men. "When rapists are released from prisons and they re-enter the villages where we live, they intimidate us by saying: 'Did you get what you wanted?' "My call to world leaders attending this conference is to ensure that rape is named a war crime with tough consequences so that no other vulnerable person is attacked the way we were during the war." Lucy was raped during Burundi's civil war, which lasted from 1993 to 2005. She was 12 years old when three attackers put a hood over her head and attacked her as she walked home from school. "In Burundi, rapists often don't serve their full term, which is traumatic for us. So we would ask world leaders and celebrities who are attending the conference in London is to make sure just and tough punishments and sentences are handed out to the guilty." Fidela, 37 - pictured on the far left - lives in Burundi and has six children to support. She is one of many rape victims who have faced discrimination because they have been raped. "My call to world leaders would be to ask them to support vulnerable rape victims like me. "If the international community could provide us more support to rebuild our lives, that would be helpful." Faida Maria, from DR Congo, was walking home with three other girls when they were ambushed by two men. "The younger girls managed to run away to the village but I didn't have the strength to flee and they took me. They raped me and stabbed me," she said. "I didn't wake up for three hours after that. I was 12 years old. "I think that in order to end sexual violence here there needs to be more awareness raising campaigns for men, through radio programmes. The programmes would tell men to stop raping women."

Four men deny attempting to smuggle 35 people into Tilbury Docks, Essex. One man died in the container. Basildon Crown Court heard one defendant been caught in France with migrants in the back of his lorry 11 days before the Tilbury incident. Timothy Murphy from Londonderry was fined £5,000 in August. Prosecutor Michael Goodwin told the court how 12 Afghans had been found in a locker in Mr Murphy's lorry transporting frozen chips from Coquelles, France, to the UK on 5 August. "This was not a case of an energetic migrant chasing after and jumping on board in an attempt to smuggle their way on board," he said. "There were 12 people inside that locker. They did not end up there by chance." Mr Goodwin said as Mr Murphy drove the lorry to Coquelles he was in regular contact with fellow defendants Stephen McLaughlin and Martin McGlinchey. The group of 35 Afghan Sikhs was found in the container at Tilbury 11 days after that incident, on 16 August. Mr Goodwin told the court how dock workers heard noises inside the container and opened it up, finding those inside distressed and struggling to breathe. Meet Singh Kapoor, 40, had died in the overnight crossing from Zeebrugge, Belgium. Mr McLaughlin, 34, of Limavady, Londonderry; Mr Murphy, 33, of Elmgrove, Londonderry; Mr McGlinchey, 47, of Derryloughan Road, Coalisland, County Tyrone; and Taha Sharif, 38, who is Kurdish and lived in Tottenham, London, at the time, have all pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to facilitate illegal entry into the UK. The trial is expected to last up to six weeks. Tony Witheridge bowed his head as bloody images of his daughter's body were shown on the third day of the trial of Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo. The two men deny murdering Miss Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, and David Miller, 24, from Jersey. Their bodies were found on a beach on the island of Koh Tao last September. A police officer told the trial of the severe injuries Miss Witheridge suffered and evidence she had been raped. Mr Miller's body was discovered with severe head injuries several metres away, he said. BBC correspondent Jonah Fisher said Miss Witheridge's father and brother sat with their heads bowed as the evidence was presented in court but continued listening. "Thai courts make little allowance for the feelings of relatives," he said. "So for an hour the families of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller looked and listened as crime scene pictures were shown in court." Speaking at the court, Mr Miller's father Ian said he and his wife Sue had come "with an open mind", adding that it had been an emotional time for the family. "There has been lots of chit-chat on the internet. We are here for David because of his tragic death. "We'll go with the flow as much as we can. We won't comment on the trial process. We'll be dignified for David." Mrs Miller said: "It's been hard, very hard. Part of the reason for coming out, was to go to Koh Tao. We had one day on Koh Tao, it was really hard." The families of Miss Witheridge and Mr Miller are now returning to the UK. The court has now been told that vital DNA evidence cannot be retested. At the end of the trial's third day, the judge said police had informed him all the samples taken on the island were "finished" - meaning they could not be analysed again. The prosecution says a DNA match between samples found on Miss Witheridge's body and the two defendants is central to its case. Defence lawyers had asked for the samples to be independently verified but have now been told there is nothing left of them to re-test. Police have, however, agreed to hand over the garden hoe which was the murder weapon, along with a shoe and a plastic bag. The discovery of the bodies last September sparked a major police investigation and intense local and international pressure to find those responsible. Mr Zaw and Mr Wai (also known as Win Zaw Htun), both 22 and migrants from Myanmar, also known as Burma, were arrested several weeks later. They are said to have confessed to the crime but later retracted their statements. The defendants have repeatedly stated their innocence over the murders, with the defence alleging they were framed. Verdicts in the case are not expected until October. Ryan Christie came closest to a leveller seconds before half-time when his left-foot shot from the edge of the box was tipped over by Silviu Lung Jr. Constantin Budescu's 24th-minute first-leg strike secured the Romanians an aggregate victory. And it is they who face West Ham United in the third qualifying round. Inverness were composed in possession and produced a more than competent performance, with impact in the final third the crucial missing element for John Hughes's side. The tie was nearly over late on when Budescu went clear and, with all the time in the world, fired straight at Owain Fon Williams. It would have been a harsh end to a positive performance. An impressive band of blue-clad Highlanders occupied a corner of the stadium, enthralled at the prospect of their first opportunity to see their side away in European action. The sense many had prior to kick off was that this tie was far from over. Much of Hughes's thinking in preparation must have taken account of the sweltering conditions and, although some respite arrived with the fading sun, conditions were still taxing. Inverness settled quickly and were rarely threatened in the opening period, albeit they did not give the Astra defence too much to think about. Greg Tansey lashed a free-kick wildly over, while David Raven missed the target in similar fashion. Astra failed to impose themselves as an attacking threat. It was cagey, no-risk football that kept home supporters muted. A Doran header was held comfortably by Lung, but the sense was growing that the visitors could find a way through. The goal Inverness craved almost arrived just on the stroke of half time, when fantastic interplay released Christie, but the midfielder was left wincing as Lung did well to tip his shot over for a corner. Budescu had his first real sight of goal after the break, but the first-leg scorer's effort was scuffed and settled easily in Fon Williams's hands and the goalkeeper then tipped away the midfielder's powerful effort. Doran had perhaps the chance of the game when the ball fell to him eight yards out, but the winger's shot was rushed and bounced into the goalkeeper's arms. Inverness had to gamble and the tie was so nearly over moments before that when William curled an effort beyond Fon Williams but inches wide of his post. Budescu had the chance to kill the tie late on when clean through, but to the despair of the home fans he shot inexplicably tamely at Fon Williams. The European experience was over for Inverness, but it is an adventure they will look back on with fondness, if not wonder, at what might have been against a side they more than matched.

The Talking Statues project brings the city's history to life when smartphone users scan a code to receive a call. Ms Whelan, Yara Greyjoy in the TV series, is the voice of Drury Dame, an elegant lamp bearer who tells how her appearance caused an outcry. Mr Reeves is the Black Prince in City Square. The statues can be heard for the next year as part of the Yorkshire Festival. Elsewhere in the city, Going Viral playwright Daniel Bye and Shameless actor Lee Toomes created a voice for the statue of World War II pilot Arthur Aaron at Eastgate, while Coronation Street actor Drew Cain revealed the thoughts of inventor James Watt at City Square. Yorkshire poet Ian McMillan asks what a Frenchman is doing playing petanque in Bond Court and actor Brian Blessed is the voice of a stone lion outside the city's town hall. Mr McMillan said: "I'm always wanting to explore new ideas of getting language performed in places you don't expect it, and you certainly don't expect statues to start telling you a story. "As a child I had a fantasy that statues were just dying to tell you their stories, and now I can make that dream into a reality." Matt Burman, of the Yorkshire Festival, said: "Talking Statues is a fantastic project; mixing culture, technology, a little bit of history and a lot of fun." Thomas Piquemal stepped down because he feared the project could jeopardise EDF's financial position, according to reports. EDF shares are trading 6.6% lower. Last month, Chris Bakken, the director of the project that could produce 7% of UK electricity by 2025, said he was leaving to pursue other opportunities. Jean-Bernard Levy, chairman and chief executive of EDF, said Mr Piquemal told him of the decision to leave last week and that he regretted the "haste" of Mr Piquemal's departure. The company's board is expected to finalise in April how it will fund the project after postponing the decision a number of times. Mr Levy said the board was studying the investment in Hinkley Point to ascertain the best way to finance the power plant. He added that EDF aimed to announce a final investment decision "soon". EDF has provisionally appointed Xavier Girre, who joined the company last year as finance director of its French business, as the group finance chief. At first take, it might appear the resignation of a company's finance director reveals a business in crisis. And EDF's share price fall this morning seems to bear that out. But, for supporters of the building of a new £18bn nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset - the world's most expensive power project - the resignation of Thomas Piquemal looks like clearing the way for the EDF board to give the final go-ahead for the scheme. Mr Piquemal was widely reported as being a trenchant critic of the costly nuclear project. His fate appears to have been sealed last week when the French government, which largely owns EDF, confirmed that it is still backing the scheme That came after the meeting between Francois Hollande and David Cameron - also an enthusiastic backer. On this occasion, political will has trumped any financial concerns. More from Kamal Why do we need Hinkley C? A global surge in nuclear power investment Why is China backing Hinkley Point? How to dismantle old nuclear plants The project has been plagued by delays, but publicly the firm has insisted a decision to move forward is imminent. In October last year, EDF agreed a deal under which China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) would pay a third of the cost of the £18bn project in exchange for a 33.5% stake. But according to reports, EDF is struggling to find the cash for its remaining 66.5% stake and is seeking help from the French government, which owns 84.5% of EDF. The company is also facing opposition from French union officials, who have suggested that investment in Hinkley Point C should be delayed until 2019. The CFE-CGC Energy union said there were problems with a similar reactor design in France that needed to be solved. Francois Raillot from the union which has a seat on EDF's board, said the company could sell some assets to finance Hinkley Point, but added: "It is a very bad time to do it because the price of energy is so low. "The state, which is a shareholder, will have to give [EDF] money to do it. But another problem is that the French state has no money." The new Hinkley plant was originally due to open in 2017, and it has come under fire for both its cost and delays to the timetable for building. The British government has also been criticised for guaranteeing a price of £92.50 per megawatt hour of electricity - more than twice the current cost - for the electricity Hinkley produces for 35 years. A UK Government spokesperson said: "We continue to fully support the project and President Hollande said himself on Thursday afternoon that it has the full support of the French Government." Tony Roulstone, from the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre, said the departure of Mr Piquemal was "a big blow". He said EDF was already facing a number of other financing issues, including a decision to buy a majority stake in Areva's nuclear reactor unit, adding: "They are committed to upgrading their existing power stations in France at a cost of €55bn over 15 years." "At a commercial level there is a way for the government to step aside but at a political level, this is part of the energy strategy," he said. Tom Greatrex, the chief executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said: "What I think is vitally important is we get a decision on Hinkley, and then we get on with replacing our generation stock which is going off line. "We need new nuclear as part of that low carbon balance linked to the future. And Hinkley is an important part of that." Tom Burke, chairman of environmental think tank E3G, said there was now "a serious question mark" over the future of Hinkley Point. "You've now had two senior people leave within a month, both clearly having trouble convincing their colleagues to go ahead in the direction that their colleagues want to go." Travelling on her own to escape her home city, which is now so-called Islamic State's (IS) capital, she crawled through mud along the Turkish border to make it to safety. "Death was my companion at every step," she told me at the Kara Tepe camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. Her heart pounded at each of the 46 checkpoints she had to cross to get out: "They don't want doctors to leave and they could have prevented me." She sewed her papers into her clothes so they wouldn't be found. But she wanted to bring them with her - the precious qualifications with which she hopes to start a new life and find work. She wants to join her brothers and sisters who have already made it to Germany. Maha is also a statistic. When the migration crisis began, most of those on the move were men. But since the start of the year, women and children have made up the bulk of the refugees and migrants. Many are trying to join their husbands and children who went ahead with the money the family had at the time, leaving them to come afterwards. Others have lost husbands and brothers to Syria's five-year war. And aid agencies say the risks the women face are not over now that they have reached Europe's shores.

Europe migrant crisis - Special Report "Without the protection of family and community, they frequently endure sexual violence, unintended pregnancies, trafficking and even child marriage," says Babatunde Osotimehin, head of the UN's Population Fund. "Basic needs for family planning, reproductive health and safe childbirth and protection from violence and abuse are rarely met." Women are under "enormous stress", according to Kiki Michailidou, a psychologist for the International Rescue Committee, which works in Kara Tepe. "I've got a waiting list of 20 people and every day we get new referrals." I asked Maha if she felt scared as a woman travelling without any male relatives. "Actually what we left behind was far worse," she told me. "I was frightened in my own country. That's why I left." Maha is now living with eight other women and girls in a prefabricated hut. It is cramped. But the Kara Tepe camp has been set aside for the most vulnerable people arriving on Lesbos. And conditions are far better than they are elsewhere in the country where 50,000 people have been stranded since Europe's borders closed and the EU-Turkey deal came into effect. But a sense of desperate uncertainty pervades the camp. In limbo on Lesbos, the women have no idea what will happen to them - and endless time to relive their traumas. Just a few metres from Maha's new home, four other well-groomed young women share a hut with four of their children. It is almost noon when I meet them, and they have just got up. "We don't want you to think we're lazy. But we try to sleep as much as possible - just to ease the boredom and to try to forget." When they recall why they are here, their eyes keep welling with tears. The family is from the Syrian city of Deir al-Zour - which is divided between control by the government and by IS militants. And they are too frightened to give their names. "The smugglers stole our money. They blackmailed us, saying that they'd tell the police if we didn't pay up," says the eldest of the women, a 38-year-old we'll call Fatima. "If we had just one man with us, it would be different. We'd have someone to fight our corner." But her husband is stuck in Syria. He is a government employee and wasn't able to get out safely through all the checkpoints on their road to Turkey. Fatima's sister's husband is dead - beheaded by IS militants. Her first cousin's husband died under torture in a government jail. And they are all trying to reach Germany where a relative is now living with one of her sons. Their hut in Kara Tepe has no light - and no lock. They tie the door with string at night to make sure no-one comes in. "We're scared to go to the toilet at night," Fatima tells me. Many of the women travelling without men have formed their own support networks to help each other. Siham and Fathiye both smile as they remember how they first met - in a Turkish detention facility where they were held after crossing illegally from Syria in March. Siham's husband and two sons disappeared in northern Syria over a year ago, and she has no idea what happened to them. She fled Aleppo with her daughter after their house was hit by a rebel shell. They now share a hut with Fathiye who - with her three youngest children - left Damascus to try to reach her husband and two older children in Germany. "We've become like sisters," says Fathiye of the friendship she has forged with Siham. "I left my sisters behind in Syria but I've found a sister here." "Me too," says Siham. The women hope - one day - to live next door to each other in Germany. But, like everyone in this camp, they don't know how long it will take for their cases to be processed, or what chance they have of success. BBC News World On The Move is a day of coverage dedicated to migration, and the changing effect it is having on our world.

You can follow the discussion and reaction to it, with live online coverage on the BBC News website. The Australian star was speaking ahead of a screening of romantic period drama Carol at the BFI London Film Festival. Adapted from Patricia Highsmith novel The Price of Salt, the film tells the story of two women who fall in love in 1950s New York. Both Blanchett and co-star Rooney Mara have been widely tipped for Oscar nominations for their roles. Speaking before the screening, Blanchett said: "Every time there are interesting complex roles played by actresses on screen someone asks, 'does this mean there's going to be more of the same?' "We seem to every year find ourselves in the same conversation, that somehow it's remarkable. "I think there's a swathe of great roles for women and swathe of wonderful female performers. I think it's just time to get on with it." Blanchett plays alluring married woman Carol Aird, who meets young department store clerk Therese Belivet, played by Mara. The couple form an instant connection and fall in love. Carol faces losing custody of her daughter in a bitter divorce battle because of her affair with a woman. Blanchett said Carol's storyline might have been deemed "more political" had it been made a few years ago. "I think the landscape around the conversation around same-sex relationships has advanced in a lot of countries. "The universality of the love story comes to the fore, rather than any sort of political agenda." Blanchett said the film, directed by Todd Haynes, focused on the "timeless nature" of falling in love. "There's a sense that people who fall in love in the '50s - because they are wearing girdles - don't feel the same things that we feel." She said falling in love felt like something that "no-one else has experienced". "It's dangerous, you're out of control. It's akin to panic and fear. Your heart literally beats faster. "That doesn't change whether you are wearing a corset or a G-string." Mae Mr Thomas yn olynu Phil Bale sydd wedi bod yn arweinydd ar gyngor mwyaf Cymru ers 2014.

They had already been held up in Atlanta, USA, because of a problem with the payment for their flight. "The players were uncomfortable with the size of the plane," team media officer Timi Ebikagboro told BBC Sport. He said they would leave on a bigger plane and arrive in time for kick-off against Japan (01:00 GMT Friday). "The [Nigerian] government stepped in," he added. "The players have been assured of adequate medical care on the plane. It's been challenging but most importantly we will be ready for the first game." Their flight is set to depart at 1200GMT for the seven-hour flight to Manaus, where their Group B opener kicks off just 13 hours later. The squad had originally been stranded in Atlanta because of a problem that seemed to be caused by money having to go through different bank accounts and currency conversions. "The money paid by the [sports] ministry for the charter flight did not hit airline's account on Tuesday so they refused to fly the team to Brazil," a source close to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said. "It is a cumbersome exercise but they should have started the process much earlier, which NFF was pointing out. This issue has nothing to do with the NFF," the source explained to BBC Sport. One of the players explained to the BBC on Wednesday: "We've been told to get ready to fly out in few hours but that's been the story since last week." Nigeria, who are in Group B of the Rio Games alongside Sweden, Colombia and Japan, boast a proud Olympic record. In 1996, they became the first African and non-European or South American team to win the gold medal. They also finished runners-up at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where current under-23 coach Siasia also coached the 'Dream Team' in China. The poll asked 1,479 people aged 14-24 to score popular apps on issues such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, bullying and body image. Keeping Instagram a safe and supportive place for young people was a top priority, the company said. Mental health charities urged companies to act to increase users' safety. The Royal Society for Public Health study says social platforms should flag up heavy social media use and identify users with mental health issues. Instagram says it provides tools and information on how to cope with bullying and warns users before they view certain content. The RSPH report says that "social media may be fuelling a mental health crisis" in young people. However, it can also be used as a tool for good, the report said. Instagram, for example, was found to have a positive effect on self-expression and self-identity. About 90% of young people use social media - more than any other age group - so they are particularly vulnerable to its effects, although it is not clear what these are on current evidence. Isla is in her early 20s. She got hooked on social media as a teenager when going through a difficult time in her life. "The online communities made me feel included and that I was worthwhile. "However, I soon began to neglect 'real life' friendships and constantly spent all my time online talking to my friends there. "I fell into a deep depressive episode aged 16, which lasted for months and was utterly horrible. "During this time social media made me feel worse, as I would constantly compare myself to other people and make myself feel bad. "When I was 19, I had another bad depressive episode. I'd go on social media, see all my friends doing things and hate myself for not being able to do them, or feel bad that I wasn't as good a person as them." Social media has also been a positive in Isla's life. "I have blogged a lot about mental health and I'm quite open about it and have good conversations with people about it. "I find it gives me a platform to talk and talking with people is something I find imperative to my own health. "The online friends I made five or six years ago I'm still friends with to this day and have met many of them in person." The online survey asked participants a series of questions about whether YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter had an impact on their health and well-being. Participants were asked to score each platform on 14 health and well-being issues. Based on these ratings, YouTube was considered to have the most positive impact on mental health, followed by Twitter and then Facebook. Snapchat and Instagram were given the lowest scores overall, h Shirley Cramer, chief executive of the RSPH, said: "It is interesting to see Instagram and Snapchat ranking as the worst for mental health and well-being - both platforms are very image-focused and it appears they may be driving feelings of inadequacy and anxiety in young people." In light of the findings, public health experts are calling for social media platforms to introduce a series of checks and measures to help tackle mental health, including: The report also recommends that NHS England comes up with a vetting scheme for health and well-being information so young people are better able to judge whether information is trustworthy. Ms Cramer added: "As the evidence grows that there may be potential harms from heavy use of social media, and as we upgrade the status of mental health within society, it is important that we have checks and balances in place to make social media less of a 'wild West' when it comes to young people's mental health and well-being." Tom Madders, from mental health charity YoungMinds, said the recommendations could help many young people. "Increasing safety within social media platforms is an important step and one we urge Instagram and other sites to act upon. "But it's also important to recognise that simply 'protecting' young people from particular content types can never be the whole solution." He said young people needed to understand the risks of how they behaved online and should be taught how to respond to "harmful content that slips through filters". Michelle Napchan, Instgram head of policy at EMEA, said: "Keeping Instagram a safe and supportive place, where people feel comfortable expressing themselves, is our top priority - particularly when it comes to young people. "Every day people from all over the world use Instagram to share their own mental health journey and get support from the community. For those struggling with mental health issues, we want them to be able to access support on Instagram when and where they need it. "That's why we work in partnership with experts to give people the tools and information they need while using the app, including how to report content, get support for a friend they are worried about or directly contact an expert to ask for advice on an issue they may be struggling with." Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Monkstown forward Nikki Evans and UCD midfielder Gillian Pinder scored the goals which secured Wednesday's vital victory in Johannesburg, Ireland play Olympic champions England in their final pool fixture on Sunday. Victory in the quarter-finals would see the Irish seal a berth in the World Cup finals to be held in London. Ireland dominated the game against Poland but struggled to convert their pressure into goals. It took a piece of individual skill from Evans to hold off two Polish defenders before neatly finishing on the reverse stick to open the scoring in the first quarter. Ireland extended their lead in the third quarter when a loose ball in the circle was picked up by Pinder who fired an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the Polish net. Ireland will not know who their opponents in Tuesday's quarter-finals will be until the Pool stages are completed, but a win in that game would clinch a place in the World Cup finals for the first time since 2002 as well as a place in the World League final to be held in Auckland in November. Should Ireland lose their last eight tie, they will play-off for fifth to eighth place with the country taking fifth also booking a place in the World Cup finals. Owen arrived from London by train on 26 June 1917. He had been sent to be treated for shellshock at Craiglockhart War Hospital. It is there he met anti-war poet Siegfried Sassoon, who would have a big influence on his work. Peter Owen, nephew of Wilfred Owen and ambassador of the Wilfred Owen Association, said: "Wilfred Owen's poetry has influenced poets of all times and ages. "This legacy was only made possible through a meeting of minds with Siegfried Sassoon at Craiglockhart. "If Wilfred has an afterlife, no aspect would have pleased him more than the way his words have been used and modified by poets that came after him. "Both Auden and Spender were influenced by Wilfred. Edmond Blunden wrote of him and his poems." He added: "A poet's poet Wilfred said of himself but would have never dreamed of his ever-growing legacy. This all began here in Edinburgh, at Craiglockhart, now Edinburgh Napier University. "Oh, how Wilfred would appreciate and be very grateful and pleased by the honour of being welcomed here. All those involved who have spent so much time planning this extended commemoration need to be thanked many, many times." It was at Craiglockhart, now part of Edinburgh Napier's Craiglockhart campus, that Owen wrote two of his most-revered poems - Dulce Et Decorum Est and Anthem For Doomed Youth. The re-enactment event took place at Waverley Station and along Princes Street earlier as a programme of events to commemorate the centenary continued. Arriving at platform seven on the Caledonian Sleeper, the event saw Owen, played by historian and teacher David Clarke, welcomed to the city by the Rt Hon Lord Provost and Lord Lieutenant of the City of Edinburgh Frank Ross and Norman Drummond, chairman of the Scottish government's World War One Commemoration panel. The party were with Owen's nephew, Peter, who made the train journey to be part of the centenary commemorations. Owen's initial journey along Princes Street was replicated with the sound of pipers accompanying the group along Edinburgh's main thoroughfare. They gathered outside the Caledonian Hotel - a location where Owen regularly met "the great and good" of the city during his time there. Neil McLennan, event organiser and chairman of Wilfred Owen's Edinburgh 1917-2017, said: "Edinburgh was the centre of Owen's enlightenment and where he crafted some of the most powerful poetry of the war. "It is pleasing to see so many come together to commemorate this vital part of Edinburgh's literary history." On Monday night, the Craiglockhart campus will host a special public lecture with Scottish military historian Prof Sir Hew Strachan. Police said all the affected livestock had neck and leg injuries and were thought to have been attacked at the weekend. Officers said the incident happened on land off Groes Road, Colwyn Bay, Conwy county. North Wales Police said the dogs responsible for the attack had not yet been traced. In June, the force's rural crime unit said 1,500 sheep had been lost to dogs in the past two years, with "weekly or even daily" attacks. Officers said they believed the material found in the vehicle was herbal cannabis. A 23-year-old man has been arrested. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal. The man detained by police is expected to appear at Dumfries Sheriff Court on Monday. Northampton had the better of a scrappy first half in which both defences were on top and chances were few and far between. Aaron Phillips tested Simon Eastwood with a long-range shot and Marc Richards headed onto the roof of the net for the Cobblers. Matt Taylor also had a free-kick deflected over, and from his ensuing corner, the unmarked Zander Diamond headed off target. Michael Smith headed wide for the hosts before Oxford began to offer more of a threat in the final third, with Conor McAleny curling an effort wide and Antonio Martinez firing a shot over the bar. After the restart Liam Sercombe fired wide for Oxford before Northampton missed a glorious opportunity to break the deadlock when they were awarded a penalty, only for Taylor's spot-kick to be superbly saved by Eastwood. Northampton still sensed the breakthrough, but Richards fired into the side-netting and Paul Anderson failed to convert from Phillips' excellent cross.

Councillor Bill Darwin, who represents Kinmel Bay, said the new arrangement was a "potential health time-bomb". Conwy council said it is half way through the trial period and there is no evidence of an increase in vermin. Mr Darwin said there had been an increase in fly-tipping in the Towyn and Kinmel Bay areas as people struggle to fit four weeks' worth of waste into one wheelie bin. "It's not too bad if there's just one couple living in a house but it's a big problem for families," he said. "People are resorting to taking household rubbish, including dog excrement and cat litter, to public litter bins and this is causing an increase in rats and seagulls. "The smell is terrible and it's only going to get worse as the warmer weather comes." More than 10,000 Conwy residents are taking part in the trial, while the council has brought in three-weekly bin collections for the rest of the county. Clwyd West AM Darren Millar said complaints had "increased dramatically" since it had started. "The situation is totally unacceptable and unless these changes are scrapped, it will have a detrimental impact on our tourism industry and local wildlife," he said. The council's recycling and waste policy states that properties with fewer than six residents are restricted to one wheelie bin for household waste and that overflowing or open bins will not be collected. There are weekly collections for recycling and food waste. Mr Darwin is asking for more feedback from local residents as he writes a report to present to the council. A council spokeswoman said there was "no evidence of an increase in vermin" and that "the vast majority of residents are disposing of their food waste correctly in their food waste bin". She added the four-weekly trial was introduced after the council found half of rubbish thrown away to landfill could have been recycled, wasting £1.6m each year. Since September, the trial has seen residents throw 507 tonnes less into their wheelie bins compared to the same period last year. The blasts on Sunday occurred in Arghandab district, on the outskirts of Kandahar city, a police spokesman said. Five policemen were injured. Nato forces have been battling to take control of Kandahar from the Taliban, whose heartland it is. All the dead were civilians, Arghandab district chief Shah Mohammad told the AFP news agency. Twelve civilians were also injured, AFP reported, quoting Afghan interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary in Kabul. No group has yet said it carried out the attack, but the Taliban regularly target large public gatherings. Dog-fighting competitions, which were banned under the Taliban regime, are a popular pastime in Afghanistan. In February 2008, at least 65 people were killed by a suicide bomb at a dog fight in Kandahar. On Saturday, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a buzkashi match in northern Afghanistan, killing at least three people. Buzkashi is a precursor of the modern game of polo, played with the body of a headless goat which is filled with sand. Harvey Stocks, 20, from Darlington, County Durham, pled guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to throwing the sandbag into Merchant Street on 13 March to the potential danger of pedestrians. The incident was caught on CCTV at 03:25. On the night he threw the sandbag, he had been out drinking with a group of friends. Defence solicitor, Nigel Bruce, said his client was about to start his third year studying computer science at Edinburgh University. Mr Bruce said Stocks' family were in court and said Stocks was "not really a drinker". His client, he said, accepted he had acted in a reckless manner and it was a serious matter. The solicitor said Stocks had been told by one of the group that there was no-one in the street. Sheriff Kenneth McGowan told Stocks: "I know this area. There a number of doorways and someone could just have walked out and you could have killed them. "That would have been a tragedy for that person and for you. It was reckless and crass stupidity. You had a lucky escape". Stocks was allowed to pay the fine at £30 a month. In a previous incident on George IV Bridge in 2006, Kate Flannery, 24, from Galway, sustained spinal injuries when a traffic cone was thrown from the bridge. The women with atrial fibrillation (AF) were almost twice as likely to have fatal heart disease and strokes. Women may respond less well to AF drugs or are being diagnosed later than men. "One possibility is that women with AF are undertreated relative to men," Connor Emdin and colleagues, at the University of Oxford, told the BMJ. In the meantime, experts say doctors should be aware of the findings in case more can be done to avert avoidable deaths. About a million people in the UK have AF. You can check if you might have it by feeling your pulse for about 30 seconds. An occasional irregularity in pulse, such as a missed beat or extra beats, is common and nothing to worry about. But if your pulse is continuously irregular with no pattern, you should see your doctor. It may also be very fast, more than 100 beats per minute even when resting, leading to dizziness and shortness of breath. Medicines can control AF and reduce the risk of a stroke (a clot or bleed in the brain). In patients with AF, the heart's upper chambers - the atria - contract randomly and sometimes so fast the heart muscle cannot relax properly between contractions, reducing its efficiency. June Davison, from the British Heart Foundation, said AF was under-diagnosed in both men and women. "It is important that healthcare services for the prevention and treatment of AF take into account the different effects of gender on the condition," she said. "More research is needed to find out more about the underlying causes of these differences." Stewart Greene, 65, of Grimoldby, Lincolnshire, said he drowned Alex Robinson in a bath but denies murder. Alex was in Mr Greene's care at his home while his mother - the defendant's daughter was out - last December. Mr Greene, who took the witness stand for the first time at Lincoln Crown Court, also apologised to his family. Timothy Spencer QC, defending, asked Mr Greene whether he had drowned his grandson, to which he replied "I drowned him in the bath, yes." He also told the court he had had a "burning sensation" in his head on the day he killed Alex. He later apologised to his daughter, saying: "I'm so sorry Joanne." Mr Spencer asked him if he had been hearing voices, to which he said: "no, there were no voices, I've lived in a dream world all my life." It was put to Mr Greene "the prosecution say you are not mentally ill at all", to which he replied: "the prosecution are right". The court had previously been told Mr Greene had suffered from depression and had been discharged from a Lincoln-based psychiatric unit. Prosecutor Michael Evans QC put it to Mr Greene he told a psychiatrist, in October, that "you killed your grandson as you were angry with your daughter that she would not let you live with her". "Is that why you killed him?" said Mr Evans. "Yes," Mr Greene replied. He told the jury Alex had done nothing wrong and he himself had been guilty of being selfish all his life. The court also heard how he had thought about killing Alex the evening before the boy drowned. The trial continues. The House of Keys seats will be contested in two constituencies within the capital of the island on 21 May. Bill Henderson and David Cretney, who represented Douglas North and Douglas South respectively, were elected to the Legislative Council last month. Nomination day - when candidates confirm their intention to stand - will be on 21 April. The Legislative Council is the upper branch of Tynwald and has 11 members. Four seats became vacant last month. They did so when the terms of office expired for Phil Braidwood, Dudley Butt, Alex Downie and Alan Crowe. The Legislative Council primarily acts as a revising chamber for bills, whereas the House of Keys is the directly elected lower branch of Tynwald. Michael Forney and Steve Saviano netted first-period goals to put the hosts in control against the Scots. James Desmarais, Chris Higgins and Jonathan Boxill added to the tally in the second period. Desmarais completed the rout while the Devils stayed top with a 7-5 victory over Coventry Blaze. Belfast completed a double after Friday's 5-4 win over Notthingham Panthers. Desmarais is a man in form with his two goals against Dundee coming 24 hours after he hit a treble in the narrow victory over the Panthers. The Giants are back in action next weekend with an away double-header against Sheffield Steelers. Basharat Hussain, one of seven defendants, had "somebody in CID", a witness told Sheffield Crown Court. The woman said he had paid for information about a safe house and for details of "when he was going to get busted". Mr Hussain, 39, denies 16 offences linked to child abuse in Rotherham. The court heard the woman began a relationship with Mr Hussain, who she referred to as 'Bash', in 2000 when she was 15. He had been violent towards her on a number of occasions, she said, and had made a series of death threats. When she was 16, she told the court, a panic alarm was fitted at her home after Mr Hussain had broken in. At one stage, she said, there had been discussions about moving her to a safe house and changing her identity, but Mr Hussain found out what had been said. "Bash actually phoned me and told me this is what were happening and he actually told me where I were going," she said. "He said that he had always got somebody in CID to tell him these sorts of things and he used to pay this person in CID money and this person would say what's happening with me and he'd also tell him when he was going to get busted." Arshid Hussain, 40, High Street, East Cowick, Goole, faces 30 charges, including five counts of rape. Qurban Ali, 53, Clough Road, Rotherham, faces four charges, including rape and conspiracy to rape. Majid Bostan, 37, Ledsham Road, Rotherham faces one charge of indecent assault. Sajid Bostan, 38, Broom Avenue, Rotherham faces seven charges, including four counts of rape,. Basharat Hussain, 39, of no fixed abode, faces 16 charges including two counts of rape. Karen MacGregor, 58, Barnsley Road, Wath, South Yorkshire, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape. Shelley Davies, 40, Wainwright Road, Kimberworth Park, Rotherham, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape. After a time, she said, the violence became "normal" and she had "learned to live with it". She told the court she had changed to such an extent after meeting Mr Hussain that her family called her "Bash's creation". The trial continues. Kite Power Systems (KPS) has gained backing for its project at West Freugh near Stranraer from E.ON, Schlumberger and Shell Technology Ventures (STV). Paul Jones of the company said it was an "endorsement" of its research and development work on the technology. A demonstration system will be put in place next year with further systems planned in years to come. The technology uses two kites tethered to spool drums and as they fly they turn the drums to produce electricity. A full-sized kite could generate two to three megawatts of electricity, which KPS said was comparable to a 100m conventional wind turbine. The company has said it could eventually employ up to 500 people by 2025. Mr Jones said: "The backing of these companies will accelerate KPS's commercial development plans towards deploying lower cost, deep-water offshore wind energy on a global scale." KPS was established in 2011 and to date has invested more than £3m in technology development. Geert van de Wouw, managing director of STV, said he had been convinced over time of the value of the KPS technology. "It is an interesting contribution to renewable energy generation and a good fit to explore through Shell's New Energies business," he said. E.ON senior vice president Frank Meyer said: "The approach of KPS has the potential to become a game changer for the wind energy market. "It supports one of our overall targets to drive down the costs for renewable energy. "In addition to this, we catch the opportunity to be a first mover in producing renewable energy at locations where it is, for economic and technical reasons, not possible today." Oil and gas services company Schlumberger made its investment as it believes the technology could be used on offshore oil platforms, remote onshore drilling operations and decommissioned offshore wind turbine towers. Commenting on the news, WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "We hope the investment enables this emerging renewable technology to achieve its aim of developing a commercial-scale project. "Kite power technology offers the prospect of an exciting new way to harness the power of the wind, particularly in places where it might be impractical to erect a wind turbine." Yorkshire slumped to 85-4, as Alex Lees and Adam Lyth both fell for 19 before Andrew Gale was bowled by Keith Barker. Jonny Bairstow, who hit 246 against Hampshire last week, then chopped on off Chris Woakes for 20. But Ballance and Leaning's unbroken 92-run fifth-wicket stand steadied the innings as Yorkshire closed on 177-4. The visitors' top order failed to fire once more, having collapsed in both innings in their first match of the season against Hampshire, as they went from 46-0 to 56-3. Rikki Clarke bowled Lees, and Lyth was caught in the slips off Boyd Rankin as the openers struggled with Warwickshire's seamers. Despite their innings being interrupted by rain and bad light, England hopeful Ballance, and Leaning, both hit seven fours to reach the close of play on 50 not out each, and leave Yorkshire in a healthier position. Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes: "It was a pretty good day for us but, having had them 80-odd for four we'd have liked them five or six down by this point. But they won the toss and batted on a pretty good pitch so we can't really moan. "Credit to Gary Ballance and Jack Leaning for the way they batted. They got stuck in. We bowled well and put the ball in the right areas but they responded and sometimes you just have to give credit where it's due. "I feel fine. Last week I fell at the Ageas Bowl and aggravated something in the back of my knee but I had an injection in it and it has settled down nicely. I felt in good rhythm, hit the pitch pretty hard and was pleased with the way it came out." Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie: "Gary Ballance played really well. He stuck to his zones and how he plays and absorbed some very good bowling. He is a fine player. "Personally, I didn't agree with England's decision to leave him out last year but his reaction to that has been outstanding. He has knuckled down for Yorkshire. "Joe Root will come back into the side next week so it will be an interesting selection decision we have to make, but we are not worrying about that at the moment." Liberal Democrat Sarah Olney ousted ex-Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith after campaigning on the issue of Brexit. Welsh Lib Dem leader Mark Williams said voters were saying they did not want a so called "hard Brexit". The Conservatives have said the result "doesn't change anything" and ministers remain committed to leaving the EU. Mr Goldsmith resigned his seat and stood as an independent in the southwest London constituency after the government backed a third Heathrow runway. Celebrating overturning a 23,015 Tory majority, Mr Williams said Welsh Liberal Democrats were "proud" to have worked hard on the campaign. "This win is not just about Richmond Park, but it is an important statement from the electorate that the government cannot continue to take us down the road to a hard Brexit, which would see us far poorer outside of the single market," he said. "That would be bad for people in Richmond Park, and it would be disastrous for people in Wales, whether in towns and cities, or in small rural communities." He added: "Sarah's victory must be a wake up call for both the government and politicians of all parties." The Conservative Party said in a statement: "This result doesn't change anything. "The government remains committed to leaving the European Union and triggering Article 50 by the end of March next year. "In addition, we will continue to take decisive action in the national interest to secure the UK's place in the world." Hanne Gaby Odiele, 29, was born with undescended testicles, which were removed when she was 10 after doctors warned that they could cause cancer. Intersex people are born with a mixture of male and female sex characteristics. According to the United Nations, the condition affects up to 1.7% of the world's population. Ms Odiele, originally from Belgium, was born with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). "It is very important to me in my life right now to break the taboo," she told USA Today in an interview. "At this point, in this day and age, it should be perfectly all right to talk about this." At 10, Ms Odiele had surgery to remove her testes. "I knew at one point after the surgery I could not have kids, I was not having my period. I knew something was wrong with me," she said. She had additional surgery at 18 to reconstruct her vagina. But she said the procedures caused her distress and she wanted to speak out in part to discourage other parents from putting their children through perhaps unnecessary surgery. "It's not that big of a deal being intersex," she said. "If they were just honest from the beginning... It became a trauma because of what they did." Ms Odiele's husband, John Swiatek, also a model, told USA Today he was "incredibly proud" of his wife for speaking out. "I am very impressed with her decision to advocate for intersex children in order to give them an opportunity to make up their own minds about their bodies, unlike the lack of options and information Hanne and her family (and many others) were given," he said. Her decision to go public about her condition and become a "spokesperson and advocate for the intersex community" has been praised by the fashion magazine Vogue as "an act of enormous courage". "Odiele is exploring uncharted territory," it commented, "[as] it is impossible to identify even one well-known person in any field who is openly intersex."

PPI expert Cliff D'Arcy told the BBC Lloyds had saved more than £60m over the past year by cutting compensation. Lloyds refused to be interviewed on the issue. It was offering the correct level of compensation in line with regulatory guidance, a statement said. Lloyds cites a little-known regulatory provision called "alternative redress". Alternative redress - also known as comparative redress - allows a bank, in specified circumstances, to assume that customers to whom it wrongly sold single-premium PPI policies would have bought a cheaper, regular premium PPI policy instead. In such cases, a bank is entitled to deduct the cost of the regular premium policy from the full compensation they would otherwise have had to pay. For claimants, this deduction can make a large difference to the compensation Lloyds offers. Mr D'Arcy, who previously worked at HBOS's PPI operation, told BBC Radio 4: "Frankly I'm amazed that this problem has existed throughout the last year and hasn't emerged into the light." Care worker Veronica Rayner had two loans from Halifax, now part of Lloyds Banking Group. Mrs Rayner told the BBC that when she had taken out her loans she had been unaware that the bank had sold her PPI policies as well. Payment protection insurance was designed to cover loan repayments if the policyholder became ill, had an accident or lost their job. However, the policies were mis-sold on a huge scale to those who did not want or need it, or would have been unable to make a claim. Her £2,300 compensation offer from Lloyds was set out in a seven-page letter with an additional two-page appendix of calculations. Mrs Rayner said she hadn't realised from the offer letter that the bank had applied alternative redress to her claim. But after her claim was referred to the Financial Ombudsman, Lloyds was told to pay her an additional £1,200 of compensation - over 50% more than it had originally offered. "I don't think it's very fair. I think they should just offer people the right amounts and get it done. It's cheating people in a way," Mrs Rayner said. Lloyds told the BBC 11% of offers it made in the fourth quarter of 2013 on loan complaints were made by applying alternative redress. Analysis of a large survey of PPI offers undertaken by the PFCA, a trade body representing claims management companies, suggests in some months more than 25% of Lloyds's offers were made by applying alternative redress. But Lloyds told the BBC only 5% of offers made last year were made in this way. Mr D'Arcy told the BBC such use of alternative redress was unjustifiable. He said such reductions could legitimately be applied in fewer than 1% of PPI cases. "A taxpayer sponsored bank is depriving taxpayers of their rightful compensation by using a loophole. It's a scandal coming out of a scandal," he said. Claims management companies have told the BBC they have routinely been challenging alternative redress offers from Lloyds by referring them to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Martin Baker, of Swindon-based company Renaissance Easy Claim, said the ombudsman had so far ruled on more than 100 of his clients' cases. "In every single case our challenge has been upheld, and clients will now be entitled to full redress," Mr Baker told the BBC. Mr D'Arcy is unsurprised that so many offers are being overturned by the ombudsman. But he warned that, since nine out of 10 PPI compensation offers were not referred to the ombudsman, most of Lloyds' alternative redress offers were likely to go uncontested. As a result, Mr D'Arcy told the BBC, "Lloyds is making substantial savings of millions of pounds a month, and customers are being short-changed". Lloyds Banking Group has refused to say how many alternative redress offers were made in total last year or by how much offers were reduced as a result. But in a statement it said: "The numbers that have been provided to the BBC by the claims management companies are incorrect and deeply misleading. Since we started making comparative redress offers last year, that equates to 5% of the total number of complaints that we have dealt with. For these, we have used a formula agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority. The overturn rate for loans claims is the same whether it is for comparative redress or for other reasons."

Lloyds Banking Group has been cutting the compensation it pays to payment protection insurance (PPI) claimants, a BBC investigation has revealed.

The hosts were 28-6 up at half-time as forward Oliver Roberts twice went over.

Huddersfield Giants ran in 11 tries in an easy win over Featherstone Rovers to bounce back from their opening defeat in The Qualifiers at Salford.

Enniskillen-born Lafferty, 28, has had less than an hour's first-team action for the Canaries this season, having made just three substitute appearances. He has played more times for his country than his club this campaign. He has won four caps and scored in two successive games in September to help his side make it to Euro 2016. The widely travelled striker started his career at Burnley, going out on loan to Darlington before joining Rangers for £3m in June 2008. Since then, he has had moves to Swiss side FC Sion, Palermo in Sicily and on to Norwich in June 2014. He was loaned out by the Canaries this time last season to Turkish side Rizespor, but a move by Leeds United to get him in January ultimately fell though. This deal comes with a recall option for Norwich after 28 days. Blues, who have scored just four goals in the last nine games, now stand ninth in the Championship, six points off the play-offs, although with a game in hand. "The acquisition of Lafferty is interesting on two fronts. First, it suggests a further loosening of the financial ties that have bound Birmingham City in recent seasons - an experienced international striker does not come cheap. "It also indicates an end on the over-reliance on striker Clayton Donaldson. He has been an indisputable starter under Gary Rowett over the last two seasons, one of the first names in the team sheet. "But Lafferty desperately needs football ahead of Euro 2016 with Northern Ireland, and will surely have to be given opportunities at St Andrew's. "Will this mean a rest for Donaldson, or will Rowett go against the grain and field two strikers? "Either way it is an ambitious move at a time when the club are in danger of slipping out of play-off contention." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Birmingham City have signed Norwich City's Northern Ireland international striker Kyle Lafferty on loan until the end of the season.

It will link the A67 to the proposed Southside Business Park. Owners Peel Airports expects the site to generate £11m a year for the local economy and create 3,000 jobs. Opponents argue the road is a step towards turning the airport into housing and industrial estates. Permission was granted by Stockton and Darlington councils. A Peel statement said: "The reality is that all smaller airports such as Durham Tees Valley need to find new ways of generating income. If they do not they will not survive." It went on to say claims the firm is looking to close the airport are "nonsense and potentially very damaging". Steve Gill, managing director of the airport, described approval for the link road as "a very significant and welcome step forward" in opening up the potential of Southside. Peel's "master plan" includes building 400 homes in the area and Councillor Ian Dalgarno, the mayor of Stockton, fears the development will have a detrimental impact. He said: "The airport is essential to the development of Tees Valley and it will be difficult to attract investment without it." He added that it would be a "sad loss to Teesside" if it closed. A Save Teesside Airport Facebook page has 6,000 supporters and organiser Suzanne Foster said: "The bigger picture is to build houses and run the airport down and down." An internal prison report seen by the BBC says the the inmate ran down a landing with the keys at HMP Wayland. "As he was being restrained another prisoner attempted to grab another officer's keys," the report adds. A Prison Service spokesman said both men had been transferred to a higher security jail. They also face additional time added to their sentences. Both men were "quickly apprehended" during the incident on A wing at about 09:00 BST on 27 May, the report states. Wayland, near Watton in Norfok, is a Category C men's prison with just over 1,000 inmates. John Buckley spoke at the High Court in Glasgow after Alexander Pacteau, 21, admitted bludgeoning and strangling his 24-year-old daughter in April. He said she had been "randomly targeted and murdered by a cowardly vicious criminal". Mr Buckley said Pacteau was "evil" and should spend his life in jail. Surrounded by his wife Marian and three sons, Mr Buckley said it was "incredibly difficult" coming back to the city where his daughter "was brutally murdered". He said he and his wife had experienced "every parent's worst nightmare". It emerged in court that Pacteau had met Karen outside a Glasgow nightclub, walked her to his car and driven a short distance before hitting her with a spanner and strangling her. He then disposed of her body in a barrel which he hid on a farm and bought cleaning products in a bid to cover his tracks. Mr Buckley said: "All Karen was doing was making her way home when she was randomly targeted and murdered by a cowardly vicious criminal. "No words of ours can do justice to our feelings towards him. He is truly evil and we hope that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars." Mr Buckley said the last face his daughter saw was that of a "cold blooded cowardly murderer". "Our hearts are broken at the thought of Karen's final moments on this world," he said. "The thought of her being alone, frightened and struggling for her life haunts us. "The panic and fear she experienced as she fought for her very survival but she had no chance against that coward." Mr Buckley said that only "the swift action of the police and the people of Glasgow" had enabled Karen to be found and made it possible for her the family to "bring her home and give her a dignified burial". He added: "It's too late now for Karen but in the future we hope Glasgow will be a safer place for women to walk in, which is their right and to not have this evil murderer to fear." Following the hearing, Det Supt Jim Kerr, who oversaw the inquiry, said Pacteau's lies unravelled through a combination of information from the community, investigative work and forensic techniques. "Members of the public played a vital role in helping us unlock the circumstances of her disappearance and that led us to Alexander Pacteau," he said. Det Supt Kerr said witnesses helped establish that Pacteau had lied. He added: "A significant amount of forensic investigation also helped to establish what really happened to Karen. "The sheer weight of evidence we were able to gather has, I believe, led to today's guilty plea. As a result, Karen's family have been spared the further distress of a trial." Mike Dooley, 41, owes his life to the volunteer crew after he got into difficulty while fishing off Porthcawl, Bridgend, in December 2015. The grateful angler is now urging people in Wales to support the charity's national fundraising event, the Mayday campaign. Last year, the RNLI rescued 1,029 people across Wales. Mr Dooley, a musician and music teacher from Caerphilly, remembers noticing the rough sea conditions that day but felt safe to go ahead as other fishermen were close by on Porthcawl's harbour wall. Just 20 minutes later he was hit by an enormous wave. "I saw it coming over and before I had time to react I was knocked flat on the ground," he said. "My hands were out and I was being dragged across the concrete of the pier and then suddenly I felt nothing beneath me and I just dropped over the edge. "I was only in the water for a few minutes but already the pier looked small and a long way away. "It was terrifying and I was starting to wonder if I could survive this. I was trying not to take on any water but I could feel it in my lungs." The alarm was raised by onlookers and Porthcawl's Atlantic 85 lifeboat volunteer crew located him a quarter of a mile out to sea. RNLI volunteer Simon Emms said: "When we reached Mike, he was in a pretty precarious situation, the sea was terribly cold and he was unable to stay afloat for much longer." Mr Dooley was taken to hospital but made a full recovery and was well enough to play a gig with his string quartet only days later. He has urged the public to support the charity's campaign, which runs from Tuesday 26 April to 2 May. "When I heard about the RNLI's Mayday campaign I wanted to do what we could to help and raise awareness of the amazing job these volunteers do," he said. "I will be eternally thankful to them." On Tuesday, Mr Dooley returned to the Porthcawl lifeboat station to personally thank the volunteer crew that saved him. It came as RNLI lifeguards announced they will be on duty in Porthcawl for the first time this May Day Bank Holiday weekend when their service begins on two of the town's busiest beaches - Trecco Bay and Coney Beach. They will be offering safety advice and assistance to beach-goers. Rovers claimed the points for a first away win in nine league games despite Grant Hanley's red card after nearly an hour for a second bookable offence. Substitute Tony Watt teed up Duffy who fired into the roof of the net with only four minutes remaining. Defeat for the Bees was their 10th in 13 games, and leaves them just six points off the bottom three in 18th. Media playback is not supported on this device Hanley's dismissal looked set to leave Blackburn still searching for an overdue win after he was booked for fouling Everton loanee Leandro Rodriguez in the first half and then shown a second yellow card for deliberately handling an Alan Judge cross in the 57th minute. Brentford - on manager Dean Smith's birthday - failed to capitalise, though, as Alan McCormack sliced an effort wide and Yoann Barbet tested Jason Steele from a free-kick. Judge saw an injury-time effort tipped wide by goalkeeper Steele after Duffy had broken the deadlock, before centre-back Harlee Dean headed wide in the closing seconds. Rovers eased any fears of being dragged into the relegation dogfight as they moved up to 14th, three points above the Bees. Brentford head coach Dean Smith: "I didn't think there was much in the game so to lose it like that so late on is hard to take. "I wanted us to be hard to beat today and I thought we were for the most part. We didn't work the keeper enough and our decision making wasn't quite right when it mattered. "We haven't got the number of wins we think we would have done (since January) but to blame the current situation on our transfer policy is wrong because we can't and won't overstretch ourselves. "Blackburn are a big, strong and experienced side and in a different league budget-wise to us." Blackburn boss Paul Lambert: "We are playing really well at the minute and should have more points on the board. "I thought we deserved the win and looked pretty comfortable in the game. To cap it off late on with a world-class goal like that was fantastic. "This is a consolidation season now but it will be a big summer. It is up to the club whether they want to go for it or keep doing this. "I know from recent performances that we are a better side than where we currently sit in the league." Krisztián Gyöngyi was tracking animals in the Akagera National Park when he was killed, African Parks added. It did not give more details, but rhinos usually charge and kill people with their horn. Eastern black rhinos became extinct in Rwanda about a decade ago, and were reintroduced in May. African Parks brought 20 rhinos from South Africa to the Akagera National Park. The death of Mr Gyöngyi, who was from Hungary, was "very tragic" and a "huge loss", African Parks CEO Peter Fearnhead said in a statement. He was a rhino specialist with more than five years' experience, and was instrumental in supporting efforts to reintroduce the black rhino to Rwanda, Mr Fearnhead said. In the 1970s, more than 50 black rhinos lived in the Akagera National Park, but their numbers fell as a result of wide-scale poaching. The last confirmed sighting of the species was in 2007 until African Parks reintroduced them in May after taking steps to improve security at the reserve. Reverend Barry Trayhorn, 51, told an employment tribunal he had read the verses at HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire in 2014. He was told complaints were made by gay prisoners and he alleged he was unfairly dismissed. An employment tribunal rejected his claim in its written decision. He told a hearing in November he "often focused on Christian teachings about sin and repentance". He confirmed the Bible passage in question was 1 Corinthians Chapter 6 Verses 9-11 which includes the lines "neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor coveters, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the Kingdom of God" and he read it on 31 May 2014. Mr Trayhorn, of Sandy, Bedfordshire, said he heard later that a gay prisoner had complained or was upset and there was "some sort of campaign" to remove him from chapel services. "But I fear and do not believe it is right to alter the Christian faith so as to tailor it to any modern view of sexual ethics," he told the hearing. He said he was told he could no longer volunteer at chapel services, complaints were then also made about his gardening work and he was told to attend a disciplinary hearing in a letter which said he had made a "homophobic statement". He was signed off work in August 2014 with stress and resigned in November saying he had been harassed because of his Christian faith and it was impossible for him to return to work. He brought his claim for constructive unfair dismissal against the Secretary of State for Justice.

A man in his 70s, who was a pedestrian, died following a crash involving three vehicles near Ballyhornan village. In Dungannon, Phelim Brady, 69, died following a collision between a tractor and a lorry on the Killybracken Road. On Tuesday evening, man in his 80s died after it is believed he was struck by a tractor at a farm on the Loughnamarve Road, Pomeroy. The Health and Safety Executive are investigating the accident. Police said a 30-year-old man has been arrested for a number of offences in connection with the crash near Ballyhornan. A 19-year-old man believed to have been involved in the accident was taken to a nearby hospital for injuries, that are not believed to be life-threatening. Meanwhile, police said two men, aged 50 and 43, have been arrested in connection with the crash near Dungannon. Police have appealed for witnesses to any of the incidents to contact them. Around 180 migrants flew from Costa Rica to El Salvador and from there made their way to the US Texan border. The migrants spent several months in Costa Rica after neighbouring Nicaragua denied them passage. But on 29 December Central American nations reached an agreement to allow the Cubans to continue their journey. Thousands of Cubans have left the island in recent months, concerned that the re-establishment of relations with Cuba would prompt Washington to drop its policy of giving them automatic residence when they set foot in the US. A representative of a group which helps Cubans arriving in Texas, Cubanos en Libertad, said most of the migrants who had arrived came to join family members already living in the US, many of them in Florida. Many Cuban migrants first go to Ecuador, which until recently they could travel to without a visa. From there they travel to Colombia, into Panama and then Costa Rica, often travelling along people-smuggling routes. Many of them experience great danger. In Mexico, in particular, crime and drug gangs prey ruthlessly on migrants, often kidnapping and holding them for ransom and then killing them if no-one pays up. The current crisis began in November when Nicaragua, a close ally of Cuba, denied access to thousands of migrants arriving from Costa Rica. The move has caused tension between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Simone Blake, 24, from Devizes, was filmed by BBC Panorama being neglected and abused at the Winterbourne View private hospital near Bristol in 2011. The opening of the new unit in Devizes has been delayed due to authorities wrangling over its status. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said it was working to open it by Christmas. After the BBC Panorama programme, the government said people with learning difficulties like Ms Blake should be close to home in community care settings, and not in hospitals. Ms Blake has a place at a new £3m community unit, The Daisy, at Green Lane Hospital near her parents, which was due to open in the summer. She is currently living 200 miles away in hospital in Norfolk, and her parents say they have not seen her in more than four years because they are too frail to travel. Simone's mother, Lorna Blake, said: "She's fed up being in a hospital setting. She says she hates it, she wants to move." Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) which runs The Daisy, and NHS Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (WCCG), which pays for Simone's care, wanted it to be registered as a care home. But Dr Paul Lelliott from the CQC said the commission "cannot accept applications that appear to be re-labelling hospitals as care homes". He added AWP had now withdrawn its application and had agreed to add the new service to its existing registration, and was hoping to open the unit before Christmas. In a joint statement WCCG and AWP said they hoped a new registration "can be defined as quickly as possible". After the acts of abuse at Winterbourne View were uncovered by the BBC six people were jailed, five other workers were given suspended sentences and the home was shut down. Thirteen Slovakian immigrants were found at Iqbal Bros picture frame factory in Rochdale on Monday. The company had "contracts running into millions of pounds" with high street firms, Greater Manchester Police said. Four men were arrested on trafficking and enslavement offences and one man was arrested for immigration offences. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the arrests resulted from intelligence gathered during a separate investigation into a suspected trafficking ring alleged to have almost tricked a pregnant woman into an abortion after a sham marriage. The information led to a police search of a Rochdale property, where they found 10 Eastern European immigrants "living in terrible conditions", with up to four people sleeping in each room. Police then learned the immigrants were being taken to work at the Iqbal Bros factory on Ings Avenue, where they were paid less than £2 per hour for working more than 80 hours per week. The 13 Slovakians found during Monday's raid had been in the UK for periods ranging from a few weeks to six months, and travelled to Rochdale on a bus from Bradford. The youngest alleged victim was 18 while the older ones were in their mid-30s. Det Insp James Faulkner said: "The men and women are promised accommodation and jobs, but are forced to live in cramped, terrible conditions before being taken to work in a factory for more than 12 hours each day. "At the end of the week, the factory owners pay them around £125 for their 80 hours, but then take up to £100 away immediately for rent, travel and other expenses." He added it was "a typical example of how modern slavery can work in the UK". The factory workers also told police they received physical and verbal abuse from their employers. The investigation was part of an operation with Rochdale Council, the Home Office and customs. The factory was closed on Tuesday. Hull manager Leonid Slutsky made 11 changes to his side, handing six players their senior debuts against League One side Rovers. The visitors held firm until half-time, but Alfie May opened the scoring with an accurate finish from 15 yards. Tommy Rowe made it 2-0 soon after with a drilled shot, while Ben Whiteman and May also hit the woodwork for Rovers. Hull's injury problems were a hindrance to Slutsky following Championship defeats by Wolves and Queens Park Rangers and his starting line-up had amassed just six starts for the club between them. The young Tigers side fought well until May smashed in his fourth goal in as many games shortly after half-time and Rowe quickly produced a similarly accurate finish. The League One side had much the better of the opportunities and could have won by a wider margin, with Hull mustering just a single attempt on target. Match ends, Doncaster Rovers 2, Hull City 0.

The attack happened in the Preston Road area sometime between 23:00 and midnight on Thursday. The victim was punched and kicked by the three men as he approached the railway bridge, resulting in a broken wrist. The suspects were described as being white and in their 20s. They had a brown staffie-type dog with them. Police have urged anyone with information to contact them. Det Con Ally Urquhart, from Livingston CID, said: "The victim suffered a painful hand injury during this assault and we're in the process of trying to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident. "Anyone who was in the Preston Road area late on Thursday evening and saw anything suspicious is asked to contact police immediately." The Supreme Court ruled last month that there was no legal need for Holyrood to give its consent to the triggering of Article 50. But First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would let MSPs have a say, despite it being largely symbolic. Ms Sturgeon predicted the vote would be one of the most significant in the Scottish Parliament since devolution. The SNP tried to block the UK government's Brexit bill last week. Only one of Scotland's 59 MPs - Scottish Secretary David Mundell - supported the bill, but it ultimately passed its first parliamentary hurdle by 498 votes to 114. The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill returned to the Commons on Monday, when MPs began detailed scrutiny of the legislation. MSPs voted to back a Scottish government motion in the Scottish Parliament stating that the bill should not proceed. The SNP, Greens, Liberal Democrats and most Labour MSPs supported the motion, with three Labour MSPs - Neil Findlay, Elaine Smith and Richard Leonard - defying the party whip and opposing it alongside the Conservatives. The motion, lodged by Brexit minister Michael Russell, said the UK government had failed to properly consult the devolved administrations on an agreed UK position on Brexit. It also said the government had refused to give a guarantee on the position of EU nationals in the UK, and had failed to answer a range of questions regarding the full implications of withdrawal from the single market. A Green amendment, stating that the decision to proceed with the Brexit bill does not respect the majority vote to remain part of the EU that was returned in every council area in Scotland, was backed by 72 votes to 33 with 18 abstentions. Mr Russell opened what was to become a heated debate by saying Scotland had voted "clearly and decisively" to remain in the EU in last year's referendum. He said the Holyrood vote would allow MSPs to "say to the UK, to Europe and to the world that we oppose the catastrophic hard Brexit now being pursued by the Tories at Westminster." Mr Russell added: "This vote is more than symbolic. It is a key test of whether Scotland's voice is being listened to, and whether our wishes can be accommodated within the UK process." He insisted that the Scottish government had worked "long and hard" to deliver compromise proposals, which he said would have allowed Scotland to stay in the single market even in the rest of the UK leaves. But he said: "So far, the UK government has not offered a single compromise of its own. In fact, it has offered nothing. Neither formal reaction to our proposals, nor formal rejection of them." Mr Russell went on to describe the Holyrood debate as being "about democracy itself", adding: "It's a debate about the sort of country the UK is becoming and the sort of country we in Scotland wish to be. And the contrast between those countries is stark." John Lamont of the Scottish Conservatives claimed the Scottish government's default position was to "try to manufacture a grievance out of nothing". He said: "The Scottish government try to portray the Supreme Court ruling and the UK government's bill to trigger Article 50 as an example of Scotland being ignored. "The truth is actually more simple. It is a matter for Scotland's other parliament to deal with and it is, as a reserved matter, one for Scotland's MPs to scrutinise." He added: "This is how the devolution settlement works, and it is time that the SNP accepted this principle and moved on from grievance politics. "Despite the rhetoric from the Scottish government, the reality is that they are being given plenty of opportunity to engage in the process of the UK leaving the EU." Scottish Labour said it would vote against triggering Article 50 - although three of its MSPs defied that instruction - but tabled an amendment calling on the SNP not to use Brexit as an excuse for a second independence referendum. The move put Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale at odds with UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is facing a revolt by pro-Remain MPs - including the party's only Scottish MP Ian Murray - who are defying his leadership to vote against the Brexit bill at Westminster. Ms Dugdale told the Holyrood debate that Brexit and independence were "two sides of the same coin", adding: "The only thing worse than Brexit for Scottish jobs and the economy would be independence. "Our nation is divided enough. Another referendum would do irreparable damage to the very fabric of communities across Scotland. "But the reality is that the SNP has only been given the excuse to seek another referendum because of the mess the Conservatives have made of this whole process". The Scottish Greens staged a "Scotland says stay" rally outside Holyrood to mark the debate. The party's MSP Ross Greer said the Article 50 bill was "wildly inadequate" and claimed the Scottish government's attempts at compromise had been met by little but "empty rhetoric" from the UK government, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie went on the attack by saying the SNP was obsessed with independence, while the Tories were dividing the country with Brexit and Labour was in "total and utter confusion". A UK government spokesman said Holyrood was free to debate any issue it chooses, and that it would "continue our engagement with the Scottish government and with people and groups across Scotland as we prepare to leave the EU to secure the best deal for Scotland and the UK." Speaking in the Commons on Monday, Prime Minister Theresa May warned MPs not to "obstruct" the will of UK voters by changing the Brexit bill. She said: "The message is clear to all - this House has spoken and now is not the time to obstruct the democratically expressed wishes of the British people. "It is time to get on with leaving the European Union and building an independent, self-governing, global Britain." Northern Irish and Welsh teams featured in the draw for the last 16 of the Scottish Challenge Cup. And Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Doncaster says member clubs should be "open-minded" to playing teams outside their borders. "Over the next few years we're going to see the whole question of cross-border competition coming from Europe," he said. Football League clubs in England are currently considering proposals to introduce a fifth division for the 2019-20 season, and which clubs to invite to the new set-up, including the possibility of involving Celtic and Rangers. Proposals for a cross-border Atlantic League continue to be discussed, while other regional leagues in Europe have also been mooted. In the fourth round of the Challenge Cup, Irish Premiership leaders Crusaders will host Livingston and Linfield visit Queen of the South. Welsh Premier League leaders the New Saints visit Forfar Athletic while Bala Town welcome Alloa Athletic. "There seems to be a willingness from Uefa to see cross-border competition develop," Doncaster explained. "The Irn-Bru [Challenge] Cup and the innovations we've seen this year demonstrate that we're somewhat ahead of that game. "Be in no doubt, cross-border competition is going to feature increasingly on the European football landscape. To have tried it out and had it endorsed by Uefa in a UK-football context is a positive development. "We have to have an open mind about anything that is going to aid the game in Scotland and be of benefit to all 42 member clubs." Any proposals for senior Scottish clubs playing outside the SPFL pyramid would need to be ratified by league clubs and governing bodies and may involve colt teams continuing to play in Scotland's senior leagues. However, former Celtic and Arsenal striker John Hartson believes there would be a financial impact on other Scottish Premiership clubs if Rangers and Celtic played in one or more other countries. He said: "You've got all the politics, do the chairmen and owners of the English league want Celtic and Rangers, does Scotland want to lose them? "Look at the revenue and the finances, the crowds, especially now with Rangers back in the top flight. Teams like Motherwell, Dundee, they're very reliant on Celtic and Rangers, especially with the feel-good factor back now and playing in front of full houses. "If you watch Motherwell most weeks there are 4,500 there, when Celtic go there are 18,000 people there. In terms of what Celtic and Rangers bring to the Scottish leagues, you can't put a price on that. "Scottish football suffered when Rangers were out [of the top flight], so they'll suffer badly if both teams are out." The 26-year-old Munster flanker had to be taken off 14 minutes into the second half of Sunday's 24-9 win over France. Team manager Mick Kearney said O'Mahony was "returning to Dublin for specialist opinion". Skipper Paul O'Connell is to have a scan on a leg injury that could spell the end of his international career. Fly-half Johnny Sexton is awaiting a scan on a groin problem but Ireland's management said initial clinical assessment was "encouraging" and they were hopeful he would be able to play in Sunday's quarter-final against Argentina. The loss of the 35-times capped O'Mahony, and probably O'Connell too, leaves coach Joe Schmidt with problems. Twenty-four-year-old Ruddock - who broke his arm in June - has five caps and would be a like-for-like replacement for O'Mahony at blindside flanker. Ulster's Iain Henderson, used as a second row in the tournament, is a likely replacement for O'Connell, but he could also come into the back row for O'Mahony, with Donnacha Ryan a possible candidate to partner Devin Toner in the Irish engine room. "Paul O'Connell appears to have suffered a significant hamstring injury and was hospitalised overnight. He is having scans to clarify the extent of the injury," added Kearney. "After an incredibly physical encounter, a host of players are reporting bumps and soreness and will have to be managed, but nothing more serious than that. "Only Peter O'Mahony has definitely been ruled out. As soon as we have more clarity on the injury front we will be in a position to make decisions on replacement players." Kearney said Ireland's decision on a replacement for injured centre Jared Payne would be made later on Monday. In 2015, a tentative deal to pay $2.6bn was announced, but New York authorities pushed to increase that amount. Morgan Stanley acknowledged it had misrepresented the quality of the mortgage bonds. The bank said it had previously set aside funds for the settlement. "Today's settlement will deliver resources to the families and communities that need them the most, while helping New Yorkers avoid foreclosure, and spurring the construction of more affordable housing units statewide," said Eric Schneiderman, New York's attorney general. The settlement will be spread across state and federal authorities in the form of fines and consumer relief. New York's Attorney General said $550m of the deal will be allocated to New York. Morgan Stanley's settlement is far less than peers like Bank of America, which paid $16.65bn. This is in part because Morgan Stanley did not issue the original mortgages itself, but instead purchased home loans from other banks and packaged them together to sell as bonds to investors. Morgan Stanley admitted knowing the mortgages were risky, but was cleared of some culpability because it did not issue mortgages to home buyers it suspected would not be able to pay them. This is one of the last deals connected to pre-financial crisis mortgage bond sales that the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force -which originated that charges- is likely to bring. Rimsha Masih, aged 14, was detained in a maximum security prison for several weeks in August 2012, accused of burning pages from the Koran. The case attracted widespread international concern. Although charges against Rimsha were dropped, she and her family were forced into hiding after death threats. Rimsha, who is believed to have learning difficulties, was arrested in a Christian area of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, after a furious crowd demanded she be punished. A local Muslim cleric has since been accused of framing her. The teenager has now settled in Canada with her family, although their exact location has not been made public. A Christian activist in Canada told the BBC that the teenager was learning English and enjoying school. "They feel free," he said. Critics have accused Pakistani courts of using the country's harsh blasphemy laws to target members of minority religions, according to the BBC's Orla Guerin, in Islamabad. There seems little chance of a change in the law, our correspondent adds. At least two prominent Pakistani politicians who had campaigned for a change in law have been killed in recent years. The broadcaster said it hacked emails from John Darwin, who faked his own death in a canoe, and his wife Anne. A spokesman for Sky News said police "absolutely knew" the emails - which it passed to officers working on the Darwin case - were obtained by hacking. Sky News said the action was in the public interest and amounted to "responsible journalism". The second email hacking incident Sky disclosed targeted the accounts of a suspected paedophile and his wife. The broadcaster released a statement which said: "Sky News is committed to the highest editorial standards. "Like other news organisations, we are acutely aware of the tensions that can arise between the law and responsible investigative journalism. "We stand by these actions as editorially justified and in the public interest." By Torin DouglasMedia Correspondent Just days after James Murdoch resigned as chairman of BSkyB, and with Ofcom reviewing whether Sky's a 'fit and proper' owner of a broadcasting licence, this story is embarrassing for the company. Intercepting emails is illegal under the Computer Misuse Act, and there is no public interest defence. But Sky News has strongly defended its action, saying it was editorially justified, and it had never tried to conceal the facts. In a blog, the head of Sky News, John Ryley, said the Crown Prosecution Service had acknowledged there were occasions when it was justified for a journalist to commit an offence in the public interest. He said the Daily Telegraph paid for stolen data to expose the MPs' expenses scandal and the Guardian - which first published this latest news - had admitted hacking a phone in pursuit of a story. The statement went on: "We do not take such decisions lightly or frequently. "They require finely balanced judgement based on individual circumstances and must always be subjected to the proper editorial controls." John Darwin was reported missing in a canoe in the North Sea in March 2002. His wife Anne collected more than £500,000 in life insurance payouts while he hid in their marital home, allowing their two sons to think he was dead. The pair were found guilty of the deception in 2008. In the run-up to the trial former Sky News managing editor Simon Cole agreed North of England correspondent Gerard Tubb could hack into Darwins' Yahoo! email account. A Sky source now has told the BBC that Mr Cole will be leaving the company in the coming weeks. On his Twitter feed , Mr Cole later wrote: "I've been planning for some time to retire from Sky News after 17 years. This is unrelated to the Darwin story. There is no linkage. Fact." Mr Tubb uncovered messages which cast doubt on Mrs Darwin's claim during her criminal trial that her "domineering" husband forced her to go through with the fraud plan. Sky News said it supplied material it had gathered to Cleveland police which was "pivotal" to the court case. A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "Cleveland Police has conducted an initial review into these matters and can confirm that enquiries are ongoing into how the emails were obtained." The Crown Prosecution Service said police inquiries were ongoing. "This remains an investigative matter... but, as with any case, we will provide advice to the police if required," a spokesperson said. It is illegal to hack into emails under the Computer Misuse Act. Tom Watson MP, a vocal critic of Rupert Murdoch journalists during the phone hacking scandal, said of the latest development: "There are many questions that need answering. "The chair of BSkyB needs to say something on this and reassure viewers this has not been going on more widely." He continued: "There are cases where the public is best served with journalists breaking the law. "But it has to be done in extremis and I am not sure whether it was in these two cases. It is too early to know." But Peter Preston, a former editor of The Guardian newspaper, said: "I think it's pretty clear there are [public interest defences for hacking the Darwins' emails]. "I don't see this as a story in the News of the World type at all. "Nobody is saying there was not some real crookery here that the police weren't properly informed of." He added: "It is when you get into the more seedy areas of stories, which don't have any public merit at all, the difficulties start." Sky News is part of BSkyB, which is 39% owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Matt Prodger said: "It's extremely sensitive, because Sky News is a subsidiary of BSkyB, which is currently under investigation by Ofcom to see whether it is fit and proper to continue holding a broadcasting licence. "So it is a real blow to yet another part of the Murdoch empire." The FBI says Apple's lack of co-operation is hindering its investigation. Here's a plain English guide to the debate, and an explanation of what may happen next. Before we begin, let's establish what the FBI isn't asking for: it doesn't want Apple to break the encryption on the device. Why? Because it can't. Apple made the conscious choice in 2014 to remove itself from being able to access encrypted devices, mainly to avoid ethical dilemmas like this. So... Here are the FBI's specific demands, as outlined in court documents. The FBI wants Apple to alter what is known as a SIF - System Information File. In this context, the FBI is basically referring to the software that runs on the device. The FBI wants Apple to create a new SIF to place on Farook's iPhone that will allow it to carry out several functions normal iPhones do not allow. The FBI wants to be able to: As this row goes through the courts, expect that final element to be a key point the FBI makes - it will argue that the SIF will only work on Farook's phone, and will be known only by Apple, who could choose to destroy it. In a letter to customers, Apple boss Tim Cook said he did not want to introduce what is known in IT security as a "back door". Like a literal back door, it's simply a different way in. In this case, a different way to get into the phone other than by using the passcode, i.e. the front door. Back doors are a big deal in security. Hackers make their money from finding them - a back door into a major piece of software or popular device can be highly lucrative. Buyers range from criminals to governments looking to spy or obtain data they otherwise wouldn't be able to reach. Apple says introducing a back door into the iPhone wouldn't just make Farook's phone insecure and accessible to the US government - it would make every iPhone inherently weaker. "You can't have a back door that's only for the good guys," Mr Cook said in an interview in 2015. "Any back door is something that bad guys can exploit." Most experts the BBC has spoken to think it is possible to access Farook's phone without harming the data. And significantly, Apple hasn't denied it's possible either, instead choosing to discuss the merits of why it thinks it shouldn't. An in-depth explanation of how it could be done was posted by security research firm Trail of Bits. By using the same technique that enables "jailbreaking" - the practice of forcibly removing restrictions and security measures within the iPhone's software - you could force new software onto the iPhone, researcher Dan Guido wrote. He said that by using security signatures that only it possesses, Apple is capable of creating modified software that would work just on Farook's iPhone. "This customized version of iOS (*ahem* FBiOS) will ignore passcode entry delays, will not erase the device after any number of incorrect attempts, and will allow the FBI to hook up an external device to facilitate guessing the passcode," he wrote. "The FBI will send Apple the recovered iPhone so that this customized version of iOS never physically leaves the Apple campus." On Wednesday, Apple's peers in the technology industry - also eager to keep reputations over security intact - gave their backing to the iPhone maker. Jan Koum, the creator of Whatsapp, which is owned by Facebook, wrote: "We must not allow this dangerous precedent to be set. Today our freedom and our liberty is at stake." The Information Technology Industry Council, a lobbying group that represents Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Samsung, Blackberry and a host of others, put out this statement: "Our fight against terrorism is actually strengthened by the security tools and technologies created by the technology sector, so we must tread carefully given our shared goals of improving security, instead of creating insecurity." Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said: "Forcing companies to enable hacking could compromise users' privacy." Edward Snowden, whose revelations about US government spying provoked Apple's stance on passcode-protected data, said the FBI was "creating a world where citizens rely on Apple to defend their rights, rather than the other way around". White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters on Wednesday that the FBI was "simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device". The FBI, he said, had the full support of the White House in the matter. Potential Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he agreed "100% with the courts". "We should open it up," he told Fox News. While much of the technology community has backed Apple's stance, some commentators say the company is framing the debate poorly. On mic.com, writer Jack Smith argued: "The truth is that there is a protection in place: a warrant. "We should fight to make warrants difficult to obtain. But the real unprecedented feat is the idea that a corporation like Apple should be able to prevent our law enforcement from carrying out a lawfully obtained warrant." In the UK, the family of murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby told the BBC Apple was "protecting a murderer's privacy at the cost of public safety". Apple has a few more days to file its formal response to the court, which can be summed up as: "No." After a series of briefings at this local level, if neither side is happy, the case will be passed on to the District Court. Still no solution? The case would then be escalated to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the court which handles these sorts of issues on the US West Coast. If that court backs the FBI, and Apple again refuses, it could eventually reach the US Supreme Court, whose decision will ultimately be final, and in this utterly fascinating case, precedent setting. That could take several years. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook The Scottish club said a recent consultation found that admitting women members was supported by over three-quarters of those who participated. Muirfield voted in May not to admit women members and lost its right to stage the Open Championship. Royal Troon, situated in South Ayrshire, is the host for this year's Open, which runs from 14-17 July. Troon said in January it would review of its male-only membership policy. Club captain Martin Cheyne said: "Recently we spoke about the need for our club to reflect the modern society in which we exist. "I am pleased that a large majority of members who responded to our survey agree and support opening the club to women." Muirfield's vote to change its rules and allow women fell short of the required two-thirds majority. As well as provoking an Open ban, the decision received widespread condemnation from players, administrators and politicians. World number three and former Open champion Rory McIlroy said: "It's more of a loss to Muirfield than it is to us." Total was tackling the incident below the seabed in a well being drilled from the Elgin B platform. The company said there had been an "unexpected flow" about 4km below the seabed last month. A spokesman for Total said: "Operations have now been completed and the bottom part of the well has been successfully cemented." The company added: "At all times the well was under control at the surface and there was no loss of containment. "Precautionary measures that were put in place during the operations, such as restricting access to essential personnel only and also the reduction of production, have now been lifted." Prof David Stupples told the BBC that plans to replace ageing signal lights with new computers could leave the rail network exposed to cyber-attacks. UK tests of the European Rail Traffic Management System are under way. Network Rail, which is in charge of the upgrade, acknowledges the threat. "We know that the risk [of a cyber-attack] will increase as we continue to roll out digital technology across the network," a spokesman told the BBC. "We work closely with government, the security services, our partners and suppliers in the rail industry and external cybersecurity specialists to understand the threat to our systems and make sure we have the right controls in place." Once the ERTMS is up and running, computers will dictate critical safety information including how fast the trains should go and how long they will take to stop. It is scheduled to take command of trains on some of the UK's busy intercity routes by the 2020s. The system is already used in other parts of the world and there are no reported cases of it being affected by cyber-attacks. In fact, it is designed to make networks safer by reducing the risk of driver mistakes. But Prof Stupples - an expert in networked electronic and radio systems at City University in London - said if someone hacked into the system they could cause a "nasty accident" or "major disruption". "It's the clever malware [malicious software] that actually alters the way the train will respond," he explained. "So, it will perhaps tell the system the train is slowing down, when it's speeding up." "Governments aren't complacent", the professor added. "Certain ministers know this is absolutely possible and they are worried about it. Safeguards are going in, in secret, but it's always possible to get around them." He added that he had spoken up to raise awareness of the threat. "We keep security arrangements under constant review to take account of the threat and any new challenges we face," responded a spokeswoman for the Department of Transport. According to the professor, the system is well protected against outside attack, but he says danger could come from a rogue insider. "The weakness is getting malware into the system by employees. Either because they are dissatisfied or being bribed or coerced," he explained. He added that part of the reason that transport systems had not already been hacked as frequently as financial institutions and media organisations was that much of the technology involved was currently too old to be vulnerable. All of that will change in the coming years, as aircraft, cars and trains become progressively more computerised and connected, he said. Independent security expert Graham Cluley agreed that the sector could be vulnerable. "Seeing as we have seen nuclear enrichment facilities targeted with state-sponsored malware attacks and 'massive damage' done to a German steelworks, you have to ask yourself whether it is likely that a train signal system would be any better defended?" he asked. "The most obvious danger is going to be human. "The risk is that staff will either be deliberately and clandestinely assisting attackers or - most likely - make poor decisions, such as plugging in a device that is malware-infected that could expose the system's security." Prof Stupples said he was working with Cranfield University to develop a security system that would tell when a train or other mode of transport was acting oddly. "It would take it back into a safe state," he explained. But boss Peter Adams insists the final is not yet all over after Monday's 54-36 first-leg win at Monmore Green. Ahead of Wednesday's second leg in Manchester (19:30 BST), Adams told BBC Sport: "The job's not done yet. "We still have to go there and give a professional account of ourselves." Wolves themselves turned round a record Elite League deficit in their semi-final, when they came from 12 points down after the first leg to end Poole Pirates' three-year reign as champions. To come from even further back would be an astounding achievement against a Wolves side who have now won eight of their last nine meetings, but Adams warned: "We know how strong they can be around their own circuit. "That said, we'd still like to go there and win on the night. The team deserve a lot of credit to got there with such a lead. "After last week against Poole I was a little bit fearful that we may have peaked too soon, but the team proved me wrong." Against a Belle Vue side who finished top of the regular Elite League table, Wolves' star was reserve Kyle Howarth, who dropped just two points to a Belle Vue rider. Jacob Thorssell's two wins at the end of the first leg took both him and world individual champion Tai Woffinden past double figures again, while Sweden's Freddie Lindgren contributed nine points. Wolverhampton: Kyle Howarth 12+1, Jacob Thorssell 9+2, Freddie Lindgren 9, Tai Woffinden 8+2, Sam Masters 8, Peter Karlsson 4+3, Max Clegg 4+1. Belle Vue: Craig Cook 10, Steve Worrall 8, Scott Nicholls 6, Richie Worrall 6, Matej Zagar 5+1, Max Fricke 1, Joe Jacobs 0. Ryan Bird scored from close range to give County an early lead but Krystian Pearce levelled. County's Jaanai Gordon was sent off for a second yellow card before Shaquile Coulthirst's penalty put Mansfield ahead after Craig Reid handled. Newport remain six points adrift at the bottom of the table. Mansfield are eighth in the table and outside the play-off places on goal difference. Newport County manager Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales: "It's a difficult result to take. We have to talk about a huge turning point in the where a sending off happens. "We were confident and feeling good about the way we were playing at the stage and the sending off was a massive turning point - there was scarcely any contact. "It was never going to be easy for us but credit to our players." Match ends, Mansfield Town 2, Newport County 1. Second Half ends, Mansfield Town 2, Newport County 1. Attempt missed.

Rebels belonging to the Garo National Liberation Army opened fire on migrant workers who were playing cards late on Sunday in Goalpara district. Nine workers were also injured in the attack, police said. Assam has been plagued by ethnic clashes and separatist violence in recent years. Goalpara has witnessed violence between the Rabha and Garo tribes. Reports say that Sunday night's violence happened after Garo militants from neighbouring Meghalaya state fired at a group of Hindi-speaking migrant workers who were playing cards and gambling to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights. "These militants in army dress came and fired indiscriminately... after the attack, they retreated to Meghalaya," AP Raut, a senior Assam police official, told the NDTV news channel. Correspondents say many tribespeople resent the presence of outsiders, who they believe are taking their jobs and marrying local women. The Peugeot failed to stop after the collision, which happened at the junction of Raby Road and Perth Street in Hartlepool, Cleveland Police said. The boy was hit as he crossed the road with his mother at about 21:35 BST on Tuesday. A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion dangerous driving and possession of an offensive weapon. He was also suspected of driving while unfit through drugs. The boy, who suffered bruising, did not need medical treatment, police said. The vehicle also caused damage to the wall of a property, before crashing and ending up wedged between a wall and a car on Zetland Road. Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. Harambe, a western lowland gorilla, was killed at Cincinnati Zoo earlier this year after a three-year-old boy fell into his enclosure. On Wednesday, Philadelphia Zoo said it would allow the public to vote on a name for the newborn. Social media users quickly swamped the zoo with thousands of messages. The newborn is the same subspecies - Gorilla gorilla gorilla - as Harambe. Zookeepers, however, said the name will be put to a public poll from a selection chosen by staff members. There has been no confirmation that Harambe will make that shortlist and the competition has not even opened yet. That, however, has not stopped thousands of calls for the name online. Philadelphia Zoo said they were "amazed and humbled" by the "outpouring of support and genuine excitement". The newborn's sex is still unknown, as the baby is being held close by its mother, Honi. Zookeepers said staff will make suggestions once they know if it is a boy or a girl - and rely on the public to vote from those choices in the coming weeks. "We are very excited to welcome Honi's new baby," said Dr Andy Baker, the zoo's Chief Operating Officer. "This birth is an opportunity to engage our visitors in caring about the future of gorillas in the wild." Harambe's death in May this year, accompanied by sensational video footage of the three-year-old child in danger, made international headlines. In the wake of the shooting, many questioned the need for killing the animal, despite the keepers at Cincinnati Zoo insisting they had no choice. That led to a wide range of internet memes and an online campaign of "Justice for Harambe", which later became a joke in online circles. The zoo itself said it was "not amused" by the online jokes and closed its Twitter account, after months of Harambe references being posted in response to every tweet. Gen Karake, 54, was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Saturday, accused of ordering massacres in the wake of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. He was arrested by Met police officers under the European Arrest Warrant on behalf of the Spanish authorities. Williams Nkurunziza, Rwanda's High Commissioner to the UK, said it was "an insult to our collective conscience". Prime Minister David Cameron's official spokeswoman said it was an "operational matter" for the police who were legally obliged to act on valid European Arrest Warrants. Louise Mushikiwabo, Rwanda's foreign minister, called the arrest "an outrage" adding: "Western solidarity in demeaning Africans is unacceptable". Andrew Mitchell, former international development secretary, said he believed the arrest was a "reprehensible abuse" of the law. In 2008, Spanish investigative judge Andreu Merelles indicted Gen Karake for alleged war crimes along with 39 other current or former high-ranking Rwandan military officials. He is also accused of ordering the killing in 1997 of three Spanish nationals working for Medicos del Mundo. But the Rwandan government is said to be puzzled by the timing of Gen Karake's arrest, as he has travelled to the UK several times since the indictment was issued. Mr Nkurunziza told the BBC World Service: "We take strong exception to the suggestion that he's being arrested on war crimes. "Any suggestion that any of our 40 leaders are guilty of crimes against humanity is an insult to our collective conscience." Gen Karake was remanded in custody after appearing at Westminster magistrates court and he will reappear on Thursday. A spokesman for Spain's National Court said it was now up to the British authorities to decide whether or not to extradite him. By BBC foreign correspondent Karen Allen The arrest of General Karenzi Karake in London is bound to strain what is increasingly becoming a fragile relationship between Britain and Rwanda. Like two best friends, harsh words are exchanged from time to time, but on this occasion it feels like a smart slap whose sting may last for some time. It is perhaps not surprising that the detention of Rwanda's head of intelligence is being flagged up by London as a European "obligation" rather than a British decision. There is a strong ambition in Whitehall that the matter simply goes away. After all it was a Spanish high court judge that made the accusation of war crimes, not a British one. Read more from Karen here. Mr Mitchell told the BBC he thought the arrest was "completely wrong". "It's being used by supporters of the genocidal regime against those who stopped the genocide. "I think it is reprehensible that the European Arrest Warrant is being abused in this way by a junior Spanish judge," he said. "It's being used for political reasons and not judicial ones." He added that he agreed with American officials who have described the indictments as "un-researched, politically motivated and lacking in facts". Phil Clark, lecturer on Africa's Great Lakes Region at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, said there were concerns about the evidence in the Spanish indictment. "There's a sloppiness I think in much of the investigation that underpins this and even very critical human rights groups, that have tended not to be very friendly to Rwanda in the past, have raised questions about the quality of the Spanish arrest warrants." By Mary Harper, BBC World Service Africa editor Rwanda's furious reaction to the arrest is typical. Whenever it is criticised, especially in relation to reprisal killings of Hutus, it lashes out, accusing its critics of "genocide denial". In some ways, it seeks to exploit the collective international guilt arising from the world's failure to stop the genocide of 1994. Britain finds itself in a difficult position. It has been a close friend of Rwanda, praising the government of Paul Kagame for turning the country around and becoming one of Africa's economic "success stories". However, the Kagame government comes down hard on dissent, stifles media freedom, and has been accused of meddling in conflicts across its borders. Phillip Gourevitch, a leading writer on Rwanda, told Newsnight that Gen Karake's arrest was the equivalent of the head of the UK's MI6 or the US's CIA being arrested. In a statement the British High Commission in Rwanda said the arrest was a "legal obligation" carried out on behalf of the Spanish authorities but stressed the UK had a "close relationship" with the Rwandan government. "We co-operate closely on a growing range of regional and international issues," the statement said. It is understood that on Thursday Westminster magistrates will fix a date for an extradition hearing within three weeks. There, a district judge will decide whether to proceed with the extradition. The whole process should take no more than 90 days. Gen Karake is director general of Rwanda's National Intelligence and Security Services and a member of Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). Nicknamed KK, the Rwandan government hail him as one of the people who stopped the genocide. He went on to be deputy commander of the country's first UN peacekeeping mission in Darfur before returning to his role as spy chief. During the genocide an estimated 800,000 people were killed between April and June 1994 by ethnic Hutu extremists. Most of the dead were members of the minority Tutsi community and politically moderate Hutus. The killings ended when the RPF, a Tutsi-led rebel movement that entered Rwanda from Uganda, seized control of the country. But Human Rights Watch reported that in their drive for military victory and to control the population, the RPF killed thousands, including government troops, members of the militia and some civilians in numerous executions and massacres. Ignacio Jovtis, of Amnesty International in Madrid, said he hoped Gen Karake would be sent to face trial in Spain: "We think that Spain has started the investigation in 2008 and nothing happened until today. It is good news". Gen Karake is the first major RPF figure to be arrested under charges brought abroad.

In a Sunday Times interview, Liam Fox said he had "not been party" to widely-reported talks about a "transitional" period when free movement is retained. Chancellor Philip Hammond has said "it will be some time" before full migration controls can be introduced. Mr Fox said border controls had been a key element of the Brexit referendum. He added: "Unregulated free movement would seem to me not to keep faith with that decision. "I am very happy to discuss whatever transitional arrangements and whatever implementation agreement we might want, but that has to be an agreement by the cabinet. "It can't just be made by an individual or any group within the cabinet." On that basis, Mr Fox cast doubt on claims that the free movement of EU citizens would remain in place for up to three years after the UK leaves the EU as part of a Brexit transition deal. "If there have been discussions on that, I have not been party to them," he said. "I have not been involved in any discussion on that, nor have I signified my agreement to anything like that." On Friday, Mr Hammond said free movement would end in name only in 2019. The chancellor said "many things will look similar" the day after Brexit. "It will be some time before we are able to introduce full migration controls between the UK and the European Union," he added. Mr Hammond said any transitional deal in the period after Brexit must end by June 2022, the time of the next general election. But he said there must be "business as usual, life as normal" for Britons as the UK left the EU. BBC political correspondent Chris Mason says Mr Fox's interview lays bare division in the cabinet. Our correspondent added: "The government's negotiations with Brussels over Brexit are yet to touch on any transitional period after March 2019. "Senior ministers appear united about what they see as the desirability and necessity of such an arrangement, but, crucially, not about exactly how it might look." The 20-year-old man was arrested when he fell out of the rear wheel cavity as the jet landed at the west London airport on Sunday evening. The man was freed after a caution from Metropolitan Police, as the UK Border Agency is not seeking to deport him. He had bruises and hypothermia from outside temperatures as low as -41C. But experts said the stowaway survived the flight because the plane flew at a low altitude to avoid stormy weather. The plane belonged to a sheikh from the United Arab Emirates and had been standing empty on the tarmac at Schwechat airport in Vienna, since Thursday. It flew without passengers to Heathrow. The man apparently told British authorities that he got under a fence at Schwechat and climbed into the undercarriage of the first plane he saw without knowing its destination. A Met spokesman said the man was arrested for stowing away in an aircraft, contrary to the Air Navigation Order 2009, but was cautioned and freed with no further action being taken. It is understood that the UK Border Agency is not seeking to deport him. Head of border force for the UK Border Agency, Brodie Clark, said: "This individual was apprehended as soon as he arrived in the UK. Full identity checks were carried out. "We work with counterparts overseas to use the latest technology at our ports and check people against a range of watchlists to prevent those who pose us harm from coming to the UK." A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said the man was "very lucky" to be alive. He said: "If they don't find the right part to stow away, they can be crushed when the undercarriage comes up. "Because of the altitude and temperatures during the flight, there is a severe risk to them through exposure and lack of oxygen. "If that doesn't kill them, then they could be unconscious when the aircraft descends, and that can mean that when the undercarriage opens again, they will fall out." Experts have studied ash grains taken from Icelandic eruptions to compare satellite-based measurements of ash clouds with ash deposits on the ground. It is hoped it will help methods of mapping ash concentration to identify where it is safe to fly in eruptions. Flights were cancelled in 2010 and 2011 following volcanic activity in Iceland. Dr John Stevenson, of Edinburgh University's school of GeoSciences, who led the study, said: "Mapping volcanic ash clouds and their risk to aircraft is hard. "Large regions of airspace can be contaminated by particles that are invisible to the naked eye. "Combining the expertise of volcanologists and atmospheric scientists should help improve forecasts." Researchers studied volcanic ash recovered in the UK from the recent Eyjafjallajokull and Grimsvotn eruptions in Iceland, as well as prehistoric samples from peat bogs in Scotland, Ireland and Yorkshire. Another sample, from an 1875 eruption, had been in a museum for 140 years. They hoped to understand the range of sizes of grains and how far they had travelled. Ash grains were found to be much larger than typically estimated by satellites, while calculations showed that even moderately sized eruptions could disperse large grains as far as the UK. The group also used computer models to simulate how clouds of various ash particle sizes would appear to satellite sensors. They found that sensors can under-estimate the size of larger particles. The study, published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, was carried out with the Met Office, Leeds University and Iceland University. It was supported by the Scottish government and Marie Curie Actions via the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The 20-year-old had a spell at Barnet last season and has made six substitute appearances for the Lions this term. "Alfie is a striker with a good pedigree who comes highly-recommended to us," Shots manager Barry Smith said. "He's received good coaching at Millwall and was wanted by a number of National League clubs during this transfer window." Pavey is eligible to make his debut for the Shots when they host Chester on Saturday. He described the education secretary as more "open-minded" than David Cameron. Senior Tory MP Michael Fabricant has suggested UKIP might not field candidates in return for a promise of an in/out referendum on EU membership. Mr Farage has previously said any Tory pledge must be "written in blood". But Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps "categorically" ruled out a deal with UKIP. In an internal report to the prime minister, Mr Fabricant, who oversees campaigns on the ground, says UKIP, which wants the UK to withdraw from the European Union, poses a threat to the Conservatives in crucial marginal constituencies. He proposes a pact, in which the Conservatives would promise a referendum after 2015 and in return UKIP would not stand against Tory candidates. He believes it could help the Conservatives win an extra 20 to 40 seats at the next general election. But Mr Cameron angered UKIP in 2006 by describing the party's members as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists, mostly". Asked about Mr Fabricant's idea, Mr Farage told BBC Two's Daily Politics: "If Cameron went and somebody pragmatic, grown-up and sensible like Michael Gove was leader, we might think then that we could sit round a table and have a proper discussion. "Open-minded, doesn't throw abuse around and thinks issues through - he would be the right kind of person." Mr Fabricant told the same programme: "What did Nigel Farage say? 'It will have to be signed in blood.' "If we feel in 24 months' time that we want a deal with UKIP - and it may not be necessary or advantageous - I will donate the blood." Asked whether Mr Farage could be offered a cabinet seat as part of a deal, Mr Fabricant said: "I think Nigel Farage has got a lot of talent and I know we bring in people from other parties to do things in government, but that would be a judgment for David Cameron and George Osborne." Asked whether some UKIP members were "closet racists", he added: "The truth is some UKIP members are. I'm going to be very controversial and say some Conservative members might well be and Labour members and Liberal Democrats too. I heard [Mr Cameron's 2006] interview and I don't think it needs retraction at all. "Nigel Farage is an intelligent man. He will do what he thinks is best for the country in its relations with the EU. Let's see what happens in two years' time." But Mr Shapps said: "I want to win the next election outright of course for the Conservatives so we have an outright majority and we don't have to be in coalition. "But I want to do that with Conservative candidates fighting and winning on their own ground and on their own terms and that's exactly what we are going to do. So I can categorically rule out any form of electoral pact with UKIP or anyone else." A Downing Street source said: "Michael Fabricant does a great job campaigning in by-elections but he doesn't speak for the party on this issue. "The safest way to protect Britain's interests is to vote Conservative. That's why we'll have Tory candidates in every seat at the next election." But Labour vice-chairman Michael Dugher said: "For Number 10 to say that the vice-chairman of the Conservative Party doesn't speak for the Conservatives is ridiculous. "It shows how weak David Cameron has become and is yet another sign that Cameron's Tories are completely divided over Europe. Instead of fighting for a deal for Britain on the EU budget, the Tories are too busy trying to do a deal for the Tory party with UKIP." The case, brought by the Belgian Privacy Commission (BPC), required the social network to stop tracking non-users immediately or face a fine. It was handed down on 9 November and Facebook was given 48 hours to comply. Facebook said it was negotiating with the BPC. "We met with the BPC and provided them specific solutions addressing their concerns about our security cookie. This cookie helped us stop more than 33,000 account takeover attempts in Belgium in the last month, and similar cookies are used by most major internet services. "We look forward to resolving this without jeopardising people's safe and secure access to Facebook," said Alex Stamos, chief security officer, in a statement. A spokeswoman for the BPC told the BBC the judgement had yet to be formally served to Facebook because it is "waiting for an English translation" of the 33 pages. The case hinged on a tracking cookie that Facebook has used for the last five years. Research commissioned by the Belgian privacy authority found that non-members who visited a facebook.com page had the datr cookie downloaded on to their browser. The court agreed that Facebook should remove the cookie for non-members and said that, if Facebook failed to comply, it could face fines of up to 250,000 euros (£180,000) per day. Meanwhile, Facebook's battles with privacy campaigner and Austrian law student Max Schrems continued as a case he is pursuing against the company reached the Austrian supreme court. It will decide whether Mr Schrems can bring a class action suit against the social networking firm. He is seeking to add one of his own complaints to thousands of others from Facebook users over alleged infringements of European Union privacy laws. "It would not make a lot of sense for the court or the parties before it to file these claims as thousands of individual lawsuits - which we can still do if a 'class action' is not allowed. We therefore think that the 'class action' is not only legal but also the only reasonable way to deal with thousands of identical privacy violations by Facebook," Mr Schrems said in a statement. The Austrian court may choose to refer the case the European Court of Justice, which has already ruled in his favour in another case. It found last month that the Safe Harbour agreement, which allowed tech firms to send personal data from the EU to the US, was invalid. The High Court of Ireland - the country where Facebook has its international headquarters - is currently investigating whether the firm's transfer of EU user data abided by the privacy laws and offered adequate protection to European citizens from US surveillance.

Chief executive: Ian Drake Technical director with responsibility for rider performance: Shane Sutton Programmes director responsible for development: Andy Harrison Head of performance support: To be appointed "It's a big step but the right decision for the team and for me," he said. Head coach Shane Sutton will now become technical director responsible for rider performance ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games. Since taking charge of Team Sky in 2009, Brailsford masterminded Tour de France wins for Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and Chris Froome last year. The success of Team Sky has taken more and more of his time, leading to his decision to now concentrate all of his efforts on the road-racing team. He is currently preparing for this year's Giro d'Italia, which starts in Belfast next month, and the Tour de France, which starts in Yorkshire on 5 July. Andy Harrison will continue as British Cycling's programmes director and, along with Sutton, will work alongside a new "head of performance support".

"There are brilliant coaches who are still in place so there will be continuity and a smooth handover and I won't be far away. I'm still in the sport and hopefully at hand if anybody needs any help or advice." He added: "I'd like to thank all the great staff who I've worked with, and of course the amazing athletes who ultimately deserve all the credit for their success. "I have some extraordinary memories - not just from Olympic Games and World Championships but also just day-to-day, seeing cycling go from a fringe activity to a mainstream sport. "I've always said that, more than any of the medals, the transformation of cycling in Britain is the single thing I'm most proud of having helped achieve." British Cycling chief executive Ian Drake paid tribute to the contribution of Brailsford and Peters, and added: "In Shane and Andy, I'm confident we have the right management team to take us into Rio and beyond. "The sport of cycling in this country has travelled a long way in the last few years but the best is yet to come." Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins, who has worked closely with Brailsford, was also full of praise for his achievements. "He has taken us from a team in Atlanta in 1996 who had to pay for their own kit and not medalling, to the best, most feared track team in the world," he said. Brailsford joined British Cycling in 1997 and took over as performance director when Peter Keen left in 2003. He revolutionised the sport with his attention to detail and focussing on "marginal gains" which brought Team GB 30 Olympic medals - mainly on the track - between 2004 and 2012. He was made MBE in 2005, CBE in 2009 and was knighted after the London Olympics. In December 2012 he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Coach Award for a second time. Police Scotland said the class A drug was recovered from an address in Mains Loan on 2 December. A 44-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the seizure. A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal and the pair are expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court. Ch Insp Gary Ogilvie, of Police Scotland, said: "We will act on information that you provide regarding illegal drugs in our community and we are focused on reducing harm in Dundee." Sandwich chain Social Bite has partnered with housing and homelessness charity Shelter Scotland. Now anyone receiving a free meal will be pointed in the direction of Shelter Scotland's free national helpline and support services. Last December Social Bite sold more than 36,000 meals through Itison.com. People were asked to make a #£5 donation to help provide a hot cooked meal for a homeless person on Christmas Day. The sandwich shop had hoped to get enough to offer 800 meals to feed homeless people in the capital, but raised enough money to feed homeless people through their Glasgow and Edinburgh premises throughout 2015. It will now give a leaflet with Shelter Scotland's contact details to anyone receiving a free meal. Josh Littlejohn, co-founder of Social Bite, said: "We want to make every donation that led to a free meal count, not just today or tomorrow, but long into the future. That means offering more than the basics. "We're thrilled to be joining forces with housing experts at Shelter Scotland and hope that by working together we can help many more homeless people move out of poverty, off the streets and into homes of their own. "The idea is that as well as getting something as basic as a cooked meal, we can point people in the direction of the specialist advice and support they need. "We hope that together with Shelter Scotland we make a difference to each and every homeless person who comes through our doors." Currently, one in four Social Bite employees are formerly homeless people. The sandwich shop has already donated money to support the charity's work and will donate a further £4,000 this month to help with the roll-out of the partnership. Graeme Brown, director of Shelter Scotland, said: "Social Bite's innovative approach to helping homeless people is to be applauded. "You just have to hear some of the experiences of their own staff to see the positive impact they have on the lives of homeless people. "We are very grateful to Josh and his colleagues for choosing to raise valuable funds for Shelter Scotland. "Support and generosity like this enables us to offer vital services to those experiencing homelessness and housing problems across Scotland." Social Bite was started by Mr Littlejohn and co-founder Alice Thompson two years ago. It has outlets in Edinburgh and Glasgow and plans to open in Aberdeen and Dundee later this year. The founders were inspired by a visit to Bangladesh, where they met Nobel Peace Prize winner and microcredit pioneer Prof Muhammad Yunus. Social Bite gives 100% of its profits to charity and recruits people from homeless backgrounds. A south London resident claims Lambeth Council unlawfully granted planning permission for the £175m bridge. Michael Ball, from Tulse Hill in Lambeth, fears its impact will be "devastating". Lambeth Council said the bridge would potentially benefit "both the local and wider London economy". The London Garden Bridge Trust said the project would greatly benefit the capital, linking cultural centres and tourist attractions on both banks of the river. In a statement, it said: "This judicial review will run its course and in the meantime, the trust is proceeding with its plans on all aspects of the project, including fundraising and ongoing consultation with those affected by the development." It said the bridge would also create new routes allowing for safer walking and improved pedestrian safety, whilst providing a new attraction for tourists. Mr Ball, who was born close to the site, complained to the local planning authority about the impact the bridge would have on local residents. "The impact of the Garden Bridge will be devastating," he said. "The best views of the City and St Paul's will be compromised from Waterloo Bridge and entirely blocked along the South Bank." Mr Ball is a former director of Waterloo Community Development Group (WCDG), which has campaigned on planning policies in the area since the early 1970s. Lawyers for Mr Ball have argued Lambeth Council failed to comply with its duty to protect the historic settings of listed buildings in the area, including Somerset House. They have also said long-term funding arrangements for the project have not been properly considered. A spokesperson for Lambeth council described the project as a "creative and ambitious idea" with the potential to become an attractive landmark. The plans will be fully scrutinised prior to their final agreement, they added. London Mayor Boris Johnson approved plans for the bridge in December after Lambeth Council and Westminster City Council granted planning permission. Actress Joanna Lumley came up with the idea for the crossing, which will link Temple with the Southbank, and it has been designed by London 2012 cauldron creator Thomas Heatherwick. It is estimated seven million trips per year will be made across the bridge. At the UN summit in New York, the prime minister said the migration crisis had been "exacerbated" by "unprecedented" numbers of economic migrants. She urged a change in approach, saying refugees should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach. The UN says a record number of people have been displaced by conflict. It estimates that 65.3 million people were either refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced at the end of 2015, an increase of five million in a year. The UN summit for refugees and migrants is aiming to agree a "more humane and coordinated approach". Addressing world leaders, Mrs May called for a greater distinction between refugees and people trying to enter a country for economic reasons. "Controlled legal and safe migration" benefited the economy, she said, and there was nothing wrong with "moving for a better life". But she said the current levels of "uncontrolled migration" were not in the interests of the migrants or the countries involved, and served to reduce popular support for refugees. "We need to be clear that all countries have the right to control their borders and protect their citizens and be equally clear that countries have a duty to manage their borders, to reduce onward flows of illegal and uncontrolled migration," she said. She argued that refugees should seek asylum in the first safe country they arrived in because the current trend of onward movement exposed them to increased danger and benefited criminal gangs. Such an approach would bar EU countries from allowing migrants to travel onwards from countries like Greece, Italy and France through Europe to Britain. Mrs May said resources should be focused on "refugees in desperate need of protection", and she urged the international community to "come together" to deal with the crisis. UN appeals for assistance were "underfunded", host countries were not getting enough support and displaced people not receiving the aid they needed, she said. The PM said the UK was "already playing its part" but promised to "step up our efforts" with more financial assistance. Defending the UK's approach, the Home Office said the government had pledged £2.3bn in humanitarian aid to Syria and neighbouring countries and was providing nearly £70m in response to the Mediterranean migration crisis. "This government has been at the forefront of the international response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria," it said. "We have committed to resettling 20,000 Syrian refugees through our Vulnerable Persons Resettlement scheme over the course of this Parliament - we are on track to achieve that and have already provided refuge to more than 2,800 under this route. "Under the new Vulnerable Children's Resettlement Scheme we will also bring 3,000 individuals to the UK over the same period." As well as speaking at the UN event, chaired by secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, Mrs May is also taking part in a summit on refugees hosted by US president Barack Obama on Tuesday. In London's Parliament Square, campaigners have created a display using lifejackets worn by refugees crossing the sea into Europe. Charities behind the temporary installation said it would "remind leaders of the risks families have taken to reach safety, the need for solidarity with refugees, respect of their rights and more international responsibility sharing". They said the summit was a "historic opportunity to garner the political will of world leaders to save lives, protect rights and share responsibility on a global scale". Labour MP Yvette Cooper, who chairs her party's refugees taskforce, said the UK was "resisting doing our bit" in terms of settling refugees, particularly children. She agreed with Mrs May on the importance of border controls, which she said would help prevent people-smuggling, but criticised the PM for focusing on this element rather than helping refugees. Police were called to the scene at the Workmen's Club, on Front Street, Cramlington at 10:27 GMT by the ambulance service. The victim was treated at the club by paramedics and taken to hospital but died from his injuries. Officers have arrested a 35-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman on suspicion of murder and they are in custody. Det Ch Insp Lisa Theaker, said: "We know the club was very busy at the time of the incident and police are asking for anyone who was there at the time on Christmas Eve to please get in contact as they may be able to help us with our inquiries." Lifelong fan Hearn sold the club to the Italian for £4m in July 2014. This week the club was served with a winding-up petition from Revenue & Customs for non-payment of tax, with a High Court hearing set for 20 March. "Looking where we are now, I would never have sold if I had thought this was going to happen," Hearn said. "Hindsight is a wonderful advisor." He told BBC Radio 5 live: "At the time I thought it was perfect for everybody - fans, myself, the club." Hearn, who was Orient chairman for 19 years, said when the takeover was completed, he and fans were "pretty certain" that Becchetti, who made a fortune in waste management and recycling, would prove to be a good owner. "He had a very engaging personality," the 68-year-old said. "He seemed passionate about what he wanted to do, and he has done what he told me he was going to do - he has injected many, many millions of pounds into Leyton Orient. "It is just that putting the money in, and spending it wisely are not always the same things." A meeting of the Leyton Orient Fans' Trust (Loft) on Thursday night agreed on what the group calls "a last-resort measure" to try to save the relegation-threatened club. Should Becchetti not pay the tax bill before the court date, then at the winding-up hearing the fans would seek the appointment of an administrator, despite the fact it would mean the club being deducted 12 points under English Football League rules. An administrator would then look to sell the club as a going concern to a potential new owner. "That application would be made as late as possible to give the club's current owner time to settle the bill," said Loft spokesman Tom Davies. However, he added that should an adjournment of the court hearing provide a more stable course and future for the club, then they would favour an adjournment. In addition, Loft has launched a crowd funding page to try to raise £250,000 - reportedly the tax sum owed by the club. Loft also want to meet Hearn, still the chairman of World Snooker, to discuss its plans for saving the club. "I have been a bit critical of fans' trusts in the past up and down the country. Some of them have worked, but some of them have been abysmal failures," he said. "But I think they should be encouraged and applauded for looking at the situation. It comes down to what plan they have in their mind, what is the sustainability of the club within that plan and what management, because it is all about management." Hearn still owns Orient's Matchroom Stadium. But for that, he believes it could have been sold for redevelopment. "Fortunately Leyton Orient have got a 20-year lease on the ground, with another 20-year option. I did it on purpose because I could never be 100% sure where I was selling," he added. "I kept the ground to make sure it wasn't used for the wrong reasons - that it wasn't the wrong reasons for buying a football club. Thank goodness I kept it because I would imagine now, with the situation it is, developers would be knocking on the door tomorrow." When asked by BBC Sport, Leyton Orient declined to respond to Hearn's remarks or comment on Loft's proposals. The British Pregnancy Advice Service (BPAS) says there is "no need" for an abortion in such cases, as there is "minimal" damage to babies from isolated episodes of binge drinking by their mothers. FAS is a rare but serious condition that can cause: Statistics for the incidence of the disorder in the UK are not available, but in America, experts say 0.2 to 1.5 cases occur for every 1,000 live births in certain areas of the country. BPAS says this risk is incredibly small and women should not needlessly fear their behaviour has damaged their baby. A Danish study in 2012 of more than 1,600 women suggested low-to-moderate drinking was not linked to adverse neurological effects in five-year-olds, but heavy, weekly drinking was associated with a lower attention span in the children. So when is it OK to drink during pregnancy? Up until the 1980s, pregnant women were advised to drink stout to boost their iron levels. Official advice today is somewhat different. Pregnant women should avoid alcohol altogether, says the British government. And if alcohol really must be consumed, it should be limited to the equivalent of one small glass of wine, once or twice a week, it adds. This advice is mirrored by the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, (RCOG), which says the safest option for women is not to drink at all for the first 12 weeks and then minimal amounts per week after that. Meanwhile, national guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence say women should not drink for the first three months of their pregnancy, to minimise the risk of miscarrying. And after that, it says pregnant mothers should drink only one to two units a week. Alcohol can disrupt the baby's normal development in the womb, its health at birth, susceptibility to illness in infancy, childhood, teenage years and later life, warns the RCOG. It says the effects of drinking are "most harmful" just before pregnancy, due to the way alcohol hampers fertility, in both men and women - the mechanism of which is largely unknown. Later in pregnancy, the shared blood supply between the mother and her baby via the placenta means that any alcohol that is consumed could easily reach the baby. Before this - soon after conception and often prior to the woman finding out she is pregnant - could be a different matter. There is limited evidence about how alcohol affects the baby before there is a direct line between the mother and baby's blood supply, which happens about week four of pregnancy, the point at which a woman might be aware of missing her period and suspecting she is pregnant. Understandably, it is ethically difficult to study. This uncertainty means experts often err on the side of caution when providing advice. Dr Patrick O'Brien, a spokesman for the RCOG, says: "The general consensus is something harmful like alcohol tends to have an all or nothing effect [in the very early stages of pregnancy]. "It tends to cause a miscarriage or it has no harmful effect." He said such a situation is "very common" and he gets women coming to him every week worried they have drunk heavily before knowing they were pregnant. If the baby is still alive after such drinking, he says, the likelihood is it will be healthy. Dr O'Brien added that the mother's liver had a "lot of reserve" so could handle supporting the blood supply of an embryonic child while processing alcohol at the same time. But he warned it could not deal with "consistent, heavy" alcohol intake. The jury is largely out about exactly how much alcohol can be drunk during pregnancy, and when. New draft guidelines from the government are expected to be released in the middle of next year - until then, the Department of Health suggests anybody concerned they have drunk too much alcohol during pregnancy should contact their doctor. "The chief medical officer is currently reviewing all the guidelines for drinking," said a spokesman. Binali Yildirim told reporters in Ankara that more than 3,000 of those sacked were members of the military. They are suspected of links to exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, he said. Announcing a visit to Turkey by US Vice-President Joe Biden, he again urged the US to extradite Mr Gulen. The cleric, a former ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, lives in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, from where he runs a worldwide network of charities and schools. He denies any knowledge of or involvement in Turkey's first coup attempt since 1997, which left 270 people dead. "The main element improving our relations with the US is the extradition of Gulen, where there is no room for negotiation," Mr Yildirim was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. "Whether or not the anti-Americanism in Turkey will continue is also dependant on this." According to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, the Turkish prime minister added that the US stance on extradition was "getting better". He said that since the coup attempt on 15-16 July, 76,597 civil servants had been suspended over links to the coup attempt, and 4,897 had been dismissed from their posts, bringing the total number to 81,974. The coup plotters, he said, had their own "communication network of 50,000 people". Mr Yildirim said Mr Biden would visit Turkey on 24 August. In another development, reported by Reuters, the Istanbul chief prosecutor's office sent a letter to the US authorities asking for the detention of Mr Gulen. Media playback is not supported on this device The 26-year-old became the figurehead for a movement which saw the world's elite riders refuse to compete in a test event at the course in October 2015. They claimed it was unsafe, with some jumps "too dangerous", and forced the organisers to make changes. Phillips returned to Rio this year to test the revised course and said he was pleased with the progress. Phillips, who competes in the BMX Supercross World Cup in Manchester this weekend, told BBC Sport: "Six months ago it was unrideable - it was actually impossible to do a lap from start to finish. "I felt obliged [to speak out] because there are a lot of young kids coming into the sport and we needed to stand up because the situation was upsetting. "We want to race and be on the podium because you have beaten other riders, not just survived the track - and that's literally what we were dealing with last year." Discussing his return to the venue, he added: "They only finished the day before we started riding so the surface was still soft and there were teething issues, but it will be a very good race track in Rio." Media playback is not supported on this device Phillips, who in 2015 became the first man to claim back-to-back overall BMX World Cup titles, hopes to start a "huge year" with a season-opening victory in Manchester, before the World Championships and Olympics. He missed the Argentina World Cup last month in preparation for his attempt at a fourth successive Manchester Supercross victory. "Each year the pressure ramps up, but I'm proud of my record and want to keep that momentum going," said Phillips. "I don't think I have anything to prove, but I love starting with a race here." Phillips has won every title on his 'home' track since Manchester first hosted a Supercross World Cup event in 2013. He is joined in the Great Britain team by Kyle Evans, Tre Whyte and Quillan Isidore, with Paddy Sharrock missing through injury. The British team have only secured two BMX places - one male and one female - at an Olympics since the sport made its debut at Beijing 2008. They should again seal one female qualification place, but will attain the maximum three male spots if they rank inside the top four at the end of the Olympic qualification period in May. GB are currently fifth with 3,993 points, with France fourth on 4,278 and a race victory worth 225 points. "It's a position we've never been in before and two years ago when we started this process we weren't thinking anything like this could be possible," said Phillips. "I'll ride the best I can to pick up points, but we've been open as a squad and they [Evans and Whyte] know they need to step up and score points themselves." Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is serving 18 months in prison for a £160,000 mortgage fraud. A Twitter account in his name with more than 87,000 followers regularly discussed his time inside. The Ministry of Justice said an inmate cannot publish material if it contravenes prison policy, and this included sending it via a third party. Last Wednesday, the BBC contacted the Prison Service to ask for its views on the account, which contained details about Robinson's prison number and address. In response, a spokesman said: "The justice secretary has made it clear that it is totally unacceptable for prisoners to access social networking sites or instruct others to do so on their behalf. "No prisoner should be in any doubt that if they break the rules they will be stripped of their privileges and may be reported to the police for further action." Two days after the statement, the Prison Service contacted the BBC in response to follow-up questions to confirm that Robinson's Twitter account had been suspended. No further information was provided. The spokesman would not confirm if Robinson's prison privileges had been withdrawn as he said it would not discuss individual cases on confidentiality grounds. It is not clear if the police are involved in the matter. Robinson, 31, from Luton, who stood down from the EDL last year, was jailed at St Albans Crown Court after pleading guilty last November. The court was told his life was in danger, and he would have to spend his prison time in solitary confinement. He co-founded the EDL in 2009 after a parade by the Royal Anglian Regiment in Luton was disrupted by Islamist protesters, but left the group in October, citing concerns over the "dangers of far-right extremism". Last month, Robinson's Twitter page described his "black eyes, bloody nose, sore neck" after he was allegedly attacked in HMP Woodhill. The Ministry of Justice said a prisoner had been treated for minor injuries following an incident on 5 February.

Defeat at Emirates Stadium is simply unthinkable for Arsene Wenger's side, even given their current problems, but this sort of supposed mismatch brings its own pressure for their players. The Gunners won away at another National League side, Sutton United, in the fifth round but now they face a challenge that will be completely new to them at the Emirates, where they have never played a non-league team before. Hibernian boss and BBC pundit Neil Lennon draws on his experience as a player and manager in the FA Cup and Scottish Cup to explain what Arsenal must overcome, and why their psychology will be as important as their tactics when it comes to reaching the last four. Media playback is not supported on this device Lennon: "In the space of four days, Arsenal will go from playing Bayern Munich, one of the biggest clubs in the world and with some of the best players, to taking on a team they will have hardly heard of until recently. "In this sort of situation as a player I always prepared myself as best I could but, mentally, it is hard to approach a game like this the same way as you would normally do. "When I was playing for Leicester under Martin O'Neill, I remember going to Hereford in the third round of the FA Cup in the 1999-00 season. "We had played Arsenal the week before the first tie and I was up against Thierry Henry, Marc Overmars and Emanuel Petit. I went from that to playing, among others, an electrician, a teacher and a farmer. "I had been in the lower leagues with Crewe, and played and scored at Edgar Street when Hereford were a Football League team, so I had an idea of what to expect, which helped. I knew it would be tough. "Even so, sub-consciously, there was not the same level of intensity to my game as there had been against Arsenal. How could there be? "Whether you are home or away against a non-league side, the occasion, atmosphere and opposition are completely different to when you are playing one of the big clubs. "It is very difficult to have the same approach, even if the remit is the same." Media playback is not supported on this device Lennon: "We drew 0-0 at Hereford and only just about ended up winning the replay 2-1 after extra time. Martin had done everything he could to prepare us the right way, but we still nearly went out. "I have been there myself as a manager too. You know the situation is fraught with danger, you can see what might happen - but it doesn't mean you can stop it. "With Bolton last season, we also needed a replay to get past Eastleigh. Before the first game at their place, I tried to make sure my players knew what to expect. "I had done everything I could to get rid of any complacency, but I was still looking around the dressing room before kick-off wondering if they all really knew how tough it would be. "I had it with Hibs this season too, on our way to the Scottish Cup semi-finals. "In the fourth round we played a junior team Bonnyrigg Rose at Tynecastle. We ended up winning comfortably, but for the first five or 10 minutes we did not settle at all. "It felt we had stepped into the unknown and the only way of dealing with that was by being out on the pitch." Media playback is not supported on this device Lennon: "Believe it or not, with Arsenal there might also be a few nerves in there too, because they will not want to be on the end of an embarrassment. "Unlike most other matches, they will be thinking about that. You cannot ignore it - you have to address it and try to turn it into a positive. "Part of my pre-match team talk for Bolton was basically saying to the players that this is Eastleigh's cup final, and that they would be in their dressing room now thinking they can beat us. "I said that the BBC TV cameras were here to see us lose, for the magic of the cup and all that. So, let's not be the story, let's not be on the receiving end of that. "I tried to tell them if we play like we can then we will be all right, but we still had to show them the respect that we would do any other team." Lennon: "Having some experience in the team will be vital for Arsenal. "There is no way I could have played a lot of young players against Eastleigh because it would have been like throwing a kitten into the jungle. "I am sure their scouting report for Lincoln will be similar to the one we got for Eastleigh because at that level, you expect sides to be hard-working and physical. "Defensively, it is about the basics of the game - you have to stop the crosses and defend set-plays with your life because that is an avenue for them. You can prepare for that in training - we did. "At Eastleigh, the pitch was so bad that we could not play football on it so we ended up playing their type of game - it became a dog fight. "That will not happen to Arsenal on a nice surface at Emirates Stadium on Saturday but they still need to be careful." Media playback is not supported on this device Lennon: "Off the pitch, there is plenty that can affect you too. "Arsenal have to deal with all the attention on Wenger's future at the moment and speculation over Alexis Sanchez too. "At least Sanchez won't be sold before Saturday, though. The day before Bolton played Eastleigh I was told bids had been accepted for two of my players who were going to start and they could not play. "The expectancy levels of the supporters, press and people on social media play a part as well. Media playback is not supported on this device "I am sure Arsenal are happier to be playing at home than having another away tie against a non-league team, like they did against Sutton United in the last round. "But it means their fans will rock up thinking they will see them win by three or four goals, when it doesn't always work out that way. "If their players think the same, then the longer the game stays at 0-0, the danger is that they will start thinking 'we should be beating these' and stop playing their normal game. "The first goal will make a difference too - Eastleigh scored first in both ties against us and you could see the lift that gave them. Media playback is not supported on this device "Lincoln's run to get this far will give them huge momentum and belief, but I still think Arsenal will get through this tie - in fact I think they will win comfortably. "We can assume Lincoln will work hard and give everything, but they will probably end up being outclassed. "Arsenal had the experience and quality to get past Sutton in their last match, so you would have to expect them to negotiate this tie as well." Neil Lennon was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. As a journalist, there are some stories which simply never leave you. Strangely, it is rarely the story itself which leaves its mark. It is the people you meet along the way. For me, it was a young Romanian man. I never learned his name. I had travelled with him for three days across seven countries on a bus, in search of work. We ate together and I laughed with him and watched him cry yet I never learned his name. I had been investigating human trafficking and the supply chain between Eastern Europe and Scotland. Romanian traffickers, I heard, were bringing victims over to the UK in such large numbers that they were now using every route possible to fulfil demand. I was told a bus now ran three times a week from Bucharest to Glasgow. A bus which traffickers had used to bring their victims over. I heard the bus was full every week, nearly all those on board coming to the UK for work. All willingly, it is just some may later discover they had been trafficked. If I wanted to understand the stories behind the people coming to the UK - by choice or otherwise - I knew I would have to get that bus, earn the trust of those on board and hope they would tell me what I wanted to know. I knew it would be too dangerous to film openly as traffickers had used the route to bring their "merchandise" over, sometimes travelling with their victims to ensure their safe arrival. So, armed with a small camcorder and a couple of covert ones, I headed to Bucharest. The following morning I was taken by taxi to a car park on the outskirts of the city. A minibus would pick me up from there, I was told, take me to the other side of Romania, where I would meet a long-distance coach which would take me to my destination. The minibus driver wanted £165 from me for a one-way ticket to Glasgow. He insisted on being paid in pounds Sterling and told me they did this route three times a week. I climbed inside the Transit van. There were no windows in the back where I had to sit. The handles had been removed from the inside of the doors, the driver told me it was because people kept trying to get out as it was travelling. The next 10 hours were spent crossing Romania, stopping only to pick up people or parcels. I witnessed hundreds of pounds being passed over. Everyone I spoke to was taking this route for the first time. The men were going to work in factories or vegetable fields, car washes or construction. The women to work in hotels or care homes. Some to visit their husbands. Eventually we arrived in Cluj on the east of the country where we were to board the coach which was to be our home for the next three days. Waiting on its arrival was the first time I was able to speak with my fellow passengers. The first group I spoke to were going to Leeds, Luton, Southampton and London. Two were going to work in construction, one in a warehouse. The others in factories. A man who was going to work in a car wash told me he would be working six or seven days a week, 11 hours a shift. For that he would be paid £40 per day. He said: "It's very small eh? For a Romanian it is a very hard life here. "You work for £7 per day. It is a hard life. Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, this is the problem, we work too much. But you have to understand life in Romania. In Romania you work for £7 per day. "You have family, you have kids, so £7 is nothing. It's a very hard life." A construction worker told me he too would be working six days a week, 10 hours a day. For that, he would get £200. Others would be getting £3.50 an hour for vegetable picking. Most were told that accommodation would be provided by the people who were offering the work. They didn't know how many others they would be sharing with, although one man told me he suspected it would be many, as that was what had happened to others he knew who had come here before. The bus arrived shortly before 10 that evening. It was already filled with passengers as I got on board. I found an empty seat, it was cramped and uncomfortable. There was a toilet we weren't allowed to use. There were two drivers who rotated shifts so that the bus could drive through the coming days and nights. Loud music was played almost non-stop for the entire journey. Surprisingly there was an on-board entertainment system - a screen at the front of the bus. Even more surprisingly was the movie being played - Liam Neeson's "Taken", a film about human trafficking, albeit played mute with Romanian subtitles. The first night was hard. There was a bad smash in front of the bus as we crossed through Hungary. One dead, others badly injured. I watched the body being covered with a blanket. It was only when we stopped a few hours later that I was able to speak to other passengers. One man was going to work in a factory. He didn't know what his wage would be but said he had been to the UK before and paid a pittance. He was only returning because any money earned in the UK would be more than what he would get back home in Romania. "Do you feel exploited?" I asked him. "Yes, every day, yeah," he said. The next passenger I spoke to was just 19. It was his first time away from home and he needed to work so he could send money back to his family. He looked frightened and I asked if he was nervous. "A little", he told me. He had been offered a job as a waiter near Crawley. For a six-day week, 10 hours a day, he would be paid £118. For the week. He would be put in a flat with others. He didn't know how many. His English was almost perfect. He told me: "In Romania I work in IT and now I am going to be a waiter. It's kind of a big deal. I have no experience." He told me he had a cousin in the UK. I asked if he would be able to go to her for help if he needed. "No", he said, "My family is broken and so I have no-one here." We travelled onwards, through Hungary, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France. Each time we stopped, the young waiter would come and find me, talk to me about his life back home, his fear of being in the UK alone, and his sheer desperation at the situation he now found himself in. He warned me when some of the men in the bus, bored with hassling each other, had started to target me sexually. He would walk me to the toilets at the service stations so I wasn't alone. He told me about his family and became upset as the tiredness and reality of what he was doing began to take its toll. Finally, in the early hours of the third day, we crossed the Channel and were driven to a service station on the outskirts of London. It was five in the morning and a number of minibuses were waiting for us all. Like cattle, we were herded into different groups and told to get in the minibuses. I went and sought out the young waiter in the darkness, to say goodbye. But he had already boarded his minibus and I watched it pull out of the service station and drive off into the night. I got into the minibus bound for Scotland. As we headed north, I wondered which of my travelling companions - already clearly being exploited in the UK - would find out they've been trafficked. I hoped the young waiter wouldn't be one of them.

The UK will decide if it wants to stay in the EU in a referendum on 23 June. "Leaving the EU will have a much bigger effect on football than people think," said football agent Rachel Anderson. "We're talking about half of the Premier League needing work permits. "The short-term impact would be huge but you could argue it will help in the long term as it could force clubs to concentrate on home-grown talent." Some Leave campaigners, such as Brian Monteith of Leave.eu, argue that a post-Brexit UK could lower freedom-of-movement restrictions on the rest of the world which would "broaden the talent pool, not reduce it". Players with an EU passport are currently free to play in the UK. Those without must meet Home Office criteria, the most important being that they are established internationals for leading nations. Analysis of squads in the first two tiers in England and the Scottish Premiership has revealed a total of 332 players would fail to meet the current standards. More than 100 Premier League players would be affected with Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Watford facing losing 11 players from their squads, while Championship side Charlton Athletic would need to find 13 replacements. In fact, only 23 of the 180 non-British EU players currently playing in the Championship would get work permits - and most of those are former internationals from Ireland or Commonwealth nations with British passports. Remarkably, none of the 53 non-British EU players in the Scottish Premiership would qualify for a permit on the basis of their international career alone. That is the same situation for 63 non-British EU players in League One and 46 in League Two. The list of players potentially at risk of losing the right to play in Britain includes two of the undoubted stars of the Premier League season: Leicester City's N'Golo Kante and West Ham's Dimitri Payet, although both played and scored for France this week. West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady, the face of the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign, has already written to club bosses throughout the UK warning them a vote to leave would have "devastating consequences". Premier League boss Richard Scudamore made it clear in a speech to the Institute of Directors last year that his personal view was that Britain should stay in the EU, the world's largest trading bloc. However, the Premier League's public position is that EU membership is a matter for voters and it always works with "the government of the day". Privately, the league believes it is almost impossible to know what the situation regarding overseas players would be if the UK votes to leave. It is a stance shared by the Football Association. The government, for example, could bring in a quota system similar to former Fifa president Sepp Blatter's "six plus five" idea, or it could indeed open the possibility of doing bilateral deals with the likes of Argentina and Brazil to make it easier for their players to work here. Prior to this season, players without an EU passport were meant to have played in 75% of their national side's competitive games over the past two years. This only applied to nations ranked in Fifa's top 70. However, appeals were allowed for talented players from lower-ranked sides as well as players who may have missed international call-ups because of injury. The new rules, brought in after hard lobbying by the FA, were intended to strike a balance between a club's desire to hire the best available and the need for more openings for young British players. Dr Gregory Ioannidis, a senior law lecturer from Sheffield Hallam University, believes the rules could be relaxed should the UK leave the EU. If that happened, then he said he did not "envisage any problems for clubs". However, he added that it may be difficult for such an agreement to be put into place because footballers "are considered workers in law and it may be the case that they cannot be treated as a special category". Many experts think the work permit rules will be watered down. For example, non-EU countries like Norway and Switzerland have both made concessions to gain access to the single market. "I would be surprised if those work permit rules were not recalibrated," said Professor Raymond Boyle, from the University of Glasgow. The sports industry expert added: "Countries such as Switzerland simply make their own rules. My sense is that elite commercial sport will always have the clout to influence rules so that they benefit." What everybody agrees on, though, is that British football would be in for a period of flux as new rules were decided and clubs rebalanced their squads. "This could be a positive thing for home-grown players in the longer term," said leading agent Simon Bayliff. "The downside could be the value of the Premier League decreasing, as its attraction is the collection of foreign stars across many clubs. "I don't personally believe it will have a huge impact on the biggest names but it could have an effect on the general traffic of non-star international players, which may hurt the league's quality and attractiveness to foreign investors. "But all this depends on how we Brexit - and that is impossible to predict." 18 February 2013 Last updated at 16:17 GMT Pieces were detected around a frozen lake where a meteorite is believed to have landed. They say the space rock appears to be made of 10% iron. It's hoped research can help us understand more about the rare natural phenomenon which injured more than a thousand people. The court acquitted 63 other people of conspiracy and murder. The Sabarmati Express was attacked by a Muslim mob killing 59 people, mainly Hindu pilgrims. The attack led to some of the worst riots seen in India and left more than 1,000 people, mainly Muslims, dead. Gujarat's authorities were criticised for not doing enough to stop the riots. Those convicted will be sentenced on Friday. Security is tight across Gujarat and extra police have been deployed in case of communal unrest. All of those accused and convicted were Muslim. By Soutik BiswasBBC News, Delhi The Godhra train fire has been a matter of dispute between the Congress party and Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Investigations ordered by governments led by the two parties have contradicted each other on the cause of the fire. The BJP says it has been vindicated by the court's decision - it had always insisted that the fire was a result of a conspiracy by a Muslim mob. Though the verdict is likely to be challenged in a higher court, many in India are appalled that the tragedy has been used to score political brownie points. The attackers were said to have forced the train, carrying Hindu pilgrims from Ayodhya, to stop and then set fire to one of the carriages. "The court has accepted the conspiracy theory. It was not an accident," public prosecutor JM Panchal is quoted by the AFP news agency as saying. Whether or not there was a conspiracy to set the train ablaze or whether it was a spontaneous fire has long been the subject of dispute. An inquiry commission set up by the state government said in 2008 that the burning of the train was a "conspiracy". It examined more than 1,000 witnesses during a six-year period, found that 140 litres of petrol had been purchased as part of what it said had been a conspiracy to burn the train carriage. That commission also exonerated Gujarat's Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the deadly religious riots that followed the blaze. He was accused of failing to halt the religious violence and some opponents said he indirectly encouraged some of the Hindu rioters. But the commission dismissed these allegations. "There is absolutely no evidence to show that either the chief minister or any of the ministers in his council or police officers played any role in the Godhra incident," Justice GT Nanavati had concluded in his report. But Mr Modi was criticised in 2010 for his "partisan" stance by a separate Supreme Court panel which investigated the riots. It said he showed "discriminatory attitude by not visiting riot-affected areas in Ahmedabad where a large number of Muslims were killed," according to Tehelka magazine and AFP news agency. The inquiry commission's findings contradicted an earlier probe by retired Supreme Court judge Umesh Chandra Banerjee, who found that the coach fire was not deliberately started. He concluded in 2005 that the fire began by accident. He said there was evidence to suggest the blaze began inside the train and that it was not fire-bombed. "Daniel lives and breathes Bond," said the actress, who will reprise her role as Moneypenny in the new film Spectre, which comes out later this month. Time Out magazine recently quoted Craig as saying he would "rather slash [his] wrists" than make a fifth Bond film. Harris, though, said the actor's words had been "blown out of proportion". "It was not as he intended it," she told BBC News, claiming her co-star's "sense of humour… doesn't come across particularly well in print". Speaking at a promotional event for technology that features in Sam Mendes' film, she continued: "He's so dedicated to his craft and he loves playing Bond. "It's easy to take something that someone says in passing and blow it completely out of proportion. I think that's what's happened here, so I don't really believe those comments at all." Craig's remarks, made shortly after Spectre completed shooting in July, have ignited speculation over who will play Bond if the 47-year-old should relinquish the role. Damian Lewis, Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch are among those who have been suggested as potential successors. According to Harris, however, Craig is "the ultimate Bond" and "it wouldn't be Bond without him". Spectre, the 24th instalment in the official Bond series, will have its world premiere at London's Royal Albert Hall on 26 October. Harris, 39, said she had yet to see the film but had heard Writing's On the Wall, Sam Smith's chart-topping theme song. "I think that it's great and will have even more impact and meaning once it's put into context," she said. Harris stars in a new advertisement for a Sony camera and phone, in which she has a Bond-style adventure on London's South Bank. The advert was directed by Daniel Kleinman, who designed the title sequences for Casino Royale, Skyfall and all the Bond films in which Pierce Brosnan appeared. The Pirates of the Caribbean star said shooting the promo on London's South Bank had allowed her to make use of the stunt training she undertook for Skyfall. "It was great to be out there in the field on a mission and experience what it would be like to be Bond," she said. James McKenna scored the opener in the second minute, firing home low and hard from just inside the penalty area. Ryan Morris grabbed the second with a sensational volley from 25 yards which dipped over Aaron Hogg on 35 minutes. Joe McKinney picked up a through ball and shot into the net from inside the area for Ards' consolation goal on 37. The result moves Gavin Dykes' side up to ninth in the table ahead of Saturday's programme of five matches. Ards remain second, one point ahead of Linfield, who have two games in hand over the north Down club. The hosts had chances to extend their lead in the second half, but Ryan Mayse shot wide and blasted over the bar, while Johnny Lafferty's effort was comfortably dealt with by Aaron Hogg. For Ards, Keke's attempt was cleared away for a corner. The 27-year-old was sick during a gym session last week and was taken ill again later in the evening. "He's very worried because he thought it was an off day, and it might just be a virus that has hit him hard," Torquay manager Kevin Nicholson told BBC Sport. "But with all that's gone on lately in football with things like heart problems we couldn't take any chances." Verma joined Torquay on loan from Kidderminster in November and the deal has since been extended until the end of the season. "He's feeling fine now but the doctors have told him to do pretty much nothing, so he's bored out of his mind as he just has to rest until he's given the all-clear," Nicholson said. It is hoped Verma will get the result of his tests on Monday, but he will miss Torquay's game with Chester on Saturday, having also sat out Tuesday's FA Trophy draw with Macclesfield. "He was in a gym session and he was sick," Nicholson said. "The immediate reaction when that happens is the lads take the mick as he they thought he was broken in the gym, but it's not like him as he's a very fit lad. "He started immediately with headaches and then in the evening he collapsed when he went to go to the toilet. "He went to be looked at by the doctor the next morning and they couldn't get to the bottom of what it was after having all kinds of tests and since then he's been out of commission and he's had a few other tests." In December 2014, winger Courtney Cameron was taken to hospital by a teammate after suffering acute headaches and dizziness, which was later diagnosed as a problem with his teeth. Campaigners tried to save the Grade II-listed Siloh Welsh Independent Chapel in Landore, Swansea, which can hold more than 1,000 people. The congregation of 600 had dwindled to six. An 18-month campaign tried to attract other community users to make the building viable, but they have been forced to admit defeat. The final service included musical contributions, readings, prayers and a summary of the chapel's history. In the capital, Bogota, people took to the streets, hugging each other and singing the national anthem. The announcement is seen as one of the last steps before a full peace deal is signed, which is expected within weeks. The longest-running insurgency in the Western hemisphere left some 220,000 people dead and millions displaced. Thursday's announcement in Havana caps formal peace talks that started three years ago in the Cuban capital. But it does not mark the start of the ceasefire, which will only begin with the signing of a final accord. Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos has previously said he hopes to sign that by the end of July. The Farc in the 21st Century is a strange beast. Gone is the bipolar vision of the Cold War, and gone too are most of the group's original intellectual architects, many killed in combat. Today, somewhat anchorless, the rebels continue to go through motions of an armed insurgency but they know a new future is beckoning. They remain primed for war - machine guns by their beds, handguns under their pillows, all night lookouts keeping watch for an enemy that no longer seems to be searching for them. Read more: Preparing for peace Thursday's announcement included: "Let this be the last day of the war," Farc leader Rodrigo Londono, known as Timochenko, said at the announcement. Both sides agreed to let the courts rule whether a popular vote can be held in Colombia to endorse the deal, which was a promise made by Mr Santos. The president said at the ceremony that this was a "historic day". "We have reached the end of 50 years of death, attacks and pain," he said. "This is the end of the armed conflict with the Farc." The announcement of the Farc ceasefire dominated the headlines of the online editions of the main Colombian newspapers and other media outlets. Centre-left newspaper El Espectador featured extensive coverage of the news of the agreement and a banner headline, which reads: "The guns went silent" along a striking image of two guerrilla fighters in action. It also covered the key points of the deal as well as the history of the conflict. Conservative newspaper El Tiempo emphasised President Juan Manuel Santos's statement that the final agreement would be signed in Colombia, not Cuba. Medellin-based newspaper El Colombiano featured a commentary by former President Alvaro Uribe, who remains sceptical about the prospects for peace, saying "the word peace is wounded". One of the main national radio networks RCN ran a story citing Farc leader Timochenko saying: "We are going to do politics without arms." More about the rebels Both sides still need to establish how the peace deal in its entirety will be implemented, verified and approved. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and leaders of Latin American countries also attended the ceremony. The agreement was welcomed elsewhere, with the EU's foreign representative Federica Mogherini calling it "a turning point in the Colombian peace process". US Secretary of State John Kerry said that "although hard work remains to be done, the finish line is approaching and nearer now than it has ever been".

The move seeks to reverse Friday's ruling by a federal judge in Washington state. Visa holders from the affected nations have been scrambling to get flights to the US, fearing they have a slim window to enter America. Mr Trump's ban last week led to mass protests and confusion at US airports. There were further demonstrations on Saturday in Washington, Miami and other US cities as well as in a number of European capitals. Thousands of people turned out in London, with smaller protests in Paris, Berlin, Stockholm and Barcelona. Trump supporters staged some counter-protests in the US. Some 60,000 visas have been revoked since Mr Trump's executive order was issued. But Judge James Robart's temporary restraining order halted it nationwide with immediate effect. He found that legal challenges launched by two states, Washington and Minnesota, were likely to succeed. State lawyers had argued that the ban was unconstitutional because it denied people with valid entry documents the right to travel without due process. It also violated freedom of religion rights by appearing to target Muslims, they said. Mr Trump called Judge Robart's ruling "ridiculous", vowing to restore the ban. The ban envisages a 90-day visa suspension for anyone arriving from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The directive also suspends the US Refugee Admissions Programme for 120 days, and places an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees. The appeal against the suspension was formally filed by the US Department of Justice on Saturday. Mr Trump is named as one of the appellants in his capacity as president, along with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. The administration argues that the travel ban is designed to protect the US, and it is seeking an emergency stay that would restore the restrictions. Meanwhile, the US president took to Twitter to rage against Judge Robart, who has served on the federal bench since 2004 after nomination by President George W Bush. "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!" he wrote. Mr Trump later added in another tweet: "What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?" The president later predicted that the appeal would succeed. "We'll win. For the safety of the country, we'll win," he told reporters. On Friday evening a federal court judge in Seattle suspended the Trump administration's controversial immigration executive order. On Saturday Donald Trump tweeted his disapproval. And tweeted, and tweeted. He attacked the "so-called judge" who issued the ruling, prompting criticism that he was undermining a co-equal branch of government. He warned that "many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country". And he wondered why lawyers weren't "looking at and using" the decision of a federal court in Boston that did not suspend the entire order. On this last point, Mr Trump misunderstands how the US legal system works. No-one - not even a president - gets to pick and choose which court rulings to listen to and which to ignore. Rather, appellate courts - all the way to the US Supreme Court - are charged with reviewing the validity of judicial decisions and resolving any conflicts. Mr Trump's government lawyers are already setting that process in motion by appealing against the Seattle judge's decision. For now, the fate of Mr Trump's immigration order rests in the hands of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals - no matter how many times the president tweets. The state department has said it is reversing visa cancellations and US homeland security employees have been told by their department to comply with the ruling. Customs officials told airlines that they could resume boarding banned travellers. Qatar Airways, Air France, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa and others said they would do so. Travellers from the affected countries have been trying to use the window of opportunity by boarding US-bound flights on Saturday. Green Card holder Ammar Alnajjar, a Yemeni national, had to cut short a planned three-month visit to his fiancee in Turkey. He told the Associated Press he had paid $1,000 (£800) to return immediately. But there were also reports that a number of travellers were not allowed to fly to America. In Djibouti, east Africa, immigrants from all seven countries on the list were not allowed to fly, an immigration attorney was quoted as saying by AP.

The US justice department has filed a court motion against the suspension of President Trump's travel ban on people from seven mainly Muslim nations.

SNP group leader Stuart Bell claimed the Conservative and independent coalition had "gagged" other parties. The previous council administration did allow opposition groups to occupy some of its most senior posts. Conservative group leader Michelle Ballantyne said she felt that actually made their role less effective. "For the last five years we have had opposition positions on the executive," said Mr Bell. "For two years they were taken up and I think we had better decisions taken in those two years." However, he said the Conservative opposition at the time had subsequently decided to withdraw from the executive. "I do not think it is justified to remove the positions simply because the last opposition was ineffective," he said. "I think opposition will be gagged." Ms Ballantyne said she did not believe that would be the case. "We felt that it compromises the position of the opposition - far from giving them a voice, it actually neuters their voice," she said. "I think the opposition will find that they have a stronger opposition voice when they are not sitting on the executive. "They will have their own opinion on it. We are giving them, we think, a better position to work from - they obviously don't agree with us but time will tell."

A move by Scottish Borders Council's new administration not to include opposition members on its executive has come in for criticism.

Betty Goodchild told staff in Halesworth, Suffolk, she first went skating at Earl's Court in London when she was 12 years old. Carehome owners, The Partnership In Care (TPIC), set up an artificial ice rink at one of their homes in Risby, near Bury St Edmunds. Ms Goodchild said she had a "wonderful time." The nursing home group has been running coach trips to the rink in Risby from its other homes in Halesworth, Ipswich and Sudbury. It has about 300 residents, many of whom have dementia. They were able to sit in their own wheelchairs or use a chair designed for ice rinks. Emma John, resource manager at TPIC, said: "We always ask what people's wishes are for Christmas and this lady said she wanted to go on an ice rink again. "It's about the magic of Christmas and the opportunity for residents to take part." The nursing home also invited local schoolchildren to meet residents and skate.

Ministers in England are discussing ways to invest more money into care services for the elderly and disabled. Lib Dem health spokesman Norman Lamb called for a cross-party commission on social care to ask the public how much they are prepared to fund the service. "If you keep sleepwalking towards the edge of the precipice, real people will suffer," Mr Lamb said. Communities Secretary Sajid Javid will unveil spending plans on Thursday. Reality Check: Is social care getting more money? One option is to let them increase council tax beyond the extra 2% for which they already have permission, while another is bringing forward extra money they have been promised in 2019. This comes as fewer people are getting help from local authorities. Older people's services - representing the bulk of care - have been particularly badly hit. Spending has fallen by 9% in real terms over the past five years with local government blaming cuts to their funding from central government. The result has been an even larger drop - of over a quarter - in the numbers getting help in care homes, nursing homes and in their own homes for daily tasks such as washing and dressing. It has meant growing numbers having to go without help or pay for their own care - councils fund services only for the poorest, with those with assets of more than £23,250 expected to pay the full cost of care themselves. Regulators have warned these cuts have started adding to pressures in the NHS with A&E units said to be bearing the brunt. Old and frail patients are being admitted because of the lack of community support, which is also being blamed for the growing number of delayed discharges - cases where patients are ready to leave hospital but cannot. The BBC has been told that before the referendum Number 10 was considering plans for a cross-party commission to look at the costs of health and social care. David Cameron's team invited three former health ministers - Mr Lamb, Conservative Stephen Dorrell and Labour's Alan Milburn - to present their plan to the government. Mr Lamb said: "We went in and talked to them and presented them with a paper, then the whole run up to the referendum took over and we never got any response from that. "Then, of course, there's been a change of government but the need for this government to engage in this and for all parties to stand up to their responsibilities as well, to join a process, to ensure that we reach a once-in-a-generation settlement for the health and care settlement is absolutely fundamental." When asked what he would say to Theresa May's team, Mr Lamb replied: "Engage. Talk to us now. There is an urgency about this." You stay in your own home while getting help with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing and eating. average amount of care provided per week, by your council average paid per hour by your council, 2014-15 average paid per hour in your region if you pay for your own care, 2016 You live in a care home that provides round-the-clock support with everyday tasks. TBC pay for their own care You live in a care home which provides round-the-clock support for everyday tasks and nursing care. Depending on your medical needs, the NHS may contribute to your costs. TBC pay for their own care Savings, investments and income are assessed, along with the value of your home - unless you or a close relative live there. Ahead of last month's Autumn Statement there were suggestions the government would invest more money into social care, but it was not included in Chancellor Philip Hammond's announcements. However, ahead of the local government financial settlement for 2017-18, expected on Thursday, the Treasury is understood to be discussing ways in which funding could be increased. The prime minister's spokeswoman refused to comment on the speculation, but said an announcement would be made soon. And she added it was not "just about money", pointing to the wide variation in the delays being seen getting patients out of hospital from area to area. "There are other issues to be addressed," she added. 1.2 million people with care needs go without help 4 in 10 people in care homes pay for themselves 300,000 fewer people receive council-funded help than four years ago £100,000 or more spent on care by 1 in 10 people One option is to allow councils to increase the 2% precept they applied this year by even more in the coming years. The plan was to allow an extra 2% a year for the rest of the parliament, meaning an overall rise of 8% by 2019-20. But under the steps being considered is giving councils the ability to get to 8% sooner or perhaps even go above the 8% limit. The second option is to use the Better Care Fund. That is a pot of money councils share with the NHS, which is worth £3.9bn this year and is due to increase by £1.5bn in 2019. Many have argued the extra funding should be brought forward. John Sibley's mother is 89 and suffers from dementia. She was a resident in a care home until she fell and fractured her leg in June, when she was admitted to hospital. Although she has been ready to be discharged since July, a shortage of care home places and a lack of personal funds mean she is still staying in a windowless hospital room. The 65-year-old, from South Gloucestershire, says: "We don't need a 2% precept; we need hundreds of millions of pounds. "We need a two-tier system again with homes run by either the council or NHS, and other homes run privately. "I just want her to get somewhere where she can have a life with some dignity and respect; some quality of life." Martin Green from Care England, which represents care providers, said that funding problems in the industry were "reaching a crisis point". "Research shows that about 40% of care services will no longer be viable in the medium term, so this is a huge number of care services that will be lost, some companies will definitely go bankrupt," he said. NHS: Budget controlled by NHS England and pays for hospitals, GPs, district nursing and mental health care. Services are provided free at the point of need. Care: Budget controlled by councils and pays for care home and nursing home places as well as support in the home for tasks such as washing and dressing. Services are means-tested so only the poorest get help towards their costs. Conservative councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said that increasing the precept "would not plug" any funding gap. She said the £383m raised from a previous 2% precept was eclipsed by larger costs, such as the £600m cost of the national living wage increase. A key problem with the precept system, she added, was variation in the amount of money raised between wealthy and poorer areas, creating a "postcode lottery". Labour's shadow social care minister Barbara Keeley said the crisis has been "caused by savage Tory cuts to the budgets of local councils". "The right solution would be for Theresa May to admit the Tories have got it wrong and deliver the needed funding for social care," she said. "Asking taxpayers and councils to pick up the bill for their failure is no substitute for a proper plan." Kirsten Johnson's Cameraperson looks at her own career, which has included working on Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and Citizenfour, the film about whistleblower Edward Snowden. Festival juror Nino Kirtadze said it was "expansive and intimate, formally ambitious and morally humble". Johnson showed "real bravery... to turn the camera on herself", she added. The grand jury at the annual international documentary festival also gave a special mention to Shimon Dotan's documentary about Israeli settlements in the West Bank, The Settlers. Kirtadze said it "stood out [as] a psychological spiral in storytelling that drags you deeper and deeper into the history of this very delicate issue". Other winners included Sonita, a film about an Afghan refugee living in Iran, which took the Youth Jury Award; a Chilean short about Alzheimer's, I'm Not From Here, which was awarded the Short Doc Award; Seed, a story about humans' 12,000 year relationship with seeds, which won the Environmental Award. Festival director Liz McIntyre said it had been "an extraordinary year of brilliant creativity and originality [with] an awe-inspiring display of talent, both home grown and from around the world". Unemployed Paul Wright, 53, fears he may be forced to camp in nearby woods, despite "serving Queen and country". WSCC said Mr Wright had been asked to move the caravan after complaints. If Mr Wright refuses, the council will move it and keep it in a safe compound for a certain time, after which it will be dismantled, a WSCC spokesman said. Mr Wright said he was in the Parachute Regiment for nine years, which included two tours of Northern Ireland. "When I was in the Army quite often we lived rough because of the jobs that we did, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that a man should have to live like this after serving Queen and country," he said. "They're not looking after the people that have looked after them. There's an awful lot of ex-servicemen in awful situations, it's not just me." He said he had been told the caravan would be removed from the lay-by on the A259 in five days. "The council have told me they can't offer any accommodation - the only place I can sleep is in the lay-by in the trees," he said. But on Friday, WSCC said Chichester District Council was helping Mr Wright to find alternative accommodation. The spokesman said: "We understand Mr Wright is in a difficult position, but we have had to take action in this case following complaints. "We have been working with the district councils to assist him. "The issue is subject to ongoing court proceedings therefore we are unable to comment further." The fire broke out at about 20:20 BST on Friday, at Charles Trent Yard in Poole, Dorset, the fire service said. Plumes of smoke could be seen for miles, and 60 firefighters brought the blaze, which gutted 170 vehicles, under control at about 05:00 BST. Dorset Police assisted in securing the area and there are no reports of any casualties, investigators are looking into what caused the blaze. Opposition leaders have called for a boycott after a number of protesters died in clashes with security forces. Under the current constitution, the president cannot seek re-election because he is over the age of 70 and has already served two terms. President Sassou Nguesso first came to power in 1979. He is now coming to the end of his second seven-year term. He won the last election 2009 with nearly 79% of the vote in a poll boycotted by half the opposition candidates. Tens of thousands of people took part in a peaceful demonstration against the referendum in September. Four people died on Tuesday, when security forces dispersed further protests in the capital Brazzaville and the economic capital Pointe-Noire. Protesters told the BBC the security forces used live ammunition and that army helicopters were deployed. Several activists and opposition leaders reported arrests and intimidation. The outcome of Sunday's vote and the Congolese people's response to it will be watched closely in the region, as presidents in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda are also expected to try to run for third terms in forthcoming elections, the BBC's Maud Jullien reports. There have been months of unrest in Burundi, where President Pierre Nkurunziza was re-elected for a controversial third term in July. Africa's longest-serving leaders: The arrogance of power The Mobutu and Gaddafi effect Among the changes being voted on are scrapping the presidential age and two-term limits. Texting and internet services were cut and public meetings banned ahead of the referendum, residents said. The opposition have been campaigning under the slogan "Sassoufit", a pun on the French expression for "that's enough" (ca suffit). He replaces David Willetts as MP for the safe Conservative seat, securing a majority of 13,920 over UKIP. The 31-year-old was born in Britain and grew up in York, where his Chinese-born parents ran a takeaway. Mr Mak was the first member of his family to go to university, studying law at Cambridge. He subsequently went on to a career in corporate law and ran his own business. Asked by a reporter from the BBC Chinese service how he felt at being the first British MP from the Chinese community, Mr Mak said his priority was to represent the people of Havant. In a pre-election interview with Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, the politician was keen to downplay the importance of his family's origins: "This is modern Britain. "Having a Chinese-looking person stand for parliament and becoming an MP is not a story," he said. "It's no big deal." In a 2012 interview with photographer Mike Tsang, Mr Mak said his parents were originally from rural Guangdong in southern China. They had made huge sacrifices for their children and were "a great inspiration", he said. According to the 2011 census, ethnic Chinese made up 0.7% of the population of England and Wales. While Mr Mak is the first Chinese or East Asian elected to the House of Commons, he is not the first member of a UK parliamentary body from those ethnic groups. Anna Lo - born in Hong Kong - served in the Northern Ireland Assembly, but has stood down, partly because of racist abuse. Social entrepreneur Lord Wei (Nat Wei) is a Conservative member of the House of Lords. Britain's first South Asian MP, Dadabhai Naoroji, was elected in 1892. More than 20 have expressed an interest in the East Pier site which has been vacant since Stena Line moved its operation to Cairnryan three years ago. Dumfries and Galloway Council and the ferry operator have worked together on a regeneration strategy for the area. Any development is expected to include a mix of commercial, retail and residential use. There is also the potential for a casino licence for the area, as well as a major revamp of the wider Stranraer waterfront, including expansion of the current marina. The local authority said it had had discussions with a number of interested parties to assist them with their inquiries. The final submission date for possible schemes has been set for the end of October. Officers were called to Orford Ness just before 11:00 BST by the National Trust, which reported the discovery at its nature reserve. A police cordon is in place on the beach and an investigation is under way. The death is currently being treated as unexplained and the body has not yet been identified. But Welsh results are now the same as England as a whole and better than most of its regions. Top A* and A passes were up slightly (0.2%) to 19.4% and better than northern and midland English regions. Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said it was "another strong performance". Teaching unions have warned comparing Welsh and English results is increasingly difficult due to significant changes to exams. There are wide-ranging reforms to qualifications in Wales and other parts of the UK under way. Analysis: GCSE results in Wales in detail 'Worst' GCSEs school sees improvement GCSE results in England show significant decline GCSEs 2016 - a user's guide What parents really mean about exam results Entries in French were down again this year while the number taking maths in the summer was affected by the start of a new course last September, with the first pupils due to take exams in November. Ms Williams, on a visit to Cefn Hengoed school in Swansea, said: "Teachers and pupils can be proud that Wales has maintained our record pass rate. I will continue to focus on raising standards and ambitions for excellence across all our schools." David Reynolds, professor of education at Swansea University, said results have varied only slightly over the past few years. "There have been similar results and you could say the system is maxed out if you like," he said. "But that's not true. If you look at the range of variations in schools, there are huge differences still between the top and bottom performing schools, suggesting there is still room for improvement." New Welsh-specific GCSEs started being taught in schools and colleges last September but they will not be awarded until next summer. More new qualifications will be rolled out over the next two years. At the same time there are major changes being introduced in England, and next summer GCSEs there will be graded 9 to 1 rather than A* to G. Teachers said care needed to be taken when looking at the drop in science results with around 4,000 15-year-olds and under - who would have done BTEC qualifications in the past - now included. National Association of Head Teachers policy director in Wales Rob Williams said the results came with the biggest policy changes in education in a generation already under way. "It's really difficult to compare," he said. "You have very diverging policies between England and Wales and there are changes in GCSE in both the countries and there are more coming in. "Reflecting over the years is going to be much, much harder. For us in Wales it's going to be more important looking at the next three, four or five years and look back at how we're improving ourselves." The NUT's Owen Hathway said: "That we have seen the record high pass rate sustained yet again, especially against the backdrop of major education reforms, is a fantastic achievement. It is also pleasing to see the pass rate for the very top grades is up". Qualifications Wales chief executive Philip Blaker added: "The overall GCSE results for Wales this summer are stable, with some small shifts which can be considered normal variation. "In some subjects, performance has improved, such as French, geography and history whereas, in others it has fallen, for example ICT, religious studies and Spanish. "This is to be expected since cohorts vary from one year to the next, in both size and ability." Rebecca Williams, from teaching union Ucac, said: "Comparisons, both with previous years within Wales, and with other nations in the UK, are going to become increasingly difficult - indeed futile, as the changes work their way through the system." She said the Pisa international test results - due again by the end of this year - could become an increasingly important benchmark. "It's possible that - for better or for worse - external measures such as Pisa will take on greater importance in measuring educational performance in a comparative context," she added. The Conservatives said they were worried about a stagnation in A* to C passes, with the results offering "a mishmash of reasons to be both optimistic and downbeat". This remarkable rise attests to the military's predominant power and to the field marshal's ability to harness that power for his own and for his institution's purposes. Key to his political skill has been his secrecy coupled with expert role-playing that duped his opponents into thinking he was an unambitious professional officer while simultaneously appealing to the Egyptian public as the man to lead them out of the post-Mubarak political morass. Who then is this rather mysterious officer and how and for what purposes is he likely to rule Egypt? First and foremost, Field Marshal Sisi is the product of the military high command under former President Hosni Mubarak, as his career trajectory and personal alliances suggest. The "political track" in the Egyptian military is the army and within it, the infantry, the corps which produced both the late presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat. Mr Mubarak was chosen by Sadat as his vice-president precisely because as an air force officer he did not command the loyalty of forces required for a coup. After succeeding Sadat following his assassination in 1981, Mubarak ultimately settled on the lacklustre infantry general, Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, to preside over the officer corps - more or less as a CEO - rewarding loyalists with promotions and patronage generated in the military's sprawling economy. Field Marshal Sisi was one of Field Marshal Tantawi's favourites, who doled out plum assignments to this rising infantry officer. He was provided the necessary foreign training, contacts and polish by stints at the UK's Joint Services Command and Staff College (JSCSC), at the US Army War College, and as military attache in Riyadh. His credentials as a commanding officer were burnished by appointments as battalion, brigade and division commander and chief-of-staff within the mechanised infantry and by his final operational command as chief-of-staff of the Northern Military Zone, headquartered in Alexandria. Having established the professional basis for military leadership and the personal connections within the officer corps so essential to it, he was then shifted to the yet more vital post of deputy head of Military Intelligence, the organisation with primary responsibility for watching over the officer corps. It was from that position that Field Marshal Tantawi recruited him into the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), through which the former was ruling Egypt after having agreed to the overthrow of Mr Mubarak in 2011. Not listed among the original 20 officers on the Scaf and then its youngest member, Field Marshal Sisi was obviously brought on board by Field Marshal Tantawi because of his personal loyalty and political talents. In 2006, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi was sent to the US Army War College to study for a master's degree. In a research paper, called Democracy in the Middle East, he warned that it was "not necessarily going to evolve upon a Western template". He argued that "democracy, as a secular entity, is unlikely to be favourably received by the vast majority of Middle Easterners, who are devout followers of the Islamic faith". Rather, he wrote that it "cannot be understood without an understanding of the concept of the Caliphate", the system of joint political and religious rule in Muslim lands in the first six centuries after the Prophet Muhammad's death. That period reflected the values of "fairness, justice, equality, unity and charity", he explained. However, he did not talk about implementing Islamic law. He also predicted that "there is no guarantee that the police and military forces will align with the emerging ruling parties" in nascent democracies. He immediately became a key public face of the Scaf, handling such controversial matters as the "virginity tests" inflicted by the military upon female demonstrators they had arrested. Yet more important was Abdul Fattah al-Sisi's behind-the-scenes role as the Scaf's contact man with the Muslim Brotherhood, also assigned by Field Marshal Tantawi. Widely known as a devout Muslim by virtue of his conservative family life, fondness for using Koranic phrases in his everyday speech, and by his advocacy of Islam to Western audiences, Field Marshal Sisi set about convincing the Brothers that he shared many of their views and was an officer they could trust. In this he was hugely successful. President Mohammed Morsi turned to him in August 2012, when looking for an officer to replace Field Marshal Tantawi as commander-in-chief and defence minister. He agreed, on the proviso that there be no victimisation of Field Marshal Tantawi, his Chief-of-Staff General Sami Enan, or any other officers close to them. In the event, those key officers who were retired off were given honours, plum assignments or both, and a further 70 or so officers older than the then major general - hence of higher rank - were also retired, thereby placing him in effective as well as nominal control of the military. So Abdul Fattah al-Sisi rose to the top not by overthrowing his seniors, but rather by looking after them. President Morsi and his Brotherhood colleagues clearly believed that Field Marshal Sisi was their man, an image that he cultivated, while simultaneously assuring the military that he was protecting its interests. He was deferential to Mr Morsi in public and on those occasions where the media had deemed the two men disagreed, the military chief seemed to give way. Yet on vital security interests in the Sinai and along the Suez Canal, he pre-empted the president by issuing a military decree, demonstrating to his officer colleagues that he would not subordinate the military's vital security role to the Brothers. That impression was further reinforced by the 2012 constitution, drafted by an Islamist-dominated assembly, which assigned more power and privileges to the military than it had enjoyed in any previous constitution dating back to the first in 1923. A month prior to Field Marshal Sisi's "coup" against President Morsi on 3 July 2013, the Brotherhood's spokesman was going out of his way to extol the military and his leadership of it. Khairat al-Shatir, the organisation's deputy general guide, financier and eminence grise, was sufficiently confident of the power relationship to rudely lecture Field Marshal Sisi on his responsibilities. To the very end Mr Morsi clearly believed that the field marshal would stand by him, dismissing as he did the minister of defence's message on 1 July that the president had to take account of the will of the people or the military would be compelled to act. Although the Brotherhood and its leadership was obviously delusional in this and other respects, its failure to appreciate Field Marshal Sisi's objectives speaks of his ability to conceal them and to dupe his opponents. Lest there be any doubt about Field Marshal Sisi's independence from his original base in the Tantawi high command, personnel moves subsequent to overthrowing Mr Morsi should dispel them. His very first appointment on the day he dispatched the president to jail was that of General Mohammed Farid al-Tohamy to head of General Intelligence Service (GIS), a key post into which Mr Morsi had some months earlier placed a loyalist. Gen Tohamy, eight years older than Field Marshal Sisi, had acted as his mentor, first in the mechanised infantry and then in intelligence. A Mubarak-Tantawi loyalist, Gen Tohamy had been retired from the military into the post of Director of the Administrative Oversight Authority, the government's chief anti-corruption organisation and one used primarily to cover up the misdeeds of those in power, including military officers. Much hated by the Brotherhood, which had begun a campaign against him, Gen Tohamy was charged by Field Marshal Sisi with orchestrating the crackdown on it, which resulted some two weeks later in the massacre of some 1,000 demonstrators at two protest camps and the subsequent designation of the Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation. In retrospect, it seems incredible that the Brothers should ever have trusted Field Marshal Sisi, the known protege of General Tohamy, protector of the Mubarak-Tantawi networks of corruption, and strong advocate from his position in intelligence of a hardline policy against Islamists. The degree to which Field Marshal Sisi is both a product of the military and continues to depend upon it is reflected in his nascent presidential campaign. The army's Department of Morale Affairs is responsible for managing its public image and boosting goodwill towards troops. When Field Marshal al-Sisi was appointed armed forces chief in 2012 by an Islamist president, it released a documentary that highlighted his piety. After Mr Morsi's overthrow, the department produced a video for soldiers and riot police featuring a cleric who likened opponents of the military takeover to an early Islamic sect that some scholars considered to be infidels, and thus permissible to kill. It also encouraged a cult of personality around the field marshal that led to his face appearing frequently on state television and in state-run newspapers, on posters and billboards, and even on memorabilia ranging from chocolates to underpants. Ahead of January's constitutional referendum, the department released music videos encouraging a "yes" vote by children's, women's and men's choirs, and even the belly dancer Sama Elmasry (pictured). General Samir Farag - whose military career was also in the mechanised infantry and intelligence, who was appointed by Mr Mubarak as governor of Luxor and head of the Cairo Opera House, and who has been accused of extensive corruption in those roles - is rumoured to be a key campaign aide, as is former Assistant Defence Minister for Financial and Administrative Affairs, General Mahmoud Nasr - a man who might be thought of as "book-keeper" of the sprawling Mubarak-Tantawi patronage networks. Thus far the campaign has been run out of the military's Department of Morale Affairs, which draws upon the military's own off-budget resources to finance the films, campaign posters, and presumably rent-a-crowds that have helped generate the groundswell of support for the field marshal. Mohammed Hassanain Heykal, Nasser's confidant and able defender of his dubious legacy, including the role of the military, is thought to be a key campaign adviser. Amr Moussa, former foreign minister under Mr Mubarak and then head of the Arab League, was called in by Field Marshal Sisi to oversee the drafting of the military-backed constitution, passed by referendum in January. Mr Moussa, who was known to be close to the Scaf, and at one time was considered by it as their possible candidate for president, has endorsed Field Marshal Sisi's bid for the presidency. The principal theme of the campaign so far is counter-terrorism, while the field marshal's rhetoric is heavily laced with references to Islam. He has declared, for example, that Egyptians will have to "put their trust in God, the army and the civilian police to take Egypt to freedom, stability and progress". His economic policy is shrouded in ambiguity. Negotiations with the IMF have been suspended, as conditions that organisation would impose for a loan would be political suicide for any candidate associated with them. But negotiations with crony capitalists in exile have been resumed, presumably to lure them and their money back to Egypt. A minimum wage for public servants has been declared, as has a stimulus package more generally. In the meantime the economic crisis intensifies, as reflected in rising unemployment, poverty, inflation, and government debt, power outages, capital flight and an absence of tourists. For all of this Field Marshal Sisi has avoided any direct blame, skilfully shuffling that off onto Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi and his hapless cabinet, which resigned on 24 February. In an interview given in the United Arab Emirates before the announcement, he had himself evinced displeasure at the Beblawi government's performance. One poll suggested that two-thirds of Egyptians approved of Field Marshal Sisi and his performance, with another indicating that only a fifth approved of Mr Beblawi and his government. The field marshal's popularity is due to that of the military, which continues to be the most trusted institution in the country, with around 90% of Egyptians expressing their support for it; to his message of restoring stability by virtue of a crackdown on Islamists; by his skilful projection of an upbeat officer image, replete with snazzy headgear, combined with that of a devout Muslim harbouring traditional respect for women and Christians; and by his careful avoidance of substantive policies, especially those of economics. That this message, which avoids truly critical matters, can be so popular and believable attests in part to his skill in delivering it, which rests both on his military background and on his traditional upbringing in Cairo's al-Gamaliyya district, the very heart of historic, Islamic Cairo venerated by novelist Naguib Mahfouz and in the imagination of most Egyptians. He is the very living example of what traditional Egyptian values and practices can produce. And even if he is ultimately revealed as a "fahlawi", a skilled deceiver of others, that too could be positively interpreted as a sign of his Egyptianness and suitability for a leadership role. So what sort of a president might Field Marshal Sisi make? Again there is an element of duplicity in the projected presidential image, which is that of a new, "believing" Nasser. But he cannot be a new Nasser, despite his probable efforts at emulation and Nasser's daughter Hoda's assertion that he will be - except in one vital respect, which is that of military authoritarianism. He cannot be a new Nasser because of profound change in both the external and internal contexts. The Cold War is over and Egypt's regional role much diminished. But Field Marshal Sisi is seeking to rekindle nationalist pride, probably in part to offset inevitable domestic problems. His dealings with Russia, including a well-timed trip to Moscow in mid-February to complete an arms deal, were intended as part of the launch of his presidential campaign, evoking memories of Nasser's rejection of the much hated West in favour of the Soviets. But in reality any arms deal with Moscow will be more in the way of political cover for the Egyptian military's continuing dependence on the US than an assertion of real independence. Egypt's vulnerable economy precludes any substantive power projection into the region, which in any case is now populated with states comparatively much more powerful than they were in Nasser's era. As for the domestic economy, again the shadow of Nasser appears to loom over Field Marshal Sisi, who is already identifying the new era as one of grand projects, just as Nasser had done with the Aswan Dam and various other undertakings. In this case the project is the proposed development of the Suez Canal area, which is being ballyhooed as the driving force behind Egypt's bright future as a leading emerging economy. While development of this region makes sense economically and from the security perspective, it will be hobbled by the same governance issues that drag down Egypt's overall development, even though the Chinese and Russians may buy into it out of their own security calculations. Moreover, the canal project has been chosen in part because that region is the very epicentre of the military's influence, and indeed its land ownership. So here is the opportunity, at least in Field Marshal Sisi's view, for the military to demonstrate its management prowess, while generating further revenues for its own, off-budget economy. Indeed, since he became the de facto ruler of the country, the pace of government contracting with military-controlled companies has significantly increased, suggesting both his move to cement his control of the officer corps as well as his plans for the future economic role of the military. On the overthrow of President Morsi The armed forces cannot just turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the movement and call of the Egyptian people. On US criticism and suspension of aid You left the Egyptians. You turned your back on the Egyptians, and they won't forget that. On protests against the interim government I urge the people to take to the streets... to prove their will and give me, the army and police, a mandate to confront possible violence and terrorism. On the military's political ambitions (Aug 2013) This is not the rule of the soldiers, nor is there the slightest desire to rule Egypt. On dreams (Dec 2013) I saw President Sadat, and he told me that he knew he would be president of Egypt, so I responded that I knew I would be president too. In sum, the military under Field Marshal will expand its influence yet further into the economy and state, more or less as it did under Nasser, and in this it has every chance of success. The three institutional components of the deep state - the military, the ministry of the interior, and the General Intelligence Service - are already under his control, something which none of his predecessors ever totally managed. Nasser, Sadat and Mr Mubarak all had to build up the security and intelligence agencies under the interior ministry in order to balance off the military, whereas Field Marshal Sisi has no such need. The counter-insurgency campaign currently under way draws upon both military and security forces, again a novel approach reflecting the field marshal's dominant position in both. As for the directly political domains of parliament and political parties, Field Marshal Sisi does not have the need, as did Nasser, to formulate a single party to crowd out opposition, including in parliamentary elections, and to burnish his image. At present, he is relying on the military, other elements of the deep state and Mubarak-era technocrats to manage his campaign, thereby suggesting he hopes to rule as a sort of presidential version of King Abdullah II of Jordan or King Muhammad VI of Morocco, balancing off the various political parties and forces under him while relying on the deep state for the essence of his rule. In this way he can use nominally independent political forces and actors as political shock-absorbers, blaming them for failures while also manipulating them so they not coalesce in opposition to him. At present, many of these political actors seem content to accept this role. When and if they do not, he will still have the option to cobble together a political party under his tutelage, although this effort would suggest either weakness or overweening ambition on his part. Field Marshal Sisi is an enormously talented, manipulative, and highly politicised officer who has managed to rescue the military and the deep state more generally from potential destruction at the hands of revolutionaries or Muslim Brothers. He was charged with that role by the high command of the Mubarak-Tantawi era, he has executed it, and is now reaping personal rewards for his sterling performance. The danger is that his ambitions, combined with the institutional interests of an overly large, inadequately trained, arrogant and corrupt military will lead to political, economic and foreign policy over-reach, much as a similar combination did under Nasser. Dr Robert Springborg is Visiting Professor at the Department of War Studies, King's College, London. So much so that he decided he needed "do something different", heading down to the UK's busiest train station with a sign asking passers-by for a job. It worked. Alfred was inundated with offers and started work as a PR manager within weeks. Now he's back at London Waterloo, but with a different sign. This time it has "Now I'm hiring" printed on it. "I went back to the exact same spot," he told Newsbeat. "I've already had more than 90 CVs to go through." The 22-year-old was offered a job at a recruitment consultants shortly after his stunt last August. Now he says he wants to give something back. "More people are going to university and a degree is less relevant," he said. "I wanted a degree to mean something again. "Tuition fees went up the year or two after I went to uni, so kids are paying a lot of money and still struggle to find a role. "Their friends who didn't go to university are probably on a bigger salary than them." Alfred graduated from Coventry University with a degree in marketing, but found permanent work tough to come by. "It's depressing getting those rejections. I wasn't crying or nothing, but depression was creeping in. "I live 30 seconds from Waterloo, so I thought it's only got to work once and it did. "I got offers for interviews pretty much straight away. I got home and I had over a thousand retweets and messages. "Barcelona picked it up, Manchester United tweeted me. I was offered an internship there, but I just couldn't relocate with the salary being offered, which was gutting, even though I'm an Arsenal fan!" Alfred hopes returning to the station five months on will inspire other graduates to try something different when looking for work. "Really know how to sell yourself on your CV, " he said. "Make sure it's clear what you can bring to the role. Call the company and show them what you're all about. "It has changed my life. "People say I don't wear a suit anymore so I must be successful." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube First Minister Carwyn Jones said he was "disappointed" although pleased the prime minister "has listened to our arguments and has sought to deliver a fairer settlement". Welsh secretary David Jones said Wales had been cushioned from the full extent of cuts it could have faced. Plaid Cymru said it was less than feared but "devastating news". At the time of the EU budget deal in February, the Welsh government said it feared the agreement could mean a reduction of ??400m for Wales. It now says the cut will be ??60m. David Jones said the UK government has decided to re-allocate EU structural funds for 2014 to 2020 to minimise the impact of reductions in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It represents a 5% cut, compared to the last six years. Under this deal, Wales will receive a total allocation of around ???2.145bn, which Mr Jones said was "a substantial uplift" of ???375m compared to the amount it would have received under the EU formula. "What is important now is that the Welsh government uses this money wisely to help deliver strong and sustainable growth for Wales," he added. By Betsan PowysPolitical editor, Wales It's a cut - disappointing say Labour, devastating even say Plaid - but both accept it could have been so much worse. The prime minister has told the leaders of the devolved nations that he has limited the cut in their European regional aid to 5%, providing them with the money they need to deliver strong, sustainable growth. It means Wales loses out on ??60m, not the ??400m the Welsh government had feared - a sign that David Cameron has listened to Welsh government arguments says Carwyn Jones but still disappointing. Plaid Cymru says the cut is devastating, while in Scotland the SNP have welcomed the announcement as victory for common sense. According to Welsh Labour MEP Derek Vaughan, the original plans would have meant a budget cut of 22% for areas such as west Wales and the valleys. Mr Vaughan - a member of the European parliament's budget committee - said that efforts to lobby the EU Commission and UK government had been "largely successful". The final settlement of this and other EU funding pots would mean that Wales will be "in a position to benefit more than ever from assistance available at a European level." David Cameron said in a letter to the Welsh government that the decision "will provide Wales with the funds it needs to deliver strong, sustainable growth and I hope it will carry your support." First Minister Carwyn Jones expressed his disappointment that there was a drop in funding, but welcomed the decision to limit the scale of the cuts. "The prime minister has proposed that all parts of the UK should take a 5% cut in their Structural Fund budgets. This will deliver a more equitable settlement, but it still represents a reduction of around ??60m in our budgets over the next funding period. "That said, we are pleased that the prime minister has listened to our arguments and has sought to deliver a fairer settlement than that originally proposed. "We hope that the UK government will now move quickly to agree these arrangements with the European Commission so that our new programmes can start on time." Plaid Cymru MEP Jill Evans has described the reduction in EU funding as "devastating news for our nation" and accused Labour MPs from Wales of aiding and abetting the overall cuts in the EU budget. "As a net beneficiary of EU membership, parts of Wales receive structural funds for all-important fields such as agriculture and education - funding which is vital for some of our poorest communities," she said. "Some of these are not only the worst off areas in Wales but throughout the whole of Europe. "Areas such as west Wales and the valleys are new set to miss out on vital EU cash that could have helped strengthen and develop our economy." In a speech on Friday, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will promise extra investment and help for under-pressure services. The package includes plans to recruit 5,000 new GPs and another 5,000 support staff, including practice nurses. Financial incentives may be offered to those willing to work in the most deprived areas. Those who have left the profession or want to work part-time will be given more help, Mr Hunt will promise. But he will say that in return, GPs need to get on board with his plans for weekend opening, which involves groups of practices pooling together to share the extended hours. It builds on plans set out at the start of this year for NHS England to make the profession more attractive as the NHS is struggling to recruit new doctors. More than one in 10 GP training places remained vacant last year. A survey of more than 15,000 GPs by the British Medical Association before the general election in May suggested a third were considering retiring in the next five years and one in 10 was thinking about moving abroad. Mr Hunt will urge GPs to work with him. "I want to be upfront: this is not about change I can deliver on my own," he will say. "If we are to have a new deal, I will need your co-operation and support. "Within five years, we will need to look after a million more over-70s. "Put simply, if we do not find better, smarter ways to help our growing elderly population remain healthy and independent, our hospitals will be overwhelmed." Nick Triggle: Why are GPs so angry? Reality Check: Have GP services got worse? Dr Chaand Nagpaul, of the British Medical Association, said GPs were "ready to work with the government". But he warned seven-day services may not be the right idea to push forward with. "Pilots of seven-day routine working are increasingly demonstrating a low uptake of routine weekend appointments," he said. "Therefore, to make the most of the limited GP workforce and precious NHS resource, the government should focus on supporting practices during the day and further develop the current 24/7 urgent GP service so that patients can be confident of getting access to a quality GP service day and night." Mr Key, who on Monday called an election for 20 September, said the vote would be held within three years. The current flag shows the Southern Cross constellation and includes the Union Jack - the UK's national flag - in one corner. Mr Key said the flag represented a period of history from which New Zealand had moved on. "It's my belief... that the design of the New Zealand flag symbolises a colonial and post-colonial era whose time has passed," he said in a speech at Victoria University. "The flag remains dominated by the Union Jack in a way that we ourselves are no longer dominated by the United Kingdom." "I am proposing that we take one more step in the evolution of modern New Zealand by acknowledging our independence through a new flag." Mr Key said that he liked the silver fern - popularised by national teams including the All Blacks - as an option, saying efforts by New Zealand's athletes gave "the silver fern on a black background a distinctive and uniquely New Zealand identity". But he said he was open to all ideas and that retaining the current flag was "a very possible outcome of this process". A group of cross-party lawmakers would oversee the vote process and a steering group would seek public submissions for new flag designs, he said. Mr Key said there was no move to cut ties with the British monarchy. "We retain a strong and important constitutional link to the monarchy and I get no sense of any groundswell of support to let that go," he said. It is not clear to what extent there is support for changing the flag. One poll late last month showed only 28% of respondents wanted to change the flag, compared to 72% who were happy with the current version. Representatives of service personnel have argued that troops have fought and died under the existing flag. "The view of the RSA is there is no need to change the flag,'' Don McIver, national president of the Returned and Services Association (RSA), was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency. The opposition Labour party has said it supports the process. "We're not going to differ or divide from the government on this issue. It's a broad constitutional issue, if the country wants a debate about the flag so be it, but it's not the primary issue for this election," leader David Cunliffe said. The polls have been scheduled so that a new government will be in place by the G20 meeting due to take place in Australia in mid-November. Mr Key's National Party currently has a sizeable lead over the Labour opposition, polls show. Anthony McCallen, 65, was chaplain at the now defunct St William's Children's Home in East Yorkshire, where James Carragher, 75, was head. The pair denied a total of 87 sex offences against children at the home between the 1970s and the 1990s. Leeds Crown Court heard Carragher, a convicted sex offender from Merseyside, took boys naked swimming late at night. The jury heard they both preyed on boys aged between 10 and 16 years old. In total, 18 men gave evidence describing how they were indecently "touched". One victim stormed out of court after telling the jury the pair had visited him as he slept and sexually assaulted him. Another witness spoke of how boys were taken swimming "after lights-out" at the home and told not to "wear any swimming trunks". Following the verdict, Judge Jeffrey Marson QC praised members of the jury for the way they conducted themselves. He said: "I've never ever in many years of doing this had a jury who had to consider so many charges, it is way beyond the norm, and they are some of the most difficult charges to deal with". Carragher, who was jailed for seven years in 1993 and 14 years in 2004 for sex offences, pleaded not guilty to 50 counts of indecent assault and 12 other serious sex offences. McCallen, also of Merseyside, who was convicted of abusing two boys in the 1990s, denied 18 indecent assaults and seven other serious sexual offences. After a 10-week trial and 11 days of deliberations, the jury found Carragher guilty of 21 indecent assault and three serious sex offences, but he was cleared of a further 30 charges. McCallen was found guilty on a total of 11 charges including a serious sexual offence. He was acquitted of eight other charges. But the jury was unable to reach verdicts on 13 charges and were discharged by the judge. The pair are due to be sentenced on 4 January. St William's in Market Weighton, which closed in 1992, was owned by the Diocese of Middlesbrough and run by members of the De La Salle Brotherhood. In a statement, the diocese said it hoped "those affected by the abuse can move on with their lives". "We condemn any behaviour which harms young people. "The behaviour of Anthony McCallen whilst he was a priest was a betrayal of the trust that was placed in him from the Diocese of Middlesbrough." The 23-year-old admitted the Football Association charge and was also fined £700 and was warned about his conduct. Manager Adam Murray said the club "did not, in any way, condone" the incident. But he said Yussuf was guided by stewards and Argyle substitutes because the toilets were a fair distance away. "We are very disappointed by the length of ban received," Murray added. An FA statement said: "Adi Yussuf has been suspended from all domestic club football for five first -team competitive matches. "It follows a breach of FA Rule E3 by the Mansfield Town player in or around the 30th and 53rd minute of the league fixture against Plymouth Argyle on 13 February 2016." Mansfield boss Murray added: "Adi has been disciplined by the club, fully reminded of his responsibilities in no uncertain terms and warned of his future conduct in such circumstances. "Whilst the football club does not, in any way, condone the isolated 'act' which has previously been reported, it should be borne in mind that Adi has stated that he was given alleged guidance by both a steward and unused substitutes from Plymouth Argyle as to where to perform this act, which was at the back of the Plymouth stand and out of public view. "At this time Adi was an unused substitute and was warming up on the touchline at the far end of Home Park and, furthermore, the water closets at this ground are a fair distance away (in the home dressing room). "Without in any way excusing the player's act, Adi did follow instructions by three Plymouth employees, at a venue which was unfamiliar to him." Yussuf joined the Stags last summer and has scored five goals in 23 league appearances, but all of those have come as a substitute. He has played a further four games, but made just one start. Bates hit 119 not out off 72 balls, surpassing the previous highest score of 91 by Dane van Niekerk for Loughborough against Surrey in 2016. Vipers' 180-2 was also the highest team total in the tournament's history. Lightning were 134 all out in reply, Bates adding to her earlier hundred by taking 3-15 with the ball. She also took a brilliant catch to dismiss Beth Langston, but it was with the bat that she starred, reaching her century off 63 balls and hitting 15 fours and four sixes. Her efforts helped defending champions Vipers record their second win in two group outings, while Lightning have lost their first two group games. But Mark Major, one of the world's leading lighting designers, believes we're at the early stages of a lighting revolution. Special Report: The Technology of Business Digging for nuggets of gold in data Why tiny cameras are big business Making OATs (Old Age Technologies) TV's white spaces connecting rural Africa "Changing technology makes me feel very clearly that this is as much of a revolution going on now as perhaps when gas went out and electric lighting came in," he says. But what is it that makes something beautifully lit, and what role does technological innovation play in illuminating both our buildings and our state of well-being? Mr Major's work - along with his late partner Jonathan Speirs - is award-winning, credited with enhancing the atmosphere of already iconic structures. It is arguably Speirs + Major's most distinctive work, unmissable to Londoners, that displays this like none other: St. Paul's Cathedral. "It was a great privilege to work on that project," he says. "Probably one of the toughest assignments we've ever had. It took about five years in its execution to design and have the lighting fully delivered." The result is a building swathed in soft light - giving the building a sense of serenity in the hustle and bustle of Britain's capital city. Inside, it was an even bigger task. "When you're dealing with not just a heritage building, but a heritage building of that nature, you realise it was never really designed to be seen under artificial light in quite that way - it would have been seen in candlelight. "You're placing, in a way, a new interpretation on the building and its architecture after dark, and you have to be very careful how you do that." As well as tremendous buildings - Speirs + Major also work with more practical locations such as offices or restaurants, and even our streets. "On a very basic level," Mr Major says, "Well-designed lighting in the streets of cities doesn't just keep you safe and secure, but also can really help to create a pleasant and interesting atmosphere. "It can bring out the colour and texture of the landscape, it can sort of direct you to places, it can play a number of different roles in the city that are more than simply enabling us to see - good lighting makes our cities more legible. "And I hope, as a result, more enjoyable." He envisions a future where streets light up as you walk down them, but get dimmer when no-one's around, saving energy. Not only this, but the light can be used to change the very mood of the street depending on the occasion - a delicate skill. "We all know the difference between a romantic candlelit supper for two, with that soft, warm, glowing light focal that makes your partner look wonderful, and sitting in a fast food restaurant under fluorescent lighting and what a grim experience that can be." This type of flexibility would not be possible with traditional filament bulbs. Advancements in light emitting diode (LED) technology means lighting specialists are able to come up with far more complex arrangements. "We've moved a long way from candles and gaslights," Mr Major says. "LEDs are going to fundamentally revolutionise the way we work with light. "It's smaller, it's cooler, and the quality of LED lighting has improved so much. Warmer light, broader spectrum, better skin tones, better reproduction of colour - just the overall quality." But there are downsides with this revolution, he argues. "The more light we bring into the world, the greater some of the challenges become. "Research is beginning to rapidly prove that you can have too much of a good thing - we all know about light pollution." And it's not just human beings who would be affected, Mr Major says. "Many creatures are adapted to the night - so by bringing along a lot of light we can really impact on their feeding habits, on their breeding patterns and all sorts of things. "So we can enrich our lives, but we have to be quite careful how we work with this industrial material." The Chelsea and England defender had denied making the comments to the Queens Park Rangers player during a match at Loftus Road last October. The 31-year-old told Westminster Magistrates' Court he was merely repeating what he thought Mr Ferdinand had said to him as they traded insults. The FA has said its inquiry into the incident will resume next week. Mr Terry had described himself as "angry and upset" over the claims. It was alleged he had insulted Mr Ferdinand in a Premier League match, describing him as "black" and using extreme sexual swear words. Most computers will open PDF documents automatically, but you may need Adobe Reader Download the reader here Disputed remarks (Warning: contains repeated use of very strong language) Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle said he had heard a great deal of evidence to show Mr Terry was not racist. In his written judgement, he said that after weighing the evidence it was "highly unlikely" that Mr Ferdinand accused Mr Terry of racially abusing him however he said it was possible that Mr Terry believed at the time that an accusation had been made. Mr Riddle went on: "The prosecution evidence as to what was said by Mr Ferdinand at this point is not strong. "It is therefore possible that what he [Mr Terry] said was not intended as an insult, but rather as a challenge to what he believed had been said to him. "In those circumstances, there being a doubt, the only verdict the court can record is one of not guilty." Mr Terry did not deny using the word "black" and swearing at Mr Ferdinand. His defence was that he had thought Mr Ferdinand was accusing him of using the words, and was simply repeating them when he was caught on camera. He was backed in court by Chelsea team mate Ashley Cole. Mr Terry, who was widely seen as one of England's best players in this summer's European Championship, jerked his head downwards as the verdict was given. There were cheers in court from his supporters. By Dan RoanBBC sports news correspondent This trial was not just about what one player said to another - and why - in a fiercely-contested Premier League match back in October. It was seen as a landmark case around the national sport's efforts to improve race relations, tolerance and respect, raising serious questions over what is deemed acceptable behaviour on the field of play. Although John Terry was found not guilty of racial abuse, this was still a highly embarrassing week for football. The trial exposed the unedifying reality of the professional game; a world littered with foul language and crude insults. The FA's Respect campaign, designed to ensure top players are role models for the millions of youngsters who look up to them, has suffered a major blow. Terry will move on from here - able to resume his career - but football faces a major challenge to recover from one of the most troubling years in the game's history. Is racism a grassroots issue? (Warning: contains repeated use of strong racist language) He did not comment to the waiting media as he left court but his lawyer, Dan Morrison, said outside: "The court has today acquitted John Terry of all charges. "He did not racially abuse Anton Ferdinand, and the court has accepted this." Following the verdict, an FA spokesman said: "The FA notes the decision in the John Terry case and will now seek to conclude its own inquiries." Bruce Buck, chairman of Chelsea Football Club, said: "Chelsea Football Club notes and, of course, we respect the decision of the magistrate today. "We are pleased John can now put his mind to football, go back to training and do what he has been doing for many years." Anton Ferdinand is on the way to Hong Kong with his QPR team mates for a pre-season tour. Leaving court, his father Julian Ferdinand told waiting reporters: "I have nothing to say to you at all." Elaborating on his judgement, Mr Riddle said Mr Ferdinand was brave to give evidence, calling him a "believable witness". He explained that it was not for him to decide whether Mr Terry was a racist, and that his only role was to ascertain whether the offence was carried out. Mr Riddle said that any discrepancies in his account were "understandable and natural". He also said it was understandable that Mr Terry was so keen to argue he does not hold racist beliefs, adding: "His reputation is at stake." Alison Saunders, Chief Crown Prosecutor for London, defended the decision to bring the case to trial. She said: "The very serious allegation at the heart of this case was one of racial abuse. "It was our view that this was not banter on the football pitch and that the allegation should be judged by a court." Ms Saunders pointed out that the magistrate agreed Mr Terry had a case to answer when his defence moved to have the prosecution thrown out earlier in the week. Of the subsequent acquittal, she added: "That is justice being done and we respect the chief magistrate's decision." The case led to Mr Terry being stripped of the England captaincy by the FA. England manager Fabio Capello then resigned in protest. But the broad lines of the fight were drawn many months ago. And the places where there were gaps in the campaigns were also obvious then: how much would Labour really cut in government to sort out the books? And how would the Conservatives really save £12bn from the welfare budget? So far, there is no sign whatsoever that the two main parties will answer those significant questions in the next five weeks. If you are a voter who has the audacity to want to know? Well, it seems that might just be tough luck. It is not unusual in campaigns for political parties, particularly in opposition, to be well, slightly sketchy on detail. People in my job spent much of the 2010 campaign asking the Conservatives what "further and faster" meant in terms of how they would get rid of the deficit. They kept their answers firmly up their sleeve until after the campaign. But with the election looming so very close, this silence doesn't help the stalemate. Both sides are deeply, deeply reluctant to distract from their central message, and are playing to their base. On Wednesday, the Conservatives released the names of 100 business people, many of whom have donated money to the party who, guess what, support their plans for the economy. Labour are promising to legislate quickly to get rid of the worst kinds of zero-hours contracts where staff aren't guaranteed shifts and, by implication, wages. The letter and the zero-hours announcement are important campaign moves. But neither are surprising. The caricature is big corporations versus the ordinary worker, or Goliath versus David, or the powerful and influential versus the hard-working less well off, with both parties as stuck in that narrative as the polling numbers are stuck in a numerical rut. But despite the noise of the campaign so far, nothing much looks like moving votes. Why? We are a long, long way from the era when politicians were fighting over the centre ground. One senior Conservative told me, shaking their head: "It is pathetic, everyone is playing to base, everyone has given up the centre." A key Labour figure put it a different way, describing the campaign as two "parallel elections". However, that same source still believes they are playing to the centre ground. It is just that the centre ground, in their view, has moved. But as strategists scratch their heads over the polls refusing to budge much beyond the margins of error, isn't it entirely possible that those two things are connected? If the two main parties have more or less deserted the familiar centre, should we be surprised that it doesn't look like there will be any significant shifts of voters flocking to them? One senior politician shrugged their shoulders disappointedly at what the main leaderships are offering right now: "There is nothing inevitable about the idea of the end of big majorities, it's just that we are not offering voters very much that's worth going for." The risk perhaps is that both main parties could look like they are talking only to themselves and their existing supporters - in a campaign where they want to avoid answering hard questions, avoid saying anything unexpected, and avoid any surprises. Add to this the determination of all of the parties not to publish their manifestos until well into April and this election might end up being characterised by a lack of ambition. A lack of ambition in campaigns designed to make sure core voters turn up, rather than attracting the new in any significant numbers, and a lack of politicians' faith in their own ideas that makes them reluctant to share their full plans until late in the day, if at all. Again and again, we hear voters around the country saying they want politicians to tell them what's what. It is naïve to imagine that doesn't have risks of its own. But as both of the main parties concentrate on gingerly carrying their core voters like a Ming vase to the finish line, their hands are too full to able to reach out to anyone else. So what chance is there the two big parties will be able to break out of the stalemate? Maybe only if they are willing to break this relative silence first. PS: The delay in publishing manifestos is not just a point for the political nerds. Manifesto commitments are not only important for the public to be able to scrutinise. They also give civil servants vital guidance on how parties wish to govern, and if a party does win power, the House of Lords is not able continually to block legislation from becoming law. if it has been part of a party's manifesto.

William Shawcross, Charity Commission chairman, told the Times that the watchdog should oversee practices such as street fundraising - by so-called "chuggers" - if self-regulation failed. He said the death of poppy seller Olive Cooke, 92, had highlighted the issue. Mrs Cooke killed herself in May after receiving hundreds of charity letters. Her family said this was not to blame. Following her death, the government commissioned a review by Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary organisations. Mr Shawcross told the newspaper: "If he concludes that self-regulation by charities cannot work, then government would have to consider whether the Charity Commission should regulate fundraising." An inquest last month found that Mrs Cooke, from Bristol, killed herself after suffering problems with depression and insomnia. Mr Shawcross described what happened as "horrible". "The plethora of stories of people being deluged by mailings and harassed by endless telephone calls on behalf of charities are intolerable," he told the newspaper. "Charities must listen to what people want and, more importantly, do not want." He said that if statutory regulation was introduced, charities would be banned from using high-pressure tactics and repeatedly targeting individuals. "There is a dilemma for charities," he said. "They have to raise money... but they mustn't be aggressive." Mental health charity Sane said it welcomed Mr Shawcross's comments. "We believe that donors should be treated with the same confidentiality and respect as our beneficiaries," Sane's chief executive Marjorie Wallace said. Earlier this month Prime Minister David Cameron said that charities should be forced to draw up written agreements showing how vulnerable people will be protected from aggressive fundraising tactics. The changes will be included in amendments to the Charities Bill. Mr Cameron said the actions of some fundraisers were damaging the reputation of the charity sector. The Charity Commission registers and regulates charities in England and Wales.

Charities could face criminal sanctions unless they stop aggressive fundraising tactics, their regulator has warned.

But both firms said they expected to meet sales goals stated previously. Nestle reported organic growth of 2.3% in the first three months of the year, boosted by Asia and Africa. At Unilever, owner of Dove, Ben & Jerry's and other household brands, underlying sales increased 2.9%, lifted by higher prices. Unilever's total sales, which include the effects of mergers, sales and currency, were 13.3bn euros (£11.1bn), up 6% year-on-year in part on exchange rate factors. The Anglo-Dutch firm, which rebuffed a takeover by US rival Kraft Heinz in February, said the quarterly growth vindicated its long-term strategy. Unilever stung into action by Kraft Unilever: Profile of a consumer goods giant Chief executive Paul Polman said: "The first quarter shows growth once more ahead of our markets." "This reflects our continued investment in both innovations and brand support and reconfirms the strength of our long-term sustainable compounding growth model." After spurning Kraft, Unilever announced a plan to cut costs and sell or spin off its struggling spreads business, which includes Flora and Stork. Excluding that unit, underlying sales were 3.4%, Unilever said. The consumer goods giant also highlighted appetite for products such as air purification brand Blue Air in China and new products, such as chocolate-topped pints of Ben & Jerry's. The firm also raised its prices, a move that led to a row with supermarket Tesco in the UK last year. Analysts said Thursday's report pointed to a positive future for Unilever. The firm said it expects to deliver sales growth of 3% to 5% for the year. "Unilever have been pushed by the Kraft Heinz approach into a more radical pace and scale of change than they had originally chosen for themselves," Steve Clayton, fund manager of the HL Select equity funds, wrote in an analyst note. "We think the group has enormous potential to steadily boost returns whilst compounding sales over time." Nestle, known for its KitKat chocolate bars, Purina pet food and Nescafe coffee, reported total sales of 21bn Swiss francs (£16.44bn), growth of less than 1% from the first quarter of 2016. That number was hurt by the impact of currency fluctuation and sale of an ice cream business. KitKat maker Nestle misses forecasts as profit falls Nestle says will cut sugar in chocolate by 40% Nestle said it still expects to meet its 2% to 4% organic sales growth target for the year. The Swiss company highlighted the strength of its skin care products and of Nespresso, which is gaining traction in North America. The firm also said Nescafe pricing was up in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. "The leap year comparison and other seasonal effects made the start of this year particularly challenging," said Nestle chief executive Mark Schneider. "We were encouraged by the growth in Asia and the resilience of consumer spending in Europe." The 30-year-old striker fell out of favour at the club under the previous management, following a series of well-publicised off-field misdemeanours. Agbonlahor came off the bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Birmingham - his first appearance for Villa since March. "He's played in the big league. I'd be foolish to discard him," said Bruce. "If we can get him right, he can be as good as any striker in this league," added the Villa boss, who said after his appointment earlier in October that the door was not shut on any player at the Championship club. Bruce had already made it clear that another of his supposed problem players, Jack Grealish, still had a future at Villa Park. Grealish was selected for his Bruce's first game in charge against Wolves on 15 October, in which he picked up a three-game suspension that ruled him out of the trip to St Andrew's. But Bruce sprang an even bigger surprise by bringing Agbonlahor back into the Villa squad for the first time in seven months for Sunday's Second City derby. Having seen his side pegged back by David Davis' 71st-minute equaliser after Villa midfielder Gary Gardner's first goal for the club, a lively Agbonlahor showed a lot of clever touches in a 20-minute cameo appearance. "You only had to watch him to see what he's capable of," said ex-Birmingham and Hull boss Bruce. "He's been in a dark, horrible place and, for what he's done in the past, he's paid a high price. "We've got him on a programme that he's only two weeks into, but he's working very hard. He's spent more hours on the training ground than I have over the last two weeks. "We're not getting carried away but these are the first little shoots of recovery. The rest is up to him." Bruce will have winger Grealish available again for Villa's next game at home to Blackburn Rovers on 5 November, but he looks like being without midfielders Albert Adomah and Leandro Bacuna. Adomah limped off with a dead leg while Bacuna missed the Birmingham game, for which he was replaced by Ashley Westwood, and may be out for up to three weeks with a "tweaked groin" suffered in training. From next week Babcock Dounreay Partnership will be called Cavendish Dounreay Partnership. The consortium is overseeing DSRL's work decommissioning Dounreay, an experimental nuclear power complex on the north Caithness coast. The site's original buildings such as its dome are to be demolished by 2025. The rebranding follows the decision of Babcock International Group, which has a 50% stake in the parent body organisation, to call its civil nuclear business unit Cavendish Nuclear. The other partners in the consortium, CH2MHILL and URS, as well as the rest of Babcock International Group, are unaffected by the change. The BBC understands Sir Jeremy Heywood has said any ban lasting longer than six months could be discriminatory and may be cut to a "few weeks or months". David Cameron is expected to set out his goals in more detail next week. They are still expected to include the four year ban on tax credit claims. But BBC's Newsnight understands legal advice from the European Commission is thought to have recommended this would amount to discrimination of non-British migrants and be illegal. Mindful of the advice from European officials, the Cabinet Secretary has told ministers to revise down expectations of what can be achieved from EU renegotiations in relation to limiting access to tax credits. Sir Jeremy is understood to believe the government has three options. Action on migrants benefits is the most important of the policies the prime minister will next week put to Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, in a long-awaited letter. Last November David Cameron made stopping working migrants from receiving benefits before they had been resident in the UK for four years a red line for Britain staying in the EU. In summary: EU negotiations David Cameron says he has a mandate to pursue EU reform following the Conservatives' general election victory. The PM wants to renegotiate the terms of the UK's membership ahead of a referendum by the end of 2017. He has said he will campaign for Britain to remain in the EU if he gets the reforms he wants. What Britain wants from Europe EU vote: When, what and why? Osborne: UK can get 'best of both worlds' At the time, he said: "I will insist that in the future those who want to claim tax credits and child benefit must live here and contribute to our country for a minimum of four years. "If I succeed, I will... campaign to keep this country in a reformed EU. If our concerns fall on deaf ears… then of course I rule nothing out." It is known that officials in the European Commission in Brussels have cautioned against the British government expecting to win the four year ban on tax credits for EU migrants to Britain. In recent months, David Cameron has come under pressure to reveal his requests after other European countries complained they did not know what measures the prime minister wanted changing. He will now set out his initial demands in a letter next week ahead of the summit of European leaders in December. Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, told BBC Newsnight that restrictions on access to benefits was Downing Street's "most important" demand. "They made that demand as they see it as a more moderate request than their initial idea to have quotas on numerical limits on EU migrants coming into the UK," he said. "Under pressure from Angela Merkel, the PM backed down on that, and came up with this four year demand instead. "The trouble is it's illegal because it would discriminate against EU citizens on the basis of their nationality. "The legal experts say that if you go for, say, a one or two-year residency qualification it's not much better than four years - it still could be seen as discriminatory. However, when you go down to months rather than years it would be much easier to get away with, and I don't think the British would have too much of a problem getting away with that rule". But Raoul Ruparel, from the think tank Open Europe - which campaigns for EU reform, told Newsnight: "If David Cameron comes back with a ban of less than year or two he's going to have a very hard time selling that to the British public, and it may even lead to people voting out." A spokesman for the Cabinet Office declined to comment. The Dragons came close to beating the Severn Stars on Monday, but finally lost out 59-50 at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff. The defeat was their ninth of the season and leaves them bottom of the Superleague table with three points. "We are disappointed with the result," Dyke said. Having beaten the Sirens at home to record their first win of the year, spirits had been high in the Dragons' camp, but Dyke says they have to regain their levels of consistency if they are to return to winning ways. "We keep saying we need to be consistent, but we did some really good things," added Dyke. "We just need to do it for longer periods of the quarters. It was a very physical game, so I think our change of direction with short-and-sharp play and our through-court attack was really good. "We'll take that into the game against Bath." The Dragons go on to face Manchester Thunder on Saturday, 29 April before playing Hertfordshire Mavericks on Monday, 1 May. Peter Capaldi has announced he is stepping down from the lead role in the BBC sci-fi series at the end of the year. Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler, said it would "feel like a snub" if the role didn't go to a woman. "I've always supported the original format but I don't know where they can go from here," she told the BBC. "I think it would be great [to have a female Doctor] given the spirit of the world at the moment. I think it would be timely". But she said taking on the role herself was too much responsibility. "I don't know," she said. "It's a lot of work. It would be a lot of time in Cardiff." Piper was speaking at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards in London where she won the award for best actress for her role in the play Yerma at London's Young Vic. Piper, who played a young woman driven to extremes by her desire to have a child, will reprise her role at the same theatre in July and August. Capaldi, who plays the 12th Doctor, will return for a new series of the show in April, with his final episode shown at Christmas. His final series also marks the departure of lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat. Moffat has previously suggested a future regeneration of the Doctor could be a woman, saying: "I think the next time might be a female Doctor. I don't see why not." In recent series, Michelle Gomez played Missy, the first female incarnation of The Doctor's nemesis The Master. The bookies' favourites for the next actor to take over the role of the Time Lord are James Bond star Ben Whishaw and former IT Crowd actor Richard Ayoade. Olivia Colman, who has been working with new Doctor Who boss Chris Chibnall on his show Broadchurch, is also a popular choice with fans.

The Red Rose county could not add to the one point gained on the opening day at Canterbury as the home side piled up 570-8 before declaring. Skipper Northeast hit two sixes and 14 fours in his 139 and shared a stand of 183 with Darren Stevens (92). Jordan Clark took 3-87 for Lancashire, who were 25-0 when rain ended play. The visitors only need to draw to be certain of Division One cricket next season, but they could still do so even if they lose the game, providing they score at least 350 in a maximum of 110 overs, to earn four batting bonus points. Northeast, who was dropped twice early in his innings, passed 1,000 runs for the season when he reached 77, and went to his hundred by striking three fours and a six off successive deliveries from spinner Simon Kerrigan. The slow left-armer (2-95) later gained a measure of revenge by having him stumped, having previously had Stevens caught at deep square leg by Haseeb Hameed after the all-rounder had hit a six off the previous ball. Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also foreign minister, took the unusual step of calling Dan Shapiro to his office. It comes after Israel summoned ambassadors from countries which voted for Friday's resolution. The reprimands came after Israel vowed to take retaliatory steps for what it called a "shameful" act by the UN. The measure, which harshly criticised Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, passed when the US abstained instead of using its veto. Israel has accused the US, its closest ally but a frequent critic of settlements, of engineering the vote - a charge Washington has denied. "From the information that we have, we have no doubt that the Obama administration initiated it, stood behind it, co-ordinated on the wording and demanded that it be passed," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. "Friends don't take friends to the Security Council," he said. The resolution - the first since 1979 to condemn Israel over its settlement policy - said the settlements had "no legal validity" and constituted "a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-state solution". Mr Netanyahu and President Obama have had a difficult relationship during Mr Obama's two terms and Israel had feared that Washington would take such a measure in the final weeks of Mr Obama's presidency. President-elect Donald Trump tweeted that the vote was a "big loss" for Israel which "will make it much harder to negotiate peace", vowing "we will get it done anyway". Mr Trump, whose intervention last Friday helped get a similar draft resolution withdrawn, promised that "things will be different" at the UN after he takes office on 20 January. Mr Netanyahu ordered his foreign ministry to summon the ambassadors of 10 countries which voted in favour of the resolution and which have embassies in Israel. The reprimand on Christmas Day, when most embassies are closed, is unusual and a sign of the seriousness with which Israel is taking the matter. In remarks on Saturday night, Mr Netanyahu said Israel would work to get the resolution rescinded, adding that allies in the US Congress and the incoming administration had promised to "fight an all-out war" against the measure. He said he had already halted Israeli funding to five UN institutions "that are especially hostile to Israel", and warned of further steps to come. In the wake of the vote, Israel recalled its ambassadors from New Zealand and Senegal, which both put forward the resolution, and cancelled planned visits to Israel by the foreign ministers of Senegal and Ukraine, which had voted for the text. The issue of Jewish settlements is one of the most contentious between Israel and the Palestinians. More than 500,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land the Palestinians want for a future state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Many Ukrainian commentators see it as a blow for the rights of Crimean Tatars like Jamala, while Russian social media is full of denunciations of a "politicised" result. 'Historic morning' In a poignant coincidence given that Stalin's deportation of the Crimean Tatars was the topic of Jamala's song, Sunday marks Ukraine's annual official commemoration of the victims of Soviet-era political repression. News coverage is more solemn and briefer than one might otherwise expect, although 5 Kanal news channel greeted viewers with "Good morning! This is an historic morning for Ukraine. Eurovision is ours again, thanks to Jamala". The popular Segodnya daily dubs the "dramatic final moments" a "battle" between Australia, Russia and Ukraine. Zerkalo Nedeli weekly, like many other news sites, registers the maximum points that voters in Ukraine gave Russia's Sergey Lazarev, "despite Russian aggression in the Donbass and annexation of Crimea". The pro-Russian Kiev daily Vesti sees it as a positive sign that Russian televoters also gave Ukraine's entry high marks. The zn.ua website is not alone in highlighting the British Guardian newspaper's front-page picture of Jamala yesterday. It praises the paper for saying her song deals with "both the deportation of the Tatars and the current situation in Crimea". And the Ukrayinska Pravda news site headlines its story with Jamala's own remarks on the deportations: "I would rather the horror had never taken place, and that this song had not been written. That would have been best". 'Putin's first defeat' Ukrainian social media users from the president down congratulate Jamala on her win, while many pause to consider the Crimean dimension. Rock star Svyatoslav Vakarchuk is delighted that Jamala won on his birthday - "the best present I could have". MP and journalist Mustafa Nayyem says Europe gave "Ukraine victory in the fairest and most elegant way, by depriving the Russians of hope at the last moment, in a calm and cool manner - the same Russians who took away the motherland of this daughter of the Crimean Tatar people". Some like journalist Andre Alexin joke that "now is the time to invade Crimea", and historian Volodymyr Viatrovych hopes that Ukraine will stage Eurovision-2017 in the Crimean city of Sebastopol, urging the "Ukrainian armed forces and Nato to start preparing for the festival now". Crimean Tatars in exile are overjoyed with Jamala's win. Activist Lenur Islyamov sees it in a European context as the "first defeat for Putin, and a crushing one". One dissenting voice is Ruslan Baalbek, the deputy prime minister of the pro-Russian government in Crimea. He accuses Ukraine of persuading Europe that a Russian win would be a "disaster", so that "Russian citizenship now blocks the path to first place". He says all Crimean Tatars would have celebrated Jamala's win "if her song hadn't had political overtones". 'Budget hole' Some bloggers worry that hosting Eurovision again will put a further strain on Ukraine's finances, and encourage corruption. "Hurrah! Jamala just won us a hole in the state budget!" writes the author of the Khuliya Tetushko blog, and Sergey Naumovich congratulates Kiev city administration on winning the chance to "distribute the investments". The News24 TV channel dismisses another major concern - security - about Ukraine hosting Eurovision-2017, saying "it doesn't matter where next year's Eurovision will be held, in Lviv, Odessa or Kiev. Wherever it is, we will extend our warmest welcome to Europe". 'Lazarev our winner' Pro-Kremlin television channels in Russia all insist they were robbed of victory by the new system of combining jury with televotes. The official Rossiya 24 news channel says "TV viewers gave Russia victory", but alleges that the new voting rules "allowed the competition organisers to amend the results as they saw fit". Russian social media is full of disappointment and much anger at what users see as a political result. The Russian-language hashtag LazarevOurWinner topped Twitter trends this morning, reflecting the broad mood of defiance. "I don't believe in Eurovision any more," declares blogger Dmity Braun, whose much-retweeted post goes on to say "politics robbed Russia of victory for a second year running". But some opposition supporters think Russia should be relieved at losing, given the cost of hosting Eurovision. "We'll save some money at least. We haven't saved up any for hosting the 2018 World Cup yet," says the popular spoof account MidRossii in another widely-retweeted comment.

Mr Wilson claims it would suit Sinn Féin's agenda to prevent increased public spending in Northern Ireland and described the current situation as "all a bit cack-handed". Mr Brokenshire has suggested the £1bn was "for a new executive to see that we get local politicians making decisions" and that "there will be a whole host of decisions to take should that not happen". Mr Wilson insists calls for the NI Secretary to clarify his position are meaningless as he believes the original deal still stands. The Conservatives said on Thursday night that it wants the "additional funding identified in the agreement to go to a new executive", but if it proves impossible to establish devolution the party, in signing the agreement, "has recognised the case for the higher funding Northern Ireland needs". In a separate story in the newspaper, Sinn Féin dismissed a DUP claim that it is using the Irish language as an excuse to avoid the restoration of power-sharing as "ludicrous". The DUP's Edwin Poots had said the proposed Irish language act was a "useful tool" for Sinn Féin to avoid the hard decisions of government. Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan said his party is "absolutely committed" to the return of the executive and that if the DUP did not believe them they should "call our bluff" by agreeing to an act and "the other rights-based issues which are outstanding". The Irish News leads with the story of a gruelling pilgrimage by a former Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) star who has been diagnosed with a terminal neurological condition. Former Antrim captain Anto Finnegan, who has Motor Neurone Disease (MND), travelled 90 miles of the Camino de Santiago to highlight the condition. Mr Finnegan was joined by his wife Alison and two friends on the trip and said one of the tougher routes was chosen with a purpose. "Living with MND on a daily basis is really challenging, not just for the person with the condition but for the people around you," he said. "We wanted something which mirrored the challenge of living with the condition." The newspaper also reports that youths have targeted a south Belfast apartment block just over a week after it was damaged by an Eleventh night bonfire. Criminal damage was caused to the entrance of the building's car park hours after a meeting on Wednesday night to discuss the impact of the blaze near Sandy Row. The paper also notes that the police have removed bonfire materials blocking a street in a nationalist area of north Belfast. 'Anti-internment' bonfires are lit in some nationalist areas to mark the anniversary of the introduction of internment on 9 August 1971. Safety concerns had been raised about the bonfire in Victoria Parade in the New Lodge area being built near blocks of flats and a children's nursery. The death of a former estate agent makes the front page of the Belfast Telegraph. Philip Johnston was arrested in April 2005 as part of an inquiry into the affairs of murdered loyalist Jim Gray. Charges of money laundering were dropped in August 2006 but Mr Johnston, who was forced to sell his six offices, said the incident had left him financially ruined. The 51-year-old's body was found at his home on Bangor's Bryansburn Road on Wednesday. Police say they are not treating his death as suspicious. The Daily Mirror also covers the story and says friends were shocked by his death adding that he had never recovered "from the devastation he experienced over his arrest and charge". The newspaper leads with Celtic's condemnation of "a small minority of fans" after it was charged by UEFA over an "illicit banner" displayed during Wednesday's second-leg game in the Champions League tie against Linfield. The Glasgow club have also been cited for a "kit infringement" and "blocked stairways". A Uefa spokesperson said that the illicit banner charge related to the banner "portraying a person in a paramilitary uniform". Celtic's Leigh Griffiths was given a one-match ban for provoking spectators during the first leg at Windsor Park while his club have been fined £4,000. Linfield have been handed a partial stadium closure for their next European tie and fined £8,850 over fan behaviour. They say a cat has nine lives and that certainly appears to be the case with a 31-year-old called Sasha featured in the Belfast Telegraph. Owner Beth O'Neill from Newtownabbey says she discovered the feline, who is the equivalent of more than 160 human years, in a battered state at stables near her home in 1991. Beth has contacted the Guinness Book of Records about Sasha following the death of the world's oldest cat in Texas and says she has always been able to put her two dogs in their place. "If they don't heed her, she puts her claws out and shows them who the boss is." Beth says Sasha also faces competition from a young pretender, her daughter's cat Nico, who is a sprightly 24. Police and an ambulance were called to the Welsh Alliance division two match involving Llanllyfni and Prestatyn Sports football clubs. Llanllyfni FC said one of their players was taken to hospital, while Prestatyn Sports confirmed one of their players was arrested. North Wales Police has declined to comment at this stage. Llanllyfni FC club secretary Kim Warrington said: "I have never seen anything like it." David Jutson, secretary of Prestatyn Sports FC, said the row involved some players and supporters who went onto the pitch. The Old Bailey heard the abuse in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, involved multiples rapes, child prostitution and administering substances to "stupefy". The men, from Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Bradford, abused the two schoolgirls between 2006 and 2012. Most were given long prison sentences - the longest being 19-and-a-half years. The jailed men are: The offences, which all the defendants denied any involvement in, took place in cars, vans, flats and sometimes the girls' homes in Aylesbury, their trial heard. The court heard evidence from both victims, who came from troubled backgrounds and were befriended by the men who gave them alcohol, DVDs, food and occasionally drugs. When she was 12 or 13, one of the girls - known as A - was passed between 60 Asian men for sex and had been conditioned to think it was normal behaviour, the jury was told. The girls started to believe the men, some of whom were married with children, were their boyfriends. Referring to girl A, judge John Bevan QC said that "for the price of a McDonald's, a milkshake and cinema ticket, she became 'liked' by stall holders in Aylesbury market, taxi and bus drivers". "Why these defendants focused their attention on white under-age girls is unexplained but I have no doubt vulnerability played a substantial part in it," he said. "If they pursued Asian under-age girls, they would have paid a heavy price in their community." In a statement, girl A spoke of her feelings of "worthlessness" as she battled depression and alcohol addiction, adding: "I feel my teenage years were taken away from me." The second girl - known as B - said today's sentencing was "academic" because "no sentence could ever put right what happened". Alan Collins, solicitor for girl B, said they would be taking legal action against Buckinghamshire County Council for its "negligence" which "resulted in the unnecessary suffering of these victims". David Johnston, children's services director at the council, said it was "determined to do everything we can to stamp out all forms of sexual abuse in Buckinghamshire", urging other victims of abuse to come forward. The authority declined to comment on the legal claims. The appointment has been widely described as surprising, mostly because Mr O'Shea is a self-taught retailer with no formal design experience. The Australian will take up the position from 1 April. Italy's Brioni was founded in 1945 and is now owned by luxury group Kering. Brioni suits have been regarded as heritage luxury items for many years. They were worn by James Bond actors - from GoldenEye to Casino Royale - and they cost from about $8,000 (£5,633) to as much as $45,000. However, the brand has more recently been seen as old-fashioned and lacking in any contemporary look or feel. Senior Kering executive Grita Loebsack welcomed Mr O'Shea to the role and described him as "an unconventional profile for such a position". "Justin brings a holistic approach and strong business understanding," Ms Loebsack said. "I believe his vision will accurately translate into this role and add a distinctive signature to the house." From Toowoomba in the state of Queensland, Mr O'Shea was most recently the global buying director and then global fashion director for German online retailer MyTheresa. He spent seven years with the Berlin-based womenswear retailer and is widely regarded as being responsible for its success. He said his move to Brioni was an easy decision to make. "The menswear market of today offers unique opportunities and it was an easy decision to be part of the revitalising of this prized brand," he said. "This house has all the pieces of the puzzle - the craftsmanship, the quality and an incredible archive. I am eager to reinterpret all these elements and make them relevant to today's customer." The Australian self-taught retailer is seen as highly visible on social media and in Europe's fashion world. As luxury brands continue to fight for loyal customers, and compete with online retailers, fashion experts have said Mr O'Shea's high social media profile and keen understanding of e-commerce could be one of the main reasons Brioni hired him. Mr O'Shea announced his new appointment within seconds of it being made public to his 80,000 Instagram followers. Brioni's chief executive Gianluca Flore said she was confident Mr O'Shea's creative direction would be instrumental in driving "dynamism and innovation" into the 71-year old brand. Brioni has about 1,200 employees and was bought by Kering, formerly PPR, in 2011. At the time, the firm said the acquisition of Brioni completed its portfolio of luxury brands in the menswear sector. Kering's brands today include Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney, among several others. Whistleblower Herve Falciani has said the UK government should have known about the scandal in 2010. Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie said the committee was concerned about the allegations and had decided to take oral evidence from both HSBC and HMRC. Meanwhile, the BBC understands the Treasury is preparing legislation to tighten the tax evasion laws. BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed has been told that it is preparing legislation to tighten the rules on undeclared income held in offshore accounts. The chancellor made it clear last April that he would like to toughen the rules over tax evasion including offshore banking. Since then there has been international agreement on the automatic exchange of information regarding tax matters, but no unilateral steps from the UK government. Mr Tyrie said the committee would be probing whether banks had made adequate progress in changing their own practices. "Banks have repeatedly told the committee that, since the crisis, they have put in place reforms to ensure that they operate on the basis of sharply improved standards," he said "The committee will need reassurance that they have done so in private banking." Mr Falciani, a former IT worker for HSBC, said UK tax authorities would have known about the stolen list of clients of HSBC's Swiss private bank when it was given to French officials. The BBC has also learned the UK tax authority is to expand its inquiry. HMRC will meet the police and the Serious Fraud Office later in the week. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Falciani said French authorities had got in touch with HM Revenue & Customs and passed on information in 2010. He said the UK government should have known the bank itself was doing wrong in 2010. "By that time I (had) already declared and explained the problems that were happening," he said. "It was made public at that time and of course I already at that time explained the major, huge issues we were foreseeing inside HSBC," he added. Asked if the information Mr Falciani had provided in 2010 was also about the behaviour of the bank, as well as individuals, he said: "It was exactly about the behaviour and containing all the required information for an internal audit." He said there was much more to be shared and that co-operation between European tax authorities would reveal far more evidence. His latest revelations follow angry exchanges on Wednesday, when MPs accused tax officials of failing to deal with issues adequately. Top officials from HM Revenue & Customs were shouted down by MPs, angry at what they said was a lack of urgency in tackling the HSBC tax-dodging scandal. Margaret Hodge, chairwoman of the Public Accounts Committee, accused Lin Homer, HMRC chief executive, of a "pathetic response". Herve Falciani's interview on the Today programme has raised two important issues. Firstly, that he offered information in 2010 to UK authorities that HSBC was involved in aiding and abetting tax evasion for its clients. The government says that all it knew about were the publicly reported facts that clients of HSBC's Swiss bank were being investigated over their tax affairs. And that meant there was no reason to prevent Lord Green, the former chairman of HSBC, becoming the new trade minister. Secondly, that HSBC's Swiss bank controls in the 2000s were in a mess and that failing computer systems made it impossible for the bank to have "sufficient oversight". This is vital, because allegations of lack of control and oversight are toxic for any bank and its board. Don't forget, HSBC was fined nearly £1.2bn for governance failures over money laundering allegations in its Mexico operation. HSBC says that controls have been improved in its Swiss operation. The question is: if Mr Falciani is correct, why were they allowed to get into such a mess in the first place? Ms Homer denied she had failed to take firm action against UK citizens hiding money in HSBC accounts in Geneva. She said it was "absolutely not the case" she was failing the UK taxpayer. Ms Homer explained why there had been only one prosecution of someone whose hidden accounts in Switzerland had been revealed. She said that most of the information leaked via the French authorities in 2010, which involved about 3,600 UK individuals, was incomplete or "dirty" data. Of these, 3,200 individuals had been traced and, of the 1,100 most serious cases - which HMRC had chosen to pursue - only 130 were now outstanding. From the rest of those cases, £135m had been recovered, Ms Homer said. "We were speedy and on the case," she told the MPs. She explained that in fact, two-thirds of the total group of UK-based HSBC account holders "were found to be compliant" with UK tax rules, in some cases because they had non-dom status. The singer responded to a social media appeal on behalf of Sophie Birtles, who has the rare genetic disorder Juvenile Sandhoff Disease. Referencing one of her best-known hits, American pop star Perry said: "Sophie, I heard your story and wanted to say you are a firework and I do love you." Thousands of people have shared #youreafireworksophie on social media. In her personal message, Perry said: "Everybody loves you and we're all thinking about you all over the world right now." Sophie's father Andrew said she loved the message and thanked everybody who helped to make it happen. Sophie is currently being cared for at Rebecca House Children's Hospice in the Isle of Man. City had to come from behind after Stephane Sessegnon beat Joe Hart at his near post just six minutes in. Sessegnon then brought down Aleksandar Kolarov in the area to allow Sergio Aguero to equalise from the spot. Nasri tapped into an empty net with 25 minutes remaining to put City four points above rivals Manchester United. United can close that gap if they beat Tottenham on Sunday, but City will also be keeping an eye on leaders Leicester City, who could reinstate a 15-point advantage over Manuel Pellegrini's side with victory over Sunderland. Relive Man City's win over West Brom The prospect of reaching a first ever Champions League semi-final by beating Paris St-Germain at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday is more pressing for City, and the visit of the French side hung very much over Pellegrini's team selection and the performance as a whole. The Chilean, who will be replaced by Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola in the summer, realises he can still leave an indelible mark on the club by taking them to European glory, and made five changes from the 2-2 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final with PSG last week. Top-scorer Aguero started and took his goal tally for the season to 23, but hobbled off near the end of the contest after taking a set of studs to the calf from Albion's Craig Gardner, although the Argentinian did not look to be seriously hurt. The hosts, with Nasri making a Premier League start for the first time since September after a thigh injury, took a while to get to grips with the reshuffle from midweek and looked flat without the twin creative sparks of Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva. Wilfried Bony was rarely an influence up front and it was not until the hour mark and the introduction of De Bruyne and Yaya Toure - a welcome sight to City fans after a three-week layoff - that City came alive. Belgian De Bruyne was integral to the winning goal, with his clever ball inside from the right flank allowing Jesus Navas to roll across to Aguero, whose blocked effort fell to the unmarked Nasri for a simple finish. West Brom will feel they missed an opportunity to take a point from the two-time Premier League champions with a performance that forced City to battle until the end. Boss Tony Pulis has come under scrutiny from Albion fans for his direct style of play - despite having comfortably achieved safety - but their goal was well crafted, with James McClean whipping in a cross for Sessegnon to finish a swift counter-attack. The Baggies do have goal-scoring concerns, though, and for all their grit, they ended the game with just two shots on target - however, that was two more than they had mustered in their two previous games. Saido Berahino had a pair of good chances that he put wide, although one was clearly offside, and Sandro wanted a penalty when he was shoved by Eliaquim Mangala. McClean could have snatched a point with the last kick of the game with a volley that zipped the wrong side of Hart's post. Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini: "It was a very important win. You cannot lose these three points at home if you want to fight to be in the Champions League next year. "Now we have a championship with four or five teams to try and play in the Champions League. "When you have players like Kevin de Bruyne and Yaya Toure and they play with Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero, the way the team played changed immediately. I'm very happy with Samir Nasri." Media playback is not supported on this device West Brom boss Tony Pulis: "I thought we played well today. We've got 40 points and the important thing is the lads turn up in all the games. We did that today and gave them a game and the disappointing thing is we've got nothing out of it. "We've got to hit the target more - it's been a fault of ours this season. And one or two decisions didn't go our way. "I'm not sure it's a penalty for them. I think everyone in the stadium thought we should have had a penalty." It has already been mentioned once or twice, but City have a Champions League quarter-final second-leg to play against PSG on Tuesday, with the tie poised at 2-2. Their next Premier League fixture is at Chelsea on Saturday. West Brom host Watford on the same day, with the Albion two points above their opponents.

She was remanded in custody to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 13 April. More on this and other stories on BBC Yorkshire Live The men, aged 19 and 20, were arrested at a property in west London as part of a planned operation by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command. The teenager was arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts. The second man's arrest was on suspicion of funding terrorism and failing to disclose information. It also related to the preparation of terrorist acts. His arrest was made in relation to a separate investigation by the South East Counter Terrorism Unit. Scotland Yard said it was searching a number of addresses and vehicles in the west and south-east of London, as well as in the Thames Valley area. A third man, 19, was arrested in south-east London on suspicion of a religiously aggravated offence in relation to a separate incident. All three men remain in custody, officers said. Colchester eventually won the match 3-1 after home fans protesting against Orient owner Francesco Becchetti got onto the pitch in the 85th minute. Following the lengthy postponement, players returned and played the final eight minutes behind closed doors. A Football League statement said the game was concluded "to maintain the integrity of the competition". It read: "The decision to play the match to a conclusion was agreed with both managers and with the support of the match officials. "The police and stadium security staff were happy for the match to restart and this took place at approximately 6.40pm. "Despite requests for the fans to clear the pitch, there wasn't sufficient movement to allow the game to restart following a pitch invasion. "A decision was taken with the police to announce that the game had been abandoned, as it was felt this would help clear the pitch, which proved correct. "However, it was deemed appropriate that the game needed to be played to a conclusion in order to maintain the integrity of the competition and in respect of Colchester United's position of being able to qualify for the League Two play-offs." Bottom side Orient were relegated from the English Football League for the first time in their history last weekend. Before kick-off, troubled club Orient released a statement saying that they had cleared their debts to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. However, BBC London understands some freelance contractors at the club are yet to be paid. Colchester's goals came from Tarique Fosu-Henry, Chris Porter and Macauley Bonne, while Sandro Semedo netted for Orient. The win moved Colchester up to 10th place, a point adrift of the play-off places with one match remaining. Leyton Orient manager Omer Riza told BBC Radio London: "When I spoke to John McGreal we said we'd play normally (following the delay) but I think the players - maybe it was hard for them to warm up and get back into the speed of the game - decided to see it out for five minutes. "I think it's right (that the game was completed). Those are the rules we have to abide by - if we didn't finish it now then we'd have to come back next week and that wouldn't have been good for Colchester, the players or us. "It was the right thing to clear the pitch, wait however long it needed and get it finished." Colchester head coach John McGreal told BBC Essex: "We knew during the week something could happen in terms of fan protests. "It was an ongoing situation once we came off the pitch. We consulted with the EFL and Leyton Orient and agreed we'd get it finished. Omer [Riza] and myself came together and didn't want to have to come back in the week to finish it. "The Orient fans were fine throughout. There was never any feeling of the players being in danger at all and I have to commend our supporters for their behaviour and I hope they can now look forward to next week with so much to play for." BBC Essex commentator Glenn Speller told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was one of the most bizarre afternoons I've ever experienced in all my years covering football matches. "The fans were told that the game was abandoned. There were a number of announcements over the tannoy and while they were ignored by the majority, eventually people left. "At 16:40 BST the players went off. At 16:48 BST it was abandoned. At 18:43 BST the players came back out. "The press were told not to put anything on social media while more police arrived to secure the ground." Match ends, Leyton Orient 1, Colchester United 3.

The 36-year-old Dimension Date cyclist denied Alex Dowsett a record sixth national time-trial title in the Isle of Man by just eight seconds. A visibly emotional Cummings said: "This victory is for my wife, who never stops supporting and believing." It was his first race since he crashed at the Tour of the Basque Country. In the crash in April he fractured his sternum, collarbone and scapula. He told British Cycling: "I got emotional because I think it means more to my family because they've given me so much support and always been there. "It's been really tough for my wife - I couldn't move my arms and she did everything for me, so I need to thank you for all she has done." James Gullen (JLT Condor) finished 50.79 down on Dowsett in third, while Owain Doull abandoned his challenge because of a puncture. Meanwhile, Claire Rose also won her first national title in the women's race and the Isle of Man's Anna Christian won the under-23 title and finished seventh overall. Scott Davies continued his dominance of the men's under-23 category by clinching his fourth straight victory. Lee Tomlin gave the visitors the lead when he ran unchallenged into the box and fired low past keeper David Button. Visiting keeper Richard O'Donnell saved Hogan's spot kick after he was fouled by Nathan Baker to keep their lead. Hogan scored his first goal since his return from a year out with a cruciate knee ligament injury as he nodded Jake Bidwell's tee up to rescue a point. The result means Brentford remain in 13th place in the Championship table while Bristol City climb a place to 18th and maintain their 10-point cushion on the relegation places with four games left to play. Bristol City were chasing what would have been a first league victory at Griffin Park since February 2006, before Hogan's late intervention. The former Rochdale striker injured his knee in Brentford's 2-0 win against Rotherham in August 2014 and scored his first goal for the Bees almost two years after joining the club. Brentford head coach Dean Smith: "I spoke to my guys on the bench and said as [Hogan] stepped up that at least the keeper wouldn't have seen him take one, but it was a great save. Media playback is not supported on this device "Scott is a natural striker and they know where to be when it matters. He's had a round of applause from the boys after the game because he's worked so hard for that, and has come back even stronger. "A re-rupture isn't nice at all so that goal was for him, his family and the medical team. "He's a lot stronger player than I saw at Rochdale, he's a natural finisher and that's why the club went and got him. I certainly couldn't have afforded him at Walsall." Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "I would say it's advantage Bristol City in that fight, but we want to try to catch Brentford because that's important for our mindset going forward. "This was a good game for the neutrals with quite a few opportunities at both ends, major decisions that both teams feel didn't go their way, but it was a fair result in the end." "Lee [Tomlin] is a top player and one of those who you don't see for 89 minutes until he sticks one in top corner. He's a Premier League talent like Alan Judge for Brentford and we're lucky to have him." Sammie Welch, 23, from Plymouth, was travelling with her son Rylan, three, when a man handed her a note as he got off at Bristol. The passenger wrote "Have a drink on me" and left her a £5 note after being impressed with her son's manners. Ms Welch said: "I want to thank him personally." The note, in capital letters, read: "Have a drink on me. You are a credit to your generation, polite and teaching the little boy good manners. "PS I have a daughter your age, someone did the same for her once. Hope when she has children she is as good a mother as you. "Have a lovely evening." Ms Welch said she "wanted to cry" at the anonymous benefactor's generosity. She said: "I never had the chance to thank him as he got off and I couldn't move due to my son being asleep on me and a man sat next to me." She has appealed on Facebook for people to get in touch with the man. She said: "He shows there are still good people out there and I want him to know I am truly grateful." The Dons trail Premiership leaders Celtic by four points having played a game more and McInnes knows his men can ill-afford any slip-ups. "We're going there to try to win because we know we don't have a lot of room for error, "McInnes said. "We want to keep ourselves in the fight as much as possible." McInnes is hopeful Friday night's match at Tynecastle will go ahead after the Edinburgh side's scheduled game on Tuesday against Inverness Caledonian Thistle was postponed due to an outbreak of illness in Robbie Neilson's squad. Up to 12 Hearts players have been suffering from gastroenteritis, but there is no suggestion that Friday's match is under threat. "I'm encouraged by what's coming out of Hearts when they said yesterday that they're confident that the game will go ahead on Friday," the Aberdeen manager said. "Our preparation's the same. We're looking forward to the game. It's a very important game, as every game is at the minute. "We know there's no real margin for error at this stage of the season to keep close to Celtic." Aberdeen have visited Tynecastle twice this season, with mixed results. Hearts knocked the Dons out of the Scottish Cup at the fourth round stage with a 1-0 victory in January. McInnes has fonder memories of the 3-1 league win his side registered in Gorgie in September that extended Aberdeen's Premiership winning streak to eight matches. "We were strong that day," he said. "We got ourselves in front and were quite clinical with our work in that first-half. "We thought Hearts would be a strong side this season with the squad they've managed to put together. "They've shown that and I think they deserve huge credit for the way they've performed this season. Very confident side, good experience in the right areas. "We've got a tough job. But, if we get that level of performance again, it gives us a chance to go and win the game. "We didn't set out this season to finish second. Last season, we were 20-odd points ahead of third spot and Hearts have certainly made sure that we are having to keep concentrating on that side of it. "Hearts will qualify for Europe, as we have done, and they'll be trying to pull back us towards them as we're trying to pull Celtic back towards us. "There's still plenty to play for. The three points are equally as important for both teams." Launched in February, the spacecraft carries an altimeter to sense the oceans' "hills" and "valleys". It is basic information that is needed to track currents and eddies, inform ocean forecasts and track variability in climate-driven sea-level rise. This first Sentinel-3a global map contains just one month's data. The acquisition was made between 3 March and 2 April 2016. Red shows (positive) areas where the sea surface is higher than the reference sea level, and blue (negative) areas reveal where it is lower. Positive anomalies are normally associated with warmer waters and a deeper thermocline, with negative anomalies associated with cooler waters and a shallower thermocline. The thermocline is the transition layer between warmer mixed water at the ocean's surface and cooler deep water below. The "reference" against which Sentinel-3a is looking is the historical dataset gathered by satellite altimeters since the early 1990s. Some of the big features immediately recognisable in the map are the Gulf Stream moving up the US East Coast and across the North Atlantic, the Brazil-Falklands Confluence Zone in the southeast Atlantic, the Benguela and Agulhas currents that hug the southern tip of Africa, and the Kuroshio current that sweeps east of Japan into the central Pacific. Sentinel-3a joins five other space altimeters already in orbit that are contributing this kind of data. This number of instruments is unprecedented. "The main reason you want so many space altimeters is to provide good sampling of mesoscale details," explained Dr Craig Donlon, the European Space Agency's (Esa) mission scientist on Sentinel-3a. "Given the very narrow field of view which is at nadir (straight down), you only get to see a few km in width, depending on the sea state. "With a series of altimeters flying in a constellation, you can improve the sampling of the global ocean. But you have to make sure that at least one of those altimeters is working as a reference. This one must be an accurate, well-monitored system, and a consistent system throughout the historical altimeter constellation as well. "That's been the Topex/Jason series, soon to become Sentinel-6/Jason-CS in a few years' time. The reference altimeter orbit is a 66 degree (relative to the equator) orbit, that was chosen very deliberately because you minimise tidal aliasing, because as you can imagine, if you have tides in your signal it's very confusing." But being in a 66-degree orbit means behaviour at the poles is lost. That is where S-3a comes in. It goes to much higher latitudes, enabling it for example to have a look at what is happening in the Arctic Ocean. It is hard to overstate the importance of sea surface elevation to the study of the oceans. Just as surface air pressure reveals what the atmosphere is doing above, so ocean height will betray details about the behaviour of water down below. The data gives clues to temperature and salinity, and when combined with gravity information, it is possible to gauge not just current direction but speed as well. The oceans store vast amounts of heat from the Sun, and how they move that energy around the globe and interact with the atmosphere are what drive our weather and climate systems. The sea surface anomalies map, processed by the French space Agency CNES, was released here in Prague at Esa's Living Planet Symposium - a conference dedicated to Earth observation. Many of the talks are centred on data coming from the EU's new Sentinel satellites - the biggest EO project in the world. Four spacecraft have now been launched, with many more to follow. Esa's Earth observation director Prof Volker Liebig showed a recent image from the colour camera on Sentinel-2a. This featured a giant algal bloom off the coast of Chile. The bloom was powered by the warm waters brought to the eastern Pacific last year by the El Nino phenomenon. "Twenty-four million salmon in fish farms died as a consequence of this event," he said. "The El Nino led to warm water there; normally it is cold water. The industry was unprepared. Eight-hundred-million US dollars have been lost. "We hope governments and industry will become more aware of these (Sentinel satellite) tools and use them in the future to be better prepared." A multitude of services based on Sentinel and other satellite data is already available under the EU's Copernicus programme. The European-funded Sentinel series What is the Copernicus programme? Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Four years ago, ministers promised a decision on the matter by 2015. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and other groups have warned that delays risk the welfare of beavers already in parts of Scotland. The government said it and Scottish Natural Heritage were giving landowners advice on managing the animals. Scotland has two beaver populations, despite the species being hunted to extinction in the 16th Century. An official trial re-introduction has been conducted at Knapdale Forest in Argyll. But beavers are also thriving in the Tay catchment. There have been suggestions in the past of releasing beavers in parts of the Cairngorms. Farmers and landowners have said the animals damage trees and cause flooding in fields alongside burns and rivers. In January, BBC Scotland reported that beavers that were heavily pregnant or had recently given birth were among those shot by landowners in Tayside. The following month, RZSS and the Scottish Wildlife Trust said there was an "urgent" need to have beavers recognised as a native species. Earlier this week, RZSS spoke out again on the issue. The National Trust for Scotland has also called for a decision "as soon as possible". It supports controlled, licensed reintroductions of beavers. RSPB Scotland has described the government's statement as "extremely disappointing". Environment Minister Dr Aileen McLeod has now said in a statement that "complex issues still under careful consideration", a final decision on beavers within the context of Scottish wildlife and land management would be taken later this year. She said there were measures already available, such as Nature Conservation Orders, to protect beavers. Dr McLeod said: "We understand that there are those for whom beaver activity can pose problems - particularly farmers with low-lying areas, often with highly productive farms but which are at risk of flooding or water logging from the damming activities of beavers. "We are working closely with SNH, who are providing advice on mitigation and alternatives to lethal control but also guidelines regarding welfare considerations arising from the shooting of beavers, where this is the only option available. "We are aware of and share the concerns raised by the recent information about the killing of beavers during the breeding season and we ask all land managers to heed the advice set out regarding when there are likely to be dependent young and shooting is particularly discouraged." The world and Commonwealth champions were 58-52 winners in the opening match in Liverpool on Wednesday. And despite England leading by four goals at one stage on Friday, the Aussie Diamonds recovered to claim their second victory. The final match of the series is on Sunday at the Copperbox (18:30 GMT). Tracey Neville named an unchanged side from Wednesday and after going 5-0 down early on, England recovered to go in level at the end of the first quarter. The Roses found their stride and opened up a four-goal lead, but Australia fought their way back into the contest to go in 25-23 at the break. Neville brought on newcomers Laura Malcolm and Natalie Haythornthwaite at half-time, and her team were soon cut adrift by the world number one side who eased to victory.

Republican House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said that he did not agree with the decision. Mr Arpaio, 85, was found guilty after he defied a court order to stop traffic patrols targeting suspected immigrants. He said his conviction was "a witch hunt by the Obama justice department". Mr Ryan is the latest senior politician to condemn the former policeman's release. "Law enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon," his spokesman said in a statement. Other prominent Republican critics include Arizona Senator John McCain and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Arizona's other Republican Senator Jeff Flake also condemned the move as did Democrats and human rights campaigners. Mr Arpaio's lawyer Jack Wilenchik said that those critical of his pardon were wrong because he was unfairly prosecuted - there was no jury in his case. The former sheriff was an eager supporter of Mr Trump's campaign to become president and backed tougher policies to combat illegal immigration. In a statement announcing the pardon, his first, Mr Trump said: "Arpaio's life and career, which began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the military after the outbreak of the Korean War, exemplify selfless public service. "Throughout his time as sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration. "Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now 85 years old, and after more than 50 years of admirable service to our nation, he is a worthy candidate for a presidential pardon." The former policeman has said that he may consider running for political office again, despite his age. He lost a bid for re-election in Arizona's Maricopa County in November 2016, after 24 years in office. Mr Arpaio, born in Springfield, Massachusetts, could have faced six months in jail at his sentencing in October. He served in the US military before he became a police officer - where he quickly acquired a reputation for his anti-immigration stance and tough enforcement tactics.

The decision by President Donald Trump to pardon former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio over his criminal contempt conviction was wrong, the top-ranking Republican in Congress has said.

The Captain America star read Even Superheroes Have Bad Days by Shelley Becker. "Watching CBeebies even though the wee one is in bed...wonder why?!" tweeted Fiona Moore-McGrath. And Lisa Prosser wrote: "Of course only watching this for my daughter... #HubbaHubba." The actor appeared on the BBC children's TV channel on Wednesday - six weeks after an appearance by fellow actor Tom Hardy. Many other mums - as well as those without children - took to Twitter to give their approval. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Lancaster landed safely at RAF Coningsby in May after it misfired during a training flight. The aircraft has since undergone extensive repairs. The Lancaster, one of only two in the world permitted to fly, has missed most of the 2015 display season. Sqd Ldr Martin Morris, of the BBMF, said: "The engineers have been busy beavering away and we are confident she is mechanically ready to go. "We will conduct an air test on Monday - dependant on the weather - and then we are looking at planning additional sorties flying over key locations in Lincolnshire." He added: "I'm checking what we are able to do, and then we will be in the lap of the gods in terms of the weather. "It's possible we might also take her further afield." The BBMF said it was only right people were able to see the aircraft flying ahead of its winter maintenance programme. It said it would announce further details when confirmed. Award organisers posted on Facebook: "We have some really sad news. Calvin Harris has taken ill and will not be able to perform at tomorrow's show. "He sends his sincere apologies.

The traditional sweets, made from flour, ghee and sugar, are often consumed at celebrations and festivals. The significance of the weight of the sweet is as yet unknown. The sweet was unveiled as part of a function by a sanitation company which is celebrating Mr Modi's birthday as "Swachhta Diwas" (Cleanliness Day). This is however not the strangest birthday gift received by the Indian prime minister. In 2013, before he became prime minister, Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat sang a sultry "happy birthday" to Mr Modi, Marilyn Monroe style.

Former England captain Alan Shearer, a BBC Sport pundit at Stamford Bridge, said: "I think you are looking at the Football Writers' player of the year and the players' player of the year." Lampard described Kante as a "driving force" as Chelsea chase a Double. The France international, who arrived in a £30m deal from champions Leicester last summer, has been a key figure as the Blues have moved 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League. The energy he has is staggering. He has stood above everybody else this season Kante's goal on Monday was just his second of the season - both of them against United. Former Red Devils defender Phil Neville, who was working alongside Shearer and Lampard, described the Frenchman as the "most effective midfielder in Europe at the moment". He added: "I don't see anyone with the influence he has on a team. He's a number six, an eight and a 10. He breaks up play and then sometimes he finishes it off too." On naming Kante as his man of the match, BBC summariser and former Arsenal defender Martin Keown said: "Man of the match? It's men of the match. He was everywhere." Kante's midfield battle against France team-mate Paul Pogba, who cost United a world-record £89m fee in August, was one of the key sub-plots from the quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge. Kante's all-round performance, capped by his match-winning goal, drew praise from most observers, while Pogba struggled to impress in a frustrating evening for his team. "Kante was perpetual motion, starting attacks, breaking up moves and crowning another magnificent performance with the winning goal, emphatically drilled past De Gea. Pogba simply could not get into the game," Phil McNulty, BBC Sport's chief football writer, said in his match report. "Chelsea's fans revelled in Pogba's struggles as they chanted 'what a waste of money' - no such charges will be levelled at Kante, who looks a £30m bargain." Kante had 91 touches against United, only bettered by team-mates Cesar Azpilicueta and Eden Hazard, and made more tackles and clearances (four of each) than any other Chelsea player. He also won more 50-50 duels with an opponent (78.6%) than any other outfield player. Chelsea defender Gary Cahill: "N'Golo has been fantastic. His performance level is right up there. "You saw what he did last season but he has kicked on again this season. "He is a humble guy off the pitch and works hard. He is so important, especially to us at the back. "He's been a tremendous addition to the squad."

Know who I would want in my side. Johnny Magrinho: Sad thing is if Kante didn't score tonight he wouldn't be getting so much attention. The best and only DM in the Prem right now. Garrett: As much as you like Kante's performance, Iniesta is king of the midfield. Will take someone special to topple him. Many say they know nothing about the new deal struck between the EU and Turkey, which could mean their stay here is short-lived. Those who had heard rumours of imminent deportations clearly hoped they were not true. "I have dreams for my family. A happy family. In Europe!" Rada Ali tells me, her eyes sparkling and with a big, warm smile. Her family from Damascus were in a group of more than 60 rescued from a dinghy this week by the Greek coastguard. "Back to Turkey? No. Turkey, no!" she says, at the prospect of being returned there. Rada tells me she plans to travel to Sweden to be reunited with her eldest son. Instead, like all new arrivals, she is soon being bussed to a detention facility. On board with her are dozens of children. A day later I find her in tears behind the high fence and barbed wire of the migrant camp. Her smile crumbles as she tells me the place is overcrowded and the family have to sleep outside, on the floor. It's cold at night and her son Mustafa says they queue for up to four hours for food. The UN refugee agency and others have stopped their humanitarian services at the facility, in protest at the indiscriminate, forced detention of asylum seekers. "Everyone is worried about April 4th," Mustafa tells me. "They've heard that some people in the camp will be sent back to Turkey then, but no-one knows who or how." A Greek official told us from Athens that the first to go would be those who had not requested asylum. That's primarily "economic" migrants. But Mustafa and Rada have no idea what "applying for asylum" even means. "We were told just to stay here," Mustafa says, bewildered. Others who crowd around are clearly angry. "They say you're under arrest, but I never went to trial!" a Syrian who calls himself Roy tells me. "They just put us here like goats. Like animals." Down in the port, Turkish passenger ferries are on standby to take the first group of returnees across the sea. But how that plays out in practice, is still very unclear. The Turkey-EU statement in full A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. Watson, 25, has scored 14 tries in 29 games for Falcons, and was in the Great Britain Sevens team which won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Ben Harris, 27, made one appearance for Wasps earlier this season after joining on a short-term loan deal. Antonio Harris, 21, has scored seven tries in 18 games this season. "We already know a lot about Ben and believe he has real potential at this level. TJ [Antonio] Harris has also impressed us in the Championship and we think he still has lots of growth in him," director of rugby Dai Young said. "We always want an exciting back three, with pace on the wing, as we feel we have great distributors in our inside backs. We want to make sure we have deadly finishers to execute the chances they create. "Marcus certainly fits into that category brilliantly, as he has shown already at international level on the sevens circuit and in the Aviva Premiership." Lewis, 60, was appointed in 2006 and his tenure was marked by historic highs and controversy. WRU chairman Gareth Davies says the timing of the announcement - in the middle of the Six Nations tournament - allows the governing body "time to find a successor". Lewis said the time was "right" to step down "after a remarkable period". It is not known how the WRU will conduct its search for Lewis's replacement. An impressive CV helped Lewis take the role after input from an executive recruitment firm. He had worked in the music and media industries and his achievements with the WRU include appointing Warren Gatland as national coach. Gatland has gone on to oversee a third Golden Era that has included three Six Nations titles and a 2011 World Cup semi-final appearance. Lewis has also helped reduce the Millennium Stadium debt, overseen record financial turnover, and introduced national dual contracts for some leading Wales players, including captain Sam Warburton. However, there has also been controversy during Lewis' reign. The WRU's relationship with professional teams Cardiff Blues, Scarlets, Newport Gwent Dragons and Ospreys descended into a bitter and prolonged civil war over governance and funding. In July, the four regions went as far as offering the WRU the chance to take them over, claiming "The harsh reality is that the WRU has no interest in concluding negotiations with the regions and entering into a long-term agreement for the betterment of Welsh rugby." The dispute eventually ended in August 2014 with a £60m deal that lasts until 2020. As well as being at the helm during that quarrel, Lewis also ruffled feathers with comments made about Wales legend Gerald Davies in the wake of the WRU's elected board surviving a vote of no confidence in June, 2014. David Pickering was WRU chairman when Lewis took over. Ex-Wales captain Pickering was voted off the WRU board in September and Gareth Davies succeeded him in the role, having been Dragons chief during the WRU-regions dispute. In a statement released to announce Lewis's 31 October departure, Davies said: "We recognise the massive contribution Roger has made to the growth of Welsh rugby both on the field and off the field and respect his decision." Lewis himself said: "It has been a fantastic and memorable journey both on and off the pitch and I would like to thank the board of the WRU for their backing during some challenging times and for my colleagues who have been unstinting in their support for me both personally and professionally. "After nine years as group chief executive the time is right for me to move forward and by announcing this in advance now, we are ensuring that the transition can be well managed in the best interests of Welsh rugby. "I am extremely proud of all that we have achieved together over the past nine years. "The WRU is now in a strong position to seize the opportunities and face the inevitable challenges of the future and I wish my successor well for the adventure ahead." Sacking then-Wales coach Gareth Jenkins in the wake of their 2007 World Cup exit in pool match defeat against Fiji was one of the first major decisions made during Lewis's reign. During his time at the WRU Lewis chaired a campaign for the Welsh Assembly Government to be given more powers. He has also become chairman of south east Wales "city region," which aims to boost economic growth in the area. William Kerr, 53, is wanted by police after he absconded from a bail hostel in Hull following his release on 23 January. He was jailed for life for murder at Leeds Crown Court in June 1998. North Yorkshire Police said Kerr was known to have links to the Humberside Police force area, as well as West Yorkshire and London. A spokesperson for the force said his current whereabouts were unknown and he needed to be arrested and returned to prison "as a matter of urgency". Police issued a recent photo of Kerr and urged people to "keep an eye out for him". Det Insp Eamonn Clarke said: "We ask that you do not approach Kerr, as he is considered dangerous. You should contact the police straight away on 999 and officers will be despatched to arrest him or investigate the sighting." Det Insp Clarke also urged Kerr "to do the right thing and hand yourself in to the police". North Yorkshire Police said it was leading the hunt for Kerr as his probation officer was based in Selby but there was "no evidence at this time to suggest that he is currently in North Yorkshire". The 32-year old finished fifth at London 2012 and qualified for Rio in April with victory in Australia. Jenkins joins compatriot Non Stanford and Vicky Holland in the GB squad as the trio compete in Stockholm in the penultimate world event before Rio. "Running in Rio is a bonus; I didn't really expect to be going," she said. "So I don't want to put that pressure on myself at the moment. "Winning a medal is something I won't allow myself to think about." Jenkins says she has learned lessons for her experiences four years ago. "In London it was all about gold or getting a medal and this time around really all I am focusing on is lining up fit and healthy," she explained. Media playback is not supported on this device "With 10 weeks to go heading into London, I got a really bad injury and I couldn't walk. I went in as one of the favourites and no-one had any idea how bad the injury was. "I dealt with the pressure really well and did well to come fifth. But it was not was I was aiming for. I was disappointed at the time, but I am proud now. "It was the most adverse conditions I had ever faced and I now view it as an overwhelmingly positive experience. "But in Rio if I can do that and produce the best performance that I can, I will come back happy. That's what I want to do really." Jenkins believes all three British women are major medal contenders, especially the Welsh participants. "It would mean a lot to win a medal if it happened, but I don't want to think about that, I want to just focus on fitness," she told BBC Wales Sport. Media playback is not supported on this device "It is going to be a lot tougher in Rio than it was in London, the course is harder, we have a sea swim, which tends to break things up a bit more and we have a bike course with a very steep hill in it, so it is a very technical ascent. "But I do think the course suits, especially myself and Non Stanford, who both ride really well, it is a great course for us." Jenkins had considered skipping Stockholm, the penultimate World Series event, with the season concluding in Hamburg on 15/16 June. "Choosing to go to Stockholm, it is an important decision, I haven't raced too much this year and just for race practice and race feel, it should help, I would like to do the two remaining World Series events," she said. "But the ultimate aim is to get to the start line in Rio fit and healthy. "We will play things by ear. We need to have a plan but a very flexible one."

The funding is being announced at an international summit about the illness in London on Thursday. About 45,000 people suffer from the condition in Wales and about 800,000 in the UK. The UKDP brings together industry expertise and investigating teams from eight UK universities. Their work will create one of the world's largest ever study groups for research into dementia, with more than two million people said to be taking part. The research will investigate the causes of dementia across a range of different neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease. Dr John Gallacher, from Cardiff University's School of Medicine and director of UKDP, said: "We now know that neurodegeneration can be linked to changes taking place in parts of the body seemingly unrelated to the brain and many years before dementia is diagnosed. "For example, inflammation or infection in a completely different organ may be related to the development of dementia or to accelerating the onset in people with the disease. "So it's imperative that we look at the different stages of disease development: people who are yet to develop dementia, those who are known to be at risk of developing it, and those who are already in the early stages of the disease. "By looking at the links between development of the disease and other factors - such as diet or illness - we hope to unearth targets for new drugs or new uses for existing drugs." Hosting the London dementia summit, Prime Minister David Cameron will call for a "big, bold global push" on dementia. Experts and health officials from other G7 countries are expected to attend. Thursday's event in London comes six months after the UK hosted a summit where leading nations committed to developing a cure or treatment for dementia by 2025. The UK government's Science Minister David Willetts said: "This new £16m UK Dementia Platform will create the world's largest ever study group for research into dementia, ensuring that data is freely available to support the work of international scientists in this very important area." Talks on the Thamesteel site in Sheerness have been taking place for "many months", said Gordon Henderson MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey. He said the new plans for the plant could see the creation of up to 120 jobs. The new plant would be a rolling mill and would not produce any steel. Mr Henderson said: "We have some fantastic steel workers remaining on Sheppey, and the company involved knows that there is a strong workforce available to them. "The negotiations are taking place and if they are successful they will not result in an opening of the steel mill itself," he said. "Steel will not be produced on Sheppey. This is all about reopening the rolling mill which would entail importing steel billets, rolling them and then shipping them back out again. "It will still involve creating 100 to 120 jobs which are jobs which we desperately need." Thamesteel was first bought by the Al-Tuwairqi Group (ATG) in 2002 when its previous owners went into liquidation. ATG bought back the plant in June 2012, six months after it closed. The body's grant has been slashed by 11% for next year. Mr Pullman told BBC Cymru Fyw the Welsh government has a responsibility towards culture and language. The Welsh government said it was discussing efficiency savings with the books council. Mr Pullman, who grew up in Harlech, Gwynedd, wrote the trilogy His Dark Materials, said: "In a sense it's little of my business. In another it's very much my business. "My education in Wales gave me a lifelong love of the sound of the Welsh language and of the high regard that Welsh people have for poetry and music and culture in general. "So it was a natural impulse to support Welsh writers, publishers, and others concerned with the production of books in Wales in their protest against the cuts being proposed in the Welsh Books Council's budget." He added: "In a democratic age, if we want to allow imagination to flourish, subsidy has to come through a democratic route. "I hope the Welsh government will think again and realise the depth of their responsibility towards the languages of Wales and the culture that they have always expressed so richly." Social phobia - one of the most common anxiety disorders - is a persistent fear of social situations. A review of 101 clinical trials found talking therapies were more effective and more long lasting than medication. Medication should be used only when psychological treatments are turned down, said the UK/US team behind the study in The Lancet Psychiatry. "Social anxiety is more than just shyness," said Dr Evan Mayo-Wilson, of the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, a co-researcher on the study. "The good news from our study is that social anxiety is treatable. Now that we know what works best, we need to improve access to psychotherapy for those who are suffering." The study, involving more than 13,000 participants, compared different types of psychological therapy with medications such as antidepressants and benzodiazepines. It found cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) on a one-to-one basis was the most effective. CBT is a talking therapy that can help people manage their problems by changing the way they think and behave. The research was carried out in collaboration with Oxford University and University College London. Navidi has has signed a new contract with Blues that will keep him at Cardiff Arms Park until at least 2019. The 24-year-old Wales flanker has been Blues' player of the year for the last two seasons and is glad to be staying at the region. "I had offers from elsewhere but it was a good offer from the Blues," Navidi said. "They've been a good club to me and another three years with Danny [Wilson, head coach] coming in as well, a lot's going to change." Navidi made his senior Blues debut in 2009 against Leinster and is closing in on a century of appearances for the Welsh region. The Bridgend-born forward captained Wales at Under-20 level and made his senior international debut in 2013 against Japan in Tokyo. He was overlooked for Wales' World Cup training squad but is pleased to have resolved his Blues future ahead of the new Pro12 season. "I'm delighted to get it done and dusted so early in the season with another year left on my other contract," Navidi added. "I can just concentrate on my game now." Blues begin their 2015-16 Pro12 campaign on home soil against Zebre on 6 September. They include a new setting that filters out age-inappropriate titles, so that youngsters do not see them in Google Play's market places. The move was announced at the search giant's annual developers' conference. It follows the firm's decision to hand over responsibility for age-rating its apps to a third party. Google Play was created just over three years ago, and sells films, ebooks, music, magazines and apps for Android devices. The store has more than one billion active users, and has recorded more than 50 billion app downloads over the last 12 months. Last year's release of Android Lollipop added the ability to set up "restricted profiles", which can be used to prevent access to some apps, including the Play service itself. The new update presents a version of Play that screens out potentially unsuitable content and highlights child-focused material. Users will not, however, be locked into this version of the store, so parents may still wish to supervise their children's activity. A new label will be used to flag titles that are ad-supported and new icons will provide information about the age range at which an app is targeted. It coincides with a switchover to a new grading scheme run by the International Age Rating Coalition. The body will issue age classifications based on an app's content - taking into account factors such as nudity, violence and references to gambling and drugs. Unlike Google's earlier self-run system, the ratings will also be location-specific. So, an app might get a different grade for users in North America to those in Europe, Brazil or Australia. Read more about how the new app rating scheme works Google is also making other child-focused changes including: "The character pages will include, for instance, Dora the Explorer where familiar icons can be associated with a broad range of content, including ebooks, TV and video," Mark Bennett, head of Google Play's Europe team, told the BBC. "Parents will be able to go to those pages and their children explore the franchise." The effort echoes the Kids Corner and My Family facilities found on Microsoft's Windows Phone platform, which already restrict which apps a child can access and download. But one child safety charity noted that some of the innovations had not been seen elsewhere. "One of the things I really like with the new features is the family badge which will help parents easily identify family-friendly content," said Jennifer Hanley from the Family Online Safety Institute. "The more companies can do to notify parents about ratings for content and age-appropriate games as well as what to expect in apps, the better." Google also announced new developer-focused changes to Play. They include a new tool that will allow app makers to advertise their products within the results of the store's search feature. It said this was a commonly requested feature by publishers, but it will also generate a new source of revenue for the search firm. Search ads will not be shown in the Google Play for Families section. In addition, developers will be able to carry out what is known as A/B testing. This allows them to concurrently run two different versions of the same app promotion page within Play in order to see which leads to more sales. They will also be able to create a new home page for their brand, from which they can promote a range of apps. The Mercedes driver ran the device, which is to be introduced into F1 in 2018, for about half the first practice session and set the fastest time with it on the car. One concern was whether the 'halo' would affect visibility on steep hills, but Rosberg said that was not the case. "They have done a great job because it doesn't disturb me at all," he said. "It just increases the safety a lot. I know it's not nice-looking from the outside. It doesn't make the cars prettier. But if it is such a big step in safety, then I think it is a good thing." Read Friday's second practice report as the two Red Bulls set fastest times Governing body the FIA had intended to introduce the 'halo' next year but the strategy group of leading bosses voted last month to delay it by a year so further research could be conducted. FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting wants most of the teams and drivers to run with it during a practice session over the remainder of this year. Spa was considered to be a good test of its effect on visibility because there are several hilly sections, most noticeably the famous Eau Rouge swerves. These are taken at more than 180mph and feature a downhill entry, a compression and then a steep rise over a crest. Rosberg said he had not even noticed the 'halo' was on the car when going through Eau Rouge flat out. "You don't even notice the top part," he said, adding that he felt the top of the halo could even be made lower if necessary without impinging on visibility. Media playback is not supported on this device Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz also reported no visibility problems at Eau Rouge. But Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, who also ran with the 'halo' in the session, gave more mixed reviews. Ricciardo - like Rosberg, a strong supporter of the plans for increased head protection - said it was "not too bad", but added: "It's definitely a work in progress." Hulkenberg, who has been more equivocal about the 'halo', said: "It was a weird feeling, and to have something there which limits you was obviously a new experience. "I have to say visibility wasn't too bad, I don't think that was an issue. It will take time to get used to." He added that he had done only one lap with it, which was "nowhere near enough to properly understand". Scottish Natural Heritage and Police Scotland said Ben Wyvis near Garve, north of Dingwall, was a protected site of special scientific interest. Ben Wyvis, from the Gaelic "Beinn-Uais", meaning "awesome mountain", has important plant and animal habitats. Its birds include dotterel, a globally threatened migratory species. SNH and police said the illegal use of off-road vehicles has also been found at another protected Highlands site, Loch Fleet near Golspie. While it has been an ongoing issue, SNH and police said there was "a spike" last month in damage caused by quad bikes, motorbikes and motorised karts to Ben Wyvis, a Munro of 1,046m (3,431ft) metres, and sand dunes at Loch Fleet. Police Scotland wildlife crime officer Dan Sutherland said: "The use of off-road vehicles on protected sites such as Loch Fleet and Ben Wyvis is not only damaging to habitats and wildlife, but may also pose a hazard to members of the public who are responsibly accessing these sites for recreation. "The use of motorised vehicles on any land without permission is an offence, and other offences may be committed against wildlife legislation." Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve manager Adam Rose said there had been "a spate of damage" caused by quad bikes, motorbikes and off-road karts in recent months. He said: "Sand dune habitats are sensitive to damage from vehicle use and damaged areas can take a long time to recover, particularly where the sand and soil are exposed to the elements. "Large ruts, doughnuts and long skid-marks, as we have had recently Loch Fleet, are particularly damaging as they take longer to restore. "Of course, this takes even longer where there has been repeated damage to one area. As well as the physical damage to the site, internationally important populations of birds that overwinter at Loch Fleet may be disturbed." Buses came to Muadhamiya on Friday to pick up displaced residents of nearby Darayya, another rebel bastion that was evacuated after surrendering last week. They will go to a temporary housing area in government-controlled Harjaleh. There are unconfirmed reports that once the last person from Darayya has left, Muadhamiya will itself surrender. Sources told the AFP news agency that negotiations were under way to secure a deal under which rebels would leave the suburb but civilians would remain. Muadhamiya has been under siege since 2012, and an estimated 28,000 people are trapped there with dwindling supplies of food and medicine. A limited truce deal signed in late 2013 has seen the suburb spared the heavy fighting that has ravaged other rebel-held areas, including Darayya. Under the deal that resulted in their surrender eight days ago, some 4,000 Darayya residents were moved to shelters in Harjaleh and 700 rebel fighters and their families were transported by bus to the north-western rebel-held city of Idlib. The 303 people from Darayya who began leaving Muadhamiya on Friday were being relocated after benefitting from a presidential amnesty declared in late July, the official Sana news agency reported. "The heroic acts of the Syrian army in Darayya led to the achievement in Muadhamiya," declared Damascus Countryside Governor Alaa Munir Ibrahim. On Thursday, the UN special envoy to Syria warned that the forced displacement of Darayya's entire population had set an alarming precedent. Staffan de Mistura said there were "indications that after Darayya we may have other Darayyas", adding that the government clearly had a "strategy". Mr de Mistura's humanitarian adviser, Jan Egeland, said the UN had received urgent pleas from people in Muadhamiya, as well as Madaya, a town in the mountains west of Damascus, and the Homs suburb of al-Waer. Syrian National Reconciliation Minister Ali Haidar said earlier this week that "isolated cantons that pose a threat to the state" could not be allowed to remain. Rebels still control large parts of the Ghouta agricultural belt around Damascus. Non-domestic rates, also known as business rates, have been under review by an independent group set up by finance secretary Derek Mackay. Ken Barclay, former chairman of the Scottish board of Royal Bank of Scotland, has led a panel considering ways to improve the system. The remit required the five-member board to consider ways in which it could be fairer, while creating incentives for growth, and reflecting changes in the economy. Since the review began, more than a year ago, criticism of the business rates system has mounted. It was already under fire for being linked to inflation while council tax was frozen, and for the absence of any link to turnover, profit or ability to pay. For many businesses, the rates bill is the second biggest cost, after staff pay. Earlier this year, the revaluation - based on notional rental values for commercial property in 2015 - led to sharp increases for some. Bills are based on a "poundage" of roughly 50p, which means businesses pay around half the annual rental value in business rates. However, there are significant exemptions and reliefs, including charities, places of worship and many sports facilities. The five-year revaluation cycle had been delayed, so this year's changes reflected a gap of seven years from 2008. Coming out of deep recession, there had been substantial shifts in property values for different types of firm in different parts of the country. In north-east Scotland, these failed to reflect the regional economic downturn that accompanied the oil price fall between 2015 and 2017. The Scottish government stepped in with a relief package for north-east businesses, and also for the hospitality industry. Since 2008, the Scottish government has also taken thousands of smaller premises out of the reach of business rates, by raising the threshold at which they start to be paid. Most of that has been financed by a supplement on business rates for larger firms, running this year at twice the supplement for businesses in England. The next revaluation is due in 2022, based on prices in 2020. Council tax, for domestic property, has not been revalued since the early 1990s. In addition to Ken Barclay, the members of the review team were business consultant Professor Russel Griggs, former civil servant and local government finance expert David Henderson: lawyer Isobel d'Inverno: and Nora Senior, former president of the British Chambers of Commerce. Morgan, 30, opted out of this month's tour because of security concerns, with Jos Buttler leading the one-day team to a 2-1 series win. England's next white-ball assignments are three ODIs and three Twenty20s against India starting on 15 January. "Morgan deserves it. His team is continually improving," Farbrace said. Opening batsman Alex Hales joined Morgan in missing the Bangladesh tour and the decisions were met with surprise in some quarters, while England director of cricket Andrew Strauss was "disappointed". Former England captain Michael Vaughan described Morgan's decision as a "huge mistake", while Nasser Hussain, another ex-skipper of the national side, said Morgan "should be with his team". Farbrace said it was great that Buttler had had the experience of leading the side but added: "Morgan will definitely be captain in India. There can't be any way around it." England's short-format fortunes have risen considerably since the group-stage exit from the 50-over World Cup in 2015. Earlier this summer they beat Sri Lanka and Pakistan in their ODI series, having also reached the final of the World Twenty20. The team's attacking style of play - underlined by a record score against Pakistan in August - has also come in for plenty of praise and Farbrace credited Morgan for leading the development. "He has definitely been the leader and allowed so many guys to play that way," Farbrace said. Lancashire's Buttler demonstrated his attacking credentials once again with two half-centuries during the three ODIs this month, finishing with 145 runs at an average of 48 with a top score of 63. However, the 26-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has not played Test cricket since October 2015 after being dropped because of poor form. But with England set to play five Tests against the world's top-ranked side India starting in November, Farbrace believes Buttler can win back his place. "The way he has batted out here, he has looked like he's been batting on different pitches," Farbrace said. "If he can play that way in red-ball cricket, there's no reason he shouldn't be seen as a batter. "He's on this trip as the second 'keeper to start with, but if he gets an opportunity and plays that way again, there is no reason he can't get back into the side. "He's shown real maturity with the bat and looked high quality." Canterbury Cathedral will also receive £12.8m to replace its leaking roof and conserve its stonework and stained glass. Bristol Old Vic has been awarded £2.3m to create a heritage centre and reinstate Georgian features. The Heritage Lottery Fund's chairman said the investment was "not just about buildings". For more stories about England's quirky buildings follow our Pinterest board Sir Peter Luff added: "It's also about the people and communities whose lives they changed in the past - and will change in the future. "It's about the tourism and regeneration that will boost local economies, about the new jobs, the new training programmes and the new volunteering roles that will be created. "It's also about the visitors from all walks of life who will gain new insights into our shared heritage." In addition to the repairs in Canterbury, visitors will also benefit from a new welcome centre and a pass allowing free access to the cathedral for those who live, work and study in the city. Plans for Bristol's theatre include restoring the 18th Century Coopers' Hall, uncovering the original facade and digitising and cataloguing 250 years' worth of artefacts. The cash will also help make the building's "thunder run" - which recreates the sound of thunder above the auditorium by rolling weighted balls into the rafters - accessible to the public for the first time. Its chief executive Emma Stenning said: "Bristol Old Vic has long cherished the very special place that it holds in the hearts of Bristolians far and wide. "It's a feeling that has inspired our heritage project and we hope that in protecting and sharing the architecture and archives of the theatre in new and exciting ways, we are in fact creating a celebration of the people of this city, who have cared for it, without fail, for so many years." The Beamish Museum in County Durham has been awarded £10.9m to create a new 1950s exhibition. The site will see Spain's Field Farm in Weardale moved brick by brick to the open air museum, as well as the recreation of a chip shop, police houses, allotments and a bowling green. The French company, best known for its £8,000 Birkin bags and £300 silk scarves, posted a 13% rise in profits to 1.1bn euros (£952m). Chief executive Axel Dumas said Hermes did "better than expected" last year and was entering 2017 on a "solid base". However, he said he remained cautious given the "uncertain environment". The results hint at a wider recovery in the luxury goods market. Last month, its French rival LVMH reported record sales. Hermes said sales of its leather goods and saddlery, which account for half of the group's sales, rose by 14%, aided by the success of the Constance, Halzan, Lindy, Birkin and Kelly bags. Silk and textile sales, which earlier in the year were affected by terror attacks in Europe and slowing sales in China, picked up towards the end of 2016. They ended the year 1% lower. Perfume sales rose by 9%, helped by the launch of new fragrances. However, watch sales slipped 3%, "penalised by a still challenging market" and a high comparison basis at year-end. Hermes said it would continue with its long-term development strategy. "In the medium term, despite growing economic, geopolitical and monetary uncertainties around the world, the group confirms an ambitious target of growth rate for revenue at constant exchange rates," it added. Shares in Hermes slipped 2.45 euros to 426 euros, but have risen more than a third in the past 12 months. Six groups have been approved, but delays in confirming underwriters pushed back the timeframe for listings. The Yangon Stock Exchange is housed in a newly restored colonial-era building. It underlines Myanmar's drive to revitalise its economy, following the victory by Aung San Suu Kyi's pro-democracy party in elections last month. The lack of active trading did not stop officials from screening a mock-up of the stock exchange for guests. The companies to be listed include the Japan-backed Thilawa Special Economic Zone and First Myanmar Investment run by tycoon Serge Pun. Vice-President Nyan Tun, who rang the opening bell, said he hoped the bourse would become a regional player. David Grayson, chief executive of New York-based brokerage Auerbach Grayson, said there was strong interest from investors in Myanmar and it was a positive sign that officials had promoted their plans for the market abroad. Deputy finance minister Muang Muang Thien met financial institutions and other investors in New York in October and visited the New York Stock Exchange's trading floor. However, Mixo Das, an analyst with Nomura in Singapore, said the bourse would need to build a track record of good governance, trading history and market liquidity. "I think the stock exchange in Myanmar will be much like the ones in Laos or Cambodia - more as a source of national pride and learning experience for the first several years," he said. The bourse in Laos has just two companies listed, while Cambodia's stock exchange has attracted just one. Rajiv Biswas, of IHS Global Insight, said the exchange would help develop the country's financial system, with the listing of larger banks and companies promising to help set up equity and pension funds. It could also help a new government, run by Ms Suu Kyi and her party, privatise some state-owned enterprises, he added. Myanmar has been under military rule for about half a century and faces challenges including rampant corruption, a murky legal system, dismal infrastructure and a widespread distrust of the financial system. The country of 51 million people has abundant natural resources and is well positioned between India, China and southeast Asia. Amazon, Google's DeepMind, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft will work together on issues such as privacy, safety and the collaboration between people and AI. Dubbed the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, it will include external experts. One said he hoped the group would address "legitimate concerns". "We've seen a very fast development in AI over a very short period of time," said Prof Yoshua Bengio, from the University of Montreal. "The field brings exciting opportunities for companies and public organisations. And yet, it raises legitimate questions about the way these developments will be conducted." Bringing the key players together would be the "best way to ensure we all share the same values and overall objectives to serve the common good", he added. One notable absentee from the consortium is Apple. It has been in discussions with the group and may join the partnership "soon", according to one member. The group will have an equal share of corporate and non-corporate members and is in discussions with organisations such as the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence and the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence. It stressed that it had no plans to "lobby government or other policy-making bodies". "AI has tremendous potential to improve many aspects of life, ranging from healthcare, education and manufacturing to home automation and transport and the founding members... hope to maximise this potential and ensure it benefits as many people as possible," it said. It will conduct research under an open licence in the following areas: Microsoft's managing director of research hailed the partnership as a "historic collaboration on AI and its influences on people and society", while IBM's ethics researcher Francesca Rossi said it would provide "a vital voice in the advancement of the defining technology of this century". Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Google's artificial intelligence division, DeepMind, said he hoped the group would be able to "break down barriers for AI teams to share best practice and research ways to maximise societal benefits and tackle ethical concerns". And Amazon's director of machine learning, Ralf Herbrich, said the time was ripe for such a collaboration. "We're in a golden age of machine learning and AI," he said. "As a scientific community, we are still a long way from being able to do things the way humans do things, but we're solving unbelievably complex problems every day and making incredibly rapid progress." Artificial intelligence is beginning to find roles in the real world - from the basic AI used in smartphone voice assistants and web chatbots to AI agents that can take on data analysis to significant breakthroughs such as DeepMind's victory over champion Go player Lee Sedol. The win - in one of the world's most complex board games - was hailed as a defining moment for AI, with experts saying it had come a decade earlier than anyone had predicted. DeepMind now has 250 scientists at its King's Cross headquarters, working on a variety of projects, including several tie-ins with the NHS to analyse medical records. In a lecture at the Royal Academy of Engineering, founder Dr Demis Hassabis revealed the team was now working on creating an artificial hippocampus, an area of the brain regarded by neuroscientists as responsible for emotion, creativity, memory and other human attributes. But as AI has developed, so have concerns about where the technology is heading. One of the most vocal and high-profile naysayers is Tesla's chief executive, Elon Musk, who has tweeted the technology is "potentially more dangerous than nukes [nuclear weapons]" and expressed concerns humans were "just the biological boot loader for digital super-intelligence". Last year, Mr Musk set up his own non-profit AI group, OpenAI. It is not, at this stage, part of the Partnership on AI. Scrum-half Ben Spencer rotates with Richard Wigglesworth for his seventh Premiership appearance of the season. Wasps have Elliot Daly back at centre after his release from England duty. New signing Siale Piutau starts next to him, allowing the Tonga international to play for the first time alongside his brother, All Black Charles. But Wasps have lost lock forward James Gaskell, who now needs surgery on a foot injury sustained in a narrow home win over Newcastle, which is likely to sideline him for the rest of the season. After three successive Premiership wins, Wasps are looking to make it four in a row for the first time since the 2012-13 season. But they are up against the reigning champions, who start the day 17 points better off than Wasps, having lost just once in 11 league games this season. Saracens have also won their last nine meetings with Wasps since losing 20-15 in the annual Double Header at Twickenham in 2011. Wasps will be making only their second trip to Allianz Park, where they lost 19-12 on their last visit in October 2013. Wasps director of rugby Dai Young: "We just got over the line last weekend against Newcastle and know we will need to up our game. "Saracens are the form team, not only in England but also in Europe. They are really accurate and efficient in everything they do and excel at pressurising the opposition into making mistakes. "It's essential to match their accuracy and minimise errors. It doesn't come any harder than playing at the home of the Premiership champions, but we know on our day we can compete with the very best." Saracens: Bosch; Ellery, Tompkins, Barritt, Wyles; Hodgson, Spencer; Barrington, Brits, Du Plessis, Hamilton, Hargreaves (capt), Rhodes, Burger, Vunisa Replacements: Saunders, Gill, Lamositele, Smith, Fraser, Wigglesworth, Mordt, Ransom Wasps: C Piutau; Wade, Daly, S Piutau, Bassett; Jackson, Robson; McIntyre, Johnson, Cooper-Woolley, Cannon, Myall, Young, Smith (capt), Hughes Replacements: Festuccia, Mullan, Swainston, Rowlands, Rieder, Stevenson, Gopperth, Miller For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. The cleaning company director has an eye on his next much-needed holiday, and is one of a growing number of stay-at-home tourists who are shunning foreign travel in favour of destinations across Australia. Since mid-2014, the Australian dollar has fallen by around 25% against its US cousin, and has been out-muscled by the British pound. While many of Christian's friends unwind in Thailand and the Indonesian island of Bali, he now prefers his own backyard. "The dollar is down so we are getting more bang for our buck," he told the BBC. "Noosa (on Queensland's Sunshine Coast) is one of our favourite spots. I'm off to Batemans's Bay (280km south of Sydney) in a couple of weeks. "Melbourne, Tasmania - you name it. We're laughing. We're blessed in Australia. It's not rocket science. Everyone is trying to get to Australia. It is the best country in the world," he says. Not everyone will agree, but what is not in dispute is the growing popularity of Australian vacations among both foreign travellers and the locals. Official figures show that almost 620,000 international tourists came in August, a rise of about 2%, while the number of Aussies heading overseas dipped by 0.7%. "We are continually seeing very high numbers of short-term overseas arrivals and fewer Australians are deciding to go offshore because the currency has fallen by so much, and domestic trips become cheaper for them," explains Diana Mousina, an economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The Australian dollar is being weighed down by various factors, including falling commodity prices that have hit the nation's terms of trade, which measures the value of exports compared to imports. The re-energised US dollar and Australia's relatively high interest rates play a part, too. A long resources boom that helped to ward off the worst effects of the global recession is fading, and Australia's economy is in transition as it seeks new ways to prosperity. "Tourism is extremely important. I think that people actually forget it is our third largest export," Ms Mousina says. The domestic travel industry employs around 530,000 Australians, many in areas far beyond the major cities where jobs can be scarce. The sector packs a mightier financial punch than agriculture, and generates about A$43bn ($31.2bn; £20.6bn) each year. Australia's Reserve Bank believes a weaker currency will help make the nation's shift towards a non-mining future far smoother. Not everyone wins, of course, but central bankers take the view that cheaper exports are broadly beneficial. The Aussie dollar sits around at around $72 cents, and economists forecast it could tumble even further against the US currency. This would inject more vigour into the tourism trade. But Dr Ranald Taylor, from Murdoch University, believes that it is foreigners, not the locals, who will make a significant difference. "There is little doubt that the domestic tourism industry in Australia will expand, but not driven by locals but by overseas visitors, particularly the people from China, Singapore and Malaysia," he says. He doesn't think that a depreciating currency will stop Australians travelling overseas because of affordable air travel and the high cost of holidaying at home. "Australia is expensive," he says. "No matter how you look at it, the hotels, food and accommodation are still much cheaper overseas than Australia. "If I am an Australian, I would go to Bali for my annual holiday. It is a lot cheaper. For very little money you can stay in a high-end hotel. Over here you would be lucky to get a caravan for that kind of money." Many foreigners, though, are happy to pay. Last year, Chinese visitors pumped US$4bn into the Australian economy. That figure could more than double by the end of the decade, according to some estimates. Stephen Arnerich, the owner of Sydney-based Runaway Tours, which offers foreign-language excursions, believes that the tourism industry is rebounding. "The American market has been fairly slow because the Australian dollar has been quite high, and also the American economy hasn't be so great, either. "But in the last six months, or so, we are seeing more Americans coming through. We're getting lots of clients coming through from the Chinese market. It is getting much more popular," he says. Many Australians are also rediscovering the beauty and diversity of their own country. "Where we can, we do like to stay local because there is lots to see and do at home," says Jennifer, a mother-of-two from Manly, in Sydney. She has recently returned from a trip to the Queensland city of Cairns, but will head off to Fiji, in the South Pacific, on the next family getaway. But despite the dollar's weakening buying power overseas, she believes that Australians will always be curious to explore what lies beyond the horizon. "I think we are just born travellers and no matter what the dollar is doing we are not going to stop travelling." Mr Kalanick's parents Bonnie and Donald were out on a lake in Fresno when their boat sank on Friday. Mrs Kalanick, 71, and her husband were found on the shore of Pine Flat Lake by the emergency services. Fresno County Sheriff's Office said a preliminary investigation suggested their boat had struck a rock, with the Kalanicks both hurt in the collision. A spokesman for Uber said the family had suffered "an unspeakable tragedy", adding that Mr Kalanick's father was in a "serious condition". An investigation into the accident is ongoing, the sheriff's department said, with an autopsy due to be carried out on Sunday. Mr Kalanick hit the headlines earlier this year when he was filmed swearing at one of his company's drivers. He later said he was "ashamed" of his behaviour in an email to staff. His eight-day trip will also take in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Brussels, the Vatican and Sicily. It comes as Mr Trump faces uproar at home following his sacking of FBI director James Comey. He has strongly criticised the decision to appoint a special counsel to oversee an inquiry into alleged Russian influence on the US election. The trip takes in the capitals of the three major monotheistic religions - Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Mr Trump will attend the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh and speak about his "hopes of a peaceful vision of Islam," the White House said. US National Security Adviser HR McMaster said the president would deliver a speech expressing hope that such a vision would resonate worldwide. "What President Trump is seeking is to unite peoples of all faiths around a common vision of peace, progress and prosperity," he told reporters. Mr Trump caused controversy during his campaign by calling for Muslims to be temporarily banned from entering the US over security concerns. Legislation aimed at restricting travel from several Muslim-majority countries remains tied up in the US courts. The summit agenda is expected to focus on combating Islamist militants and the growing regional influence of Iran. Mr Trump has been a fierce critic of the Iran deal which eased sanctions in return for a curb on its nuclear activities. One leader who will not be attending the summit will be Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir. President Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges and the US was reported to be unhappy about his planned attendance. Unlike his predecessor, Barack Obama, Mr Trump is not expected to highlight human rights during his trip. Bruce Riedel, of the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington, told Reuters news agency that the Saudis "don't want any more talk about human rights, democracy, political reform or gender equality". "They had enough of that from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They're pretty confident they're not going to hear it from Donald Trump," he said. Aside from the formal diplomacy, US country music star Toby Keith will perform a free concert in Riyadh on Saturday alongside Saudi singer Rabeh Sager. Saudi Arabia, which enforces a strict interpretation of Islam including a total ban on alcohol, is perhaps an unusual venue for Keith - whose hits include I Love This Bar, Whiskey Girl, and Drunk Americans. Saturday's concert is open only to men aged over 21 who are required to dress in traditional Saudi tunics. On Monday, Mr Trump will fly to Tel Aviv and travel on to Jerusalem where he will meet President Reuven Rivlin. He is due to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as well as the Western Wall before holding talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Observers will be watching to see if Mr Trump refers to his announcement during the election campaign, that he would break with decades of US policy and move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The status of Jerusalem is one of the most sensitive and complex issues within the Middle East conflict and no country in the world currently has its embassy there. On Tuesday, Mr Trump will travel to Bethlehem in the West Bank for talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Peace talks with Israel will top the agenda and Mr Trump is expected to express his support for Palestinian "self-determination". President Trump will arrive early in Rome and have an audience with Pope Francis at the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The two men have appeared at odds on many subjects including climate change and the plight of refugees, but the Pope has said he will give the president an open-minded hearing. Later, Mr Trump flies to Brussels where he will be greeted by King Philippe and Prime Minister Charles Michel. After talks with EU leaders and France's new President Emmanuel Macron, Mr Trump will attend a meeting of Nato leaders. This will be closely watched after Mr Trump's conflicting pronouncements on the alliance. During his campaign, he called Nato "obsolete" although in April he reversed his stance. The US leader is expected to repeat his demand that other Nato members increase their contributions. The last stop on Mr Trump's tour will be the picturesque Sicilian town of Taormina where he will attend a G7 summit. Correspondents say the other G7 leaders are eager to hear Mr Trump's thoughts on trade and other issues at first hand. Mr McMaster has said that the president will "press America's economic agenda and call for greater security co-operation". 13 June 2017 Last updated at 06:48 BST Every year pods of orcas make a journey from Iceland to Orkney and John O'Groats in Scotland. The underwater mammals migrate every year for food and it gives people the chance to spot them up close. Scientists want people to look out for the orcas, as they want to learn more about their migration patterns. Kathy James from the Sea Watch Foundation explains: "It's relatively easy to see land animals and the habitats they're using, but it's more difficult to see animals that live under the sea. The only way we can see where they are and what they're doing is if people report that to us." Ayshah went to meet some young whale watchers at a special event called Orca Watch to see what she could spot. Mr Ferrand's partner, Sandrine Doucen, allegedly profited from a property deal while he was head of a health insurance fund renting office space from her. He denies wrongdoing. Separately, one of Mr Macron's junior ministers is also suspected of financial impropriety. The timing is awkward for Mr Macron, as he launches an ethical standards bill. He has made clean government a flagship policy, after financial misconduct allegations hit his main rivals in the presidential election - National Front (FN) leader Marine Le Pen and conservative Republicans candidate François Fillon. His new centrist party, La République en Marche (Republic on the move), wants to win convincingly in key parliamentary elections this month. Polls suggest the party can win, but the well-established party machines of the Socialists and Republicans are formidable rivals. Mr Ferrand, who is Territorial Cohesion Minister, managed a Brittany fund called Mutuelles de Bretagne in 1998-2012. A prosecutor in the western city of Brest has opened an investigation to see if any of Mr Ferrand's actions might be deemed illegal. The satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné raised suspicions about Mr Ferrand last week. It also alleged that his son had worked as a parliamentary assistant in 2014, which the minister dismissed as minor work which lasted for only four months. Meanwhile junior European Affairs Minister Marielle de Sarnez is among 19 French MEPs under investigation over their hiring of assistants. Seventeen of them - including Ms Le Pen - are in the FN. Ms Sarnez denied wrongdoing and threatened to sue the FN member who made the allegations against her. Parliamentary assistants on the EU payroll in Strasbourg were allegedly given work in French national constituencies, which violates EU rules. At a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Macron urged his ministers to show "solidarity" and "responsibility". Mr Macron is against MPs working as consultants or employing family members. The Greens became the second largest party in Liverpool and Solihull, replacing the Liberal Democrats in each case. With 151 of 161 councils declared, the party had gained 17 councillors overall across England. Ms Bennett also pointed to Bristol, where the Green Party gained two seats. In Liverpool it won two new councillors, and three in Solihull. Ms Bennett, who was elected leader in 2012, told the BBC: "We are seeing progress right around the country. "We're becoming much more of a national party." Ms Bennett has said her party could triple its number of MEPs from two to six in the European elections, which were also held on Thursday. The results for the European elections are due to start coming in late Sunday, when voting has finished across the EU. She has accused the main political parties of "pandering" to UKIP and complained that Nigel Farage's party had been able to "capture the agenda". Thomas Shannon, a counsellor to the US Secretary of State, met the chairman of Venezuela's national assembly, Diosdado Cabello. Venezuelan officials tweeted that both sides had been working to resolve the crisis in their relations. Earlier this year, Venezuela accused the US of plotting a coup and the US declared Caracas a security threat. Venezuela ordered the US to reduce its embassy staff and imposed a visa requirement on US visitors. In turn, the US ordered sanctions against seven Venezuelan officials it accused of corruption and rights abuses. There have been other high-profile meetings between the two sides this year. In April, President Nicolas Maduro met Thomas Shannon in Caracas. Correspondents say both sides have lowered the tone in recent weeks. The latest meeting comes after reports in US media that Washington is investigating Diosdado Cabello over alleged involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering. Mr Cabello has denied the allegations. He was speaking hours after the US and Arab allies launched their first air strikes against IS in Syria. Activists say at least 70 IS militants and 50 other al-Qaeda-linked fighters were killed in the strikes. US state department spokeswoman Jan Psaki said the US had warned Syria in advance "not to engage US aircraft". But she added that Washington had not requested permission or given advance notice of the timing of the attacks. President Obama confirmed that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Bahrain and Qatar had taken part in or supported the strikes. He said the US was "proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these nations". The Pentagon said warplanes, drones and Tomahawk cruise missiles were used in the strikes. IS has seized large areas of Syria and Iraq, and the US has launched nearly 200 air strikes in Iraq since August. But Monday's strikes expanded the anti-IS campaign across the border into Syria for the first time. The strikes targeted the group's main headquarters in its stronghold of Raqqa, north-eastern Syria, as well as training compounds, vehicles and storage facilities in several other areas. They were organised in three separate waves with US fighter jets carrying out the first set, and Arab nations participating in the second and third, Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant General Bill Mayville told reporters. Later on Tuesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the US would not "allow geography or borders" to prevent action against IS militants. "We will hold them responsible for their grotesque atrocities," he said at the United Nations in New York, flanked by Iraq's president and foreign minister. President Obama said al-Qaeda-linked militants, known as the Khorasan Group, were also targeted with air strikes in Syria. US officials say the group had been plotting "imminent attacks" against the West, and had established a safe haven west of Aleppo. As well as informing Syria's government of the impending strikes, the US reportedly told Iranian officials attacks were imminent, Reuters reports. In other reaction: The Pentagon set out three broad groups of targets arranged in an arc across northern Syria. Those closest to the Mediterranean coast seem to have been hit largely by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from warships - this is an area where Syrian government air defences may still have coverage. In a briefing Lt Gen William Mayville noted that Syrian air defences were "passive", as he put it, during the course of the operation. This suggests a conscious decision by Syrian commanders who perhaps feared that active scanning by their defences might draw down air attacks upon them. The operation was notable for involving aircraft from Jordan and from Washington's Gulf allies. It also marked the first use in combat of one of the USAF's most modern aircraft, the F-22 Raptor. This, the Pentagon is stressing, is just the start of "a sustained air campaign", the tempo of which, says a Pentagon spokesman, "will be dictated by facts on the ground". US pundits question Syria air strikes Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, quoted by state media, said he supports any international efforts to combat "terrorism" in Syria. Analysts say it is significant that countries with a Sunni majority, like Jordan and Saudi Arabia, are among those supporting US efforts against IS. IS members are jihadists who adhere to an extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam and consider themselves the only true believers. Who are Islamic State (IS)? The fires, which started between 02:30 and 04:00, were in George Street, Stirling Road and Station Road. A number of occupants had to be evacuated from the affected properties but no one was injured. Firefighters from Dunblane, Bridge of Allan and Stirling were sent to deal with the fires, which were all extinguished. A police spokesman said: "Police Scotland is investigating, in conjunction with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, three suspicious fires at addresses in Dunblane. "The incidents happened between 2.30am and 4am on Saturday. "The occupants of some of the affected properties had to be evacuated, however nobody was injured. A male has currently been detained." Employees may be liable for a tax charge if their bosses spend more than £150 per head during the year on entertaining staff, tax rules state. The £150 allowance had not changed since June 2003, said tax partner Andy Sanford, of Blick Rothenberg. He said that firms should monitor expenditure or face affecting morale. Entertainment of staff is considered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as a benefit in kind which is taxable. So after the £150 allowance, a tax bill could be levied on individual employees. However, firms could enter a settlement agreement that would ensure employers covered the cost, rather than employees. "[That] would be a nice Christmas present," Mr Sanford said. "Matters could be simplified by there being no taxable benefit on individuals, with the company bearing the tax on parties and celebrations." Meanwhile, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has highlighted the difference between some items seen at Christmas in terms of VAT. VAT - a sales tax of 20% - is generally levied on "luxuries", but many "essentials" are VAT-free. This means that children's clothes are not subject to VAT, but adults' clothes are. The ICAEW also points out that shelled and salted nuts are considered to be luxuries and are subject to VAT, but unshelled nuts are free from VAT.

At the close, the FTSE 100 was up 1.77% at 5,773.79, having fallen 3.5% on Wednesday. Markets have been rattled since the start of the year over the slide in oil prices and slowing growth in China. Oil prices also rallied on Thursday, having hit their lowest levels since 2003 in the previous session. Brent crude climbed back above the $28-a-barrel mark, hitting $28.91. US crude was trading at $29.35 a barrel, having fallen below $27 on Wednesday. Pearson was the best performing share in the FTSE 100, rising more than 17% to 772p after it announced a restructuring plan that will lead to 4,000 job cuts - about 10% of its workforce. Also doing well in the FTSE 100 was Royal Mail. Its shares climbed 4.1% to 438.7p after it said parcel deliveries during December were up 6% from a year earlier. In the FTSE 250, shares in fashion retailer N Brown Group jumped 8.5% after it reported strong trading over the important Christmas trading period. N Brown, whose brands include SimplyBe and Jacamo, said like-for-like revenues rose 4.1% in the 18 weeks ended to 2 January. On the currency markets, the pound was little moved against the dollar at $1.4186 and was up by 0.54% against the euro at €1.3097.

(Close): London's benchmark index posted a 100-point rebound, a day after global turmoil led to billions being wiped off the value of shares.

Here's how the system works, with an example of how the outcome was calculated last time round. The basics Under STV, candidates are elected according to the share of vote they receive, the size of the electorate, and the number of seats to be filled. Voters rank candidates in order of preference, giving each a number. They can choose as many or as few as they like. Next, the 'quota' has to be worked out, which establishes the minimum number of votes a candidate requires to be elected. In Northern Ireland, a formula known as the 'Droop Quota' is used. This is calculated by dividing the total number of valid voting papers cast, by the number of seats to be filled plus one, and then adding one. Candidates who exceed the quota are elected straightaway. Surplus votes, i.e. those above the quota, are then transferred to the other candidates. If any seats then remain to be filled, the lowest-ranked candidates are eliminated and their second and lower preferences are redistributed to the remaining candidates. The process continues in this way until all the seats are filled. In the European election, with just three seats to be elected, the counting process may only last a few rounds. In local elections, where most councils have 40 seats and Belfast has 60, many more rounds of counting will take place to decide the outcome. Each council is divided into District Electoral Areas (DEAs), which count the ballots for councillors representing that particular area. Advanced example To illustrate how STV works - and some of the complications - here is how Northern Ireland's three MEPs were elected in 2009. There were 484,572 valid votes cast, and three seats to be filled. The quota was set at 121,144 (that is 484,572÷(3+1)+1) As Sinn Féin's Bairbre de Brun won enough first preference votes to exceed the quota, she was elected straightaway. Her 'surplus' first preferences were 5,040 (126,184 - 121,144) Under STV rules, because her 5,040 surplus was less than the gap between Steven Agnew and Ian Parsley, and also less than the difference of their votes combined and next placed candidate Jim Allister, Agnew and Parsley were eliminated and their votes transferred. Still with us? We continue to the next round. All of Agnew and Parsley's ballots were then checked for second preferences. The outcome was: So after the second round, no other candidate had managed to exceed the quota. Last placed Jim Allister was then eliminated, and his second preferences redistributed. In this third round, Jim Nicholson received 37,942 transferred votes from Jim Allister, taking him over the quota and securing his European Parliament seat. But in a final twist - even if Nicholson's 11,113 and Bairbre De Brun's 5,040 surplus votes had all gone to Alban Maginness, he would still not have reached Diane Dodds' total. Therefore, Diane Dodds was declared winner of the third and final seat - despite not reaching the 121,144 quota.

Northern Ireland uses the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system to elect members of the Northern Ireland Assembly, local councils and members of the European Parliament.

Saints have qualified for the group stages of the competition, meaning at least six additional matches from mid-September until early December. "We've got players who've played in the Champions League," said 28-year-old Forster. "We're in great shape. We want to have a real go at it next season." Forster, who signed a new contract this month, is currently training with England before Euro 2016 starting on 10 June. The former Celtic keeper pointed to players such as central defender Virgil van Dyke as being important to Southampton's European ambitions. "Maybe a couple of players will come in and a couple will go in the summer," said Forster. "I don't think we need a lot to add to the quality that we've got." Meanwhile, Southampton have confirmed the departure of keeper Kelvin Davis, midfielder Gaston Ramirez and Will Brit, another keeper, after their contracts expired. Davis, 39, has retired following 10 years at the club, while Uruguay midfielder Ramirez, 25, leaves after a four-year stay, which included a loan spell at promoted Championship club Middlesbrough this season.

Goalkeeper Fraser Forster says Southampton have enough experience to cope with the demands of the Europa League next season.

Lecturers and students have translated essays about free speech and are publishing them as a free e-book. Caroline Warman, associate professor in French, says she wants the texts to be used in debates about freedom. She says marchers after the attacks in Paris carried quotes by Voltaire. Dr Warman has headed a group of more than 100 students and staff at Oxford who have translated quotes and essays by French and other European writers. It is an intellectual response challenging the ideas behind the "intolerable" attack at the office of the satirical magazine last year, which killed 12 people. As a riposte to last year's attack by Islamist extremists, French academics produced a collection of essays called Tolerance. The Oxford academics have produced their own version in English, drawing on 18th Century writers and philosophers. Dr Warman, from Jesus College, Oxford, says Voltaire's "pithy slogans about free speech and religious tolerance" were used after the attacks as a way for people to "reiterate their values and express their grief". "His face appeared on posters and banners in marches and vigils throughout France." Dr Warman says that 18th Century authors, writing about persecution, the boundaries of liberty and freedom of expression, have great resonance in the modern era. As well as Voltaire, the collection includes pieces by Diderot, Montesquieu and Rousseau, on topics such as slavery, religious intolerance and the rights of individuals, in essays including Free thinking, Universal Tolerance and the satirical On the horrible danger of reading. It also includes Italian writer Cesare Beccaria, who said: "Freedom disappears the instant laws make it possible in certain circumstances for man to stop being a person and become a thing." Dr Warman wants such writers to be brought to a wider public and to use them to debate issues raised by the Charlie Hebdo attacks, such as "What are the limits of free speech? Why is tolerance important? Why is respect for others important? Why is exploitation unacceptable?" She says these texts can provide a better appreciation of "our European heritage... which can help us understand the problems the world faces today".

Academics at Oxford University are using Voltaire and other historical defenders of free speech to mark the first anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.

The accident happened at 15:45 BST on Friday outside Monkey World on Tout Hill in Dorset. Alan Gerald Thomas, from Edgware, north London, was walking when he was hit by a blue Toyota Rav 4, driven by a 65-year-old man from the Wareham area. Mr Thomas is in Southampton Hospital in a life-threatening condition. Police Sergeant Fern Graham said: "We have made a number of enquiries to find Mr Thomas's next of kin but have so far been unsuccessful. "We believe he has a sister but he has not been in contact with her for some time and we don't know where she lives. "I am hoping that by releasing Alan's photo that someone may be able to give us some information about his next of kin." The road was closed for a number of hours to allow investigators to examine the scene. Momentum Kids says it will provide childcare to facilitate "political engagement" for single parents. It will also include "fun, engaging and child-friendly" political activity for youngsters. Momentum was formed from Mr Corbyn's successful 2015 leadership campaign and is attempting to get him re-elected over Owen Smith on Saturday. The group aims to create a "mass movement for real transformative change" and says it is committed to securing general election success for Labour. But Mr Corbyn's critics say it is being used to take over the party and force out MPs who do not want him as leader. The group is holding a four-day festival next week in Liverpool, where Labour is holding its annual conference. The World Transformed event will include a creche to encourage parents and carers who would otherwise struggle to attend, organisers say. There will also be storytelling and workshops on campaigning aimed at young people. Organisers of Momentum Kids, which hopes to expand across the group's 150 local branches, said it would "create a space for questioning, curious children where we can listen to them and give them a voice". They also said women were often "shut out of many political spaces" because they do a "disproportionate amount of caring work". Mr Corbyn recently said companies that encourage after-work drinking were guilty of discrimination against women, "who want to obviously look after the children that they've got". Children's author Alan Gibbons said: "As young people grow, they need stories, poems, songs, drama and play to develop as complete human beings. An education system that treats them only as future productive drones develops only part of their personality." His leadership has divided Labour, with most MPs wanting him replaced. Mr Corbyn has promised to "reach out" to MPs if he is re-elected, but one of his predecessors, Lord Kinnock, said he doubted whether he would see another Labour government in his lifetime if there was another Corbyn victory. Media playback is not supported on this device Glengormley man Michael McKillop, who retained his T37 1500m title in Rio, described the turnout of family, friends and fans as "incredible". "I've just met a young girl and her mum who left home from Ballycastle at six this morning," said McKillop, 26. "They came here just to see me. That's very emotional for me." The county Antrim runner and his Rio room-mate, sprint star Jason Smyth both received huge cheers as they emerged together into the arrivals hall. McKillop's retention of his 1500m title saw him earning the fourth Paralympic gold of his career while Eglinton man Smyth, 29, took a fifth gold in his third Games as he dominated the T13 100m final. The Northern Irish duo were looking remarkably fresh after the long journey and McKillop revealed that they both had "blagged" their way into business class on the flight from Sao Paulo after dropping in a mention of their gold medal successes. "Today's turnout is very humbling and it shows the movement of Paralympic sport within the island of Ireland," added McKillop, who has a mild form of cerebral palsy. "Yes, Jason and me have been spearheading it. We've unbeaten in a decade over three Paralympic Games and we've set the stall up but you can see the amount of Irish athletes winning medals now. It's quite incredible." Smyth was greeted by his wife Elise and 10-month daughter Evie, who burst into tears amid the cheering in the arrivals hall. "She's not used to all that screaming so she started crying," laughed the county Londonderry man. "But it's just great to be back. Three weeks is a long time to be away, especially when she is that small." Both Northern Irishmen intend to prolong their Paralympics careers until the next games in Tokyo and McKillop reckons the Japanese capital would be an appropriate place and time to end his racing days. "I hope and pray that I will be in Tokyo. That's where I want to retire." His girlfriend Nicole wasn't able to travel to Rio but McKillop wants her to be with him, "when she will be my wife", when he rounds off his glittering Paralympic career in four years. Visually-impaired Smyth, whose Stargardt's condition means he has less than 10% vision, has never lost a race at Paralympic level in his 11-year career. "If I could get through my entire Paralympics career unbeaten, that for me would be a pretty impressive achievement." The commission will award £30,000 to UNHCR, UNICEF and Save the Children to support humanitarian aid efforts in Syria and neighbouring countries. The commission does not generally fund aid work within Europe. The chief minister said the donation reflected the wish of the community to respond "with its head and its heart". In a statement, the commission said "the continuing need for humanitarian aid in Syria and the neighbouring countries could be overlooked" with the "media spotlight" focused on refugees within Europe. Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq, chief minister said: "The Guernsey community has made it clear that it wants to respond to the refugee crisis with its head and its heart. "This welcome and thoughtful decision by the commission enables us to make a timely response in that way." The commission has an annual budget of £200,000 towards disaster emergency relief aid. Ministers have previously said the Channel Islands could take in refugees fleeing Syria. The decision comes after the assembly swore in the three opposition members, who had been suspended by the court. The court said the ruling applied to all acts that have been taken or will be taken by the current assembly. The move is likely to escalate the political turmoil gripping the crisis-hit country. Four lawmakers were barred by the Supreme Court - three from the opposition and one allied with the government - after the Socialist Party alleged irregularities during last month's vote for a new congress. The opposition claimed the the ruling was designed to strip it of a so-called "super-majority" in the assembly and swore in the three barred members. The supermajority gives the opposition extra powers such as removing judges from the top court. That prompted the court to retaliate by declaring the assembly's decisions void. It said in a statement: "Decisions taken or to be taken by the National Assembly while these citizens are incorporated will be absolutely null." The four legislators are all from the rural and sparsely populated southwestern state of Amazonas. "The logical, sane and democratic step is for the National Assembly's leadership to revoke the swearing-in of these lawmakers," said the Socialist Party deputy leader and former National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello. "If the National Assembly is in contempt, nobody is going to recognize it," he said. The legislature was to sit on Tuesday, and the opposition bloc was planning to table an amnesty law for jailed activists, and government legislators intended to propose a declaration of "national emergency" over the economic crisis. Venezuela's Supreme Court has almost always ruled in favour of the government during the last 17 years of socialist rule under President Nicolas Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez. Polish fighter Fonfara, who is based in the American city, has a 27-3 record with 16 knockouts. Welshman, 28, Cleverly has decided to face the 27-year-old rather than WBA champion Juergen Braehmer. "This is a another big opportunity for me. I've had two good performances in the States but this one is on a big platform," he told BBC Radio Wales. "It's probably the biggest fight of my life, but I'm confident. Preparations have gone well and it's just a matter now of performing. "There's no reason for me not to perform - I'm ready, I'm hungry, I'm firing and ready to showcase against Andrzej Fonfara." Cleverly, a former WBO light-heavyweight lost to Tony Bellew at cruiserweight in November 2014 but made his comeback at light-heavyweight with a 24-second stoppage of Czech journeyman Tomas Man last May. Fonfara's last fight was a nine-round stoppage of former middleweight world champion Chavez Jr. "I'm excited to return to my hometown of Chicago on this big fight night against a world-class fighter like Nathan Cleverly," said Fonfara, who will be fighting at the city's UIC Pavilion for the 14th time. "This will be a tough fight for both of us. Cleverly is a solid fighter and it's no fluke that he was a world champion and that he defended his belt so many times." An Iraqi security source told the BBC the jihadists had been attempting to flee an offensive by government forces, who recently recaptured Falluja. They were bombed by Iraqi air force planes as they headed for IS territory near the border with Syria, he added. Photos purportedly of the scene showed about a dozen burned-out vehicles. On Sunday, the Iraqi government announced that Falluja, about 50km (30 miles) west of the capital Baghdad, was fully under its control after a five-week offensive by security forces and allied militias. Inside Falluja after IS: 'The air smelt of war' Islamic State group: The full story Islamic State crisis in seven charts The security source, who asked not to be named, told the BBC that a large number of militants fleeing the assault had gathered in the al-Ruwaila area. They had planned to drive through Iraq's western desert to the IS-held town of al-Qaim, near the border of Anbar province with Syria, he added. Acting on intelligence, Iraqi air force warplanes carried out a series of strikes on the convoy west of the town of Amariyat al-Falluja late on Tuesday, killing many militants, the source said. Those who survived the raids were believed to have fled towards nearby Lake Razzaza and Lake Habbaniya. A statement issued by the Iraqi defence ministry cited Gen Hamid al-Maliki, head of the Army Aviation Command, as saying that dozens of vehicles were destroyed in the strikes, which he said were continuing. The security source added that the head of the Badr Organisation, a powerful Shia militia, had sent fighters to the area in case the militants tried to attack the Shia shrine city of Karbala, to the south. There was no immediate comment on the strikes from the US-led coalition against IS, which provided extensive air support for the Falluja offensive. Also on Wednesday, the US said it would make $2.7bn (£2bn) available to the Iraqi government to help pay for its war against IS. The loan will fund ammunition purchases and the maintenance of fighter planes, tanks and other military equipment. The cost of the war is a major burden on the Iraqi economy at a time when it is struggling to cope with the dramatic slump in the price of oil, its major export. The ex-Formula 1 driver, who lost both legs following a crash in 2001, won the H4 handcycling time trial on Wednesday. And the 45-year-old followed it up with a sprint finish to take the road race ahead of South Africa's Ernst van Dyk and Belgian Wim Decleir. Zanardi had both legs amputated following a Cart accident in Germany. "To win this race in this way, in such a dramatic way and sprinting makes me really proud," Zanardi said. "It shows that I am a complete cyclist, even if I have no legs. "The race did not go as I expected. I thought that I could take off soon and that I would only need to stay calm, but at the fourth lap I tested my opponents and understood my tactic would not work, so I changed it completely and only tried to save, save and save. "I managed my energies well. It's been a tough race, I could have very well lost it." Last year Zanardi won the New York marathon at the fourth attempt and also claimed world time trial silver. The warm-weather splendour also gives rise to a unique cultural phenomenon: The Summer Song. Euphoric, frothy and fun - it's often as fleeting as the season itself, falling out of favour as soon as the leaves fall off the trees. An early contender for this year's title seems to be Luis Fonsi's Despacito - a slinky, sensual slice of reggaeton ("despacito" means "slowly," referring to the speed of his seduction technique). A worldwide hit earlier this year, it received a boost in the UK and the US after Justin Bieber jumped on the remix, singing an extra verse in a mixture of English and phonetically-learned Spanish. But after eight weeks at number one, it could just be an extended drum-roll for the real song of the summer... whose identity we've yet to discover. So what makes a summer smash? We've worked out six of the key ingredients below; while stars including Royal Blood, Dua Lipa and Clean Bandit nominated their song of the summer on this page. The sun is out, school is out, and songs displaying any degree of emotional complexity are out. Take, for example, Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You - four minutes of French funk built upon a brutally efficient four-bar loop, that became the signature sound of summer 1998. Big, brash pop songs also fit the bill, with Rihanna's Umbrella (2007) and Little Mix's Black Magic (2015) both benefitting from a summer boost. NB: This rule doesn't just apply to songs. Summer blockbusters are the dumbest form of cinema; "beach reads" are inevitably schlock romances and thrillers; and summer TV is epitomised by Big Brother and Love Island. Basically, we all become idiots in the heat. The rise of affordable package holidays in the 1980s prompted an influx of European songs to the summertime charts. Holiday hits like Spagna's Call Me, Sabrina's Boys and Opus's Live Is Life were all smuggled into the Top 40 by British tourists. Ever since, summer songs have fared better if they somehow feel "exotic", with the rhythms of Latin America and the Caribbean providing several seasonal smashes. Notable examples include Los Del Rio's Macarena (1996); Ricky Martin's Livin' La Vida Loca (1999); Rihanna's Pon De Replay (2005); Shakira's Hips Don't Lie (2006); OMI's Cheerleader (2015) and, of course, Despacito. The best pop music holds up a mirror up to society; and the best summer songs reflect a time of year when we collectively take leave of our senses. How else do you explain Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - an egregiously irritating song, both in its original 1960 guise and in Timmy Mallett's 1990 remix. Other offenders include Captain Sensible's Happy Talk (1982) and Whigfield's Saturday Night. But novelty isn't always a dirty word. Songs with unique lyrics or arrangements often capture the carefree spirit of the summer. Katy Perry scored her breakthrough hit with I Kissed A Girl in August 2008; while the whistled refrain of Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger resurrected their career in summer 2011. If a single is going to float across the country and pollinate the population, it needs serious radio support. That means two things: 1) A catchy hook and 2) No swearing. The song should also appeal to the widest possible audience, which often tips the scales in favour of grand emotional posturing and overblown sentiment. Hence Bryan Adams' Everything I Do (I Do It For You) and Wet Wet Wet's Love Is All Around, which hogged the number one spot in summer 1991 and 1994 respectively. In the modern era, though, summer hits have tended to be euphoric pop - with the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, The Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling and Sonique's Feels So Good all providing a soundtrack to the sunshine. While it's possible for a late-breaking hit to elbow its way to the front of the pack, the song of the summer has usually been hanging around for a while before it takes over the world. Drake's One Dance, which topped the charts for 15 weeks last year, was originally released in April. More impressively, the reggae-tinged morality tale Rude, by Canadian band Magic!, had been hanging around for 11 months before it clawed its way to number one in August 2015. It's a cynical tactic, but it works. From Mungo Jerry's lyrically-questionable In The Summertime in 1970 to Demi Lovato's Cool For The Summer in 2015, releasing a song about the summer in the summer guarantees you a hit almost as quickly as putting the words "featuring Justin Bieber" on the sleeve.

The man, said to be a non-swimmer, was found hanging on to the car's aerial after a collision with a parked car in Mill Road, Rumburgh in the early hours. Police said the man, who was driving a blue Vauxhall Corsa, gave a negative breath test. Witness Roger Davis said the car was in his garden pond and it took about two hours to get the motorist out. He said: "I didn't hear much as I was fast asleep, but then there were three fire engines, the ambulance and the police outside my house. "The chap was clinging to the roof of the car, they got him off and pulled the car out. He couldn't swim - and the pond is about 12 foot deep at the moment. "I think the chap went to hospital with hypothermia, he was clinging to the roof and holding on to the car's aerial. It was interesting to say the least. "I think he'd swerved to avoid a deer, that's what the police said." Fire crews were called at 03:10 GMT and an ambulance took the man to the James Paget Hospital at 04:36 GMT. Stuart Hostler, watch commander at Halesworth fire station, said: "He was a very lucky chap. "When we got there he had already got out of the car and was holding on to the aerial for dear life. "He was showing signs that he was very cold and he was up to his waist in the water." The East of England Ambulance Service said the man got out of his car by himself and was conscious and alert when they arrived. The Dutchman, 33, has signed a three-year deal and re-joins new Toffees boss Ronald Koeman after they worked together at Ajax and Southampton. "Koeman is one of the best coaches. He is straight talking, fair and has confidence in me which counts as well," Stekelenburg told the club's website. Stekeleburg twice won the Eredivisie title and has 54 international caps. He spent last season on-loan at St Mary's, making 25 appearances, and has also had spells at Serie A side Roma and Monaco in France. Koeman added: "I know through his professionalism, hardworking approach and personality he will fit in well with what I will be building at Everton." Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster and Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness were at Belfast's Lyric Theatre for the UTV Election Debate. Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt, Social Democratic & Labour Party (SDLP) leader Colum Eastwood and David Ford, the Alliance leader, also took part. Voters will go to the polls on 5 May. For Mrs Foster and Mr Eastwood, the debate was their first as the leaders of their parties. Mrs Foster got off to a nervous start, stumbling in her opening statement, but appeared more confident when she and Mr Nesbitt differed on the issue of abortion. Moves to change Northern Ireland's abortion law were blocked in the last assembly term. Mr Nesbitt said: "We should change the law when it comes to fatal foetal abnormalities and sex crimes and what we did in the last term was Dickensian, it was like Bleak House." But Mrs Foster responded by saying that "more of Mike's party voted with me on the last couple of occasions than voted with him". "So, I speak more for the Ulster Unionists than the leader of the Ulster Unionists," she added. The debate then turned to education, with Mr Eastwood and Mr McGuinness clashing on the 11-plus examination. Mr Eastwood claimed that Mr McGuinness had failed to abolish the transfer test. "We have young children, [aged] 10 and 11, doing four or five exams outside their primary school," he said. "That system is still there and I want to see that system gone." But Mr McGuinness said the 11-plus was a government exam. "The examinations that are taking place at the moment are under the tutelage of grammar schools, not the government," he said. "The government does not impose selection on children at the age of 10 and 11." Mr Ford said integrated education needed greater support. "A very large number of parents want to see their children educated in integrated schools," he said. "[Integrated education] is also one way of avoiding the waste of money which is currently going with something like 70,000 empty desks and half-empty school buildings. "We could actually put the resources of education into educating children rather than cleaning floors and keeping slates on roofs." Matters then moved on to health and the economy. The debate ended on a light-hearted note, with the participants asked which actor should play them in a film. Mr Nesbitt went for Liz Hurley, while Mr McGuinness chose Colm Meaney, the Irish actor who will play him in the forthcoming dramatic comedy The Journey. Arlene Foster jokingly chose US star Demi Moore. And with their tongues firmly in their cheeks, Mr Ford chose Liam Neeson and Mr Eastwood went for Jamie Dornan. The next leaders' debate of the election campaign will be on BBC Northern Ireland next month. The 16-year-old was shot in the leg on Thursday and is in a stable condition in hospital. It happened at Forest Street, off the Springfield Road, at about 20:50 GMT. "Any civilised society would see that for what it is - child abuse. It is most definitely not policing or community safety activity," Chief Supt Chris Noble said. The incident follows a man being shot in the legs on Wednesday night close to the jobs and benefits office on the Falls Road in west Belfast. He said it was too early to say if the shootings were linked. "There is an active line of inquiry around the involvement of violent dissident republicans," he said. "I would not want to speculate on exactly why individuals were targeted but there is never any justification for this violent, abusive behaviour." One resident, who lives close to the scene of the latest shooting, said he thought the noise from the gun attack had come from the television. "When we came out the lad was lying at the other side of the street," he added. "Some of the neighbours got the ambulance and that was it. "Most people are disgusted with it, they don't want to see it." That victim is also said to be in a stable condition. The shooting was condemned by Secretary of State James Brokenshire, who said it was a "brutal and shocking attack on a child by abusive criminals"!. John "Goldfinger" Palmer, who was once described as Britain's richest criminal, was shot dead in the garden of his home in Essex in June 2015. An operation, codenamed Alpine, had gathered intelligence on Palmer from RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria since 1999. Police said Palmer's killing had "all the hallmarks" of a professional hit. Palmer, a former scrap metal dealer from Olton, near Birmingham, got his Goldfinger nickname after bullion from the the 1983 £26m Brink's-Mat robbery was melted down in a shed in the grounds of his country house at Lansdown near Bath. He was jailed in 2001 for a £20m timeshare fraud in Tenerife, and at the time of his death, at the age of 65, he was due to stand trial in Spain on charges of fraud, firearm possession and money laundering. Shortly after his death it was revealed he had been under surveillance since 2007, but the BBC has discovered the Cumbria team had been monitoring Palmer since 1999, including the four years he spent in jail. A former intelligence officer, who did not wish to be identified, said the the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (Soca) - now the National Crime Agency - had gathered intelligence on Palmer from Cumbria because of concerns of corruption in the Metropolitan Police Service. "The team there then collated the info together, and some of that intel was then used to inform police investigations into various parts of his criminal organisation," the officer said. "We knew what police officers he had in his pocket, what other criminals he was mixing with, and using for various criminal enterprises." Earlier this year a £50,000 reward was offered to help catch Palmer's killer, and the case featured on BBC One's Crimewatch, but the gunman has not been caught. The reward is offered in part by his partner Christina Ketley, who was convicted in 2001 for being involved in Palmer's timeshare fraud and who is facing separate charges in Spain - accusations she denies. BBC Inside Out's special programme on John Palmer, presented by veteran broadcaster Roger Cook, can be seen on BBC One in the West at 19:30 BST on Monday 26 September, and afterwards on the BBC iPlayer. Mark Strachan, 56, from Edinburgh, had denied falsely claiming travel and mileage fees on 341 instances between March 2006 and November 2010. Last year Strachan was sentenced to two years in jail. The latest order came on top of the £11,663.80 which Strachan has already repaid to the Scottish Legal Aid Board. The Legal Aid Regulations set out that if an advocate or solicitor travels more than 60 miles as part of their work (a minimum 120-mile round trip), they are entitled to claim their mileage plus a travel allowance. This is payable only once per day, regardless of how many cases the journey is undertaken. The Crown's position at trial was for many of the occasions when he claimed for travel, Strachan had not in fact undertaken the stated journeys between Edinburgh or Linlithgow and Aberdeen, but instead had only travelled to Aberdeen from his home at Insch, Aberdeenshire. Lindsey Miller, procurator fiscal for organised crime and counter terrorism, said: "Those who think they can profit from criminality should rethink their plans. "Strachan has not only repaid the full sum that he defrauded from SLAB, but his conviction opened him up to a full proceeds of crime assessment, which has led to the confiscation of a further £7,500 of unexplained income. "The confiscated funds will be re-invested in the community by Scottish ministers, through the CashBack for communities programme." Margaret Grieve, 53, said she was a single mother to qualify for the cash but she was caught out when investigators checked her social media. Dundee Sheriff Court heard she claimed to have split from her husband - but a picture of the couple together was her profile photo on Facebook. Grieve, of Dundee, was jailed for nine months by Sheriff Tom Hughes. The court was told that the NHS Tayside employee worked at Dundee's Ninewell's Hospital in its sterile services department. Between 2008 and 2011, she claimed child tax and working tax credits to which she was not entitled after claiming she had separated from husband Frederick Grieve. However, Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) investigators found she was still living with him, and splitting the cost of shopping and looking after the children. They discovered a profile photograph of the pair attending a ball together in 2011 on her Facebook page. And that year a friend wished Grieve a happy anniversary on the page - with Grieve replying to thank them. Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson told the court that the DWP also found that Mr Grieve's car insurance was paid from his wife's bank account. She added: "Some household bills including the council tax on the accused's home were paid from that account. "Both were jointly liable for council tax there and no single person's discount was applied. "When he took out AA membership in October 2011 the address was given as the accused's. "His home address with his employer, Dundee City Council, was also the accused's." Defence solicitor David Sinclair said Grieve would lose her job if she received a custodial sentence. "However, she is ready for what may be visited on her," he added. Teams in the top flight of English rugby league had to play twice in four days over Easter - then do it again at the end of May. Wilkin has challenged the game's leading players to make a difference as to how rugby league is run. "You've got to help yourself," he told the 5 Live Rugby League podcast. "One thing I've found is that players will often have an opinion, criticise and comment about things. But there are very few who'll actually give their time to change things." Wilkin spent six years attempting to set up a players' union, League 13, which ultimately failed because of a lack of support. He suggested that a union is still badly needed in the face of such a congested fixture list, and at a time when the future structure of the game is under scrutiny from the clubs and the RFL. There have been renewed calls within the game for the players to be given a bigger say, with several senior figures from within their ranks criticising the scheduling of matches. "The reason League 13 doesn't exist anymore is because ultimately it was a labour of love from me, but there no was investment in time or effort from the players," said Wilkin. "This was an issue going way back. The only way for clubs to make revenue is to run more games and for me that was worrying for two reasons. "Firstly, I thought it was a false economy. More games diluted the quality. And secondly, if your playing 32 games a year, that's 32 weeks when you're playing a contact sport and that's incredible. To think your body is in any position to recover and heal quick enough is stupid. "I think these things needed to be addressed and still need to be addressed. But there isn't a players' body capable or willing or able to do that." Many players are represented by the GMB union, which Wilkin says gives them legal cover. But he thinks representation should go further than that. "There's nobody actively sitting in meetings with the chief execs, with the clubs, with the chairmen, with the other key stakeholders in the game - there is nobody representing the players at that level." he said. "We need more of those senior players in the game to stand up and have an opinion. It's not necessarily a negative opinion. "If anything the ambition is to be collaborative; to work with people, to develop relationships with key stakeholders in the game, for the betterment of the players, but also for the betterment of the game as a whole." Mr Stewart was previously in the same post at Marks and Spencer. He replaces Laurie McIlwee, who resigned in April. On Monday, Tesco stunned the markets by saying it had overstated its half-year profit guidance by £250m. Tesco's shares sank 11% on Monday and fell a further 4.2% on Tuesday. The retailer has launched an investigation headed by Deloitte, and says it is now working to establish the impact of the issue on its full-year results. It has also suspended four executives, including its UK managing director, Chris Bush. Tesco is also believed to have suspended its UK finance director Carl Rogberg, its food commercial director John Scouler and the head of food sourcing, Matt Simister. Mr Stewart was originally due to join Tesco on 1 December, but his start date was brought forward after negotiations with Marks and Spencer. BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed says he has been told that the move came after a direct appeal from Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis to his counterpart at Marks and Spencer, Marc Bolland, who "graciously" allowed Mr Stewart to leave early. Mr Lewis's predecessor, Philip Clarke, stood down in July after his attempts to revive Tesco's fortunes through a £1bn turnaround plan failed. Analysis, Kamal Ahmed, BBC business editor: The announcement that Alan Stewart, the former finance director of Marks and Spencer, will start work today at Tesco - rather than the somewhat more leisurely 1 December - will bring some relief to investors, who have faced a battering over the last year. A business facing an accounting crisis with no chief financial officer was not exactly comfortable. Sir Richard Broadbent, the chairman, will hope that the move will quieten those who believe that he should consider his position. He certainly spent yesterday, when the accounting crisis broke, desperately trying to move Mr Stewart's start date forward. In that, at least, he has been successful. Last month, Tesco cut its full-year profit forecast from £2.8bn to £2.4bn, and said trading profit for the six months to 23 August was expected to be about £1.1bn. As a result of the change to its profit guidance, Tesco has pushed back the release of its interim results to 23 October, from 1 October. The investigation into the overstatement will be carried out by Deloitte together with Freshfields, the group's external legal advisers. Tesco has been battling falling sales and a decline in its market share as discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl have gained in popularity. And there is "no sign yet of recovery" in sales or market share for Tesco, according to latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel. In the 12 weeks to 14 September, Tesco sales fell 4.5% from a year earlier and its market share remained at 28.8%, the Kantar report said. The Kantar report also said annual growth in the UK grocery market over the 12 weeks was at a record low of 0.3%. Asda was the only one of the "big four" - Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons - to increase its market share, now at 17.4% and sales were up 0.8% on the same period last year. The report confirmed that discount and premium supermarkets were still winning market share from bigger rivals. "Aldi has continued its run of double-digit growth, which now stretches back to February 2011, by recording a sales increase of 29.1% compared with last year," said Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar Worldpanel. "Similarly, Lidl has increased sales by 17.7%, showing that shoppers still have a strong appetite for the discount stores," he said. Waitrose recorded a 4.5% rise in sales, which boosted its market share to 5.1%. The Family Sharing initiative will let a user of the Steam service share their library of games across up to 10 other devices. Other people will be able to play the titles, store their own saved games and earn their own in-game achievements. Valve said a small scale trial of the sharing system would start in mid-September. Steam is one of the most popular platforms used by PC gamers to buy and access video games bought over the internet. Valve uses it to promote its own titles as well as games written by third-party developers, from whom it takes a cut of the sales. By introducing the sharing facility Valve may make its service appear more attractive than that of rivals such as Gog, Desura and Electronic Art's Origin. However, it could also impact sales if people who would otherwise have bought their own copy now decide to share someone else's. To address this risk Valve will prevent more than one person being able to play the same purchase of a title at the same time. Industry watchers say that if the move proves popular other online marketplaces may follow. In an explanation, posted to the Steam website, Valve said free sharing would be enabled when someone authorises a computer to access their games. Other Steam members can request authorisation if they see that a friend or other family member owns a game they want to play. If the owner of a game wants to play it while someone else is already using it, the person borrowing that game will be given a few minutes to either buy the game for themselves or have to quit. Sharing will give people access to almost any game stored in a Steam account not just those titles made by Valve. However, Valve said not all games would be eligible for sharing because "technical limitations" - which might include separate subscriptions - might stop some being made available. Valve spokeswoman Anna Sweet said the sharing service was launched in a direct response to user requests. Valve is well known for video games such as Half Life, Left 4 Dead and Portal, but millions of gamers use its Steam service to buy and manage their library of games. Steam began as a way for people to manage games on PCs but Valve has been working to expand its reach. Steam has a Big Picture mode that makes it easier for games to be played on big screens. In addition, it is known to be working on a Steam box, a console that gives people access to their account and lets them play games on a TV. Rob Crossley, writing on the CVG games news site, said family sharing was "likely to now be a key feature of the long-awaited Steam box". Also, he pointed out, the sharing idea was very similar to one Microsoft floated for its forthcoming Xbox One console. The idea has now been withdrawn but Microsoft has hinted that it might return. The 18-year-old was given the nod to start at short notice and Archibald was pleased with how he coped against 63-times capped Alex Tziolis and Africa Cup of Nations winner Arnaud Djoum. "I was delighted with young Andy in there," Archibald said. "He only found out he was playing on Saturday morning." McCarthy's only other start in the Premiership this term was in the 1-1 draw at Celtic Park in April and Archibald's faith in the youngster will have been further boosted by his display at Tynecastle on Saturday. "We had a lot of injuries and had to bring Andy McCarthy into the middle of the pitch, as well as putting Kris Doolan in a wider area, so I think it was a fantastic performance in the circumstances," the manager added. "We had decided to go with Liam Lindsay on the Friday, but Liam had to pull out with a dead leg. "We had worked on a completely different shape and we had to change that on the day of the game, so it's a massive credit to Andy for adjusting and performing so well." The Jags hit the front against Hearts thanks to a second-half Doolan header following fine work from Steven Lawless. Thistle's Daniel Devine was then penalised for a handball in the box, earning a second yellow card and an early bath in the process, with Esmael Goncalves converting the resulting spot-kick. Lawless restored the visitors' lead before Andraz Struna's late close-range finish earned Hearts a point. It meant a second successive draw for the Tynecastle men, but head coach Ian Cathro was much happier than after the 0-0 at Kilmarnock in their previous outing. "My concern at Kilmarnock was that, for all the control we had, we never hurt them enough," Cathro said. "That wasn't a problem against Partick Thistle. The only thing missing was us putting the ball in the net and scoring goals. I think that's a game that the majority of times we play it we would win. "We are making progress, but we have to prove it - and it's the results that do that." It appears that as a society we have adjusted to being overweight as the norm. When one in three children at primary school is overweight, it is perhaps not surprising that it is hard to identify when a child has a problem. Consultant paediatrician Professor Mary Rudolf, who advises the government on obesity, said many parents would not know that "a healthy 10-year-old's ribs should be clearly visible. Many parents would consider that such a child was quite underweight." But there is key official advice for helping children maintain a healthy weight. Experts believe one of the most powerful ways to encourage your child to eat well and be active is to do so yourself, as children learn by example. Researchers have found that the risk of a girl being obese at the age of eight was significantly raised - a ten-fold increase in fact - if her mother was obese. The risk for a boy was increased six-fold if his father was obese. NHS Choices advises that any changes made to a child's diet and lifestyle are much more likely to be accepted if the changes involve the whole family. So instead of watching TV as a family, go out for a walk, ride a bike or play with them in the park. Children are recommended to have 60 minutes of exercise a day but this does not have to be done all at once. It can be done in several short 10 or five-minute bursts of activity throughout the day. Overweight children do not need to do more exercise than slimmer children, as their extra body weight means they will naturally burn more calories for the same activity. Swapping the car for walking or cycling on small journeys is seen as an easy way to get the whole family moving. Children, like adults, should aim to eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables everyday. Experts say unsweetened 100% fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies should only count as one portion of a child's five a day, however many are drunk. NHS Choices says that when fruit is blended or juiced, it releases the sugars which increase the risk of tooth decay so it is best to drink fruit juice or smoothies at meal times. Sugary drinks have no place in a child's diet according to Change4Life. Around 30% of the sugar in kids' diets comes from sugary drinks, such as fizzy pop, juice drinks, squashes, cordials, energy drinks and juice. The maximum daily amounts of added sugar for children are: One can of coke can have up to nine cubes of sugar in it. There is very little official guidance on precisely how much food children require. But experts advise avoiding adult-size plates for younger children as it encourages them to eat more than they need. Other tips include starting meals with small servings and letting your child ask for more if they are still hungry. Also try not to make your child finish everything on their plate or eat more than they want to. It is also advised that children should be encouraged to eat slowly; and it helps to have set meal times. Sleep is important for children as it has been shown that those who do not have the recommended amount of sleep are more likely to be overweight. Researchers found that those children who had less sleep in their earlier years were at greater risk of having a higher Body Mass Index at age seven. This link continued even when other risk factors, such as gender and physical activity, were accounted for in their research. Using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), poor sleep has been shown to affect the brain areas responsible for complex decision-making, and our response to rewards, causing us to favour unhealthy foods. Although getting the recommended amount of sleep at night is encouraged, sitting and lying around too much in the day makes children more likely to put on weight. Experts advise that children should watch no more than two hours of television each day. Parents are encouraged to remove all screens, including mobile phones, from their bedroom at night. Aisling Pigott, a paediatric dietitian and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association says it's important to "talk to children from a young age openly and honestly about food as a positive thing". "Have open discussions about enjoying food, take the focus away from body image to health and wellbeing, as opposed to look and image," she says. "Don't use negative words words like fat and ugly with your children - don't talk about cutting down and not eating certain foods as it makes children want them more," she adds. With older children there are many more influences so teenagers should be approached sensitively, Pigott points out. "Don't attack and don't talk about long-term consequences for their health because they don't care, as teenagers live in the here and now," she explains. "Don't say 'if you lose weight you'll look better in the future'. Focus on how they look at the moment and help them work on gaining more positive self-esteem." Overweight teenagers will display unhealthy eating behaviours - often restricting their food intake and then overeating. Boosting their self esteem can work well in stabilising their eating habits, Pigott says. Reassure them and remind them everyone is a different shape and size - and it's just about keeping within healthy norms. Media playback is not supported on this device Several bookmakers had suspended betting on the Italian being the next Premier League manager to lose his job. But, on the eve of Saturday's home match with champions Leicester, he said: "I am trying to find out who put the money on, it's very difficult." Former Italy boss Conte, 47, replaced interim boss Guus Hiddink in the summer, having agreed a deal in April. The Londoners won their first three Premier League games, but a run of one victory in their past four has seen them drop to seventh. And the build-up to Saturday's game (12:30 BST) has been dominated by talk about Conte's position. "It is difficult to talk about the situation because I am focused about my work and improving the team," he said. "I have a good relationship and communication with the club. "We are working very hard to change the situation of the past. We are trying to build something important for the present and future." Saturday's game will pit Blues midfielder N'Golo Kante against Leicester for the first time since he joined Chelsea for £30m in the summer. The 25-year-old won the Premier League in his only season as a Foxes player. Conte said: "Kante is an important player. He is a fantastic player with good stamina, technique and personality. "He brought a great will to fight and he is a humble man. I like him and these types of players, those who put the team before himself." The ex-Newcastle loanee was booked before scoring one of the goals in a 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow that took the Dutch league leaders into the knockout stage for the first time since 2007. However, key midfielder Andres Guardado is set to return for PSV. Atletico will have midfielder Augusto Fernandez back after a knee injury. The Spaniards, beaten finalists in 2014, have not won in four knockout games against Dutch opposition in the Champions League. Diego Simeone's side has also struggled for goals this season, with their total of 35 the lowest in the top seven of La Liga. Antoine Griezmann is their top scorer with 19 goals and midfielder Koke is backing the France international to end a quiet spell of just one goal in his last seven appearances. Koke said: "We have to be more aggressive in attack and when we achieve that we'll attain our objective. "Griezmann is a truly great player and his goals will come. They will come when you least expect them." PSV have won their last eight matches and are unbeaten in 18 games but have had trouble scoring penalties. They had missed eight out of their last 12 attempts before Gaston Pereiro scored from the spot in a 2-0 win against Heracles Almelo last Saturday and the midfielder is set keep the job. Coach Phillip Cocu said: "Gaston immediately said he felt good and wanted to take it. If he takes it like that, then he can take the next one, too." The Grecians, who will have forward Alex Nicholls back in the squad, are five points outside the League Two play-offs after a six-match unbeaten run in March. Meanwhile, Argyle are third after back-to-back wins over York and Morecambe. "There's an element of anxiety and excitement about it," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon. "I have been involved in probably a dozen Devon derbies. It's a different type of game and it has a life of its own at times. "We are looking forward to it, we are highly prepared for it." Tisdale awaits fitness reports on Jordan Moore-Taylor and Matt Oakley before finalising his team. France's deficit will "without a doubt" be 3.7% of its output this year, he said, above the 3% he promised to cut it to during the election last year. The 3% deficit target is also one set by the European Union - but most of the major euro nations are in breach. The news comes as France's economic progress was criticised by a European Central Bank board member. "The reform course in France seems to have floundered," Germany's Jens Weidmann said. "The crisis that we are facing is a crisis of confidence, and this confidence cannot be gained if we postpone the tackling of the root causes of the crisis," Mr Weidmann said, referring to France, Italy and Cyprus as countries that still face tough financial situations. Greece, Ireland and Portugal have been effectively shut out of borrowing long term on international financial markets, which forced them to seek help from European partners and the International Monetary Fund. They all adopted austerity policies to cut public spending, but France has bucked the trend, raising taxes instead to protect its social model. During the election last year, Mr Hollande vowed to bring the deficit to 3% from its current 4.5% and had insisted this was possible until now admitting defeat. But he defended his record, saying that the deficit has come down from more than 5% in 2011. "In two years, we have performed a structural recovery," the president said on Tuesday, that "is as unprecedented as it is significant". "Addressing our accounts is a financial obligation... but it is also an obligation of sovereignty because France must never be in difficulty in the markets." The ECB's other German board member, Joerg Asmussen, last month urged France to take "concrete and measurable" steps to bring down its budget deficit. The number of jobless in France has now risen past 3 million. Ross Sinclair was playing in the Dundee Sunday Amateur league when the incident happened. A jury heard Plough Athletic player Sinclair brought down Josh McHugh with a late tackle just minutes before the end of the match. A fight broke out leaving Mr McHugh with a broken jaw which had to be fitted with two metal plates. He later said he did not want Sinclair to be jailed for the attack, but Sheriff Alastair Brown said sentencing "couldn't be left to the victim" and jailed him for a year. Mr McHugh told a jury at Dundee Sheriff Court that he could only eat soup for three months after the attack. The court was told the incident caused the game between Plough Athletic and Queen Anne to be stopped and a mass brawl then erupted off the pitch. Fiscal Depute Eilidh Robertson told the jury: "If someone acts aggressively towards you, even punches you, and you respond by running up behind them whilst they are being dragged away and assault them from behind by striking them so hard that you break their jaw then that is not self defence, that is retaliation." Sinclair, 20, of Forfar, denied a charge of assault to severe injury, but a jury of eight men and seven women took just an hour to convict him. His defence solicitor said there was genuine regret on Sinclair's part. Sheriff Brown said: "You approached the complainer, who was being ushered away, and punched him so hard that bystanders heard his jaw being broken. "This was not an incident in a game of football. It was an unprovoked and deliberate assault which caused serious injury. "I can see no alternative but imprisonment." But for the 500 residents of the Kihoto camp, what started as a temporary refuge has become a bleakly permanent residence. "On the 27th of December, 2007, I cast my vote," says Geoffrey Mwaura, who remembers well the circumstances that brought him from his home in western Kenya to this wind-swept collection of tents, with their stick frames and dirt floors. "On the 30th, that is when it erupted. Every house was torched. Watch Gabriel Gatehouse's report from Kihoto "The Kalenjin started torching our houses and beating us." In Kenya's ethnically divided politics, the 2007 election pitted the Kikuyu ethnic group, whose leader Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner, against Kalenjins and Luos, who believed their man, Raila Odinga, had been cheated out of victory. "It was like a killing spree: killing, maiming, torching houses. Then everybody had to run for his dear life," Mr Mwaura says. "That's what I did myself. I ran for my life." Mr Mwaura remembers having to negotiate a road-block made out of dead bodies, lined up across the road. "Jumping corpses, jumping dead bodies. I did it. I myself." The violence was particularly acute in the west of the country, and in the Rift Valley, where different communities lived alongside one another. An estimated 1,200 people were killed. Around 600,000 fled their homes. Kenya has failed to hold the perpetrators to account. And so, many of those seeking justice are looking to The Hague. Q&A: International Criminal Court "Kenyans have lived with impunity for half a century now," says Njonjo Mue, the head of the International Centre for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) in Nairobi. "Many Kenyans recognize that the possibility of bringing high-level politicians to account is almost nil using the local courts." President Uhuru Kenyatta, a Kikuyu, and his deputy William Ruto, a Kalenjin, formed a coalition to fight the 2013 election together. But in 2007 and 2008, they were on opposite sides of the divide. They will stand trial at The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity: They are accused of inciting their supporters to kill one another, charges they both deny. But the cases against them are looking shaky. Witnesses have been disappearing, or withdrawing their testimony. The prosecution says some have been threatened, others bribed. Ken Wafula showed us an anonymous email he received at the end of May: "Why are you bringing rumours to The Hague?" it reads in Swahili. The message then continues in English: "Ruto is our leader and future president. Your days are numbered. You will soon be kaput." Mr Wafula says he doesn't know who sent that message, but he believes he has been targeted because of his work with some of the victims and witnesses to the violence. "The last five years I have never had peace," he says. "I've been arrested on trumped-up charges and it has been hell, especially the last two months." Last week, the Kenyan parliament voted to withdraw the country from the International Criminal Court, which is behind the Hague trials. Some MPs described the court as part of a neo-imperialist plot that violated Kenya's sovereignty. The move won't affect cases already active, but the issue is becoming increasingly politicised. "In recent times, especially in the lead-up to the March 4th [2013] election, there has been a lot of rhetoric and propaganda that has seemed to drown out the desire for justice for post-election violence," says Mr Mue. "The candidates who ended up being elected president and deputy president [Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto] managed to conflate their personal fortunes at the ICC with the national interest and make it a campaign issue. "And therefore people started buying the idea that the ICC was an imperialist court with a political agenda and not just a judicial process, which is what it is." But the politics and the intrigue surrounding the cases at The Hague feel very remote at the Kihoto camp in the Rift Valley. Five years after the people here were chased from their homes, they are still waiting to be resettled by the government, and their lives are on hold. "We are not ready even to have children again, because we don't know if it will happen again," says Rosemary Wangari, who gave birth to her son Isaac as she fled her home at the height of the violence five years ago. On Saturday, Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto handed out cheques worth more than $4,500 (£3,000) to families living in a different camp in the Rift Valley. The government says it is part of a programme that will see all IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps closed by 20 September. But according to Kefa Magenyi, of the National IDPs Network, there are still 46 camps dotted around the country, with as many as 200,000 residents. Many have not been recognized under the scheme. Kihoto is one such camp. Geoffrey Mwaura accuses the government of airbrushing him and his fellow residents out of the records. "Is this not a camp?" he asks, pointing to the tarpaulin tents. I asked him whether, with the new political alliance between Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto in place, it might be safe enough to return home. Mr Mwaura dismissed the idea: "The person who took the arrow, the person who took the panga [machete], is still on the ground. I'll find him there. "Now telling me to go back there, [it's] as if you are telling me to commit suicide. And I'm not ready to do that. "Better the government kill me than I go back there." For Geoffrey, Rosemary and thousands of others, the trials at the ICC are a side-show. For them, justice will not be served until they have somewhere they can call home. The band will headline the Saturday night of the festival at Glanusk Park, Powys, on 21 August. St Vincent, on Sunday, and Hot Chip, on Friday, have already been named as the event's other headliners. Super Furry Animals are to play their first live dates in six years in May, including two gigs in Wales. Festival director Fiona Stewart said: "Green Man have been waiting for the Furries to re-form for years and can't wait to welcome them to Wales' own Green Man in what promises to be a truly amazing homecoming show." The band, fronted by Gruff Rhys, are also re-releasing their Welsh language album Mwng to mark its 15th anniversary. A mini-tour starts on 5 May with two nights at Cardiff University's Great Hall. The live dates also mark 20 years since the release of their debut record. Other acts booked for this year's Green Man festival include Father John Misty, The Fall, and Television, who will play their 1977 album Marquee Moon in full. Among the other prominent acts appearing are Public Service Broadcasting, The Staves, Charles Bradley, and the Sun Ra Arkestra. Previous headliners have included legendary Belfast-born blues and rock singer Van Morrison, ex-Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, US singer-songwriter Patti Smith, Fleet Foxes, Jarvis Cocker and Doves. Founded in 2003, Green Man has become one of the most popular alternative festivals. In 2012 it won best "grass roots" event at the UK Festival Awards. The festival, held annually near Crickhowell, was a sellout last year with about 20,000 people attending. Twenty-two people were killed and 59 injured in a suicide attack at Manchester Arena on Monday night at an Ariana Grande concert. The mother of Jayden Parkinson said she was unhappy her daughter's image had been posted alongside images of other people alleged to be missing. Jayden, 17, was strangled by her ex-boyfriend in Oxfordshire. "She was killed almost four years ago not last night, not happy," Samantha Shrewsbury tweeted, after seeing the picture on an online newspaper article. "Why is my MURDERED daughter's picture being used in a collage of pictures of children missing dead after last night terror attack?" she asked. Ms Shrewsbury also posted a We Stand with Manchester picture. Speaking to the BBC, she said: "It is horrible to see her photo being used in this way. "I feel sorry for the genuine parents of missing children. "The collage is still being retweeted... I can't figure out who made the collage and why they would include my daughter's picture in it. "We are still trying to get to the bottom of this." Several images circulating online after the Manchester attack have been identified as fakes. Jayden was found in the graveyard of All Saints Church in Didcot, Oxfordshire, in December 2013. She had been killed by Ben Blakeley, 23, from Reading, and hidden in his uncle's grave. Blakeley was jailed for life in 2014. Stella was seized in 2014 and has been kept in a 3ft by 9ft cage in Devon ever since. Devon and Cornwall Police refused to give specific reasons why the dog could not be exercised. They said she was considered potentially dangerous. A worker at the kennels said they were told by police not to exercise dogs held under the Dangerous Dogs Act. A destruction order for Stella was passed by Torquay Magistrates' Court on 8 February. Her owner was given 21 days to appeal. What does it cost to kennel potentially dangerous dogs? The latest on Stella's story and other news from Devon and Cornwall Laura Khanlarian worked as an assistant at the private kennel used by Devon and Cornwall Police. She said Stella left her kennel twice during her stay, only for behaviour assessments. Ms Khanlarian said: "We were always told not to exercise or go into a kennel with any dogs, regardless of character, that had been brought in under the Dangerous Dogs Act. "We were under no circumstances allowed to touch any of those dogs - which was hard. "Animal welfare comes before anything, and that was my job. I don't believe I would be doing it properly if I would sit back and think that's OK. It wasn't OK - it's not OK." Stella, a pit bull-type dog, was seized after police visited her owner, Antony Hastie, in Devon on an unrelated matter in 2014. She was considered potentially dangerous because of her breed, her behaviour when police seized her and her behaviour in assessments. Court proceedings heard from Mr Hastie, who said there were no incidents of aggressive behaviour prior to her being seized. Evidence heard during the court case included video footage of Stella's behaviour after she had spent nearly two years locked in the kennel. Mr Hastie attended court 11 times over Stella, but in February 2016 it was ruled she should be destroyed. Kendal Shepherd, a vet of 30 years and animal behaviour expert, said: "It's terrible. It's unjustified. It's wasting huge amounts of money and it's not doing a single thing to prevent dog bites. "It's cruel. But it's what our system forces us to do." The RSPCA has created a guide to good practice for all police forces, which states: "Dogs must be provided with the opportunity to exercise away from their kennel at least once a day and this should be for a total of at least 30 minutes." 7,000 put in kennels over five years £5m spent on kennelling £650 - Average spent per dog 985 days - Longest period a seized dog was kennelled Sgt Allan Knight, from the Devon and Cornwall Police dog handling unit, said the force has released dogs back to their owners during proceedings in the past. He added: "There will always be some dogs, for whatever reason, that cannot go back, and cannot get walked by staff because of the danger they possess. "We are bound by the court process." In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "In the past two years, in the region of a hundred dogs have been seized by Devon and Cornwall Police. "During this time Stella, an illegal breed that had to be seized, has been the only dog deemed too dangerous to walk due to her aggressive behaviour. "Once the dog was seized, an initial review was made in which the decision was reached that Stella was too dangerous to be exercised by kennel staff. This assessment remained under constant review and a number of further examinations were made by independent external experts including the RSPCA, who were all in agreeance that the animal was too dangerous for staff to exercise. "At all times we must balance the needs of the welfare of the animal and the safety of kennel staff. The long established, licensed and accredited kennel in question was in agreement with our assessment. The dog has had continual kennel enrichment with staff and remained in fine and fit condition throughout. "This dog has threatened and shown aggressive behaviour towards two Police Community Support Officers. There were also occasions where Stella showed aggressive behaviour prior to being seized, which were fully described in court. Stella then attempted to bite a court appointed independent expert during the dog's assessment. "The length of this criminal case is extremely rare. None of the adjournments were requested or caused by Devon and Cornwall Police." The full story will be shown on BBC Inside Out South West on Monday 29 February at 19:30 and will be available on BBC iPlayer. Reclaim the Power set up camp in the doorway to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in London. Other members brought major traffic disruption to Swansea after blockading a new university building. Police have been in attendance at both sites. The campaigners from Reclaim the Power's six-day camp at Blackpool said they were reacting to the release of a UK government report last week. They claimed 63 sections on the potential impacts of shale gas exploration on rural communities had been deleted. They said the missing sections include analysis around falling house prices and failing rural services. They say the chapter examining the effect of drilling on house prices had three sections cut. At 08:00 BST on Monday in London three activists super-glued themselves to the doors, while another activist climbed the building and put up a banner which read: "What's to hide Defra? - Don't frack with our future." One of the campaigners apparently super-glued to Defra's doors was Lindsay Alderton, from London. She said it was "shameful" the government was "keeping secret the impacts of shale gas extraction" and the public "has a right to know". "This morning we're here at Defra to remind them that they work for the public that pays them their wages, and that the public demands to know the facts about fracking - censoring is not an acceptable option," added Ms Alderton. Some other activists wore black tape across their mouths. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers were called at 07:30 BST and there were about 15 protesters at the scene - some had climbed scaffolding. Meanwhile in Swansea, eight protesters shut down construction of a new Swansea University building on Fabian Way - the main route into the city from the M4. The protest began at 06:00 BST and caused chaos for commuters. The activists said they dressed as "mad scientists" to protest against fracking research. They camped outside the site and dropped a "No Fracking" banner from the top of the building while another protester was locked on to a tripod. They say they are "angered" by "tens of millions of public money being funnelled into research on fracking via Swansea University's new Energy Safety Research Institute". A spokeswoman for Swansea University confirmed the UK and Welsh governments had both funded research at the institute into "all types of energy, and one of those could be fracking". She also confirmed previous landowners BP had donated the site to the university, which the protesters have highlighted. South Wales Police said it acknowledged the campaigners' right "to peaceful protest" and tried to minimise disruption to the community during the protest - which ended at around 13.00 BST. Activists have also staged a "die-in" at the Blackpool branch of HSBC the bank providing its services to a fracking company, while a PR agency for the company had activists wearing toxic suits turn up. A UK government spokesman said: "There is no evidence that house prices have been affected in over half a century of oil and gas exploration in the UK or evidence that this would be the case with shale. "This government believes that shale has a positive part to play in our future energy mix, providing energy security, driving growth and creating jobs."

Chris Masters, 44, was "a picture of health" before he was taken ill while on holiday with wife Yvonne last month. When he was fit to fly, his insurers said his local NHS did not have a bed. Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust (SATH) said it had been "very busy recently" but had now found a bed for Mr Masters. More on Chris' story and other news from Shropshire Mr Masters' family was "desperate" to have him home and suggested he was sent to an intensive therapy unit near his parents' home in Birmingham or anywhere in the UK. But Mrs Masters said their insurer, MAPFRE Assistance, told her "hospitals outside a patient's catchment area would not consider accepting a patient unless under extreme circumstances." MAPFRE said its medical team had received information that confirmed Mr Masters was fit to fly and it was working on bed admission in the UK. Debbie Kadum, chief operating officer at SATH, said: "Our hospitals have been very busy recently and we would like to apologise to this gentleman's family for the delays they have faced in repatriating him. "We have identified a bed for this gentleman and understand that the repatriation team and hospital staff in Thailand are aiming for him to be transferred to one of our intensive therapy units once a flight is available." Prop forward Adam Walker was spoken to regarding offences of attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child. The 24-year-old has not been arrested and voluntarily attended the police station, West Yorkshire Police said. A statement from the rugby club before its match against Huddersfield Giants on Sunday said it was "appropriate" Mr Walker be stood down for selection. "This is not an admission of wrongdoing but felt to be in the best interests of everyone, including Adam," the club said. No disciplinary action has been taken, it added. Mr Walker, from Bradford, was signed by the Super League team on a three-year deal in 2014. He previously played for Huddersfield Giants. Andrew Bedford, 27, from Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, was last seen at 18:20 BST on Friday, 28 September 1990 at Factory Bank, off Great Whyte, Ramsey. Three people were arrested in connection but no-one was charged. Police say they now believe he was shot dead later that Friday. The cold case investigation has now officially become a murder inquiry, officers said. Mr Bedford was last seen eating a takeaway in a light blue Ford Cortina car. Despite extensive searches involving police helicopters and divers, a nationwide poster campaign and a Crimestoppers reconstruction no trace of Mr Bedford was found. A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "It was always known murder was a strong possibility but his body was never found." However, detectives believe he was killed with a shotgun sometime during the evening of 28 September at a garage called Mongrel Cars, which no longer exists, in Ramsey. Three people arrested on 30 September 1990 on suspicion of murdering Mr Bedford were released without charge. Det Insp Ian Simmons from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: "Having reviewed the circumstances of Andrew's disappearance and given nearly 25 years have passed, we are now confident he is dead and was murdered. "A team of detectives... is devoted to the cold case and we want to speak to anyone who has any information about Mr Bedford's disappearance and death." The prime suspect for the shooting is now dead, "but others who were involved have never been brought to justice", the spokesman added. When Mr Bedford was last seen he was wearing overalls, a khaki jumper, jeans and trainers. He was described as 5ft 8in (1.72m), medium build with mousey blond, curly, shoulder-length hair and had a number of tattoos. Officials have confirmed they spotted debris near the town of Oksibil. The Trigana Air flight was heading to the town from the provincial capital, Jayapura, when it lost contact at 14:55 local time (05:55 GMT) on Sunday. The plane was carrying 44 adult passengers, five children and infants, and five crew members. It is not yet known if anyone survived. Indonesian post office officials told the BBC the plane was also carrying four bags containing about 6.5 billion rupiah ($486,000; £300,000) in cash, which was being taken to villages in remote areas. "Our colleagues carry those bags to be handed out directly to poor people over there," said the head of Jayapura's post office, Haryono, who goes by only his first name. The head of Indonesia's national search and rescue agency, Bambang Soelistyo, said a search plane had spotted suspected debris and billowing smoke at 8,500 feet above sea level, about 50km (31 miles) from Oksibil Airport. About 50 search and rescue workers, soldiers, and policemen are making their way from Oksibil to the site. The ATR42-300 twin turboprop plane took off from Sentani airport in Jayapura at 14:21, but lost contact with air traffic controllers half an hour later. Bad weather is believed to have been a possible reason for the crash. A search plane was forced to turn back on Sunday because of dangerous flying conditions. Villagers had earlier told officials that a plane had crashed into a mountain. Bad weather and rugged terrain are said to be hampering efforts to reach the site. Oksibil, which is about 280km south of Jayapura, is a remote, mountainous region, which is extremely difficult to navigate. Indonesian President Joko Widodo has expressed his condolences on Twitter and called for the country to "pray together" for the victims. Trigana Air has had 14 serious incidents since it began operations in 1991, losing 10 aircraft in the process, according to the Aviation Safety Network. It has been on a European Union blacklist of banned carriers since 2007. All but four of Indonesia's certified airlines are on the list. Indonesia has suffered two major air disasters in the past year. Last December an AirAsia plane crashed in the Java Sea, killing all 192 people on board - and in July a military transport plane crashed in a residential area of Medan, Sumatra claiming 140 lives. 4 May 2017 Last updated at 07:41 BST A team of Microsoft researcher have been helping children who have trouble seeing learn how to code. Coding usually involves you dragging and dropping blocks of commands together. This means you can create programs that can move a character around a maze or speed through space. Children who can't see very well usually have trouble with this part of coding because they have difficulty looking at the blocks of code on a computer. Now though thanks to a special project called Project Torino they can make code using plastic pods to create programmes. St Beuno's in Gwyddelwern, which has plants growing out of its spire, will use the Heritage Lottery Fund grant for work on the spire, tower and roof. Church wardens hope the work will allow the building to reopen for church services and community use. A church is believed to have stood on the site since the seventh century. Canon Martin Snellgrove, the rector of the Corwen group of parishes, said the appearance of the church was a central problem for the village. "We haven't even got to get out of your car and get below 30mph to see that there are that there are trees growing out of the spire which have been there for some years and there has been lots of masonry falling off the top of the tower damaging the spire," he told BBC Radio Wales. "On of the most regular effects [of the church being closed] is that the school children who usually cross the churchyard to get to the canolfan (centre) where they do various activities have to take the long route by the road because the church is closed because it's unsafe. "The congregation is meeting in a committee room in the canolfan and we have had two funerals that I know of in the last year and one wedding that have had to be located elsewhere. "It would be good to have our building back." The Senegal midfielder turned Nedum Onuoha to fire into the top corner. QPR, led by academy coach Chris Ramsey after boss Harry Redknapp resigned on Tuesday, remain in the bottom three. Jose Fonte hit the bar in the first half for Southampton, whose left-back Matt Targett was taken to hospital with a head injury. The England Under-20 defender, in the starting line-up because Ryan Bertrand was suspended, needed seven minutes of treatment on the pitch after being left motionless an aerial collision with QPR winger Matty Phillips. Media playback is not supported on this device Manager Ronald Koeman, though, later confirmed that Targett had suffered no serious damage. Koeman's side were good value for their fifth successive away victory, against a Rangers side who created few clear chances, although substitute Mauro Zarate had a goal disallowed after Mane scored. Tim Sherwood, who is expected to be Redknapp's permanent replacement, was not at Loftus Road to witness a game that suggested QPR have a lot of work to do if they are to remain in the Premier League. Stand-in boss Ramsey attempted to freshen up QPR's side by giving Adel Taarabt - dismissed as not fit enough to play by Redknapp earlier this season - only his second league start of the campaign. The Moroccan midfielder showed some neat touches, including a clever nutmegging of James Ward-Prowse, but was largely well policed by Victor Wanyama and was substituted after an hour. Eljero Elia, who scored his first two Southampton goals when they won their last away game at Newcastle on 17 January, nearly embarrassed Rob Green early on, chipping wide from Wanyama's pass with the Rangers keeper out of position. The visitors had the best first-half chances, with Fonte coming closest as he volleyed Ward-Prowse's corner against the bar from eight yards. Mane had tested Green before that, and steered a shot wide after running in behind Clint Hill later in the half. Media playback is not supported on this device Rangers created more openings in the second half, with Zarate steering a shot straight at Fraser Forster after Nathaniel Clyne failed to clear Phillips' cross. Forster then reacted superbly to flick over a Joey Barton shot that was deflected off QPR's 13-goal top scorer Charlie Austin. But Mane, playing his second Saints game since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, capped an excellent performance with a stylish winner. Southampton boss Ronald Koeman on Matt Target's head injury: "Everything is now under control. He will have a headache but nothing more. That's good news." On his side's performance: "I think we played well. We played good football and we had the best chances in the game. We were maybe lucky that Fraser Forster made that great save 10 minutes before the end, but I think the better team won today." QPR caretaker-manager Chris Ramsey: "If I'm honest, I felt we rode our luck a bit in the first half. But the defeat was very difficult to take. "It gives a lot of hope to the owners and fans to see that the players are trying their best to keep us in the division. We had some good spells of play, but we really need to tighten up on the quality of our passing and our creativity in the final third." Match ends, Queens Park Rangers 0, Southampton 1.

Two air ambulances were sent to the incident on the A4043 Cwmavon Road, near Pontypool, at about 19:00 BST. Two people have been flown to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. Paramedics are treating six other casualties, with reports some may be trapped in the wreckage. The road remains closed in both directions. Sergei Ivanov, 55, was last seen in Papa Westray last Monday morning. Police Scotland said there was concern for his welfare. Anyone with information has been asked to contact police on 101. Richard Pentreath, 63, also known as Hilary Clifford Thomas, is wanted on suspicion of causing arson with intent to endanger life on Thursday. On Monday, he was found guilty of historical rape offences in his absence after failing to attend Woolwich Crown Court in London, police have said. He is thought to have left Prestatyn by train in the early hours. He was last seen at Crewe Railway Station in Cheshire on Thursday at 05:30 BST. A warrant was issued for his arrest following Monday's court case. Police said he has links to the London, Gloucester and Manchester areas. He is described as white, over 6ft tall (1.82m), with a slim build. He has short dark swept back hair and a full grey beard. He also wears glasses. He was last seen wearing a dark coloured bobble hat, a waist length brown jacket and dark coloured jeans or trousers. Det Chf Insp Ian Verburg from North Wales Police said: "We are in contact with other police forces, including British Transport Police, and are appealing for anybody who may have seen him, or anybody who may know of his whereabouts, to contact North Wales Police immediately. "I would urge him to hand himself in at the nearest police station." The investigation into Princess Cruise Lines followed a tip-off that the company had illegally discharged oily waste off the coast of England in 2013. The department said the firm had also tried to cover up its waste dumping. It has agreed to plead guilty to seven charges related to stops at ports in nine US states and two territories. The charges relate to the Caribbean Princess cruise ship, which the department said had been making illegal discharges since 2005, one year after the vessel started operations. This was done using equipment - including a so-called "magic pipe" - to bypass pollution-prevention tools that separate oil and monitor oil levels in the ship's water, the department said. US investigators began to probe the ship's actions after an engineer reported an illegal dump off the coast of England in August 2013. The engineer quit his position when the ship reached Southampton. The ports linked to the charges were in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the department said. Jeremy Smart, head of enforcement at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, said the case sent "a clear message to the industry that this kind of pollution practice will not be tolerated anywhere in the world". Princess Cruise Lines is a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, the world's largest cruise company. The US Justice Department said the fine was the largest-ever criminal penalty involving deliberate vessel pollution. British number three Evans, 26, won for the first time on clay at ATP Tour level on Monday when he beat Thiago Monteiro in his tournament opener. He will play world number nine Dominic Thiem next after the Austrian beat Britain's Kyle Edmund 6-1 6-4. Meanwhile, British number four Aljaz Bedene beat Marius Copil in Budapest. Bedene was supposed to take on Federico Delbonis, but the Argentine failed to recover from an injury that caused him to retire from an event in Morocco earlier this month. Instead, Bedene overcame his Romanian stand-in Copil 7-5 6-2 in an hour and 26 minutes. Bedene has now lost only once in his past 19 matches after three tournament wins on the second-tier Challenger circuit. He will face Dutchman Robin Haase in the next round. Elsewhere, British world number one Andy Murray will face Bernard Tomic in Barcelona on Wednesday after the Australian beat Dustin Brown in three sets. That is the kind of technological feat that won Shaheed Ebrahim, owner of the Escape to the Cape tour company, the 2011/2012 Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year award in South Africa. Last year, about 4.5 million tourists visited Cape Town, so there is fierce competition to attract customers from this growing market. "There are hundreds of tour operators out in Cape Town but the difference is that we've taken technology that's available and put it onto our tours, thereby enhancing the tours," he told the BBC's series African Dream. "What's the technology I'm talking about? Wi-fi on a moving vehicle, so somebody could be taking a photo, say of Table Mountain, and as you drive into the next spot, they could be Facebooking it and Tweeting it, and emailing it to anybody," he explained. He added that his company also provides customised telephony applications on board. "With Skype they could call whichever country they want to. We've got applications for the US clients so they can call a landline or a mobile number in the US from the complimentary iPads that we have on the vehicle." Escape to the Cape has also thought about something which can be a real nightmare for tourists in many parts of the world - finding the right adaptors for their electric equipment. "Every seat virtually has got a facility to charge any device - whether it's a cell phone, whether it's an iPod or iPad, whatever device that they have, and in all about 12 gadgets could be charged simultaneously," the entrepreneur said. Besides the communication technology, there is also a fridge on board for the clients to use, and he offers them complimentary water or a taste of some of the world-famous Western Cape wines. Mr Ebrahim knows from experience what visitors to a foreign country usually expect. After completing a Bachelor of Commerce degree in marketing, he worked for a few years in the United Kingdom and travelled widely. In August 2009, he left his job as a private banker when he was asked to relocate to India - where the bank he worked for was based - and was planning to open a petrol station. But his wife, knowing that he enjoyed showing visiting relatives and friends around Cape Town, advised him to do an accredited tour guiding course, in time for the football World Cup which took place in South Africa in 2010, so that he could be part of the experience. "In October 2009, I completed the course and started guiding part-time till the World Cup came, where I was kept quite busy," the entrepreneur remembers. "It went so well that I continued but always having in the back of my mind that this was only a part-time thing." However, inspired by his dream of being his own boss, his flair for entrepreneurship and his love for Cape Town, he decided to start his tour company. He spent around $4,000 (£2,500) to register it, get a website and pay for marketing collaterals. Mr Ebrahim then took out around $32,000 out of his mortgage to buy a 7-seater vehicle to which he added the latest gadgets. "My medium-term plan for this business is to grow my own fleet so that I can have more vehicles around Cape Town and my long-term plan is to actually go national, around South Africa. I have had many private-equity funders wanting me to go national," the entrepreneur said. Prashant Bajaj, an Indian tourist who was spending his honeymoon with his wife Risha in Cape Town, told the BBC's Mohammed Allie that it was the availability of the latest technology that attracted them to use Escape to the Cape. "It was very unique and I think it was very innovative for someone to do that. The technology is really advancing, and I think it's a very good idea for him to incorporate technology into tourism. I think it's the best idea ever because it makes life easier for us," he said. "In a sense, all of us carry our own cameras but it's easier to just upload them down the iPad and, while going, we can view it even more efficiently so it makes life easier, and through the wi-fi you can easily transfer the data immediately on your laptop." So what advice does Mr Ebrahim have for people who would like to start their own business? "Follow your instinct, do some research but most of all enjoy what you are doing, then take a calculated risk," he said. "Without having a passion or enjoying what you're doing, getting up every morning wanting to do it, you're not going to succeed and I've had personal experience of this. "Secondly, it's the perseverance because many times you get into an industry - whether it's tourism or anything else - you get inundated and you get sucked into the old industry that's going on, and all the negativity, so you need to persevere in terms of bad times as well, and thirdly, you have to be innovative, you have to come up with something different." If you have any questions for Shaheed Ibrahim, please join him in a live Q&A on the BBC Africa Facebook page from 1600 - 1700GMT on Friday 1 February African Dream is broadcast on the BBC Focus on Africa radio programme every Thursday afternoon, and on BBC World News throughout the day on Fridays Every week, one successful business man or woman will explain how they started off and what others could learn from them. Supply teacher Caroline Andrews, 52, was found dead at a house in The Street, Benenden, on 4 February. Stuart Andrews, 54, who appeared before Judge Jeremy Carey at Maidstone Crown Court spoke only to confirm his name. He was remanded in custody and is next due to appear at the same court on 1 April. A provisional trial date was set for 25 July. A post-mortem examination showed mother-of-four Mrs Andrews died from strangulation. Two are British citizens - the third a UK resident. At least one of them is reported to be of Iraqi Kurdish origin. The men were in possession of 22 firearms and more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition, police say. They are suspected of being part of a "criminal gang". They are due to be charged on Tuesday. They have reportedly asked to speak in court in Kurdish. The UK Foreign Office says it is "urgently looking into the reports". No names have been released. The weapons were not combat rifles but could have been used for training, a police official told Reuters news agency. Acting on a tip-off, the Greek police and coast guard set up a surveillance operation over several days which led to the arrest of two of the men at the entrance to Alexandroupolis port. They were driving a car towing a caravan. Concealed inside it, police found 18 guns, 39,750 cartridges, currencies including Turkish lira and Iraqi dinars, and seven mobile phones. Another man was arrested near the Kipoi border point on the Evros river, as he was driving a trailer with German number plates. Inside, police found four Walther handguns, 200,000 cartridges, eight night-vision goggles and cash in various currencies. Amal El-Wahabi, 28, tried to trick a friend into carrying 20,000 euros (£15,800) to Turkey, the court heard. Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC told El-Wahabi that she knew her husband Aine Davis was involved in fighting and she was sending him cash to help his cause. Davis, a former drug dealer with a conviction for possessing a firearm, left the UK in July 2013. The judge said El-Wahabi should spend half the sentence in prison and then be released to spend the remainder on licence. He said the length of the sentence had been influenced by the fact that she was the mother of two young children. In January this year, Davis, also known as Hamza, asked his wife to arrange the delivery of cash to neighbouring Turkey. El-Wahabi, from north London, persuaded an old school friend, Nawal Msaad, to act as courier in return for 1,000 euros. However, the plan fell apart when Ms Msaad was stopped at Heathrow Airport and confirmed to police that she was carrying the cash. A court later heard claims that she had hidden it in her underwear. Ms Msaad told the trial earlier this year that she did not realise what the cash was for - and she was found not guilty of being part of the plot. Sentencing El-Wahabi, Judge Hilliard said that there was clear evidence that Davis had gone to Syria to fight under the black flag of Isis and also that he had "no true regard" for her. "I am also satisfied that you knew he was engaged in violence with guns for extremist religious and ideological reasons and knew the money you were sending was destined for that purpose." Judge Hilliard said that her two children, aged five and 17 months, had been "innocent victims" of the crime. In mitigation, Mark Summers QC, appealed for a suspended sentence saying that El-Wahabi had lived under the "constant threat" that her husband would leave her for another wife in Syria. But prosecutor Kate Wilkinson said that El-Wahabi had stayed in contact with Davis and had encouraged his activities. She had sent one message saying that "it will be good for your body and soul". Judge Hilliard said: "I am satisfied that the initiative for this offence must have come from Aine Davis and you committed it because you were infatuated with him and thought he might provide for you and your two children. "You even contemplated taking your children to Turkey to be nearer their father, when it should have been obvious to you it was in their interests they should be as far away from him as possible." Acting Commander Terri Nicholson of the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command said: "A necessary component of terrorism is finance. Whether the funding of terrorism takes place in the UK or overseas, the offences are serious and will be subject to thorough investigation. In this case, a large quantity of cash was seized which would otherwise have supported terrorist activity in the Syrian conflict. "This conviction should be viewed as a very clear message not to support those engaged in terrorism. There are well established charities through which people can donate for humanitarian purposes in Syria. "These charities have experience in providing such assistance in high risk, insecure and dangerous environments. Donations must be made via these routes." Tom Condliff, 62, of Stoke-on-Trent, lost his Court of Appeal battle to make North Staffordshire PCT pay for the procedure on Wednesday. He said he needed the operation to save his life after becoming obese from the drugs he takes for long-term diabetes. The Supreme Court has now rejected his application for a hearing. Mr Condliff's solicitor Oliver Wright confirmed the refusal saying "it is the end of the line." He said: "We could go to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, but that will take years and he will be dead well before that. "He is a dying man. His doctors in April this year gave him about a year." The grandfather has a body mass index (BMI) of 43 - not high enough under his PCT's rules to qualify for surgery. Only patients with a BMI above 50 are routinely treated with weight loss surgery in North Staffordshire. Mr Condliff's lawyers had argued that the PCT had applied a funding policy which was legally flawed and breached his human rights. He lost a High Court battle over the PCT's decision not to fund the operation in April. On Wednesday, Appeal Court judges expressed sympathy for Mr Condliff saying: "Anyone in his situation would feel desperate." But they maintained the PCT "on proper medical advice does not consider his condition to be exceptional for someone with his diabetes, obesity and co-morbidities". Mr Condliff also argued that it was also more cost effective for the NHS if he had the procedure. The operation costs £5,500 and his current treatment costs at least £30,000 and will rise as his condition worsens, his solicitor said. He suffers from 13 illnesses, takes 28 different drugs and uses breathing masks and inhalers. Matthew and Nawwar Bryant said Zachary, a "loving, happy, and perfect little baby", was the light of their lives. "He leaves us with the best three months and 14 days of wonderful memories spent in this world," they said in a statement. A man has been charged with five murders over the incident on Friday. Dimitrious Gargasoulas, 26, was remanded in custody on Monday to face a court hearing in August. Police allege he deliberately drove a car into pedestrians in Bourke St Mall in central Melbourne, killing five people and injuring 37 others. Three of those killed have been identified as Thalia Hakin, 10, Jess Mudie, 22, and Matthew Si, 33. Another victim, a 25-year-old man from Japan, has not been named. Zachary's two-year-old sister, Zara, was also injured in the incident and remains in a stable condition. "Zac, Mummy and Daddy love you very much, and always will," the Bryants said, as they released photos of their two children. Thousands of mourners attended a public vigil in central Melbourne on Monday night. The city's Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, thanked the crowd for its support following "an unthinkable act". "Melbourne is our home," he said. "When it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us." An Air India official told the BBC that the order had been made on the basis of a document issued by the civil aviation authority last year. The airline had warned 600 of its crew to "shape up" last year, but 125 had not managed to maintain the required weight, the official said. The airline says however that the issue is not one of weight, but "fitness". Airline officials confirmed to the BBC that the directive had been issued, but said it was part of an internal document which they could not comment on publicly. They said the basis for the recommendation was concern that "unfit" cabin crew would not be able to operate efficiently in emergency situations. Aviation regulations state that a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18-25 is normal for a male cabin crew member, while for a female it is 18-22. Aviation expert Kapil Kaul told the BBC: "An overweight crew is a signal the airline is not fit. You need a smart friendly agile crew that can complement the image of the airline." However, national union leader Tapan Sen denied that service rules mention any firm weight restriction for cabin crew. This is not the first time Air India has grounded staff over weight issues. In 2009, it dismissed nine hostesses for being "overweight" on safety grounds saying their shape could "impair agility". In 2004, the airline landed itself in further controversy when it said that potential air hostesses and stewards should not have any scars, acne, or any major marks on the face. The Tinsley Art Project aims to appoint an artist to develop a design worth up to £450,000. The piece will be Sheffield's largest-ever public art commission and will be funded by energy company E.ON. The company pledged the money to the council after the structures were demolished in August 2008. Andrew Skelton, public art officer at Sheffield City Council, said: "It's an area of change, hope and aspiration." "Tinsley was an absolute heart of our industrial history, but now it's a fantastic area of bio-diversity - a really rich and pleasant environment to be in." The project will be in addition to the construction of the man of steel sculpture which will overlook the M1 at Kimberworth. Mr Skelton said: "I'm hoping that we'll get something that is really innovative and exciting - the crucial thing is that it draws people down there. "In a fantastic part of the city, the regeneration is happening and people should go down and enjoy it. " Arter, 26, and his fiancee Rachel were left grieving last December when their daughter Renee was still-born. The midfielder admits the tragedy means he has a changed perspective. "Before that, this would have been the be all and end all for me. If I didn't get in the squad, I would probably have been devastated," says Arter. Over the next few days, Arter will discover whether or not Republic boss Martin O'Neill has included him in his 23-man squad for France. If O'Neill leaves Arter out, the Bournemouth midfielder will be "disappointed" but it will be in context. "I certainly know what devastation means now, it has a completely different meaning to me. If I did miss out, it would be a disappointment, certainly not devastation. "I have tried to stay professional throughout. Luckily for me, I am passionate about football and I have had something to focus my mind on after what happened. "Some people, unfortunately it takes over their life." Should Arter make the plane, he says he will climb on board with his daughter firmly in his mind. "I want to try to do her proud, I want to try to make my family proud. It's still pretty raw in the sense that it's only been just over five months. "In my eyes and my family's eyes, she was with us for nine months. I am proud to say she was my daughter and I want to try to do her proud if she is watching." Professionally, a trip to the Euros would cap a remarkable turn-around for a man who dropped down into the non-league ranks after being released by Charlton as a teenager. The London native rebuilt his career at Woking before being snapped up by the Cherries, where he played a key role in their promotion to the Premier League during the 2014-15 campaign. Injuries have hampered him this season but he still has played his part in keeping Bournemouth in the top flight. Arter is hoping to earn his second Irish cap in Friday's game against the Netherlands in Dublin after making his debut against England a year ago. "Regardless of the journey, to go to the Euros would be a dream come true for any player who has never experienced it. The journey is just part of my story, really." Tokyo's Nikkei 225 jumped to finish the day 4.1% up, at 16,746.55 points, the highest point for the index in just over three weeks. Earlier, US markets had risen on oil prices and strong economic data, suggesting the world's biggest economy was regaining momentum. Japan's exporters were among the best performers on the Nikkei trading floor. Electronics giants Sony and Panasonic led the pack, gaining about 5% and 7% respectively. With Australia's fourth quarter growth beating expectations, the ASX/200 rose 2% to close the day at 5,021.20 points. The country's economy grew by 3% in the three months to December compared with a year earlier. Household consumption, construction and public spending were the main factors driving the better-than-expected growth. Shares in commodity giants Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton rose by 4.7% and 4.37% respectively. Moody's cuts China outlook In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index closed the session up 3.07% at 20,003.49, extending the global rally as investor sentiment brightened on the improved US economic data. China's mainland benchmark Shanghai Composite also followed the upbeat regional trend and finished the trading day up 4.26% to 2,849.68. Investor sentiment remained unfazed by US ratings agency Moody's decision to cut its outlook for China from stable to negative. South Korea's benchmark Kospi index finished up 1.6% at 1,947.42 points. Car makers Hyundai and Kia also rose, boosted by strong sales figures from the US. Joint sales figures of the affiliated car markers rose by 6.4% in the US in February. The Sandgrounders dominated the early stages and James Gray missed a good chance to put his side ahead. North Ferriby had chances in the first half, as Reece Thompson cut inside before smashing against the bar. On the stroke of half-time, Liam Nolan poked in the only goal for the visitors - the first time Southport had scored from open play in the first half of a match this season. The Villagers responded vigorously in the second half, but Steve Burr's men deserved the points for some stern defending.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. Sion Simon, Labour's West Midlands metro mayor candidate, is among people calling for public ownership of the road to ease congestion on other roads. But the Department for Transport said buying the road, which links Cannock and Coleshill, would cost about £1bn. Midlands Expressway, which operates the M6 Toll, said it already carried 85% to 90% of through traffic at peak times. For this reason, the firm added, making the road free would be of "little benefit" for reducing wider congestion. However, Mr Simon claimed the road was often "empty". "We need support from the government to take that road into regional control, making it free and taking the pressure off roads in the conurbation so people can move around," he said. But Bob Sleigh, the Conservative leader of Solihull Council and chairman of the West Midlands Combined Authority, said the problem was drivers were using motorways for local journeys and were "junction hopping". The answer was improving the local road network instead, he said. The 27-mile route in the West Midlands opened in 2003 at a cost of £900m to build. Car drivers are charged £5.50 and HGVs £11 to use the road during the week. There is some support for the government's view that the Islamic State group was behind the attack, but other writers accuse the authorities of neglecting public security. Kurdish and left-wing voices have gone so far as to accuse the authorities of carrying out the attacks in a bid, they say, to weaken the pro-Kurdish opposition ahead of November's snap parliamentary election. Arab media are generally accusing Turkey of a lax approach to armed Islamist groups. Turkish television channels of all political complexions have been leading on the story. Pro-government channels carried official statements vowing to punish those responsible, while opposition stations highlighted calls by pro-Kurdish and other opposition parties for ministers to resign. Pro-opposition Fox TV noted "tension at the commemorative ceremony" as police stopped mourners from laying flowers at the scene. Centre-right newspapers generally support the government view. Hurriyet and Milliyet say (in Turkish) evidence points to Islamic State, while Vahdet sees the blasts as the group's attempt to turn the country "into another Syria". Nonetheless, pro-government Aksam promotes a theory that Syria's President Bashar al-Assad ordered the rebel Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to plant the bombs. Opposition papers are far more critical of the authorities. Left-wing Evrensel and Birgun call on the government to resign over security lapses, while pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem bluntly dubs President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a "murderer". Secular Cumhuriyet also highlights alleged security failings. It headlines its website "bomb exploded as police stood by or watched", saying there were at least 20 undercover police officers in the vicinity. Kurdish online media lead on the PKK and its allies accusing the government of carrying out the bomb attacks as what they say is part of an election ploy. They highlight a PKK statement saying "nobody else is behind the massacre apart from Erdogan and his counter-guerrilla team", while the pro-PKK Kurdish National Congress holds the governing AKP party and President Erdogan "responsible for the Ankara massacre". Both statements draw parallels between the bombings and deadly attacks on pro-Kurdish rallies in Suruc and Diyarbakir earlier this year, accusing the state of carrying them out in order to end the Turkey-PKK "peace process". The pro-PKK Roj News website highlights comments by Hatip Dicle, co-leader of the Kurdish Democratic Society Congress, equating the "mentality of the AKP and Islamic State". Arab media cover the story in less detail and, although they generally agree that Islamic State is to blame, many accuse the Turkish government of being soft on jihadists. Egypt's official Al-Ahram newspaper accuse the government of making the country a "target for terrorism" through its "lax attitude" to jihadists crossing borders. This view is shared by Syrian official newspapers and Lebanon's pro-Syrian Al-Safir, which accuse President Erdogan of playing politics with people's lives in the run-up to early parliamentary elections next month. Saudi Arabia's Al-Madinah is more sympathetic, and urges international cooperation to "expose those who support terrorism". The Saudi-owned London newspaper Al-Hayat sees a "widening rift" between the government and Kurds in Turkey. Iranian media made little comment on the story, and outlets that did pick it up were firmly anti-Erdogan. The official Arabic-language Iranian TV channel Al-Alam notes opposition accusations that the government is behind the attack, and the conservative newspaper Resalat sees Saturday's blasts as further evidence that President Erdogan is "losing authority at home and abroad".

In fact in its statement the central bank said that while the intention was to keep the yuan "basically stable", market forces will be given a bigger role in the economy. Analysts say that could indicate that there may be further devaluation of the currency ahead - although China says this is a one-off event to react to a "complex situation" which "is posing new challenges". So why is this important? Well, Washington has been pressing Beijing to allow its currency to reflect what it thinks is its fair, higher value - the US argues that China keeps its exchange rate unfairly low so as to keep the price of its goods more affordable when they're sold overseas. But China watchers say there's another reason behind the devaluation - and one that's far closer to home. The Chinese currency has effectively strengthened against other Asian currencies in the last 12 months - by more than 10%. This makes Chinese goods more expensive abroad. Then came the shocker - this weekend's export figures - showing that exports slumped by 8.3% from a year ago. That's worrying news for Chinese factories, which in turn provide jobs for millions of Chinese villagers. Economists say the government may be trying to avoid job losses at these factories by weakening the yuan. The export story is just one part of it however. Analysts have also pointed to China's longer-term goal of turning the yuan into a global reserve currency. Later this year the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected to announce whether or not the Chinese yuan will be allowed into the elite currency club which includes the dollar, the euro, the pound and the yen. In the past the IMF has said that China needs to have a flexible exchange rate, so that the value of the yuan adjusts to China's growth - the way currencies do in other market-driven economies. The devaluation could be seen as a step in the right direction, but one that may well be viewed with caution by China's trade partners who are already wary of what they see as the Chinese government's management of financial markets. The Ulster Orchestra teamed up with Radio Ulster at the event, which was broadcast live from 20:00 GMT. Special guests included actor Simon Callow, writer Anita Robinson and singer Peter Corry. Presented by Wendy Austin and John Toal, the gala event featured performances by musicians, comedians, artists and Radio Ulster presenters. The acts included Dana Masters, Best Boy Grip and the Sands Family. In pictures: 40 years of BBC Radio Ulster The Hole In the Wall Gang comedy group, brought to prominence Radio Ulster's Talkback programme, also performed at the concert. On television, the documentary, Radio Days, was broadcast from 22:35 GMT on BBC One NI. Narrated by Stephen Nolan, the programme heard from the station's presenters and listeners about the station's legacy. It followed loyal listeners and features rare behind the scenes archive footage. Presenters Walter Love, Wendy Austin, Hugo Duncan and Stephen Nolan talked about their time at the station. Fergus Keeling, Head of Radio, BBC Northern Ireland, said he hoped Monday's events would be the station's way of "giving our listeners something special back". "They've joined in our birthday broadcasts, they have helped make this year special and they are the reason we do what we do." He thanked presenters and guests "for taking the time to help us celebrate in this way". "Most of all though, I'd like to thank our listeners old and new. This night is for them." BBC Director General Tony Hall said: "Congratulations to everyone who's contributed to BBC Radio Ulster over these last 40 years - whether in news, arts and drama, music or sports. "But, above all, I'd like to thank our listeners for their loyalty, their stories and their support." Broadcasting legends John Bennett and Walter Love joined the Stephen Nolan Show to talk about what has changed at Radio Ulster. ‬ On technology On practical jokes The Tunisians had made the allegations over a controversial penalty in a Nations Cup quarter-final defeat by Equatorial Guinea on 31 January. Caf has, however, rejected Tunisia's appeal against a $50,000 fine for violent conduct by its players. Furious Tunisia players had tried to attack the referee after the game. The north Africans were incensed when Mauritian referee Rajindraparsad Seechurn awarded the tournament hosts a penalty in the dying minutes which allowed them to take the game to extra-time and ultimately triumph 2-1. Tunisian officials accused Caf of bias against it for the contentious decision. Seechurn was banned for six months by Caf for his performance in the match. And Caf threatened Tunisia with expulsion from the preliminary tournament of the next Nations Cup if it did not receive an apologise by 31 March. Tunisia initially refused to do so and lodged a protest with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which they have now agreed to withdraw. Speaking in the House of Lords, Lord Dunlop said the government is fully committed to the Agreement. His statement came following the collapse of the Stormont executive over a botched green energy scheme. SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has called for "joint authority" instead of direct rule. He said that joint authority between the UK and Irish governments was the only "acceptable position for the nationalist community" should the Stormont institutions fail to be re-established after the election. On Sunday, the Northern Ireland secretary of state said he was not contemplating any alternatives to a devolved government. James Brokenshire refused to be drawn on the prospect of direct rule or joint authority with the Irish government. BBC Sport looks at five things things you may have missed on a day when League Two leaders Northampton Town moved to within three points of securing promotion. It has been a grim season for Charlton fans. The Addicks have spent most of the campaign in the second tier's relegation zone and angry supporters have staged several protests against unpopular Belgian owner Roland Duchatelet. Saturday's home game against Birmingham City was held up after just a few seconds as home supporters threw hundreds of small sponge footballs on to the pitch. Groundstaff and players were forced to collect and remove the stressballs before the game could get under way in earnest. Blues took the lead through Jon Toral before Johann Berg Gudmundsson levelled prior to half-time. It looked like that would be it before Jorge Teixeira, seen above helping clear the playing field, scored a 94th-minute winner to keep Charlton's slim survival hopes alive. However, Fulham's win against fellow strugglers MK Dons means the Addicks are still six points adrift of 21st place. Rotherham v Leeds just about had it all. Lee Frecklington, a boyhood Leeds fan, gave the Millers a first-half lead when he scored from close range. The hosts were then reduced to 10 men after the break when Matt Derbyshire saw red for an elbow on Leeds full-back Gaetano Berardi. Leeds substitute Luke Murphy's late deflected strike looked to have won his side a share of the spoils before keeper Marco Silvestri was sent off for upending Frecklington in the box. With all three subs used, defender Giuseppe Bellusci took the gloves and jersey but was unable to prevent Greg Halford's penalty earning Rotherham a fifth win in six. Shaun Miller didn't mess about for Morecambe on Saturday. The former Crewe and Sheffield United man scored his 14th goal of the season after just 54 seconds of his side's 4-2 win over Barnet. Shaun Beeley's long ball beat the Bees defence and Miller kept his composure to lob the ball over visiting goalkeeper Graham Stack. Not one to rest on his laurels, Miller was at it again after just eight minutes, slotting home from the spot after Stack had fouled him in the area. Unfortunately there would be no matchball to remember the game by as a succession of chances came and went for the 28-year-old. Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson built up something of a reputation for seeing his team pull off winners in time added on. This was best exemplified when the Red Devils scored twice in injury time to beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the 1999 Champions League final. A mere 17 years later his son Darren is enduring a far more difficult time in charge of League One strugglers Doncaster Rovers. Last week he was moved to call his team "a complete embarrassment" after their 4-1 defeat at lowly Colchester. They looked like they would pick up a much-needed three points at Rochdale before Niall Canavan's 96th-minute goal made it 2-2. "Somehow the referee found another 90 seconds to add on," Ferguson told BBC Radio Sheffield. "It's just the way it is going at the moment for whatever reason. The big man isn't shining on us. "The point is no consolation because it's a win that we needed and the mood in the dressing room is very low." Media playback is not supported on this device Reading's 1-0 win at Bolton meant the Royals are mathematically assured of their place in the Championship next season. BBC Radio Berkshire reporter Tim Dellor asked boss Brian McDermott about the poor form of striker Matej Vydra following the game, after the on-loan Watford man missed a penalty in the match. The Czech is goalless in the Championship since 28 November but it's fair to say Dellor and McDermott see his contribution a little differently to one another. Here's the transcript of their exchange on the subject: Tim Dellor: "It's an interesting spin because any way you look at it Vydra has not scored for you in the Championship yet. If you look at the number of points that are won by Reading when he is on the pitch it is incredible the disparity between when he is on the pitch and off the pitch. I think quite a lot of people, including myself, are surprised you keep picking him each week." Brian McDermott: "Well there you go. Life is full of surprises, Tim." TD: "It is. Are you not concerned about his complete lack of form in front of goal? I mean his misses today were unbelievable." BM: "I think you're being really quite harsh on him." TD: "I have no doubt I'm being harsh on him but..." BM: "No, I actually think he is working his socks off for the team and I am asking him to work his socks off. He has had opportunities and he has not scored today but there's no way in a million years I'm going to make comments about Matej Vydra that are detrimental to him. He's a great lad, he works his socks off, I see him every day in training so... I am never going to single anybody out like that because it's just wrong in my opinion." TD: "For you because you are the coach..." BM: "No, it's just totally wrong." TD: "Not wrong from me though because I'm just trying..." BM: "No Tim, you can ask whatever question you like and I have to answer it. You are entitled to ask whatever question you like but I have got so much respect for Matej Vydra."

The right-leaning Policy Exchange has published a poll of teachers on the eve of regional strikes over pay, conditions and pensions. Members of the NUT and NASUWT unions will strike on Tuesday in the Midlands, East of England, Yorkshire and Humber. Teaching unions said the survey detail did not support Policy Exchange's view. Performance-related pay (PRP) came into force for teachers in England's schools this term, giving heads more flexibility over salaries. Unions say the changes are really about cutting most teachers' salaries and most parents want schools to follow a national pay system. But Jonathan Simons, head of education at Policy Exchange, claims the poll suggests "that teachers could easily be won round to the idea of performance-related pay but more needs to be done to explain how the system would work". Pollsters YouGov questioned a weighted sample of more than 1,000 teachers in England and Wales. The main question on performance-related pay received a broadly negative response from teachers, with only 16% saying they would like to work in a school where pay was "more explicitly linked" to their overall performance, 40% saying they would not and 44% that it would make no difference. However, Policy Exchange claims that answers to other questions may indicate the possibility of a change of heart if teachers could be convinced that performance-related pay would lead to less paperwork. Some 55% said they would be more likely to want to work in a school with performance-related pay "if it also resulted in a reduction in your administrative, reporting and bureaucratic workload". Some 12% said they were less likely to want to work in such a school, while 33% said it would make no difference. Teachers said they spent an average of more than 48 minutes a week on reporting their own performance, with over half (54%) saying it was the least valuable use of their time. Some (79%) complained of too much bureaucracy, target-setting and inspection. Christine Blower, of the NUT, said the survey showed that "a clear majority of teachers are far more concerned about workload than any apparent benefits of performance-related pay. "According to this survey, only 2% said that it would make them significantly more likely to want to work in a school where pay was more explicitly linked to overall performance. "Far more said it would make them less likely. Even under the proposal of PRP being offered in return for an imagined reduction in bureaucratic workload, only 13% said that it would make them significantly more interested in working in a school with PRP. "Yet in many schools the introduction of PRP will lead to a much greater bureaucratic workload as head teachers introduce new forms and evidence gathering. "Teachers work in a collaborative fashion. Young people's success depends on the interplay between the work of all their teachers. "There is also every scope in linking pay to performance for the creation of unfairness." Policy Exchange said the poll also suggested that most teachers (60%) were against pay being driven by years of experience in the profession, preferring measures such as students' progress (66%) and teaching quality (89%). A third of those polled said they were dissatisfied at having to work with lower-performing colleagues, while more than half (52%) said performance pay would make it easier to dismiss poor teachers. Mr Simons said: "Policymakers should make huge efforts to talk to teachers up and down the country, even if that means bypassing their union leaders, and answer any questions they might have about the new system." She becomes the sixth Labour MP to declare that they want to succeed Harriet Harman in post. Ms Ali told 5 live's Pienaar's Politics: "We should be radical and imaginative. What have we got to lose?" "I'm going to start with going after UKIP voters who left Labour. We have to talk to people who rejected us." Asked how that would work with voters who have problems with multi-culturalism, she said: "I grew up in a working-class community. Some of my neighbours were not very friendly. "I'm used to rejection so I think I have something to offer... I know what it feels like to be an outsider trying to get in... I think a lot of our voters feel like that - that they just couldn't get through to us." Asked who she would back for leader, Ms Ali says: "I'm going to meet every single one of them. I will reserve my right to use my nomination powers to help someone struggling in the race get what they need to stand." She says Keith Vaz and Tristram Hunt are two MPs who have said they would back her bid. The other declared candidates for deputy leader are Stella Creasy, Tom Watson, Ben Bradshaw, Angela Eagle and Caroline Flint. The candidates for Labour leader are Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Mary Creagh and Liz Kendall. Earlier on Sunday former deputy Labour leader Lord Prescott told the Sunday Mirror he would be backing Andy Burnham for leader. And Harriet Harman told the Andrew Marr Show that the leadership contests must not just be about who the best leader was, but what direction the party should take. She said it would be "quite wrong" for Labour to "minimise the scale of our defeat", especially given that it came despite a "lack of love for the Tories". Ms Harman also said she thought that either the leader or deputy leader positions must be filled by a woman, saying she had never been a fan of all-male leadership teams. She also said that hundreds of thousands of people who voted Labour "but would never join the party" would be able to vote in the leader and deputy leader elections - something welcomed on the same programme by former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton. Mr Hilton, who added that he had been a long-time fan of Ms Harman's work on gender equality, said it was important to get more people involved in politics. Spokesman Sameh Ashour said the decision was taken because of concerns the polls would not be free and fair, AFP news agency reported. It comes days after President Mohammed Morsi announced the timing of the elections, to be held over four dates. Judges dissolved the previous assembly, saying polls were unconstitutional. The first round of voting in Cairo and four other provinces is due to be held on 22 April. In the last elections, in January 2012, Islamist parties won an overwhelming majority, with the Freedom and Justice Party of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement taking the biggest share. The lower house was dissolved in June after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that one of the laws under which the elections were fought was not legitimate. By Yolande KnellBBC News The National Salvation Front (NSF) is a coalition of mainly liberals and leftist parties. Its decision not to join the parliamentary election means the contest will be largely fought between Islamist groups - the Muslim Brotherhood of President Mohammed Morsi and more conservative parties like the Salafist Nur. The Front's intention is to try to delegitimise the vote. It also draws attention to the polarisation of Egyptian politics since the ouster of President Mubarak two years ago. This announcement does not come as a great surprise. Two days ago Mohamed ElBaradei, coordinator of the NSF, told the BBC that his party would "not participate in a sham poll". The umbrella group has been demanding changes to the elections law as well as the formation of a national unity government and amendments to the new constitution. Egypt is sharply divided between Islamists and their liberal and secular opponents and a boycott of the polls threatens to deepen the split, say correspondents. Mr Morsi announced new polls last weekend. NSF leader Mohamed ElBaradei swiftly called for a boycott, branding fresh elections an "act of deception". Mr Ashour said the NSF would not contest the polls under an election law which critics said favours Islamists. "There can be no elections without a law that guarantees the fairness of the election process and a government that can implement such a law and be trusted by the people," he said in a televised news conference. He said the NSF had unanimously decided to endorse Mr ElBaradei's call. Mr Ashour said the alliance would also stay away from a meeting to promote national dialogue called by President Morsi, describing it as an insult to protesters killed in recent clashes. More than 70 people were killed in violence between security forces and protesters following the second anniversary of the revolution which forced Hosni Mubarak from power.

A Rugby Football League statement said the alleged breaches concern "contractual arrangements made with Salford players in 2014 and 2015". No date has been set for a hearing. If Salford are found to have exceeded the £1.825m wage ceiling in the last two years and are docked 20 points, it would wreck their season when it has started with some promising displays. However Wigan, the last club to be found in breach of the salary cap in 2007, were only docked four points. The Red Devils, coached by Ian Watson, lie sixth in the table after collecting four points from their opening five games. Their points tally would have been higher had it not been for last-minute defeats by Wigan and Warrington. The RFL's announcement comes six weeks after Bradford chairman Marc Green raised questions over Salford's use of the cap over the last two years and in particular their signing of Tony Puletua from St Helens in 2014. Green claimed he was prevented from raising his concerns at a RFL Council meeting in December and called on the governing body to fully investigate the transfer of Puletua. Salford have yet to comment on Thursday's news although owner Marwan Koukash tweeted: "I do not know what all this fuss is about. Calm down!" In January Koukash said his club had been fully co-operating with the RFL investigators since early October.

Salford could be docked as many as 20 points after being charged with salary cap breaches.

Matthew made landfall at around 11:00 GMT, bringing flooding, destruction and blackouts. In the southern city of Les Cayes, Deputy Mayor Marie Claudette Regis Delerme called the scenes "catastrophic". Powerful hurricane slams into Haiti In pictures: Hurricane Matthew Dr Robert Leger, 64, is a general surgeon whose clinic is on Rue Nicolas Geffrard, one of the main streets in Les Cayes. He was born in Haiti, and while he moved away to study he has been back for 35 years now. He spoke to the BBC by telephone, after first changing into dry clothes. "We [himself and his wife Rosa] just arrived at home, my residence, to see how things are. Many houses have been affected, a lot of floodwater on the streets - and it's still raining. The water on the streets, it can be two or three feet." Dr Leger and his wife were walking home from his clinic during the deluge when they were spotted by one of his patients, who gave them a lift in his pick-up truck. However, the vehicle couldn't reach their home through the waterlogged roads, so they had to walk the last stretch. He said: "I am really worried. Haiti has already had a lot of economic problems - and now Mother Nature has added more troubles. This last month, the production of rice and beans had increased, and now agriculture will be badly affected." Asked about the hurricane's impact, Dr Leger said: "Many, many roofs are completely off. Many trees down, and destroyed walls. Roads are blocked. There is damage. People are staying indoors - the wind has started again. Nothing is normal now, and it's not likely to be until tomorrow." Dr Leger is a leading member of the local Rotary Club, and says he will assist with relief work when the hurricane has moved on, as he did after the earthquake in January 2010. "I have been spared, thanks to God, so I will offer my services as a surgeon." While Haiti's southern peninsula has been worst hit, the hurricane's immense power saw people 40 miles from its centre placed under a severe weather warning. Storm-force winds were scouring regions 185 miles away, near the capital Port-au-Prince. The BBC spoke to Jacqui Labrom, a Port-au-Prince resident and chief executive of Voyages Lumiere Haiti, a tour company offering excursions all over the country. She said the capital had seen the storm's violence, but she feared most for those on the south-west coast around the city of Jeremie. "Since yesterday people have been battening down the hatches," she said. "They have been saying that in certain places [in Haiti] the sea is up by about three metres. A lot of people live near the sea to do fishing because it's often the cheapest area." Ms Labrom, who has lived in Haiti for 18 years, said she would not leave her house until the storm passed, and had stocked up on food for several days. Elsewhere in the capital, American journalist Jacqueline Charles was also riding out the storm. She reiterated fears for impoverished locals whose homes are near the sea. "There are a number of streets that are starting to flood," she said after the hurricane made landfall. "I can tell you that around the country, especially in the south, they have been battered. We're hearing reports over local Haitian radio - and I myself have spoken to some relief workers - that there are coastal communities that are under water. "One local reporter who was looking at some photographs said that in Les Cayes there are people walking in water that is shoulder-high. Houses have lost their rooftops; houses have been damaged and the winds are very powerful."

Haiti has been battered by 145mph (230km/h) winds and ferocious storms, brought by the most powerful Caribbean hurricane in nearly a decade.

Half of the stand at Radcliffe Borough was destroyed, including the press room and PA box, in Sunday evening's blaze. Club chairman Paul Hilton has appealed to the local community to attend the Lancashire Cup game against West Didsbury and Chorlton later. Greater Manchester Fire Service said the cause of the fire is not yet known. Mr Hilton said the club, which is in the first division of the Northern Premier League, had been "overwhelmed" by messages of support, offers of help and even financial donations. He added: "It's a massive blow but we're hoping the community rallies round the club and helps us out. "It would mean the world to us if our fans, the local community, which we work so passionately to support, and supporters of any football team come and watch a game of football."

The instrument, known as the Large Underground Xenon, or Lux, detector, is a mile underground in a former mine in South Dakota, USA. It searches for tiny particles which would improve scientists' understanding of dark matter. Dark matter is the invisible material thought to make up 95% of the universe. Dark matter has yet to be detected directly by scientists and has so far been observed only by its effects on gravity, which can be seen in the rotation of galaxies and the way light bends as it travels through space. The upgrade increases the chances of the detector identifying sub-atomic particles called Wimps - weakly interacting massive particles - which scientists believe are the main component of dark matter. A team of physicists, including scientists at Edinburgh University, have made Lux's ability to identify the lightest form of Wimps about 20 times more sensitive. This has allowed them to study data collected during Lux's initial run in 2013 which previously had to be ignored. Wimps are difficult to spot because they collide with normal matter only rarely, and their faint signals are drowned out by cosmic radiation from space. Professor Alex Murphy, of Edinburgh University's school of physics and astronomy, said: "Since Lux's first run, we have developed several new calibration techniques and methods of analysis. We are now able to look for tell-tale signs of Wimps in data we previously had to ignore, increasing our chances of detecting dark matter." Lux is housed deep underground where few cosmic rays can penetrate, and consists of a tank of liquid xenon surrounded by sensitive light detectors. It is designed to spot collisions between Wimps and xenon atoms inside the detector. Following a collision, the xenon atom emits a tiny flash of light, which is spotted by Lux's light sensors. The upgrade was supported by the US Department for Energy and the National Science Foundation. The Lux scientific collaborative involves 19 institutions in Europe and the US. Under the wide-ranging telecoms reforms, the cost of making a call or downloading internet data in another EU country will be the same as at home. The change is due to take effect from 15 December next year. It still requires approval from EU governments. Some consumers have faced bills for thousands of pounds after falling foul of current high roaming charges. In recent years the EU has legislated to lower the costs, so telecoms operators have been forced to cap their fees. A European Commission survey in February suggested that 94% of Europeans limit their use of the web when travelling in Europe because of the cost of mobile roaming. The package was adopted by 534 votes to 25. Last year the cap for internet browsing was lowered to 45 cents (39 pence) per MB, from 70 euro cents (60 pence) per MB in 2012. The EU Commissioner for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, has said "consumers are fed up with being ripped off". The new rules come at a time when users are consuming ever more data on mobiles and tablet devices. As 4G networks offer even faster download speeds, data consumption is expected to rise exponentially. North Wales Police is coordinating the search in Snowdonia with the Coastguard and other agencies. UK Coastguard duty commander Mark Rodaway said seven mountain rescue teams and a dog unit were involved in the search with visibility "improving". The privately-owned helicopter vanished while over Caernarfon Bay en route to Dublin from Luton. Radar contact with the red Twin Squirrel helicopter was lost on Wednesday afternoon and initial searches followed the intended flight plan of the aircraft over the Irish Sea. Supt Gareth Evans of North Wales Police said "All available police, mountain rescue and other civilian resources are currently being utilised and we are grateful for the assistance and cooperation of the public as well as our MRT volunteers who are searching very difficult and challenging terrain." Supt Evans said family members of those on board had been contacted by police, but their names have not been released. Mountain rescue teams and an ambulance are currently at site next to Trawsfynydd lake in Gwynedd and police have closed a road, but it has not been confirmed if this is related to the search. Mr Rodaway said: "These aircraft normally carry beacons that we can track by satellite - they're activated by salt water - we've not seen any of that and also mobile phone data has aided our inquiries in shifting inland." Helicopter searches between north Wales and the shore of Dublin on Wednesday were scuppered by low lying cloud, which reduced visibility. However, Mr Rodaway told the Jason Mohammad Programme at 10:50 BST "things have improved", after visibility had been as low as just 10ft (3m) in places. "We are now able to commit more aircraft into this live search operation," he added. A Mayday broadcast has been issued to all vessels passing through the Irish Sea to contact the Coastguard if they see anything. The Eurocopter AS55 Ecureuil 2 (Twin Squirrel), made by Airbus, has a cruising speed of 140mph (225km/h) and a range of nearly 440 miles (700km). Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning The new version, to be approved by the lower house, removes the requirement to hold a census before the next election. The opposition had said this was a way for President Joseph Kabila to extend his time in office rather than stand down next year as planned. Hundreds of students took to the streets to celebrate the news. Human rights groups say that dozens of people have been killed during the protests. The government puts the figure at 12 - a policeman shot by a sniper and 11 looters killed by security guards. "We have listened to the street. That is why the vote today is a historic vote," Senate President Leon Kenga Wa Dondo said after the amendment was passed. The BBC's Maud Jullien in the capital, Kinshasa, says it is uncommon for the senate to vote against the government in this way - the last time was 2010. At the scene: Maud Jullien, BBC Africa, Kinshasa As soon as the senate pronounced the vote I got a phone call from a student at the University of Kinshasa who had spent four days protesting. I could barely hear him - he was shouting over the phone and told me there were hundreds of students celebrating with him on the street. "We won," he told me. The senate's vote reflected the riots that rocked many of the country's cities, especially the capital, where dozens are thought to have been killed when the police fired live bullets at protesters. During the debate, senators said the bill, as it had been passed by the lower house of parliament, risked destabilising the country. The senators' vote for an amendment of the controversial article is a victory for many of the protesters but it is not over yet - the bill still has to return to the House of Representatives before it can become a law. The opposition says it would take about three years to hold a census in DR Congo, a country two-thirds of the size of western Europe, which has very little infrastructure and is home to numerous armed groups in the east. The government has argued that the census is vital to ensure polls are free and fair - the country has never had a reliable census since independence from Belgium in 1960. Under the senate's amendment, the elections could be held in 2016 as planned, before a census is conducted. Mr Kabila first took power in 2001 following the assassination of his father Laurent, who was president at the time, and is constitutionally barred from running for another term. The House of Representatives approved the plan for a census on Saturday, in a vote boycotted by opposition MPs. The opposition says this amounts to a "constitutional coup" by Mr Kabila. Police formed a cordon around the team bus as it left Chaves' stadium following Tuesday's 1-0 loss. On their return to the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon, armed police helped the players drive away safely, keeping supporters at a distance. Sporting are fourth in the top flight, eight points behind leaders Benfica. Their European ambitions ended in December when they finished bottom of their Champions League group. Their last league title came in 2002, although they won the Portuguese Cup in 2015. Their Sporting team features several members of Portugal's Euro 2016 winning squad and they brought in head coach Jorge Jesus from rivals Benfica in June 2015. "Throwing in the towel is not an option," said club president on Bruno de Carvalho on Facebook. "I will, together with Jorge Jesus, make sure the team is more competitive. The squad will be slimmed down during the transfer window to make it stronger." Kerstin Vockert, 56, director of Ark Aid Veterinary Centre, in Bournemouth, admitted failing to meet their welfare needs. RSPCA inspectors found cocker spaniel Millie and shih tzu Happy with matted fur "covered in urine and faeces". The animal charity said Vockert told Bournemouth magistrates she had difficulty grooming her pets. Inspectors visited Vockert's home in Sopley, Hampshire, last September and found the dogs. When they returned the next day, Vockert had put Millie down. Happy, who had to have an eye removed and is blind in his other eye, has since been rehomed. Inspector Patrick Bailey said: "I have dealt with numerous matted dogs in my career with the RSPCA but I have never seen any as horrifically matted as Millie was. "Both dogs had terribly matted fur which was covered in urine and faeces and Happy had to be completely shaved." He said both dogs would have been in a "huge amount of discomfort". The RSPCA said Vockert had previously been given advice on the importance of grooming, in 2012. Vockert admitted failing to meet the dogs' needs between 17 June and 17 September 2014. She was also ordered to pay £300 costs and a £62 victim surcharge. The 56-year-old, from Stoke-on-Trent, and former wife Yvonne, 54, married in 1988 and had four children before splitting more than two years ago. Judge Mark Rogers, sitting at a family court in Nottingham, also said the pair should share several properties. Mr Taylor's wealth is said to be in the region of £3.4m, the court heard. In a written ruling, Judge Rogers described the 16-times world champion as "charming and engaging", noting the couple "started out with nothing" and the demands of professional life on Mr Taylor. "His public persona is larger than life with a swagger. In reality he is a thoughtful realistic man," he said. "He spoke convincingly of the demands of the work he does, the relentless travel on the tour, the training, the tiredness and the draining effect of being away from home." The Spanish and European champions were dominant, even without the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo. Marco Asensio, who also scored in the 3-1 first-leg win, gave them an early lead with an excellent 25-yard strike. And Karim Benzema flicked up Marcelo's cross and turned defender Samuel Umtiti to fire home a second with Barcelona rarely looking like coming back. Real eased off in the second half, with the cup practically wrapped up, and Barca improved slightly as a result, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez hitting the woodwork. In less than two years in charge, Zinedine Zidane has led Real to two Champions Leagues, and the 2016-17 La Liga title. And on this performance, they are going to be hard to beat again. The big story before the game was Ronaldo claiming he was persecuted after being banned for five games - for pushing the referee - after being sent off in the first leg. Watching from the stands, he was not missed on the pitch, with Zidane also able to leave Isco and Gareth Bale on the bench with Sunday's La Liga opener against Valencia in mind. But in 21-year-old attacking midfielder Asensio, they have one of Europe's most talented youngsters, and four minutes in, he fired home an excellent shot that left Marc-Andre ter Stegen rooted to the spot. Benzema added a second with a great two-touch goal, and Real could slow things down after the break, knowing Barcelona did not look capable of scoring four unanswered goals. Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde will be worried by what he has seen in his two competitive games in charge, having replaced Luis Enrique in the summer. Having lost Neymar to Paris St-Germain for £200m in the summer, and with their moves for Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele unsuccessful so far, they lacked the quality of Barca teams of the past. Thursday's expected £36m signing of 29-year-old Guangzhou Evergrande midfielder Paulinho will do little to appease unhappy fans. With captain Andres Iniesta - now 33 - injured, Messi and Suarez both 30, and Suarez appearing to carry an injury for the final 10 minutes at the Bernabeu, Valverde has some serious problems to address just weeks into the job. They were slightly better after the break - arguably because Real let them be - and Messi hit the bar after gliding past several defenders, with Suarez smashing the post with a header after Messi's shot was parried. Barca get their league campaign under way on Sunday at home to Real Betis. Real Madrid: Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Modric, Kovacic (Casemiro 62), Kroos (Ceballos 80), Vazquez, Benzema, Asensio (Theo Hernandez 75). Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Pique (Semedo 50), Mascherano, Umtiti, Roberto, Alba (Digne 78), Gomes (Deulofeu 72), Busquets, Rakitic, Messi, Luis Suarez. Tony Watt scored his first league goal for Rovers with a smart turn and finish from Shane Duffy's header. The hosts doubled their lead when Danny Graham slotted in from keeper Jason Steele's ball forward after City's Clayton Donaldson was denied a penalty. Birmingham improved in the second half, but Jonathan Grounds' drive against the woodwork was as close as they came. The win was Blackburn's fourth consecutive home league win - the first time they have managed that for six years. Defeat means Birmingham, who have slipped further away from the top six, have now won just once in the last 10 on the road, and have a solitary away victory in 2016. Blackburn manager Paul Lambert: "Watt's goal was a brilliant bit of skill. He's a strong lad, I think he's just got to get fitter, for himself as well. "He does things that are unexpected and gets people off their backsides and his goal was very good. "I think Danny Graham has been fantastic, him and Jordi (Gomez). The biggest compliment I can give those two, coming from a Premier League club, is they've fitted in brilliantly, and are playing ever so well." Media playback is not supported on this device Birmingham manager Gary Rowett: "The most decisive 10 seconds of the match, if not the season in some ways. "I'm going to have to temper my words very carefully, just because we're managers and we live and die by the officials' decisions sometimes. "I just asked the referee the question: why on earth would he go down? He's about to score. There's no benefit to him going down whatsoever, and I think the referee felt as though he went down easily." Match ends, Blackburn Rovers 2, Birmingham City 0.

The grant scheme is linked to a police investigation into allegations of fraud. The Welsh government said funding for Pembrokeshire council's Commercial Property Grant Scheme has been put on hold temporarily during a review by the council. The council declined to comment before the matter is discussed by its cabinet. According to the council's website, the funding is part of an EU-backed project to "revitalise and restore the rich heritage" of Pembroke and Pembroke Dock. A Welsh government spokesperson said: "As a precautionary measure, WEFO (the Wales European Funding Office) has temporarily suspended EU funds payments to Pembrokeshire council in respect of its Commercial Property Grant Scheme while the council's review of eligibility of expenditure is under way." The scheme paid for work on a three-storey former bank in Pembroke Dock, which is the subject of a Dyfed-Powys Police investigation. A grant of £71,333.50 was paid for work on ground floor of the building at 10 Meyrick Street. The council says that "irregularities relating to the tender" have been formally referred to the police. Responding to the decision on funding on Friday, the council said: "This matter is due to be discussed by cabinet on Monday. There is no further comment." Labour councillor Paul Miller said: "Pembrokeshire council has failed spectacularly to manage the Commercial Property Grant Scheme in Pembroke Dock. "When concerns were raised they steadfastly refused to accept even the possibility there could be a problem and attacked those councillors demanding answers." Dyfed-Powys Police has confirmed it is investigating an allegation of fraud made by the council. The owner of 10 Meyrick Street, a Dorset-based property developer called Cathal McCosker, said it would be inappropriate for him to comment.

The American, unbeaten in 22 fights, has been out of the ring for more than a year because of an ankle injury. Bristol's Haskins, 32, turned down a request for the fighters to meet in a catch-weight contest. "It's a strange one to process," Haskins' manager Jamie Sanigar told Boxing News. "Lee was disappointed when I told him what was happening. I told him the fight was off but then in the next sentence I'm telling him he's a world champion." Media playback is not supported on this device The fight was last month added to the undercard of the WBC middleweight title contest between Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez. It is yet to be decided if Haskins, who claimed the interim title earlier in the year with victory over Japan's Ryosuke Iwasa, will keep his full purse. The claim was made after a BBC-commissioned survey found two-thirds of respondents either had not heard of, or knew nothing about the powerhouse. The Northern Powerhouse policy attempts to redress the north/south divide and attract investment to the north. Some businesses said the plan is already helping win export contracts. Professor Jon Tonge, from Liverpool University, said: "It is a concept yet to catch fire. I wonder if it will head the same way as the Big Society. Who remembers that? "The problem is it is only a concept. It is also offset by huge cuts to the councils in the north. "Even those who have heard of it are cynical. Those who haven't heard of it think at most it's the idea of a concept - where is the clear plan?" 44% Never heard of it 20% Heard of but know nothing about it 30% Heard of and know a little about it 6% Heard of and know a lot about it The ComRes survey for the BBC suggested 44% had never heard of the policy while 20% had heard of it but know nothing about it. In Sheffield, Paul Firth, regional managing partner of Irwin Mitchell solicitor said he was "quite surprised" at the low awareness of the powerhouse. He said: "The government clearly has a great deal to do to improve the way it has communicated the initiative and also the benefits that are associated with it." A report the firm published earlier this year highlighted issues "particularly in relation to whether George Osborne's plans will actually work". Mr Firth said tackling the north/south divide "isn't going to be easy". He added: "The current proposals will improve output and job creation in the north, but not at the same rate as in London. "We believe that expansion in London is a positive thing, but we don't want it to be at the expense of other cities in the UK." 82% want politicians in the North to control transport and health 70% do not believe it is fair that London should get more money than the North for arts, science and transport 50% are confident the Northern Powerhouse will boost the economy in the North 49% don't believe the Northern Powerhouse will help rebalance the North-South economic divide Matthew Kimpton-Smith, chief executive of Cygnet Group in Northwich which assembles and sells machinery for carbon fibre manufacture, said the Northern Powerhouse brand is "really helping" the firm sell itself to export clients, with 30% of trade with China. "For us as an exporter and a manufacturer, pulling together the best of the north west and the north east and packaging it up as a whole really helps our cause when we sell ourselves in China, in the Middle East," he said. He described Cheshire as the "gateway" to the powerhouse and potentially "it can be at the heart of it". But Southport Lib Dem MP John Pugh said the branding is "far stronger than the delivery." Mr Pugh said there had to be a fair funding system. Frank McKenna, a Labour councillor on West Lancashire district council said: "For many years now it's a fact London and the south east has overheated and Liverpool and the north has been left out." He said he was "surprised" 56% knew about it because the "discussion and debate" is so focussed on politicians. He said skills, training, education, transport and infrastructure were among the key issues to be addressed. ComRes interviewed 1,003 adults in the North of England by telephone in October 2015. Data was weighted to be representative of all adults aged 18+ by age, gender, region and social grade. Some 500 MPs and activists have demanded an end to impunity. It comes after several female politicians told French media that Denis Baupin had groped or sent explicit messages to them. Mr Baupin denies the allegations and has said he will sue the publications involved. Sexual harassment case leaves bitter taste The Paris prosecutor's office has said it is opening a preliminary investigation into the claims. The demand, published in the newspaper Liberation under the front page headline "Levons l'omerta" - "end the silence" - says women in French politics continue to share information about men to avoid because the men are never held accountable for their sexually aggressive behaviour. This, say the signatories, must now change and those who commit abuses must be accused publicly. The newspaper says a similar letter written last year (in French) by female political journalists about their experiences at the hands of predatory males generated lots of debate, but very little action. It says the same was true of the scandal over the sexual activities of former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was acquitted last year of "aggravated pimping" charges. An online petition linked to the latest demand has gained thousands of signatures and tweets on the topic have spread under the hashtag #levonslomerta. The campaign has seen new claims of abuse emerge on social media, including one by a former Minister for Women who applauded the MPs who had made claims about Mr Baupin's behaviour and said she was ashamed that she had not until now spoken out about an attack on her in 1979. Meanwhile, current MP Aurore Berge tweeted that the "Affaire Baupin" had not yet changed the approach of one male MP. She described how on Monday evening she was greeted with the comment "When I see you, I want to do a Baupin to you" as well as a vulgar pun on her name referring to a shepherd's crook. "It's gross, it's pathetic. He was as old as my father," she said. But she also described how difficult it is to know how to react to such comments. "You are staggered. Blocked. Should you slap him? Everyone would look at you. You don't laugh? Clearly you were not meant for a life in politics. And anyway, wasn't it funny?" she said. "You look at yourself. You say to yourself that you shouldn't have worn that blouse. Instinctively, you hide yourself and cover up as if you were the guilty one. And a reflex makes you laugh. Because after all we are French and so we have to laugh about such things." Other dismissive reactions to the Baupin scandal have also been decried. Well-known feminist and left-wing activist Caroline de Haas called right-wing MP Pierre Lellouche a "pathetic jerk" after Mr Lellouche reacted to the Baupin allegations by saying he would not comment on "chicks and their affairs". And the four women who have accused Mr Baupin of making unwanted advances have continued to speak about their alleged experiences. Elen Debost, a regional secretary for the Green Party (Europe Ecologie Les Verts or EELV in French) of which Mr Baupin was previously a member, told French TV that she believed Mr Baupin had carried out the alleged acts as "a way of spitting in our faces". She also expressed scepticism about the reaction of Green Party head Francois de Rugy, who told French radio he was "stunned" by the affair. "The code of silence and cover ups between friends, he knew," she wrote. Mr Baupin's wife, Housing Minister Emmanuelle Cosse, said she was taking the allegations against her husband seriously. "There has to be an investigation," she wrote. Scotland international Robertson, 20, has joined for a fee of £2.85m, while Maguire, 21, has signed for the Premier League side in a move worth £2.5m. Robertson missed only two Dundee United matches last season as they finished fourth in the Scottish Premiership. Maguire, meanwhile, played 166 games for Sheffield United. He has been named in the PFA's League One Team of the Year for the past three seasons and was part of the Blades side who lost 5-3 to Hull in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley in April. Robertson only became a professional footballer last year after joining Dundee United from Scottish League Two amateur side Queen's Park. His performances while at Tannadice led to him being voted PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year. As one left-back moved from Tannadice to Hull, another moved in the opposite direction as 21-year-old Conor Townsend joined the club on a season-long loan. Hull have been busy in the transfer market this summer, with manager Steve Bruce keen to get business done early ahead of their Europa League third qualifying round first leg against AS Trencin in Slovakia on Thursday. The arrival of Robertson and Maguire at the FA Cup runners-up follows deals for Tom Ince,Jake Livermore and Robert Snodgrass. The work is expected to begin at about 05:00 GMT and continue for several hours, with "acoustic screening" provided to minimise noise. Network Rail said it would be safer to work while nothing is running below. Stratton Green bridge on Swindon Road is being upgraded as part of a major rail electrification programme between London and Cardiff. It was shut in November and will remain closed until Spring while the bridge is raised to make room for the new electrification equipment. Across the UK, some 20,000 rail workers will spend Christmas Day at work. The Respect Party leader, who has threatened a legal challenge over his general election defeat, declared his bid on Twitter. Mr Galloway posted a picture of himself sitting on an unmade bed with his young son and the slogan "Dad, you've got to do this. I've got your back!". "I'm standing for Mayor of London 2016," he added. He told BBC London 94.9 he would merge the Met Police and the City of London Police if he became mayor. On 7 May, Mr Galloway lost the Bradford West Commons seat he took from Labour, his former party, in a 2012 by-election. The seat was won by Labour's Naz Shah by a majority of more than 11,000 following a bitter campaign. Afterwards he said he would seek to have the result set aside over claims of candidates making false statements. Mr Galloway was reported to police for allegedly breaking election law. He is said to have retweeted his party's own exit poll before voting ended. A complaint against him over his use of parliamentary funds while an MP has also been referred to the police. The City Hall election will take place in May 2016 when Boris Johnson, who returned to the Commons at the general election, steps down after two terms. Eight Labour politicians are set to fight to be their party's candidate, including Diane Abbott, MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, Sadiq Khan, MP for Tooting, David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, Gareth Thomas, MP for Harrow West, and Tessa Jowell, former MP for Dulwich and West Norwood. A shortlist will be drawn up next month by a party committee and the Labour candidate will be chosen in September. The Conservatives have not yet revealed when they plan to run their selection process although deputy mayor Stephen Greenhalgh, London Assembly member Andrew Boff and businessman Ivan Massow have so far said they are running.

Avana Bakeries has sold its food processing site in Rogerstone to Food Utopia, which it said would aim to keep the current operation going. In February the company said 650 jobs were at risk after it lost a multi-million pound cake contract with Marks and Spencer. There are currently 552 people still employed at the Newport site. A spokesman for Avana said: "Avana Bakeries is pleased to announce the sale of its food processing site in Newport. "It is proposed to operate the business under a new company, Food Utopia Ltd, which will aim to secure continuing operations. "There will be a transition period as existing customer contracts transfer to the new company." He said the new company was not part of the 2 Sisters Group which owns Avana but had been set up by two former 2 Sisters executives. Any decision on jobs would be the responsibility of the new owners, he added. 2 Sisters had launched a consultation period with staff following the news earlier this year that the company had lost the Marks and Spencer deal, which made up 85% of the bakery's products. First up are Cavan, who have captain Killian Clarke back from injury in one of four changes to the team for the home Round 2B clash against Tipperary. Monaghan travel to Wexford to take on former boss Seamus McEnaney in Round 2B, with Donegal under pressure to grab a Round 3A win against Meath in Navan. Expert defender James Morgan returns for Armagh, who are away to Westmeath. Morgan missed the first round qualifier win over Fermanagh two weeks ago with a calf injury but is fit again for the Round 3B tie as Kieran McGeeney attempts to win back-to-back championship games for the first time in his three-year reign. In the aftermath of the Fermanagh victory, Armagh captain Rory Grugan said the team wants to atone for last month's tame Ulster championship exit against Down. "I think we've a whole lot more to do to make up for that," Grugan said. "It's nice to get a win and get into the next round, but as far as we're concerned we've a whole lot more to do to make up for that one. "We are carrying a slightly bigger squad this year, and that's improved the competition within the squad. "To win (against Fermanagh) without players of the calibre of James (Morgan) and Stefan (Campbell) is nice because boys are pushing so hard, from getting into the 26 to then getting into the 15. "That's healthy when you can bring on the likes of Stefan to see a game out, it's brilliant to have that option." Substitutes Campbell and Ethan Rafferty kicked three points between them against Fermanagh but again must be content with a place on the bench for the Round 2B qualifiers. Caoimhin O'Reilly makes his first championship start for Cavan, with captain Clarke, Niall Murray and Tomas Corr the other changes from the win over Offaly two weeks ago. Donegal make two changes for their trip to Meath, Hugh McFadden and Jamie Brennan coming in for Micheal Carroll and Martin O'Reilly.

Attorney General Mohamed Apandi Ali said the women - from Indonesia and Vietnam - would be formally charged and could face death if convicted. The women allegedly smeared a deadly chemical over Kim Jong-nam's face at a Malaysia airport earlier this month. They have said they thought they were taking part in a TV prank. "They will be charged in court under Section 302 of the penal code," the attorney general said, which is a murder charge with a mandatory death sentence if found guilty. He said no decision had yet been taken on whether to charge a North Korean man, Ri Jong Chol, who is also being held over the killing. That "depends on the outcome of the police investigation, which is still ongoing", Mr Apandi was quoted as saying by AFP news agency. The two women - Doan Thi Huong from Vietnam and Siti Aisyah from Indonesia - are among some 10 suspects identified by Malaysia as being involved in the killing. The other suspects include a senior official at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur and a staff member of the state airline. South Korea believes at least four suspects are North Korean spies. A high-level delegation from North Korea - led by the former ambassador to the UN - arrived in the Malaysian capital on Tuesday. They said they were seeking the retrieval of the body and the release of Ri Jong Chol, as well as the "development of friendly relationships" between North Korea and Malaysia. North Korea has not confirmed that the person killed on 13 February at Kuala Lumpur airport was Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of leader Kim Jong-un, saying only he was a North Korean travelling on a diplomatic passport. Kim Jong-nam, 42, was at a check-in desk for a flight to Macau, where he lives, when he was accosted. He was smeared with a very high amount of the toxic nerve agent VX and died in pain within 15-20 minutes, Malaysia's health minister said on Sunday. Little is known for definite about Doan Thi Huong and Siti Aisyah except that they had left their homes in different parts of Asia and were trying to make a living in Malaysia. Malaysian police officials described Ms Huong, a 28-year-old from Vietnam, as an "entertainment outlet employee" while Ms Siti, 25 from Indonesia, was working in a hotel massage parlour. It is clear they lived precarious existences, reports the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes who has been researching the story. Ms Huong's Facebook page, in which she posted under the name Ruby Ruby, showed her posing in a number of selfies and glamour shots. There are rumours she once auditioned for Vietnam's version of Pop Idol. Her family said she left her home village in north Vietnam at 17 to study in the capital Hanoi, and had rarely returned home since. They said they were surprised to learn she was in Malaysia. Her stepmother told BBC Vietnamese that the family were fed up with all the attention they had received but were grateful for the support of their neighbours. "They are sympathetic because they don't understand how a daughter of a family with high moral values like us could become like that," Nguyen Thi Vy, 54, said. Siti Aisyah was arrested for the killing along with her 26-year-old Malaysian boyfriend, who was later released on bail. She told the Indonesian embassy officials that she thought she was taking part in a reality TV show, and had been paid 400 Malaysian ringgit ($90; £72) to smear what she thought was baby oil on to Mr Kim's face. Ms Siti was out partying with her friends the night before the killing. A friend, who spoke anonymously, said they had been celebrating her birthday, which had been the day before. Film footage purportedly from the evening shows her talking with friends about becoming an internet star. Ri Jong Chol, 47, is a North Korean who has lived in Malaysia for the last three years. He is in Malaysian detention. The Malaysian boyfriend of Siti Aisyah, Muhammad Farid Jalaluddin, was arrested but police said he would be released on bail. Hyon Kwang Song, 44, second secretary at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur is being sought by police. He is believed to be in the embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Kim Uk Il, 37, is a staff member of North Korea's state airline Air Koryo, and is also believed to still be in Malaysia. Ri Ju U, 30, a North Korean also known as "James", has been identified by the women as the man who recruited them. Ri Ji Hyon, 33, a North Korean, is believed to have fled to Pyongyang. Hong Song Hac, 34, a North Korean, is believed to have fled to Pyongyang. O Jong Gil, 55, a North Korean, is believed to have fled to Pyongyang. Ri Jae Nam, 57, a North Korean, is believed to have fled to Pyongyang. He said it was "difficult" to see how it would be funded after a green paper was published on the BBC's future. But Conservative MP Glyn Davies insisted UK ministers were committed to Welsh language TV and radio. It comes as BBC Wales' director Rhodri Talfan Davies told the National Eisteddfod how Welsh broadcasting has "never mattered more". In July, the UK government launched its consultation paper on the future of the BBC with a "root-and-branch" review of the corporation as it heads towards charter renewal in 2016. Since then, concern has been raised about how Welsh language broadcasters would be funded. Speaking on BBC Radio Cymru's Rhaglen Dylan Jones on Monday, the first minister said there needed to be an "element of certainty" that the future of TV channel S4C and and BBC Radio Cymru was secure. "I don't think that they [the UK government] care at all about Welsh-medium broadcasting," he said. "They haven't considered S4C at all when deciding that the BBC should fund the Welsh language channel. "It's difficult at the moment [to tell] how Welsh language broadcasting will be funded in the future." S4C currently receives the bulk of its money - £76.3m in 2013-2014 - from the BBC Trust, with £7m from the UK government plus some commercial income. A spokesman for the Department for Culture Media and Sport said: "The UK government is committed to the provision of minority language broadcasting, including S4C. "We continue to provide £7m per year in funding to S4C, in addition to the £76m of licence fee funding set out for the channel until April 2017. "All future decisions on licence fee funding, along with the scale and scope of the BBC, are for Charter Review which will be a thorough and open process, welcoming everyone's views." Glyn Davies, Conservative MP for Montgomeryshire, said there was "no evidence or credibility" for the first minister's accusations, saying Welsh language broadcasting "remains important" to the UK government. "There will be a debate to push all of S4C's funding onto the BBC but I will do what I can to ensure there will be continued funding from Westminster," the MP added. The comments came as the director of BBC Wales delivered his first speech since the UK government launched its consultation into the BBC's future. Rhodri Talfan Davies said Welsh language broadcasting's role in sustaining culture was growing. "The case for the public investment that supports it has never been clearer," he said, warning that broadcasters will have to "inspire" the audience to "turn to the Welsh language" in a rapidly changing digital world. Mr Davies also underlined the importance of the current review of the BBC's Royal Charter to the future of Welsh broadcasting. He said: "There is simply too much at stake in this charter review. Get it wrong, and we could see public funding reserved solely for a narrow range of rather niche programmes that commercial companies wouldn't be interested in making." Mourne Mountain Rescue Team were called at 13:35 GMT after emergency services were unable to locate the woman in Tollymore Forest, near Newcastle. An Irish coastguard helicopter was called in due to the nature of the woman's injuries and her location. She was treated for head, neck and back injuries. More than 20 people from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, the police and coastguard and forest service staff assisted in the rescue operation. Mourne Mountain Rescue Team posted details of the rescue on its Facebook page on Sunday. Nine-year-old Matthew McArdle from Newry took photos of the rescue operation. The Parliamentary and Health Ombudsman found the hospital trust and Lambeth Council had failed to share information about "Mr C"'s next-of-kin in time for them to attend his funeral. The Ombudsman said this had caused Mr C's sister "shock and distress". The council and trust have apologised, paying out £650 for distress caused. The Ombudsman found "a series of errors" were made by the trust and the council, including the council's loss of an envelope containing documents relating to Mr C's financial affairs, letters between him and his family, and the key to his property. The envelope was found behind a cabinet at council premises after Mr C's sister, Mrs B, independently learned of her brother's death through his GP and contacted the trust. The Ombudsman concluded these oversights denied his family the chance to go to the funeral. Following the Ombudsman's investigation, the trust and council apologised to Mrs B and paid her £650 in recognition of the distress caused and for the loss of opportunity to attend her brother's funeral. She received a further £374 to cover the two months when bills were unnecessarily paid by his estate. Details of the case were made public as part of a wider report on complaints about the NHS. Parliamentary and Health Ombudsman Julie Mellor said: "We are seeing far too many cases where grieving families are not being given answers when they complain to the NHS, forcing them to endure more anguish and distress." The report contains basic details of 40 case studies among the 544 investigations of unresolved complaints the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman finished investigating in April and May 2015. A Lambeth Council spokesman said Mr C's case involved "a very unfortunate set of circumstances" and the council had since reviewed its processes "to ensure such a situation could not be repeated". A spokeswoman for King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said it had also reviewed its practices. The spokeswoman added: "We would like to apologise wholeheartedly once again to the family involved in this case." An Alan Forsyth penalty stroke in the second quarter was enough to separate the two sides. GB had been dominant for long spells but had to hold out against late pressure from Malaysia. They are now below Australia at the top of the six-team table but only on goal difference - at least until the two sides meet at 11.05 BST on Wednesday. Results, fixtures & tables on the tournament's official website Police have made an urgent appeal to her mother to get in touch. The baby is safe and well. The baby was found inside the disabled toilets at Silcock's Amusement Arcade on Neville Street, at about 19:00 on Thursday. It is thought the birth was unsupervised and there is concern for the mother's health. The child is being looked after at Ormskirk Hospital, where staff have named her April. Merseyside Police said the mother may need medical help. The force has released a CCTV image of a woman - believed to be the mother - who they are trying to trace. Det Insp Mike Dalton, said: "Our primary concern is for the health of the girl's mother. She is not in any trouble. "I would urge April's mother to urgently come forward or at least seek treatment, as she could suffer medical complications, which are potentially very dangerous." A 24-hour phone line has been set up by the hospital in order for the mother to make contact. Kidman was named best actress for her role as pioneering British scientist Rosalind Franklin in the play Photograph 51. The award for best actor went to McAvoy for his performance in The Ruling Class. The awards, hosted by Rob Brydon, took place at London's Old Vic theatre on Sunday night. Picking up her award, Kidman said it was "extraordinary" to win. The Oscar-winning star had returned to the London stage for the first time in 17 years to play Franklin, the only woman involved in the discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953. The actress said she had taken on the role in memory of her scientist father who died in 2014. "Every night before I would go on stage I would kneel in front of his photograph and look into his eyes and he would give me the strength to go and do it every night," she said. Imelda Staunton won the best musical performance prize for Gypsy. She scooped the same category at last month's UK Theatre Awards. Written in the 1950s with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Gypsy opened in Chichester in 2014 before it transferred to London's West End. Sondheim, who turned 85 this year, was honoured with a special award presented by co-hosts Dame Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen at the end of the ceremony. The prize for best play went to The Mother with the Hat by Stephen Adly Guirgis - the only award won by the National Theatre from its seven nominations. Directed by Indhu Rubasingham, the cast included Desperate Housewives star Ricardo Chavira as Jackie, a recovering addict just out of jail who returns to live with his girlfriend but notices another man's hat in their apartment. The public-voted Radio 2 audience award for best musical went to Kinky Boots, which features songs by Cyndi Lauper. Robert Icke was named best director for Oresteia, part of the Almeida Greek season that recently completed its transfer at Trafalgar Studios. Gemma Arterton was named best newcomer in a musical for her musical theatre debut in Made in Dagenham. Stage veteran Vanessa Redgrave received the editor's award from daughter Joely Richardson and shortlisted actor Ralph Fiennes. The ceremony included musical performances from Imelda Staunton, performing Everything's Coming Up Roses from Gypsy, and Pixie Lott singing Moon River from the production of Breakfast at Tiffany's, which opens in the West End next year. The 33-year-old central defender has made more than 100 league appearances for the Black Cats since joining from Manchester United in 2011. O'Shea won 15 major honours at Old Trafford, including five league titles and the 2008 Champions League. "I'm really happy that I can continue here for another two years," he said. "To captain a club like this and to play in front of our fantastic supporters is a huge honour and I look forward to showing my commitment on the pitch in the years to come." Sunderland boss Gus Poyet said: "He is our captain, one of our leaders and I am sure he will continue to help us get better and stronger as a team. I really look forward to continuing to work with John." O'Shea scored an injury-time equaliser for the Republic of Ireland against Germany in their Euro 2016 qualifier on Tuesday, on a night he won his 100th international cap. Sunderland, currently 13th in the Premier League, travel to Southampton on Saturday. Thousands of marches take place each year and the vast majority pass off without incident, but a small number of parades remain highly contentious. Tensions usually arise when a parade organised by one of Northern Ireland's two main communities passes an area largely populated by the other community. Some marches have led to serious riots. Disputed marches are a reminder that there are still deep political and sectarian divisions in many parts of Northern Ireland. Despite progress in ending the violence that had been an everyday feature of life during the Troubles, the issue of contentious parades remains one of the most intractable problems still to be resolved in the peace process. Parades are held for a variety of reasons by many different groups. They range from Orange marches and republican paramilitary commemorations, through to St Patrick's Day celebrations, union protests, charity events and gay pride festivals. But the majority of parades in Northern Ireland are organised by the loyal orders, who are members of the Protestant and unionist community. Their marching season begins in February and continues through to autumn, with the biggest annual parading festival taking place on 12 July. Known locally as "the Twelfth", the day is a public holiday in Northern Ireland and tens of thousands of marchers, band members and supporters take to the streets to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne. They celebrate the 1690 victory of William III, better known as William of Orange or King Billy. The Dutch-born Protestant defeated the Catholic forces of King James II in a battlefield outside Drogheda in what is now the Republic of Ireland. The Orange Order, the biggest organisation in the loyal orders, traces its roots back to 1795. The order views its parades as a celebration of Protestant religion, heritage and culture. It has described them as a "glorious display of pageantry". However, many members of the predominantly Catholic nationalist community have said they view Orange marches as triumphalist and provocative. Some residents have objected to marches passing through or past predominantly nationalist areas and have staged public protests against them. One of the most notorious parading disputes took place at Drumcree, County Armagh, in the mid 1990s, when up to 10,000 Orangemen protested against a decision to prevent their march passing a predominantly nationalist area. However, in more recent years, the annual Drumcree march has ended with a low-key protest while violence has flared at sectarian interfaces areas in Belfast. On 12 July in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 there was serious rioting in Ardoyne, north Belfast, following the Orange Order's main annual parade. Scores of police officers have been attacked and injured by people from both the nationalist and unionist communities, many of those involved have been arrested and the police operations have cost millions of pounds. But it is not just areas where Catholic and Protestant areas meet that have been affected. In July 2012, a new parading flashpoint developed outside a Catholic church on a mainly commercial street near Belfast city centre. The controversy began when a loyalist band was filmed marching in a circle outside St Patrick's church on Donegall Street, playing a song perceived to be anti-Catholic. The band denied it was playing a tune called the Famine Song. Since that date, bands have faced legal restrictions on their conduct outside St Patrick's, including orders on what type of music can be played as they march past the building. The rulings angered some of the marchers and there were disturbances outside the church in August 2012, resulting in several arrests and injuries to seven police officers. Although much fewer in number, nationalist and republican marches have also caused deep divisions in parts of Northern Ireland and some have ended in violence. A week after violence flared outside St Patrick's Catholic church in Belfast in 2012, sustained rioting followed a parade by the republican Henry Joy McCracken flute band in the north of the city. Loyalists objected to the Parades Commission not placing restrictions on the republican march and 47 police officers were injured during hours of violent disorder. In August 2013, unionist politicians expressed outrage when two IRA bombers were among the republicans commemorated during a march through Castlederg, County Tyrone. There was no disorder during or after the Castlederg parade, but it led to a bitter political row at Stormont. Sinn Féin's support for and participation in the event also directly influenced the Democratic Unionist Party's decision to withdraw its support for the construction of a new peace centre. The DUP called a halt to the controversial project, on the site of the former Maze paramilitary prison, just days after the Castlederg parade. The Parades Commission is the organisation set up by the government to resolve disputes caused by contentious marches in Northern Ireland. When a dispute arises, the commission facilitates mediation between parade organisers and protesters. When opposing sides do not reach agreement, the commission has the power to issue a ruling, imposing restrictions on either the marchers, the protesters or both. Parades Commission rulings are known as determinations and are legally binding. Anyone found in breach of a determination can be prosecuted. However, the organisation does not have the power to ban a march. That power lies with the Northern Ireland secretary of state. The commission describes itself as "an independent, quasi-judicial body" and its members are appointed by the secretary of state. The Parades Commission was set up in 1997 as a direct result of the violence that followed the disputed Drumcree Orange Order parade in County Armagh. The protracted row outside the tiny village church reverberated throughout Northern Ireland, leading to widespread protests, riots and, it is believed, several sectarian killings. The Drumcree march had a long history, having first been held in 1807 when the area was sparsely populated, but the first serious stand-off over the parade came in 1995. Police banned the march from going along the Garvaghy Road, an area of nearby Portadown where most of the residents are Catholic and/or Irish nationalist. Loyalists protested by mounting a series of roadblocks across Northern Ireland and that year a limited march was allowed to pass down the road in silence. The following year, Drumcree was the scene of a tense, five-day stand-off when police again prevented marchers from walking along Garvaghy Road. More than 10,000 Orangemen travelled to Drumcree to protest and an Army blockade was set up to stop the march from entering the nationalist area. The government sent in 1,000 more troops to prevent the police from being over-stretched, but more than 50 officers were injured in days of violence. Under pressure, the then Northern Ireland police service, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, reversed its decision to ban the march, clearing nationalist residents off the road to let the parade pass. The RUC's U-turn infuriated nationalists and rioting broke out in other areas, including Londonderry, where 1,000 petrol bombs were thrown at police. In 1997, a new Labour government came to power in 1997 and worked to establish an independent body that would adjudicate on marches. The move was aimed at taking the responsibility for parade decisions away from the police, who were being criticised and violently attacked by both nationalists and unionists. However, unionists have always been highly critical of the Parades Commission, and the Orange Order has repeatedly called for it to be abolished. The gains came at the expense of all the other parties though it lost one seat - Tadcaster - to an independent. UKIP failed to hold its two seats on the authority whilst the Liberal Party lost its two county councillors. The Conservatives now have 55 of the 72 seats. There are 10 councillors who are independent and have no party affiliation. Labour lost three of the seven seats it was defending and the Liberal Democrats lost two of the five seats they held previously. Election 2017: Full results from across England Conservative leader of the council, Carl Les, said: "It is a vindication of the way the party has been leading the council now for almost a quarter of a century. "I do not believe we have a monopoly on wisdom and we will listen to other parties and other members if they come forward with practical and reasonable suggestions for us to consider. "We have not finished with austerity, we will still have to find savings and we will do that." The Women's Football Show on BBC Two will show highlights, while games will be shown live on the BBC Sport website. Promoted Yeovil Town's opening match against Liverpool on Sunday, 23 April will be live online. The Spring Series is a one-off transitional competition before the WSL's switch to a winter calendar for 2017-18. Last year, the BBC, along with BT Sport, extended a deal to show the Women's FA Cup final until 2021. "It's a really positive step that the BBC are streaming FA WSL games for the first time," said FA head of women's leagues and competitions, Katie Brazier. "Clubs also have more opportunities to stream their games through their own channels. "It demonstrates that the domestic women's game is in a really healthy place and we're looking forward to a season of great football and big crowds." BT Sport will broadcast live Spring Series matches on television including the game between last season's champions Manchester City and runners-up Chelsea on 25 May. The Spring Series will take place before Euro 2017, which starts in the Netherlands on 16 July, and England's first match is against Scotland on 19 July. The route was shut at the Cuckoo Bridge roundabout following the incident. Diversions were put in place with one lane also closed westbound. The lorry was moved shortly before 12:00. US, European and Canadian diplomats left abruptly when Mr Museveni made disparaging comments about the International Criminal Court (ICC). The US state department said they had also objected to the presence of Sudan's Omar al-Bashir at the ceremony. Mr Bashir is wanted by the ICC on charges of genocide. Thursday's inauguration - the fifth since Mr Museveni took power in 1986 - was attended by leaders from Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. In his address, Mr Museveni described the ICC as "a bunch of useless people" and said he no longer supported it. State department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said: "In response to President Bashir's presence and President Museveni's remarks, the US delegation, along with representatives of the EU countries and Canada, departed the inauguration ceremonies to demonstrate our objections." "We believe that walking out in protest is an appropriate reaction to a head of state mocking efforts to ensure accountability for victims of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity." Ms Trudeau said that was especially the case as Uganda was committed to accountability as a party to the Rome statute, which established the ICC. The Hague-based court has issued international warrants in 2009 and 2010 for Mr Bashir's arrest on charges of genocide for atrocities in Sudan's western Darfur region. Correspondents say that states in theory have a legal duty to arrest ICC suspects on their territory, but African leaders are increasingly doubtful of its authority.

Leeds captain Sol Bamba volleyed in Alex Mowatt's corner on 34 minutes for his second goal of the season. Mirco Antenucci made it 2-0, running clear on the counter-attack before lifting the ball over Jason Steele for his fourth goal in three matches. Simeon Jackson scored late for Rovers after Leeds failed to clear a corner. Steve Evans' side have responded brilliantly to their 4-0 thrashing at Brighton on 29 February, taking maximum points from games against Bolton, Cardiff and Blackburn to banish any fears of being dragged into a relegation battle. Rovers had scored 10 goals during their four-match winning run at home but while Paul Lambert's side enjoyed spells of pressure, they struggled to create many clear opportunities. Leeds head coach Steve Evans: "I've said many times what a wonderful finisher Antenucci is on the training ground but there's been a lot of wonderful finishers on the training ground over the years that can't hit a barn door when they come out of it. "Antenucci's very much as good on the pitch as he is on the training ground. His touch before he dinks it over the boy Steele is a fantastic touch because the opportunity for the goalkeeper to advance and to put it where he wants. "He's a wonderful player. I'm so pleased for him. He is one player playing with determination for a place in the team. He's often the difference between winning and losing." Blackburn manager Paul Lambert: "I don't think we deserved to lose. I thought we were well on top until they scored. We started the game really well and losing the goal through a set play was disappointing. "The second goal was probably even more so disappointing but I've said to them, you've played so many games in a short space of time and I don't know if any other team has had the schedule we've been on and it's gruelling. "It's the same lads going out week in, week out, and I knew one game was going to come back and bite because of the amount of games we've played. "I couldn't fault the effort and the commitment, the way they played. It was just a game too far for us with the games we've had." The Dons face a 336-mile round trip to play Rugby Park on Sunday 19 February, with the game starting at 13:00. No train services from Aberdeen run early enough for fans to get to Kilmarnock on time. They have also questioned why Dundee against Rangers on the same day was given a later kick-off. "The considerable Aberdeen away support, which is an important source of revenue to many clubs, find themselves in a position where train services on that date from Aberdeen will not enable supporters to get to Kilmarnock on time and the likely impact on the attendance will be considerable," said the club in a statement. "The Dundee versus Rangers game on the same day kicks off at 3.15pm and it would have, we believe, been a sensible option to look at reversing the times." The club had also complained to the SPFL earlier in the season when they were forced to travel to Hampden for a lunchtime kick-off when they played Greenock Morton in the League Cup semi-final. He will replace Sir Peter Bazalgette, who was appointed as chairman of ITV earlier this year. Tate chairman Lord Browne described Sir Nicholas as "one of the world's greatest museum directors". Sir Nicholas, who has transformed the success of the Tate, said the role had been an "exciting challenge". He will formally take over the new post in February but is to continue as director of the Tate until later in 2017. Sir Nicholas, who has been director for 28 years, said: "Over the past 30 years there has been a sea-change in public appreciation of the visual arts in this country. Tate is proud to have played a part in this transformation. "I leave an institution that has the potential to reach broad audiences across the UK and abroad, through its own programmes, partnerships and online." Announcing Sir Nicholas's appointment at Arts Council England, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley told the House of Commons he had "a superb pedigree in the arts". Lord Browne said: "Under his leadership, Tate has become a preeminent cultural organisation nationally and internationally and one of the most visited in the world." The announcement of Sir Nicholas's departure from the Tate comes in the same week it was revealed that Martin Roth was leaving the Victoria & Albert Museum after five years. Nicholas Serota's comment about "potential" reflects three aspects to his character: a predisposition not to blow his own trumpet, a relentless drive, and a challenging nature. He doesn't want the next incumbent to think he or she has an easy ride: there is work to be done. He might be leaving, but he's setting the agenda before he goes. And who might that person be to come in and realise Tate's "potential"? The front-runner I reckon is Maria Balshaw, who has done a splendid job as the boss of the Whitworth in Manchester, a role she's coupled with being leader of the city's cultural programme. Read the rest of Will's analysis on his blog. Sir Nicholas was born in London in 1946. He studied History of Art at the University of Cambridge and the Courtauld Institute. He became chairman of the new Young Friends of the Tate in 1969 and worked as a regional officer for the Art Council's visual arts department before being appointed director of the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford in 1973. In 1976, he became director of the Whitechapel Gallery, where he remained for 12 years. He was appointed director of the Tate in 1988 - the same year he began chairing the Turner Prize, which was redefined as a showcase for contemporary art under his leadership. The Turner Prize went on to become the world's preeminent art award and is now held outside London every alternate year. Sir Nicholas stopped chairing the judging panel in 2007. He oversaw the opening of the Tate Modern on London's South Bank in May 2000 and a renovation of the Tate Britain, located on Millbank, which was completed in 2013. The Tate's family of galleries also includes the Tate Liverpool and the Tate St Ives. Earlier this year, he oversaw the opening of a new extension to the Tate Modern - a pyramid-like tower called the Switch House, which increased the size of the gallery by 60%. A record number of people visited on the extension's opening weekend. He has also recently curated a number of high-profile exhibitions, including Donald Judd, Howard Hodgkin, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter and Matisse: The Cut Outs. In 2014, Sir Nicholas was named the most powerful figure in the art world. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or if you have a story suggestion email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.

Det Supt Chris Ward said officers were continuing to search for Jed Allen in connection with the deaths. There is no suggestion he is armed and some officers are carrying weapons for their own protection, he added. The detective repeated his earlier plea for anyone who knows Mr Allen's whereabouts to come forward. Mr Allen, who has a distinctive black widow spider tattoo on his left hand, is described as white, about 6ft (1.8m) tall and stocky. He is known to the police and members of the public have been warned not to approach him. Although post-mortem examinations are yet to be carried out, police revealed the likely cause of death of the victims was stab wounds. "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the families of Janet, Philip and Derrin," said Det Supt Ward. "It is vital that we trace Jed Allen and I would urge anyone who has any information about his whereabouts to contact police via the 101 number. "If you see Jed please do not approach him, instead call 999 immediately." Officers earlier cordoned off Oxford University Parks as part of their search and were also seen to erect a forensics tent. Police said the search for Mr Allen, who formerly worked as a university groundskeeper at the park, was "intelligence led". BBC South reporter Ben Moore said two more vans full of officers, some of them armed, had arrived at the site on Sunday evening to continue the search. The victims' bodies were found in a house in Vicarage Road at about 20:20 BST on Saturday after police were alerted by concerned neighbours. A number of people have visited the scene to leave floral tributes. One tribute attached to a bunch of flowers read: "You are my family and always will be. I will miss you all each day. You have all left a massive void in my heart which will never be filled. "I love you all so much, Jan, Phil and my Dezzy Doo." Earlier, resident Sheila Welch said the family had only lived in the house for a couple of months and "always looked so happy". Ms Welch said she was first alerted when police descended on the quiet residential road, adding there were "just sirens and police cars". "All I can say is that I am very upset - it is all very traumatic," she added. Senior UUP figure Danny Kennedy has urged voters in the Newry and Armagh constituency not to follow that lead. He tweeted that he would advise his supporters to transfer their vote to "the only other unionist candidate". He said it was "important to protect pro-union seats". Northern Ireland goes to the polls on 2 March to elect 90 members of the Assembly - the snap election was called after the power-sharing executive collapsed over a botched green energy scheme. Under Northern Ireland's single transferable vote system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. On Sunday, Mr Nesbitt said he would select the SDLP as his second preference after the UUP on his ballot paper in March's election. But he said he would not tell supporters to follow his example. "I think I understand Ulster Unionist voters and they don't like being told what to do," he told BBC's Sunday Politics show. Sinn Féin's Carál Ní Chuilín has criticised Mr Nesbitt's comments. "Mike Nesbitt has no right to tell people how to vote," she said, adding that it would be "interesting to see what his position is in relation to implementing the Good Friday Agreement and equality." Stewart Dickson of Alliance said that in the past Mr Nesbitt had urged people to vote Conservative, and "got into bed with the DUP". He said the UUP leader was now "all over the place", and was "not bringing his party along with him". By BBC NI News Political Editor, Mark Devenport Why shouldn't the opposition advise its voters to back their respective parties with the aim of pushing the old governing partners out, or at least weakening their hand in future negotiations? However Northern Ireland elections are never that simple. Traditional unionist and nationalist voting habits die hard. In some seats Mr Nesbitt's candidates will no doubt be living in hope that the generosity of other unionists will see them returned in the later stages of a count. In this context, it's easy to understand the decision by the veteran Newry and Armagh MLA Danny Kennedy to advise his voters to transfer to other unionists, even if it does jar with his leader's attitude. Read more of Mark's analysis here. On Monday's BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen Nolan Show, Mr Nesbitt defended his comments. "This isn't about a pre-election pact with the SDLP. There is no such thing. What I'm looking forward to is the far side and the fact that there will have to be a partnership if we are to have a devolved government," he said. "I think it strengthens unionism to celebrate our diversity in Northern Ireland and on the far side there has to be a cross-community partnership government." His comments have caused a stir among his own party faithful and other unionist parties. Writing in the Belfast Telegraph, Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster said following Mr Nesbitt's logic could mean fewer unionists in the Assembly. "The UUP leader is personally supportive of voting in a way that helps elect nationalists who will take their election as an endorsement of support for their united Ireland position," she wrote. The DUP's Jim Wells tweeted: "‏If voters follow Mike Nesbitt's advice they will guarantee that the 5th seat in South Down will go to Sinn Fein and not a unionist. Madness." In a letter to The News Letter, sent before Mr Nesbitt made his comments, former UUP MP Lord Kilclooney said unionists should vote all the way down candidate list. "A unionist should vote for all pro-UK parties in descending order and then also vote for united Ireland parties placing the one you dislike most at the very end of your preferences," he wrote. "This would result in a unionist being elected and the more acceptable nationalist being elected rather than one who supported terrorism or violence." The UUP and SDLP were both opposition parties in the last Northern Ireland Assembly. Speaking on the Sunday Politics show, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said he would transfer to the UUP, but would be using his top preferences for the SDLP. Welshman Cordina, 24, showed good movement in the contest, but failed to land combination shots on his opponent. The last-16 contest was level after the first round but Tojibaev, 26, was a comfortable winner in the next two. "I can't complain, the better man won on the day. I just couldn't get going in the last round," said Cordina. "He's the hardest hitter I've been in the ring with, but I've got a lot to take from this experience." He follows fellow Britons Lawrence Okolie, Anthony Fowler and Galal Yafai in being knocked out of the Games. European champion Cordina faced an experienced opponent in Tojibaev, who is competing at his second Olympics having appeared in Beijing eight years ago. Despite being docked a point in the second round for punching below the waist, Tojibaev was given scores of 29-27 by the Colombian and Chinese judges to advance to the quarter-finals. Cordina used classy footwork and counterpunching to beat bustling Filipino Charly Suarez in the first round.

The footage obtained by CNN, apparently filmed in December, shows 15 girls in black robes identifying themselves. The girls were taken from a school in the town of Chibok by members of the Islamist group Boko Haram. The kidnapping of the 276 girls triggered the global social media campaign #BringBackOurGirls. The campaign involved US first lady Michelle Obama and a host of celebrities. Despite their efforts, most of the girls are still missing. Thursday marks the second anniversary of their disappearance. The footage of the girls is the first to be seen since May 2014, when about 100 of them were shown in a video. But Nigeria's Information Minister Lai Mohammed urged caution, saying the government had received a similar video last July that led to a "cul-de-sac". He queried why it had been released now, if filmed in December, but stressed the government was "ready to explore all avenues that will lead to the release of the girls". The footage was broadcast after being handed to the Nigerian government. Apparently filmed on Christmas Day 2015, it shows the girls pleading with the Nigerian government to co-operate with militants on their release. They said they were being treated well but wanted to be with their families. Ayuba Alamson Chibok told AFP news agency he had recognised two of his nieces. "It has given some hope," he said. "Now we can believe these girls are still alive and we pray that they are released soon." One girl named only as Saa, who escaped soon after being abducted and now lives in the US, spotted three of her friends. "The moment I saw them and recognised their faces, I started crying, with tears of joy rolling down from my eyes, thanking God for their lives," she said in a statement issued through the Education Must Continue Initiative, a Washington-based charity that supports nine escapees. "Seeing them gives me the courage to tell the world today that we should not lose hope. "I want the world to raise their voice. Let's not stop until the government hears us and does something about it." One mother, Yana Galang, identified five of the missing girls, Reuters news agency reports. She and other family members were shown the video at a screening organised by local officials in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, where the Boko Haram insurgency began. "They were definitely our daughters... all we want is for the government to bring back our girls," said Mrs Galang. Relatives of the girls marched in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, on Thursday. The BBC's Martin Patience in Abuja says they blame the previous government for doing nothing when the abduction took place, as well as the current administration for failing to devote enough resources to the search. Boko Haram militants attacked the government boarding school in Borno state on 14 April 2014, seizing the girls who had gone there to take exams. As the months passed, about 57 students managed to escape but at least 219 are still missing. Amnesty International says about 2,000 children have been abducted by Boko Haram since 2014. Many are used as sex slaves, fighters and even suicide bombers. Although the militants are still launching attacks, the Nigerian army has made progress in its fight against them over the past year, our correspondent adds. 'Boko Haram took my children' Town divided by Boko Haram legacy On patrol against Boko Haram Who are Boko Haram? All three goals came in a four-minute second-half spell, as Marvin Emnes and Danny Graham struck for Rovers moments after Matej Vydra had put Derby ahead. Ben Marshall's penalty hit the post in a goalless first half, after Derby's Richard Keogh had brought down Emnes. Vydra's low finish had given Derby a first home league goal of 2016-17. Nigel Pearson's side took their total of league goals for the season up to three, but they have now lost five of their past six games in all competitions and slip into the bottom three. Victory lifted Owen Coyle's Rovers above the Rams and they almost made the result more comfortable in the closing stages, but Emnes' shot was deflected wide. His equaliser was deflected in from long range into the bottom corner, before he provided for substitute Graham to slot past Scott Carson at the near post. Derby were denied a goal in between Rovers' quick-fire double, Jason Steele saving well from Vydra's header from Nick Blackman's cross. Derby manager Nigel Pearson: "That performance today doesn't really buy us any time for people to keep in a positive frame of mind with us. "I say us because ultimately any team that's selected and goes on the field is my team. There was a level of anxiety in the stadium today which is something we've magnified ourselves through not performing in the way we should do. "It's my team and I am responsible for it so I will shoulder the blame. I will be targeted I'm sure by people's unhappy feelings to why we are in the bottom three and not scoring goals and not winning at home. "But the bottom line is we are where we are because of how we've performed so far." REACTION: Derby County manager Nigel Pearson speaks to BBC Radio Derby Blackburn manager Owen Coyle: "We have to continue the momentum we are building. What we need to have is what we've seen today, a very tight-knit group that is prepared to run until they drop for each other, which they did. "Within that I'm trying to bring some football quality and I thought we did that today. We want to get a platform to kick on from and days like today certainly help you achieve that."

Media playback is not supported on this device The non-league side, who knocked the Gills out of the Cup in 2013, took control early on thanks to goals from Alex Gudger and Jimmy Armson. Frank Nouble pulled a goal back, then fired in his second of the game just before half-time. Both sides struggled to create chances after half-time as Brackley kept their hopes of a second round place alive. Gillingham are now without a win in eight games, and face the prospect of an away tie if they are to advance beyond the first round for the first time since 2012. They were stunned when Gudger headed home an inswinging corner and Armson curled a 25-yard effort in off the crossbar. Nouble, however, converted Jay Emmanuel-Thomas' square pass to ease any jitters and the pair combined again for his second. Match ends, Gillingham 2, Brackley Town 2.

Statins are drugs that help to lower harmful cholesterol levels in the body by slowing down the production of cholesterol in the liver. Around 6 million people take the drugs in the UK. They are given to people who have already had a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack or stroke, and to people who are at risk because of their age, high blood pressure or other factors. Published in the Lancet, it is an examination of studies into statins since they were first introduced in the 1980s. There has been controversy over how widely they should be used, and especially if they should be given to otherwise well people who are at risk of cardiovascular disease. There have also been concerns about potential side-effects, particularly muscle pain. However, the Lancet says the best-designed studies into statins over the years show they have significant benefits in reducing the number of people who become ill or even die from heart attack and stroke. The authors say there have been "misleading claims" about side-effects which have meant people who could benefit from statins have stopped taking them. The review is backed by major health organisations, including the Royal College of GPs and the British Heart Foundation. Some doctors are concerned about the drug being over-prescribed - especially for people who haven't had any cardiovascular symptoms. It is possible to make lifestyle changes to lower cholesterol, such as a healthier diet, with less saturated fat and more fruit, vegetables and fibre, and being more active. This is a question to which the Lancet review sought to give a definitive answer. All drugs have side-effects, and doctors will discuss these with a patient when they are considering taking them. The Lancet says that in 10,000 people, on an average dose, there would be between 50 and 100 cases - so up to 1% - of side-effects such as muscle pain, which could be addressed by lowering the dose of statins or even stopping taking the drug. An article in another journal, the British Medical Journal, published in 2013, suggested up to 20% of people would have side-effects - but these figures were later withdrawn and the BMJ said the data they was based on was incorrect. Editor Fiona Godlee said it was: "So that patients who could benefit from statins are not wrongly deterred from starting or continuing treatment because of exaggerated concerns over side-effects." The experts who put together the review did so with the aim of reassuring patients who are already taking statins, or who may do so in the future. However, anyone with any concerns should discuss them with their doctor. The judges denied the challenge of a white woman, who believed she was rejected by the University of Texas due to her race. The case, Fischer v University of Texas, was decided by a vote of 4-3. Affirmative action, or "positive discrimination", can continue to be used by public universities when considering minority students. The court is currently composed of eight judges rather than the usual nine, due to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, who has yet to be replaced. President Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, is being blocked by Congress. Justice Elena Kagan had recused herself because she has worked on the case before joining the court in 2009. Over the past 13 years, the US Supreme Court had been steadily eroding the ability of US public universities to consider an applicant's race during their admissions process. On Thursday, the court moved - ever so slightly - in the other direction. Justice Anthony Kennedy, further cementing his status as the court's ideological swing vote, said the University of Texas could indeed take race into account for the small number of applicants admitted using subjective analysis of their qualifications. He cautioned, however, such considerations have to be regularly "reassessed". This was the second time this particular case had reached the Supreme Court, and the woman who brought the case has long since graduated from another university. The court's decision almost certainly opens the door for new lawsuits, however, as some universities attempt to implement their own race-conscious programmes and are challenged over whether they are properly assessing the need and impact of their efforts. In this particular case Antonin Scalia's death wasn't a factor, as Justice Elana Kagan had recused herself due to her prior involvement as Barack Obama's solicitor general. But if Mr Scalia is replaced by a more liberal justice, this may mark a lasting change of course. The 30-year-old Croatia international has made one Premier League start this season under compatriot Slaven Bilic. He follows Chelsea's Ramires, who joined Jiangsu Suning for £25m last month, while striker Jackson Martinez joined Guangzhou Evergrande for £31m. The Colombian left Atletico Madrid for the Chinese Super League side, breaking the Asian transfer record. Jelavic signed for West Ham for £3m from Hull in August 2015, but has scored only once in the league despite making 12 appearances from the bench. He previously played for Everton and Rangers. Meanwhile, former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill is leaving Chinese football after his contract was terminated by Shanghai Shenhua. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The hosts needed 106 in their second innings to win and reached their target for the loss of two wickets. They had resumed on 19-0 and Murali Vijay went for eight while Cheteshwar Pujara was run out without scoring. However, KL Rahul's unbeaten 51 - his sixth half century of the series - and stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane's 38 not out eased them to victory. Rahul hit the winning runs as India won the 10th out of 13 Tests in a marathon home campaign which saw the top-ranked team beat New Zealand, England, Bangladesh and Australia. India's only defeat in those contests came against Australia when they were thrashed by 333 runs in the first Test of the series. The hosts bounced back with victory in the second and, after the third was drawn, won the fourth without injured captain Virat Kohli to beat the number two ranked Test team. "This is our best series win so far," said Kohli. "The maturity and responsibility shown by the boys was great to see. "The changes we made to our fitness regime have paid off. It has been a team season. The responsibility has been shared." The fourth Test turned on day three when India bowled Australia out for 137 but visiting captain Steve Smith, who scored three centuries in the series, said he was "proud of the way the guys have competed". He added: "It was a magnificent series, probably one of best I have been involved in. "A lot of people wrote us off before we got here but I am proud of how the guys adapted. We probably let a few moments slip and against India you cannot do that." Republicans said Mr Obama was out of step with America on the project. "It's unwise to build a mosque a the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of a terrorist attack," Senator John Cornyn said. On Saturday, Mr Obama said he was backing the rights of the developers, not the "wisdom" of the project. 'Not commenting' Since a New York developer announced plans to build a 13-storey Islamic community centre and mosque about two blocks from the former World Trade Center site, prominent Republican politicians and a host of conservative pundits have attacked the project. At a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan on Friday, Mr Obama vigorously defended the developers' right to put the mosque there "in accordance with local laws and ordinances". Muslims "have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country", the president said. But on Saturday Mr Obama clarified his comments, saying: "I was not commenting, and I will not comment on, the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there." Nevertheless, a number of opposition Republicans hit out at the president's stance on the US Sunday talk shows. "It's unwise to build a mosque at the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of a terrorist attack," Senator John Cornyn of Texas said on Sunday on Fox News. "And I think to me it demonstrates that Washington, the White House, the administration, the president himself seems to be disconnected from the mainstream of America." Meanwhile Ed Rollins, a veteran Republican campaign consultant, said Democratic candidates would be forced to take a position on the issue in campaigning for November's US mid-term elections. "Intellectually, the president may be right, but this is an emotional issue, and people who lost kids, brothers, sisters, fathers, what have you, do not want that mosque in New York, and it's going to be a big, big issue for Democrats across this country," he said on CBS's Face the Nation. "Every candidate who's in the challenge districts are going to be asked, how do you feel about building the mosque on the Ground Zero sites." Political risks The White House and the president's supporters have sought to frame the Mr Obama's comments as a matter of conscience, not poll numbers, and argue that Republicans are inappropriately politicising the issue. "This wouldn't be a controversy if it was a proposal to build a synagogue or a church," Democratic party chairman Tim Kaine said on CBS. "We don't prefer people and we don't punish people based on their religion." The Politico website quoted a senior administration official as saying: "When I start to view religious freedom through the prism of midterm elections, I'm just going to quit." While polling suggests a majority of Americans oppose plans to build the mosque, a Fox News poll released on Friday suggested 61% supported the developer's right to build the mosque. "It was a bold decision - Obama could have stayed out of what is ostensibly a local matter," wrote polling analyst Nate Silver on the political website FiveThirtyEight.com. "But a careful evaluation of the polls reveals it to be less politically risky than it might at first appear." Media playback is not supported on this device On a febrile night of track and field, Mo Farah's own finale ended with 5,000m silver as he was beaten in a global final for the first time in six years. But with the young GB women's sprint quartet storming to a silver of their own it felt like a generational shift as the stadium came alive just as it had at the 2012 Olympics. Never before has a British team won a world sprint gold, but the quartet of CJ Ujah, Adam Gemili, Danny Talbot and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake ran a near-perfect race to hold off the fancied US team, with Japan taking bronze as Bolt collapsed halfway down the home straight. It was a horrible way for Bolt to end his career, his hamstring appearing to go as he attempted to chase down the two men in front of him. A wheelchair was brought to his side before he was helped to his feet and managed to limp away, but it means he leaves his final championship with only a bronze from the individual 100m to show. Media playback is not supported on this device Farah's defeat had threatened to suck the noise out of the packed stadium, with Ethiopia's Muktar Edris holding off his desperate late charge to become the first man to beat the Briton in a major final since his compatriot Ibrahim Jeilan did so over 10,000m at the 2011 Worlds in Daegu. But then the British quartet of Asha Philip, Desiree Henry, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita went one better than their bronze at the Rio Olympics a year ago to take a brilliant silver behind the USA in 42.12 seconds, Jamaica taking bronze as that country's disappointing World Championships continued. Media playback is not supported on this device The host nation had only Farah's 10,000m gold to show for the first eight days of competition, the mood reflective rather than celebratory as the team racked up five fourth places. In the space of 15 minutes, that mood was transformed. Britain's men had looked smooth in qualification on Saturday morning, and they then produced their best to shock the American favourites and light up the London Stadium. Ujah got out of the blocks brilliantly, his reaction time to the gun of 0.124 secs the best in the field, before Gemili - who only a few weeks ago at the national trials looked a shadow of the athlete who finished fourth over 200m in Rio - powered down the back straight. With each baton change exemplary, Talbot backed up the personal best he ran in the individual 200m with a fine bend, before Mitchell-Blake held his nerve and form to keep 100m silver medallist Christian Coleman at bay. Not since GB's team won gold at the Athens Olympics 13 years ago have they delivered in such glorious style, the display a vindication for both the practice the team have put in and the closeness between the individual components. Media playback is not supported on this device CJ Ujah: "I am proud of these guys and those behind the scenes. It is crazy to do this in London. I can't even talk right now." Adam Gemili: "We are world champs! To run it with Danny Talbot after such disappointment in London 2012, it is so special to come back. Thank you to everyone. It's crazy. Honestly a dream and a reality tonight. Wow!" Danny Talbot: "2012 didn't go our way and we have been working hard since then. It's a massive team effort and we win as a team and lose as a team. We are world champions at home. We will never get this feeling again." Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake: "I wasn't sure if I had won or not, I gave it my all but I could see Christian Coleman out of the corner of my eye. The feeling of euphoria was from infinity. I can't register it. We smashed the British record to pieces." Jamaica had been in third when Bolt took the baton, and the Usain of old would have believed he could have chased his rivals down. But in his valedictory season, the three-time Olympic 100m and 200m champion is no longer the force he was, even as his draw remains undimmed. And 50m down the straight, he grimaced and pulled up before collapsing into his lane, his fall lost in the bedlam for the British triumph. Few had seen the greatest career in athletics history ending like this, and Bolt must now regret not stepping away after his three golds in Rio. Along with Farah, he has been the untouchable, unbeaten star of the last decade, but the mantle - and the baton - has now passed to the next generation. Eight-time world champion Michael Johnson on BBC One This wasn't a win where the USA dropped the baton or Jamaica ran out of the zone - Great Britain beat everyone fair and square. That was an amazing performance in front of a crowd that has been wanting a gold medal. They delivered it on a night where everyone was here maybe not necessarily to see this - but it is an amazing story for a team who worked really hard. Adam Gemili was just ridiculous down the back stretch. He opened such up a gap that was always going to be hard for anyone to chase down. This is a special gift to this crowd and for those guys to go out there and put on a performance like that is fantastic. They deserve this. Daryll Neita, who held off Jamaica by 0.07 on the anchor leg, said: "We smashed it. We worked so hard for this. "I tried my best down that last stretch and I'm glad to bring the team home to silver. We work so hard as a team so we are delighted." Dina Asher-Smith, who finished an agonising fourth over 200m after an injury-hit season, added: "To upgrade from Olympic bronze to world silver with these girls has been absolutely incredible, and to do it at home means so much." The dollar had tumbled after the US central bank said economic growth had moderated, putting off a rate raise. The stronger US currency and lower oil prices dragged energy and material stocks down on Wall Street. Japan's Nikkei 225 closed 0.4% higher at 19,560.22 points, while the broader Topix added 0.3% to1,580.51. In South Korea, the Kospi index shed 0.03% to end at 2,037.24. "Markets believe that the Fed has substantially overestimated the negative impact of the USD in its new forecasts," Chang Weiliang at Mizuho wrote in a report. Chinese stocks were mixed after a survey showed business sentiment had worsened in March, amid deflationary pressures and rising labour costs. The MNI China Business Sentiment Indicator fell for the third consecutive month to 52.2 in March, from 52.8 in February. A figure above 50 indicates optimism. However, the latest reading showed confidence is at the lowest level since October last year. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed down 0.4% lower to 24,375.24, while the Shanghai Composite was up 1% to 3,617.32. The mainland benchmark has rallied this week, rising 7.3%, as more weak economic data boosted hopes of more stimulus from the government. In Australia, shares were higher, with the S&P/ASX 200 closed up 0.4% to 5,975.49 points. Singapore-listed commodity trading giant Noble saw its shares surge by more than 5%, after a unit of insurer Prudential and Invesco increased its stake in the company. Noble shares have lost nearly a third of their value in recent weeks, after little-known firm Iceberg Research called the firm's accounting practices into question. "Noble's entire focus has been, and will remain, on ensuring that we run our day-to-day business as efficiently as possible," a Noble spokesman said. Shares of game-maker Nintendo fell by 6.6% in Tokyo as investors engaged in some profit-taking. The Japanese firm had gained more than 30% in the last two trading sessions after announcing plans to enter the smartphone market. The 47-year-old was on a practice run for a race in an electric car for Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour. Mr Hammond "climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames", the show said in a statement. Co-host Jeremy Clarkson tweeted that it was the "most frightening" accident he had ever seen but said Mr Hammond, who fractured a knee, was "mostly OK". The show's statement said Mr Hammond had been involved in a "serious crash" after completing the Hemberg Hill Climb in Switzerland, where a race takes place on Sunday. He had been driving a "Rimac Concept One, an electric super car built in Croatia, during filming for The Grand Tour Season 2 on Amazon Prime, but very fortunately suffered no serious injury". Mr Hammond was "conscious and talking" after the crash, the show said, and had been flown to hospital in St Gallen "to be checked over". "Nobody else was in the car or involved in the accident, and we'd like to thank the paramedics on site for their swift response. "The cause of the crash is unknown and is being investigated," the statement added. The Hemburg organisers said the official race would take place as planned on Sunday. A statement said: "The vehicle left the track and landed in the meadow." They added that rescuers had been "very fast" to reach the scene. The crash comes 11 years after Mr Hammond nearly died when he lost control of a Vampire dragster while filming for Top Gear. He was in a coma for two weeks after the accident at Elvington Airfield, near York. Mr Hammond, who had been driving at speeds of up to 288mph (463km/h), suffered brain injuries but made a full recovery. A "catastrophic disintegration" of the jet car's front tyre, probably caused by an object like a nail, caused the crash, a BBC report later concluded. In early March 2017, Mr Hammond said he had fallen off a motorbike "many times" while filming an episode of The Grand Tour in Mozambique and "banged my head". But he also said he was "fine", although Mr Clarkson told the Sun newspaper that Mr Hammond had "hurt himself quite badly". It is a year since Prof Graham Donaldson published his plans, which include making computer skills as central to learning as literacy and numeracy. Curriculum content is expected to be available to schools by 2018. But one union said the timetable set by the Welsh government was too ambitious. The new curriculum is set to be the biggest shake-up in what is taught in schools in more than 25 years. Education Minister Huw Lewis in October said schools should begin teaching it in 2021, with the content available to teachers by 2018. He is stepping down in May's election and one union leader urged his successor to look again at the timetable. Dr Philip Dixon, director of ATL Cymru, believes it is too ambitious and there needs to be a debate on the detail over the next three or four years. "We've go to be careful we don't rush this, we don't botch it and we get a curriculum that's fit for purpose and will last for several decades," he told BBC Wales. "Why do it in a rush, let's do it properly instead." Prof Donaldson said he had spoken to a lot of head teachers who were impatient to get moving with it and others who were worried about having enough time to come to terms with it. "I think the process which has been put in place has a pretty fair chance of getting us to the point at which by 2018 and beyond schools will be able to move forward with thinking about the curriculum and its implications for their young people," he said. "The important point is this is not a delivery in terms of a point in time, a cliff that's reached and everything's suddenly different. This is a process which will take place." What has been suggested for the new curriculum? Prof Donaldson said for parents it would not be "year zero" where everything changes but would build on the strengths already in schools. He also welcomed the level of support and enthusiasm for the proposals so far. "I'm also really encouraged by the maturity of the political debate about the curriculum," he said. "It can become very easy for it to become a political football. But politicians across the assembly have been supportive of the way we're trying to develop the curriculum in Wales." David Cameron features in a special charity single - a cover version medley of Blondie's One Way or Another and the Undertones' Teenage Kicks. Mr Cameron said he "enjoyed" his cameo. A government donation will cancel out the cost of VAT on the record. Comic Relief has raised £800m since 1985 to help alleviate poverty. No 10 said the prime minister welcomed One Direction to Downing Street to film part of the official Red Nose Day music video at the end of last year and made a short appearance in the video. A Downing Street spokeswoman added the government would cover the cost of VAT on sales of the single from the overseas development budget, making "a charitable donation that will be the equivalent of the VAT". On Sunday, the prime minister tweeted a picture of himself with the band, and said: "Enjoyed my cameo in @onedirection's vid for @comicrelief charity single. Glad to help with the filming location!" Former prime minister Tony Blair starred alongside comic Catherine Tate for the charity fundraiser in the last months of his premiership in 2007. And Gordon Brown appeared in a comedy sketch with James Corden and boyband JLS in 2011 - after he was voted out of office in the 2010 general election. Mr Cameron also made an appearance in that year's programme. The Masterchef segment saw the prime minister make approving noises as "chefs" Miranda Hart, Ruby Wax and Claudia Winkleman served him a three-course meal. Last year Mr Cameron participated in a running event - along with his wife and their two eldest children - to raise money for Sport Relief, whose funds go towards Comic Relief. Mr Cameron did not appear in clips from the One Direction video shown during Let's Dance for Comic Relief, which was broadcast on Saturday. However, ex-EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney took part in the the programme just weeks after being involved in a serious car crash. The 35-year-old, who shot to fame playing Robbie Jackson in the BBC soap, was knocked unconscious in the accident when his car went into the central reservation of a road in Derbyshire. Speaking after his performance alongside three other former soap opera stars, the actor said he felt it was important for him to take part. "It is all for charity. Comic Relief is a great cause," he said. In other developments related to the charity, it emerged that Shakespearean actor Simon Russell Beale will star in a string of comedy sketches on BBC Radio 3 about the lives of great composers every day in the week running up to Red Nose Day, on Friday 15 March. The channel's controller, Roger Wright, said: "I am delighted that BBC Radio 3 is once again supporting Red Nose Day in 2013, with a wide variety of entertaining programmes. "It's great to have such important figures as Simon Russell Beale again bringing their talent to the station for such a great cause." As well as hoarding during food shortages, the Aberystwyth University study said the bard was also threatened with jail for tax evasion. They looked at how food and hunger were reflected in Shakespeare's writing. His play Coriolanus shows a famine created and exploited by rich merchants and politicians. It was written at the height of the 1607 food riots. Dr Jayne Archer, a lecturer in medieval and renaissance literature at Aberystwyth University, is the lead author of the research. She said the poet and playwright's role as a grain hoarder during food shortages in the late 16th and early 17th Centuries were something that people had largely forgotten about him. Over a 15-year period, Shakespeare bought and stored grain, malt and barley for resale at inflated prices to his neighbours and local tradesmen. Dr Archer said Shakespeare should not be judged too harshly as hoarding was his way of ensuring his family and neighbours would not go hungry if a harvest failed. "Remembering Shakespeare as a man of hunger makes him much more human, much more understandable, much more complex,'' she added. The study was a collaboration with Prof Richard Marggraf Turley of the English and creative writing department and Prof Howard Thomas from the Institute for Biological and Environmental Studies (Ibers). "We're interested in the role of food security and food supply in literature," Dr Archer told BBC Radio Wales. "It was really Richard and Professor Thomas who noticed that in King Lear, hunger, the role of crops and food supplies are very important to the politics of the play. "Shakespeare's representation of the way that crops grow, the way that they sometimes fail to grow and when there are problems with food supply are actually very realistically demonstrated." When Shakespeare was writing, she said hunger and the way in which food was regulated by the government, and how it organised the food chain, was one of the most pressing political issues of the day. He was pursued by authorities for tax evasion, and in 1598 he was prosecuted for hoarding grain during a time of shortage. The research found that Shakespeare "pursued those who could not (or would not) pay him in full for these staples and used the profits to further his own money-lending activities.'' About his prosecution, Ms Archer told the BBC: "It's one of the things that we've forgotten about Shakespeare. "As well as writing for people who were experiencing hunger, he was exploiting that need himself. "He was using his role as a playwright and the public playhouses, gathering coin, in order to take advantage of the market when it's at its most profitable, and selling food at inflated prices to secure the long-term future for his family." The findings are to be presented in a lecture at the Hay Festival in May. The present surface was described as "dangerous" by Peterhead boss Jim McInally after his side's 4-0 Petrofac Training Cup final loss to Rangers. New turf will be put down before this weekend's two semi-finals. "You've got to question how a new pitch can bed down in such a short time," said Warburton. "My concern is if we have any adverse weather on the Thursday and Friday then have Hibs and Dundee United playing on it on Saturday before we play Celtic on Sunday. "I'm not sure how you bed in a new pitch in three days' time. "I understand there's problems and you have to find a solution as swiftly as possible, but it is surprising." Warburton had already expressed concerns about the pitch before kick-off and captain Lee Wallace and midfielder Harry Forrester picked up injuries against Peterhead. McInally's comments came after four of his players picked up injuries in the final. Hampden Park Ltd, which operates the venue, has confirmed it will put down new turf on Monday. It comes only five weeks after the pitch was last re-laid - and will be the fifth patch-up job in seven years - after Hampden's pitch suppliers admitted the grass had failed to bed in properly. "How much does it cost to relay the pitch?" asked Warburton. "With the amount of times it is being done, should you not go for the more expensive option in the beginning which proved to be the cheaper option in the long run?" McInally, who was disappointed with his team's performance against Rangers, said: "The ground is so hard, there is a skim on top of it. "If you soak it then it becomes a bit dangerous. I don't think it could be any worse, no matter what they do to it, but I'm no grass expert. "Three of our players picked up groin injuries. Ryan Strachan has not missed a game all season but had to come off with a calf strain." "For a Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad is more important than their own parents," says the young man I meet in Sarcelles, his face twisted with contempt for the caricatures Charlie Hebdo published. His friend, also 18, nods in agreement as we stand on a street in this Paris dormitory town, famous in France for its large Sephardic Jewish community. "They were warned but they kept on mocking the prophet," he continues. "But you cannot kill for that. You cannot go against press freedom in France. Still, they will have to answer to God." "Real Muslims condemn these attacks," adds a third man, 22 and also Muslim. "Those who committed them were insane. The attack on the kosher supermarket was a catastrophe for France and for the world. If you kill one man it is like you kill all of humanity. That is how we think." We stand chatting openly on the pavement but nobody wants to be identified. Mistrust of the media runs deep since an outburst of violence last July when police held rioters back from entering the town's Jewish area as they raged at Israel's bombardment of Gaza. An invisible line marks the beginning of the Jewish area on Avenue Paul Valery, scene of the confrontation with the police. It starts just before a Holocaust monument and a synagogue. There is no sign of trouble but it has been guarded by CRS riot police since last week. David, a kosher businessman I encounter, is so dismayed by the deterioration he perceives in community relations in France that he foresees a time when the "great majority" of its half-million or so Jews will emigrate. But the Muslim teenager accuses French media of exaggerating the divisions in Sarcelles, where Jews now make up about a quarter of the 60,000-strong population. "We say one thing, you might write another," he suggests, smiling. When I ask how he and his friends relate to the town's Jewish community, they say they have Jewish friends and "nothing has changed". "Mosques get attacked but that doesn't make the news," he adds. The older of the three speaks with real warmth of the French values of liberty, equality and fraternity which were schooled into him. "When I go on holiday to Morocco, I know I could never live there because people make me feel French," he says of his ancestral country. "But in France I am made to feel Moroccan," he adds. "Am I going up to the Jewish area?" asks the younger man. The Jews got the nice part of Sarcelles, he explains, a little sourly, while we got this, gesturing back to the long blocks of uniform five-storey council flats stretching down to the railway station. Actually, there was a time when Jewish immigrants from the former French colonies lived there themselves in numbers, and some Jews still do, but the demographic has changed. By the mosque near the station, old men sit and chat in Arabic. A Tunisian Muslim pensioner I meet gives two reasons why he shunned Sunday's national unity march in Paris, while condemning the attacks. Like the teenagers, he is indignant at the cartoons Charlie Hebdo published: "It set out to provoke people for its own amusement. "It attacked their religion. Make fun of yourselves if you will, but leave others alone. The media is like a car: you need to have a licence to be on the road, otherwise you will be a danger to others. Charlie had no licence to put people's lives at risk with their provocations." His other reason is the presence at the march of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whom he calls "the biggest terrorist in the world" because of the Gaza conflict. He insists he is not anti-Jewish, saying he had Jewish friends back in Tunisia. Another Muslim pensioner I meet separately, a man from Morocco, says he has Jewish friends too, here in France, men he will "have a coffee or beer with". He takes a rather detached view of Charlie Hebdo, dismissing it as a fringe paper he never wanted to read. "But I am 200% in support of freedom of expression," he declares. More Muslims might have attended the march had they not felt "shame", he suggests, at the actions of gunmen claiming to defend Islam. "Muslims may also fear retaliation by jihadists if they take to the streets," he adds. He himself is uneasy after the attacks. "Nobody is safe now," he says before directing me to the nearest tram stop. As my tram glides out of Sarcelles, I reflect that I have not seen a single "I am Charlie" poster or pencil symbol since my arrival yet the quiet battle of ideas here is no less intense than in Paris itself. London Underground workers voted to go on strike in protest at plans to close ticket offices and axe 750 jobs. Transport for London wants to close all ticket offices and have staff on platforms instead to save ??50m a year. Some 77% of Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union members voting in the ballot backed strike action. Station staff will stop work from noon on both days, while drivers will not book on for any shifts between the hours of the action. The last strike of this size was in November 2010. The union also announced action short of strike, including telling its members not to sell tickets at certain times. The transport authority is facing a budget reduction of about ??78m in the financial years of 2013 and 2014. It has said all stations would be staffed while services were running, with more staff being visible to help customers, and that there would be no compulsory redundancies. The plans also include 24-hour service on five Underground lines. Out of 3,356 votes cast, 2,567 were in favour of strike action. The RMT said there was a 40% turnout, but London Underground said only 30% of RMT members took part and it urged union leaders to work with it to avoid disruption. RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said the plans included axing "safety critical jobs" at a time when the Tube network was "under growing pressure from customer demand and needs more staff and not less to ensure safe and efficient operation". He said staff would also have to reapply for their own jobs, a process which would be "a kick in the teeth for the loyal and experienced Tube workforce who have kept services running safely and efficiently under constant pressure from weight of demand and a creaking and under-resourced infrastructure". "These cuts would hit the vulnerable, the elderly, those with disabilities and women the hardest," he said. "De-staffing stations, with supervisors running operations three stops down the line on an iPad, would turn the Tube system into a criminals' paradise where those with violence and robbery on their minds are given a clear run." London Underground said less than 3% of all Tube journeys involved a ticket office payment. Phil Hufton, chief operating officer, said: "We're clear that there'll be a job for everyone at LU who wants to work for us and be flexible, that we'll make these changes with no compulsory redundancies, and that we'll involve staff in our plans at every stage and support them through change." Saulius Urbanavicius, a Lithuanian national, was charged after officers found the body on the shore off East India Dock Road, near the flyover, on 25 November. The victim, believed to be a 21-year-old also from Lithuania, was found with head injuries. He has not been named, but police are attempting to trace his next of kin. Mr Urbanavicius is due to appear in custody at Thames Magistrates' Court later. Another man, 42, was also arrested and has been bailed until January. Union officials representing thousands of striking medical workers have signed an agreement with government officials in the capital, Nairobi. The doctors are to receive increased allowances as negotiations over other issues continue. The doctors have been demanding higher wages and better working conditions and say more doctors need to be hired. About 2,500 public health institutions were affected by the strike. A number of patients are reported to have died from a lack of medical care during the walkout. "We are grateful that this dark page in the history of our country has come to an end," Health Minister Cleopa Mailu said at the signing of the deal. The authorities would do their best to ensure Kenyans "get services quickly", he added, without giving exact dates on when public health services would be back up and running. Dr Ouma Oluga, head of the union of medical workers (KPMDU), said: "The strike may be over but the industrial dispute is not yet". He reiterated the union's argument that it was impossible to separate the rights of patients from the rights of doctors. The return to work agreement will see doctors receive an additional $560 (£460) to $700 a month in allowances. However a separate agreement, called the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is yet to be discussed. The CBA could take weeks to conclude as the organisations that actually employ the majority of the doctors - the County Boards of Health - were not involved in drafting the document and they need to study it before the county governors can sign. Previous attempts to end the strike failed as doctors and the government refused to compromise on their positions. Last week the government withdrew its offer of a 50% pay rise to the workers. The jailing of KPMDU union leaders for refusing to honour a court order to call off the strike failed to persuade the doctors to back down. As well as higher salaries, doctors have been campaigning for improvements to dilapidated public health facilities and want Kenya to address a huge shortage of doctors. The 25-year-old, from Turkey, joined Celtic from Dundee United for £1.5m in 2015, but made just 11 starts. It is the third season in a row that he has left Scotland on loan, with spells at Eskisehirspor, in his home country, and Polish club Pogon Szczecin. Ciftci last played for Brendan Rodgers' side in February, but has not scored for Celtic since December 2015. He has previously played in England for Portsmouth, scoring once in 19 Championship appearances during the 2010-11 campaign. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Alex Rowley, the MSP for Cowdenbeath, has quit his role as Labour's local government spokesman at Holyrood and urged Mr Murphy to stand down. Another Labour MSP, Elaine Smith, has backed Mr Rowley's call saying the party needs "new direction." Scotland's only Labour MP Ian Murray accused those criticising Mr Murphy of "digging knives into the party". Pressure has been growing on the Scottish Labour leader to step down following last week's general election results. Labour lost all but one of its 40 Scottish seats to the SNP in last Thursday's election. Mr Murphy's once-safe majority in East Renfrewshire - a seat he had held for nearly 20 years - was eliminated by the SNP's Kirsten Oswald. Unison Scotland has also called for a "radical change in approach" from the Labour party in Scotland. The union said it was not its place "to initiate a change in leadership" but said if there was a wider movement proposing change it would "not oppose it". It comes after both the Unite union and the train drivers' union, Aslef, called on Mr Murphy to resign. Alex Rowley is a Holyrood new boy, entering parliament via a by-election in January last year. But he is very far from a beginner in Labour politics. He has been at various times a council leader, the party's general secretary in Scotland and a senior aide to Gordon Brown. So, when he says that Jim Murphy should quit as Scottish Labour leader, he commands a degree of attention. Only a degree, mind. Among Labour at Holyrood, there are as many views about the future of the party as there are group members. By contrast, the Scottish Labour group at Westminster is entirely united. Mr Rowley is adamant that he is not revisiting the leadership contest which followed the departure of Johann Lamont. (He backed Neil Findlay.) And he praises Mr Murphy's energy and application. Read more from Brian.... Mr Rowley is a former general secretary of the Labour Party in Scotland and ran Neil Findlay's campaign for the leadership against Mr Murphy last year. At the weekend, Mr Findlay also resigned from the Scottish shadow cabinet saying the election had been "a disaster". Before being elected as an MSP, Mr Rowley was a councillor in Fife and worked as an assistant, election agent and constituency manager to Gordon Brown. He is considered by some as Mr Brown's "right-hand man and protégé". Mr Rowley said Labour needs "a fundamental change in direction and strategy" but he told the BBC Mr Murphy and his aides had focused instead on loyalty to the leadership. He warned that if Mr Murphy remained leader, Labour was heading for another big defeat at the Holyrood elections in 2016. The MSP's resignation letter said he thought Mr Murphy's post-election result speech, in which he vowed to stay on as leader, was "a mistake". Mr Rowley wrote: "I sincerely hold the view that you continuing as leader whilst not in the Scottish Parliament, and not in an elected position holding a democratic mandate, means you will become an unhelpful distraction from the real issues that Scottish Labour must focus on." Mr Murphy met Labour MSPs on Monday to discuss the party's disastrous election performance. Mr Rowley added: "It is clear from the discussion yesterday that dissent in public from the leadership view is perceived as disloyalty, but I am convinced we need a fundamental change in direction and strategy and therefore cannot sign up to your leadership as one of your shadow team." A spokesman for the Scottish Labour Party said: "It's disappointing that Alex chose to resign. The task for the Scottish Labour Party going forward is to work together to rebuild our movement and regain the trust of the people of Scotland." Elaine Smith, Labour MSP for Coatbridge and Chryston, praised her colleagues, Mr Rowley and Mr Findlay, for resigning as party spokesmen. She said: "They are putting loyalty to the Labour Party ahead of personal career or position and I think Jim Murphy should do likewise and step down as leader. "In the face of the worst result for Labour since 1918 we do need a new direction." She is a member of the Campaign for Socialism which has already called on Mr Murphy to "stand aside". Scotland's only Labour MP, Mr Murray, hit out at those calling for Mr Murphy to stand down immediately. The shadow Scottish secretary said the last thing any party should do after a heavy election defeat is make "knee jerk reactions and turn in on themselves". He said: "Everyone who is looking for a camera and a TV studio to dig knives into the Scottish Labour party should go home, sit in a darkened room, reflect how the election was lost and work together." A statement from Unison Scotland's Labour Link said: "It is unprecedented for a party leader not to stand down after such a defeat, particularly when he loses his own seat. "The campaign may have been energetic, but it lacked focus and clearly voters do not regard Jim Murphy as a credible messenger of Scottish Labour values. "Scottish Labour has a limited period of time to reorganise itself to provide a credible challenge in the Scottish Parliament elections next year." At the weekend, the Unite union said the Labour leader should go "without delay" and warned that, otherwise, "extinction looms" for the party. After Monday's three-hour meeting of Labour MSPs, finance spokeswoman Jackie Baillie told the BBC that the "overwhelming majority of MSPs were very clear, they want Jim Murphy and Kezia Dugdale to lead us forward into the future".

A senior Labour MSP says the party is heading for "disappearance" in Scotland unless Jim Murphy resigns as leader.

Three potential sites in south-west Wales have been shortlisted for the 100,000 sq ft facility by project developers Tidal Lagoon Power. General Electric and Andritz Hydro have been appointed as preferred bidders if the £1bn project goes ahead. The companies have committed to supply 16 turbines to the tidal lagoon and to the operation of the assembly plant. Initially employing 100 people, the plant will be able to ship one 7.35m diameter runner turbine a month. It then hopes to scale up its operations, shipping at least one turbine a week by 2018 as the UK moves to moves to construct more full-scale tidal lagoons.

Up to 100 jobs could be created at a turbine assembly plant in Wales for the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project.

The left-wing militant Nikos Maziotis was wounded along with a policeman and two bystanders, after allegedly taking part in an attempted robbery. Maziotis led the anarchist movement Revolutionary Struggle, designated a terrorist group by the EU and US. A 1m-euro ($1.3m; £800,000) bounty was put on his head after he disappeared in 2012. Nikos Maziotis disappeared after conditional release from pre-trial detention in 2012. He was sentenced in absentia to 25 years for attacks by his group including on the US embassy and an Athens courthouse. In April this year, Revolutionary Struggle claimed responsibility for a car bomb outside the Bank of Greece. It is one of a handful of home-grown anarchist groups here that, in recent years, have targeted political party offices and international figures. The deadliest was the so-called November 17 movement, which assassinated more than 20 people including the CIA chief in Athens and the British military attache. One of its leaders escaped prison earlier this year and is still at large. On Wednesday lunchtime Maziotis reportedly tried to rob a shop in central Athens whilst wearing a disguise. After a policeman demanded his identity card, he opened fire, attempting to flee. The police shot back and captured him. The shootout began in the crowded Monastiraki district, steps away from the city's central Syntagma Square. Maziotis has been on the run since he was convicted last year of involvement in attacks in Greece organised by Revolutionary Struggle. The left-wing militant group is best known for bombing the Athens stock exchange in 2003 and firing a rocket-propelled grenade at the American embassy in 2007. A number of supporters ran onto the field after Saturday's 1-0 victory, with some confronting Bradford manager Stuart McCall and his players. McCall said that he was "close to clocking" some of the pitch invaders. "The EFL will be writing to Stuart McCall and his Bradford team to apologise," said an EFL statement. "It is a criminal offence to enter the playing area and whilst some of those who made the decision to break the law did so to celebrate their team's success back to the Championship, a mindless few opted to goad the Bradford City players. "Their actions were completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the EFL. "The efforts of the Millwall manager (Neil Harris) and some of his players to remove the offenders from the pitch should be complemented, as should Harris' appropriate and welcome apology on behalf of his club." Steve Morison scored the only goal as Milwall won 1-0 at Wembley to return to England's second tier after a two-year absence. It is thought Jerrell Elie was at a party in Gordon Grove, Brixton, when a fight broke out and he was chased. An Audi car also took off at speed towards Flaxman Road, where police later found the teenager, from Camberwell, with head injuries. Moments later the car was seen driving down Gordon Grove, under the railway arches. Two men, aged 29 and 30, have been arrested in Wandsworth on suspicion of murder. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as head injuries and Det Insp Brian Fitzpatrick said it was likely these were caused by being struck by a car. He said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened in Flaxman Road, or the events leading up to Jerrell's death. "The party was well attended and it was a warm evening with a lot of people out and about - if you saw anything at all please contact us in confidence." Search and rescue teams discovered the man's body after a 38-year-old from the Millom area of Cumbria was reported missing on Saturday. Paragliding equipment was also found at the scene at Fleetwith Pike near Buttermere. The Air Accident Investigation Branch had been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious. Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team and helicopters from the RAF and Cumbria police were involved in the search operation. Carl Samuel, 22, died in January 2011 as he was returning from day release to Hollesley Bay open prison in Suffolk. He was with his girlfriend in a lay-by on the A14 near Felixstowe when he got out of the car. Ipswich Coroner's Court heard he was "a broken man" after being jailed for killing a pedestrian in London. Samuel, a hip-hop MC from Dagenham, was serving a five-year sentence for causing death by dangerous driving while riding a motorcycle. The two-week inquest had earlier heard a statement from his girlfriend Carla Fuller that he could not cope with the thought of going back to the jail and had also tried to take his own life in prison. Jurors heard Samuel had asked Ms Fuller to drive him to a multi-storey car park on 15 January because he wanted to jump off it, but it was closed. They then parked by the side of the A14 at Levington. The court heard he took two jumps into the road in front of an articulated lorry. He died from multiple injuries at Ipswich Hospital. The 31-year-old spent time on loan with Gateshead earlier this season, making 15 appearances for the Heed. Penn joined Carlisle from York City in the summer of 2016 but made just two appearances for the club. The former Cheltenham Town captain joins Izale McLeod and James Jenning in joining Wrexham during January. The company employs about 10,000 staff at 67 stores and hopes to remain open after a reorganisation of the business. "Together with the curators and our employees, we're working hard on the best restructuring possible," it said. The company has been running out of money after suffering from falling sales. V&D was bought by a US private equity firm, Sun Capital, in 2010 and had been losing money for many years. The current owners had been providing emergency funding but recently decided to stop doing so. The company said it would try to keep its stores open to help attract a buyer for the business. The conclusion was made by an Irish parliamentary committee, which examined the causes of the Republic of Ireland's 2008 banking crisis and economic crash. It said the Central Bank and regulator had sufficient power to intervene in the banking sector but did not use it. The bank bailout cost Irish taxpayers an estimated 40bn euros (£30bn). This figure is lower than the original estimate at the time of the crash, when the cost was thought to be 64bn euros (£48bn). Irish banks got into financial trouble because they lent excessively to property developers before the financial crash. Q&A: Irish Banking Inquiry In its final report, leaked to Irish state broadcaster RTÉ, the committee said the financial regulator also failed to identify the systemic risks building up in the banking sector. Both the Financial Regulator and the Central Bank have been criticised in previous reports. The final report, which is to be officially published next Wednesday, says the regulator did not take enforcement action between 2000 and 2008 against the banks, even when breaches were found. It said and there were no consequences for banks that breached sectoral limits. State institutions subscribed to the soft landing theory - that the Republic of Ireland's booming economy would not crash but see rates of growth gradually slowing - but there was no evidence that the theory was ever robustly tested or validated. The European Central Bank (ECB) position on burden sharing between the state and private bondholders in both November 2010 and March 2011 contributed to the inappropriate placing of bank debts onto the Irish people. In March 2011, the then ECB president, Jean-Claude Trichet, reportedly told Minister for Finance Michael Noonan that "a bomb would go off in Dublin" for the financial services industry in Ireland if burden sharing took place. The ECB reportedly warned the Irish authorities against "burning" bondholders, saying they had to get their money back. The report says that had Mr Noonan proceeded with his burden sharing plan, the National Treasury Management Agency estimated that 9bn euros (£6.8bn) could have been saved. On the banks, the inquiry says institutions moved very far from prudent lending practices in relation to property developers, even entering joint ventures in some cases. The report comes weeks before an expected general election in the Republic of Ireland. Under the banking inquiry's terms of reference, it could not make findings of fact against individual politicians. That is the conclusion of scientists after reviewing all the pictures and other data gathered in the deep impact bowl by Nasa's Curiosity rover. Chemolithoautotrophs do not need light to function; instead, they break down rocks and minerals for energy. On Earth, they exist underground, in caves and at the bottom of the ocean. In Mars' Gale Crater, such organisms would have found just as conducive a setting, and one that the scientists now think could have lasted for many millions of years. "For all of us geologists who are very familiar with what the early Earth must have been like, what we see in Gale really doesn't look much different," Curiosity chief scientist Prof John Grotzinger told BBC News. He was speaking here in San Francisco at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the largest annual gathering of Earth and planetary researchers. His team is providing the conference with a status update on the rover, while simultaneously publishing six scholarly papers online in the journal Science. Some of what is described in these papers, we have heard before. But there is now additional detail that should lend credibility to the earlier claims. Most of the discussion centres on a six-month investigation of a shallow depression in the crater floor close to the robot's August 2012 landing site. Known as Yellowknife bay, this topographic low has been shown through the drilling and chemical analysis of rock samples to contain ancient mudstones. Today, they are cold, dry and dusty, but their sediments were originally laid down in water that flowed in streams and eventually pooled into a lake. It is clear the conditions at the time of deposition would have been more than suitable for a wide range of microbial lifeforms. The scientists can tell that water - the "lubricant" of life - was significant and persistent in Gale, and that it must have been broadly neutral in pH, and not at all briney. Much of this is evident from the presence of clay minerals, which tend to form only under particular conditions. "I think what's very important here is that we've now made the case that these clay minerals were formed in situ," said Prof Grotzinger. "They were not detrital; they were not blown in. They are representative of the aqueous environment that is suggested by the [look of the rocks], and that environment would have been a habitable one." Key to this habitability is the availability of essential elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen and phosphorous. Curiosity has found them all to be present, and in a form that microbes could have accessed. The robot also detects minerals and compounds in various states of oxidation, which organisms could have exploited in simple reactions to obtain the energy needed to drive metabolism. The depression where Curiosity found the mudstones is only about 60m across, but the geologists on the science team believe this is just one small exposed area, and that the rock member (it has been dubbed "Sheepbed") may extend up to 30 square km or more, hidden beneath other sediments. The thickness of the mudstone layer also hints at the length of time the water might have been present. Curiosity scientists estimate this to be perhaps hundreds to thousands of years, just based on the visible Sheepbed layers. When the other rocks lying on top of the mudstones are taken into account - rocks that unmistakably also have been touched by water at some point - it is entirely plausible the wet environments in Gale persisted from millions to tens of millions of years. "Even if a surface lake dries up temporarily, there should still be groundwater in the shallow subsurface," said Prof Grotzinger. "And because we're advocating chemolithoautotrophy and not photoautotrophy, those chemolithoautotrophs should be just fine down in the groundwater, and when the lake comes back again they just rise up to the surface and carry on." And there are some tighter constraints now on when in Mars' history these benign conditions existed, because Curiosity has been able to date the mudstones by measuring the ratio of radioactive potassium and argon atoms found within them. The result is 4.21 billion years (plus or minus 350 million years). "It's been a dream to do radiometric dating on Mars," said Curiosity participating scientist Prof Ken Farley. "Prior to these measurements, the only way you could determine time was by counting impact craters, using a model derived from Earth's Moon where rocks have actually been dated. The model is then scaled to Mars, but it is quite uncertain," he told BBC News. Care has to be taken in interpreting the Curiosity result, however. It refers to the age of the source minerals in the sediments washed into the lake and not the actual time of the mudstones' deposition. This would probably have been several hundred million years later. A different technique also reveals when erosion exposed the mudstone surface seen on the planet today. This was about 78 million years ago (give or take 30 million years) - very recent, geologically speaking. The result is significant because it will guide the strategy on where Curiosity should drill in future to find organic (carbon-rich) molecules. Their detection is a goal of the mission, but they are easily degraded in Mars' harsh radiation environment. The dating work, however, tells the science team to look for locations that are very freshly eroded, even more recently than the Sheepbed drilling points. Organics could very well survive in such places just a few centimetres below the surface. Organic molecules are important because they bear down further on the habitability question. All life as we know it trades on complex carbon chemistry. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos In the struggle to protect standards and remain solvent, small district general hospitals are often seen as vulnerable. Can they survive as care becomes ever-more specialised, safety ever-more stringent, and finances ever-more tight? With an election approaching the question has never been more urgent. Last year thousands of people took to the streets of Stafford to protest against plans to downgrade services at the local general hospital. It was an impressive show of loyalty to preserve a place seen by many as a cornerstone of the community, despite its notoriety for past failings. Part of the problem here, as with many other district general hospitals, was the size of the trust. Advances in treatment mean some conditions - including major trauma, heart attacks and strokes - are handled increasingly by teams of specialists in large regional centres. That means smaller hospitals often struggle to keep staff, maintain standards and balance the books. Andy Black, who has run several NHS hospitals and is now with the health consultancy Durrow says this has produced a damaging stalemate. "If you pursue the centralisation of acute care you end up with a significant proportion of the smaller rural and semi rural hospitals which are deemed non-viable. But the citizens and the voters don't see it that way. So the political pathway to closing that hospital is closed, and the NHS pathway to making it successful is closed." But earlier this summer the chief executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens, warned against too much centralisation. He stressed the opportunities offered by new technologies to develop local services. Airedale hospital, perched on the edge of the Yorkshire dales between Keighley and Skipton, offers a promising model. It serves a mainly rural area with a lot of elderly people. The trust has set up a telemedicine service allowing patients and carers to speak to nurses and doctors remotely, at any time of day or night, seven days a week, via a visual display on a tablet. The idea was initially set up for people in prison, and has taken off. It serves thousand of people in care homes across the country, and is also being used to support people at the end of life in their own homes. The trust's chief executive, Bridget Fletcher, says using telemedicine in this way has helped secure the future of this hospital, and could work for others. "We are trying to get the expertise to the person, rather than the other way round. And if you think about it that could completely change the system of healthcare that we've got at the moment, from one that's primarily based on buildings - with people in buildings - to one based on the technology and diversifying the expertise into different areas." The health think tank the Nuffield Trust is setting up what it calls a "learning network" of smaller hospitals to share ideas like this. They also include working as part of a network so doctors can keep up their skills moving from one centre to another, or developing much closer links with GPs. The Nuffield Trust's chief executive Nigel Edwards says this is a vital challenge for the NHS. "One of the things of most interest at the moment is how do you provide high-quality local acute medicine so when you have perhaps an older person who's become dehydrated or confused you don't have to ship them fifty miles away in an uncomfortable ambulance only to find they have to come back again the same day. "How do we safely see patients who might have a surgical complication but in most cases don't, and can continue to treated locally? How do you manage the risk of that and what type of workforce do you need?" Andy Black from Durrow has produced a blueprint to secure what he calls a "gold standard" service from small local hospitals. He argues rather than trying to keep patients away from A & E, people should be encouraged to regard their hospital as their local health system - bringing in GPs to work alongside doctors on the wards so people can register at their hospital. He also suggests scrapping out-of-hours services such as walk in centres, and amalgamating paramedics and senior A & E nurses into a single team. He says these hospitals can thrive if they get the right support. "One hopes that the commissioners would then see their responsibility to make these hospitals successful and to commission care in a way that supports these hospitals, not undermines them." Andy Black says there are up to 30 seats across England with small general hospitals whose futures hang in the balance. Many are marginal. Little wonder then, his ideas are causing a buzz among MPs and in Downing Street. Labour had argued that the move was necessary to "restore public trust" in politics following a cash for access scandal. But the government said the motion was "unclear" and more about creating headlines than providing a solution. MPs sided with the government to defeat the Labour motion by 287 to 219. The government's amendment was approved. Labour said it would honour its commitment and amend its own standing orders to ensure the ban applied to its candidates and MPs. The debate in the House of Commons was sparked by allegations against Jack Straw and Sir Malcolm Rifkind. The two former foreign secretaries deny wrongdoing after being secretly recorded apparently offering their services to a private company for cash. Introducing the opposition motion, shadow Commons leader Angela Eagle said it was time to make a "decisive break" with the status quo on members' remunerated interests. She said the public deserved to be "safe in the knowledge" that every MP was working and acting in their interests - and not for somebody paying them. Ms Eagle said the current situation was "untenable", adding that the rules were "riddled with grey areas and open to endless convenient interpretation". That is why the House should support Labour's plan to stop MP from holding a directorship or paid consultancy from the next Parliament, she argued. But the Conservative leader of the House, William Hague, contended that "by far the greatest single outside influence" on MPs was union influence on the Labour Party. He said out of the candidates selected for 150 Labour target seats, 83 were linked to the unions, and 49 of those to Unite. Labour's motion was calculated to create a headline rather than to solve a problem, he argued, adding that it showed little understanding of business and was "unclear". He warned that it could create a House of Commons "consisting entirely of people who are either rich or professional politicians throughout their lives". While not mentioned in the motion, Labour is said to be mooting the idea of capping MPs' outside earnings to between 10% and 15% of their salary. But Mr Hague said the opposition did not know how this cap would operate in practice, such as whether it would apply to a farm-owning MP. "Would [former Labour PM] Lord Callaghan [who owned a farm] have had to resign from the House every time there was a good harvest?" he asked, to laughter from MPs. The mood of the House was split largely on party lines; with the Conservatives against the motion, and Labour in favour. Tory MP Alan Duncan argued that the move was aimed at excluding Conservatives from politics as they were more likely to sit on company boards or hold other business roles. Mr Duncan, a former minister, warned that Parliament could end up being filled with full-time career politicians, under Labour's plan. "We're in danger of becoming a low-achieving, sparring sort of shallow chamber where there is insufficient experience to address the big issues of the day," he said. But Tessa Munt, the Liberal Democrat MP for Wells, said she believed the public would be "shocked" to know MPs earned a reported £7.4m from outside work in 2014. "This is about money and time and priorities," she said, adding that MPs had to make a choice between earning money or public service. Labour's motion, which stated no MPs should be allowed to hold paid directorships or consultancies from the next Parliament, was rejected by 287 votes to 219. The government's own amendment, which reminded MPs to uphold the parliamentary code of conduct, was passed unopposed. The Commons Code of Conduct states that MPs must not act as a "paid advocate" - taking payment for speaking in the House, asking a parliamentary question, tabling a motion, introducing a bill or tabling or moving an amendment to a motion or bill or urging colleagues or ministers to do so. They have to declare their financial interests, including paid employment outside Parliament, in the Register of Members' Financial Interests. There are also guidelines for ministers leaving office: former Cabinet members must normally wait three months after leaving office before they can accept any kind of paid employment, and should not lobby existing ministers on behalf of any organisation for which they are employed for two years after leaving office. David Cameron and Ed Miliband clashed over the subject of MPs' second jobs at Prime Minister's Questions earlier in the day. Mr Cameron said he was not ruling out further change, but he said Labour's proposals would allow someone to be a paid union official but would not let them "run a family business or a family shop". The Labour leader offered to include a ban on MPs holding trade union posts, as demanded by the Tories and Lib Dems. The amendment was not allowed during the Commons debate on second jobs due to procedural reasons. BBC political editor Nick Robinson said he was not aware of any Labour MPs who were paid trade union officials, although many receive funding from unions. Speaking on a visit to Colchester, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said voters would not accept MPs regarding politics "as nothing more than a part-time hobby", but added that excluding someone who had "worked for decades in a family firm" was "probably a bit extreme". Morgan's side pulled off the second-highest run chase in Twenty20 international history in reply to what appeared an unassailable 229-6. Chasing 230, Joe Root scored 83 from 43 balls after opener Jason Roy had set the tone, blitzing 43 from 16. "I felt we had to play out of our skins and we did just that," Morgan said. "There is a lot of talent in our group and the best way for us to play is how we did tonight. The freedom that we play with is the best solution for us." Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy all made half-centuries on the way to posting what was, at the time, the second-highest score at a World T20. But England usurped it with the highest successful run chase in the tournament's history to secure an important victory following the crushing defeat by West Indies in their opening game. "There were positives from the West Indies game and I thought we did a lot of the same things right again tonight. We will take a lot of confidence from this," Morgan added. South Africa captain Faf du Plessis recognised his side had been beaten by a quality performance but criticised his own team's work in the field, with England's total including 26 extras. "We've all played this game long enough to know that no score is safe and that was the message to our bowlers," said Du Plessis. "England batted very aggressively in the first six to put us under real pressure. They played exceptionally well but there were way too many extras from our point of view." Listen: We had to play out of our skins - Root The 24-year-old Dane will partner Frenchman Romain Grosjean in 2017. Magnussen had wanted to stay with Renault for 2017 but decided to accept Haas's offer after the French team delayed its driver choice. "We feel that pairing Kevin with Romain will help us develop our new car and continue our growth," team founder and chairman Gene Haas said on Friday. Magnussen will be heading into his third full season in F1 in 2017. He raced for McLaren in 2014, scoring a second place on his debut in Australia, but was demoted to reserve driver in 2015, when two-time champion Fernando Alonso joined the team to partner Jenson Button. McLaren dropped Magnussen at the end of 2015 but Renault rescued his career on the eve of this season after their contract with Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado collapsed as a result of unpaid sponsorship money. Magnussen has been Renault's most successful driver in a difficult season for the company following their takeover of the Lotus team last December. He has scored seven points compared to team-mate Jolyon Palmer's one and has out-qualified the Briton 12-7 in the 19 races so far. But a couple of heavy crashes and the occasional less-convincing weekend left the team uncertain over whether to continue with him. Media playback is not supported on this device Renault did offer to take up their option on Magnussen for one further year, BBC Sport understands, but he preferred the security of a longer-term deal with a team that is more committed to him. Haas, who have close links with Ferrari, have done a solid job in their debut season and lie eighth in the constructors' championship. Their best result was a fifth place for Grosjean in Bahrain. Following Magnussen's decision to leave Renault, the team confirmed it was retaining Palmer for their second seat alongside German Nico Hulkenberg, who signed for the team last month. Palmer had previously been considered an outside bet and more likely to join Force India. Video taken inside the Pedrinhas prison in Sao Luis also shows the torture of one inmate at the hands of others - and cases of beheadings. The district judge who wrote the report said the video was the "most barbarous scene" he had ever witnessed. Brazil has the world's fourth largest prison population with half a million inmates occupying spaces for 300,000. The report contains details of sexual relations between prisoners taking place in open spaces, horrific scenes of torture and at least 59 deaths, including the beheading of three prisoners, in the last year. Across the country, many poorly resourced jails are, in effect, run by powerful crime gangs and the government is looking again at a greater role for privately run prisons, says the BBC's Wyre Davies in Rio de Janeiro. A judicial report into a prison in the northern Brazilian state of Maranhao has exposed some shocking conditions of torture, sexual abuse and murder. The report, now handed over to Brazil's Supreme Court, describes a desperately overcrowded facility where the prison authorities have lost control and where punishment or retribution is handed-out on a daily basis by gangs. One video, obtained by a newspaper shows the slow torture of one inmate until he dies. Pedrinhas, in the state of Maranhao, is notorious for its gang warfare; fighting between inmates in October left 13 dead and 30 injured. Brazil's Minister of Justice, Jose Eduardo Cardozo, said last year that Brazil had "a medieval prison system, which not only violates human rights [but] does not allow for the most important element of a penal sanction, which is social reintegration". Officials say that despite building new prisons they have not been able to keep pace with the increasing number of detainees, making it hard for them to improve conditions within the jails. Uber deactivates its drivers for a multitude of reasons, most famously for having a passenger rating which drops below 4.6 out of five. Drivers can also be banned for serious misconduct, such as sexual assault. But the grayer area for drivers is the various other ways you can be deactivated, such as “excessively” cancelling rides or not accepting enough rides. In some cases, drivers have reported being deactivated after posting disparaging remarks about Uber on social media. But now an appeals process - for New York City drivers only - will see drivers up against a panel made up of five other Uber drivers. Here they will be able to appeal deactivations, but only those in that gray area. “Bad” drivers rated poorly by passengers will not be eligible. The decision is being touted as a “huge win” by the Independent Drivers Guild (IDG), the only workers’ rights group recognised by Uber. It isn’t, however, a union - as drivers can’t use the group to bargain for better pay or benefits. Jim Conigliaro, founder of the IDG, told his members in an email that the group was “celebrating another victory”. "After months of negotiations,” he wrote, “we finally won you the right to a fair deactivation appeal with Uber management." 'Peer panel' Uber did not respond to the BBC’s request for comment other than to point in the direction of its newly set up portal for appeals. The service has also not yet said whether the same system will be made available to drivers in other cities or countries. "No deactivation decision is taken lightly or without investigation,” the company wrote on the appeals process web page. "As such, certain deactivation decisions, especially those related to zero tolerance violations, are not eligible for appeal. "For example, we will not accept appeals related to criminal activity while on the app, like theft or reckless driving. Likewise, we will not accept appeals related to physical or sexual altercations." Drivers with a low passenger rating will also not be considered using this process, Uber said. Drivers kicked off for poor “quality” can undergo a training course which may see their account reactivated. The so-called “peer panel” of drivers will be jointly picked by IDG and Uber and will be facilitated by the American Arbitration Association. Uber has tussled with its drivers over workers’ rights in cities all over the world. In October an employment tribunal in London determined that drivers should get the right to be considered employees - meaning holiday pay, sick leave, paid breaks and other benefits. A similar row is taking place in various locations in the United States. Uber, which launched in 2009, is said to be worth more than $60bn based on investments made in the company. It is widely considered to be one of the major tech firms considering going public next year. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook Just two points separate the pair at the bottom of Women's Super League One with three games remaining, while Liverpool need just one point to guarantee safety. Two sides that have competed in the Champions League twice in the past four years now face the prospect of the drop. "If you go down it is not the end of the line but it is an absolute disaster to get relegated from this league," Parker told BBC Sport following Sunday's 1-1 home draw against Sunderland. "Getting relegated from WSL 1 is a doomsday scenario - it is funding, players, everything. You see the way Everton went down, losing a couple of players and now you can see how hard it is to get out." Bristol Academy, who beat Barcelona to reach the quarter-finals of Europe's top club competition this year, are rock bottom - a spot they have occupied all season. Birmingham, with almost the same line-up that reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and came within a goal of the title last season, are away from home for their final three matches - starting with next week's trip to Bristol. Birmingham City seemed to have brought Liverpool into the relegation scrap when they claimed their first and only league win to date against the Reds earlier this month. However, two goals from Natasha Dowie was enough for Liverpool to overcome a Bristol side that revived their own hopes of avoiding the drop after claiming their first win of the league season by beating Women's FA Cup finalists Notts County. "It was a two-horse race until Birmingham beat Liverpool and we beat Notts and it almost dragged them into it," Kirk told BBC Sport after Saturday's 2-0 defeat. Blues travel to Bristol's Stoke Gifford Stadium next week for what is shaping up to be the most definitive night in their relegation battle. Birmingham have enjoyed FA Cup glory and sampled European success, but Parker believes their trip down the M5 will be a defining moment. "It is one of the biggest games in this club's history, we don't need to build it up any more than that," he said. Kirk's message to his players ahead of Birmingham's visit is to ensure they take the fight all the way. "I think it will go do to the last day of the season, but we have a lot of work to do between now and then to make sure we are still in it with a game to go," said the Scotsman. Parker says the fitness of England internationals Karen Carney and Jade Moore is being assessed game by game. Carney, the first woman inducted into Birmingham City's Hall of Fame, helped create Blues goal against Sunderland, while Moor was sidelined. "Karen is a top-class player. You want top-class players on the pitch and, most importantly, you want them to perform," said Parker. "If it is just a matter of playing game by game, then that is what we have to do at this moment in time because we are in a dogfight." Kirk, who replaced Dave Edmondson in June and rejuvenated the squad with seven transfer deadline day signings, insists the Vixens have responded to their relegation plight. "It is easy to coach that lot, because they have been great since the day I came," he said. "They have been fantastic in terms of focusing on what we are trying to do and believe in what we are trying to do. "We are not far away, but that is not going to save us from relegation - we need results." Additional reporting by Jo Currie and Tom Garry. Emma-Jayne Magson, 23, of Sylvan Road, Leicester, killed James Knight, 26, in the early hours of 27 March following a "drunken row". Magson, who was found guilty after a three-week trial, was sentenced at Leicester Crown Court and ordered to serve a minimum of 17 years. Judge Nicholas Dean QC said her behaviour was "inexplicable". The court listened to a recording of a 999 call Magson made some time after she attacked Mr Knight, saying he had collapsed but failing to mention he had been stabbed. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire When told an ambulance might be delayed, Magson said: "No, that's fine, don't worry about it." The family of murdered James Knight said his two daughters question why "daddy was stolen". A statement was read to the court on behalf of his children, four-year-old Ruby and Evie, six and their mother Becki Waite. "The initial shock of being woken at 4am to be told the father of your children had died made me feel numb and utterly broken," it read. "To then be informed he was murdered was heart-wrenching but to later find out it was by the woman he had left me for, the woman who had been putting our daughters to bed on a weekend, made me feel like a part of me had died at the same time. "My five-year-old was asking 'why has Daddy been stolen?' and 'how will he know it's my birthday?" "The impact of James's death isn't just for now, the impact isn't going to stop. "My little girls will never have a daddy, never get to go to the park with him, he will never walk them down the aisle, this will continue to have a huge domino effect." She later claimed she had stabbed Mr Knight in self-defence but refused to give evidence during the trial. The judge said: "You did nothing to help James Knight. Your behaviour is inexplicable. "You knew you had used the knife, the knife you disposed of. You carried the bloodied T-shirt into the house and there it was on the floor, close to where James remained prone, struggling by now to breathe. "You have demonstrated no real remorse for what you did, on the contrary you have effectively blamed James Knight for what you did". Magson refused to give evidence during her trial but the court heard that she claimed Mr Knight had been beaten up by two bouncers on a night out in the city centre. The victim's brother Kevin Knight, who lived a few doors away, helped Magson carry the body back into her front room - without knowing about the fatal stab injury. He was later woken by Magson banging frantically on the door screaming "It's James, it's James, he's dead, he's dead", the jury heard. In his closing speech, prosecutor Michael Evans QC said: "(On that night) she was in drink, she was cold, she was brutal, she was manipulative, she was calculating, she was volatile, she was determined and she was vicious." 12 November 2015 Last updated at 18:20 GMT The two Greater Manchester Police officers were sent to the home of Fred Thomson and his 95-year-old wife Doris in Middleton. GMP Middleton tweeted: "Just dealt with a 95 year old couple who called the Police as they were lonely. "What else could we do but make them a brew and have a chat." Mr Thomson told BBC North West Tonight how he and his wife enjoyed their company and was grateful for their help. Abuot 400 old vehicles are on fire at the Moorfield Drive Industrial estate in Altham, near Accrington. More than 80 firefighters are at the yard. Lancashire Police said smoke drifted across the M65 between Rishton and Accrington. Two lanes were closed eastbound. Residents are being asked to keep their windows closed and avoid the area. Lancashire Fire and Rescue said crews were starting to have a "significant effect" on the blaze after being called to the yard at about 04:40 GMT. The blaze quickly spread due to a "strong breeze", it added. A hazardous materials unit has joined firefighters to advise on protecting the environment and public health. The Environment Agency said it was working with the fire service. Joshua House Children's Centre, in Guyana's capital Georgetown, houses children at risk of poverty or neglect. The centre was founded in 1977 by the controversial Unification Church. After touring the building, the prince held a question and answer session with 50 of the children, aged between seven and 17. Answering a question about what life is like as a prince, Harry said: "It's good and bad - there's lots of privileges, of course, that you get from when you're born; but with privilege comes responsibility." Asked what his middle names are, he replied: "I was christened Henry but everyone calls me Harry, and I have - let's see where it starts: Charles, Albert and David - I have three middle names." After hearing the long names of some of the children, he joked: "Mine are really boring." The prince's visit to the centre marked the end of his 15-day tour of the Caribbean, where he has also visited Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. He has taken part in a wide range of events including meeting pop singer Rihanna in Barbados to promote World Aids Day, releasing baby turtles into the sea in St Kitts and Nevis, and visiting Guyana's rainforest and Kaieteur Falls. Joshua House Children's Centre is run by Gladys Acca, who is a member of the Unification Church of Guyana and was married alongside 6,000 other couples in South Korea. The founder of the Church, the late Sun Myung Moon, is revered by his followers who are often referred to as "Moonies". The church claims millions of members worldwide and became famous for its mass wedding ceremonies. But critics say the Church brainwashes its followers - a claim it denies. A contract has been awarded to the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) to carry out the tests of vehicle "platoons". Up to three lorries will travel in formation, with acceleration and braking controlled by the lead vehicle. But the head of the AA said platoons raised safety concerns. In the platoons, the lead vehicle will be controlled by a human driver and will communicate with the rest of the convoy wirelessly. The following vehicles will be instructed to accelerate and brake by the lead vehicle, allowing the lorries to drive closer together than they could with human drivers. Lorries driving close together could reduce air resistance for the following vehicles, as the front lorry pushes air out of the way. This could lead to fuel efficiency savings for haulage companies, which Transport Minister Paul Maynard hopes will be passed on to consumers. The following vehicles could also react more quickly to the lead lorry braking than human drivers can. However, human drivers will still steer all the lorries in the convoy. The TRL will begin trials of the technology on test tracks, but these trials are expected to move to major roads by the end of 2018. The government has been promising such a project since at least 2014. Last year, for example, it announced its intention to carry out platooning trials but was later frustrated after some European lorrymakers declined to participate. A Department for Transport spokesman told the BBC that the experiments are now expected to go ahead as the contract had been awarded. Will the platoon block motorists trying to leave or enter the motorway? The TRL says it will carefully choose sections of motorway for its trials, taking the number of junctions and traffic into account. All the lorries will have drivers behind the wheel who will be able to take control and break up the convoy to let other drivers join or leave the motorway if there is an obstruction. What happens if a car tries to squeeze between the lorries? The platoon lorries will be able to drive more closely together than those driven exclusively by humans, so the gap between them might be uncomfortably close for a driver to try to squeeze into. However, the TRL says its current strategy is to break up the convoy and let the human drivers take control, if a car squeezes in between the lorries. The organisation is considering ways of informing other road users that the lorries are in a "self-driving" convoy. How much fuel will a convoy actually save? According to TRL, other trials have seen improvements in fuel economy of between 4% and 10%. A local trial will help determine the benefit platooning can deliver in the UK. The TRL has announced its partners for the project: Platooning has been tested in a number of countries around the world, including the US, Germany and Japan. However, British roads present a unique challenge, said Edmund King, president of the AA. "We all want to promote fuel efficiency and reduce congestion but we are not yet convinced that lorry platooning on UK motorways is the way to go about it," he said, pointing out, for example, that small convoys of lorries can block road signs from the view of other road users. "We have some of the busiest motorways in Europe with many more exits and entries. "Platooning may work on the miles of deserted freeways in Arizona or Nevada but this is not America," he added. His comments were echoed by the RAC Foundation. Its director, Steve Gooding, said: "Streams of close-running HGVs could provide financial savings on long-distance journeys, but on our heavily congested motorways - with stop-start traffic and vehicles jostling for position - the benefits are less certain." Campaign group the Road Haulage Association said "safety has to come first". Transport Minister Paul Maynard said platooning could lead to cheaper fuel bills, lower emissions and less congestion. "But first we must make sure the technology is safe and works well on our roads, and that's why we are investing in these trials," he said. Oxford City Council's Bob Price said a county mayor would allow Oxfordshire to pull "powers back from Whitehall". He also claimed a mayor would increase central government funding and provide greater control over housing and transport for the county's six council authorities. Authority leaders have confirmed they are looking at elected-mayor proposals. It was revealed in November that the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP) - tasked with boosting the county's economy - had only provisionally received £15m of £382m requested funding to complete infrastructure projects across the county. Mr Price, who is a member of OxLEP, said: "We think that in the latest round of local growth fund allocations there was a strong bias in the allocations made by government to places which had elected mayors and combined authorities. "There's no evidence to really prove that, but that seems to be the evidence in terms of allocations." Mr Price said he believes there would be political consensus between the mayor and respective Labour and Conservative-run Oxfordshire authorities, as all of the authorities wanted to improve roads such as the A34, and resolve the county's housing crisis. Analysis: Bethan Phillips, BBC Oxford political reporter: The fact that Oxfordshire does not yet have an elected mayor is rumoured to be the reason the county recently missed out on hundreds of millions of pounds for big projects from the government. Council bosses and Oxfordshire's Local Enterprise Partnership put together a bid for £382m for things like upgrading railway stations, building new junctions on the A34 and creating new roads. But the county is only expected to get a tiny slice of that money. Oxford City Council leader Bob Price claims there was a bias in allocating money to areas that have elected mayors, or plans to bring one in. There is no consensus yet from our councils on whether or not having an elected mayor is a good idea - and they will all have to agree for the plan to go ahead. But if there are potentially big sums of money involved, the change is going to be very tempting for councils. The six councils - Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford City Council and Cherwell, West Oxfordshire, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils - are looking at lobbying the government for an elected mayor, potentially as part of a devolution bid. A spokesperson for Oxfordshire County Council, which manages transport infrastructure, social care, children and adult services in the county, said: "We cannot pass up the chance to secure infrastructure investment from the government, so we will work closely with the district and city councils on a devolution bid - which is likely to include an elected mayor and combined authority. "But we still need to be convinced that adding another layer of council administration is right for Oxfordshire." OxLEP chief executive Nigel Tipple said: "Ultimately, proposals will be submitted to central government for consideration and final decision. "OxLEP will continue to work closely with all local authorities, universities, business and other partner organisations to create the conditions that will best enable the county's already thriving economy to flourish and grow in future." Final results in the poll - seen as a step towards restoring peace - are not expected for several weeks. The seizure of power by a mainly Muslim rebel group in 2013 led to prolonged bloodshed. Candidates Faustin Touadera and Anicet Dologuele have pledged to restore security and boost the economy. Both Mr Touadera, portrayed by supporters as a peacemaker who can bridge the Christian-Muslim divide, and Mr Dologuele, who has promised a break from the country's violent past, expressed hope for a high turnout. Mr Dologuele even referenced St Valentine's Day as he exhorted citizens to vote "as an act of love for their country", Radio Centrafrique reported. But a BBC correspondent in the region said there was less enthusiasm among voters than during the first round in December, although election officials said the voting had gone smoothly. Prime Minister Mahamat Kamoun echoed this, telling Radio Centrafrique that he was "not entirely satisfied" with voter turnout. Voters were also choosing a new parliament following the annulment of a poll in December due to irregularities. Nearly 80% of the electorate voted in December's first round, which observers saw as a rejection of violence. Communal reconciliation and reigniting the country's sluggish economy featured prominently as campaign themes. CAR is one of the world's most unstable countries and was thrown into political chaos three years ago when mostly Muslim Seleka fighters toppled President Bozize. Christian militias responded to Seleka abuses, with attacks carried out against the Muslim minority community. After regional pressure, an interim administration took charge in January 2014 and later that year a 10,000-strong UN force took over the peacekeeping mission. The north-east of the country is now mostly under the control of Muslim rebels while Christian militias hold sway the south-west. Thousands died in the fighting and roughly a fifth of the population is thought to have been displaced. Their dinghy was found deflated 28 nautical miles west of the island of Alborán, midway between the Moroccan coast and Spain. Three survivors were rescued by the Spanish coastguard on Tuesday. The 17-year-old and two men aged 25 were all taken to Tarifa for treatment for hypothermia and burns. But hope has faded of finding anyone else alive. The boat had apparently set out with 52 people aboard on Sunday morning and had drifted for days before being hit by a strong wave. There has been a sharp rise in migrant arrivals on Spain's south coast this year. Since the start of 2017, 6,464 migrants crossed the Mediterranean to Spain, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The total in 2016 was just over 8,000 migrants last year, making up only 2% of the total of so-called "irregular arrivals" to the EU. The vast majority of the 101,000 who have crossed the Mediterranean this year have arrived via Italy. The number of fatalities is put at 2,247. Even before this tragedy, 60 migrants are believed to have drowned in the Western Mediterranean this year. Andalucía human rights charity APDHA estimates that 6,000 people have drowned trying to cross that stretch of water since 1997. "Right now we've got the capacity to handle this but it is stretching us," said Samuel Linares, provincial co-ordinator of the Red Cross in Málaga, on Spain's south coast. "The resources in the province of Málaga were set up for the numbers arriving two or three years ago and since then they have multiplied by three or four times." The vast majority of migrants coming to Spain are sub-Saharan Africans fleeing poverty or conflict in their home countries. Many of those who make the journey come from West African nations such as Guinea or Ivory Coast. A common route is by land through Mali and Algeria, then on to Morocco, which at its nearest point is only eight nautical miles from the Spanish mainland. Migrants often camp out in forests near ports such as Nador, in northern Morocco, as they prepare for the final part of their journey. Although people traffickers are often involved in organising boats for crossings, groups of migrants also pool their money to get hold of motorised, inflatable boats in which they set off from the Moroccan coast. The usually calm summer months are particularly popular for crossings but, as the latest tragedy shows, a rogue wave or unexpected weather can make the journey a lethal one. Internal factors within particular countries of origin can also encourage exoduses. Recent social unrest in northern Morocco's Rif region, for example, has triggered a new migratory tendency. "The people who come to Spain on boats have generally been sub-Saharan Africans," says Jon Iñárritu, a senator who sits on Spanish parliamentary commissions for domestic and foreign affairs. "But in recent days we've seen people arriving from Rif, requesting political asylum." Migrants who reach Spain or Spanish waters are given medical attention before they are placed in police custody and then housed in the short term either in a migrant stay centre or in accommodation provided by an NGO. And, when they have recovered, that will likely be the fate of the three survivors from the rescue west of Alborán. Many of those who arrive lack documents and are often reluctant to reveal their true country of origin, especially if it has a repatriation agreement with Spain. It can take several months before migrants find out if they are to be allowed to stay in Spain or if they are to be sent back home. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. Patients will be offered Imbruvica, which needs to be swallowed once a day. It will treat relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma and certain types of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), which affects 3,000 people in Wales. The drug targets cancer cells, stopping them in their tracks before they have time to multiply and travel through the body. Around one in every 25 people will be diagnosed with blood cancer during their lifetime. Boycott rounded on Cook following his comments about incoming England and Wales Cricket Board boss Colin Graves. Cook was critical of Graves for calling West Indies a "mediocre" side before the drawn Test series in the Caribbean. Boycott, a Yorkshireman like Graves, said Cook was "out of order", adding: "If he attacks us, I care." Boycott added on Twitter that there was "no reason to slag off Yorkshire folk" and said Cook would have been sacked in any other business for "publicly criticising his boss". To add spice to the row, Boycott, 74, also claimed that Yorkshire, the current county champions, had produced more England cricketers than any other county and would beat the current England team. Media playback is not supported on this device Cook has come in for renewed criticism after England lost the third and final Test against West Indies in Barbados to draw the series 1-1. But it is his comments about Graves that have really infuriated Boycott. Cook said Graves had inspired West Indies with his "mediocre" remark, adding: "That's a Yorkshireman for you... they're quite happy to talk a good game," In his Daily Telegraph column on Tuesday, Boycott wrote: "Every time Cook opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it. "Cook acts as if he is the best captain England have ever had. "He is living in cloud-cuckoo land about his captaincy ability. He thinks he is untouchable." Boycott's comments, in turn, drew a fierce response from Steve Harmison, a former England team-mate of Cook's. The former Durham fast bowler told BBC Radio 5 live: "Geoffrey makes some valid points about the team, but I can't agree with what he says about Alastair Cook. That's a disgrace. "He is having a personal crusade on a man who is trying to do his best." The journey is seen as one of the five pillars of Islam, central to the faith. Pilgrims spend five days praying both in Mecca and the surrounding desert. It is a spiritual pilgrimage that every adult Muslim must perform at least once in their lives if they can afford it and are physically able. In order to be closer to God, they wear simple clothes, aren't allowed to argue and perform rituals such as throwing stones at pillars to symbolise rejecting evil. Teresa Romero's brother said her health had deteriorated and she was now being helped with her breathing in hospital. Meanwhile, two doctors who treated her have been admitted for observation. The admissions bring to six the total number of people under quarantine at the hospital in Madrid. A spokesman for the Carlos III hospital said that so far neither of the two doctors recently admitted had shown Ebola symptoms. Ms Romero is the first person to have contracted the deadly virus outside West Africa. She was part of a team of about 30 staff looking after two missionaries who later died from the virus after being repatriated from West Africa. Ms Romero told a Spanish newspaper that she might have become infected when removing her protective suit after cleaning one of the missionaries' room. How not to catch Ebola Why Ebola is so dangerous How Ebola attacks Ebola: Mapping the outbreak On Wednesday she said that she was not feeling unwell, but now her condition has worsened although details remain unclear. Her husband is among those being monitored. The Ebola outbreak has already killed more than 3,000 people and infected more than 7,200, mostly in West Africa. Spanish newspaper El Pais said that "a chain of human errors" had led to the first contagion of Ebola outside West Africa. After cleaning the room of one of the missionaries following his death from the virus, Ms Romero took two days off from work and was instructed to monitor her temperature, the paper adds. Reports as to what happened next vary, but it is believed that several days after cleaning the room she called the hospital reporting feverish symptoms and a temperature of 37.6C. Sources working at her primary health care centre - where she was referred - told Spanish media she had not explained that she had been in contact with Ebola-infected patients. As a result she was discharged with painkillers. Missionary Miguel Pajares, 75, died on 12 August after contracting the virus in Liberia. Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, died on 25 September after catching the disease in Sierra Leone. In other developments, Thomas Duncan, 42, tested positive in Dallas, Texas, 10 days after arriving from his native Liberia. He became ill a few days after arriving in the US. Even after going to hospital and telling medical staff he had been in Liberia, he was sent home with antibiotics. Peter Piot, one of the scientists who discovered Ebola in 1976, has told the BBC more must be done to stop the spread of the virus, saying he never imagined an outbreak "could have got to this point". Surgical cap Goggles Medical mask Scrubs Overalls Apron Double gloves Boots Respirator The cap forms part of a protective hood covering the head and neck. It offers medical workers an added layer of protection, ensuring that they cannot touch any part of their face whilst in the treatment centre. Goggles, or eye visors, are used to provide cover to the eyes, protecting them from splashes. The goggles are sprayed with an anti-fogging solution before being worn. On October 21, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced stringent new guidelines for healthcare personnel who may be dealing with Ebola patients. In the new guidelines, health workers are advised to use a single use disposable full face shield as goggles may not provide complete skin coverage. Covers the mouth to protect from sprays of blood or body fluids from patients. When wearing a respirator, the medical worker must tear this outer mask to allow the respirator through. A respirator is worn to protect the wearer from a patient's coughs. According to guidelines from the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the respirator should be put on second, right after donning the overalls. A surgical scrub suit, durable hospital clothing that absorbs liquid and is easily cleaned, is worn as a baselayer underneath the overalls. It is normally tucked into rubber boots to ensure no skin is exposed. The overalls are placed on top of the scrubs. These suits are similar to hazardous material (hazmat) suits worn in toxic environments. The team member supervising the process should check that the equipment is not damaged. A minimum two sets of gloves are required, covering the suit cuff. When putting on the gloves, care must be taken to ensure that no skin is exposed and that they are worn in such a way that any fluid on the sleeve will run off the suit and glove. Medical workers must change gloves between patients, performing thorough hand hygiene before donning a new pair. Heavy duty gloves are used whenever workers need to handle infectious waste. A waterproof apron is placed on top of the overalls as a final layer of protective clothing. Ebola health workers typically wear rubber boots, with the scrubs tucked into the footwear. If boots are unavailable, workers must wear closed, puncture and fluid-resistant shoes. Things looked rosy for the Reds when Juan Mata pounced on Antonio Valencia's deflected cross to give them an early lead from close range. But poor marking allowed Jack Rodwell - making his home debut - to head in Seb Larsson's corner after half an hour. To add to United's troubles, Ashley Young was booked for diving. The winger, criticised for going down too easily by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, fell in the area following a challenge from ex-United defender Wes Brown, and referee Martin Atkinson had no hesitation in reaching for his pocket. Before the match, Van Gaal said United would need a "miracle" to win the Premier League, and there was further evidence on Sunday to add weight to his gloomy prediction following last weekend's 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City. Media playback is not supported on this device The Dutchman, who took over in the summer, persisted with a 3-4-1-2 formation and, while his side look bright going forward, they remained fragile at the back. Angel Di Maria, the Real Madrid winger, is expected to arrive before the transfer window closes on 1 September for a British record fee, but Van Gaal may seek further reinforcements. Mata's 17th-minute strike failed to settle the visitors and their nervy backline was given a warning when Connor Wickham turned on a throw in yards of space and shot wide. United were exposed moments later when Rodwell, whose opportunities were limited at Manchester City before his summer move to the Stadium of Light, beat Valencia at the near post to power a header past David De Gea. Media playback is not supported on this device United, without ineligible new signing Marcos Rojo, lost defender Chris Smalling to a hamstring injury to add to an injury list that now features eight first-team players, including midfielder Ander Herrera. In a second half high on energy but low on quality, Wickham volleyed at youngster Tyler Blackett, who saw the ball rebound past De Gea's near post. Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone had to be quick off his line to deny Young as both sides pressed for a winner in a tense finale. The Black Cats have not beaten United in a Premier League match at home since 1997, but there were several positives for manager Gus Poyet after a vibrant performance. Winger Will Buckley, signed from Brighton in the summer, was a constant menace, while Rodwell's goal was a welcome reward for 63 minutes' action following his unsuccessful spell at Etihad Stadium. Sunderland manager Gus Poyet: "It was a good game to watch. We played a very good first half, going forward taking chances and creating half opportunities after conceding at what was the wrong time really because we were in control of the game. It was a big effort. "We made a few decisions on how to play against a different system and the boys have done exceptionally well. We showed that we were organised and difficult to play against. "The goal from Jack Rodwell was perfect for a home debut. There are plenty of positives. It's important we started better than last year and that was key. Will Buckley played well and was incisive as well." On Fabio Borini, the Liverpool target, who has been offered a Sunderland contract: "We're getting close to a final decision either way because it's been a bit too long. "It's time now that it's a 'yes' coming or a 'no' as we need to move on." Check out the best photos from Saturday's Premier League games on the BBC Sport Facebook page. The 31-year-old world number 309 birdied the first two holes and two of the last three to reach seven under with US Open champion Dustin Johnson. World number one Jason Day had six bogeys in a 76 and is eight shots back. The cut came at two over, one too many for England's Matthew Fitzpatrick, while Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell finished seven over after a 76. Johnson, the world number two who shared the overnight lead with List after an opening 66, had an early tee time on another hot, dry day at the Glen Abbey Golf Club. He started at the 10th hole and bogeyed the 11th, double-bogeyed 12 and bogeyed the par-five 13th but later compiled six birdies in nine holes in his 71. "The wind today almost feels like it's a little bit heavier and it's affecting the ball a little bit more, and it's a little bit different direction," said the long-hitting American, who was tied for ninth at last week's Open Championship. Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. List, who dropped three shots in four holes midway through his round, is in his ninth season on the PGA Tour and has yet to record a victory, but has secured two top-10 finishes this year. Two birdies at the par fives towards the end of the round kept him in contention and he said: "I'm real happy the way I finished up." Johnson and List have a one-shot advantage over a group of three including amateur Jared du Toit, bidding to become the first Canadian to win the event since 1954.

Bijan Ebrahimi was beaten to death and his body set alight on a Bristol estate amid false claims he was a paedophile. A BBC investigation has found he asked the city council on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis to find him a new home but was given an Asbo in 2010. The council said a report into the case was being published. Mr Ebrahimi, a council house tenant, suffered constant abuse at the hands of his neighbours and had already been moved from another part of the area. But the abuse continued at his final home in Capgrave Crescent, where he was killed by Lee James. The BBC has learned he was given an Asbo in 2010 as he was viewed as the nuisance, according to the IPCC. However, with the support of the SARI (Stand Against Racism & Inequality) charity in Bristol and the Avon and Bristol Law Centre, the Asbo was overturned. Bristol City Council insist that Mr Ebrahimi was issued with an injunction based on anti-social behaviour which they say was "set aside" when Mr Ebrahimi agreed to give "an undertaking to be of good behaviour". The BBC also spoke to one neighbour who supported Mr Ebrahimi in getting his Asbo lifted. The woman, who has declined to be named, said his repeated calls for help from the council were "ignored". She said he faced "death threats, his cat was abused and he had faeces left on his doorstep". "No action was ever taken against those residents," she said. She added that she felt scared living in this part of Brislington and was also affected by racism, with her daughter once threatened with a baseball bat. Bristol City Council says it is investigating its treatment of Mr Ebrahimi, an Iranian refugee. No report has been published since his death four years ago but the council said one would be released in the coming months. The council added it had not been able to talk about the report due to legal reasons. Mr Ebrahimi's family, who said the delay "could be seen by some as a cover-up", are considering taking a civil prosecution against the council. Last week, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said Mr Ebrahimi reported death threats and racial abuse for seven years. The report stated he had been treated "consistently differently from his neighbours" in what could be "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 Avon and Somerset force. Regarding the Asbo, the IPCC report states: "PC Duffy used his knowledge of Mr Ebrahimi and the latter's reports to the police, as the basis for a statement he wrote in September 2010 to support a Bristol City Council Anti-social Behaviour Order application against Mr Ebrahimi. "PC Duffy asserted that he had compiled the statement from his personal knowledge and from researching police computer systems. "From analysing this statement and comparing it with the information held by the force on its incident logs, it is apparent [in the opinion of the investigator] that, in short, PC Duffy misrepresented, was misleading about, and did not accurately reflect the contact between Mr Ebrahimi and the force between 2007 and 2010."

The augmented reality app was made by students and staff at De Montfort University working with historians. Users of the freely available software stand on a Leicester street, point a tablet computer at a building and see what stood there in Roman times. Developers hope to make versions for other cities and periods of history. Nick Higgett, who led the project, said: "The app acts like a window into the past and rather than stuffy text books it almost takes you back there to see what Roman Leicester was like." Mr Higgett and his team worked with historians from the Jewry Wall Museum - site of the former Roman baths - and experts from the University of Leicester, including Richard Buckley, who led the Richard III dig. As users walk the streets of modern-day Leicester, the app will alert them that an important building once stood here in Ratae Corieltauvorum - Roman Leicester. They then point the tablet towards the site and it will show the ancient monument in a 3D reproduction. It includes a temple, now underneath a hotel, and a villa beneath the John Lewis car park, as well as the complete baths, which is now part of the Jewry Wall museum. Some of the changes may well only be temporary but experts say that they should be taken into consideration when making money choices. Further, more fundamental, changes are expected when the UK negotiates the terms of its exit from the EU. In the intervening months, the health of the UK economy will be key. So, in the short term, this is what has changed: For every £100 exchanged by UK holidaymakers, they are receiving the equivalent of £9 less in euros or £12 less in US dollars now than they did before the vote. The fall in the value of the pound is the clearest change to our finances as a result of the referendum decision. The pound hit a 31-year low against the dollar on Monday. Many thousands of people who have saved for a retirement use these funds to buy an annuity - a regular income for the rest of their life. The rates available, in other words that income that can be bought from these savings, have been falling steadily over the last year. "The events of the past couple of days have given new momentum to that trend," said Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown. Two major providers cut annuity rates on Monday, with one reducing rates by about two percentage points. Buying an annuity is a one-off decision. Once an annuity is bought, then there is no going back, so timing is key, experts say. Uncertainty has created volatility in the markets - with the value of banks and some housebuilders being particularly badly hit. Investors may have seen the value of their portfolios fall, but clearly it depends on where they have put their money. For example, the price of gold hit a two-year high on Friday. The gold price often rises in times of uncertainty as it is viewed as a haven asset. Investments are long-term decisions, so they may recover their value in time. This is slightly more difficult to judge, but swap rates - which are often the precursor to changing mortgage rates - have been falling since the vote to leave the EU. If mortgage interest rates follow, then housebuyers and those remortgaging may see the cost of their monthly repayments become a bit cheaper. Rates have been at historically low levels in recent times, but lenders may decide that cheaper rates are needed to tempt what may be a smaller pool of first-time buyers, movers and those looking to remortgage. The view on the markets is that the housing sector, particularly in London, will be hit by uncertainty. Any fall in house prices would be welcomed by first-time buyers. The Petrol Retailers Association and the AA motoring organisation has warned drivers that a 2p to 3p increase in the cost of a litre of fuel should be expected by the end of the week. The latest figures from Experian Catalist show that there has only been a very slight rise over the weekend but, as wholesale fuel prices are quoted in dollars, the falling value of the pound means the cost at the pumps is likely to rise. And here are some fundamental factors affecting our personal finances that have not changed: Although protection is based on an EU agreed level, the first £75,000 of savings per person, per institution is protected and safe should a bank, building society or credit union go bust. The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee has not made any emergency change to the Bank rate which is at its record low of 0.5%. The committee next meets in the middle of July. Were there to be a cut, then borrowers could see better deals but savers could get lower returns. The opposite is true if the MPC decided to raise the Bank rate. The rate has been unchanged since 2009. HM Revenue and Customs has put a recorded message on its helpline stressing that taxes, tax credits and child benefits remain the same. "Everything is continuing as normal. No laws have changed," the message says. Cash machines have been kept topped up, according to Link - the network for the majority of the ATMs in the UK. "As far as we can see across the Link network, there is no evidence of a rush for cash and volumes and values are within normal ranges for this time of year," it said. "Compared to the same weekend last year Link volumes were down 4% and values by 6%, however poor weather, the European football championships, international rugby matches and month end being two days later in the week will probably have accounted for much of this change." The incident happened in the car park of Morrisons in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent, at about 00:05 BST on Friday. A pedestrian, aged 20, from Cwm, was taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales. Another man, also 20, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and later bailed. Gwent police appealed for witnesses. The two victims were overwhelmed by the current of the River Ungwasi, a police spokesman has told the BBC. It is not clear how the pastor and the other worshippers involved managed to survive, the BBC's Odeo Sirari says. They are members of a local church, Shalom, which is part of the charismatic Christian movement.

The ceremony is a symbol of washing away sin and the start of a new life. Mr Huppert, who was elected in 2010, lost to Labour's Daniel Zeichner by just 599 votes. Mr Huppert said: "We were attacked from the left, we were attacked from the right - and its taken its toll." Mr Zeichner said it was a "a huge privilege to represent the people of Cambridge" and pledged to "always strive for the best" for the city. Conservative candidate Chamali Fernando came third with 8,117 votes, and the Green Party's candidate Rupert Read came fourth with 4,109 votes. Elsewhere, Huntingdon, Peterborough, North West Cambridgeshire, South Cambridgeshire, South East Cambridgeshire and North East Cambridgeshire have all been held by the Conservatives. Mr Nuttall earlier admitted claims on his website that he had lost close friends in the 1989 tragedy were false. Lynda Roughley said she was "entirely responsible" for two press releases that were posted in 2011 and 2012. Hillsborough campaigners have accused Mr Nuttall of "insensitivity". Ms Roughley's comments follow a day of confusion in which Mr Nuttall, who is contesting the Stoke Central by-election, was forced to issue a statement clarifying his position and emphasise once again that he had witnessed the tragedy in person with his family. While he said he knew people who had died in the disaster, the MEP for the North West of England said he was "appalled" the impression had been given by the statements that he was personally close to any of the 96 victims who died in a crush at Hillsborough football stadium. He said he did not check press releases posted by an aide on the subject suggesting as much and was "very sorry" for the oversight. In her statement, Ms Roughley said she was "mortified" at the distress caused. "I am entirely responsible for the website post regarding Paul's comments about having 'close friends' who died at Hillsborough," she said. "Paul is a man of great integrity and would not say something he knew to be untrue. It's me who has made this mistake, and one I feel absolutely terrible about." The Sun reported that Ms Roughley's resignation had been turned down. Mr Nuttall was pressed about the posts on his website during an interview with Liverpool's Radio City station on Tuesday. In the first from August 2011, the Bootle-born politician urged the government to release files on the Hillsborough tragedy. He was quoted as saying: "Without them being made public we will never get to the bottom of that appalling tragedy when 96 Liverpool fans including close personal friends of mine lost their lives." In a second release published six months later, he was quoted as saying: "I lost close friends at the match and understand as well as anyone how deep the scars of that tragedy go." But during his radio interview, Mr Nuttall conceded the comments were inaccurate. "I haven't lost anyone who was a close personal friend," he said. "It was people I knew through football and things like that." The comments were "wrong" and had not "come from him", he added. In the statement issued a few hours later, he said that while he took responsibility for everything published in his name, he was "genuinely taken aback when this claim was brought to my attention and am both appalled and very sorry that an impression was given that was not accurate". The politician has long said he attended the match with his father and two uncles. But a recent article in the Guardian quoted a number of people - including an unnamed former classmate and two Labour politicians - questioning why he had not spoken about his experience. He later responded to questions about whether he was at the match by speaking in more detail of the effect the occasion had on him. "As a 12-year-old boy, I travelled to Sheffield that day, as did so many others, to enjoy watching the team that I loved," he said. "From the upper tier of the Leppings Lane End, I watched the events of that day unfold with horror... Like everybody connected to the Hillsborough disaster, memories of 15 April 1989 bring me nothing but pain and upset." But Hillsborough Family Support Group chairwoman Margaret Aspinall told LBC the website errors were "an insult" to people who did lose somebody on that day. And Barry Downside - whose son Christopher died in the tragedy - said the UKIP leader should have "known better". "It's insensitive. We are still awaiting the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service as to whether charges will be brought and we don't need this kind of thing." The approval is seen as proof of US visa policies quickly adapting to last week's historic Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. Traian Popov, who wed Julian Marsh in New York, may now apply for immigration benefits and a permanent resident visa. But their union is still not legal in the state of Florida, where they live. Last week the Supreme Court threw out a law banning gay couples from receiving benefits available to other couples. The justices ruled that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act discriminated against same-sex couples. Mr Marsh and Mr Popov were informed on Friday by Citizenship and Immigration Services that their green card petition had been approved, two days after the landmark ruling. Mr Popov is currently able to stay in the US on a student visa, as he is enrolled in college. But he would have had to leave the country once he graduated. The Department of Homeland Security could not confirm that their case was the first of its kind to be approved. Mr Marsh said it is still troubling that their union is not recognised in Florida. "They make you feel more and more like a second-class citizen, and they don't want you," he told the Associated Press news agency. "And that's how I feel about Florida." Mr Marsh explained that before last week's Supreme Court ruling, he and his husband had started to consider other options that would allow them to remain together, but they wanted to keep living in Fort Lauderdale. "We would like our marriage to be recognised even in a state where it wasn't performed," Mr Marsh added. There are about 36,000 same-sex couples in the US in which one partner is not a citizen, according to the non-profit immigration group Immigration Equality. Before last week's rulings, under the Defense of Marriage Act legally married same-sex couples were denied federal benefits available to opposite-sex couples. These include tax, health and pension benefits and family hospital visits. Robert Trigg, 52, of Worthing, denies the murder of Susan Nicholson and the manslaughter of Caroline Devlin. Lewes Crown Court heard Mr Trigg said he accidentally rolled on top of Ms Nicholson while she slept. Prosecuting, Duncan Atkinson QC said there were "significant similarities" between the deaths. Both women were subjected to violence by Mr Trigg, Mr Atkinson told the court. "Inquiries have revealed that the defendant has a history of behaviour towards other women with whom he has been in a relationship that shows him to have behaved in a possessive, controlling and jealous way," the prosecutor said. Jurors were told after one alleged outburst of aggression by Mr Trigg, Ms Devlin "prophetically" said "I won't be here for my 40th". The court heard Ms Devlin, a 35-year-old mother-of-four, was found dead in bed on Mothers' Day by one of her children at their home in Cranworth Road, Worthing, on 26 March 2006. Jurors were told the child went to ask what she wanted for breakfast but saw her naked body and believed she was asleep. Mr Atkinson said Mr Trigg had left the house but returned looking "dazed and being weird" before asking one of Ms Devlin's children to look at their mother as she lay upside down in bed with her head deep in the duvet. The alarm was then raised. At the time, a post-mortem examination recorded her death as being caused by an aneurysm, although there was no physical finding to support the conclusion, the jury heard. Mr Atkinson said police officers who attended believed her death was not suspicious, but added: "Clearly, those officers were not in possession of the full picture." Five years later, 52-year-old Susan Nicholson was found dead on a sofa the couple had slept on in Rowlands Road, Worthing, jurors heard. Mr Trigg, of Park Crescent, told emergency services he accidentally rolled on to her in his sleep, a theory considered plausible following post-mortem tests, the court was told. Jurors were told a neighbour, Hannah Cooper, described the relationship as "volatile and violent", with rows fuelled by alcohol and police called at least six times. Mr Atkinson said Mr Trigg had been cautioned in March 2011 for battery, in relation to a row with Ms Nicholson, who was punched in the face. On the morning of 17 April 2011, the court was told, Mr Trigg bought cigarettes and then called his brother, before he phoned Ms Cooper and said: "It's Sue, I think she'd dead." Jurors were told Ms Cooper dialled 999. Mr Atkinson said: "At the time, as had occurred with Ms Devlin, the police treated the defendant as a bereaved partner rather than a suspect." Jurors were told pathologist Dr Nathaniel Cary reassessed both cases and concluded Ms Nicholson was suffocated after having her head forced into the bed, while Ms Devlin's death was caused by a blow to the head. Dr Cary, in a review of the original pathology, said: "It is very unlikely that someone asleep on a sofa with another could cause death in the manner proposed by simply rolling on to them." Mr Atkinson highlighted similarities and said in both cases Mr Trigg was in a relationship with the women, that he and the women were intoxicated, that both died while he claimed they were asleep, and he did not dial 999. Later, a neighbour told the court Ms Devlin's personality changed noticeably after she started a relationship with Mr Trigg. Bridget Benger, a close friend of Ms Devlin, continued: "She became very withdrawn. She lost her spark and she seemed to drink a little bit more as well." She said Ms Devlin's eldest son had knocked on her door and said "we can't wake mummy" and she went round to find Mr Trigg at the bottom of the stair, appearing "vacant" and Ms Devlin face down on the bed. But under cross-examination, she also said Mr Trigg seemed to care for Ms Devlin and was openly affectionate towards her. The trial continues. Madagascar's government chartered a plane to evacuate her and 85 other women. The youngest of her four children, whom she left behind when he was six years old, played a key role in her evacuation, tracking her down via a welfare agency that rescues "slave maids", she says. Ms Baholiarisoa says she was trapped in "a living hell" after being duped into going to Lebanon. A recruiting agency had promised her a nursing job for three years, with a salary of $800 (£486) a month. Ms Baholiarisoa says she thought it would give her a chance to save money, which she could send to her children. But her dream was shattered the minute she touched down in Beirut. "It was a trap, because as soon as I got there they took away my papers and said my contract didn't mean anything," Ms Baholiarisoa says. "They said, 'Abeline, this is null and void.' For the next 15 years they shattered my life and the lives of my children." Ms Baholiarisoa says she was put to work as a maid with another Malagasy woman in the house of a rich couple with newborn triplets. "We didn't have time to eat or sleep - night and day. We didn't even have time to clean ourselves. "I worked 24 hours a day and received $160 a month. From this, I had to pay the lady of the house money for my food because they only gave us a quarter of a loaf of bread and some bits of fruit each day." Ms Baholiarisoa says she ran away from her first job after seven months and her second job after two years. But with no papers and no way to return home she was forced to accept maid jobs for 12 more years. Fabienne Marie Ange - a social worker with Madagascar's Union of Qualified Domestic Workers (SPDTS), which specialises in helping "slave maids" - says many of them are so traumatised that they do not even know where they are. "Sometimes in Lebanon the boss gives them drugs to keep them strong. They have to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they don't eat properly. It has an effect on their mental [health]," Ms Ange says. Ms Baholiarisoa says she refused her employer's attempts to give her pills for "stress", but she knew of people who ended up with an "empty brain" after taking them. "You become like a beast, like an animal made for work," she says. Some women are forced to work in Lebanon's clubs and streets as prostitutes, while some maids sell their bodies on the side just to pay for food, Ms Ange says. According to SPDTS President Noro Randimbiarison, some of the women have died in mysterious circumstances in Lebanon. When their bodies were eventually returned to Madagascar, it was discovered that several of them had missing organs. "Some families decided to open the coffin and found that the girl didn't have eyes, her eyes had been replaced by doll's eyes, or they didn't have a tongue or intestines or the heart. This really happens. It's real," says Ms Randimbiarison. Medical reports on the cause of death are vague - and some families have been told that the women committed suicide by jumping off tall buildings, she says. Ms Baholiarisoa claims women were pushed from windows, sometimes to cripple them just enough so they could not run away; others disappear, fuelling suspicion that they were killed. "We have no idea how many women have died out there or have gone mad because if you ask a boss where is his maid they say she ran off with someone and it's over," she says. "Where is the proof that she's run off and they haven't buried her in the courtyard? We don't have any proof." Madagascar's Minister of Population Nadine Ramaroson, the only government minister tackling the issue, says "a very organised network" involving senior government officials and businessmen emerged in the 1990s to engage in human trafficking. Government officials provide fraudulent work permits, travel and identity document for around $5,000 per trafficked woman, social workers say. Ms Ramaroson says the government is trying to break the criminal networks, but it is not easy. While one job agency flew 300 women to Jordan last month with the government's approval, 43 women bound for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were stopped from boarding planes. Ms Ramaroson said all were recruited from remote rural areas with high illiteracy and poverty levels. Some 16-year-old girls were given forged identity papers showing their age as 21. She said their contracts stated they would work in top institutions "when these girls don't even know what electricity is". Ms Baholiarisoa considers herself lucky. Given up for dead by her older children, her youngest child - now an adult - contacted SPDTS to help trace his mother. They picked up one of her many calls for repatriation at the consulate in Beirut, she says. Ms Baholiarisoa now helps SPDTS track down other women trying to escape Lebanon and to prevent other women from being duped into taking jobs in the Middle East. "If the madam at SPDTS hadn't taken me in with open arms I don't know what I would have done," she says. "It pains me that these girls are leaving because I know what awaits them, especially the beautiful ones." From the plane load of women rescued in March, Ms Baholiarisoa is the only one with a job. Some of the women have returned to discover husbands remarried and children adopted. Others, like Ms Baholiarisoa, have to rebuild relationships after much hurt and loss. The admission follows last week's revelation that it had falsified fuel economy data for four "minicar" models sold only in Japan. Regulations changed in 1991 to better reflect stop-start urban driving, but Mitsubishi failed to heed the change. "We should have switched, but it turns out we didn't," said Ryugo Nakao, executive vice-president. That meant many more models than the four minicars may have used fuel tests that did not comply with the regulations. Koji Yokomaku, another executive, said Mitsubishi had raised fuel economy targets five times in two years while developing the minicars, ending at 29.2 km (18.1 miles) a litre from an initial target of 26.4km a litre. Tetsuro Aikawa, Mitsubishi Motors' president, said an inquiry led by three external lawyers had been opened: "We don't know the whole picture and we are in the process of trying to determine that. I feel a great responsibility." More than 600,000 vehicles in Japan affected 157,000 Mitsubishi models 468,000 Nissan models 50% - the amount shares in Mitsubishi have fallen since the scandal erupted Shares fell a further 10% in Tokyo on Tuesday, bringing the slide since the scandal erupted to almost 50%. The inaccurate mileage tests revealed last week involved 157,000 of its eK wagon and eK Space, and 468,000 Dayz and Dayz Roox vehicles produced for Nissan. All were sold in Japan only. The main attraction of the "minicars", which have tiny 600cc engines, is their frugal fuel consumption and their tax breaks. Mileage fraud breaks Japan's fuel efficiency laws and possible penalties were unclear due to the uncertainties about the outcome of an investigation, the transport ministry said. Mitsubishi has stopped making and selling all four models. The company had repeatedly promised to come clean after a huge scandal 15 years ago that involved a systematic cover-up of vehicle defects. That affair brought the carmaker close to collapse and it was bailed out by other companies in the Mitsubishi Group. Doing so again could prove more difficult, however. Takehiko Kakiuchi, chief executive of Mitsubishi Corporation, said he was "aghast" at the scandal affecting its sister company. O'Brien will travel to the United Kingdom on Friday to see a specialist. The 29-year-old played just six games for Leinster this season, completing 80 minutes on just two occasions. He signed a three-year contract with the IRFU last December which will keep him at his native province until after the 2019 Rugby World Cup. At present, there is no indication as to when O'Brien will be able to play again. "It is too early to say if he can make it back by the start of the season. Initially, he got injured in Ireland's Six Nations game against France and it was a conservative approach in dealing with it," commented Leinster coach Leo Cullen. "Other guys have been able to rehab similar injuries without surgery, others have surgery straight away. "It was slower to heal than we would have liked but he broke down and we sought various opinions. It is frustrating but lots of players go through that in their career. He needs a plan in place to get back to the levels he wants. He is such a key figure for Ireland and Leinster." Another Leinster forward, prop Cian Healy, is unlikely to feature for the rest of the season as he is troubled by a knee problem. Full-back Rob Kearney misses the Pro12 semi-final against Ulster because of an ankle injury but Leinster say they are hopeful he will be available to play soon. Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt is unlikely to have winger Tommy Bowe available for selection for the summer tour after it was revealed last week that he is still struggling with his knee complaint. The pair were last month found to have breached the rules at Plumpton on 14 December and Towcester on 17 December. Best was found guilty of failing "to secure the best possible placing" and "conduct prejudicial to horseracing". John was found guilty of two counts of failing to run a horse on its merits. The British Horseracing Authority's disciplinary panel described Best as a "dishonest individual who corrupted a young man to ensure horses were not run on their merits" and said his behaviour was "reprehensible". Best and John faced the BHA panel over the performances of Echo Brava at Plumpton on 14 December and Missile Man at Towcester three days later. Both horses finished unplaced, with Best and John accused of failing to ensure they ran on their merits. John was banned for 14 days by the Plumpton stewards after being found guilty of failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure the best possible placing for Echo Brava. That was subsequently amended, with John charged with intentionally breaching the rules, prompting a further charge for Best. The conditional jockey, whose ban was backdated to 21 December and will expire on 19 May, told the disciplinary panel his former boss had told him to stop horses on two occasions. Adam Brickell, director of integrity, legal and risk for the BHA, said: "It is the responsibility of any trainer to act as guide and mentor to young jockeys who are attached to their yard. "No trainer can be allowed to abuse that relationship by pressurising jockeys to breach the rules and this is reflected in the sanctions incurred by Jim Best." Best's legal team has indicated he is likely to appeal against the decision, while John's lawyer Rory Mac Neice said: "The panel's decision reflects the courageous step taken by Mr John in deciding to tell the truth to the disciplinary panel." John can reapply for his licence on 20 May. The charge related to an incident which led to Huddersfield's Dean Whitehead being sent off during a 1-0 defeat at the John Smith's Stadium on 1 April. Whitehead was given a second yellow card after a clash with Tom Flanagan. Huddersfield have been handed a bigger fine after being punished for a similar incident against Leeds in February. The FA said players failed to conduct themselves "in an orderly fashion" around the 88th minute of the Championship match. Burton moved up to 19th thanks to Jackson Irvine's stoppage-time winner, four points off the relegation places. The man, named as Najim Laachraoui, 24, is still on the run. A statement said he had been using false ID and that his DNA had been found in houses used by the suspected jihadist network. Abdeslam was captured in Brussels on Friday and is still being interrogated. However, Belgium's federal prosecutor said he was "still far from solving the puzzle" of the Paris attacks. "We have quite a few pieces of the puzzle and in the last few days several pieces have found their place," Frederic Van Leeuw told journalists in Brussels. So-called Islamic State (IS) said it was behind the Paris attacks. In other developments: Salah Abdeslam's luck runs out Is Molenbeek a haven for Belgian jihadis? What happened during the Paris attacks? Who were the Paris attackers? The prosecutor's statement said that Abdeslam had travelled twice to the Hungarian capital Budapest, using a rental car last September. In the car were two other men, using fake Belgian identity cards with the names Samir Bouzid and Soufiane Kayal. Soufiane Kayal has now been identified as Laachraoui by DNA found at houses in the town of Auvelais and the Brussels district of Schaerbeek. "The investigation showed that Soufiane Kayal can be identified as Najim Laachraoui, born on 18 May 1991 and who travelled to Syria in February 2013," the statement said. Belgian police said Samir Bouzid was "most probably" Mohamed Belkaid. He was killed by a police sniper in a raid on a flat outside Brussels on 15 March. The prosecutor appealed for public help in finding Laachraoui. Also still sought is Mohamed Abrini, who was filmed at petrol stations with Abdeslam two days before the Paris attacks. Abdeslam's lawyer, Sven Mary, meanwhile told Belgian radio that his client appeared "relieved" that the hunt was over. Mr Mary said: "Salah wants to co-operate and he's done that since Saturday. Are we going to apply for the status [of informer]? He's never said he wants to be an informer. I've never said that he's asked for that." But Mr Mary added: "I have said that he can be of invaluable worth for different parties. He can give invaluable information for police as well as judges and lawyers. "The statements of the French prosecutor... could ensure that Abdeslam is scared off." Mr Mary was referring to comments over the weekend by Paris prosecutor Francois Molins that Abdeslam had admitted he wanted to blow himself up during the attacks, but then changed his mind. Mr Mary has filed a legal complaint against the prosecutor for violating secrecy. Mr Mary also said he would continue to fight a transfer to France, but added: "Let's be quite clear. He's going to France - there is no single reason that he won't go to France. It'll be the investigating judge who decides when he goes." The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris says that for those who lost relatives in the attacks, relief at Salah Abdeslam's arrest is quickly turning to hunger for the information he might provide. "We hope [his arrest] will help us in the search for truth" read the message from one support group set up after the November attacks. But our correspondent says that Mr Hollande's first formal meeting with relatives comes amid recrimination that they were ignored for four months. Earlier this month, Georges Salines, who lost a daughter in the Bataclan theatre during the attack, said he had written to Francois Hollande to ask for such a meeting, but was "stunned" to be told that there was no time in the president's schedule. France has tightened security at its borders after the arrest of the man dubbed Europe's most-wanted fugitive. Mr Hollande has said that the number of people involved in the terrorist network is much larger than originally thought and that he wants Abdeslam transferred to France as soon as possible to face prosecution. Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders has suggested Abdeslam was preparing attacks in Brussels before he was arrested. The Belgian authorities have charged Abdeslam with terrorism offences. The 26-year-old French national, born in Belgium, spent four months on the run. Another man arrested at the same time as Salah Abdeslam, Monir Ahmed Alaaj, has also been charged with participation in terrorist murder and the activities of a terrorist group, Belgian prosecutors say. A spokeswoman said the party wanted to abolish the posts, objecting to the cost, "lack of accountability", and "politicisation" of the police. But she said Plaid would contest the elections in May to make the case for protecting community policing. Of the four Welsh commissioners, Labour and the Tories have one each, with two independents. "Plaid Cymru rejects the politicisation of our police forces, the lack of accountability of the Police and Crime Commissioners and the cost of the current system, which is why we believe the posts should be abolished," the spokeswoman said. "Plaid believes that policing should be devolved to the National Assembly for Wales, with more resources being put towards front line policing for the benefit of our communities. "In order to be able to make the case for protecting community policing we have decided to field candidates in this election in all police force areas throughout Wales." Candidates seeking Plaid Cymru nomination for the four posts in Wales will take part in hustings at the party's annual conference in Aberystwyth later in October. The commissioners have a range of powers including appointing the force's chief constable and setting the force budget, although they have no say over day-to-day policing decisions. The next elections will be held in May, on the same day as elections to the Welsh assembly. The Liberal Democrats, who also did not put up candidates in 2012, said they had not decided whether to do so in 2016. UKIP contested the election for one of the four Welsh posts - North Wales - in 2012. Media playback is not supported on this device The Saints striker pounced at the second attempt after keeper Michael McGovern pushed out his initial header. Championship visitors Norwich, who have won just once in seven games, did not manage a single shot on target. Saints will now host Premier League rivals Arsenal in the fourth round on Saturday, 28 January (17:30 GMT). Relive all of Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replays Saints have struggled for consistency since manager Claude Puel arrived from Nice last summer - which is perhaps not surprising given the Frenchman has made 187 changes to his starting XI in 32 games in charge. Despite the Premier League club hoping to arrest an alarming slide of one win in six matches, Puel was not afraid to show confidence in his young players for the visit of struggling Championship side Norwich. Four top-flight defeats on the bounce have been tempered somewhat by more positive cup results - the 2-2 draw at Carrow Road followed by a EFL Cup semi-final first-leg win against Liverpool. Yet it was not a surprise to see Puel - who has yet to name an identical starting XI in consecutive matches since arriving at St Mary's - ring the changes again. With the Premier League trip to Leicester and a return leg against the Reds looming, the Frenchman rested several experienced players and named a youthful starting XI that contained six club academy graduates with an average age of just 21 years and four months. The result was a disjointed performance in front of just 13,517 fans at the 32,500-capacity St Mary's Stadium. The hosts lacked the quality to be incisive against a Norwich side content to sit deep until some late pressure finally told when Republic of Ireland international Long scrambled in Sam McQueen's left-wing cross. Southampton were again without captain Jose Fonte, who has been left out since submitting a transfer request at the start of the month. West Ham are the latest club to have been linked with a move for the 33-year-old and Puel admitted after the game that Fonte could leave soon. "I think he has some opportunities: he studies these opportunities," Puel said. "And for Southampton it's the same. We will see if Jose leaves Southampton; we will see over the next few days." Norwich started life back in the Championship as one of the promotion favourites, backed heavily to finish in the top six and mount a challenge for an instant return to the Premier League. Everything appeared rosy when they lost just two of their opening 12 matches to set the early pace. But their season has disintegrated in the past few months. Canaries boss Alex Neil is taking the brunt of the blame for the malaise, with angry fans venting their frustrations at the Scotsman after the weekend defeat at the Championship's bottom club Rotherham. Neil's starting line-up made it clear the league is his priority, responding with eight changes to his side for the game at St Mary's ahead of Saturday's home game against Wolves. His side set up with a 5-4-1 formation that left Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty isolated on a rare start. And their lack of ambition - that almost appeared like a willingness to simply nullify Saints and take their chances with penalties - eventually saw them punished as Long's late strike continued their poor form. Southampton manager Claude Puel: "Our first half did not have a good enough rhythm, and it was important in the second half to control the game and the ball. "Of course, we should have scored before we did, but we prevented extra-time and this is important for the recovery of the players. "All the players kept a good attitude, with good concentration. We gave no chances to the opponent during the whole 90 minutes, and in the second half we had many opportunities. "We were perhaps unlucky, or not clinical enough, but the most important thing was to qualify." Norwich manager Alex Neil: "We set up to be nice and compact. I wouldn't necessarily say the result was fair but we wanted to create more. "We came with a gameplan to sit behind the ball. "We had all our midfielders suspended, injured or at the African Nations Cup. "I thought we applied ourselves well. I can't fault the boys for the effort." Match ends, Southampton 1, Norwich City 0.

Media playback is not supported on this device Uefa general secretary Infantino, 45, is one of five candidates looking to replace Sepp Blatter on 26 February. Blatter, 79, announced in June he would resign, amid a corruption scandal at world governing body Fifa. The FA had supported ex-Uefa president Michel Platini, who in December was banned from football for eight years. Media playback is not supported on this device Both he and Blatter - who was given the same punishment - are appealing. Fifa's ethics committee found Blatter and Platini had demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions over a payment made to Platini in 2011. Infantino, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne are vying to replace Blatter, who became Fifa president in 1998. Switzerland's Infantino and Sheikh Salman of Bahrain are frontrunners to win the election in Zurich. Speaking on the FA website, chairman Greg Dyke said: "We decided that we would back Gianni Infantino. "I spoke to every candidate either in person or on the phone. "We were impressed by Gianni. We were also impressed by Prince Ali but in the end we decided to go with the Uefa candidate." Last month, Infantino said he intended to include in his manifesto plans for a World Cup to be held in a whole region rather than one or two countries. Meanwhile, Dyke's proposals to reform the FA were also discussed at the board meeting on Wednesday and will be voted on in May. Dyke wants to modernise the organisation, but will stand down in the summer at the end of his four-year term because he believes his plans will be strongly opposed. BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway: "It was widely expected that the FA would back Infantino, but they did get their fingers burnt over Michel Platini - they backed him last summer before they even knew anybody else was in the race. "This time, they've been a bit more reticent, but good relations with Uefa are important to the FA, and they've gone for the man who stepped into Platini's shoes. "Infantino's camp are increasingly confident that he's got a good shot at winning the election. Voters are looking at the Swiss technocrat and wondering: 'Is he the safe choice?' Sheikh Salman has allegations hanging over his head that he was complicit in human rights abuses in Bahrain - which he vigorously denies. "It's going to be a very close vote." Frank Holmes helped broker a deal for Cardiff and Vale College to buy training business ACT and he is now aiding other colleges to follow suit. The merger changes how training and apprenticeships are delivered. "This has been going on for some time in England and we'll see more of it in Wales," said Mr Holmes. He said he was helping "progressive colleges" in Wales looking at "similar transactions not only in Wales but over the border". The partnership with ACT makes Cardiff and Vale College one of the top five in the UK with an income of £75m a year and 30,000 students enrolling annually. The number of training providers in Wales has risen since the financial crisis as the Welsh Government and European Union invested in skills and apprenticeships. The Welsh Government has committed to creating 100,000 new apprentices by 2021 and improvement in skills is seen as vital if Wales is to increase its productivity which currently "lags behind the rest of the UK", according to Mr Holmes. However, much of the funding of skills came from the European Union, so it is unclear to what extent that will be replaced when the UK leaves the EU. An Apprenticeship Levy - a tax on larger businesses to be spent on training - is being introduced by UK ministers and, while Wales will receive a proportion of that, the Welsh Government has not committed to spending it on skills. ACT managing director Andrew Cooksley, who helped grow his business to 350 employees since 1988, said their link with Cardiff and Vale College would give learners the best of private and public sector training expertise. Michael James, the chief executive of the Cardiff and Vale College Group, said no public money was used as the deal was financed by borrowing and college funds. He described it as a "bold move" but one that would pay for itself within a few years and allow them to invest in staff and students. Yet, for many delegates, the media and commentators on the fringe, the most interesting and talked about leader is still a "President in waiting", a man who wasn't even here in Lima. The uncertainties resulting from the chance in the US presidency are plenty: "What will become of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) now that Donald Trump has been elected?" "Will President-elect Trump commit the US to the same level of political and economic engagement with its allies in the region as before?" "Is Trump serious in his comments about slapping huge tariffs on Chinese goods entering the United States?" Of these - and many other as yet unknowable policy changes - the one with the broadest initial impact could be the TPP. The 12 nation trade agreement would have covered a collective population of 800 million people, accounting for 40% of world trade. Among the many countries that could potentially "lose out" if the TPP does not come into force in its present form is New Zealand. It's a country that does not have bilateral FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) with many other APEC members and would have benefited greatly, says its prime minister, John Key, from the lower tariffs and intellectual copyright provisions built into the agreement. Having spent the best part of eight years working with other member nations to get the TPP finalised, Mr Key is clearly frustrated, to say the least. The NZ prime minister still hopes that Donald Trump will drop or modify his objections to the TPP and that it can proceed with "a few cosmetic changes", but he knows that's a long shot. "It could be renamed the Trump Pacific Partnership. That might do the trick," joked Mr Key, but he's in no mood to abandon the idea of greater regional free trade. He concluded, "As leaders we will work with the incoming President [Trump]. We have a strong message that what we're doing works. We hope he's part of the programme but if he's not, we're going to carry on doing things." Beijing, which has borne the brunt of Mr Trump's most aggressive and egregious attacks in recent months is, ironically, best placed to capitalise if the President Elect kills off the TPP, because China was not part of the deal anyway. Premier Xi is not one to miss an opportunity and, sensing a temporary vacuum while Washington prevaricates, he's not standing around. "China will not shut its door to the outside world but will open them more," Mr Xi said in his keynote address to the Lima summit. Pledging to open China's markets even further and arguing that it should not be excluded from regional deals, simply because of its economic dominance, Premier Xi added, "Building a free trade area of the Asia-Pacific is a strategic initiative critical for long-term prosperity…. and it is regarded by the business community as the 'APEC dream". As APEC leaders gathered for their traditional family photograph (thankfully with only a simple Peruvian shawl each for adornation over their business suits, rather than the full national dress they're often obliged to wear at these events.) Barack Obama cast a rather forlorn figure, barely raising a smile. This has been a difficult week for the outgoing US leader, with many of his "legacy" achievements at home and abroad now under threat. The incoming president has vowed to unpick programmes from the TPP, to Obamacare to the Iran nuclear deal. The 21 APEC leaders issued their final declaration from Lima, promising to advance quality growth and human development. Peru's President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski repeated the mantra that this could only be achieved through free trade and that protectionism was a danger that must be avoided. Globalisation has not worked for everyone, far from it. Peru's economy has grown admirably in recent years but in the hills overlooking the capital there are plenty of reminders that rampant poverty still blights many countries in the region. People trying to run small business feel particularly aggrieved. "What we need is more, not less protection", Nestor Alayo told me in his one-bedroom, corrugated steel shack, high on the hillside where he makes clothes with his wife and two sons. "We're being hit by cheap imports from China", said Mr Alayo. Our raw material costs five times more than the stuff that comes from China." In his last words on foreign soil as the President of the United States, Barack Obama said he still believed the US was a force for good in the world, prepared to go where others feared to tread to maintain a way of life that helped maintain "global order". But as he exited stage right, tired, unsmiling and not looking back, Barack Obama was gone. His time on the international stage is almost up. What comes next, nobody knows for sure. For the first time tax credits and family benefits under Universal Credit will be limited to the first two children only. At the moment 870,000 families with more than two children claim tax credits, according to HMRC. Most working age benefits will be frozen for four years from 2016. Those claiming the working element of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) will see payments reduced, to match Job Seekers Allowance (JSA). The benefit cap will be reduced from £26,000 a year to £23,000 a year in London, and £20,000 in the rest of the country. And those aged between 18 and 21 will no longer necessarily receive Housing Benefit. Any family which has a third or subsequent child born after April 2017 will not qualify for Child Tax Credit, which amounts to up to £2,780 a year per child. This will also apply to families claiming Universal Credit for the first time after April 2017. However those who have been in receipt of tax credits or Universal Credit with an interruption of less than six months, will be protected. This change will not apply to Child Benefit. The income level at which you can claim tax credits will also go down. From April 2016 the income threshold will go down from £6,420 to £3,850, meaning that far fewer people will be eligible to claim. Anyone earning more than £3,850 will now have their income reduced more steeply. Previously claimants' income could also rise - the income rise disregard - by £5,000 a year. That disregard will now be cut to £2,500. The chancellor said that spending on tax credits would now return to the level it was at in 2007/2008. The changes are expected to save £5.37bn a year by 2019. Most working age benefits will be frozen for four years from April 2016. Since April 2013 they have been up-rated by 1% a year. This will include Job Seeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, some types of Housing Benefit, and Child Benefit. Pensions, Maternity Pay and disability benefits are excluded. The measure is expected to save £3.9bn a year. From April 2017, those out of work between the ages of 18 and 21 will not be automatically entitled to claim housing benefit. Parents whose children live with them will be excluded from this measure. Vulnerable groups will also be excluded, as will claimants who have been in continuous work for the preceding six months. This will save £35m a year from 2017. Currently those who claim the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG) element of ESA get £30 more than JSA. But from April 2017, new claimants judged fit for work-related activity will get the same as JSA. That is currently £73.10 for someone over the age of 25, or £57.90 for 18-24 year-olds. The WRAG element of ESA currently pays £103 a week. Latest figures suggest 492,000 people will be affected by the cut. The government estimates this will save £445m a year. The current benefit cap limits most payments to £26,000 a year, across the UK. From April 2017 that will be cut to £23,000 in London, and £20,000 elsewhere. Up to now 45% of households affected by the cap have been in London. Those who exceed the cap receive a cut to Housing Benefit. The benefits excluded from the cap include: Working Tax Credit, Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payments and the WRAG element of ESA. Up until February 2015, 58,700 families had their benefits cut as a result of the cap. That number is now likely to grow. The measure is expected to save £405m a year. As many as 300,000 fewer people are expected to be eligible for Universal Credit as a result of the changes. From April 2017, parents claiming Universal Credit will be expected to "prepare" for work when their youngest child is two years old. When the child is three, they will be expected to look for work. The chancellor also confirmed that higher earners will have to pay more in rent for social housing. Those earning more than £30,000 will have to make a bigger contribution if they live in council or housing association property. Anyone earning more than £40,000 in London will also have to pay more. However, for everybody, rents will be reduced by 1% a year for four years from 2016. It comes after the party's deputy leader, Nigel Dodds, ruled himself out of the race to succeed outgoing leader Peter Robinson. It is understood East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson is still considering whether to run for the position. Mr Robinson announced in November that he was standing down as party leader. In a tweet on Monday night, Mr Robinson said he had "received a valid nomination" from Mrs Foster for the post of DUP leader. "Arlene's nomination was submitted with the support of over 75% of those entitled to vote in the electoral college," he added. Earlier, Mr Dodds said he wanted to concentrate on his work as head of the party at Westminster. He backed Mrs Foster, the Northern Ireland finance minister, "to take the party and Northern Ireland forward". Nominations for the post of DUP leader close on Wednesday An election (if there is one) will take place on Thursday 17 December. He said he had always believed that he would only put his name forward for the leadership, if he were a member of the Stormont Assembly. He said he had gone on record to say that it would be a disadvantage to attempt to lead the DUP from Westminster. "I remain of the view that being at Westminster means I would not be able to devote the necessary day-to-day focus and time to the role of leader and, at the same time, properly and fully carry out my duties and responsibilities in the House of Commons," he said. "The work and the opportunities for Northern Ireland at Westminster have already grown significantly and especially recently as a result of the DUP's position in a House of Commons where the Government has such a small majority. "That work, and those opportunities, are only set to increase over the course of the five years of this parliamentary term." Mr Dodds said that in other circumstances, it would be "natural and a great honour to lead the party," however, in his circumstances, it would be "wrong" to put his own personal standing above what he believed were the best interests of the DUP. Mr Dodds says his priority has always been the party and the country - not himself - and his decision is true to that principle. The North Belfast MP says his choice was a difficult one. There was emotion in his voice as he told journalists it would be wrong to put his own personal standing above the best interests of the party. Read more It is believed Sammy Wilson is considering running for DUP leader, in light of Mr Dodds's decision. Last week, he ruled himself out but it is understood he is now reconsidering. He is expected to announce his decision on Tuesday. In November, Mr Robinson announced that he was to quit as Northern Ireland first minister and DUP leader after "stabilising" Stormont. Mr Dodds has had a long career with the DUP. He qualified in law with a first class degree from Cambridge but found his future in politics. In 1988, he was elected as the Lord Mayor of Belfast, at the age of 29. His political success and profile soon secured him a seat at the local assembly. He was then elected as an MP for North Belfast in 2001. Previously, he had spent time working in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and his wife, Diane, is currently one of Northern Ireland's three MEPs. The jury at the new inquests into the 96 deaths focused on the final movements of John Anderson, 62. Supporters who were near him on the terraces described how he was "crushed" against a barrier as the pressure in the crowd grew. One said he was shouting for help but eventually "he stopped shouting". Mr Anderson, known as Jack, worked as a security officer and went to the Liverpool versus Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-final with his son Brian and two friends. The jury heard they had difficulty getting into the ground from the Leppings Lane end and went in through an opened exit gate, which was opposite a tunnel leading into fenced enclosures behind the goal. The pair ended up standing in pen four when crushing began. Spectator Karl Mullee said he was wedged against a barrier with Mr Anderson next to him "in distress". He said: "His colour changed and he went down and people were screaming at me to do something. "I managed to grab his hand but I couldn't do anything." The jury heard how fans tried to resuscitate Mr Anderson on the terraces before carrying him out of the enclosure. They were seen in footage timed at 15:12 BST carrying him near a gate in the front fence. Mr Anderson Jr said fans lifted him out of pen four and into the West Stand above. After leaving the stand he "saw bodies outside" and "realised some people were dead", the jury heard. In a statement written on the night of the disaster, he said: "I was looking at the bodies to see if I could find my father and saw that he was in fact one of them. "I realised that he was dead and I identified him there and then to a police constable Hogg." In a recent statement, Mr Anderson has said his father was "almost the first person he saw" among the bodies at the back of the stand. Part of a statement by PC David Hogg was read out. He said he saw Mr Anderson Jr beside one of the bodies "sat supporting his arm". The statement added: "I went over to this man and advised him to seek medical attention, to which he replied 'I'm not going without my dad'." Earlier the inquests heard about the final movements of 18-year-old John McBrien. The inquests in Warrington, Cheshire resume on Friday. BBC News: Profiles of all those who died A 12-week consultation has begun into how all aspects of care home services are commissioned and delivered. Residents, their families and carers are being asked their views on service quality, choice and independence. A new commissioning model will then be made for more than 170 homes where the council commissions placements. "While satisfaction with services is generally high there is room for improvement," said Netta Meadows, Bristol City Council service director. "There is a general need for higher quality care provision and a wider understanding within homes that residents should be encouraged and supported to be as independent as possible." Donati, 35, has just ended his second spell at Bari in his native Italy. He featured for Celtic between 2007 and 2009, helping them win the Scottish Premier League in 2008. The former Italy Under-21 player could make his Accies debut in Saturday's Scottish League Cup match against St Mirren. Atalanta, AC Milan and Sampdoria are among the clubs Donati has served. Hamilton have also signed defenders Jack Breslin and Jordan McGregor, and taken Norwich City goalkeeper Remi Matthews on loan, in this summer's transfer window, Meanwhile, Northern Ireland keeper Michael McGovern, who is out of contract after two years with Accies, is expected to join Norwich, who are managed by former Hamilton boss Alex Neil. Playing their first League Cup game since 2008, Luton went ahead through Luke Rooney's penalty after Nathan Thompson handled in the area. Michael Smith then levelled from the spot, after Nathan Byrne was brought down by Andy Drury, before slotting home his second from inside the box. Former Swindon winger Rooney was sent off late on for a second booking. Luton Town boss John Still told BBC Three Counties Radio: Media playback is not supported on this device "They're a good side and they played very well. "I was really pleased with what we've done. We played a new system today which we wanted to try and which I was pleased with. "The performance was OK, I was quite happy. I've got no problems - I was happy with the game." Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire: Media playback is not supported on this device "The main thing we can take from the win is that we kept going and stuck to our principles. "Even though we were a goal down, we kept going and stuck to our beliefs. "It looked a dubious penalty but we kept passing the ball and we made Luton run. "In the end I thought we wore them out." Police said four Israelis were hurt in Tel Aviv before the suspected attacker was shot dead. Another three Israelis were wounded in East Jerusalem, northern Israel and the West Bank, Israeli officials said. Israeli forces targeting the house of a suspected attacker in the West Bank then shot dead a Palestinian as clashes began, Palestinian medics said. Nine Israeli police officers were also injured in the clashes, Israel's Channel 2 TV said. Four Israelis were shot or stabbed to death and three attackers killed in a series of attacks in the past week before Thursday's spate of stabbings. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said the country was facing a "wave of terror". At a news conference, he said: "The terrorist extremists won't achieve anything, we thwart them and we will win." The Israeli authorities have increased security in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and put in place temporary restrictions on Palestinian access to Jerusalem's Old City, in an effort to stop more attacks. In Tel Aviv on Thursday, a female soldier and three civilians were stabbed and lightly wounded with a screwdriver. The male assailant was then chased and shot dead by an air force officer, police said. The incident occurred across the road from the Kirya military compound. The mother of the soldier who was stabbed told the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth: "I saw the terrorist running up to my daughter and stabbing her. I started screaming and crying and I understand that this was a terrorist attack. "She sat on her gun so he couldn't steal it, and the other soldier ran after the terrorist. I'm in shock. I just spoke to her and she is traumatised." Shortly afterwards, a Palestinian stabbed and seriously wounded a man near the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba, close to the West Bank city of Hebron, the Israeli military said. The attacker fled the scene and Israeli forces were searching the area, it added. Hours earlier, a Jewish seminary student was seriously injured when he was stabbed in the neck by a Palestinian near a light rail station in the French Hill area of East Jerusalem, police said. The assailant then reportedly fled the scene after attacking a security guard at the station and attempting to steal his weapon. He was eventually apprehended, police said. Israeli security forces then shot dead a Palestinian man during clashes that erupted as they were moving towards the suspect's home, Palestinian medics said. In yet another attack later on Thursday, an Israeli soldier was stabbed by an attacker in the northern Israeli town of Afula, police said. They said the assailant - who was not identified - was arrested. Tensions between Israel and Palestinians have soared in the past couple of weeks, with the attacks on Israelis following clashes between troops and Palestinian youths at a flashpoint holy compound in East Jerusalem. Hundreds of Palestinians have been wounded and two shot dead, including a 13-year-old boy, in clashes with Israeli forces in the West Bank over the same period.

As Nigeria correspondent it certainly feels as if insecurity in the country is spiralling out of control. It is often hard to know which incidents to report on such is their frequency. This week, I had been planning to head to Benue state to look into the deadly communal clashes in that part of central Nigeria - to try to move beyond the alarming statistics to answer the hows and whys. There had been reports of more than 320 deaths there since March as villagers came under attack from heavily armed people described as nomadic herdsmen - and more than 1,000 have fled their homes from what appear to be well-armed militias. I would also like to get back to the oil-rich Niger Delta and find out whether throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at the former militants is really the answer to building long-term stability in an area where the guns once ruled. Since an amnesty in 2009, they have been given monthly salaries to stop them kidnapping oil workers and disrupting the country's vital oil production. But then bloody Monday got in the way. Of course the words "Abuja" and "bomb" together in the same sentence ring all kinds of alarm bells and the messages of condemnation and sympathy flooded in from all over the world. It was the capital that came under attack, but did the bombing of the packed bus station, which killed more than 70 people, really hit close to the seat of power? Not really. Let's face it, Nigeria's political elite are not seen queuing for buses in the rush hour. Nor are they seen selling bus tickets to earn a living like 23-year-old Abdullahi Mohammed; his father Mohammed Kinafa has still not found his first son's body. "I have concluded he is dead but after searching all the hospitals in Abuja, we have not found him," he said. Politicians from across the divide have visited the gory scene and appeared on TV in hospital with the bandaged, dazed victims who are all asking: "Why did they attack us?" President Jonathan Goodluck blamed the Boko Haram Islamist militant group for the attack and vowed that the country would overcome their insurgency, describing them as a "temporary problem". Nigerian students living in fear What is Nigeria's Boko Haram? But what about the north-east, where Boko Haram seem to operate with ease from bases in remote forests despite nearly a year of emergency rule in the area? In just the last three months there have been more than 1,500 killings in the north-east. Now Islamist militants are driving around in convoys abducting schoolchildren. Some distraught parents from Chibok have set off into the dangerous forest themselves to look for their daughters, about 100 of whom are still missing. It is not the first time schools have been targeted. Boko Haram - whose name means "Western education is forbidden" - frequently targets educational institutions. A school in Yobe state was hit in February with 29 boys butchered in their dormitory. The military has failed to bring peace to the north-east and with a divisive election looming next year the politicians struggle to even sit in the same room to work out how to stop all this carnage. But then their daughters do not go to remote boarding schools in Borno state. Maybe that is why they get accused of ignoring the bullets and bloodshed and focusing on the ballot box.

It has been a traumatic week for many Nigerians with a bomb explosion at a busy bus station in the capital followed on the same day by the abduction of teenage girls by suspected Islamist militants in the north-eastern town of Chibok.

Members of the pro-independence Academics for Yes group attacked what they called "marketised" higher education elsewhere in the UK. They argued independence was the best way for Scotland to avoid the imposition of tuition fees on students. Last year senior academics claimed a referendum "Yes" vote threatened scientific research in Scotland. Ahead of the 18 September referendum, about 60 academics signed up to the new pro-independence group, including Prof Bryan MacGregor, of Aberdeen University, and Glasgow University's Prof Murray Pittock. Launching the group in Glasgow, they said: "The SNP government is strongly committed to science and universities, seeing them not only as a beacon of status internationally, with five of our universities in the top 200 worldwide, but also as engines of economic growth and international co-operation." They continued: "Abolition of tuition fees and expansion of funded places linked to social justice and widening participation show a commitment to inheritance of a democratic intellect at odds with the increasingly marketised state of higher education provision elsewhere in the UK." The group said a "No" vote in the referendum would put Scottish universities at risk from UK public spending cuts and the policy of charging students in England up to £9,000 per year to study. "The main threats from 'No' are cuts in the Scottish block grant, loss of access to EU funding and overseas goodwill", the academics said. "Relentless reduction in public spending, current pressures to reduce university support in England even more and privatisation of English universities through fees will lead to reductions in the Barnett formula for public funding in Scotland." The UK government allows universities in England to charge up to £9,000 per year for undergraduate courses. Scotland does not charge fees to Scottish students, but those from elsewhere in the UK can be charged up to £9,000. Wales and Northern Ireland have capped the amount their students pay at £3,465 a year. Academics for Yes said they were concerned the current arrangement may not last. Currency 'advice' "Devolution provided some temporary relief from policies developed elsewhere in the UK; only independence can protect us in future and allow us to flourish," they said. Last November Prof Hugh Pennington of Aberdeen University, a member of the pro-union Academics Together, said devolution was delivering for Scotland's universities. A spokesman for the pro-Union Better Together campaign said of Academics for Yes: "Perhaps this new group will be able to advise the first minister on how to come up with a Plan B on currency." On 18 September voters in Scotland will be asked the Yes/No question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?" His first came from a catch and drive, and the forward put the ball against the base of the post for his second. Leicester had Graham Kitchener sin-binned for a deliberate knock-on, leading to a penalty try for the hosts. The visitors improved, Harry Thacker and Jono Kitto going over, but Ollie Devoto claimed a fourth Chiefs try. The only cloud over a dominant Exeter performance was a shoulder injury to centre Henry Slade, which forced the England international off in the first half. Waldrom has been the Premiership's leading try-scorer in the past two seasons, and his double against his former club took him to 45 from his last 68 appearances. Leicester's touchdowns came after a scoreless first half effort, though Richard Cockerill's side had some intense spells of pressure. Kitto's score came straight from kick-off, exploiting some poor defending, while Devoto crashed through after an inch-perfect pass for arguably the best try of the match. Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter told BBC Radio Devon: "I just feel really pleased for the players - the truth is, all they've really done in this last eight week block is sit down and be really honest about things. "What this season is going to end up like is now back in our hands - once you're in the top four it's for you to decide how the rest of the season goes - it's in our hands now, and that's how I want it to be. "Let's get excited about the things we want to achieve, we want to achieve a lot - we were in a Premiership final last year and we want to be champions one day." Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "It was a little bit frustrating and indisciplined in the first half and we gave away cheap field possession, turning the ball over too easily. "We came back pretty strongly in the second half and scored a couple, so that was encouraging, but I was disappointed by Thomas Waldrom's (second) try. I thought that he was held up - and they are big moments. "We've got a player at the bottom of the post and Waldrom is on top of him. The ball is not placed at the bottom of the post, so it's not a try. "I thought the referee had a really poor game, scrum he was poor, and refereed the two sets of mauls differently."

The death is being treated as 'unexplained'. Police officers closed a section of West North Street as inquiries were carried out. During the nine weeks to 2 January like-for-like sales were weaker, compared to the previous year. It blamed "warmer and wetter" weather across Europe before and over the Christmas period. However, parent company Associated British Foods, said that in the 16 weeks to 2 January Primark's total sales rose by 3%. Overall, AB Food's group revenue fell by 2% over the same time, with the company's agriculture businesses hit by lower commodity prices. AB Foods maintained its profit outlook for the year saying it expected a modest fall in operating profit as a result of the strong pound. In November, AB Foods reported a 30% fall in pre-tax annual profits to £717m following falls in food prices and significant currency movements. NSA Afan, based in Sandfields, Port Talbot, is being investigated by South Wales Police. A 35-year-old woman from the area has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of theft. A spokesman for the Welsh Government said it was "exploring ways to safeguard the provision of services". In a letter to councillors, Steven Phillips, the chief executive of Neath Port Talbot council, said the funding suspension "could have considerable consequences" for the delivery of Communities First services in the area. South Wales West AM Bethan Jenkins warned that 20 jobs could be lost if funding is not reinstated. The Welsh Government spokesman added: "It is important that we exercise our duty to protect taxpayers' money from potentially inappropriate use." That's how Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa described a huge forest fire that has swept through the centre of the country, leaving at least 64 people dead since Saturday. Wildfires are an annual menace in Portugal. More broke out there between 1993 and 2013 than in Spain, France, Italy or Greece, reported the European Environment Agency last year, despite the country's relatively small geographical size. Given that, was this year's tragedy preventable? Could Portugal have done anything more to save lives and minimise the damage? Just what makes Portugal such a tinderbox? Portugal, on Europe's south-western edge, is a warm country fanned by strong winds off the Atlantic. Scientists say climate change has had an impact, extending the "wildfire season" from two to five months. This year, the summer has got off to a hot start, with temperatures already exceeding 40C in areas, and this comes after a dry, warm spring. Portugal is one of the most heavily forested countries in Europe, but the vast majority of woodland - 85%, according to the World Forest Institute - is privately owned. Forest ownership is highly fragmented, with privately owned plots averaging only five hectares (12.7 acres). Lack of management of the forest is a key part of Portugal's problem. As rural populations have dwindled, many of these privately owned plots have been neglected, with brush and detritus accumulating - which become fuel for the flames when a fire breaks out. Much of the area in flames is dominated by eucalyptus, an Australian species introduced to Europe in the 18th Century but which really boomed in Portugal with the rise of paper industries in the mid-20th Century. It is one of the most profitable trees, but ecologists say eucalyptus sucks up rare groundwater and is bad for native plant and animal life. The sap-rich tree that now covers large parts of central and northern Portugal is also highly flammable. Eucalyptus lined route N-236, where 47 people died in their cars while trying to flee. The government's forest fire strategy - or lack of one - has come in for particular criticism in the local media. "What failed on Saturday? Everything, as it has done for decades" was the headline on one analysis on the Publico news site. It says the three prongs of the strategy - prevention, surveillance and detection, and response - are parcelled out among unco-ordinated agencies which blame each other when things go wrong. This it traces back to the government's failure to implement fully a forest fire protection plan proposed more than 10 years ago. That may have been compounded by Portugal's debt crisis, which precipitated a €78bn (then £68bn; $110bn) international bailout contingent on a programme of cuts and privatisation. The current emphasis is on the emergency response to outbreaks of fire, experts told the paper, rather than the longer-term territorial management that would lower risk and minimise the spread of the flames. The newspaper points to the lack of "safety lanes" creating a break between dwellings and forest that would enable firefighters to focus on fighting fires rather than evacuating people. Houses could be built with safe rooms where people could take shelter if forest fires drew near. Other observers have also criticised the latitude given to the forestry companies. "The plantations are allowed to plant up to the edge of the road, which is a crime, because if a tree falls over over it blocks the road and that's the end for everyone," Caleb Cluff, an Australian journalist who witnessed the fire, told the BBC's 5 live radio station. The government has vowed to examine communication and planning problems which could have contributed to the scale of the disaster. Critics say the lack of a modernised warning system - for instance, an SMS text alert system or mobile phone alert apps - meant local people were not fully informed and began acting on instinct. Communication problems even extended to the emergency services, which found themselves unable to communicate after the emergency network phone masts burned down. Some firefighters also spoke of a lack of equipment. "We've been forgotten here. We didn't have a single piece of aerial equipment," volunteer firefighter manager Baltazar Lopes told Euronews. "Corpses have been on the ground for too long before being removed. After this catastrophe we must think seriously about and change the civil protection authorities." Susan Shepherd was pulled from the rubble of her home in Rosslyn Avenue, Sunderland, following the explosion on Friday morning. The semi-detached was flattened by the blast and a neighbouring property was heavily damaged. Tracy Tia Judson said her sister, who is in her 50s, suffered minor burns and was able to talk to ambulance staff. Writing on Facebook, Ms Judson said: "The fridge fell on top of her and saved her life, she's absolutely fine under the circumstances, she's got minor burns to her back, face and arms and her hip might need stitching." Police, gas engineers, fire crews, paramedics and the air ambulance were all called to the scene just after 08:50 BST. Search specialists with dogs were also there to make sure there were no trapped casualties. Residents who had been evacuated have now been allowed home, Northumbria Police said. Neighbour Tracey Pounder, 51, said: "I heard an almighty bang. I went upstairs and you could see dust rising. "Half of the semi has gone and next door is wrecked. I came down to see what was happening and it is a complete shock." Sean Hughes, 40, heard the explosion more than a mile away. He said: "I saw the window move and the house shook." Fire crews arriving at the scene took risks to enter the flattened property and did a "cracking job" assisted by ambulance crews, a senior officer said. Bill Forster, of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, said: "The walls of the building have collapsed and the upper sections of the building have come down and the lady was trapped beneath that rubble." Police said the blast was caused by a gas explosion. A spokesman added: "It is now understood that the incident occurred as a result of a gas explosion and there was no third party involvement." This is the level, according to the Bank, "below which it cannot be set" - the lowest practicable official interest rate. But on this important issue the website is behind the thinking of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, which sets Bank Rate as its main tool to keep inflation on target. Because just over a month ago, the Bank's governor said that if low inflation were to begin to depress expectations of inflation and wage growth, the MPC could "cut Bank Rate further towards zero". And with inflation well below the 2% target at zero, the Bank's chief economist, Andy Haldane, has said - as a personal rather than institutional view - that there is a meaningful chance that Bank Rate will be cut. So what has happened to demonstrate to the Bank that 0.5% is not the practicable minimum? Partly it is the example of central banks - the European Central Bank and those of Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark - whose official rates are negative: banks that place funds with them are having interest deducted from their deposits, rather than receiving interest. Their rates are less than zero. The other contributor to the fall in the effective lower bound is the recovery of Britain's banks. This matters because the nearer Bank Rate approaches zero, the bigger the squeeze on the profits banks earn from borrowing and lending. Think of it this way. Competition between banks should bring down the interest rate on loans when Bank Rate is cut towards zero. But savings rates would be kept by competition above zero. So the gap between the interest rate paid and received by banks would narrow: the profits on this most basic of banking activities would fall. Also the windfall received by banks from all those interest-free deposits the banks hold would be significantly cut. The thing is that in March 2009 when Bank Rate was reduced to its record low of 0.5%, the Bank of England figured banks needed to rebuild their capital and strength by generating a certain level of profit on lending and borrowing. So it matters that Mark Carney now reckons the banks can cope with the profit squeeze that would come from a reduction in Bank Rate. That said, if the Monetary Policy Committee were to decide that a Bank Rate cut is necessary, the Bank could not be confident that all banks and building societies would sail on untroubled. Small uncomplicated banks and building societies, very reliant on borrowing and lending rather than fees and revenue from other activities, might not look desperately viable. Which carries an important industrial implication. If the worst happened - deflation and prolonged economic stagnation - which necessitated years of zero or negative interest rates, it is difficult to see how the British tradition of "free" in-credit banking could survive (though proper deflation would have much more serious consequences than that). The horse, named Honey, had its ear cut off in the attack in a field in Potters Lane, Syston, Leicestershire, on 7 September. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) said it was "imperative" those responsible were caught. The animal rights organisation is offering a £2,000 reward. Peta spokesperson Elisa Allen said: "Animal abusers are a danger to everyone - they take their issues out on whoever is available to them, human or non-human, and must be caught before they act again." Honey's owner Claire Watts described the attack on her two-year-old horse as "horrific" and is warning other owners to be vigilant. The RSPCA said: "This is a particularly distressing incident where a horse has been killed after enduring a vicious attack." Three other horses in the same field were unhurt. Police said one car collided near Cottam power station, Nottinghamshire, at about 23:50 BST on Saturday. The driver died at the scene and four passengers were taken to the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield "with varying injuries", officers said. Road closures had been in place but the force said Outgang Lane and Cottam Road reopened at about 14:00 BST on Sunday. The Edward Henry, with eight crew on board, called for help after it was hit by a wave which struck its bridge and was flooded about 40 miles west of Shetland. The RNLI's Aith lifeboat launched at about 20:20 and a coastguard helicopter was standing by. The plan to attach a line onboard and tow the vessel back to Shetland. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it was trying to trace relatives so they would be able to attend their burial service in Berlin on 27 April. Three were on Lancaster JB640, which took off on 2 January 1944. The other three men were part of a seven-man crew on Halifax LK709, which failed to return from a bombing raid on Berlin on 28 January 1944. The Lancaster crew set off for the German capital on the night of 2 January, but was never heard from again. All were listed as missing, presumed dead. The squadron had intended to fly 18 Pathfinder Lancasters but only 14 took off and one of those had to turn back due to engine failure. The three men on Halifax LK709 were recorded as having no known grave and their names placed on the Runnymede memorial. Eyewitnesses in Germany remembered seeing a Halifax Bomber crashing into a lake on 29 January 1944 and four bodies were subsequently recovered. A second charge brought by the SFA, that he failed to act in the "best interests of association football", was found to be "not proved". Ashley, who owns 8.92% of Rangers's shares, has loaned the club cash. Rangers will appear at a hearing on 16 March to answer three charges. Media playback is not supported on this device The SFA alleges that they have violated dual ownership rules and are not acting in the "best interests of association football". In December, the SFA refused to allow the Sports Direct owner to increase his stake in Rangers International Football Club to 29.9%. He had previously signed an agreement that limited his shareholding to 10%. However, Ashley has made cash loans to the cash-strapped Scottish Championship club, holds commercial contracts and has two close business associates, Derek Llambias and Barry Leach, operating as chief executive and finance director, respectively, on the Ibrox board. However, their time in those positions looks to be coming to an end, with Rangers investor in his bid to oust the current board, even before voting takes place at an extraordinary general meeting at Ibrox on Friday. James Easdale and chairman David Somers have already resigned, leaving Llambias and Leach hanging on to their posts. In January, with bills to pay, the Rangers board agreed to borrow £10m from Ashley's Sports Direct, £5m of which was made available as immediate working capital and to repay a previous £3m loan made by Ashley. For this, Ashley took security over the club's Murray Park training ground at Auchenhowie, registered trademarks and other properties, but not Ibrox Stadium. Last month, Rangers manager Kenny McDowall said that he was told by Llambias and chairman of the football board Sandy Easdale that the five players loaned to the club from Newcastle must start every game, if fit. Llambias moved swiftly to deny the claim that the boardroom had any influence over team selections. The SFA's judicial panel met on Monday evening to assess the case against Ashley but failed to come to a conclusion. But on Tuesday afternoon it announced it found that he had broken disciplinary rule 19, meaning that, while he owns Newcastle, he had also influenced the running of Rangers. However, the SFA say "the alleged breach was not proved" relating to disciplinary rule 77, which states that "a recognised football body, club, official, team official, other member of team staff, player, match official or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall, at all times, act in the best interests of Association Football". An hour after the SFA announced Ashley's fine, the club released a statement to say they have begun the process of drawing down the second chunk of the £10m loan from the English businessman. But in an announcement to the Stock Exchange the board warn that Sports Direct could be unwilling to release the funds, which they say are required by the third week of March. Andrew Chan married Febyanti Herewila on Monday in a ceremony attended by family and friends. Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, also Australian, were convicted in 2006. The two, along with six other foreigners and an Indonesian, could be executed by firing squad as early as Tuesday. They were formally notified on Saturday that they would be executed. Under Indonesian law, convicts must be given 72 hours' notice of execution. A French drug trafficker is appealing against his conviction. Who are the 10 facing execution? Andrew Chan's brother, Michael, told reporters about his brother's marriage after visiting him on the Nusakambangan prison island. "It was an enjoyable moment," he said. "It's tough times, but happy times at the same time." "Hopefully the [Indonesian President Joko Widodo] will still show some compassion, some mercy - so these two young people can carry on with their lives," he added. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop earlier made last-minute pleas to delay the execution of its two nationals until a corruption investigation into their case was complete. But Indonesia's attorney general later confirmed that the nine death row convicts would be executed as planned, without giving an indication of when the executions would be likely to take place. Attorney General HM Prasetyo told the BBC a judicial review "could not amend [a] previous court ruling" and that "foreigners do not have any legal standing for a judicial review on the Constitutional Court". Claims that the Indonesian judges in the trial had asked for bribes for lighter sentences first surfaced earlier this year. One of the judges involved in the case denied there had been political interference or negotiations about bribes. "I can assure you there was none," the judge told Fairfax Media. "We protected ourselves from everybody. It was purely our decision." Chan and Sukumaran, along with seven other Australians, were arrested in Bali in 2005 for trying to smuggle more than 18lb (8.3kg) of heroin from Indonesia to Australia. The pair were later found to be the ringleaders of the group and sentenced to death. The other seven members of the "Bali Nine" are currently serving either life or 20 years in prison. Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world and ended a four-year moratorium on executions in 2013. A number of people were injured during the annual rally organised by far-right and nationalist movements. The violence started when groups of youths broke off from the main march to attack a squat and set fires to cars. They also set ablaze a rainbow-coloured arch symbolising tolerance, and tried to attack the Russian embassy. The protesters - many of them wearing masks - threw firecrackers at the diplomatic mission. Several youths also tried to scale the building's fence but were stopped by the police. "There is no justification for hooliganism," Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Marcin Wojciechowski said. The authorities also said that at least four police officers were among those injured during the violence. Thousands of people took part in the main march, which began noisily but peacefully. They carried white-and-red Polish flags and chanted: "God, honour, fatherland!" For the third year in a row violence broke out during the march, the BBC's Adam Easton reports. The rally commemorates the day Poland regained its independence at the end of World War One in 1918. Before that, Poland had been carved up between Russia, Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian empire. The question asks readers to guess the birthday of a girl called Cheryl using the minimal clues she gives to her friends, Albert and Bernard. Cheryl's Birthday was initially reported to be an examination question for 11-year-olds. Students stressed by tough examinations is a perennial issue here, and Cheryl's Birthday reignited concerns that the education system was too challenging. But it later emerged it was for students aged about 15 taking part in last week's Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiads (Sasmo). Organisers said the test was aimed at the top 40% and aimed to "sift out the better students", adding it was "important to clarify so that Singapore parents will not start to worry so much". Kenneth Kong, who first posted the problem, told the BBC: "It's a really difficult question for younger kids, so that's why people were so shocked at first... but now that people know it's for older students, they just think it's quirky." Sasmo's executive director Henry Ong defended the question, saying there was "a place for some kind of logical and analytical thinking in the workplace and in our daily lives". "We are not saying this problem is for every student... But if these kind of problems can be used to stretch the better students to sharpen their analytical power, why not?" The question, which has been shared around the world, sparked a Twitter hashtag #cherylsbirthday and even a music track. "After spending so much time together, thinking of Cheryl's birthdate, Albert and Bernard soon fell in love with each other and forgot all about Cheryl," said Elfy Bianca Hassan on Mr Kong's page. "Dump her. Find other girls," suggested Nicholas Lim. Others took umbrage at the wording. "I hope people picked up that the person who set the question needs to go for English grammar classes - there are at least two grammar errors," said Clarence Singam-Zhou. So when is Cheryl's birthday? The answer is 16 July, said Sasmo which posted the correct solution. Sasmo also dismissed an "alternative solution" which resulted in 17 August. Their rejection was that "since Bernard did not say that he does not know when Cheryl's birthday is, then how did Albert know that Bernard does not know?" Problem solved. Serch hynny, mae'n ymddangos fod nifer o eglwysi ar yr ynys yn amharod i gydweithio, ac o ganlyniad i hynny, mae llawer o gapeli yn cau. Mae pedwar capel wedi cau yn barod eleni ac mae yna drafodaethau ynglŷn â dyfodol pump arall. Mae un o bwyllgorau'r Henaduriaeth wedi annog eglwysi i dalu ar y cyd i gael gweinidog, ond mae aelodau rhai capeli eisoes wedi pleidleisio i wrthod gwneud hynny. Mewn un gornel o Ynys Môn sydd, mae pedwar capel wedi cau eleni - Llanfaethlu, Llanfechell, Porth Amlwch a Phen Gorffwysfa - a'r pryder yw y bydd rhagor yn dilyn. Er hynny, cyndyn ydi'r ffyddloniaid i gydweithio efo capeli eraill cyfagos i wynebu'r dyfodol. Ond mae rhai capeli yn llwyddo oherwydd gweledigaeth radical rhai o'r aelodau. Ym Modffordd, codwyd capel newydd sbon yn 2010, ond mae'r blaenor yno Elis Wyn Roberts yn dweud fod yna geidwadaeth o fewn yr eglwysi sy'n mygu datblygiad. "Mae'r waliau a'r mortar a'r cerrig yn cael mwy o sylw nag ydi gwaith yr Arglwydd Iesu Grist," meddai. "Rydan ni'n aros yn ein hunfan, mae rhaid i ni roi mwy o gyfle i'n pobol ifanc a rhaid i ni gael gweithwyr ifanc ac mae rhaid i ni'r bobol hyn dderbyn hynny .... mae'r adeiladau yna ond mae rhaid eu newid nhw." Daeth cais i aelodau capel Lon y Felin, Llangefni i dalu ar y cyd am weinidog hefo capeli yn Llanfairpwll a Gaerwen, ond mi ddaru tri chwarter aelodau'r capel bleidleisio i wrthod cydweithredu, penderfyniad oedd yn siom i ysgrifennydd yr eglwys Ken Hughes. Y gost ychwanegol oedd yn poeni'r aelodau medda fo. "Dwi'n meddwl y buasen ni wedi medru cael gweinidog petae ni wedi aberthu rhywfaint, mater o flaenoriaethau ydi o. Mae'r penderfyniad yn fy nhristau fi," dywedodd. Mae pob aelod o'r Presbyteriaid yn talu £139 i'r swyddfa yng Nghaerdydd os oes gweinidog yn eu heglwys, £91 os nad oes, ac mae rhai yn cwestiynu pam fod angen talu o gwbwl, ac y gellid defnyddio'r arian i gynnal achosion yn lleol. Mae Walter Glyn Davies yn flaenor yng nghapel Rehoboth, Burwen ger Amlwch. "Mi faswn i, a dwi'n un o lawer, yn licio gwbod be sy'n digwydd i'n harian ni sy'n mynd i Gaerdydd bell," meddai. "Petae'r swyddfa yng Nghaerdydd yn cau fory nesa, barn yr aelodau ydi y buasai gwasanaeth yn y capeli y bore wedyn 'run fath yn union. Mae yna deimladau cryf iawn fod Caerdydd yn sugno arian." Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y Presbyteriaid: "Yr ydym yn deall fod Henaduriaeth Môn wedi cynnal nifer o gyfarfodydd yn ddiweddar i geisio ymateb i realiti ystadegol a demograffaidd ein heglwysi ar yr ynys. "Cafwyd sgyrsiau calonogol, a gobeithio y bydd arweinwyr yr eglwysi lleol yn perchnogi y trafodaeth a'r awgrymiadau.

The move from Fiat Chrysler, Honda and BMW comes after Takata Corp, the Japanese airbag maker last week said the number of vehicles affected was 53 million globally. Of that figure, 34 million are in the US, making it the country's largest ever recall of cars. The faulty airbags, when exposed to too much moisture, can explode. Regulators have linked the problem to six deaths worldwide, all in Honda vehicles. Honda has called back about 690,000 cars in the US and Japan. Since 2008, Honda has recalled about 20 million vehicles around the world with Takata air bag parts. Fiat Chrysler announced an expansion of its recalls of vehicles with Takata air bags to about 5.22 million worldwide, involving models from 2003 to 2011. About 4.5 million of those vehicles are in the US. Most of the vehicles have been involved in previous recalls and are from the 2003 to 2011 model years, the car maker said. BMW in North America is recalling 20 models from 2002 to 2006 that contain Takata driver-side front air bags. Regulators said the air bag module will be replaced. All of the complaints have been made within the past week. Last week, the Orange Order has said the painting was a "deliberate demonisation of its cultural heritage". On Monday, a delegation of DUP MLAs met staff from National Museums Northern Ireland (NMNI), including its acting chief executive Jude Helliker. The DUP delegation included North Belfast assembly members William Humphrey and Nelson McCausland. Christian Flautists Outside St Patrick's, by the late Belfast artist Joseph McWilliams, is being shown as part of the Royal Ulster Academy's annual exhibition. After the meeting, NMNI said in a statement that it "welcomed the opportunity to listen to their concerns and engage in dialogue". "We have taken steps to acknowledge that some have found the painting offensive and, last week, we placed a sign at the entrances to the gallery," it added. The sign, situated at the entrance to the exhibition on the museum's fifth floor, reads: "Visitors may find some images in this exhibition thought-provoking, controversial and potentially offensive." The DUP's William Humphrey said they had not reached "a meeting of minds" with the museum representatives during the meeting, but it was "important that we set out clearly our strong concerns". He said the painting was based on an actual event, and he had been contacted by a constituent who was "appalled that he and members of his family are being depicted in this painting as being members of the Ku Klux Klan". He said the museum had "acknowledged that there is a problem by erecting warning signs", but his party was "deeply disappointed that this derogatory painting will remain on display". The Royal Ulster Academy exhibition has been running at the Ulster Museum since 16 October. More than 35,000 people have visited the museum in that period, with about 4,000 visiting over the past weekend. The painting has already been purchased by a private collector, but will hang in the museum until the exhibition concludes. The artwork at Clavell Tower, Kimmeridge Bay, appears to have been sheared off at the ankles. Sir Antony said he was "thrilled" when the sculpture toppled into the sea in September, calling it proof of its "dynamic relationship with... nature". The life-size figure was part of a commission entitled "Land". It was created to mark 50 years of UK building conservation charity Landmark Trust. John Bickerton, owner of Lulworth House B&B, found the statue during a walk with his family on Saturday. He said: "We were sprinkling my mother's ashes on the far side of the bay before going round to take a family picture with the sculpture. "We quickly realised it wasn't standing and when we got there could see it had sheared off at its thinnest point - the ankles. This time it looks like it might be fatal." The BBC has asked the Landmark Trust to comment. They were appearing in a BBC Scotland election debate in front of a specially invited studio audience. It came ahead of seven party leaders from across the UK taking part in a live ITV debate on Thursday evening. And the forthcoming general election is also expected to dominate the last first minister's questions at Holyrood before the Easter recess. The Scotland 2015 programme's Poverty Debate, which was broadcast on BBC2 Scotland on Wednesday evening, saw senior figures from the SNP, Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Scottish Greens face questions on topics including foodbanks, welfare sanctions, the living wage and childcare. They were appearing before an audience largely comprised of people who work with those in poverty, or who are themselves affected by poverty. About a million people in Scotland - or a fifth of the total population - are said to be living in poverty, with nearly half of those living in households where at least one person is working. Responding to a question about why thousands of people in Scotland rely on foodbanks when the UK is said to be one of the wealthiest nations in the world, Scottish Social Justice Secretary Alex Neil said it pointed to a "real contradiction" in the country. The SNP politician said: "We are the fourth or fifth richest nation in the world and yet we have some of the worst levels of poverty in the whole of Europe, and indeed in the western world." Mr Neil said the poverty problem started with Margaret Thatcher and had continued with subsequent prime ministers such as Tony Blair, who he claimed had "made poverty worse as well", and said governments in both London and Edinburgh should have a firm commitment to ending poverty, not just reducing or mitigating it. Scottish Conservative MSP Mary Scanlon said the UK had the fastest-growing economy in the western world, and that per head of population there were more foodbanks in Germany than in either Scotland or the UK. But she conceded: "That is no excuse. There is still a long way to go to address poverty. I have been on benefits myself, I have been a single parent of children one and two years old, I have been there and I have never forgotten about being there. It is hard and you do need help from government." Ms Scanlon said that, while there was no magic solution to poverty, she would like to see resources focused on early years and childcare, and called on governments to do more to tackle mental health issues by treating people in poverty with respect and dignity and giving them the support they needed. Scottish Labour's social justice spokesman Ken Macintosh said foodbanks were "actually a sign of hope", because they reflected the generosity and compassion of people in Scotland. His comment was met with an angry response from some people in the audience, with one man saying: "It is actually a sign of desperation rather than hope. It really is shameful. People don't go to foodbanks for hope." Mr Macintosh then clarified that he believed food poverty was shameful, while foodbanks themselves were "a sign that we care for each other". He added: "I would like to see an end to the need for foodbanks, I want to see an end to food poverty, and that means putting money in people's pockets. There are things we could do right here, right now in Scotland. We could do more to tackle poverty wages in Scotland." Katy Gordon, the vice-convenor of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, said the big challenge was one of income. She said: "What the Liberal Democrats have achieved in government is to give as much money back in terms of tax cuts to those on low and middle incomes to make sure that pensioners are protected by having a triple lock on pensions so that the pensions are always going up. "So it is about making sure that the money that people are getting, more of it they get to keep to spend." The fifth member of the panel, Scottish Greens co-convenor Patrick Harvie, predicted that many people would feel a "great deal of weariness" when they heard the answers of his rivals. He said: "How wealthy your country is overall is not the same as how fairly that wealth is shared, and we focus too much in this society on averages. GDP growth is one good example - it just tells you how much money is swilling around, it doesn't tell you in whose interests it is working. "If we want a fairer society we have to share our wealth more equally." Meanwhile, Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon is preparing to face six other party leaders, including Prime Minister David Cameron, Labour's Ed Miliband and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, in a two-hour live general election debate to be screened on ITV from 20:00 on Thursday. The debate, which will be given extensive live coverage by other media outlets including the BBC, will also feature Green Party leader Natalie Bennett, Nigel Farage of UKIP and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood. Speaking ahead of the debate, Ms Sturgeon said it marked an opportunity to break out of the traditional two-party politics of Westminster and ensure "real progressive voices" could be heard. Elsewhere on the campaign trail ahead of the election on 7 May, Labour will say their tax plans can release £1bn over five years which could go to the NHS in Scotland. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie will argue that his is the only party that stands for local business success. And the Scottish Conservatives will argue that the election is a choice between "economic stability and constitutional chaos", with their party offering the former. What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election? Policy guide: Where the parties stand Emergency services were called to the River Nith in the town at about 14:00 on Tuesday. A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Around 2pm on Tuesday July 25 2017, a body was recovered from the River Nith near to East Riverside Drive in Dumfries. "Inquiries are at an early stage." Pearl D'Souza, 38, also known as Pearl Ivy Thomas, was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court. In September, she had pleaded guilty to three charges of attempted murder. D'Souza had tried to take her own life, and those of three others, by ripping a gas pipe from the wall of her home and starting a fire in April 2014. When fire crews arrived, they found the gas pipe behind the cooker in the kitchen had been disconnected and the gas had been ignited with a lighter. She was one of four people taken to hospital suffering from burns and the effects of smoke inhalation after the fire at Keats Corner in Canterbury. D'Souza was ordered to serve four years on extended licence after release from prison at the end of her sentence. The judge described her as "wicked and utterly selfish". Det Insp Janine Farrell, from Kent Police, said: 'Pearl D'Souza has been convicted of three attempted murders, but who can be sure of how many other potential victims were also put at risk by her deliberate and selfish actions? 'There is no doubt she intended to kill herself and the other occupants of the house that day when she ignited the gas with her lighter. "It was only her lack of knowledge about the levels of gas required to cause an explosion that prevented fatalities in the house and in the neighbouring vicinity." John Marquis headed Rovers in front, only for Padraig Amond to equalise from the penalty spot after he had been fouled by Mathieu Baudry. But Mandeville added to a game-changing performance off the bench against Exeter the previous week by slotting home a winner in the 90th minute. Doncaster lost goalkeeper Marko Marosi to an apparent concussion midway through the half. Marosi's replacement Ross Etheridge almost gifted Hartlepool the lead with his first touch, playing a pass straight to Amond who curled a fine effort onto the post. But Doncaster immediately took the lead on the counter-attack when Marquis stooped to head past Trevor Carson. The hosts looked comfortable until Baudry nudged Amond in the back and referee Mark Haywood pointed to the spot. Amond sent Etheridge the wrong way with his penalty. Doncaster had the edge in a high-tempo second half but looked set for disappointment until Mandeville raced in to turn Marquis' low centre home from five yards.

In a video released on social media on Friday, he joined his wife, Michelle, and said they wanted ideas for the new presidential centre they will set up in Chicago. Mr Obama called it a "living, working centre for citizenship". However, Mrs Obama said their first priority would be to get some sleep. The project will be based in the couple's old neighbourhood, South Side, but they said it will have projects all over the city, the country and the world. They called for the public to send in their ideas, hopes, beliefs and inspirations via the website Obama.org. After eight years in the White House, Mr Obama is handing over to the next US president, Donald Trump, in Friday's inauguration ceremony at the US Capitol in Washington DC. With his wife, he thanked the public for their support, as the couple found themselves on the cusp of rejoining the world as public citizens. The family are moving to the Washington neighbourhood of Kalorama. "This will be your presidential centre as much as it is ours," said Mrs Obama. Mr Obama added that true democracy was a project much bigger than any one person. In his final press conference on Wednesday, he had confirmed that he would not be running for another public post "anytime soon". "I want to do some writing. I want to be quiet a little bit and not hear myself talk so darn much. I want to spend precious time with my girls," he said. "Those are my priorities this year." In interviews, the Democrat had previously said he wanted to help nurture the next generation of his party's leaders - and ideally run an NBA basketball team. He has also allegedly joked about getting a job at music-streaming site Spotify, as he was well known for curating and sharing his own playlists. The Football Association has said the technology could be trialled in the FA Cup in January 2018, but could now begin in the EFL Cup first round. "The board will consider allowing the EFL Cup to be utilised," EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said. Approval for the technology to be used in the EFL Cup could come in May. Video assistant referees are currently being trialled worldwide, with Fifa president Gianni Infantino keen to employ the system at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The technology would only be applied to key incidents concerning goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties. Video technology was used to correct two wrong decisions as Spain beat France in a friendly in Paris on Tuesday night. Paul Cummins received threats by email, phone and letter over plans for services charities to benefit from the £10m raised, he told the Sunday Times. The Derbyshire artist said he believed it was because some people felt the charities were "involved in war". Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red saw 888,246 ceramic poppies "planted" in the moat. Each poppy represented one British or colonial military death during World War One. The installation culminated on Armistice Day when the final poppy was planted by 13-year old cadet Harry Hayes from Berkshire, before the guns were fired 21 times and a two-minute silence was observed. Mr Cummins said: "The threats came, I suppose, because they felt that the money was going to charities which in some way were involved in war." He added that police had been called in over the matter. It is thought about five million people visited Blood-Swept Lands and Seas of Red, the title of which was inspired by a line from the will of a Derbyshire serviceman who died in Flanders. He had described "the blood-swept lands and seas of red, where angels fear to tread". The following day a team of 8,000 volunteers started removing the 888,246 poppies and sending them to the people who bought them for £25 each. The net proceeds plus 10% of every sale generated the £10m being shared between Help for Heroes, the Royal British Legion, Combat Stress, Cobseo, Coming Home and SSAFA. Mr Cummins also told the paper he was working on a new British-based project involving ceramic tulips, although the location is yet to be disclosed. He added that he had had offers to work on projects elsewhere in Europe as well as another "distant part of the world". World War One Centenary Second-placed Linfield cruised to a 4-0 win over Dungannon Swifts while Ballymena defeated Carrick 2-0. David McDavid struck deep into injury time to give Cliftonville a 1-0 home victory over Ballinamallard. Coleraine secured a deserved 1-0 win at Glentoran and Glenavon beat Ards by the same scoreline. Relive Saturday's Premiership action It was top against bottom at Shamrock Park but Portadown put up stiff resistance against the champions. The only goal came on 66 minutes with Whyte converting from the spot after Jordan Owens was fouled by Ken Oman. Linfield had a much easier passage to their three points as they hit four goals for the second time this week. Chris Hegarty's own goal set the Blues on their way before strikes from Jamie Mulgrew, Niall Quinn and Ross Gaynor. Ballymena were the only other side to score more than a single goal but they had to wait until the 77th minute for the opener, courtesy of Kyle Owens. Willie Faulkner hammered home to seal a win which keeps United third and restores confidence after the 4-1 home defeat by Linfield on Tuesday. There was late, late drama at Solitude as McDaid popped up with a composed finish in the fifth minute of added time. It was an eventful afternoon for Glenavon, which included Lurgan Blues keeper Jonathan Tuffey missing a penalty and striker Joel Copper dismissed late on for two yellows. Greg Moorhouse ensured victory for the Lurgan side by slotting in after Rhys Marshall's shot was parried. Jamie McGonigle hit the bottom corner early in the second half to give Coleraine victory and end Glentoran's unbeaten run of five games. An air conditioning unit is believed to have caught fire, police said. No injuries were reported. Chiltern Railways services leaving the station were temporarily suspended. Light smoke could be seen on the concourse and appeared to be coming from platform one, BBC World Service presenter Danny Cox said. The station was evacuated shortly after 21:00 GMT and five fire crews were called to the station. "There's been nothing but calm from the start", Mr Cox said. Chiltern Railways services to the Home Counties and West Midlands were affected until the early hours of Saturday, and have now returned to normal. Twenty-five firefighters from Paddington, Soho, Kensington and Euston fire stations attended the incident. The fire service initially said up to 700 people had been evacuated but later confirmed the number was 500. London Fire Brigade station manager Paul Hobbs said: "The fire was affecting one of the train's carriages but crews worked quickly to put it out." An investigation into the cause of the fire has been launched. Chasing Middlesex's first-day score of 242, the hosts were on 122-2, only to fold badly after the controversial run-out of opener Ian Westwood for 81. The Bears lost their last eight wickets for 50 to be bowled out for 172, spinner Ollie Rayner taking 5-49. Nick Gubbins (41 not out) and Sam Robson helped Middlesex close on 63-0. That increased Middlesex's lead to 133 on a day overshadowed by the much-debated decision over the key wicket of Westwood. After a dismal start to the campaign, in which he made just 15 runs in the Bears' six matches, Westwood has looked in much better touch following his recall in August. By mid-afternoon, he was just 19 runs short of repeating the ton he made against Durham in Warwickshire's previous match when was called for a needless single by captain Ian Bell. Westwood was unable to regain his ground, twice being accidentally impeded by prostrate bowler Raynor, who had fallen over trying to field the ball - and was run out after a direct hit from Toby Roland-Jones. Umpires David Millns and Martin Saggers then had a lengthy conversation with Middlesex captain James Franklin, who had the option of withdrawing the appeal, but he opted to stick with it. Following Westwood's exit, the last seven wickets then fell to the spin of Rayner and Ravi Patel (2-54) as Middlesex showed the fighting qualities of potential winners as they battle with reigning champions Yorkshire for the title. Warwickshire batsman Ian Westwood told BBC WM: "'Belly' and I had a good partnership going so it was a shame it had to end that way. Ollie didn't deliberately get in my way. He dived in front of me and we had a tangle. "That made 'Belly' think twice about his run and by that time Ollie was lying in front of me and it was impossible to get back. In my opinion, that caused the run-out so it's disappointing. "I don't really know the rules. The Spirit of the Game gets banded about a lot. Cricket has a lot of grey areas and I suppose that's another one. It was just a disappointing dismissal. It's up to everyone else to make their minds up, I suppose. "We are obviously disappointed with the way it then went. We lost too many wickets and couldn't halt their momentum. We now have to fight like crazy to try to dig ourselves out of this hole." Middlesex spinner Ollie Rayner told BBC Radio London: "The ball was hit back at me and I tried to stop it, then they had a mix-up, but it was a legitimate run out, as far as I concerned. "After that we still had to bowl in good areas. We bowled well on a pitch that's given us some help. Now hopefully we can push on with the bat. "We don't want to be thinking too far ahead. We are in a great position but Yorkshire are a formidable side who have done it in the past so they know what they are doing." His comments came as hundreds of people are feared to have drowned after a boat carrying up to 700 migrants capsized. Mr Farage told the BBC he did not have a "problem" offering refugee status to "some Christians from those countries". Conservatives accused him of making "cheap political points". Nick Clegg said he had no regrets over Libya. Speaking on BBC One's Sunday Politics show, Mr Farage said military action in 2011 had destabilised Libya and led to mass migration. "The fanaticism of [former French president] Sarkozy and Cameron to bomb Libya - and what they've done is to completely destabilise Libya, to turn it into a country with much savagery, to turn it into a place where for Christians the situation is virtually impossible. "We ought to be honest and admit we have directly caused this problem. "There were no migrants coming across from Libya in these quantities before we bombed the country, got rid of [the then Libyan leader] Gaddafi and destabilised the situation." He added: "I'm the one person that has said that I do think - especially for Christians in that part of the world - they now have almost nowhere to go. "I have not got a problem with us offering refugee status to some Christians from those countries." Speaking later on the campaign trail in Ash, Kent, Mr Farage said he believed the military action in Libya should be on Mr Cameron's conscience. "After all, there are millions of people who blame Tony Blair for going to war on a lie and whilst Libya may be smaller scale, I think in foreign policy terms it's the biggest mistake he has made as prime minister," he added. Deputy prime minister Mr Clegg said: 'I don't regret supporting intervention with other countries in stopping what would have been an absolute blood bath. "Remember when Colonel Gaddafi was threatening to pretty well kill every single innocent man, woman and child in Benghazi and that was the trigger, which I think for humanitarian grounds quite rightly led to the response from ourselves and other members of the international community." The Liberal Democrat leader added that this "large scale loss of life" in Libyan waters showed there was an urgent need for the European Union to "review arrangements because we just cannot on moral grounds have such large numbers of people dying in such regular intervals in the Mediterranean". Home Office Minister James Brokenshire accused Mr Farage of making "cheap political points" and argued that the situation required "action at an EU level", working with the African Union and others. He told the BBC News channel: "In the wake of such an appalling tragedy, if all that Nigel Farage can do is to make, frankly, cheap political points - I think it shows his lack of understanding of the issues at hand here. "The need is actually to use humanitarian aid and assistance to stop those flows - something that his party said it would slash." Labour's shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, said: "Today's dreadful and distressing tragedy shows how urgently we need EU and international action to prevent thousands of people from drowning off Europe's shores. "The British government must immediately reverse its opposition to EU search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean, as the EU needs to restart the rescue as soon as possible." Conservative Culture Secretary Sajid Javid said: 'However difficult the situation in Libya is today - and it is challenging - just think what could have happened if Gaddafi would have got his way. "So I'm proud of the action that we took with our allies, it was the right thing to do." When asked whether the UK should take some of the migrants, Mr Javid said: 'I don't think that's what's required." The ultimate solution is to help create a more stable and secure Libya, he told Sky News' Murnaghan. "We provide aid to Libya along with our partners, we provide military training for its government and help in other ways and that's the only long-term solution." A major rescue operation is currently under way after the vessel capsized in Libyan waters south of the Italian island of Lampedusa. This year, at least 900 other migrants have died crossing the Mediterranean. The UN refugee agency, the UNHCR, said the latest sinking could amount to the largest loss of life during a migrant crossing to Europe. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Britain would offer the expertise of the National Crime Agency and the security services to help identify and target the traffickers. Britain could also help by driving migration through its aid programme in the "key source countries", he said. He is meeting his EU counterparts in Luxembourg on Monday for talks.

On Monday, the former England Under-20 international announced his retirement from professional football after failing to recover from injury. "I hope people remember me in terms of my playing career," the 29-year-old told BBC World Service Sport. Unfortunately for Samba, they won't. He came to fame after being popularised in the Championship Manager computer game, namely the 2001-02 edition. His potential stats made him a world beater in the game. Having started at Millwall in 2000, Samba's career took him to obscure clubs around Europe, including Haka in Finland, Panetolikos in Greece and Tonsberg of Norway, the club where he suffered his career-ending injury. He also had spells at Plymouth and Wrexham as well as winning four senior caps for The Gambia. "Funnily enough, I have never played Championship Manager myself," he said. "I wouldn't say it hindered my career, it is only a computer game. "It is up to the individual. Sometimes it can affect a person, sometimes it can't. I am a strong person and I don't think it affected me in any way. "It can have that impact on kids, though. We just need to be careful with people hyping them up." That hype surrounded another Championship Manager legend, Freddy Adu. He failed to realise his early potential. Signed by Nike in 2002 at the age 13, the American has now signed for his 13th professional club at the age of just 26. Samba's popularity made him a cult hero. Gamers spent hours on their PCs and laptops as virtual Samba fired in the goals to lead clubs to Premier League or Champions League glory. His reputation was such that it was summed up in a phone call to a mobile phone company. "I had to order a new phone from my network provider," he says. "I rang them up to get it ordered and was told to wait two to three months for it to arrive. I thought: 'No problem'. "The guy then asked my name and I said: 'Cherno Samba'. With surprise, he asked: 'The one from Championship Manager? You'll get it the next day'." Asked which achievement he wished he had experienced in real life, he said: "To win the World Cup for England. That would be the ultimate." Samba's own modest career may not be remembered, but his exploits on a computer screen will never be forgotten. You can hear more from Samba by listening to his interview on BBC Sportshour Andy Price: "He was the only player I wouldn't fine for not turning up to training because I felt it was his right to have a day off for being Cherno Samba." Scott Moule: "I played against him, Anton Ferdinand and Kieron Richardson in the London Boroughs' Ketchup Cup final at The Den 2000/2001, Blackheath v Tower Hamlets & Hackney. We lost 2-1. He scored both for them, if my memory serves me right!" Curtis Westcott: "What's that coming over the hill, it's Cherno Samba, Cherno Sambaaaaa. Never forget his goal in my first ever away Argyle game, scoring a last-minute goal against Coventry at the Ricoh." Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta did not allow a hit in the first five innings in Cleveland to set up a comfortable win. Kyle Schwarber drove in two runs to continue his dream return from injury. The Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908 but will end that drought if they win three straight home games this weekend, starting on Friday. Chicago's famous Wrigley Field stadium has not hosted a World Series game since 1945, when legend has it that a curse was placed on the Cubs after a local tavern owner was asked to leave a game because the smell of his pet goat was upsetting other fans. Manager Joe Maddon is expecting an even better atmosphere than usual when the series switches to the National League ballpark. He said: "It's always crazy good, but I'd have to imagine a little bit more than that, especially coming back at 1-1. The folks will be jacked up about the win. "It's the finest venue there is in professional sports and maybe in all of sports. "But now having a World Series to root for, it's going to be incredibly special." It was a first World Series defeat for Cleveland manager Terry Francona, who is the only coach to win his first nine matches in the World Series - having steered the Boston Red Sox to 4-0 sweeps in 2004 and 2007. If required, the series will return to Cleveland for a sixth game on Tuesday and potentially a decider the following night.

Mold Crown Court heard victims were passed around a group of men at the Wrexham home of Gary Cooke, 64, in the 1970s and 80s. Mr Cooke and six co-defendants, are on trial and deny a range of sex offences against boys aged 10 to 15. The court heard boys were plied with drink and drugs before being assaulted. Prosecutor Eleanor Laws QC said the case centred on the home of Mr Cooke and, apart from Keith Stokes, all the defendants had some sort of connection to him. "This case is concerned with the activities of a predatory paedophile ring," she told the jury. "The boys were young, vulnerable, sometimes isolated by family circumstances and manipulated by Gary Cooke and others." The court heard the boys were groomed by being offered treats such as cinema trips and given attention, which all led to "grave sexual abuse". One of the defendants who visited Mr Cooke's addresses was teacher and care home owner Roger Griffiths, a convicted paedophile, the court was told. The jury heard Mr Griffiths owned Gatewen Hall children's home in Wrexham from 1977 to 1983 and was a teacher at Wrexham Special Education Centre, which has since closed down. Miss Laws said that police records revealed Mr Griffiths was convicted in 1999 of indecent assault, a serious sexual assault and cruelty to a child. The case has been bought as part of Operation Pallial, the National Crime Agency's investigation into historical child abuse. The trial continues.

A former professional wrestler was at the heart of a "predatory" paedophile ring that abused young boys at sex parties, a court has heard.

Michael-Ryan Mansfield, 10, was left with a severe burn mark across his neck after riding into the rope near Alderman Blaxill School, in Colchester, on Thursday afternoon. Essex police are treating the incident as assault. His mother Kimberley Brand said Michael-Ryan's injuries could have been far more serious. The rope was tied between a gate and the school railings. Ms Brand, of the Shrub End area of Colchester, said: "He was very shaken. He is quite little and the rope threw him backwards. "At first I thought he'd been in a fight. He came in sobbing his heart out. I saw his neck and it has got worse since it happened." She said Michael-Ryan, who has two younger sisters and is a pupil at Gosbecks Primary School, was still in a lot of pain. She urged those responsible never to repeat the prank. PC Esther Butcher said: "Not only is this an act of complete stupidity, but could have caused the victim far worse injuries than he has been left with. "Whoever is responsible may have thought this was simply a childish prank, but we are taking this matter seriously and treating it as assault." Police are appealing for witnesses. Abbie Keers, of Stanley, County Durham, was showered with glass and needed surgery after the 14 February attack. Matthew McCrea, of Tyne Vale, Stanley, had admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm at an earlier hearing. Durham Crown Court heard the 24-year-old had drunk 15 bottles of lager before the incident. Abbie was a front seat passenger in the car with her mother Clare Webb, her grandmother Sarah Webb, and three-year-old sister Lexi, when the bottle was thrown from a subway on the A693 in Stanley. McCrea admitted throwing the bottle in the late night attack but said he had not been aiming at the car. The nine-year-old needed surgery to remove glass from her face and suffered severe cuts. She has continued to compete in junior gymnastics events despite her ordeal, the hearing was told. After the hearing Abbie's grandmother said: "We are very pleased that he has been given a custodial sentence. "We think it's the right thing and that justice has been done. "He is 24 years old and should know better. He has shown himself to be a thoughtless, mindless individual, who has scarred my granddaughter. "I think any parent or grandparent would think the same." Liam O'Brien, mitigating, said McCrea was ashamed of his actions, which were not premeditated and happened after he had been binge drinking. Judge Penny Moreland told McCrea an immediate custodial sentence was "unavoidable" because the victim was a child. Public Health England said there will no longer be specialist staff based at Birmingham and Manchester airports or at the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras. It said the threat was now "significantly lower" as the situation improved in West Africa. The measures at Heathrow and Gatwick, the two main routes of entry from the affected countries, remain in place. There were just 26 new cases of Ebola reported in West Africa last week. At the peak of the outbreak there were more than 1,000 cases each week. Health officials introduced extra checks at major routes into the UK for people arriving from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Temperatures were taken and people were asked to complete a questionnaire to establish whether they had been in contact with anyone infected with the disease. People were also told what to do if they developed symptoms. However, people arriving in Birmingham, Manchester airports and at St Pancras station will now be screened over the phone. All health workers returning to the UK will continue to be screened and monitored until the Ebola outbreak is over. Prof Paul Cosford, from Public Health England, said: "The risk of Ebola transmission to the UK from West Africa is now significantly lower than when the screening arrangements were originally implemented. "The risk of further Ebola cases being imported to the UK is now very low and continues to decrease due to the considerable decline in the scale of the epidemic in West Africa, the efforts of the global response to control the virus' spread, the control measures in place in West Africa and the low number of people entering the UK from affected areas." He paid his respects to soldiers who died fighting for the country by laying a wreath at a national monument in Tallinn's Freedom Square. During a speech Prince Harry later said the UK and Estonia are "firm friends". The serving Army officer said he had been "privileged" to serve alongside Estonian troops while in Afghanistan. Crowds of people, many waving union jacks, earlier watched as Prince Harry laid a wreath alongside two Estonian servicemen. A handwritten note attached to the wreath read: "In memory of all those who gave their lives for their country - Harry". "Your armed forces have built a formidable reputation through their professionalism and bravery in the most testing conditions," he told guests during a reception at Estonia's parliament building. Addressing the guests, which included injured troops, he said: "You get the job done with minimal fuss and I love that." By Damien McGuinnessBBC News, Tallinn, Estonia Prince Harry's trip to Estonia is being seen as a sign of Western support amid fears of a resurgent Russia. He has visited Estonia's monument to national independence and met Estonian soldiers injured in the Nato mission in Afghanistan. The expectation from the Estonian government is clear: that Nato should now reciprocate by protecting the Baltics if needed. So the prince's visit to the largest Nato exercises ever to be held in Estonia is significant. Some in the West fear a military build-up on Russia's border could provoke Moscow. But for people in the Baltics a strong military presence here is an essential deterrent and Prince Harry's visit a signal that the West has not forgotten them. Estonia first sent troops to Afghanistan in 2006, and during Prince Harry's last deployment there, he worked with forces from the Baltic state. The prince served a 20-week deployment in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot, ending in January 2013. His first tour of Afghanistan - as a forward air controller on the front line - was cut short in 2008 after 10 weeks because a media blackout was broken. "As a nation, we are extremely grateful for your support and for the sacrifice Estonia has made alongside us in recent operations. It is something which we will never forget," the prince said. "Our countries are firm friends but this friendship continues to grow even stronger, through our shared experiences and goals." The prince, who it later emerged had flown to Tallinn on an Easyjet flight, is due to meet President of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, on the second day of his visit to the country. He will also watch the largest Nato military exercises ever to be held in Estonia before he is then expected to travel to Italy for the final part of his four-day tour. A host of other acts have already been announced for the event at the site near Thornhill on 29 August. Festival director Alex Roberts said that to secure King Creosote for the second edition of the festival was "unreal". "To have such an iconic musician close the day at such an iconic location is something special," he added. About 100kgs (220lbs) of the fruit, worth about £300, were stolen from Hill Farm in Lenham Road, Ulcombe. Kent Police initially said the fruit had been coated with a chemical that could cause "poisoning", but later said the it posed no risk to public health. It is believed the same people have committed previous thefts from the farm, a police spokeswoman said. The thieves got into the farm by cutting a fence, before a vehicle was loaded with the strawberries sometime between midnight on Friday and 10:00 BST on Monday, police said. The force initially said the strawberries had been coated with a chemical which could cause "poisoning to the stomach". A police spokeswoman then issued a statement saying: "It has come to my attention that the strawberries mentioned below do not pose a risk to public health." The Opera House issued a statement after the performance of Guillaume Tell apologising for any distress caused. Director of opera Kasper Holten said: "The production intends to make it an uncomfortable scene, just as there are several upsetting and violent scenes in Rossini's score. "We are sorry if some people have found this distressing." Holten said the scene "puts the spotlight on the brutal reality of women being abused during war time, and sexual violence being a tragic fact of war." Rossini's opera of the Swiss patriot, William Tell, who shoots an arrow that splits an apple atop his son's head, has been directed by Damiano Michieletto and stars Canadian baritone Gerald Finley as Tell and American tenor John Osborn. Osborn told Reuters after the performance that the scene "maybe it went a little longer than it should have". "But it happened and I think it's an element you can use to show just how horrible these people were that were occupying this town," he said. "If you don't feel the brutality, the suffering these people have had to face, if you want to hide it, it becomes soft, it becomes for children." The Stage gave the production one star. George Hall called it a "dire evening" in which the "gratuitous gang-rape" scene provoked "the noisiest and most sustained booing I can ever recall during any performance at this address". "Intellectually poverty-stricken, emotionally crass and with indifferent stagecraft, the result is nowhere near the standard an international company should be aiming at", he said. Michael Arditti, the Sunday Express theatre critic said the production represented a "new nadir" for the opera house and "heads should roll". Eaves, which is a charity that supports women who have experienced violence, said "sexual violence in conflict can be dealt with in sensitive ways - not gratuitous entertainment - bad call." The opera house put up an article on its website not mentioning the scene, but asking the audience what they thought of the production. Tim Moorey responded, calling the production "a disappointment from beginning to end. No wonder it received calls of 'rubbish' and lots of boos during the performance and at the end. "I should especially single our the gratuitous rape scene which was totally unnecessary and received almost universal disapproval and much booing." But some were upset at the booing in the audience. Janice Evans wrote she was "in shock at this level of intolerance exhibited in the ROH". "I felt abused by their aggression and ashamed of their disrespect for the performers." Mark Valencia writing for What's on Stage pointed out that first night booing is "a fast-growing problem at Covent Garden" that doesn't happen at other opera houses. "It's become standard practice for the director of practically every new production to be jeered by practised factions in the audience who object to ideas that go beyond the literal reading of an opera," he said. But at last night's first night "the perpetrators did something unheard of: they booed during the music. And they did so loudly and long." They also booed at the end of the performance when the production team came on stage for the curtain call. Alan Charlton, 56, of Bridgwater, Somerset, and Idris Ali, 51, of Cardiff, were jailed in 1991 over the death of Karen Price. At a brief hearing at London's Court of Appeal on Tuesday, judges dismissed their appeal. Karen's body was found on Fitzhamon Embankment, Cardiff, in November 1989. Charlton was jailed for life in 1991 for murder while Ali was freed in 1994 after his conviction was quashed and he admitted manslaughter. Karen went missing from a children's home in 1981 and when her body was found, it was so badly decomposed it was impossible to establish the cause of her death. Lawyers for the men argued during their appeal that evidence from the key witness in the trial - a girl from the same children's home as Karen who was known only as D - could not be relied upon. It was this testimony which implicated the men in Karen's killing. Ali claims he only confessed to manslaughter in order to get out of prison. Charlton's representatives claimed police officers involved in the investigation pressurised key trial witnesses. Some also worked on the 1988 murder of Cardiff prostitute Lynette White, which later triggered an investigation into alleged police corruption. Lawyers argued if that was known at the time of their prosecution, the evidence from D would have been excluded or viewed differently by the jury. Nolito, 30, has made just nine Premier League starts since joining City for £13.8m from Celta Vigo last July. He has struggled to adapt to life in England and said he wanted to leave. "I've learnt little English. It's hard. Just 'tomorrow', 'good morning', 'good afternoon' and a little more," Nolito told radio station Onda Cero. He added: "My daughter's face has changed colour - it looks like she's been living in a cave." Nolito, who signed a four-year contract with City last summer, has scored six goals in 30 games in all competitions, but his last Premier League start was a 3-0 win away at Hull City on 26 December. "I am under the contract, so the club will decide, but I want to leave," he said. His wife is due to give birth around the end of May. "The more important thing is that my wife is due another baby, so that will be my first priority," Charteris told BBC Wales Sport. "We'll see how that goes, hopefully everything goes well there and then I can make a decision after that." The child is due to be born in France, where 33 year-old Charteris is in the final months of his contract with Paris side Racing 92 before moving to Bath. Wales are due to face England at Twickenham on 29 May, before a three-Test tour of New Zealand, also including a fixture against Waikato Chiefs. The French Top 14 final will not be played until 24 June, only hours before the final Test in New Zealand, and Racing are strong contenders for the title. "I don't know, I'll cross that bridge when we get there," said Charteris when asked about his Wales availability. "I want to be doing as well as we can with Racing and put ourselves in a position to win some silverware, and see what happens down the line. The honest answer is I'm not really sure." Charteris has made three starts and one replacement appearance during the 2016 Six Nations, taking his caps total to 66. "It's a big end of the season for a lot of boys who were in the World Cup, so it's been a long year," admitted Charteris. "We'll go back to our clubs now, some will have a bit of rest, some have got big games coming up. "We look forward to getting back together in a few months time and it's a great way to finish the season off." Read more and watch the interview by TAPPING HERE. Mohamed Abrini - the so-called "man in the hat" - came to the UK in July 2015 and was given the money in a park, Kingston Crown Court heard. Zakaria Boufassil, 26, who is accused of handing over the cash, denies preparing for acts of terrorism. A second man, Mohammed Ali Ahmed, has pleaded guilty to the same offence. Abrini became known as "the man in the hat" following his suspected involvement in the Brussels terror attack in March this year, which killed 32 people at an airport and metro station, the jury heard. Prosecuting, Max Hill QC told the court Abrini is also suspected of being connected to attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015, which killed 130 people. Mr Hill said Abrini travelled to the UK between 9 and 16 July 2015. He said there "can be no doubt" the money was handed over to him while in the UK "with the intention of assisting acts of terrorism". "That much is clear from the guilty plea by Mohammed Ali Ahmed. Mr Boufassil, denies that he personally intended to assist in the preparation of terrorist acts. "We suggest he is lying. We suggest that he was clearly acting together with Ahmed when the money was handed to Abrini," he added. The court heard that Abrini, a Belgian citizen of Moroccan descent, arrived at Heathrow on 9 July and headed to Birmingham by coach the following day. There was telephone contact between the men - but also technical evidence that their phones had been in close proximity. According to analysis of mobile phone masts, during 10 July Abrini's mobile phone and those of Mr Boufassil and Ahmed were logged as being in Small Heath Park in the city. The following day, the three phones came together again in the same location. Mr Hill said: "You can be sure that Ahmed, Abrini and Mr Boufassil met that day - that was the handover of the money to Abrini." The £3,000 allegedly came from a bank account set up by another man who had previously left the UK to fight with the self-styled Islamic State group (IS) in Syria. Most of it was from benefits payments, the court heard. "The actual use of the money handed to Abrini is not part of the offence charged," said Mr Hill. "There is no clear evidence one way or another. If it is suggested to you that Abrini may or did use some of the cash given to him to gamble in a casino, that does not undermine the criminal offence. "What matters is the conduct in question, the handing over of the cash to Abrini and the intention behind the handover. What they do with it is another matter." Abrini, currently in custody, was an associate of two men believed to be responsible for the Paris attacks - Salah Abdeslam and Abdelhamid Abaaoud. His brother had also been killed fighting in Syria for IS, the court heard. Following the alleged handover, Abrini moved on to Manchester before flying back to Belgium from Birmingham. He was questioned about the UK trip by Belgian investigators, the court heard. When his phone was later seized, police found that it contained a photo of Small Heath Park. The trial continues. The tourists, who lead 1-0 in the series, will decide on the opener's fitness on Thursday before the toss. Many of Hales' team-mates have suffered from stomach bugs. "Nick Compton and Chris Jordan suffered worst. Everyone else hasn't felt quite right at some point," said captain Alastair Cook. Hales, 27, who scored his maiden half-century in the drawn second Test at Cape Town, trained alone in the nets on Wednesday morning before returning to his hotel room to rest. If he fails to recover, England are likely to promote Compton to the top of the order and bring in Gary Ballance at number three. England will win the four-match series with victory at the Wanderers, where South Africa will be led by AB de Villiers. Media playback is not supported on this device Hashim Amla, who scored a double hundred at Newlands, has stepped down as captain and been replaced by one-day skipper De Villiers. "It's an exciting time to play and we are in a really good position," said Cook. "The next two games are probably both on result wickets, which means we need to win one of them to win the series. "That's a great situation to be in. To win away from home, especially against the top-ranked team in the world, is particularly hard, so the guys are buzzing for that." Asked about Amla's decision to step down mid-series, Cook said: "It's a huge honour to captain your country, but if you don't feel you're the right man for the job or you're not enjoying as much as you should, it's better for South Africa that he's strong enough to make that decision. "It took a lot of guts from him." Read more: De Villiers 'not sure' about future as captain Despite Dale Steyn's continued absence with a shoulder injury, South Africa are set to have an all-pace attack at the Wanderers after releasing off-spinner Dane Piedt from the squad. Piedt and reserve batsman Rilee Rossouw will instead play for their franchise teams before rejoining the squad for the fourth Test in Centurion. South Africa (possible): Stiaan van Zyl, Dean Elgar, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers (capt), Faf du Plessis, Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock (wk), Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel, Hardus Viljoen.

Media playback is not supported on this device Ian Parkhill scored the opener on the half hour, pouncing after home keeper Stefan McCusker had fumbled Jamie McGonigle's shot. United levelled on 57 minutes through Adam Leckey's glancing header. But a fine 84th-minute strike by Rodney Brown gave Coleraine their first ever Premiership win at Ferney Park. It meant a fourth successive league defeat for Ballinamallard who are ninth in the table. Front man Parkhill had started the match because leading scorer James McLaughlin was injured in the warm-up. He snapped up the opening goal after McCusker failed to hold on to McGonigle's low shot. Ballinamallard should have scored before the break but James McCartney shot wide from just a few yards out. However, the hosts did equalise as big midfielder Leckey headed in from a Jason McCartney corner. Coleraine secured the victory when Brown got his fifth goal of the season with a superbly-struck shot. Coleraine manager Oran Kearney: "We never get it easy here and it is great to come away with the three points for the first time. "It was disappointing to concede from the corner because we aim to limit teams at set pieces. "But our players found some energy and strength of character from somewhere and found another gear. "We had other chances before Rodney scored with what was a great strike." The 30 ft (9m) tall bird, referred to as "Chicken Don", stands between the official residence of the US president and the famous Washington Monument. Owner Taran Singh Brar said the prop portrays a president who is "afraid". But some Twitter users were not impressed, with one dubbing the stunt "pathetic". In a video posted on social media on Wednesday, activist and documentary maker Mr Brar said he hoped to "bring awareness" to what he said was a "bad and destabilising" US president. "We are out here to criticise our president for being weak and ineffective as a leader," he said in the footage posted on Twitter, adding that Mr Trump also "seems afraid" to release his tax returns. "He seems afraid to stand up to Putin and now he's playing a game of chicken with North Korea," Mr Brar said. Permission to set up the inflatable fowl, which was funded through the crowdsourcing website GoFundMe, had to be obtained from the US Secret Service, according to local media. In April, the large bird appeared at marches across the US as demonstrators called on Mr Trump to release his tax returns. The balloon was manufactured in China following the success of a Trump-like rooster designed as a prop to celebrate the Chinese New Year in January. The inflatable's arrival has divided opinion on social media, with Twitter users at odds over whether the stunt was "pathetic" or "cute". The topic quickly gained momentum and the hashtag #TrumpChicken was trending in the US on Wednesday. End of Twitter post by @NWPinPDX "Not a comment on Trump or his presidency, but I just kind of love the inflatable chicken w/Trump hair. It is really cute!" wrote Eva Ulrich. Another Twitter user, Scott Presler, wrote: "President Trump tells nuclear power North Korea there will be 'Fire & fury' and democrats inflate a chicken? Insanity." End of Twitter post by @EduSamani End of Twitter post by @SaysHummingbird "The left would rather spend $1300 on a #TrumpChicken, than use that money to feed the homeless. The obsession continues," wrote Scott. This argument was countered by Eugene, with a tweet that simply read: "Now we have a real President. #TrumpChicken." Meanwhile, Bryce Tache†One of the eight places, revealed at a Doncaster Council meeting, could act as a rail park-and-ride site with 1,700 parking spaces. Opponents living in the rural locations in Doncaster, Rotherham and Wakefield said it would "not benefit Yorkshire". HS2 said the early proposal would provide "additional access onto the railway for a wider area". More updates on this story and others in South Yorkshire Proposed sites The proposed South Yorkshire HS2 route, part of phase 2b of the project, runs east of Sheffield towards the M18, with a separate spur to take passengers to Sheffield city centre. Paul Griffiths, phase 2 development director at HS2, said: "We've focussed our attention [at the eight sites] because there are already roads and access, but we are at a very early stage of the development. "There would be public consultations and the secretary of state would take a view as to whether we can manage this in a way which doesn't have too much impact and whether this does make sense as a proposal." A study looking into the possibility of a "parkway" station is due to be completed later in 2017. Christine Jackson, chair of Hickleton Parish Council, said: "I presume you would have greenbelt for a car park, people would struggle to get to it due to a busy A road. "You would lose its sense of being a conservation area, so I can't see anything positive about it." Grant Morement, who lives in Hooton Roberts, said: "It doesn't help the capacity, it doesn't benefit Yorkshire, it has no economic benefit, there's just no point whatsoever having it up here." What will the second phase of HS2 involve? In November, the government confirmed the route for the second phase - from Crewe to Manchester and the West Midlands to Leeds. A new HS2 station will be built next to Manchester Piccadilly, with a spur to take HS2 to another new station at Manchester Airport. The decision on how to run the line to Sheffield has been delayed. The government's preferred option is for the main HS2 route to run east of Sheffield but for a spur to take passengers to Sheffield city centre. What do we know about HS2? Robert Ferrin was driving a grey Ford Focus which crashed on the north bound carriageway of the A1 Hillsborough Road at about 17:40 BST. The 61-year-old man was from Belfast, according to police. Officers have appealed for anyone who witnessed the crash to get in contact with them. In their first game at Myreside - their home for the second half of the season - Duncan Hodge's side ran in seven converted tries, with captain Neil Cochrane bagging two. Cornell du Preez, Blair Kinghorn, Mike Allen, Jason Tovey and Damien Hoyland scored the others. The Romanians' only points came from a Valentin Calafeteanu penalty. Edinburgh have an unassailable six-point lead at the top of Pool 5, and with 24 points, are guaranteed to be one of the four top-ranked sides in the pool stages, thereby securing a home draw for the last eight. The club may opt to shift that fixture back to Murrayfield for its greater size as Myreside can hold around 6,000 spectators, less than a tenth of the national stadium's capacity. Cochrane, on his 50th appearance for the club, grounded the ball after a powerful drive from the home pack to open the scoring, with Duncan Weir converting. Edinburgh's back row combined smartly in open play to create the second try, with Magnus Bradbury finding fellow flanker Jamie Ritchie, whose basketball-style offload to Tom Brown gave the winger the space to send Du Preez galloping in. Weir converted, and did so again when Kinghorn snapped up a telegraphed pass to canter in unchallenged from halfway. Centre Chris Dean set up his midfield partner Mike Allen for the bonus-point fourth try on the stroke of half-time, the fly-half adding the extras once more. Trailing 28-0, scrum-half Calafeteanu slotted Timisoara's sole points from the tee shortly after the break, but Cochrane's second - converted by Weir - stretched the lead after another rolling maul. Weir's replacement Tovey and Du Preez combined in the tackle to hold up the Romanians when they threatened the home whitewash. And the Welsh pivot exploited a gap in the Timisoara defence to dot down for Edinburgh's sixth try, converting it himself. Scotland winger Hoyland scored the final - and arguably finest - try of the evening, when he sped home off a neat inside reverse pass from replacement scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, with Tovey adding the extras. Edinburgh interim head coach Duncan Hodge: "We got what we needed - a bonus point and a home quarter-final. As ever, there are bits we need to improve on for [playing Munster at Myreside in] two weeks' time, but we've got what we needed. "The crowd [at Myreside] are closer to the players [than at Murrayfield] so they're incredibly positive about it. You look out and see the stands, and it looks great. I think it's been a huge plus, and it's great to see so many fans here tonight. "Hopefully they'll come back in two weeks' time, which will be a massive game." Edinburgh: Kinghorn; Hoyland, Allen, Dean, Brown; Weir, Fowles; Dell, Cochrane (capt), Berghan, Toolis, Gilchrist, Bradbury, Ritchie, Du Preez.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 22-year-old was playing American Donald Young in the first round when he slipped and fell at the baseline. After courtside treatment to his hip, Kyrgios continued until the tie-break but retired after Young took it 7-3. Kyrgios withdrew from recent events in Monte Carlo and Rome with a hip injury. "It just was a sharp pain when I fell," said the world number 20. "I started feeling it when I was walking, when I was landing on my serve. It's exactly what I was feeling in Paris. I mean, it's tough to play through." He added: "I felt pretty much everything I was feeling a month ago. It's not great at the moment. But we'll see." Asked about his chances of recovering in time for Wimbledon, which gets under way on 3 July, Kyrgios said: "I'd play Wimbledon if I was injured pretty bad anyway. "I'm here anyway. I don't really have time to go home or anything. Yeah, I will be playing, for sure." And the Australian joked that the enforced lay-off meant he might spend the coming days at a pub in Wimbledon village. "Dog & Fox," he replied, when asked for his immediate plans. Kyrgios beat Rafael Nadal on his way to the Wimbledon quarter-finals three years ago, and lost to eventual champion Andy Murray in the fourth round last year. "This is a big tournament but I think when you've got Wimbledon, or any of the Grand Slams, looming, you don't hang in there," former Davis Cup captain John Lloyd told BBC Sport. "With Wimbledon coming, you can't take any chances." Media playback is not supported on this device In a 10-part series, BBC broadcaster Barry Davies recalls the most memorable Olympic moments of his 44 years on air from the Games. It happened to me in the semi-final of Euro '96, when Gareth Southgate missed his penalty. All I said was, "Oh, no!" - and that, with a few adjectives added in, was what most people around the country said. Commentary has to be spontaneous. You just pray that at the moment when it really matters, as Kenneth Wolstenholme proved all those years ago, you find the right words to add to the picture. In June, Imran Sherwani - scorer of two goals for GB in the final - recalled the game and Barry Davies' commentary. "Ah, the famous commentary from good old Barry. "I always get asked about it. I rarely go a week without someone mentioning it to me. "Barry is a fabulous supporter of hockey and he has stated that it was one of the greatest moments he has witnessed at an Olympics. "The fact that I scored two in the final and had the famous commentary puts me to the fore but it was very much a team effort." At the Seoul 1988 Olympics, like the British hockey team, I had no idea what effect was being had on people back home in Britain. The British men touched a spark with the public which they did not appreciate. They went to the Games as the number two seeds but right from the start, things were not straightforward. They drew 2-2 with South Korea having been 2-0 up and there was a little bristling on the field, an altercation or two. Then they lost to West Germany and at the end you could see them looking around, thinking: "That's it, we've blown it." But other results meant they had not quite yet blown it - provided they won every match from that point onwards. And that concentrated their minds hugely. They got to the semi-final, a superb game where Britain took a two-goal lead, let Australia back into it, then were saved by a brave goal from Sean Kerly. The final itself was not as good as that match and, in my mind, I don't think I had any doubt that Britain would go on to win it. They scored good goals at the right times, moved the ball around quickly, and Imran Sherwani had a great game down the left side. Every player in the team played well and it became a wonderful occasion. People who knew nothing about hockey got up at six o'clock in the morning in Britain to watch it. The team produced something which got a response from the public. When Britain's third goal was scored - a tap-in from Sherwani - I began recapping it and, as I'm doing that, I'm thinking to myself: Hang on a minute. It's a knife-through-butter situation, there was no defender around. What were they doing, the Germans? So I said: "Where were the Germans?" And as I'm saying that, I'm thinking: Who gives a stuff where the Germans were? We're going to win this! I have to admit the 'we' was there. I was guilty of supporting Great Britain. So then I added: "Frankly, who cares?" Because I didn't, and I doubt if anybody watching in Britain did. Media playback is not supported on this device The game ended with a 3-1 win for Britain and after the match it was total chaos. The ceremony took a long time to come together and that allowed for all sorts of little cameos - the players' wives sat on the rostrum for photographs, the team bowed to the beautifully dressed Korean ladies who had turned up to every match, the minister for sport was lifted off his feet by one of the players, and in the middle of all of this was HRH Princess Anne, walking through the melee with absolute delight. Sport is nothing without emotion and commentary is the art of finding the right words. You don't always know whether you've found them or not - sometimes, you're stupid enough to find them and then add a few more words which take away from what you have just said. It's a matter of fortune. All I'm trying to do is open my mouth and hope my foot is sufficiently removed from it. The foreign affairs committee accused the then PM David Cameron of lacking a coherent strategy for the air campaign. It said the intervention had not been "informed by accurate intelligence", and that it led to the rise of so-called Islamic State in North Africa. The UK government said it had been an international decision to intervene. The action had been called for by the Arab League and authorised by the UN Security Council, the Foreign Office added. An international coalition led by Britain and France launched a campaign of air and missile strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's forces in March 2011 after the regime threatened to attack the rebel-held city of Benghazi. But after Gaddafi was toppled, Libya descended into violence, with rival governments and the formation of hundreds of militias, while so-called Islamic State, also known as Isil and Daesh, has gained a foothold. The committee's key conclusions include: Mr Cameron has defended his handling of the situation, telling MPs in January action was needed because Gaddafi "was bearing down on people in Benghazi and threatening to shoot his own people like rats". But the foreign affairs committee said the government "failed to identify that the threat to civilians was overstated", adding that it "selectively took elements of Gaddafi's rhetoric at face value". The government also failed to identify the "militant Islamist extremist element in the rebellion", the MPs said. "The possibility that militant extremist groups would attempt to benefit from the rebellion should not have been the preserve of hindsight," the committee said, adding: "UK strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the evidence." This report is effectively Parliament's attempt at a Chilcot inquiry into the Libyan intervention, only quicker and shorter. And the criticism is weighty: the government's poor intelligence about the threat to civilians in Benghazi, its lack of awareness of Islamist elements among the rebels, the policy drift from saving lives to getting rid of Gaddafi, and David Cameron's lack of strategy for what should happen next. The subtext is that the lessons of Iraq were ignored. Yet in truth the report also reveals the uncertainty among policymakers about military intervention, torn between avoiding another Srebrenica-style massacre when the West turned a blind eye to the killings of Muslims by Bosnian Serbs in 1995 and the need to avoid another Iraq-style intervention when Western countries got bogged down in an internal conflict. What happened in Libya was a half and half policy, of intervention without occupation. And it is a model that did not work. Crispin Blunt, chairman of the committee, told the BBC: "We were dragged along by a French enthusiasm to intervene, and the mission then moved from protecting people in Benghazi, who arguably were not at the kind of threat that was then being presented... "Indeed, on the basis of the evidence we took, the threat to the people of Benghazi was grossly overstated." The committee said "political options" were available once Benghazi had been secured - including through ex-PM Tony Blair's contacts with Gaddafi - but the UK government "focused exclusively on military intervention". February 2011 - Violent protests break out in Benghazi and spread to other cities. This leads to civil war, foreign intervention and eventually the ousting and killing of Gaddafi in August. March 2011 - UK parliament approves British participation for military intervention alongside a coalition of nations, including France and the US. 2014 - Militants from so-called Islamic State claim responsibility for several attacks in Libya towards to the end of the year, as the US finds evidence that the group is setting up training camps. 2016 - Following years of conflict, a new UN-backed "unity" government is installed in a naval base in Tripoli. It faces opposition from two rival governments and a host of militias. By the summer of 2011, the limited intervention to protect civilians had drifted into an opportunist policy of regime change, the committee said. "That policy was not underpinned by a strategy to support and shape post-Gaddafi Libya. "The result was political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of Isil in North Africa. "Through his decision-making in the National Security Council, former prime minister David Cameron was ultimately responsible for the failure to develop a coherent Libya strategy." The MPs said Libya had been the "first test " for the NSC, which was set up in 2010 to coordinate responses to security threats and integrate the work of various relevant government departments. The committee said there should now be an independent review of the operation of the NSC, which is chaired by the prime minister, to see if it had succeeded in addressing the weaknesses in government decision-making identified in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The Foreign Office defended the intervention. "Muammar Gaddafi was unpredictable and he had the means and motivation to carry out his threats," a spokesman said. "His actions could not be ignored and required decisive and collective international action. Throughout the campaign we stayed within the United Nations mandate to protect civilians. "After four decades of Gaddafi misrule, Libya undoubtedly faces huge challenges. The UK will continue to play a leading role within the international community to support the internationally recognised Libyan Government of National Accord." Unlike previous years, when the economy took centre stage, geopolitical concerns will be the hot topic at the World Economic Forum (WEF). Participants from more than 140 countries are expected to attend. Almost 900 experts identified protracted global disputes as the "major threats affecting mankind". Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East were singled out as being of particular concern. Environmental threats, including water shortages and the spread of infectious diseases, have also been highlighted in the WEF's annual Global Risks report. In its presentation to the press, the WEF stressed that more than "25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall," interstate conflicts, and "relics of the Cold War" were now the most likely risks to global stability. Espen Barth Eide, a former Norwegian defence minister who worked on the report, said the conflicts that posed the biggest risks were not constrained to "direct shooting". Mr Eide said "major power plays", such as the situation between Russia and Ukraine, were of concern, as were strained relations between Asia's two biggest economies - Japan and China. He referred to 2014 as the "annus horribilis" of global politics, and warned that for the first time in many years, politics was encroaching on economics and global trade. Sanctions, such as those imposed on Iran and Russia by Western states, were impinging on business, he added, as was a resurgence of protectionism. Other risks identified in the report include extreme weather events, the failure of national governance, and rising unemployment. The threat of cyber attacks, as highlighted by the recent hack of Sony Pictures, and the "increased vulnerability of classified information" were also given prominence by the WEF trend-setters. "Our appeal [to policy makers] is to invest more into co-operation and diplomacy," Mr Eide told reporters. Shashi Tharoor wanted to amend Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, saying it "violates the fundamental rights" of the homosexual population. According to the 153-year-old colonial-era law, a same-sex relationship is an "unnatural offence" and punishable by a 10-year jail term. Activists say police authorities often misuse the law to harass homosexuals. The MP tweeted that he "will try again in the future" to amend the law. India's treatment of homosexuals has been under the spotlight in recent years. In a landmark ruling in 2009, the Delhi high court had decriminalised gay sex, describing Section 377 as discriminatory. The Indian Supreme Court reversed the order in 2013, causing global outrage with many describing it as "disgraceful". Gay rights activists have been demanding Indian MPs to amend the law in the parliament, but successive governments have failed to take up the issue. Mr Tharoor wrote on the Quint website that "it is time to bring the Indian Penal Code into the 21st century". "Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was enacted in 1860, and criminalises 'carnal intercourse against the order of nature' - a term so archaic that it would invite derision in most modern societies," he wrote. In deeply conservative India, homosexuality is a taboo and many people still regard same-sex relationships as illegitimate. A report from counter-extremism organisation the Quilliam Foundation says smugglers are also being paid to bring the recruits into Europe. It says that when the unaccompanied under-18s arrive in the UK, hundreds then go missing from the care system. A new government strategy in May will address some of the concerns, it adds. The Quilliam Foundation report says groups like IS are active in refugee camps abroad. They distribute food and try to buy allegiance from desperate youngsters by funding the first leg of their journey to Europe. "Children and young people who are indoctrinated and recruited by IS are an important resource," it says. The foundation's report says extremists may attempt to infiltrate refugee groups and radicalise young minds at any stage of the trip. And then when the unaccompanied under-18s reach the UK, hundreds are said to go missing from the care system. Some run away because they fear not being granted asylum, while others fall victim to abduction, trafficking, sexual and economic exploitation, the foundation says. Citing figures from 2015, the report says more than 340 children went missing between January and September, with 132 remaining unaccounted for by the end of the year. According to the report, the government's forthcoming strategy for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of unaccompanied child refugees is expected to include measures aimed at increasing available foster placements. It will also include proposals to expand supported accommodation, and reduce the number of unaccompanied children and trafficked children going missing from care. The number of subscribers on the continent has grown almost 20% each year for the past five years, the GSM Association report on Africa says. It expects there will be more than 735 million subscribers by the end of 2012. Analysts say bad and expensive landline connections in Africa are responsible for the high mobile phone usage. Peter Lyons, GSMA's director of spectrum policy for Africa and Middle East, told the BBC that mobile penetration in Africa had reached 649 million subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2011. "That is equivalent to a 65% penetration rate. Out of every 100 people, 65 have some form of mobile connectivity," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme. In a report, GSMA says that 96% of subscriptions are pre-paid with voice services currently dominating, although uptake of data services is increasing steadily. The Kenyan government's abolition of the 16% general sales tax on mobile handsets in 2009 has resulted in handset purchases increasing by more than 200%, it says. Kenya is at the forefront of mobile money transfers, with 8.5 million users, the report says. Nigeria has the highest number of mobile phone subscriptions in Africa - more than 93 million, representing 16% of the continent's total mobile subscriptions, GSMA says. South Africa, with its more developed infrastructure, has the highest broadband penetration - 6%, followed by Morocco with 2.8%, the report says. "The mobile industry in Africa is booming and a catalyst for immense growth, but there is scope for far greater development," Mr Lyons said. He said 36% of people in the 25 largest African mobile markets still had no access to mobile services. "To take full advantage of its potential, African countries need to allocate more spectrum for the provision of mobile broadband services, as well as introduce tax cuts for the industry," Mr Lyons said. The report says African countries have allocated far less spectrum to mobile services than Europe, the Americas and Asia, which inhibits connectivity to many people in rural areas. "Sufficient spectrum should be provided for mobile broadband services through 3G, HSPA [High-Speed Packet Access] and LTE [Long Term Evolution] technologies," it says. The Terriers ended the 2015-16 Championship season in 19th place after a crushing 5-1 home defeat by Brentford, while the Royals lost 3-1 at Blackburn - their sixth defeat in seven matches - to finish 17th. Just over a year on, it could scarcely be more different. The teams will meet in the play-off final at Wembley on Monday, in a match worth at least £170m to the winner. How did they turn their fortunes around? Huddersfield Town - David Wagner Media playback is not supported on this device Terriers chairman Dean Hoyle was clearly delighted with his newest appointment when Wagner took charge in November 2015. He told the club website: "David's football philosophy is directly in line with ours; he fits for what we need. He will be head coach. He is the club's first from outside the UK and Ireland and he brings a new approach and new ideas." Hoyle had grown weary of British managers delivering short-term results without a long-term plan and what he believed to be short change on his considerable investment into the club. The former Borussia Dortmund II boss lost three of his first four matches, but Championship survival was attained while Wagner set about evolving every aspect of the way the team operated both on and off the field. To the dismay of some players, he moved training sessions in line with when games started and asked the squad to meet for pre-match meals even for home games. Wagner added 13 new players as he sought to build a side able to play the style of football he had had success with in Germany. The results were miraculous. Town won eight of their first 11 league matches, finished in the Championship play-off places for the first time and are one win away from ending a 45-year absence from the top flight. Reading - Jaap Stam Media playback is not supported on this device Following Brian McDermott's rather low-key departure after a second spell in charge of the club that lasted just six months, Reading decided to go Dutch for his successor. Former defender Stam was the man picked for his first full-time foray into management, having most famously been part of Manchester United's treble-winning side of 1999. "Reading are very ambitious, like I am, and want to get back to the Premier League," he said in June 2016. "Hopefully we can have a good partnership and get there." His appointment was not initially warmly welcomed by everyone, as co-chairman Sir John Madejski revealed at Stam's first news conference he had not been behind the decision to sack McDermott. Stam gave a conservative estimate of how his side might fare in his first season. "There are teams in there who will make it hard to be in the top 10," he said in pre-season. "You can't expect us to end up in the top six." After winning only one of their first four league games, a few boos could be heard from the home fans as Reading, who have not been in the Premier League since 2013, bedded into Stam's possession-based approach. Fast forward nine months through a season of just two home defeats and the reality is beyond Stam's and probably many supporters' expectations. "We never dreamed of getting to this game," Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire. "But I've always had the belief in what I can do. It's not just about me, it's about my staff as a manager can't do it on his own. "I'm happy we've achieved this in the first season, but it's going to build the expectation for next season as well. So we need to be realistic. "Let's enjoy it for now and work towards getting that result on Monday." Huddersfield Much like great friend and former Borussia Dortmund colleague Jurgen Klopp, Wagner favours a high pressing 4-2-3-1 formation but it would be overly simplistic to say his team are just about gegenpressing. Wagner puts a great deal of emphasis on quick transitions all around the pitch and there is a lot of onus on all players to put in performances high in both energy and tactical discipline. The tireless work of the front four in both attacking and defensive situations is often at the expense of personal glory. Town's top scorer this season is Elias Kachunga with 13 goals in 47 appearances. However, it is this work-rate that often creates the platform for full-backs Chris Lowe and Tommy Smith to advance beyond the forwards and get behind opposition defences. Wagner is not completely tied to his pressing philosophy and notably changed tactics for August's trip to Newcastle. Huddersfield beat the Magpies 2-1, having spent the majority of the game sitting back and allowing the hosts to dominate possession. Reading Possession, possession, possession has defined Stam's Reading this season. His side have averaged 57.4% in the Championship. As already mentioned, the Dutchman's philosophy has not appealed to everyone. It attracted critics after a 2-0 defeat by Leeds in December when, despite having 77% of the ball, the Royals registered just two shots on target. Although Stam has not necessarily departed from the approach, there has been a sense of it being sacrificed in pursuit of getting results. Yann Kermorgant has spent much of the season as a sole striker, but Lewis Grabban - on loan from Bournemouth - has partnered him in attack in recent matches to offer an additional outlet. Even before the play-off semi-final against Fulham, pundits refused to back Reading's chances of progressing. In both legs, Reading saw considerably less of the ball, but took their opportunities. Huddersfield Almost all of the 13 new players signed last summer have played a major part in Town's success, as well as their two January additions. Aaron Mooy, on loan from Manchester City, was included in the Championship's team of the year after an outstanding season in midfield. Key to the way Town break teams down are the overlapping runs made by full-backs Lowe and Smith, a player who has been reinvented by Wagner, and the duo have chipped in with 13 assists and six goals between them. Perhaps most impressively given their achievements this season, Town's record signing is the £1.8m they paid 1860 Munich for centre-half Christopher Schindler in June 2016. For context, that fee made Schindler the 43rd most expensive signing in the Championship last summer. Reading The biggest success of Stam's squad has undoubtedly been a player who was already at the club before his arrival. French striker Yann Kermorgant, at the age of 35, has weighed in with 19 goals. Another consistent performer has been goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi. The former Wigan player was man of the match in the play-off semi-final second leg, pulling off a string of saves to deny Fulham an equaliser. The Oman international was named player of the season for a second successive year in recognition of his 16 clean sheets. Media playback is not supported on this device John Swift, who joined last summer from Chelsea, has contributed eight league goals from midfield and was named EFL Young Player of the Month for January. "The gameplan's been the main thing this season, everyone working together to get a result," said the 21-year-old. "After the season, I think we'll all look back on how well we've done. But it's a huge game ahead of us and we can't think too much about that." Paul Ogden, Huddersfield Town commentator for BBC Radio Leeds: I would use the two regular season meetings between the teams as a fairly solid indicator for how Monday's game will go. With both teams having won one apiece - and both by a margin of 1-0 - it would not surprise me remotely if this game were to go beyond the 90 minutes. Neither team gives much away and neither defence is particularly vulnerable, so I could envisage a game that may not be the most exciting to the neutral. Should we need extra time, there is no concern that Town's high-energy approach could leave them at a disadvantage on what could be a hot May day at Wembley. Wagner is a meticulous planner and, straight after beating Sheffield Wednesday, the players went to Portugal for a warm weather training camp. Tim Dellor, Reading commentator for BBC Radio Berkshire: Anyone who says they know who will win this game is guessing - it's far too tight to call. With 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. 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. Ayew, 26, signed for Swansea on a free transfer from Marseille in June 2015 and scored 12 goals in his first Premier League season. The Ghana international won the BBC African Player of the Year in 2011 and signs a four-year deal to become West Ham's record signing. "The club have a lot of ambition and have a great manager," said Ayew. "They want to become a bigger club every year and with the new stadium and a new training ground, you can feel they are moving on to another level and I want to be part of this project." He is the club's fifth signing this summer, as they prepare for their first season playing in the London Stadium. Sofiane Feghouli, Havard Nordtveit and Ashley Fletcher signed on free transfers from Valencia, Borussia Monchengladbach and Manchester United respectively. On Monday, the Hammers also completed the transfer of French left-back Arthur Masuaku from Olympiakos in a deal worth a reported £6m. The £20.5m fee for Ayew eclipses the £15m West Ham paid Liverpool for England striker Andy Carroll in June 2013. Like Ronald, she was a former Hollywood performer who made it all the way to the White House. The Reagans' 52-year marriage was once described as the greatest love affair in the history of the American presidency. "My life really began when I met my husband," she once wrote. She was born Anne Frances Robbins in New York on 6 July 1921 but was known as Nancy from an early age. Her father, a car salesman, separated from her mother before she was born. When she was six, her mother Edith - a stage actress - married Loyal Davis, a wealthy neurosurgeon. Dr Davis adopted Nancy, and she grew up in Chicago. Intent on becoming an actress, she joined a touring theatre company in 1946. Her stepfather's money cushioned her against the rigours that confront many young would-be performers. She eventually appeared on Broadway, and finally went to Hollywood, where - as Nancy Davis - she made 11 films between 1946 and 1959. Stardom, however, eluded her. In 1951 she met Ronald Reagan, who had just divorced his first wife, Jane Wyman. By then he was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and the couple worked together on the film Hellcats of the Navy. They married a year later and went on to have son and a daughter, Ron and Patti. Reagan also had two children from his first marriage, Maureen, who died in 2001, and Michael. Nancy Reagan retired from films soon after her marriage and for the rest of her life devoted herself to her family. When her husband became governor of California - and later president - Nancy, an amalgam of protector and mother confessor, was always just behind his shoulder. As First Lady, she sought to emulate the style of one of her predecessors, Jackie Kennedy. To this end, she extensively redecorated the White House, accepted designer dresses worth $1m (£600,000) and a 4,732-piece set of china worth $209,000. But this spending spree provoked a huge outcry from people outraged by what they saw as profligacy and waste while millions of Americans were losing their jobs. Public opinion was also swayed by accusations that Mrs Reagan had a frosty personality, often consulted astrologers, and ordered the dismissal of White House chief of staff Donald Regan in 1987. The former First Lady always rejected the harsh image she acquired during the White House years, and President Reagan himself had to deny that his wife was "some kind of dragon lady". "I often cried during those eight years," she wrote in her 1989 memoirs My Turn. "There were times when I just didn't know what to do, or how I would survive." During her time in the White House, Reagan became well-known as an anti-drugs campaigner. Though undoubtedly pithy, her slogan "Just say no" went unheeded by many young Americans who just said "yes" instead. But there was much public sympathy when in November 1994, Reagan announced that he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. She nursed him as his mental faculties declined and led the nation's mourning when the former president died, aged 93, in June 2004. She continued to campaign after his death, notably for US government funding of stem cell research; it brought her into conflict with her husband's fellow Republican, President George W Bush, who was opposed to the plan. Reflecting on her husband's final years, Mrs Reagan was wistful. "The golden years are when you can sit back, hopefully, and exchange memories, and that's the worst part about this disease," she said in a 2000 interview on CBS television. "There's nobody to exchange memories with... and we had a lot of memories." She came out in support of Republican John McCain in his 2008 bid for the presidency, making a public appearance with the candidate in front of her home in the affluent Bel Air district of Los Angeles. Nancy Reagan's political views encompassed opposition to the legalisation of marijuana and abortions, support for the death penalty and horror at the thought of pre-marital sex, even though she was three months pregnant when she married. Some saw Nancy Reagan as a political innocent, others as a shrewd behind-the-scenes manipulator, who became more and more the power behind White House appointments. Whatever the case, she was a central figure in her husband's political life and an unswerving supporter of the man known as the "great communicator". The trouble happened on Saturday night at a school in the west of the country, local media reports. It began with a few students throwing stones and shouting "our rights", school principal Andrew Otara said. It is the latest in a spate of arson incidents at Kenyan schools. The pupils at the Itierio Boys Secondary School in Kisii were not allowed to stay up to watch the Euro 2016 match between Croatia and Portugal which kicked off at 22:00 local time (19:00 GMT), KTN television news reports. There were also complaints that the state school had introduced new stricter discipline rules but the school has denied this. Students set fire to seven of the school dormitories and tried to damage property at the neighbouring girls school. Kisii County Governor James Ongwae wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday that "efforts by the disaster response teams and police to reach the place have been hampered by the unruly students". He later said that the students caused "millions and millions and millions" of Kenyan shillings-worth of damage, adding that the ringleaders would be punished. There has been fire damage at 20 schools in the area around Kisii in the last six months, Kenya's Standard newspaper reports. Kenya's Education Minister Fred Matiang'i said that students from schools hit by arson attacks would only be allowed to transfer to other institutions with permission. This was to stop future cases of arson and ensure they pay for the damage. "Don't let the students who burnt schools escape paying for the damage because honestly it would be irresponsible for the government to continue spending billions of shillings repairing schools burnt by students, while they go scot free," Mr Matiang'i said. A group of men armed with hammers and baseball bats entered McConnell's bar on Main Street at about 18:00 GMT on Wednesday and assaulted the man before driving off in waiting cars. He was taken to hospital and is being treated for serious but non-life threatening injuries. Six men, aged between 24 and 38, were arrested during follow-up searches. Police appealed to anyone who witnessed the attack or who saw the group of men in the area to contact them. With one game of the regular season remaining, Stenny leapfrogged Peterhead, who were thumped 4-1 by champions Livingston. Airdrieonians beat East Fife 4-0 to replace them in the play-off places. Brechin City strengthened their play-off hopes by beating Albion Rovers, while Alloa Athletic earned a late win over Stranraer. On-loan Hibernian striker Oli Shaw struck either side of half-time as Stenhousemuir, who later had Kieran Miller sent off, gave their chances of avoiding the drop a welcome boost. It was Shaw's third in two matches, after the 19-year-old struck the only goal in last weekend's win over Peterhead. The successive victories have propelled Stenny off the foot of the table, and ahead of the Blue Toon by a point. The new occupants of bottom spot were trounced at Almondvale, with Liam Buchanan, Scott Pitman and Joshua Mullin effectively settling the contest before the interval. James Redman grabbed a consolation for the visitors in the second half, but Daniel Mullen grabbed Livingston's fourth nine minutes from time. Andy Ryan scored a hat-trick as Airdrieonians climbed to third, ejecting East Fife from the play-off places in the process. Christopher Kane was sent off for the Fifers before Iain Russell scored the hosts' fourth. East Fife are level with Queen's Park, and both are now three points behind Brechin, who occupy the third and final play-off position after Paul McLean scored the only goal in their win over Albion Rovers. Kevin Cawley netted a last-minute winner for second-placed Alloa against Stranraer, consigning the visitors to a nervy final weekend - they are three points above Stenhousemuir in 10th position and host East Fife on Saturday. SNP minister Roseanna Cunningham told her party's conference that the plans would undermine industrial relations. Her plea followed condemnation of the bill by Grahame Smith, the General Secretary of the Scottish TUC. Mr Smith was the first leader of the Scottish Trade Unions Congress (STUC) to address an SNP conference. The UK government wants to impose a minimum 50% turnout in strike ballots - with public sector strikes also requiring the backing of at least 40% of those eligible to vote. Under current rules, strikes can be called if the majority of those taking part in a ballot vote in favour. The Trade Union Bill, which would apply to unions in England, Wales and Scotland, will also: Ms Cunningham told the delegates gathered in Aberdeen: "It is our view that all the measures within the bill in combination will affect employees' right to strike, change the relationship between unions and organisations negatively, and lead to greater confusion amongst employees. "This directly impacts across Scottish business and especially our devolved public services in Scotland. I believe this is not a constructive platform upon which we can pursue our ambitions for Scottish workers." She added that she had considered the proposals "very carefully" and believed the only solution was to "ask that Scotland is excluded from the entire bill". There were rumblings about the trade union bill at the SNP conference even before Roseanna Cunningham spoke out this morning. At a Scottish Police Federation fringe event, Michael Matheson MSP batted away questions about whether he would block the bill in Scotland if he could. The justice secretary said it would be a matter for the SNP to decide on as a party, but with a resolution on the agenda which described the bill as an "ideological attack", the position was fairly clear from the outset. This was underlined when Scottish Trades Union Congress secretary Grahame Smith was given a rapturous reception by delegates as he took to the stage to slam the bill. As well as striking popular chords by railing against the Conservatives in Westminster, he used his speech to urge the huge crowd of activists to join up with trade unions. This will be worrying for Labour, traditionally the party of the unions, which will need their support as it looks for a way to overcome the SNP's continuing dominance and win back Scottish voters at next May's Holyrood election. Earlier, from the conference stage, Mr Smith said the bill raised "serious questions about the nature of democracy in the UK". He added: "It [the bill] should be of concern not just to unions and their members, but to anyone concerned about democracy, human rights and civil liberties. "The Tories claim that their proposals on ballot thresholds are about outlawing undemocratic strike action. This has nothing to do with democracy. "I will not take lectures about democracy from a government elected on only 24% of those eligible to vote - and only 10% of those eligible to vote in Scotland - much less, of course, than the proposed thresholds that they wish to impose on strike ballots."

The fire started shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday in the kitchen of a semi-detached property in Britford Close, Kings Heath. The woman was found in the building by firefighters and was treated by paramedics at the scene. West Midlands Ambulance Service said "nothing could be done to save the woman and she was confirmed dead at the scene". West Midlands Fire Service said investigators were trying to establish how it started.

Ospreys' Baldwin was in a vastly inexperienced Wales side that could only draw the series in Japan in 2013. But the 28-year-old says Wales have more experience in their squad four years to face Tonga and Samoa. "That's only going to bode well for us," he said. "There has been a lot more players that have been in and around the environment for probably the past 12 to 18 months if not longer. "There's a lot better blend this time and we've got the senior boys - in the backs we've got Scott Williams and Jamie Roberts." Harlequins centre Roberts is captain of a squad which contains 12 uncapped players with a further 12 players on Lions duty in New Zealand. Wing Steff Evans is among the uncapped players in the squad, linking up with the national team after featuring in Scarlets' Pro12 final win over Munster. The 22-year-old was part of the 2016 Six Nations squad and although he did not feature in the Championships he feels he benefited from the experience. "I was happy to be involved in the Six Nations set-up and wasn't really frustrated," said the Pro12 top try scorer for 2016-17. "It was good to gain experience and I came out of the Six Nations scoring six tries after it so obviously I gained other attributes in my game coming out of that. "I'm still waiting but if the time comes I'll take it with both hands. "If not I'm here to gain experience and build myself as a player inside the Welsh environment." Sporting took the lead through a low shot from Bruno Cesar but Cristiano Ronaldo equalised in the 89th minute with a superb long-range free-kick. And Alvaro Morata - back at Real after two years with Juventus - won it with a stoppage-time header. Elsewhere Borussia Dortmund won 6-0 and Juventus were held to a 0-0 draw. Ronaldo extended his record of failing to score in 43 free-kick attempts at major tournaments for Portugal this summer as they won Euro 2016, but was back on target as he smashed in off the post from 25 yards. It was his 12th career free-kick in the Champions League and took his total to 94 goals in the competition - and 79 in 76 games for Real. Ronaldo has now scored on each of the five occasions he has played his previous clubs in the Champions League. He scored home and away against Sporting for Manchester United in 2007, and scored in both legs of the 2013 quarter-final for Real against United. "No side will play here in Madrid as well as we have done," said Sporting boss Jorge Jesus. "Real didn't have a single chance in the first half, but there's a reason they're European champions. They have that mentality and reputation and changed the game in two minutes." Borussia Dortmund thrashed Legia Warsaw 6-0 in the Polish capital with goals from Mario Gotze, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Marc Bartra, Raphael Guerreiro, Gonzalo Castro and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. In the process they equalled the record for the most different goalscorers in single Champions League match, which has previously been managed by Paris St-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich. Coach Thomas Tuchel was unsurprisingly happy with his Champions League debut. "Even if it looked easy, there was a lot of our work behind it," he said. "Were Dortmund so good or Legia so weak? I don't want to be philosophical here and judge it in this way. We were just the better team today, we had more scoring opportunities than Legia. Winning 6-0 means we put a lot of work in and I hope we will continue to work in this way." Juventus - losing finalists in 2015 - lost playmaker Paul Pogba to Manchester United in the summer and could only manage a 0-0 draw at home to Europa League winners Sevilla. £75m striker Gonzalo Higuain headed against the crossbar with Juve's best chance. "I'm disappointed we had to settle for a scoreless draw because everyone was expecting us to win three or four-nil," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri. "We have five other games in which to secure our passage to the next round, but this game is a reminder that in this competition you have to keep your feet on the ground."

France's military has been in action against Islamist militants in Mali since Friday, helping government forces recapture the central town of Konna. A resident in Gao told AFP news agency all Islamist bases in the town had been destroyed and the militants had fled. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the Islamist advance in Mali had been brought to a halt. "Stopping the terrorists, that's done," he told RTL radio. Had France not intervened, there was a risk that the Islamists could have advanced as far as the capital, Bamako, he said. Islamist groups and secular Tuareg rebels seized northern Mali in April 2012. But the Islamists soon took control of the region's major towns and one group, Ansar Dine, began pushing further south last week, seizing the strategically important town of Konna. The town has since been recaptured by Malian troops with French aerial support. France's decision to intervene in its former colony took many by surprise. A UN-backed international force had not been expected in the west African state until the autumn. France has called a meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss its action on Monday. The foreign minister made it clear that France was now targeting Islamist bases in the north and said Algeria, which shares a long border with Mali, had given permission for its air space to be used for bombing raids "without limit". For months, Gao has been in the hands of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao), which along with Ansar Dine has sought to enforce an extreme interpretation of Islamic law in northern Mali. The town is around 500km (310 miles) north-east of a de facto line dividing the rebel-held north of Mali from the government-run south. Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said four Rafale fighter jets, flying from their base in France, had attacked and destroyed rebel training camps and logistics depots in Gao, which acted as back-up bases for terrorist groups. The air attacks were continuing as part of an offensive to drive back Islamist militants who still controlled large swathes of northern Mali, he said earlier. "There were [air strikes] last night, there are now and there will be today and tomorrow," the minister said. BBC Africa correspondent Andrew Harding says it seems clear that French air power is now preparing the ground for a much bigger offensive against the Islamists. A spokesman for Ansar Dine Islamist group was quoted as saying that the French attacks had focused on three areas: Konna, Douentza and Lere. But later reports said French bombers had also targeted the northern town of Kidal, described as a headquarters for Ansar Dine and its leader Iyad Ag Ghaly. Fearing further French air raids, the group's fighters have moved out of the historic town of Timbuktu, Sahara Media report from neighbouring Mauritania. An unnamed Elysee Palace official quoted by AFP said on Sunday that French armed forces had been surprised by the fighting quality and the equipment of the militants they were up against. "At the start, we thought they would be just a load of guys with guns driving about in their pick-ups, but the reality is that they are well-trained, well-equipped, and well-armed," the official said. "From Libya they have got hold of a lot of up-to-date, sophisticated equipment which is much more robust and effective than we could have imagined." France has sent around 550 troops to the central town of Mopti and the capital, Bamako. They are set to be joined by troops from the neighbouring African states of Niger, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Togo, some of which are expected to arrive in Mali within days. In December, the UN Security Council backed sending a 3,300-strong force from the Ecowas West African regional bloc to recapture rebel-held areas of Mali but their deployment was not expected for some months. The UK has provided two C17 transport planes to aid the French effort and Mr Fabius said practical support was also coming from the US, Denmark and other European countries. A Malian army officer said on Saturday he believed more than 100 militants had been killed. Since the start of the French intervention on Friday, at least 11 Malian soldiers and a French helicopter pilot have also died. Human Rights Watch believes 10 civilians, including three children, died in Konna as Malian forces fought to recapture the town. Medical aid agency MSF said many civilians had fled the Mopti area and some places had become "almost ghost towns". Hundreds of people had already fled over the border into Mauritania, it said. Islamist groups are still holding several French hostages and have threatened reprisals against them and other French targets. This prompted the French government to step up security across the country on Saturday. Coverage is set to reach 95% by 2019, North Yorkshire County Council said. Council leader, Carl Les, said: "Trying to deliver any service across 3,000 sq miles is always going to be a challenge." Now some local community projects are delivering broadband via fibre-optic cable after raising their own funds. Mr Les said: "We thought [100% coverage] was a realistic expectation but with the benefit of experience we're now realising that it's perhaps that little bit more difficult than we thought at first." He said broadband had been delivered to over 90% of locations within "a relatively short time" but he understood those left out would be "very disappointed". High-quality broadband with a minimum speed of 25Mbps will cover 91% of North Yorkshire premises by June at a cost of about £35 million, the council said. Funding of £21m has been agreed by the council for the third and final phase to reach 95% of premises. Simon Peach, led a community scheme in Clapham cum Newby to raise about £250,000 to provide broadband for everyone in the parish. He said about 20 miles (32km) of fibre optic cable had connected about 100 houses and delivered broadband speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps, but it required volunteers to negotiate land access to complete the project. He said: "We did the right thing absolutely. It is frustrating because those of us who live in rural properties are last in the queue." In a statement, the parents of Eilidh MacLeod said: "Words cannot express how we feel at losing our darling Eilidh." Eilidh was one of two teenagers from Barra who were reported missing in the aftermath of the attack. Her friend Laura MacIntyre, 15, is in hospital with serious injuries. It is also believed a father-of-two from South Lanarkshire is among the seriously injured. Prayers have been said for Piotr Chylewska at his parish church, St Bride's RC Church in Cambuslang. Eilidh and Laura, pupils at Castlebay Community School, were among thousands of people who had attended a show by US singer Ariana Grande. Eilidh's parents said: "Our family is devastated and words cannot express how we feel at losing our darling Eilidh. "Eilidh was vivacious and full of fun. She loved all music whether it was listening to Ariana or playing the bagpipes with her pipe band. "As a family we would like to express our thanks and gratitude for the support and kind messages we have received at this difficult time." A minute's silence was held at 11:00 across Scotland to remember the victims of the attack. A crowdfunding page set up to help the girls' families, originally set at £2,000, has raised more than £26,000. The girls were accompanied on their trip to Manchester by family members. Their parents flew to the city following the attack. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the Scottish Parliament that support would be in place on Barra for anyone who needs it, and for as long as it is needed. Ms Sturgeon said the death of Eilidh and the "horrific" injuries suffered by Laura would be felt in a way that was "much, much more intense" in the close-knit island community. She said Scottish government officials had contacted Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - Western Isles Council - to see what further assistance they could offer. The council's education director, who is an educational psychologist, is already on Barra, and will be joined later on Thursday by a further educational psychologist and an NHS clinical psychologist. Ms Sturgeon said: "Between them they are going to be focusing on the support that the families and those who were closest to these two girls will need. "Their aim will be to keep things as normal as possible for the school that the girls attended, but to make sure that there is the support in place for young people who are going to need it." The first minister also pledged that support would be available "not just today, next week or next month, but for as long as it is needed". And she expressed her "anger and disbelief" at leaks to the media in the US of sensitive intelligence about the Manchester attack investigation, which Ms Sturgeon said was "completely unacceptable and cannot be defended". The BBC understands that police investigating the attack have stopped sharing information with the US in order to prevent further leaks. Other party leaders also paid their respects to the victims of the attack during the subdued session of first minister's questions. Police Scotland, which has sent extra officers to Barra, said at least 41 people from Scotland were at the Manchester Arena during the suicide attack. Troops have been deployed at Ministry of Defence and civil nuclear sites across Scotland to free up armed officers after the UK's terror threat level was raised to critical. But Chief Constable Phil Gormley said there was currently "no foreseeable prospect" of Police Scotland asking for soldiers to publicly patrol in Scotland, as they are doing in some areas of England. Mr Gormley said security arrangements around upcoming events such as the Scottish Cup Final, the visit to Scotland of former US president Barack Obama, the Edinburgh Marathon and the Lisbon Lions memorial events in Glasgow had been reviewed to ensure they were "fit for purpose". But he said he was confident the force had "sufficient firearms capability to meet all foreseeable threats and demands going forward". Comhairle nan Eilean Siar confirmed that additional support had already been made available to staff and pupils at Castlebay Community School, where the girls were pupils. A comhairle spokesman said; "We are continuing to closely monitor events. We are mindful of the impact on pupils and staff at the school and are providing all necessary support." On Wednesday the head teacher at the school, Annag Maclean, said staff and pupils were "in shock, feeling numb and struggling to come to terms" with a "violent attack targeted at young people". She said all their thoughts were with Laura and Eilidh and their families. The local authority said it was also having discussions with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) regarding the exceptional circumstances for pupils sitting exams in the coming week. The Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, Bishop Brian McGee, has travelled to Barra to visit the school and to offer support to Laura and Eilidh's families. The Church of Scotland's Rev Dr Lindsay Schluter, minister for Barra and South Uist congregations, has also offered support. It seemed as if the glamorous age of superfast aviation was here to stay. But Concorde was costly, noisy and thirsty on fuel, and was withdrawn from service in 2003, some 36 years after the first prototype rolled out of the hangar. So will supersonic passenger flight ever make a comeback? The sad truth for speed freaks is that reducing carbon dioxide emissions, rather than increasing speed, has become the new imperative for the aviation industry amid widespread concerns about global warming. This means most of the innovation is happening in the fields of engine efficiency, aerodynamics and cabin comfort. Modern passenger jets are very different beasts compared to their forebears, despite their basic shapes remaining remarkably similar. They now feature much more sophisticated avionics, lightweight composite materials, and engines that are 90 times more powerful than their 1940s predecessors, yet 70% more fuel-efficient. They are also a lot safer. Manufacturers, such as Rolls-Royce, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, believe there's plenty more efficiency to be squeezed out of the turbofan jet engine over the coming decades. Tomorrow's Transport is a series exploring innovation in all forms of future mobility. "Our new Advanced engines coming in 2020 will incorporate carbon fibre blades with a titanium edge to counter the increased weight of the bigger engines," says Alan Newby, Rolls-Royce's chief engineer, future programmes and technology. Engines are getting bigger to allow more air to flow through but at slower speeds, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise, says Mr Newby. New materials, such as "ceramic matrix composites" and "single crystal turbine alloys", will allow engines to run at higher temperatures - in excess of 2,200C (4,000F) in some cases - which also improves efficiency. "Subsonic [under 761mph] is definitely going to be with us for a long, long time, because a driver of the future is the impact on the environment," says Prof Jeff Jupp, fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Airlines, like car manufacturers, are also looking towards hybrid engines as a way of reducing emissions. "In the future, there is the possibility of electric propulsion, with a gas-powered engine driving the generator to create electricity," says Prof Jupp. "Batteries would be included as a back-up for the turbofans." In 2014, Airbus showed off an all-electric E-Fan training plane, but large-scale electric passenger planes are unlikely unless batteries can be made a lot lighter, experts believe. Such hybrid engines distributed across new aerodynamic body shapes, such as the "blended" or "flying" wing, could improve fuel efficiency even further, says Prof Jupp. Boeing, Nasa and others have been experimenting with blended wing concepts, which can reduce a plane's total surface area by 25% to reduce drag and save fuel. They are not without problems, however - the lack of tail fin makes them inherently less stable - but fly-by-wire computers could help iron this out, engineers believe. Perhaps the most radical innovation in aviation, though, is happening inside the cabin. For example, Spike Aerospace has talked about getting rid of windows completely and replacing them with digital screens relaying camera images of the view outside or any other media the passenger wants. Removing windows would reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve aerodynamics, the company believes. And the general trend is towards wireless connectivity and interactive displays, says Jared Shoemaker of BAE Systems, although this will present extra security challenges. "Traditionally, cabins have been closed worlds not connected to anything outside," says Mr Shoemaker, director of cabin systems. "But now it's all about connectivity and interacting with the crew and other passengers through personal devices." Removing heavy wires will save weight and allow for more innovative cabin layouts, argues Anthony Harcup of Acumen Design Associates, the company behind the Airbus A380's interior. "The next big revolution will be creating true comfort in economy," he says. New smart materials will allow passengers to take complete control of their environments, setting lighting and heating levels, for example, while seats will mould themselves to your body shape, he believes. Airbus even envisages aircraft skin that can become transparent, allowing passengers to see outside. "In 20 years the jet will look remarkably similar but the passenger experience will be completely different," says Mr Shoemaker. "Flexible displays and projections will make you feel you're not walking into a tube, but a much softer, bigger space. Whatever you can do in your living room you'll be able to do on a plane." Not everyone has given up on the dream of supersonic flight, however. Some companies, such as Spike Aerospace, Aerion Corporation and Hypermach, have said they're developing supersonic jets aimed at the business market. But to date, none has taken to the skies. The problem with travelling much faster than the speed of sound is that air friction can increase surface temperatures to well over 1,000C (1,830F), putting huge strains on aircraft materials. Shockwaves are also an issue. And travelling at such speeds uses a lot more fuel and creates a lot more noise, which is why supersonic flight is banned over populated areas. But if supersonic flight seems less of a priority these days, the prospects for hypersonic (more than five times the speed of sound) seem vanishingly small. "Realistically we're not going to see the first hypersonic passenger plane for another 20 years," says Alan Bond, chief executive of Reaction Engines, whose company specialises in hydrogen-fuelled rocket engines. Easy access to space may happen sooner than that, he believes. Nasa has demonstrated the feasibility of air-breathing scramjet [supersonic combustion ramjet] engines capable of hypersonic speeds. In 2009, its unmanned X-43A jet blasted to nearly Mach 10. And in 2010, the X-51A maintained a speed of more than Mach 5 for more than 200 seconds. But designing a craft that can survive such speeds and temperature extremes for any length of time is proving extremely difficult. Reaction Engines' Sabre rocket, which can switch from air-breathing mode to one that uses liquid oxygen to burn hydrogen at very high speeds and altitudes, has been given the thumbs up by the European Space Agency. "We're working towards a demonstration Sabre engine by 2019," says Mr Bond. But development will require hundreds of millions of pounds, he believes, and passenger aircraft powered by such engines would have to have huge fuel tanks, since hydrogen is a very low-density gas. "Supersonic travel is possible but the jury is out on hypersonic travel - the costs are just too high," says Prof Jupp. "Some people may be prepared to pay an exorbitant amount for the tickets, but it is likely to be a very niche market." The 21-year-old, who can play centrally or at right-back, joined the Gunners from Southampton for £16m in 2014. He quickly became a first-team regular for Arsenal, and won three senior caps for England, but he only featured 12 times in last season's Premier League. Chambers' Arsenal and England team-mate Jack Wilshere could also be going out on loan this week. Head coach Aitor Karanka said Chambers had rejected an offer from another club to join Boro. Chambers is Boro's 11th signing this summer, with the Premier League club bringing in goalkeeper Victor Valdes, striker Alvaro Negredo and midfielder Marten de Roon among others. The Gunners signed Deportivo La Coruna forward Lucas Perez for £17.1m and Valencia's Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi, for a fee in excess of £35m, on Tuesday. His corporate jet collided with a snow plough and was then engulfed in flames. All four people on board were killed. The driver of the snow plough was drunk, according to Russian investigators. Mr de Margerie, 63, had been chief executive of Europe's third largest oil company since 2007. He was highly regarded within the oil industry. A statement from the office of French President Francois Hollande said: "Christophe de Margerie dedicated his life to French industry and to building up the Total group. He made it into one of the very top global companies "Francois Hollande cherished Christophe de Margerie's independent character, original personality and his devotion to his country." Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his condolences. News agency Tass quoted a Kremlin spokesman as saying: "The President highly appreciated de Mergerie's business skills, his continued commitment to the development of not only bilateral Russian-French relations, but also on multi-faceted levels." Analysis: Andrew Walker, Economics correspondent, BBC World Service Christophe de Margerie leaves a large gap to be filled. He was a hugely influential figure in the global energy industry and a colourful and instantly recognisable character. For colleagues as well as family, there's no question that it's a huge loss. But already the markets appear to think the company will cope. The board is seen as strong and a wobble in the share price seems to have been no more than that. It is significant that Mr de Margerie was in Moscow. He took the view that the energy industry needed to go to difficult places. Russia is a prime example. A Total project there - a joint venture with Russia's Lukoil to explore for shale oil - has come to a halt due to Western sanctions. Mr de Margerie joined Total Group after graduating from the Ecole Superieure de Commerce in Paris in 1974. At the company, where he had spent his entire career, he was nicknamed "Big Moustache". John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil, told the BBC: "It's a huge loss to the industry and its future focus. "What he has done for Total in repositioning the company to return to integrity and sound operations is deeply respected and highly regarded." According to Russia's Vedomosti newspaper, Mr de Margerie had met Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at his country residence outside Moscow to discuss foreign investment in Russia. Total is an important player in the Russian energy market and Mr de Margerie was a staunch defender of maintaining ties, despite Western sanctions against Moscow over its actions in Ukraine. Total is one of the biggest foreign investors in Russia and is planning to double its output from the country by 2020. It is working on the Yamal project, a $27bn joint venture to extract natural gas in north-west Siberia. During his time at the helm of Total Mr de Margerie successfully defended the company against allegations of corruption around the UN oil-for-food programme in Iraq. He maintained the company's investments in Burma and Iran despite US sanctions against those countries. Shares in Total were down sharply at the open, but have since recovered. Mr de Margerie's jet had been due to fly to Paris from Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport. Vnukovo, is located to the southwest of Moscow and is used by President Vladimir Putin and other government officials. Russia's emergencies ministry said in a statement the accident had involved a Falcon-50 plane shortly before midnight local time (20:00 GMT) on Monday. "Among the chief versions for what happened, investigators are looking at a mistake by the air traffic controllers and the actions of the driver of the snow plough. Apart from that, they will also check the versions of poor weather conditions and mistake by the crew," said Russia's Investigative Committee, a federal agency that answers to President Putin. "At the current time, it has already been established that the driver of the snow plough was drunk." Pictures from the scene show the driver looking shocked, but walking unaided and without any obvious serious injury. Reports say the visibility at the airport was 350m (1,150ft). Total did not have a succession plan in place for Mr de Margerie, but in July he said that a replacement would come from inside the company. The company plans to hold a board meeting as soon as possible. Philippe Boisseau, in charge of Total's new energy division, which is developing renewable energy sources, has been mentioned as one possible successor. Patrick Pouyanne, president of Total's refining and chemicals division, has also been named as a possible new boss. The 22-year-old had a spell on loan in the National League at Southport last term, making four appearances. "I'm glad I had that experience with Southport, so I know what to expect," he told the club website.

Media playback is not supported on this device Britain is the first country to improve on a home medal haul at the next Games, their 67 beating 65 from London 2012. Some team members had returned home already, but 320 athletes and support staff were on British Airways flight BA2016, which landed at Heathrow. The Boeing 747 had a gold nose cone and a "victoRIOus" livery. "I have only been here in the country a couple of hours and it's amazing the number of people who have come here to welcome us," said swimmer Adam Peaty, 21, who won Britain's first Rio gold medal with a world record in the men's 100m breaststroke. The plane carried back poles for the pole vault, bicycles, javelins and a 6.7-metre sail, while 77 bottles of champagne and a three-course menu were on offer. Max Whitlock, who won two individual gold medals in the men's gymnastics, and Nicola Adams, who retained her women's flyweight title, were the first two athletes off the plane. "Wow, that reception was crazy. Thank you Great Britain and everyone else for all your support," British diver Jack Laugher, who won gold and silver in Rio, wrote on Twitter. BBC News reporter Daniela Relph was at Heathrow and said she could see "layers and layers of people on all the floors of Terminal five leaning over barriers... to welcome Team GB home". A total of 67 medals, with 27 golds, put Team GB second in the medal table - above China for the first time since the latter returned to the Games in 1984. They won gold medals across more sports than any other nation - 15 - and improved on their medal haul for the fifth consecutive Olympics. Sprinter Dina Asher-Smith won bronze in the 4x100m relay in her first Olympics. "It was really cool," the 20-year-old said. "The strangest thing for me as a first-time Olympian I haven't been in this kind of environment before - something so big and something which makes the nation so proud. "The cabin crew were 'well done, well done'. We don't realise how much of an effect it has on people back home and getting on the plane was the first part of realising we have done the nation proud and that was amazing."

We all got a glass of champagne. It's been a nice celebration. "Everyone's really glad to be back home but it's been a really nice way to end it." Of the 366 athletes who went to the Rio Games for Team GB, 130 of them - just over 35% - returned with a medal, including every member of the 15-strong track cycling team. Katherine Grainger, 40, became Britain's most decorated female Olympian by taking silver alongside Victoria Thornley in the double sculls in rowing. "It felt like a very special team to be a part of and as the medals start rolling in there is an immense sense of pride that is infectious and everyone wants to add to that," said Grainger. The United States topped the medal table with 121 medals and 46 golds. "To topple the Americans might be a long shot," said Bill Sweeney, chief executive of the British Olympic Association, when asked if the US could be caught. "It [Rio 2016] has been amazing and incredible and one of those unbelievable moments in life. "The platform has been set for continued success. "Tokyo will be tougher that it was in Rio. The competition will be intense but then we have a very talented team." Sally Gunnell, Olympic gold medallist in the 400m hurdles in 1992, told BBC News that the prospect of leading a successful team home can be a motivational factor for athletes for Tokyo 2020. "What inspires you to carry on is that you want to be that person at the front," she said. "You are aiming for four years and thinking, 'I want to be at the front next time'. It is lovely to see the excitement of the whole team." Manchester and London will host events to recognise the success of Britain's Olympic and Paralympic athletes. BBC News reporter Dominic Howell: "You've done us proud" and "we love you" were just some of the messages of support shouted by a 100-strong crowd at Heathrow as they welcomed home Team GB. Adults, children and press cameras congregated outside the airport's Cafe Nero for more than an hour in an effort to catch a glimpse of their favourite athlete. Even the police seemed in high spirits and were spotted handing out flags, while air hostesses joined the excitement to take pictures on their phones. Arguably the largest delegation had come from Wapping Hockey Club and as the athletes began to arrive, passersby quickly gathered round to wave and cheer before dashing off to catch flights. Crawley couple Trevor and Lynn Bowman stopped by to watch the jubilant scenes just before they jetted off to New York to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary. "I'm as proud as punch," said Trevor. "When you consider we're just a small island they've done phenomenally well."

Huang Jiefu said China would now rely on using organs from voluntary donors under a new national donation system. Prisoners used to account for two-thirds of transplant organs, based on previous estimates from state media. For years, China denied that it used organs from executed prisoners, but admitted it a few years ago. Official figures from China's newly formed health and planning commission show that, on an annual basis, there are on average 300,000 patients who need organ transplants, but only 10,000 of them are able to get them, state media said. By Michael BristowBBC News In just a few years, China has moved from denying to admitting and now phasing out the macabre practise of harvesting organs from executed prisoners. In the first few years of the century, officials were still refusing to confirm reports that they used organs taken from convicted criminals for transplant operations. But in 2006, an undercover BBC team revealed that prisoners' organs were being sold to wealthy foreign patients. China then began admitting it was, after all, using the organs. It still is. According to figures supplied to Reuters news agency, more than half of transplants carried out this year used organs from executed prisoners. The argument put forward by the authorities has been that these convicts were giving something back to society, although it is not clear how many prisoners gave their consent freely. China now seems to have bowed to global pressure to stop a practise many saw as unacceptable. Mr Huang, who is in charge of organ transplants and one of the country's leading surgeons, said the health ministry would start using organs from voluntary citizen donors in November. More than 150 Chinese hospitals are expected to to confirm their participation, he added. "I am confident that before long, all accredited hospitals will forfeit the use of prisoner organs," he told Reuters news agency on Thursday. He also told the state-run Global Times that it was time for China to establish a "suitable organ donation system". Human rights groups estimate that China executes thousands of prisoners a year, but correspondents say that the official figures remain a state secret. In March last year, Mr Huang announced China's pledge to end the practice of taking organs from executed prisoners within the next five years. At the time, he said that organ donations from prisoners were not ideal because infections are usually high, affecting the long-term survival rates of those who undergo the transplants. The left- and right-wing blocs, each a collection of five parties struggling for attention, are running head-to-head in one of the closest races in recent memories. And voters will find no large policy differences on which to base a decision. Foreign policy is rarely mentioned in this election. Instead, the agenda is a familiar one: The welfare-benefits debate started rolling when the right-wing bloc's leader and former Prime Minister, Venstre's Lars Lokke Rasmussen, held his first campaign press conference. In an attempt to provide a vivid example of welfare benefits disincentivising work, Mr Rasmussen told a story of the owner of a small company, Panorama, who had seen an employee quit because the extra income gained by working was too little. Mr Rasmussen, his reputation previously tarnished by expenses scandals, was unable to guarantee the veracity of the story, and the former employee was nowhere to be found. When the small business owner came forward to back Mr Rasmussen's story, the damage was done, and it was later revealed that he was a salaried campaigner for Venstre. In the ensuing debate, myriad statistics about unemployment, benefits, salaries and technical details of the Danish social system pervaded the campaign coverage. Parties, unions, industry organisations, non-governmental organisations and economists produced their own numbers, each arguing that the others were manipulating, lying or misinforming. To most Danes, unfamiliar with the intricacies of Denmark's complex welfare benefits system, the debate will have seemed technocratic. To the right-wing bloc, it was a disaster. The first week of the campaign saw a solid lead in the polls, which had persisted for more than three years, vanish in the course of a week. The campaign agenda then turned to refugee and immigration policy, an electorally salient issue since the late 1990s. Ever since then, refugee and immigration policy has been a sore spot for the Social Democrats. Once the singular dominant party in Danish politics, the Social Democrats have seen hundreds of thousands of voters abandon them for the Danish People's Party, founded in 1995 on popular disaffection with an immigration policy seen as too lax. Today, about one in five Danish voters opt for the Danish People's Party. The Social Democrats have belatedly reacted by shifting to the right. To the consternation of many left-wing voters, the Social Democrat Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt regularly touts the new restrictions on asylum seekers her government has put in place. Nevertheless, the agenda shifting from welfare benefits to refugee and immigration policy has benefited the right-wing bloc, seen by voters as more credibly committed to a restrictive position. The right-wing bloc points to a large increase in refugee flows during the past four years as evidence of the current government's leniency. But this criticism ignores the impact of the Syrian crisis on refugee flows to all European countries. Though the ballot will feature no fewer than 10 parties, the election is typically framed in presidential terms as a choice between the former Prime Minister, Mr Rasmussen, and the current Prime Minister, Ms Thorning-Schmidt. Perhaps due to frustration with this binary choice, the similarity of the domestic policy agendas, and the technocratic nature of the debate, voters have turned their attention away from established parties with government experience and towards newer, ideologically purer alternatives. The best examples of such alternatives are the self-declared green party, Alternativet, literally meaning "the Alternative", and the libertarian, right-wing party Liberal Alliance. Both appeal to younger voters in particular. Together with the right-wing populist Danish People's Party and the Red-Green Alliance to the left, they suggest that the Danes are hungry for more ideologically distinct politics. Opinion polls suggest the current election will result in the lowest level of support for parties with government experience since 1973. The EU popped up at about the halfway point of the campaign. Partly in response to rising euroscepticism among right-wing voters, the right-wing bloc promised to work for an alliance with the UK government on EU matters. In the 2014 European Parliament elections, the eurosceptic Danish People's Party's charismatic MEP Morten Messerschmidt personally received no less than 20% of the vote. There are precedents. In 2011, during the last right-wing government, the Danish People's Party managed to convince the governing parties to introduce a highly controversial border control, which prompted a heated response from Berlin and Brussels. The Danish government had to backtrack and insist that the proposed initiatives would not violate the Schengen agreement, before realising that the border control was incompatible with a free-movement zone. Should Denmark elect a right-wing government, the country's EU policy is indeed likely to be influenced by the Danish People's Party's euroscepticism. This could make Denmark a possible ally in British negotiations on limiting EU cross-border welfare rights and the removal of the "ever closer union" phrase in the EU treaty, though many other member states will be critical of such demands, finding them destructive rather than pragmatic. But the willingness to rethink Danish EU policy may be the biggest difference between right and left, as the dominant political agendas look very much the same. The Danish election is thus best described as a close race for the status quo.

The listed building on Roseangle has been empty since a fire in 1998. The council had previously imposed a repair notice as it is in a conservation area. However, the authority said no work had been done at the 1830s building since. Councillors on the city development committee will be asked to approve the purchase order on Monday. Committee convener Will Dawson said: "This is another significant step in a long process, during which we believe we have given the owner of this property every chance to carry out the repairs needed. "It is category C listed after Historic Scotland recognised its significance in 1989, and is in the heart of the West End Lands Conservation area. "The prominent location and significant deterioration of the building over the past few years have raised concerns not just with council officers but also among local people unhappy at the way it has been left. "That situation is not sustainable so we are looking to take the building and its future under council control." About 15,000 cyclists will descend on south Wales when Cardiff hosts Velothon Wales on Sunday. The 140km (87m) race will also go through Newport, Torfaen, Monmouthshire and Caerphilly, with some roads shut. Organisers said they contacted those affected so they could plan around it. Anna Jones, of Usk Garden Centre, in Llanbadoc, told BBC Wales' Jason Mohammad programme she expected the business to lose about £10,000 because customers would not be able to get there. "We've got to think about our future and the fact that our trade is 12 weeks of the year and to be closed on a Sunday is a disaster for us," she said. "No one has sat us down around a table, looked for alternatives." Carol Knight, wedding organiser at Glen Yr Afon Hotel in Usk, said a couple getting married at the venue had to get special permission from race organisers for the bridal car to travel to the hotel. "It's caused an enormous amount of distress... it was thought they would have to cancel it [the wedding]." "We [the hotel] would support anything that supports tourism in Wales, and we have no issue with this particular event, it was just landed on us in February and we weren't thought of." David Evans, who lives in Talywain, Torfaen, said the road closures would leave him "marooned" and he had to cancel plans "because there's no way I can get out". Speaking in the Senedd last week, First Minister Carwyn Jones said Velothon organisers should have spoken to residents and businesses earlier, but he was confident they were now informed of the consequences of the event. But Steve Jenkins, chairman of Caerphilly Cycling Club, said many businesses would be benefit from the race. "There's thousands of cyclist coming from across the country, and they have to eat, they have to sleep. There's going to be spectators going to the event; they'll be spending money along the route," he said. Velothon Wales organisers said: "Over the past six months, we have engaged with hundreds of businesses and thousands of residents along the route to inform them of the event and the associated road closures so that they can plan around it." The claim: The European Union would lose out more than the UK from the introduction of tariffs. Reality Check verdict: The EU would risk more in cash terms. The UK would risk a higher proportion of its exports. "Don't just look at it from a UK perspective," he said. "The European Union has a massive surplus in goods with the UK. Who does it harm more if we end up in a new tariff environment?" The EU does indeed have a trade surplus with the UK in goods, which means that EU countries sell more goods to the UK than they buy from us. The UK economy, which is dominated by the service sector, has a trading surplus in services with the EU, which is not big enough to cancel out the deficit in goods. But Dr Fox was talking about goods, not services. In 2015, the UK trade figures show the UK exported £134bn worth of goods to the EU and imported £223bn worth. The question Dr Fox asked was who it would harm more if there were tariffs introduced, which damaged that trade. In cash terms, clearly the EU has more to lose. But in percentage terms the picture is different. UK exports of goods to the EU in 2015 accounted for 47% of total goods exports. According to the NIESR, EU goods exports to the UK account for about 16% of its total exports of goods. So if you're looking at whether the UK or the EU would risk a greater proportion of their trade from tariffs, clearly the UK would lose more. There may be some impact on these figures from what's called the Rotterdam Effect, but it makes a relatively small difference, as we discussed in this Reality Check. But of course the EU does not negotiate only as a bloc - it is made up of 27 other countries, some of which will be less concerned about UK trade than others and all of which will get to vote on the eventual deal. The group unexpectedly announced on Wednesday that it would begin a truce for an unlimited time from Saturday. The move has been welcomed by the UN and the European Union. However, Colombia's government said it would not join the rebels in the truce. Hours ahead of the ceasefire, the army said Farc had killed five soldiers in an ambush. The rebels attacked a patrol in a rural area of western Colombia. President Juan Manuel Santos described Farc's ceasefire declaration as a "gift... full of thorns". He has rejected rebel calls for a bilateral truce, warning that this would give them the chance to re-arm. He also condemned the ambush, saying the soldiers had died "defending the security of their fellow Colombians". Representatives of Colombia's government and the Farc have been holding talks in the Cuban capital, Havana, for more than two years. The talks were almost derailed in November after the Farc captured a Colombian general, Ruben Dario Alzate, prompting President Santos to suspend the negotiations. The rebels released the general unharmed in an effort to revive the talks. Earlier this week, they announced that they would observe a truce starting at midnight local time (0500 GMT) on Saturday. It should become a formal armistice and would only end if they were attacked, they said. The Farc have declared ceasefires in the past, but these have been temporary. It has also staged similar attacks to the one on Friday, just before the commencing its ceasefires. Caroline Lucas and Jonathan Bartley said they did not believe the British people had voted for the kind of Brexit being pursued by the prime minister. The pair were speaking at their party's spring conference in Liverpool. Ms Lucas voted against triggering Article 50 and has argued for a second referendum on the final Brexit deal. The MP said the Green Party offered a "hopeful alternative" to young people "let down by Brexit". "Young people deserve a party that will say loudly and clearly: freedom of movement is your right, tuition fees must be scrapped and private rents brought under control," she told the conference. The Green Party of England and Wales is keen on forming electoral pacts with other anti-Brexit parties in the event of a "snap" general election. Mr Bartley said: "The path to reform of democracy must begin with a reshaping of the mainstream of British politics. "And yes, friends, that means sometimes putting aside our differences when we face a lost generation of Tory rule under the influence of the likes of Farage, Nuttall and Arron Banks." Mr Bartley said the Labour Party - which has said it will back the government over Brexit provided it protected workers' rights and secured access to the free market - had failed to hold ministers to account. And he said the Conservative government's Brexit strategy was not what people had voted for in June, telling party members: "None of this was in the referendum question put to the country last year." "I know that the British people do not want their fellow Europeans, who've made their homes here in Britain in good faith, treated as hostages or bargaining chips whilst the prime minister gambles with their future," he added. He urged party members and supporters not to give up hope "in the face of Trump and Brexit, terror, wars and environmental crises," adding "it's easy to feel powerless but that's what the establishment wants". It touched the worlds of entertainment, media and charity work, as well as the military itself. What do we know of the victims? Sixty-four members of the official choir of the Russian armed forces, men and women, were on the doomed plane, plus Lt-Gen Valery Khalilov, the Alexandrov's conductor. The Alexandrov, which also includes an orchestra and dancers, is also known as the Red Army Choir, created in 1928. It takes its name from its first director, Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov, who wrote the music to the Soviet and Russian national anthem. Responding to news of the disaster, celebrated Russian actor Vasily Lanovoy could barely control his emotions as he explained the ensemble's significance: "When I was a kid, during the [Nazi] occupation in 1941, I heard their 'Stand up, great country' for the first time, on the third day of the war. I think it is a great ensemble and it needs to be revived. It should not disappear." Among the ensemble's most distinguished artistes was solo dancer Kirill Kolobrodov, 39. He had spent 20 years performing and had officially retired, with the title of "Labour Veteran". His father Alexander said he loved the ensemble so much that he had extended his contract for another year. "He was my only son... After New Year he was going to fly to China for a three-week work trip, but it's all over now," Alexander Kolobrodov told Russia's Life News. The dancer is survived by a pregnant wife and three-year-old son. Ralina Gilmanova, 22, was a ballerina in the ensemble and died with her boyfriend aboard the Tu-154 jet, solo singer Mikhail Vasin, 25. They had met about 18 months ago in the ensemble. One of Gilmanova's friends, called Ildar, told Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda daily that the couple were planning to get married and had met each other's parents. Gilmanova began her dance career at a ballet school in Kostroma, an historic city northeast of Moscow. Ildar, who also learnt dancing there, said she had asked him for advice about her career. "She was ambitious - she was very keen to get into the Alexandrov Ensemble, and I was all for it, I supported her... She radiated good spirits, she smiled a lot," he said. Lt-Gen Valery Khalilov, 64, was conductor and artistic director of the ensemble, as well as a composer. He was decorated as a People's Artist of the Russian Federation in 2014 - one of Russia's highest honours. He was born in Uzbekistan, and his father conducted military bands. From the age of 11 he specialised in music at school, mastering the clarinet, and learnt conducting at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire. He was appointed conductor of the Alexandrov Ensemble in April this year, having spent years conducting other military orchestras. As a top musician he travelled to many European countries, as well as the US and North Korea. He composed works for brass bands, choirs and chamber ensembles. Liliya Pyreva, 19, was a ballerina who only joined the ensemble six months ago - and she was the youngest member. Joining the Alexandrov was a dream come true for her. A teacher who coached her at the Voronezh Choreographic School said Pyreva had expressed extraordinary emotion in her final ballet exam. She was performing the role of a girl bidding farewell to her soldier boyfriend, as he headed for the war zone. "Liliya got it perfectly," Anastasia Shcheblykina told Voronezh website Svezhiy Veter. "I watched and thought 'she's just 19 - where did she learn how hard it is to say goodbye to loved ones?' And now it's really hard for me too." One of Russia's best-known humanitarian figures, Yelizaveta Glinka - known popularly as Dr Liza - was executive director of the Fair Aid charity. She was on the flight to deliver medication to a university hospital in Latakia. In the Russian capital, she is mostly remembered for feeding, clothing and providing medical care to the homeless people who sleep in train stations. "Liza Glinka helped the people that everyone turned away," human rights activist and opposition journalist Zoya Svetova, who knew her, told AFP news agency. She was also known for evacuating sick and injured children from the war-torn separatist regions of east Ukraine, for treatment in Moscow. Her actions in Ukraine brought her the enmity of some on the Ukrainian government side, who went so far as to accuse her of "abducting" children, while she was also criticised in Russia herself for her political views. But tributes were paid to her right across the political spectrum in Russia. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former oil tycoon jailed under President Vladimir Putin, said: "She was ready to lay down her life for what she thought right. And she did so. Our disagreements are in the past. May she be eternally remembered." Margarita Simonyan, head of Russian state broadcaster RT, wrote: "Dr Liza was a person who attracted nothing but admiration. Not for herself, it was never about her, only about the sick." Just a few weeks before the crash, Dr Glinka was quoted (in Russian) as saying: "We are never sure we'll come back alive because war is hell on earth." Nine members of the Russian media were aboard the jet, including crews from Channel One and the NTV channels, and the military TV channel, Zvezda. Their deaths became the subject of a furious row on Russian social media after socialite Bozhena Rynska suggested on Facebook (in Russian) that some of them had been killed as divine retribution for past misreporting by pro-Kremlin media. Her comments are now being investigated by Russian prosecutors, an official told Russia's Ria news agency. The head of the Russian defence ministry's Department of Culture, Anton Gubankov, worked to popularise the armed forces with the young. He once rapped on YouTube to encourage young Russian men not to fear military conscription. He also wrote the song Polite People, which celebrates the Russian soldiers who oversaw the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2013 in a largely bloodless operation. The plane was flown by its regular crew of eight, Sergei Bainetov, chief of the Russian Armed Forces flight safety service, told the Rossiya state TV channel. Maj Roman Volkov (more than 3,000 flight hours) was in command, with Capt Alexander Rovensky his co-pilot (10 years of aviation service), the channel says. Two civil servants, one of them Oxana Badrutdinova, were also among the dead. Jersey is hosting the 2016 competition and Constable Steve Pallett was due to receive a flag from the current hosts. Mr Pallett apologised to event organisers and said he was sorry for wasting some £1,000 of taxpayers money. He said he did not realise he was about 500 miles (804km) short of his destination until just before landing. The booking was made by someone within the Education, Sport and Culture department and a spokesman said it was "human error". The last time the event was hosted in the UK was in Brighton in 2013. Mr Pallett, assistant minister of both the Economic Development and Planning and Environment departments, said: "It is really disappointing, I have to apologise for wasting taxpayers money and for letting down the dance world cup. "I don't know the exact cost as I've still got some figures to come back, but it won't be less than £1,000 and the department should have been more careful when it was booked. "All I can do is apologise for what is a schoolboy error, the last thing I needed was a day trip to Budapest after a long week supporting the Island Games." He was supposed to make a speech and accept the flag on behalf of nearly 3,000 competitors from 32 countries, including England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Mr Pallett said he did not realise he was going to the wrong place as he trusted the right booking had been made for him. He had been heavily involved in the Island Games, a multi-sport competition similar to the Olympics, that was being held in Jersey the week before. A container of Iridium-192 used for industrial radiography was taken from a truck in the town of Cardenas in Tabasco state. The states of Campeche, Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz are also on alert. Mexico's civil protection agency says that the material can cause death within hours or days if mishandled. "This source is very dangerous to people if it is removed from its container," the agency warned in a statement. The unprotected material can cause burns and permanent injuries to those who have been in contact with it for just minutes or hours. Luis Felipe Puente, head of Mexico's civil protection agency, urged whoever finds the source to keep it at a distance and call for help. The robbery was reported by the company Garantia Radiografica e Ingenieria which said that the material had been stolen on Monday. This is not the first time radioactive materials have gone missing in Mexico. In 2013, a truck carrying a highly radioactive source used for cancer treatments was stolen by thieves on its way to a waste storage facility. Six people were arrested and taken to hospital with signs of radiation exposure but were later given the all clear by doctors. They said they had not realised that radioactive material had been inside the truck. At least two similar incidents happened last year. In both cases, the thieves said they had been targeting the vehicles rather than their contents. The union says the "comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations" is related to problems with the "ageing" fleet of Piccadilly line trains. Transport for London (TfL) urged the RMT not to "subject Londoners to another pointless strike". No strike date has yet been announced. The Piccadilly line, the fourth busiest on the Underground, has been the focus of a long-running industrial dispute over safety. In January, a door opened on a moving train as it approached Heathrow, prompting an inspection of the whole fleet. TfL said it was an "isolated incident", but the RMT denies this. "There are major problems with the rolling stock that are not being addressed," a spokesman for the union told the BBC. "Despite the fact that we've got members in the depot working to try to keep the fleet going, we've got problems with doors opening between stations, wheel flats [that affect braking] and signals being passed at danger." RMT general secretary Mick Cash added: "Those issues have left drivers in a vulnerable position and have been used by management as a tool to harass and threaten members through misuse of the disciplinary procedure." Pat Hansberry, Operations Director for London Underground, said: "It is disappointing that the RMT is once again threatening unnecessary strike action without seeking to resolve these local issues with us first. "We urge the RMT to continue talks with us to resolve their issues rather than threatening to subject Londoners to another pointless strike." Piccadilly line trains are known as "1973 stock", although they came into service later that decade. They are now among the oldest trains on the London Underground. Lt Yassin Hatem Salahedeen was found guilty of the manslaughter of Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, who was hit in the back with birdshot at a peaceful protest on the anniversary of the 2011 revolution. Her death was caught on camera and caused a worldwide outcry. The interior ministry initially denied police involvement in her death. But in the face of mounting pressure, President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi referred to Sabbagh as "my own daughter" and promised that those responsible would be held accountable. Sabbagh, 32, was the mother of a five-year-old boy, a published poet, and a member of the Socialist Popular Alliance Party. On 24 January, she was walking with friends to Cairo's Tahrir Square to lay a wreath in memory of the 2011 revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak when masked police fired on the group with tear gas and birdshot. Footage showed her collapsing to the ground and being cradled by a friend. Seventeen people who were at the protest with her were arrested and charged with taking part in an illegal demonstration, but they were acquitted last month. Egypt's policing of protests has been a recurring source of criticism, with 1,150 protesters alone killed in a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood in July and August 2013 after the military overthrew President Mohammed Morsi, activists say. Umar Balogun, 16, from Waltham Forest, London, died at Bawsey Pits, near King's Lynn, Norfolk, in July 2013. Umar, who was in care at Castle Homes centre, Cambridgeshire, was at the lake with another boy and two care workers. The staff members had not seen a document which said Umar was a "high risk" for swimming, Norfolk Coroner's Court heard. Despite a sign saying "No swimming", the boys entered the water and started splashing about before Umar suddenly disappeared under the surface, the coroner's court was told. A diver later recovered his body on the bottom of the lake. The coroner's court heard from the two care workers - Vanda Cawley and Kevin Roweth - who took Umar and another boy to Bawsey on 16 July. Ms Cawley had been brought in for the day from another home. Mr Roweth, who had started the job a couple of weeks previously, is currently under investigation by the Health and Safety Executive. Both staff members said they were not familiar with the boys' risk assessment forms. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death after a four-day inquest. Beth Battista said that she had no hesitation in offering her kidney after hearing of Lyla's protracted search to find a suitable donor. "I knew I just had to get tested rather than watch her suffer," she said. Both Beth and Lyla are now recovering after the successful transplant operation last Wednesday. The teacher and mother-of-two said that she heard about Lyla's condition after her mother Dena Carreyn shared a Facebook post about the girl's desperate need for a living kidney donor. Lyla was diagnosed a year ago with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), a rare autoimmune disorder which requires 12 hours of dialysis a day. Beth contacted the the UW Health Transplant Program in Wisconsin and, after two tests in July and August, was deemed to be a suitable donor for Lyla. It was a rare match because she needed to be the right blood group with few antibodies picked up from previous bouts of sickness. She also needed to have matching antigens. In September she discovered that the child was to be a pupil in her class at the Kids' Express Learning Centre in Madison. The woman donating organs to strangers Woman with 100-year-old kidney from mum 'still going strong' The operation itself required surgeons to make four small incisions in her stomach in order to pull the kidney out, before taking it to Lyla, who was in a nearby hospital ward. "It was the same level of a pain as having a caesarean," the teacher told the BBC, "but I'm pleased to say that as soon as the kidney was put inside Lyla it began working immediately." "I was discharged from hospital 48 hours after the surgery and am feeling OK although really tired. "But I am told this common among donors because their remaining kidney needs to grow to make up for the missing organ. "I'm really proud to have saved her life." Her actions have won widespread plaudits on social media. "You are an inspiration for all of us to go out there and be a donor," one commentator on Facebook said. Investigators exhumed the remains of 31 men and one woman from a hillside in Zitlala, where turf wars between rival criminal gangs are common. "The discoveries are terrible" a security spokesperson said, while the search for any additional hidden graves continued in the region. No arrests have been made so far. The remains were found in 17 different pits near the village of Pochahuixco between Tuesday and Thursday. State security spokesman Roberto Alvarez told the AFP news agency the graves had been discovered following an anonymous tip, which led to the discovery of a kidnap victim. AFP also reported that four heads were found "inside a cooler". The town lies in the state of Guerrero, which has a very high rate of violent crime, and is also a significant opium producer. It reported more than 1,800 homicides between January and October this year. Residents in another town, Tixtla, discovered nine decapitated bodies earlier in the week. Investigators are checking if the remains match the heads discovered in Pochahuixco. The remains have been sent to the state capital to be identified.

The ceasefire will begin at midday (0900 GMT), the Saudi government announced via state media. The coalition said the truce could be renewed if the Houthis observed it and allowed aid to be delivered to rebel-held areas in the southwest. More than 10,000 people have died in 20 months of civil war in the country. There has been no word yet from the Houthis and several previous ceasefires have broken down. US Secretary of State John Kerry said earlier this week that the coalition and Houthis had agreed on a ceasefire to begin on Thursday. But the internationally recognised Yemeni government, led by exiled president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, rejected the move, complaining that it had been being bypassed. The truce announced by Mr Kerry held in some parts of the country but not others. More than 20 civilians were killed on Friday in the shelling of a busy market in the war-torn city of Taiz. International medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said one of its staff was also killed, calling it "another heartbreaking example of a hard-working citizen affected by this ongoing conflict". Taiz has been one of the worst-affected cities in Yemen's conflict, witnessing some of the heaviest and most sustained fighting in the country. The UN estimates that more than three million people have been displaced from the conflict and 21 million are in need of some form of humanitarian assistance. Two million people are malnourished nationwide, including 370,000 children who are severely malnourished. The conflict has also ravaged Yemen's health system. More than half of the health facilities the country are closed or partially functioning, a survey by the World Health Organisation found earlier this month. Gatiss, who won an Olivier Award for his role in Three Days in the Country earlier this year, also said audiences could be put off if they pay a lot to see a show and then do not like it. "You can't really take a risk [at that price]," he told The Stage. But he praised theatres running schemes offering cheaper tickets. They include the National Theatre's £15 tickets and the Donmar Warehouse initiative giving free tickets to under-25s. Gatiss, who also acts in Sherlock, joins fellow actors Mark Rylance and Juliet Stevenson, who have also complained recently about the price of West End tickets. The average price for a theatre ticket in London last year was £42.99, according to the Society of London Theatre. Gatiss told The Stage: "I went to see a show the other day, I won't name it. And it cost about a quarter of million pounds to see it, and it wasn't very good. You can't really take a risk [at that price]." The former League of Gentlemen performer added: "If you pay for a night out in the West End and it's about £95, and you don't have a good time, you feel it. That will probably put you off going." Speaking at a launch event for his new play The Boys in the Band, which opens at the Park Theatre in London later this month, he also said his relatives go to the theatre "once in a blue moon", adding of such an attitude: "You need to fight that." A Society of London Theatre spokesman responded by saying: "The theatre industry is committed to ensuring tickets are available at every price point. "The industry's support of initiatives like Mousetrap Theatre Projects, Kids Week, Get Into London Theatre and many other schemes help make theatre accessible to all."

The Burnley player, 33, said it is a "disgrace" there are any empty seats at Premier League grounds. The cheapest match-day ticket in the top flight now costs more than £30 on average for the first time, the BBC's annual Price of Football study found. "People are being priced out," Barton added. The Premier League said on Thursday clubs "are doing a good job" keeping grounds as full as possible, with the past two seasons showing record occupancy at 96%. But Barton said there is still much work to be done and described local fans as the "lifeblood of clubs". "It's a disgrace that we have empty seats in any stadium in the top flight - this can only be because of a price issue," added Barton, who was released by QPR this summer after their relegation to the Championship. Media playback is not supported on this device "As players we sometimes have to buy tickets for friends and relatives for away matches - we notice the prices. "Clubs need to remember why they are in existence in the first place. It's because of the local people. "I think the big clubs abuse their positions - they are trying to maximise their profits while they can. "There should be a subsidy for local based fans to go to games." Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger defended the cost of tickets at Emirates Stadium, insisting the board is keen to make them "more affordable" to fans. The BBC Price of Football study found that the Gunners sold the most expensive Premier League match-day tickets at £97. "It is my job to do that," said Wenger when asked if Arsenal offered value for money with their prices. "We have made a conscious effort in our board meetings to block the increase of our tickets and in seven of the past 10 years we have not increased our prices. "Is football more expensive? Yes, but Saturday or Sunday if you want to go to rugby you will see the tickets are expensive there as well. "It is maybe part of professionalism and a modern society." Media playback is not supported on this device Parenting web site Mumsnet has accused clubs of exploiting young fans after the BBC study revealed a full Manchester United junior strip, with name and number printed on the back, cost more than £100. "Every season football clubs seem to be pushing the prices of junior kits upwards," said Mumsnet co-founder and chief executive Justine Roberts. "Parents love seeing their kids enjoying football, but the price of their children's fandom is too steep for many parents. "Mumsnet users have said overwhelmingly that they think football merchandise is a rip-off. "It's a shame that clubs who generate vast revenues choose to exploit their very youngest supporters in this way." You can download the full results for 2015 here (pdf 536 KB). Ms McGowan has slightly revised her forecasts upwards as the wider economic environment continues to improve. She said that low inflation should "provide a boost to local demand" and that business surveys suggest corporate confidence remains strong. However, she cautioned that the strong pound is likely to hit manufacturing exports and the tourist trade. Ms McGowan singled out agriculture as facing "significant turbulence" from the strong pound and falling global commodity prices. Manufacturing is predicted to grow by 3.4%. However, the economist said that sector is not expected to deliver new jobs in the year ahead. Rather, growth will be most probably be achieved by "moving up the value-added chain" and investing in technology rather than staff. She said the highest growth sectors are likely to be in professional and scientific services and IT. Chris Coleman's team has exceeded most supporters' expectations at Euro 2016 and they now face Belgium in Lille on Friday. But what is the cost for a fan following the team's extended stay in France? BBC Wales spoke to one man who has spent £4,500 and driven 3,500 miles (5,700km) to do just that. "I wouldn't miss this for the world," said Kieran Jones, a 51-year-old Cardiff City and Wales fan. Mr Jones travelled to France on 8 June, before the tournament kicked off, after buying a caravan for the trip for £2,000. "I bought it to save a little bit on the hotel prices," the IT consultant, of Cardiff, said. He started his journey by driving to Paris, where he stayed for two nights before heading down to Toulouse, where he was based for Wales' 2-1 group B win against Slovakia in Bordeaux. Mr Jones then drove back up to northern France for the 2-1 defeat to England in Lens, down again for the 3-0 win against Russia in Toulouse, back up north again for the 1-0 win over Northern Ireland in Paris, and is now staying in Roubaix, near Lille, for the quarter final. He has spent £450 on campsites, £400 on his match tickets voucher and £375 on road tolls. "I've got to keep on the main roads because of the caravan, I can't go on the side lanes," he said. "I like driving but it has been hard work. It's been tiring." He added: "I've done 5,700km. If Wales win [against Belgium] it'll be a couple more miles to go on there." Mr Jones has also been helping the Football Supporters' Federation run the fan embassies in France, which involve early starts and long days. He had feared he would not make the tournament as he needed emergency surgery on a burst blood vessel five weeks before Euro 2016. "It's been hard," he said. "But I'm on a lot of medication. "I've had to check with the French authorities to see what medicine I could have over here, to see what medications are allowed here." But despite the difficulties his illness has posed, Mr Jones said he could not have stayed at home. "It could be once in a lifetime. It's the first time it's happened in our life time, it could be the last, we don't know," he added. And while a month away from work in the popular summer months might pose a problem for some Wales fans, Mr Jones said his employer, Sport Wales, had been very "understanding". For many the idea of an indefinite amount of time away from family could also be tough. But Mr Jones, a father of two, said he felt he "had to come" because his wife, Marina, who died three years ago, had also been a passionate supporter. "We were big Welsh fans. We'd been to a lot of away games. She would have been here," he said. For Friday's game against Belgium at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, about 20,000 Wales fans are expected in Lille alongside more than 100,000 Belgians. But Mr Jones, who also followed Wales during every qualifier besides Israel, believes Welsh supporters will not be lost in a sea of Belgian shirts. "We are going to be outnumbered but we'll out sing them," he said. The Wuhan Union hospital he founded is now, 160 years later, one of China's biggest - with more than 5,000 inpatient beds and treating 3.5 million patients annually. Born in 1831 to a copper-working family in Greenhill, Mr John lost both his parents when he was young, in separate cholera outbreaks. But he proved himself to be an outstanding scholar. Too poor to be educated in school, from the age of eight he studied alongside much older boys at Ebenezer Chapel, and by 14 he was preaching all over south Wales. Rev Graham John, the current minister of Ebenezer, said that by the time Mr John left for China it was already apparent what an "extraordinary man" he was becoming. "By the late 1840s Griffith was already something of a local celebrity as 'the boy preacher', earning praise for both the depth of his knowledge and the passion with which he preached," he said. "But what he achieved in China was outstanding. He was preaching in Chinese inside six months and translated the gospels into not one but several Chinese dialects." Mr John's arrival in China coincided with the outbreak of the second opium war. He was an outspoken critic of his own country's opium trade and his first ventures into healthcare were clinics to help wean people off the drug. Yet the settlement agreed at the end of the war opened up China's interior to the West for the first time, and allowed Mr John to spread his work even further. "Even after the Opium War, most British missionaries stayed around the more westernised seaports," Rev John said. "But Griffith John wanted to reach people deep in the baking interior, where he was often chased away with rocks by people who'd never seen a westerner before." Mr John soon won over the locals, and travelling more than 2,000 miles around what is now Wuhan, by the turn of the century he had established more than 12 schools and eight hospitals including, in 1866, Wuhan Union. It is a link with Wales which has stayed to this day, with Wuhan Union now three years into a collaboration with Swansea University's College of Medicine. Marking the 160th anniversary of Mr John's departure for China, a delegation from Wuhan visited Swansea. Professor Keith Lloyd, the college's head, said: "When our colleagues from Wuhan first came over in 2012 they presented us with a bust [of Griffith John], and an enormous statue of him stands outside the hospital in China." Mr John's work in China lasted 55 years. He returned home shortly before his death aged 80, in January 1912. He is buried at Bethel Chapel in Sketty, and is remembered in the names of flats and streets around Greenhill. There are now just two days until polling day, which takes place on Thursday. Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron will visit the Montgomeryshire constituency. Plaid Cymru will visit a GP surgery in Cardiff West, and Welsh Labour and UKIP will conduct local campaigning. Theresa May has already visited Wales twice while on the campaign trail. Her earlier visits to Bridgend and Wrexham were both in constituencies the Conservatives are hoping they can take from Labour. Mr Farron's party will again raise concerns about the effect of leaving the EU as the Lib Dem leader plans to visit a beef and sheep farm to discuss the potential impact on the industry. Plaid is planning to visit a doctor's surgery in Cardiff to highlight GP shortages - an issue where the responsibility lies with the Welsh Government. Sadie Hartley, 60, was stunned with a cattle prod and stabbed at her house on Sunny Bank Road in Helmshore, Rossendale, on 14 January. Sarah Williams, 35, and Katrina Walsh, 56, both from Chester, deny murdering the mother-of-two. A series of text messages were found on Ms Williams' phone after she was arrested. They showed secret exchanges with Ms Hartley's long-term partner, ex-fireman Ian Johnston, 57, with whom she was having an affair, Preston Crown Court heard. In one, she wrote: "I went to bed thinking about you." In another to a friend, she said: "Fireman is just totally awesome...I'm hook line and sinker." She added: "It's too early to have this conversation, being the little psycho that I am I want to push it along very quickly." Later texts showed Mr Johnston agonising over the affair. He wrote: "I was not looking for or expecting you to appear." In another, he said: "Sarah, please get that I can't have you here at this time. This is too difficult. Sorry." Mr Johnston told Ms Williams how Sadie has been "kind and caring" and he would not just "blow her out", before adding: "I do like you but this is way too heavy." Later Williams sent a "spiteful" letter to Ms Hartley revealing the affair but it failed to break up the couple, the court heard. It is alleged the defendants then went on to execute their plan. Jurors were told Walsh used Tarot Cards with Williams during the time they planned the "perfect murder". In voluminous diaries penned by Walsh she wrote of her co-accused: "She's got to learn that some men say they will leave their comfortable other half even when they never intend to do no such thing." The trial continues. Media playback is not supported on this device He has been widely criticised over the damage corruption allegations have caused football's governing body. But the 78-year-old Swiss said he was angered when a number of European football chiefs urged him to quit. "This was the most disrespectful thing I've ever experienced in my entire life," he told Fifa's congress. Ahead of the 2014 World Cup, which starts in Brazil on Thursday, Blatter said "his mission" was not finished as Fifa boss, indicating he would stand again for election in 2015. His cause was helped when Fifa decided not to impose an age limit nor maximum terms for officials. Fifa president Sepp Blatter used his closing address in Sao Paulo to call for managers to be allowed to challenge up to two refereeing decisions during a game. The idea, if implemented, would mean a manager could ask for an immediate television review if he disagreed with a decision. The move would require ratification by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the guardians of the laws of the game. Meanwhile, one of Fifa's major sponsors has maintained the pressure on Fifa and called on the governing body to take "aggressive action" over the corruption allegations. Earlier this week, Visa was one of five major corporate partners of Fifa to issue a statement in response to allegations. Speaking to BBC Sport in Sao Paulo, the company's executive vice president and chief brand officer, Antonio Lucio, did not rule out Visa ending its relationship with Fifa over the issue. He added: "We are looking forward to the results of the investigation and we will expect Fifa to take aggressive action on that because, at the end of the day, we want it to be maintained as a beautiful game." Blatter also caught world football's ruling body by surprise on Wednesday by proposing a new television review system that would go well beyond the goal-line technology already being used in some countries. He suggested that a manager or coach could be allowed to challenge up to two refereeing decisions in a game. "If a manager disagrees with a decision, he could ask for an immediate television review with the referee," said Blatter. "It's something new." Any such plan would need to be approved by the International Football Association Board. More pressing for Blatter, though, is the continuing controversy over Qatar's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup. On Tuesday, he faced calls from Football Association chairman Greg Dyke and a number of senior European members to step down next year, as he had indicated he would do in 2011. However, Blatter was greeted with applause as he gave his closing remarks at Fifa's annual congress on Wednesday. "I know that my mandate will finish next year on 29 May in Zurich, but my mission is not finished," he said. "We will build the new Fifa together. We have the foundations today because we have the budget for the next four years. "Congress, you will decide who takes this great institution forward, but I can tell you I am ready to accompany you in the future." At the annual congress, Fifa investigator Michael Garcia said he had already reviewed the majority of the files obtained by the Sunday Times as part of his long-running examination of the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid. The New York lawyer announced last week that he would not extend the investigation beyond 9 June after the British newspaper published a series of articles based on a huge leak of secret emails and documents. That prompted fears he was ignoring evidence that The Sunday Times claimed was proof that former Qatari football chief Mohamed Bin Hammam helped secure the 2022 World Cup for the Gulf state through secret deals and favours. But Garcia told Fifa's congress on Wednesday: "No-one should assume what information we have or do not have. "The vast majority of that material has been available for us for some time, long before the recent wave of media reports. "We have gone to what appears to us to be the original source of that data and we are confident that we will have full access to whatever else may be in that data set and we will review that data for anything else relevant prior to issuing any final report." Garcia also revealed that, over the last six months, he has spoken to representatives of every bid team involved in the joint bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. He said he and his team have "spoken to or attempted to speak to" every member of the Fifa executive committee who voted in the election in December 2010, whether they remain active football officials or not. This would appear to suggest that Garcia has attempted to interview Bin Hammam, even though the former Fifa vice-president was banned from football for life for his part in another bribery scandal in 2011. Garcia, a former US district attorney, is expected to hand over his report to Fifa's adjudicatory chamber in the next six weeks. Blatter said last week that he expected a summary of Garcia's findings to be made public in the autumn. Northwich, built in 1898, is an unpowered narrow boat which would have been towed or pulled by a horse. Steve Bagley, of the Canal and River Trust, said: "Caring for these vessels is not easy, their sheer size presents challenges." Three other boats lifted from the docks are being put into storage. Restoration work for the Northwich is being funded with a £314,000 grant from Arts Council England. Once the work is complete it will go on display at the National Waterways Museum in Gloucester Docks. Northwich was built in Birmingham with an iron riveted side and elm bottom, which enabled it to carry up to 25 tonnes in cargo. It was made for Nottingham-based transport company Fellows Morton and Clayton and worked on canals between London and Birmingham. In later years it worked on the Trent and Mersey Canal, carrying chocolate for Cadbury's or aluminium for Rover in Wolverhampton, before it was used as a floating museum in Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire. It was bought by the National Waterways Museum in 1988. The 26-year-old scored late on in the 3-1 win over Burton to put the Canaries on top of the Championship table. "I'm very happy that my first goal happened at this stadium amongst this fantastic crowd "When I go forward and try to attack, I normally look to make an assist. This time I went on the run and shot for goal," Pinto told BBC Radio Norfolk. "In this league, you don't know what could happen, it's hard. But when you score the third one, it's the end of the game and I think that's very good for us." Although Norwich came away with three points, they had to battle against a stubborn Burton side. "We didn't have the best day, but in the end we did enough to take the three points," Pinto said. "If we're not having a good day, we still have players in the squad that can make a difference." Norwich are next in action on Wednesday when they travel to Newcastle United - both teams having been relegated from the Premier League last season. "When you keep winning games, you're just waiting for the next one to come," he added. "It'll be a big game for us against Newcastle, but if we have a better day and keep doing our jobs, I think we can win the game." The dolls have different skin tones and hairstyles, including a man bun, and corn rows. The move comes after Mattel expanded its Barbie range at the beginning of 2016. Barbie sales slumped 13% in the first quarter, the second consecutive quarter of falling sales for the doll brand. "By continuing to expand our product line, we are redefining what a Barbie or Ken doll looks like to this generation," said Barbie general manager Lisa McKnight. "Evolving Ken was a natural evolution for the brand and allows girls to further personalise the role they want him to play in Barbie's world." Mattel, which is one of the world's biggest toy companies, said the Barbie brand "has always reflected the times, so modernising Ken is the next step in the brand's evolution to offer more diverse products". Barbie sales increased for the first nine months of 2016, aided by new marketing efforts and the launch of the dolls. The new Ken dolls will be sold through various UK national retailers. Mattel launched Ken, full name Ken Carson, as Barbie's boyfriend in 1961. According to the fictional back story of Ken and Barbie, they met on the set of their first television commercial in 1961. He has always stood half an inch taller than her. The two original versions had him with moulded plastic hair in either blond or brown, and wearing red swimming trunks and cork sandals. Ken has been marketed as having some 40 occupations and modelling a range of the decades' fashions, including 1993's Magic Earring Ken. As part of Mattel marketing efforts, Ken and Barbie "broke up" with each other on Valentine's Day in 2004, and then got back together on Valentine's Day 2011. The two have never officially been married, a Mattel spokeswoman said, although they have been sold in "dream wedding" sets. The marketing hasn't been overly romantic as it is aimed at children, she said. The spokeswoman declined to say how much Mattel had spent on market research and manufacturing to launch the new Ken dolls. Clark batted aggressively with captain Paul Collingwood (71 not out) in a partnership of 185, Durham's best in the Championship this summer. They were separated when Marchant de Lange (3-65) had Clark caught behind after hitting a six and 17 fours. Earlier Glamorgan were dismissed for 295 with Barry McCarthy (3-55) taking the last three wickets. But Clark and in-form Collingwood changed the momentum of the match in the evening session with Clark reaching his maiden century off 129 balls, shortly before giving debutant keeper Tom Cullen a third catch. It was a record fourth-wicket stand for Durham against Glamorgan, and 41 year-old Collingwood now has 290 runs for once out in three knocks against the Welsh county. Durham batsman Graham Clark told BBC Newcastle: "It's been going all right over the last few weeks but it was nice to get over the line and finally get the hundred, it's been a long time coming but thankfully now I've got one. "It felt like the weight of the world dropped off my shoulders, I was quite nervous through the 90s and it's a moment I've wanted since I was five or six years old, it's a hugely proud moment and I was delighted to get to three figures. "We wanted to bat as long as we could and make that deficit as small as we could at the close of play. (Paul Collingwood's) experience shows with the non-striking batsman, everyone learns from him and he's a great man to tap into." Glamorgan bowler Marchant de Lange told BBC Wales Sport: "We had the mindset of scoring a few more runs, 320 to 350, but it didn't happen and then with the bowling, we took three quick wickets and then they had a good partnership. "I don't think we stuck to our guns, meaning what we're capable of with line and length, we lost it a bit but hopefully we can turn it around on a new day." To varying degrees, politicians are tailoring their policies according to circumstances in each of the 22 council areas. But what, in a nutshell, are their general pitches to voters? The Conservatives say they want to ensure "fairer" council tax bills and value for money for the public while safeguarding services for people in need. Protecting local high streets and supporting small businesses are also amongst the Tories' top priorities, together with a pledge to "honour armed forces heroes". Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies has promised that the party will listen, deliver, and "make sure that we're held to account when we get into county halls across the length and breadth of Wales". The Green Party is promising to "rebuild" communities, saying renewable energy schemes and "truly efficient" housing could create thousands of jobs and cut fuel bills. Grenville Ham, leader of the Wales Greens, says the sale of locally-generated renewable energy could "cut out the exploitative middle man in energy production and delivery". The party says it is focusing on "returning as many hardworking Labour councillors and councils as possible" and "sustaining our Welsh Labour councils' record of delivery". First Minister Carwyn Jones has said councils run by the party have "built new council homes... helped to deliver the best GCSE and A Level results ever, supported small business and led ambitious regeneration programmes". Labour says that, with support from Mr Jones and his Welsh Government, the party can continue to "deliver a fair deal for the people of Wales". Enabling small businesses to "lead their own priorities" and measures to encourage more people into town centres are central to Lib Dem plans to regenerate local economies. Investing in schools, social care, building more affordable homes and tackling homelessness are also top pledges by the party. Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams described his party as an alternative to "complacency, arrogance and laziness rife in our local councils". "Spreading prosperity throughout the country", cutting senior council staff pay and "boosting ordinary workers' wages" are high on Plaid Cymru's to-do list. The party also promises to create local jobs and apprenticeships, regenerate town centres, seek high quality education for every child and supply more affordable housing. Plaid leader Leanne Wood has said she expects to make "significant advances" on 4 May. UKIP says council tax should be as low as possible "whilst protecting essential services" and argues "immigration must be controlled to relieve pressure of health, education, housing, police and welfare services". The party also says it opposes "excessive housing development and wind farms" and wants to cut "highly paid executives, not front-line staff and services". UKIP AM David Rowlands says it wants to "break down this cadre of Labour-controlled councils". A financial redress scheme was set up after a 2009 inquiry into the physical, emotional and sexual abuse of children in Catholic-run schools and homes. The cost of the inquiry and redress is estimated at 1.5bn euros (£1.3bn). Catholic orders agreed to pay almost one quarter of the bill, but an audit report said they have paid only 13%. Two orders who promised to pay the most - the Sisters of Mercy and Christian Brothers - have fallen short by tens of millions of euros, according to the report. But the brothers said the figures were out of date while the nuns said the audit did not take account of the fall in the value of properties they sold to meet the bill. The report was published by the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Republic of Ireland's public expenditure watchdog. Its findings have led to one victims' group to call on the government to raise the outstanding bill with the Pope. Six of the orders involved in the 2009 redress scheme deal have paid their agreed contribution in full. The Sisters of Mercy had promised to contribute 127.5m euros (£112m), but the audit found that by the end of 2015, they had only handed over 25m euros (£22m) to the Irish state. The report said the Christian Brothers, who had offered to pay 34m euros (£30m), had contributed just 10m (£8.7m) within the same timeframe. However, the Sisters of Mercy said they have honoured all of their commitments while the Christian Brothers said the figures in the audit report predate some of its more recent and "significant" payments. Brother Edmund Garvey said they were "on course to honour in full the voluntary pledges" and that the final amount would be handed over after planned property sales. He added that school playing fields worth well over 100m euros (£87m) are to be transferred from the order to the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, for the "benefit of its 37,000 students and ultimately the state of which they are part". But Minister for Education Richard Bruton said this move was not acceptable to the government, and that the lands should be transferred to the state or sold under a joint agreement. Mr Bruton said the government had actually wanted the costs of the redress scheme to be shared on a 50-50 between the state and the Catholic Church, but admitted the amounts pledged to date were a "far cry" from that. The minister added he would continue to exert "moral pressure" on the religious orders to meet their 2009 payment agreements. In a statement, the Sisters of Mercy said they had honoured all their commitments, which were based on the value of their properties at the time. They said that 81m euros (£71m) of their total 127.5m commitment was to be paid to the state in the form of property, but that the economic downturn had reduced the government's financial gain from the sales. The nuns said that they had "always made clear that the value of (their) contribution was subject to the fluctuations in value attaching to individual properties". In a statement, the campaign group Irish Survivors of Child Abuse said: "Enda Kenny should travel to Rome as soon as practical and demand a comprehensive and honourable settlement of all matters connected with the child abuse scandals which implicate the servants of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland." The Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse, commonly known as the Ryan Report, was a nine-year inquiry which concluded in 2009. It found that Catholic Church leaders knew that sexual abuse was "endemic" in boys' institutions. It also found physical and emotional abuse and neglect of children were features of Catholic-run institutions. The ease with which the gunman boarded a packed international train with an arsenal of weapons in his backpack is prompting re-examination of what many experts see as a weak link in the fight against terrorism. Apart from the cross-Channel Eurostars and the Spanish high-speed network, there are no systematic identity or baggage controls anywhere on the European railway system. With the Schengen border-free arrangements in place in 26 countries, it means criminals or terrorists can use trains to move around the continent more or less undetected. They can also transport drugs or arms. And if they choose to use those arms, as on Friday, then hundreds of people are potential victims. New counter-terror approach needed - by Claude Moniquet Allegations of drugs and jihad - profile of suspect Ayoub El-Khazzani What we know Of the several avenues being looked into for tightening security, the least feasible is the most obvious: turning railway stations into airports. Requiring rail passengers to present identity papers, and to submit to a body and bag search, would lower the terrorist risk to practically nil. But the costs of implementing such a policy make it utterly impractical. "There are 20 times more train passengers in France than there are air passengers. So whatever security there is now at airports, you would have to multiply it by 20 in stations. It is not a realistic proposition," says Guillaume Pepy, president of France's state rail company SNCF. Five million people use the trains every day in France, at some 3,000 stations - 230 of them linked to the TGV high-speed network. For most of these passengers, the train is an essential part of their working life, with the huge advantage over planes that you can board them up to the moment before departure. Requiring people to arrive half an hour early in order to get through security would strip rail travel of one of its essential assets. "There is also the financial cost," says Marc Ivaldi, transport economist at Toulouse School of Economics. "Not just all the equipment. But reconstructing railway stations to create adequate spaces. Most railway stations are old buildings, and totally unsuited for modern security." However, Mr Ivaldi says that Eurostar-style checks on international trains like the Thalys - and on parts of France's own TGV network - may now be inevitable. "It will be purely symbolic, because wherever there are checks the terrorist can go elsewhere. But not doing it may prove untenable." If universal Eurostar-style controls are impossible, what other options are there? One possibility under serious consideration is random checks. But this is where political sensitivities have kicked in. Speaking on French radio on Monday, the Socialist Transport Minister Alain Vidalies brought down the wrath of the left when he said the risk of racial discrimination that might follow "random" checks was something he could live with. "Every time we talk about random checks, there is always someone who retorts, 'Yes, but you know it could be discriminatory.' Well you know something: I would rather discriminate and be effective, than just sit back and let it all happen." the minister said. The worry of opponents of random checks is that they would not be random at all. Police would inevitably gravitate towards young males of North African looks, especially ones with beards and wearing a djellaba (full-length hooded robe). Writing in left-wing daily Liberation, journalist Rachid Laireche said Mr Vidalies' words "sent a shiver down my spine". "By legitimising discriminatory controls... you will not only be ineffective, you will also reinforce the stigmatisation of a whole section of society." That in turn prompted a storm of indignation from the right, which said the transport minister was talking plain good sense, and that the real scandal was how the suspect, Ayoub el-Khazzani, was able to travel freely around Europe despite having been identified as a potential danger. In general, though, it seems likely that some sort of random baggage check will be authorised by the government later this week - with a strong insistence that it be applied with a close eye to the passenger's appearance. Other ideas under consideration are an increase in training for the SNCF's 150,000 staff, so they are better equipped to respond to terrorist emergencies; clearer and more prominent warnings about terrorism on trains and in stations; and the deployment of more police and soldiers. However, police unions have warned that the service is now at its limits. "After the January attacks we have been operating at 100% capacity, reinforced by 10,000 soldiers. There is no more reserve," says Nicolas Comte of SGP Police FO. With the limitations of traditional security improvements all too evident, some are calling for a changed mentality in society as a whole to cope with the now permanent threat. "I do not doubt the vigilance of the security forces, but what we need now is for the whole nation to be in a state of vigilance," said former centre-right interior minister Claude Gueant. He cited the example of the state of Israel, which "has lived for years under the constant threat of attacks… and yet people live ordinary lives, because they take elementary precautions". Urging an Israeli-style security mindset will not endear Mr Gueant to many people in France. But it is a sign of the times that he has not been immediately denounced for making the comparison. It goes without saying that it was a fantastic night for Welsh Conservatives and a grim one for Welsh Labour, but there is a fascinating scramble going on for third place in Welsh politics. Relative newcomer UKIP is now hailing itself as the third party in Wales, after bumping Plaid Cymru down to fourth place in share of the vote. Shortly before quitting as UKIP leader, Nigel Farage looked forward to next year's Welsh assembly election, where an element of proportional representation comes into play, and the prospect of the first UKIP AMs in Cardiff Bay. It might not have Welsh MPs, but the party is already turning its mind to efforts to push deeper into traditional Labour territory in south Wales. And what of Plaid Cymru? It will, of course, point to its three MPs compared to the duck scored by UKIP in Wales. At the last general election Plaid blamed its failure to win more seats on its exclusion from the television debates. There is no such excuse this time, indeed Leanne Wood was widely praised for her performance against the likes of Cameron and Miliband on the UK stage. Given Plaid's level of exposure at the time of an SNP nationalist surge in Scotland, whatever Plaid Cymru might say publicly about its performance, there can be little doubt wise heads in the party will be asking some serious questions about where it goes from here. And then there are the Liberal Democrats, now with just one Welsh MP, in Ceredigion. Never mind third place, political survival must surely be the immediate priority for the Lib Dems? Were they punished for going into government with Conservatives, implementing tough public spending cuts, breaking a key 2010 election pledge on student tuition fees - or all of the above? Politics is often brutal, and parties that fail to diagnose and address their shortcomings quickly can expect more punishment. The assembly election next year could be very interesting. John Lawton, from Alsager, went missing in an off-road race on 8 April. The official search has been called off. Organisers say it will cost around £4,000 for 12 people from Cheshire Search and Rescue to fly out to help in the search for the 62-year-old. Team leader Jo McClure said Mr Lawton's family contacted them last week and it will be their first overseas trip. Mr Lawton's wife Lynda raised the alarm when he failed to pass the finish line of the Taygetos Challenge 2012, near Kalamata, in western Greece. She said he was last seen at the fourth check point. The official search was called off last month and members of Mr Lawton's family and running club, Sandbach Striders, have been out to Greece to help. His son Steve has told the BBC it is getting harder to believe he will be found. A text message campaign has been launched by the search and rescue team and Mrs McClure said around £700 had been raised so far. Mrs McClure said: "The family got in touch last week and are willing to fund our accommodation and food so it's just a matter of paying for flights. "We've never done any overseas work before so we've had to look in to the legal implications and clear it with the Home Office. "We're packed and ready to go and hope to be able to leave on Friday when there are flights from Manchester airport." She said many of the volunteers would have to take time out of their day jobs for the trip. Mrs McClure said: "We've had maps sent over from Greece and I know there are a few tracks and trails he could have got lost on. "We've been fairly selective in choosing the volunteers that we're sending, many of whom have mountain climbing experience - I just hope we can find him." A survey found rooms yield in the Granite City last November fell year-on-year by 42.3% to £46.63 on average, while occupancy was down 11.9%. It was the second successive monthly drop of more than 40% in revenue. BDO said there was little sign of improvement on the horizon for Aberdeen hoteliers. Across Scotland as a whole, hotel revenue fell by 9.5% and occupancy was down. Inverness saw rooms yield rise by 5.1% while occupancy fell 1.6%. Edinburgh's revenue was up 0.1% but occupancy was down 1.4%. Glasgow saw slight falls in both revenue and occupancy. Alastair Rae, from BDO, said: "It is clear that Aberdeen hoteliers continue to be battered by the weak oil price and the consequent difficulties this is producing in the wider north east economy. "Unfortunately there is little sign that will abate and the strain which the hospitality sector is currently experiencing is going to continue until something positive occurs in the oil and gas sector which appears unlikely in the coming months. "The large falls in both revenue and occupancy in Aberdeen are also reducing the Scotland-wide figures for both as the other cities had a more positive month." He added: "There are signs that the hotel sector is experiencing a stable, if unexceptional, year. Occupancy is relatively fixed and revenues are fluctuating slightly but not in a remarkable way. "I believe that there will be more of the 'steady as she goes' outlook in the hotel market with the obvious exception being Aberdeen." Although Fort opened early in an uninspiring first 45 minutes, they had to come from behind twice in a final which then steadily built towards a stirring climax. Newtonmore reduced their deficit on Kyles in the Marine Harvest Premiership to four points with a 3-1 victory at The Eilan, while Kingussie compounded Lochaber's relegation worries with a 5-2 victory on a day when heavy rain took its toll on several games. In the battle for the Balliemore Cup, shinty's intermediate championship, Jack Fraser gave Fort an early lead with a fine 30-yard shot from the left. Cabers captain Craig Morrison responded by picking up a ball from the right wing and finding the net with it, only for the goal to be disallowed because the ball had earlier crossed the by-line. Kevin Bartlett was next to attempt an equaliser but his shot was scrambled away by the Fort defence. That equaliser did, however, come five minutes into a much more action packed second half when Morrison was given space 20 yards out. Morrison then put Cabers into a short-lived lead which was cancelled out when Fraser dashed in to claim his own second with a slick shot. With 15 minutes remaining, Bartlett exploited Fort's defensive confusion to find the net, but the whistle had already gone for a penalty to Cabers which the Scotland international instead used to put his side ahead. However, Fort William weren't prepared to accept that as a match-winner and Lewis Clark scrambled home the goal which put the final into extra-time. With the soporific first half now a distant memory, the game moved up yet another gear with Fort dealing better with the fatigue. Calum Shepherd put them ahead in the first period, only for Morrison to send the game to penalties when he completed his hat-trick with only five minutes left of the second. In an unusually high scoring shoot-out for shinty, a single poorly hit penalty was in the end all that stood between the teams as Fort pulled off their first Balliemore triumph, 25 years after the club lifted the Camanachd Cup for the first time in 1992. At The Eilan, Glen MacKintosh and Evan Menzies, who was later sent off, gave Newtonmore a 2-0 half time lead over Kyles. Sandy MacKenzie pulled one back before Connor Jones put the points in the bag for the champions. However, the ultimate destiny of the title still remains in Kyles' hands. A Lee Bain hat-trick laid the foundations of Kingussie's 5-2 victory over Lochaber whose Zands Ferguson and Stuart Callison brought it back to 3-2 before Ruaraidh Anderson and Ryan Borthwick put the game out of sight. Kingussie are just one point behind Kyles but have played three more games, while Lochaber remain well behind Kilmallie and Glasgow Mid Argyll on goal difference at the bottom, and with more matches played. Beauly moved into the top half of the National Division with a 3-1 home win over local rivals Strathglass. The watchdog plans to pilot double inspections this term, with inspectors comparing judgements to see if they have reached the same conclusions. If effective, the method could be included in a new inspection framework for "good schools" from September. Teaching unions said questions about reliability had always "dogged" Ofsted. A week ago, Sean Harford, Ofsted's national director for schools, admitted not enough had been done to ensure reliability. Responding to a critical blog from head teacher Tom Sherrington last week, Mr Harford admitted Ofsted does not currently ensure "directly that different inspectors in the school on the same day would give the same judgement". In the response, Mr Harford said some inspectors used data as a "safety net" instead of making a professional judgement. Ofsted's consultation on new short inspections for good schools closed late last year. This term, pilot inspections for the new framework will include investigating new methods of reliability testing, said Mr Harford. Ofsted now says this will involve two senior officials independently inspecting the school on the same day and comparing judgements. "There will be a small number of pilots this term to investigate whether two inspectors come up with the same conclusions," a spokeswoman told BBC News. The spokeswoman said there was no suggestion the method would be used for all the shorter inspections from September but could instead "be an occasional feature as part of the quality assurance process". Teachers' unions said they had been questioning the reliability of Ofsted's judgements for years. Kevin Courtney, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, called for "root and branch reform" of school accountability in England, including the abolition of Ofsted. "The suggestion that inspecting schools twice will resolve the flaws in the current system is nonsense. "In effect, this is merely punishing schools for Ofsted's failings." Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said questions about reliability had "dogged Ofsted since it was set up in 1992". "It is incomprehensible that Ofsted has waited 23 years to investigate whether or not its judgements are reliable when the consequences for schools are so devastating if they are judged to be poor. "We note that Ofsted, however, is not opening itself up to external evaluation of the reliability trials. "If Ofsted has robust quality assurance, why is it not opening itself up to external scrutiny?" Sean Harford said the quality of its inspection judgements was "of the utmost importance to Ofsted". "We go to great lengths, through our existing quality assurance process to ensure that inspectors make judgements which are rigorously based on the evidence gathered. "It is frustrating that our attempts to enter a genuine debate about how we might improve still further in our approach are being used to score cheap points about Ofsted's work." The Ofsted spokeswoman said quality assurance measures already in place included site visits by senior inspectors to test evidence, data analysis and the reading of all inspection reports to ensure the text matched the overall grade. Muslim communities have historically not relied upon hospices, with families instead caring for relatives at home, the report by the Woolf Institute says. But that is becoming harder, with more parents both now working, it added. It called for better planning so Muslim patients can access care in the future. The study warned that demographic changes within Muslim communities were likely to increase the demand for hospice and end-of-life care. Although still younger on average than the wider UK population, the number of Muslims aged 65 and over was increasing steadily, the report added. The number of elderly Muslim people was expected to reach 250,000 in the next 15 years, it said. But it said there were "glaring gaps" when it came to data around the number of Muslims using hospices in the UK. The report called for local councils, the NHS and hospices to ensure data was recorded about the religion and ethnicity of those using their services to help plan care in the future. It concluded that, unless action was taken now, Muslim communities would not be able to access vital services when they needed them most. Anne Peterson, 59, was found guilty of four counts of fraud while working at Lloyds Bank in Barry. She told Cardiff Crown Court that she was on holiday when the transactions took place and that somebody else had used her bank log in details. Judge Stephen Hopkins adjourned sentencing until 23 June. He told Peterson that she had been convicted on "compelling and overwhelming evidence" and that she "ought to be thoroughly ashamed" of herself. Peterson withdrew £12,000 from the account belonging to a 92-year-old woman, £4,000 of which was just a fortnight after her death. Her second victim was an 83-year-old man, who had £5,080 taken from his account. The court heard Peterson diverted their statements so they would not be able to find out what was going on. The abusive man turned on the two men and fatally stabbed them in the city of Portland, police said. The incident happened on a commuter train. Another passenger was wounded before the attacker was arrested. The Council on American-Islamic Relations urged President Trump to speak out against increasing Islamophobia in the US. It accused the president of exacerbating the trend with his statements and policies. The attack took place at about 16:30 local time (00:30 GMT) on a train at Hollywood Transit Station, police said in a statement. One of the victims died at the scene, the other died in hospital. Police have identified the suspect as Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35. He has been charged with offences including aggravated murder, attempted murder, intimidation and being a felon in possession of a restricted weapon. "Suspect was on the train and he was yelling and ranting and raving a lot of different things, including what would be characterised as hate speech or biased language," said Sgt Pete Simpson. "In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him, appeared to try to intervene with his behaviour. Some of the people that he was yelling at, they were attacked viciously by the suspect, resulting in the two deaths and one injury." Jeremy Joseph Christian was arrested shortly after he got off the train. The two women he was abusing - one of whom was said by eyewitnesses to have been wearing a headscarf - left the scene before police could speak to them. However one of the girls' parents later told the Oregonian newspaper that they were teenagers, one black and one Muslim. Dyjuana Hudson said the attacker "was saying that Muslims should die. That they've been killing Christians for years". The 21-year-old, who played in all of Bosnia-Hercegovina's matches at the World Cup, has agreed a five-year deal. He joined Everton's pre-season tour of Thailand last week prior to their friendly with Leicester. The ex-Stuttgart player is Everton's second summer signing after Gareth Barry moved from Manchester City following a successful loan spell. "Muhamed is a young footballer who has developed massively in the last two seasons," Everton boss Roberto Martinez told the club's official website. "He has been playing as a centre-half and as a defensive midfielder at an incredible level. "He showed in the World Cup that he is a really mature footballer, that he covers the ground really well, that he is very dynamic and technically very gifted. "He is bringing us really good strength in an important part of the side." 12 August 2016 Last updated at 08:36 BST The warning comes on World Elephant Day, 12 August. Tusk say more needs to be done to stop the poaching of the biggest land animals on Earth. Ayshah has been looking into the threat facing elephants around the world. The north Wales club have released nine players following a disappointing season which saw them finish 13th in the National League. "Recruitment is going to be key and massive throughout the summer," Keates told BBC Radio Wales. "With the ones that we've already got we're probably looking at adding at least another 13 or 14." Keates added: "It's getting the right people in the building with the right work ethic. "I've been making phone calls over the last number of weeks and it's going to be even more of a busy period now. "It's all hands to the pump to get the players in the building." Midfielder Paul Rutherford has agreed a deal he was offered in February with Mark Carrington having already signed a new contract. Keates has offered new deals to goalkeeper Chris Dunn and midfielder Russell Penn and said he was "fairly confident" they would sign. He also wants to extend the stay of defender James Jennings, who joined the club on loan from Cheltenham Town in January. "James is still contracted to Cheltenham," Keates said. "That's something I've chatted with James about and obviously what develops with that over the next few weeks regarding what happens with him at Cheltenham." Curtis Tilt, Hamza Bencherif and John Rooney will not be returning to the north Wales club having finished the season on loan at other clubs. Iffy Allen, Khaellem Bailey-Nichols, Anthony Barry, Rob Evans, Shwan Jalal, Izale McLeod, Callum Powell, Martin Riley, Jordan White have been released. "It needed to be done as soon as possible," said Keates, in his first managerial role after succeeding the sacked Gary Mills in October 2016. "I came to the decision it was best to do it face to face and be open and honest as I could with the players. "For me to take the club forward, difficult decisions needed to be made." Club captain Evans was among the players released and Keates admitted it had been a difficult decision to let go of the 21-year-old Wrexham-born midfielder "That was by far the hardest," Keates said, "I've known Robbie from playing here and watched him come through the youth team and establishing himself in the first team. "It was a difficult decision regarding Robbie." South Worcestershire Police said it was aware of social media messages circulating describing the "Da Pinchi Code" - a criminals' code of paint or chalk markings outside properties. West Mercia Police said signs indicated work planned by utility firms. There is no evidence to link these symbols to anything else, it said. More on 'Da Pinchi code' symbols and other Hereford & Worcester stories "We are aware of messages circulating again on social media purporting to be describing the 'criminals code' of paint or chalk markings left outside properties, identifying future potential targets for thieves and burglars," said a spokesman. "However, there is no actual evidence to link these symbols to anything other than completely innocent and easily explainable activities." The symbols are actually ground works markings used by gas, electricity, water, cable and telecoms contractors. Different paint or chalk colours have specific meanings, the spokesperson added, which indicated whether there were live power lines, flammable material, water, drains or a proposed excavation route. Prior to that he starred as Simon Templar in TV series The Saint, as well as opposite Tony Curtis in The Persuaders! These days the 86-year-old lives in Monaco, however he is returning to the UK for his An Evening With... tour, which sees him discuss his life and career, before taking questions from fans. He spoke to the BBC about his upcoming run of shows, bringing back The Saint, silly questions and why he would have been an IT expert if he wasn't an actor. The format depends entirely on what I can remember! I talk with Gareth Owen who is my assistant and biographer and we chat about various things that have happened. I was talking with Joan Collins [who has also had An Audience With... tour] the other day and she has a whole production with songs and videos. But I've never thought it was necessary to do that, so I just get up and tell lies! I'm warming them up for my new book that's going to come out next year! I haven't had full approval from all the publishers, but it's going to be called One Lucky Bastard. It occurred to me when I was halfway through the book - which was going to be called something like Moore on Bond, or Moore or Less - it suddenly struck me I have been exceedingly lucky, so I think that's what I have to call myself. Maybe for the BBC it can be called One Lucky Fellow! Nothing really fazes me. There are the more direct ones about sex and the leading ladies, which I go completely red and blush at - and if I can't answer I burst into tears. But I can certainly become awfully deaf and have a chat with Gareth about it [on stage] and say "what was that?". It's always which leading lady did you like the most? Or what's the best Bond film you've made? What's your favourite Bond gadget? Or Bond girl? You always have to look surprised - as if you've never been asked that question before. I won't give my phone number out! I suppose so, but there's been a lot that's been left unsaid and I have to work around it when I'm asked a question that borders on that. It becomes a game, actually, but the more controversial the better, as it's more fun. There's an old saying that actors don't retire until the phone stops ringing. It depends on what there is for an old gentlemen to do. I'm not about to run around and do acrobatics, so if I can find something witty to do, I'd love to do it. From the last email I've had, it has had the go-ahead. I will make the odd appearance - I play a sort of rather mysterious man who is on the end of a telephone or will suddenly arrive where The Saint is and give him his opinion. Oh no, I'll be there for people to say: "Oh God, isn't he old!" It always depends on the writing and what it is. Doctor Who is not something I jump at and say: "Oh my Lord, I must do that", but then again the few number of times I've seen Doctor Who its always been a different Doctor and they've been rather fun. I have to confess I get my office to take care of it and if there's anything in particular they feel requires a good answer from me, I answer it. Moderately - I know there's a switch that's on and off! When people ask me what would I have done if I hadn't been an actor, I've now found out I'd like to be an IT expert as they make such a lot of money. Well by the same token you might as well be an undertaker! My ex-wife Dorothy Squires had a theatre in Llanelli in Wales and there used be a car to meet her at the railway station after travelling up from London. One day the taxi driver said: "I'm terribly sorry, Ms Squires, but I must apologise for the terrible smell of pitch and turpentine - my silly bloody brother-in-law has bought himself an undertaking business so I've been carrying coffins all day." She couldn't think of anything to say except "how's business?" and he said, "oh, bloody smashing, every bugger is dying!". An Evening With Roger Moore begins on 27 October at the Leeds Grand Theatre and will tour around the UK until 17 November. Stephen Hunt, 38, of Bury died while tackling the 2013 blaze at Paul's Hair World in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The girl, then 15 but now aged 16, had denied a charge of arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered. Manchester Crown Court heard new evidence indicated the fire was consistent with a discarded cigarette. This contradicted earlier findings which ruled out the fire being started accidentally. Alexander Leach, prosecuting, said: "The crown's case, which had previously been based upon such evidence which tended to exclude accidental ignition, can no longer be sustained, so as a result I offer no evidence against the defendant." Judge Michael Henshell said the "potential and actual" dangers of a cigarette discarded "without any thought" had been demonstrated by this "terrible and tragic case". He said: "Terrible consequences for a thoughtless act but the girl who has been hitherto charged with this offence was in fact blameless of a criminal act and guilty only of being careless." The teenager, who cannot be named due to her age, had been due to stand trial on Monday. Sixty firefighters tackled the blaze as Mr Hunt, who had five years' experience, got into difficulty inside the building. The ex-soldier died of his injuries in hospital. More than 1,000 fire officers, emergency services personnel and public lined the streets of Bury for Mr Hunt's funeral. Researchers at the House of Commons have produced a handbook for its 650 members - whose average age is 50 - full of statistics about what they call the "generation much talked about and arguably misunderstood". Like the baby boomers and Generation X before them, this group have acquired their own tag, although there is debate about the exact parameters of the group. So who is a millennial? According to this guide, it defines the generation as those now aged 25 to 34. That means they would have experienced at least some, if not all, of their teenage years and early adulthood in the 21st Century. And now the House of Commons Library, which describes itself as a "bespoke enquiry service to MPs and their staff", has assessed this millennial generation in 50 pages of statistics and research. Here are some of its key findings: The millennials are "more urban and diverse" than older people. Employment rates among millennials are at a "near record high", the report says. But it's not all good news - their wages have suffered more than other age groups since the recession in 2008, when many were just entering the world of work. The report points to research showing that millennials do not follow the usual pattern of having higher average pay than the generation before them. They are most likely to work in the wholesale and retail sector, followed by health and social work. And unsurprisingly, millennials are less wealthy than older generations, having had less time to accumulate savings. To illustrate the point, half of households led by a millennial have net wealth of £700 or less. However in the 65 to 74 age group, half have accumulated £22,700 or more, the report says. They will also have to wait longer to receive their state pension than previous generations. It will not be news to many millennials, but they are much less likely to own their own home than previous generations. The report says 59% of households led by a millennial are renting, with 38% owning their own home. It has not always been this way - 20 years ago, the report says, young people were more likely to own than rent. But now millennials are less likely to own their own home - and more likely to rent in the private sector - than any other age group. In the past 20 years there has also been a slight increase in the proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds living with their parents, the report says, citing Office for National Statistics figures. This is the case for 14% of millennials. Millennials were most likely to have voted Labour in the 2015 election, according to a post-election survey - which put Labour on 32.4% to the Tories' 28.7%. But they were also some of the least likely people to turn out to vote. Millennial turnout was higher in last year's EU referendum, and they were "far more likely" to vote Remain, the Commons research says. As for their view on the world, the report adds: "Recent significant world events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the 2008 financial crises are seen as having a major impact on millennials' socio-political outlook. "For example... it is argued that millennials have experienced long term 'scarring' in the labour market by having the misfortune to enter the workforce at the height of the financial crises."

Wales came from behind to beat Italy 20-14 in a qualifier in Monza to secure their place in next year's tournament. "The game in Wales is growing," the Salford Red Devils prop told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "It's getting bigger and bigger with a lot more homegrown players coming through." Kopczak continued: "Hopefully a lot more people will come and watch and see a lot of talent on show. "We've got a lot of young, exciting prospects in the Super League now as well and it's great to see." Wales qualified for the World Cup after finishing top of European qualifying group 1 having also beaten Serbia 50-0. They will face Papua New Guinea and Ireland in Group C and will also be up against Fiji in an inter-group game. "The group we're in is a very tough and physical group," Kopczak added. "We know what we need to do and we've got the skills to match them."

Wales captain Craig Kopczak says qualifying for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup will help grow the game further in the country.

Wuer Kaixi, who fled China after the protests, pledged to fight for human rights and justice in his adopted home. He pledged to take a tougher approach to Taiwan's relations with mainland China, from which the island split in 1949, at the end of the civil war. Mr Wuer, 47, is standing as an independent candidate. He has, however, reportedly made a deal with a rival candidate from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which backs Taiwan's continuing independence from China. Whichever of the two has the least support will endorse the other in a bid to unseat the incumbent from the governing pro-China Nationalist Party, also known as the Kuomintang (KMT). Taiwan will elect a new president and parliament in January. The DPP is expected to win. "The KMT needs to be normalised. It is an enormous monster," said Mr Wuer. "The biggest mission in this campaign is to deepen the democracy of Taiwan," he added. Mr Wuer fled China after the military crushed the 1989 student protests, killing hundreds. Unable to return home, he married a Taiwanese woman and settled on the island in 1996. Announcing his campaign on Friday, for a seat in the central city of Taichung, he said there was no contradiction between his Chinese roots and a commitment to Taiwanese democracy. "China is the home of my parents. Taiwan is the home of my children,'' he said. "My standpoint, my view, my idea of promoting democracy and freedom for my homes has been consistent." Taiwan has been independent since 1949, when China's defeated Nationalist government fled to the island as Mao Zedong swept to power. However, China claims sovereignty over the island. A long-standing tension between the two countries has eased in recent years, leading to fears among some in Taiwan over China's influence. In March 2014, hundreds of young activists, dubbed the Sunflower Movement, occupied Taiwan's parliament building in an unprecedented protest against a trade pact aimed at forging closer ties with Beijing. Artists Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer live in Jamel, near Rostock - a village that has become a neo-Nazi meeting place. No-one was hurt in the fire. Chemical evidence of arson was found after the big 150-year-old barn was gutted on Wednesday night. The couple had earlier reported harassment by neo-Nazis. Their anti-Nazi stand has earned them national recognition, German media report. Jamel has about 10 houses and is located in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, where the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD) has five seats in the regional assembly. Later this month the Lohmeyers are to receive the Georg Leber Prize for Civil Courage at an annual rock festival which they host. The "Jamel rocks the Forester" event is held under the motto "Tolerance and Democracy". The Lohmeyers moved to Jamel from Hamburg in 2004. A BBC reporter who visited Jamel in December 2011 found neo-Nazi murals and signs there, including one with the slogan "Jamel village community - free, social, national". The victims appear to have been killed some time ago, as the bodies were partially mummified by the desert air. Troops from Niger and Chad seized Damasak on Saturday, ending months of control by the Islamist militants. Earlier, Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan predicted Boko Haram would lose all territory within a month. "They are getting weaker and weaker by the day," he told the BBC on Friday. Damasak is a trading town in Borno state near Niger's border and is about 200km (120 miles) from the state's main city of Maiduguri. It was overrun by the militants, who began their insurgency in 2009 to create an Islamic state, at the end of last year. Many of those found in Damasak had had their throats slits and some had been decapitated. It is not yet known who the victims were. Chadian army Col Azem Bermandoa Agouna told AFP news agency that he had seen "about 100 bodies spread under a bridge just outside the town". Together with the Nigerian army, forces from Chad, Niger and Cameroon are involved in an offensive against the Islamist insurgents who began taking over territory about a year ago - after being pushed out of their base in Maiduguri. Nigeria is preparing to hold presidential elections on 28 March after security concerns led to a postponement of the original date in mid-February. President Jonathan's government has been heavily criticised for its failure to end the six-year insurgency in the north-east. He admitted that the government has been surprised by the group's progress. Boko Haram at a glance: Can regional force beat Boko Haram? Why is Boko Haram so strong? "We never expected that [Boko Haram] will build up that kind of capacity. We under-rated their external influence. Since after the civil war we've not fought any war, we don't manufacture weapons, so we had to look for help to re-equip our army and the air force," he told the BBC. The government has made similar claims in the past about defeating or driving back Boko Haram within a specific period - but these have not been borne out by events. Boko Haram promotes a version of Islam which makes it "haram", or forbidden, for Muslims to take part in any political or social activity associated with Western society. Earlier this month, the group pledged allegiance to Islamic State militants, who control large parts of Syria and Iraq and are also active in Libya. The violence in north-eastern Nigeria has killed more than 15,500 people since 2012. The tabloid was scorned for focusing on the prime minister's and first minister's legs during talks on Brexit and a second Scottish referendum. It said the piece by Sarah Vine was flagged as a "light-hearted" sidebar. Mrs May played down the row, saying: "If people want to have a bit of fun about how we dress then so be it." She told the Wolverhampton Express and Star that as a woman in politics she had often found that what she wore had been an issue "looked at rather closely by people". The prime minister added: "Obviously what we do as politicians is what makes a difference to people's lives. I think that most people concentrate on what we do as politicians." A spokesman for the first minister said the focus on Mrs May's and Ms Sturgeon's legs was "slightly surprising" when they had met to discuss Brexit and a second Scottish referendum. He added: "Brexit may risk taking Britain back to the early 1970s but there is no need for coverage of events to lead the way." The Daily Mail piece was part of more than a page of coverage on the two leaders' appearance. Under the headline, "Never mind Brexit, who won Legs-it!" and alongside a photo of the two leaders sitting down for talks at a Glasgow hotel, the paper wrote: "It wasn't quite stilettos at dawn..." The article was met with scorn from other politicians, including former equalities minister Nicky Morgan who said it was "deliberately demeaning". The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which regulates the newspaper industry, says it has received at least 300 complaints about the front page. The Daily Mail responded to the criticism, saying it often commented on the appearance of male politicians "including Cameron's waistline, Osborne's hair, Corbyn's clothes - and even Boris's legs". It went on: "Is there a rule that says political coverage must be dull or has a po-faced BBC and left-wing commentariat, so obsessed by the Daily Mail, lost all sense of humour… and proportion?" Ms Vine also defended the piece saying the Mail was a tabloid newspaper and "that's what we do". She told BBC's World at One: "I think people have had a slight sense of humour failure." Ms Vine added: "There was quite a lot of serious stuff about this meeting and then we saw the picture and thought, 'Gosh, look at those kitten heels and look at those fabulous legs, let's write some words about it.'" She said the intellectual coverage of the meeting was likely to be "quite dry" and her piece was creating a more "approachable version". Ms Vine also pointed out that male MPs' appearances were commented on, saying her husband former Education Secretary Michael Gove was once described as having "a face that looked like a foetus in a jar". Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning In her sketch, Ms Vine wrote: "What stands out here are the legs - and the vast expanse on show. "There is no doubt that both these women consider their pins to be the finest weapon in their physical arsenal." Mrs May's are "demurely arranged in her customary finishing-school stance", she observes. Ms Sturgeon's "shorter, but undeniably more shapely shanks are altogether more flirty, tantalisingly crossed, with the dominant leg pointing towards her audience". She says the Scottish leader's pose - at a meeting to discuss topics of state including the triggering of Article 50 on Wednesday - is "a direct attempt at seduction". Ms Morgan, a former secretary of state for education and minister for women and equalities, tweeted in reaction: "Seriously? Our two most senior female politicians are judged for their legs not what they said #appallingsexism". She told BBC Radio 5 live the Mail's coverage was: "Deliberately provocative, and deliberately demeaning." "How the prime minister deals with it is entirely a matter for her," she said, but added: "You've got two very senior female politicians who are discussing weighty issues and this is what a national newspaper thinks is appropriate." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was among the politicians and public figures to condemn the coverage. Former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman said: "Moronic! And we are in 2017!" Ed Miliband quipped: "The 1950s called and asked for their headline back. #everydaysexism". Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson contributed a shot of her "bit short" pins in the froth of a hot tub to the debate. Historian and classicist Mary Beard took the long view, writing: "Women and power? Worth seeing what we might be up against. Legs-it, ffs" And former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger drew a line to history - feeling Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt were also in command of some "nice pins". The front page was later changed to make it clear the sketch was written by Ms Vine. And the Scottish edition ran under the alternative headline: "Oh so frosty! Secrets of Nicola and PM's talk-in." Twitter, and the British public at large were quick to respond with wit. One spoof front page by Ashley Gould featured former PM David Cameron, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, Mr Corbyn and Mr Gove, not in workwear, but sporting shorts. It posed the same question. Others were inspired by their own legs. Ren tweeted: I can't get to my desk to work. Damned legs, they're seducing all over the place I just can't control them teehee! The 32-year-old came down in a field near Shifnal Airfield on 21 August after experiencing "severe vibration". He was uninjured but the the Kolb Twinstar MKIII plane hit a hedge and suffered "extensive damage". An Air Accidents Investigation Branch report said it was possible propeller damage had caused the vibration. The probe comes amid public outrage after Heather Cho ordered a steward be removed from a 5 December flight. Ms Cho, the daughter of the Korean Air chief, was enraged over being served nuts in a bag, not on a plate. The incident has sparked a major backlash in South Korea. The plane returned to the gate so the steward could be offloaded, before the plane proceeded on its journey from New York to Incheon. Ms Cho has publicly apologised and resigned from all her posts, both at Korean Air and at parent company Hanjin Group. The transport ministry said testimony from passengers and crew had confirmed Ms Cho "used violent language in a loud voice". The ministry believed she "may have violated Article 23 of the Aviation Safety Law, which requires the co-operation of passengers on a flight", and said it was filing a compliant. The ministry also said it would examine whether the airline's corporate culture posed a safety risk to passengers. Media reports in recent days have alleged that the Cho family's directives dictate employee behaviour at the company. The steward who was removed from the flight has alleged he was asked to gloss over the incident by airline executives, local reports say. State prosecutors are also investigating reports Ms Cho used violence during the incident. Ministry officials said she had denied this, Yonhap news agency reported. Korean Air could face either a partial flight ban or a fine, the ministry added. The incident took place on Sunday in the eastern province of Shandong, at the Taian Tiger Mountain Park. Authorities said the 65-year-old keeper was cleaning the enclosure when the lion bit him on his shoulders and neck. He died later from his injuries. The lion was on the loose in the zoo for more than an hour before it was shot dead by police. 'Rusty and rotting' Reports in Chinese media did not say how the lion managed to get out of its enclosure after the early morning attack. Officials put up steel barriers at the park's entrance, while zoo staff as well as visitors who had arrived for a morning swim in a pond in the park were evacuated. Beijing Youth Daily quoted a police spokesman as saying they mobilised local officers as well as special forces to the park. The spokesman said they cornered the lion by a wall within the zoo grounds, and shot it dead to "ensure the safety of park visitors". A reporter with news portal Youth.cn said that shortly after 08:00 local time, he heard a shot, then "continuous gunfire" 10 minutes later. The park reopened for business in the afternoon. The incident is currently the third most popular trending topic on the Chinese microblog network Weibo. Many questioned if it was necessary to kill the lion and raised concerns about the safety and living conditions in zoos, which have been criticised by animal rights groups. "What humans like about lions is their fierceness, but this has resulted in lions losing their freedom, being starved and living in bad conditions, and now this one has lost its life," wrote one Weibo user. Others however argued that the lion needed to be put down as it had killed a man and posed a danger to others. The Taian Tiger Mountain Park houses a range of animals including deer, pigs, camels and birds in wire cages. An undercover report by Iqilu.com last year found it was in "serious disrepair". The news portal, which published pictures, said its reporter found some cages were "rusty and rotting, posing a safety issue". A park official told them that they would do a clean-up and necessary repairs. Activists with China Zoo Watch last August uncovered widespread abuse of tigers in zoos, and also found some were being used in illegal animal shows, reported China Daily. It has agreed the figure in a loan with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to cover some of its investment costs. Bosses are meeting in Wrexham on Thursday at a waste water works it is turning into an energy park. It is investing £36m to harness solar and hydro power at Five Fords, Marchwiel. The company said it was also developing an advanced anaerobic digestion plant on the site, which will use waste to generate enough energy to supply about 3,000 homes. Welsh Water, which serves Wales and Herefordshire, generates 20% of its own energy needs through wind, hydro, solar and anaerobic digestion technology. It said the majority of its power was spent on pumping water and waste water through thousands of miles of pipes. It has pledged to invest £1.7bn in its businesses between 2015-2020. Set in Wyoming after the American civil war, The Hateful Eight unites a cast of Tarantino regulars including Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell and Reservoir Dogs stars Tim Roth and Michael Madsen. It also casts Single White Female actress Jennifer Jason Leigh as the only woman of the eight, while Tarantino jokes that Channing Tatum "interns" for a first part in one of his movies. Just as Django Unchained attracted criticism, accusing the director of displaying a lack of sensitivity over slavery, so The Hateful Eight is reported to have created unease at early screenings in Hollywood over its race-related language, as well as the violence directed towards Leigh. However, Harvey Weinstein, the executive producer of the film, has called accusations of misogyny against Tarantino "fishing for stupidity", and Tarantino and Leigh have both been nominated for Golden Globes for screenplay and actress, something Tarantino says he's "thrilled" about. Leigh plays Daisy Domergue, a captured gangster on her way to be hanged. Russell, who spent the four-and-a-half months of the shoot chained in handcuffs to Leigh for the plotline, explains that they "had worked out the violence we were expected to carry out on each other carefully". "When this sort of thing is involved, you need to trust that actor, because if you don't you can't do your scenes properly. I wanted to make it look effortless and it was important that she was safe in my hands, that she could play the part as she needed to." Tarantino himself defends his script: "The violence is meant to send shockwaves through the audience, to create sympathy with Daisy, but also I have trapped all my characters in a cabin during a blizzard. "It's a pressure cooker in terms of storyline and you know the way I go; that any piece of outrageous violence can happen. So you're telling me I can cross all the lines with seven characters, but the eighth I have to protect? It goes against the entire plot." On the race issues in the film, however, with Jackson playing a former Union soldier with a letter from Abraham Lincoln in his pocket, Tarantino admits that "over the last 18 months, many of the themes we were dealing with in the film, we were watching on our TV screens" - referring particularly to the riots that followed the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014 by a white police officer in Missouri. The director's first draft of The Hateful Eight was leaked online in January 2014, after which Tarantino initially cancelled the movie. Now he says he's grateful "that the first draft got out after all, because it's on record that I wasn't writing a script in response to these events happening." He does believe his scripts have a deeper meaning, saying: "I like masking what I want to say under a story. I think in history, no other genre deals with modern America better than the western. The westerns of the 1970s after Vietnam and Watergate were very cynical, for example. "Django Unchained did really well and I hope it did reinvent the genre a little, so now we've got two big westerns coming to cinemas - The Revenant with Leo DiCaprio and this one. I've always said if you want to be known as a western director you have to make three of them, so I guess I might have to do one more." But cowboy shows like the 1960s TV series Bonanza were also an inspiration for the creation of The Hateful Eight; and the film has a retrospective feel throughout, with a three-hour running time, a musical overture from composer Ennio Morricone and a 12-minute interval for audiences. The movie itself was shot on 70mm film, employing the very lenses used to shoot the Ben Hur chariot race in 1959. (However many cinemas will be showing a shorter non-70mm version of the movie as few venues have the specialised equipment necessary.) Last year Tarantino announced he might retire after making 10 films - The Hateful Eighth is his eighth, if Kill Bill is included as one movie. Russell, who starred for Tarantino in 2007's B-movie homage Deathproof, believes that it would be a tragedy if he did, saying the director is "in a league of his own". "You just know within a few frames of this film opening who is directing it. "Every couple of generations someone comes along like him, and I wish everyone in the industry got a chance to work with him. Trust me, it's a crazy circus everyone should be a part of." The Hateful Eight is released in the UK on 8 January. Tracey Sherlock of the Welsh Refugee Council said other migrants were "still struggling" to get the paperwork necessary to settle and find work. Hayley Richards of Oxfam Cymru did not want to "belittle" the Syrian crisis. But special arrangements for Syrians sent a message that other refugees were "not as worthy", she warned. The UK government has pledged to settle 20,000 Syrians in the UK by 2020 under its Syrian resettlement scheme. Latest figures - for July to September - show that 294 Syrians have been resettled in Wales since the scheme was launched in October 2015. Ms Sherlock, policy manager for the Welsh Refugee Council, was one of several people who told the assembly's equalities committee on Wednesday how "resourcing heavily favours Syrian resettlement". Referring to Welsh Government funding to help resettle refugees and asylum seekers, she said: "We have four caseworkers working on that supporting 700 people over the last quarter. "By contrast, our Syrian Resettlement Scheme supported 46 people, so ten families, over the last year with two caseworkers. "All of the administrative things that people when they get refugee status through the asylum route find very problematic, they're not issues for people coming through that Syrian resettlement scheme. "So, very quickly people get support around employment, education opportunities, whereas people coming through the spontaneous route are still struggling when they get refugee status to access perhaps a National Insurance number, the paperwork necessary to then move into employment and all of those other things important for integration," she added. Ms Richards, policy and advocacy officer for Oxfam Cymru, said it was "very obvious that the two-tier system exists" although she stressed: "That's not to belittle the crisis that Syrians are facing - it's horrendous." However, she added: "It does send out a message to other asylum seekers and refugees in Wales, and this is also perpetrated by the media and the UK government, there's a real sense that Syrian refugees are good and all other refugees and asylum seekers are not as worthy. "Even within the Syrian community themselves - Syrians who have arrived spontaneously don't get the same welcome as Syrians who have come through the scheme." Speaking for the British Red Cross, refugee operations support officer Neil McKittrick said: "It's certainly not unique to Wales, this two-tier system - it's evident throughout the UK. "On the one hand, when the first Syrians started arriving they were met by dignitaries. "People who come through the normal asylum route, their first contact with officials tends to be based around a sense of distrust - 'why is it you're here? What is it you're doing?' "So, from the very first contact that people have, that kind of sets the tone." A Home Office spokesman said: "All those who are granted refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK are entitled to unrestricted access to the labour market and have broadly the same rights as British nationals and other lawful residents." The council is to cut £42m from adult services and £16m from children's services under its budget proposals. A "significant number" of day centres and children's centres would close, as well as at least two leisure centres and up to half the libraries. Funding for school crossing patrols will also be cut under the plans. The council's chief executive Ged Fitzgerald said he was hoping community groups and other organisations would run some services affected by the cuts. The authority said it was going to "work with schools" to see if they could fund lollipop patrols when funding is withdrawn. Investments at some pelican crossings will also be pulled if the plans are approved. Park Road Leisure Centre in Dingle and Everton Park Leisure Centre are earmarked for closure within the next three years as part of £4m cuts to the council's Lifestyles Centres budget. By Claire HamiltonPolitical Reporter, BBC Radio Merseyside This latest round of cuts will affect the lives of the very old and the very young in Liverpool and plenty in between. Two leisure centres (including Park Road in Dingle where Olympian Beth Tweddle trains) will definitely close. Some adult day care centres will shut. Sure Start centres - which were reorganised a couple of years ago - will be under the spotlight again and many of those could close. Half the city's libraries (again, heavily used by the elderly and the pre-schoolers) will close unless community groups come forward to run them. Perhaps a few will - but in reality it is a mammoth task to run a library, and neighbouring authorities are struggling to find qualified volunteers to operate theirs. Mayor Anderson is certain the city council will still exist in five years time, but based on these forecasts, its role will be very different. The council will cut a further £500,000 from its annual spending on library services, in addition to a £1m annual saving agreed last year. This could result in the closure of up to half the city's 19 libraries. Mayor of Liverpool and city council leader Joe Anderson said the council had to make "some really tough decisions". "Many of the proposals will result in some significant changes to services that people hold dear, but we need to start making those decisions now as the money simply isn't there to fund them in the future," he said. "Every service will be impacted in some way by these savings and several hundred people employed by the council will face the prospect of losing their jobs." He said the plans "protect the most vulnerable adults and children in our communities". The latest budget cuts follows central government funding cuts of £173m over the last three years. They had left the remote Atlantic archipelago at 04:00 on Friday morning. The passage lasted just under 31 hours across 41 miles of the Atlantic, through the Sound of Harris and across the Minch. They were welcomed home by a large crowd at Portree Harbour on Saturday morning. The rowers, who were raising money for the RNLI and Skye and Lochalsh Young Carers, spent two years preparing for the venture. Five of the eight crew were volunteers with Portree RNLI. After the boat arrived at Portree, team leader Donnie Nicolson said: "We are delighted to have completed the row in such a brilliant time. "We are tired, but sheer adrenaline and all the support we've been getting has kept us going." He added: "As five of the rowers are crew members of the Portree Lifeboat, we are fully aware of the enormous costs that are needed to keep the RNLI running. Hopefully we can do our little bit to help. "Skye and Lochalsh Young Carers is a charity most of us were not unaware of until the challenge. "We hope we can not only raise some funds for them, but just as importantly raise their profile and let people know the extraordinary and important job they do in our local community." Until last month, the last time the boat was in the sea was more than 100 years ago. Named Aurora, the 20ft-long (6m) skiff had lain in a boat shed on Skye since before the outbreak of World War One. David Evans, 23, was erecting a wall at the Well Barn Estate in Moulsford, Oxfordshire in 2010 when the block fell off a concrete lintel and crushed him. Cavendish Masonry Ltd had been found guilty of corporate manslaughter and admitted a health and safety offence. The Health and Safety Executive said the death was "completely avoidable". HSE inspector Peter Snelgrove said Cavendish Masonry, based in Maesteg, south Wales, had not properly planned the moving of the heavy limestone with a crane. "The stone toppled because its shape was such that it was potentially unstable when freestanding, yet nothing was used to fix it in place. "It needed to be sufficiently restrained before the lifting slings attaching it to the crane were removed." Cavendish Masonry admitted a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act and was found guilty of corporate manslaughter following a trial at Oxford Crown Court in May. The company was fined £150,000 and ordered to pay £87,000 in costs. Speaking after the conviction, the family of Mr Evans said there had been a "void in their lives" since his death. "We miss his smile, his infectious laugh and his profoundly honest nature. "We hope that these lessons are learned and communicated throughout the stonemason and construction industry. We do not want another family to go through the devastation and uncertainty that we have experienced over the last four years and the pain of loss which will always be with us." The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who has made mental health a policy priority, talked of a "seismic shift" to end the "injustice" of some young people being left without access to care or treatment. Now the reality and failings of the system have been laid bare by a taskforce of experts and NHS chiefs in England set up by the government. Their report begs the question of why Mr Clegg and his coalition colleagues have over the last five years allowed children's mental health provision to get to the state its now in. The report describes how there are an increasing numbers of referrals, longer waiting times and more complex and severe problems being presented by patients. It says there is a lack of clear leadership and accountability across different agencies, access to crisis services is variable and "real changes" across the system are required. Children and young people's mental health services are, says the report, facing "ingrained and systemic" problems. The report looks at the funding issue and notes that money often sits in different budgets in different organisations without adequate information on how it is spent and who is responsible. The authors note tactfully that "historically" mental health services have suffered when the public sector is under financial pressure. Translated, that means this area of the health budget has fallen in real terms and the report says that children and adolescent services funding has been reduced as a proportion of overall spending on mental health services. The report makes clear that there is a strong economic case for protecting the mental wellbeing of children and teenagers. A mental health problem can greatly increase the risk of physical ill-health - for example, coronary heart disease in adults. Early intervention, its argued, can result in significant savings in costs to public services in later years. The taskforce does give credit to the Government for some recent initiatives in the mental health field. Improved access to psychological therapies, more beds for young patients in areas with the least provision and extra funding for care of young people with eating disorders are moves which get a positive write-up in the report. But the group of experts and leading lights in the NHS and at the Department of Health who wrote the report are clear that radical reforms are needed. The status quo, in their view, is in essence not fit for purpose. The fact that as many as 70% of children and adolescents who experience clinical problems have not had the right counselling or treatment at an early enough age speaks for itself. Mental health charities have welcomed the report and the response by Health Minister Norman Lamb who has unveiled new measures, including better access to care and more support for parents. Like Mr Clegg, he is strongly committed to improving mental health services. But that question is still lingering - why has it taken till the final weeks of this Government's term of office for a full action plan to be announced? Following the beat of Stayin' Alive has been recommended in the past to help people perform the correct number of chest compressions each minute - as has Nellie the Elephant. However, using these tracks can lead to compressions which are too shallow, studies show. Experts now argue that better alternatives are now available. They want research into the field to come to an end. Correctly performed CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation - or mouth-to-mouth) is lifesaving and is thought to triple survival rates. The UK Resuscitation Council recommends that the chest is compressed by 5-6 cm and at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Performing CPR to Stayin' Alive was recommended in the US as the song contains 103 beats per minute. Nellie the Elephant had been recommended in the UK. A study published in 2009 showed that using the song as an aid did increase the number of people getting the right rate. But there was a drop in those hitting the correct depth. Now a study, published in Emergency Medicine Journal, has investigated Achy Breaky Heart, by Billy Ray Cyrus, and Disco Science, by Mirwais. It showed more than a third of compressions were still too shallow. The authors concluded: "When considering the combined importance of correct depth and rate, the authors are unconvinced that music provides any benefit in improving the quality of CPR compared with a metronome or audible feedback, suggesting that this interesting but unproductive area of resuscitation research should be discontinued." The St John Ambulance said training aids can prove helpful. "Although first aid training doesn't advocate using music to perform CPR, we have found that sometimes people struggle to get the correct number of chest compressions needed per minute and that a training aid, such as a certain musical beat, can help people identify the rate. "To be effective, both the rate and depth of chest compressions have to be right and we use other training aids to ensure that individuals get the right depth." The lead author of this study, Prof Malcolm Woollard, said music was not necessarily a bad tool and that "anything that encouraged people to intervene was a good thing". "Any form of CPR is better than none at all," he added. However, he said technology was moving on and devices can sense the pressure and rate of chest compressions, even some smartphones, could be used. Dr Jasmeet Soar, chair of the Resuscitation Council (UK), said: "I agree with the authors that alternative prompt and feedback devices are probably better than music for improving the rate and depth of chest compressions given to patients with cardiac arrest. "More importantly, if someone has collapsed, is unconscious and unresponsive, and not breathing or just making occasional gasps, dial 999 and start chest compressions. Push hard at about two compressions per second. "After 30 chest compressions, give two rescue breaths if you are trained - if not, just carry on giving chest compressions until expert help arrives." Gemili, who was just three thousandths of a second outside the medals at Rio 2016, was hampered by a hamstring problem as he came sixth in Birmingham. "I didn't want to race, but the powers-that-be said if I wanted to make the team I had to," said the 23-year-old, who will be part of the 4x100m squad. "I was trying to run with one leg." The three-time European gold medallist had been struggling with a hamstring injury since the World Relay Championships in the Bahamas in April. British Athletics declined to comment on Gemili's claim. As the first two finishers in the race on 2 July, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake and Danny Talbot took the automatic qualifying places for the 200m. Zharnel Hughes, who finished fourth in Birmingham and has a quicker season's best than Gemili, was named as Britain's third representative when the team was announced on 11 July. Gemili said: "I had a terrible race and I could have stopped, maybe I should have, but I was too proud to go out there and pull up." He missed another chance to impress the selectors when he pulled out of the Anniversary Games, which were staged seven days after the British trials. And Gemili's appeal to selectors to reassess his form before 24 July - the deadline for World Championship teams to be finalised - was declined. British Athletics performance director Neil Black said at the team announcement that "performance in the trials and recent performances meant we chose Zharnel ahead of Adam". Gemili said: "I'm completely fit now and, because I told them I would be, that's annoying." The World Championships begin in London on 4 August. "Missing the chance to run in front of a home crowd is gutting, it's heartbreaking," Gemili told BBC Sport. "But I have learned a lot about myself, my body and the people around me. I have got to take the positives from it." Kieran Gillespie, 25, from Birmingham, denies murdering Leon Barrett-Hazle in Handsworth in the city on 23 January, claiming he acted in self-defence. Mr Gillespie told police he had pulled "a pair of scissors" on his victim after believing he had been stabbed in the face. Mr Barrett-Hazle, 36, from Smethwick, West Midlands, was found to be unarmed. Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country The jury at Birmingham Crown Court was told the bus's CCTV would show a row breaking out between the men, with Mr Barrett-Hazle punching Mr Gillespie in the face. Mr Gillespie, of Wellesbourne Road, fled the scene in Rookery Road but returned to the bus to recover his baseball cap after the stabbing, the prosecution said. After his arrest, he told officers a disagreement arose because Mr Barrett-Hazle kept looking at him on the back row of the 11A bus. Stephen Linehan QC, prosecuting, said tests showed Mr Barrett-Hazle's multiple stab wounds could not have been caused using scissors. The barrister said: "He drew that weapon and we say you'll conclude it was a knife of some type. "In interview, Gillespie said he stabbed him two to three times - it was far more than that." The trial continues. University College London (UCL) Urban Laboratory found the number of LGBTQ+ venues fell from 127 to 53 since 2006 - a 58% decrease. This compares with a 25% drop in London pubs since 2001. The report found said a "significant number" were closed due to property developments and increasing rents. Sadiq Khan said the importance of LGBTQ+ venues "cannot be overstated". The Mayor of London said LGBTQ+ venues "enrich London as a whole" and help "members of an often vulnerable community to take pride in their identity". Ahead of the Pride parade on the weekend, Mr Khan and Night Tsar Amy Lamé announced a new LGBT+ Venues Charter, where owners and developers can commit to measures to protect their venues. An annual audit to better track venue numbers was also announced by City Hall. Last November, UCL highlighted a string of long-standing venues closing in rapid succession in the capital - including the Black Cap, the Queen's Head and Madame Jojo's. 21% property development 9% changed terms of lease 6% business rate changes 5% licencing disputes 25% no information Islington saw an 80% drop in LGBTQ+ venues since 2006, Lambeth venues fell by 47% while both Camden and Westminster lost 43% over the same time period. As of 2016 there are no LGBTQ+ venues in 19 out of London's 32 boroughs - up from 10 in 2006. Dr Ben Campkin, director of UCL Urban Laboratory, said: "A large number of venues have succumbed to changes of use, development, and the inability of operators and customers to defend themselves against rent increases and unfavourable changes to their terms of lease." He added the report disputed claims that "LGBTQ+ spaces are no longer needed, or have been replaced by digital apps, which tend only to serve small sections of these communities". The sides last met in 2005 when a scoreless draw in Dublin denied the Republic a World Cup play-off spot. Switzerland, ranked 14th in the world and coached by Vladimir Petkovic, have qualified for the Euro 2016 finals. Martin O'Neill's team will aim to join them in France when they take on Bosnia-Herzegovina in a two-legged play-off next month. The Republic will play the first leg away on 13 November, with the return tie three days later. Campaigners angry about the relocation of gynaecology services from Redditch to Worcester tweeted: "260 women making a 36 mile round trip over the next 6 months. That's 9360 miles travelled". Reverend David Southall replied: "I would have thought patient safety trumped distance travelled. People go to Ikea for less". He said the comment was "banter". Emergency gynaecology services were temporarily moved from the Alexandra Hospital to the Worcestershire Royal after there were not enough doctors to fully staff the unit in Redditch. The arrangement has been extended by six months. Neal Stote, from protest group Save the Alex, which is campaigning to keep services at the hospital, said: "The tweet may seem like a minor thing but it just shows the hospital trust does not understand the depth of feeling about services. "It adds insult to injury". Mr Southall said he was "trying to point out that people travel long distances." "We are a very mobile population. To travel alone in a car when you're poorly is obviously not ideal. As for the Ikea comment - it was just a bit of banter," he said. Twitter user Mike Bond called it "a shockingly stupid comparison" and said "the people who drive to Ikea by choice HAVE CARS. Some ill people don't." Nichola Farnes said the comment was "offensive and unhelpful". But Mr Southall has claimed he has been "cartooned" by his detractors. "Save the Alex posted a picture of a list on Facebook which had an Ikea shopping list of 'tea lights, meatballs and ectopic pregnancy'. "That is not what I was saying. I am just saying patient safety comes first". Damien was last seen in West Cowes on 2 November 1996 when he was 16. The 38-year-old man, from Ryde, Isle of Wight, is the last remaining suspect linked to Mr Nettles' possible murder. He answered a rescheduled bail appointment on Sunday. Police confirmed there was insufficient evidence to charge him with an offence. A woman, 36, and a man, 45, both from Cowes, were also released from bail on Thursday. Four other men arrested last year were released without charge in February. Damien had lived with his family in Woodvale Road, Gurnard, but his mother moved to Texas after her husband had to move there for work. Damien's body has not been located. Supt Dave Powell from Hampshire Police said: "Our work to find out exactly what happened to Damien Nettles will be continuing. "Although we have not charged anyone with a criminal offence, it has been exceptionally important to investigate information passed to us by the local community, which led to these arrests. "Murder cannot be ruled out at this time because such a wide range of information has been received about Damien's disappearance since 1996." "It cannot be right," the prime minister said, "that people can grow up and go to school and hardly ever come into meaningful contact with people from other backgrounds and faiths." The context of the speech was tackling extremism - and his fear that "segregated schooling" would make it harder to stop the radicalising reach of a separatist Islamist ideology. He warned of the risks of young people growing up in an inward-looking and disconnected environment. But how do you really stop such segregation? Particularly when, as the prime minister's speech highlighted, schools can be more segregated than the neighbourhoods they serve. This reflected recent research from the University of Bristol and the Demos think tank. This showed a pattern of different ethnic groups tending to disproportionately concentrate in separate schools. In London, 90% of ethnic minority children were starting in schools in which ethnic minority pupils were the majority. White pupils were disproportionately likely to be in schools with a white majority. The academics highlighted the places with the greatest segregation between white and ethnic minority pupils - headed by Blackburn, Bradford, Birmingham and Oldham. Among the most interesting commentary on this was from Trevor Phillips, former head of the Commission for Racial Equality, who said this wasn't about "terrible racial hostility". Instead it reflected the cumulative outcome of many individual decisions, where families "unconsciously make a choice". Education can bring out tribal instincts. Parents making school preferences are influenced by more than exam results, they want somewhere that feels right for their child - and that opens a whole set of questions about identity. Personal choice and calls for more integration can be pulling in different directions. Where does a legitimate exercise of parental choice - over factors such as school ethos, the social mix of the intake, religious affiliation, mixed or single sex, private or state - turn into a form of self-segregation? This isn't only a question in England's schools. In France, with a centralised, secular education system, there were warnings from Prime Minister Manuel Valls about the emergence of segregated schools in which there were only children from "immigrant backgrounds, from the same culture and same religion". But trying to enforce integration causes its own problems. In Beijing last week there were reports of Chinese parents staging protests against positive discrimination measures to give minority pupils more access to college places. The parents were angry that it would reduce chances for their own children. Mr Cameron said tackling segregation would specifically not mean "busing" pupils, referring to the controversial policy in the United States of sending pupils across cities to create more racially mixed schools. The US provides the biggest example of an attempt to enforce integration. And last year brought much attention to the question with the 60th anniversary of a landmark legal ruling that outlawed school segregation. There was disappointment that abolishing segregation had not been the same thing as achieving integration. While many of the set-piece battles against segregation were fought in southern states in the 1950s and 1960s, there were warnings that decades later in liberal, multicultural northern cities that schools were too often islands of separation, with communities living parallel lives. In New York, research showed a pattern of black and Hispanic students taught in schools in which almost no white pupils were enrolled. These were accusingly labelled by campaigners as "apartheid schools". In response there have been suggestions that schools should switch to admissions systems that deliberately construct a more diverse intake. But there have been longstanding claims that enforced desegregation can be counter-productive and that busing had led to "white flight" rather than integration, with white families moving out from multicultural inner cities to the suburbs. A particular aspect of Mr Cameron's focus on segregation has been on religion, specifically the place of Muslims in the state school system. What is most striking about the segregation data on faith schools is that Muslims do not have much of a place at all. Of the 1.8 million children in faith schools in the state system in England, only 7,000 are in Muslim schools. This doesn't mean that the demand goes away. Without the option of regulated state Muslim schools, many families use low-fee private Islamic schools, operating outside the public sector. Among pupils attending Muslim schools, 91% are in private schools, compared with only 6% for Church of England or Catholic. And a recent Ofsted report on pupils disappearing from school registers in Birmingham and east London suggested that some were switching to "unregistered" schools. Perhaps they are seeking what Mr Cameron said was needed to deter radicalisation - a sense of "belonging". A sense of being somewhere where young people feel confident that they will fit in and where they will be safe in their identity. A research project with schools in London, run by Kathryn Riley, professor of urban education at the UCL Institute of Education, is looking at ways to help pupils develop a sense of belonging. The researchers say young people have a "deep-seated desire to be rooted and to belong" - and that schools need to find a way to make that work for pupils from many different backgrounds. Mr Cameron put forward some ideas for building bridges - such as encouraging different schools to share facilities and teachers. He also proposed free schools with an integrated intake. Brian Lightman, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, backed calls to support schools with a "monocultural intake". "In such cases it is really important that they are outward facing and enable young people to understand and empathise with the diversity which exists within the country as a whole," said Mr Lightman. Expect to hear more about this balancing act between personal choice and collective identity when schools return in the autumn. About 4,300 soldiers and their families are to move to Wiltshire from Germany and UK bases in the next six years. At a public meeting on Wednesday some residents expressed concerns about local roads coping with the influx. But Paul Mannering, from the DIO, said the plans "will not go through without the appropriate considerations". By 2019, the Ministry of Defence is planning to base around 28% of the British Army in and around Salisbury Plain. To cope with the influx of soldiers and their 3,000 dependents, the army is proposing to build 300 new homes at Ludgershall, 540 at Larkhill and 277 at Bulford. Graham Wright, Liberal Democrat county councillor, said he was happy with the army's proposals but other residents said their concerns about "schooling and transport links" had not been answered by the DIO. But Mr Mannering, the DIO's requirements manager, said their concerns would be "taken on board" to ensure the plan was not "railroaded through". He said: "The plan is to develop communities, not houses - and the transport plans, there's more work needed. "But there's a full planning process to go through yet and opinions do count." Residents have until 17 June to comment on the plans before they are handed to Wiltshire Council in July. The museum in Aberystwyth, which was once the coliseum, is starting a Gathering Memories project to create new displays and a film about its history. The memories will also be used as inspiration for the creative design of the new shop and cafe. It is part of a £1.3m Heritage Lottery project. The Coliseum was opened as a theatre in 1905 and became a cinema in 1933. It closed in 1976 and re-opened as the Ceredigion Museum in 1982. Curator Carrie Canham said: "The coliseum is a very special building and visitors often tell us about their fond memories when they visit. "We've started to record these memories for posterity, including those of Walford Hughes who was born in 1920 and remembers seeing performances and magic lantern shows here when it was still a theatre." As a cinema, the coliseum was managed by Harry and Olive Gale who hoped to provide "amusement without vulgarity". Anyone with memories can contact the museum or drop in between 14:00-16:00 BST on 6 August. Ceredigion council leader Ellen ap Gwynn said she remembered visiting the coliseum in the early 1970s. "I particularly remember coming here to see the film 'Herbie Goes Bananas' with my husband Iolo who is an avid film and VW fan," she said. "We had just come back from holiday and I'm afraid that I fell asleep and missed most of it. "There is a lot of interesting history connected with the building and we would love the local community to get involved and share their stories with us." Miguel Arias Cañete said it was "quite astounding" that 149 nations have published their plans to curb carbon emissions. He told BBC News that even six months ago he would not have believed such commitments would emerge. Nations have been announcing plans ahead of the Paris climate summit. He warned, though, that nations' pledges had not yet reached the level needed to prevent potentially dangerous warming. Mr Cañete said: "There are many, many reasons to be cheerful. The fact that 149 countries to date have presented the United Nations their commitments to fight global warming is astonishing. "We have countries which together produce nearly 90% of global emissions - so that's a big effort. If we compare it with the Kyoto Protocol - the first time we tried an international agreement to help global warming - there were only 35 countries and they covered less than 14% of emissions. "It's quite astounding. The most important things is that the commitments are not only figures or targets - it shows countries are developing climate policies in a very comprehensive way." Mr Cañete said the key was that instead of a UN conference imposing top-down targets, governments were volunteering their own action plans. "There is no complacency - but we if we had kept on going with business as usual (ever-rising carbon emissions), global temperature would have raised between 3.8 and 4.7C," he said. "We estimate that current commitments achieve about 3C maximum. That's a big step, although clearly it's not enough." The generally agreed maximum "safe" temperature rise is 2C - although some vulnerable nations say this is not safe for them. Professor Jacquie McGlade, chief scientist of the UN environment programme (UNEP) told BBC News: "I am very surprised in a positive way - the normal procedure for these events has been governments brought kicking and struggling to the table. "Now I see member states, citizens are willingly pledging for transformational change in society. It's a participatory progress so you do feel it will stick when we leave Paris (the climate conference next month)," she said. "When countries saw the big players - the EU, the USA - put their figures on the table, there's a bit of copycat - which is a good thing. "Some countries sent in their commitments and having seen other countries, they took them away and came back with more ambition. That tells you this is going to be a race to the top, not the bottom." Gabon was one example, she said. Prof McGlade, based in Nairobi, said Africa was suffering the consequences of climate change already and was determined to tackle the problem itself. "There is a sense that this is a universal problem - the 'them and us' is beginning to disappear," she told BBC News. "Africa is becoming more and more conscious that it has to be a leader (on energy) if it wants to attract investment. You see Africa approaching this with an appetite, then you see a country like the UK not being pro-active in a way we would have recognised before." Charles Sena Ayenu, a Ghanaian solar entrepreneur taking part in the Rabat meeting, said: "There's still work to be done, but I see a lot of optimism, a lot of excitement and passion - not just from governments but from the private sector like us." The positive comments are predicated on the expectation that nations will actually carry out their promises. They contradict the conclusions of a new report from the former UK chief energy scientist David Mackay, which asserts that the UN talks are doomed to fail because nations will do as little as possible. Mr Cañete stressed that the current wave of commitments should be a starting point, not a finishing point. The EU wants the Paris conference to agree the need for a regular review of climate targets. Follow Roger on Twitter. The idea was to reduce glasses being used as weapons in alcohol-related violence, but opponents said drinkers would not accept the change. However, since then, more and more places have been using them. It is arguably the most-well known change to have come out of a scheme to reduce night-time violence which was pioneered in Cardiff and adopted by cities across the world. The Cardiff Model for Violence Prevention was launched in 1997 to fill gaps in police knowledge by anonymously gathering information at hospitals from victims of violence. It was started by Prof Jonathan Shepherd, who came up with the idea while researching for his PHD, after learning up to two thirds of incidents which resulted in hospital treatment were not known to police. He said reasons for not reporting incidents included people being afraid of reprisals and nightspots fearing they may lose their licence. And the solution was very straightforward. "It is a simple process but those are the best ideas," he said. "But it certainly wasn't obvious before we did this research that the police don't know about a whole lot of violence which results in emergency treatment. Prof Shepherd explained the three elements to the "Cardiff Model". "First it's collecting information in accident and emergency departments about precisely where people are getting injured, which street location, which school, which park, which licensed premises, which weapon was used and times and date," he said. "The second element is the anonymisation of that information. So it's not about sharing information about individual patients with local authorities and the police. "The third element of the Cardiff Model is a violence prevention board which brings people together from police, health, local authorities and voluntary sector to turn this unique information into practical prevention action." As well as plastic glasses, other changes introduced by the Cardiff Violence Prevention Board have included real-time CCTV usage to help police respond quicker to incidents along with pedestrianised areas around nightlife and better licensing for bars and clubs. He added: "The most important thing from the evaluations is that this way of preventing violence on a collaborative basis actually works. "The studies that have been published show that where this is done, violence that puts people in hospital is reduced by 40% compared to cities where this model is not implemented. "The same goes for serious violence recorded by police where this model is introduced." The model has been so successful, the UK government made it part of its crime prevention programme which has led to more towns, cities and A&E departments taking it on. "The thing I'm most proud of is the violence falling across England and Wales," said Mr Shepherd who is a professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales. "In Cardiff, there have been almost 1,000 fewer hospital admissions following violence between 2002 and 2016 and around 65,000 fewer A&E attendances following violence. "As a surgeon myself, clearly that's fantastic news as it takes a lot of work away and it's very costly to deal with 65,000 people who are injured especially when most of this happens at nights and weekends when most health services are stretched." It has also been used in parts of United States, Australia, South Africa and Netherlands. The first international interest came from Amsterdam in 2009 and was followed up in the United States in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. Since then, the leading national public health institute in the US - Centers for Disease Control - has recommended towns and cities implement the Cardiff Model. And about 18 months ago, the Australian government funded the implementation of the model at hospitals in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and two other smaller cities. "It's very gratifying that this started in Wales, in Cardiff, so this is known as the Cardiff Model," Prof Shepherd said. "It's extraordinary to go to meetings in Philadelphia and Sydney where the label on the door is 'Cardiff Model implementation'." Prof Shepherd would like to see the model being used more widely across the world in the longer term, but said the focus should be on key areas first. He added: "Because this is a low-tech enterprise, it's particularly relevant to low and middle-income countries. "This is not about treating people with a fancy new drug or a technological piece of surgical kit. It's about simple information sharing and use. "That can be done in a poor town in a poor country just as much as in a western country. "I think it's relevant pretty much everywhere but it's particularly relevant where violence rates are high - so in South American countries, in African countries, for example. "Although it would be clearly nice to see this implemented everywhere, there are priority areas and I think focusing effort - at least to start with - over the next number of years should be on those countries which have a real problem with violence." There were 2,580 incidents last year, the equivalent of 50 blazes every week - double that of two years previously. The total includes accidental and deliberate fires. The Ministry of Justice said most were "relatively minor". Thameside Prison in London recorded the most fires last year - 101. The Ministry of Justice figures emerged after a Commons question from Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron. HMP Birmingham, the scene of a riot involving hundreds of inmates last December, recorded 82 fires, followed by Nottingham's 78, Doncaster's 75 and 73 in Sheppey and Swaleside. Ten prisons recorded one fire incident during the year, including Thorn Cross in Cheshire, Huntercombe in Oxfordshire and Full Sutton in Yorkshire. There was a spate of outbreaks of disorder in prisons in 2016, when inmates set fire to their own cells. In HMP Featherstone in the West Midlands, where there were 13 recorded fires in 2016, prisoners started multiple fires during a week-long outbreak of disorder last August. And in November, a fire outbreak during a riot at HMP Moorland in Doncaster left cells damaged and two inmates injured. The following January a prisoner at HMP Winchester in Hampshire needed medical treatment after a fire broke out in a prison cell. The prison recorded 47 fires last year. Fire outbreaks have started to become more common over the past two years. The number of prison fires between 2005 and 2013 remained steady at between 900 and 1,100 each year. However in 2014 this increased to 1,236 and in 2015 there were 1,935 blazes. Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah said that the fire incidents covered a "wide range of circumstances" including accidental fires and deliberate acts of arson. He added that the government would "never compromise" on inmates' safety. "Staff are trained to respond to emergency situations in a timely, appropriate manner," he said. "Although the Fire Service routinely attend fire incidents in prisons, the majority are relatively minor in their nature." The 18-year-old from Barry died four days after the serious assault at Trecco Bay caravan park in Porthcawl, Bridgend county, on Sunday, 8 March. Appearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday, David James Braddon, 26, from Caerphilly, admitted carrying out the attack. He will be sentenced on 3 June. Speaking after the court hearing, Det Ch Insp Kath Pritchard of South Wales Police said: "This was a brutal attack on a teenage boy which has left his family and friends devastated by the incident, and brought shock and sadness to both the visitors of Trecco Bay and also the community of Barry. "We know incidents like this can cause a great deal of concern and anxiety. The community support has undoubtedly helped us to bring the person responsible for Conner's murder to justice." Following the fatal attack in March, his family paid tribute to the former Ysgol Bro Morgannwg pupil as "a unique, caring and compassionate young man with a warm, infectious smile complete with a cheeky wink". This was compared to 27,650 mothers taking maternity leave according to figures obtained by BBC Wales from HMRC for 2016/17. It means less than 1% of new fathers in Wales received payment for shared parental leave to look after their newborn children. The figures are for the first full financial year since shared parental leave was introduced in 2015. The Freedom of Information request also found in England 6,100 fathers and 542,850 mothers received a statutory payment to take time off work with their children. The figures, obtained by BBC Radio Wales' Eye On Wales, account only for men who received shared parental pay and women who received statutory maternity pay. A spokesman said: "Parents may also take unpaid leave. HMRC are not able to identify these individuals and therefore cannot identify everyone taking shared parental leave or maternity leave." The numbers were rounded to the nearest 50. Source: UK Government; ACAS Cardiff University IT worker Tom Green, 37, took six months of shared parental leave to look after his son Sam. He said: "Even though women take maternity leave this is accepted as the norm - I was the first person to take shared parental leave in my part of the university, so it wasn't usual. "If I'm a pioneer, I'm a pioneer. I don't feel like it. I'm just trying to do the best for my family." Jennifer Liston-Smith from My Family Care, which advises employers be more family friendly, said: "To come out, if you like, as wanting to share parenting, and certainly for guys in corporate cultures that is a little different and there are things for them to think about - is it going to affect their careers? Anything like this takes time to become more popular." She said some fathers were using shared parental leave - which can be taken in blocks and at the same time as the mother is on maternity leave - as an add-on to paternity leave. Ms Liston-Smith added: "What tends to happen is that a partner will take the statutory paternity leave and then take two maybe four weeks of shared parental leave when the baby first arrives. Then towards the end of the parental leave the partner might take another chunk of leave, but not a huge absence from his job." Statistics for the second quarter of this year, April to June, show the proportion of 16- to 18-year-olds who were Neet was 9.1% - 168,000 in total. This is a drop of 1.4 percentage points - 28,000 - on the same period in 2012. The government hailed the rate for the second quarter of the year as the lowest for more than 10 years. The Department for Education stressed there had been five consecutive quarters where the 16-24 age group rate was lower than it had been the year before. Skills Minister Matthew Hancock said: "With GCSE results out today, I am heartened to see the fall in the number of young people not in work, training or education. "We are heading in the right direction, but one young person out of work, education or training, is one too many. "That is why we are continuing to work hard to give young people the skills, confidence and experience demanded by employers and universities. "Only then can we say we have done everything we can to ensure young people reach their potential and help us compete in the global race." Analysis of the figures suggested the decrease was driven by two factors: The figures come out as 16-year-olds are receiving their GCSE results. This group of teenagers will be the first to have to stay on in education or training after their 16th birthday. Under the new rules, young people will be required to continue their education to the end of the academic year in which they turn 17. From summer 2015, this will rise to staying in education until their 18th birthday. The email attachment from East Riding of Yorkshire Council contained names and addresses of the recipients. The council quickly sent another email apologising and asking people to delete the original without reading the database. Director of corporate affairs Darren Stevens said: "We are very sorry. It was a clerical error." It is thought the email was sent to users of a children's centre in Hedon, near Hull. Mr Stevens said instead of the planned guide the email included a database of details belonging to the people the email was sent to. He said the email had not included any financial or health details and the council took data protection "seriously". A review has begun into how the error occurred but human error could never be eliminated completely, Mr Stevens said. "Think twice before any email is sent and make sure it has the correct attachment," was his rueful advice.

Businesses getting the subsidy are in court opposing Simon Hamilton's intention to publish their names. Their lawyer said the proposal to release the names was far from being about the public interest. Rather, he said, it was an attempt to "divert attention" from "ministerial & departmental responsibility" for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. Former first minister Arlene Foster set up the scheme in 2012 when she was enterprise minister; it was an attempt by the Northern Ireland Executive to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources. But flaws in setting the scheme's subsidy rate left it open to abuse as claimants could earn more cash the more fuel they burned, with the overspend estimated to cost taxpayers some £490m. Martin McGuinness resigned as deputy first minister last month when Mrs Foster refused to step aside during an inquiry into the debacle. Sinn Féin's refusal to nominate a replacement left Secretary of State James Brokenshire with no option but to call fresh Assembly elections on 2 March. The barrister said it was a matter of notoriety that there was a "significant suggestion that DUP cronies have benefited from the scheme". He referred to an assembly debate last month in which Mr Hamilton alluded to the fact that MLAs from other parties had links to people in the scheme. "Obviously the public interest he (Mr Hamilton) seems to suggest is 'there's been a lot of criticism of the DUP and I want to see everyone tarred with the same brush'. "It's clear that these people are being treated as a political football," the lawyer said. He said Mr Hamilton's insistence on publication of the names flew in the face of advice from his civil servants. The court heard that 834 firms had replied to a letter from the department seeking permission to publish their details, and that 94% of them objected. Among the reasons they cited were: The lawyer said said the minister's intention to release the names on the day the assembly dissolved was further evidence that publication was not about transparency. Five hundred firms are members of the Renewable Heat Association that is taking the action.

Economy Minister Simon Hamilton has been accused of using firms receiving RHI subsidy as a "political football".

A meeting on Thursday ended without an agreement. However, the local authority has made temporary arrangements so urgent decisions can be made. Local services are continuing to operate as normal. The SNP is the biggest party on the council but is well short of an overall majority. The party has 19 councillors, compared to 18 for the Conservatives and 12 for Labour.

The broader S&P 500 index dropped 1.76 points to 2,386.37, while the Nasdaq index fell 4.44 points to 6,068.11. Bank shares rose following Wednesday's Fed statement, which expressed confidence in the economy and led to an increase in expectations that it will raise interest rates in June. Higher rates are seen as beneficial to banks' profits. Shares in Goldman Sachs rose 0.5% while JP Morgan Chase added 0.3%. Shares in Facebook fell 1.8% despite the social network giant reporting a huge increase in quarterly profits. Dunkin' Brands saw its shares fall 1.4% after it said reported flat sales at its Dunkin' Donuts stores in the US. The company, which also owns the Baskin-Robbins ice cream chain, said first-quarter revenues rose slightly to $190.7m, but that fell short of analysts' forecasts. Mark Karpeles was arrested in August on charges that he falsified data about how many bitcoins MtGox possessed. MtGox shut down in February 2014 after it found that more than 850,000 bitcoins worth £132m had gone missing. At the time it closed, MtGox was the world's biggest exchange of bitcoins and handled about 70% of the transactions in the virtual currency. Mr Karpeles also faces charges that £1.7m in bitcoins was funnelled towards companies he owned a few months before the exchange closed. The charges were formally laid against Mr Karpeles as the six-week period that he could be held without charge in Japan was about to expire. Lawyers acting for Mr Karpeles told the Financial Times that he had done nothing wrong during his time as head of MtGox. MtGox was placed in administration by a Japanese court in April last year following its closure. Bitcoin is a virtual currency built around a complicated cryptographic protocol and a global network of computers that oversees and verifies which coins have been spent by whom. In early August, a Japanese court ruled against a man hoping to claim compensation over bitcoins he lost when MtGox went offline. The Tokyo District Court said the currency was "not subject to ownership" and because of this it dismissed the lawsuit seeking repayment. Ms Mueller travelled to the Turkey-Syria border in 2012, to work for the Danish Refugee Council and Support to Life, according to her family. On 4 August, 2013 she was taken captive by IS in Aleppo, Syria, while leaving a hospital run by MSF (Doctors without Borders). During her aid work, Ms Mueller visited refugee camps where she played and painted with Syrian children. She found that she "can't do enough" to help Syrian families, according to a report in her local Arizona newspaper, The Daily Courier. "When Syrians hear I'm an American, they ask, 'Where is the world?' All I can do is cry with them, because I don't know," she told the newspaper. Ms Mueller said she heard stories of children being hurt by unexploded bombs, women being forced into early marriages, and children being forced to fight for both sides. "Syrians are dying by the thousands, and they're fighting just to talk about the rights we have," Mueller told the newspaper. "For as long as I live, I will not let this suffering be normal. (I will not let this be) something we just accept," she said. Ms Mueller studied at Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff, where she volunteered for three years with the Save Darfur Coalition. She wrote letters and placed calls to members of Congress, and took part in silent protests, according to a separate profile in the Daily Courier. A website set up in her memory said she enjoyed camping and hiking. "She is always quick with a joke to keep people going, and generous with her time in connecting with others," it said. After graduating in 2011, she lived and worked with humanitarian aid groups in northern India, Israel and the Palestinian territories. She then returned home to Arizona and worked for one year at an HIV/AIDS clinic while volunteering at a women's shelter at night. In December 2011, she travelled to France to become an au pair so she could learn French in preparation for work in Africa. It was there in 2012 that she decided to go to Syria, her family said. "Kayla was drawn to help those displaced by the Syrian civil war," a family statement said. "She told us of the great joy she took in helping Syrian children and their families. She lived with purpose, and we will work every day to honour her legacy." In a letter written during her captivity, she tells her family she is being treated well and that she is finding solace in her faith. "I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our creator," she wrote. "I have been shown in darkness, light + have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful." One group of people spent more than eight minutes on the railway taking photographs and chatting. Two children even sat down on the tracks while they posed for a photo. The incidents all happened on a level crossing at Matlock Bath station in Derbyshire on 30 August. It is not the first time there have been dangerous incidents at the crossing, but Network Rail has released the CCTV footage as an example of what not to do. Martin Brown, operations risk adviser at Network Rail, said: "Trains can come from either direction at any time and being distracted by chatting, texting or taking photographs while using the crossing significantly increases the risk of an incident." The station is in a picturesque location and was built in the style of a Swiss chalet, which could explain why people are so keen to have their photo taken there. "Level crossings in rural, picturesque settings such as Matlock may look like good opportunities for a photo but the railway is not a playground," said Mr Brown. British Transport Police has increased patrols in the area and wants to speak to the people pictured to reinforce concerns about their "reckless and dangerous behaviour". Insp Eddie Carlin said: "I have had to tell devastated families that their loved ones are not coming home due to incidents such as this and it's heartbreaking." Level crossings were built with the Victorian railway more than 100 years ago when there were fewer and slower trains. There are approximately 6,100 level crossings in Britain, but more than 900 have been closed over the past five years. The 23-year-old Stromsgodset midfielder has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Johansen said he was looking forward to playing in a better league in front of the club's "unbelievable" supporters. The Glasgow club said on their website: "Celtic would like to welcome Stefan and wish him all the best for his career in the Hoops." Johansen was part of a Stromsgodset side that edged out Rosenborg by one point to win the Norwegian league, scoring four times in 27 appearances during the campaign. Celtic is one of the biggest clubs in Europe, I'm happy to be here The midfielder said he expected a higher standard of football in Scotland's top flight. "The league is better, of course; the clubs in Norway are not even close to being like Celtic," added the Norwegian international. "It's a fantastic club and I've watched videos about the supporters and you see how much the club means to them. "I'm looking forward to playing in front of them. "It means a lot and I'm very happy to be here. It's a fantastic club and I've spoken to some of the guys in the national team about the city. "Everybody has positive things to say about it and the fans are unbelievable. Celtic is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. I'm happy to be here." Johansen will wear the No.25 jersey, previously worn by Shunsuke Nakamura and Lubo Moravcik. "It's an important number," he told the club's website. "But I want to be a player who can improve my game and do my best and succeed, so I'm looking forward to wearing that number. "But, most of all, I'm looking forward to wearing the Celtic jersey because it's a very important thing for me. "Celtic fans are known everywhere as being the best in the world, so I'm looking forward to playing for them and I hope I can give something back to them and keep on winning trophies with Celtic." The midfielder is Neil Lennon's first signing of the January transfer window. Banks Renewables said it has amended its proposals for Knockendurrick community wind farm in response to feedback during a consultation process. In its original plans, the developer wanted to build seven 132m high turbines at the site near Twynholm. Under revised proposals due to be submitted to Dumfries and Galloway Council, six towers will be reduced to 115m in height. The seventh will be 100m high. Banks Renewables has also agreed to alter the position of the turbines on the site. They will sit to the east of the site, further away from the National Scenic Area. The changes mean the output of the proposed wind farm will decrease from 23.8MW to 14MW. Colin Anderson, development director at Banks Renewables, said: "A wind farm application such as the one at Knockendurrick is very much an ongoing process. "As always, as part of our development with care approach, we've listened to local people and statutory consultees and I believe we have come up with a more balanced proposal that importantly gives the communities the chance to secure an even greater stake in the project.'' "Knockendurrick community wind farm remains a unique project that can deliver a wide range of benefits for communities and businesses in the local area." The local community has also been offered the opportunity to buy up to 10% equity in the project - an increase from the original 5% offered as part of the initial planning application. Adrian Carpenter, 25, of Nantlle, Gwynedd, fell in while walking home from a friend's in Talysarn on 6 June. A Caernarfon inquest heard he had taken enough heroin, cocaine and diazepam to kill someone not used to them. He died of asphyxiation caused by drowning. The coroner recorded a conclusion of accidental death. Mr Carpenter's friend Geynfor Jones told the inquest he had tried to convince him to stay at his house as he had fallen asleep in the road the previous evening. But the gardener insisted on leaving and had only gone a few yards before lifting a heavy storm drain cover and reaching in head first. His body was found when a team of refuse collectors spotted his legs sticking out of the drain the next morning. PC Alexander Higgins said nothing was found when the fire service pumped out the drain, but he believed Mr Carpenter had dropped an item too small to detect. Senior coroner for north west Wales, Dewi Pritchard Jones, said the circumstances were something he had never come across before. "He was trying to get at something in that drain. What he was trying to get, we can't say," he said. "Once he got to a certain point he slid in and there was no way out." Taken to task by Brand about public disillusionment with politics, the Labour leader replied: "You implied... no change happened. That's just wrong." Prime Minister David Cameron called Mr Miliband's meeting with Brand a "joke". But Mr Miliband said the interview was a way to engage with millions of people not usually interested in politics. His appearance received a mixed reaction on social media, with some complaining it was little more than an ego trip for the comedian and others mocking the Labour leader's accent and choice of language. In the 15-minute interview posted on his YouTube Channel, The Trews, Brand challenged Mr Miliband over the ability of politicians to address inequality and tax avoidance. "The reason I have never voted in my life is that I think it does not matter," Brand, who has encouraged people not to vote and advocated a political revolution through action, told the Labour leader. "We all got excited by Tony Blair, we all got excited by Barack Obama and what happened." In response, Mr Miliband said he was the man to tackle powerful interests but downplayed expectations about how quickly this would happen. "This is important. I am not looking for euphoria. I know that might sound a bit weird... You don't want politicians saying 'vote for me and on day one the world is transformed'. It ain't going to be like that. Change is hard. Change takes time." "Much of the immediate reaction was about how Brand - perhaps unsurprisingly - was dominating the debate... those that could concentrate on the content found Ed Miliband's accent and choice of words intriguing." Read more. The Labour leader said voting was an essential part of the political process. People's votes had been responsible for major social and economic transformations, including the birth of the NHS, equal-pay legislation and gay marriage, he said. "Without politics and without government, that change does not happen. That is what happens in a democratic society," Mr Miliband said. The two men were filmed discussing a range of issues in the comedian's east London home, with Brand pressing the Labour leader about why no bankers had gone to prison for market-rigging. "Of course, if there's fraud committed by bankers that should happen. But there's a bigger issue than that, which is how you have a banking system that works for ordinary small businesses... for customers who need the help," said the Labour leader. Policy guide: Where the parties stand Challenged by Brand over the difference between the proportion of an average person's income taken in tax, and the percentage of profits handed over by companies like internet giant Amazon, Mr Miliband said "of course" politicians had the power to act. "It doesn't mean it's easy in a world where capital and companies are mobile. You have to have a government which is willing to say 'there's something wrong with this and we're going to deal with it'." There was little of Brand's comedic touch about the video. However, when discussing a perceived inability on the part of the public to distinguish between politicians, Brand referred to UKIP leader Nigel Farage's campaigning style in saying: "When someone with a pint on their head turns up it seems like a valid and interesting alternative." "I'm not sure I'd look so good with a pint on my head," Mr Miliband replied. Brand ends the video by addressing the camera to say he "learned a lot about Labour, a lot about Ed Miliband" and that he found it an "interesting experience". He added that it "said a lot" that the Labour leader was prepared to be interviewed by him. Political parties are often keen for well-known faces to sprinkle stardust on their campaigns, while some celebrities go a step further and run their own - with mixed results. Watch video from the vaults on BBC Timeliner Vallverdu, 28, left Murray's coaching team last month after five years, in a split described as 'mutual'. Berdych, 29, had been looking for a new coach after most of his rivals made big-name appointments. He approached Ivan Lendl, the man who helped Murray to two Grand Slam titles, but said the eight-time major winner was "too busy". Posting on Facebook on Tuesday, Berdych said: "Dear fans and friends... my new coaches for next year will be Dani Vallverdu and Azuz Simcich. "Thank you to Tomas Krupa and David Vydra for a great time and fantastic work." Murray met Vallverdu when the pair were teenagers at the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Spain, and the Venezuelan worked closely with Lendl during the Czech great's two-year stint with Murray. His time of three minutes 59.4 seconds broke both psychological and physiological barriers. Now, 63 years later, an attempt will be made to shatter another of sport's landmark times - a sub two-hour marathon. Bannister's mile was a triumph of Corinthian values and spirit. However, this marathon - to be run in under 120 minutes - is organised by sportswear giant Nike and the event, taking place in northern Italy on Saturday morning, has a distinctly corporate feel about it. It is the ultimate endurance test, but also one which no fans or broadcast journalists will be able to see. So is it an expensive PR and marketing exercise? Or, given its aim to knock close to three minutes off the best time anyone has ever ran 26.2 miles, should it be viewed as a laudable attempt to use sporting excellence and science to push human endurance to dizzying new heights? The world record for the marathon was set by Kenya's Dennis Kimetto in Berlin in 2014. His time of two hours two minutes 57 seconds is the closest anyone has ever come to going under two hours. However, it will be not be Kimetto stepping up to this challenge. The job lies instead with his compatriot Eliud Kipchoge, Zersenay Tadese of Eritrea and Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia. Kipchoge, as the reigning Olympic marathon champion, perhaps has the greatest chance. His personal best of 2:03.05, set in London in 2016, is impressive and just eight seconds shy of the record. To break the two-hour marathon barrier, a runner would need to beat the fastest-ever marathon by about 3%. That means they would need to shave seven seconds off each of the race's 26.2 miles. Therefore, to go under two hours will require a substantial improvement - something that several sports scientists believe is simply beyond what is currently humanly possible. Nike don't really do perceived wisdom though. They have signed up the three elite performers, paying them to forego the London and Berlin marathons this season so they can focus their full attention on what the company has branded "Breaking2". Historical weather patterns have been studied and a three-day window chosen in the belief it will offer optimum conditions. It has since been narrowed further and so, at 05:45 local time on Saturday morning, the three men will set off in pursuit of a place in history, but not the record books. This is because of the use of in-out pacemakers, 20 of which will be deployed to keep the pace at a necessary level. Their use is against athletics regulations, so no matter what time is set on Saturday morning, it won't be considered a valid world record. The pacers will also work in formations to defend the three runners from head or crosswinds. In-out pacemaking is just one facet of what is a complex and expensive operation. According to Runners World magazine, several locations were scouted worldwide in search of the perfect venue. Courses in the Netherlands, Chicago and Berlin are all said to have been considered and eventually rejected. Monza, just north of Milan, is more used to hosting Formula 1 races but was finally chosen because of its gentle corners, climatic conditions and the fact it's both flat and 600ft above sea level. So 17.5 laps of a 2,400m course await. Nike's legion of scientists, performance coaches, nutritionists and medical staff are also leaving nothing to chance. Mobile ultrasound units have been used to measure glycogen levels in the runners' legs, core temperature pills (an ingestible thermometer that transmits data) are taken by the runners and the latest advances in recovery methods are in use to provide every possible chance of success. Staff on scooters will deliver energy drinks to the three runners to ensure they don't waste vital seconds slowing down or even slightly veering off course to grab them from roadside tables. And then there's the runners' kit - or, more specifically, the shoes. Nike says its own tests on a special new shoe - passed as legal by the International Association of Athletic's Federation's (IAAF) technical committee - make runners up to 4% more efficient. So is the attempt just about selling very expensive shoes? Nike's big corporate rival, Adidas, is planning its own sub two-hour marathon attempt but wants to do so in a race setting; perhaps laying claim by so doing to a greater sense of authenticity. But Nike's vice president of special projects, Sandy Bodecker, is perhaps unsurprisingly enthusiastic about the impact that going under two hours will have, even if it is under such controlled conditions. "The sub two-hour marathon barrier is one of those rare ones that, if broken, can transform a sport," he says. "It's the last big, once-in-a-generation barrier… It will impact the way runners view distance running and human potential forever." It's a big claim but, very much in line with a company ethos that urges elite athletes and park plodders alike to "Just Do It." Others, however, are critical of the attempt given the money-no-object resources that have been thrown at it and the fact it will not count as a legitimate record. The attempt is also notable in that the world's media are being blocked from witnessing it. This is very much a behind-closed-doors event, which is unusual given the corporate fanfare it is accompanied by. There will be no fans lining the steep grandstands that are usually filled by thousands of Formula 1 tifosi on race days. It suggests that, with everything else under tight control, spectators and journalists would be a distraction from the task at hand. The very early start time, no doubt, presents logistical issues too. Instead, Nike have allowed a few hand-picked journalists to attend who have also covered the build-up to the big day. A web stream will also provide coverage of the runners on the asphalt track. Some supporters of the project have called it a "moonshot", given the scale of ambition and the effort expended to get to this point. So, just like Neil Armstrong's famous first step on the lunar surface in 1969, the world will be required to watch and wonder. BBC athletics commentator Ed Harry Amid the furore over proposals to not call anything pre-2005 a world record, there's some irony that we can get so excited about a race where a world record can't be set. Saturday 6 May is the preferred date, which is also the 63rd anniversary of Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute barrier for the mile. There are definite parallels. There was plenty of controversy about Bannister's attempt, just as there is about what's happening in Monza. But an athlete racing against the clock goes to the heart of what the sport has always been. If anyone can do this, it's Eliud Kipchoge. But that still means him running more than three minutes faster than his current best. The man, not the shoes nor the science, will have to find most of that. Twenty seven people were treated in hospital after a Yellow Duckmarine sank in Salthouse Dock on Saturday. Pearlwild Limited said it believed the debris in the water resulted in "severe damage to the hull" of the vessel. Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) and coastguard officials are investigating. Thirty one people, including children, were on board the craft when it sank. No one suffered serious injuries. The MCA has withdrawn MCA certification on all of the vessels. A Pearlwild Limited spokesman said photographs showing a near-shredded tyre wrapped around the propeller have been passed to the MAIB. He said: "We have spent tens of thousands of pounds enhancing the safety of our fleet during recent months to meet with the requirements of the MCA, but the extent of the damage was such that the vessel was unable to cope with the sheer volume of water. "We will continue to work closely with the MAIB in their investigation and fully expect that debris in the dock will form an important part of their enquiries." He added: "It is the first time in more than 35,000 Yellow Duckmarine tours that debris has been a problem in the dock." Ramandeep Mann, from Coventry, was on board the vehicle. She said: "You could tell there was something wasn't right, they were trying to fiddle with the gearsticks and you heard the tour guide saying something like 'this doesn't sound healthy'. "The next minute there was someone screaming from the back that there was water coming in. I just sat there and thought, this can't be happening to us." Mitul Patni, from Leicester, said he could not inflate his life jacket in time. Source: The Yellow Duckmarine He said: "When the life jacket didn't inflate, I started to panic, thinking, 'oh my God, I think I'm going to die here. I can't swim', so I was just so scared." Speaking on Monday, the Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said the fleet of DUKW vehicles should "not be allowed back in the water". He said options such as new crafts to replace the old vehicles should be considered if tours were to continue. After one of the vehicles sank in March, all four Yellow Duckmarines were stopped from going into the dock. Three vehicles were declared safe to return to the water two months later. In 2012, the Queen was given a tour of the dock on one of the vehicles when she visited the region as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour. On Wednesday, Pearlwild Ltd faces a separate investigation by the North West Traffic Commissioner amid concerns over the operation of the Duckmarines in 2012. The public inquiry follows an investigation by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) last year which found systems to be "unsatisfactory" with minimum standards not being met. It will examine evidence from VOSA and hear response from Pearlwild Ltd. The Yellow Duckmarines have carried almost two million passengers in Albert Dock since the tourist attraction first opened. Two separate campaigns, Vote Leave and Leave.EU, are pushing for an EU exit ahead of the referendum, before 2018. Playing down suggestions of a split in the camp, Mr Farage said they were "complementary" not "contradictory" and predicted they would ultimately merge. The In Campaign, which will make the case for continued EU membership, officially launches on Monday. Mr Farage has previously said UKIP will stand "hand in hand" with the Leave.EU group - launched at UKIP's conference and funded by party donor Arron Banks. But speaking to the BBC's Sunday Politics programme, the UKIP leader said both groups had his support, as they targeted "different audiences". Who are the groups campaigning to leave the EU? Vote Leave comprises a cross-party group of MPs and peers from the Conservatives and Labour, and UKIP's only MP Douglas Carswell. It is being run by Taxpayers' Alliance campaign group founder Matthew Elliot, who organised the successful 'No2AV' campaign in the referendum on Westminster's voting system, and Dominic Cummings, a former special adviser to Conservative cabinet minister Michael Gove. It has the backing of three existing Eurosceptic groups: Conservatives for Britain; Labour Leave and Business for Britain, and is being funded by party donors. Leave.EU was formerly called The Know and rebranded when an amended referendum question was proposed. Founded by UKIP donor Arron Banks, it has been described by party leader Nigel Farage as an "umbrella group" of anti-EU campaigners. It describes itself as "Britain's fastest-growing grassroots organisation" and claims to have gained 175,000 members since The Know was launched in August. Mr Farage said Vote Leave - which launched on Friday - was a "Westminster-based group" putting forward business arguments, while Leave.EU was "reaching out to millions of ordinary people" and making the case for Britain being able to control its borders. UKIP's only MP, Douglas Carswell is supporting the cross-party Vote Leave campaign. But Mr Farage said: "My view is that I will support both. I'm not interested in being partisan about this and I'm really confident that at some point in time they will all come together." Meanwhile, Labour MP Kate Hoey told BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend programme there was increasing support among trade unions for Britain to leave the EU. There was a "growing recognition and acceptance" that the EU is not in the interests of workers' rights, she said. "It's not in the interests of ensuring that we can trade with the rest of the world", she added. In depth: The UK's EU referendum Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will campaign for Britain to remain in the EU - if he secures the reforms he wants. Former immigration minister Damian Green told The World This Weekend that Mr Cameron would not to return "empty-handed" from his negotiations in Brussels. "I don't think there's a chance that he'll come home empty-handed, not least because some of the reforms he's trying to negotiate aren't just in Britain's interest, they're in Europe's interest as a whole," he said. Monday will see the official launch of the cross-party campaign for continued EU membership, which is to be led by peer and former Marks and Spencer boss Stuart Rose. Mr Farage said it would be "a group of yesterday's men and big corporate business". But Innocent smoothies founder Richard Reed, of the In Campaign, told the Andrew Marr programme it was "a people's campaign" with a diverse board that included trade unionists, businesses, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, students and politicians. Appearing on the same programme, businessman Richard Tice, from rival group Leave.EU, said the campaign was deliberately "non political" and "very much for the people". Leave.EU had signed up 200,000 since its creation, he added. Meanwhile, speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr show, former Conservative cabinet minister and pro-European Ken Clarke said "the sooner we have that referendum the better". A date has not yet been set for the in/out vote but the government has promised it will be held by the end of 2017. The elections watchdog, the Electoral Commission, has yet to designate the official campaigns on either side of the EU debate. The groups designated as the official campaigns for the referendum will benefit from increased spending limits of £7m during the campaign period, campaign broadcasts and a free mailout to households. The Electoral Commission says it will choose the campaign which represents it will choose the campaign which represents "to the greatest extent those campaigning for that outcome". Company leaders said the gains are a sign that investment in new shows and movies is paying off as online television becomes more popular. The firm is behind shows such as 13 Reasons Why, about teen suicide, and the political drama House of Cards. Boss Reed Hastings said it was "the rewards of doing great content". Netflix shares rose more than 10% in after-hours trading following the announcement of its second quarter earnings. Company leaders said new content creation was critical to competing against other online rivals such as Amazon and YouTube, as well as traditional television. They said generating new content also meant streaming services were expanding the size of the overall market. "The largely exclusive nature of each service's content means that we are not direct substitutes for each other, but rather complements," company leaders wrote in a letter to shareholders. "The shift from linear TV to on-demand viewing is so big and there is so much leisure time, many internet TV services will be successful." Netflix said it added about 5.2 million members during the quarter, most from overseas. International members now account for about half of Netflix subscribers, the firm said. The firm has cultivated those audiences with movies such as Okja, a film made by one of South Korea's top directors about a young girl's quest to recover a giant companion from a multi-national corporation. The firm also said it expects international members to help boost profits for the year - a first for that part of the business. The growth helped produce $2.8bn in quarterly revenue, up more than 32% from the same period in 2016. Netflix said it expects revenue to reach nearly $3bn in the third quarter. Profits for the three months that ended in June were $65.6m, up about 60% year-on-year. Company leaders also told investors they plan to continue to invest more in content as the firm grows. Margaret Young, who has dementia, was reported missing by staff at the Kinning Park Nursing Home, Mair Street, at about 16:45 on Monday. She was eventually found later on Monday evening. Police had appealed for help in tracing her as they said she was unlikely to have taken her medication with her. Resuming day two on 71-0, Notts lost regular wickets and had slumped to 175-6 when Alex Hales was out for 85. However Read fought back with his 137-ball knock to take the visitors to 330 all out, a first innings lead of 61. Worcestershire then lost four wickets, including stand-in skipper Alex Gidman for 21, as they closed on 115-4. After England opener Hales was bowled by Jack Shantry, Notts still trailed by 94 with just four wickets in hand. But Read's innings, which included 12 fours and a six, along with Ben Hutton's 40 and a rapid 38 from Jake Ball gave the away side a slender advantage. Hutton then did the damage early in Worcestershire's second innings, taking two of the four wickets to fall, but teenager Joe Clarke (43 not out) and Ross Whiteley (22 not out) steadied things with a stand of 47. Margaret McGuckin, of Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse, said the inquiry should not be "prolonged". The first minister and deputy first minister are to recommend a one year extension to the NI Executive. A decision is not expected until the autumn. The extension request was made by Sir Anthony Hart, chairman of the HIA inquiry. If the extension is granted, the HIA report may not be published until January 2017. The extension will require an amendment to the terms of reference of the inquiry, which will be brought before the NI Assembly. However, Ms McGuckin said victims could be compensated as soon as possible. "I don't think there is any need for this extra year, but, if there is, and they want to change the terms of reference, then they can change the terms of reference to set up a board and levels of redress and compensation right now," she said. "I have a brother and he is mentally ill because of what happened to him and in a care home at this time. "He's not well., he's ill, he wants to get a life and he needs to be compensated for the years of sexual and physical abuse that were meted out to him. "We cannot wait another two or three years." She added: "We're sitting around here waiting and everybody else is getting well paid while they do a job. A good job at that. "But the inquiry wasn't supposed to be prolonged and all these millions and millions are being paid out for the inquiry when it could be coming to the victims." Sir Anthony Hart, chairman of the inquiry, said he made the extension request to Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness with "considerable reluctance". He said: "However, on the basis of our experience to date, we are now in a position to calculate how many sitting days it will take to call all the witnesses who wish to give evidence from every institution, and each individual whom we will, or will probably, investigate. "Should our request for an extension of one year be granted, we will of course continue to make every effort to complete our work in a shorter time should that be possible." OFMDFM said the inquiry chairman made a "very persuasive and compelling case for a one year extension". "We do not underestimate the complexities of dealing with institutional abuse. "We must ensure that the inquiry provides every opportunity for those impacted by the allegations of institutional abuse to be heard in an open forum." The HIA inquiry's public hearings began on 13 January in Banbridge, County Down. It is the biggest child abuse public inquiry ever held in the UK, having been contacted by more than 400 people who said they were abused in childhood. Its aim is to establish if there were "systemic failings by institutions or the state in their duties towards those children in their care". It will also determine if victims should receive an apology and compensation. The inquiry was established as a result of a campaign for justice, which gathered momentum in 2009 following the damning findings of a similar institutional abuse inquiry in the Republic of Ireland. Conor McColl, 16, from Clacton in Essex, disappeared at a former Fuller's earth quarry in Clophill, Bedfordshire on 24 July while swimming with friends. Ampthill Coroner's Court heard that traces of cannabis in his blood did not contribute to his death. Coroner Tom Osborne ruled Connor's death misadventure. The court heard Conor and two friends were swimming towards an island in the middle of a lake. Despite his friends' efforts, they were unable to save the teenager, the court was told. The fire service rescued two teenage boys from the island on 24 July and police divers recovered Conor's body the following day. "I am a carthorse," says BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood. "You know there is normally a comedy figure - that's me." She is convinced that she will be the first celebrity voted off the show. "I've resigned myself to that fact already," she says, laughing. Kirkwood already seems to have formed a double act with Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell, as both have struggled in the training session where they were taught a number of different dance steps. "Daniel and I were at the back looking at each other. The cha-cha-cha was like a what-what-what? It was a nightmare," she says. "You know those races that you put ducks into water and they float away - my duck was just stuck," says O'Donnell. The singer admits he is feeling "excited and terrified" despite years performing on stage. "I think the hardest thing is to let yourself go on the dance floor. I don't do that easily," he explains. With a loyal army of fans, it is expected that O'Donnell will stay in the show for a long time. "I hope they keep me a while anyway but I think at the end of the day that the dancing wins out in the end." The bookies' favourite to take home the glitterball trophy this year is singer Peter Andre - something he is not happy about. "That is the worst pressure anyone could ever have," he says. "It's so nice but it is such [pressure] - you can't stuff up once." And he points out bookies are not basing their odds on having seen any of them dance on the show. "That'll all change once we start dancing and even if you're good at one style of dancing, this is a different world for everyone." Singer Jamelia, however, is not having any of his modesty, admitting she's been "getting him mixed up with the professionals". "He is a fantastic dancer - I don't know why he's playing it down." Jamelia says her dancing is "the family joke" and despite Carol's belief she is like a carthorse on the dancefloor Jamelia believes the standard of dancing this year is pretty good. "When we were rehearsing, I thought that there would be obviously amazing people and obvious clangers but there were no clangers, so that gets you a lot more nervous. "I don't think anyone's automatically safe. I think we're all going to have to work our butts off." Professional boxer Anthony Ogogo faces a bigger struggle than most as he has had to rehearse with his arm in a sling. He is still recovering from an operation after injuring it in a fight. He took advice from his surgeon, doctor and physio before signing up and says he will be out of the sling for the first live shows. "It's hard," he admits, "but as an athlete you've got to work around stuff. I've had 200 fights in my career and probably about 10 of them I've walked into the ring 100%." Both Kellie Bright from EastEnders and Helen George from Call The Midwife will need to find time to rehearse while filming their shows. However, George admits the thing she is struggling with most is being herself. "I find it really intimidating not being in character. I'm getting sweaty palms just thinking about it. "We practised the bit where they introduce you for the first time and we walk down the stairs and Kirsty [Gallacher] turned round and I was just stood there doing nothing saying, 'Someone take me home.'" Entering the Strictly world sees the stars dressing up in clothes they would probably never normally wear, which has caused a few issues for some of them. "I actually put two legs in one hole of my leotard," admits sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher. "I said, 'Please say I'm not the first to do that' and they said, 'No, Kirsty, you're not'." "They are good at convincing you," says Countryfile presenter Anita Rani. "God knows how they managed to get me into the dress I'm wearing. "It's a bondage number, it's just straps. This bit of my arse is actually on display," she says pointing to her side. "It's never seen daylight before." "I guess I've been Strictly-fied." Athlete Iwan Thomas, however, did not need any persuasion when it came to his outfits. "I fully went in saying I need it brighter and tighter and with more sparkly bits." And he has a plan. "Week one it's Lycra, very fitted and the trousers are tight. "Week two I'm hoping to unzip a bit and week three it's off. "If I'm still in, I might have one of those wardrobe malfunctions and rip it off. "I think you have to embrace the outfits - you've got to embrace everything about Strictly as it's the chance of a lifetime." Strictly Come Dancing starts on BBC One on Saturday night at 19.15 BST. Maj James Bowman, Lt Neal Turkington and Cpl Arjun Purja Pun died in a suspected premeditated attack by an Afghan National Army member. Maj Bowman was shot as he slept. His comrades were shot in their command centre, where four others were injured. The inquest in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, concluded that there was no evidence of failure to properly protect the men. Wiltshire coroner David Ridley said: "I am satisfied that all three were killed as a result of the actions of the member of the Afghan National Army (ANA)." The inquest heard that Sgt Talib Hussein, 23, of the ANA, shot Maj Bowman, 34, from Salisbury, Wiltshire, dead in his sleeping quarters in Patrol Base 3 (PB3) in Nahr-e Saraj district, near Helmand's capital, Lashkar Gah. Using an Afghan-issue light machine gun, an M16 rifle and a grenade launcher, he then fired into the base's command centre, killing Lt Turkington, 26, from Craigavon, Northern Ireland, and Cpl Pun, 33, from Nepal, before escaping. Post-mortem examinations found all three soldiers had died from gunshot wounds, the inquest was told. By Nick HighamBBC News The key question facing the inquest was this: had the army done all it could to protect the men from the risks posed by the Afghan National Army soldiers with whom they were embedded at Patrol Base 3 in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand? Their commanding officer, Lt Col Strickland, told the inquest the external threats posed by Taliban insurgents were far greater than the threat from inside the base, and that his men would have been at greater risk if they had not sought to build mutual trust and respect in partnership with the Afghan National Army. The inquest heard there had been friction between the British and Afghan troops, including a row over bottled water following which the Gurkhas' Hindu temple was vandalised. But Maj Bowman, the base commander, had not been concerned. And the inquest was told that nothing about the assailant himself, Talib Hussein, remotely suggested that he posed a risk. The coroner concluded there was no evidence of any systematic failure by the army in its duty to protect its soldiers while they were on a British base. Mr Ridley accepted the Army had a duty to protect those on the base under the European Convention for Human Rights but said he saw no evidence it had failed to do so. "One must guard against hindsight," he said. "In this case the possibility of an ANA attack was known but it was never perceived at any level, either by those based at PB3 or higher up, as a real risk, an actual risk." Speaking of Hussein, Mr Ridley said: "The general perception was that he was a quiet individual but (he) had the respect of those with the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf)." He was one of the better members of the ANA, with nothing to suggest he posed a safety risk, the coroner said. After the inquest, Lt Turkington's father, Ivor, said he was pleased at the judge's acknowledgement of the Army's duties in relation to the human rights of personnel on bases outside the UK. The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission had backed him in raising the point. Its director Virginia McVea said the ruling would have a "major impact" on future inquests. "It ensures a fuller investigation where there is a suggestion of systemic failures to protect soldiers' lives," she said. Brig Richard Felton, then commander of Taskforce Helmand, had told the inquest that his main concern was the "thousands and thousands" of attacks on bases from insurgent forces. Jonathan Laidlaw QC, representing the family of Lt Turkington, told the brigadier they were concerned that no steps had been taken prior to the attack to prepare the troops for the threat from ANA soldiers. Brig Felton said: "There was no evidence for the threat. We had been living cheek-by-jowl with the ANA for four years with no incident." He said the relationship between the British troops and their ANA counterparts depended on trust. "If you are facing real and present danger then you have to have that trust and you do not build up that trust by putting up physical barriers where it's not appropriate." Nothing suggested that Hussein was a member of the Taliban who had infiltrated the ANA, the inquest heard. However, after the killings, a man calling himself Talib Hussein contacted the BBC bureau in Kabul to claim he carried out the killings, saying he had been angry at the conduct of British troops and that he had acted alone. He said he had joined the Taliban after the attack. Capt Peter Houlton-Hart told the Trowbridge inquest he thought Talib Hussein may have been threatened with retribution if he did not carry out the attack. All of the managerial movements for November will appear below, followed by the full list of each club, league-by-league. To read the list for October, visit the ins and outs page. It happened at around 01:20 BST on Thursday when a group of men attacked a house in Loughanhill Park. They forced their way into the house after smashing windows. A living room door was also damaged. A woman in her 40s and a teenage boy and girl were in the house at the time. Their first home game is against Manchester United a week later with a trip to Crystal Palace to follow. Manager Paul Clement guided Swans to survival last season with three wins in their final four games. He will hope they are not involved in a similar battle in a 2017-18 run-in that involves games against Man Utd, Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea. Swans' season ends with home game against Stoke City and on Boxing Day they travel to Liverpool. Clement was Swansea's third manager of 2016-17, succeeding American Bob Bradley, who had taken over after the departure of Italian Francesco Guidolin. Wales centre Allen, Scotland centre Bennett and England scrum-half Simpson are in a 25-man party which will be reduced to 12. Uncapped Scarlets flanker James Davies, Harlequins back Ollie Lindsay-Hague and Newcastle's Marcus Watson are included. Team GB's women's squad of 23 includes 21 England players. Wales' Jasmine Joyce and Stephanie Johnston of Scotland are the only non-English players named. England sevens captain Tom Mitchell and Wales skipper Luke Treharne are among the sevens specialists in the men's squad. Although the likes of Allen, Bennett, Simpson and Davies are recognised 15-a-side players, they all have considerable sevens experience. Bennett and Davies represented Scotland and Wales respectively at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and both have also played in the Sevens World Series, as has Cardiff Blues centre Allen. "Exciting talent was available to us and competition for places was tough," said head coach Simon Amor. "We're now really looking forward to bringing this group together as one team and creating an incredible Great Britain spirit." The 25 players will meet on 30 May for a seven-week training period involving four international competitions, before the squad is cut to 12 in July. Great Britain sevens men: Cory Allen (Cardiff Blues), Mark Bennett (Glasgow Warriors), Dan Bibby (England Sevens), Tom Bowen (England Sevens), Phil Burgess (England Sevens), Sam Cross (Wales Sevens), James Davies (Scarlets), Alex Davis (England Sevens), Richard de Carpentier (England Sevens), Jamie Farndale (Scotland Sevens), Alex Gray (England Sevens), Charlie Hayter (England Sevens), Warwick Lahmert (England Sevens), Ollie Lindsay-Hague (Harlequins), Gavin Lowe (Scotland Sevens), Ruaridh McConnochie (England Sevens), Tom Mitchell (England Sevens), Luke Morgan (Wales Sevens), Dan Norton (England Sevens), Scott Riddell (Scotland Sevens), Mark Robertson (Scotland Sevens), James Rodwell (England Sevens), Joe Simpson (Wasps), Luke Treharne (Wales Sevens), Marcus Watson (Newcastle Falcons). Great Britain sevens women (all England unless otherwise stated): Claire Allan, Natasha Brennan, Abbie Brown, Rachael Burford, Heather Fisher, Victoria Fleetwood, Natasha Hunt, Jasmine Joyce (Wales Sevens), Stephanie Johnston (Scotland Sevens), Megan Jones, Alex Matthews, Fran Matthews, Sarah Mckenna, Katy Mclean, Marlie Packer, Alice Richardson, Emily Scarratt, Emily Scott, Michaela Staniford, Danielle Waterman, Joanne Watmore, Kay Wilson, Amy Wilson Hardy. The Irishwoman saw off the ex-IBF super-featherweight challenger in Manchester to remain unbeaten in the professional ranks after four fights. Taylor, 30, had Bulgarian Koleva on the canvas in the seventh round. "I definitely needed the eight rounds and it was a great contest against a very strong opponent," said Taylor. The Bray boxer had won two of her first three professional fights inside the distance and always looked in control against Koleva on Saturday night. The fight was on the undercard of Anthony Crolla's world lightweight title rematch against Jorge Linares. Taylor's last victory was on 4 March, when she stopped Italian Monica Gentili. Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn is hopeful of landing a world title fight by the end of the year. The London 2012 Olympic champion won six European titles and five world crowns during a distinguished amateur career, before turning professional in October. Hundreds of people have now fled Warankara and schools have shut, they said. This is only the second time that al-Shabab is known to have occupied territory in Kenya. The al-Qaeda-linked group has its headquarters in neighbouring Somalia. The BBC Somali Service's Mohammed Mohammed says al-Shabab appears to be implementing its threat to "take the war" to Kenya. Last month, it invaded Yumbis town, also in the north-east, before withdrawing without a fight. Latest African news updates Residents in Warankara, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, told the BBC that the militants have been patrolling the village. People were scared, but the gunmen have not harmed anyone, they said. The militants had also given sermons in the village, residents added. A senator for the area, Bilow Adan Kero, told the BBC Somali Service that he had received similar reports from the village. He urged the government to take urgent steps to curb the insurgency. Residents said the security forces have not intervened to drive out the militants. Warankara is in Kenya's Mandera County, close to the military camp in Dambas town and the border with Somalia. In April, al-Shabab militants launched an assault on a university in the north-eastern town of Garissa, killing 148 people in what was the deadliest ever attack by the group. The insurgents have stepped up attacks in Kenya since losing key cities and towns in Somalia to an African Union (AU) force, which includes Kenyan troops. A bout of gastroenteritis left the Edinburgh club with "few fit players", with the game rescheduled for 12 April. Aberdeen, 12 points ahead of third-placed Hearts, visit Tynecastle on Friday evening. "The players are over the illness and they're ready to go," head coach Robbie Neilson told BBC Scotland. "They've taken a couple of days, as expected. "It was a 24 to 48 hour thing and when they run out tomorrow under the floodlights in front of a full house there will be no issue about energy." Hearts closed their Riccarton training base on Tuesday and Wednesday to prevent the bug spreading further. "We asked the players to go to their own gyms and do a bit of work themselves," explained Neilson. "It's not the ideal preparation but it had to be done." Hearts have a game in hand over Aberdeen and Neilson is confident that his team can overhaul the Dons if they get the better of Friday's contest. "It's a huge game," he said. "Aberdeen are desperate to win to keep close to Celtic and we're desperate to win to keep close to Aberdeen. "A draw doesn't do anybody any good. "We play Aberdeen twice and we have a game in hand. If we win those, the gap is down to three points going into the split and it's going to be tight. "Yes, Aberdeen are a very good team and expected to finish second, if they can't finish first, so it's up to us to try and nick that sport off them." Callum Paterson has missed the last five matches with a shoulder injury but Neilson expects the full-back to return against Aberdeen. The five-metre mound has been built at the Whitesands, which is regularly inundated by the River Nith. Officials behind the £15m river defence and regeneration programme hope it will demonstrate the scale of their plans. Critics of the flood prevention scheme claim there are cheaper and less intrusive alternatives. They have raised fears that it will result in a loss of car parking spaces but Dumfries and Galloway Council has pledged to create more on-street parking. Colin Smith, who chairs the council's economy, environment and infrastructure committee, said the blueprint had been drawn up after careful consideration. The model is part of a wider public exhibition at the former Baker's Oven in High Street, Dumfries. The 23-year-old played four times in the competition for Yorkshire last summer, scoring 113 runs. Head is a current member of Australia's one-day squads, playing 22 one-day and seven T20 internationals since making his debut in January 2016. "I would like to help the team go further than last year and hopefully win the T20 Blast," said Head. The left-hander played for hometown side Adelaide Strikers during this winter's Big Bash League, hitting 76 runs in his five innings. He will join up with fellow Australia international batsman Peter Handscomb, who has signed to play in all three formats, at Headingley. Yorkshire first-team coach Andrew Gale added: "It was a no-brainer to bring Travis back. If we had the opportunity to bring him back, we were always going to. "He has gone from strength-to-strength since he left us last summer, getting into the Australia team and being a consistent performer for them." In a tight first half, Tom Hooper nearly opened the scoring for the Iron but his driven shot was saved by keeper Josh Lillis. After the visitors' Kevin Van Veen hit the crossbar, Joe Bunney's drive put the home side ahead. Murray Wallace's header equalised for Scunthorpe but Vincenti rifled home to seal the win for Rochdale. Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I think performances get forgotten about. It was important that we responded as a team to last week (losing at Burton) because last week was a psychological disappointment in the manner that we didn't perform. "If we perform well and we lose games, you remain confident. "Last week we went too far away from our DNA and our template of the way we want to play, it's taken a lot of rescuing this week." Scunthorpe boss Mark Robins told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "There was nothing in the game really between the two teams. I think we defended pretty well and they've defended pretty well and restricted play to the middle third of the pitch. "We've hit the bar, we've had some good attempts on goal, we've scored a goal from a corner and we've done ok. It's come down to defending a cross in the final five minutes of the game which is disappointing. "We've got to dust ourselves down, get on with things and prepare for the game next week away at Southend and can we get our first away win there." Whatever he said subsequently to his manager, Mark Warburton, can't have come as a surprise either. Barton has a tongue like barbed wire at times. Anybody with even a passing knowledge of the guy would know this. You would expect the man who signed him in the summer to know it better than anybody. It can't have gone down as a shock, either, when Barton went on talkSPORT on Friday morning to "defend my position". Barton feels a sense of injustice. This situation has degenerated into a mess now. "I've been asked to re-evaluate the way I'm thinking, my thoughts, at this moment - and I don't think they're going to change," said Barton on radio. Hardly a comment of a man who has considered what his manager has said to him and is seeing the error of his ways. Far from it. "The way it's been handled is strange," he added. The way Rangers have handled it? That's not going to build bridges either. "I don't think I've done anything to apologise for," he added. Again, he's at odds with his club who, clearly, feel he's done something wrong or else why tell him to stay away for a week? There was more. "Any Rangers fan would expect Rangers players, after what's happened, to be hurting," he said. "I know they were hurting, the fans. It's not just a football match up here. It's not just three points on a Saturday. It's not that way. It goes a lot deeper in this city. "You would be expecting the players to be holding some kind of inquest. Bear in mind that it's not only the Celtic game. We haven't quite hit our straps this season... The team isn't functioning well. "Okay, I'm a huge part of that, but we're all not playing well. Is it through lack of desire? No. We're just struggling to find our way as a team. Hence, we're having the conversation we're having. Because finishing second in Scotland is nothing." Rangers have eight points from a possible 15 in the Premiership. They have drawn 1-1 with the teams that finished 10th and 11th last season - Hamilton and Kilmarnock - have won 2-1 against the teams that finished 5th and 8th - Motherwell and Dundee - and have lost 5-1 to the champions, Celtic. Barton's comments accurately reflect a poor start to the season, but Warburton has had a go at those who have, in his view, overly criticised his team's beginning to the season. Barton is justified in saying what he said, but his manager, you fancy, is not going to like him saying it publicly. After their drubbing by Celtic - Warburton said it felt more like 3-1 than 5-1, another area where he is in conflict with Barton - you would have expected an honesty session at Rangers. Given his personality, if there's going to be an honesty session then Barton is going to be pretty damn honest. Getting shocked by the severity of his language is akin to expressing amazement at turkey being served at Christmas. Barton hasn't brought anything like his best football to Rangers. He's been a massive let-down - but his personality is his personality and that never changes. He can be confrontational in his views; insensitive, unfair and maybe even cruel. He says everything he does and says is for one purpose and one purpose only - to win matches. That's his take on it. He's unbending on that. He says the message might be delivered unsympathetically, but that the message is right. He didn't just develop these personality traits when he landed in Glasgow. So why has Warburton seen fit to expel him from the Rangers camp until Monday? Was this not just Barton behaving like Barton? This is part of what you sign up for when you bring him to your football club. Training ground bust-ups are in the fabric of the game. They happen frequently. Mostly, we never hear about them until players have long since retired and are content, with the passage of time, to fill us in on what really went on back in the day. Managers are there to manage. Warburton is not the only boss in Britain to have a difficult character on his books. Part of a manager's job is to handle these players without it becoming a public saga. The news of this spat, or spats, was leaked. That's one question you have to ask of the Ibrox operation. How did it get out? How, also, did it get to the point that Barton was sent from the training ground to cool down and then was allowed to pipe-up on live radio to explain how this episode has "changed the landscape slightly" for him at Ibrox. Barton says don't shoot the messenger, just listen to the message. He'll meet with Warburton on Monday to plot a way through this, whatever direction that may take him.

He said UK weapons are being used and Saudi assurances of compliance with humanitarian law are "not enough". UK sales to the Kingdom would halt if they are found to have breached international law. His comments have been welcomed by the charity Oxfam, which has urged the UK to halt arms exports while allegations of war crimes are investigated. Speaking to BBC Newsnight during a visit to Washington DC on Tuesday, Mr Hammond said he had raised the issue of air strikes with the Saudis in recent weeks. Saudi Arabia denies targeting civilians during its bombing campaign in Yemen, which began in March. "Obviously that denial alone is not enough," Mr Hammond said. "We need to see proper investigations. "We need to work with the Saudis to establish that international humanitarian law has been complied with - and we have an export licensing system that responds if we find that it has not. We will then find that we cannot license additional shipments of weapons." Josephine Hutton, Middle East programme manager at Oxfam, welcomed what she called a "change of heart from the government". She said: "The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is worsening by the day. Civilians are in the firing line, not only by weapons but also by the ever-tightening blockade which is strangling the country's essential services and its economy. Britain needs to put all its diplomatic weight behind the push for peace." The war in Yemen escalated in March, when a coalition led by Saudi Arabia entered the conflict on the side of the internationally recognised government to try to oust Houthi rebels from the capital Sana'a and other areas. All sides have been accused of targeting civilians. Oxfam, Amnesty International and other organisations have called on the UK and the US to suspend the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia while "damning evidence of war crimes" is investigated. In September, BBC Newsnight reported from the aftermath of an airstrike on a water bottling plant in Yemen in which 13 civilians were killed. A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition claimed the plant was a secret weapons factory. Saudi Arabia is Britain's biggest market for defence exports, worth $1.7bn (??1.1bn) last year, according to IHS's Global Defence Trade Report. Mr Hammond said the UK operated "one of the strictest export licensing regimes in the world". "We only export weapons systems where all the criteria of our export licensing system are met," he told Newsnight. David Cameron's government has championed the UN Arms Trade Treaty, which came into force in December and which prohibits states from exporting weapons that would be used for war crimes. In a letter to the Daily Telegraph last month, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the UK noted an "alarming change" in Britain's attitude towards his country, which he warned could lead to "serious consequences". Special reports from BBC Newsnight on the crisis in Yemen: Inside Yemen's forgotten war Yemen's forgotten war (part 1) Yemen's forgotten war (part 2) Daniel Kawczynski MP on Saudi arms sales Her son Robert Willis, actor Darren Day, EastEnders star Jessie Wallace and singer Peter Andre also settled claims, all against Mirror Group Newspapers. Their barrister David Sherborne said their privacy was "grossly violated" by the newspapers, "solely for profit". MGN counsel Matthew Nicklin QC offered "sincere apologies" on its behalf. The hacking was alleged to have taken place between 2000 and 2006. Mr Sherborne read out statements on behalf of Ms Black, her son and manager Mr Willis, Mr Andre, Mr Day and Ms Wallace as well as for a further five people whose settlements have previously been reported. They are the former head coach of the England football team, Sven-Goran Eriksson, actor Christopher Eccleston, David and Victoria Beckham's former nanny Abbie Gibson, actor Shane Richie's wife Christie Roche and his friend and agent Phil Dale. He said: "In summary, these 10 individuals all bring claims that cover unlawful activity by each of the three newspaper titles [the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and the Sunday People] over a lengthy period. "They have all expressed their feelings of distress and anger that their private information has been treated in this way, and their privacy has been so grossly violated by these newspapers solely for profit." Mr Nicklin said that MGN "accepts that the methods which were used to obtain private information about these 10 individuals through the unlawful accessing of their voicemails and the obtaining of their personal information should never have been employed" and that there was "no legitimate justification" for doing so. He added: "MGN is here today, through me, to offer its sincere apologies to these claimants for the damage and distress caused to them by hacking into their voicemail messages and by obtaining private information about them, including the use of blagging." Mr Nicklin said that MGN was paying "substantial sums by way of damages and their reasonable costs". No damages figures were announced as part of the statements read to the court. Other celebrities have previously taken action against MGN, which is a subsidiary of Trinity Mirror, and filed claims over alleged hacking. In September last year Trinity Mirror admitted for the first time that some of its journalists had been involved in phone hacking, and said it would pay compensation to four people. They were entertainer Shane Richie, soap actresses Shobna Gulati and Lucy Benjamin, and BBC creative director Alan Yentob. At the time the company was thought to have set aside between £8m and £9m to settle phone hacking claims and legal costs. Scores of people have also reached similar settlements with the publisher of the now-defunct News Of The World after taking legal action. Avril Whitfield, 57, from Caernarfon, has not been seen since leaving her home on 1 April. British International Rescue and Search Dogs are helping North Wales Police. Chief insp Richie Green said the force was "determined" to find her to bring "peace of mind to her family", with the investigation "open". Her sister Ann said: "It has been weeks since you went missing. We need you home with us. You are the rock of our family." The comments come after France were criticised for their approach in their win over Ireland, which saw Irish fly-half Johnny Sexton forced off. "There was a bit of 'afters' but you have to be careful we don't sanitise it too much or the game might turn to touch rugby," said Jones. France lock Yoann Maestri received a warning for a tackle on Sexton. Jones believes the sports' match officials are capable of policing the line between hard, but legal and dangerous play. "I'm sure the officials will keep an eye on that, but that's their job," said the Ospreys player. "What's in vogue at the moment (for offences) is no arms in the tackle, hands on the floor so there's always things that dip in and out of the game." Charteris challenge Jones will be partnered by Wasps lock Bradley Davies in the Welsh second row after a knee injury to Racing 92's Luke Charteris, the tallest player in the squad at 6ft 9in. "Obviously Charts is taller than the rest of us, but we try to stick with the policies we've had," said Jones. "It's like when someone goes off during a game, you don't want to change too much. "He's been pretty disruptive in the driving mauls, but we'll just have to go under, rather than over the top!" Jones is warning Wales will compete on the opposition line-out throw despite the loss of Charteris, whose place has gone to 6ft 6in Bradley Davies. "We had two decent steals (against Scotland) so there's probably a perception now that we will compete, teams have to make sure they can win the ball before they can drive so it's good we're putting that pressure on." Media playback is not supported on this device Page beat world number 78 John Astley on Wednesday, having already overcome world 123 Jason Weston in the first round of his debut professional event. "No English, most importantly, and no history," said the Ebbw Vale teenager. "I am doing GCSEs, but the school know this could be a career for me." Page has already won £3,500 and will play world number four Judd Trump next. It is great to miss some more school. No English, which is the most important thing, and no history "I remember watching Judd Trump when I was a kid, he was at Newport and played Ronnie O'Sullivan on one of the TV tables," Page told BBC Wales Sport. "I knew I could come here and get far and I looked at the draw and saw Judd and knew I could play him so my eyes were on that." Page, who attends Ebbw Fawr Learning Community in Blaenau Gwent, won £2,500 for reaching the second round and another £1,000 for progressing to the third. Another win to reach the last 16 would earn him £6,000. Page trailed Weston 3-1 in round one, but recovered to win a tense deciding frame. The youngster also held his nerve superbly to beat Astley with a break of 36 in the decisive frame. "I am over the moon with the win," Page said. "It is good to beat a player ranked so highly. But I just focus on potting the balls." Former world champion Terry Griffiths When I saw Jackson play, it reminded me of when I was 15 years of age and how I thought about playing. He just loves to be there. He takes on shots that other people turn down because he's excited at that age and to win two matches as he has done is exceptional. He's a tremendous potter, he's got no fear at all. Sign up to My Sport to follow snooker news and reports on the BBC app. Media playback is not supported on this device Steven Jackson, 40, and Michelle Higgins, 29, deny killing 37-year-old Kimberley MacKenzie in October 2015. They are accused of wrapping parts of Miss MacKenzie's body in bin liners and bags and hiding them in bins in various locations in Montrose. Her father, Terence MacKenzie, 66, gave evidence on the opening day of the trial at the High Court in Glasgow. He said he saw his daughter walking in Montrose High Street on 27 October and she had waved to him. Mr MacKenzie said he became concerned when his daughter did not contact him the following day, and reported her missing to police. The trial was told that Miss Mackenzie had been in a relationship with Mr Jackson which had ended in August 2015. Miss Mackenzie's friend Michelle Emslie said that Mr Jackson had then became involved in a relationship with his co-accused. The jury was told that a week after Ms Emslie last saw her friend, police came to her house and told her they were looking for Miss MacKenzie, who was missing. Ms Emslie said: "I went to Steve's house the next day. "I went up to his house and I was banging at the windows." "I noticed a smell coming from inside the building while I was standing outside the close." Ms Emslie described the smell as "rotten." The couple deny murdering Miss MacKenzie by repeatedly striking her on the head, neck and body with a hammer or similar instrument at a flat in Montrose on 27 October last year. They are also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by dismembering Miss MacKenzie's body using a saw, knives and a screwdriver and wrapping parts of her body in bin liners and bags and hiding them in bins. It is alleged that Miss MacKenzie's head and other body parts were in a rucksack and suitcase concealed in a shower cubicle at another Montrose property. The couple are also alleged to have disposed of clothing and footwear worn by Miss Mackenzie and washing their own clothing. The trial before judge Lady Rae continues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 18,000 people have been infected during the outbreak. Ebola is a serious infectious illness which often proves fatal. The virus, which is thought to have originated in fruit bats, was first detected in 1976 in an outbreak near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. People are infected when they have direct contact through broken skin, or the mouth and nose, with the blood, vomit, faeces or bodily fluids of someone with Ebola. The virus can be present in urine and semen too. Infection may also occur through direct contact with contaminated bedding, clothing and surfaces - but only through broken skin. It is still unclear how long the virus exists on surfaces but there is some evidence to suggest it can last up to six days. Bleach and chlorine can kill Ebola. The disease is not airborne, like flu. Very close direct contact with an infected person is required for the virus to be passed to another person. It can take up anything from two to 21 days for humans with the virus to show symptoms. People are not infectious until the symptoms develop. People are infectious as long as their blood and secretions contain the virus - in some cases, up to seven weeks after they recover. World Health Organization guidance on Ebola The early symptoms are a sudden fever, muscle pain, fatigue, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, a rash and bleeding - both internal and external - which can be seen in the gums, eyes, nose and in the stools. Patients tend to die from dehydration and multiple organ failure. There is no proven cure for Ebola. Severely ill patients need to be rehydrated quickly using intravenous fluids. They should be isolated from other people and given intensive care by medical experts. Potential vaccines are being tested. If the trials are successful they would be used to protect healthcare workers first. Experimental drugs such as ZMapp have also been used, but their effectiveness has not been proved. Blood products from survivors are also being tried as a potential therapy. The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) says this outbreak comes from the deadliest and most aggressive strain of the virus. It is not known which factors allow some people to recover while most succumb but experts say early treatment is key. Experimental treatments Ethics: Resolving the Ebola dilemma I caught Ebola in Guinea and survived Anyone in close contact with Ebola patients is at risk. Healthcare workers are using protective clothing such as full-body suits and goggles, but hundreds have still died. Family members of patients are also at risk. In West African funerals, it is traditional for mourners to have direct contact with the body of the dead person, washing and embracing them before burial. But the Ebola virus is still dangerous and present in the body after death. Prompt and safe burials are now being urged. MSF has been trying to make people aware of how their treatment of dead relatives might pose a risk to themselves. However, it is a very difficult message to get across. Avoid contact with Ebola patients and their bodily fluids, the WHO advises. Do not touch anything - such as shared towels - which could have become contaminated in a public place. Carers should wear gloves and protective equipment, such as masks, and wash their hands regularly. The WHO also warns against consuming raw bushmeat and any contact with infected bats or monkeys and apes. Fruit bats in particular are considered a delicacy in the area of Guinea where the outbreak started. In March, Liberia's health minister advised people to stop having sex, in addition to existing advice not to shake hands or kiss. The WHO says men can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to seven weeks after recovering from Ebola. How not to catch Ebola Profile: Dr Sheik Umar Khan Saving lives on the Ebola front line No handshakes, no sex Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in West Africa are the countries worst affected by this outbreak, which was identified as Ebola in March 2014. It started in Guinea, which has never before been affected, and quickly spread to urban areas. From Nzerekore, a remote area of south-eastern Guinea, the virus spread to the capital, Conakry, and neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone. Nigeria and Senegal have confirmed a small number of cases, and the US has had three confirmed cases. In October, a nurse in Spain became the first person to contract the virus outside of West Africa. Ebola deaths since 1976 The virus has taken hold in major urban areas this time, allowing it to spread more easily. The countries most severely affected by the disease have weak health systems. They are short of qualified doctors and nurses, and lack the appropriate equipment and resources to combat the virus. As a result, this is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was discovered. There have been more cases and deaths in this one than all other outbreaks combined. The bus, carrying schoolchildren aged five to 10, crashed at about 16:00 local time (21:00 GMT) on Monday. Photos from the scene showed the bus wrapped around a tree, with its metal roof split in two. "Speed is being investigated very very strongly as a factor in this crash," said Chattanooga police chief Fred Fletcher. He said it was a complicated crime scene, but conditions "appeared to be clear and dry". Investigators believe the bus may have hit a utility pole before colliding with the tree, the police chief added. The driver, who survived the crash, was being questioned and was co-operating with investigators, police said. A spokeswoman for the district attorney said five children were found dead on board the bus after the crash, and another child had died in hospital. She said 35 children had been on board the bus. Chattanooga Fire Department also said 23 children had been taken to hospital by ambulance. Local blood bank Blood Assurance called for blood donations following the crash. A reporter for the local news channel tweeted that queues to donate were "out the door" and the office was taking appointments for the following morning. The mayor of Chattanooga, Andy Berke, asked concerned parents to go to the elementary school for information, and not the crash site. "Please pray for the families of those affected by this horrible accident," he said in a tweet. The information came from a partner of the US which had not given the US permission to share it with Russia, says the Washington Post. It happened when Mr Trump met Sergei Lavrov in the Oval Office last week, says the paper. But a senior security official has said the report is not true. "This story is false," said Dina Powell, deputy national security adviser for strategy, who was in the meeting. "The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced." Mr Trump's National Security Advisor, Gen HR McMaster, also said the story was false. The Trump campaign's alleged links to Moscow have dogged his presidency, and are part of several investigations. But the president has dismissed it as "fake news". During the election campaign, Mr Trump repeatedly criticised his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, for how she handled sensitive material. Russia: The scandal Trump can't shake The fallout from this story could be enormous and not just because there is a boundless trove of Republican quotes over the past year - directed at Mrs Clinton - about the utmost importance of protecting top-secret information. There is the Russian connection, of course. The FBI is currently investigating the Trump campaign for possible ties to Russian interests. Meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak featured prominently in the firing of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recusal on Russian investigation matters. Then there is the question of whether US allies will be more reluctant to share sensitive intelligence information with the US, lest the president put sources at risk. This will only stoke accusations by Trump critics that the president is undisciplined and inexperienced in the delicacies of foreign policy, where his shoot-from-the hip style presents an ongoing danger. Finally, it is worth remembering the simmering feud Mr Trump has had with the US intelligence community. It took less than a week for this highly embarrassing story to leak. If the revelation was a knife twisted in the president's back, it is not hard to suspect where it came from. In a conversation with the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador, Sergei Kislyak, in the Oval Office, the president revealed details that could lead to the exposure of a source of information, officials told the Washington Post and the New York Times. The discussion was about an IS plot and the intelligence disclosed came from a US ally, information considered too sensitive to share with other US allies, the papers report. Others present realised the mistake and scrambled to "contain the damage" by informing the CIA and the National Security Agency, says the Post. The Senate's second-highest ranked Democrat, Dick Durbin, said Mr Trump's actions appeared to be "dangerous" and reckless". The Republican head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker, said the story was "very, very troubling" if true. In a statement delivered outside the White House, Mr McMaster said: "The president and the foreign minister reviewed common threats from terrorist organisations to include threats to aviation. "At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly." The Washington Post, which broke the story, said the McMaster statement did not amount to a denial of their story. Unison said that more than 100 youth centres have also closed and 360 jobs have been lost in that time. A conference organised by Unison on Friday will be told closures "are failing a generation of young people". The Welsh Local Government Association said councils were looking at new ways to keep services going. Welsh academics and youth workers are set to attend the conference, where Unison said they will "map out an alternative, positive vision for the sector". It will say that Welsh councils have been under pressure to make huge savings because of the spending cuts by the UK government. Cutting youth work funding deprives young people, particularly those from poorer backgrounds, of support which helps them build confidence, learn basic life skills and access education, employment and training, states the union. Seven youth centres have closed this year alone, it adds. Dominic MacAskill, Unison Cymru's head of local government, said: "At a crucial stage in their lives, young people desperately need the support well-qualified youth workers can provide. "By forcing through savage spending cuts which devastate our local public services, the UK Conservative government is guilty of writing off the livelihoods and potential of so many Welsh youngsters." Keith Towler, chairman of the Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services, and the former Children's Commissioner for Wales, stressed that youth centres "provide a safe place to meet friends, explore new experiences and allows young people to realise their full potential". In response, a WLGA spokesman said councils are facing budgetary pressures and are "increasingly seeking to work with partners" as well as looking at "alternative models of delivery". "Local authorities have faced significant cuts in funding during recent years and face a further £192m shortfall in the next financial year that will grow to £570m by the end of 2019-20," the spokesman said. "Local authorities take their youth services responsibility seriously but inevitably the youth service is subject to the same budgetary pressures cuts as every other aspect of local government provision." The UK government said the matter was a devolved one, while the Welsh government said it could not comment as Unison was criticising UK government cuts. More than half of all foundation trusts - which are given foundation status as a mark of excellence - are now in the red, Monitor's quarterly report warned. The report, which looked at 147 trusts between October and December last year, said the use of expensive agency staff was having a drastic impact on budgets. The Department of Health said it was increasing budgets by £2bn next year. The report found that 78 trusts (53%) were in deficit, of which 60 are acute trusts which manage hospitals in England. Many of the organisations were clearly struggling with their finances as a result of increased pressure on services, Monitor's quarterly report warned. The need to make cost savings was also putting trusts under "exceptional pressure", it added. The £321m deficit had risen from £254m in the previous quarter, while it was £167m in the three months prior to that, the report found. Trusts spent £419m more than planned on staff because of high use of contract and agency workers, while £810m worth of cost savings was £210m less than planned. Foundation trusts saw 2.7 million people in their A&E units between October and December last year; 8% more than the same period the year before, research showed. They also treated more than 2.3 million non-emergency patients in the quarter; an increase of 7% on the same period in 2013. The 149 foundation trusts, which make up nearly two-thirds of all NHS trusts, failed to meet national waiting-time targets for A&E, routine and cancer care for three successive quarters, Monitor said. Foundation trusts are awarded their title when they are considered well run enough to take on more independence from their local health authority. It means they have a significant amount of managerial and financial freedom compared with other NHS trusts. Monitor also said it had taken regulatory action against 28 foundation trusts - 19% of the sector - because of governance or financial concerns. Its chief executive, Dr David Bennett, said the NHS needed to "move rapidly towards more joined-up, efficient models of care" if it was to deal with the growth in demand for services. Responding to the report, health think tank The Health Foundation pointed out that the figures did not include the recent period of severe winter pressure. Adam Roberts, its senior economics fellow, said it was "extremely unlikely" that NHS acute hospitals in England would break even at the end of the financial year. A financial deficit was now "the norm for NHS providers", he said. A Department of Health spokesman said it expected the NHS as a whole to end the year in financial balance. "We know the NHS is busier than ever, which is why we're increasing the budget by an extra £2bn next year to back the NHS's long-term plan to move more care from hospital to home," he said. "All NHS organisations know that financial discipline must be as important as safe care and good performance." The body of Roy Blackman, 73, was found inside the property on Headcorn Road, Biddenden, at about 09:00 GMT on Monday. A post-mortem examination revealed he died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries. Kent Police said a 49-year-old man, from Maidstone, was detained on Wednesday. The force believes the break-in took place sometime between 01:00 and 03:00 on Monday. Several suspects, who had "targeted a vulnerable man", are being hunted, a spokesman said. Det Insp Lee Whitehead said: "Mr Blackman was beaten to death in his own home in what appears to be a violent burglary. "A safe is missing from the property and we are keen to locate it. "I believe that several suspects would have carried out this crime. They have targeted a vulnerable man in his own home leaving a trail of devastation in their wake." He described Mr Blackman as a "well-known and well liked member of the community", whose killing had left his family "distraught". Detectives are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area of Headcorn Road between Weeks Lane and Frittenden Road from 19:30 GMT on Sunday into the early hours of Monday. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Global Tiger Forum said 3,890 tigers had been counted in the latest global census. In 2010 there were just 3,200 tigers in the wild. In 1900, there were 100,000. While hopeful that the numbers indicate a population increase, experts cautioned it could also just indicate improved data gathering. "More important than the absolute numbers is the trend, and we're seeing the trend going in the right direction," said Ginette Hemley, senior vice-president of wildlife conservation at the WWF. WWF International's director general Marco Lambertini said the latest figures showed "that we can save species and their habitats when governments, local communities and conservationists work together". The census was released ahead of a meeting in Delhi this week of ministers from 13 countries where tigers live. The conference hopes to double the global tiger population by 2022. India alone has more than half the world's tigers, at 2,226 in the latest estimate. But there has been a rapid decline in Indonesia, where forests are being destroyed to feed global demand for palm oil, pulp and paper. Cambodia is considering reintroducing tigers after recently declaring them functionally extinct. As well as human encroachment on the animals' habitats, tigers are also killed by poachers hoping to sell their body parts, and locals concerned about their own safety. The town hall will be converted in the £3.1m project. The scheme has received support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Dumfries and Galloway Council. Once completed it is hoped the building could become the home to the Viking treasure unearthed in the region more than two years ago. Councillor Jane Maitland, whose ward includes the town, said it was an important day for the area which is proud of its history as an "artists' town". "Of course I feel amazingly excited and enthusiastic about it all happening," she said. However, she stressed that the major conversion works would take some time to complete. "This is the beginning of a major journey," she said. "It is going to take a year - I have to tell the public that we are going to have boards around the town hall. "But my goodness me what a fantastic facility it is going to be for the area." Edwin Poots has been given leave by the Court of Appeal to appeal its ruling that any ban on gay and lesbian couples adopting is unlawful. The Attorney General had his request for clarification on the issue refused. The case is now expected to go before the Supreme Court in London. The department of health's legal team can now petition the higher court directly to hear its case. In October last year, the ban based on relationship status was held to discriminate against those in civil partnerships and to breach their human rights. Previously, a single gay or lesbian person could adopt children in NI, but a couple in a civil partnership could not. After the Court of Appeal ruling, adoption agencies were told they were able to accept applications from same-sex and unmarried couples and those in civil partnerships. At the time, the Human Rights Commission (NIHRC) said the ruling would bring NI into line with the rest of the UK. Representatives of the Rainbow Project, Northern Ireland's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy organisation, expressed dismay that the department is now seeking to go to the Supreme Court over the issue. Rainbow Project director, John O'Doherty said they were disappointed with the minister's decision. "Both the High Court and the Court of Appeal have noted the practice of banning same-sex and unmarried couples from adopting is discriminatory," he said. "Enough public money has been spent on this fool's errand. The minister should focus his time on ensuring the best available homes for children in care in Northern Ireland." Site Intelligence, a US militant monitoring group, cites an AQAP statement as saying Ansi was killed in April in the port city of Mukalla. There is no US confirmation. Ansi had appeared in a number of AQAP videos. In one, he claimed the group was behind the attack on the Paris offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January, in which 12 people died. Site also said Ansi appeared in videos claiming AQAP was holding - and had then killed - the American journalist Luke Somers. Mr Somers, and South African teacher Pierre Korkie, were killed by al-Qaeda militants in Yemen last December. They died during a failed rescue bid by US and Yemeni special forces. Site said Ansi's eldest son and other fighters also died in the air strike in Mukalla. Al-Qaeda seized Mukalla, the capital of the eastern Hadramawt province, in early April, along with a large army base nearby. Dozens of Aqap members were freed from the city's prison. But within three days, most al Qaeda troops had been forced out of the port city by local tribesmen. In another video, Ansi called for Sunni Muslims to attack Houthi forces, who took over large parts of Yemen last September. A Saudi-led coalition has been taking part in air strikes against Houthis for the last six weeks. Last month, the US Secretary of Defence Ash Carter said Aqap were "making direct gains on the ground" in Yemen thanks to instability elsewhere in the country. All of those held are teenagers, officials said. Mr Henríquez, 33, was shot dead as he was leaving his home in the city of Nuevo Colón on Saturday. A 36-year-old man, Delano Wilson, was also killed. The motive for the killing is still unclear, but police say it appears to have been carefully planned. Officers said the gunmen had laid in wait at a home opposite that of Mr Henríquez. A 70-year-old woman and three teenage girls living at the home have been told not to leave the country while the investigations are under way. Local media first reported that Delano Wilson, the man who died alongside Mr Henríquez, was a friend of the footballer. But Mr Wilson's sister has since come forward to say her brother was just crossing the street on the way to buy a burger when he got caught in the crossfire. Another man, Josimar Gómez, was injured. Mr Henríquez, a midfielder, had played for the Panamanian national side as well as for Panamanian team Árabe Unido. Before that, he had played in Colombia for América de Cali and Real Cartagena. President Juan Carlos Varela condemned the murder on Twitter, saying that justice would be done. According to Panamanian police figures, the country had a homicide rate of 9.3 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016, which is below many other countries in the region. However, the province of Colón, where Mr Henríquez was killed, is known to be a hotspot for gangs. The Environment Agency is reviewing the use of equipment kept by lock-keepers' offices that could endanger non-trained staff in emergencies. Jonny Pleace, from the Thames River Users' Group, called the plans "absolutely ludicrous". The agency said it was reviewing their use but had not made a final decision. Lock keepers have access to the equipment, including ladders that have been in use for 40 years, in case people fall into the lock chamber. However, some staff had raised health and safety issues about the heavy ladders, the Environment Agency said. Donna Dowling, from the GMB union, which represents many of the lock keepers, said this was "absolutely, fundamentally, and categorically untrue". "Lock keepers are vehemently opposed to it and actually want the lock ladders to remain in place," she said. Mr Pleace said: "The Environment Agency through their wisdom and their health and safety audit, have decided the ladders are too heavy for people to lift, and the fire extinguishers are too dangerous to let off by the boats, so what they've decided is to do away with them. "These ladders have been there forever… I think common sense has to prevail." An Environment Agency spokesman said: "If a boat catches fire in a lock, our instruction to staff is to immediately call 999 and then provide assistance to get people away from the fire wherever it is safe to do so. "We do not provide any training or equipment for them to use to put out boat fires, as this is not a requirement of their role." He said other safety features were in place, including life rings, throw lines, egress steps, grab chains and pool hooks. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said 122,116 cars were built in April, an 18% fall compared with the same month last year. It said Easter, which fell in April this year compared with March in 2016, had cut the number of production days. However, the SMMT said the underlying picture remained "strong", with output up 1% for the year to date. The UK's industry body said 593,796 cars were made in the first four months of the year - the highest number for the period since 2000. Overseas buyers have helped to lift the market, with demand up 3.5%, which has helped to offset a 7% drop in demand from the UK. Figures released earlier this month from the SMMT also showed a sharp fall in car sales in April. However, the near-20% drop in new car registrations was blamed by the SMMT on consumers bringing forward purchases to March to avoid a rise in Vehicle Excise Duty. As well as the later Easter, the industry's output in April was also affected by strikes at three BMW plants in the UK in a row over pensions. Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: "Car production fell significantly in April due to the later Easter bank holiday weekend which reduced the number of active production days that month and also due to unplanned production adjustments. "Overall, British car manufacturing remains in good health with the production outlook still very positive and significant new models due to go into UK production shortly. "To guarantee future growth and investment into our industry and its vital supply chain, however, we need the next government to safeguard the conditions that have made us globally competitive, keeping us open and trading and delivering an ambitious industrial strategy for our sector." Burnell was at Sardis Road, initially as academy director and then as senior coach in 2003, before joining the Blues. The 49-year-old, who was capped by Wales A, has also coached London Welsh, Rotherham Titans and Wales Under-19s. He will also be director of rugby at Coleg y Cymoedd as well as Pontypridd head coach. The scheme, which will be administered by the GAA in conjunction with the GPA, will see a significant increase from the current annual 900,000 Euro grants. 1.6m Euro will be provided to players in 2017 which will rise to 2.3m in 2018 and 3m in 2019. Most players got grants in the region of 300 to 750 Euro in recent years. That figure sometimes increased to four figures for players involved in teams who progressed to the later stages of the championship. Outing GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell said the increased grants would enable GAA players to increase their "role model status". "This new arrangement will facilitate the development of an important programme between government and players in tackling some of the more intractable societal challenges in Ireland today," added Farrell. "Players look forward to taking an even more prominent role in making a meaningful difference, particularly, in the lives our young people across the country." Taoiseach Enda Kenny said the funding agreement provided "continued recognition for the contribution of gaelic inter-county players to the economic and social fabric of the nation". "Our inter-county players showcase the skill, excellence and commitment of our national games at home and abroad," added the Irish Prime Minister. "As well as promoting increased levels of physical activity, our Gaelic players can act as important role models in a number of other key policy areas at local and national level. "These include the promotion of mental health wellbeing, the fight against obesity and the prevention of alcohol and drugs misuse. "I look forward to the continued support of our inter-county footballers and hurlers in these and other areas and as role models which young people can emulate." Farrell helped negotiate the new deal in one of his final acts before stepping down from his GPA role. The 25-year-old, who had been with Reading since leaving Huddersfield in 2014, started all four of Northern Ireland's matches at Euro 2016 in June. The former Manchester United trainee joins on a three-year deal at Brighton. "He's a box-to-box midfielder and an excellent passer of the ball," manager Chris Hughton told the club website. "He has a good grounding, coming from Manchester United, and gives us extra options in midfield and adds further depth to our squad." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The EU was heading towards closer integration - a path the UK "will not and should not follow", the leader of the Commons wrote in the Telegraph. It is being seen as the first sign of a minister preparing to campaign to leave the EU in the UK's referendum. A government source said Downing Street was "very relaxed" about the article. David Cameron is to allow ministers to campaign for either side of the debate. However, cabinet ministers will only be able to start campaigning once a new deal has been reached by the prime minister with other EU leaders on the UK's terms of membership. BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg said Mr Grayling's article "will test the truce Number 10 had hoped would last until the negotiations with the rest of the EU were complete". "It's clear several other cabinet ministers, perhaps as many as seven, share Mr Grayling's view. Whether they are ready to follow him and go (almost) public is another matter," she added. Mr Grayling, the leader of the House of Commons and former justice secretary, stopped short of saying Britain should leave the EU in his Telegraph article - but it suggested he was ready to campaign for an exit if he is not satisfied with Mr Cameron's renegotiation deal. Mr Grayling's Labour shadow Chris Bryant said Mr Grayling was now "leader of the out campaign" but did not have the courage to call for Britain's exit because "he is desperate to keep his place in the cabinet". He told MPs Mr Grayling's Telegraph article was the "most mealy-mouthed, myth-peddling, facing-both-ways piece of pedestrian journalism that has ever come from his pen". The Labour MP said the EU referendum was not a "game" about the future of the leadership of the Conservative Party but about jobs and the UK's standing as a nation. "He says it is disastrous for us to stay in. I think it will be disastrous for us to leave," he told MPs. Pete Wishart, the SNP's Commons leader, also mocked Mr Grayling as the "leader of the Eurosceptics and putative leader of the Britain out campaign". Mr Cameron's four key negotiating objectives cover economic governance, competitiveness, immigration and sovereignty. A referendum must be held before the end of 2017 but Mr Cameron is expected to hold it this year, if he can secure a deal on his reform demands. Jonathan Faull, who is leading the European Commission's negotiations with the UK, said there was a "good prospect" Mr Cameron would get a deal at the next European Council meeting in February. He told European Parliament members negotiations had been "difficult" and the Commission would not accept anything that threatened the "four freedoms" - including freedom of movement - the EU was founded on. On a visit to the Turkish capital Ankara, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the UK and EU leaders were "getting closer" to reaching a deal on the sticking point of curbs to European migrants' benefits, but added "we are not there yet". He said the UK was trying to "come up with a satisfactory proposal" on welfare, adding that there was "broad agreement" on the other three areas identified by the PM for reform. Timeline: What will happen when? Guide: All you need to know the referendum Explained: What does Britain want from Europe? Analysis: Cameron tries to avert slanging match More: BBC News EU referendum special In his article, Mr Grayling said the UK was at "a crucial crossroads" and "cannot be left in a position where we have no ability to defend our national interest" within the EU. "I am someone who believes that simply staying in the EU with our current terms of membership unchanged would be disastrous for Britain," he added. "That's why I have always believed that it is imperative that (Mr Cameron's) renegotiation takes place and delivers as much potential change as possible. "It is in the interests of all Eurosceptics and of our country," he added. Analysis, by BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins Westminster is not reeling at the shock revelation Chris Grayling is a Eurosceptic. It was hardly a secret. But his declaration in print still matters. It proves cabinet ministers can start a good row, even when they're supposed to be agreeing. Just listen to the former minister Damian Green accuse him of "peddling myths". It all but confirms that there will be at least one cabinet member campaigning to leave the EU. But it's hardly a disaster for Number 10. Some senior Eurosceptics felt only pro-EU cabinet voices were being heard, and blamed bias in Downing Street. For them, this piece will help correct the balance. What really matters though is what happens next. When are better-known political beasts - Theresa May and Boris Johnson - forced to show their hand? And will a bitter row between Tory tribes begin rather sooner than the PM expected? Mr Cameron hopes to secure a new deal for the UK in Brussels next month. A number of cabinet ministers are thought to favour an out vote in a referendum, with Mr Cameron expected to campaign for the UK to remain in the EU. Another minister who is seen as a Eurosceptic, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers, told the BBC she "really supports" the PM's renegotiation efforts. Mr Cameron has said he rules nothing out if he does not get what he wants from the talks. However, former Foreign Secretary Lord Hague said he believed it was unlikely Mr Cameron would recommend a vote to sever ties with Brussels. Bethan Rhys Roberts hosts Ask the Leader on BBC One Wales at 19:00 BST on Monday. Andrew Robert Tudor Davies relishes his larger-than-life reputation, and once described himself as "19 stone of prime Welsh beef". When elected Welsh Tory leader in 2011, he was thought of as being on the right of the party and perhaps a little sceptical of devolution. However, time and again he has supported more powers for the assembly, seeking the ability to cut taxes to attract business to Wales. Mr Davies has also gone against many within his own party, most recently in a rift with the prime minister over the referendum on Europe. While David Cameron campaigns to remain in the European Union, the Welsh Tory leader is backing Brexit. He is also more liberal on some matters than other Tories, such as his support for gay marriage.

But he said it would still take up to two years to pay off other debts worth around £88m. Monmouth MP David Davies welcomed the news, in a letter from Mr Goodwill, but noted he had not said tolls would fall. Current toll charges range from £6.40 for cars to £19.20 for lorries, 20% of which is made up of VAT. In the letter to Mr Davies, who also chairs the Welsh Affairs Committee at Westminster, Mr Goodwill said: "Once in public ownership VAT will no longer be payable on the tolls. "Under the Severn Bridges Act 1992 it would be possible to reduce tolls to reflect the fact that VAT was no longer payable." Mr Davies said the letter followed a meeting with the minister last month, also attended by other MPs on the committee. "All of us would like to see action taken to reduce the tolls," he said. "Unfortunately, the minister has not said whether the tolls would fall and that is the issue I would like to pin down the government on." The MP said the committee has estimated ongoing maintenances costs for the bridges would be around a third of the current toll price and nobody had contradicted that. "I therefore think we must now demand a clear plan for the post concession period with a significant reduction in the tolls," he said. MPs are debating the future of the bridge tolls in a debate at Westminster Hall on Wednesday. Last month there were cross-party calls for the charges to be cut drastically from 2018. The Welsh government has called for control of the bridges to be devolved. Reclining on a sofa, fashionable flat-peak cap, designer sunglasses, white shorts. As if he did not have a care in the world. If the tension of one of the most important races of his career was getting to him, Hamilton was hiding it well. Apart from his Mercedes team shirt, he looked like a film star relaxing on a beach. And he was certainly not acting like a man who by the end of the weekend will be facing one extreme of emotions or another. Hamilton, like his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, will leave Abu Dhabi either on top of the world or in the pits of despair. By Sunday evening, one of them will be world champion, riding a wave of confidence into the close season; the other a beaten man who must spend the winter building himself back up to do it all over again next year. Media playback is not supported on this device Whether by design or not, both Hamilton and Rosberg have generally projected an air of composure and calm so far at the Yas Marina circuit - smiling and matter of fact in their many media interviews on Thursday, walking about the paddock with typically quick, directed intent during the first practice day on Friday. The mask has slipped just once, just enough to lay bare the pressure that has been building up through this hyper-intense season. In the official news conference on Thursday, a provocative question to Hamilton brought a reply in kind - and an even spikier rejoinder from Rosberg. Two controversial incidents have proved turning points in one way or another this season - in Monaco, where Rosberg ran wide on his final qualifying lap and prevented Hamilton from having a chance to beat him to pole; and in Belgium, where the two collided. For both, Hamilton feels Rosberg was guilty of gamesmanship, to put it politely. Media playback is not supported on this device And when he was asked whether they needed to talk before the race to ensure there was no 'argy-bargy' here in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton said: "We don't need to. It's already been discussed at the beginning of the season and several times through the season and particularly after Spa. "So there's no reason to revisit it. We're not children; we should know what is wrong and what is right." Rosberg, for his part, has all season smarted over various incidents in which he feels Hamilton has wronged him - particularly in chopping across his nose to prevent himself being passed in Bahrain and in not acceding to a request to let Rosberg pass him in Hungary, when they were on different strategies. Do you have anything to add, Rosberg was asked? "Just that, yes, Lewis can do something to keep it clean, which is drive cleanly himself," he said. Sitting in the row in front, McLaren driver Jenson Button widened his eyes and smiled at that. It was not hard to work out where he stands on the incidents in question. This, it is clear, is not "just another race", as the two Mercedes drivers have been at pains to paint it in the run-up. But there is a reason for their feigned nonchalance. "You need to go through the processes, as boring as it sounds," says former F1 driver Mark Webber, who has his own experience of an Abu Dhabi title decider. "You need to get through your Friday session, get to qualifying and have a clean grand prix. "In 2010, I was running lots of scenarios through my head, which I believe Nico and Lewis will be as well. "There is the double points in the background. Lewis can sit in second place. He will have rolled that through his head many, many times: 'Will it be enough just to sit there and close the championship out?' "I found myself going through those scenarios more than you would do in any other race because you know this race when the flag drops there is going to be a championship decided." Webber's experience of a title decider came in 2010, with his own team-mate Sebastian Vettel and two other drivers, Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. "The tension inside the whole team starts to build up to a point it has never been to in the year," said the Australian, in an interview for a film to be shown in the BBC One coverage this weekend. "All the engineers and mechanics are focusing on their job like they never have done in their lives. They can see the rivalry between the drivers get to this pivotal point." The fear for everyone at Mercedes, bar Rosberg, is that a mechanical problem of some kind will hit Hamilton and prove decisive in the championship. Team boss Toto Wolff has already described this as a "nightmare" scenario, not least because Hamilton has already had more car failures this year than Rosberg, to the extent that three times he has had to come back from about a victory's worth of points deficit. Media playback is not supported on this device The advantage between the two has ebbed and flowed through the season, heightened by each man's frustration at the other's behaviour, and the battle has tested the relationship of these two former friends to its limit. "Those two guys are learning more about themselves," Webber says. "How it has ebbed and flowed, the dynamics between the pair of them and how they're dealing with each other under extreme pressure; you only learn that stuff when the kitchen is absolutely boiling and that has absolutely been the case this year. "The relationship will probably never be the same again. In twenty years, over a glass of red, maybe, but at the moment it is personal and they both want to win the world title." Hamilton is the man in the best position to achieve that goal. Double points will be awarded controversially here but even so, with a 17-point lead, Hamilton needs only to finish second to be sure of the title even if Rosberg wins the race. With the best car in the business by far, that should be eminently do-able, reliability permitting. But that's not the only reason to suspect that the most likely outcome is Hamilton doing what he says he has set out to do, and taking the title in style with a victory. Hamilton was in better shape on Friday, both on single-lap pace and in race trim, but he was again beaten to pole position by Rosberg - and by the substantial margin of 0.386secs. But plenty of times this season Hamilton has proved capable of beating Rosberg after qualifying behind him and this time he does not even need to. It would be out of character for Hamilton not to try if he sees the opportunity but he has already hinted he may just sit behind his team-mate, saying in his BBC Sport column this week: "I am certainly not going to take any stupid risks, because I don't need to." "Lewis has been on fire around Abu Dhabi in previous years," Webber said. "I've seen him do things around there… He's destroyed the field in many seasons in a car that has been pretty mediocre to be honest. Media playback is not supported on this device "So Nico's going to have his work cut out because Lewis is phenomenally quick around Abu Dhabi." Rosberg arrives in Abu Dhabi fresh from a convincing weekend in Brazil, in which he topped every session and won the race, halting a run of four consecutive successes by Hamilton. "Nico has proved this year many times he has what it takes to be a world champion," Webber says. "Brazil was a pivotal weekend. Lewis had many victories leading up to it. Brazil is not an easy track to nail. it had a resurfaced circuit, they had to get on top of things really quickly. Nico dealt with that race extremely well. "But Lewis has the upper hand, of course he does. He has the points on the table." "They've both done super jobs," said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, "but if Lewis doesn't win it after winning 10 grands prix you'd have to say there is something wrong. He deserves it. But a puncture, these power-units are coming to the end of their lives, anything can happen." Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coverage details Full qualifying results A Ryan Allsop own goal plus strikes from John Marquis and Alfie May had Rovers in front on three occasions - only for Sean Longstaff, Oliver Turton and Callum Cooke to peg them back. Doncaster took the lead after 37 minutes when Tommy Rowe's fine strike rattled back off the crossbar and ricocheted in off goalkeeper Allsop and into the goal. But within a minute the visitors were level when Longstaff smashed in an unstoppable shot from 30 yards. Marquis put Rovers back in front in first-half stoppage time when he hooked in a volley from close range. After a tight start to the second half, Blackpool equalised with 65 minutes gone as a stunning curling effort from Turton shocked the home side. The Seasiders were on top after levelling but fell behind again when May nipped in to slot past Allsop after 75 minutes. Blackpool were not behind for long as substitute Cooke finished off a fine passing move two minutes later. Match report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Doncaster Rovers 3, Blackpool 3.

The dispute centres on Cupar postman David Mitchell, who was sacked after being accused of stealing mail. Mr Mitchell has not yet been given his job back despite winning his unfair dismissal case at an industrial tribunal in September. Members of the CWU union at Cupar sorting office started a 24-hour strike at 08:30 on Saturday. A spokesman for Royal Mail said it had "robust contingency plans in place" and would continue to deliver to all of its customers in Cupar despite the strike going ahead. The industrial tribunal had concluded that there was insufficient evidence that Mr Mitchell had stolen money and gift cards from his delivery round, and said he should be given his job back. Royal Mail has challenged the ruling. Stuart McIntosh of the CWU said staff at the sorting office were "angry and disappointed" at Royal Mail's treatment of Mr Mitchell, and had voted "almost unanimously" for industrial action. He called on Royal Mail to abide by the tribunal's ruling, and said there were plans to take further industrial action if necessary. John Davies, 94, died earlier this month after spending his final years at a care home in Gorleston, Norfolk. He served in World War Two, in North America and India, but only a few people had been expected to attend his burial until the social media appeal. Mick Smith, who backed the Facebook plea, said it was a "fitting funeral". Mr Smith, from Newmarket, Suffolk, spotted a message on a serviceman's forum post and then shared it with all his friends as he felt it was "sad" the funeral would be so poorly attended. Mr Davies was born and bred in Burgh Castle, near Great Yarmouth, and left school at 14 to work on a poultry farm for seven shillings a week. He was a hotel chef in London before and after World War Two, and later a maintenance engineer at The Star Hotel in Great Yarmouth until his retirement. He continued to work into his mid-80s, running a market stall selling CDs in aid of the Caister Lifeboat. "I saw a posting on social media and it didn't seem to be getting a lot of attention, so I pushed it out to everyone I knew," said Mr Smith. "Such a big character - he must have known so many people - he did charity work and in his time everyone would have known him, but they forget because he goes into a home. "It's a fitting funeral for a war hero - someone who built this country." Mr Davies had two brothers and two sisters, who all died before him, and never married after missing his planned wartime wedding due to an overseas posting. His hearse was escorted from Great Yarmouth by a group of bikers, including Mr Smith, to Gorleston's Magdalen Lawn cemetery. Standard bearers led the procession into the graveyard, before the Reverend Albert Cadmore took the short graveside service. "It is good that while he outlived his family, so many have come here today to pay tribute to him," said Mr Cadmore. Friend Beryl Baker, who lived with him at The Gables care home, said: "He was a lovely man and a good friend and I miss him very much. "It was nice to see all these people come and say goodbye."

Helsinki lead Finland's Veikkausliga with one loss in 16 games and scored 18 goals in their last five wins. But after Woolfe's cross-shot put Nomads ahead just before half-time, Helsinki could find no way through against a fine defensive effort. The Welsh side take their slender lead into the return leg on Thursday 6 July. The winners will face Moldovan side Dacia Chisinau or Shkëndija of Macedonia in the second qualifying round. Connah's Quay Nomads manager Andy Morrison told BBC Wales Sport: "It's a staggering performance and result, I am immensely proud of the lads. "It's a fantastic night for Connah's Quay and Welsh football. "I said before the game we had to respect this team. They have won six out of six and scored 20 goals and only conceded one goal, so they were flying in their league. "A lot of their players were being watched by European clubs. That team have aspirations of getting to the Europa League [group stage]. "But we don't fear anyone and that's the identity of this club. "When they walked off the pitch our lads had earned their respect... they were doing cartwheels in Uefa headquarters when they drew us, because we were probably the lowest ranked team in there." "They have had a wake-up call and it's going to be a hell of a game at their place. "It's going to be a massive ask but our lads have shown enough tonight and there is enough fight to go over there with no fear. "It's half-time. The preparation will be better this week looking at the game but we have also lost the element of surprise with the opposition. "It adds pressure on them though because they know if they lose that game it's an horrendous result for them with the history they have had in European football. "They have dominated Finnish football for two or three decades and are in Champions League or Europa League every year, so they are under pressure. "We will create problems and score a goal. We need to because you can't keep a team like that out for 180 minutes. "We showed last year we can get a goal away from home because we are very good in the final third with our set plays." Michael Macdonald, 30, fell in South Uist as he walked home from a friend's house at 02:00 on 27 November 2011. He is now seeking £20,000 damages from Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The local authority is contesting the action. Mr Macdonald, who at the time worked as a chef at the Lochboisdale Hotel on the island, said it was so dark on the night the accident happened that "if you put your hand up in front of your face you couldn't see it." He said he had gone to visit a friend after work, and was walking home when he realised he had left his keys at his friend's house. As he turned around, he caught the edge of a kerb and fell. Mr Macdonald said he was left hanging onto the lamp post after the accident before people came to help him, as he couldn't stand. Mr Macdonald, who now lives in Bornish, also on South Uist, said he had been expecting the street lights to be on. He had been living in Lochboisdale for about two years at the time of the accident, and claimed that normally the lights would stay on all night. He said there were no signs informing people that the lights were going off, and explained that had he known they were, he would have taken a torch. Mr Macdonald said he was "very sure" that the accident would not have happened had the lights been on. He said he still suffers stiffness and swelling following the fracture to his ankle. The counsel said the court may hear evidence that the council had taken the decision to save money by switching the lights off, despite the fact that the council knew "or ought to have known" that Lochboisdale had a population of about 300 residents. The court heard that staff and customers at the hotel might use the street in question after midnight, and also that the Barra ferry occasionally came in after that time. The judge hearing the action, Lord Matthews, was told that damages had been agreed at £20,000 if liability was established. Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar is contesting the case, which continues. Media playback is not supported on this device Murphy, who played under McCall for two years at Motherwell, could win his first cap against Denmark on Tuesday. Several wide attackers block his path to a berth in Gordon Strachan's squad. "If you're playing better than the other guy, regardless of how many caps he's got, you're fresh and taking on board the way we want to play, the door's open definitely," said McCall. "I think there's an opportunity - if you go in there and make an impression with Gordon, be it in training or round the place and in games." McCall believes the 26-year-old Brighton winger can make an impact, particularly if he does not allow his naturally unassuming personality prevent him playing a significant role in the team. Murphy will compete with the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Ikechi Anya, Shaun Maloney, Matt Ritchie, Steven Naismith and Matt Phillips for game-time. "Certainly in training he was fantastic," continued McCall. "The thing with Jamie - he sometimes doesn't believe in himself. He's got all the ability, old snake-hips. "He's a quiet lad. You try to get him to demand the ball from senior pros like Scott Brown or Shaun Maloney and the more training went on, the more he was doing it. "That's what you want. When you meet up you don't want people to be in the their shell." Murphy has scored six goals in helping Brighton to challenge for automatic promotion to the English Premier League and McCall feels the route he has taken has helped his progression as a player. "The improvement I've seen in Jamie - I think it was good he went to Sheffield United, I think that was a good stepping block but he's then got another move," added the coach. "I think sometimes boys coming from Scotland down to England - can you go to a club where you're going to play regularly? Jamie's done it well and who's to say he can't go higher? "With the progress he's making, I speak to people who see Brighton a lot and Jamie's been doing well and I'm really pleased with what he's done over the last couple of days. "And he should be confident. He's playing at a top level, for a good side who are aiming to get into the Premier League." Murphy himself is confident in his own ability to impress, despite a modesty that can be mistaken for nervousness. "I'm enjoying it while I'm here," he said. "I'm trying to do the best I can and try and prove to everyone I deserve to be here and hopefully I'll be involved on Tuesday. "The manager obviously thinks we deserve to be here so it's up to us to prove him right. "I've been doing well [at Brighton]. It's a tough league but I've managed to score some goals and I've played most of the games as well. We've got a good chance of getting promoted so we've got a big end to the season coming up. "I've scored a few goals in the last couple of months so the manager's obviously taken note and brought me in so it's up to me to keep trying to score goals and play well." Hendrie joined the Hammers from Hamilton for an undisclosed fee in July 2015, having made 117 appearances for the Scottish club. The 21-year-old, who has won three caps for Scotland's under-21 squad, has yet to feature for West Ham's senior team. Hendrie could make his debut for the Shrimpers when they visit Peterborough United on Saturday. "I spoke to his former manager, Alex Neil, to ask about the type character we're bringing in," manager Phil Brown told the club website. "He says he's a solid character, reliable, got bags of energy and probably his biggest asset will be his legs, as he can run all day. "He brings a lovely left foot to the party, as Ben Coker does, so he's got a great opportunity to get his career going in England at Southend United."

The character, wielding a green flag emblazoned with Arabic writing, was pitted against a Union Flag-bearing opponent during the Superslam show at Butlin's in Skegness. The holiday camp has apologised after a guest complained that the event was in poor taste. The show's promoters said they had made a "clear error of judgement". Father-of-two Christian Cerisola, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, complained after attending the bout with his children on Saturday. Mr Cerisola described the show as "an horrific race hate-filled 10 minutes with everything wrong on racial stereotypes". He said: "I felt I was dropped into the middle of a Britain First rally. "Out came 'Hakim', an Islamic flag-waving baddie, and then came Union flag trunk-wearing Tony Spitfire, chanting 'En-Ger-land' over and over. "It was the fact we were encouraged to cheer the Englishman with his jingoistic name, Tony Spitfire, and boo a very stereotypical style of Muslim. "In my mind we were led to believe Hakim was the Muslim against the good English guy." A spokesman for Butlin's said it was "very concerned" to receive the complaint and an investigation had been launched. "We thank the guest for bringing this to our attention," he said. "We have since spoken to him to assure him this is a matter we are investigating and to apologise for the distress caused. "We would like to assure guests that this was a very unfortunate one-off which we find completely unacceptable, and is totally contrary to Butlin's values. It will not happen again." Brian Dixon, managing director of All-Star Wrestling, said: "Saturday's wrestling show was different to the agreed content, and Butlin's were not made aware of the change. "We regret this clear error of judgment, as well as the obvious offence and upset caused. "We wish to apologise to Butlin's and their guests, and stress that this will not happen again."

But Algeria grabbed an equaliser in the second half as Islam Slimani converted from Yacine Brahimi's free-kick. Russia could not score a winning goal as Algeria held on to secure a tie with Germany in the second round on Monday. However, the north Africans' equaliser was a controversial one as television pictures showed a laser from the crowd had been shone in the face of Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev moments before the goal. Nevertheless, the CSKA Moscow custodian will be unhappy with the concession as he came off his line to try to intercept Brahimi's delivery but failed to get there ahead of Slimani. The goalkeeper had also made a costly error in his side's opening 1-1 draw with South Korea as he let a shot from Lee Keun-Ho slip through his fingers and into the net. "Russia were shocking at the last Euros, and they never seem to improve. Everyone thinks that they'll do well, because the Russian League looks quite strong. But they don't have any width or clever players. "They've no one who can beat anyone. They've never had a number nine and they're clueless going forward. There's nothing to them." Those dropped points proved decisive as Algeria, who failed to advance past the first phase in 1982, 1986 and 2010, joined Group H winners Belgium in the next round. Capello had guided England into the last 16 in South Africa but his Russia side failed to win any of their three group games in Brazil. They only found the net twice and did not have the cutting edge to score another against the Algerians, despite piling on the pressure in the closing stages. The Russians - who will host the 2018 finals - knew a victory would put them through to the last 16 and they made a perfect start as they took the lead in the sixth minute. Viktor Fayzulin released Kombarov and his cross was met by Kokorin, who powered a header from 12 yards past goalkeeper Rais M'bolhi. Algeria fought their way back into the game, but Akinfeev saved weak efforts from Djamel Mesbah and Brahimi and was also well placed to block Slimani's powerful header from eight yards. Russia almost doubled their lead three minutes into the second half, but Aleksandr Samedov was denied by M'bolhi after linking up with Kokorin. But Slimani, who scored in Algeria's 4-2 victory against South Korea on Sunday, equalised on the hour with what turned out to be the most important goal in their history. Russia pushed forward in a desperate attempt to get the goal that would have taken them into the last 16 for the first time since the break-up of the old Soviet Union. Their best chance fell to Aleksandr Kerzhakov, but his low attempt was saved by M'bolhi as Algeria held on for a historic result. Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic said: "Algeria played a heroic match and our qualification is perfectly deserved. "During the first half Russia used their experience, my players were a bit naive." Russia coach Fabio Capello said: "Our goalkeeper was affected by a laser 10 seconds before the goal. He was blinded by a laser, there are photos, films of it. I'm not looking for excuses. I accept defeats." Asked whether he would stay in charge of the Russian side, Capello replied: "If they still want me, yes." Match ends, Algeria 1, Russia 1. Second Half ends, Algeria 1, Russia 1.

Of the 62 centuries he has compiled so far in first-class and one-day cricket, it would probably mean most to the Warwickshire captain if just one of them had been in a Test at Edgbaston. But, in 55 matches, he is still to make one in Twenty20 cricket too. "To get a T20 ton is one of my ambitions, absolutely," said Bell, ahead of Friday's Birmingham Bears T20 Blast home game against Durham. In eight attempts for England, prior to his retirement from all international limited-over cricket last summer, his best knock was an unbeaten 60 against New Zealand at Old Trafford in 2008. But, of his six T20 half-centuries for the Bears, the most recent was on Friday in the home defeat by Worcestershire - and the two best have both been against Durham. Warwickshire lost their most recent meeting with Durham - the north-east side's four-wicket win against the Bears at Edgbaston last week. But Bell enjoys T20 meetings with them. In his only two T20 meetings with Durham, he made 85 in 47 balls in a Warwickshire home defeat at Edgbaston in 2010, bettering that with a match-winning 90 from 65 balls in last summer's Bears' win at Chester-le-Street. It was an innings that stood for all of 27 days as the best by a Bears batsman until Brendon McCullum smashed 158 not out off 64 balls against Derbyshire at Edgbaston last July, the highest-ever domestic T20 score. "I enjoyed that 90 up at the Riverside," said Bell. "It was nice to have the top T20 score for the Bears, at least for a little while before Brendon came in and showed why he is the world's best T20 player. "That's still the only T20 hundred for us and it would be great for one of the homegrown guys, who have come through the system here at Edgbaston, to get a ton. I'm sure it's only a matter of time." After being outshone by 92 from fellow opener Sam Hain in the Bears' opening six-wicket T20 Blast win over Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, Bell hit an attractive 66 against Worcestershire at Edgbaston last Friday. But, despite hitting five four and two sixes in his 57-ball knock, Bell's Bears were beaten in the final over by their local rivals. And, with Chris Woakes back from England Test duty, they will now look to make amends against a Durham side who rallied from their opening night Tom Kohler-Cadmore-inspired battering at Worcester to beat T20 champions Lancashire a week later. "Of course it was disappointing to lose," said 34-year-old Bell, who remains hopeful of a Test recall before the end of the summer. "But one game doesn't change a lot. There were some good points and the experience the young guys picked up will be invaluable. "Worcestershire are a good side. They bat very deep and are one of the strongest sides in the group. Fair play to them for the way we played against us but we will come back hard against Durham." Music producer Raymond Stevenson, physically abused during his time at the Shirley Oaks home in the 70s, met a childhood friend last year who revealed he'd been raped at the institution. Within a few months, the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association (SOSA) was hundreds strong. "At the very first meeting I can remember there was lots of hugging lots of crying - it was really we are together now, they can't harm us again," Stevenson recalls. "No lies can penetrate our lives because we feel we were going to reveal the truth." The south London production office, from where Stevenson promoted music stars like Jessie J, now looks more like a police incident room. A map on the wall includes details of allegations from hundreds of former residents, suggesting physical, sexual and emotional abuse was routine at many of the houses on the 72-acre Shirley Oaks site. "We have been in contact with over 300 people and the stories we are getting are just horrific," Stevenson says. "Every time we interview someone and hear about what happened to them, it brings tears to our eyes. Reliving some of the horrors they went through again hasn't been easy." There have been two major police investigations into abuse at children's homes in South London and three people including a swimming instructor, William Hook, have been convicted of offences relating to Shirley Oaks. Another operation is currently on-going, but SOSA have lost faith in the authorities who they claim have covered-up the true scale of abuse at Shirley Oaks. "We don't trust them and that's why we have decided to do this campaign ourselves," Stevenson explains. The Shirley Oaks campaigners are part of a wider phenomenon - a "survivor" activism that is changing the balance of power in relation to child abuse. Where once victims were ignored or silenced, now they are coming together, often through social media, forming support groups and building a crescendo of noise that the authorities are forced to acknowledge. A couple of weeks ago, dozens of former Shirley Oaks residents crowded into a Lambeth council meeting - the authority which ran the home until its closure in the mid-1980s. Councillor after councillor spoke of their shame at what had been allowed to happen to children in their care. "I feel angry, genuinely appalled and truly sad to be the leader of a council, Lambeth Council, that in the past enabled such terrible acts of abuse, against some of our young people", council leader Lib Peck told the meeting as victims in the public gallery clapped. Among them was the award-winning author Alex Wheatle who has written about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child at Shirley Oaks. "We have not come here, to go to war with the council, we have come here to gain your support," Wheatle told the meeting. Afterwards he reflected on how far the campaign had come. "It was so strengthening to see my brothers and sisters who I grew up with, one by one, presenting their case, presenting their stories," he said. "You know, I've got such a love for them right now I just want to hug everyone right now ... how brave are they?" The Shirley Oaks association is doing more than compiling evidence. It is using music to press its case. A song entitled "Don't Touch It - It's Mine" includes personal testimony from victims. "I was abused mentally, physically emotionally and violently," the track begins. "Of the original 16 of us, 12 have killed themselves," another haunting voice relates as a video shows child actors playing around what were the Shirley Oaks buildings. "We not going to be told lies anymore," Stevenson explains. "We are not going to leave it in the hands of lawyers, politicians or council officials to tell us what happened to us. We want to discover it ourselves and we know music and dance and poetry are ways that can tell a greater story." The Shirley Oaks Survivors Association is considering whether to give its dossier of evidence to the independent Goddard inquiry but they do believe, whatever happens, the tables have turned. "There was a bond between us and that has come to haunt these people, those who done it," Raymond Stevenson says. "It is the unity of the Shirley Oaks 'massive' as we call ourselves, and the other children's homes coming together, that has built this power base and we are unstoppable." Crazy, strange and unsteady are a few of the adjectives used as pundits try to work out what a Trump foreign policy might look like, though one Israeli newspaper seems reassured. Several German commentators admit to being flummoxed by the speech. "It's not very easy to follow him," writes Der Spiegel's Washington correspondent, Veit Medick. The candidate's comments can "hardly be called a coherent plan", he adds. Die Welt's Clemens Wergin sees Mr Trump as a security risk, saying his speech confirmed many experts' view that "we are dealing with an unsteady character". France's business daily Les Echos asks whether the speech is "a return to isolationism", reporting that Mr Trump wants to point the US in "a less interventionist direction". The speech also makes the front page of the Spanish daily, El Pais. Washington correspondent Marc Bassets says Mr Trump's foreign policy doctrine could be summed up as a mix of "isolationism, realpolitik and militarism". Two heavyweight US papers are unimpressed with the speech, with The New York Times headlining its scathing editorial: "Donald Trump's Strange World View." It argues that he "did not exhibit much grasp of the complexity of the world, understanding of the balance or exercise of power, or even a careful reading of history." In the Washington Post, Dana Milbank writes about "Trump's crazy attempt not to sound crazy". "Trump did not offer more detail on how he would 'bring peace to the world,' but he gave strongman promises that everything would be fine", he laments. "Perhaps the most unnerving promise Trump made was his determination to be erratic", he continues. "On this vow, Trump has already made good - and that's just the problem." Nahum Barnea, writing in Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth, says Mr Trump "took his foreign policy inspiration from the Westerns" and calls it "cowboy diplomacy". Boaz Bismuth has a different view in Yisrael Hayom, calling the speech "firm, focused". "Trump wants a decent, strong, loyal America, but he is also not a sucker. And he sees in Israel the most loyal ally of the United States," he writes. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Would You Still Love Me If... tells the story of a lesbian couple with a baby on the way, one of whom is considering gender reassignment surgery. Turner, famous for her roles in Peggy Sue Got Married and Prizzi's Honor, plays the mother to one of the women. The Oscar-nominee previously starred as Charles Bing, Chandler's cross-dressing father, in the sitcom Friends. Would You Still Love Me If... was written by John S Anastasi and co-stars Rebecca Brooksher and Sofia Jean. Grammy nominated singer Deborah Cox also appears in the role of a doctor. Anastasi, a little-known playwright from Pennsylvania, said Turner put herself forward for the role after his casting director put out a call for actors. The actress, also known as the voice of Jessica Rabbit, had once expressed interest in directing one of his plays and, although that did not pan out, she was keen to work on his latest project. The writer told the New York Times that Would You Still Love Me If... was inspired by the film Blue Is The Warmest Colour, a coming-of-age romance starring Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos. "I was moved by the relationship of these two women, and was pondering if there was anything that could change their love. For some reason, it crossed my mind - what if one of them decided they wanted to physically change? That was the germ of the idea." Previews begin on 26 September at New World Stages in New York, with the opening night set for 10 October. According to former financial director Donald McIntyre, the size of the club's financial liabilities meant it would have been "remiss" not to do so. Mr Whyte is accused of a fraudulent acquisition of Rangers. The 46-year-old denies two charges relating to the purchase - one of fraud and another under the Companies Act. Speaking from the witness box where he was giving evidence for a second day, Mr McIntyre discussed the financial obligations faced by Rangers in the months leading up to the sale of the club to Mr Whyte in May 2011. He said Rangers faced a potential bill from HMRC of about £50m, which had been described as the "Big Tax Case". Defence QC Donald Findlay called the debt a "nuclear missile" that was heading straight for Rangers. He said it was "like an exocet, nothing could be done to stop it". Mr McIntyre said Rangers board members had hoped to challenge the amount owed and that counsel at the time had suggested they had a very good chance in the case. However, Mr Findlay put it to the witness that the tax bill was a "potentially terminal event" for the club. The advocate asked when Mr McIntyre first knew "the board was discussing the possibility of administration" for Rangers. Mr McIntyre said he could not be "specific of a date" but that the "subject would have cropped up" in 2010. The court went on to hear about a meeting of Rangers directors in March 2011. They discussed the money owed to HMRC and the possible impact for the club. Mr Findlay put it to Mr McIntyre: "Rangers could not contemplate paying up that size of debt?" Mr McIntyre agreed. Later the jury was told that Rangers did go into administration "much later" but that it was "nothing to do" with the "Big Tax Case". The trial also heard the claim that Rangers former owner Sir David Murray, who purchased the club in 1988, had described Mr Whyte's bid for the club as the "only show in town". Mr Findlay put to Mr McIntyre: "Did it become abundantly clear that Murray would do virtually anything to secure the deal with Mr Whyte?" Mr McIntyre responded: "I would not put it like that. I don't think a deal would have been done under any circumstance." The defence advocate went on: "A deal was done under any circumstance...Rangers was bought for a pound." Mr McIntyre added: "With commitments and obligations." Mr Whyte is accused of pretending to former Rangers owner 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 funds included clearing the £18m bank debt, £2.8m for the "small tax case" liability, a £1.7m health-and-safety liability and £5m for the playing squad. The Crown alleges Mr Whyte had only £4m available from two sources at the time but took out the £24m loan from Ticketus "which was held subject to an agreement or agreements being entered into between the club and Ticketus after said acquisition". 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. Media playback is not supported on this device No first-time winner has successfully defended the World Championship at the venue, but the Essex potter sees no reason why he cannot end the hoodoo. Bingham gets the showpiece event under way against Ali Carter on Saturday and wants to prove people wrong once again. "I've still had people saying it was fluke," Bingham, 39, told BBC Sport "But I would love to see people fluke beating Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Graeme Dott, and then Shaun Murphy in the final. That's obviously what you get; you get some haters. "People wrote me off last year and said I couldn't win it, so who's to say I can't win it again?" No sinking feeling World number two Bingham beat Murphy to win the sport's biggest prize in 2015 and, almost a year on, he is still coming to terms with his life-changing victory. "To be honest I don't think it has sunk in yet," the Basildon-born potter said. "Graeme Dott [the 2006 world champion] said to me that it might be one of those that only does sink in when your career ends and you look back at what you have won and think 'wow'." And even though Bingham has not won a tournament this season, being world champion has been "special" and he feels he has been getting back to his best in recent weeks. He reached the semi-finals in the Shanghai Masters in the early stages of the season and the last four at the Masters in January, when he lost to Ronnie O'Sullivan. A run to the final of the World Grand Prix last month saw him lose a final-frame thriller to Murphy and he then backed up that performance by making the last eight at the China Open. "The last two or three tournaments I have felt like my game is there," Bingham added. "I showed some grit against Shaun and somehow got to 9-9. It shows I am in there and fighting. "With the year I had the confidence isn't as high as I wanted it be but I am winning matches again." Whatever happens in Sheffield, Bingham knows he has already joined a select club and that stepping out as reigning world champion at the Crucible will be another "fantastic" moment. "I am looking forward to going back. I don't know how it will be walking out there and being introduced as world champion," he added. "It will be a bit weird and there will be a big pressure. I will have emotions flying everywhere so I am just going to enjoy it like I did last year and see what happens. "To get my name engraved on that trophy forever means more than the money." Mr Issoufou took 48% of the vote, with jailed opposition leader Hama Amadou on 18%, official preliminary results say. The run-off vote between the two candidates is scheduled for 20 March. Mr Amadou is currently behind bars accused of trafficking babies, a charge he strongly denies. President Issoufou is running for a second term. The run-up to the vote was marred by accusations of repression and a row over identification documents. The authorities announced that roughly 1.5 million people without ID papers would be able to cast their ballots by having witnesses vouch for them, in a move that was condemned by opposition leaders. Niger is rich in natural resources, including uranium and oil, but is one of the poorest countries on Earth, ranking last in the UN Human Development Index. Niger is seen as an important ally of Western powers in the fight against militant Islamists in the fragile Sahara region. However, the country is far from stable. Corruption, food shortages and porous borders remain serious problems. Gytis Griskevicius, 32, of St Ann's Lane, Boston, denies killing Marina Erte, 33, at her flat in Boston on 20 May 2016. He is alleged to have beaten her before drowning her with a shower attachment and then setting fire to the flat. Lincoln Crown Court was told the attack was motivated by jealousy at a new relationship Ms Erte had begun. Read more about this and other stories from Lincolnshire Mr Griskevicius did not give evidence during the two-week trial but denied he was responsible in police interviews played in court. He admitted visiting Ms Erte's flat on the night she died but said she was "fine" when he left. Ms Erte's naked and badly beaten body was found in the bath at her flat by firemen who had been called out by neighbours. About 71.9 million units were shipped in the period, which includes the key Christmas shopping season. IDC said the decline was the worst since it started tracking PC shipments. PC demand has been hit by competition from smartphones and tablets, along with longer lifecycles for PCs. Shipments fell in all regions around the world and have declined for five quarters in a row, according to IDC's figures. Rival research firm Gartner also said shipments were down. Using different methodology, it saw a fall of 8.3% in the fourth quarter from a year ago. It doesn't take much analysis to work out why PC shipments are falling rapidly. I mean, look around you. If you're at home, what do you have in the corner where your PC used to go? Then again, you're more likely to not be at home. The majority of visitors to this website, and most other major sites and networks, arrive there using their mobile devices. And that leaves the workplace, the domain where PC is still king, and will remain so for a while yet. Sales tanked in the last quarter, sure, but analysts expect the PC market to pick up again in 2016 as companies start to upgrade to Windows 10, which launched in the middle of last year. Unlike home users, who could update in a few hours or so, big firms need to plan well ahead - and so many would have held off until the new year. It'll mean a boost for traditional PC sales, but not a halt in their overall long-term decline. Instead, IDC notes that sales of computers with detachable tablets, like Microsoft's Surface, are growing quickly (albeit from an almost standing start). Other factors that contributed to the decline in shipments included economic issues such as falling commodity prices, weaker currencies, turmoil in financial markets driven by China, as well social tensions in the Middle East. Apple was the only top five PC maker to see shipments grow last year, up over 6%, while Acer saw the biggest fall, of more more than 18%. "Consumer sentiment toward PCs remains a challenge, though clearly there are pockets of growth," said IDC research manager Jay Chou in a statement. "Even as mainstream desktop and notebooks see their lifetimes stretched ever longer, Apple's emergence as a top five global PC vendor in 2015 shows that there can be strong demand for innovative, even premium-priced systems that put user experience first." Chinese tech giant Lenovo, however, remained at the top of the market - owning more than 20% of it. HP followed in second place, with Dell third and Apple and ASUS tied for the fourth spot. Dagmara Przbysz, 16, was pronounced dead at Pool Academy near Redruth at about 14:15 BST on Tuesday. Principal Zelma Hill said it was "heart-breaking" and described the girl as "passionate about fashion and photography". A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said the girl's death was not thought to be suspicious. 'Terrible time' Ms Hill said: "Dagmara was a beautiful, bright and creative 16-year-old student with a very promising future ahead of her. "We are supporting students, staff and their families through this terrible time." Tributes have been paid to Dagmara on the Pool Academy school Facebook page. Insp John Hannaford, from Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "We understand this is a very distressing time for the family and the school. "We are working closely with them and will offer support where required." Surgeons at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital have been giving details about two procedures due to be carried out on the 15-year-old. Malala was discharged from the hospital earlier this month after being shot in the head by the Taliban in October. The hospital said the surgery would take place in the next 10 days. The first procedure will involve drilling into her skull and inserting a custom-made metal plate. Doctors said Malala had been left completely deaf in her left ear when she was shot at point-blank range. The shockwave destroyed her eardrum and the bones for hearing. The second procedure will involve fitting a small electronic device that provides a sense of sound to someone who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. Dr Dave Rosser, medical director at the QEHB, said: "Her recovery is remarkable and it's a testament to her strength and desire to get better. "There is no doubt that the surgery she underwent in Pakistan was life saving. "Had that surgery not been of such a high standard she would have died." He added each procedure should take about 90 minutes and her full recovery could take another 15 to 18 months. Dr Rosser said the missing part of Malala's skull had been put in her abdomen by surgeons in Pakistan, in order to "keep the bone alive". Doctors in Birmingham have chosen to use a metal plate to repair her skull instead of that bone, which they say may have shrunk. Dr Rosser added this was common practice worldwide to keep the bone healthy. He said: "Malala currently has no skull, she only has skin covering the brain." Malala has asked to keep the bone once it has been removed, said Dr Rosser. The QEHB is home to the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine where members of the armed service who have been injured overseas are treated. Dr Rosser said the hospital was "unique" because all the treatment Malala required could be done within the same organisation. Stefan Edmondson, principal maxillofacial prosthetist, at the QEHB said: "What we're doing here could be done elsewhere but because we're such a large super-regional unit with a large neurological unit we see a lot more advanced cranial defects. "We're fortunate in that aspect to see a lot more complicated cases and [it means] we have the software here." Malala came to prominence when, as an 11-year-old, she wrote a diary for BBC Urdu, giving an account of how her school in Mingora town dealt with the Taliban's 2009 edict to close girls' schools. Her love for education, and her courage in standing up to the Taliban, earned her a national peace award in 2011. Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for Malala to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The Pakistan government has given Malala's father, Ziaududdin Yousafzai, a job in Birmingham as the education attache at the Consulate of Pakistan for at least three years. Lucy Bronze, who was shortlisted for the player of the tournament award, is among those overlooked. Four Americans are in the Fifpro team, including midfielder Carli Lloyd, the 2015 World Player of the Year. The team, which also includes three Frenchwomen, was voted for by players from 33 different countries. Fifpro, the global players' union, has named a men's team of the year every year since 2005. World football's governing body Fifa names only a men's XI at its annual Ballon d'Or gala. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the Saudi authorities of "murdering" pilgrims who were caught up in a deadly stampede during last year's Hajj. The injured were locked in containers and not provided medical treatment, he alleged, without providing evidence. The stampede killed 2,426 people, according to an unofficial tally. The Saudi authorities, who say only 769 died, have made few details of the official investigation into the incident public but have previously rejected criticism of their management of the Hajj. In a statement published on his website marking the anniversary of the stampede, Ayatollah Khamenei accused the Saudis of being "at fault". "The heartless and murderous Saudis locked up the injured with the dead in containers - instead of providing medical treatment and helping them or at least quenching their thirst. They murdered them," he said. "Instead of apology and remorse and judicial prosecution of those who were directly at fault in that horrifying event, Saudi rulers- with utmost shamelessness and insolence - refused to allow the formation of an international Islamic fact-finding committee." The ayatollah called on the Islamic world to "fundamentally reconsider the management of the Two Holy Places" - Mecca's Great Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina - and "the issue of Hajj". "Those who have reduced Hajj to a religious-tourist trip and have hidden their enmity and malevolence towards the faithful and revolutionary people of Iran under the name of 'politicising hajj', are themselves small and puny satans who tremble for fear of jeopardising the interests of the Great Satan, the US," he added. In May, Iran's Hajj organisation declared that pilgrims from the country would not be able to attend this year's Hajj, blaming "ongoing sabotage by the Saudi government". The Saudi foreign minister responded by accusing Iran of asking for special treatment for its citizens and of finding excuses for denying them the chance to fulfil a religious duty. The decision came four months after Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran in response to attacks on Saudi diplomatic compounds in Iran by people angered by the kingdom's execution of a prominent Shia cleric convicted of terrorism offences. The idea was mooted in an informal council survey as officials look to update existing legal orders tackling dog fouling and anti-social behaviour. A council report has backed the idea for dogs to be kept on leads near park visitor centres, but not a wider area. People in breach of public orders can face fixed penalty fines. Dog exclusion zones already exist on marked sports pitches and play areas in Wrexham, apart from owners with assistance dogs. Extending the order to pavements and some parkland could cost an additional £20,000 in signage costs, according to the report. A scrutiny committee meeting at the Guildhall on Wednesday agreed to allow a formal consultation to take place to push ideas forward. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also urged an intensification of efforts to find a political solution to the war. Mr Lavrov was speaking after meeting his counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the US. On Thursday, President Putin suggested the Syrian regime could be ready to work with some rebel groups against the so-called Islamic State. Mr Putin said President Assad had agreed to the idea on a recent visit to Moscow, Speaking at the start of talks in Vienna on Friday, Mr Lavrov said: "Our common position is that we need to boost efforts for the political process in the Syrian settlement. "This foresees the start of full-scale talks between representatives of the Syrian government and the full spectrum of the Syrian opposition, both domestic and external - with the support of outside players." Mr Lavrov did not define exactly which opposition groups should be included. US Secretary of State John Kerry, who also attended, said the talks had been "constructive" and that an expanded round of negotiations could take place next week. The US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia all support rebel groups fighting the Syrian government. Russia backs President Assad and hosted him on Tuesday in a visit criticised by the US. Russia has been bombing targets in Syria since last month. It says it is primarily hitting IS, but Western powers say most of the air strikes have hit rebel groups, including those backed by the West and Gulf states. However, Vladimir Putin's spokesman said on the BBC's HARDtalk programme that Russia's intervention in Syria was not an attempt to prop up President Assad but rather an attempt to save the country and the region from falling under the sway of terrorists. Dmitry Peskov said a political settlement was impossible without dialogue with the "legitimate president" of Syria. And he echoed Mr Putin's speech at the Valdai discussion forum by saying all the "serious" rebel forces in Syria were "terrorists". Mr Peskov said the West had so far failed to identify any "balanced opposition" to Mr Assad that did not have links to jihadists. The US-led air campaign against the so-called Islamic State had led to IS controlling two-thirds of the country's territory, Mr Peskov argued, but there were now signs the Syrian army - backed by Russian air strikes - was mounting a successful offensive against rebels. Mr Peskov also said Russia wanted to exchange military information with the US, including about targets of air strikes, but this had not been forthcoming. YouTube video from the fighting in Syria has thrown up images of a rarely seen Russian weapons system - the TOS-1 "Buratino" multiple rocket launcher. Described by the Russians as a "heavy flame-thrower", it is a highly controversial weapon and its appearance in Syria raises the question as to who is actually operating it. The TOS-1 fires a 220mm rocket that is designed to carry a thermobaric warhead. Sometimes known as a "fuel-air explosive" the rockets detonates at a set altitude above the ground, releasing a cloud of fuel which is then ignited by a second explosion. This creates a huge temperature and pressure wave whose impact has been likened to a low-yield nuclear explosive. It is very much an indiscriminate weapon, typically used to support offensive operations by blanketing given areas with fire. Thermobaric weapons were used to devastating effect by the Russians in Afghanistan. Why is there a war in Syria? Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory. Who is fighting whom? Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other. What's the human cost? More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe. How has the world reacted? Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes. The Potters had a £13m bid for Wales midfielder Allen, 26, accepted on Thursday by the Anfield club. And Johnson is excited about the prospect of his former team-mate coming to the Britannia Stadium. "He's a fantastic player. He'd be brilliant for the squad - he's one of those players who gets the game going," Johnson told BBC Radio Stoke. Swansea are the main rivals for Allen's signature, but Johnson would not hesitate to recommend Stoke to him. "Of course I would. I've enjoyed every minute here and I'd pass that on if he called or texted me," he said. "I'd personally love him to come here. He's an out-and-out footballer - the Stoke of old doesn't really exist any more, that era has gone, we're a footballing side now." Johnson's first season at Stoke was ended by a knee injury suffered against Bournemouth in February. The 31-year-old was back in contention for the final game with his old club West Ham, but was not risked. "As I jumped I got kicked at the same time it was a strange one but when you have contact injuries anything can happen," he said. "The toughest part is missing the football and trying to remain sane in the physio room. "I feel good and strong. I could've played the last game, but we agreed there wasn't any point taking a risk but I hoping for a fully-fit campaign this time - I can't wait to get going." The visitors, who resumed on 115-3, saw Matt Machan dismissed for 80 before losing their last four wickets for 10 runs and were 265 all out. Chris Rushworth (5-81) took his second five-wicket haul of the season. Needing 262 to win a second successive Championship game of the season, Durham closed on 115-2 with Matt Stoneman making 41 and Keaton Jennings 38. Ajmal Shahzad (2-40) took both wickets, trapping Stoneman leg before and having Jennings caught behind by Ben Brown. Earlier, Machan was fifth wicket to fall when he was out lbw to Usman Arshad (2-43) and Sussex's innings quickly fell away. Looking well set on 217-4, they were quickly dismissed for 265, with first-innings hero Ollie Robinson ending on four not out. John Hastings (2-57) took the wickets of Steve Magoffin and Matthew Hobden in successive balls to wrap the innings up. Durham seam bowler Chris Rushworth: "We knew we needed quick wickets after lunch and to wrap them up like that was a big plus. "There's a bit of variable bounce but it's a good pitch and the scores are about par. It's been a remarkable game and one of the coldest I've played in. "The ball doesn't swing in these conditions, but I got one to nip back off the pitch to get Luke Wright when he was looking dangerous. "It's always nice to see the middle stump 10 yards back." The campaign is said to be targeting militants in Borno state. It came as Nigerian officials dismissed Boko Haram's pledge of allegiance to Islamic State as a reaction to military pressure from Nigeria and its allies. The pledge was posted online on Saturday in an audio message by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau. He called on Muslims everywhere to swear loyalty to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Boko Haram has been fighting an insurgency to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria since 2009, and in recent months the violence has increasingly spilled over into neighbouring states. Chad, Cameroon and Niger have already been helping Nigeria in its battle against Boko Haram. On Friday, the African Union endorsed the creation of a regional force of more than 8,000 troops to combat the group. However, the force's remit will be limited to securing the Nigerian side of Lake Chad, rather than pushing further into Nigeria. As the latest offensive began early on Sunday, a resident and an aid worker told AFP news agency there had been heavy arms fire close to Niger's border with Nigeria. A local radio station said that a convoy of more than 200 vehicles was moving towards the area, and that air strikes had been carried out on Saturday and early on Sunday. The Nigerian military and troops from neighbouring states have recently claimed some success in their campaign against Boko Haram, and Nigerian officials said the pledge of allegiance to IS was a sign of weakness Army spokesman Col Sami Usman Kukasheka said the Boko Haram leader was like a "drowning man". "There is no surprise that he is craving for support from fellow terrorists across the world," he told the BBC World Service. "Basically he's just trying to create panic to create a plea for help that will not even come because very soon we will see to the end of the insurgency in Nigeria." Boko Haram at a glance Founded in 2002, initially focused on opposing Western-style education - Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language Why is Boko Haram so strong? Can regional force beat Islamists? IS shaping Boko Haram media A spokesman for the Nigerian government, Mike Omeri, said Boko Haram needed help "as a result of the heavy casualties and bombardment and degrading of their capacity". However, militants have continued to launch deadly attacks. On Saturday Boko Haram was blamed for a series of attacks in its former stronghold of Maiduguri, including suicide bombings, that left more than 50 people dead. Nigeria postponed national elections by six weeks until 28 March in order to have more time to try to improve security in the north. Col Kukasheka called on Nigerians "to be more security conscious because given the onslaught on Boko Haram definitely they are bound to spring surprises". IS took control of large swathes of territory in eastern Syria and across northern and western Iraq last year. It has forged links with other militant groups across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and in January, militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan pledged their allegiance. After six months out with a foot injury Haskell played almost an hour in Wasps' Champions Cup win at Zebre on Sunday. He reported minor soreness in his foot after the game, but still expected to attend the training camp as planned. Back-row forward Jack Clifford will also remain at his club Harlequins. He picked up an injury in the Challenge Cup defeat by Stade Francais in Paris, having only recently returned from ankle surgery. It is unclear when Haskell, who has 70 caps, will be able to join up with the England squad. He will stay at Wasps for treatment for the time being. "Both players sustained injuries in their club games on Sunday and were due to arrive in Vilamoura today but will instead stay in the UK to undergo further medical assessments after which a decision will be made on when they join up with England," the RFU said. England's first match in the tournament is against France on 4 February. Penny, 21, has made 18 first-team appearances, and scored one try in six league games during the last campaign. Connon, 19, is an Ireland Under-20 international, while Marshall, 18, is an academy graduate. "We have always stated our intention of promoting top local prospects," director of rugby Dean Richards said. "Tom very much typifies that, he is a quality player who has already stepped onto the senior stage and we look forward to having him in our plans for a number of years to come. "We have known for a while here what a talent Brett is, but he has really made his mark now with Ireland Under-20s. "Dan is an attacking threat with pace to burn and great footwork. He is in the best place for his development given the fantastic work of our academy here." There are at least 14 suspected cases. Most companies on the RHI scheme are based in mid-Ulster and north Antrim, according to information passed to the BBC. A regional breakdown of installations published by the Stephen Nolan Show shows the biggest cluster is around Dungannon, County Tyrone. There are 342 boilers there - about one-in-six of the total. The Ulster Unionist economy spokesman Steve Aiken told the BBC that the Economy Minister, Simon Hamilton, has questions to answer. "When you have a minister say there's potential for or likely to be fraud, and it hasn't been contradicted, i would think that's enough evidence for the PSNI to become involved in the situation". The statistics, passed to the BBC, show the total of 2,128 recipients are split roughly between commercial and farming interests. Around Ballymena and Ballymoney there are 276 boilers. Poultry farmers are heavily represented, accounting for 871 of the installations. The two main clusters are close to Moy Park's processing plants in Northern Ireland, in Ballymena and Dungannon. Poultry farmers use the boilers to heat chicken houses where the birds are reared. Many switched from LPG gas to biomass in recent years. Other areas where there are significant numbers of boilers by postcode include Armagh which has 112 and Omagh which has 82. Last week, Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said a Moy Park briefing with his officials had raised "issues" about the operation of the RHI scheme. Moy Park later issued a statement but made no reference to those issues. On Monday, the former DETI minister Jonathan Bell claimed under assembly privilege that he had been told DUP special advisers Timothy Johnston and John Robinson had extensive interests in the poultry industry, and that he would not be allowed to reduce the RHI tariff as a result. The DUP later issued a statement of categorical denial on behalf of both men. John Robinson said he had "no personal interest" in the poultry industry. He said two of his brothers were poultry farmers but were not in the RHI. Timothy Johnston said he had "no family connections to the poultry industry". He said he had two brothers in law in the poultry industry but neither had any connection with the RHI. On Tuesday, Mr Bell said he was prepared to repeat allegations he made about the role played by special advisers in the RHI scheme, to a judge-led inquiry. He was speaking during an an opposition debate in the Assembly calling for a public inquiry into the controversial scheme. He also made further allegations about the RHI scheme - suggesting at least one DUP special adviser might have up to eight boilers. The party said it was an "outrageous claim". MLAs later voted for a public inquiry to be called into the controversy in a debate where Sinn Féin were absent. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme was an attempt by the Northern Ireland Executive to help to increase consumption of heat from renewable sources. But flaws in setting the scheme's subsidy rate left it open to abuse as claimants could earn more cash the more fuel they burned, with the overspend estimated to be about £490m. It has been centre stage in politics in Northern Ireland over the past month, with the resignation of Martin McGuinness as deputy first minister bringing the issue to a head. Sinn Féin's refusal to re-nominate a deputy first minister on Monday left Secretary of State James Brokenshire with no option but to call fresh Assembly elections on 2 March. Former first minister Arlene Foster set up the scheme in 2012 when she was enterprise minister. Kelly Pearce, 36, died in hospital after being found with a serious neck injury at a property in Canvey Island. Anthony Ayres, of Fairlop Avenue in Canvey, was arrested the following day and charged with murder. He appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court where he was remanded in custody and a provisional trial date was set for 3 May 2016.

The file groups together a range of content, some of which can only be accessed once the user enters a key. It is designed to help artists sell or otherwise distribute material to fans in addition to the initial music file or film clip downloaded. One analyst said it represented BitTorrent's effort to reinvent itself. The San Francisco company's peer-to-peer data transfer technology has been blamed for helping online piracy to flourish, thanks to its use by several copyright-infringing media sites. However, Mark Mulligan, editor of the Music Industry Blog, said Bundle was a "strong step" towards the company repositioning itself as a genuine partner to owners of content. BitTorrent said it believed the format had the potential to "revolutionise" the media industry. "Since Edison invented the record player the idea has been you sell the record inside a store," Matt Mason, vice-president of marketing, told the BBC. "What's different about this is that the 'record' is the store, or the 'movie' has the box office baked into it. "The idea is that if you put the store or place to interact with the content creator inside the Bundle itself, then every creator stands to earn either money or a connection to a new fan every time that piece of content is shared." To promote the format, the company has teamed up with music label Ultra to release material from Kaskade, an American DJ. When the file is downloaded, users are taken to a webpage offering them instant access to a song and video trailer. However, they need to enter their email address to unlock other content, including a tour booklet and short film. This email address can later by used by the artist to promote their concerts or other merchandise. In the future, BitTorrent said users could also be required to pay a fee before added content was released. "If you publish a Bundle as an artist you can get the email addresses from fans. You can get the money," said Mr Mason. "Content creators and their fans can connect directly, and that's useful for anyone from a small band to Disney, who now won't need to use Facebook, Spotify or Netflix as a middleman." Mr Mulligan said he agreed this was a direction that the media industry needed to go in, but questioned whether Bundle itself would succeed. "It is simply not good enough to just give a digital file of analog media and call it a digital product. That misses the potential of what technology can enable," he said. "That doesn't mean this exact iteration that they've created is going to make millions. It's part of an innovation experiment process." The Scottish Parliament took the IndyCamp group to court after they refused to end their occupation of the parliamentary estate. After a seven-month court battle, Lord Turnbull ruled that it would not breach human rights laws to have the camp evicted. The campers said they would appeal, hoping to stay in the meantime. In an email to MSPs, the Scottish Parliament said officials would "seek discussions" with the campers to "agree plans for a peaceful removal of the camp". The IndyCamp was set up outside the parliament in November 2015, with the campers pledging to remain in place until Scotland is declared independent. The parliament ordered them to leave, saying they were camping without permission, taking up space others could be using and endangering the neutrality of the parliamentary estate, A lengthy legal battle ensued, with the campers putting forward a series of unusual arguments based on the Declaration of Arbroath, the 1707 Act of Union and the second coming of Christ. Respondents also attempted to call the Queen as a witness and accused Lord Turnbull of "blasphemy", but the case ultimately came down to a question of human rights; whether evicting the campers would be a proportionate response with regard to their human rights. After hearing legal arguments on this point, Lord Turnbull criticised their approach as "selfish or even arrogant", saying the campers had shown "open disregard" for others. He said the order sought by parliament, for eviction, would not "substantially impair the ability to protest at the grounds of the Scottish Parliament". The judge added that the campers did not have an "unfettered right" to hold a permanent vigil outside Holyrood, saying he had come down "firmly in favour" of the parliament's view that eviction would be proportionate. Camper Dean Halliday told the BBC that it was a "sad day for Scotland", saying the group would appeal against the judgement. He described the campers as "middle aged tea drinkers" who represent the "Yes" movement for independence, saying they had gathered outside Holyrood in response to Nicola Sturgeon asking for the "voice of the people". A spokeswoman for the Scottish Parliament said: "The corporate body regrets that it was forced to take this action, however, given the protesters refusal to vacate the land or consider alternative options to make their protest, we were left with no choice. "We took this action to protect the rights of all those who wish to use and access Parliament land and we welcome Lord Turnbull's judgement in our favour today." The parliament will now seek discussions with the campers to remove the camp in a "planned and orderly way", saying they remained open to "exploring alternative options" for the group to "express their views while ensuring the land remains available for the use of others". Parliamentary corporate body member Andy Wightman said he hoped the campers would leave voluntarily, but said "we will take steps" to have them removed if they do not. The Green MSP, a supporter of Scottish independence, said the issue was "irrelevant" to the IndyCamp case. He added that parliament was "bound to defend its interests", and said it was "proportionate and right" to take action against the camp. The guide for tracking manufacturers of weapons used against public protest, is also available on Dismaland's website. The release coincides with the opening of the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) fair in London. A statement on the theme park's website said: "We're asking anyone who might find this helpful to disperse the PDF." Since the park opened in the derelict seafront lido in Somerset on 22 August, thousands of fans have flocked to the site, with the £3 tickets selling out in minutes. Dismaland has been labelled as "twisted", but the Bristol artist insists it was built as a "family attraction that acknowledges inequality and impending catastrophe". A statement on the park's website - under the headline "Tickets to the gun show?" - reads: "This week sees the opening of the DSEI Arms Fair (the world's largest arms fair). "To commemorate the occasion Dismaland's museum curator Dr Gavin Grindon alongside the #RiotID project have produced a guide for tracking the manufacturers of weapons used against public protest. "These are available in the park from today, but obviously are of limited use in Weston super-Mare so we're asking anyone who might find this helpful to disperse the PDF below." The artist said he was inspired to create the park after peering through a gap in the fence at the Tropicana site in January. The show, a dark take on theme parks with a nod to Disneyland, was organised in secrecy over the course of months. Running twice a day until 27 September, it has been claimed it will boost the local economy by £7m. Plain clothes police officers targeted three inbound flights from countries where the practice is common. The Met claimed the operation was educational and not stereotyping. More than 2,000 suspected FGM victims received medical attention between April and June, but there has never been a conviction in the UK. Det Ch Supt Ivan Balhatchet said: "This isn't about labelling, this isn't about stereotyping. "Our focus is on targeting those communities where offences of FGM are prevalent, by engaging with passengers travelling to and from countries where the offence is practised. "We hope to educate and prevent anyone who may engage in FGM; as well as highlighting the support available to those who may be at risk." There has only ever been one, unsuccessful, prosecution for the practice in the UK, and three more cases are being reviewed by lawyers. Mr Balhatchet said prosecutions were "far from being the main part of the strategy" to tackle FGM. Chief executive of children's charity Barnardo's, Javed Khan, said the health figures were "the tip of the iceberg". "There are likely to be many more women and girls who are living with the harmful physical and emotional consequences of this outdated practice here in England," he said. "A lack of knowledge and confidence among professionals has stalled successful prosecutions for too long." So far 13 prevention orders have been made to stop girls being taken abroad to undergo FGM. The Met said it had dealt with an increasing number of cases, rising from 29 reports in 2012 to 196 in the year to March 2016. The lorry driver was allegedly assaulted by another motorist on the A320 by a roundabout with Woodlands Road, near Slyfield industrial estate in Guildford on 5 February. A 26-year-old man from Farnborough has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. He has been released on bail until 2 May. Youngsters at the G4S-run Medway Secure Training Centre, Rochester, will each have access to a room phone and 20 minutes of credit per day. They are being fitted to help inmates build relationships and call services like the Samaritans and ChildLine. A BBC Panorama investigation uncovered mistreatment claims in January. Currently, an inmate has to wait for a member of staff to bring a phone to their room who then stays with them while they make the call. Unify Business Solutions said the system would be "secure" with all numbers pre-checked to prevent abuse. In February, G4S said it was planning to sell its children's services business including the two secure units at Oakhill, Buckinghamshire, and Medway, Kent. The BBC investigation in January featured undercover footage showing staff mistreating and abusing inmates, and boasting about using inappropriate techniques to restrain youngsters. The abuse claims related to 10 boys. Five men were arrested by Kent Police on suspicion of either child neglect or assault and bailed until April. G4S sacked five members of staff. Three others are currently suspended. The director of the unit, Ralph Marchant, also stepped down at the end of January. Jason Asagba - one of the first people convicted under the new law - was given an 18-month conditional discharge earlier. The move to criminalise the offence followed pressure from victims, politicians and campaigners, who pointed out that in two-and-a-half years only six out of 149 allegations led to a police caution or charge. Now, sharing sexual photos or videos of someone else without their consent can result in up to two years in jail. And since the law was changed, there have already been four convictions. But not everyone agrees the new legislation is proving effective. Folami Prehaye, 45, from Bristol, became a victim of revenge porn when her former partner, Thomas Samuel, posted explicit pictures of her online. He shared the images with her friends, family and strangers, and in September was given a six-month suspended sentence for harassment and distributing indecent images. Miss Prehaye now runs the website Victims of Internet Crime: Speak Out to share her experiences with other victims. She said: "My view is that the new law is definitely not harsh enough. Since it came into force the cases have all ended with people getting suspended sentences. "That is not much of a deterrent. They need to make an example of someone so people realise the seriousness of the crime. "People are not coming forward because they think the outcome will just be a slap on the wrist." Speaking to the BBC before the law was introduced, victim Hazel Higgleton, from Chelmsford, Essex, said she thought the law would deter potential perpetrators. Last year her ex-boyfriend posted a sex tape of them on various pornographic websites. She said: "I think it [the new law] will show the people who are thinking about doing it that if they do it and they get caught, they're going to get done. "That wasn't there before so they were just going to do it anyway." The Ministry of Justice has started a campaign called Be Aware B4 You Share to raise awareness about the new offence. In February, the Revenge Porn Helpline was launched to offer confidential advice and support. Caterina McNulty is a counsellor working with the helpline and said so far it has had about 1,500 calls with victims. She said: "I am pleased to see that it is being taken more seriously. Hopefully the law will make people think twice before posting images online. "Sometimes it is done in anger, or when people are intoxicated. "People need to know if they post this stuff without permission they risk getting a criminal record." Former Lib Dem MP Dr Julian Huppert led the campaign to change the law, but said the real challenge is teaching young people about consent. He said: "The correct solution isn't people being prosecuted, it's people in society realising this behaviour is simply unacceptable. "It is astonishing that this wasn't illegal in the first place." Ms McNulty said revenge porn can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. About 30% of those who contact the helpline are male. The organisation deals with a lot of blackmail and extortion cases, where someone demands money, as well as instances of devices being hacked, she said. "I think a big part of it is that it is so easy to share online these days, but the effects can be so devastating," she added. "Teachers have lost their jobs, people have lost all contact with their families. "And once they are online that's it, the damage has been done." Ms McNulty advised victims to report cases of revenge porn to the police and take with them any evidence, such as screenshots and text messages. "I don't know about you, but it only takes two words to make me smile," David Cameron told the party faithful at this year's Tory conference. "Exit poll." It had, the prime minister told them, been a night of extraordinary advances, and "as dawn rose, a new light - a bluer light - fell across our isles". Not only did the Conservatives gain an outright majority - their first in more than 20 years - but they picked up seats in parts of the country that had long been held by Labour, bringing 74 new Conservative MPs to Parliament. So how did they do it? Some have attributed the party's gains in the North of England to Chancellor George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse strategy. "It's a great time to be a Tory in the North," Chris Green, the new Conservative MP for Bolton West, told BBC Radio 4's The World at One. "Economic recovery, so many other positive things going on, and especially for a town like Bolton, with a proud manufacturing history, and the chancellor and the prime minister talking about the Northern Powerhouse so much, I think goes down very well. Now it's about making the vision of that powerhouse a reality." The Conservative brand is still toxic in many parts of Northern England - and Mr Osborne has been accused of cynically using the Northern Powerhouse as a cover for big cuts to local government funding. But the plan is not just about money - it is about devolving decision-making, on things like health and transport, from Whitehall to closer to where the cash is spent, under the leadership of an elected mayor. And it is Labour council leaders who are working with the chancellor to deliver this vision - and a Labour politician, former transport secretary Lord Adonis, who has been given the task of overseeing the infrastructure projects that will be crucial to its success. Indeed, some of the most sceptical noises about the Northern Powerhouse have come from Conservatives, wary of extra layers of government that will potentially be dominated by their political opponents. "When new models of local government are seen to be imposed on areas, even if more carrot than stick is used, there the danger lurks," Will Wragg, the new Conservative MP for Hazel Grove, in Greater Manchester, told MPs. Veteran backbencher Graham Brady, who used to be the only Conservative MP in Greater Manchester, says: "I think at the moment we simply have to wait and see. "We have to hope, of course, that we end up with a mayor in Greater Manchester who is a sensible, moderate individual who will try and bring the city together rather than being divisive. If that happens then it could be a real step forward and I live in hope. "But I would have liked to have seen some safeguards that sadly aren't there." Another Northern Conservative MP was far more critical, telling me, on condition of anonymity, that the Northern Powerhouse was a vanity project and a piece of rhetoric. As such, they said, it might as well be the hot air that drives the pistons in Manchester's museums. Former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine - who led government efforts to regenerate Liverpool in the wake of the Toxteth riots in the 1980s and now advises the government on devolution - admits the party has got some persuading to do. "When I was first involved in active politics, we ran all those cities," he says. "There's no doubt the Conservative Party has not found it easy to articulate its philosophy and its policies. I was often asked when I was in Liverpool why do you bother, there are no votes for us there. "First of all it was right to bother. And secondly, if you are seen to be bothering in areas which are not traditionally your heartlands, it influences the judgment of people on a much wider constituency basis, often way away from the actually affected areas." It is difficult to gauge how much impact the Northern Powerhouse actually had at the ballot box in May - a poll by Comres, for the BBC, found two thirds of voters in the North of England had never heard of it. But its hard hat-wearing architect, George Osborne, now has his eyes on a different election - the one to choose a successor to David Cameron, which is set to happen before 2020. Could he do it? "There will be a leadership campaign. I don't know who's going to enter and I don't certainly know who's going to win," says Lord Heseltine. "But I know one thing about the Conservative Party. It is the most successful political force in the history of democracy. It has held power longer than any other equivalent anywhere in the world. "They have a nose for power and winning it. I doubt if it will desert them." The goodies are valued at more than 50,000 euros (£45,400; $59,000). Police think another lorry or van must have towed it away on Saturday night. The candy heist in Neustadt may be linked to the theft of an empty lorry in Weimar, 25km (15.5 miles) away. A fruit juice lorry also fell victim to sticky fingers, earlier on Saturday. That theft happened in Wittenburg, 445km north-east of Neustadt. Michail Antonio's first-half header and a Manuel Lanzini penalty had put West Ham 2-1 up and seemingly on course for only a fourth league win of the season, but Kane's late show emphatically turned the contest on its head. First the England striker turned home from close range after good work down the left by substitute Son Heung-Min, while two minutes later the South Korean was brought down in the area by Havard Nordtveit and Kane tucked away the resulting spot-kick. Earlier, 20-year-old midfielder Harry Winks had equalised for Tottenham on his full Premier League debut, but Lanzini's penalty - awarded after Vincent Janssen pulled back Winston Reid in the area - put West Ham back in the driving seat before Kane intervened. Spurs are now 12 games unbeaten at the start of the season - the last time they managed that was in the 1960-61 season, which ended with the north Londoners claiming a league and cup double. For now Tottenham must content themselves with a fairly modest fifth place in the standings after a run of six wins and six draws, while shell-shocked West Ham - who lost Reid to a second bookable offence in added time - remain 17th and just a point outside the relegation zone. Kane was largely anonymous for much of the match, with the focus and plaudits for the most part falling on midfielder Winks, handed his first start in the league in place of Dele Alli, who was named on the bench after returning from injury. Winks has been in and around the first team for the last couple of years and finally earned a first league start in the intense spotlight of a London derby. In such circumstances do young players show their worth, and on this evidence Winks is set to be a fixture in the Spurs set-up for some considerable time. He looked confident in possession, wanting the ball and using it well. And when the chance came to get on the scoresheet he did not hesitate, lashing home the rebound after Janssen's long-range shot was parried by Darren Randolph. In contrast, Kane had a frustrating 89 minutes but burst to life when his team needed him most. Randolph - who earlier produced a truly stunning save to deny Eric Dier with his side 2-1 up - will be disappointed with his part in the goal, diverting the ball into Kane's path as he attempted to cut out Son's low centre. But he had no chance with Kane's second from the spot - a powerful, confident strike befitting a 20-goals-a-season striker. West Ham more than played their part in a highly entertaining contest, and will return to east London wondering how they managed to not take at least a point with them. Antonio's well-taken header after Cheikhou Kouyate hit the bar gave them the lead against the run of play, but their improved performance after the break meant it was less of a surprise when Lanzini lashed home their second from the penalty spot. In that moment West Ham became the first team to score more than one goal against Spurs in the league this season, and Slaven Bilic's men looked good value for it. But the 72nd-minute entrance of Son for Mousa Dembele proved a turning point. The former Bayer Leverkusen forward first raced past Antonio to deliver a cross via the palm of Randolph that Kane turned home, and was then smart enough to invite a wild challenge from fellow substitute Nordtveit, cutting inside and leaving his standing leg invitingly in the path of the defender's needless lunge. Having already awarded a league-high eight penalties this season, referee Mike Dean made it a ninth. Kane was the gleeful recipient from 12 yards. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It was really important to get the three points, it was a very tough game, I'm very pleased with the performance. "West Ham were very good and we showed big character and personality, the team always try to find the goal and for that I am very pleased. The players fought until the last minute and the reward was unbelievable. "Harry Kane is always very important, he is our main striker and one of the best strikers in the world. You miss that type of player when he does not play for 10 or 11 games. The table looks much better, we are three points off the top and 12 unbeaten from the beginning." West Ham manager Slaven Bilic says: "We are extremely disappointed and when you are 2-1 up with three minutes to go, to concede two goals is very hard to take. We had three really good opportunities to score the third. "I think we were the better side in the first half hour then we started to lose the ball quite quickly. After we scored (to make it 2-1) that was the crucial time to hold on or score a third. "We had some good counter-attacks and we should have killed the game. We have a tough schedule but we showed we can put in a really good performance." A big week lies in store for Spurs. On Tuesday they travel to Monaco for a vital Champions League group match (19:45 GMT), while on Saturday they have the small matter of a Premier League match at London rivals Chelsea (17:30). West Ham are back in action next Sunday, visiting Manchester United in the Premier League (16:30). Match ends, Tottenham Hotspur 3, West Ham United 2.

Archaeologists found the whistle at the site of the Curtain Theatre, one of Shakespeare's least-historically documented playhouses. Historians said the theatre in Shoreditch, east London, would have been rectangular rather than curved. The dig will last another month before the site becomes a visitor centre. The remains of the Curtain, which opened in 1577, were found behind a pub as part of regeneration works in 2011. Bird whistles were children's toys, but may have been used for sound effects in theatrical performances. In Romeo and Juliet, staged at the Curtain Theatre, there are numerous references to bird song such as "That birds would sing and think it were not night". Heather Knight, the senior archaeologist leading the dig on behalf of the Museum of London Archaeology, said: "Theatre producers at that time were always trying to find new ways to animate their productions and delight audiences. "Archaeologists and theatre historians have long pondered what the Curtain Theatre looked like - this long-awaited excavation is now starting to give up the secrets of this historic site." Findings from the excavation suggest the structure reused the walls of earlier buildings, with the back section of the playhouse being a new addition. Archaeologists have been able to identify the courtyard, where theatregoers stood, and the inner walls, which held the galleries where wealthier audience members would have sat. Archaeologists also found personal items, including an animal bone comb. The Curtain's foundations will be put on permanent display as part of a major redevelopment which will include homes, shops and restaurants called The Stage. The public can book tours to visit the site on Fridays from 20 May to 24 June. Lena Wilson said it had been "a real honour and privilege" to head the national economic development agency. But she said she wanted to "embark on a fresh set of challenges". Scottish Enterprise chairman Bob Keiller said she had done "an outstanding job" and driven "a much more international mindset across the whole organisation". He added: "A plan to appoint a successor is being developed and details of this will be released in due course." First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Ms Wilson had made a "significant difference" to Scottish Enterprise's operations in Scotland and on the international stage. "She has been a committed leader for Scottish Enterprise, a champion for Scottish business and I wish her the best in her future endeavours," she said. Economy Secretary Keith Brown also paid tribute to Ms Wilson. He added: "As we look ahead to developing a new approach to delivering continued economic growth and business support, Lena's decision to move on at this point will enable a new chief executive to be appointed to take the organisation into a new phase of its work." Lord Rowe-Beddoe was appointed by the Welsh government in March 2013 when it bought the airport for £52m. He told BBC News ministers were "absolutely right to take a very tough decision" to buy the airport in order to "stop the rot". But he said it was "realistic" to expect the airport to be privatised within the next five years. The Welsh government said it would not respond to his comments. The former Welsh Development Agency chairman would not be drawn on whether ministers paid too much for it. Millions of pounds have since been invested in the facilities there. Lord Rowe-Beddoe, who stood down on Saturday, said it had taken "hard graft" to turn the airport around, in attracting airlines and also persuading the public to return. The airport sustains 1,700 jobs and is worth £100m to the economy. About a million passengers use the airport every year, compared to about six million flying from Bristol. Passenger numbers have been increasing - particularly in recent months after the airline Flybe opened a series of new routes. The total number of passengers reached 150,477 in September 2015 an increase of 25,874 on the same month in 2014. Lord Rowe-Beddoe said he saw no reason why this increase could not continue. The Welsh Conservatives have pledged to put Cardiff Airport back into private hands by 2021. Lord Rowe-Beddoe, a crossbencher in the House of Lords, said he understood why many business people were concerned about the airport being taken into public ownership. But he compared it to the banks when the UK government had to step in as an emergency measure to prevent them going out of business. Lord Rowe-Beddoe said transatlantic flights were realistic in the future and there had been discussions with American, Asian and Far Eastern airlines. He said the airport's existing capacity had room to handle 2.5m passengers a year. Just under 30% was business traffic, but he said that was an area the airport was building on. But Martin Evans, a transport expert with the University of South Wales, said the airport was still on "life support." He said it needed to grow in size and attract more passengers for businesses to invest in it. Mark Munro, 31, said he was trying to help Russell Robertson and that it was his co-accused, James Robertson, 27, who flipped him over the bridge. The pair are both accused of killing Russell Robertson by pushing him over railings at Bainsford Bridge, Falkirk, in May last year. Both men deny the charges. The jury at the High Court in Glasgow heard that Mr Munro, from Denny, fainted when police told him on 29 May 2016 that Russell Robertson was dead. When asked why he had done this, he replied: "I was shocked." Defence counsel Tony Graham, representing James Robertson, from Pitlochry, accused Mr Munro of lying and said he had given a different versions of events in court, in a prepared statement through his lawyer and during a police interview. But the HGV driver said: "The solicitor didn't want details, just basics. He must misheard me." He claimed he got confused when speaking to police because he had not slept for 40 hours. Earlier, Mr Munro told his QC Derek Ogg that he grabbed at 27-year-old Russell Robertson's left arm as he went over railings on the bridge over the Forth and Clyde Canal. He told the jury he did not hear a splash and thought Russell Robertson was lying in bushes. Mr Munro also said he had seen his co-accused fighting with Russell Robertson and had to separate them. He added: "James tried to push him over the railings. He flipped his legs up. He pushed him right over the fence." The trial before judge Lady Carmichael continues. The unique display, on one of the world's most recognisable structures, was aimed at sparking conversations about mass extinction. Pictures of snow leopards, tigers and various sea creatures were shown. A 350ft (106m) image of Cecil, the famous lion killed in Zimbabwe earlier this month, also appeared. Organisers said the event was a "first-of-its-kind" live video projection. It drew huge crowds of spectators, who stopped to gaze at the display and capture their own pictures. In all 160 species were shown, including marine mammals, insects, and even the shadow of King Kong climbing up the building. The eight-minute sessions were repeated every 15 minutes from 21:00 to 24:00 local time (01:00 to 04:00 GMT) and were visible from almost 20 blocks away. The Empire State Building is one of Manhattan's highest structures, standing 1,250ft (381m) tall. Up to 40 large projectors were used to shine the striking images on to its facade. The event was organised as part of a promotion for a new Discovery Channel documentary, Racing Extinction, which is set to air in December. Palace beat Southampton 3-0 on Saturday for their first win since a 3-2 victory over Sunderland on 24 September. Pardew, 55, has been in charge since January 2015, but had faced increased speculation about his job recently. "I'm pleased for the club and it was important we won today. The discipline was good," said Pardew. Palace had lost their previous six matches with Pardew, who took the club to last season's FA Cup final at Wembley, describing the run as a "mini-crisis". But two goals from Christian Benteke and one from James Tomkins gave the Eagles a victory over Southampton to move up to 13th in the Premier League table. After the third goal, Pardew gave a thumbs-up gesture to Parish, who responded in a similar fashion. "We have a lot of serious investors at the club who perhaps don't know a lot about football so the chairman has been defending me this week, so I just wanted to say thanks," added Pardew, who has also managed Reading, West Ham, Charlton, Southampton and Newcastle. "When the pressure racks up in the Premier League it's hard but we got the balance right and we had some good attacking play. "When you've been manager at Newcastle and the whole town lives and breathes football, you have to be able to cope with pressure. "The pressure sometimes there was intense. It wasn't as bad this week." The singer left the stage at the end of her Rebel Heart tour concert on Sunday. When she returned for an encore of Holiday, Madonna was forced to lead a crowd singalong after finding the power off and floor lights on. Posting on Instagram, Madonna said: "We don't stop till its over Glasgow! Don't try to silence the Queen." The Hydro said Madonna's own team cut the power. A spokeswoman for the venue said: "Madonna finished her agreed set and then chose to come on for another song. "By that stage, all the power and control equipment had already been disconnected by her own production engineers. I would stress that this was not a venue decision." Videos posted on social media showed Madonna leading a singalong of Holiday at the packed venue. The Glasgow gig was the last of 25 sold-out shows on the European leg of the 57-year-old's latest tour. She will perform in Mexico at the start of January. But an addiction to gambling away from the penalty box cost the former England striker much more than just financial pain. The 55-year-old frittered away "thousands and thousands" of pounds, bringing bankruptcy, the loss of three houses, a breakdown in his marriage, a journey into drugs and the lowest point - four months in jail for assault. "Gambling was my downfall but I have done that all my life," Chelsea's third highest goalscorer of all time told BBC Sport. "It's been an addiction and I don't think it can ever be completely controlled or contained. "I believe it's in my DNA. It is something in me I would argue that maybe made me the footballer I was. "It was the drive, the will to win, the need to score goals. When I gamble, it's wanting to win because of the buzz I get from it." A year after leaving prison following his conviction for punching and kicking a man in a pub, Dixon is "still very much on the floor". "But the only way is up and it's going to be up," he quickly adds when reflecting on his new life. The climb seems daunting. His punditry work has dried up for now, but he's paying the bills by working as a heating engineer's assistant - pipe fitting, boiler work and "various other bits and bobs". "However you describe it, I am an assistant," he explains. And he hopes the release of his autobiography will be a cathartic process and help him draw a line under the bad times, and get him back working in football. He has plenty of support. The Chelsea fans have been "magnificent" and he has been told the door is not shut on him resuming his matchday hospitality work at Chelsea at some point. The Professional Footballers' Association have also been a huge help, but it is an ongoing battle. Bobby Barnes, the PFA's deputy chief executive, told BBC Sport: "Kerry is an object lesson in how a player can fall from grace. "But he has also displayed tremendous strength of character because the hardest thing sometimes is to take that step and admit you need help and you have a problem. "It took a little while, but Kerry has very much embraced what we have been trying to do to help. We have done as much as we possibly can, and continue to do as much as we can, to support him. "I'm in regular contact with Kerry and Chelsea have been very supportive, in particular chairman Bruce Buck. Bruce and I are in regular dialogue to see what we can do to assist." The game was good to Dixon. On the pitch there were lots of goals, but the gambling was just as frequent. He scored 193 times for Chelsea, the club he spent nine years with from 1983. Having been rejected by Tottenham and Luton as a youngster, Dixon was soon back in the Football League and had a productive three seasons with Reading. But it was the move to the Stamford Bridge club in the summer of 1983 that brought the best years of his career. Dixon scored twice on his debut and ended as top scorer in the Division Two Championship-winning campaign of 1983-84. The hat-trick of Golden Boots came the following season, sharing the trophy with Gary Lineker. And a pre-Mexico 86 World Cup acclimatisation trip could hardly have gone better at the end of his first season in the top flight, scoring two goals on his full debut in a 3-0 win against West Germany. "As a debut it was one of the great days of my life," said Dixon. "Playing for England was every kid's dream. On the Panini strikers it was then Kerry Dixon, Chelsea and England. "To score two against the Germans and beat them was just incredible." But breaking into manager Bobby Robson's starting line-up was a huge ask. Dixon rattles off a long list of names who won England caps when he was at his peak. "I played in an era where there was Paul Mariner, Tony Woodcock, Garry Birtles, Ian Wright, Mick Harford, Brian Stein, Paul Walsh, Clive Allen, Tony Cottee, Gary Lineker, Peter Beardsley, Mark Hateley, Steve Bull, John Fashanu and Trevor Francis. But I scored so many goals during that time that he couldn't ignore me. "Now there is a serious serious dearth of strikers. There's Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy, then you are looking at Danny Welbeck, Marcus Rashford and Daniel Sturridge. And Wayne Rooney, but is he a striker now? The competition is not so great." Dixon only played six minutes at the World Cup, appearing as a substitute against Poland. And turbulent times followed, both for Chelsea and Dixon. A relegation - after the break-up "of the best Chelsea team I ever played in" - and another Division Two winning-season, were once again part of the landscape. So, almost inevitably, was the gambling. "As a player, everyone had their thing when they finished training - drinking, going to the golf course, the snooker hall or whatever," said Dixon. "I went to the betting shop. "It's what I loved and what I did. It got totally out of control. Betting accounts and shouting numbers down the phone - it was crazy. "You can have a game of pool for £1 but I was ending up betting a grand or more on the dogs and horses. I ended up in trouble, thinking, 'What am I doing?'" Dixon stopped on various occasions but not for long. At one point he gambled away £130,000 in less than a week - a serious amount of money now, let alone in the 1980s. He had to be bailed out by chairman Ken Bates, who did a deal with the bookie involved. It is under control now - partly because he simply does not have the option. But the way Dixon talks about gambling in the present tense is telling. "I am confident the days of heavy gambling for me have well gone, but I don't know for certain," he said. "An alcoholic says they will never have another drink but they don't actually know." He left Chelsea in 1992, and did so very reluctantly because he was closing in on the club's all-time leading goalscorer at the time, Bobby Tambling. But he was told he would be playing in the reserves and he desperately needed the money to pay off more debts. "One of my biggest regrets is not getting the record," he said. "I could have put that record out of sight so Frank Lampard couldn't have beaten it. "But I didn't want to play in the reserves - that's just not me. And I had obligations - and debts - and the bonuses would have dropped off." After a miserable time at Southampton came a rewarding near three-year spell at Luton Town - which included facing Chelsea in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. "That was one of the greatest days of my life in football," recalled Dixon. "We lost 2-0, but afterwards it seemed the whole ground was singing my name." He also played for Millwall, Watford and Doncaster Rovers as a player-manager, before eventually retiring in his mid-40s. Again, partly because of financial necessity, but partly because he simply loved playing. Post-football, the problems moved beyond the gambling, into drugs and eventually to jail. "I did the crime and paid the penalty," said Dixon. "I am sad it happened but I am not one to live in the past - I will move on and am determined not to let it happen again. "I haven't become a new person but it has given me a new idea on what can happen and where life can take you. "Jail is a very lonely place; it gives you a lot of time to reflect on everything, how you will be remembered, how many years you have left and what you will do with them. I have kids, a mother and father and I have responsibility to them. "It's there on my CV and I cannot change that and I am not proud of it - I want people to remember me for being a good bloke, not an ex-footballer who has gone off the rails and gone to prison." Barnes said the PFA are well aware of the issues facing players after their career ends. "We call it the transition period," said Barnes. "When you think about it, footballers were very ill-prepared. There is a lot of work now being done, particularly in terms of our education programmes, to try to ensure that transition from being a player, to being able to carry on with the rest of your life and do something meaningful." Dixon offers some simple advice. "Look what can happen," he said. "Look at some old pros who have done their dough and are penniless - me being one of them. And get help if you need it."

German world number 30 Siegemund beat France's Kristina Mladenovic in April for her second career WTA title. Maria Sharapova, who made the Stuttgart semi-finals on her return from a 15-month doping ban, could play Eugenie Bouchard in Madrid's second round. The Canadian recently said Sharapova should not have been allowed to return, describing the Russian as "a cheater".

British number one and world number seven Konta, 25, was beaten by Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova in the second round in Stuttgart. Jenny Rowe, chief executive of the Supreme Court, the UK's highest court, has written a review of the selection commission that chooses new justices. There are two justices from Scotland and one from Northern Ireland. "As the body of Welsh law increases I believe that... will require consideration of the appointment of a Welsh justice," said Ms Rowe. The review said the current pragmatic solution was to bring in an acting judge "who is seen as Welsh for any cases which come from Wales". The Supreme Court consists of 12 justices and when a vacancy arises, a selection commission is set up to make an appointment. The next justice due to retire is Lord Toulson, who will stand down in September 2016, followed by a further five in 2018. The mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices is 70 if they started after 1993 or 75 if they started before. To be eligible, an individual must either have been a High Court judge for two years or a practising lawyer for at least 15 years. The Constitutional Reform Act requires the selection commission to "ensure that between them the judges will have knowledge of, and experience of practice in, the law of each part of the United Kingdom". Ms Rowe said this is something the next commission will have to take into account "at an early stage of its deliberations and before a vacancy is advertised". However, the review points out that some people believe geographical diversity should not be prioritised over other forms of diversity. A spokesman for First Minister Carwyn Jones said the proposal for a Welsh Supreme Court judge was "long overdue" and the Welsh government had long supported the idea. Harriet Harman said infiltrators were "not clever" but the party's safeguards would ensure the "result will stand". BBC News understands 3,000 applications have been rejected. But there have been claims some are being blocked unfairly. Labour peer Lord McConnell said the situation was a "shambles". Andy Burnham earlier warned "several thousand" Tories might have registered. Mr Burnham, Jeremy Corbyn, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are standing for leader. More than 120,000 people have signed up to vote, along with more than 189,000 members of unions and other affiliates, bringing the electorate to more than 600,000. New regulations allow members of the public to sign up to vote as a "registered supporter" for £3. Mrs Harman told the BBC: "Because this is the first time we have operated these new rules for electing a Labour leader we have acted constantly on legal advice... "I am absolutely certain that no court would decide that we had done anything other than apply the rules in a rigorous, fair, robust and even-handed way. So whoever is elected, they will be legally elected." Mrs Harman said some Tory supporters were aiming to get a vote. "That is dishonest and that is shameful for people who purportedly believe in democracy and support democracy," she said. Concerns have been raised over the voting process after: Michael Dugher, Mr Burnham's campaign chairman, suggested not enough was being done to address the issue of infiltrators. Mr Burnham's team have written to Labour's general secretary claiming "a Conservative MP, Conservative media commentators, and Conservative councillors" had all been rejected. Ms Cooper said the party should make sure processes are "robust", but she wanted as many people as possible to take part. A spokesman for Mr Corbyn, who polls suggest is the frontrunner, said he had confidence in the management of the election. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Any Questions, Mr Corbyn rejected the suggestion it had been a "summer of blood" for Labour and said the campaign had been "good for democracy and for the party". But Labour's former First Minister of Scotland, Lord McConnell, described the situation as a "shambles" and said it had been a mistake to allow people to continue to register to vote in the contest throughout the summer. He said: "This is a ridiculous situation and I cannot believe that when the initial decision was made in May to open up the membership in this way over the summer that somebody at a higher level in the party, or somebody in one of the three main campaigns didn't express some concerns. "It seems I think in many ways to encapsulate what's wrong with the running of the Labour party over recent years and why we're in this mess in the first place." Responding to suggestions Mr Burnham or Ms Cooper could appeal against the result of the vote, Lord McConnell said he would be "amazed" if the contest had not been legally checked and said it was unlikely it would be run again. Labour says all applications to join as a full member, affiliate, or a supporter are assessed by a verification team. The party says it has 40 staff in Newcastle and 30 at its London HQ working to check applications and anyone who does not support Labour's "aims and values", anyone not registered as an elector at the address they have given or anyone previously excluded from the party would be rejected. MPs, local constituency parties and regional offices are carrying out checks and providing further information. Applicants' social media accounts are also being looked at. Heavy rain fell on Tuesday night, resulting in torrents of water entering the building. All flights in and out of the airport have been cancelled and passengers have been advised to stay away.

A spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane Council apologised for the inconvenience caused. Despite being relegated to Division Two of the County Championship, Worcestershire have announced a surplus after tax of £182,412 for the 12-month period ending 31 December, 2015. This compares with a surplus after tax of £58,772 for the previous period. "The year 2015 has again shown promise and progression," said Leatherdale. "We have increased income across membership, tickets and events and we are starting to see the fruits of players being brought through the club's vibrant academy during the last five years, which will only continue. "The club is in a very different and more positive place than five years ago and a great deal of progress has been made. "However, there is still further work to do in what are potentially changing and unpredictable times for cricket, both domestically and globally." Leatherdale, 48, is to leave his post in March to become chief executive at the Professional Cricketers' Association, ending a 30-year association with Worcestershire which began as a player. T20 Blast quarter-finalists Worcestershire have made three overseas signings for the 2016 season. New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry will be present for the first half of the summer, prior to the arrival of South Africa pace bowler Kyle Abbott, while Kiwi all-rounder Mitchell Santner will play in the T20 Blast. The former secretary of state said she took responsibility and introduced reforms after the attack that killed four Americans, including the US envoy. She deflected criticism that she did not do enough to protect the mission. Her Democratic party says the Republican-led panel is a witch-hunt trying to harm her presidential bid. Despite the committee sitting in four consecutive hours-long sessions on Thursday, the hearing yielded little new information. Mrs Clinton remained composed during the highly-anticipated testimony, amid several heated exchanges between Republicans and her Democrat allies. In her opening statement, she said she had asked Chris Stevens, one of the four killed, to go to Libya as US envoy. "After the attacks I stood next to President Obama as Marines carried his casket," she said. "I took responsibility, and as part of that before I left office I launched reforms to better protect our people in the field and help reduce the chance of another tragedy happening in the future." Five key questions on the latest Benghazi hearing Mrs Clinton said her appearance was her way of honouring the lives lost, and she called on those present to put national security above partisan politics. Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, seated next to the chairman, said Republicans were wasting taxpayer money in an effort to derail Mrs Clinton's presidential campaign. But Mr Gowdy denied his committee was going after Mrs Clinton. Instead, he said, it was looking for the truth behind the diplomatic compound's unsuccessful requests for more security and personnel in the build up to the attacks. Mrs Clinton is defending her record before, during and after the Benghazi attacks largely as she has before - taking responsibility for the mistakes, talking about lessons learned, and owning her policy positions. The new element is her email record, which she has downplayed. She told lawmakers that most of her work on Libya and Benghazi wasn't done by email, mentioning an occasion when an intelligence report had to be carried to her by briefcase and read on the spot. The tone has been largely measured, and the testiest exchange didn't actually involve Mrs Clinton. Committee chairman Trey Gowdy has latched onto the role of a Clinton friend, Sidney Blumenthal, who sent her numerous intelligence reports on Libya by email. He's suggesting Mr Blumenthal unduly influenced her Libya policy and had greater access to her than her Benghazi ambassador, Chris Stevens, who was killed. Democratic committee members erupted in denial and demanded Mr Blumenthal's testimony transcripts be released, while Mrs Clinton looked on detached and bemused There have already been seven congressional investigations into the attack, by suspected Islamist militants, on the US compound in the Libyan city of Benghazi on 11 September 2012. The raid led to the deaths of ambassador Chris Stevens and three other US embassy staff. Mrs Clinton said Mr Stevens was well aware of the risks of his job but withdrawing American presence from Libya would have been a mistake, she said. "To retreat from the world is not an option. America cannot shrink from our ability to lead." When the US pulls out of places, extremists gain a foothold, she added, although she did admit that security requests made by the Benghazi consulate were not met. An independent review board found deficiencies within the State Department that the Obama administration has tried to fix, said the former first lady. Observers say this was a key moment for Mrs Clinton, who solidified her position as the Democrats' frontrunner for presidential candidate after her potential rival, Vice-President Joe Biden, ruled himself out of the race on Wednesday. The Republicans on the committee were also under pressure to prove they had good reason to bring Mrs Clinton before them, and were not just using it as an excuse to undermine her presidential candidacy. One thing that was unearthed by the committee's work was the former secretary of state's use of a private email server, which has dogged her 2016 campaign ever since. What are the possible consequences for Clinton? The committee does not have the power to punish but depending on the conclusions there could be political consequences for Hillary Clinton, which might affect her presidential campaign What did Clinton know about security requests? She has said in previous testimony that requests for additional security didn't reach her level. But she has taken responsibility for the failure. And the State Department review laid out steps to improve security at diplomatic missions. What did the other Congressional committees find? This is the eighth congressional investigation. Previous committees criticised Mrs Clinton and the Obama administration on a number of points, especially the poor security at the Benghazi mission. And the intelligence was flawed. What is there left to discover? The committee has suggested there will be new evidence of how poorly the state department responded to security requests for the Benghazi mission, and new evidence on how the military responded to the attack. Read Barbara Plett Usher's answers in full As part of its recent report on the energy market, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that such websites would no longer be required to show all the deals on offer. But the MPs said that would undermine consumer trust, and harm competition. The CMA rules will allow sites only to show deals on which they earn money. This reverses a decision by the regulator Ofgem. In January 2015, it ruled that comparison sites should show all the deals available - including those on which the site did not earn any commission. The websites include Moneysupermarket, Uswitch and Comparethemarket. "Price comparison websites must do what they say on the tin," said Angus MacNeil, the chair of the Energy and Climate Change Committee. "Consumers expect price comparison sites to shine a light on the whole market, not keep them in the dark and push them into commission earning deals." Smaller energy suppliers have also complained about the CMA's new rules, as they fear the big six energy companies will become even more visible to consumers, while they will be excluded. In a hearing before the MPs earlier this month, Roger Witcomb, chair of the CMA's energy market investigation panel, sought to justify the new rules. He said the job of price comparison sites was to provide better deals for customers, not to provide a snapshot of the whole market. He said Citizens Advice already had a website which did that. The letter has gone to the new Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Greg Clark. The Chinese firm, which handles more transactions than Amazon and eBay combined, reported a net income of 71bn yuan ($11bn; £7.6bn) for the year to 31 March, up 193% on the previous year. Sales rose by a third to 101bn yuan, with sales on mobile devices up 182%. "Alibaba Group finished the fiscal year on a very strong note," said chief executive Daniel Zhang. "Whatever they are doing must be working, and most importantly it's a sign that the Chinese consumer may not be weakening quite yet," said Gil Luria of Wedbush Securities. Despite the strong rise in sales, the company has struggled to reach the growth levels it recorded before it became a public company two years ago. It faces strong competition from local rival websites like Baidu, Tencent and JD.com. Shares have also lost more than a third of their value since the company held its record initial public offering in 2014. The company's original business was Alibaba.com, set up by the company's colourful founder, Jack Ma, in 1999. It helps to connect exporters in China (and other countries) with companies in over 190 countries around the world. The business now includes entertainment services, including China's version of YouTube, Youku Tudou, as well as payment systems and cloud computing and logistics services. Increasingly, Mr Ma is looking to counter the company's reliance on Chinese consumers, with the firm now looking to get up to half of its sales from abroad. Among recent deals to expand was the purchase of South East Asia e-commerce start-up Lazada and Hong Kong's well-respected English language, the South China Morning Post. Another area of potential growth investors are excited about is its payment platform Alipay. Alipay is operated by affiliate Zhejiang Ant Small & Micro Financial Services Group, also known as Ant Financial. Mr Ma controls Ant, which is China's biggest online financial services firm, and is said to be worth around $60bn following its latest fundraising round. Sears Holdings, the department store group which owns the two major retail chains, blamed falling sales. In the eight weeks to Christmas Day, sales at Kmart fell 4.4% and by 6% at Sears. The company, which has 2,200 outlets in the US, says the closures should raise up to $170m (£108.5m; 130m euros). It added that it expected fourth-quarter earnings to be less than half of last year's amount. Retail analyst Howard Davidowitz told the BBC that the news came as no surprise: "Sears took their cash flow and used it to buy back shares instead of enhancing their offer to the customer. This has proven to be a disastrous investment that was made even though the company has been losing market share every single quarter for the past four years." Both Sears and Kmart have experienced a decline in demand for consumer electronics, amid fears of another US recession. Kmart has also reported a decline in clothing sales over the same period. Chief executive Lou D'Ambrosio said: "Given our performance and the difficult economic environment, especially for big-ticket items, we intend to implement a series of actions to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model." The results point to "deepening problems at this struggling chain and renewed worries about Sears survivability," said Gary Balter, an analyst at Credit Suisse. "The extent of the weakness may be larger than expected, but the reasons behind it are not. It begins, and some would argue ends, with Sears' reluctance to invest in stores and service." The firm's third quarter sales saw the company post a loss due to weakness in its Canadian stores, soft electronics sales and struggles in clothing and pharmaceutical sales at its Kmart unit. The board of the Jewish Agency, which facilitates Jewish immigration to Israel, said it "deplored" the move. It also rebuked ministers for backing a controversial conversions law. Both decisions were taken in response to pressure from ultra-Orthodox parties in Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. The Western Wall is a remnant of the retaining wall of the mount on which the biblical Jewish temples once stood, and is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism. Every year, millions of Jews from all over the world visit the wall to pray. It is administered by the Orthodox rabbinate and, in accordance with Orthodox tradition, men and women must pray in separate areas. For years the more liberal Reform and Conservative movements, which have large followings outside Israel, campaigned for a mixed-gender prayer space. Since 2013, a temporary prayer area for mixed worship was opened at the southern end of the wall and in 2016, Mr Netanyahu's cabinet voted in favour of plans to upgrade it. But after two ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition raised objections to the plans, ministers voted at a meeting on Sunday to suspend their implementation. The parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism, said the decision reflected "the will of most of the nation that seeks to safeguard the Western Wall's sanctity and status". Later, a ministerial committee also voted to advance a bill that would grant the Orthodox Chief Rabbinate a monopoly over Jewish conversion in Israel. Under the proposed legislation, the state would no longer be able to recognise conversions carried out by independent Orthodox rabbinical courts and would be prevented from recognising non-Orthodox conversions in the future. Critics said it could potentially affect hundreds of thousands of Israelis. On Monday morning, the Jewish Agency's board of governors announced that it had cancelled a scheduled dinner with Mr Netanyahu in light of both decisions. The board later passed a resolution warning that the "dangerous and damaging steps" had a "deep potential to divide the Jewish people". "We call upon the government of Israel to understand the gravity of its steps and reverse its course of action accordingly," it added. The United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York said the Israeli government's actions "would destroy the fundamental principle that Israel, our Jewish homeland, is a place where all Jews can and must feel at home". Women of the Wall (WOW), a liberal group that campaigns for the right of women to perform the same prayer rituals as Orthodox men there, said Sunday had been a "terrible day for women in Israel" and accused Mr Netanyahu of "kow-towing to a handful of religious extremists". Cabinet Secretary Tzachi Braverman later issued a statement stressing that it was important to Mr Netanyahu that "every Jew is able to pray at the Western Wall" and that he had issued three directives on Sunday which had "gone unnoticed". "First, the prime minister instructed that work to prepare the southern plaza be expedited so that Jews from all streams may pray at the Western Wall. Second, that Jews from all streams be able to continue praying there - as they are able to do today. Third, the prime minister instructed Minister Tzachi Hanegbi and me to continue dialogue in order to try and reach a solution," the statement said. "I recommend that those trying to exploit this issue be precise with the facts."

Irish are without a win since early February and welcome prop Tom Court and lock Will Lloyd back into the side that lost to Saracens in New Jersey. Gloucester make five changes from the side beaten by Worcester in their last Premiership game. Henry Trinder replaces David Halaifonua on the wing, while full-back Tom Marshall is set to make his debut. Callum Braley, who replaced Willi Heinz after just six minutes at Sixways last week, starts at scrum-half and Mariano Galarza and Lewis Ludlow return in the forwards in place of Tom Savage and Ross Moriarty. Irish's changes come at the expense of Tom Smallbone and Elliott Stooke, while scrum-half Brendan McKibbin is among the replacements following the Australian's recovery from a hamstring injury. London Irish assistant coach Grant Doorey told BBC Radio Berkshire: "This weekend, we know it's all about the points, we know it's all about winning. "The coaching, playing and off-field staff have done an exceptional job already to make sure we do everything we can to get the four or five points on offer against Gloucester. "It will be about us creating enough field position and pressure to make sure we then finish the opportunities that we're creating. "Maybe that will make Gloucester have to chase us a little bit." London Irish: Maitland; Lewington, Hearn, Williams, Ojo; Tonks, Steele; Court, Cruse, Aulika, Lloyd, Symons, Narraway (capt), Cowan, McCusker. Replacements: Paice, Smallbone, Halavatau, Sexton, Sinclair, McKibbin, Brophy Clews, Mulchrone.

The value of goods and services sold rose 4.3% from a month earlier to 92.1bn euros ($132bn, £82bn). Imports also rose by 3.7% - not enough to stop the country's trade surplus jumping from 10.8bn to 14.8bn euros. The export recovery largely reverses a 5.6% drop seen the month before, which had sparked concern that the post-recession trade bounce may have topped out, presaging an economic slowdown. Compared with a year earlier, exports were up 19.9%, while imports had risen 15.6%, according to official data from the Federal Statistics Office. "The upswing is still there," said Andreas Rees, economist at Italian bank Unicredit. "Companies are sitting on a mountain of backlogged orders... the general picture for exports remains intact." Economists expect the dynamism of the German export recovery to dissipate over coming months as demand from China and the US - particularly for engineering and investment goods - weakens. But the hope is that stronger demand from German consumers will take up the slack. The deal - with one of the airport's existing low-cost carriers - was finalised as Belfast hosted a major airline conference. It is believed will also create 50 new jobs. Details will be announced on Wednesday. About 1,200 people are attending the Routes Europe conference at the Waterfront Hall. Speaking at the event, airport chief executive Graham Keddie said: "We shook hands on it at the weekend." The three-day conference began on Sunday and brings together airline executives. Organisers believe it is "a brilliant opportunity" to showcase Northern Ireland's tourism sector. Ryanair, easyJet, Lufthansa, Air France and British Airways are among the many airlines taking part. In 2016, a record 7.8m passengers used Northern Ireland's airports. Growth has largely been driven by Ryanair who began operating from Belfast International last year. But expansion of long-haul routes has been challenging against the dominance of Dublin Airport. Around £1m is being spent hosting Routes Europe, with about half the money coming through Invest NI. Steven Small, brand director of Routes, said: "Northern Ireland is a business and tourism destination on the rise. "The demand for travel is increasing so there are significant route development opportunities for Europe's airlines." Villa's first-choice Jordan Amavi has been ruled out for the season with a serious knee injury. Cissokho, 28, who played under Villa boss Remi Garde at Lyon, made only three appearances for Porto. He played 27 times for Villa last season but made his final appearance in former boss Tim Sherwood's first game. Villa have won just one of their 16 Premier League games this season and are bottom with six points, eight adrift of safety. The visitors were grateful to keeper Wes Foderingham for three fine saves before Kenny Miller's brace and a third from Joe Dodoo clinched a 3-0 victory. It ended second-place Aberdeen's run of 10 consecutive home wins. "I can describe the game with two words - organisation and sacrifice," said Caixinha after a second win in charge. "I think the team understood perfectly well the opponents that they were facing and what they needed to do throughout the match. "When it was needed to suffer, the team knew when to suffer, especially in the first 15 or 20 minutes in the second half. "We needed to make decisions at that moment because Aberdeen were taking risks and exposing their two full-backs and we knew the time to exploit the space they were conceding. "I am glad the game went and finished how it did." Victory revived Rangers' hopes of catching the Dons in second spot, with six games left - including another against Aberdeen - to come. "We knew we had still two more games against Aberdeen," Caixinha added. "We have now won the first one but if we don't continue winning before the next game then maybe things will be different. "That is what we need to do, keep winning and then beat them again but our focus is always on our next match and now we will have to look right away at our next opponent on Saturday." Rangers host Partick Thistle on 15 April before a Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic on 23 April. The post-split Premiership fixtures will be announced early this week. The double Paralympic champions put in a dominant performance on Friday to win their first race since Rio. Crystal Lane then won silver in the time-trial, while Saturday saw Craig McCann win silver in the road race. GB struggled on Sunday and failed to add any further medals. The team will now head to the second round of the Para-cycling Road World Cup season in Ostend, Belgium next weekend as they continue to build towards the Para-cycling Road World Championships in South Africa in September. The squad for Belgium will be announced on Tuesday. Emergency services were called to the scene, in Kirkwood Street, Rutherglen, at about 16:15 on Tuesday 23 August. The two-year-old boy was taken to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he is still believed to be in a stable condition. A police spokeswoman said a 29-year-old man had been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with the incident. The attacks targeted restaurants in Qamishli, near the border with Turkey, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). At least one of the blasts was a suicide attack, the Observatory said. So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it was behind several attacks in Kurdish areas in recent weeks. "Three explosions, one by a suicide bomber inside a restaurant, hit Qamishli city in Hasakeh province," SOHR director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP news agency. An IS-linked news agency, Amaq, said the group carried out the bombings. Qamishli, in Syria's north-east, serves as a base for the YPG - a Kurdish militia fighting against IS. The city is under shared control of YPG and regime forces. According to the SOHR, all three explosions happened in a zone controlled by the government. The YPG is working in conjunction with the US-led air offensive against IS. In October, the militia joined a new US-backed ground alliance, the Democratic Forces of Syria. The alliance launched an offensive against IS in the north-eastern province of Hasaka that month, while Kurdish forces in Iraq seized the town of Sinjar from the jihadist group. Special Report: The Technology of Business Connecting India's offline millions The world's fastest ambulance When does an app need regulating? 'Air' plastic and mushroom cushions Health tech start-ups go the long way Then a friend suggested a handheld anti-anxiety device."I was keen to give it a try, but was not convinced it would be of benefit to me," she says. The biosensor device, called Pip, is gripped between the thumb and forefinger, looks a bit like a small iPod, and measures sweat and electrodermal activity associated with stress levels. People working to manage their anxiety can then play a number of games like Relax & Race, where relaxing confers a competitive advantage. "After a couple of days," says Miss Philips, "I had stopped taking relaxing medication, which I had been relying on due to anxiety. "This was a surprise to me. It was a great tool for helping to slow down your body and mind, a great substitution for relaxing medicine." Pip is among a batch of new stress-management gadgets. It is produced by a Dublin start-up called Galvanic, with Trinity College Dublin psychology professor Ian Robertson as chair of its scientific advisory board. The device, which connects by Bluetooth with smart devices, was originally researched and patented in 2007, but the company did not survive Ireland's downturn. Some 10.4 million days are lost annually to work-related stress in the UK, according to the Health and Safety Executive. The World Health Organization says it costs businesses in the US $300bn (£187bn; €237bn) a year. Mindfulness - meditation practices found to have an impact on anxiety, by focusing on the present moment - is newly in vogue, with an all-party parliamentary group last month recommending all new NHS medical and teaching staff be given training in it. A higher-tech take on mindfulness, Pip is designed for users to pick up and make an effort at managing their stress, through instant biofeedback to learn what techniques work best, says Galvanic's chief executive David Ingram. Another approach is wearable technology - such as Insight, part of the redLoop project and designed at Middlesex University. Project director Dr Andy Bardill says, "[Anxiety has] various different parameters to it, some of which are measurable and can be indicated by reliable biomarkers, while others are more qualitative, more patient dependent." Skin conductivity - tied to how much you sweat - is a biomarker of stress, part of the fight-or-flight response, but also goes down when there is high humidity, or up when you go up stairs. "Getting baseline data is important: it could be it's gone down because you've done exercise or you're unwell, not because you're anxious,' says Dr Bardill. Insight features wristbands, heartbeat monitors, and an iPhone app. With a log of when and where every heartbeat of a person takes place, Dr Bardill says analysing the data requires "episodic analysis, essentially data analytics used in the intelligence community". Another wearable device, designed in Canada, is a headband called Muse. "It's clinical grade EEG (electroencephalography, recording brain electrical activity) in this slim, sleek little consumer form factor," says Ariel Garten, a psychotherapist and chief executive of InteraXon, which developed the device. With it, a person can track their brain activity in real time on a smartphone or tablet, and practise focused attention. "It's like mindfulness on hyperdrive," she says. Stress tech has been bolstered by the ready availability of smart devices, to which devices like Pip, Insight and Muse can connect by Bluetooth. A different approach invokes another recent trend, social networking. Jennifer Hyatt founded Big White Wall, an anonymous social network to support people in managing mental health. Half its members use the site to relieve anxiety. She began the website after the suicide of a friend's partner, believing technology offered support and recovery tools, carrying no shame or stigma. At the top tier, the website provides a secure Skype-like platform, where a member can deal with an issue directly with a clinician. In middle levels, there is a course on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for managing anxiety. At lower levels, members may write on "bricks", set up groups, anonymously befriend others, and track themselves against measures such as GAD 7, a self-administered Generalised Anxiety Disorder assessment. Ms Hyatt says Big White Wall has 4,500 active users in any month. Initially, 40% were under 25; now, the largest group is 35 to 44-year-olds, with over 55s increasing fast. Syed Abrar is the man behind Buddy, a mobile phone-based platform. "It can be a £10 supermarket throwaway - as long as it sends texts, you can use Buddy," he says. Texting is discreet, says Mr Abrar. People may not have pens to hand and might need to explain keeping a physical diary, but texting "allows soldiers to keep their game face on, or you can be sat in a pub, or with parents, and can send stuff and capture feelings in a contemporaneous way". Users receive texts from Buddy asking how they feel and what they are doing, and later can see links between what they were doing and how they felt - and "manage their own journey of recovery". One challenge in evaluating new stress tech devices is the different speed of private technology development versus publicly funded research. Dr Lisa Marzano, senior psychology lecturer at Middlesex University, says, "Academia, funding bodies, and research councils work at a very different, much slower pace than the field of computing." Accordingly, researchers still know relatively little about the effectiveness of new stress tech, or users' experiences in everyday life, or integrating into existing mental health interventions. "When you have something that's evolving so quickly, it's really hard to measure its impact before it evolves yet again," adds Sarah Amani from the Oxford Academic Health Science Network. A related challenge is identifying good developers. There is a conference next month on frameworks to evaluate mental health apps, shy of large clinical trials, hosted by MindTech, a technology co-operative founded by the Nottinghamshire NHS Trust and University of Nottingham. Dr Jen Martin, MindTech project manager, counts roughly 5,000 apps aimed at mental health and wellbeing, and says, "A lot of those, while they might not be particularly damaging, might not be particularly helpful." But experts also recognise the potential for stress tech to reach people in need at a time of cutbacks and waiting lists. The availability of devices, a rapid increase in scope and evolution, it's enough to give you a headache. Or maybe, perhaps, make it feel a bit better. Investors offloaded technology companies, already under pressure following a shaky outlook from Apple, as well as consumer stocks such as cruise lines. There were also disappointing results from Boeing, whose shares fell almost 9%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 1.4% lower at 15,944 points. The S&P 500 dropped 1.1% to 1,882 points, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.2% to 4,468 points. Shares in Apple fell 6.5% after the technology giant reported only marginal growth for iPhone sales. Shares in aircraft maker Boeing suffered their biggest one-day loss in 14 years after saying that revenue and deliveries could fall in 2016. Boeing shares ended $11.40 lower at $116.61. Facebook shares closed down almost 3%, but soared more than 12% in after-hours trading after more than doubling profits for the last three months of 2015. US crude rose 2.7% to close at $32.30 a barrel in New York, while Brent crude jumped 4.1% to $31.10 a barrel in London. Oil prices also increased about 4% on Tuesday. The US central bank said it was "closely monitoring" global economic conditions, but would not raise interest rates. It did so for the first time in almost a decade last month. Since the Fed took action in December, oil has plunged, stock markets have swung wildly and investors have become more concerned that China's huge economy - a major driver of global growth - is losing momentum. The Fed said US growth had slowed as exports fell because of the strong dollar. The 26-year-old Belgium international damaged medial knee ligaments during Tuesday's pre-season friendly draw with Slavia Prague. "It's really disappointing for Dedryck," said assistant coach Chris Davies. "But no doubt he will do the work he has to do in rehab and come back even stronger and better." Boyata joined the Scottish champions from Manchester City in the summer of 2015, signing a four-year deal. He made 22 appearances for Celtic last season, scoring five goals, as Brendan Rodgers' side completed an unbeaten domestic clean sweep. "The timeline that the medical team are looking at is up to three months but we are always optimistic and we will see what we can do," added Davies as the squad prepared to travel for Saturday's friendly against Shamrock Rovers. Boyata will miss Celtic's Champions League qualifying campaign but Davies was coy on whether it meant the club would be looking to bring in a new central defender. "It's something that we will discuss," he said. "We will see what needs to be done. "We want to retain the players we have got here at the minute, we are happy with what we have got. If the right player becomes available and we can do the right business for the club, then we will look at that." Adam Rooney shot Aberdeen into an early lead but Iain Vigurs levelled soon after following an Ash Taylor mistake. Taylor was then harshly penalised for a high challenge on Ross Draper, with Greg Tansey tucking away the spot-kick. The unfortunate Taylor then touched the ball on for Carl Tremarco to head in a third before the Dons had two penalty claims rejected. The end of Aberdeen's 12-game unbeaten run leaves Derek McInnes' side three points behind Premiership leaders Celtic, who have a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference. Media playback is not supported on this device The Dons were looking for their first win over Inverness in three attempts this season and made a strong start. Former Caley Thistle defender Graeme Shinnie drove in from the left and thundered in a shot which Owain Fon Williams touched onto the bar without Willie Collum noticing. It was not the last time the referee would upset the visitors. Moments later, however, Craig Storie burned through the home defence with a fabulous driving run and provided a lovely weighted pass for Rooney to slam home via a flick off defender Danny Devine. Then came the first of Taylor's errors and the game was all square. Liam Polworth tried to thread a ball in to Miles Storey but Taylor was always getting there first, only for the defender's clumsy touch to allow Vigurs to tuck the ball home home with a composed finish. Aberdeen's Niall McGinn curled a free kick wide of the target before Tremarco nodded wide from close range after a corner squeezed through a cluster of players to reach him at the back post. The visitors' plans were disrupted when they lost winger Jonny Hayes with what looked like a hamstring injury and they were relieved when Tansey, a target for Aberdeen in the transfer window, blasted a curling free-kick narrowly away from the top corner. Tansey hit the net six minutes into the second half with a cool spot-kick after the game exploded into life with a controversial decision from Collum. Draper executed a one-two and got the slightest touch on the ball as both he and Taylor raised their feet high in the air, with the home player then crashing to the turf without any apparent contact. Aberdeen were rattled by the decision and by the hosts' fierce pressing. Rooney attempted an overhead kick from close range but could not connect properly. Maximum points and a place in the top half of the table were secured for Inverness when the impressive Miles Storey dinked a ball into the six-yard box and a stretching Taylor could only steer the ball towards Tremarco, who nodded home at the back post. Collum's assistant initially flagged for offside but was correctly overruled by the man in the middle. Dons duo Shinnie and Taylor felt they should have had penalties after going to ground in a frantic finish but Inverness, who played with a vigour that has been missing for much of the season, held on for a deserved victory. Middlesbrough's Adam Clayton and Northampton's Ricky Holmes were the victims of the blunders, which came just days after the PFA said its team of the year selections had been "deliberately leaked". To top it off, an image was shared widely on Twitter that appeared to show Tottenham's match programme for Monday's game with West Brom including a reference to Dele Alli being named young player of the year - hours before the award was presented. Mahrez wins PFA Player of the Year award Analysis: 'I voted for Vardy but Mahrez deserves it' Media playback is not supported on this device Middlesbrough midfielder Clayton was among those chosen by his fellow players for the Championship team of the year, but below his name in the official brochure was a biography of Arsenal Ladies and England forward Danielle Carter. Clayton saw the funny side, and tweeted to thank his supporters among fans of Arsenal Ladies. Another printing error saw Northampton midfielder Holmes, who played for the England C semi-professional team, confused with Walsall's Romaine Sawyers, who represents St Kitts and Nevis. Holmes was named in the League Two team of the year while Sawyers was in the League One line-up. Holmes' team-mate Adam Smith was quickly onto Twitter to highlight the error: Holmes, meanwhile, was simply left feeling confused... Prior to the night's big winners being named, former England striker Stan Collymore posted a tweet that read "Mahrez and Alli. No complaints here". He followed up by posting an image of what appeared to be a copy of Tottenham's next match-day programme, in which Alli's PFA success was referenced prior to it being announced. Days before the awards ceremony, the PFA was forced to unveil its teams of the year for the top four English leagues and the Women's Super League early after details were leaked. It blamed a member of the public for choosing "to deliberately leak our representative teams from the official brochure of the awards evening". It added: "As a matter of urgency, we are seeking a detailed explanation from the brochure printers as to how they were able to secure a copy of the publication." And there seems to have been another error in the PFA process after 12 players were named in the Championship team of the season. A report claims a "breakdown in communication" at the organisation led to both Hull's Michael Dawson and Middlesbrough's Daniel Ayala being told they had made the team after receiving an equal number of votes. The five-year-old, from Blackhall Colliery near Hartlepool, won December's goal of the month award and was recently a mascot at Everton. Bradley was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013 and his mother says he has only months to live. Last year £700,000 was raised for him and treatment has now begun in hospital in a bid to prolong his life. Everton pledged £200,000 to the cause in September, when Bradley was mascot for Sunderland's home fixture with the Toffees at the Stadium of Light.

Police said the offences took place at the former Thorold Road children's home which closed in 2009. Jones is due to be sentenced later in the year. Lying between New Zealand and Hawaii, Tokelau has few physical links with the wider world. There is no airport and it takes more than a day at sea to reach its southern neighbour, Samoa. Most of the 1,500 islanders live by subsistence farming. Thousands have chosen to leave, usually for New Zealand or Samoa. The latter has a similar culture and language. Earmarked by the UN as a territory where it wants to encourage greater independence, Tokelauans have twice voted to retain their colonial status. Tokelau's main industry is fishing but it also generates income from the use of its internet domain name as one of the countries offering free registration. New Zealand is the territory's main budget provider and has sought to allay fears that it will abandon the atolls should Tokelau favour autonomy. Like other low-lying Pacific territories, Tokelau is said to be at risk from rising sea levels. It is also vulnerable to tropical cyclones. Population 1,200 Area 12 sq km (4.7 sq miles) Major languages Tokelauan, English Major religion Christianity Life expectancy 68 years (men), 70 years (women) Currency New Zealand dollar Head of state: Queen Elizabeth II Head of government: Aliki Faipule Afega Gaualofa Political leadership revolves around three Faipule, or village heads, who take it in turns to oversee a cabinet - the Council for Ongoing Government - for a year. Aliki Faipule Afega Gaualofa took up the rotating post of Ulu or titular head of government in March 2016. The General Fono, an assembly of elected delegates, handles local legislative affairs. It is also responsible for the territory's budget. Each atoll has a Taupulega, or Council of Elders. Tokelau is a non-self-governing territory and has been administered by New Zealand since 1926. The Administrator of Tokelau is appointed by the New Zealand government and is responsible for supervising the government of the territory. Each atoll operates an FM community radio station, carrying shipping news, weather reports and music. The stations are: Radio Atafu FM; Radio Fakaofo FM; and Radio Nukunonu FM. The outlets are overseen by the Council for Ongoing Government. Yet the Notting Hill Carnival, with its vivid costumes, pulsating rhythms and endless dancing, consistently proves popular with families. BBC News looks at five ways parents can keep their children entertained at what organisers claim is Europe's biggest street carnival. Watch the Parade The most obvious thing to do and the main reason so many people descend on the area year after year. With its child-friendly atmosphere, Sunday is designated as Family Day as children join the parade route around Notting Hill. Among the groups performing this year are Batala London who featured in the BBC's Olympic coverage. For young world music fans there's also a stage at Powis Square featuring calypso and soca performances, plus 38 sound systems tucked away in the side streets. But be warned - visitors are advised to arrive early, leave the pram at home, and most important of all - bring ear protection for the little ones. Get covered in chocolate For those families who get up even earlier, there's the chance of joining Jouvert. This lively procession sees performers throwing paint, chocolate and flour over each other to the accompaniment of steel bands, riddim bands and African drummers. Its name is taken from the French "jour ouvert", or "open of the day", and marks the beginning of the festivities. The parade begins at Canal Way in Ladbroke Grove at 06:00 BST at the start of Family Day. Feel the steel The night before the performers hit the streets, it's the turn of the steel bands at the Panorama. Bands from across the country descend on Emslie Horniman Park as they compete to be crowned National Champions of Steel. The event, which has been going on since 1978, is free and begins at 18:00 BST. Another recommendation for any pre-parade attendees are the music heats where performers compete for a place on a float. Head to the park If you get tired of being part of the throngs on the street, families can always retreat to Emslie Horniman Park during the parade. In previous years family workshops with stalls like face painting have been held, although the organisers have not confirmed what will be happening there this year. Another spot recommended for a respite is the small park stretching along the canal between the top of Golborne Road and Westbourne Park Tube station. It has grassy areas and ducks to feed but is also close to the start of the parade route so you won't miss out on the carnival atmosphere. Indulge in some jerk chicken Another iconic part of the carnival is the street food, with hundreds of food stalls lining the streets. Just be careful with those spices. Carnival regular Tamsin Daniel explains how she keeps her kids entertained at the event: "Eat jerk chicken, dance your socks off, embrace the madness! "Don't be afraid if you're taking kids, just stay on the outside of heavy crowds. "Golborne Road is our limit and favourite part to get some food, find some music and enjoy the festival fun. "We always get the children a whistle." The Notting Hill Carnival takes place from 28 to 29th August from 10:00 to 20:00 BST. Jean Germain, the ex-mayor of Tours, was accused of illegally profiting from a business that arranged for Chinese tourists to renew their wedding vows against historic backdrops in the city. The 67-year-old left a "goodbye letter" denying the charges. His death has sent shock through France's political circles. President Francois Hollande expressed sadness, while Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he had "lost a friend", saying Mr Germain had "hugely changed" the city of Tours. The trial was suspended on Tuesday after Mr Germain failed to attend. The former mayor was found dead near to his home, according to reports. Police sources were quoted as saying the death was believed to be suicide. In a letter given to media outlets (in French) by his lawyer, Mr Germain said the charges were "unbearable" and politically motivated. "I have never defrauded the city for a single cent, nor made myself rich, and I have always worked for what I believed was in the best interests of the people of Tours," he wrote. Hundreds of Chinese couples flocked to Tours on the wedding packages between 2007 and 2011. The owner of the private company that organised the trips was arrested in 2013 and stands accused of embezzlement. Lise Han allegedly ran the company at the same time as working at the City Hall in Tours on tourism issues. The trips did not include a real wedding ceremony but couples travelled long distances for these "romantic wedding" packages and were photographed in wedding attire in beautiful locations, including the Tours City Hall. The mayor even posed with the couples in his full official dress. He was accused of complicity in illegal kickbacks and embezzlement of public funds. Mr Germain said he was in the dark about Ms Han's "lies and manipulations" but admitted he had made mistakes by failing to detect the scheme. The Farne Islands are home to up to 40,000 breeding pairs, but storms and torrential rain in 2015 meant chick productivity almost halved. As the birds return from wintering in the North Atlantic, there are hopes for a more successful breeding season. The islands are also home to seals, Arctic terns, guillemots, and shags. The National Trust, which manages the Farne Islands, describes them as the "jewel in its wildlife crown". Ranger Lana Blakely said: "Last year we had a lot of storms and torrential downpours and a lot of burrows flooded, which is really bad for the chicks and eggs as it means they will fail. "We had a much lower rate of chicks fledging than we did the previous year, it was nearly half, so quite a big drop. "Hopefully this year will be much better, just fingers crossed with the weather." After a goalless first half, Gillingham opened the scoring on 67 minutes as Bournemouth loanee Joe Quigley scored his first league goal. But five minutes later Morison struck from close range to earn a point, one that saw Millwall climb into sixth as Southend lost at Charlton. The most notable act of the first half came when a coin appeared to be thrown from the end the Millwall fans were sat as former player Lee Martin prepared to take a corner. However, the deadlock was broken on 67 minutes after a Cody McDonald header from a Martin corner was saved by Tom King, with Quigley on hand to smash in the rebound. The Lions equalised five minutes later, however, after Jed Wallace's shot was saved into the path of Morison, who made no mistake to net his first goal since 4 February.

A Great Britain team comprising club cricketers from Devon and Somerset took on the French Athletic Club Union, a side composed almost entirely of British expatriates living in France. The two teams were the only entrants in the competition after Dutch and Belgian opponents withdrew, and played in front of only a reported dozen or so British servicemen at the Velodrome de Vincennes cycling arena, a stadium capable of seating up to 20,000 spectators. Not surprisingly, cricket's Olympic debut was also its swansong. But the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) is hoping to restore cricket's place on the Olympic roster. A place at the greatest sporting party on the planet would help develop the game globally and particularly in China, according to its world cricket committee. The concept of an Olympic cricket competition, along with the global use of the Decision Review System (DRS) and pink balls for day/night Test matches, was discussed at a presentation on Tuesday. The panel included former England captain Michael Vaughan and captain of the England women's team Charlotte Edwards. "The committee subsequently discussed the possibilities of cricket becoming an Olympic sport and believes this may be an important route for developing the game around the world and particularly in China," a statement read. But what are the chances of cricket following the likes of golf and rugby sevens and gaining a presence at the Olympic Games? "I can totally imagine cricket as an Olympic sport," says Rodney Miles, the former chairman of the Hong Kong Cricket Club (HKCC) who addressed the MCC on the subject this week. "The president of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, has said he wants cricket in the Olympics. He makes the obvious connection that it is a huge televised worldwide sport. Logically, why isn't it part of the Games?" Rogge offered his support for the inclusion of a shorter form of the game in June 2011, a year after the IOC recognised the International Cricket Council (ICC) as an official global sporting body. "We would welcome an application," Rogge, a self-confessed cricket supporter, acknowledged. "It's an important, popular sport and very powerful on television. It's a sport with a great tradition." The ICC's then chief executive Haroon Lorgat subsequently lent his support to an internal report that could consider an application to introduce Twenty20 as an Olympic discipline as soon as - fittingly enough - the 2020 summer Games. "We have never had a format that would lend itself to playing in the Olympics until Twenty20 came to the fore," Lorgat said in January. "We are starting to have a look at that." In China cricket is seen as a minority sport. Why are they not in the World Cup? Key to any Olympics introduction would be increasing the number of participating nations, according to Miles, for whom increasing China's role in world cricket is a passion. "It's natural to think of this after London 2012," he said. "It would be a way of broadening the sport internationally so more countries play. "We've got to get, like football, 32 countries participating, and China would qualify easily. Cricket is a world sport, not just for 10." Miles points to the inclusion of cricket in the 2010 Asian Games as an example of its global growth. Held in Guangzhou, China, Twenty20 was one of 42 sports at the Games, the gold going to Bangladesh and silver to Afghanistan. Full ICC members Pakistan and Sri Lanka sent understrength sides and India did not compete, but nations as new to the sport as Japan, Nepal and Maldives did participate. For Miles - whose presentation to the MCC at Lord's on Tuesday was entitled: 'The greatest opportunity for cricket ever. 1.3bn people, the world's number one power. A cricket country' - an Olympic appearance for cricket in 2020 could prove a breakthrough moment for the sport in the potentially lucrative Far East market. "In China cricket is seen by many as a minority sport, which is what you have to overcome, hence the Olympics," he said. "That's the issue, to get more people to watch and understand the game. "Why are they not in the World Cup or the Olympics? They should be there. That's what life's about for sportspeople." With luck, there will be more in attendance to see those games than the few who managed to catch the sport's one Olympic appearance to date. But whether they could be treated to a more exciting game is another matter. The two-day 12-a-side match of 1900, though something of a shambles, did reach a thrilling climax. Great Britain opened the batting on Sunday 19 August and made a first innings total of 117. France responded with a first innings of 78. Britain then made 145-5 on the second day before declaring and chasing the win. They reduced their French opposition to 11-10 chasing 185, at which point France dug in and attempted to play out time for the draw. They succeeded for most of the day, the 11th wicket falling with just five minutes of the match remaining. At close of play France were awarded bronze medals for their efforts and Great Britain silver medals and miniature models of the Eiffel Tower. In eight years' time, Great Britain could be chasing gold. Mr Mugabe, 92, was arriving back in the country at the main airport in Harare and appeared jovial as he disembarked. Flight data had suggested his plane was heading to East Asia but that it instead went to Dubai. Mr Mugabe said he had gone there for a family matter. In May, Mr Mugabe's wife, Grace, said that he would rule from the grave. The flight path and other rumours had led some to speculate that Mr Mugabe had suffered a serious health problem and had sought treatment in Dubai or had even succumbed to his illness. The Southern Daily website had posted an article headlined "Robert Mugabe suffers stroke, Mnangagwa now the new interim President of Zimbabwe". Emmerson Mnangagwa is the country's vice-president. But Reuters news agency said that on arriving at Harare Mr Mugabe had told reporters in the local Shona language: "I had gone on a family matter to Dubai concerning one of my children. "Yes, I was dead, it's true I was dead. I resurrected as I always do. Once I get back to my country I am real." Mr Mugabe is expected to address a youth meeting later on Saturday. He has been in power since 1980 and has said he will run again for office in 2018. The country remains in political and economic turmoil, amid allegations of government corruption. The capital saw a wave of protests last week, with dozens arrested. Police on Thursday banned demonstrations in the capital for two weeks. Mr Mugabe has vowed to crack down on anti-government dissent. Athletes will take part in 22 Paralympic sports over the course of 11 days of competition. Each sport has different physical demands and so has its own set of classifications to decide which athletes can compete in each event. Here is Newsround's quick guide to the Paralympic sports that will be on show in Rio. Archery might sound simple on paper but it's definitely not easy. Competitors have to hit the centre of a target, known as the 'bull's eye', from a distance of 50m or 70m. Whether using their hands, mouth or feet, these athletes are living proof that there are no limits when the challenge is to hit the bull's eye. Archery is open to athletes with a physical disability and classification is broken up into three classes: ARW1: Wheelchair users with a disability in all four limbs. ARW2: Wheelchair users with full arm function. ARST (standing): Athletes who compete in a standing position and also those who need to use a stool for support because of poor balance. Athletics has been part of the Paralympic Games since the first edition in Rome, Italy, in 1960. The mission for athletes is always the same - to beat your opponents' performance, whether in running, jumping or throwing events. Nowhere else is the skill, strength, speed and courage of Paralympic athletes more on display than in athletics competition. Paralympics GB have some superstars going for gold too, including David Weir, Jonnie Peacock and Hannah Cockroft. All disability groups can compete in athletics but a system of letters and numbers is used to distinguish between them. A letter F is for field athletes, T represents those who compete on the track, and the number shown refers to their disability. 11-13: Track and field athletes who have problems with their eyesight. Blind athletes compete in class 11 and are blindfolded and run with a guide runner. Athletes in class 12 are visually impaired but may choose to run with a guide. 20: Track and field athletes who are intellectually disabled. There are three events for men and women in the Rio programme - 1500m, long jump and shot put. 31-38: Track and field athletes with cerebral palsy or other conditions that affect muscle co-ordination and control. Athletes in class 31-34 compete in a seated position; athletes in class 35-38 compete standing. 40: Track and field athletes with short stature, also known as dwarfism. 42-46: Track and field amputees. In class 42-44 the legs are affected and in class 45-46 the arms are affected. Athletes in these classes compete standing and do not use a wheelchair. T51-54: Wheelchair track athletes. Athletes in class 51-53 are affected in both lower and upper limbs. T54 athletes have some ability in their legs and trunk, which is the central part of the body that includes the chest, back and belly area. F51-58: Wheelchair field athletes. Athletes in F51-54 classes have limited shoulder, arm and hand functions and no trunk or leg function while F54 athletes have normal function in their arms and hands. In the F55-58 classes the trunk and leg function increases. Players must throw or roll their coloured balls as close as possible to a white target ball, called the jack, with the winner being the player or team with the most balls near the jack. Boccia is a game of strategy in which players show great skill and determination to overcome their impairments. Also, the sport is incredibly tense because one good, or bad, throw can change the outcome of the whole competition. Boccia is open to athletes with cerebral palsy - a condition that affects the way the brain communicates with a person's muscles - and other severe physical disabilities who compete from a wheelchair. The classification is split into four classes. BC1: Players with cerebral palsy who are able to use their hands or feet to consistently throw a ball into play. BC1 athletes may have a helper on court to pass them their ball before each shot. BC2: Players with cerebral palsy who are able to use their hands to consistently throw a ball into play and have greater functional ability than a BC1 athlete. BC3: Players with cerebral palsy or other disability, who are unable to throw or kick a ball into play and as such are allowed to use a device such as a ramp to throw the ball into play. They are supported by an assistant ("ramper") who adjusts the ramp on the instructions of the player. BC4: Players who do not have cerebral palsy but have another condition, which affects the movement in all four limbs, such as muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and tetraplegia. Canoe makes its Paralympic Games debut in Rio. Athletes in kayaks must complete a straight 200m course across calm waters in the fastest possible time. This is a chance to witness history being made as the first ever Canoe champions will be crowned at the Paralympic Games. Also, the races will take place at, arguably, the most beautiful sporting venue in Rio - Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Athletes compete in kayaks using a double blade paddle. These athletes all have a physical disability and are grouped into three sports classes. KL1: Athletes in this sports class have no or very limited trunk and no leg function. KL2: Athletes in this sports class have some trunk and leg function; they are able to sit upright in the kayak. Along with this, they will have limited leg movement during paddling. KL3: Athletes in this sports class have trunk and partial leg function, they are able to sit with trunk in forward position in the kayak and able to use at least one leg or prosthetic leg. Road cycling: On bicycles, tricycles, handbikes and tandems, athletes compete against each other in long-distance road races and against the clock in time trials. Track cycling: Cyclists compete to achieve the fastest times on a 250m track at the velodrome. Whether it's on the track or out on the road, this thrilling sport combines explosive speed and smart tactics. Oh, the Brits are very good on a bike too so expect meals! Cycling is open to amputees, 'les autres' (athletes whose disability does not fall under one of the other categories), athletes with cerebral palsy and visually impaired athletes, competing in individual road race and track events. Athletes with physical disabilities either compete on bicycles (road and track), handcycles or tricycles (road only). Visually impaired athletes compete on two-seater bicycles along with a guide who can see clearly. Handcycle sport classes H1-4: Cyclists in H1-3 compete in a leaning back position. H1 athletes have no trunk or leg function and limited arm function while H3 athletes have no leg function but good trunk and arm function. H4 athletes sit on their knees and use their arms and trunk. Tricycle T1-2: Races for athletes who are unable to ride a bicycle because of a condition affecting their balance and co-ordination, which is the ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly. Athletes in the T1 class have more serious co-ordination problems than T2 athletes. Bicycle C1-5: Cyclists may have a condition like cerebral palsy or have a leg or arm amputation. C1 athletes have the most severe limitation while C5 athletes meet the basic disability requirements. Para-dressage is the only event on the Paralympic programme. The rider must get the horse to perform c movements - such as steps, trots and canters - and freestyle routines choreographed to music. There are dancing horses! What else do we need to tell you?! Riders are not the only ones to get medals - horses are awarded too! Athletes are divided into five categories. The lower the class number, the greater the disability. Classes 1(a) and 1(b): Mainly wheelchair users, athletes with little trunk control and/or impairments in all four limbs or no trunk balance and good upper limb functions Class 2: Riders have a very limited ability in both lower limbs and a good trunk balance, or milder limitations in upper and lower limbs with reduced trunk control. Some use a wheelchair in daily life. Class 3: Typically athletes who can get around without assistance. Riders may have impairments in both arms or have no arms, or moderate impairments of all four limbs. This category also includes blind riders and those with conditions such as dwarfism. Class 4: Athletes with impairments in one or two limbs or some visual impairment 5-a-side: This version is adapted for people with eyesight problems. Outfield players must wear eye shades and the ball makes a sound that players can follow. Two teams try to outscore each other and are directed by their coach, guide and goalkeeper, who can see. 7-a-side: This version is adapted for players with cerebral palsy. Two teams of seven players try to put the ball in their opponent's goal, while defending their own. Technique, tough tackling and lots of goals - you will be blown away by the skills of the players, and thrilled by the attacking football. Seven-a-side football consists of players from the C5, C6, C7 and C8 divisions, rated according to limb control and co-ordination problems when running. All classes are made up of athletes who are able to walk about. The lower the class number, the greater the physical disability. At least one C5 or C6 class athlete must be on the field at all times and a team is not allowed to have more than two C8 players on the field. Goalball is played by athletes who are blind or have eyesight problems. Two teams of three players try to score points by throwing a ball at high speed into their opponent's goal at the other end of the court. Participants wear black-out masks to ensure everyone, whether blind or visually impaired, competes equally. The ball has bells inside it to help the players know where it is and, as a result, the game is played in total silence. Fast-paced sport that switches so quickly between attack and defence. The ball can reach speeds close to 60 miles per hour. There is no classification in this sport. Judo is contested by athletes with eyesight problems only. Competitors must try to throw their opponent onto the ground with their back on the floor, holding them on the ground for 20 seconds or force them to give up. The main difference is that athletes begin the bout holding each other rather than apart. Bouts are crammed full of throws, strength and drama. A judo player can turn a fight around in a second. There is no classification in this sport. Competitors are split into weight categories instead. Athletes compete to lift the heaviest weight whilst laying face upwards on a bench. Powerlifting is home to the world's strongest Paralympic athletes. Watch in amazement as very powerful people lift some very heavy weights. Powerlifting is open to all athletes with a physical disability and is classified by weight alone. Powerlifters competing at the Paralympics have disabilities in their lower limbs or hips, including paralysis, cerebral palsy and lower limb amputation. Both male and female competitors take part in 10 weight classes. Rowing boats across all events race over a straight 1000m course. The boat that crosses the finish line first is the winner. Rowing has it all - power, speed and nail-bitingly close finishes. The sport will also take place in Rio's beautiful lagoon called of Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Rowing is divided into four boat classes. AM1x: A fixed-seat single scull boat for men. Athletes have full movement in their arms only. AW1x: A fixed-seat single scull boat for women. Athletes have full movement in their arms only. TA2x: A two-person, mixed-gender scull for athletes with trunk (the central part of the body that includes the chest, back and belly area) and arm movement only. LTA4+: A two-male and two-female boat, plus a guide called a cox, with sliding seats. Open to athletes with an impairment but who have movement in the legs, trunk and arms. A boat can include a maximum of two visually impaired athletes who wear blindfolds during training and competition. Powered only by the wind, sailing boats crewed by athletes must make their way around a specially-designed course on the water faster than their opponents. All sailing events are mixed, with men and women competing together in the same races. The unpredictable weather conditions make sailing great to watch too. Sailing is a multi-disability sport where athletes from the amputee, cerebral palsy, visually impaired, wheelchair and 'les autres' (athletes whose disability does not fall under one of the other categories) groups can compete together. There are three sailing classes: the Sonar, which is a mixed three-person crew, the Skud-18, a mixed two-person class, and the 2.4mR event, which is single-crewed. Competitors are ranked according to a points system from one to seven, where low points are given to the severely disabled and high points for the less disabled. Each crew of three is allowed a maximum of 14 points between them. In the Skud-18 category, one sailor has a more severe level of disability while the other must have a minimum level of disability that prevents them competing on equal terms with able-bodied sailors. Single-handed sailors must have that same minimum level of disability. Competitors have to hit targets in order to score more points than their opponents. Shooting is the ultimate test of accuracy and nerves with men and women compete head-to-head under the same conditions. Shooters are divided into wheelchair and standing groups. These divisions are split into six smaller classes, each of which determines the type of equipment the competitor is allowed to use. SH1: For pistol and rifle competitors who do not require a shooting stand. SH2: For rifle competitors who have an upper limb disability and require a shooting stand. Teams, made up of six players, aim to hit a ball over a net and land it within the opposition's court. Teams have three passes before the ball has to go over the net. Sitting volleyball is one of the fastest and most exciting sports at the Paralympic Games. Expect a lot blocks and smashes at the net! Sitting volleyball is contested by athletes with a physical disability. There are two classes called Minimally Disabled (MD) and Disabled (D) and a team may only have one MD player on the court while the other five players have to be class D. One of the most recognisable sports at the Games, swimmers must complete a set distance inside the pool in the shortest possible time to win gold. British superstars Ellie Simmonds and Ollie Hynd will be looking to bag more Paralympic golds in the pool. Swimming is the only sport that combines the conditions of limb loss, cerebral palsy (co-ordination and movement restrictions), spinal cord injury (weakness or paralysis involving any combination of the limbs) and other disabilities (such as dwarfism) across classes. 1-10: Allocated to swimmers with a physical disability. The lower the number, the more severe the disability. 11-13: Allocated to swimmers with eyesight problems. 14: Allocated to swimmers with an intellectual disability. The letter S before a number represents the class for front crawl, backstroke and butterfly. SB is for breaststroke, and SM shows the class for individual medley. In any one class, swimmers may start with a dive or already in the water. Swimmers may have a classification that changes according to their event they're racing in. For example, it may switch between breaststroke and backstroke, according to the effect of their disability on the event in question. There's no difference to Olympic table tennis. Each player must use a bat to hit the ball over the net onto the opponent's side, and wins a point if the other player fails to return it. Quick-fire matches with players spinning and smashing the table tennis ball. Blink and you might miss a point in this fast-paced sport. Table tennis is played by athletes with a physical or intellectual disability divided into 11 classes. 1-5: Athletes competing from a wheelchair, with class one the most severely disabled and class five the least disabled. 6-10: Ambulant athletes, with class six the most severely disabled and class 10 the least. 11: Athletes with an intellectual disability. Athletes race to finish 750m of Swimming, 20km of Cycling followed by a final 5km run in the quickest time. Rio will see the first Paralympic champions crowned in the sport of triathlon. There will be three classes of events for men - PT1, PT2, and PT4: PT1: Para-triathletes in this class swim, cycle on a handbike and compete in a racing wheelchair for the run section. Athletes include those with, but not limited to, issues with muscle power, range of movement, leg amputations and spinal cord injuries. PT2: This sport class includes athletes with a severe movement disabilities. Amputees may use approved prostheses or supportive devices during the running and cycling stages. PT4: Athletes with less severe movement disabilities such as muscle power and missing limbs. Athletes may use approved prostheses or supportive devices during the running and cycling stages. Women will compete in the PT2 and PT4 as well as class PT5: PT5: Para-triathletes in this sport class have eyesight problems. They swim, ride a two-seater bicycle and run with a guide, who can see clearly. Two teams of five players in wheelchairs must try to score points by throwing the ball into the opposing team's basket as many times as possible before time runs out. These wheelchair warriors never fail to deliver exciting action. Tune in if you enjoy pin-point shooting, slick dribbling and incredible competitiveness. Basketball is open to wheelchair athletes, whose impairments may include paralysis below the waist, lower limb amputation and cerebral palsy. Athletes are classified according to physical ability and are given a points rating between one and 4.5. One point is for the most severe disability, 4.5 is the least. The five players on the court may not go over a total rating of 14 points at any time. Two rival fencers try to strike the target area on each other's body using a long blade, which does not have a sharp tip. It's packed full of skill, speed and accuracy. En garde! Fencing is open to wheelchair athletes, whose impairments may include spinal cord injuries, lower limb amputation and cerebral palsy and whose conditions stop them from competing against standing, able-bodied fencers. Athletes competing in this event are split into two classes. Category A: Athletes with good balance and recovery, and full trunk movement. Category B: Athletes with poor balance and recovery, but full use of one or both upper limbs. It might be called wheelchair rugby but this unique sport has more in common with basketball and handball. Two teams of four in specially-made wheelchairs pass a ball between them in a bid to cross the opponent's goal line to score. Full of action, bravery, skill and strength, wheelchair rugby is an exciting game to watch. Wheelchair rugby athletes are classified using a points system, with the most severely disabled athletes being graded at 0.5 points, rising to 3.5 points for the more able. Each team is made up of four players and is allowed a maximum of eight points on court at any one time. Using a racket, players must hit the ball over the net into their opponent's half of the court, scoring points if their rival does not manage to return it. Players are allowed two bounces of the ball, the first bounce being within the marked area of the court. If you are a tennis fan, you will love this! Players hit great shots whilst moving skilfully around the court in their wheelchairs. Tennis is played from a wheelchair with two classes - open and quad, where an athlete has a disability in three or more limbs. In the year 2013-14, just over a quarter (28%) of offenders were reconvicted within a year. Those released from short jail sentences - three months or less - were more likely to reoffend than those given longer prison terms or sentenced to community payback orders. The Scottish government said the figures were "encouraging". The biggest improvement on reoffending was for younger offenders. Over the past 10 years, the average number of reconvictions per offender dropped by nearly a third for offenders aged 21 to 25. On average, those who were sentenced to six months or less in prison were reconvicted twice as often as those given community payback orders, the most common type of community sentence. While the number of reconvictions for people on Drug Treatment and Testing Orders (DTTOs) rose last year, the rate has dropped by a third over the past 10 years. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "Today's figures show we are continuing to make good progress on tackling reoffending - a key goal of this government's justice strategy. "The continued fall in reconvictions is testament to the work done by our police, courts and other partners in communities across Scotland to prevent offending and, where crimes do occur, stop people going on to commit further offences." The justice secretary added: "I have set out my vision for a Scotland where people are held to account for their offending and are then given the opportunity to change their lives and become active members of society. "The evidence backs up our approach that robust community sentences, such as CPOs, are more effective at reducing reoffending than short custodial sentences." He added: "Today's statistics build on the strong work being done in Scotland's justice system, with recorded crime at a 41-year low, youth offending and knife crime down and an end to automatic early release for all long-term prisoners. "It is encouraging to see but we will not be complacent in our efforts to reduce crime even further." A club statement has asked fans to help the investigation by identifying who was responsible for the banner, which it described as "an embarrassment". It added that the sign was "insulting to many, including our opponent". Impact beat MLS Eastern Conference leaders and Canadian rivals Toronto 1-0 with a 73rd-minute Ignacio Piatti goal. Montreal supporters reported the banner to Toronto officials on social media, with the club responding that the sign was "not OK by any means". "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," he told People magazine. "I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time." Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from Pitt, 52, citing irreconcilable differences on Monday. Her lawyer, Robert Offer, said the decision had been made "for the health of the family". It is understood Jolie is seeking physical custody of the couple's six children and asking the judge to give Pitt visitation rights. Speculation is mounting over the causes behind the split, with one newspaper claiming Jolie was "upset with Pitt's parenting skills". Ms Jolie's long-time manager Geyser Kosinski told E! Online: "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family." Madame Tussauds in London marked the split by announcing on Twitter that its mannequins of the pair have been separated. Twlight actor Robert Pattinson appears to have been placed between them. Pitt and Jolie - nicknamed "Brangelina" by fans - married in 2014, 10 years after meeting on the set of 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith. It was Pitt's second marriage, having previously wed Friends star Jennifer Aniston, and Jolie's third after actors Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller. Singer Adele is among those to comment on the split, dedicating a concert in New York on Tuesday to the Hollywood couple. The 28-year-old told an audience at Madison Square Garden she had been "shocked" by the news and that it felt "like the end of an era". Jon Voight, Jolie's actor father, also expressed sadness, saying whatever caused the split "must have been pretty severe". George Clooney, who worked with Pitt on Ocean's Eleven and its sequels, expressed surprise when asked about the matter. "I feel very sorry to hear that," he told reporters at a United Nations event. "It's an unfortunate story about a family." Billy Bob Thornton, however, made no comment at a Hollywood event honouring actress Kathy Bates on Tuesday. The actor, who was married to Jolie from 2000 to 2003, left quickly afterwards, avoiding questions from waiting reporters. Pitt and Jolie most recently worked together on 2015 film By the Sea, a relationship drama about a couple trying to repair their marriage.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said an engine on the Easyjet flight had struck a bird. On its website, Easyjet apologised to passengers for its flight returning to its airport of departure "due to birds hitting your plane". The aircraft has landed at Inverness with fire crews on standby as a precaution. The crew was forced to turn the aircraft back to the Highlands airport shortly after taking off. An Easyjet spokesman said: "The pilot returned to Inverness in line with our procedures and as a precaution only. "All passengers disembarked normally and Easyjet is positioning in a replacement aircraft to fly passengers to Gatwick. Passengers are being provided with information and refreshment vouchers in the terminal. "We would like to apologise for any inconvenience as a result of the delay. "The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is Easyjet's highest priority."

Are e-cigarettes a good thing as an option for smokers trying to kick their habit? Or are there potential dangers to users and others which might only become apparent after years more research? Some smoking cessation experts swear by them; others want nothing to do with them. Now a European Union directive has added a new dimension to the debate. On 20 May the updated EU Tobacco Products Directive took effect. For the first time, e-cigarettes will be included in its scope. They contain nicotine but the vapour, produced by heating a flavoured liquid, is said by Public Health England and other authorities to be much safer to inhale than tobacco smoke. There has been political scrutiny on the issue, with a House of Lords motion tabled calling for the directive to be set aside in the UK. According to the EU briefing notes on the inclusion of e-cigarettes, "their long-term effects on public health are not yet known. "As nicotine is an addictive and toxic substance, safety and quality requirements for nicotine-containing e-cigarettes are necessary." The directive bans liquid used in these products in bottles larger than 10ml and storage tanks attached to the devices larger than 2ml. There are also limits on the nicotine concentration. Online advertising will be barred. The logic is that people who are not e-cig users need greater protection if they come into contact with the devices, for example children who might accidentally spill or swallow the fluid. Beryl Keeley of the Medical and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, which is responsible for implementing the directive, explains the logic behind it: "There are potential risks from the exposure of the products to children who may suffer from toxicity and overdose," she says, and there is a need to ensure that "people have available information so they can make an informed choice - the directive also sets minimum standards of quality and safety". But some have questioned why e-cigarettes should be included in a tobacco products directive when they don't contain tobacco. Manufacturers such as Totally Wicked, based in Blackburn, say the new regulations will hit their business hard. The company's managing director Fraser Cropper, who tried and failed to get the new rules thrown out by the European court, says consumers will be the losers: "Our business will change dramatically. We will no longer be able to sell a range of products we are currently able to sell. It will constrain significantly the range of fluids we sell to our customers." The regulations will require the company and others to submit designs for new products for approval six months before their launch. Fashions change quickly, says Mr Cropper, and in that time overseas imports which don't comply with the rules will fill the gap in the market. Some public health experts believe that reducing choice in the e -cigarette market might push people back to tobacco. At a clinic in Leicester, smokers are encouraged to try e-cigarettes along with other products like nicotine gum to help them move away from tobacco. Louise Ross, managing of the Leicester Stop Smoking Service, is concerned about how some will react to e-cigarettes with lower nicotine content: "I think the risk is that they will go back to smoking if they can't get the satisfaction from the strong enough liquid and big enough tanks - they may well go back to smoking because it's so much easier to buy cigarettes. They're always there." Some anti-smoking campaigners are comfortable with the EU directive. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of Ash, said: "Our research shows that most vapers use less nicotine than the limit set in the new EU regulations and are likely to have to refill their devices no more than a couple of times a day. Concerns that the EU regulations would force the products most vapers use off the market seem to have been overstated." The debate over e-cigs is far from over. Some argue we don't know enough about the health impact of e-cigs so it's too early to give them a green light. Others say too much regulation will damage the drive to get more people to give up smoking. The 25-year-old Frenchman will now remain at the Amex Stadium until the end of the 2020-21 campaign. Knockaert, who joined the Seagulls in January 2016 from Belgian side Standard Liege, has scored 11 goals in 33 appearances this season. "Anthony has been an integral member of the squad since his arrival," boss Chris Hughton told the club website. "This new contract recognises the hard work and relentless effort he has given to the team." The case had twisted and turned across several weeks, with Lord Burns finally ruling that Mr Coulson had no case to answer on the charge brought by the Crown. This was Scotland's first perjury trial for five years - the first since the Tommy Sheridan trial in 2010, which was where the allegations against Mr Coulson originated. The 47-year-old was accused of committing perjury when he denied knowing about phone hacking at the paper prior to the arrest of his royal editor Clive Goodman and Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator, in August 2006. But when it came down the issue which decided his trial, it didn't matter what Mr Coulson knew and when; it didn't even matter whether he had really broken his sworn oath to tell "the truth and nothing but the truth" or not. It was the definition of perjury itself which saw the case thrown out. The background to the trial stretched back almost 10 years, to a defamation action brought against Mr Coulson's News of the World paper by former Scottish Socialist politician Tommy Sheridan. Mr Sheridan won £200,000 at the civil proceedings in 2006, but was later charged with lying under oath when he testified that he had not visited a Manchester swingers club - the subject of a series of stories in the Sunday red-top. He stood trial at the High Court in Glasgow, was convicted and was jailed. Mr Coulson's perjury case hinged on evidence given by the former newspaper editor - then the director of communications for the Westminster government - when he was called as a witness during that trial and questioned about phone hacking. No reference could be made in court to the fact Mr Coulson was jailed in 2014 for conspiracy to hack phones. The jury was was told to put any preconceptions out of their mind and key witnesses warned not to refer to previous proceedings. One landmark feature of the case was that for the first time, the use of "live text based communications" was permitted from within a Scottish courtroom throughout a trial, allowing reporters to tweet live from the court. This raised challenges of its own - the notoriously spotty signal coverage in court three being one; crafting legally safe, fair reporting within a scant 140 characters at a time being another. However, the most vital exchanges of the trial took place without a jury present, as part of a legal submission by the defence - which could not be tweeted or reported until after the trial. At the end of the day, the case rested on a combination of the legal definition of perjury and details of Tommy Sheridan's trial for that same offence. In order to constitute perjury, false testimony has to be relevant to the case at hand; in essence, the lies told have to matter to the jury. Thus, while the prosecution set out to prove that Mr Coulson had known about phone hacking at his paper far earlier than he had claimed under oath, the defence simply set out to prove that it didn't matter either way. And in this regard, it seemed the defence team had stolen a march. The onus is on the Crown to prove the relevance of the supposedly false evidence, Murdo MacLeod QC told Lord Burns. In his submission, the prosecution had done no such thing. They could have called the Advocate Depute from the 2010 trial; they could even have called Mr Sheridan himself, he suggested. They had not. All they had done was hear extracts from Mr Coulson's testimony, before moving on to hear details about phone hacking from a trio of former News of the World journalists, all convicted phone hackers themselves. With the jury out of the room as the no case to answer submission was heard - they were told a "legal matter" was being debated - the present Advocate Depute, Richard Goddard, hit back. He argued that Mr Coulson's evidence had in fact been relevant to the case; perhaps not all of it, on the issue of phone hacking, but he had said enough of importance to the jury that any other lies he might tell could impact on his credibility. How could the jury make a fair judgement based on Mr Coulson's testimony when he had given false evidence on other matters, Mr Goddard asked? This was important because the Sheridan trial at the outset had little if anything to do with phone hacking. Mr Sheridan was on trial for perjuring himself during his successful defamation action against the News of the World. But part-way through the 2010 trial, Mr Sheridan dismissed his legal team and went it alone, representing himself. He immediately called Mr Coulson, who had not originally been cited as a witness for the proceedings, to the stand. Mr Sheridan wanted to make a number of points in his questioning of Mr Coulson. Firstly, he suggested that the so-called "McNeilage tape", a recording purporting to bear evidence of him admitting visiting the swingers club, had been fabricated by the News of the World. The former politician also alleged that his phone had been hacked, and that the paper had been conspiring against him, to "do him in". Mr Coulson denied all of this, stating that he had known nothing of phone hacking until the arrests of Goodman and Mulcaire in 2006 - thus forming the basis of the 2015 perjury action against him. But crucially, even Mr Sheridan himself admitted during his closing speech that the questioning of Mr Coulson might be irrelevant to his own case. He said: "There are other issues that have to be considered about conduct in public life, about power, about who can do things and who can break the law and get away with it. "The reason I risked my defence to cite the likes of Glenn Mulcaire and Andy Coulson to give evidence wasn't because I thought they were going to help my defence, it was because I think I have a public service and a public duty to expose wrongdoing." Such statements from Mr Sheridan and indeed the Advocate Depute from that case were enough for Mr MacLeod; he was able to point to them, alongside the lack of effort to prove relevance, as fatal flaws in the Crown case. "All we have here, if I may say so without denigrating the Advocate Depute," he intoned, "is a rather desperate attempt to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear." Debates on the matter of relevance and an additional point about corroboration dragged on for two days, after which the jury traipsed back into court three only to be sent out again less than a minute later as Lord Burns adjourned for the weekend to think things over. When Lord Burns returned his written judgement on Monday, it was the death knell for the Crown case. He said he simply had not been given enough evidence by the Crown to judge whether Mr Coulson's testimony had been relevant, and as such whether it could constitute perjury. Mr Coulson was acquitted, but this was suspended for 48 hours for the Crown to consider whether there was anything in the complex judgement which could be challenged at the Court of Criminal Appeal. But Mr Goddard could see no grounds to overturn the ruling; the game was up. The jury of nine men and six women returned to the court to discover that they would not be passing judgement on Andy Coulson after all. During the Crown case they had heard evidence from Clive Goodman, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup, all testifying that Mr Coulson had been aware of what Mr Weatherup called the "systematic culture of phone hacking at the News of the World". But at the end of the day, the court ruled that whether that was true or not, it just didn't matter. As Mr MacLeod underlined repeatedly in his legal submission, this trial had been about perjury, not phone hacking; and it was that which the Crown had failed to prove. Questions will now be asked about how much the case cost, and why it came to court in the form it did in the first place. Eduard Peticky, 48, and his younger brother, Ludovit, abused two boys and a girl as young as three years old in the Eastwood area between 2010 and 2012. They were found guilty of 10 charges between them, including sexual assault, after a trial on 25 July last year. Sentencing them at Sheffield Crown Court, Judge Peter Kelson said it was "a hugely horrifying incident". Eduard Peticky, of Josephine Road, Rotherham, was sentenced to life in prison and ordered to serve a minimum term of 10 years for four offences including sexual exploitation and trafficking. His 45-year-old brother, Ludovit Peticky, of Legrams Lane, Bradford, was jailed for 12 years for six offences. Both had denied all the charges. Speaking of Eduard's offending, the judge said: "This is a hugely horrifying incident and as depraved as could possibly be. It is horrific. He poses a substantial risk to society." A police investigation began in September 2013 after the victims disclosed what had happened to them. Det Con Ian Hampshire, of South Yorkshire Police, said he hoped they could "now try to move on with their lives and put this dreadful ordeal behind them". "These young children suffered horrific abuse at the hands of these brothers over a prolonged period of time. "The harm that they caused will stay with them forever. "I am pleased the young victims found the courage to tell someone what had happened to them so that we could take swift action against the men and bring them to justice." Dalglish was a director of football at Blackburn Rovers and Celtic - and also worked with one as Liverpool manager. "It's much-maligned here... because people don't really understand what it is," he said. "So as long as you know where you stand and lines are drawn before you start, I don't see a problem." Rangers are awaiting a decision from Southampton head of recruitment and scouting Ross Wilson after offering him the director of football post. And Portuguese coach Pedro Caixinha, currently with Al-Gharafa, is believed to be their first choice as team boss. Dalglish believes British football has been slow to embrace the system despite clubs on the Continent having adopted the system as far back as when Celtic were winning the European Cup in 1967. "As long as the lines of demarcation are perfectly clear: if you're the director of football and I'm the manager, you will do the negotiations for players or transfers then I don't need to have anything to do with it," said the 66-year-old. "This is just one scenario, it's not necessarily the same for everybody, maybe the manager wants to negotiate for transfers. "The manager will always pick the team, should always pick the team. He will train and coach them, he will also decide which players come in and which players go out." Dalglish enjoyed working under a director of football at Anfield. "I worked with one when I went back to Liverpool with Damien Comolli and it was fantastic, the work he did," he recalled. "He looked after all the finances with players, organised all the scouting and, if I said 'we need to have a look at him', he would send someone out. "If he saw somebody, I would go and have a look. And there was never anyone that came in the door that I didn't want to come in. "For me, it can take a lot of work off the managers. Especially in the Premier League in England, they need as much time as they can get to prepare their teams." Dalglish became one of British football's first directors of football after leading Blackburn to the title in 1995 and took on the role again at Celtic Park as John Barnes began a brief and difficult spell as manager. "I never had a problem because I stuck to my job," he added. "I knew what my job was and John knew what his job was. "I was frustrated that it never went better for everybody, but it wasn't because there was a clash in roles. "I don't know what they will put in place, but I'm sure the board of Rangers and the management and the staff and the supporters are all looking for them to be a lot more competitive in the next couple of years." The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said 500 track patrol staff plan join 1,500 maintenance workers in a 24-hour strike from 18:00 GMT on Friday. The track patrol staff are in dispute over the use of private contractors, which they say will "casualise" their jobs. Transport for London (TfL) said it was still trying to assess the impact the walk-outs would have. Maintenance staff are planning up to seven separate strikes up to June over what the RMT calls "lethal changes to track access". The RMT said as track workers check the network for faults and maintenance workers fix any problems, there would be concerns as to whether the Tube could run safely during the walk-out. London Underground said safety was its top priority and more talks were planned next week. More on this story and other news from London The maintenance workers strike dates: Randall, 21, can play in midfield and defence and Hearts coach Ian Cathro said he and his staff had been tracking him "probably since we arrived". "Connor is a very hungry young player," explained Cathro. "He has experience in a number of positions and brings a great intensity to his play. "Athletically he is excellent. He is a player that I am really pleased to have been able to bring." Randall has made eight senior appearances, including one while on loan at Shrewsbury Town in season 2014-15. Cathro's side, who lost at Peterhead on Tuesday, must beat Dunfermline on Saturday to ensure they progress from their Scottish League Cup first-round group. The head coach admits there is pressure on the team to win but that is nothing other than he expects. "I feel the pressure like all of us to go to Saturday's game, to be ready for the game, and to win the game," said the 31-year-old. "But that is something that we feel ourselves for every single game that we play. I'm not overly affected by one or the other because we focus on the game that is ahead of us - the opponent that we play and how we play and to be ready to win the game. "So that is something that is the same every single time." With the transfer window not closing until the end of August, Cathro says his squad remains a work in progress but is happy with the business concluded so far, with defenders Christophe Berra, Rafal Grzelak, Michael Smith and Ashley Smith-Brown and forwards Kyle Lafferty and Cole Stockton brought in prior to Randall's arrival. "I'm happy that we are ready to play the game tomorrow," added Cathro. "After that, we will continue to work on a number of things. There is still time in the transfer window where we expect to do some things. "And of course in that period of time we continue to improve. There is no concern. We have a difficult match and a very, very important match now against Dunfermline, who are a good team." The Hammers already had permission to travel away for their opening three games of the Premier League season. London Stadium is currently hosting the World Athletics Championships. West Ham will have to pay compensation to their opponents if they are drawn at home and the tie is switched. Home and away clubs in the EFL Cup split gate receipts equally. The World Athletics Championships event finishes on 13 August, with seating and branding needing to be changed before the Hammers move back into the 57,000-capacity stadium. The EFL Cup second-round draw takes place live on Thursday, 10 August, with the 13 Premier League clubs who have not qualified for European competitions entering the draw. Video of gunmen celebrating at a battle-scarred compound said to be in al-Shaddada was posted on social media. Thirty al-Nusra fighters, 100 Syrian soldiers and "dozens" of civilians were killed, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports. Forces opposed to President Bashar al-Assad made other advances this week. An air base was captured along with aircraft near the northern city of Aleppo and the country's biggest hydro-electric dam, Thawra, was overrun in the north-east. Nearly 70,000 people have been killed on all sides since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began nearly two years ago, according to a UN estimate. Al-Shaddada is a town to the south of Hasaka, capital of the province of the same name, which accounts for most of the country's oil output. On the video, heavily armed fighters dance and chant Islamist slogans, brandishing a torn poster of President Assad, which is beaten before being trampled underfoot. At least one bloodstained body, of a man in military uniform, can be seen on the ground. According to the Observatory, five of the Nusra fighters who died were from Kuwait. "Dozens of employees" working for the state oil company were also killed in the assault on the town, it added without giving details. Another organisation, the Syrian Human Rights Network based in Qatar, confirmed for BBC News that al-Nusra had captured al-Shaddada. Reuters news agency quoted a spokesman for the main Syrian rebel group, the Free Syrian Army, as saying al-Nusra had overrun state security and military intelligence compounds in al-Shaddada. The spokesman, Abu Laila, said an army garrison guarding a nearby gas field, al-Ghabsa, had fled as armed opposition units advanced towards al-Shaddada. There were no immediate reports about the situation in al-Shaddada on Syrian state media. From 1941 to 1945, Allied ships sailed from Scotland and Iceland to Russia to supply it with food and weapons. More than 3,000 seamen lost their lives to the freezing conditions and attacks by German submarines and aircraft. From Thursday, ceremonies will be held in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness. In total, 214 Ushakov Medals will be presented. The ceremonies will be held at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh on Thursday, Glasgow City Chambers on Friday and Aberdeen Town House and Inverness Town House on Saturday. The honour is named after Fyodor Ushakov, an 18th Century naval commander who never lost a battle and the patron saint of the Russian navy. The medal was originally established in 1944 for those who demonstrated courage and prowess in sea warfare. It is now awarded to veterans "for personal courage and valour shown during World War Two while participating in the Arctic Convoys". Convoys left the Clyde and Loch Ewe in Wester Ross during the effort to supply Russia with food and weapons from 1941 to 1945. The British Merchant Navy along with Russian, US, Canadian, Norwegian and Dutch merchant fleets were involved. In total, 78 convoys sailed to and from Russia under escort from Allied warships. Len McCluskey said the North Sea should get the same help the banking sector received during the financial crisis. The Scottish government said Westminster controls tax on oil and gas, and must take action. The UK government said it has provided more than £2bn of support for the industry. Mr McCluskey was speaking in Glasgow, at the launch of his campaign to be re-elected as general secretary of Unite. He is facing a challenge to the post from rival Gerard Coyne. A third candidate, Ian Allinson, is also standing in the contest. Mr Cluskey told BBC Scotland that greater support was needed for the oil sector following the collapse in the oil price. He said: "Contrary to what people might say, there are billions and billions of tonnes of oil still in the North Sea. "It is huge, huge asset and we've got to make certain that both the Scottish government and the Westminster government intervene, in the way that they did with the banks, to assist this vital sector." The Scottish government has called on the government at Westminster to take action to encourage investment and protect jobs in the oil and gas industry. A spokesman for the UK government's department of business, energy and industrial strategy said: "UK oil and gas remains an important part of our energy mix. "We've already provided extensive assistance through a £2.3bn package of support, and committed £40m to new seismic studies to help uncover more opportunities and strengthen the North Sea's appeal to international investors as a global centre of excellence." A Scottish government spokesman said: "We have consistently argued for the UK government, which has received over 30 years of tax receipts from the North Sea, to invest more and to provide the incentives needed to ensure future production and we will continue to do so. "The Scottish government has invested £12m this year in the Transition Training Fund to support individuals and help the sector retain talent, and a further £12.5m to sustain growth and help Scottish firms compete internationally by developing new innovative technologies." Speaking ahead of the Glasgow event, Mr McCluskey also called for urgent action to boost the economy. He added: "From listening to our members, I know all too well that they want much more done to build this economy for tomorrow. "That is why I am here to call for a co-ordinated shot-in-the-arm for the workers of this country. "That must begin with urgent investment in the vital offshore sector to protect the tremendous wealth of skills and unleash the potential in this sector." The assaults happened in Castlemilk, Glasgow, at about 20:05 on Friday. Police said the boy was walking in Ardencraig Quadrant near its junction with Ardencraig Drive when he was seriously assaulted. His 52-year-old father, who saw the incident, was attacked when he ran over to help. The pair were both treated in hospital for facial injuries. They were later released. The two suspects were described as being white, aged between 17 and 21, and wearing dark clothes. Det Con Peter McFarlane said: "These were violent and unprovoked attacks and officers are currently carrying out house-to-house inquiries and reviewing CCTV images in their ongoing efforts to identify the two responsible. "Although we believe this to be a random incident, there will be additional patrols in the area to provide public reassurance." In a separate incident, at about 20:00 on Saturday, a 23-year-old man was assaulted in Partick in what police believe was a targeted attack. The man was walking along Exeter Drive, near its junction with Dumbarton Road, when a man got out of a passing car and seriously assaulted him. The suspect then got back into his car and drove off. Passers-by went to help and he was taken to hospital to be treated for head and facial injuries. He was later released. Police said there was no description of the suspect available, but he was driving a grey BMW 3 Series saloon. Det Con David Hardie said: "We believe this to be a targeted attack and officers are carrying out inquiries in the area today and checking CCTV footage in an effort to gather more information on the circumstances surrounding this attack and the man responsible." Detectives have appealed for anyone with information about either attack to contact them. The Office for National Statistics data shows 67,000 people were unemployed in Wales between July and September - 3,000 more than the previous quarter. But the figures also show 23,000 fewer unemployed in Wales than a year ago. First Minister Carwyn Jones said Wales continued to outperform the rest of the UK in improvements in employment, unemployment and economic inactivity. The unemployment rate is now 4.4% in Wales; the UK rate fell to 4.8%. Only the south west, south east and east of England had lower rates of unemployment than Wales. There are also now 38,000 more people employed in Wales than the same period in 2015. Mr Jones added: "As a pro-business government, we are continuing to work hard to support the right economic conditions to help create and safeguard jobs right across Wales. "Whatever happens in the world around us, we will continue to provide a strong, stable and secure environment for business and enterprise." Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns added: "A strengthening economy combined with the results of welfare reforms have translated into one of the brightest jobs market pictures we have seen for some time. "We are seeing the strongest progress in areas like Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil and Blaenau Gwent; those parts of Wales which have traditionally suffered deep-rooted unemployment." The ride-hailing firm was ordered to stop services for a month in a dispute over accreditations for new drivers. Uber briefly ignored the suspension and moved to appeal the decision. The ride-hailing firm has faced other regulatory battles as it seeks to expand in Asia. The suspension by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) concerns a violation of a directive to stop accrediting new drivers. Uber said on Tuesday that it would appeal the order, and briefly resumed services in defiance of the ban. But the company reversed course later in the day and complied with the order. After initially rejecting its authority, Uber has adopted a more conciliatory tone with the transport regulator. In a video posted on Philippines television network ABS-CBN's website on Wednesday, Uber's regional general manager for Asia Pacific, Michael Brown, said the company respected local authorities. "We're going to do everything we possibly can to show that we respect the authority of the LTFRB," he said. Reporters captured the comments as Mr Brown spoke to LTFRB chairman Martin Delgra. The pair spoke ahead of a meeting held by the country's senate public services committee about Uber's situation, according to local media. "Anything you need from us, we're going to do it," Mr Brown said. "If there's been a misunderstanding in the past, that's on us and I apologise for that misunderstanding. We have every intention to respect the LTFRB," he said. Mr Delgra said the regulator would work with Uber. "This is not a fight, we're trying to work together to address public transport issues," Mr Delgra said. Safety concerns over recalled Uber cars Uber: The scandals that drove Kalanick out Uber fires employees over harassment Uber's troubles in the Philippines are the latest in a series of hurdles to its attempts to expand globally. The company has faced regulatory scrutiny in other Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan and India. Earlier this year Uber suspended operations in Macau after a dispute with local regulators. Uber is also warding off legal challenges as it fights to repair a corporate image badly bruised by sexism and misconduct allegations. Chief executive Travis Kalanick resigned in June, bowing to pressure from shareholders. His departure came after a review of practices at the firm and scandals including complaints of sexual harassment. The SNP remains the largest party in Scotland with 35 seats - but lost 21 of the 56 constituencies it won in 2015. Ms Sturgeon said she would "reflect carefully" on the result. However, Ruth Davidson - whose Scottish Conservatives went from one seat to 13 - said Ms Sturgeon should now take a second referendum "off the table". Her call was echoed by Labour and the Liberal Democrats, who both took seats from the SNP and who also campaigned heavily against another referendum. Across the UK the Tories have 318 seats, leaving them eight seats short of a majority. Theresa May has said she will form a government with the support of the Democratic Unionists. Please enable Javascript to view our results map Giving her reaction to the result, Nicola Sturgeon said: "Undoubtedly the issue of an independence referendum was a factor in this election result, but I think there were other factors in this election result as well." Ms Sturgeon said Brexit, a late surge in support for UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and tactical voting were some of the other factors which had contributed to the outcome. "I strongly suspect there were independence supporters amongst those who voted for Jeremy Corbyn yesterday," she said, stressing that "rushing to overly-simplistic judgments" about the election was "not the right thing to do". Her comments follow those of her deputy, John Swinney, who said the prospect of another vote on Scottish independence was a "significant motivator" in the election result and that the party had be "attentive to that point". Yes, the SNP won the election in Scotland. Arithmetic and every Nationalist will tell us so. But they lost votes, they lost 21 seats and they markedly lost momentum. Aides say Ms Sturgeon is genuinely considering options, authentically rethinking - while urging others in Scotland to do the same. In the immediate term, she is demanding a role in Brexit negotiations which she says must now be rescheduled and repeating her offer to oust Mrs May, if the parliamentary votes can be found. Those issues are the prime focus. But what about indyref2? She will certainly not abandon the aim of independence - nor the calculation that it would be brought about via a referendum. I also think it unlikely that she will formally renounce the proposed timetable for indyref2 - which is at the end of the Brexit process. Perhaps, rather, she might seek to clarify the detail of that timetable. In practice, though, indyref2 is hobbled. It may not be "dead", as Ruth Davidson declared. But it is certainly ailing. Read more from Brian Ms Sturgeon admitted that her party had suffered "bitterly disappointing" losses, but accused the Conservatives of "causing chaos on an industrial scale". She said: "They are planning to cobble together an unstable administration causing yet more damaging uncertainty, all of this because they have consistently put the interests of the Tory party ahead of the interests of the country." Ms Sturgeon added that "the reckless Tory pursuit of a hard Brexit must be abandoned" and she appealed to MPs from all parties to join together to keep the UK and Scotland within the European single market. The first minister also congratulated those who had been elected MPs and paid tribute to those that had lost their seats - including former first minister Alex Salmond and SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson. She described Mr Robertson as a politician and parliamentarian of "immense stature" who had held Theresa May to account. Mr Robertson lost his seat to Conservative Douglas Ross after holding Moray since 2001. She described former leader Alex Salmond as "my friend and mentor for almost 30 years and without a shadow of a doubt the giant of modern Scottish politics". The Conservatives' tally of 13 MPs gave the party its best result in Scotland since 1983. Scottish party leader Ruth Davidson said the SNP candidates that had failed in their bid for re-election had done so because of a "massive political miscalculation" by Ms Sturgeon. She said the campaign had been dominated by one issue - Ms Sturgeon's decision in March to move for another independence referendum. Ms Davidson said: "This morning, we have heard SNP figures acknowledge that the referendum demands were behind its bad result. We have heard the first minister say she will 'reflect' on the matter. I'm afraid that's not enough." Ms Davidson said that while the SNP's share of the vote had fallen by 13%, her party's had risen by the same amount. She added: "Simply put, Scotland has had its fill. We need to focus on the challenges we face on education, on NHS funding, on the new tax and welfare powers - as well as the huge challenge of Brexit. "Nobody will condemn the first minister if she now decides to re-set her course. This is her opportunity to do so - and I urge her to take it immediately. She must take it off the table." Despite her party's success in Scotland, Ms Davidson acknowledged that the UK result had "fallen short" of Conservative expectations. She said it was now incumbent on her party to listen to others in parliament as well as the people outside it. Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale called the Scottish result the "final nail in the coffin" of plans for a second independence referendum. Her party saw their numbers rise from one MP to seven. Ms Dugdale said: "This was a stunning general election result that proves Scottish Labour is back. "Just two years after we were nearly wiped out in Scotland, we have staged a remarkable recovery and overturned some gigantic SNP majorities, and pushed the Nationalists incredibly close in many seats. "I am incredibly proud of the campaign we ran in Scotland, which focused on our belief that together we're stronger with Scotland as part of the UK, coupled with Jeremy Corbyn's positive vision of a country for the many, not the few." Ms Dugdale said the prime minister's decision to call a snap poll seven weeks ago had backfired. "Theresa May has gambled and lost spectacularly and she should now resign as prime minister - and Ruth Davidson should tell her that," said Ms Dugdale. "As for the SNP, this was a catastrophic result and is the final nail in the coffin for Nicola Sturgeon's plans for a divisive second independence referendum." The result proved to be bitter sweet for the Scottish Liberal Democrats, who increased their tally on the 2015 result to four. However, the party lost out to the SNP's Stephen Gethins in Fife North East by the narrowest of margins. The Nationalists held the seat by two votes following a third re-count. The Lib Dems are understood to be considering taking the issue to court. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said that the overall Scottish result had been a rejection of another independence referendum. He said: "The central issue of the election in Scotland was another independence referendum. "The Scottish people have rejected that proposal. Nicola Sturgeon must respond immediately to this major event. "That's why they should hold an early vote in the Scottish Parliament to delay and stop any independence referendum in this parliamentary term." Sorry, your browser cannot display this content. Enter a postcode or seat name Stuart Hendry was jailed for 20 years after Exeter Crown Court heard his victim had suffered psychological harm. Judge Graham Cottle said his behaviour was "incomprehensible to ordinary decent people." Hendry, 59, from Torrington in Devon, pretended to be gay to hide his sexual interest in the girl, the court heard. A former soldier with the Royal Corps of Transport, he was found guilty by a jury on Monday. They rejected his defence that his victim bullied and blackmailed him into giving her "sex education lessons". Judge Cottle told him his actions amounted to "hideous offending perpetrated against a child of very tender years." During a week-long trial the jury heard how all the offences took place during six months last year. Hendry had befriended the girl while visiting her parents' home in North Devon and used his skills as a handyman to make toys for his victim. Hendry then carried out what the judge described as a catalogue' of abuse, during which he ensured her silence by telling her 'The Government' would take her away if she told anyone. The court heard the girl had suffered serious psychological harm and now distrusted anyone in authority and suffered nightmares and flashbacks. Hendry was convicted of eight offences, three of them rape charges. Judge Cottle said: "On the scale of child abuse, this is towards the higher end. You have demonstrated a complete lack of any remorse for what you did. "Only time will tell the consequences for the victim. It is highly likely, in fact inevitable, she will carry with her deep psychological scars." It is a further step towards weaning itself off US government support. Markets saw the loans as further evidence AIG can stand on its own two feet again, sending its share price up more than 9% - the day's biggest gainer on the New York Stock Exchange. The company was one of the largest victims of the 2008 financial crisis, requiring a rescue totalling $182bn. The US Treasury still owns the majority of the insurer, and its stake is planned to rise to over 92%. The new loan arrangements announced by AIG, which are being provided by 36 different banks, were seen by markets as a further sign that the company can stand on its own two feet again. "This success is another important vote of confidence by the market in AIG," said its chief executive, Robert Benmosche. The three credit facilities will become available only once AIG paid off an existing $21bn loan from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), which it expects to do in the next three months. The loans will be split into three facilities: It follows a separate $2bn debt sale by the company completed earlier in the month. AIG announced a recapitalisation plan in September, that is designed to increase its capital buffer against future losses on the insurance contracts it writes, paving the way for the government's exit from the company. The company will repay its emergency loans from the FRBNY early in the New Year mainly using proceeds from the selloff of its major Asian subsidiary AIA, and life insurance business Alico. Once the loans are repaid, the US Treasury is expected to begin selling off its enormous $91bn share ownership in the company. The company will also sell $10bn-15bn of new shares on the stock market in the New Year. Arriva Trains Wales said pre-match rail services would be especially busy from stations feeding into the capital. New Zealand take on France at 20:00 BST at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, while Ireland face Argentina at 13:00 on Sunday. Cardiff's council leader said hosting the tournament had been a success. "Hotels have been booked out and pubs, clubs and restaurants will all have enjoyed a financial boost. It is too early to put an actual figure on the economic impact but it's clearly worth millions," Cllr Phil Bale said. "The Cardiff Fanzone has been the busiest of all the fanzone sites across the UK, surpassing its target for 100,000 visitors, and we expect to see lots more people through the gates over the weekend to see the quarter finals." He said attractions including Cardiff Castle had seen an increase in visitors, with 10,000 more people visiting since the tournament started, compared with the same period last year. "Cardiff has once again excelled itself, not only as an outstanding place to watch major sporting events but also a place for culture, shopping, food and drink and so much more," he added. This weekend's matches are the last of the tournament to be played in Wales. Arriva Trains Wales, Great Western Railway and Cross Country will be adding extra capacity to services before and after the weekend's matches. But passengers have been warned there will likely be standing room only on some routes and they could face waits of up to two hours after the game before they can board a train. The usual post-match queuing system into Cardiff Central Station will operate on both days and a bus shuttle will operate as the priority service for passengers travelling to Bristol Parkway. The Kelso-based Borders Search and Rescue Unit was called out in the early hours of the morning. The elderly woman, who has dementia, had been reported missing from her home in Eyemouth. A police helicopter spotted her at about 04:00 walking on the rail lines and the rescue team took her to safety. BSARU team leader Stuart Fuller-Shapcott said: "When she was spotted actually on the lines, it suddenly became extremely urgent. "With me was a police inspector, who immediately liaised with train operators to make sure any traffic on the railway was stopped." The helicopter directed search teams to the location, where the woman was found moving slowly with two sticks on rough railway ballast. "She was confused and had sustained minor injuries in reaching the lines through hedges and fences, and in stumbling repeatedly on the difficult ground," said Mr Fuller-Shapcott. "We ferried her to safety on a stretcher, from where she was transferred to a road-ambulance and taken for observation to the Borders General Hospital." 22 October 2015 Last updated at 17:01 BST The police say they are trying, and the number has gone up over the last 10 years. In total, in England and Wales, there are 126,818 police officers according to the Police Federation. Out of this total, 6,979 are from black or ethnic minority backgrounds. That's about 6 out of every 100 officers. But compared to the general public, around 11 out of every 100 people, who live in England and Wales at the moment, are from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. Jenny Lawrence has been speaking to school children to ask what they think about diversity in the police force. Phillis Marianne Taylor, 81 and known as Marianne, was found dead at her Cnwch Coch home near Aberystwyth on 11 January. An inquest at Aberystwyth Justice Centre heard how her "brave" friend Caitlin Morse ran into the cottage but was not able to reach Ms Taylor. Coroner Peter Brunton recorded a conclusion of accidental death. The inquest on Wednesday was told Ms Taylor had a "bad cigarette habit" and had been warned by her friends about failing to extinguish butts properly - but lived "a bit chaotically" and had not listened. It heard she also had an electric heater close to her bed, which was surrounded by newspapers, and lit a candle the evening before her death. Ms Taylor had spent time in a care home for her back pain prior to the incident, but had a "new lease of life" and declined further help, returning to the cottage to live independently with her dog. But the pain began to return and she had been "bed-bound" the evening before the fire, her friend Diana Buirski said. Ms Taylor's close friend and neighbour Ms Morse had gone to visit her at about 10:30 GMT after contacting social services with concerns Ms Taylor's back pain was returning, and spotted smoke coming from the property. When she opened the door Ms Taylor's dog ran out of the house. "A lot of smoke came out, I ran down the corridor shouting for her, as I got to her room [the living room] it was full of smoke," she told the inquest. She went to get clothing to cover her face, but said by the time she got back to the room just seconds later, it was well alight with flames coming from near the bed. "I knew she'd be on the bed, but I couldn't get through the smoke to pull her out, it was impossible," she said. David Turner of the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it did not appear Ms Taylor had moved from her bed to escape the fire, which he said was as a result of "accidental ignition of combustible materials through careless handling of smoking material". Mr Brunton said the cause of death was exposure to house fire, adding it was "the proverbial accident waiting to happen" and "surprising something like this didn't happen long ago". He also praised Ms Morse's "very spirited and brave efforts" to reach Ms Taylor. Speaking after the inquest Ms Buirski paid tribute to her friend, saying: "She was a wonderful woman and extremely generous in sharing what she had with other people." The collision happened on the A14 eastbound, between junction 23 for Brampton and 24 for Godmanchester at 15:00 BST. It is understood about 60 people were aboard the coach at the time of the crash. The East of England Ambulance Service said two children and the coach driver had been hurt. Cambridgeshire Police said queues were forming in the area. An ambulance service spokesman said: "There are a number of casualties. Thankfully, all appear to be minor injuries at this stage. "Two children with minor injuries were taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital as a precautionary measure. "The driver of the coach is also being taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital with a minor ankle injury." Highways England said lane one of the A14 in the area was currently closed and warned motorists of delays. The international art event takes place in the Italian city every other year, and attracts the world's best artists, curators and agents. James Richards is already well-known on the UK art scene, having been nominated for the Turner Prize in 2014. He told BBC Wales it was "a real honour" to be selected to represent Wales in Venice. Richards will work with Cardiff's Chapter arts centre to create an installation in a former convent on the banks of one of Venice's famous canals. "It's really exciting, it's a real honour. It's always touching when people nominate you for something, particularly this. "I grew up around the corner from Chapter so a lot of my first experiences with art were there, so it was a very exciting invitation." Born and brought up in Cardiff, Richards now lives in Berlin where his work focuses on archive video, sound and still images. It includes fragments of cinema, stray camcorder footage and murky late night TV shows. Richards said exhibiting in Venice was "a really big deal". "People who like art, for the seven months or so that it's on will flock to see it. It's a presentation of work that so many people see. "Curators, museum directors, gallery staff and writers all attend, so it's a very important thing that happens every two years in the global art calendar." Since 2003 Wales has been making its own submission to the Biennale. It costs around £400,000 to stage the Welsh exhibition, which will run from May to November next year. Previous artists to represent Wales in Venice include Helen Sear, Bedwyr Williams and John Cale. Richards said he will shortly make his first visit to the exhibition space in Venice. "We are going next week to visit the building that we will use for the exhibition," he said. "It's a multi-room venue, so I am really excited about creating a number of works that will sit together like a musical suite, in harmony, and people can move between them. "The building itself becomes a starting point, and then I will start experimenting in the studio and gathering footage." Richards added: "I am working with some musicians and composers on some new musical material which is a process I am really excited to start, and to find a way of including the music I am composing in collaboration with the musicians into the piece. And then I will start doing archival research and really build the show from there. " Phil George, Arts Council Wales chairman, called Richards "an exciting and significant Welsh artist". ''His installation will bring a distinctive and remarkable talent to the attention of galleries and curators worldwide and show the contemporary edge of Welsh creativity to the thousands of visitors to the Biennale," he said. The exact details of Richards's exhibition will remain secret until the Venice Biennale opens in May 2017. Ms Villiers wants US administration support for the government's Stormont House Agreement stance. She said it would not "fund a more expensive system of welfare in Northern Ireland than elsewhere". "That is an important principle for us," she said. "There is also an affordability question," she told BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster. "As a nation in 2010 we had the worst deficit in Europe and we still have got half of it to clear. "There is a genuine concern, even if we were to offer more money to Sinn Féin now, which we are not going to do. The worry is that they would come back for more in the future." Earlier this week, Martin McGuinness denied that his three-day visit to the United States for talks about the Stormont budget crisis had been a waste of time. He said if the crisis was not resolved by September, Stormont's government would be "hanging by a thread". His trip has coincided with a diplomatic visit to the US by Ms Villiers. Paul Halliday claimed the Lib Dems have told him nothing about allegations leading to his suspension this month. The former church minister said he had given evidence to fraud police that text messages were falsely sent in his name, as if they came from his phone. The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau said it was looking into his claims. The Lib Dems have declined to comment. Mr Halliday stood as Lib Dem candidate for Newport East at the 2015 general election and the 2016 assembly poll, and was due to stand for Newport council at the local elections in May. He said his resignation meant he would not be at a party hearing into the allegations scheduled for 28 January. The details of the claims against him have not been formally revealed. The Lib Dems said at the time of his suspension that an internal investigation was under way. Mr Halliday told BBC Wales he had seen evidence of fake text messages sent in his name in a "very sophisticated" and "obviously... deliberate act by someone to disparage me". He announced he had left the Lib Dems on a politics podcast he takes part in called The Three Muckrakers. The ex-minister at the Newport Church of Christ told the podcast that he quit the party because he was not willing to be "in limbo" for months while the claims were investigated. "The truth is that I have been treated by the party as guilty until proven innocent," he said. "It feels like a kangaroo court. The priority is finding out who has stolen my identity. I have more important things to do with my life." Mr Halliday, who works for a property management company, claimed the suspension resulted from an anonymous letter sent to the press. But he added: "I've not been told what the allegations are still. So from a party point of view I'm still in a black hole". He stressed that the party was right to "protect itself" by investigating the allegations, but he criticised what he called a lack of support from the Lib Dems. Mr Halliday said the experience had been "tough" but people who knew him had "rallied around". The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau - which is the national policing lead organisation for fraud - told BBC Wales that it received information from Mr Halliday on 12 January which was "currently in the process of being assessed". His suspension has been handled by the Lib Dems at a UK level. Neither they nor the Welsh Lib Dems would comment on whether the hearing on 28 January will go ahead. Gwent Police said it was also unable to comment. The SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson said it was "one of the most important decisions parliament will ever take." He also said MPs must have access to the full costs of renewal before they can come to an informed view. Former prime minister David Cameron said Trident was an "essential deterrent" to Britain's security. The SNP will vote to reject the renewal of Trident. While the majority of Labour MPs are expected to vote in favour of Trident renewal, Scottish Labour party delegates overwhelmingly backed a vote to scrap the UK's Trident nuclear missile system at their conference last year. Mr Robertson said: "Trident is an immoral, obscene and redundant weapons system - and the decision on whether to renew it is one of the most important votes this parliament will ever take. "Over the last few weeks we have witnessed unprecedented political turmoil, as the entire Westminster system was shown to be completely unprepared for the prospect of a Brexit vote. "Having spent the best part of a month engaged in backstabbing, score-settling and navel-gazing, neither the Tories nor Labour are in any fit state to be giving proper scrutiny to decisions as important as this." He added: "It would be both morally and economically indefensible for the UK government to commit to spending hundreds of billions of pounds on weapons of mass destruction - even more so at a time when they are cutting funding for public services. "The enormous cost of Trident appears to be spiralling out of control - before MPs can come to an informed view, they must have access to full costs across the lifetime of the programme." Thousands of people attended 36 protests against Trident renewal at towns and cities across Scotland on Saturday. It is understood the UK government has no plans to move the missile system from Faslane on the Clyde. A source close to Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "This government was elected on a manifesto to build four ballistic missile submarines to replace the current fleet. We committed to hold a vote and we need to have this now given the time it takes to build and test the submarines. "All MPs will have to decide whether to gamble with our national security. The SNP will be voting to weaken our security and to close Faslane, Scotland's biggest employment site." The 19-year-old made 25 appearances for the Saints and Arsenal see him as an option at right-back, centre-back or in a more advanced role. "The way he adapted to the Premier League last season at a young age shows that he has tremendous quality," said Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. Arsenal have also enquired about Saints midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, 24. Chambers has become Arsenal's fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy and Nice goalkeeper David Ospina. "He has a lot of the attributes that we look for in a young player and I am sure that he will do well with us," added Wenger. Chambers flew out with the Arsenal squad - including Debuchy and Ospina - for their training camp in Austria on Monday. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Yaya Sanogo were also included after missing the New York trip at the weekend, while Sanchez is scheduled to arrive at the club's London Colney training ground on Tuesday. "I am so happy to be signing for Arsenal. They are a team I have much admired for their playing style, and a team who have been one of the top sides in Europe for many years," Chambers told Arsenal's official website. "I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone at Southampton for everything they have done for me and for making this move possible." Chambers is the latest player to leave St Mary's this summer - Rickie Lambert,Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren all joined Liverpool and Luke Shaw moved to Manchester United. "We are naturally disappointed whenever any of our academy graduates leave and that is very much the case with Calum's departure," Southampton executive director Les Reed told the club's website. "We have an abundance of talent in the academy coming through, and everybody at the club is continuing to work hard on bringing in quality new players as we build a team capable of taking us further forward in the coming seasons." The arrival of Chambers at Arsenal could see right-back Carl Jenkinson, 22, leave the Gunners on loan to gain regular first-team football. Gunners boss Wenger is still in the market for a holding midfielder and another defender - if captain Thomas Vermaelen leaves the club. Martyn Rogers, 66, from Newport, died of blood poisoning and acute liver failure at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, in July 2012. Liver specialist Prof David Paul Berry will not face police action after the "avoidable" deaths of eight patients in his care. His practising restrictions were recently extended to February 2016. The settlement figure has not been disclosed. A Cardiff and Vale University Health Board spokesman said: "Mr Berry is not currently carrying out any clinical duties for the health board pending the conclusion of the health board's internal procedures." The General Medical Council (GMC) placed restrictions on Prof Berry in March 2013. A professional review of 31 of his patients found 10 died and "eight of those 10 deaths were avoidable". Maria Davies, Mr Rogers' partner of 40 years, said: "Neither myself or my family feel that we have secured justice for Martyn and we will continue to campaign and search for answers and I hope by highlighting what happened to Martyn that we are able to ensure that no further people will suffer from the same substandard care as he did." The 14-time major winner has been suffering with back problems and has not played since he withdrew from the Dubai Desert Classic on 3 February. Woods, 41, has won the Masters four times and the first major of the season begins at Augusta on 6 April. "I'm especially disappointed because I wanted to help honour Arnold," he said. "This is one event I didn't want to skip. Arnold has meant so much to me and my family; I thought of him as a close friend. He will be greatly missed and can never truly be replaced." Palmer, who won seven majors, died last September at the age of 87. Woods who last played in the event at Bay Hill in Orlando in 2013 has won it a record eight times. No other player has won it more than twice. Welshman Chaz Davies secured victory in the second race on a Ducati, having been runner-up to Rea in the opener. Northern Irishman Rea, 28, clinched his fourth success of the season by winning by 0.051 seconds on his Kawasaki after a thrilling end to the first event. England's Leon Haslam was third and fourth and is second in the standings. On the brakes into the final corner of race one, Davies dived into the lead but Rea turned tighter and got on the power fractionally earlier, giving him the smallest advantage which he carried over the line for another maximum points score. Third-place finisher Sykes led from the start until there were eight laps remaining, at which point Rea dived under the Yorkshireman into turn four, where he had earlier passed Davies for second place. Leon Haslam finished in fourth after a race-long scrap with team-mate Jordi Torres and Ducati replacement rider Xavi Fores. Davies enjoyed an advantage of 3.19 seconds over Rea at the end of race two to seal his first World Superbike win since 2013. Haslam completed the podium positions, but Sykes crashed out unhurt with 14 of the 18 laps remaining. Rea, based in the Isle of Man, won one race at the opening round at Phillip Island, Australia, in February and followed that up with a double success at Thailand in March. He now has 19 World Superbike career wins and is looking forward to potentially extending that tally at Assen next weekend. "A first and a second are the best results I've ever had at Aragon and it's good to get some more good results and pick up plenty of points. Assen is a circuit I really love so bring it on," said Rea. The family of five, from Aleppo, had applied for a 90-day visa at the Belgian embassy in Lebanon, so they could later seek asylum in Belgium. Initially, the Court's top adviser said Belgium was wrong to deny them a visa. Had the Court agreed, the decision would have potentially opened up a new path to EU countries for migrants trying to reach Europe. But unusually the Court rejected the Advocate General's advice and decided that EU law did not require member states to allow visas to people whose ultimate aim is asylum. The ruling is a significant victory for Belgian migration minister Theo Francken who has argued that EU member states alone should have the power to issue visas. Common sense had prevailed, he said. "NGOs wanted to open EU borders in embassies abroad," but the Court had been very clear that humanitarian visas were a national competency, he added. He praised the 13 EU countries as well as the European Commission for supporting Belgium in the case. When the family applied for a short-stay visa in October 2016, they said one of them had been kidnapped by an armed group and beaten and tortured before being released in exchange for a ransom. They also argued that as Orthodox Christians, they were at risk of persecution because of their religious beliefs. But the ECJ ruled that if non-EU citizens were allowed to seek visas for international protection in the country of their choice, it would undermine the bloc's system for deciding which country was responsible. "I find it very intriguing that this ruling is quite opposite to the opinion of the advocate general, who said humanitarian grounds should be taken into account," said Carolus Grutters, senior researcher at the Centre for Migration Law at Radboud University in the Netherlands. Describing the Court's decision as disappointing, he argued that the original opinion had the potential to put migrant smugglers out of work because asylum seekers would have headed for EU embassies rather than boats from Libya or Turkey. "Now they will stay in business." But they need to become economically self-sustaining, truly global, and must receive continued research support. Mr Cameron was speaking at the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) meeting in London, which also saw a number of initiatives aimed at increasing access to clean energy around the world. He said he was sticking to his vow to lead the "greenest government ever". A recent opinion poll showed that only 2% of Britons believed the government deserved that title. The coalition has come under attack on a number of issues, including planning reform, air pollution, badger culling and the "bonfire" of the green quangos. But Mr Cameron insisted that the UK was now "one of the best places in the world" for green investment and green jobs, with the City of London "number one" for investors in low-carbon energy. "Solar costs have halved in two years, the price of onshore wind power has come down as well," he said. "As the costs come down, it's right that consumers pay less for it... I believe that more mature renewable technologies can be among our cheapest energy sources in years, not in decades." Although the UK remains legally bound to national and European targets on energy and climate change, including that 15% of energy should come from renewables by 2020, recent Treasury-led moves to stimulate gas-fired electricity generation have cast doubt on the depth of the government's commitment to meeting them. Chancellor George Osborne faced criticism for announcing £3bn of new tax breaks for offshore fossil fuel extraction in his March Budget. Speaking to ministers from 23 countries at the CEM meeting, Mr Cameron said he was "passionate" about the importance of UK renewables; but environment groups criticised a lack of depth and detail in what had been trailed as a keynote speech. "We were led to expect a major policy intervention on the environment from the Prime Minister this week, only for his speech to be suddenly downgraded; what we got today was a damp squib," said David Nussbaum, chief executive of WWF-UK, "Ministers in countries like Germany and Denmark... are talking in terms of hundreds of thousands of new jobs in the renewable energy sector, whereas the PM today was only talking about a few hundred." Mr Cameron announced a new initiative provisionally called Norstec, which brings together more than 20 firms based in different countries. The aim is to create a "second energy revolution" in the North Sea, based on offshore wind and possibly carbon capture and storage. Referring in part to the recent confusion over feed-in tariffs for solar power, Renewable Energy Association chief executive Gaynor Hartnell joined other trade bodies in calling for greater certainty. "Stable policies build investor confidence and make projects more bankable," she said. "The ball is in the government's court to make that happen." Earlier, the meeting heard International Energy Agency deputy director Richard Jones warn ministers that without urgent action to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the globe was on track to see 6C of warming, rather than the 1.5-2C figure that governments have declared the maximum they want. The CEM meeting also saw the launch of a number of initiatives in support of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's goals on energy. Mr Ban wants to see universal access to modern forms of energy, a doubling of the rate of improvement in energy efficiency, and a doubling of the global share of renewables - all by 2030. This is likely to receive endorsement from world leaders at the forthcoming Rio+20 summit. Among the initiatives announced at CEM are a global competition for energy efficient products, a project to bring modern lighting to two million people in India, and a global database recording the energy efficiency of various products. Kandeh Yumkella, director-general of the UN Industrial Development Organization (Unido), said that access to modern energy in Africa was basically an economic and health development tool. "In my village, women cook with firewood, and we know from the World Health Organization that the impact of that is 1.3-1.5 million deaths each year - more than malaria," he said. "The dream of every developing country is to be modernised, to live as people live in the UK, for example - they can't do it without energy, but as 60-70% of greenhouse gas emissions come from energy-related activities, we need a transformation." Follow Richard on Twitter The 25-year-old has joined for the Segunda Division club after scoring 13 goals in 39 appearances last season at Tynecastle. Head coach Robbie Neilson told the Hearts website: "Juanma has expressed a desire to play regular first-team football. "So we decided a loan move would be the best solution for both parties." Juanma had joined the Scottish Premiership outfit after leaving Greek Superleague club Kalloni last year. "We have brought in a number of strikers over the course of the summer months, so needless to say there is a great deal of competition up front," added Neilson. "Hopefully this will enable him to get plenty of game time under his belt over the course of the season."

The 22-year-old has not played a first-team game for Chelsea in his four and a half years with the club following his move from Nottingham Forest. Bamford has had loan spells with MK Dons, Derby, Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace and Norwich. Speaking after Saturday's 3-0 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge, Clarets boss Sean Dyche had said the signing was imminent.

Burnley have signed Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford on a season-long loan.

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has launched a consultation process over the move. The "zones" would mean anyone caught walking their dog in the areas listed could face a fine of up to £80. Some of the 96 areas proposed include the Knockagh Monument on the outskirts of Carrickfergus, as well as parts of Carnfunnock Country Park in Larne. Playing fields and community centres in Ballymena, Greenisland and Whitehead are also included. The consultation, which is open to the public until 19 June, has caused controversy among some dog owners. Philip Thompson, the director of environmental services at the council, said: "Dog control issues, particularly the whole issue of fouling, are something that our elected members and officers are continually getting complaints about. "So these dog control orders are there to try and deal with that issue." He said the council would engage with people worried about the zones. "This is a four-week consultation and we will genuinely listen and genuinely take on board those concerns," he said. "If there are areas that shouldn't be on those, then we can remove them, but that will come back to council for a final decision."

A Northern Ireland council is considering setting up a number of dog exclusion zones.

Relive the Premiership action on our text commentary Ian Parkhill put the Bannsiders ahead seconds into the second half at Ferney Park before McGonigle sealed a win which takes Coleraine up three places to sixth. Ards had the chance to replace Crusaders as leaders but Stephen Baxter's side showed the stuff of champions to take all three points at the Bangor Fuels Arena. Media playback is not supported on this device Tommons was first to go on 50 minutes followed by Cushley 20 minutes later, both straight reds for poor tackles. "Ards made it tough for us and you have to give them credit," said Crusaders matchwinner Owens. "I think they will do well this season. Our performances have not been great but we dug in and got the result. "It was a great ball in by Paul Heatley and I got on the end of it." Andrew Mitchell put the in-form Swifts in control against Ballymena, scoring twice in four minutes at Stangmore Park. Conor McCloskey reduced the deficit with a diving header before Cathair Friel's second-half equaliser. It was a debut to remember for Portadown midfielder Alan Byrne, with the former Shelbourne and Drogheda player netting in an impressive display from Shamrock Park hosts. Aaron Haire was injured in scoring Portadown's third goal and he required lengthy treatment for a head injury before being stretched off.

Jordan Owens struck in added time to give champions Crusaders a 1-0 away win over Ards and stretch their lead at the top of the Premiership to four points.

Media playback is not supported on this device Djokovic had levelled at two sets all when bad light stopped play on Monday. He struggled to find his rhythm when the match resumed on Tuesday after a delay because of rain. But the world number one and top seed finally got to grips with the big-serving South African to win 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 6-4 7-5. "Kevin served exceptionally well," said Djokovic. "This was one of the most difficult matches I have played at Wimbledon in my career. "It was high-quality tennis in the fifth set. At times I was helpless with my return - it was very difficult to read his serve and he was very aggressive. "I was two sets down and coming back to win gives me great satisfaction and confidence for my next challenge." Djokovic was on top when play was halted on Monday but he took time to get into his stride after returning to Court One to fight out the deciding set. The match was delayed by half an hour because of rain but Anderson quickly got his booming serve into gear, firing down three aces in the first game. In contrast, Djokovic had to fight to avoid being broken early on, and his frustration was obvious as another shower threatened to bring another pause in play only for the rain to quickly pass. In the sixth game of the deciding set, Djokovic appeared to aggressively shout 'Towel' at a startled ball girl after a a 20-shot rally concluded with him netting with a forehand. Djokovic said: "I'm sorry. There was nothing towards her. Maybe she was just afraid of my screaming there. I'm definitely going to try to apologise to her if I did something wrong." It was not long until Djokovic had Anderson in trouble when the 6ft 8in right-hander saw his serve falter for the first time. Two double-faults at 5-5 gave Djokovic his first chance to break in the decider, and he did not miss his opportunity. He held his arms aloft and blew a kiss towards the sky after serving out his victory after 44 minutes back on court, in a match that lasted a total of three hours and 46 minutes. Djokovic will play ninth seed Marin Cilic in the last eight. The Croatian also took him to five sets when they met at the same stage at SW19 in 2014.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon by completing his comeback from two sets down to beat Kevin Anderson.

A civil ceremony for Messi, 30, and Antonela Roccuzzo, 29, was held at a luxury hotel in the city of Rosario. Football stars and celebrities were among the 260 guests, with hundreds of police deployed for the event. Messi, the Argentina and Barcelona forward, met Roccuzzo as a child before he moved to Spain aged just 13. Among the guests at Friday's wedding were Messi's Barcelona teammates Luis Suárez, Neymar, Gerard Piqué and his wife, Colombia's pop star Shakira. A number of guests flew into Rosario on private jets. Argentina's Clarín newspaper has variously called the wedding "the wedding of the year" and "the wedding of the century". Earlier, crowds gathered at the local airport to try to spot some of the famous guests. A private security firm was working inside the hotel to keep out potential gatecrashers. About 150 journalists received accreditation to enter a special press area, but were not given full access to the venue, organisers said. Messi met Roccuzzo when he was just five years old. She is the cousin of his best friend, Lucas Scaglia, who also became a professional football player. Messi accepted an offer to play for Barcelona when he was 13, on condition that they pay for treatment for his growth hormone deficiency. He has spoken about the difficulties he faced on leaving behind his loved ones and former club. The couple, who now live in Barcelona, have two sons together. In May, his appeal against a 21-month jail term for tax evasion in Spain was rejected. He is unlikely to go to prison as the sentence can be served under probation or possibly avoided by paying a fine. The event was held at Rosario's City Center hotel complex, which has an adjoining casino. Roccuzzo, 29, was widely expected to wear a dress by Rosa Clara, a Barcelona-based designer who has dressed actress Eva Longoria and Spain's Queen Letizia. Aside from a "sushi station", the menu was a very Argentine affair, including empanadas (traditional pasties) and all parts of the cow, from a casserole of sweetbreads to blood sausage. Messi invited the Barcelona squad, including Neymar, Luis Suárez and Gerard Piqué, who arrived in Rosario in a private jet with his wife, Colombian pop-star Shakira. Teammates from Argentina's national team, including Sergio Agüero, were also present. Clarín reported that Messi did not invite any of his recent coaches, including Pep Guardiola, who is now at Manchester City. Argentina's other big football legend, Diego Maradona, was also omitted from the list, according to the local press. The port city of Rosario sits on the banks of the Paraná, about 300km north-west of Buenos Aires in the centre of the country. Another famous Argentine to have spent his early years here is Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Messi is known locally simply as Lío. He has been a local hero since his days as a star player for Newell's Old Boys. The team has a staunch rivalry with nearby Rosario Central, similar to that of Boca Juniors and River Plate in Buenos Aires. Since moving to Spain, Messi has won a record-breaking five Fifa Ballon d'Or awards.

Argentine football star Lionel Messi has married his childhood sweetheart in his hometown in what has been called the "wedding of the century".

The Magpies are reportedly keen on the 23-year-old centre-back, who missed Tuesday's game at Southend. "As far as I know, it is speculation. He is a good player and sometimes that will happen," Hughton told BBC Sussex. "It is not the first time and it won't be the last. We can only deal with it that way as he is a Brighton player." Last month the Seagulls rejected a £4m offer for Dunk from fellow Championship side Fulham, who the Sussex club face on Saturday. Dunk was rested for Brighton's League Cup tie in midweek but is expected to return to the squad for their trip to Craven Cottage. Hughton, who was in charge of Newcastle from the summer of 2009 until December 2010, is keen to hold on to the defender even if a Premier League club does put in a bid. "What we want to be doing with our best players is keeping them, and doing whatever we can to put ourselves in the best position to do well this season," he said. "Ultimately, with any of our players, it doesn't matter where the speculation comes from. We have to look after our best interests first."

Brighton manager Chris Hughton has dismissed reports linking defender Lewis Dunk with a move to Newcastle United as "speculation".

First, earlier this year Richard Wilson, an analyst at Radio Free Mobile in a note titled "Xiaomi: Reality Check PT V" claimed the firm's valuation had gone from US$45bn (£34bn) to less than US$4bn in just two years. Radio Free Mobile is in its own words "an independent research producer specialising in the digital and mobile ecosystem". Now, Xiaomi isn't listed so it's impossible to say how much the company is actually worth - and it is just ONE analyst - but Mr Wilson is basing this on how many handsets he believes Xiaomi is selling. Xiaomi strongly disputes this data and says it is "seeing very healthy demand". But it admits it is also "experiencing some challenges in the supply chain this year". In an email to the BBC Xiaomi said it last raised money two years ago so its valuation still stands at US$45bn. It's difficult to say definitively how many handsets Xiaomi sells because it doesn't release that data. However, in recent weeks IDC, a global consumer technology research house, released estimates which it said showed that Xiaomi's mobile shipments had fallen a whopping 38.4% in the April to June quarter of this year compared with the same time last year. IDC says Xiaomi is ranked fourth after local competitors Huawei, Oppo and Vivo. Data published by Counterpoint Research in April also shows Xiaomi's global market share shrinking - down more than 12% for the first quarter of this year compared with the same period in 2015. Counterpoint Research is a technology market research firm covering everything from smartphones to wearables. But Xiaomi says that the estimates it has from other research houses paint a more positive picture. In a statement to the BBC, a Xiaomi spokesperson said: "We understand that different analyst firms have different calculation methods. There are many other third-party reports out there, including those by Strategy Analytics, Gartner and IHS that put our Q2 2016 numbers significantly above what IDC estimated, and those are much closer to our true sell-out number. "We are seeing very healthy demand, but also experiencing some challenges in the supply chain this year. We are ramping up and in June, we sold 6.94 million phones in just one month." It would be fair to say there's a degree of industry envy over Xiaomi's spectacular rise. It was once heralded as the "Apple of the East" - partly because of its sleek designs and the way it presented its products to the market. But Apple claimed it was a copycat firm and sold the handsets at a cheaper price. Xiaomi says this isn't true and that its innovative e-commerce strategy is what has helped it race up the smartphone charts. So what's going on at Xiaomi? Part of the problem, some analysts say, is that Xiaomi's initial valuations were unrealistic. To be honest, that could be said about a lot of tech companies that were given sky high valuations over the last two years, and not just in China, as I've been writing about since last year. (See my blog: Is the Asian tech boom about to burst?) Remember, though, that Xiaomi isn't listed and it hasn't raised money since 2014. Given that's the case it's hard to put an actual number on how much it's worth - but it would be fair to say that the environment in which Xiaomi initially raised cash was much better than it is now. When Xiaomi first hit the Chinese market, the economy was doing better, the market was flush with cash to spend and investors were looking for the next big thing. The environment is different now and people are a lot more cautious. In this environment it's harder to justify a US$45bn valuation based on low growth. Xiaomi's rivals say it uses the formula that Chinese manufacturing firms did in the last decade to get ahead. Copy, produce, sell at rock bottom prices - repeat. Xiaomi says this isn't true, but, arguably, this formula helped Chinese tech firms beat the foreign competition time and time again in the Chinese market. However, the biggest competition now is coming from inside China - not outside. That's led to Xiaomi expanding in markets like India for instance, but even there it's facing local competition. Xiaomi's critics say that there was just far too much hype around what the company was trying to do. Sure, the way it sells its phones - over the internet and with no marketing costs - was seen as "disruptive". Now, though, it's at risk of being left behind by local competitors who are doing the same thing and better. In fact, a lack of marketing is one of the factors IDC points to as to why Xiaomi is suffering. Other companies have adopted brand ambassadors in China - celebrities or well recognised faces that young Chinese are familiar with, and that's helped them. Xiaomi knows that it cannot rest on its laurels and that's why it appears to be looking at breaking into the US. It has bought 1,500 patents from Microsoft to help it to do that one day. But it may face more concerns about its valuations as it spreads its reach. 2 February 2017 Last updated at 09:11 GMT The New England Patriots will face the Atlanta Falcons at the NRG Stadium in Houston, USA, with the winner lifting American Football's biggest prize.

The Eden Festival has raised concerns in the past about the policing costs at the Raehills Estate near Beattock. It has now unveiled plans to stage The Lost Disco event in Tisno in August. However, co-founder Adam Curtis insisted that the two festivals would complement one another and the Scottish event remained their top priority. "The Eden Festival is very much a community festival - it has been built by more than me," he said. "It is 300 to 400 of us that do it from the community and that is very hard to transport anywhere. "The Eden Festival will always remain as our number one key objective." He said the idea behind the Croatian event was to export one section of the south of Scotland festival. "For the Lost Disco Festival what we have done is take our most popular stage at the Eden Festival which is the Lost Disco and take it abroad," he said. "It is almost like taking part of the Eden Festival over the seas." More than half of British adults watch more than one episode of the same show back-to-back at least once a month. Of those, a third - almost 10 million - admit they have missed sleep or become tired as a result, while a quarter say they have neglected household chores. Media watchdog Ofcom did the research into what it called "box set Britain". 82% aged 16-24 watch multiple episodes at least monthly 67% of adults watch on demand to avoid adverts 54% of adults like to watch on tablets or smartphones 91% watch live TV, but viewing time is down 14% since 2010 Findings in the broadcasting regulator's Communications Market Report include: Posting children's photos divides nation Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director at Ofcom, said: "Technology has revolutionised the way we watch TV.

In a test, Mobile Bridge version 4.0 was set up without any foundations by only a few people over the Hongo River in Fukuyama City, Japan. A vehicle travelled easily and safely across it. The bridge is designed to be extended when needed, and disassembled, like a concertina. The work was recently presented at a Japanese engineering symposium. The bridge design uses patented technology with a scissor-like structure and mechanism, which means the bridge and its lanes expand simultaneously. It's ready for traffic within an hour. The system is compact enough to be transported in a car trailer. Earthquakes, floods and tsunamis can occur anytime, anywhere in the world. This can cause damage to infrastructure, slowing down the response of emergency services. "A crucial point is how to expand a portable bridge. Usually a crane and a team of technicians is needed, but not in this case," Dr Paolo Beccarelli, Assistant Professor in Architectural Structures at the University of Nottingham explained to BBC News. This makes it a quick and simple solution when emergency bridges are needed. Mobile Bridge 4.0 can also be deployed as a temporary structure during repair of existing bridges, avoiding interruption to traffic flows. Dr Ichiro Ario, assistant professor at the Institute of Engineering, Hiroshima University, who presented these results, plans to make Mobile Bridge 4.0 stronger, longer, lighter, more compact and quicker to set up. Costs were to be limited to £72,000 for the over-65s and younger adults with disabilities from April 2016. The Department of Health said it was still "firmly committed" to the cap, but questions are now being raised whether the policy needs rethinking. The move came after councils wrote to ministers asking for a delay because of the "enormous pressures" they faced. For years councils have been warning the care system - which covers residential care and help at home with tasks such as washing and dressing - has been underfunded. A shortfall of £4.3bn has been predicted by the end of the decade - nearly a third. Concerns had also been expressed that the drive for a national living wage would push up costs. The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s. The "care calculator" covers residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing. Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs where they live in the UK. There is also a dedicated BBC Cost of Care website, with news stories, analysis and video. The letter from the Local Government Association on 1 July said that while councils backed the introduction of the cap, it was not possible to cope with the extra demands the changes would bring at the moment. It said the current system was "no longer sustainable" and pressing ahead would be "deeply damaging". It had been predicted the changes would add £6bn to public sector spending over the course of five years. The move was part of a raft of changes being introduced under the 2014 Care Act and included in the Conservative Party's manifesto. As well as capping costs, the changes would have provided a more generous system of state help. Currently those with assets above £23,250 do not get any help from councils towards their costs. That was to have risen to £118,000 under the changes. Ministers had claimed the policy would stop people racking up "catastrophic" care costs in old age - one in 10 people who enter the care system end up forking out over £100,000. In a written ministerial statement, the government said it was "firmly committed" to the plans, but it was clear following the letter from the LGA that the government needed to "think carefully". "This is not a decision that has been taken lightly. Further announcements will follow in due course." But Labour's shadow care minister Liz Kendall said: "This is a shameful broken promise from David Cameron, and devastating news for older people and their families who have been trying to plan for the future." Councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the LGA, said: "In an ideal world, we would have funding for both the system and the reforms but we have to be realistic about where scarce resources are needed most. "Any money from delaying the reforms must be put back into adult social care services and support putting it on a sustainable footing." Age UK's Caroline Abrahams said the delay was the right decision as introducing the cap now would have been a "distraction" at a time when the care system was in a state of "cataclysmic" decline. "What matters now is that the government grasps the scale of the galloping crisis and uses the spending review to bring forward effective solutions." She said she hoped the delay would lead to a rethink as the cap had been set too high in the first place. Prof Martin Green, chief Executive of Care England, which represents care providers, said it was now time to come up with a "sustainable" solution "once and for all". "If the government refuses to address the issue of funding, we will have a care system in crisis and the NHS unable to cope with the pressure," he added. Protesters erupted into jeers at a rally against a carbon tax, hosted by the right-wing Rebel media group. "Lock her up" was frequently chanted by Donald Trump supporters in reference to Hillary Clinton during the US election. Mrs Clinton was under FBI investigation over her emails but Ms Notley has not faced any criminal probe. But the New Democratic Party leader has been subject to threats of violence since her election in 2015. The crowds began shouting the phrase outside the province's legislature on Saturday at a rally over the provincial government's planned carbon tax. Do 'lock her up' chants mark a new low? The dark depths of hatred for Hillary Clinton The rally was organised by Rebel Media, an online news and right-wing opinion outlet. Conservative leadership hopeful Chris Alexander, who was criticising Ms Notley in a speech when the shouting began, said he was "shocked" and mortified" by the chant. But Mr Alexander has since come under fire for not immediately intervening at the rally. A video of the incident appeared to show Mr Alexander cracking a smile and gesturing with his finger when the chanting began. The former immigration minister told a CBC News programme he did not interrupt because he was "trying to find a moment to interject with what I thought was the real conclusion of what this discussion was". He added he wanted to change the chant to "vote her out". Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose condemned the incident as "inappropriate and unoriginal". "We don't lock people up in Canada for bad policy, we vote them out," she said. "I don't know what to say - it's people acting like idiots." Conservative Party Leadership Candidate Deepak Obhrai also weighed in on the rise of intolerance trickling into Canadian politics. "We're witnessing Trump-style politics invading Canada," Mr Obhrai, a Calgary-area MP said. "It is the responsibility of event organisers that they distance themselves from hate-mongering and insults. Otherwise we all lose." Protesters invoked a slogan often shouted by supporters of president-elect Trump, who accused Mrs Clinton of criminal wrongdoing in her use of a private email account while at the State Department. An FBI investigation concluded that while she was "extremely careless", her actions did not warrant criminal prosecution. Still, the phrase became a rallying cry for many Trump supporters. Ms Notley's NDP-led government has planned to introduce a broad-based carbon tax on gasoline in a conservative province struggling with a downturn in the oil sector. Kenny Moyes introduced two people who got through the first stage of the buying process by making a bid using a fake bank letter, a court heard. The evidence emerged in the trial of Mr Whyte who is accused of a fraudulent acquisition of Rangers in 2011. He denies a charge of fraud and another under the Companies Act. David Horne - Sir David Murray's lawyer and one of his most senior advisers - was giving evidence at the High Court in Glasgow. Mr Horne, 54, was part of the Murray Group team involved in the Rangers sale. The jury has heard how Whyte, 46, struck a £1 deal to takeover the club from Sir David in 2011. But, prior to that, a number of individuals were said to have shown interest in Rangers. Kenny Moyes contacted then Ibrox chief executive Martin Bain in 2010 about two people apparently keen to purchase Sir David Murray's controlling stake at the club. The agent - brother of ex-Manchester United boss David Moyes - introduced English-based Rangers fan Ian Anderson and a Dutch national as being keen on a buyout. They were said to have up to 50m euros (£42m) to invest with a letter from a Belgian bank that apparently confirmed this. Mr Horne said "on the face of it" this seemed to be an interest in the club, but said it was discovered that Mr Anderson was a banned director. The bank letter was then found to be a forgery. Mr Horne told Craig Whyte's lawyer Donald Findlay QC: "We let Kenny Moyes down gently as I think he was the victim of a con as well." Mr Findlay: "He had been duped?" Mr Horne: "I believe so, yes." A man named as Vladimir Antonov - said to be a chairman of a Lithuanian bank - was also described as being interested in the takeover of Rangers. Mr Horne said that when the offer came in, he thought: "Oh no." He believed the reaction of the supporters to such a bid would have been "one of horror". Among other concerns surrounding Mr Antonov were claims the FBI had been looking at a business deal he was involved in, the trial was told. Mr Horne said "right or not", it had been "certainly of concern". Mr Findlay said these individuals were part of a "motley crew" of people supposedly keen to buy Rangers before Mr Whyte came forward. Prosecutors allege Mr 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 Mr 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 Mr 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 Judge Lady Stacey, continues. The FTSE 250 betting company confirmed it was in discussions with Canada's Amaya about a "potential all-share merger of equals". The move is the latest example of consolidation in the gaming industry. It follows 888 Holdings and Rank abandoning a proposed £3bn tie-up with William Hill in August. William Hill said its board had been examining ways to diversify by expanding its digital and international businesses, while Amaya had also been reviewing its options. "The potential merger would be consistent with the strategic objectives of both William Hill and Amaya and would create a clear international leader across online sports betting, poker and casino," William Hill said. A merger of the two companies could produce annual savings of up to £100m. Talks are continuing and no agreement may be reached, as private equity firms are also said to be eyeing Amaya. It says PokerStars is the world's biggest online poker website. Amaya is listed on both the Toronto stock exchange and Nasdaq. Its shares have risen by a third this year, making the company worth $2.4bn (£1.9bn). Shares in William Hill, however, are down by a quarter since January, leaving it valued at just under £2.6bn. In August William Hill reported a 16% fall in operating profits to £131.1m. Interim chief executive, Philip Bowcock, said the first half of the year had been challenging as the company battled problems with its online business. Other recent mergers in the gambling industry include a £2.3bn tie-up between Ladbrokes and Coral in July, while GVC Holdings has taken over Bwin.party. Paddy Power and Betfair completed their merger in February and joined the FTSE 100, but shares have fallen almost 20% since then. A combined William Hill/Amaya would be large enough to also enter the list of the biggest companies listed in London. Organisers said the Exeter Pound would only be accepted by a number of local shops and is designed to work alongside, not replace, sterling. It would not be accepted by banks but organisers, environmental campaigners Transition Exeter, hope that firms would part-pay workers in the currency. Transition Exeter hopes to launch the currency in autumn 2015. Local currencies are already being used in Brixton, Totnes in Devon and Bristol which claims to have more than 500,000 Bristol Pounds in circulation which are accepted at 650 businesses. Transition Exeter said it aims to encourage consumers to buy locally and "foster a sense of community". Shops and businesses are being asked to accept the Exeter Pound, which will be sold by Transition Exeter for £1 sterling. The currency will be available in shops and organisers also aim to create online accounts. The Exeter Pound would be backed 100% by sterling in the project's bank account. Transition Totnes will be working with Exeter College on the design. The Ibrox club have brought in Arsenal's Jon Toral and Bournemouth's Emerson Hyndman on loan until the end of the season. "January is notoriously difficult," Warburton explained. "January can end up becoming very expensive if you overspend on players and don't get the value you have to see." The Rangers boss hinted he would be willing to make further loan signings before the transfer window closes in 12 days' time. "Right now it makes sense for us," he said. "If you are the buyer, you end up paying inflated fees because the sellers don't want to lose their best players at this time of year. "If we can bring in anybody else, we will do - but it depends if the right player becomes available at the right price for the club. "It has to be somebody adding something we don't currently possess." Rangers, who host Motherwell in Saturday's Scottish Cup fourth-round tie, trail Premiership leaders Celtic by 19 points. "Of course we plan for the summer and we'll see what becomes available," said Warburton. "But we can't compare ourselves [with Celtic] at the moment in terms of finance. "We're not going to spend recklessly. What we have to do is move at a pace which is right for Rangers. "We have to move as shrewdly and as astutely as we can and when the club can gain success and the income improves, we can move forward from there." Winger Michael O'Halloran, who joined Rangers last January, has been linked with a move away from Ibrox after struggling to hold a first-team place. "I've read some bizarre stories that Michael is off to Hearts," added Warburton. "I'm sure [Hearts head coach] Ian Cathro would have called me. He, I'm sure, knew nothing about it and neither do I. "From our point of view, Michael is one of our players and will be involved on Saturday. Michael is one of many players who wants to play; he needs games. It's the life of a manager that players will be banging on the door if they don't get enough pitch time. "I can understand their frustration. My job is to be honest with them, to keep communicating with them and work with them every day on the training pitch." Inverness, along with Aberdeen, is the subject of an application for a City Deal. It could potentially be worth millions of pounds. Mr Cameron told MPs: "We are committed to examining the city deal with Inverness." He said "very good progress" was being made with the deal for Aberdeen. The prime minister added that the deals were a chance for the UK and Scottish governments to work together. Mr Cameron was responding to a question from Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey MP Drew Hendry, who asked what progress was being made with Inverness' bid. Last year, Scottish Secretary David Mundell confirmed £3m funding for Inverness. The money was to enable the local authority to go ahead with plans to upgrade the grounds and access to Inverness Castle. A second project to create a free public access wi-fi scheme for the city was also expected to be funded. Highland Council said: "We are continuing to work positively and constructively with colleagues in the Scottish and UK governments to secure a City/Region Deal for Inverness and the Highlands." Paul Briggs, 43, remains in hospital more than a year after he was hit by Chelsea Rowe in Birkenhead, Merseyside. Liverpool Crown Court heard the 26-year-old had been driving on the wrong side of the road. Rowe, from Bidston, Wirral, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was jailed for a year. The court was told she had been driving a Nissan Micra when she collided head-on with Merseyside Police officer Pc Briggs on the Birkenhead flyover. He had been riding his motorcycle to work for a nightshift on 3 July, 2015. The married father-of-one, who is also a Gulf War and North Ireland veteran, suffered serious multiple injuries. Rowe was described as a "novice driver" in court. During the sentencing hearing, Mr Briggs' wife Lindsey said her husband's injuries meant it was "much worse than if he had died at the scene". Their ordeal was "beyond torture", she said. "No words can begin to describe the immense pain. "While Paul remains in a horrific state it is beyond devastating and affects every aspect of all our lives for the worse. "We have had to endure seeing him like this every day, for many long difficult months now." She said her husband was in an "unresponsive state" and has been "kept alive purely by medical intervention for so long, it has shattered all of our lives". "I never knew that states worse than death existed until this happened to Paul." Speaking after the sentencing, Merseyside Police's acting Deputy Chief Constable Nikki Holland said Pc Briggs had joined the police to help others in need and "loved" his job. He was highly regarded by his colleagues due to his military experience, she said. She added: "If ever there was a case that reminded us all of the importance of our responsibilities when we are behind the wheel of a car and of the importance of being aware of other road users it is this one." Ernest Kalawa, 24, from Southwark in south London, was attacked in Peckham on 30 December. Metropolitan Police said a post-mortem examination determined he had been killed by multiple stab wounds. A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on New Year's Eve and has been bailed until April. The emergency services were called to Haymerle Road at about 17:30 GMT on 30 December. Mr Kalawa was declared dead at the scene. Police are appealing for witnesses.

Source: HMRC Shree Chauhan, 33, challenged Mr Spicer as he was shopping, asking: "How does it feel to work for a fascist?" - referring to President Donald Trump. Mr Spicer said: "It's such a great country that allows you to be here." Ms Chauhan videoed the encounter and posted it online, drawing 300,000 views since Saturday. She has been attacked online since posting the video, with critics branding her "vile" and accusing her of harassment. When asked by reporters about the encounter, Mr Spicer said: "I interact with individuals all day long. Ninety-nine percent of them are pleasant, even with people who may not agree with our philosophy or programmes, whatever." It's a free country, he added, and people can act how they want, no matter how that's interpreted. "And as long as they stay on the right side of the First Amendment [right to free speech], we're good." The footage shows Mr Spicer responding to the initial barb, about working for a fascist, by smiling and saying: "We have a great country." Ms Chauhan, the founder of an education start-up, then asks him: "Have you helped with the Russia stuff - are you a criminal as well? Have you committed treason, too, just like the president?" Mr Spicer can then be heard saying: "It's such a great country that allows you to be here." "What can you tell me about Russia, Mr Secretary?" the questioner persists. Mr Spicer then walks away saying: "Thank you very much," while Ms Chauhan repeats: "You know you work for a fascist, right?" In a blog post, Ms Chauhan wrote that she is an American citizen who was born and raised in the United States. She said she was "stunned" by the press secretary's comment, writing: "That is racism and it is an implied threat." Ms Chauhan, who is the daughter of immigrants, acknowledged that she was "impolite" in her comments to the Trump aide. She said she wanted to seize the "enormous opportunity... to get answers without the protections normally given to Mr Spicer". Ms Chauhan hit back at her online critics, writing on Twitter: "I have clear feelings for the man who is a fascist's spokesperson. Nazis weren't stopped with niceties." It has been claimed that Mr Spicer's remark - "it's such a great country that allows you to be here" - may have meant it's great that Americans can approach presidential aides even while they are out shopping. Ms Chauhan has rejected that interpretation, saying that Mr Spicer should have said "it's such a great country that allows dissent" if that was what he meant. The Glovers covered the pitch at Huish Park on Friday because of a poor weather forecast. Following their removal by groundstaff, however, referee Lee Collins decided conditions were unplayable. A new date for the fixture has yet to be agreed. Adults with ADHD given supplements for eight weeks had a "modest" improvement in concentration span, hyperactivity, and other symptoms, a small-scale study found. A wide range of nutrients, including vitamin D, iron and calcium, may improve brain functioning, said psychologists in New Zealand. Another study found medication reduced road accidents in men with ADHD. As many as one in 20 adults has ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), marked by symptoms such as lack of attention, concentration difficulties and impulsiveness. ADHD can be treated with medications, such as central nervous system stimulants, which affect the brain and improve symptoms. According to the research, published in The British Journal of Psychiatry, taking a broad range of vitamins and minerals may also help reduce ADHD symptoms. In the study, 80 adults with ADHD were given either supplements containing vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, magnesium, ferritin, iron, calcium, zinc and copper, or a dummy pill. After eight weeks of treatment those on supplements reported greater improvements in both their inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity compared with those taking the placebo. Psychologists from the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, say the effects of vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) are more modest than medication but may be useful for some people, particularly those seeking alternative treatments. "Our study provides preliminary evidence of the effectiveness for micronutrients in the treatment of ADHD symptoms in adults," said Prof Julia Rucklidge, who led the study. "This could open up treatment options for people with ADHD who may not tolerate medications, or do not respond to first-line treatments." Philip Asherson, professor in molecular psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, said the suggestion that vitamins and minerals improved brain metabolism was intriguing but needed further investigation. "It's a good study, which is very interesting, but really needs replicating," he told the BBC. "The mechanisms behind it remain unclear." Meanwhile, a separate study on ADHD in Sweden suggests medication could save lives on the road. Research indicated almost half of transport accidents involving men with ADHD could be avoided if they were taking medication for their condition. Scientists from the Karolinska Institute studied 17,000 individuals with ADHD over a period of four years using data from health registers. They found individuals with ADHD had a higher risk of being involved in serious transport accidents, such as car or motorcycle crashes, compared with those without ADHD. Transport accidents were lower among men with ADHD who were on medication than among men with ADHD who did not take medication. Calculations showed 41% of transport accidents involving men with ADHD could have been avoided if they had received medication and carried on taking it during the course of the study. A similar effect was not found in women. "Even though many people with ADHD are doing well, our results indicate that the disorder may have very serious consequences," said Henrik Larsson, associate professor at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. "Our study also demonstrates in several different ways that the risk of transport accidents in adult men with ADHD decreases markedly if their condition is treated with medication." The research is published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. NHS Wales' chief executive said 80% of patients who went to A&E did not need admission or follow-up treatment. Pressures in Wales' busiest A&E units last winter led one senior nurse to compare them to a war zone. A Choose Well campaign has been launched by NHS Wales. The winter months put added pressure on the health service as illnesses spread and colder weather leads to a rise in slips, falls and car crashes. Dr Andrew Goodall said: "The vast majority of medical conditions do not need emergency care. "We have one million people who attend our A&E departments [each year]. "But we already know that people don't need to attend - around 80% of people who walk through the front door will not need follow up treatment or admission to a hospital environment." He said lives could be put at risk this winter if patients do not think more carefully about how they use the health service. And inappropriate use of A&E departments and non-urgent calls to the Welsh Ambulance Service had "a real impact". Limited bed availability, longer stays in hospital and patients "not getting the right care at the right time" will all be issues, he predicted. Dr Goodall told BBC Wales that when people are injured or unwell "it does start with them looking after themselves". "We really need people to focus on the fact that they can choose other services, nearer their communities, pharmacies in the high street and even NHS Direct." But the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) said it strongly disagreed with the suggestion that 80% of those attending A&E need not be there. It said its own research found around 15% of A&E patients could be more appropriately seen by a GP or a pharmacist, for example. "The College also disagrees that the way to ensure patients receive the best care is to encourage patients to avoid A&E," said a spokesperson. "Such a strategy in our view will only work where there is significant alternative capacity in primary care where we know there is also significant pressure." Shadow Conservative health minister Darren Millar AM said it was wrong to blame patients for turning up at A&E. "Whilst there are some patients who are irresponsible in the way that they use our emergency departments, the overwhelming majority do so either because they can't access other services or because they are genuinely concerned that they need urgent medical attention," he said. 2,000 seen in accident and emergency 2,400 discharged from hospital 10,000 x-rays carried out 890 999 calls responded to 12,000 outpatient appointments Choose Well wants patients to only go to A&E or to dial 999 if they have a life-threatening condition which needs immediate medical attention. These include: Dr Goodall added: "This is your NHS. It is your responsibility not to put lives at risk but to think and choose well what - if any - service you really need." Last winter, bosses at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales - Wales biggest - called the pressures "relentless" and "unprecedented". It led to routine surgery being cancelled and extra staff were called in. More complex illnesses involving elderly patients and the earlier onset of flu were two of the reasons cited as well as people going to A&E when they could have been treated at home or in the community. A total of 228 people have put themselves at the mercy of the voters, and will battle it out for 90 seats split across 18 constituencies. Many eyes will be on the number of female candidates put forward by the parties, and a total of 70 are set to stand, which marks a 4% rise on last year's proportion. There were 276 candidates running in the 2016 assembly poll, which was a significant increase on the 218 who stood in the 2011 election. But directly contrasting those numbers with the figures this year would be like comparing apples and oranges, for a number of factors. Firstly, the cut in the number of assembly seats from 108 to 90 in this election will have had an effect on the amount of candidates the parties feel it is worthwhile to stand. And the short notice at which the election was called means parties have had much less time to organise and raise funding than they would for a poll during the typical five-year election cycle. That will have been a particular challenge for smaller parties and independents, and five parties that stood last time round will be absent from this year's ballot papers. The reasons mentioned will go some way to explaining why each of the larger parties have cut their overall numbers of candidates. The Democratic Unionist Party drops by six to 38 and Sinn Féin goes from 39 to 34. The Ulster Unionists opt for nine fewer runners with 24, the Social Democratic and Labour Party cuts three to run 21 candidates and the Alliance Party has a reduction of two to 21. But looking at the figures a different way, each of those parties has actually increased their proportion of candidates to seats by about a couple of percent. The Green Party continues to run a candidate in every constituency. The UK Independence Party sees the largest fall in candidate numbers, with just a single name on the papers this year after running 13 in 2016. The Progressive Unionist Party drops from six to three this year, while the Citizens Independent Social Thought Alliance, which ran last year as Cannabis Is Safer Than Alcohol, drops one candidate and now runs four. But People Before Profit are looking to capitalise on their success last year, and have expanded their number from three to seven, while the Traditional Unionist Voice, the Conservative Party, the Workers Party and the Cross Community Labour Alternative all increase their offerings by one, to 14, 13, five and four respectively. Rounding off the list are the 22 independents, one fewer than last year's number. You can find a full breakdown of candidates by constituency at the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland website. Theresa May has said she "fervently" hopes that agreement will be reached between the political parties after the election to form an executive. The prime minister also said the government would do "whatever is necessary" to implement recommendations from the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry report will be acted on. She was responding to a question from Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott in the House of Commons, who asked if the report's recommendations would be implemented if an executive is put together. Mrs May said she would ensure the findings of the HIA report "are taken into account and acted upon". "I don't want to see the benefits that have come of progress being undone," she added.

The announcement by the defence, aerospace and electronics giant will stoke controversy over weapons sales to the Arab kingdom. However, it will hold out a lifeline to aircraft factories in the North West. The UK has been one of the biggest suppliers of defence equipment to Saudi Arabia for more than 40 years, including the 1980s al-Yamamah deal. That deal - worth more than £40bn, according to former BAE chief executive Mike Turner - was credited with saving the company from a near financial crisis. But the supply of arms has come under renewed scrutiny after Saudi Arabia's recent attacks on Yemen. The BBC's Newsnight recently revealed that an influential select committee had compiled a draft report calling for a ban on all exports. A final report from the committee has yet to be released. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has told the Commons that the government had accepted Saudi assurances that British weapons were being used in accordance with international law. For BAE, a new Saudi deal would be an important fillip and a big step towards another contract for the Eurofighter Typhoon. Talks have been underway for more than two years over a five year deal centred on the sale of 48 Typhoon combat aircraft to Saudi Arabia. Typhoon production in the UK - which takes places at factories in Warton in Lancashire - is slowly winding down because of a lack of export orders. At current rates, production would cease in about five years' time. The sale of another 48 aircraft would significantly extend the factories' lives. BAE told the Stock Exchange on Thursday: "Discussions between BAE Systems, the UK government and the Saudi Arabian government are progressing to define the scope and terms of the next five-year Saudi-British Defence Co-operation Programme." The scheme runs between junction 28 for Mansfield and junction 31 for Worksop. Highways England say it will improve journey times and reduce congestion. The smart motorway uses technology to monitor traffic levels and adjust speed limits via overhead electronic signs. Fire crews were called to the Swindon site on Saturday morning. Four fire engines and an aerial unit dealt with a fire in the die cast facility which was evacuated. A spokesman for the firm said: "A small equipment fire occurred...while routine weekend maintenance work was taking place. "Two associates were taken to hospital as a precautionary measure." He added: "There will be no adverse impact to production which will continue as normal on Monday morning." The Japanese firm employs about 2,500 workers in Swindon, which is described as the "global hub" for Honda's five-door Civic model. Having given Wales a first-half lead, Bale struck a post with five minutes left, just moments before Aleksandar Mitrovic headed Serbia level. The point leaves Chris Coleman's men third in Group D, four points behind leaders the Republic of Ireland, whom they face in Dublin on 24 March. "We have to keep fighting," said Bale. "We believe we can still do it. We need to keep working hard, keep doing the things we do and we will get a bit of luck at some point." Saturday's match at Cardiff City Stadium was the third time in succession Wales had squandered a lead to draw. Coleman's side remain unbeaten in the campaign, but the four-point gap between them and the Republic of Ireland is significant, with only one team able to qualify automatically from the group. The two teams face each other in a potentially decisive match at Dublin's Aviva Stadium in March, and Coleman believes his side can revive their hopes of qualifying for a second successive major tournament for the first time in their history. "We know it's going to be tough but we're well capable of going there and getting a result," he said. "We know that, we've proven that in the past. "We're going to go into a fantastic atmosphere at the Aviva Stadium and Ireland are playing on the front foot, playing with confidence - they deserve to be top. "It's the best game. We couldn't have picked a better one. It's going to be a fantastic challenge for us and we look forward to that." Bale said Wales had missed a chance to boost their hopes of going to Russia in 2018. "We have to look at it as two points dropped," the Real Madrid forward told Sky Sports. "We were at home, we felt confident going into the game, we were 1-0 up to the 85th minute. "We are just disappointed. I thought we did great in the first half. "In the second half we did not play as well, but we dug in and we showed our heart, but it was disappointing to concede at the end." More than 1,000 people protested outside the governing Popular Party (PP) headquarters in the capital. There is widespread anger over allegations of illegal cash payments to members of the conservative PP. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is under pressure to give an explanation to parliament. He denies wrongdoing. The demonstrations on Thursday night caused disruption to traffic in central Madrid. Protesters held placards calling on the government to resign. There was also a protest outside the PP offices in Valencia. The corruption allegations coincide with Spain's worst economic crisis for decades, with record unemployment and many Spaniards struggling to make ends meet. The PP's former treasurer, Luis Barcenas, is in custody facing trial for corruption and tax fraud. He denies the allegations. He says he made numerous bonus payments - in cash - to Mr Rajoy and other senior party members, out of the party slush fund of illegal donations by businesses. Ledgers detailing such payments, and apparently written by Mr Barcenas, have been published in two Spanish newspapers - El Pais and El Mundo. Mr Rajoy and other PP members have repeatedly denied that they received illegal payments. The prime minister has accused Mr Barcenas of blackmail. For now at least there is no sign that Mr Rajoy might resign over the scandal, the BBC's Tom Burridge reports from Madrid. The PP has a comfortable majority in parliament. His white BMW collided head-on with a Volkswagen Polo on Ayr Road in Larkhall at about 17:00 on Saturday. He sustained serious head injuries and has been transferred to a specialist unit at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. A mother and daughter in the Volkswagen, aged 58 and 24, are being treated in Wishaw General Hospital and are both described as "stable". The casualties received prompt treatment because an ambulance was close to the scene of the crash. PC Gregg Dick said: "Thankfully at the time of the crash an ambulance happened to be passing and the paramedics were able to stop and assist the injured at the scene. "From our investigations there were other cars on the road when the crash happened and I would appeal to anyone who saw the crash or who may have information that will assist officers with their inquiries to contact Motherwell Trunk Roads Policing Unit via 101." The A71 - between Ayr Road and Ashgillhhead Road - was closed for around six hours. Daniela Ruggiero, 18, and her passenger Charlotte Dove, 17, were on the A10 in Hertfordshire when Luiz Rocker's car hit the back of their vehicle. Rocker, 48, admitted causing death by careless driving and was cleared of the more serious dangerous driving charge. He was given a 16-month jail sentence suspended for two years. At St Albans Crown Court, judge Mark Dennis QC also disqualified Rocker, of Selwyn Court, Tower Road, Ware, from driving for 18 months. Addressing the public gallery, he said: "I hope the families and friends will come to terms with the approach I have had to take." During the trial, the court heard Ms Ruggiero, from Hoddesdon, was driving on the northbound carriageway between High Cross and Standon at about 07:45 BST on 15 October 2013 when the deer leapt over the central barrier. She and Ms Dove, from Cheshunt, who were both dancers, were left shaken but unhurt as their Citroen came to a stop. Rocker's car then smashed into the back of their vehicle at 68mph, causing the Citroen's fuel tank to rupture and catch fire when ignited by a spark, with the teenagers trapped inside. Prosecutors argued Rocker had failed to brake in time or reduce his speed before crashing. But Rocker said there was nothing he could have done to prevent the collision. The jury heard he got out of his car to try to rescue the teenagers, but was unable to do so because of the severity of the flames. Judge Dennis QC said Rocker had made "determined and repeated efforts to rescue Daniela and Charlotte". "No-one hearing about this case could have anything but the deepest sympathy," he told the court. "One's heart goes out to the families and friends for their loss."

If you have any more to share, you can do it in the following ways: Concerns were raised about the A354 Rodwell Road, commonly known as Boot Hill, at a public meeting in the Old Town Hall on Tuesday. Several residents also complained about resulting health problems and demanded improvements. Dorset Highways said it plans to make improvements in March. During the meeting, the road was highlighted as having the worst air quality in the borough according to 2014 figures from Weymouth and Portland Borough Council Public Health. "The sheer amount of traffic using that road now is unbelievable," said Phil Hoskins, who has lived on Boot Hill since 1970. "I should be able to park outside my house, but now I've got no chance." June Pope, who has been a Boot Hill resident since 1956, described the situation as "terrible". "You can't go in the garden because of the pollution and the noise - you can't hear the television sometimes," she said. Green Party county councillor for Rodwell, Clare Sutton, who chaired the meeting, said changes to the traffic system in Weymouth prior to 2012 Olympic sailing events held in the town had "exacerbated" the situation. Dorset Highways said improvements would be made to the layout of the junction at the foot of Boot Hill in March. Mike Harries, director for environment at the county council, said: "We hope that by changing the phasing of the traffic lights at the junction at the bottom of Boot Hill, we will see an improvement to the overall flow of traffic, a reduction in congestion and, importantly, improve air quality." A blast hit a car carrying Igor Plotnitsky, head of the Luhansk People's Republic, in the city of Luhansk. Two others were also hurt. Mr Plotnitsky, 52, is said to be stable after hospital treatment. The rebels said Ukrainian "saboteurs" might be behind the attack - a claim denied by the Ukrainian authorities. Describing Saturday's attack as a "terrorist" act, the pro-Russian rebels pledged to punish the perpetrators. They say an explosive device was planted near a set of traffic lights and detonated when Mr Plotnitsky's car was passing at about 08:00 local time (11:00 GMT). A number of rebel commanders have been killed in similar attacks in recent months, sparking some speculation about a power struggle within rebel ranks. The Luhansk People's Republic and the larger Donetsk People's Republic were proclaimed by the separatists shortly after conflict broke out in eastern Ukraine in 2014. More than 9,500 people - including many civilians - have since been killed in the two regions. A ceasefire was agreed in February 2015 but both sides accuse each other of almost daily shelling across the separation line. The clashes in the east began shortly after Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula. Kiev and the West accuse Moscow of arming the rebels and sending Russian regular troops to fight in eastern Ukraine. The Kremlin denies deploying troops but admits that Russian volunteers have been fighting alongside the rebels. The 31-year-old Glenullin club man captained the Oak Leaf county at Minor, Under-21 and senior level. O'Kane led the Minors to the All-Ireland Championship in 2002. "Ever since my father started taking me to Derry games as a child, all I wanted to do was to play for my county," he said. "From the moment I first pulled on a Derry jersey as a minor in 2001, I could never have expected that 15 years later I would still be playing for my county. "I have worked under six different management teams and can say that each one has worked hard for the good of Derry football and to develop both myself and all the players." Gareth Browning, 36 from Thames Valley Police, died on 1 April after suffering catastrophic brain injuries in 2013. A police helicopter hovered in salute as the funeral cortège was led through a guard of honour at St Mary's Church in Chieveley, Berkshire. Luke Hayward was jailed in 2014 for causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving. PC Browning's father was among those who gave a reading during the funeral service on Thursday. The chief constable of Thames Valley Police, Francis Hapgood, also paid tribute. PC Browning, a father of young twins, was on patrol in Reading in November 2013 when he tried to stop a stolen car driven by Hayward, a prisoner on day release. But the car hit him at speed and he suffered catastrophic brain injuries, needing constant care. Thames Valley Police Federation chairman Craig O'Leary said he and his colleagues would "never forget" PC Browning's "dedicated service and sacrifice to the public of Thames Valley". He added: "The loss of a colleague is never an easy thing to come to terms with and this has had a profound impact on so many people. "It's at times like this when you see that the strength and togetherness of the police family is stronger than ever. "We will never forget Gareth and our thoughts remain with his family, friends and close colleagues at this time." PC Browning's name has been added to a national police memorial in London. Thames Valley Police and the Crown Prosecution Service are investigating whether further action can be taken against Hayward in light of PC Browning's death. Ronnie Barogiannis, 43, worked under the name of a former colleague, treating hundreds of people at a dental practice in East Yorkshire. Police said eight patients suffered serious damage due to his actions. Barogiannis admitted fraud and five counts of causing actual bodily harm. He was previously fined for operating illegally in Scotland in 2013. Hull Crown Court heard how his latest deception, in 2013 and 2014, was reported to police after he inadvertently sent through personal data under his real name when the Smiles Dental Practice in Cottingham changed ownership. The new owners contacted the General Dental Council and found he had previously been prevented from operating a dental practice in Scotland, police said. He was arrested in October 2014 and released on bail with his Greek passport seized, but fled four days later using a Swedish passport. Barogiannis, who completed a dentistry degree in 2003 but never registered as a dentist, was apprehended while working in Sweden in March 2016 and extradited back to the UK. The police investigation found he was paid almost £50,000 for his illegal work. Officers spoke to about 700 patients during the investigation. Timeline of events 2003 - Barogiannis completes a dentistry degree in Sweden 2013 - Sets up own dental practice in Scotland August 2013 - Fined and convicted for failing to register his practice Sept 2013 - Starts to work in Cottingham under a false identity October 2014 - Arrested and released on bail, but flees the country March 2016 - Arrested in Sweden and extradited back to the UK Det Con Lucy Khan, who led the investigation, called Barogiannis a "very believable conman who weaved a complex series of lies". "I hope that the jail sentence will prevent others from operating as bogus medical professionals," she said. CCTV footage of Connor Hammond, 21, celebrating the attack with accomplice Liam Laing was released following their sentencing at Truro Crown Court. Hammond was convicted of murdering Rifleman David Curnow while on a night out in Redruth, Cornwall in September. Laing, also 21, had previously admitted murder. Judge Mr Justice Dingemans jailed the pair for life and set a tariff of 16 years for Hammond and 13-and-a-half years for Laing. Mr Curnow - believed to be the youngest British soldier to serve in Afghanistan - died after he was set upon by Laing and Hammond after leaving The Zone nightclub in Redruth. Hammond and Laing left the building at around the same time and appeared behind the soldier and his friend Lee Griffiths. The trial heard Mr Curnow "went to the ground three times during the attack". He was found unconscious with head injuries in the Chapel Street area and later died in hospital. Mr Curnow, who served in 4 Rifles Battalion, also played for West Cornwall Football Club, which described him as a "promising young talent" and "an amazing human being". The prosecution said that what happened to Mr Curnow was "simple bad luck" and that it was "a case of two young men using unnecessary violence". Speaking outside court, Det Insp Ben Beckerleg said Mr Curnow had been "minding his own business" on the night he was attacked. "It was a particularly vicious and unprovoked attack by the two defendants upon David Curnow, who was not looking for a fight". It has been introduced in two districts - Lisburn and Castlereagh, and Ards and North Down. Police said research showed up to 85% of drive-offs are "genuine mistakes" that do not require their input. Now, petrol station retailers will be responsible for tracing drivers who do not pay. Letters were sent to petrol stations in the two districts in July explaining the change, which came into effect at the start of August. David Cardwell, who runs a petrol station in Portavogie, County Down, said police were "washing their hands" of the issue. The new process means retailers will "have to send a letter to the Driver Vehicle and Licensing Agency (DVLA) to get the information on the car, which is a £2.50 fee and tell them that there's been a criminal act", he said. Retailers will then have to write to the driver to ask them if they were in the petrol station on a certain date and to ask them to pay for the fuel, added Mr Cardwell. The new system means if the person responsible does not pay up, retailers will have to take civil action through the courts, he said. "They (the PSNI) are not giving us any back-up at all with it, they said they haven't got the manpower to address it," added Mr Cardwell. "If someone drives off with £10 of fuel then we have to add £2.50 onto it. It's not worth chasing someone up for that, we'll probably just have to write it off." DUP councillor for Ards and North Down, Robert Adair, said the scheme was a "free for all" that would lead to an increase in the number of people driving off without paying. "It's the wrong approach for the police, they're basically asking petrol stations to do the job for the police," he said. "I am asking the PSNI to withdraw the scheme until there's consultation with the local business community here, because we have solutions and a way forward that could resolve this." The PSNI said that in the vast majority of such cases, their role was to help petrol stations recover civil debts, which was placing a "substantial but preventable burden" on police resources. "The purpose of this pilot is to remove much of that burden and free up local police time to deal with criminality, identify and apprehend offenders and keep people safe," said a police statement. The scheme would be subject to an "ongoing review" to assess the impact on policing in the districts where it is being piloted, said the PSNI.

Rowett had led the Blues to seventh in the Championship before his exit. The Cumbrians are currently in talks with an overseas party with regard to a financial involvement in the club. "We need to nail down what happens, because we're quite happy with [boss] Keith Curle," Clibbens said. He told BBC Radio Cumbria: "I don't know the details [of the Rowett departure] but these are the realities of the world. "Having a load of cash is only part of what we need to deal with here." Carlisle have been linked with new investment for almost two years, while recent negotiations have accelerated to a point where finer details are being discussed. On the field, manager Curle has assembled a team which is two points behind leaders Plymouth and second in League Two after 21 games. "The investor has outlined his overall vision of what he thinks he would do with his club," Clibbens added. "We've got to drill down and see what that means in reality. "That, being brutal, means right down to who will manage the team."

Carlisle chief executive Nigel Clibbens says Gary Rowett's sacking as manager of Birmingham, after the club acquired new owners, highlights the need for thorough negotiations with investors.

The balance will be interesting because it will give some indication of who's eying a possible election... Meanwhile, Parliament continues to hover in the strange legislative limbo that has opened up between the last dregs of David Cameron's premiership and the first bright new bills from Theresa May. Floating in this uncharted void are some worthy technical measures, (Pension Schemes Bill and the Small Charitable Donations and Childcare Payments Bill), some distance from the cutting edge of political controversy; and the behemoth that is the Investigatory Powers Bill, which is both a Cameron hangover and an authentic May bill, since the PM was very much identified with the need for tougher powers to monitor criminal and terrorist use of the internet in her incarnation as home secretary. This week could see the Lords final acquiescence to the IP Bill, after a couple of rounds of ping-pong with the Commons. The other big parliamentary clash of the week is a bit more surprising; on Friday the Labour MP Pat Glass has a private member's bill with the ominous title, the Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill. As I write, a week before the second reading debate, the text has not been published. But it is already clear that is a heavily political measure, managed from the Labour Whips Office. (Anyone who suspects that forensic inspection will reveal the fingerprints of the new Chief Whip, Nick Brown, should note that the bill predates his arrival, so if there's a cunning plan here, it's a Rosie Winterton plan that he's continuing.) Those with long memories may recall that Labour waged a very smart and ultimately effective campaign to frustrate a package of boundary changes, which would have greatly benefited the Conservatives at the last election - this bill seems to have a similar purpose. There is a three line whip to ensure at least 100 Labour MPs attend and ensure that it gets the support necessary to bring it to a vote - but the real pinch point for this measure may be a filibuster at report stage. The result could be some tactical game-playing aimed at ensuring there is an extra day or even days available for report stage, later in the process, so we might even see Labour MPs killing off other private members' bills to ensure there is plenty of debating time available Here's my rundown of the week ahead: . The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Education questions. It's probable that some post half-term ministerial statements or urgent questions will follow at 3.30pm. Surely someone is going to find a way to extract some reaction from the government to the election of President Trump? The day's legislating is the second reading debate on the Technical and Further Education Bill, which aims to make sure it is of high quality and responds to the needs of employers. The bill includes the proposal to extend the role of the Institute for Apprenticeships to cover technical education, which will mean that the Institute, which was set up to approve apprenticeship standards, will now ensure that all technical training is of the highest quality. In Westminster Hall (at 4.30pm) there will be a debate on e-petition 168678 which calls for police dogs and horses given protection that reflects their status if assaulted in the line of duty. This would be similar to the US Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection. The Lords are not sitting. The Commons opens (11.30am) with Health questions, to be followed by a Business Statement from the Leader of the House. This suggests there are some changes to the Parliamentary agenda in prospect. The Conservative and former nurse, Maria Caulfield, presents a Ten Minute Rule Bill to require defibrillators to be provided in schools and colleges, and in sports centres and other public facilities, and to provide training and funding. And then MPs will be asked to overturn the remaining Lords amendment to the Investigatory Powers Bill, the Crossbench peer Baroness Hollins' "Leveson" amendment, on costs in legal cases involving media not signed up to the new press regulator. That is followed by what will probably be a fairly ritual scrutiny of the Small Charitable Donations and Childcare Payments Bill, which tweaks the legislation which established the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS), to simplify it, and extend access to smaller and newer charities. It also makes technical amendments to the legislation which establishes tax-free childcare, the government's scheme to support parents' childcare costs, scheduled to be rolled out from early 2017. Labour have put down amendments on preventing fraud and abuse of the scheme, but this does not have the feel of a major Commons clash a-brewing. The adjournment does have more than the usual political edge; Labour Remainer, Chuka Umunna will be raising the issue of the funding of the NHS after the UK leaves the EU - he will call on the government to use the forthcoming Autumn Statement to commit to spending the £350m extra a week on the NHS that the Vote Leave campaign, and its members now in government promised during the Referendum campaign. He will argue that this was one of the key promises of the Vote Leave campaign, and should now be honoured. Committee picks are the Culture, Media and Sport hearing (10.30am) on ticket abuse and the Home Affairs hearing (2.45pm) on hate crime and its violent consequences - where the witnesses include: Nick Antjoule, the Hate Crime Manager for Galop, which provides support for LGBT people experiencing domestic abuse; Leonard Cheshire Disability; Hope Not Hate; Centre for the Analysis of Social Media: Demos and Dr Pete Burnap of Cardiff University's Social Data Science Lab. And watch out for super-chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, at Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (at 10.15am), talking about food waste. In the Lords (2.30pm) peers' main task to decide whether to push back again at the Commons and insist on the Hollis amendment to the Investigatory Powers Bill (see above). I suspect they will feel they've pushed this one as far as they're willing, and will fold with suitable grace - thus allowing the bill to clear Parliament and be dispatched to the Palace for Royal Assent. That is followed by a short debate on the recognition and future security of museums such as the People's History Museum led by Labour's former leader of the Lords, Baroness Royall of Blaisdon. The Commons meets (11.30am) for half an hour of International Development questions, followed, at noon by Prime Minister's question time. Then, the SNP's Alison Thewliss presents a Ten Minute Rule Bill on feeding products for babies and children - she has argued in the past that a modest increase in breastfeeding could cut childhood obesity by perhaps 5%, equivalent to 16,300 obese young children, thus cutting annual health-care spending by £1.63m. The day's main debate will be on an Opposition motion - to be announced. My committee pick is the first public session of the new super-Committee on Exiting the EU (9.15 am). They'll be taking evidence from a number of experts on the UK's negotiating objectives for withdrawal from the EU. Typically this kind of session is the opening gambit for a select committee inquiry, and they are usually rather staid affairs. But it will afford a glimpse of how this rather important new kid on the Committee Corridor will function, under its chair, Hilary Benn and likely vice Chair, Michael Gove. In the Lords (from 3pm), the main business is the first day of detailed committee stage scrutiny of the Pension Schemes Bill, which seeks to protect savers and maintain confidence in master trust schemes and provide members of occupational pension schemes with a "level of protection equivalent to that of members of personal protection schemes". In the Commons (9.30am), MPs open Transport questions, followed by the usual Business Statement from the Leader of the House, setting out what MPs will be debating in the coming week. The main debates are on subjects chosen by the Backbench Business Committee - reductions to Employment Support Allowance and Universal Credit, and then International Men's Day. The adjournment debate is on the "Maxwellisation" process. The SNP's Roger Mullin is concerned about "Maxwellisation", which allows those to be criticised by the report of an inquiry to see the criticisms in draft, and respond - as with Tony Blair and other former ministers to the Chilcot report on the Iraq War. Mr Mullin will argue that this undermines the independence of inquiries, and allows the protagonists to delay the publication of reports, and he will call for a time limit on the process for future inquiries. In Westminster Hall (1.30pm) MPs will have a chance to debate the Environmental Audit Committee's report on Soil Health which warned that neglecting the issue could lead to reduced food security, increased greenhouse gas emissions, greater flood risk, and damage to public health. EASC Chair Mary Creagh believes that Brexit will provide an opportunity to reconfigure the farm subsidy system to deal with some of these points. And the debate may also provide a chance for MPs whose constituencies are affected to complain about the government scrapping clean-up grants for contaminated land. The second debate (3pm) is on the future of the Post Office - led by Labour MP Kelvin Hopkins. In the Lords (from 11am) my eye was caught by a question on the drink-drive limit in England and Wales from the Green Party peer, Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb, asking ministers if they are planning to lower the limit. A series of debates on subjects chosen by backbench peers will then follow. The first - in line with the new convention of holding at least one Brexit-related debate on a Thursday - is on the impact on the economy and investment of fluctuations in the level of the pound sterling, led by the Conservative Peer, Baroness McIntosh of Pickering, formerly MP and MEP Anne McIntosh. That is followed by debates on the application of immigration policy to overseas students at UK universities and colleges; and on Economic Partnership Agreements negotiated between the European Commission and economic regions of Africa. It's private members' bill day in the Commons, again. And as noted above, the main event will probably be the second reading debate on the Labour MP Pat Glass's Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill (see above), which may not leave much time for measures further down the agenda, like Andrew Gwynne's Disability Equality Training (Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Drivers) Bill or Ian Liddell-Grainger's Kew Gardens (Leases) Bill. One moment to watch out for will be the formal read-out of bills which were on the agenda, but not debates, at 2.30pm.... most are pole-axed by a Whip shouting "object" as the bill title is read out. This ritual prevents them from being deemed to have had a formal second reading, and so allowed into committee stage. The government supported the Conservative Edward Argar's Registration of Marriage Bill, (it would allow the names of mothers to be listed on wedding certificates) which lurks in the lower reaches of the agenda, but it was "objected" by a backbench MP in revenge for the blocking of John Nicholson's "Turing Bill" a couple of weeks ago. Will it be objected again, or will it be allowed to go forward into committee? And there are more private members' bills in the Lords (from 10am). First up, is the Labour peer Lord Lipsey's International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) (Amendment) Bill, which would allow the government to report on whether it was meeting its international aid target every five years, rather than annually. The wily Lord Lipsey is a Whitehall veteran and knows that few private members' bills from peers make it onto the statute books - so his purpose is probably to goad a minister into some response, rather than to actually change the law. Peers are also due to debate the detail of the Register of Arms Brokers Bill proposed by the Lib Dem, Baroness Jolly, to tighten export controls on arms, and then the detail of the Renters' Rights Bill from another Lib Dem, Baroness Grender. This deals with issues like a ban on banning letting agents charging fees to tenants, and mandatory electrical checks. As I write there are no amendments down for either bill - and if that does not change, the debates will be formal rubber-stampings, sending them on to report stage consideration.

MPs return to work on Monday, and peers on Tuesday - and it's always interesting to note who's tanned and relaxed after a mini-break in the sun, and who's pallid and sniffling after a few extra days of constituency work.

The 38-year-old left the Shakers in the summer and has scored eight goals in 24 appearances for Crewe this season. Chris Brass is currently in interim charge at Gigg Lane after David Flitcroft left the club last month. Bury are 20th in League One after a winless run of 14 games in all competitions.

Bury have approached Crewe about bringing striker Ryan Lowe back to the club as a player-coach, reports BBC Radio Manchester.

Eman Abd El Aty, said to have weighed around 500kg, was flown to India for treatment on a special chartered plane. She has left for Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, to receive further treatment. She was flying business class on a passenger flight. Her bariatric surgeon had said it was a "mistake" to move her. The final days of Ms Abd El Aty's stay in India were marred after her sister, Shaimaa Selim, released a short video on social media alleging that her sister was still unable to speak or move, and had not lost as much weight as the hospital was claiming. The hospital strongly denied the allegations. The surgeon, Dr Muffi Lakdawala, told an Indian news channel that Ms Selim had wanted her sister to stay in hospital until she was able to walk again, but orthopaedic specialists had told her Ms Abd El Aty would never walk again. He said this had prompted Ms Selim to make her allegations and also take the decision to move her to Abu Dhabi. "I am heartbroken to have Eman leave my care and to be told that I cannot continue my treatment of her in phases, as I had planned to. However, I have confidence in her own ability to heal and we will always wish her the best in our hearts," he said. Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese and carrying an excessive amount of body fat. The two most common types of weight loss surgery are: Gastric band, where a band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so a smaller amount of food is required to make someone feel full Gastric bypass, where the digestive system is re-routed past most of the stomach so less food is digested to make someone feel full PCSO Mike Ober was on foot patrol in Bradford-on-Avon on Saturday when he spotted an open door at a social club. Going in to investigate, he was greeted by a group of women who "went wild with excitement" thinking he was the male stripper they had ordered. He said: "The party was about to get started and they thought I was early." He added: "I had to beat a hasty retreat." Mr Ober, who is in his mid-20s and engaged, said the social club was not normally used at the weekend, so he had decided to "poke his head round the door" and investigate. "There were no cars in the car park and the door was propped open," he said. "But as I went in there were loud cheers and someone shouted: "Oh, are you the stripogram?" After being told he was too early and to come back later, Mr Ober walked away, passing the real stripper on his way in. "It's a matter of personal taste, but the uniforms aren't very flattering, so I guess [the mix-up] is flattering," he said. On Saturday the president had condemned media reporting of the number of people attending his inauguration. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said there was "an obsession... to de-legitimise this president. We're not going to sit around and take it." But photos show more people attended the inauguration of Mr Trump's predecessor Barack Obama in 2009. Trump's economic plans - what will actually happen? Mr Priebus said on Fox News Sunday that the "media from day one has been talking about de-legitimising the election". He said Mr Trump's presidency would fight such coverage "tooth and nail every day". The latest row was mainly sparked by the inauguration figures. There were no official estimates. Mr Trump said during a visit to the CIA on Saturday that it "looked like a million and a half people", but provided no evidence. He called reporters "among the most dishonest human beings on Earth" for saying it was far lower. His press secretary Sean Spicer outlined figures amounting to 720,000 people in Washington's National Mall, despite also saying that "no-one had numbers" for the inauguration. He also said it was the "largest audience to ever witness an inauguration - period - both in person and around the globe". Many US outlets, using photos of the National Mall showing the difference in numbers attending the 2009 inauguration and Mr Trump's, hit out at Mr Spicer's statements. The New York Times denounced "false claims" and described the statements as a "striking display of invective and grievance at the dawn of a presidency". Both CNN and ABC News went into detail to refute Mr Spicer's claims. Top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway also criticised the media in a feisty exchange on NBC. She was challenged by Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press to say why Mr Spicer's first appearance had been to "utter a probable falsehood". "If we are going to keep referring to our press secretary in those type of terms, I think we are going to have to rethink our relationship here," she said. Pressed on Mr Spicer's claims, she said he had been presenting "alternative facts". "Alternative facts are not facts they are falsehoods," Todd replied. Ms Conway insisted there was "no way to really quantify crowds" and, taking offence at a laugh from the reporter. said: "You can laugh at me all you want. It's symbolic of the way we are treated by the press the way you just laughed at me." She also highlighted another issue that caused friction with the media - the Time Magazine reporter who incorrectly reported that a bust of civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr had been removed from the Oval Office. The reporter later apologised for the error. Mr Trump on Sunday tweeted about television ratings of the inauguration, saying that 31 million people had watched, 11 million more than four years ago. He also referred to Saturday's day of protests that saw millions in the US and hundreds of thousands around the globe take to the streets in some 600 demonstrations against his presidency. His initial tweet said he was "under the impression that we just had an election", asking: "Why didn't these people vote?" A later tweet said that "peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy". In other Sunday morning media exchanges: The Oscar winner is urging film lovers to help the campaign to raise the final instalment for the £450,000 project. The National Library of Scotland's moving image archive will move to Glasgow's Kelvin Hall in the autumn. Film producer Iain Smith, actors Brian Cox, Alan Cumming and Bill Paterson are also backing the campaign. Mr Scorsese, who set up the World Cinema Foundation, said: "Moving image archives hold our common memory. "For that reason, we need to care for them, and treasure them. That is our obligation. We owe it to future generations. "Films shouldn't be locked away and neglected in a vault somewhere. They need to be protected and preserved, but they also need to be seen, studied, and enjoyed. "I enthusiastically support the efforts to develop the Scottish Moving Image Archive, and I urge you all to support this vitally important initiative." Scotland's moving image archive is the national collection of amateur and professional films which reflect Scottish life, society, industry and culture from the 1890s to the present day. It holds over 46,000 items in total. In the autumn it will move from its current home on an industrial estate at Hillington outside Glasgow to a purpose-built facility at the Kelvin Hall. The central location in Scotland's largest city will make it easier for the public to visit and take advantage of the new facilities for exploring the archive. The fundraising campaign will help to create improved viewing and learning areas including videowalls to showcase films, a public drop-in area, a curated content area, research space, viewing booths and manuscript consultation space. There will also be a small cinema to "provide a high quality screening experience". Visitors to the Kelvin Hall will also be able to access digital content from across the library's 24 million items and explore a permanent exhibition space. Dr John Scally, National Library of Scotland librarian said: "The move to the Kelvin Hall will provide the perfect showcase for our moving image archive and for our wider digital collections. "It is important to have such high profile endorsements for the developments we are planning. We will be working hard to raise the funds needed to make this into a memorable destination for visitors." She won the women's 50m butterfly title before helping the women's 4x50m medley relay team to victory, while the men's team claimed silver. Guy Davies added his second gold of the games in the men's 50m breaststroke. Further golds were added by the men's mountain bike team and athlete Catherine Reid defended her 400m title. The influx of medals saw the team climb above Jersey with a total of 50 - 17 golds, 17 silvers and 16 bronzes. Marshall's double success meant every member of the Manx swimming team has now won a medal. Along with Reid's victory on the track, Rachael Franklin (1,500m) and Amber Sibbald (100m hurdles) won silver, with Hannah Riley third in the latter event. Nick Corlett narrowly missed out on individual mountain biking gold, while Elliot Baxter won the bronze, but the men won the team event, with the women adding silver. Meanwhile, the men's football team reached the semi-finals with a convincing 4-0 victory over Ynys Mon, their third win in three matches, and will face Guernsey next. The Games, which act as an Olympics for smaller islands, involves 2,500 competitors from 23 different islands around the world competing in 14 different sports. The hosts led 23-6 at the break, James Hook scoring the game's first try and converting Ben Morgan's effort as he contributed 18 first-half points. Nick Evans slotted Quins' only points before the break, but failed to emerge after the interval because of injury. Steve McColl slid over late on as Gloucester made it four wins in five games in all competitions. Defeat for a weakened Quins side, with Mike Brown and Chris Robshaw among five England internationals lining up against Italy in the Six Nations on Sunday, saw the Londoners miss the chance to go third in the table. Gloucester, who only have Scotland's Greig Laidlaw in Six Nations action this weekend, move up to seventh in the Premiership standings, with Wasps capable of swapping from eighth back up to fifth on Sunday if they overcome league leaders Saracens. Relive Saturday's Premiership rugby The Cherry and Whites made a scintillating start, with Charlie Sharples collecting Evans' kick-off before racing clear and sending a dangerous chip kick through for Marland Yarde to defuse. It eventually led to Hook going over inside three minutes, with the fly-half converting his own score. Hook and Evans traded penalties but, as Quins' looked to compose themselves after Gloucester's fast start, Ross Chisholm was sin-binned on 16 minutes. Some slick play from Willi Heinz, Matt Kvesic and Sharples, following a period of unrelenting pressure by the hosts, saw Morgan go over before the break. While both sides threatened after the interval, it was not until four minutes from time that McColl slid in for the final score, finishing off a fine team effort that started with a Harlequins turnover following some fierce defending from the hosts. Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys: Media playback is not supported on this device "It was a fantastic performance. I thought we were comprehensive winners. "The risk of coming into this week's game, on the back of the emotion of the Bath win last week, was how we would respond to a different week. "Charlie Sharples set the tone right from the first kick-off with that lift and the energy we brought to the first half was superb. The result was, though, built on our defence." Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea: "Gloucester were better in every facet of the game on the day. We were thoroughly beaten. I was delighted to see the fight in the team, that they did not just fold. "They played a much better way in the second half than they did in the first half but, at that stage, the game was done. "We have to dust ourselves down and say we will never play like we did in the first half again, but credit to David and the Gloucester team, they were fantastic. "But you look at yourselves and we are just thoroughly hacked off by the way we played."

In a recent green paper, the government questioned whether licence fee-funded programmes and websites have a negative impact on commercial media companies. The BBC Trust asked accountants KPMG to examine whether that was the case. The report said the recession and rise in internet usage - rather than the BBC's local news websites - have hurt local newspaper revenues since 2007. In recent years, newspaper publishers have criticised the scale of the corporation's online news presence, saying it amounts to unfair competition. The corporation is currently negotiating with the government over the renewal of its royal charter. As part of the process, the government has published a green paper, which asked questions like: "Is the BBC crowding out commercial competition and, if so, is this justified?" The KPMG report said the decline in local newspaper circulations and advertising revenues "can be explained by a combination of the economic recession and long period of slow growth which followed, and the steady rise in internet penetration". It concluded that, while there was "some overlap" between local papers and the BBC's local online news, local papers "provide a significant amount of additional content that is simply not available from the BBC website". Social media and other local news websites - not just the BBC - could also have affected local newspaper circulations, it said, while websites like eBay and Gumtree have provided alternatives to classified advertising. "For these reasons, there is good reason to suppose that the increased adoption of the internet, and the way we all share information across it, has had a larger effect on local newspapers' performance than the growth of the BBC online in isolation," the report said. "The BBC's online presence (IE BBC News website clicks) had no statistically significant effect when added to this equation." Last month, the News Media Association, which represents news publishers across the UK, called on the government to impose controls on the BBC's local news services so they do not jeopardise the papers' transition to the digital era. Meanwhile, the report also found there was "no firm evidence" that an increase in BBC entertainment or news TV programmes had a detrimental effect on the hours of such shows broadcast by commercial rivals. BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead said: "The BBC operates in a vibrant market, not a vacuum, and this report finds that the current BBC does not freeze out commercial investment simply by existing. "However, the Trust is also clear that, as a public service broadcaster with £3.7bn of public money, the BBC's effect on the market must continue to be carefully regulated to ensure a high quality range of media is maintained." An ITV spokesman said: "We will be studying this BBC Trust report into the BBC's market impact and its findings about the corporation crowding out the commercial sector." Mahafarid Amir-Khosravi was executed at Tehran's Evin prison on Saturday. Amir-Khosravi was convicted over a scam which came to light in 2011 and involved using fake documents to obtain credit, leading to the embezzlement of around $2.6bn (£1.5bn). The case forced the then government to deny its members had been involved. The case broke in September 2011 when an investment firm was accused of forging documents to obtain credit from at least seven Iranian banks over a four-year period. The money was reportedly used to buy state-owned companies under the government's privatisation scheme. The affair fuelled weeks of political infighting between then President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran's ruling hierarchy of clerics, with conservative hardliners accusing Mr Ahmadinejad's economy minister of failing to take action over the fraud. Rights groups have criticised Iran's use of the death penalty, saying that it is one of the world's heaviest users of the punishment. They forecast that average prices will rise from £280,000 to £419,000 by 2025. London house prices are forecast to nearly double to £931,000. The average cost of renting a home in the UK is forecast to rise too, though by only 27%, taking the average rent from £134 a week to £171. Mark Hayward of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) said: "House prices are only going to go one way, and unfortunately that is up. "For so many already priced out of the market, this is news aspiring house buyers will not want to hear. "Ongoing house price inflation, combined with low wage inflation, tighter lending restrictions and a shortage of affordable housing, means owning a home will continue to be distant dream for many," he added. Despite the big headline numbers in the forecast from the estate and lettings agents, the predicted rise in house prices assumes that the increases seen in the past 10 years or so will simply continue for the next decade. That would mean UK average prices rising by 4.1% a year, and average London house prices rising by 6.3% a year. The predicted rise in rents is even slower, at 2.5% a year across the UK as a whole in the next decade, and 3% a year in London. That would take average weekly rents in the capital, from £234 now, to £314 by 2025. The figures have been compiled for the estate and letting agents by the economics consultancy the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR). Its analysis argues that the recent decline in the rate of home ownership will boost the demand for rented homes. So the report forecasts that the proportion of households living in private rented accommodation will rise, from 20% now to almost 29% in 10 years' time. The projection from the estate agents comes as the Land Registry reports that house prices, in England and Wales, rose by an average of 0.4% in November. That left the annual growth rate at 5.6%, the same as in October. The Registry's figures, which include the many cash sales but exclude newly built properties, leave the price of the average home at £186,325. Judge JC Nicholson set a 11 July 2016 trial date for Dylann Roof, who said nothing throughout the hearing. Mr Roof is charged with killing the black parishioners during a bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. He faces nine counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder and has not yet entered a plea. The FBI said earlier this month that Mr Roof was able to buy a gun due to a background check failure. He should have been stopped from purchasing a weapon due to a felony charge, but information was incorrectly entered into the computer system. "We are all sick that this happened. We wish we could turn back time," said FBI chief James Comey. The FBI admission came on the same day South Carolina removed the Confederate flag from the capitol grounds in a ceremony attended by some relatives of the church shooting victims. Mr Roof had been pictured holding the flag, which some say is a symbol of slavery. President Barack Obama knew one of the victims, Pastor Clementa Pinckney, and gave a eulogy at his funeral. Justin McCabe, 43, of Antrim Road, Belfast, but currently a serving prisoner, stole the phone when the bus he was on broke down in Castledawson. When McCabe tried to use the phone on the replacement bus it made quacking and mooing noises. The lorry driver used the app to track the phone and gave chase until he was able to pull over in front of the bus. He retrieved the phone but was ordered off the bus by its driver. The lorry driver then followed the bus to Londonderry, where McCabe was arrested. McCabe, who has 163 criminal convictions, was jailed to two months for theft and resisting police. An official with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said the spread of the disease across the country made it very difficult to control. The West African state is facing a battle to contain the outbreak after cases were reported in areas that are hundreds of kilometres apart. Ebola is spread by close contact and kills between 25% and 90% of victims. "We are facing an epidemic of a magnitude never before seen in terms of the distribution of cases," Mariano Lugli, a co-ordinator in Guinea for the aid group said. "This geographical spread is worrisome because it will greatly complicate the tasks of the organisations working to control the epidemic," Mr Lugli added. The outbreak of Ebola had centred around Guinea's remote south-eastern region of Nzerekore but it took the authorities six weeks to identify the disease. It has now spread to neighbouring Liberia, as well as Guinea's capital, Conakry, which has a population of two million people. Senegalese singer Youssou Ndour cancelled a concert in Conakry on Saturday because of the outbreak. Although he had already travelled to the city, he told the BBC it would not be a good idea to bring hundreds or thousands of people together in an enclosed area. Figures released overnight by Guinea's health ministry showed that there had been 78 deaths from 122 cases of suspected Ebola since January, up from 70. Of these, there were 22 laboratory confirmed cases of Ebola, the ministry said. Liberia has recorded a total of seven suspected and confirmed cases, including four deaths, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. Liberia's Health Minister Walter Gwenigale on Monday warned people to stop having sex because the virus was spread via bodily fluids. This was in addition to existing advice to stop shaking hands and kissing. The BBC's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, says residents are increasingly concerned and many supermarket workers are wearing gloves as a precaution. The first two Liberians confirmed as dying from Ebola were sisters, one of whom had recently returned from Guinea. Sierra Leone has also reported five suspected cases, none of which have been confirmed yet, while Senegal, another neighbour of Guinea's, has closed its land border. Outbreaks of Ebola occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests, WHO says. Christine Lagarde also said she expected there would be only a modest acceleration in 2016. And she warned there could be an economic "vicious cycle" caused by higher US interest rates and the Chinese slowdown. She said these threats could jeopardise recent economic gains in Asia, Latin America and Asia. Ms Lagarde was addressing the Council of the Americas ahead of next week's IMF and World Bank annual meetings and the release of the Fund's World Economic Outlook on Tuesday. She said: "The good news is that we are seeing a modest pickup in advanced economies. The moderate recovery is strengthening in the euro Area; Japan is returning to positive growth; and activity remains robust in the US and the UK as well. "The not-so-good news is that emerging economies are likely to see their fifth consecutive year of declining rates of growth." She added: "On the economic front, there is ... reason to be concerned. The prospect of rising interest rates in the United States and China's slowdown are contributing to uncertainty and higher market volatility. "Rising US interest rates and a stronger dollar could reveal currency mismatches, leading to corporate defaults... and a vicious cycle between corporates, banks, and sovereigns," Ms Lagarde added. She also pointed to the "sharp deceleration" in the growth of global trade and the "rapid drop" in commodity prices, which is damaging the finances of commodity-exporting emerging market economies. The Little and Large Cafe yarn bombing team created the sea-themed displays and placed them on pavements in Saundersfoot. However, members of the club said despite them being wired on, nine have been stolen in the past two weeks. Local police community support officer Graham Kendall appealed for information. He said: "It is a shame because the group worked really hard on knitting them, and the colourful designs brightened up the street." Lyn Sandall of the group said they had attracted a lot of interest. "On the scale of things this is not that important, but a lot of hard work has gone into trying to make the village a happy, cheerful place, and this happens," she added. While many people got to ask both candidates questions, there were a few key characters who stole the limelight. The first was Abigail Eatock, who asked the opening question of Mrs May. She didn't pull any punches: "Why should the public trust anything you say or any of your policies when you have a known track record of broken promises and back tracking during your time as home secretary and now as prime minister?" Abigail, who is the chair of the University of York's UKIP Society, impressed people with her challenge to Mrs May. "Just let this woman quiz Theresa May for the rest of the show. Amazing." wrote the Huffington Post's Owen Bennett. The UKIP supporter's contribution was taken to heart by many on the left of UK politics with Labour member Jo Philips simply tweeting "Star!! #Abigail" Self-described stand-up comedian and socialist Chris Coltrane tweeted "Abigail for Prime Minister". Though he later deleted the tweet. "Abigail you are my life hero." tweeted Labour member Rosa. Was Abigail satisfied with Theresa May's answer to her question? "I felt it was a lot of political spiel," she told the BBC, adding that she felt the answer was too rehearsed. Abigail may have shot to prominence for her direct questions but Twitter took another audience member to heart for pure aesthetics. Whilst sporting a large and bushy moustache this audience member first questioned Theresa May on her manifesto and later Jeremy Corbyn about his defence policy. "I want to vote for this man's moustache immediately" wrote Paul Southall. "That moustache is truly magnificent" another user concurred. "In a sea of uncertainty... there is a handlebar moustache" proclaimed Nancy Dewe Matthews. Inevitably he was dubbed moustache man by social media users. "Handlebar moustache man's moustache presumably already has 17 Twitter parody accounts." joked actor David Schneider. At the time of writing one account named simply Moustache Man had been created. To some he had the look of a character who had tumbled out of a bedtime story: The issue of Trident turned into one of the livelier moments of Jeremy Corbyn's questions from the audience. It also demonstrated how Twitter won't hesitate to depict someone as a pantomime villain. Audience member Adam Murgatroyd kicked off discussion by asking Mr Corbyn: "If Britain were under imminent threat from nuclear weapons how would you react?" Mr Murgatroyd said he was "concerned" that Mr Corbyn wouldn't commit to using nuclear weapons in retaliation to a nuclear attack. Mr Murgatroyd was quickly portrayed by users as someone hungry to use nuclear weapons. A tweet from Joey Fazza shared more than 700 times showed Mr Murgatroyd with the caption: "When you want to blow millions of people up but Corbs isn't into a world that's a nuclear wasteland." Another tweet shared almost 600 times showed him with the caption: "Let me push the button, I will push it, let me push it." But TV presenter Piers Morgan's tweet echoing the concerns of Mr Murgatroyd was also widely shared: "So a rogue state nukes London then prepares to nuke Birmingham & Sheffield. Corbyn would do nothing to stop them." By contrast a lady who accused the rest of the audience of being "obsessed with murdering millions of people" was lionised by twitter users. "I love this woman. She speaks for me", wrote Labour member Helen Cherry. "Kudos to the young woman who who expressed surprise so many in #bbcqt audience are obsessed with genocide", tweeted Ian Fraser But journalist Jane Merrick didn't agree: "The woman who said her fellow #bbcqt audience members were 'keen' on killing millions was so disingenuous it's beyond belief." Compiled by the BBC's UGC and Social Media team The fourth-placed Fifers were beaten 3-0 by Alloa as the Spiders dropped to sixth after losing 3-1 away to Brechin City, who moved up to fifth. Livi do, however, have two games in hand over the Wasps. Third-placed Airdrieonians, as well as East Fife, Brechin and Queen's Park, each have one game in hand. Greig Spence's header and Kevin Cawley's strike put Alloa in command against the Fifers before Jamie Longworth nodded the hosts' third. Queen's Park went ahead early on against Brechin through Bryan Wharton's free-kick, but Ally Love quickly levelled - also from a set play. Dougie Hill headed City in front before the break and Andy Jackson struck their third in stoppage time. The home side were put in to bat at Stormont and lost their first two wickets for only ten runs. McCollum's influence was immense, hitting 15 boundaries and accumulating more than half the team's total of 233. Leinster faced 16 overs before the rain intervened having reached 22 for none by the close. Hanley Energy Irish Interprovincial - Day One Northern Knights 233 (85.4 overs): J McCollum 119 no, R McKinley 29, E Richardson 4-33, P Chase 3-41, G Delaney 3-48 Leinster Lightning 22 for none (8.1 overs) Corey Neilson's Panthers side won their third round group stage over the weekend, with wins in their opening two matches securing top spot in the group. The back-to-back wins ensured defeat in their last match was irrelevant. They will play a four-team group final on the weekend of 13-15 January 2017, but the venue has not yet been decided. Danish club Odense Bulldogs, Ritten Sport from Italy, and Kazakhstan club Beibarys Atyrau are the other three teams who have made it through. Panthers, who have lost six in a row in the Elite League and have dropped to sixth place, began their "semi-final" group matches with a close-fought 5-4 win over the hosts, Odense. Ollie Betteridge opened the scoring, and though the Danes equalised, Brad Moran, Matt Carter and Petr Kalus then put Nottingham 4-1 up. Brian McGrattan added another to make it 5-2 in the third period, and though Odense scored twice more, the Panthers held on for the victory. A second win secured their place in the final, and again it was close, as Panthers saw off French club Angers Ducs 4-3. They twice fell behind, with Jeff Brown and Brad Moran equalising, before Kristian Kudroc put them in front for the first time at 3-2. McGrattan was on target again to make it 4-2, with Angers replying in the final minute. Panthers lost 3-1 to Ukrainian side Donbass in their final match, with Moran on the scoresheet. He will be replacing Dominic Treadwell-Collins who has been in charge for the past two and a half years. Under his reign, EastEnders saw the arrival of the Carter family - with Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright - and the Who Killed Lucy Beale? plot. O'Connor takes over from Treadwell-Collins in the late spring. Before he leaves, Treadwell-Collins will oversee Dame Barbara Windsor's final episodes as Peggy Mitchell and the return of Peggy's son Grant, played by Ross Kemp. Treadwell-Collins said: "After two and a half years of giving my blood to Walford, it is time for me to move on to other things - and keep EastEnders creatively refreshed, something that it has to do to stay at the top of its game. "I made the decision to leave back in the summer, but decided to stay longer for two reasons. Firstly, to oversee Peggy's last episodes, which will air in May. When Dame Barbara comes to you to produce her final episodes, you cannot say no... "Secondly, I needed to find the right person to take over from me. This is an incredible all-consuming show, and in Sean, I know that we have found someone who already has Albert Square in his bones and who adores EastEnders as much as I do." O'Connor, who joined The Archers as editor in September 2013, returns to EastEnders after an 11-year gap, having previously worked on the programme as director, producer and story producer. His storylines included the big reveal Kat Slater was Zoe Slater's mother and not her sister, the domestic violence storyline between Little Mo and Trevor and the courtship of Dot Cotton and Jim Branning. "Dominic hands over EastEnders in robust health," he said. "It's a testament to his endless commitment, infectious enthusiasm and rich imagination that the programme remains BBC One's flagship drama. "I'm thrilled to be back in Walford and particularly delighted to work once more with many dear friends and colleagues both backstage and on screen." The WRVS - formerly the Women's Royal Voluntary Service - has dropped the "W" to mark its 75th anniversary. It helps more than 100,000 older people live independently and about 6,000 of its 40,000 volunteers are men. Chief executive David McCullough said more volunteers than ever were needed to cope with an ageing population. Originally founded as the Women's Voluntary Services in 1938, the charity was formed to help recruit women into the Air Raid Precautions movement, providing civilians with emergency rest centres, food and first aid. Now relaunched as the Royal Voluntary Service, it organises social activities for older people, delivers meals on wheels and helps with essential tasks such as food shopping. The relaunch comes as a poll of 500 people aged over 75 for the charity by PCP Market Research found that 26% believe they will need support to continue living independently in their homes. Extrapolating from that survey, RVS says it could mean an estimated 1.3 million elderly people across Britain are in need of help. Mr McCullough said: "We know that more older people than ever are going to need the support that our volunteers provide, which is why we are changing our name to make it clear we are not a charity that only supports women or just wants female volunteers. "I'm really proud of the fact that since we were founded 75 years ago as the Women's Voluntary Services, we have inspired volunteers to meet the main social challenges of the time and today we're doing exactly the same. "As the state contracts and the number of older people grow we are able to provide a solution through our volunteers who want to make a positive difference to the lives of the older people they support." It is one of four options put forward by Betsi Cadwaladr health board at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan. It had originally planned to reduce services to midwife-led care but then reversed the move as it faced a judicial review. The new plans on a fresh consultation will be discussed next week. The board blamed the maternity care decisions on problems recruiting safe numbers of staff, with the service heavily dependent on locums. Other proposals now being put forward include keeping services as they are and continuing to manage current risks; temporary changes to to maternity services at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, and temporary changes to to maternity services Ysbyty Gwynedd. However, temporary changes to maternity services at Glan Clwyd Hospital is the "preferred option". The proposals will be discussed at an extraordinary board meeting next Tuesday and if they are approved by members, the public consultation will be launched on 24 August with the results expected to be presented to the board in November. Police were called to an incident in Queensberry Street at about 01:15 on Saturday. The victim was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary and later transferred to the Western General Infirmary in Edinburgh, where he is being treated for a head injury. His condition was described as critical. Det Ch Insp Colin Burnie said: "Our investigation is ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding this incident and officers are currently carrying out door-to-door inquiries and studying CCTV footage to gather more information on this incident and whoever is responsible." The blaze then spread to a nearby classroom at R. L. Hughes Primary School on Mayfield Street in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, on Friday evening. Fire crews said the "significant" fire was out before it reached the main school. Greater Manchester Police said they believe the fire was started deliberately. Seven teenagers, aged between 14 and 17, are wanted as part of the arson investigation. Kayleigh Haywood, from Measham in Leicestershire, was last seen when she was dropped off outside her former school at about 18:00 GMT on Friday. Appealing directly to her, parents Stephanie Haywood and Martin Whitby said: "We just want our KJ home." Two men, aged 27 and 28, arrested on Monday remain in police custody. Kayleigh's parents described her as a bubbly, loving, and caring girl. "We all miss you so much especially Mertle, your little sister. Please come home, you're not in any trouble, we just want you back safe and sound," they said. Kayleigh is a student at Ashby School but previously attended Ibstock Community College, where she was dropped off outside on Friday. A mobile phone believed to be Kayleigh's was found by a member of the public in the Sence Valley Forest Park area of Ibstock, and police believe she may have been there on Saturday afternoon. Residents are being encouraged to search their back gardens and outbuildings, leaving specially trained officers to undertake the coordinated searches. Cadets and volunteers distributed leaflets across Ibstock on Tuesday evening in the hope it will prompt new information. Kayleigh's parents added: "If anyone knows anything or has any information please contact the police. We just want our KJ home." Detectives have trawled CCTV to try to find her, carried out house to house enquiries and spoken to her friends, family and school. Det Ch Supt David Sandall said: "The longer Kayleigh is missing, the more concerned we are becoming for her safety." Officers were called to Barton Road, where they made the discovery, at about 12:40 BST. Hampshire Police said it had launched an investigation. A 53-year-old man has been arrested and is helping officers with their enquiries, the force said. Police remain at the scene and the property is cordoned off. Footage filmed by dozens of passers-by and on CCTV showed men in crash helmets smashing their way into Winsor Bishop in Norwich on 5 August. Police soon made arrests by following a van along the A11 to near Thetford. Five men and a 17-year-old, all from London, had previously admitted robbery at Norwich Crown Court. Alfredo Rojasvargas, 24, and Bradley McMillan, 22, both of Islington, were sentenced to six years in prison. Tommy McKenzie, 25, and Curtis Bradbury, both of Hillingdon, were each given six years in prison. Mark Moloney, 18, also of Islington, was given five years in a young offenders institution. Dillon Zambon, 17, of Islington, was given three years in a young offenders institution. The men used a sledgehammer, pick axe handle and an axe to smash their way into the shop in London Street. Three of the men grabbed five Rolex and Cartier watches from the shop while their accomplices revved scooters outside. The men travelled to Norwich in a silver transit van on the morning of 5 August, parking it on land between Aylsham Road and Drayton Road, Norfolk Police said. They then rode into the city centre on three scooters, with one driver and one passenger on each. At about 10:50 BST they pulled up outside the jewellers where the pillion passengers began attacking the glazed door with weapons, forcing their way in. Two of the riders held up the security shutter which had been activated, allowing the three men to get inside. They made their getaway on the scooters. Police said information from more than 40 999 calls from the public helped them track the offenders. A police helicopter located them in woodland near Thetford where they were caught. All six had been arrested within an hour of the raid. Their jail sentences "reflected the seriousness of the offence", Det Con Katie Barnard said. Erick Maina, 15, was found in Fazakerley, Liverpool, on Saturday. The cause of death has not been revealed. Racist comments about him were later found daubed near his school, Maricourt Catholic High School in Maghull. An 18-year-old man from Netherton and a 17-year-old from Bootle are accused of racially aggravated criminal damage. Both are due before Sefton magistrates. On Monday, the school's head teacher Brendan McLoughlin paid tribute to the "bright and intelligent" pupil. "Erick was a popular and well-liked pupil at the school. He represented his peers as form captain and was a member of the school council," he said. Detectives are investigating the boy's death on behalf of the Sefton coroner. The inquiry, led by barrister Clive Sheldon QC, was started by the Football Association in December, after a series of allegations from former players. The full scale of the review into the scandal can now be revealed. Investigators have started searching 5,000 boxes of FA archives - each containing up to 1,000 pages. The inquiry will last several months, with a final report not expected to be published until 2018. The review is asking anyone involved with football who wishes to provide information about the way in which clubs or the FA dealt with concerns over child sex abuse between 1970 and 2005 to come forward. Media playback is not supported on this device Sheldon - an expert in safeguarding and child protection - has written to all 65,000 affiliated clubs seeking assistance, and has begun meeting individuals who can contribute. Clubs and officials who fail to co-operate could face disciplinary action. Sheldon will investigate whether there is any evidence of a paedophile network having operated within the sport, and will take into account girls' football. He will also look into the use of confidentiality agreements - or 'gagging clauses' - by clubs following the revelation Chelsea paid a former player £50,000 on condition he kept quiet about the abuse he said he had suffered by the club's former scout Eddie Heath. Sheldon will make recommendations about the current safeguarding system if he identifies weaknesses, and refer any potential criminal offence to Operation Hydrant, the unit co-ordinating police investigations into child sexual abuse across the UK. Police have identified more than 250 potential suspects and 560 victims, with 311 clubs involved. In a report, the committee criticised Scottish Natural Heritage for failing to provide leadership in controlling the deer population. The animals are culled to keep their numbers down and protect the landscape from over-grazing. But efforts to manage those numbers have been failing. The report acknowledges that the overall deer population has been declining over the past decade but says the animals are still having a significant impact on the natural heritage. The committee calls for greater focus and urgency to address the challenges of deer management across Scotland. Convener Graeme Dey MSP said: "The Committee welcomes the fact that some progress has been made but it's clear that some Deer Management Groups and the Scottish Natural Heritage need to raise their game to deliver the step change needed. "Habitats damaged by deer take a long time to recover. We simply can't go on like this if we're to achieve the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy targets. "That's why we've outlined recommendations for Scottish Natural Heritage and the Scottish Government to act to protect and hopefully restore these habitats as a matter of urgency." The key findings of the report are: Sue Walker, SNH's acting chairwoman, said: "Scotland's deer populations are a key part of our outstanding natural heritage. "At this point, SNH hasn't seen the report, but we are grateful to the committee for the care and time it has spent considering the challenges of deer management across both the Scottish lowlands and uplands. "We will of course be considering the conclusions carefully and look forward to the Cabinet Secretary's response to the report." The report, commissioned by TheCityUK, also said up to 75,000 jobs could go. The sector is concerned at the prospect of a so-called "hard Brexit", with the UK leaving the EU single market in order to regain control of immigration. On Sunday, the Prime Minister said "we are not leaving the EU only to give up control of immigration again". Her comments helped to trigger a fall in the pound, which dropped to a 31-year low against the dollar on Tuesday. Brexit: What are the options? The report, which was written by management consultancy Oliver Wyman, modelled several possible outcomes for the UK financial services industry after Brexit. In one scenario, it said the UK might retain access to the European Economic Area on similar terms, meaning it would be able to continue trading across the bloc without the need for individual country licences. This would cause less disruption, it said, costing the industry up to 4,000 jobs and £2bn of revenues a year. However, another scenario would see the UK quit the bloc "without any regulatory equivalence". This would cost the industry up to £20bn and 35,000 jobs, it said - although the "knock-on impact" on related business activities could cost a further £18bn and 40,000 jobs. Hector Sants, head of Oliver Wyman and former chief executive of the Financial Services Authority, told the BBC's Today programme: "We are not taking a view on the outcome of the negotiations. "What we have done here is to create a robust and independent database." He said he hoped the research would create a dialogue between the City and government. "We are confident that these are numbers that people can coalesce around and discuss." But Kevin Dowd, an economics professor at Durham University and member of campaign group Economists for Brexit, called the report a "scare story". "The idea we would be held back by leaving the single market makes no sense," he told the BBC. "Most of our financial services business is actually outside the EU, and our share of business with the EU is declining anyway." He added: "Today we're competing with Singapore, New York and Tokyo and so forth, and as far as the City is concerned, those places are the focus." He said the EU was not irrelevant, "just not that important". The Treasury said it was working to ensure companies continued to have access to the single market. "The government has been speaking to the financial services industry to make sure that we understand fully the issues that matter to it as we prepare for negotiations to leave the EU," it said in a statement. The 37-year-old, who had spells at Hearts and Dundee United, has not played since leaving Czech Republic side Blada Moleslav in March. Former Aberdeen and Morton striker Declan McManus has also signed a loan deal at the Kirkcaldy club. McManus, 21, signed for Fleetwood Town last year but has seen his appearances in the first team limited. "It's really tremendous that we have been able to bring in players of the quality of Declan and Rudi," chairman Allan Young told the Raith Rovers website. The UK general election, to choose all 650 members of Parliament, has produced a bit of a surprise result in which no-one is the clear winner. Confused? Here's what you need to know. The ruling Conservative Party (nicknamed the Tories) thought it was going to increase its numbers in Parliament, but has instead lost seats - and its slim majority; it held 330 seats before the election (326 is the magic number for a majority). Instead, the opposition Labour Party has won back many seats. To cap it all off, Prime Minister Theresa May didn't need to call this election - she did so because she thought she'd win a landslide. The result is being seen as a major defeat for her. Remember that the UK is still a monarchy of sorts. There's lots of tradition involved. This scenario is what Brits call a "hung parliament" - which just means that no party has a clear majority by itself. Coalition or minority governments are fairly common in European countries like France, Germany, or close neighbour Ireland - but some in Britain tend to see them as unstable. What happens next is that the largest party asks permission from the Queen to form a government. The monarch will never refuse this request - it's just a tradition in the constitutional monarchy that is the United Kingdom. Theresa May visited the Queen just after noon, and the Conservatives are going to attempt to form a government relying on the backing of the Democratic Unionist Party from Northern Ireland. If they can't, then Labour, the opposition, might try to put together a minority government. Or - always a possibility - there could be another election. In the short term, this is a bit of a problem. Negotiations for the UK leaving the EU are due to start on 20 June, just 11 days after the election. It's possible the UK won't even have a government in place by then. Even if there is one, Theresa May's whole reason for calling the election was to stop "political game-playing" from other parties and give her the political clout to push through Brexit issues. Instead, she has less power, and will need other parties to back her to even form a government at all. The two largest parties both back Brexit, it's just a question of detail. The entire process is less stable now. But, even if there is a delay in getting started, Brexit negotiations will happen - sooner or later. By the morning rush hour, Theresa May was "holed up inside" her official residence, our political correspondent said, "her political gamble having gone so badly wrong". Even before the last few results came in, chatter had already started about resignation - which is not uncommon in the UK. Her main opponent, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, declared she had "lost votes, lost support and lost confidence", and: "I would have thought that's enough to go, actually." Theresa May reportedly says she'll stay on, regardless. But talk of her future prospects is everywhere. Jeremy is sometimes compared to US politician Bernie Sanders. He's an unusual party leader who has pulled off a personal victory here. The lifelong socialist only put his name down for the Labour leadership because no other left-winger wanted to. Bookies gave him odds of 200/1 - but he won anyway, thanks to ordinary members' votes. But the bicycle-riding, gardening, socialist leader didn't have the support of other Labour MPs - who almost immediately tried to push him out. He survived. And while Labour technically lost this election, they made big gains over the 2015 vote. Anecdotal evidence suggests the youth vote turned out for Labour in a big way. Owen Smith, who ran against Mr Corbyn for the leadership, said: "I was clearly wrong in feeling Jeremy wouldn't be able to do this. He proved me wrong and lots of people wrong, and I take my hat off to him." An election could take place in a matter of weeks, but only if the negotiations break down and no-one can form any kind of government. It might seem like there's a lot of politics right now, but that's because: In theory, a government has a set five-year term, so the next election is due in 2022. But - as we've seen - an unexpected election can be called at any time if enough MPs agree to it, or if the government collapses. The Scottish National Party (SNP) had suggested the possibility of another referendum on Scottish independence, in the wake of the Brexit vote (Scotland mostly wanted to stay in the EU). They entered the election campaign in a very dominant position, holding 56 of the 59 seats in Scotland - and were expected to lose some seats, which they did, to a Conservatives surge. Deputy First Minister John Swinney admitted that the possibility of a second referendum on independence had played a "significant" role in the result. Having lost 21 seats as a result, it's very unclear what happens next with the SNP's campaign for independence. The UK doesn't have transfers or any kind of proportional representation, so it's quite hard for independents or small parties to succeed. But - much to the delight of photographers - some candidates run for sheer spectacle, often in high-profile seats against party leaders or prime ministers. This year's candidates included Lord Buckethead, real name unknown, Elmo (not, we believe, of Sesame Street), and Mr Fishfinger Man. Oh, and the Monster Raving Loony party has been campaigning consistently since the 1980s. Want to read more? The BBC is covering this election and all the developments in depth. The 26-year-old was airlifted to hospital after a crash on the M4 motorway. Chairman Steve Parish told the club website: "Pape Souare has this morning undergone surgery on both his jaw and thigh. "He is expected to make a full recovery and should be discharged on Friday." Parrish added: "We would like to make special mention of the London Air Ambulance service who flew Pape directly from the scene to the hospital, ensuring that he rapidly had access to the very best medical care." The Senegalese has made 44 Premier League appearances for the Eagles. The Royal Marines Museum in Eastney will relocate to a boathouse next to The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. A new Centre for Discovery will also feature more than two million artefacts, currently housed elsewhere. Prof Dominic Tweddle, director general of NMRN, said it would "deepen and enrich" the visitor experience. He said collections currently "dispersed and at risk across the country" in 30 separate locations, many in storage, would go on show. Sir Peter Luff, chairman of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: "We loved the National Museum of the Royal Navy's plans to tell the very human story of the Royal Navy. "The Centre for Discovery will provide a new, spacious venue to relate this narrative while the relocation of the Royal Marines Museum will give it a more prominent home and increased visitor numbers. "Having already invested £55m in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, we are confident this latest award of National Lottery money will enable the dockyard to build on its reputation as one of the South East's most popular heritage destinations." The Royal Marines Museum will move into the Grade II-listed Victorian Boathouse 6. It is also receiving £2m from money raised from fines after the Libor banking scandal, with a further £2.5m coming from fundraising. The new museum is due to open in 2019.

The men aged 33, 32, 30 and 29 have been charged with a number of offences related to drug trafficking and money laundering. Officers recovered £800,000 of 'skunk' and cash during searches in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter. Six people were arrested. Eight have also been held in Italy. The men who have been charged are due to appear at Newtownards Magistrates' Court on Thursday. On Wednesday evening a 37-year-old man was arrested in England, to be brought to Northern Ireland for questioning. He was detained by police in Birmingham but it is expected that he will be transferred on Tuesday to be interviewed by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). The six people arrested in Northern Ireland were four men and two women who were questioned on suspicion of the importation of cannabis and conspiracy to supply cannabis and money laundering. The two women, aged 29 and 26, have since been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Four men have been charged following an international investigation into the supply of 'skunk' cannabis into Northern Ireland.

Their protest coincided with President Muhammadu Buhari's arrival at the National Assembly to present next year's budget. The African champions then marched to President Buhari's villa, where an aide said they would be paid in two days. They have refused to leave a nearby hotel until they receive win bonuses of $17,150 each (£13,500). At the president's villa Mr Buhari's Chief of Staff Malam Abba Kyari told them the government was aware of their situation and promised it would be resolved within two days. Speaking to the BBC's Naziru Mikailu in Abuja, one of the players said they had decided to go back to their hotel and wait for the government to fulfil its promise. The issue has also been attracting the attention of other Nigerian sport stars. "My feelings are hurt by the treatment of our champions, the Super Falcons. This issue must be resolved for the dignity of our sports people," tweeted former Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo. The Super Falcons clinched their eighth women's Africa Cup of Nations title with a 1-0 win over hosts Cameroon on 3 December. However the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has so far paid them less than $2,000 each. The NFF is also understood to have promised to pay allowances for qualifying for the tournament. But the organisation, which receives direct funding from government, is in dire straits after Nigeria slipped into recession in August for the first time in more than a decade. It is not the first time the Super Falcons and the NFF have clashed over unpaid bonuses and allowances. Twelve years ago, the team remained in their hotel in South Africa for three days after the Nigeria FA, as the NFF was then called, failed to pay their bonuses for winning the 2004 African Women's Championship. Nigerian teams have frequently been affected by pay disputes, with coaches regularly going unpaid and players boycotting training during qualifiers or at tournaments over unpaid bonuses. The NFF's financial difficulties have forced them to cut backroom staff and slash the salaries and allowances of the various national team coaches. However this does not include new Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr.

Nigeria's victorious women's football team have protested outside parliament in Abuja over unpaid win bonuses.

Zhang Chunxian vowed to use "iron fists" on separatists in the region, Xinhua news agency says. The warning comes on the anniversary of deadly ethnic riots that saw almost 200 people killed in 2009. Rights group Amnesty International has accused China of intimidating the ethnic Uighur minority. Xinjiang province is the country's most westerly region and borders former Soviet states. China witnessed its worst ethnic violence in decades when riots erupted between the majority Han Chinese and the minority Uighurs in the capital city of Urumqi, says the BBC's Martin Patience. The Turkic-speaking Uighurs, who have lived in China's shadow for centuries, accuse Beijing of religious and political persecution. Mr Zhang, who is Communist Party secretary of the Xinjiang committee, urged soldiers to remain vigilant against hostile forces and strike separatists, terrorists and extremists with ''iron fists'', Xinhua says. "We should leave terrorists no place to hide," he said, adding that the region was stable but faced "severe challenges". London-based rights group Amnesty International (AI) issued a statement saying that Chinese authorities "continue to silence those speaking out on abuses" in the region. "The general trend toward repression that we see all over China is particularly pronounced in Xinjiang," Catherine Baber, AI Asia-Pacific director, said in a statement . She urged the Chinese government to reveal the whereabouts of those who have disappeared and end the persecution of family members seeking answers. On Monday, there were reports that two Uighur men who allegedly tried to hijack a plane in Xinjiang had died.

A top Chinese official has pledged a crackdown on "separatist forces" in Xinjiang, three years after ethnic violence there, state-run media report.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested. A 14-year-old arrested earlier was released without charge. A spokesperson for the fire service said it was alerted to the blaze at Dawn Paper's premises on Donore Road at around 22:00 local time on Saturday. The fire service said it expected to have crews at the site for the rest of the day. The roof of the building has collapsed and what remains of it is expected to smoulder for a number of days. At one point during the night 12 units of the fire brigade tackled the blaze. There are no reports of any casualties. Dawn Paper was established in 1988 and the company manufactures industrial cleaning paper and domestic tissue paper products for the Irish market.

Hogan put Brentford ahead in the first minute with a right-foot shot but Graham soon equalised from close range. Graham scored his second from the penalty spot after a foul on Corry Evans but Hogan hit back for Brentford from six yards on the half-hour mark. Harlee Dean's own goal restored Rovers' lead, which proved decisive. Blackburn went into the match without a win for more than a month and it looked like that wait would continue when Hogan hit the back of their net after just 33 seconds. But Graham grabbed his two goals in the space of five minutes to turn the game on its head, only for Hogan to hit back with a second of his own. Brentford captain Dean then scored what was to be the winning goal past his own goalkeeper before half-time to condemn the Bees to their fourth defeat in their last six games. Blackburn manager Owen Coyle: "I'm so pleased for the players, the fans, because it would have been easy losing a goal after 30 seconds to feel sorry for ourselves, but nothing could be further from the truth. "We kept persevering with our quality of play and got ourselves in front at 2-1 and we tried to add to it. When you don't get that goal, at the level we operate, you can get punished. "Having got in front and looking good to add to it, we find ourselves at 2-2 and have to pick ourselves up again, which we do. "There was a lot to be pleased about. I'm just delighted how we went about it. It's an important three points." Brentford manager Dean Smith: "I just felt that we gave them a helping hand with the goals. We didn't defend the second phase of a corner well enough. They overloaded the back post. Daniel's (Bentley) made a great save but they reacted quicker. "The second goal, we get done with a one-two and go to ground in the box. And the third goal, Egs (John Egan) gets caught out, and then we don't delay the lad crossing it and Harlee doesn't sort his feet out quick enough, so we certainly gave them a helping hand. "It's a concern that we've conceded three goals because that's very unlike us. We've kept seven clean sheets this season. We went with a more attacking formation today because we haven't been converting our chances over the last few games. But I can't fault them second half and if they keep giving that, they'll get back to winning ways." Match ends, Blackburn Rovers 3, Brentford 2. Second Half ends, Blackburn Rovers 3, Brentford 2.

Amidst the outpouring of grief, one image was repeated again and again: little girls, their hair in two perfect "cinnamon buns", smiling for the camera. Fisher was, of course, much more than the role she won aged 19, yet Princess Leia - and an iconic hairstyle - have come to symbolise the actress, author and script doctor. Fisher took it in her stride, telling Time Out in 2014: "I am Leia and Leia is me. We've overlapped each other because my life has been so cartoony or superhero-like. By this age, it would be ridiculous if I had a problem with it." But what is it about that particular hairstyle - which only appeared in the first film - which has sparked so many imaginations over the years? And where did it come from? According to Brandon Alinger, the author of Star Wars Costumes: The Original Trilogy, the buns do not even appear in any of the concept artwork done for Leia in the preparation of the film. In later interviews, Star Wars creator George Lucas said he looked to Mexico's female revolutionaries, or "soldaderas", who joined the uprising at the start of the 20th Century. "I went with a kind of south-western Pancho Villa woman revolutionary look, which is what that is. The buns are basically from turn-of-the-century Mexico," Lucas told Time in 2002. It makes sense to look to such a band of women when creating a character far removed from a traditional princess awaiting rescue. "George didn't want a damsel in distress, didn't want your stereotypical princess - he wanted a fighter, he wanted someone who was independent," Fisher explained to the BBC in 1977. There is only one problem with Lucas's claim. Female Mexican revolutionaries are not known for their hairstyles - or certainly not hairstyles of that sort. "As much as I would like to say that Princess Leia's hairstyle was based on the 'soldaderas' from the Mexican Revolution, this was probably not the case," Tabea Linhard, author of Fearless women in the Mexican Revolution and the Spanish Civil War, told the BBC. "If you take a look at photos from the period, you see women with long braids, some wear hats, on occasion they cover their hair with a shawl. "Conditions on the battlefields were harsh, and the women's task included carrying supplies, taking care of all the men's needs, serving as spies or smugglers; some also participated in battle. "So a hairstyle like Leia's probably was not a convenient option." However, the hairstyle does appear to have roots in North American history. Kendra Van Cleave of Frock Flicks, a website which reviews the accuracy of costumes in historical dramas, told the BBC that while such buns had been fashionable in medieval Europe, the "most obvious" inspiration is the "squash blossom" style worn by women of the Hopi tribe in Arizona. She said: "This consists of two side arrangements which aren't actually buns - they're more loops of hair. "The hair is parted in the centre, then wrapped around a U-shaped 'hair bow' made of wood. The hair is wrapped in a figure of eight pattern, then tied at the middle and spread out to create the two semi-circles. "This hairstyle became more widely known in the early 20th century due to photography," says Ms Van Cleave, who adds it saw a revival in the 1920s. "Of course, the 1920s was an era when women in the Western hemisphere were shaking up traditional gender roles - American women got the vote in 1920, and were attending college and taking on professional employment in unprecedented numbers. "Many of the arty, bohemian women of the 1920s adopted 'ethnic' fashion as a means of demonstrating their difference from the mainstream and therefore as a feminist statement." The Type 056 stealth frigate has a sleek design that helps it evade radar detection, and needs just one-third of the crew used by its predecessor. The first ship was delivered to the Chinese navy in Shanghai on Monday, state-run news agency Xinhua said. China said the new vessel is part of a systematic upgrading of naval hardware. The frigate - one of 20 being built - will mainly be deployed on escort missions and for anti-submarine operations. Xinhua said it would enhance the country's ability to safeguard national security and defend maritime sovereignty. The arrival of the new vessel comes at a time when China is in dispute with a number of neighbouring countries over national boundaries in the East and South China Seas. Mostly recently Beijing has been arguing with Tokyo over the Senkaku Islands - known as the Diaoyu Islands in Chinese - which are controlled by Japan but also claimed by China. Beijing is in the middle of a programme to improve its navy, launching its first aircraft carrier, Liaoning, two years ago, the BBC's Michael Bristow reports. Chinese President Hu Jintao said last year that the country needed to transform itself into a "maritime power". "Tamim Chowdhury is dead," said senior police officer Sanwar Hossain, referring to the Bangladeshi-Canadian suspected mastermind. Three other suspected militants were killed by police during the raid. The cafe attack began on 1 July when the militants entered the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka. They held hostages for 12 hours before police stormed the cafe, rescuing 13, killing six gunmen and arresting another. Twenty hostages and two police officers were killed in the attack, the worst in the country's history. The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, but the government dismissed the group's claim, saying it was the work of domestic militants from a banned Islamist group, Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). "Tamim Chowdhury is dead," Mr Hossain said. "He is the... attack mastermind and the leader of JMB". Police earlier engaged in an hour-long gun battle with extremists at Paikpara in Narayanganj, 25km (16 miles) south of Dhaka, he added. Chowdhury returned to Bangladesh from Canada in 2013. Police said the man told the girl that he wanted to hire her as a model, after he contacted her on Instagram. They said he claimed to worked at Base Models - a legitimate company, of which he was not an employee. Base Models said anyone approached online by someone who claimed to work for them should contact their office. In a statement posted on Facebook, police said that on Monday a 15-year-old girl from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, was approached by a man on Instagram who asked her to expose herself to him on Skype. Police also said the man asked the girl inappropriate sexual questions. A statement from Base Models warned: "Be aware there are many individuals, fake photographers and scouts using the internet claiming to be affiliated or members of Base Models. "Should you be contacted by anyone claiming to be any of the above, you should first contact our office immediately so we can verify their identity. "Base Models never conducts interviews via Skype, never requests nude or lingerie photos and never requires any money from applicants." Police Scotland said: "If you have been the victim of indecent communication by anyone online please contact us via 101 or attend at your local office to report the matter and seek advice." Dean Southwick, 29, was found injured in Churchill Way on Friday and died later in hospital. An 18-year-old local man, found in a nearby street, was also injured in the attack. Michael David Preston, 19, of Durban Road, Grimsby, was remanded in custody by magistrates and is due to appear at Hull Crown Court on 14 October. In his victory speech he set out his liberal credentials with this rallying cry: "If you think it is wrong to demonise immigrants, the young, the poor, foreigners, Brussels, the English, the Scots - join us." He promised to be an outspoken leader, and today he attacked the government for scaremongering over the migrant situation in Calais. Last month, Mr Farron visited the camp in the French port for himself. He told me: "What David Cameron was reacting to was not the reality. "We were not talking about thousands of people swarming through the tunnel every night - we were talking about a few dozen, maybe one hundred or so maximum - the same people every night trying to get across. "And one of the reasons is because the UK government had turned its back on its EU colleagues and wasn't providing a common solution." He said he met desperate people, including a 14-year-old orphaned boy from Syria who ended up with two broken legs after attempting to cross to the UK. Mr Farron has called on the government to do more to help refugees fleeing war-torn countries. "What I desperately want our government to understand is we are talking about desperate people and we have a track record over the centuries of being a country which is open to those refugees - not just because we're decent - though it is because we're decent - but also because it's in our interests," he said. "Just look at the impact in our country and our economy for instance for our open door to the Ugandan Asians who fled the terrible dictator Idi Amin in the 1970s - so I want us to act decently but also in our own self interest." The government has already pledged to allow 20,000 refugees to come to the UK over the next four and a half year but Mr Farron says it should be three times that number. 20,000 more refugees will be resettled in the UK by 2020 4,980 Syrian asylum seekers have been allowed to stay since 2011 25,771 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to end June 2015 2,204 were from Syria 87% of Syrian requests for asylum were granted 145 Syrian asylum seekers have been removed from the UK since 2011 But of course the Liberal Democrats are no longer in government and they were annihilated at the polls in May, with their number of MPs being reduced from 56 to just eight. In the South East, both Lib Dem MPs - Stephen Lloyd in Eastbourne and former Home Office minister Norman Baker in Lewes - paid the price of being in coalition and lost their seats. So away from the crisis in Calais, Mr Farron has a tough job at home - trying to rebuild his party from the grassroots up. The Liberal Democrats' party conference is being held in Bournemouth between 19 and 23 September. Daniela Vargas was detained in Jackson, Mississippi, and could be deported without a hearing, her lawyer said. She is among 750,000 people - known as "Dreamers" - allowed temporary work permits under an Obama programme, but her status lapsed in November. President Donald Trump has given mixed signals on the future of the programme. Ms Vargas's father and brother were detained on 15 February in Jackson. She hid in a cupboard for hours, but was eventually found by armed immigration officers before being questioned and released. Is arrest of a dreamer a sign of things to come? US universities try to resist Trump deportation push Trump administration widens net for immigration deportation Then on Wednesday, she appeared at a press conference in Jackson City Hall, speaking of her deportation fears and aspirations to become a maths teacher, and calling for a "path to citizenship" for undocumented migrants. After she left the event, immigration officials pulled her over in a friend's car and took her into custody. Ms Vargas's lawyer, Abigail Peterson, said her status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) programme had expired in November 2016, and she had applied to renew it in mid-February, after saving for the $495 (£403) application fee. Daca provides a two-year reprieve from deportation and permission to apply for a work permit. Ms Vargas had been granted the protection in both December 2012 and November 2014, Ms Peterson said. She said that Ms Vargas would be treated as a "visa waiver overstay" and as such could be flown to Argentina without an immigration hearing, the New York Times reported on Thursday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Thomas Byrd said on Wednesday that Ms Vargas was taken into custody in a "targeted immigration enforcement action'' after the agency verified that her Daca status had lapsed. He said a federal immigration judge would "decide whether or not she is eligible for immigration relief". Ms Peterson said detaining someone with a pending Daca application was "very unusual" and "mind boggling". A small number of "Dreamers" have been detained since Mr Trump came into office, and their cases are being closely watched. Mr Trump's presidential campaign website said he planned to "immediately terminate" the Daca programme for those whose parents brought them to the US illegally. But since coming into office he has said he finds the subject "very, very tough" and intends to show "great heart" in dealing with what he described as, in many cases, "incredible kids". Last week, the Department for Homeland Security announced tougher enforcement of existing immigration rules, issuing memos expanding the list of undocumented immigrants prioritised for "expedited removal". It said the new guidance does not affect Daca recipients, but gave no detail on the programme's future. It offers the kind of remote control that naturally draws comparison with the "tractor beams" of science fiction. So far the team has tested the design on small pea-sized objects, which they can manipulate from 30-40cm away. Writing in Nature Communications, they suggest the work could help develop remote surgical instruments. In essence, an object sitting in a "quiet" region of space can be held there if it is surrounded by very high-intensity sound waves. As the pattern of that boundary shifts, the object can be moved around. The researchers programmed a grid of small speakers to emit ultrasound in intricate, shifting patterns, crafting shapes from the interacting waves that resembled tweezers, bottles, and tiny tornado-like twisters. These "holograms" were able to control small beads up to 5mm across. Crucially, the design works from just one side - including above or below the beads - instead of requiring the object to be surrounded by loudspeakers. Prof Bruce Drinkwater from the University of Bristol, one of the study's authors, said the holy grail in this field is to use this sort of manipulation in, for example, targeted drug delivery. "Our method, we hope, will now be applied, both at a smaller scale - maybe for medical purposes - and at a larger scale, potentially for handling dangerous materials in some sort of non-contact production line." Prof Drinkwater developed the system with collaborators at Bristol company Ultrahaptics, as well as the University of Sussex. He said the effort was first inspired by similar research from the University of Dundee, published last year, which demonstrated that sound waves could tug an object towards a sound source. "That was the starting point for us thinking, actually, this could be possible," he told the BBC. "They showed that the force existed and they measured it experimentally - but they didn't hold anything stably. "Our mission, as it were, was to try and take that and make it into a stable, working tractor beam, that could actually hold objects and move and manipulate them." One of the authors of the 2014 Dundee study, Dr Mike MacDonald, said the work from Bristol was "a very nice demonstration" of the power of this technology. The main difference between their work, he explained, was that the Bristol team had built their own speaker system from scratch - which made it very adaptable. "We used a clinically approved device, which was designed for doing focused ultrasound surgery. We programmed that to create the same sort of beams that they did. "[But] because they had their own system, it was more programmable. That allowed them to change the beams that they were creating in real time. "It is quite different from what we did, in that it's moving individual particles around and it's reconfigurable. But in other ways, the beams it's producing are not millions of miles away from what's been done already by others - including us." The invisible manipulation of objects certainly sets imaginations racing. When looking for ways to demonstrate what their contraption could do, Prof Drinkwater and his colleagues understandably settled on a sci-fi analogy. "We wanted to demonstrate that we could do it upside down. We had a discussion and we thought that everyone thinks of a tractor beam as people being sucked up into space. "So we mounted the array upside-down in a cardboard UFO, and the particle gets sucked up into it." The Dundee researchers, before developing their own tractor beam in 2014, trod a similar line when they described their ultrasound device for pushing and turning as a "sonic screwdriver". Nobody is more aware than engineers, it seems, that their research is increasingly blurring our experience of science fiction and fact. Follow Jonathan on Twitter The second leg of the final round tie finished 3-2 to visiting Zimbabwe after Zambia had twice came from behind. It means Zimbabwe's women have two major tournaments this year after they qualified for the Olympics in Rio. The Nations Cup will be played in Cameroon in November this year. Kudakwashe Basopo, who scored the only goal of the first leg in Harare, gave Zimbabwe the perfect start with an away goal after just six minutes. Zambia drew level midway through the first half through Noria Sosala but Samkelisiwe Zulu restored the lead for Zimbabwe 10 minutes before the break. Misozi Zulu matched her namesake when she scored from the penalty sport for Zambia to make it 2-2 but Zimbabwe's Emmaculate Msipa scored a winner with just a minute left to play. It is the fourth time Zimbabwe have qualified for the continental finals for women, their best showing was fourth place in 2000. There are six more places available in the finals alongside Zimbabwe and Cameroon over the next three days. On Monday Ivory Coast, who played at the Women's World Cup last year, must come back from 1-0 loss in the first leg as they host Egypt. The final four second leg games are on Tuesday. Two of those ties a finely balanced after draw in the first legs Kenya host Algeria with the score at 2-2 and reigning champions Nigeria host Senegal after a 1-1 stalemate. While Ghana and South Africa both return home with away wins already secured 2-1 over Tunisia and 2-0 against Botswana respectively. Police were called to Harrow Road, Sudbury Town in Brent, to reports of a shooting outside of The Swan at about 00:10 BST. They found a man in his early 20s with serious injuries. He was declared dead at the scene. No arrests have yet been made and a post-mortem examination will be scheduled in due course, the Met Police said. Also put forward is a recreation of a sculpture destroyed by so-called Islamic State. Maquettes of the proposed works will be on display at the National Gallery until 26 March. The two winners will then be chosen. The two chosen works will be unveiled on the plinth in 2018 and 2020. The Fourth Plinth Programme invites world-class artists to make new works for the capital. A maquette is a small preliminary sketch, or wax or clay model, from which a work of art is elaborated. The new proposals are: The current artwork, David Shrigley's Really Good, will be on the plinth until March 2018. The 7m-high (23ft) sculpture of a hand giving a thumbs up sign was unveiled last September. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "I'm delighted to see that the shortlisted commissions are not just from the UK but from around the globe, a clear sign that London is open to creativity. "The Fourth Plinth reflects the best of London in so many ways - it is inventive, pioneering, surprising and a source of delight, discussion and debate for millions of Londoners and visitors from across the world." Mark Wallinger's figure Ecce Homo was the first piece to stand on the empty plinth - in the north-west corner of the square - in 1999. Other works have included Alison Lapper Pregnant by Marc Quinn (2005), Nelson's Ship in a Bottle by Yinka Shonibare (2010) and Elmgreen and Dragset's Powerless Structures, Fig 101 - a sculpture of a boy astride his rocking horse. The victim was attacked at Kileen Woods on Wednesday 30 September and died in hospital on Friday 2 October. Irish broadcaster RT?? has named him as 24-year-old Dmitry Hrynkevich who was Russian but who grew up in Killarney. It reported that he was found by police in the front garden of a house at Killeen Wood after the assault. A police spokesman said the post mortem examination was carried out on Saturday at Kerry General Hospital, but the results "are not been disclosed for operational reasons". Two men in the 20s and 30s were arrested in connection with the investigation but were later released without charge. Files are being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Barney Fuller, 58, pleaded guilty to capital murder for killing his neighbours during a shooting rampage. Fuller avoided eye contact in the death chamber with witnesses, including two children of the slain couple. He blurted out a comment to officials administering the lethal injection and took longer than expected to die. In a hearing earlier this year, he said he had no challenges to his death sentence and was "ready to move on". Asked on Wednesday evening if he had any final statement, Fuller responded: "I don't have anything to say. You can proceed on, Warden Jones." Is the death penalty dying out in the US? Fuller took a deep breath as officials injected a lethal dose of pentobarbital into each arm. "Hey, you fixin' to put me to sleep," he said. After a couple of breaths, Fuller began snoring and all movement stopped within 30 seconds. He was pronounced dead 38 minutes later, at 19:01 local time, taking longer than expected to die. Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark explained the extended time by saying: "Each person is unique in how his body shuts down." Fuller's lethal injection was Texas' seventh execution this year. The Lone Star state carries out the most executions in the US. His death marks the longest gap between executions in Texas since 2008, when the US Supreme Court considered whether lethal injection was unconstitutional. He was arrested and charged 13 years ago for the murder of Nathan Copeland, 43, and his wife, Annette, 39, at their home in Lovelady, about 100 miles north of Houston. He fired 60 shots into their home before breaking in and opening fire on the couple and their children, injuring their 14-year-old son. The couple's 10-year-old daughter was able to escape when Fuller could not turn on the light in her bedroom. Fuller and the Copelands had a longstanding dispute that culminated when Fuller was summoned to court in 2003 on a charge that he threatened the family. Two days later, he killed the couple. Last year, Fuller wrote to his attorney saying that he wanted proceed with the execution. Does a death sentence always mean death? "But I also really do not care and do not want to go on living in this hellhole," he wrote. "Do not do anything for me which will prolong my appeals and time here on Texas death row." At hearing in the spring, a federal judge ruled Fuller competent to waive his right to appeal. "What's the point of sentencing someone to death, you know, if you're not going to carry on through with what you ordered," he said at the hearing. Fuller's execution is the 16th this year in the US. But the charity, the Consumer Credit Counselling Service, says they aren't the main reason. It helped almost 370,000 people with money worries last year, and according to the charity 25% of them said their problems were caused by unemployment or redundancy. Only 10% of the charity's clients say they are in debt because they've not managed their finances properly. So we asked one of their counsellors, Jonathan Chesterman, to give some free advice to people at a shopping centre in Reading. Alex Taylor left university last year with a law degree, but he still can't find a job, and now he's feeling the pinch. He says: "On top of the 18 grand's worth of student debt, I've also accumulated quite a lot of overdraft debt. My bank is pushing me to pay it back, despite the fact that I'm on Jobseeker's Allowance. "And the Jobseeker's I'm on at the moment is not enough to pay back an overdraft. So I'm just wondering what I can do. Anything I can do to alleviate the problem would be great." Mr Chesterman's first tip is to move bank account, so any income isn't paid into the same account as his overdraft. He adds: "Then I'd keep your current bank informed of your situation, and offer them a small token payment, maybe £1 or £2 a month. You can show you're serious about paying your debt back, but you can't actually pay it back at the moment." Tom Hill, 20, is doing the job he loves. Or more accurately, he's doing four or five jobs he loves. He's a football coach, but can't find one full-time role that pays enough. He is scraping by financially, but knows he could do better. He admits: "When I go out in town, I spend too much on drinks and things like that. I spend on games and the like, and then look at my bank balance and it's all bad. So too many luxuries, that's probably it." He says sometimes he will look at his bank balance and realise he's overspent, and so can't do anything sociable until he gets more cash coming in. Mr Chesterman says the best bet for anyone who finds their money running away with them is to keep a spending diary. "The first thing to do is get all his expenditure down, what he spends every month, every week - making sure it's all listed - and then review it to see if there are things that can be cut back, any savings that can be made. "When it comes to luxuries, you will then know how much you've got, and you don't risk spending more than you need to. At least you then know actually that if you want to go out, you've got the money to do it." We meet Mohsin Aslam, 25, on his way back from a job interview. He's looking smart, and hopes this could be the end to his money worries. He's been out of work for a year now, and has built up £26,000 worth of debt. It's mostly student loans, but he's had trouble with his overdraft too. He says it really gets to him: "It doesn't feel great. I've got a degree and I'm unable to find work. So obviously I have no means of paying my loan back. It's frustrating really." Mr Chesterman says the key step for Mr Aslam, or anyone else having difficulties like this, is to keep creditors informed. 370,000 people contacted the charity last year - these were the reasons: Source: CCCS "Then they will know what the situation is, the fact that you are trying to find work," he explains. "So any pressure you're under, they know and understand what's going on." But Mr Aslam says he's tried that, and it didn't work. "When I told my bank about my overdraft, the bank didn't leave me alone," he says. "They continued sending me letters saying that they needed the money now, and then sent me debt collector letters saying I had to pay this by a certain date." In that case, Mr Chesterman tells him to get some free debt advice. There are several charities, including the CCCS, that will help out anyone with money worries. He says that way "you fully understand what your creditors can and can't do, and then you're in a better position to negotiate with them". Theresa Curtin, 26, is out for the day with her baby Jessica. Her money worries are really getting her down though. She's on medication for depression, and is trying to get a decent home to bring her daughter up in. She isn't in a huge amount of debt, but it's having a big impact. She owes about £1,500 on store cards and to a doorstep lender. "It's scary," says Ms Curtin. "You have debt collectors knocking on your door, not having the money to pay them. With a baby it's hard thinking, 'Who's going to be knocking on the door next?'" Mr Chesterman says she is in a tough situation, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. "You can go to a free debt charity and they'll be able to help you apply for a debt relief order. You owe less than £15,000, and so it's a way of getting all your debts written off." Shea Stedford, 27, has a busy time of it right now. He hasn't managed to find full-time work, so he's set up his own business. It's going well enough so that he's on track paying back about £10,000 worth of debt. But his partner is pregnant, and Mr Stedford is determined that he doesn't want to accept any benefits. He says "It's just that I don't want to rely on someone else when I can be doing my own work really. I want to make sure that what I'm putting in is what I'm getting out, not sitting around in some council office waiting for handouts. I don't really believe in that." Mr Chesterman says he admires Mr Stedford's attitude, but it's not all that realistic in the short-term. "It's best to apply for benefits, especially with a baby on the way. Get the tax credits and all the help you're entitled to while you build you business up. Once your business is up you won't need handouts." Mr Stedford says he'll give it a go, as long as he's "doing it the right way". Judith Cox, 49, is smiling when we meet her, but she's had a turbulent time recently. She's just got divorced, and says it was an expensive process. Now she's got to pay a big mortgage alone, and to add to her worries, she built up about £15,000 worth of debt when she was unemployed. But her biggest problem is that she's not facing up to reality. "I'm just living day by day, I'm not really budgeting. I'm putting my head in the sand really, but now I've got to stop." Mr Chesterman says this is very common, but it's "the wrong thing to do". "You need to be aware of where your debts are, because they're not going to go away. And by knowing where you are, you can pick the right solution for you. "The top tip is don't ignore the debt problem. Draw up a budget, and if you need it, you can always get free debt advice." None of 2,500 species described is known from more than five locations, and for a few of them the total global supply could fit in a thimble. The researchers say it is important to hunt down these oddities because they contain fundamental information about the construction of our planet. Some will also undoubtedly have properties that are useful in technological applications. The list appears in a paper about to be published in the journal American Mineralogist. It is authored by Dr Robert Hazen, from the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC, and Prof Jesse Ausubel of The Rockefeller University, in New York. "Scientists have so far tracked down 5,000 mineral species and it turns out that fewer than a 100 constitute almost all of Earth's crust. The rest of them are rare, but the rarest of the rare - that's about 2,500 minerals - are only found at five places on Earth or fewer," Dr Hazen told BBC News. "And you ask: why study them; they seem so insignificant? But they are the key to the diversity of the Earth's near-surface environments. "It's the rare minerals that tell us so much about how Earth differs from the Moon, from Mars, from Mercury, where the same common minerals exist, but it's the rare minerals that make Earth special." Minerals are combinations of chemical elements arranged into crystalline structures. Earth's rocks are built from different aggregations. Think of feldspar, quartz and mica - these are the ubiquitous species that everyone knows. But cobaltominite, abelsonite, fingerite, edoylerite - these are examples that will not form unless the "cooking conditions" are absolutely perfect. The atomic ingredients must sum exactly, the temperature must be precise to the degree, and the pressure will have to be defined in the narrowest of margins. And then, some will immediately fall apart when they get wet or the sun shines on them. Edoylerite, metasideronatrite, and sideronatrite are examples of vampire-like minerals that decompose on exposure to light. Hazen and Ausubel have put their list of 2,500 species into four broad categories of rarity that speak to the conditions under which they form, how rare their ingredients are, how ephemeral they are, and the limitations on their sampling. "Fingerite is like a 'perfect storm of rarity'," said Dr Hazen. "It occurs only on the flanks of the Izalco Volcano in El Salvador - an incredibly dangerous place with super-hot fumeroles. "It's made of rare elements - vanadium and copper have to exist together, and it forms under an extremely narrow range of conditions. If you just change the ratio of copper to vanadium slightly, you get a different mineral. And every time it rains, fingerite washes away." The new catalogue allows scientists to begin to gauge just how large the reserves of a particular mineral ought to be, and where those reserves might be. And for the technologically useful ones, this will have enormous value (although it is often possible to synthesise these minerals industrially). But the exercise also provides important insights on Earth itself. Many of these minerals would be absent altogether if not for the presence of biology, which moderates the chemical environment in which minerals forms. In that context, the paper contributes to the Deep Carbon Observatory project, an international venture that seeks to understand carbon's role in the Earth system. It is thought there are just over 100 carbon-bearing minerals out there waiting to be found. Dr Hazen actually has an entry named after him in the catalogue. Hazenite is only known from Mono Lake, California. It forms when the phosphorus levels in the lake get too high, and the microbes in the water, in order to survive, have to start excreting it from their cells. The resulting tiny, colourless crystals are essentially microbial "poop". "Yes, it's true - hazenite happens," said Dr Hazen. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Borough of Poole council agreed on Tuesday to back a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £1.8m to conserve Poole's Upton Country Park and Grade II* listed house. Other proposals include the development of a wetland centre and work to revamp the grounds. The application for the funding bid is expected to be submitted in August. The council, which owns the park, also agreed to allocate £170,000 of match funding for the project. The total cost of the work is expected to be about £10m. The council said the HLF had recommended a phased approach for funding - the first phase being the development of a "welcome centre". Six hectares (15 acres) of additional parkland was officially opened to the public at the park earlier, along the shoreline of Holes Bay. In 1901 the house was occupied by William Llewellin and his family. His daughter, Margaret Mary, became Poole's first female mayor. He gifted the house and part of the estate to the council in 1957 and it was opened to the public in 1975. Falling commodity costs, including sugar, also helped the company to a third quarter profits of $533m (£350m). However, that was down from last year's profit of $2.01bn, after the firm took a $1.4bn charge related to its Venezuelan operations. PepsiCo also raised its earnings growth target for 2015 to 9% from 8%. In a statement, PepsiCo chief executive Indra Nooyi said she was "pleased" with the company's performance. The company's snack and drinks offerings have helped increase revenue by 2% and 5% respectively. This year, PepsiCo has increased the amount of snacks being sold by 0.5% every quarter. An additional strategy has been to vary portion sizes of its Frito-Lay crisps, for example, to cater for smaller US households. The move also means that retailers benefit from improved margins. Another aspect of PepsiCo's performance has been its drinks unit, in North America, which includes Gatorade and Aquafina. Its 5% increase in revenue has been down to both higher pricing and a 3% increase in volume of the non-carbonated drinks. Its drinks unit in North America showed a significant rise in the volume of non-carbonated drinks, which have risen by nearly 10%, in contrast to fizzy drinks which saw a 1.9% decline. The beverages industry is focusing more on non-carbonated drinks - a trend from which PepsiCo says the company stands to benefit. Ms Nooyi added that "despite ongoing volatility in many of our key international markets", PepsiCo had delivered "strong organic revenue growth". PepsiCo said that, beginning with its fourth quarter results for 2015, it would no longer include the results of its local Venezuelan subsidiaries and joint venture in its financial statements. Many companies' operations in Venezuela have been struggling, with the economy plagued by hyperinflation. PepsiCo's rival Coca-Cola will announce its results on October 21. Read more: Indonesia 'needs time' to tackle haze - Joko Widodo An outsider in Indonesian politics, there were high expectations that he would change the culture of cronyism that has held Indonesia back for so long. But what a difference a year makes. Mr Widodo has spent the better part of the last 12 months putting out political fires - at times within his own party - and that's meant he's struggled to push through some of his key economic reform plans. Critics say he has had to kowtow to the grand dame that is the head of his party and is her puppet. At times, he has seemed unable to control his cabinet - which has often contradicted his policies on foreign investment, and on the ease of doing business in Indonesia. It's also been hard to reconcile his previously loud protestations of being an advocate of democracy with some of the more draconian measures his government has taken, like the executions of foreign drug convicts - that for now appear to have been suspended for this year because of economic priorities - or the detention of foreign journalists on immigration issues. Although during the interview he appeared to put on a show of confidence about his handling of the economy - currently his administration's biggest headache - he was short on specifics and dismissed concerns that he has disappointed his supporters by saying that Indonesia is a big country and it takes time to fix the many problems it has. That may be true but overwhelmingly the mood amongst investors and businesses I met in Jakarta was one of exasperation. When will the president stop talking and start acting, many asked me. When I put that to the man himself - he assured me in his calm Javanese manner that his plans to boost infrastructure spending were already under way and showing results. He expects that by the end of his term Indonesia would be a vastly more improved economy than it is today. There's a lot at stake - both for Mr Widodo and for the Indonesian economy. It is the giant in the neighbourhood but consistently punches below its weight. Growth is slowing down after a decade long commodities boom, and without more of an investment in infrastructure and human capital it could slow further. Mr Widodo will not be unaware that mismanagement of the economy has often been the downfall of presidents who have come before him. It was after all the 1997/1998 Asian Financial Crisis that saw the Indonesian rupiah tumble and prices soar that - amongst other factors - forced the former dictator and president Suharto to step down. The Indonesian people are infamously patient and forgiving - but Mr Widodo will need to act quickly and decisively to ensure he doesn't lose their support.

"A sumptuous Swansea performance. Bradford City blown away. A win for Wales and a win for the Premier League over the League Two club." But Swansea proved a step too far and there was to be no storybook ending to this remarkable campaign as Bradford were taken apart by Michael Laudrup's side en route to the biggest win in the final of this competition. The Bantams were swiftly out of their depth and goals from Nathan Dyer and Michu gave Swansea a comfortable half-time lead that was no more than their ordered passing game merited. Dyer's second goal just after half-time removed any remaining doubt about the destination of the trophy and a thoroughly chastening experience for Bradford was encapsulated by Swansea's fourth on the hour. Goalkeeper Matt Duke, a hero of the run to Wembley, was sent off for bringing down Jonathan de Guzman, who scored from the spot. De Guzman added his own second in stoppage time - not that this stopped Bradford's supporters rising to acclaim the team that has given them and their city so much to be proud of as they went up to collect their runners-up medals. Media playback is not supported on this device The victory capped a fine first season in south Wales for Laudrup after he succeeded Brendan Rodgers in the summer. The Dane, along with chairman Huw Jenkins, can now plan for a campaign in next season's Europa League. It is back to the business of reaching the League Two play-offs for Parkinson and Bradford - but they can still reflect on this achievement with great satisfaction after illuminating the season with one its most heart-warming stories. Wembley was awash with colour before kick-off, especially the claret and amber of the West Yorkshire contingent as they savoured the sort of occasion that was surely beyond their wildest dreams at the start of the season. It soon became clear, however, that Swansea were in no mood to suffer a similar fate to Bradford's previous Premier League victims as they passed through and picked off opponents swiftly condemned to 90 minutes of desperate ball-chasing. Thirteen years ago - almost to the day - Swansea were beating Chester City 2-1 in Division Three while Bradford were in the Premier League. The Swans dominated possession and were ahead after just over quarter of an hour. Duke could only push out Michu's shot and Dyer reacted first to score from an acute angle. Bradford offered nothing as an attacking force, taking until three minutes from time for Gary Jones to bring a save from Gerhard Tremmel, and were never in a position to utilise the expertise at set-pieces that so unsettled Villa over two legs in the semi-final. Manager Parkinson would have been delighted and relieved to reach the interval only one behind but it was not to be as Swansea went further ahead with a goal superbly created and finished. The outstanding Pablo Hernandez played in Michu, who used Carl McHugh as a shield before passing the ball through the defender's legs and beyond Duke with wonderful precision. And the contest was finished off two minutes after the restart when Dyer played the ball into Wayne Routledge before taking the return and finishing powerfully past Duke. Even the normally ice-cool Laudrup recognised the significance of the moment with a dance of air-punching delight in his technical area. Swansea's fourth actually brought the only moment of dissent in what was an otherwise smooth and uninterrupted path to glory. Media playback is not supported on this device Referee Kevin Friend had no alternative but to send Duke off for tripping De Guzman as the Dutchman went round the grounded keeper. In the background Dyer, who wanted to take the penalty for his hat-trick, was involved in a furious exchange with designated penalty taker De Guzman, an argument only settled when Michu returned from the technical area with instructions from Laudrup. De Guzman stayed calm to beat substitute keeper Jon McLaughlin - and he rounded off the perfect afternoon for Swansea with his second and their fifth by bundling in from close range. The celebrations of the Swansea fans had started long before then and they moved into top gear once the final whistle blew on an outstanding, thoroughly professional performance as captain on the day Ashley Williams and club captain Garry Monk lifted the trophy. Entry to the weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday was $10 (£6.60), although tickets were changing hands on the resale market for $800 (£530). The fight is set to generate an estimated $400m (£265m). American Mayweather scaled 146lb - one pound under the welterweight limit - and Pacquiao of the Philippines 145lb. The pair will fight for the WBC, WBA and WBO welterweight titles. "I believe that with my skills, I'm going to be victorious," said the 38-year-old Mayweather, who is unbeaten in 47 professional fights. "I don't take anything away from Manny Pacquiao, he's a solid fighter and it will be an intriguing match-up. "But after Saturday, I'll still be 'TBE' [The Best Ever]." Pacquiao, who has 57 wins and five defeats from 64 pro fights, said: "It's a great responsibility for me to give enjoyment to the fans. The fans deserve to have a good fight, whether they are a fan of Mayweather or Pacquiao. "The Lord will always be with me and strengthen me and deliver him into my hands." Asked about the difference in size - Mayweather is 5ft 8ins and Pacquiao 5ft 6½ins with a reach difference of five inches in favour of the American - the Filipino southpaw added: "I've been fighting bigger guys - Oscar De La Hoya, Antonio Margarito... it doesn't matter to me." The MGM Grand was abuzz the day before the fight, with people queuing to get into the Garden Arena hours before Mayweather and Pacquiao, 36, stepped on the scales. It was the first time tickets had been sold for a weigh-in, with proceeds going to charity, and those that bought them were given a two-hour show. Pacquiao was introduced to the stage first and looked relaxed, taking pictures of himself and waving to the large Philippine contingent. Mayweather, on the other hand, was booed to the stage and looked tense, as he has done all week. Pacquiao mouthed "thank you" to his rival as they engaged in the traditional stare-down, as a good-natured build-up continued. "I don't know what he exactly said. No, I didn't respond," said Mayweather, The MGM Grand Garden Arena holds 16,000 but as few as 500 tickets for the fight went on sale to the general public. Tickets are changing hands on the resale market for as much as $350,000, while some have been prepared to pay $3,500 to watch the fight in one of 10 closed-circuit venues along the Las Vegas Strip. Given the astronomical numbers involved, the fact this is a match-up between two of the greatest boxers ever has been forgotten by some. Mayweather and Pacquiao have won world titles in five and six different weight divisions respectively. Whoever wins this weekend will be able to claim they are the best fighter of their era. Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, admitted the remorseless hype had been hard to cope with. "I've always liked big fights because I like big challenges," said Roach, who was in Oscar De la Hoya's corner when Mayweather beat him in 2007. "But, with this one, I might have bitten off more than I can chew. "We're fighting a very good defensive fighter, but I'm one of those guys that believes offence wins fights. I think we'll overwhelm him with speed." Roach felt both fighters had "declined a little bit", adding: "I've been watching Floyd's legs and they're not as good as they used to be. He doesn't move as fluently as he used to. "We can knock him out late, but I really want to beat him on points. Either way, no problem." Roach said Mayweather's relatively subdued mood in the build-up to the fight could be a sign that he is apprehensive about facing Pacquiao. "At the first press conference, I told him we were going to kick his ass," said the 55-year-old American. "I thought I was going to get something back, but we got nothing. He's been so nice, I really don't think he wants to be here." Mayweather responded: "The camp went extremely smooth. I don't need to trash Manny Pacquiao, I know what I can do." Mr Duncan Selbie has been asked to appear in front of the Commons Health Select Committee on Monday. MPs say they need to see the report on sugar reduction to make recommendations ahead of the government's new child obesity strategy. The strategy itself has been delayed. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said it will now be published later this year, along with PHE's report looking at how to curb the nation's sweet tooth, which includes evidence on fiscal measures relating to sugar-sweetened drinks as well as advertising of foods to children. The head of the Commons Health Select committee, Dr Sarah Wollaston, has accused Public Health England of obstructing its inquiry into child obesity by refusing to publish the report. In a strongly worded letter to Mr Duncan Selbie, chief of PHE, last week, she said: "The evidence you have assembled is crucial to the committee's ability to consider what the policy priorities should be for addressing childhood obesity. "Delayed publication is as harmful as non-publication if this means that the public and health professionals wishing to influence the content of the obesity strategy do not have access to the data before the ink is dry on the obesity strategy." The obesity strategy will consider a number of measures to help prevent children becoming too fat. One of the most controversial is a mandatory tax on sugary fizzy drinks. Currently, the government encourages drinks manufacturers to sign up to a voluntary responsibility deal to make beverages more healthy. Advisers told the Commons Health Select Committee that studies suggested a tax of 20p per litre on sugar-sweetened beverages would prevent 180,000 cases of obesity in the UK and raise between £300m and £1bn of revenue. Nikola Zhulev, 31, was convicted by a jury at the High Court in Livingston. The jury heard during the trial that Mr Gardner, who Zhulev described as "like a father" to him, was found dead at his Balbeggie home on 24 April last year. The 49-year-old freelance jeweller had a head wound imprinted with the pattern from the base of a heavy pan found in the kitchen. Zhulev's DNA was found on the pan and his victim's body was discovered in his home, stripped to the waist and wrapped "like a cocoon" with his ankles bound. The trial heard that Bulgarian national Zhulev was living in Perth and working as a kitchen porter and got to know Mr Gardner, who ran a jewellery business from his home. According to a friend of the killer, Zhulev was spending at least £100 a day on heroin. Zhulev was short of money for his rent in April last year and promised his new landlord that he would pay him in a few days time. Zhulev then carried out a series of internet searches on his phone, including 'how dangerous is a hit to the head?'. After Mr Gardner's death, Zhulev was seen in the Money Shop in Perth trying to pawn jewellery. The trial heard from Zhulev's friend who said Zhulev confessed that he had hit Mr Gardner over the head with a pan and killed him. Zhulev had planned on disposing of Mr Gardner's body but ran out of time as police closed in. The jury took 90 minutes to return a unanimous guilty verdict following the 17-day trial at the High Court in Livingston. Zhulev was also found guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice. Judge Lady Rae called for background reports and deferred sentence until 5 May. She said: "This was on any view a cold, calculated killing of a vulnerable man, a man who gave you accommodation because you had nowhere to go. "All you did was take advantage of him and then, when he was going to go to the police, you killed him. "There can only be one sentence and that will be life when I deal with you." Following the verdict, Det Insp Brian Geddes of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team said the case had been a "challenging and complex investigation". He said: "The information and assistance provided by witnesses who came forward, particularly those from the local community, proved vital in building a compelling case against Zhulev. "My thoughts are with the family of Alan Gardner, and those who were closest to him, and I hope they can now begin to put their ordeal behind them." Samantha Baldwin, 42, from Newark, was last seen in Nottingham city centre on Monday and is believed to be with Louis Madge, 9, and Dylan Madge, 6. Nottinghamshire Police said they were treating the case as abduction and confirmed Ms Baldwin did not have legal custody of the boys. Officers urged her to get in touch to confirm she and the boys are safe. The force said a 62-year-old woman and a 36-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and remain in police custody. Supt Rich Fretwell said detectives had carried out searches of properties, studied CCTV footage and used number plate recognition technology. He appealed directly to Ms Baldwin: "Samantha, all we ask is that you please pick up the phone and let us know you and the children are ok and that you are safe. "Your loved ones are desperately worried and want to hear from you." He added "thousands of messages" had been received by the force from members of the public over concerns for the family. Ms Baldwin is described as being 5ft 7ins (1.7m) tall of a slim build with shoulder length, highlighted blonde hair and green/blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a red knee-length coat, but may have changed her clothing since. She also has family connections to Lincolnshire and Manchester. Louis is described as having fair hair, a fair complexion and blue eyes and Dylan has straight dark brown hair, a tanned complexion and brown eyes. The two boys also use the surname of Taylor, police said. Melissa Gilbert is hoping to represent Michigan's 8th District as a Democrat in the House of Representatives. "I'm running for Congress to make life a little easier for all the families who feel they have fallen through the cracks in today's economy," she said. The 51-year-old played Laura Ingalls Wilder on the television show, which was popular in the '70s and '80s. Making the announcement with a statement on her 2016 campaign website, she added: "I believe building a new economy is a team effort, and we need to bring fresh voices to the table to get the job done." The programme in which she made her name was based on the children's book series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, a pioneer recounting her settler childhood in Wisconsin and Kansas. Her portrayal of the young Laura made Ms Gilbert a child star, with Michael Landon starring as her father Charles. Ms Gilbert has served two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild, a job held by Ronald Reagan before he also chose a political path that eventually took him to the White House. After Little House on the Prairie, which came to an end in 1983, she went on to act in dozens of television series and TV movies. The bikes have similar functionality to helicopters, but overcome some of the older technology's design limitations. The devices can be used in military as well as emergency and aid operations, the developers told the Reuters news agency. Further research and development will take place in Harford County, Maryland. The prototypes are reminiscent of the racers that Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia used to zoom around the forest moon of Endor in the film Return of the Jedi. "The Department of Defense is interested in Hoverbike technology because it can support multiple roles," said Mark Butkiewicz, who works for Survice, the US firm that will be developing the technology. "It can transport troops over difficult terrain and when it's not used in that purpose it can also be used to transport logistics, supplies, and it can operate in both a manned and unmanned asset." Grant Stapleton of the UK firm Malloy Aeronautics explained to Reuters what advantages the bikes have over traditional helicopters: "Primarily there's safety. With adducted rotors you immediately not only protect people and property if you were to bump into them, but if you ever were to bump into somebody or property it's going to bring the aircraft out of the air." Government officials in the state of Maryland are welcoming the development saying that it will provide several high-paying jobs to the state. "I think there can be a lot of applications, and maybe I'll be the fifth or sixth person to ride it. I'm going to wait until a couple of people ride it before me," joked Maryland Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford. The man is in a life-threatening condition after being hit by a Vauxhall car in Winchester Road, shortly after 07:30 GMT. A police car attending subsequently collided with a Fiat. No one was hurt. Winchester Road was closed throughout the morning between Shirley High Street and St James Road. Bus passenger Katie Oakley said: "I heard a loud bang, then a female police officer got out of the car to see if the lady in the other car was OK. "The lady looked quite shaken up so the officer was supporting her and told her to wait in one of the nearby houses. "Then an unmarked police car and a couple of police motorbikes showed up to look at the damage. The road was closed and we were told to leave the bus." A police spokeswoman said: "A car responding to the initial crash was involved in a minor collision - there were no injuries." The 26-year-old scored twice in 17 games for the Cod Army this season before moving to Stevenage on a two-month loan in November. Matt has netted once in a further four appearances for Fleetwood since returning to the club in early January. Plymouth are currently third in League Two and face promotion-chasing rivals Accrington on Saturday. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. He made the remark as he was presenting an award to George Osborne at the Spectator magazine's Parliamentarian of the Year ceremony in London. After loud laughter from the audience, he clarified his comments, saying Brexit would be a "colossal success". The annual ceremony from the magazine awarded Mr Johnson the political comeback of the year prize. Accepting it, he said: "In the words of our great prime minister... I understood that Brexit means Brexit and we are going to make a Titanic success of it." Landale: Can PM stop mocking Boris? But it was not just Mr Johnson getting the laughs. Prime Minister Theresa May paid sartorial tribute to former chancellor George Osborne, appearing alongside him wearing a hard hat and high-visibility jacket as she accepted her politician of the year prize. The apparel was much favoured by Mr Osborne during his cabinet days for official visits to factories and large-scale infrastructure projects. As she accepted her award, the prime minister told the audience: "Oh, come on. We're all builders now." Mr Osborne was the guest of honour, using his speech to mock himself and his party colleagues as he handed out his own "real parliamentary awards". His self-styled "Sam Allardyce campaign manager of the year award" went to Michael Gove - who Mr Osborne said "made up with the quantity of his leadership campaigns what they lacked in quality". He gave his "President Erdogan prize for the attempted coup that makes the leader stronger" to the entire parliamentary Labour Party, referring to the re-election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader in September. Mr Osborne later presented Mrs May with her politician of the year award. Accepting it, Mrs May added a dig over Mr Osborne's warnings on behalf of the Remain campaign ahead of the Brexit referendum. She said: "I'm particularly pleased to receive this award from George, because I gather that when it came to the voting it actually got very tight and I owe it to George that he just nudged me over the line - because he told the other members of the jury that if they didn't vote for me, the economy would collapse and World War Three would start." Mrs May also joked about Sir Craig Oliver, former director of communications for her predecessor, David Cameron. She said: "I understand that in his book about the referendum campaign, Craig says that, when he heard the result of the referendum, he walked out of the office, he walked out into Whitehall and he started retching violently. "I have to say, I think we all know that feeling. Most of us experienced it too - when we saw his name on the resignation honours list." But she changed the tone by raising a toast to Mr Cameron, who recently stood down as an MP.

Exports declined 2.1% from a year ago on weak demand from China, marking the first drop since August 2014. Imports plunged by a more-than-expected 13.4%, leading the trade balance to swing to a surplus of 111.5bn yen ($902.5m; £591m). The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was up 1.6% to 19,957.19 points. Investors seemed to ignore forecasts that imports would continue to decline on lower commodity prices and weak domestic demand. They were also looking ahead to the outcome from the end of the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting later in the day. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve was confident enough in the US economy to raise interest rates in December was driving the rally in the rest of Asia. Chinese shares were up with he Shanghai Composite 0.3% ahead at 3,579.91, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was higher by 1.3% to 22,471.18.

Franck Allais placed the red triangle sign - which depicted the silhouette of an orthodox Jewish man - on a lamppost in Stamford Hill, close to a synagogue. The sign provoked complaints from a Jewish community group - who reported it to police - and local MPs. Mr Allais told BBC News he "completely regretted" any offence caused. The artist, who is from Paris, but has lived in east London for 16 years, placed 27 signs around London. They featured silhouetted figures including shoppers and animals. His work provoked outrage when neighbourhood watch group Shomrim NE London spotted one of the signs 200m from a synagogue on Forburg Road on Tuesday evening. It suggested the sign meant "Beware of the Jew" and said it had caused "alarm and distress" among the Jewish community. But Mr Allais said the work was based on photographs he had taken. "I take pictures around me of people crossing the road," he said. Mr Allais said he believed red warning triangles did not have a "bad" meaning, but rather advised motorists to "take care" of the item depicted. Shadow Home Secretary and MP for Hackney North Diane Abbott said it was "disgusting" and "unacceptable", while Labour's MP for Tottenham David Lammy said it amounted to "despicable, nasty behaviour that has absolutely no place in our community".

Police said they were investigating the incident as a "religiously aggravated hate crime, in keeping with the reporting of the incident". No arrests have been made. Digon agos oedd yr ornest rhyngddyn nhw a Maori'r Crysau Duon yn yr hanner cyntaf, wrth i'r ddau dîm dreulio cyfnodau ar y blaen. Ond yn yr ail hanner fe ddangosodd y Llewod eu gallu, gan sgorio dwy gais a sicrhau buddugoliaeth o 32-10. Roedd Leigh Halfpenny yn un o sawl chwaraewr a ddisgleiriodd, a hynny wrth i Warren Gatland ddewis y rhan fwyaf o chwaraewyr cryfaf y garfan ar gyfer yr ornest. Dechreuodd y Llewod ar y droed flaen, gyda dwy gic gosb gan Halfpenny yn rhoi mantais o chwe phwynt iddynt yn Rotorua. Ond ar ôl 12 munud daeth cais gyntaf y gêm i'r Maori, gyda Liam Messam yn manteisio ar y bêl rydd i dirio yn dilyn camgymeriad gan George North, a Damian McKenzie yn trosi. Bu bron i'r Llewod daro nôl yn syth, wrth i Jonathan Davies fylchu ac yna dod o fewn dau fetr i'r llinell gais cyn cael ei daclo. Fe wnaeth Halfpenny a McKenzie gyfnewid ciciau cosb, cyn i'r Cymro ychwanegu tri phwynt arall i sicrhau mai'r Llewod oedd yn mynd i mewn i'r egwyl 12-10 ar y blaen. Dechreuodd yr ail hanner yn yr un modd a'r cyntaf, gydag Halfpenny yn llwyddo gyda'i bumed gic o'r ornest. Yn fuan wedi hynny fe aeth y Maori lawr i 14 dyn wrth i Tawera Kerr-Barlow gael cerdyn melyn am daclo Halfpenny heb ddefnyddio'i freichiau. O'r symudiad a ddilynodd daeth Jamie George o fewn trwch blewyn i groesi am gais i'r Llewod, cyn i'r dyfarnwr teledu benderfynu nad oedd y bêl wedi ei thirio. Ond parhaodd y Llewod i bwyso, a daeth cais gosb wedi 50 munud yn dilyn gwaith da gan y sgrym.

Justice 4 Grenfell said it wanted an examination of local and national social housing policy and whether it "increased risks to residents." About 300 suggestions are expected to have been received by the consultation. Meanwhile, a further three inquests have been opened, bringing the total number of identified victims to 48. Coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox opened, adjourned and suspended inquests into the deaths of Fatima Choukair, 11, Firdaws Hashim, 12, and Hashim Kedir, 44. At least 80 people are believed to have died in the blaze on 14 June. The fire in the 24-storey block started in a Hotpoint fridge freezer and destroyed 151 homes, both in the tower and surrounding areas. Questions were raised in the aftermath of the disaster about the cladding used on Grenfell and other buildings. More than 100 buildings have failed the latest fire safety tests set in the wake of the fire. Retired Court of Appeal judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick, who is leading the inquiry into the blaze, promised to consider a broad range of evidence when he launched the public consultation into the terms of reference - which closed at 17:00 BST - in July. Local community members were initially given a week to give their feedback, but the deadline was extended twice. Sir Martin is due to send his draft terms of reference to Prime Minister Theresa May next week. She will then decide what the scope of the inquiry should be and respond the week after. The inquiry is due to start in September. Sir Martin has previously said an interim report could be produced within a year. He has previously faced calls to resign from residents, while Labour MP David Lammy said he was a "white, upper-middle class man" who had "never" visited a tower block housing estate and should not have been appointed. By Alex Murray, BBC News Having attended several times now, the inquests follow a grimly familiar format. Although brief, each session has been traumatic for those present. No matter how many times we have heard them, the phrases never lose the power of their horrific narrative: "Human remains recovered from...", "identified by DNA" or "dental records"; "Presumed cause of death: One A" "Inhalation of fire fumes", "consistent with the effects of fire". Relatives have struggled with the emotions of this formal and public moment of grief in the silence of the court. Today, three relatives of Hashim Kedir each raised a single clenched hand to their mouth as the presumed cause of death, "consistent with the effects of fire", was read out. The gesture may be small, but the significance is deeply felt. With at least 32 individuals still to be identified and that process "becoming increasingly difficult", there are still many who will have to pass through this horrible moment. Justice 4 Grenfell said it had submitted six suggestions for the terms of reference. It said one of the main purposes of the inquiry should include restoring public confidence in the safety of social housing and the "competence, ability and willingness of public authorities" to regulate it. The group said it wanted the inquiry to investigate Kensington and Chelsea Council and government departments, including the Home Office, the Department for Communities and Local Government and 10 Downing Street. It said: "The inquiry must uncover the correspondence and documents within these departments that go to the heart of the failed housing and social policies that caused or exacerbated the fire, along with the appalling response in the aftermath. "The inquiry should seek and obtain internal communications between government ministers, MPs, councillors and civil servants on matters relating to the Grenfell Tower disaster and the issues related to it. " The group said it wanted a diverse group of people on the panel "to ensure that the experiences of the wide range of people affected by the fire are included at the earliest opportunity". "This is essential to ensure community trust, confidence, and the continued and full participation of survivors and the bereaved families in the inquiry process," it said. Christos Fairbairn, who escaped from the 15th floor and is struggling to sleep, said the inquiry must consider the mental health implications of what happened. "It's difficult to come to terms with the fact that you live in a block, you meet people every day, you say hello to them and these are the same people who died and it's their whole families," he told the BBC. Chairman of the nearby Bramley House residents association, Samia Badani, said: "Having spoken to hundreds of people, they want the inquiry to deal with the relationship between the residents and the local authority and tenant management organisation. "We'd be very disappointed if it was narrowed down on the causes of the fire. "We want real change, and unless they understand that relationship between public bodies and residents is flawed, there is no hope of this changing." Meanwhile, tributes have been paid to Hashim Kedir and his 12-year-old daughter Firdaws, whose inquests were opened and adjourned at Westminster Coroner's Court. A family statement described Mr Kedir as a "soft-hearted and generous brother and uncle" who was "intelligent, smart, hardworking, hilarious, and caring". His daughter was "our intelligent, wise, eloquent and beautiful niece and cousin", her family said. "You were so smart and mature for your age that everybody had a lot to say about the type of future you were going to have; the future that was stolen from you," the statement said. Katie Davis, of Dorset, said she had been turned down despite submitting more than 100 documents, including bank statements, contracts and invoices. She said maintaining her website and social media took hours, but she worked around looking after her baby daughter. Working regular hours is essential for claiming the benefit, HMRC states. The government department has been contacted for comment. As a single parent, Ms Davis has to work for at least 16 hours per week to be eligible for working tax credits, which are worth up to £2,010 per year, according to its website. Self-employed people who do not work regularly are not able to apply, the site adds. "I am working far more than that, but it's not permanently paid work - it's maintaining my own site," she told the BBC. "Sourcing photos, editing, scheduling - often writing the piece is the shortest amount of work." In a blog post, she wrote she often started work at 06:00 and worked until 01:00, both with her daughter and when the child was asleep. Daily work involved promotions, photography, social media management, running competitions and writing product reviews for clients, Ms Davis said. She also spent time reading and commenting on other blog posts across social media in order to drive traffic to her own. Since launching her blog, Mummy In A Tutu, 10 months ago, Ms Davis has worked with brands including Disney Interactive and Warner Brothers but remains self-employed. "I'm just getting to point where people want to work with me, I'm not pounding the pavement to find them," she said. "If I've had a good week, I can switch the computer off at 23:00 instead of 01:00. "Most bloggers don't earn in their first year." The issue was not limited to the technology sector, Will Hadwen, benefits adviser at the charity Working Families, told the BBC. "It's not really about the hours themselves being official - the problem is to get around what the law says, which is you have to be doing something that generates a profit," he said. "This is an argument we have been having with HMRC [HM Revenue & Customs] for some time. "It also affects actors, they spend a lot of time doing things that aren't necessarily work, such as spending time on their appearance, but which they hope will get them work. "Katie is getting work, and she can prove her income. "She can now ask for a mandatory reconsideration, and if that isn't successful, she can appeal, and I would expect her to win at a social security tribunal. "It's not necessarily easy - I would recommend she gets advice from the Citizens' Advice Bureau, but the actual cost is free." Serial entrepreneur Emma Sinclair said she was sympathetic but there was a reason for the current rules. "The structure of the government's working tax credits scheme reflects the traditional compensation of hourly rates that many people count on," she said. "That isn't the way many of us earn a living these days - nor do hourly rates necessarily reflect the time we commit to the careers we are pursuing. "That being said, HMRC needs to have sensible, easy-to-define structures in place, such as those for WTCs. "It's impossible for it to cater to every scenario - so while I truly sympathise with the blogger in question, the system is designed to support people on hourly rates. "That's one of the reasons why the entrepreneurial path is so challenging: time spent rarely reflects income accrued on a day to day basis. "That being said, I do think the government needs to think about the changing way that people work these days." Hyojung Lim, 43, of High Street, New Malden, appeared at the Old Bailey via videolink from prison accused of the murder of her partner Jaesok Lee. He was found collapsed at an address in High Street, New Malden, at about 01:20 GMT on 2 March and died at the site. A plea and case management hearing has been set for Ms Lim on 24 May. A provisional trial date has been set for 8 August. Ms Lim has been remanded in custody. It will be a criminal offence to have an air weapon without a licence or permit from 31 December 2016. Anyone found guilty of the new offence could be fined or face up to two years in prison. Owners can apply to Police Scotland for a new air weapon certificate from 1 July. The three-week amnesty began on 23 May and will run until 12 June. Ch Insp Mike Whitford, of Tayside's divisional coordination unit, said 261 weapons had been handed in so far. He said: "Every one of these weapons has the potential to cause serious injury or death, in particular to children or young people if handled incorrectly. "There will be many lying around in homes across Tayside unused and this is a great opportunity to get rid of them." The weapons can be handed in to police headquarters in Dundee, Perth and Forfar. Mr Whitford said: "I would encourage anyone who has such a weapon to consider if they are likely to apply for a certificate under the new legislation and if not, hand it in to one of designated stations. "It will remove the risk from their family and other members of the public. "If you are carrying a weapon to a police station, please keep it in a bag to avoid causing alarm." The legislation was passed by MSPs in June 2015. The Scottish government pledged to introduce the licensing scheme following the death of Glasgow toddler Andrew Morton, who was shot dead by an airgun in 2005.

"Our TV offering alongside the wealth of radio, online and digital content means the BBC will be at the heart of the action as the tournament unfolds. "Just as we did with the first live TV broadcast of the women's boat race earlier this year, the BBC are once again leading the way in women's sport." The 22-year-old has agreed a two-and-a-half-year-deal with the Latics. Whitehead began his career at Stockport and secured a move to Premier League side West Ham after a recommendation by then Stockport manager Dietmar Hamman. "Every club is on the lookout for fresh talent," Wigan boss Gary Caldwell told the club website. "It is a case of acting fast and looking to the future with these signings. "Like any young player, their early career can take a few twists and turns, but it's clear Danny has potential which we want him to start realising with us." Whitehead, who joined the Slikmen from Accrington, becomes Wigan's second signing this month after Dan Lavercombe. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

They then powered to a 21-12 success in the decider to reach the last-four. "The crowd played a massive part in helping us turn that around," Gabby Adcock told BBC Sport. Chris Adcock added: "They are the best pair in the world at making you feel like you're not playing well and it was a real struggle for us to begin with. "We could have easily crumbled and been out of here, going home, so I'm really pleased with how we responded and how the crowd helped us."

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the move while also re-appointing Naomi Eisenstadt as the independent child poverty adviser. Ms Sturgeon said the UK's approach to the issue was "fundamentally wrong", and is now seeking to develop Scotland-specific legislation. She said consultations for the new bill would be published over the summer. The Scottish government has previously only had its own Child Poverty Strategy, but will now work to cement what Ms Sturgeon called the "distinctly Scottish approach" in legislation. Speaking during a visit to the Prince's Trust in Glasgow, Ms Sturgeon said her government "profoundly disagree" with the UK government's approach, which has included repealing parts of the 2010 Child Poverty Act. She said: "It is simply unacceptable that children are growing up in poverty and we must do all we can to tackle the inequality that still exists in 21st century Scotland. "While we have made progress as a government through the Child Poverty Strategy, it's clear from feedback from my independent poverty adviser, Naomi Eisenstadt, and others that we must keep striving to do more and we need to do more to enshrine our distinctly Scottish approach in law. "By repealing large parts of the Child Poverty Act, including the income-based child poverty targets, the UK government has signalled that they do not see child poverty and the incomes of poor families as priorities. "That is fundamentally wrong. With the introduction of this new legislation, the Scottish government is sending the message, in the strongest possible terms, that we profoundly disagree." The UK government has defended its approach, saying "eradicating child poverty is an absolute priority", with the aim to "drive effective government action by focusing attention on making meaningful change to children's life chances". Ms Eisenstadt said the Scottish government's move was a "positive, practical and constructive step forward". She added: "This legislation will maximise the chances that all people living in Scotland lead productive and healthy lives. We need to stop the cycle of poverty and prevent the next generation of young people being born into poverty." Groups from the End Child Poverty campaign also welcomed the announcement, calling for a broad strategy to tackle poverty of all forms. Poverty Alliance director Peter Kelly said: "We need focused and coordinated action to reduce poverty in Scotland, and setting out in law what needs to be done will help bring about that action. "If we are really to make progress towards eradicating child poverty then we need a comprehensive national anti-poverty strategy that involves all parts and layers of government." John Dickie of the Child Poverty Action Group in Scotland said the legislation was "hugely welcome" and hopefully a "vital development", while Martin Crewe of Barnardo's Scotland said it was "very good news". He said politicians must avoid doing nothing as the global economy nears a "T-junction". "Be obsessed with growth," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "Genuine inclusive growth." "If they do that, they will be surprised by their impact." Mr el-Erian, who is also chairman of US President Barack Obama's Global Development Council and former chief executive of bond giant Pimco, said money which could be put to good use was idling on companies' balance sheets. "Companies are sitting on a ton of cash," he said. They were spending it on dividends and buying back their own shares, he added. If they instead spent it on real economic expansion, such as new factories and hiring workers, it would "turbocharge" growth, he said. "I think we are heading towards a T-junction" as experimental central bank policy comes to an end, he said. "The wrong turn means the return to global recession, greater financial instability, greater inequality, greater political dysfunction and higher tensions on the social side." Politicians needed a "comprehensive" set of policies to avoid that scenario, he said. Companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa were sitting on €870bn (£660bn) at the end of 2014, according to Moody's Investors Service, up 6% from a year earlier. Mr el-Erian is not alone in wanting companies' cash to be better spent. In September, Swiss bank UBS said in a note: "Companies in many parts of the world have prioritised dividends and buybacks over capital spending or research and development. "In individual cases, this may make sense, but viewed as a whole, it poses a significant challenge for economic growth. "For each dollar that the largest US public companies devote to investment, around nine dollars are handed back to shareholders. "Over the last two years, corporate spending on buybacks has climbed 45% in the US, with a 21% rise in dividends." Capital investment, "by contrast, has climbed just 11%". Mr el-Erian also warned that a comprehensive plan from central banks and other authorities such as the International Monetary Fund was missing, as some policymakers, such as those in the US, raised interest rates, while others, such as in Japan and Europe, cut theirs. They have "enormous trouble in communicating", he said. For example, there was no guidance on the balance of risks to the US economy in the latest Federal Reserve policy statement, he said. "That is a huge statement and a consequential one," he said. "I've never seen such a low level of global policy co-ordination," he said. "Each part of the global orchestra is playing a different tune." When asked about risks in China, he compared the jump in stock prices there with the bubble in home ownership in the US in the run-up to the sub-prime mortgage crisis in 2008. Both stock ownership and home ownership were seen as a social good and they "went too far", he said. But, he said, China was going through "the typical transition of what development economists call the 'middle income' phase and what I call going from a teenager to being an adult". No country had managed the transition to a developed economy "without some decline in the growth rate", he said. "The good thing about the Chinese is that they learn," he said. "I think people will be surprised by the ability to soft land" or avoid a shock, he said. It is the first time a league executive has made such a concession. Jeff Miller, the NFL's vice president of health and safety, was quizzed about CTE by United States politicians. Asked whether there was a link between the game and neurodegenerative diseases like CTE, Miller replied: "The answer to that question is certainly yes." In the build-up to Super Bowl 50 earlier this year, neurosurgeon Mitch Berger, who leads the NFL's subcommittee on long-term brain injury, said no link between American football and CTE had been established. Jan Schakowsky, who represents Illinois, was critical of Berger's comments, saying the league was "peddling a false sense of security" in downplaying the dangers of head trauma. "Football is a high-risk sport because of the routine hits, not just diagnosable concussions," said Schakowsky. "What the American public needs now is honesty about the health risks and clearly more research." The NFL has previously acknowledged that head trauma, particularly concussion, poses a risk to the long-term health of players. However, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and other top officials have not made definitive public statements on the matter. Media playback is not supported on this device In giving his answers, Miller cited the work of Boston University neuropathologist Ann McKee. She told committee members there is no doubt in her mind the illness, which can only be detected after death, is linked to playing football. "I unequivocally think there's a link between playing football and CTE," said McKee. "We've seen it in 90 out of 94 NFL players whose brains we've examined. "We've found it in 45 out of 55 college players and six out of 26 high school players." Some 5,000 former players have sued the NFL, claiming it hid the dangers of repeated head trauma. CTE is associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia. The disease, which can only be diagnosed after death, has been found in the brains of dozens of former American football players. The Ocean Medallion can be worn as a necklace, clip or keychain - or carried in a passenger's pocket. It will connect to onboard facilities, tracking meal orders or automatically unlocking guests' cabins as they approach the door, for example. One analyst said it would have to be easy to use to entice holidaymakers. Details of the project are being outlined at two events at the CES tech show in Las Vegas. The Ocean Medallion will connect with onboard systems on the first specially modified cruise ship later this year via internet of things technology. Other ships in the Princess Cruises fleet will then adopt the system. It was a "great example of novel uses for smart devices", said Martin Garner, a tech analyst at CCS Insight. "But, because people go on cruises as a relaxing holiday, the system will have to work flawlessly and be super-easy to use," he told the BBC. He also noted that, just like upgrading a big hotel, the venture would likely be a costly one - which adds "a degree of risk" for Carnival. The first ship to feature the system is the Regal Princess. 75 miles (121km) of cables, more than 7,000 sensors and 4,000 digital screens were installed in 10 days in Italy. "It's going to almost be invisible to guests," the company said. "They're not going to realise how much [technology] is in here." Holiday resorts and cruise ship brands, including Carnival's rival Royal Caribbean Cruises, increasingly offer visitors access to various services via smart bands or wearable gadgets. The undertaking could perhaps foreshadow what life in a future smart city or internet of things-powered shopping complex might be like. But Mr Garner noted not everyone had the capabilities of a cruise line. "City officials don't typically have the budget to do grand-vision schemes like the Carnival re-fit," he said. "In fact, most cities are chronically short of budget." Connection technologies built in to the Ocean Medallion include Bluetooth and near field communications (NFC), according to the travel firm. This will allow passengers to: The service will be offered first to passengers on the Regal Princess ship from November. It will then be expanded to the Royal Princess and Caribbean Princess ships in 2018.

"Michael Jackson sang, 'heal the world.. make the world a better place for you and for me... and the entire human race'," Mr Mahama told assembled world leaders in New York. "What happened to that enthusiasm?" he wondered. While unusual, it transpires that Mr Mahama - who proudly told delegates he was born the same year as "one of the greatest artistes that ever lived" - is not the only politician to be inspired by the words of a musician. Here are five others who used their favourite recording artists in order to make their points: Among the things former UK Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron will be remembered for is his penchant for The Smiths, which he reminded us of during one of his final appearances in parliament. "As someone about to enter the political graveyard perhaps I could misquote my favourite man and say 'let's meet at the cemetery gates'!" he joked - slightly different from the actual lyric, which is "So I meet you at the cemetery gates". It is not the first time his love of the band has made an appearance in parliament. Back in 2010, he and Labour MP Kerry McCarthy traded song names across the floor, The Smiths, however, have let the world know they are not a fan of his. "I do forbid him to like it. He shouldn't like us because we're not his kind of people," guitarist Johnny Marr told the Today programme in 2013, echoing similar statements made by lead singer Morrissey. Former UK Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan quoted Waiting at the Church, an old dance hall song, in 1978 to quash speculation of a general election that year. "Remember what happened to Marie Lloyd," the prime minister told the Trades Union Congress. "She fixed the day and the date, and she told us what happened. As far as I remember it went like this: 'There was I, waiting at the church.' Perhaps you recall how it went on. "'All at once he sent me round a note. Here's the very note. This is what he wrote: Can't get away to marry you today, my wife won't let me.' Now let me just make clear that I have promised nobody that I shall be at the altar in October. Nobody at all." Unfortunately for Callaghan, the song was not only not performed by Marie Lloyd, but he lost the election to Margaret Thatcher in 1979. US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is fond of quoting The Snake - a 60s soul song by the late civil rights activist Oscar Brown Jr - when making a point about welcoming refugees to America. The song tells the story of a woman caring for a serpent after taking pity on him, and ends with her getting bitten by his poisonous fangs. The final two lines - the snake's response to the doomed woman's last question of "why" - go: "Oh shut up silly woman, said the reptile with a grin. "You knew damn well I was a snake before you let me in." The song's use has been met with horror - both by people on social media, disgusted with the comparison of refugees to snakes, and by Oscar Brown's family. The singer's daughter Maggie Brown told the Chicago Tribune: "If dad were alive, he would've ripped (Trump) with a great poem in rebuttal. Not only a poem and a song, but an essay and everything else." In Australia, Labor senator Sam Dastyari quoted American superstar Taylor Swift in parliament as he made a point about the state of his opponents. He read out the lyrics to Swift's song Blank Space, saying it "really is a modern soliloquy on the Liberal party". "Saw you there and I thought oh my God, look at that face. You look like my next mistake," he began. "New money, suit and tie. I can read you like a magazine. Ain't it funny, rumours fly. And I know you heard about me," he deadpanned. "So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames. You can never tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain." Outgoing US President Barack Obama did not even need to say the actual lyric in one of his speeches ahead of his 2008 election - the Democrat managed to encapsulate an entire Jay-Z song in just one movement. "When you are running for the presidency, then you got to expect [criticism], and you just kind of got to let it...' Obama told an adoring crowd, letting the sentence hang in the air before brushing dirt off his shoulder - a nod to Jay-Z's hit Dirt Off Your Shoulders. But unlike Trump and Cameron, the use was welcomed by the hip hop star. "He's tuned into the culture which is fantastic," Jay-Z told BBC Newsbeat at the time. "I feel like Frank Sinatra back in the day when Frank Sinatra was mingling with the Kennedys." Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino scored, with only keeper David de Gea preventing a heavier first-leg loss. Scholes, who made 718 appearances for United, told BT Sport that the Old Trafford club "have certain standards and they have fallen well short". He added: "Liverpool had a way of playing. United didn't have a clue." The second leg of the last-16 tie takes place at Old Trafford next Thursday (20:05 GMT). Louis van Gaal's side are sixth in the Premier League, three points off the top four as they chase Champions League qualification for next season, and face fifth-placed West Ham in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday. They dropped into the Europa League after finishing third in a Champions League group that also included Wolfsburg, PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow. "Manchester United should be competing to win the Premier League and Champions League every season," said Scholes. Media playback is not supported on this device "They have spent £300m and they are sixth in the league. They have ended up in the Europa League after failing in a poor Champions League group. They should be competing with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. "I hope none of the players comes out saying sorry on Twitter. Stop talking on social media and start playing. "The last thing I want for Manchester United is to be happy with finishing fourth and winning the FA Cup. That's what Arsenal do." United had won their four previous games against Liverpool under Van Gaal but rarely looked like beating them on Thursday. The Dutchman felt the goals his side conceded were "cheap" but accepted they could not handle Liverpool's pressing game. "It was a surprise that we did not cope with it," he said. "In the second half, we tried to press like Liverpool. They had difficulties, but we did not create too many chances." Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised the "electric" Anfield atmosphere after his side beat United for the first time in two years. "The atmosphere was unbelievable, really great. I want to say thank you to everyone that was involved," said the German. "That was Liverpool how I knew it before I came here. "No matter how you play against Manchester United, it is always difficult to make chances. We could have scored more goals in the first half, but that's life. "Scoring the second goal was very important. We know it is only the first leg but we needed to win it and we did. We are in a good position now." Flight QR920 landed on Monday after 16 hours and 23 minutes, slightly quicker than expected. The Boeing 777-200LR jet was showered with water cannons on arrival - a tradition for airlines on new routes. Carriers like to talk up these records, but how are they measured and do they really matter? Longest (time) or furthest (distance) are the two key distinctions to make, but it's not as simple as it might sound. Qatar Airways' new route maybe the longest by time. But the 14,535km (9,032 miles) trip is not the longest existing flight by distance - a claim currently held by Air India's Delhi to San Francisco route which is 15,127 km. The distance between two cities doesn't vary for airlines of course, but they might choose to take alternate routes. For example, a carrier might choose to avoid flying over certain countries which can alter how far a plane flies from point A to point B. But regardless of the route, flight time is dependent on headwinds or tailwinds. For example Qatar's return leg form Auckland to Doha is is expected to take about 18 hours because of headwinds. "The longest flying time doesn't always correspond with the longest distance," says Ellis Taylor of Flightglobal. "Of course, from a passenger perspective, the flying time is probably the best measurement." Record-breaking flights may make headlines. But new long-haul flights mean nothing if they're treated as a standalone route, says Mr Taylor. Rather, it's what a new route brings to the airline's existing network. "On its own, it wouldn't be viable to fly between Auckland and Doha, but Qatar is focusing on the passengers from Auckland going on to Europe, Africa, the US or elsewhere," says Mr Taylor. "In that light, even though it may take some time for the route to stack up from a profit perspective, it may help the economics of its wider network." Historically, most of the major long-haul routes have been serviced by legacy airlines like Singapore Airlines and Australia's Qantas. But adding new routes have allowed newer airlines like Qatar, and perhaps most notably Emirates, to expand their business very rapidly. "It's also about reach for Middle East airlines striving to outdo each other," says Geoffrey Thomas of Airlineratings.com. Longest flight records will continue to change hands as airlines launch new routes, and the range capability of aircraft improves. Last year, for example, Qantas revealed it would fly direct between Perth and London from March 2018, a flight that will take 17 hours. The price of fuel and the types of planes which airlines buy will be the determining factors in opening new routes "With the arrival of the 777-8X in 2022, new records such as flights from Sydney to New York and Sydney to London will be set," says Mr Thomas. "The 777-8X will be the ultimate long haul airliner." But remember, for routes to be viable, they also require people to buy tickets. That depends on passengers being willing to sit in their seats for 16, 17 or maybe 18 hours at a time. How long that desire will last (especially for travellers cramped up in economy) is something airlines will monitor carefully. The title is derived from a quote by Polish journalist and author Ryszard Kapuscinski, who called for the telling of authentic stories by being part of them and also to penetrate to the heart of the issue. Here is a selection of the students' work. Laird's work is not only drawn from the land but is part of it. Her prints were created by the peat bogs and moorlands on the Isle of Lewis. By placing the photographic paper in the boggy water Laird has allowed the elements to permanently imprint themselves. "Although the pure poetry of the moor would be a worthy documentary subject in itself, my desire to represent the moor was also driven by a political imperative," says Laird. "Through the eyes of big business, the peat lands of Lewis are seen as desolate and unworthy of preservation." The work is presented as an audio slideshow, bringing the sounds alive and just to add another dimension, 50kg of peat is placed next to the installation. One of the great joys of being a photographer comes when travelling, with potential images around every corner. Yunya Yin spent more than 120 hours on the Trans-Siberian Railway going from Beijing to Moscow via Siberia for her final project. "I defined my experience as a timeless journey, attributing an unregulated feel to my images," she says. "The work consists of nature, architecture, landscapes and people. It is not a travel diary, nor is it related to any social issues. The project explores the relationship between time and space, humans and their environments." "Similar to a dreamlike state I provide the viewer with scattered fragments, giving them the power to try and make sense of my images in their own way." As well as being beautiful objects, the pictures reveal the highs and lows of a long journey - but more than that capture something of the displacement and uncertainty of lives on the move. Seb Heseltine's work is more of a straight documentary style and looks at the coal fires that have burnt out of control for around 100 years in mines in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand. The fire and the poisonous smoke mean the area is not fit for habitation yet people work in these conditions and some scavenge for coal. "Reports are suggesting that it is no longer possible to stabilise the land through sand slating, which could lead to the entire area of Jharia being evacuated," says Heseltine. "Mining corporations estimate that the number of families affected would be around 67,000 but according to local protesters the amount requiring rehabilitation is closer to 100,000 families (700,000 people)." Jadwiga Bronte's pictures explore the lives of those living in Internats in Belarus. Bronte describes these as "something between an asylum, orphanage and hospice". "These photos are a story of those people as human beings; as people who suffer and struggle against injustice in everyday life and as people who look after each other, build long lasting friendships and even fall in love," says Bronte. "These invisible people stay invisible. There may be nobody to remember them after all and a picture might be the only proof of their existence." Smyth travelled to Jordan to document the lives of children who have found themselves caught up in the conflict in Syria. "These children have been coined the Lost Generation of Syrian children, those who find themselves in a state of flux, disrupted and disturbed and having lost years of their childhood to war," says Smyth. This is the start of the a project that will follow four children as they grow up. Kazuma Obara's work is fascinating as it was shot using film found in Pripyat, the abandoned town a few miles from the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl, Ukraine, scene of the world's worst nuclear accident in 1986. Obara said: "Just five months after the disaster, a girl was born in Kiev which is located to the south of Chernobyl. The wind included a great amount of radioactive elements blown from the north to the south-west. Finally, it spread widely to areas including Europe and the girl became one of the victims of the tragedy. This series of pictures represent the last 30 years of the life of that invisible girl." Scott's work delves into the the lives of residents in Deptford Creek in London. "The journey by Docklands Light Railway between Deptford Bridge and Greenwich takes sixty seconds," says Scott. "It traverses 2,000 years of human settlement and industry that began far below along the marshy banks of Deptford Creek." Her pictures bring those traces of lives lived, and being lived, to life. Combined with interviews and text, Scott's photographs are a delight. An exhibition of these pictures and those of other students can be seen at the London College of Communication until 23 January 2016. You can see more on their website, In the forest of things. BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten called the news "disappointing", though the head of the World service said there would be "no cuts to output". Funding for the World Service will transfer from the Foreign Office to the BBC licence fee from next April. In response to the announcement, Lord Patten said the BBC would increase the service's funding to £245m in 2014. The figure is £6.5m more than the £238.5m currently being provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. "This is the fourth 'one-off' funding cut in four years," said Peter Horrocks, director of the World Service. The service, he continued, was "determined that this unexpected cut should not damage existing services to audiences" There would be "no cuts to output nor reductions to staff or headcount as a result" of the cut, though it did mean the service would "not be able to invest in new programmes and platforms as planned". Mr Horrocks welcomed the Trust's confirmation of its 2014 budget, which he said would protect the service. "International broadcasting is a business that needs long-term strategy and consistent funding support," he said. "When it comes under licence fee funding from April next year, the BBC Trust will be able to give the World Service a far greater degree of financial security," said Lord Patten. As a result, he continued, "it can continue to provide its much-needed and valued services for audiences around the world". The BBC said it was also expecting the Foreign Office to fund an extra £500,000 this financial year for new TV services in Afghanistan, Burma and Somalia. Speaking last year, Horrocks said 2012 had seen the World Service recover from "very substantial cuts and drops in audience". The operation lost an audience of around 14 million following government cuts to its budget which resulted in five of its language services being dropped.

The Association of British Commuters says ministers have acted unlawfully by failing to determine whether managers have breached franchise obligations. The RMT and Aslef unions have staged a series of strikes amid the long-running dispute over the role of conductors. The Department for Transport refused to comment on "ongoing legal proceedings". Southern's parent company, Govia Thameslink Railway, has been holding talks with the drivers' union Aslef over giving drivers responsibility for opening and closing carriage doors. RMT members first walked out in April last year and were joined by members of Aslef, making the dispute the longest-running rail strike since the railways were privatised in 1996. Southern rail strike: What's it about? The rail passengers group has also accused transport minister Chris Grayling of failing to comply with his duties under the 2010 Equality Act, causing indirect discrimination to passengers with disabilities. It said if the court grants it leave to continue, it will launch a crowd funding campaign to raise funds. A spokesman said: "Our detailed grounds, lodged at court today, are the result of five months' hard work and the extensive research of dozens of volunteers who have supported the campaign by contributing their time and professional skills. "Our donors, volunteers and supporters are the people who have been hit the hardest by the Southern rail crisis, and they deserve to play a part in finally bringing the government to account. "We began this process back in September, at a time when we felt we'd already reached our last resort. "That it has got so much worse, and the DfT have still not acted, now beggars belief," he said. "We continue to urge the DfT to act decisively and transparently on the future of Southern rail. "The longer they stand back from this unprecedented rail crisis, the harder it will be to put the pieces back together again." The legal bid has the backing of the Campaign For Better Transport and Transport For All. It was the sixth time the NBA's third highest scorer had scored 60 points, beaten only by Wilt Chamberlain. "You can't write something better than this," said 37-year-old Bryant, who helped the Lakers come from behind to beat Utah Jazz 101-96. Basketball fans paid up to $27,500 (£19,315) to see Bryant's final game. He attempted 50 shots on the night, the most by anyone in an NBA game in the last 30 seasons. From 1 to 48,655: Kobe Bryant's career in numbers Farewell to the Mamba: Kobe Bryant Bryant led the Lakers as they overturned a 20-point deficit at half-time, scoring 23 points in the fourth quarter of his 1,556th game with the team. Bryant, who made his debut in November 1996, finished with 33,643 career points - third on the NBA's all-time scoring list behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and Karl Malone (36,928). He checked out with 4.1 seconds left and hugged former team-mate Shaquille O'Neal as a sell-out crowd at the Staples Center chanted: "Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!'' The 18-time All-Star, known as the 'Black Mamba,' told the crowd: "I can't believe how fast 20 years went by, this is crazy. "What's funny is the fact I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball, then the last night they're like 'don't pass it!' "What can I say? Mamba out." Bryant, who was voted Most Valuable Player in 2008, the same year he won the first of his two Olympic gold medals with the United States, added: "To carry on the legacy and tradition of all the great Lakers that came before - it's unfathomable. I can't express what a dream this is. Media playback is not supported on this device "I gave everything I could to the game, that's why I'm so comfortable walking away. I bared my soul to this game, I left it all here." Reflecting on his final game and a remarkable comeback that produced a fairytale victory, Bryant continued: "All night long my team-mates were just continuing to feed me the ball, I just had to take the challenge. "I tried to not watch the news, to just stay in the present because I didn't want to come out here and completely stink it up - which I did for the first five minutes! "I was just like, 'OK, I've got to settle down'. Defensively I got some plays - I got some steals, I got a block - and that kind of got me into the game a little bit." Lakers legend Magic Johnson had earlier told the crowd: "He never cheated us as fans. He has played hurt, and we have five championship banners to show for it." US President Barack Obama joined in with the tributes, tweeting: "farewell for an all-timer". A 62nd-minute try from lock Abbie Scott proved the decisive score. Emma Croker scored a first-half try following Amber Reed's early penalty to put England eight points ahead. Niamh Briggs replied with two penalties before the break and a third, eight minutes into the second half, put the visitors 9-8 in front. Ireland exerted more pressure after that and number eight Harriet Millar-Mills was sin-binned for England. But the hosts survived and were able to hold their lead once Scott had scored, even though Reed missed the conversion and a subsequent penalty. The result lifts world champions England above France, who play Wales in Neath on Sunday, to the top of the table. Ireland, who have finished top in two of the last three years, stay third following their second successive defeat. Have you added the new Top Story alerts in the BBC Sport app?

The company will close its remaining 122 shops after last year shutting down 200 of its outlets. Corporate recovery firm Quantuma has been appointed to oversee the liquidation of Store Twenty One which has been struggling for some time. Partner Simon Bonney said the retail sector is facing challenges, "not least with the changes in business rates". He added: "The company was founded in 1932 and unfortunately it is another example of the difficulties arising in the current economy." Quantuma said that Store Twenty One's sales have declined in recent years with sustained losses. The retailer had been operating under a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) since last year. This gives an insolvent business time to pay its creditors and, if they agree, to continue trading. However, a court recently issued an order to wind the company up after it failed to secure additional investment. The company was born out of a London-based manufacturing business which was set up in 1932 and supplied clothing to West End stores, in particular Marks & Spencer. After the war, its factory outlet shops became popular, which stocked products that did not meet stringent quality controls specified by M&S. In the 1970s, the company expanded its reach and went on to float on the London Stock Exchange in the 1990s. It was eventually taken private then acquired in 2007 by textile company Grabal Alok. Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said she was willing to talk to her counterpart from Pyongyang, if the chance "naturally occurs". North Korea's repeated missile and nuclear weapon tests have been condemned by neighbours in the region. The United Nations security council is set to vote on fresh sanctions against the isolated state later on Saturday. Foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) are meeting in Manila in the Philippines. South Korea's Yonhap news agency reports "cautious expectations" that Kang Kyung-wha would meet North Korea's Ri Yong-ho on the sidelines of the forum. "If there is an opportunity that naturally occurs, we should talk," Ms Kang told the agency. "I would like to deliver our desire for the North to stop its provocations and positively respond to our recent special offers (for talks) aimed at establishing a peace regime." US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will also be attending the weekend's talks, where North Korea's nuclear programme is expected to be a main topic. As the meeting began, Asean members issued a joint statement saying they had "grave concerns" over North Korea's actions, which "seriously threaten peace". Pyongyang tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July, claiming it now had the ability to launch a strike against the entire US. However, experts doubt the capability of the missiles to hit their targets. The tests were condemned by South Korea, Japan, and the US, and prompted the drafting of new UN sanctions. China, North Korea's only international ally, has also criticised the tests. As a veto-wielding member of the UN Security Council, it has often protected Pyongyang from harmful resolutions. Reports say, however, that it is likely to support Saturday's resolution banning North Korean exports and limiting investments. The export of coal, ore and other raw materials to China is one of North Korea's few sources of cash. Estimates say that North Korea exports about $3bn worth of good each year - and the proposed sanctions could eliminate $1bn of that trade. Earlier this year, China suspended imports of coal to increase pressure on Pyongyang. Repeated sanctions have so far failed to deter North Korea from continuing with its missile development. Customers have been spotting "special offers" in shops where the deals on items are not as good as they seem. When bamboozled by numerous store deals, most shoppers are unable to identify the cheapest, according to financial experts. But some eagle-eyed shoppers have pictured some of the not-so-great bargains available on the shelves. Pat Monger tweeted a picture of this deal in a Tesco in Chichester. She says: "This one was confusing, but in the best possible way for a Diet Coke addict." It certainly would not have been a suitable offer for Geri from Haddington, East Lothian, who got in touch with us to say: "Most price-saving offers are geared towards bulk buying. We are OAPs, and we do not need to bulk buy due to wastage and lack of storage. Consequently, such offers are useless for us." On Twitter, @barrydiz took this image of two different sized jars of mustard - the smaller jar being the dearest, in a Co-op store in Surrey. "How does this work?" he asks. @manatrue tweeted us her "special offer" experience: Katherine Kent from Glossop in Derbyshire says she takes her time when she shops so that she can work out the best deals. "I always have my calculator app with me when shopping because the offers in the supermarkets are so confusing. It may take an extra half hour to do my shopping, but I save money by ensuring that I calculate the best deal." @BaconBantam tweeted this Asda "offer" that would cost customers two pence more if two of the same items were bought. @robburrow says he could have saved a hefty thruppence here: "I'm confused as to how they thought this was a special offer." Fortunately, shoppers have kept their sense of humour in the aisles, such as @che7119: And finally, when there is no offer at all - @darrenjs took this image of a Sainsbury's "bargain": Jonathan Hughes from the Great Orme microbrewery is asking other parts of the drinks industry to follow his lead. He is donating every 1p cut in beer duty from his sales to the National Association of Children of Alcoholics (Nacoa). His plea for others to follow suit is being supported by the Society of Independent Brewers. "My plan is that rather than pocketing that 1p duty reduction, we donate it to Nacoa," said Mr Hughes, whose brewery is based at Glan Conwy. "I would call on other alcohol producers - big and small - to look at practical ways they can help reduce the effects of alcohol abuse on society. Mr Hughes said he accepted that as a small producer his financial contribution would be limited, but he is convinced it is a positive step for the industry. "British beer making is in a renaissance, with more small producers offering a wealth of amazing real ales and true regional diversity. "However, I do believe that if we, as a sector, are to be socially responsible then we must acknowledge the potential negative aspects of alcohol and take steps to address it." Keith Bott, chairman of the Society of Independent Brewers, said the body was "hugely supportive" of Mr Hughes stance. "I think it encapsulates everything that the British brewing industry is about, in particular independent brewers and the way they can support the wider community," he said. "Every brewer will decide what they do themselves but this is a fantastic idea which illustrates one of the ways in which we can be supportive." The Conwy Valley brewer sealed his pledge to support the Nacoa charity at its annual awards dinner recently. The charity's chief executive Hilary Henriques said she was delighted by the move. "Every child deserves to live a creative and meaningful life," she said. "Sadly, when alcoholism is the family secret, children are more likely to experience difficult situations with family violence, neglect and other problems. "The Nacoa helpline is funded entirely by voluntary donations and we applaud Jonathan Hughes of the Great Orme Brewery for the 1p Campaign - every penny will fund our work providing information, advice and support for children struggling with their parents alcohol problems." Andrew Savage, 47, of no fixed address, killed Glen Hack, 41, at the property in Victoria Road, Farnham, last July. Mr Hack suffered multiple injuries. He was found guilty at Guildford Crown Court earlier this week. Co-defendant Gareth Wheeler, 46, of Victoria Road, Farnham, was jailed for 15 months after pleading guilty to assisting an offender. Savage was told he would serve a minimum of 22 years in jail. Surrey Police said jurors were told that Savage had recently struck-up a casual friendship with Mr Hack and was staying at his home. The court heard Savage was also an alcoholic and a person of bad character who had convictions dating back 30 years including assault, theft and harassment. Savage had carried out the murder in a drunken rage after Mr Hack refused to give him access to money to buy more alcohol, the court heard. Det Insp Paddy Mayer said it was "a brutal attack on an innocent man who opened up his home to Savage because he knew he was homeless". "His kindness was repaid with an act of complete savagery," he added. When Mr Hack's family paid tribute to him last year, they described him as a warm and kind man who was a "free spirit".

Around 100 others were wounded in the explosion, which may have been caused by a female suicide attacker from the Islamic State group, officials say. Kobane has seen heavy fighting between IS militants and Kurdish fighters. It was retaken by the Kurds from IS forces earlier this year. Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said initial findings suggested the attack was the work of IS. "Turkey has taken and will continue to take all necessary measures against Islamic State," Mr Davutoglu told a news conference in Ankara, according to Reuters. "Measures on our border with Syria... will be increased," he added. The Federation of Socialist Youth Associations (SGDF) is reported to have had at least 300 members staying at the Amara Culture Centre in Suruc, where the explosion happened. The young people had been planning to travel to Kobane to help with rebuilding the town. A video released on social media apparently showed the moment of the blast, at a news conference taking place in the centre's garden. In the video, a group of young people are chanting slogans while holding the federation's flags and a large banner with the words: "We defended it together, we are building it together." Then an explosion rips through the assembled youngsters. Graphic images of the aftermath show bodies littering the ground, with the red flags being used to cover them. The district governor of Suruc, Abdullah Ciftci, said: "The fact that it is a suicide attack increases the possibility that IS is responsible. "We think the attacker was a woman. "Preliminary findings show that she was acting on her own," he told BBC Turkish. A local journalist, Faruk Baran, told BBC Turkish that there was panic in Suruc after the attack, with shopkeepers closing up for fear of a second attack. Suruc residents had feared that they could be IS's next target ever since the attack on the pro-Kurdish party's election rally in Diyarbakir on 5 June, he said. Suruc houses many refugees who have fled the fighting in Kobane. IS overran the Syrian town in September last year, but it was retaken by Kurdish forces in January. In June Kobane once more came under assault from IS, with hundreds dead, but the militants were driven out again. Kobane: Inside the town devastated by fight against IS The suicide bomb attack on the Amara Cultural Centre is one of the bloodiest suicide attacks in Turkey in years. Suruc is a small Kurdish-majority city just a 15-minute drive from the border with Kobane. Kurdish activists in Suruc played a vital role during the siege of Kobane, sending food and medicine to the YPG Kurdish fighters to bolster their supplies. Many journalists and foreign fighters who wanted to go to Kobane went to Suruc and from there were sent on. At the time of the attack, 300 young activists were preparing to make a statement and cross the border into Kobane to help to rebuild the city. Local Kurdish politicians in Suruc blame the Islamic State (IS) group for the attack. IS suffered a heavy loss and defeat in Kobane earlier this year. Also last month the YPG captured Tal Abyad, one of the most important IS border crossings with Turkey. Kurds believe the militant group wants to take revenge on civilian Kurds inside Turkey. In June it was reported to have carried out numerous attacks on Turkey's pro-Kurdish Party, HDP, during the run-up to the Turkish parliamentary elections, but IS never said it was responsible. The group is believed to have many sympathisers inside Turkey and they could carry out attacks against additional targets. Who are the Kurds? Jack Grealish curled in a deserved opener from 20 yards, his first goal, for a dominant Villa early on and Carles Gil swept in a second. Ritchie de Laet volleyed the hosts a lifeline and Jamie Vardy prodded Leicester level. Nathan Dyer scored the winner with a brave late header on his debut. The winger had only signed from Swansea on loan on deadline day but made himself an instant hero and left Villa with just one win from five matches. He just beat goalkeeper Brad Guzan to a chipped pass from the impressive Riyad Mahrez before taking a blow to the head and staying down injured as the ball rolled into the net. Algerian winger Mahrez proved the inspiration behind Leicester's second-half recovery as he continued his impressive start to the season. He had scored four goals already this season to help the Foxes to an unbeaten start, but a poor first half was mirrored by his side as they were dominated by Villa. He came to life after the break with a stunning display of pace and skill, having a hand in all three of rejuvenated Leicester's second-half goals. His improvement, and his side's, came when they switched to a 4-2-3-1 from a 4-4-2, as the Foxes took the game to Villa. They were well on top when Gil doubled Villa's lead but, with Mahrez's corner flicked home by De Laet, Leicester continued to push and got the goals their second-half display deserved. Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester City have now gone nine Premier League games unbeaten, winning six, and are joint level with Manchester City as the Premier League's form team since 4 April. Leicester have picked up 33 points from 14 matches and, with the exception of top scorers Manchester City, have scored at least 11 more goals than any other team in this period. There were fears for their top-flight safety after the sacking of manager Nigel Pearson in the summer but, under former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri, they have continued where they left off. Villa had to cope with the summer losses of Fabian Delph, Ron Vlaar and Christian Benteke down the spine of their team, making their slow start to the season no surprise. But 20-year-old Villa academy product Grealish helped his side control the first half, in just his second league appearance this season, and thoroughly deserved his first goal. He struggled to repeat his influence after the break though as Villa were undone by a vibrant Leicester. With the Republic of Ireland and England wanting him to commit his international future to them, repeats of Sunday's first-half performance will increase the interest in the talented midfielder. Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri told BBC Sport: "It was a fantastic second half. We know they played better early on but after 2-0 we started to play with our spirit and it was a very fantastic match. "We scored a good first goal that gave confidence to everybody and maybe Villa players were wondering what could happen now." Media playback is not supported on this device Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood told BBC Sport: "I've never felt this bad. Ever. There was a lot of bad play there in the last half hour. The only way you can stop the momentum is to stop the opposition. We turned it over stupidly. "What can I say? I'm gutted for everyone who's associated with the football club. We have to stop letting in soft goals. Who cares if we played well? We lost. Totally lost."

He said 200 farmers together lost at least 1bn naira ($5.1m; £3.5m) over the past month. The price of a basket of tomatoes has increased from $1.20 less than three months ago to more than $40 today. Africa Live: BBC news updates In Nigeria, officials declare a state of emergency to indicate they are taking drastic action to deal with a problem, the BBC's Muhammad Kabir Muhammad says. In this case the state sent government agricultural officials to Kenya to meet experts on the Tomato Leaf Miner to learn how to deal with the pest. Kaduna is in the north of the country, where according to the UN most tomato production takes place, A tomato paste manufacturing business in northern Kano state owned by Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, suspended production earlier in the month due to the lack of tomatoes, reports Forbes. Tomatoes are a basic part of most Nigerians' diets and the word tomato has trended on Twitter as people discuss the rising price. One of the memes being shared is a tongue-in-cheek look at Nigerian pain over discovering the annual festival in Spain where people throw tomatoes at each other. The energy industry launched a website in September, in an effort to hand money back to three million customers who are owed it. Now they are being given a telephone number and a Freepost address to use as well. It is thought the customers are owed an average of £50 each, as a result of switching accounts. Energy UK, which represents the industry, said millions of pounds were handed back to customers when the website was launched in September. However, it said not everyone was online, so it was coming up with other ways for customers to claim. "This campaign spreads awareness and makes it easier for consumers to check whether they are owed money or not," said Lawrence Slade, the incoming chief executive of Energy UK. The campaign was welcomed by the regulator, Ofgem, although it warned the energy companies not to let the money build up again. "Suppliers must now do everything within their powers to return the money and prevent a similar situation from happening again," said Philip Cullum, consumer partner at Ofgem. "Ofgem will continue to monitor suppliers' progress and keep the need for action under review," he said. Anyone who thinks they may be owed money can call the My Energy Credit helpline on 0370 737 7770.

Mr Hartzer, who was born in America but is also an Australian citizen, is currently the head of the bank's financial services division. Ms Kelly, 58, joined Westpac in 2008 as the financial crisis was wreaking havoc on global markets. During her tenure, company revenue more than doubled from approximately A$50bn (£28bn; $44bn) to around A$104bn, Chairman Lindsay Maxsted said in a statement. "Gail leaves the group in strong shape," Ms Maxsted said. On Wednesday, Westpac's annual report showed Ms Kelly's A$12.8m annual salary made her the highest-paid banking chief in Australia. In comparison, ANZ Chief Executive Mike Smith earned A$10.7m and Commonwealth Bank Chief Executive Ian Narev earned A$8.1m. The South African-born Ms Kelly has been rated by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world. As the Australian business community pushes for more female board members and chief executives, Ms Kelly, a mother of four, is considered by some as a role model for aspiring leaders. There had been speculation Mr Hartzer would succeed Ms Kelly after he joined Westpac in 2012 following senior postings at ANZ and the Royal Bank of Scotland. Media playback is not supported on this device Jamie Walker gave the visitors a stunning and deserved lead early on, but that was cancelled out shortly after by Gary Mackay-Steven. Roberts scored with two fine strikes, one in each half, while Hearts' Juwon Oshaniwa was sent off late on. The win edges Celtic closer to the title and puts more distance between them and second-placed Aberdeen. With Tom Rogic's last-minute winner against Kilmarnock having eased some of the pressure on manager Ronny Deila, the stuttering reigning champions knew they had to build on the feel-good factor that followed the Australian's precious Rugby Park strike. The healthy home support inside Celtic Park was evidence of that and of the edge that's always attached to this fixture. But it was the small band of Hearts fans who were celebrating in the Glasgow sunshine after only six minutes. Spanish striker Juanma held off Dedryck Boyata just inside the Celtic box and slipped the ball to Jamie Walker, who smashed a shot high into top left hand corner of Craig Gordon's goal. The Celtic defence could have dealt with it better, but it was a fine strike from a player in top form. The visitors were ahead for just 10 minutes, though, and the strike to level was as impressive as the opener. Leigh Griffiths' fierce free-kick was palmed behind by Neil Alexander, but the ball broke to Mackay-Steven from the resulting corner and he lashed the ball left-footed low past the outstretched arm of the goalkeeper from just outside the box. An engrossing battle for the upper hand followed, but it was Hearts who saw more of the ball and almost took the lead when Alim Ozturk's curling 25-yard free-kick bounced off the Celtic crossbar. However, 10 minutes before the break, Roberts raised the roof with a sumptuous goal to give Ronny Deila's side the lead. Rogic's tenacity on the right hand side paid off and when he knocked the ball through to Roberts, Celtic's young Manchester City loanee delicately lobbed the ball over Alexander from eight yards. With both teams fully committed, it threatened to boil over following a clash of heads between Rogic and Oshaniwa - Griffiths and Buaben had to be separated and both had their names taken by referee Bobby Madden. Less than five minutes into the second half, the on-loan hot shot was at it again with his second and Celtic's third. Griffiths fed Stefan Johnansen deep inside the Hearts half and, when the Norwegian's flick found Roberts, the 19-year-old skipped into the box and curled the ball left footed low past Alexander. Hearts looked deflated for a spell after that and, while they continued to enjoy long periods of possession, it was Celtic's Griffiths and Callum McGregor who went closest to scoring. The visitors' misery was compounded in stoppage time when Oshaniwa was sent off for a second yellow card. Trayvon Martin was walking back from a store to his father's fiancee's house. By the end of their encounter Trayvon Martin was dead and George Zimmerman's life had changed forever. What actually happened that night has been intensely debated ever since. The 17-year-old high school junior lived in Miami. His parents divorced in 1999, and Martin lived with his mother. He had played youth football. According to a family member, Martin studied aviation through a part-time school programme, hoping to fly or become an engineer. In the week before his death he was on suspension from school for reportedly possessing a plastic bag with traces of marijuana. His father, Tracy Martin, told USA Today he hoped a short stay in Sanford, Florida, would teach his son a lesson. Martin also tweeted, changing his username at least once and writing thousands of tweets about his high school, sex and his favourite snacks. Friends and teachers at Michael D Krop Senior High described him as a "funny guy" and "very creative". Without ID on him at the time of the shooting, Martin was labelled as a "John Doe" by Sanford police and at the morgue until his father reported him missing. George Zimmerman, 29, the son of a white father and Hispanic mother, was born in Virginia and moved to Sanford in 2009 with his wife. Mr Zimmerman had asked a neighbour in Virginia for a recommendation letter to a police academy programme, but never applied. Records show he had previously worked at a car dealership and sold insurance, but what he was doing at the time of the shooting is unclear. A defence witness has said Mr Zimmerman was in the process of starting a business. He also attended a citizen's police academy with the Seminole Sheriff's Office. A spokeswoman described the once-a-week scheme that totalled 14 hours as an educational tool to teach residents about police work, not a training programme. In 2005, Mr Zimmerman was arrested for shoving a state alcohol agency officer near a bar. The charge was later dropped when he agreed to fulfil a "pre-trial diversion" programme for first-time offenders, which usually involves fines and anger management classes. Shortly after, a girlfriend took out a restraining order, following an argument where each accused the other of being the aggressor. Mr Zimmerman possessed a concealed-carry permit for a 9mm handgun. As a neighbourhood watch volunteer, he had called Sanford's police department 46 times over the previous eight years. A friend told the court he had taught Mr Zimmerman firearm safety. According to neighbours, Mr Zimmerman organised the neighbourhood watch during a rash of burglaries in the community. One neighbour said the 29-year-old had caught a thief while patrolling the neighbourhood. Zimbabwean national Patrick Gwatidzo raped his first victim, who was 21, at a flat in Glasgow on 8 September 2010. He raped a 25-year-old woman at another flat in the city on 7 December 2014. A jury rejected Gwatidzo's claims that the victims had made up lies about him. Sentence was deferred and he was remanded him in custody. Following the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Paul Arthurson QC told Gwatidzo: "You have been convicted on the basis of substantial and compelling evidence. You victims gave evidence with considerable dignity and courage. ""You can be described as an opportunist sexual predator." The court heard how the first victim felt betrayed as she had regarded Gwatidzo as "like a brother". She told the court she woke up to find him having sex with her. When interviewed by police, Gwatidzo, 31, denied raping her. He claimed she had tried to initiate sex with him, but nothing happened. His second victim also said she woke up to find Gwatidzo having sex with her. She was so distressed she grabbed her clothes, ordered a taxi and left. Advocate depute Paul Kearney, prosecuting, said: "Two women, who were completely unknown to each other, gave compelling evidence. "But each went to the police with a similar story of what the accused had done to them. "What are the odds against that. He must if what he says is true be the unluckiest man on the planet." Gwatidzo, a social care worker, claimed that both women had made up malicious lies about him, but the jury did not believe him. He will be sentenced next month. It follows newspaper claims he paid for the services of two male sex workers. He said: "It is in the best interest of the Home Affairs Select Committee that its important work can be conducted without any distractions whatsoever. "I am genuinely sorry that recent events make it impossible for this to happen if I remain chair. " At the weekend, the Sunday Mirror published pictures it said showed Mr Vaz with male sex workers in a flat in north London that he owns. Illegal drugs were mentioned during a secretly recorded conversation. Another Labour MP will now be elected to replace him, with Conservative MP Tim Loughton taking over as interim chairman. Speaking after Mr Vaz had informed committee colleagues of his intention to resign, Mr Loughton said a new chairman should be in place in October. He said Mr Vaz had given a "very frank account of what had happened" and that the committee had accepted his resignation "with sadness". Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen has said he would refer the matter to the Commons Standards commissioner and may also report Mr Vaz to police. Married father-of-two Mr Vaz said he was referring the paper's allegations to his solicitor. Keith Vaz - the 'Teflon politician' In his statement announcing his resignation from the chairman role he has held for nine years, Mr Vaz said: "The integrity of the select committee system matters to me. Those who hold others to account, must themselves be accountable. "I am immeasurably proud of the work the Committee has undertaken over the last nine years, and I am privileged to have been the longest serving Chair of this Committee. "This work has included the publication of 120 reports, hearing evidence from Ministers 113 times, and hearing from a total of 1379 witnesses. I am very pleased that so many Members of the Committee have gone onto high office and Ministerial positions. "This is my decision, and mine alone, and my first consideration has been the effect of recent events on my family." He added: "I would like to thank my fellow members of the Committee, past and present, for their tremendous support. I would also like to thank the Clerks of the House for the amazing work they have done to strengthen the Select Committee system, we are not quite on par with the United States, but we are getting there." Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who sits on the Home Affairs committee, said Mr Vaz had done a "fine job" as chairman, but said he had made the right decision in stepping down. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mr Vaz's future on the party's ruling National Executive would be discussed when it meets. He said: "He's made his decision because he felt that to carry on in the circumstances that he is now involved in would detract from the work of the Home Affairs committee and so he has made that decision for himself." Grant Broster, 56, from Guildford, was on his family's kayak on 28 March when it capsized in front of his son. Police said they were called to the area near the Waterside Centre at about 18:00 BST following reports a body had been found. Formal identification has not yet taken place. A police spokesperson said "Mr Broster's family have been notified". "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Broster at this difficult time," they said The official search for Mr Broster was called off on 5 April. The kayaker went missing near Guildford Borough Council's offices in the aftermath of Storm Katie. His son went into the water to try to help him and was eventually pulled to safety, but Mr Broster was swept away. Witnesses said the kayak had been "dragged around like a bottle very fast". The Environment Agency had issued a flood warning for river which was swollen by the heavy rain. A page set up to raise money for Surrey Search and Rescue, which helped police search for Mr Broster, has raised more than £7,000. A statement on the page said: "Grant's family particularly want to thank Surrey Police for their compassion and professionalism. "They came today to tell us that Grant's body has been found. "We hope another family benefits from Surrey Search and Rescue's services supported by your kind donations. "It gladdens us to know that from bad comes good and that we can support those who give selflessly." One officer was shot dead in San Antonio, Texas, and another was shot in the face in St Louis, Missouri, though he is expected to survive. At least two of Sunday's attacks were ambushes. Two other officers were shot elsewhere in Missouri and Florida. The attacks revived memories of deadly ambushes against police in Texas and Louisiana in July. Fifty-seven US law enforcement officers have been fatally shot this year, a 68% percent increase from the same period in 2015. Detective Benjamin Marconi, 50, had been with the force for two decades. He was writing out a traffic ticket when he was fatally shot in his car on Sunday morning. The brazen attack, by another driver who pulled up from behind, happened outside police headquarters, authorities said. Police are searching for a male suspect, whose motive was unclear. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said he does not suspect the gunman knew the original motorist who was pulled over. Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the killing a "horrific act of violence". A St Louis police sergeant is in a critical condition after he was shot twice as he sat in traffic in a marked police vehicle at about 19:30 on Sunday. "This officer was driving down the road and was ambushed by an individual who pointed a gun at him from inside of his car and shot out the police officer's window," Police Chief Sam Dotson told a news conference. The unidentified officer is a 46-year-old, married father-of-three who has been with the department for about 20 years. The suspect was killed in a shootout with police. A Gladstone, Missouri, police department officer was also shot near Kansas City. Authorities said the police officer suffered non-life threatening injuries during an exchange of fire with a suspect who fled during a traffic stop. The suspect was fatally shot. In Sanibel, Florida, one policeman was targeted by a drive-by attacker at around 20:00 on Sunday as he sat in his patrol car after a routine traffic stop. The officer was treated for his injuries and released; a suspect was later shot and taken into custody. The attacks came less than five months after a gunman killed five officers in Dallas, Texas, in the deadliest day for US law enforcement since the 9/11 attacks. A few days after the Dallas attack, three police officers were ambushed and killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Earlier this month, two officers in the Des Moines, Iowa, area were shot dead in ambushes as they sat in their patrol cars. Mark Evans is retracing the same route across the Rub Al Khali, also known as the "Empty Quarter", taken by Bristol pioneer Bertram Thomas in 1930. The 54-year-old Shropshire-born explorer is leading a three-man team to walk the 800 mile (1,300 km) journey from Salalah, Oman to Doha, Qatar. The trek is expected to take 60 days. The Rub Al Khali desert is considered one of the hottest, driest and most inhospitable places on earth. Nearly two decades after Thomas completed his trek, British explorer and writer Sir Wilfred Thesiger crossed the Empty Quarter - mapping it in detail along the way. 60 days To cross the Rub' Al Khali desert * From Salalah in Oman to Doha, Qatar * Walking with camels for 1,300km * Area nearly three times the size of the UK Completed by explorer Bertram Thomas in 1930 Bertram Thomas, who hailed from Pill, near Bristol, received telegrams of congratulation from both King George V and Sultan Taimur, then ruler of Oman. He went on to lecture all over the world about the journey and to write a book called Arabia Felix. Unlike Mr Evans, Thomas did not obtain permission for his expedition. He said: "The biggest challenges for Thomas were warring tribes, lack of water in the waterholes and his total dependence on his Omani companion Sheikh Saleh to negotiate their way through the desert. "The biggest challenge for those who wanted to make the crossing in recent decades has been obtaining government permissions to walk through this desolate and unknown territory." Stephen Maguire has said the tables were "not good enough", while Ding Junhui was furious with the multiple table set-up after his first-round defeat against Adam Duffy. World number eight Hawkins lost 6-3 to Robin Hull in the second round. "The conditions were just unplayable," Hawkins told BBC Sport. "It was a load of old rubbish performance-wise, but I had no confidence in the table. I think we should set fire to the lot of them to be honest." World Snooker says atmospheric conditions will affect the way the tables play and that it is aware of players' concerns and is looking into ways to address the situation, including new cloth. Maguire, ranked 15, said he had "no confidence" where the ball would go after bouncing off a cushion. And London-born, Kent-based Hawkins was in total agreement with the Scot. "I didn't want to use the cushion or roll balls along the cushion," he said. "I was getting kicks every shot. It's so disappointing because they normally play nice here. "We never used to have tables playing like this and they are getting worse, so I don't know what's happened." The 2013 World Championship finalist added: "I am glad lots of other people have said the same as me so it doesn't look like sour grapes. I am just saying it like it is. I didn't enjoy that whatsoever. "I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why they play so bad because they used to play lovely all the time. "There must be a reason why they keep bouncing off the cushions like they are and the kicks are ridiculous." Mr Pulma, a former policeman dressed elegantly in a slightly worn jacket and wearing a black hat, recalls the days when he was growing up in rural Bolivia: "I lived at the farm at which my parents worked and the owner threatened that if I went to school, he'd cut my tongue out." But now things are different for Mr Pulma. "These days, I can study and prove to people that I'm capable of doing anything," he says. Mr Pulma is one of 39 elderly students in a literacy group in El Alto, Bolivia's second largest city. Their group is part of the "Yes, I can" adult literacy campaign which was launched in Bolivia 10 years ago. Most of the students are women over the age of 50 from a poor, rural background. Officials say that it is thanks to the "Yes, I can" programme that illiteracy rates dropped from 13.28% in 2001 to 3.8% in 2014, when the last census was conducted. This means that Bolivia is now among the countries considered to have eradicated illiteracy by Unesco's standards, which requires countries to maintain a rate of illiteracy of below 4%. Bolivia's left-wing President, Evo Morales, had made eradicating illiteracy one of his main priorities when he came to office in 2006. In order to achieve it, he turned to ideological allies Cuba and Venezuela for help. Cuba helped with teachers and teaching materials and Venezuela provided financial assistance. As the Bolivian government found the results to be positive at a relatively low cost of 18m bolivianos per year (£2m; $2.6m), it decided to go ahead with the second phase of the literacy programme, called "Yes, I can carry on". In this second phase, the students who have spent three to six months learning to read and write spend another two years further deepening their knowledge of maths and literacy and the basics of natural sciences. "Yes, I can" was originally developed in Cuba by educator Leonela Relys and relies on local facilitators to go into the communities to teach literacy with the help of audio visual aids. The teacher is at the heart of the programme. Keyla Guzman Velez is one of them. She lives with her husband and three-year-old son Josue next to Rodriguez market, the largest food market in La Paz. Ms Guzman noticed that many of the women who spent long days working at the market could neither read nor write, never mind do simple maths. She set out to teach them basic literacy but soon found that they were not willing to attend classes after work. As most of the women started at 05:00 and did not finish before 19:00, there was just not enough time, they said. Nor were they willing to leave their stalls where they just about made a living for any length of time. Ms Guzman says she realised she would have to adapt to their needs if she were to succeed. "You have to understand these women's routine. They get up at dawn, they often have to leave their children behind at home, then they work all day and when they get home they still have to do the housework." So Ms Guzman asked each one of the women what would be the best time to stop by their stall and did a daily round of the market with a small whiteboard. One of the women she teaches is Paulina Flores, 49. "I've worked since I was eight years old," she explains. "My parents died when I was only a child and I had to go out and work hard every day until now." "I only got a chance to study thanks to our teacher, who came to where we were," she adds. The programme takes dedication. Students have to practise reading daily, as well as writing and doing simple sums. In the "Yes, I can continue" course, students learn to understand longer texts and construct complex sentences as well as multiply and divide. They are also taught basic geography, history and biology. But Ms Flores says for her it is all worth it as she now hopes to be able to realise her childhood dream of going to university to study physiotherapy. The House of Representatives launched a probe in July last year to see if some goods were more expensive in Australia than in other parts of the world. Consumer bodies have often complained that Australians are overcharged. The firms have previously made written submissions to the committee but have so far declined to appear in person. They are now scheduled to appear before the committee on 22 March. The Australian newspaper quoted Ed Husic, a member of parliament, as saying that according to some estimates the price of some of goods in Australia were as much as 60% higher than in the US. "Given the widespread use of IT across businesses and the community, the prices paid for hardware and software can have a major commercial and economic impact," the politician was quoted as saying. "Getting downward movement on IT prices and easing the bite of price discrimination should be an important micro-economic priority - so I'm looking forward to hearing from these firms about their pricing approaches," he added. The Scotland stand-off has not featured for Warriors since suffering a bad head injury in last season's Guinness Pro12 semi-final defeat at Connacht in May. However, he featured for former club Ayr against Hawick last week and is set to face Ulster on Friday. "He has really relished being involved with the contact side of it in the last couple of weeks," said Townsend. "We're delighted and it's a testament to the work of our medics and also Finn's dedication and confidence coming back into training. "He got a real test last week down at Hawick - he had to make some tackles, he carried the ball and his match fitness was tested and he handled it really well. "You want to know you have gone through the right processes to get you back in a brilliant position. "We've made sure Finn's had all the time to make that full recovery but you've also got to drive it yourself. "Finn was always a player who loved the contact side of the game, a very good tackling 10, he loves to carry ball too so he has not shied away from that. "He's full of confidence. It's a huge test to play against Ulster but we believe he is more than ready for it. "To have Finn back now means we can attack this game with a player who we believe will be playing most games for us at 10 this season." In Russell's absence, the versatile Peter Horne - normally an inside centre - played the first two Pro12 games at 10, with Rory Clegg starting in last week's narrow defeat at Cardiff Blues. Russell's return is all the more timely since Horne injured his hand in the Welsh capital and is now facing a six-week lay-off. "Peter showed his toughness and bravery last week," added Townsend. "I think he thought he'd just dislocated his finger and so he carried on. "He was probably due a rest, it's just disappointing that the rest is going to take a number of weeks. He's a great leader, a great team man. He is looking at our next opponents, Dragons, so he is going to be heavily involved. "If there is any player who can come back before the stated date, it's Peter. He will want that hand fixed." Grosjean is 13th on 18 points with Magnussen one place back on 11 points. Haas - whose team are in their second season in F1 - says keeping the same drivers "is a given" and that his team "should be better racers" in 2018. "Next year, without a car or engine change and the same drivers, that will give us a continuity boost," he said. Frenchman Grosjean joined Haas in their debut season in 2016, with Denmark's Magnussen replacing Mexican driver Esteban Gutierrez for the 2017 season. Grosjean recorded Haas' highest finish this season when he came sixth in Austria earlier this month. He scored all 29 of Haas' points last season but after the midway point of the 2016 campaign he only collected a single point, from his 10th place in the United States. Owner Haas believes both Grosjean and Magnussen are capable of taking more points this season. "If we can score another 29 points by Abu Dhabi, that would be a great position," said Haas. "It can't get worse that in the second half of 2016." The Formula 1 circus now moves to Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix from 28-30 July. He said he thought the hit to the economy if Britain votes to leave on Thursday might be worse than forecast. As campaigning resumes after a break following the killing of MP Jo Cox, Mr Osborne told ITV: "Brexit may be for the very rich but it is not for the working people of this country." Vote Leave said the UK could deal with "whatever the world throws at us". With just four days to go before Britain votes on whether to remain in the EU, the opinion polls suggest the referendum will be close, with many voters still undecided. UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the Leave campaign may still be on course for victory but that the death of Mrs Cox, who was killed in her West Yorkshire constituency on Thursday, had affected the campaign. "We did have momentum until this terrible tragedy," he told Robert Peston, adding that "when you take on the establishment you need to have momentum". Mr Osborne and David Cameron have both sought to get voters to focus on the economic risks of leaving. Mr Cameron, who is due to appear in a BBC Question Time special on BBC One at 18:45 BST, warned voters in a Sunday Telegraph article that there would be "no turning back" if Britain votes to leave on Thursday and it could lead to "debilitating" economic uncertainty for up to a decade. The PM said the economy "hangs in the balance", with trade and investment set to suffer in the event of a vote for Leave and a "probable recession" that would leave Britain "permanently poorer". He said voters faced a choice between "Nigel Farage's vision - one which takes Britain backwards; divides rather than unites" and a "tolerant, liberal Britain; a country that doesn't blame its problems on other groups of people; one that doesn't pine for the past, but looks to the future with hope, optimism and confidence". George Osborne echoed this message in his Peston on Sunday interview on ITV, saying: "There is no turning back. It is a one-way door to a much more uncertain world, where people's jobs and livelihoods are at risk." He claimed working people would be hit hardest, adding: "British people can't take their money out of Britain. Brexit may be for the very rich but it is not for the working people of this country who will be paying the price for many years to come." How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU. And he hit back at claims he had exaggerated the economic impact of a Leave vote. "The central estimate is that our GDP would be 5% to 6% smaller. Personally I think it's possible that it would be quite a lot worse than that. "You can't predict the enormous uncertainty that exiting the EU means for Britain. The trade deals that are suddenly torn up, the fact that we have no product regulation in our country." He also rejected Vote Leave's claims that the only way to meet the government's target of reducing net migration to below 100,000 a year would be to leave the EU. "I've seen absolutely no evidence that migration levels would fall, indeed most of the solutions, or so-called solutions, put forward by the other side in this debate could actually see migration levels increase." Vote Leave's Michael Gove acknowledged that while there were risks in leaving the EU, it would be an opportunity for the UK to establish itself as a "progressive beacon to the world". "I wouldn't use the word gamble. Whether we vote to leave or remain there are risks to our future, there are challenges in the global economy," the justice secretary told the BBC's Andrew Marr. "My view is that those challenges will be easier to meet, those risks will be less if we vote to leave because we will have control of the economic levers, we will have control over money we send to the European Union, we will have control over our own laws, and as a result we will be able to deal with whatever the world throws at us," he said. "What it would be would be an affirmation of faith and hope in Britain. Britain would be taking its place alongside countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand and America as a self-governing democracy. "We would be saying that the British people in their wisdom and in their generosity have the ability not just to govern themselves well but to be a progressive beacon to the world." On immigration, Mr Gove said: "I am pro-migration but I believe that the way in which we secure public support for the continued benefits that migration brings and the way in which we support public support for helping refugees in need is if people feel that they can control the numbers overall coming here." Fellow Leave campaigner Boris Johnson also stated his "pro-immigration" stance in a speech at a rally in London, adding that he would "go further" and allow people in the country illegally to remain if they met certain criteria. He said: "I am in favour of an amnesty for illegal immigrants who have been here for more than 12 years, unable to contribute to this economy, unable to pay taxes, unable to take proper part in society. "And I will tell you why; because it is the humane thing to do. It is the economically rationally thing do to. "And it means taking back control of a system that is at the moment completely out of control." The structure ran aground at Dalmore, near Carloway on Lewis, in August while being towed from Norway to Turkey Over the past month it has been removed from Dalmore beach and towed to Broad Bay, Lewis. The semi-submersible ship Hawk is close by, ready for the rig to be floated on to its deck. Once in place on the ship, Transocean Winner will be taken to Turkey to be scrapped. Relatively calm weather is needed for the operation to move the rig to the Hawk. In anticipation of an improvement in weather conditions, work has started on raising four of the eight anchors holding the rig in the bay. Later, the remaining four are to be raised in a similar operation, expected to last about 12 hours. The structure would remain attached to tugs. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said: "The Hawk will begin to ballast down - which means it will be submerged - ready to receive the rig. "A temporary exclusion zone of 1,000m will be put in place during the ballasting process on the Hawk until such time the rig is secured. "The rig will then be towed across to the Hawk using guide points before deballasting - allowing the vessel to come up slowly under the Transocean Winner. "It's intended that all this work will take place in daylight tomorrow to monitor any potential pollution but could continue on Saturday morning if necessary. "Pollution counter measures are in place and an MCA surveillance aircraft will overfly the area during this operation." Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative For Maritime Salvage and Intervention added: "Our intention all the way along has been to get this operation under way without endangering life or the environment around. "All the preparation work has been done in anticipation of this moment so that we could be ready when the time comes as it now has." The Frenchman, 29, will complete the move when he returns from spending some time in his homeland. Nade scored three goals as Dundee won the Scottish Championship last season but was then released by the Dens Park club. As well as having a spell with Sheffield United, he has also played in Cyprus and Thailand. Championship Raith recently signed goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert and midfielder Martin Scott. Officials say an unknown number of homes have been destroyed and a firefighter has been injured in the state of Victoria. Some residents have been ordered to leave and flames have spread to the outer suburbs of Australia's second biggest city, Melbourne. Conditions in Victoria are at their worst since 2009, authorities said. Then, wildfires killed 173 people and destroyed about 2,000 homes in a disaster dubbed Black Saturday. Belle Nolan, Warrandyte, Victoria, Australia I live in Warrandyte in Victoria State with my fiance, Ryan - one of the worst affected areas. There's no co-ordinated evacuation, but we all have a bushfire emergency alert on our phones. We got an alert of a fast moving bushfire in the area, and were then told we had to evacuate. There was smoke, ash and embers everywhere. The police were already closing the roads. We got out just in time before another alert telling us it was now too late to leave. It's now 12 hours since we left and we're heading back. We have been told the fire is contained but not over, so we're not quite sure what we're going back to. We know that three houses have been destroyed and 25 acres of land destroyed. We do get a lot of alerts and some people are very complacent and say they will stay no matter what. But there is only one road out of town, so if there is a problem you do need to be on it. Emergency crews are also fighting blazes in South Australia and New South Wales. Cooler weather should help the massive firefighting effort, says the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney, although strong, gusty winds continue to fan the flames. More than 70 fires are burning across Victoria and 15 emergency warnings are in effect, with up-to-date local information available on the Vic Emergency website. Hundreds of firefighters and dozens of fire engines are battling the blazes. Fire authorities are worried about the threat posed to the coal-fired 1,600-megawatt Hazlewood Power Station in Latrobe Valley, local media reported. Homes have been lost in the Melbourne suburbs of Warrandyte and Mickleham, and in Gisborne some 50km (30 miles) north-west of the city. Victoria Premier Denis Napthine said help was available for anyone impacted by the wildfires. "The Victorian government has an assistance package in place that will be rolled out immediately for those people who have lost their homes," Dr Napthine said. The suspect rode into a Co-Op on Streatham Road on 6 September, stole a crate of Lucozade, and rode out again. Omaree Lindsay of Cecil Road, Croydon, was charged with theft, failure to comply with a court order and driving a vehicle on the pavement. He was bailed to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court later this month. The 35-year-old defender worked with Rodgers at Liverpool. "He is a top manager," enthused the Ivory Coast international. "For me, he is one of the best. "He did a great job at Swansea then he came to Liverpool, did a great job again, and I am sure he will do a great job here." Having signed a one-year deal on Sunday, Toure, who has also played for Arsenal and Manchester City, is not in Celtic's travelling party for the Champions League trip to Kazakhstan ahead of the first leg of a third-round qualifier against Astana. "I'm fit," he said. "But of course I have just joined the team and I need time to be ready. "I can't tell you when but I am ready right now in my mind and I will give everything I have got every day to be able to help my team-mates. "I just joined the club and there are players who have been working really hard for two months. The manager is the best guy to make the decision. For me, I stick to anything the manager says because every decision he makes is for the good of the team. "I will be with them in my heart, I will pray for them as well. Definitely we'll do it." Toure played in the 2006 Champions League final with Arsenal and assistant manager Chris Davies believes the arrival of such an "inspirational" player will be a valuable asset on and off the field. "He's a top defender with real authority and experience," said Davies. "We are not only getting a really good player but someone who can inspire players around them to help the team. "He has been working with a personal trainer so it is an important week physically for him and we will see how it goes." Rodgers' right-hand man would not be drawn on attempts to sign Scott Sinclair from Aston Villa. The clubs have been in negotiations about the winger's transfer but no agreement has been reached on a fee. "It would obviously be disrespectful for us talk about a player who belongs to another club," Davies said. "The club are working behind the scenes to bring players in who will make a difference. It has got to be the right deal and right players. We are focusing on the players who are playing." Toure and Sinclair were team-mates at Manchester City and the new arrival talked highly of the transfer target. "I haven't spoken to him but he is a really good player - a top professional," said Toure of the 27-year-old. "I think he is going to be a good player for the club, because attitude-wise he is very good as well." The event, known as a relaxed concert, was held at St David's Hall in Cardiff. It will be repeated during the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall on 29 July. The concert was designed to create a friendly, inviting environment with a relaxed attitude to music and noise from the audience. Students from Ysgol Ty Coch in Tonteg near Pontypridd took part, alongside BBC NOW's professional musicians. Sign language interpretation was provided from the stage, while chill-out areas in the auditorium were available for people to take a break from the orchestra. Conductor Grant Llewellyn, who is regularly involved in the orchestra's outreach and education work, said: "It's been a real labour of love, a mission, to try and cultivate a repertoire and a language of communication and presentation for our audiences that incorporates this wonderful world. "Not just for kids, but people with special needs who respond to music intuitively and instinctively, without any of the inhibitions which we learn. "It's just so invigorating, it's so liberating. And I can't speak for the players - but I will - I think they learn a tremendous amount. "I certainly have learnt about the nature of direct communication, and entertainment, and just unadulterated fun through music." Music was chosen for audiences who would not normally attend a classical concert and included popular works by classical composers, as well as the music from Doctor Who. Andy Pidcock, who leads many of BBC NOW's outreach sessions in schools, said it was a "special moment" for the Ysgol Ty Coch pupils. "A lot of them don't have much spoken vocabulary, so music is such a very natural way of expressing yourself. "In the sessions we actually have very little spoken language, we just use our instruments together and we create pieces with very little vocabulary. "So music is the real language, and it's very nice to see that work in practice." When the concert is repeated at the Royal Albert Hall it will be the first relaxed prom to be staged at the summer series of concerts. The tree was cut down in Rochford, Essex early on Sunday, on the eve of a festive lights switch on. District councillor Heather Glynn praised the town's "amazing community spirit" after people responded to a social media appeal to put it back up. Police said the boy, from Rochford, was due to appear at Southend Youth Court on 17 December. Three Ligoniel Orange Order lodges marched past the Ardoyne shops in north Belfast early on Saturday morning. Loyalists have now dismantled their protest camp at Twaddell Avenue. It was set up in July 2013 after the Parades Commission ruled that Orangemen could not walk along the route. 600 police officers were involved in Saturday's security operation. The Orange Order was allowed to march along the route after an agreement between Orangemen and nationalist residents' association, the Crumlin Ardoyne Residents Association (CARA). The Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, said Saturday's parade sent a "strong signal that dialogue can work". "It provides a platform of co-operation on which all involved will be able to build," he added. Several dozen protesters from the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective (GARC), who reject the deal, gathered at the Ardoyne shops as the parade got underway. At one point, Belfast priest, Fr Gary Donegan, who backed the deal that led to the parade taking place, was confronted by a small crowd of angry protesters. They accused him of taking sides with Sinn Féin and the Orange Order against a majority of residents. In response, Fr Donegan said: "The reality is, if I have to take a bit of stick for standing up for what I believe is the right decision, then I have always taken it in the neck. "This was never going to be a situation where everybody was going to be happy or content, but if it means that the people who were actually parading got by and it's over, and we have a new beginning, then it's well and good." "Nobody has cowered me before and nobody will do it again," added Fr Donegan. The protesters also chanted "walk of shame", but dispersed peacefully after the march passed. GARC also held protest against the parade on Friday evening which passed off without incident. More than 200 people took part.

Joedyn Luben told Cardiff Crown Court his seized safe contained life savings. He faced no police action after the raid and said a cheque to return the cash was £30,000 less than the total. Former Det Sgt Stephen Phillips, 47, of Swansea, Det Cons Christopher Evans, 38, of Llangennech, and Michael Stokes, 35, from Glynneath, deny theft. Law student Mr Luben said one of the defendants asked him for the security code for his safe during a search of his home on 1 April 2011. An officer then relayed the combination to colleagues raiding his mother's home across the street in Penlan, Swansea. He heard beeps over the police radio indicating the attempt was successful before an officer shouted: "Yes, we're in," the court heard. Mr Luben, whose home was searched as part of a drugs investigation, denied the money was the proceeds of crime, claiming he had been saving since he was 16. The safe, and another from his house, was seized, but when police contacted him to return the amount in a cheque weeks later, it was "about £30,000" less than what had been inside. He told the court: "I made it very clear I was unhappy with the money reflected on the cheque." Mr Phillips is accused of four counts of theft while Mr Evans and Mr Stokes both face two charges. The case continues. A coroner is due to start hearing evidence at the fresh inquest of Pte Cheryl James on 1 February. Pte James, 18, from Llangollen, Denbighshire, died at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey in November 1995. Her father Des James, from Llanymynech, Powys, said he would approach the hearing with an "open mind". "I don't have a result in mind. I just want the truth," he said. "If it is a suicide verdict, as long as we answer the questions - what created that environment? How did it happen? - then that's fine." Pte James, who was found dead with a gunshot to the head, was one of four soldiers who died at the barracks between 1995 and 2002 amid claims of bullying and abuse. The new inquest was granted by the High Court in 2014 after the open verdict recorded at the original inquest in December 1995 was quashed. Speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales programme ahead of the fresh hearing, Mr James said: "There's no wrong verdict for me in this. "As long as the process is impeccable, as long as I can look back and say everything we could do, we've done, that's the important thing." More than 100 people are due to give evidence when the inquest begins in Woking, Surrey. That number could rise if the coroner overrules Ministry of Defence objections and allows a request from Mr James' legal team to call former Deepcut recruits to testify about the alleged wider culture of bullying and abuse at the camp. "My view is that these witnesses give credence to the culture that I believe pervaded that camp," he said. "Therefore they should be valid in an inquest court because… the Ministry of Defence deny there was a cultural issue. "Surely to prove there was a cultural issue we have to have these people allowed to speak." A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Private Cheryl James. "The inquest will now be a matter for the coroner, but we will of course continue to cooperate with and provide support to the coroner where needed." Potentially, the change will affect nearly eight million people. There is cross-party support for the theory behind the benefit, but its delivery has been delayed and criticised. Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith says the new benefit is £600m under budget and is being carefully rolled out "stage-by-stage" - with the aim of being offered in all job centres by 2016. So how will the changes eventually affect you? The overhaul of the welfare system has been driven by Mr Duncan Smith, who argues that too many people are trapped on benefits. He says the changes are designed to make work pay - instead of people seeing their income drop when they move off benefits and into low-paid work. The move is also a bid to simplify the system by merging a string of working-age benefits and tax credits into one single payment, called universal credit. This is supposed to reduce the amount of fraud and error that hits the benefits system amounting to billions of pounds a year. Six working-age benefits will be merged into one. So, 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 universal credit payment. This will mean big changes to the way those benefits are paid at the moment. Universal credit will be paid once a month, rather than fortnightly or weekly, and will go directly into a bank account. If both you and your partner each receive these benefits, then this will change to a single payment for the household. In addition, if you receive help in paying your rent at present, this money goes directly to your landlord. Under universal credit, you will receive the money as part of your benefit payment and you will then have to pay your landlord. Yes. Mr Duncan Smith says that this - and monthly payments - are much more aligned with how people receive wages, so it is preparing people for the world of work. An online system will be used to make an initial claim, and then to check payments and to organise budgets. Yes, it is all online. If you do not have access to the internet then you will have to go to the local library, although your local council and jobcentre may be able to help you. This online system is one of the big question marks over the shift to universal credit. Questions are being asked about whether the IT system is able to cope with millions of claims once the system is fully up and running. The National Audit Office said that IT glitches had already affected the national introduction of the scheme. Its report, published in September 2013, said there were "early setbacks" and that the Department for Work and Pensions had "weak control of the programme, and had been unable to assess the value of the systems it spent over £300m to develop". Two months later, the Commons Public Accounts Committee said the implementation of universal credit had been "extraordinarily poor", with much of the £425m expenditure to then likely to be written off. It said that oversight of the universal credit scheme had been "alarmingly weak", warning signs were missed, and there was a "fortress culture" among officials. Ministers said there was new leadership in place and controls had been strengthened. Employers are going to have to keep the UK tax authority fully up-to-date with staff earnings through a computer system called real time information. This will be used to assess how much people are being paid, and so how much universal credit they are entitled to. Previously, an agency worker may have worked for fewer than 16 hours one week, and so been able to sign on. The following week they may work more than 16 hours and receive no jobseeker's allowance, then have to make a fresh claim if they fall below the 16 hours the week after that. Under universal credit, their benefit should be altered automatically as earnings go up and down - a change it is hoped will be beneficial. In monetary terms, the government estimates 3.1 million households will be entitled to more benefits as a result of universal credit, while 2.8 million households will be entitled to less. Nobody will lose out during the initial transition assuming their circumstances stayed the same, the government says. Across all households, ministers have said there will be an average gain of £16 per month. In its initial estimate of the new system, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said that the poorest are likely to do better, especially couples with children. However, the second earner in a family is likely to lose out in the long-term in many cases. Some charities argue that, because of a broad-brush approach that universal credit takes, those with more complex benefit claims may lose out, such as some people with disabilities who go to work. Those without a bank account, or who do not have internet access, will have to seek advice to prepare for the new way this benefit is run and paid. Labour says that it welcomes the principle behind the changes but it has raised concerns about the implementation of the scheme. Some unions have also spoken out, with the Unite union claiming it creates a division between a "deserving" and an "undeserving poor" - a division that it does not recognise. The changes started on a very limited basis in April 2013 with new claimants, who are single, who live in a small number of postcode areas in Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside, Greater Manchester. Trials in three more areas - Oldham, Wigan and Warrington - were due to start at the same time, but were delayed. However, they were completed in April 2014. The government aims to see universal credit - phased in across England, Scotland and Wales from February 2015 - offered in some way by all job centres in Britain by the spring of 2016. More claimants will gradually move on to universal credit as and when they have a significant change of circumstances, such as starting a new job or when a child is born. Then by the end of 2017, the rest of all those eligible in England, Scotland and Wales will be moved on to universal credit, although Mr Duncan Smith has suggested that deadline may be missed. The Northern Ireland Assembly has also agreed to introduce universal credit. No, there have been a whole host of benefits changes, ranging from a cap on the amount of benefits than can be claimed, to changes in the way housing benefit and disability allowances are calculated. You can read more about all of these in our in-depth section on benefits and tax credits.

CareFirst, which operates in several US states, is the third such company to fall victim to hackers. The breach took place in June last year but was only recently discovered. It follows similar attacks at Blue Cross, which had 11 million customer records stolen, and Anthem, which lost 80 million records. The CareFirst database accessed included member names, birth dates, email addresses and identification numbers. It did not include social security numbers, medical claims, employment , credit card or financial information, the company said. "We deeply regret the concern this attack may cause," CareFirst chief executive Chet Burrell said. "We are making sure those affected understand the extent of the attack - and what information was and was not affected." CareFirst has 3.4 million customers and operates in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. In February, Anthem - America's second largest health insurer - revealed that it had been the victim of a "very sophisticated external cyber-attack" in which data of millions of its customers had been stolen. Investigators looking into the breach told US newspapers the methods used in it resembled earlier attacks blamed on China, an accusation denied by the Chinese authorities. Neil Masterson, of Campden Hill, Notting Hill, denies assaulting the Respect MP for Bradford West while Mr Galloway was posing for pictures in nearby Golborne Road on Friday. The MP is believed to have sustained broken ribs and bruises to his head. Mr Masterson appeared at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court and denied religiously aggravated assault. Residents reported seeing jets fly over the city and hearing explosions. The government said it did not have any "convincing indications to establish which side was behind this". The country has been by gripped by fighting between rival militias that spearheaded the 2011 uprising against long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi. The violence has been centred around the international airport in Tripoli and in the eastern city of Benghazi. On Monday, several Libyan TV channels said planes had targeted bases of militiamen from Misrata who have been battling brigades from the western Zintan region to gain control of Tripoli. Reuters news agency quotes forces loyal to renegade General Khalifa Haftar as saying they were behind what they termed air strikes "on some militias' locations belonging to Misrata militias". The group's claim could not be independently verified. General Haftar was loyal to Gaddafi before joining rebel groups to oust him in 2011. Several hundred people are believed to have died in July and August in an upsurge of unrest. Thousands have fled their homes to escape the violence. More than three years after Gaddafi was overthrown and killed, Libya's police and army remain weak in comparison with the militias who control large parts of the country. The south coast club laid on a fleet of coaches to transport fans to Manchester for the second time in three days ahead of the 20:00 BST kick off. Sunday's game was postponed due to a fake bomb left in a stadium toilet. Fans said many people were unable to attend the re-arranged game due to work and family commitments. There were plenty of empty seats. Bournemouth fan Steve Baxter said: "I came with 14 on Sunday but I'm the only one here." But others such as self-employed Stephen Large and Gary Hickson decided to make one more trip. "I have been to every game this season and I'm not going to miss this one," he said. Mr Hickson added; "When we evacuated the stadium I left my programme on the seat and want to go back for another one." The men said their 12-year-old sons had not been able to make the trip. Man Utd fan Moses Kamara, from Sierra Leone, whose dream trip to watch United on Sunday was ruined, paid tribute to the fans who have helped him watch the rematch. "I am so happy, I have had an incredible day," he said. The fan, whose 3,000 mile (4,800km) trip ended in tears initially, has been looked after by the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST), which provided accommodation and raised funds for the flight home. "They have treated me so well," he said. Before that match he was taken round the club museum and also made a pilgrimage to the grave of legendary former United boss Sir Matt Busby. "It was awesome to go the grave of such a great man," he said. Brian Dodd, from Christchurch, said: "I work nights... I've had to beg my firm to let me have last night and tonight off. It's cost me a lot of money and a lot of aggravation." Fan Andrew Hardy was not keen to make a second 10-hour car journey in 48 hours and had tried to sell his tickets on a fans' message board. "I changed my mind when I was put in touch with three lads who offered to pay petrol if they could get a lift to the match - it meant I could cover my costs and help some other fans." One group of fans cycled 300 miles from Bournemouth to Old Trafford for Sunday's fixture, raising more than £3,000 for Dorset Cancer Care. Cyclist David Jones called the cancellation a "disappointing end to an amazing few days". The match on Tuesday finished with United beating Bournemouth 3-1. The device which prompted Sunday's match to be postponed turned out to be a dummy bomb left behind after a security exercise. Chris Reid, managing director of Security Search Management & Solutions Ltd (SSMS) - the firm that left the device - has since apologised for making a "devastating mistake". The 26-year-old came through the club's academy and has scored 16 tries in 135 appearances for Quins since making his first-team debut in 2009. "My decision to renew was a quick and easy one," uncapped Englishman Wallace told the club website. "Harlequins is all I've known during my career and I can't imagine being anywhere else." Quins have not disclosed the length of Wallace's new deal at The Stoop. The 12-time world champion had initially stated that giving cyclists seven weeks to prepare for the event in Los Angeles was a "joke". Three-time Paralympic champion Aileen McGlynn, with pilot Louise Haston, is selected for the first time since 2012. "We're confident we can bring home many medals," said coach Jon Norfolk. "We are pleased to welcome a number of new faces to the team." One of those is Matt Rotherham who will be a pilot for James Ball in the visually impaired tandem events. Alison Patrick, a silver medallist in Rio in Para-triathlon, also makes her debut alongside experienced pilot Helen Scott. This year's championships also serve as the qualification event for the tandem events for visually impaired riders for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Great Britain Cycling Team for 2017 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships: Jody Cundy, Jon Gildea, Lora Fachie (piloted by Hazel Smith), Aileen McGlynn (piloted by Louise Haston), Alison Patrick (piloted by Helen Scott), Sophie Thornhill (piloted by Corrine Hall), James Ball (piloted by Matt Rotherham), Neil Fachie (piloted by Craig Maclean) Luke Jenkins, seven, of Cardiff, was expected to make a recovery after surgery at Bristol Children's Hospital. A report said he was moved from intensive care 24 hours after the operation because of "increasing demand" on beds in the department. Later, ward staff did not "fully consider" why bleeding had increased. The report, put together by an investigative team at University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, said "the workload and patient dependency is recognised as being significant" in Luke's death. When he collapsed on his ward, junior staff did not know where a vital piece of resuscitation equipment was kept. The report added the lack of knowledge had "caused a delay" but it was "minor and would not have affected the outcome". Luke was born with a congenital heart defect and had already had two of three corrective operations before undergoing the third. Following Luke's operation he was moved from the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) on 31 March. "Due to the demands on PICU capacity, patients are more likely to be discharged from PICU at an earlier post-operative phase," the report said. It added that a longer stay in PICU would have been "beneficial". But afterwards, staff on the new ward failed to consider fully what might be causing a significant blood loss and growing chest pain or to respond to his worsening condition. Luke was frequently triggering alarms on his monitoring equipment and his family witnessed those alarms being reset at a lower threshold by nursing staff Luke collapsed on 6 April with "minimal cardiac output" and a "large volume of fluid" was found on his right chest. He suffered cardiac arrest on Good Friday and the duty surgeon was called to operate. His heart stopped for 43 minutes before he was resuscitated, after which he underwent exploratory surgery. He died early the next day. The report said a risk assessment which had previously been carried out identified "low and unsafe nurse staffing for a cardiac high dependency unit". According to the report, there have been eight separate patient safety incidents on the ward since January, two of those sparking "high-risk" investigations, linked to low staffing levels. Additionally, Luke's parent's repeatedly asked for him to be moved back to the intensive care ward but this did not take place. Luke's parents, Stephen Jenkins, 30, and wife Faye, 27, of St Mellons, Cardiff, south Wales, said other such incidents should be made public by the trust. "There have been eight other incidents since January 2012. They cannot tell us who the people were but that should be made public," Mr Jenkins said. Deborah Lee, acting chief executive for University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, said she extended her "deepest sympathy" to Luke's family and said the incident was "rigorously investigated". "Incidents do occur in a complex specialty such as paediatric cardiac services where we are caring for some of the sickest children in the region," she said. "Each incident, no matter how minor it may appear, is recorded, rigorously investigated and actions taken forward as part of our clinical governance process. "We have a nursing establishment for every ward which is benchmarked against Royal College of Nursing guidance and we review the dependency and number of patients we are caring for on a daily basis." An inquest at Avon Coroner's Court into Luke's death has been opened and adjourned to a later date. Samuel McCuaig, 58, who is originally from North Lanarkshire but had been living in Devon, England, committed the offences between 1974 and 1979. He was convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of raping the nine-year-old girl at a house in Coatbridge in 1976. Jailing McCuaig for eight years, judge Lord Armstrong said his crimes were of a "particularly grievous nature". The court heard that McCuaig had carried out the abuse on the girls over a period of several years in Coatbridge. His defence QC Derek Ogg said his client had grown up in a "dysfunctional permissive environment" and continued to maintain his innocence. However, McCuaig was convicted of raping the nine-year-old girl - a cousin of his other three victims - on one occasion during a 12-month period from February 1976. He was also found guilty of indecently assaulting a teenage girl at a house in Coatbridge between 1975 and 1978. He was further convicted of attempting to rape the teenager's nine-year-old sister during the same incident. McCuaig was acquitted of two charges of raping the older girl prior to April 1974, when she was aged between 13 and 15, after the jury returned not proven verdicts. Lord Armstrong said: "Three of your victims were aged between seven and 10 when you abused them. The fourth girl was 16. These offences are of a particularly grievous nature. "According to the background report prepared, you lack insight into the impact of your actions on the victims and display little if any remorse." It was a welcome richly deserved for a team that had weighed down the plane with more medals than any British contingent had amassed since 1988. Many athletes immediately showed the speed that had earned them such rich rewards, rushing into the arms of their family and friends. One of the first to arrive was rower Rachel Morris, from Surrey, who won gold in the single sculls just three years after taking up the sport. Morris, who has complex regional pain syndrome, had previously won a gold medal in hand cycling in Beijing 2008, but changed discipline to set herself a new challenge. She was greeted by her father, Carey Morris, who arrived wearing a T-shirt with the words 'Row, Rachel, Row' on the front. With a tear in her eye, Morris, 37, proudly showed her father her gold medal. Speaking of the waiting crowd, she said: "People had said how much support we had and it's been incredible to see it. "It's been absolutely incredible - the experience. The whole Games and the way it's been done, and being part of Paralympics GB and having our best result, that has been amazing." Mr Morris said his daughter would be looking forward to walking their dog Wispa, a chocolate Labrador, now she was back home. He added: "She didn't say much at first but it was all in the eyes. "We had a big hug and then I held the medal. It's a very special moment." The athletes brought the party atmosphere of Rio back to the UK as they flew in on a British Airways flight which was decorated with a gold nose and carried the name "victoRIOus". There were chants of "Team GB" as the athletes made their way past the crowd to meet their friends and family . One of the biggest cheers was when double gold medallist Kadeena Cox, 25, came through the door. Her family had travelled to the airport to greet the world record breaker, who is the first Paralympian for 28 years to win medals in two sports at the same games. Cox, from Leeds, said: "I was so overwhelmed. I was like: 'As if people are doing this for me.' It's crazy. "I feel like I need some down time, a moment to myself, to realise what I've achieved out there. "I just wanted to do something special and make other people realise that you can still do things after a diagnosis like mine and it's not a death sentence." Cox, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis two years ago, said her condition meant she was unable to say whether she planned to make it to the next Paralympics in Tokyo in 2020. But she added: "Next year we have the athletics World Championships in London and I'm hoping to be there and do something special there." Her mother Jasmin Williams said: "I'm very excited to have her back British side, to show her our appreciation and to get her to recover and to get to feed her up a bit. She's not had home cooking since she's been out there." Many of the athletes appeared surprised at the turnout and the way they were repeatedly stopped by supporters eager to pass on their congratulations. David Weir, who was devastated to miss his son's birth as well as missing out on track medals at the Games, was greeted by his four children at the airport - including newborn Lenny. After the whirlwind of Rio, many of the athletes had not given too much thought to Tokyo. Instead they were focused on enjoying a well-deserved break with loved ones. Anne Dickins, 49, who won gold in the para-canoeing, said: "In the short term I'm looking forward to planning my wedding as my other half proposed last year." Dickins, a former endurance mountain biker, started canoeing in 2012 after a back injury left her with nerve damage in her legs. Inspired to take up the sport after volunteering as a games maker at London 2012, she said: "We are also hoping to get a tandem so we can do some riding together. It's been pretty lonely being on your own in a boat so we are hoping to do that next year. "But never say never for Tokyo." Gold medallist Emma Wiggs, 36, from Derbyshire, is already thinking about getting back to training. The five-time world champion won gold in the KL2 para-canoeing, four years after winning bronze in the sitting volleyball at London 2012. She plans to celebrate her success with a belated honeymoon to California with wife Gemma after the couple delayed the trip for a year so Emma could focus on training. Gemma said: "We see it as a massive honour to be a part of her journey. In 2010 she went to a British Paralympic Association talent ID day and her journey started there. "It's not without its challenges. It's a rollercoaster ride supporting an athlete, but we've been luckily enough with the support we've got behind her and the talent that she has got that we are able to share in that success." Wiggs, who lost the use of her legs due to a mystery virus, has not ruled out representing Great Britain at the next Paralympics. "I want to make this boat go even faster so I'm going to hopefully have a lie in at some point, have a bit of time off and go on honeymoon, and then to be honest I can't wait to go back training," she said. "Tokyo looks like they are going to put on a great show. I just want to keep doing what I'm doing for as long as I can, and as long as I can make the boat go faster and I'm part of a team that is truly world class I don't want to let that go." Former leader and MP Caroline Lucas is standing on a job-share ticket with Jonathan Bartley. Other candidates in the running include Simon Cross, Clive Lord, David Malone, Martie Warin and David Williams. A new deputy leadership and executive are also being elected, with the outcome due at the autumn conference. The contest will not include Natalie Bennett, who has decided to step down as leader after four years at the helm of the party. Ms Bennett said in May that she would not be standing for re-election when her second two-year term in office expires in the summer, but that she would remain "fully engaged" in the party. The ballot to elect her successor will be open for one month, until 25 August. Elections are also taking place for half of the party's national executive committee as well as the deputy leadership. All paid-up party members are eligible to vote in the contest, the results of which will be unveiled at the party's autumn conference in Birmingham between 2 and 4 September. Zsolt Suhaj, of Nelson, Lancashire was convicted of a string of offences involving breaking into women's homes, including the rape of a 66-year-old. Sentencing the 26-year-old at Burnley Crown Court, Judge Sara Dodd said Suhaj had to serve a minimum of 11 years. She spoke of Suhaj's "sordid and depraved actions" and the "chilling and terrifying experience" for the women. His trial heard how he targeted homes in the Colne and Nelson areas of Lancashire, entering through insecure windows and doors during the early hours. Between May and October last year, he broke into the homes of at least seven different women, in most cases making his way to their bedroom where he sexually assaulted them, jurors heard. Other victims woke up to find Suhaj staring at them as they slept, the court was told. In his final attack, Suhaj climbed through a window at 04:15 and accosted the victim as she returned to her bedroom after getting up for a drink. He grabbed her around the mouth and raped her. During the assault, he stroked her face and told her not to tell the police, the court heard. A small knife belonging to Suhaj was found next to the victim's bed. Judge Dodd said he was "clearly dangerous" and his "predatory sexual behaviour" had escalated in a sinister manner. Suhaj's claim the woman he raped had consented was "a spurious and unpleasant attack on an entirely blameless woman" and was further evidence of his intentions to "humiliate" her, the judge said. The victim said she still could not believe what had happened to her and could no longer live in a bungalow, while every noise "puts me on edge". In a personal statement read in court, she said: "I am scared of going into the other room. Scared that somebody will be in there. I don't know if this feeling will ever go away." Suhaj's sexual assault victim said he had put her through the "horrific ordeal" of being forced to relive the attack in court. "Not only did he violate my home but he violated my body," she said. "I will never be the same person. The defendant tore out the heart of my home and me too." Proceedings at the sentencing hearing were delayed as he screamed threats to kill from his cell. He was later carried out of the dock in handcuffs by four officers. Suhaj, who has lived in Nelson since January 2016, previously lived in Canada, where he was convicted of similar offences five years ago. The Hungarian national was convicted of rape, sexual assault, trespassing with intent to commit a sexual offence at five homes and attempting to trespass with intent at another home. Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli are being examined over "the accuracy of certain past tax filings by them as individuals in respect of foreign-owned companies", it said in a statement. The inquiry comes after Prada disclosed it was bringing its holding company back to Italy from Luxembourg in 2013. The alleged tax evasion stems from the 10 years they were based in Luxembourg. "Neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries was or is involved in this matter," Prada chairman Carlo Mazzi said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, where the company is listed. The luxury fashion house has seen weak sales in Asia and Europe this year, which led to a 21% drop in first-half profit. Prada shares fell by nearly 2% on Monday. They have lost about 30% of their value this year. This is not the first time Italian tax authorities have targeted high-profile brands. Last year fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, also known as Dolce & Gabbana, were investigated. The baby, named Gito by the team from International Animal Rescue, was so lifeless when found they thought he was dead. He was being kept as a pet in the village of Merawa, about 100 miles from the charity's centre in Ketapang. The team said Gito's mother had almost certainly been killed before he was stolen and sold for less than £20. Kept in a urine-soaked cardboard box and fed entirely on condensed milk, he was severely dehydrated and malnourished. He was suffering from a lack of hair and grey flaking skin due to sarcoptic mange, a highly contagious skin disease. The charity's Alan Knight said forest fires devastating Indonesia were leaving wild orangutans without food or shelter. "Those that escape being burnt alive are left exposed, under threat of starving or being killed or captured by humans. "It's hard to stomach the shocking state Gito was in. He is in safe hands now but tragically there are many more like him in desperate need of our help," he said. Mr Lee, who was 91, led Singapore's transformation from a small port city to one of the wealthiest nations in the world. World leaders have paid tribute to Mr Lee, who served as the city-state's prime minister for 31 years. US President Barack Obama described him as a "giant of history" whose advice had been sought by other world leaders. Chinese President Xi Jinping said Mr Lee was a widely respected strategist and statesman, and Russian President Vladimir Putin described him as one of the "patriarchs" of world politics. The period of national mourning will culminate in a state funeral next Sunday and Mr Lee's body is to lie in state at parliament from Wednesday to Saturday. A private family wake is taking place on Monday and Tuesday. News of Mr Lee's death came in a government statement that said he had "passed away peacefully" in the early hours of Monday at Singapore General Hospital. Mr Lee had been in hospital for several weeks with pneumonia and was on life support. State television broke away from its normal schedules and broadcast rolling tributes. As evening fell, many Singaporeans were continuing to arrive at the Istana, the compound housing the president's official residence and the prime minister's office, where a book of condolence has been placed. Earlier, some chanted "Mr Lee, Mr Lee" as a hearse carrying the former leader's body arrived at the compound. An area has also been set aside outside the hospital for flowers and other tributes. "I'm so sad. He is my idol. He's been so good to me, my family and everyone," said resident Lua Su Yean, 64. "His biggest achievement is that from zero he's built up today's Singapore." Books of condolence have also been opened at all Singapore's overseas missions. In an emotional televised address, Mr Lee's son, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, paid tribute to him. "He fought for our independence, built a nation where there was none, and made us proud to be Singaporeans. We won't see another man like him," he said. Singapore's Foreign Minister, K Shanmugam, told the BBC's Newsday programme that Mr Lee was "George Washington and Churchill combined for Singaporeans". "There is deep sense of loss, a deep sense of grief," he said. Business in bustling Singapore carried on as normal. At the stock exchange, the normal stream of market prices displayed on a bank of screens instead read: Remembering Lee Kuan Yew, 16 September 1923 to 23 March 2015. Lee Kuan Yew - widely known as LKY - oversaw Singapore's independence from Britain and separation from Malaysia and co-founded the People's Action Party (PAP), which has governed Singapore since 1959. I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today (National Day Rally in 1986) In quotes: Lee Kuan Yew Mr Lee set about creating a highly educated work force fluent in English, and reached out to foreign investors to turn Singapore into a manufacturing hub. He embarked on a programme of slum clearance, industrialisation and tackling corruption. He was a fierce advocate of a multi-racial Singapore. However, Mr Lee also introduced tight controls, and one of his legacies was a clampdown on the press - tight restrictions that remain in place today. Dissent - and political opponents - were ruthlessly quashed. Today, PAP remains firmly in control. There are currently six opposition lawmakers in parliament. Other measures, such as corporal punishment, a ban on chewing gum and the government's foray into matchmaking for Singapore's brightest - to create smarter babies - led to perceptions of excessive state interference. Mr Lee criticised what he saw as the overly liberal approach of the US and the West, saying it had "come at the expense of orderly society". The victims were all Portuguese passengers on the minibus, which was travelling from Switzerland to Portugal, officials say. The driver of the minibus and the two Italian drivers of the lorry survived, they add. The collision took place just before midnight near the village of Montbeugny, in the Allier department. Reports say the minibus swerved into the path of oncoming traffic, but the reason was not clear. One of those killed was a seven-year-old girl. Emergency services closed the road after the accident and a nearby village hall was used as a temporary mortuary. The crash happened on a stretch of road said by locals to be notorious for accidents. Twelve weeks of work has begun at Bournemouth's Horseshoe Common - a so-called "shared space scheme". The authority said it was not clear whether the problem was a result of the materials but it would be reusing the blocks in an area of lighter traffic. It said the scheme, aimed at improving safety, had otherwise been successful. The council initially said a 40% increase in the number of buses using the road since the £1.04m scheme was implemented had contributed to its decline. However, it later issued a joint statement with operator Yellow Buses, saying there had been "confusion surrounding the number of bus vehicles", there had been no increase in services and the authority did not blame the bus company. A council statement said: "Regardless of the number of buses, we can see that the road surface has deteriorated much quicker than expected and needs to be rectified... we do not yet know if it is a result of the materials, the workmanship or the specification." The singer told a crowd at the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday night that she was praying for the women's freedom. She briefly wore a balaclava - in a nod to Pussy Riot's trademark outfits - and had the group's name on her back. Prosecutors have called for the women, who are accused of inciting religious hatred, to be jailed for three years. The judge is expected to start delivering her verdict on 17 August. Announcing the verdict could take days, correspondents say. Maria Alyokhina, 24, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29, played a song attacking Russian leader Vladimir Putin in front of the altar of Moscow's main cathedral on 21 February. They said it was a reaction to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, publicly backing Mr Putin in elections. Addressing cheering fans at the stadium, Madonna said: "I know there are many sides to every story, and I mean no disrespect to the church or the government, but I think that these three girls - Masha, Katya, Nadya - I think that they have done something courageous." By Daniel SandfordBBC News, Moscow This was true courtroom drama. The three women were supposed to be making their final pleas to the judge, but instead they made intensely political speeches from their glass cage, reading from handwritten notes. Beside the cage there were six prison guards, and a large rottweiler dog. The women compared their fate to that of the famous dissidents of the Soviet era. In response, spontaneous applause broke out on the benches where the public and press were sitting, prompting the judge to warn: "This is not a theatre." This may seem a trivial case, but it has exposed the faultlines in Russia. It has highlighted the links between Vladimir Putin's government, the security services, and the church. It has renewed the deep resentment that other parts of society feel about that new political order. And it has further undermined a legal system which seems to be bent to the will of those with power and money. "I know that everyone in this auditorium, if you are here as my fan, feels they have the right to be free," she said. Other international musicians including Sting and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have also appealed for leniency. Artist Yoko Ono has spoken out in support of the band. In a Twitter post, John Lennon's widow said: "Mr Putin you are a wise man & dont need to fight with musicians & their friends." In a closing statement to the court on Wednesday, Pussy Riot's lead singer, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, said the court was carrying out a Stalin-era "political order for repression". She said that the authorities had refused to listen to the group, and that it was "not a trial over Pussy Riot but of the entire Russian political system". The three women have been sitting inside a glass cage at the courtroom. Last week, Mr Putin, who was re-elected president in March, called for leniency towards the women during a visit to London for the Olympic Games. There are fears among Russian opposition activists that the trial is part of a crackdown on dissent since Mr Putin's return to the Kremlin, following the biggest anti-government protests in recent Russian history. Pussy Riot's performance inside Christ the Saviour Cathedral was captured on video. The women danced and sang a song which parodies a Christian prayer, imploring the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Mr Putin. Defence lawyer Mark Feygin argued on Tuesday that the case against the women did not stand up because they had been charged with hooliganism under Article 213 of the Russian penal code yet no violence or damage had occurred or been threatened. There was "a disproportionate amount of mayhem in cyber-space" coming from the country, he told the BBC. Mr Hannigan urged people to "push back" against the behaviour of the Russian state, adding some form of cyber-retaliation may be necessary in future. Sanctions could also be imposed to highlight the Russian state's current activity was unacceptable, he added. "Of course not everything is run by the Russian state," Mr Hannigan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "There is an overlap of crime and state, and a deeply corrupt system that allows crime to flourish, but the Russian state could do a lot to stop that and it could certainly rein in its own state activity." Mr Hannigan praised French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel for "calling out" Russian state activity. "I think starting to talk about it is good. Macron himself said in front of Putin, at a press conference, in a very striking way, that this was unacceptable," he said. Russia's cyber-operations became a major issue during Robert Hannigan's' time running GCHQ. Russian cyber-espionage has been going on for years, but recently Western intelligence agencies watched with alarm as hackers operating out of Russia appeared willing to take more aggressive and risky actions. One sign of that was the takedown of the French TV5 Monde channel, made to look like the work of hackers related to the so-called Islamic State but traced to Russia. This left British spies wondering whether Moscow had been testing out its disruptive capability. GCHQ was also the first to spot signs that Russia had penetrated the Democratic Party in the US, and it informed authorities in Washington. But as Russian operations seemed to become more brazen, the questions have grown over how best to respond and deter such activities. And that process has been complicated by the controversy in Washington surrounding the investigation of possible links between the US President Donald Trump's election campaign and Russia. If you come from a disadvantaged background then your exam results depend on where you live. Disadvantaged pupils are usually defined as those who are on free school meals or who have experience of foster care. In too many rural schools your education will be significantly worse than if you went to school in central Birmingham. Actually, for a hidden crisis it's one that crops up quite a lot when I talk to people who work in education. it just doesn't seem to be an issue that's seen as a major national problem. So we wanted to try and do some research and actually comb through the pages of school statistics from Ofsted to see just how big this gap between town and country is. The results shocked me. Our statistics show 45% of disadvantaged pupils obtain five GCSE's, including English and Maths, in Birmingham. In Worcestershire that falls to 35%, Gloucestershire 34%, Shropshire just 32%. When I talked to Lorna Fitzjohn from Ofsted she said: "Shropshire is one of the worst performing local authorities in the country for the performance of disadvantaged children." This is a problem specific to pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. When we looked at the exam results for the pupils from non-disadvantaged backgrounds we found the situation reversed. Rural schools do slightly better than Birmingham and in general are above the national average for exam results. If rural schools did the same job as urban schools when educating disadvantaged children you'd change thousands of lives. I've spent the past few months investigating this gap and trying to find out what the problem is. Rural schools do face difficulties that inner city schools do not. In education today there's a huge emphasis on sharing best practice peer-to-peer for example and that's hard to do if your nearest school is 15 miles away. It's also a question of numbers. A school in the centre of Birmingham might have 50% of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. These pupils get plenty of focus because they will have a large impact on the school's results. There are fewer disadvantaged pupils in rural schools so it's all too easy for them to drift through their education before leaving at the earliest opportunity. And since there are fewer of them a school's results are pretty much unaffected by how they do in exams. I visited one rural school praised by Ofsted for rapidly closing this gap between the disadvantaged children and the rest of the pupils. The Community College in Bishop's Castle in Shropshire is a school where everyone works together to do the very best for all pupils. On "Aspiration Friday" the timetable is thrown out and pupils are given the chance to explore all sorts of activities from sport and drama to interior design and horse riding. Headteacher Alan Doust explained to me this is one of many initiatives to help pupils "look beyond the hills". It's an approach that involves teachers, support staff, parents and the wider community. It benefits all the kids but it's really good for the disadvantaged pupils. It boosts aspiration, attainment and exam results. So closing this gap is something rural schools can achieve but even a good school like The Community College is reaching the limit of what it can do. Rural schools get a thinner slice of the funding pie than their urban counterparts. As a country we have been focused on improving the lot of disadvantaged pupils in inner city schools, especially in London. That's worked but it has come at a cost. Disadvantaged pupils in the rest of the country have been largely forgotten about. As I said at the start these pupils and their problems form a hidden crisis. Slipping through the school system and disappearing at the first opportunity. A fairer share of funding would certainly help, but the first step is to shine some light on this issue in the first place. Published polls were putting them level-pegging with the Conservatives and private polling didn't put them all that far behind. A year on, and the Labour Party is under very different leadership - and has a very different membership. Many joined in the wake of the worse-than-expected defeat. While Labour's vote hasn't collapsed, the party is now consistently polling behind the Conservatives. The enthusiasm shown by new members - and supporters who could join for £3 and vote in the leadership election - doesn't yet seem to be shared by the wider electorate. The former Labour pollster James Morris - from transatlantic political strategists Greenberg Quinlan Rosner - told the World at One that only one in 20 voters even realises that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn opposes austerity and four out of five non-voters aren't clear what he stands for either. The New Year will begin with rumours of a shadow cabinet reshuffle as the uneasy truce between supporters of Mr Corbyn and those to his right - under pressure since the split in the parliamentary party over Syria - appears to be on the verge of breaking down. Lord Glasman was an adviser to the former leader Ed Miliband - though increasingly his advice wasn't being followed. An advocate of community politics and mutual self-reliance rather than an overweening state, he coined the term "Blue Labour". These days some of Mr Corbyn's supporters see Lord Glasman as a "Red Tory". He isn't a huge fan of the new system which allowed those to Labour's left a cut-price route into the party and a right to choose Ed Miliband's successor, describing it as a mistake of biblical proportions. "Never has a birthright been sold more cheaply since Esau than the £3 leadership offer," he says. But he too is critical of some of those who led the party to defeat this year: "The people who succeeded Blair and Brown seemed like appointees - a bit like school prefects or head boys [and] head girls who had behaved very well. "There was a void of leadership." Nonetheless, while he shares the analysis of some of those on the left of Labour's past mistakes, he doesn't endorse their solutions. "Although Corbyn is right to draw attention to the fact that the new Labour project had become moribund and listless and to the long-term defection of working class voters from Labour - under Blair, Brown and Ed Miliband - Corbyn doesn't address that. "It looks likely there'll be a further disaffection of traditional Labour voters and the losing of voters to UKIP - but the incredible loss of voters to Conservatives in the general election is not being addressed by the present leadership." Emma Reynolds was a special adviser when Labour was in power and a shadow minister under Ed Miliband. She isn't impressed with the argument made by some of those close to Mr Corbyn that he has an overwhelming mandate to lead the party - so now it's up to everyone else to fall into line. MPs have their own mandate from the electorate and many Labour politicians were elected on a platform which Mr Corbyn doesn't share - from renewing the nuclear deterrent to imposing a benefits cap, she believes. And she thinks Momentum - the organisation set up to keep the spirit of the Corbyn leadership campaign alive - isn't entirely a force for good, with some of her colleagues who didn't vote for the current leader fearing they will be ousted. "They have been organising meetings where there has been open discussion about deselecting Labour MPs," she says. "I think that Labour Members of Parliament should be able to air different views without feeling somehow that their job is on the line. We must expel party members who intimidate other party members. We must make sure that there is no room for that kind of behaviour in our party." Those close to Mr Corbyn - including the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell - insist they do not plan to change the rules to make the deselection of Labour MPs easier and say there are no plans for a mass purge. New MP Kate Osamor is a parliamentary aide to the Labour leader and she insists that the left of the party doesn't have a monopoly on purges. She recounts that the party leadership of Neil Kinnock deemed her mother Martha unfit to contest the selection for the safe Labour seat of Vauxhall in south London at a by-election a quarter of a century ago. "My mum was an activist in Tottenham - for a Nigerian woman as an immigrant to get that far was amazing. "I saw my mum stand for what she believed in and she was basically told we don't want people like you, you're too radical. "When I hear about deselection now I just think 'God, what my mum went through'." She is now calling for unity around her new leader. "What people in the party need to start doing is watching what the Conservatives do. There are many people in the Conservative Party who are not behind their leader but you would never know that because they stay loyal to the party. "There are people going to newspapers, social media, you've got to think about the damage to the party and the people joining. "New joiners are more loyal to us than we've ever had - we should respect the fact that 60% voted for Jeremy and use that as our mandate. "It can't just be a fluke, there must be something in it." But as Mr Corbyn rebelled more than 500 times against the last Labour government she might find that many of her parliamentary colleagues are impervious to her appeals. That said, he rebelled from the backbenches. So it remains to be seen if that is where he will soon consign his critics - including shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn. At a recent press reception, Mr Corbyn made no secret of the fact that many in his parliamentary party hadn't come to terms with his leadership. But he was far from the humourless caricature that voters read about in some papers. He was quite honest in saying he hadn't exactly fought to be the left candidate for his party leadership and joked that having to address a gathering of Westminster hacks was "my worst nightmare. And yours". Many of his MPs too seem to believe that all this is a bad dream from which they are yet to wake up. Next year it will become clear if Labour is able to take the political battle to the Conservatives or will descend into further in-fighting. Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has announced plans to get Britain more active, while also promoting good governance and safety. Sport England, the agency responsible for grassroots sport, will now share its £1bn budget more widely. As part of the plan, the Premier League will double its grassroots investment. Having announced her intention to "rip up" the old strategy, Crouch has spent the past four months consulting all relevant bodies. "Sport has an incredible power to do social good and that is what our new strategy is all about," she said. "We will invest in sport and physical activity that shows how it can have a positive impact on people's lives, how it brings communities together, while ensuring it continues to make a significant contribution to the economy too." Crouch voiced her displeasure with the status quo after data from Sport England suggested that the growth in participation that followed London's successful bid to stage the 2012 Games was stalling, particularly in England. Almost six out of 10 adults were playing no sport in a typical week. More recent data, released last week, painted a slightly better picture but the overall impression was that a decade-long attempt to push teenagers and lapsed athletes into formal sport had gone as far as it could. Under the old strategy, Sport England was sharing a huge chunk of its budget with each sport's national governing body (NGB), based on agreed plans to boost participation among the over-14s. Crouch now wants that investment to start at five years of age and is asking Sport England to back successful projects run by charities and organisations outside the traditional NGB structure. The main beneficiaries of this are likely to be Access Sport, Greenhouse Sports, parkrun, Sported, StreetGames and Street League - not-for-profit bodies that have enjoyed great success in getting young people more active despite little NGB support. Schemes will also be supported if they have educational, economic and societal benefits, with money ring-fenced for projects targeted at the disabled, disadvantaged communities and pensioners. The impact of these programmes will be gauged in a new way, with the much maligned Active People Survey being replaced by Active Lives - a wider survey that will also measure activities such as dance, rambling and cycling to work. These strategic changes will only apply in England but the sports councils from the other home nations are subject to Crouch's plan to promote better governance with a new code that all bodies in receipt of public funds will have to implement by 2017. Among other UK-wide plans are more co-operation between government, the sports councils, NGBs and UK Sport - the agency that funds elite sport - in bidding for world-class events. Former Paralympian Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, meanwhile, will head a working party that will look at ways to make sport safer in the wake of concerns about concussions and cardiac arrests. "We want to maintain Britain's reputation as one of the leading nations in the world for putting on major sporting events, while making sure we are the best in the world on good governance too," said Crouch. Shadow Sports Minister Clive Efford said the measures were exactly what the opposition has been asking government to do for five years. "I am delighted that government thinking has finally arrived in the 21st century," said Efford, who also voiced concerns about sport's ability to pay for such a broad spectrum of programmes. "We have wasted five years going backwards because this government attacked the very foundations on which a coherent sport strategy should have been built." The new strategy comes after a good month for British sport, which had been worried about the possibility of cuts to its government funding in last month's comprehensive spending review. Chancellor George Osborne promised to maintain the existing levels of support for the elite and grassroots sectors. Emma Boggis, chief executive of the Sport and Recreation Alliance - the umbrella group for NGBs, welcomed the new strategy. She said the government and sport were in agreement the "good work" already being done needed to be more "joined up" and "effectively measured". Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore said the new strategy recognised the league's efforts to invest in community sports and he had agreed to increase that investment to at least £100m over the next three years, providing the current Ofcom investigation into Premier League rights approves the next set of TV deals. The surprise leaders have 13 top-flight matches left to play, having already been knocked out of both domestic cups. Pellegrini's side could play 27 times as they challenge for four trophies. "Going forward, Leicester have an advantage," he said. "But I don't think that will be the only thing they need from now to the end of the season." Leicester are five points clear of second-placed Tottenham following Saturday's 3-1 win over Pellegrini's team at Etihad Stadium. The Blues have dropped to fourth but are still chasing success in the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. Their ambitions have been hampered by a fixture pile-up and a host of injury problems, with David Silva hurting his ankle against Leicester. "We have seven players injured at the moment in the same positions - two centre-backs, Vincent Kompany and Eliaquim Mangala - and in attack - Kevin de Bruyne, Jesus Navas, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri and now Silva," said Pellegrini. "That makes it more difficult. Let's hope we can recover." Pellegrini's side host second-placed Spurs on Sunday - a key day in the title race as Leicester also travel to third-placed Arsenal. Former Arsenal, Leicester and England defender Martin Keown: "Apart from after one round of midweek Premier League games in March, Leicester will almost always have a full week between each fixture between now and the end of the season. "That's something I don't think will suit them. "They have just beaten Liverpool and won at Manchester City in the space of five days and I think the quick succession of games really helped them. "They look like a team of high-energy players - we see that in their games - so Claudio Ranieri is going to have to gear training towards their fixture schedule - to keep them relaxed but ready to go at the right times." Media playback is not supported on this device The Real Madrid forward missed June's draw in Serbia after receiving his second booking of the campaign against the Republic of Ireland in March. And 16-year-old Ethan Ampadu is also in Chris Coleman's squad for the first time after his move to Chelsea. Ampadu played 13 times for Exeter City last season and made his debut at 15. Wales host Austria on 2 September and travel to Moldova three days later. Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen is included and he will be available for the second fixture following his one-match suspension for picking up a second yellow card against Serbia. Wales will also have left-back Neil Taylor available against Moldova, as the game against Austria will be his second of a two-match ban. The Aston Villa player was suspended for his tackle on the Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman, which left the Everton player with a broken leg. Despite still being without a club and not having played a pre-season match, Joe Ledley is included in Coleman's squad, with the manager hinting he will start. "I am absolutely flabbergasted Joe is not with a club. He's obviously had offers," Coleman said of the midfielder. "We'll get him as fit as we possibly can in the short space of time we have got him. "If he can make it I will tell you right now he will start even though he has not played since Serbia. "He's been incredible for us. Anything we have done over the last three or four years he has been a big part of. "I can't believe he is without a club but football is all about opinions. He is a good player and great character." Elsewhere in the squad, Barnsley goalkeeper Adam Davies is picked in preference to Owain Fon Williams. Austria have named two new caps for their trip to Cardiff. Wales boss Coleman says the return of Real Madrid forward Bale is a huge boost, but that he has no discussed with the player rumours linking him with a return to the Premier League. "It is nice to have Gareth back. He is available to start games. Is he at 100 per cent where he could be? We will see but it's nice to get back," he said. "You work all your life to get to the top so where do you go from Real Madrid. There is nowhere better. There maybe one or two clubs around them but nowhere better. "I have not spoken to him about all the rumours. I don't envisage there being any problem with Real Madrid because they have always been fantastic." Coleman also hinted he could be prepared to select 16-year old Ampadu. The teenager trained with Wales in Portugal earlier this year but was only able to do so as he was on school half term. "He is a quality player. We included him in the summer in a big party in Portugal," Coleman said. "He would have been in the 23 for Serbia but he had to return home because he had exams. "He is capable of being with the full 23. He is an excellent young player with a fantastic attitude. "He is not a player I would put in just to say this is a taste because we may need to call upon him. "If we have to call upon him he will be fine." Wales: Wayne Hennessey, Danny Ward, Adam Davies, Ben Davies, James Chester, Neil Taylor, Chris Gunter, Jazz Richards, James Collins, Tom Lockyer, Ashley Williams, Ethan Ampadu, Joe Allen, David Edwards, Andy King, Lee Evans, Joe Ledley, Aaron Ramsey, Jonathan Williams, Gareth Bale, Marley Watkins, Hal Robson-Kanu, Sam Vokes, Tom Lawrence, Ben Woodburn Posh hit the front through Leo Da Silva Lopes' first league goal in the 13th minute, but the teenage prospect then conceded the penalty that gave Rovers a golden chance to level 10 minutes later. However, Posh keeper Luke McGee denied Ellis Harrison and his side soon doubled their lead when Marcus Maddison lifted the ball over Joe Lumley in the 30th minute. Posh further extended their advantage in the 56th minute when a Da Silva Lopes cross-shot squirmed through the legs of Lumley before Craig Mackail-Smith coolly finished after classily bringing down an exquisite Maddison pass seven minutes later. Rovers halved their arrears thanks to two late goals from substitute Rory Gaffney. He fired a low shot past McGee with six minutes to go before drilling in from an angle in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

It warns that if someone contracts gonorrhoea, it is now much harder to treat, and in some cases impossible. The sexually transmitted infection is rapidly developing resistance to antibiotics. Experts said the situation was "fairly grim" with few new drugs on the horizon. About 78 million people pick up the STI each year and it can cause infertility. The World Health Organization analysed data from 77 countries which showed gonorrhoea's resistance to antibiotics was widespread. Dr Teodora Wi, from the WHO, said there had even been three cases - in Japan, France and Spain - where the infection was completely untreatable. She said: "Gonorrhoea is a very smart bug, every time you introduce a new class of antibiotics to treat gonorrhoea, the bug becomes resistant." Worryingly, the vast majority of gonorrhoea infections are in poor countries where resistance is harder to detect. "These cases may just be the tip of the iceberg," she added. Gonorrhoea can infect the genitals, rectum and throat, but it is the last that is most concerning health officials. Dr Wi said antibiotics could lead to bacteria in the back of the throat, including relatives of gonorrhoea, developing resistance. She said: "When you use antibiotics to treat infections like a normal sore throat, this mixes with the Neisseria species in your throat and this results in resistance." Thrusting gonorrhoea bacteria into this environment through oral sex can lead to super-gonorrhoea. "In the US, resistance [to an antibiotic] came from men having sex with men because of pharyngeal infection," she added. A decline in condom use, which had soared because of fears of HIV/Aids, is thought to help the infection spread. The disease is caused by the bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoea. The infection is spread by unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex. Symptoms can include a thick green or yellow discharge from sexual organs, pain when urinating and bleeding between periods. However, of those infected, about one in 10 heterosexual men and more than three-quarters of women, and gay men, have no easily recognisable symptoms. Untreated infection can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and can be passed on to a child during pregnancy. The World Health Organization is calling on countries to monitor the spread of resistant gonorrhoea and to invest in new drugs. Dr Manica Balasegaram, from the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership, said: "The situation is fairly grim. "There are only three drug candidates in the entire drug [development] pipeline and no guarantee any will make it out." But ultimately, the WHO said vaccines would be needed to stop gonorrhoea. Prof Richard Stabler, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: "Ever since the introduction of penicillin, hailed as a reliable and quick cure, gonorrhoea has developed resistance to all therapeutic antibiotics. "In the past 15 years therapy has had to change three times following increasing rates of resistance worldwide. "We are now at a point where we are using the drugs of last resort, but there are worrying signs as treatment failure due to resistant strains has been documented." Follow James on Twitter. It's hard to say if more people around the world are having more oral sex than they used to, as there isn't much reliable global data available. Data from the UK and US show it's very common, and has been for years, including among teenagers. The UK's first National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, carried out in 1990-1991, found 69.7% of men and 65.6% of women had given oral sex to, or received it from, a partner of the opposite sex in the previous year. By the time of the second survey during 1999-2001, this had increased to 77.9% for men and 76.8% for women, but hasn't changed much since. A national survey in the US, meanwhile, has found about two-thirds of 15-24 year olds have ever had oral sex. Dr Mark Lawton from the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV said people with gonorrhoea in the throat would be unlikely to realise it and thus be more likely to pass it on via oral sex. He recognises that while condoms would reduce the risk of transmission, many people wouldn't want to use them. "My message would be to get tested so at least if you've got it you know about it," Dr Lawton said.

Two men were arrested hours after the incident on Saturday and police say one of them has confessed. Police say a gang raped the tourist and beat up her boyfriend, also a foreign national, forcing them to withdraw money from cash machines. Rio hosts the football World Cup next year and the Olympics in 2016. Curbing violence is a major priority for city authorities. Police say the gang has been operating in Rio for several months and that other victims have come forward since the incident. Earlier, police named the first two suspects arrested as Jonathan Foudakis de Souza, 20, and Wallace Aparecido de Souza Silva, 22. They later arrested a third man named as Carlos Armando Costa dos Santos, 21. Police said the couple boarded the minibus in the neighbourhood of Copacabana. It is believed that the driver and two others made other passengers leave the minibus before attacking the two tourists on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, police said. The woman was repeatedly raped and her boyfriend was handcuffed and badly beaten. The couple were dumped in the nearby city of Itaborai after being forced to use their credit cards to buy goods and withdraw money from cash machines, the police report says. Police chief Alexandre Braga said detectives had used the bank receipts and transactions to track down the route the gang had taken. "We identified the places and sent out teams of police where we obtained even more information about the suspects' physical characteristics and then a little while after their identity," he said. Robberies are common on buses in Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian cities but the violence and audacity of the latest attack has shocked local media.

Police in Brazil have arrested a third man accused of robbing and raping a foreign tourist on a minibus in Rio de Janeiro.

It comes at the end of a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, the first of its kind for a decade. The two sides agreed to avoid any acts that complicate their dispute in the sea where they have competing claims. Relations with Vietnam and other neighbours have been strained by China's moves to assert control by reclaiming land on disputed reefs. China's placement of an oil rig in waters contested by Vietnam last year sparked angry anti-Beijing protests across the country. China later moved the rig away. In a speech to Vietnam's National Assembly on Friday Mr Xi said the two countries were good socialist neighbours which should be able to survive any disruptions in relations. "We are willing to carry on with the good tradition of learning from each other, supporting each other, working together for the development of our two countries' socialism and the happiness of our people," he said. This is the first time a Chinese president has visited Vietnam in 10 years. The last time was Hu Jintao in 2005. Mr Xi's visit comes amid rising tension in the South China Sea, especially after the US navy began patrolling close to the artificial formations that China has built in the contested waters. At the same time as Mr Xi's visit, Japan's Defence Minister Gen Nakatani is at the strategic port of Cam Ranh, and a French warship is calling in Danang port, both in central Vietnam. Territorial disputes are what the Vietnamese public want to see their leaders address in the meetings with Mr Xi, and the leaders made sure they did. In reply, Mr Xi only called for long term and acceptable solutions to the issue, saying both Vietnam and China should look at the bigger picture and the benefits that their traditional and historical relationship brings. Separately, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has reiterated in a phone call to US Secretary of State John Kerry that the recent presence of a US warship in waters claimed by China had harmed relations. A statement on the Chinese foreign ministry website said Mr Wang told Mr Kerry that the vessel had "harmed mutual trust and provoked regional tensions". The US has pledged to continue patrols in the South China Sea following last week's sailing of the USS Lassen within the 12-nautical mile exclusion zone China has declared around the Spratly Islands. The US Freedom of Navigation operations challenge what it deems to be "excessive claims" to the world's oceans and airspace. International maritime law allows countries to claim ownership of the 12-nautical mile area surrounding natural islands but does not allow nations to claim ownership of submerged features that have been raised by human intervention The US has called on China to stop land reclamation and construction of facilities such as airstrips and buildings, which others see as militarisation. China has said they are for civilian purposes.

China and Vietnam have pledged to be "good neighbours" and agreed to maintain peace in the South China Sea.

Media playback is not supported on this device One goal was enough, a superb second half strike from Kris Doolan. The Tannadice club were made to regret missing a glut of first half chances. Thistle had luck on their side, but an improved second half showing brought them three vital points and to within touching distance of the top six. The result leaves Mixu Paatelainen's men bottom, five points behind Kilmarnock with just six games left. It was the Tayside club who responded to a vociferous travelling support of 1,909 in a crowd of 4,533. Ryan Dow had a shot held by Tomas Cerny, and then a great free kick from Paul Paton curled into a dangerous area but could not be cashed in by the United players in the six yard box. Dow had about four chances in the opening spell, the best of which was a four on three break in which Guy Demel played him in, but he shot over. Billy McKay was next to nearly take advantage of some comic cuts Thistle defending with a lob just over the bar, swiftly followed John Rankin having a go but being denied by a fabolous save from Cerny. Rankin went close again with a sizzling 25 yarder just past the post. At this stage it was King Canute versus the tide. Against all this, just before half-time Partick should have had a penalty when Gavin Gunning clearly had a grip of Doolan, but referee Andrew Dallas waved play on. It would have been astonishing had Thistle gone in ahead. It was a miracle that the half finished 0-0. The injury gods continued to conspire against Thistle right at the start of the second half. Frederic Frans went down with no-one near him and limped off to be replaced by Mustapha Dumbuya, with the home side having already lost Gary Fraser in the first half. But that tide was turning. There was one fabulous move which ended with Callum Booth volleying just over the bar and there was a new pace and appetite about the home side. One way or another a goal had to come. And so it did. For Thistle. Doolan scored his ninth of the season with a magnificent drive from the edge of the box after a sweet build up. It was joy for Thistle and happiness for Kilmarnock who desperately need United not to close in on their tail. Researchers analysed genetic data from skeletons dating to the Bronze Age, a period marked by the emergence of writing, complex urban planning and magnificent art and architecture. These ancient Aegean people were mostly descended from farmers who had settled the region thousands of years earlier. But they showed signs of genetic - and possibly cultural - contact with people to the north and to the east. Dr Iosif Lazaridis, from Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts, and colleagues focussed on burials from the Minoan civilization, which flourished on the island of Crete from 2,600 to 1,100 BC, and the Mycenaean culture, which was existed across Greece from 1,600 -1,100 BC. "They're important because they are the first known civilizations in Europe that had writing and a level of complexity that was not present in earlier cultures... It's always been a puzzle: where did these people come from and how did they create this amazing culture," Dr Lazaridis told BBC News. "With ancient DNA we can now begin to answer this question." Dr Lazaridis explained that most of the people who created these civilizations appear to be local - deriving between 62% and 86% of their ancestry from people who introduced agriculture to Europe from Anatolia (modern Turkey) in Neolithic times, starting from about 7,000 years ago. But the Bronze Age Mycenaean and Minoan skeletons revealed ancestry from populations originating in either the Caucasus mountains or Iran. Between 9% and 17% of their genetic make-up came from this source. In addition, the team's paper in Nature journal reports, the Mycenaeans - but not the Minoans - show evidence of genetic input from people who lived further north, on the flat grasslands that stretch from eastern Europe to Central Asia. Between 4% and 16% of their ancestry came from this northern source. This fits with previous evidence from ancient DNA studies, showing that there was a major migration into Europe from this region during the Bronze Age. These nomadic livestock herders from the Steppe had a major impact on the gene pools of Northern and Central Europe. But the influence of Steppe migrants on populations from southern Europe - including Greece - was much more modest. The researchers don't know exactly when the northern and eastern influxes of people occurred, but both genetic components are missing from the stone age farmers who inhabited Greece during the Neolithic. This suggests that these later waves of migration arrived in either the third or fourth millennium BC - a time gap for which the researchers lack ancient DNA data. Dr Lazaridis says that both waves of migration might have acted as "cultural disruptors". "The migrants could be the bearers of innovation... a vehicle through which some new elements of culture arrived in Greece," he explained. By contrast, the researchers found no evidence for proposed migrations to Greece from ancient Egypt or from the areas of the eastern Mediterranean occupied by the Phoenician sea-faring culture. The work could also provide clues to the origin of Greek language. Like the majority of languages spoken in Europe today, Greek belongs to a family known as Indo-European. The members of this language family share common features of vocabulary and grammar. But how and when Indo-European speech spread across Europe remains a subject of debate. Some scholars believe the languages were introduced by the first farmers migrating from the Near East. Other researchers believe they were spread later, during the Bronze Age, by the herders who migrated west from the Steppe. But the much more minor influx of Steppe people into Greece compared with northern Europe has led some to conclude that this migration could not have effected a change in language. This might imply that progenitors of Greek - and perhaps other Indo-European languages - were already established in the Aegean by the time the Steppe people arrived. While the Mycenaeans are known to have spoken an early form of Greek, the earliest recorded language spoken by the Minoan people on Crete - known as Linear A - can be read but not translated. This implies that it belonged either to a distinct branch of Indo-European or to an entirely different language family. Sarah Poole, of Westenhanger Castle in Hythe, said her business had lost £30,000 from wedding and meeting cancellations due to Operation Stack. "Our business cannot survive if this carries on," she told BBC South East debate Gridlock Kent. Her comments came as 600 migrants got through the Eurotunnel fence overnight. A total of 400 were pushed back through the barrier by security teams, 180 were removed from the secure area and 20 were detained, according to BBC reporter Amanda Kirton in Calais. The ongoing situation in the French port involving migrants and striking ferry workers has led to Operation Stack being implemented on 26 days this summer. Ms Poole's wedding and conference venue is just off the M20, where lorries unable to cross the English Channel are parked or "stacked". "I urge the Prime Minister to come down to see our small businesses because it is us that is being affected," she said. "We are bringing the economy out of recession, but you are putting us straight back in it. "It's down to the French to sort out their own problems and us English to sort out the English side." B&B owner Mark Walker said holidaymakers were no longer visiting Kent from the continent. "They hear it is no longer the Garden of England - they hear it is the lorry park of England," he said. No senior member of the government was available to attend Monday's debate. But Craig Mackinlay, Conservative MP for Thanet South, said the impact of ferry worker strikes in Calais and migrants trying to enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel had been "unprecedented - complete chaos and disaster". He said he had been in regular discussions with transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin. "I can assure you the government is trying to get to grips with this," he said. "The ultimate solution is what is happening on the French side. "We have got two of the most advanced nations on the planet - Britain and France. Are you telling me, seriously, that we can't defend a port?" He said the British government would be spending money to make the Eurotunnel entrance in Calais more secure by Friday. Kent County Council leader Paul Carter said Operation Stack was necessary and was likely to be implemented again. He said logistics experts from the Ministry of Defence had been looking at three alternative sites to park lorries over the past three days "at David Cameron's insistence". Sites put forward are at the disused Manston airport, Westhanger and Ebbsfleet. "It is for national government to fund the solution and it has got to be a top priority to keep the Queen's highway open in Kent at all times," he said. David Cameron admitted on Friday that more work needed to be done to tackle the migrant crisis in Calais. "We rule nothing out in taking action to deal with this very serious problem," he said. "We are absolutely in it. We know it needs more work." The band headlined a show at Cornwall's Eden Project, opening with Paper Gods, the title track of their latest album. They followed it up with a brace of 80s hits - Wild Boys, Hungry Like The Wolf and A View To A Kill. Will Young, Laura Mvula and Shaun The Sheep have also taken part in the UK-wide celebration of music. Choristers Only Men Aloud launched events at 06:50, singing with Amy Wadge - who was singing on a platform atop of the Severn Bridge. The singer, who won a Grammy for co-writing Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, penned a song specially for BBC Music Day. Called The Bridge, it also marks the 50th anniversary of the Severn Bridge bridge being built. Nile Rodgers, who co-founded Chic and has worked with Prince and David Bowie, is an ambassador for BBC Music Day, and said music had the power to change lives. "I've had some really rough years as of late," said the star, who is currently in remission from cancer, "but the music keeps us going". "When I have my worst times, I just pick up my guitar and I start practicing in my room. And people wonder, 'well, do those songs become hits?'. "And I go, 'I don't care, I just do it because it makes me feel good'. I love to play." Almost 400 events took place across the UK on Friday, including a children's "vegetable orchestra", led by Shaun The Sheep at Bristol's Colston Hall. Rock band Travis played a unique, one-off show with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Glasgow's Barrowlands. Birmingham's New Street Station saw a flashmob by singer Ruby Turner and the Town Hall Gospel Choir, who opened their set with gospel classic This Train (Is Bound For Glory). Meanwhile, the Ulster Orchestra performed in the grounds of the Stormont Parliament Buildings in Belfast. Their programme included the theme to TV show Game Of Thrones, much of which is filmed in Northern Ireland. A UK-wide bell-ringing event took place at 19:00 BST, with more than 180 church towers ringing simultaneously, including Bristol and Manchester cathedral and smaller parish churches such as Saint Francis Xavier's in Liverpool and St Mary's in Turville, Buckinghamshire. BBC Radio 2 honoured five "unsung heroes" of music, including Dr Jane Bentley, who runs music groups for people with mental health difficulties, alzheimers and dementia. And children's choirs from around the UK joined forces together to perform a specially-written song for BBC Music Day. Our Song was composed by Sasha Johnson Manning using words provided by listeners to CBeebies radio. At lunchtime, pop star Will Young serenaded workers at Bristol's Pukka Herbs tea factory, marking the 75th anniversary of Workers Playtime - a BBC radio programme which was started to boost morale among workers during the Second World War. Dressed in hygienic scrubs, the singer said he was taking part because music "crosses boundaries" and brings communities together. "I get as much joy singing in the shower as I will singing here today," he added. Under the banner Take It To The Bridge, live music was staged on more than 40 bridges around the UK. A Borders piper and a Northumbrian piper played on opposite sides of the Union Chain Bridge, which unites England and Scotland over the River Tweed, before meeting in the middle. Singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti battled vertigo on London's Tower Bridge - playing his set on a glass-bottomed walkway 42 metres above the River Thames. "I was clenching my eyes together," he admitted after the performance. The Military Wives Choir sang Sailing - as made famous by Rod Stewart - on the bridge of HMS Victory in Portsmouth; while Middlesbrough's Tees Transporter Bridge featured live music throughout the day. In Yorkshire, Rebecca Newman played Bridge over Troubled Waters on a temporary crossing over the River Wharfe. The footbridge was constructed after Tadcaster Bridge crumbled during floods last Christmas. Full details of events around the UK can be found on the BBC Music Day website. Duran Duran's concert will be broadcast live from 21:00 BST on Radio 2, while highlights will be shown on BBC One on Sunday, 5 June. "Can I say thank you to the BBC for Music Day?" said singer Simon LeBon, four songs into their set. "I think it's an amazing thing to bring people together over music." #Maggi became the top trending tag on Twitter, with most celebrating the verdict. The Bombay High Court called the ban by food safety authorities "arbitrary" and said it violated the "principles of natural justice". Nestle will not be able to sell Maggi until fresh tests ordered by the court clear the popular snack. The six week rider has however been mostly lost on what is clearly a Maggi craving public. Some drew ironic comparisons to another popular hashtag "taste of freedom" relating to India's Independence Day which falls on 15 August. Maggi is one of the most popular snacks in India, and ban and food safety concerns notwithstanding, many hoarded away packets to tide them over the ban. "The young and old ones in my home can't go without Maggi. So, I got about 30 packs before it went out of stores. Turns out, there are still six of them left", Gargee Borah, a 30-year-old professional from Assam told the BBC. Facebook shout outs where people have pleaded for Maggi from others who have hoarded packets have also been a common sight since June, when the ban was enforced. "Cravings happen. All the time. Especially when at the middle of the day (or night), the wind carries the whiff of some selfish neighbour's meal menu", Mala Magotra complained. "One such day, I pleaded to anyone who was ready to listen - "do you have Maggi? And are you ready to share?" Several replied "I do". Only one offered to send me some. But never did." Food writer Sourish Bhattacharyya explained India's enduring relationship with its favourite noodles saying, "When Maggi instant noodles arrived in India in 1983 - the year when India lifted the cricket World Cup for the first time - they instantly caught the nation's imagination." "When the brand launched the Me and Meri Maggi campaign (Me and My Maggi campaign) in its silver jubilee year in 2008, inviting people to send in their personal Maggi stories, its advertising agency Publicis Capital was deluged with more than 30,000 entries." The High Court order is by no means a complete reprieve for Nestle and Maggi, and even in a best case scenario Indians will have to wait six weeks, assuming the fresh tests declare Maggi safe for human consumption. The 30-year-old - whose third album Caustic Love topped the charts in 2014 - was arrested in his home town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, on Tuesday. Police Scotland said: "We can confirm that a 30-year-old man was arrested in Paisley on 21 February in connection with alleged road traffic offences." Nutini was released on an undertaking to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court at a later date. But you would be wrong, at least according to the man himself. As far as Murray is concerned, the next "big goal" lies Down Under. Winning January's Australian Open is now the top target for a man who has lifted most of the sport's other major prizes, winning his second Wimbledon and retaining his Olympic title in 2016 alone. "The Australian Open is obviously the next big goal that comes along," said Murray. "It's less than three months away now. Obviously we've got a break between now and then, so I'll have some time off, but I've been in the final there five times. I'd love to win there. "It's a tournament I've really enjoyed playing at. I love the conditions. I love Australia. I love playing in Melbourne. "I've been close, but it's just not quite happened for me, so it's a big goal and I'll be working towards that in December when I'm over in Miami training." Before the long flight to Melbourne, however, Murray could cap the best season of his life by winning the World Tour Finals, something he's never done, thereby clinching another career milestone: the year-end world number one spot. Neither of those two achievements seem uppermost in his thoughts at the moment, despite the fact he concedes the event at London's 02 arena is huge for exactly those reasons. "I never expected to finish the year at number one, so I'm not putting any added pressure on myself this week to do it," said the two-time Wimbledon champion. "The last few months have been the best of my career. I want to keep that going this week if possible, but if not then I just want to play well." The chances of that are significantly improved by Murray's status as tennis's new top dog. He boasts 19 straight wins and four titles in a row, which has helped him get there, but the Scot is phlegmatic about the effect finally reaching world number one has had on him. "I feel the same, I don't feel different," he said. "I mean, it's just how it is. I don't feel much different to how I felt last week. "I think maybe when you step on the court or are playing matches then maybe you have a little extra edge, a little more confidence maybe than in the past, but this week I've not felt any different really." One thing is different about the boy from Dunblane these days. Modes of transport. As we walked from the TV compound in the back of the O2 Arena back round to the players' lounge and the main court, I reminded Murray that, when he broke into the top 100 as a youngster, he sent his mother a simple text message: "We did it, Mum." There was a serious upgrade after he became world number one. He and Judy celebrated the achievement with a glass of champagne aboard a private jet from Paris to London. "It was the only way to get back that night to be at home with the family, so I managed to get out of Paris nice and quickly which was good," he explained. He'll see plenty of young daughter Sophia and wife Kim this week instead of staying in a central London hotel as he has in previous years. Murray is commuting into the World Tour Finals from his home in Surrey. Time with the family has helped him put tennis into perspective. It's also brought out the very best in him and his game. That could be underlined come next weekend. If he at least matches Novak Djokovic's progress at the O2, a truly spectacular season will finish with Murray's status as this year's best player made official as the year-end world number one. He said private diesel cars, lorries and buses could be barred from the city at certain times from 2022. Mr Anderson aims to create a "clean air zone" by no longer licensing new diesel taxis and encouraging zero-emission vehicles. Unite's Tommy McIntyre, who represents taxi drivers, said: "It's crazy to just bring it in without proper discussion." Mr Anderson also suggested cruise liners docking in Liverpool should be powered by electricity so they do not have to run diesel engines in port. The mayor's proposals will be considered by Liverpool City Council's cabinet in early June. Mr Anderson's ideas follow those of London mayor, Sadiq Khan, who hopes all new taxis in London should be capable of zero emissions from 2018. The Royal College of Physicians estimates that 40,000 early deaths a year can be attributed to poor air quality in the UK. Liverpool City Council cited a Public Health England report which found 292 people aged under 19 in the city were admitted to hospital with asthma in 2014-15. Only Manchester and Birmingham had a higher admission rate. Mr Anderson, who is in post until 2020, said: "By 2025 I want the city to have developed a central heart where walking, cycling, electric vehicles and clean fuels will dominate, and from which polluting diesel traffic will be discouraged. "It will also be important to introduce these changes in order to stop older, dirtier vehicles that have been banned in other cities from being relocated to Liverpool." Liverpool-based Mr McIntyre said: "We don't oppose having eco-taxis, in fact we need them. But it will take at least 10 years, not five. "This could really impact taxi drivers' livelihoods. "I don't think many could afford one of these new eco-taxis." These plans were due to come, perhaps more fully formed, to the city council's cabinet in June and the idea of addressing air pollution in Liverpool will be welcomed by most. But for those who drive diesel vehicles for a living, it's causing a great deal of uncertainty. London is being used as a comparison, as new diesel taxis there won't be granted a licence from next year. The draft plans in Liverpool suggest adopting a similar scheme. Liverpool city centre is small and easily walkable, so it won't be hard to create a 'beating heart' for pedestrians. Cyclists, however, still bemoan the lack of provision for bikes. A big question mark hangs over buses, although work is being done by operators to make them 'greener'. It's worth noting too, that public transport will soon come under the remit of the Metro Mayor for the city region. He or she will be elected in May. The party, which won two seats in Stormont last year, describes itself as the anti-establishment alternative. It said its' target of gaining seats in the 2 March election has been made easier because of public fury over the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. The party is standing seven candidates and said it was very confident. Gerry Carroll, who topped the poll in west Belfast last May, said: "Last year, we knocked on doors and we said there is an alternative. "There's an alternative to austerity; there's an alternative to running down the health service; to running down education and under funding education and it took a while to explain to people. "But now, you just say three letters - RHI, RHI, RHI." The party is hoping to take a second seat in west Belfast, to retain the Foyle seat won by Eamonn McCann, and it is aiming to win a seat in North Belfast as well. "This election is about the record of the executive," Mr Carroll said. "Sinn Féin want to make it about the DUP; the DUP want to make it about Sinn Féin but, for us, this election is about the record of the Sinn Féin/DUP executive." The party's manifesto calls for an end to corruption at all levels; an end to links between paramilitaries and the State and the introduction of an Irish Language Act. They also support rights for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community; reform of the rates system and an end to privatisation. Mr McCann claimed Sinn Féin was "spooked" by the People Before Profit Alliance. "The DUP and Sinn Féin depend on Catholics and Protestants being hostile to one another," he added. "If that went away and there was no hostility between the communities, what would Sinn Féin and the DUP do?" Mr Carroll said: "What we're calling for is a different type of politics, a politics which is not about corruption. "Also, we're calling for the books to be opened; the books for RHI, the books for Nama, Red Sky, Social Investment Fund and all the scandals, because we think the public should have their say and give their verdict on what's been going on." The firm has published a patent that describes devices that would turn their heads towards users and listen to what they were saying, before sending commands to remote computer servers. The three-year old patent was spotted recently by the legal technology firm SmartUp. It described the proposal as "one of Google's creepiest patents yet". Privacy campaigners have also raised concerns. A spokeswoman for Google was unable to say whether this was a product the firm might develop and sell. "We file patent applications on a variety of ideas that our employees come up with," she said. "Some of those ideas later mature into real products or services, some don't. Prospective product announcements should not necessarily be inferred from our patent applications," she added. The patent was originally filed back in February 2012, but has only just been published. Its inventor is named as Richard Wayne DeVaul, whose job title is "director of rapid evaluation and mad science" at Google X - the firm's secretive "skunkworks" lab. The patent describes how the toys would include microphones, speakers, cameras and motors as well as a wireless connection to the internet. It states that a trigger word would cause them to wake up and turn their gaze towards the person addressing them, and would be able to check if the person talking was making eye contact. The document suggests the device could respond both by speaking back and by expressing "human-like" expressions of interest, curiosity, boredom and/or surprise. "To express interest, an anthropomorphic device may open its eyes, lift its head and/or focus its gaze on the user," Mr DeVaul wrote. "To express curiosity, [it] may tilt its head, furrow its brow, and/or scratch its head with an arm." Drawings show that the machine could be made to look like a bunny rabbit or teddy bear, and the text suggests other alternatives that include dragons and alien life forms. The patent adds that making the device look "cute" should encourage even the youngest members of a family to interact with it. "Young children might find these forms to be attractive," it says. "However, individuals of all ages may find interacting with these anthropomorphic devices to be more natural than interacting with traditional types of user interfaces." The document suggests the toys could be used to control a wide range of devices, from televisions and DVD players to home thermostats, motorised window curtains and lights. It adds that they might prove so popular that families would wish to buy several, placing them around the house including inside their bedrooms. The idea echoes the "super toy" teddy bear featured in Steven Spielberg's 2001 movie AI. But Mikhail Avady, from SmartUp, said he thought it belonged in "a horror film", and the campaign group Big Brother Watch has also expressed dismay. "The privacy concerns are clear when devices have the capacity to record conversations and log activity," said its director Emma Carr. "When those devices are aimed specifically at children, then for many this will step over the creepy line. "Children should be able to play in private and shouldn't have to fear this sort of passive invasion of their privacy. It is simply unnecessary," she added. The Center for Democracy and Technology - a research group that helped shape child protection laws in the US - said that parents would have to be "especially vigilant" over the coming years, whether or not Google ever put such toys on sale. "In general, as technology moves forward, markets will offer a steady stream of products that push or even break mainstream social norms - on privacy as well as other things," said its director of European affairs, Jens-Henrik Jeppesen. "Responsible companies will understand they need to provide full transparency about how such devices handle data. "Some consumers may find such products appealing - I suspect most will not," he added. Google is not the first firm to see the appeal of a family-friendly voice-activated control for the home, as an alternative to using remote controls or smartphones. Amazon already sells the Echo in the US - a cylindrical internet-linked device that can be used to control music playback, check the weather and order food. A marketing video for the device shows children using it. But the fact that it does not look like a toy may have helped it become relatively uncontroversial. By contrast, Mattel's recent announcement of Hello Barbie - a doll that uses a wi-fi connection and voice recognition to chat with young girls and recall things they said in earlier conversations - has prompted a backlash. A lobby group called the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood has launched petitions calling for the toy firm to drop the idea. The petitions have attracted more than 42,000 online signatures. The 21-year-old defender has made just two Championship appearances for his parent club in 2016-17. The move is likely to help the Silkmen provide cover for captain Andy Halls, who suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Barrow. Evans could make his debut in Saturday's match at home to Braintree Town. The visitors led at the break after two tries from Darnell McIntosh and efforts from Lee Gaskell and Alex Mellor, while retiring back-rower Gareth Ellis and Jake Connor went over for the hosts. Tyler Dickinson and Gaskell extended Huddersfield's lead. Josh Griffin reduced the arrears but Kruise Leeming and Gaskell scored his hat-trick. It was a hugely disappointing night for the Airlie Birds, who take on Wigan in the Wembley final on Saturday, 26 August. They twice took the lead, first through Ellis, who was making his 450th Super League appearance and first since announcing he was retiring at the end of the season, and then through Connor but they never recovered after going into the break 10 points down. The hosts struggled in defence all night and Gaskell's third summed up their night as he touched down after Mahe Fonua spilled a kick in the in-goal area. Victory for Huddersfield means they are now just three points outside the play-off places with four games to play, while the Black and Whites remain third. Hull head coach Lee Radford: "It has made my job [picking a team for the Challenge Cup final] super easy for one or two. This was down to attitude, real plain and simple. "It took Danny Brough 46 minutes to kick from his own end which tells its own story. "Huddersfield ran harder than we hit. And it is a really simple game when you break it down like that." Huddersfield head coach Rick Stone: "A few weeks ago we played Hull here in a bit of a knock them down, drag them out affair. "We learned a bit from that game and tried to play through them a bit more. We got some good results with that and the boys stayed at the plan which was nice. "Our ball control was better and the result showed in the end." Hull FC: Connor, Michaels, Fonua, Griffin, Talanoa, Tuimavave, Sneyd, Bowden, Houghton, Watts, Minichiello, Turgut, Ellis. Replacements: Green, Thompson, Washbrook, Manu. Huddersfield: Rankin, McGillvary, Mellor, Turner, McIntosh, Gaskell, Brough, Wakeman, Leeming, Ikahihifo, Hinchcliffe, Ta'ai, Clough. Replacements: O'Brien, Lawrence, Smith, Dickinson. A broken-down trawler with six fishermen onboard was towed to Lochinver in Sutherland by Lochinver RNLI on Wednesday night. Earlier on Wednesday, Kyle of Lochalsh RNLI went to the aid of a man stuck on his small boat in rough conditions in Glenelg Bay. A Met Office warning of high winds is in place until 13:00 on Thursday. Forecasters warn that winds could gust to 75mph across the Hebrides, Sutherland, Caithness and Orkney. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely in many areas of Scotland during that period of the warning, which started from 01:00 on Thursday. High winds have already been affecting large parts of Scotland west coast and the Highlands. Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne said poor weather conditions has been causing disruption on many of its routes. Kyle of Lochalsh RNLI's call-out on Wednesday afternoon saw the crew help a man get to shore from where his small boat was tied up in Glenelg Bay. The man was safely dropped off at the ferry slipway at Glenelg. "I accept the sentence. I will not appeal. I realise the crime I've committed and what I've cost the party," he said. He was convicted of accepting bribes of 130m yuan ($21.3m; £13.8m), abusing his power and leaking state secrets. The state news agency said the trial was held in closed session due to the secrets charges. A commentary from the Communist Party's flagship newspaper, The People's Daily, was read on state television's main evening news broadcast: "No one is above law. This case shows that our country is practising the rule of law and our party is determined to eradicate corruption." The official account of the closed trial said Zhou Yongkang himself conceded the court process was fair and reasonable. It included videotape testimony from his wife and son, and the court heard that most of the bribes involved family members. Although the trial was only reported after the event, the official account was robust in its defence of China's judicial process. It said defence lawyers had many opportunities to talk to their client and were also able to cross-examine witnesses. Few members of the public are weeping for Mr Zhou tonight. "Tiger Zhou didn't escape lawful punishment. It should ring a warning bell for others", "Support justice. Everyone should obey laws!", "He knows law but breaks law. He deserves to be punished. We're determined to battle corruption," were some of the comments on the website Weibo. Zhou is just the latest victim of the Orwellian security system he once ran. Although the key charges relate to corruption, his trial is about politics much more than it is about money. Zhou is in court because of a power play which went wrong. During three and a half decades of high-speed growth, bribery and abuse of power have become commonplace among China's Communist Party elite and the charges Mr Zhou faces could be hung round the neck of many of those who currently wield power. As for deliberately revealing state secrets, almost every aspect of the life and work of China's leadership is deemed a state secret and so this charge too can cover a multitude of sins. In 2015, Chinese politics is still living through the fall-out of the vicious succession battle which brought Xi Jinping and a new top team to power - a battle in which a murder dealt the winning side a sensational wild card. But is unlikely that Zhou Yongkang's trial revisited the poisoning of a British businessman in a Chongqing hotel room; and politics watchers will be disappointed that holding the trial entirely in secret has denied them any new insights into the 2012 succession struggle. This way the current leadership can control the narrative around the theme of corruption, and avoid reminding the public of the dangerous and deadly ways the party elite operates. But Chinese history is full of palace intrigue over which princeling will succeed the emperor - and a diet of TV soap operas keeps the public conversant with the Byzantine plots and murderous vendettas habitual to its political class. Xi Jinping himself said recently that the "gene of traditional Chinese culture" is deeply planted in China's governance strategy. It is unlikely he was referring to blackmail, poisoning and police cover ups. But when it is no longer treason to tackle the subject matter, the year which began with a murder on 14 November 2011 and ended with the coronation of Xi Jinping exactly 12 months later will provide rich material for historians and scriptwriters alike. Zhou Yongkang is one of the key protagonists of this drama, and mistakes made then are key to his disgrace now. His key crimes are political, and the offences for which he has now been sentenced to life imprisonment merely provide the weapon for exacting revenge and ending his career. So what really happened to bring Zhou Yongkang to the dock? The short answer is that he was unlucky. He picked the wrong ally in Bo Xilai. Mr Bo is now also serving a life sentence, but until his wife murdered a British businessman and he fell out with his police chief over the cover up, the Chongqing Party Secretary was aiming for China's top decision making body, the Standing Committee of the Politburo. It is important to remember that the political battle in the run up to the 18th Communist Party Congress of November 2012 was less about Xi Jinping's accession to the role as party leader for the next decade and more about which men would share the top table with him. Mr Zhou was required by party rules to retire from the Standing Committee, and it seems plausible that he had decided on Bo as his successor. Like most party elders, Mr Zhou probably intended to continue his politics from retirement, with his protege Bo protecting his business interests and those of his family and patronage network. There is no way of confirming rumours that the two plotted to remove Xi Jinping from office, but after the decade of elite bloodletting which accompanied the Cultural Revolution, and the disagreements which threatened to split the leadership two decades later over how to handle the 1989 democracy protests, Beijing is acutely sensitive to the danger of fractures at the top. In March this year, the Supreme People's Court highlighted questions over what Zhou and Bo were planning when it said in its annual report that Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai had "trampled the law, damaged unity within the Party and conducted non-organisational political activities". Timeline: Zhou Yongkang 1942: Born in Wu Xi city in China's eastern Jiangsu Province 1964: Joins the Communist Party and spends the next 32 years in China's oil sector 1998: Becomes party secretary of China National Petroleum Corporation 1999: Appointed party secretary of Sichuan 2002: Appointed member of the Politburo at the 16th Party Congress; becomes minister of public security later that year 2007: Further promoted to member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo - China's highest state organ 2012: His lieutenants begin to get sacked and investigated; he appears with Bo Xilai at Chinese National People's Congress session December 2013: His son Zhou Bin is arrested on corruption charges December 2014: Arrested, expelled from party June 2015: Sentenced to life in prison But even in the densely plotted world of Chinese politics, the best laid plans can go awry. Neither Zhou Yongkang nor anyone else could have predicted that in November 2011, Bo's wife Gu Kailai would murder a long time British business associate, Neil Heywood, over a business quarrel. Murder in itself was not enough to rock a high-flying Chinese political career. Everyone involved seemed to feel invulnerable at the time. The Chongqing police chief, Wang Lijun, had actually helped Gu obtain the poison she used, and subsequently it was he who organised the cover up. But events soon started to spiral out of control when the conspirators fell out. Wang tried to use his knowledge of the murder as political leverage, Bo sacked him and the police chief then pulled the sensational stunt of fleeing to the American consulate in nearby Chengdu to beg for asylum. Suddenly this was no longer an everyday tale of murder and intrigue in Chinese politics but an international incident which had exploded into the cauldron of Beijing's succession struggle just as the party leader in waiting, Xi Jinping, was about to visit the US. The charismatic Bo Xilai had earned enemies among the leadership in Beijing through his Maoist slogans and populist campaigns. As the spreading scandal of murder and cover-up threatened to engulf Bo's hopes of promotion, Zhou fought hard to protect him. In March 2012, just as the rest of the Standing Committee were uniting against Bo Xilai, Zhou spoke up to defend him. For the man who once controlled police, paramilitary, intelligence services, prisons and courts, the three-year march to the dock of the Tianjin Intermediate Court must have provided an enlightening vantage point from which to view the empire he built. Zhou Yongkang's last public appearance was on 1 October 2013, a week after his protege was sentenced to life in prison for bribery, embezzlement and covering up a murder. With Bo's case concluded, the Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection could turn their attention to Zhou. This is a story full of rich ironies. Three years ago, Zhou praised the court officials who delivered Gu Kailai's murder conviction for serving the Communist Party well and "holding a fair trial which would stand the test of history". Today, his life spared but his family in the hands of his enemies, the once mighty boss of China's court system pronounced a similarly positive verdict on his own trial. Frankie Davies had gone to Boscastle to do some shopping when she fell "in a heap" on the street and had no mobile signal to call for help. She said by "incredible luck" a man watching the webcam saw her and phoned his mother who lives in Boscastle. She then helped Mrs Davies who was treated in hospital. More on the rescue story, plus more Devon and Cornwall news Mrs Davies, from St Teath, had gone into the seaside town to get a present for her son. "I crossed over the road and my left foot shot out in front of me and I just went down," she said. Minutes later Becky Galvin, who lives in Boscastle, got a call from her son in Worcester. "I suddenly noticed this lady coming to me and we hobbled back to her place," said Mrs Davies. "It was amazing that someone in Worcester saw me lying there and and phoned his mum to say 'Can you help her?'" She said there was nobody around as the weather was bad. "I was in a lot of pain, so just laid there getting my breath, unable to move hoping things would improve. "It just shows you how lovely people are really at heart doesn't it? "They are absolutely wonderful people." And she did not know there was a webcam, at the Riverside Hotel. Owner Ross said: "I love the webcam, it was installed for visitors and friends to keep in touch with Boscastle. "It's used all round the world and it's great that it's been used to help this particular lady." Mrs Galvin and her son were unavailable for immediate comment. The University and College Admissions Service says 6,910 students were matched with places through clearing. This leaves 154,850 students still looking for a university place. With the student numbers cap lifted this year, experts say universities are competing with each other for students. Mark Bramwell, Associate Director of Sixth Form Colleges, said: "This year it's the universities who are competing, rather than the students, with increased use of unconditional offers, a 2% increase in students getting their first choice and extensive use of bursaries." "Universities still have places to fill, and many will accept students who may have only missed the grade by a small margin," he added. Last year nearly one in eight students were eventually placed through the clearing system. Staff at Ucas staff had a busy day on Thursday as A-level results were released and collected by students. It said that by 18:30: The top three course searches on the Ucas website were for courses in law, economics and psychology. The businessman took over from Michael Johnston at last year's annual meeting of the Scottish Premiership club. "I am now 69 and have suffered some health issues in recent months," Mann pointed out in a club statement. As he lives in Milton Keynes, he said remaining chairman of Kilmarnock had become "unsustainable". He added it had become difficult to combine the role with his business and other interests. "There is no reason other than that for my decision to stand down and I hope that the club's shareholders and supporters will give their full support to the board of directors as it embarks upon the process of appointing a new chairman while steering the club away from relegation," he said. "It is with considerable regret that I have to announce my decision to stand down as chairman of Kilmarnock Football Club at the forthcoming annual general meeting. I will also retire as a director from that date." Mann, who lived in Kilmarnock until 1972, was a senior executive with TUK Travel plc until his retirement shortly before taking over as chairman at Rugby Park. Shortly after Mann took over, Gary Locke was made permanent manager having had a spell as caretaker, but the former Kilmarnock midfielder resigned in January with his side sitting second bottom of the table. The Ayrshire side are in the same position despite the appointment of Lee Clark as Locke's successor and it was not until Saturday that they recorded their first victory under the new boss, at the seventh attempt - a 3-0 defeat of St Johnstone. "Having been born and bred in Kilmarnock but having spent most of my career working in England, it was a dream come true to be appointed chairman of the club I have supported throughout my life in March 2015," Mann added. "So this has not been an easy decision for me to reach, particularly at this difficult stage of the season with the club in a precarious league position. "I wish Lee Clark, his backroom staff and the players the best of luck in the weeks ahead. "Everyone at the club is fully focused on the task at hand and determined to succeed. "I have enjoyed working with the club's directors and staff, from all of whom I have received full support and unstinting loyalty. I leave the club in good hands." The 4-3 victory in their EuroHockey Championship II semi-final ensured they will play in the eight-nation A Division for the first time in 2019. Wales, who were also unbeaten in their group campaign, will play hosts Scotland in the final. That will take place on Saturday, with both of the nations guaranteed promotion to Europe's elite. Wales took the lead after 13 minutes after Rupert Shipperley deflected the ball superbly past the French keeper. But the French equalised before the break through Gaspard Baumgarten's excellent reverse stick finish. James Carson restored Wales' lead before Gareth Furlong scored from a penalty corner. France again pulled one back before Luke Hawker scored Wales's fourth from another penalty corner. A late French goal set up a nervy finish but Wales held on for victory. "This is a huge moment for Hockey Wales and the squad," said Wales captain Lewis Prosser. "We have been building towards this for the last two years and we are playing the best hockey we have ever played. "I am so happy we got to the A division and I can't quite believe it." Scotland beat Russia 4-3 in their semi-final. While English and Welsh are the usual forms of communications in the Senedd, it opted for the native tongue of the enemies of Star Trek's Captain Kirk. Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar had asked for details of UFOs sightings and asked if research would be funded. A Welsh government spokesman responded with: "jang vIDa je due luq." The Welsh government statement continued: "'ach ghotvam'e' QI'yaH devolve qaS." In full it said it translated as: "The minister will reply in due course. However this is a non-devolved matter." It is believed to be the first time the Welsh government has chosen to communicate in Klingon. Mr Millar, shadow health minister and AM for Clwyd West, submitted three questions to economy, science and transport minister Edwina Hart about UFO reports around the airport and across the rest of Wales. Responding to the government's unusual diversion into trilingualism, Mr Millar said: "I've always suspected that Labour ministers came from another planet. This response confirms it." Mr Millar asked: The 24-year-old, who went on loan to Rotherham this term after injury, has played eight times since his return. "We've got a (12-month) option on him (in the summer) and clearly I'm going to take that up," said McCarthy. "We are in negotiations with him about a new contract. Whether he's happy with what we've offered him I don't know - Marcus (Evans) is dealing with it." Hyam, who has made 105 league appearances for Ipswich, played in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Reading which lifted Town into the Championship play-offs, with Brett Pitman's 89th-minute winner securing the Portman Road win. "We worked unbelievably hard and scrapped and fought for everything," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk of his side's performance. "That was one of our hardest games all season, physically. We didn't play particularly well but we were playing against a really good team full of quality Championship players. "All the things I talk about, resilience, determination and endurance, that is sometimes much maligned because people and I want sexy football - but it's not always a league you can do it in. "As I've found over my 24 years doing it, you tend to get more out of it with all those physical, tough qualities than you do with just wanting to be a nice football team." The 0.2% rise in house prices last month was down from a 0.8% rise in December, although that left prices 4.3% higher than at this time in 2016. "The outlook for the housing market remains clouded," said Nationwide economist Robert Gardner. The average price of a house in the UK dropped slightly to £205,240. Mr Gardner said that so far there had not been a negative impact on the economy following the vote to leave the EU. "The economy has remained far stronger than expected in the wake of the Brexit vote. "Recent data indicates that the economy didn't slow in the second half of 2016 and the unemployment rate remained stable at an 11-year-low in the three months to November." However, he added: "There are tentative signs that conditions may be about to soften. "Employment growth has moderated and while wage growth has edged up in recent months, in real terms, earnings growth has already slowed." Even though the Nationwide reckons that house price inflation was 4.3% in January, it still believes the average figure for 2017 will end up at 2%. That implies a fairly dramatic dip in inflation during the months ahead. In fact it looks like house prices could soon be rising at a slower rate than the cost of living as a whole. In the smartest parts of London, prices have already fallen by up to 12% in the last year, according to some analysis. But Nationwide's gloomy outlook for the economy and house prices may be good news for house-hunters. Among those sites set to open are the historic Durbar squares or "noble courts", which were badly damaged. Unesco raised some concerns over the safety of reopening the sites. But media reports cite officials as saying the necessary measures are in place. More than 8,000 people were killed and the destruction was widespread. Shortly after the quake, Unesco's director-general Irina Bokova described damage to the Kathmandu valley as "extensive and irreversible". It sent a team to assess the damage and is continuing to monitor the situation. On 11 June Unesco issued a statement asking the public to be extra cautious at the sites, adding that it hoped the decision to reopen them could be re-examined. Security will be in place, tourists will be given guided tours and signboards will indicate specified routes to cause minimal disturbance to structures, officials are quoted as saying in local media. Nepal's Kathmandu Valley treasures: Before and after Nepal earthquakes: Devastation in maps and images Recent images and status of some of the damaged sites The seven protected monument zones are: The Durbar Square in Kathmandu's Old City is a mesh of palaces, courtyards and temples. Unesco calls it "the social, religious and urban focal point" of the Nepalese capital. The UN has urged security perimeters be put in place here. Unesco says the process of salvaging the artefacts at the Buddhist temple complex at the Swayambhunath temple complex - founded in the 5th Century - is still ongoing. It also believes that opening the area could risk the theft of art and cultural objects. The main temple in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square lost its roof, while the 16th Century Vatsala Durga temple, famous for its sandstone walls and gold-topped pagodas, was demolished by the quake. Local media reports that tourists to severely damaged Changu Narayan of northern Bhaktapur will be carefully monitored . Patan's Durbar Square, the 3rd Century site across the Bagmati river to the east of Kathmandu, was opened to the public last week. The body was found on Sunday night on what police said was an inaccessible area of waste ground next to the M6. Zahid Mirza's car crashed on the southbound carriageway between junctions 4A and 5 near Coleshill, Warwickshire, on 15 January. The car was empty and Mr Mirza, 40, has not been seen by his family since. The body was found after two days of intensive searching, police said. Mr Mirza is from Chelmsley Wood, near Solihull. More stories from Birmingham and the Black Country Det Supt Tom Chisholm said the area had been searched at the time of the crash but the driver was not found. "Following enquiries, we discovered that Mr Mirza's family have had no contact with him since then, so specialist officers have been in the area over the past two days carrying out searches," he said. "Yesterday evening (Sunday) the search team discovered the body of a man in an inaccessible area of waste ground. The body has not been formally identified but family liaison officers have notified Mr Mirza's family and are supporting them." Nigeria's then-military regime sparked global outrage after convicting Mr Saro-Wiwa of murder and hanging him. The West African state's main human rights body said his trial was "deeply flawed", and he should be pardoned. Mr Saro-Wiwa led mass protests against oil pollution in Nigeria's Ogoniland. The protests were seen as a major threat to then-military ruler Gen Sani Abacha, and oil giant Shell. Military rule ended in Nigeria, Africa's most populous state and biggest oil producer, in 1999. The head of the government-appointed Nigerian Human Rights Commission Chidi Odinkalu said there was no doubt Ken Saro-Wiwa's trial was "deeply flawed" and "unsafe". A posthumous pardon was the only way to restore the integrity of the state which "breached its own laws to procure a killing", he added, the AFP news agency reports. The main events to commemorate Mr Saro-Wiwa's death - including a "justice walk" - are taking place in the main oil city, Port Harcourt, reports the BBC's Chris Ewokor from the capital, Abuja. Nigeria's port authorities have refused to release a metal bus, shipped from the UK, which was to have been part of the commemorations because they regarded its message as highly political, our reporter adds. It had written on it Mr Saro-Wiwa's famous phrase: "I accuse the oil companies of committing genocide." Suzanne Dhaliwal from campaign group Action Soro-Wiwa condemned the seizure of the bus. "We are still seeing the same attitudes to the freedom of expression that were there 20 years ago," she told the BBC's Newsday programme. The bus is an artwork of UK-based Nigerian artist Sokari Douglas Camp, and was done about a decade ago. It was commissioned by campaign groups, including Platform, to show solidarity with Nigerians who are still affected by oil pollution. Last week, Amnesty International and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development accused Shell of making false claims about the extent of its clean-up operations in Nigeria. In a report, they said several sites Shell claimed to have had cleaned up were still polluted. Shell said that it disagreed with their findings. Mr Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists were hanged after a secret trial which saw them being convicted of murdering four traditional leaders. They denied the charge, and said they were framed. The executions led to Nigeria's temporary suspension from the Commonwealth. Rachael Bermingham's petition calling for a referendum so that residents can decide if the city joins up has been signed by more than 3,100 people. Mrs Bermingham said it was a very important decision which deserved "the proper exercise of democracy". The council said there was no legal requirement for a referendum. A spokesman said that a statutory process ahead of any proposal about a combined authority would include consultation, while the government "will make the final decision". The Labour group which runs the council voted to support the move in principle last week but the matter will be discussed further at a cabinet meeting on Thursday. All this talk about the "Northern Powerhouse" seems at last to be concentrating minds in the West Midlands. The combined authority proposed six months ago by four Black Country councils plus Birmingham now has the support of Coventry's Labour administration. Their Conservative counterparts in Solihull, always the most reluctant partners, have agreed to recommend their authority should join in too. Solihull's participation would be crucial because a Midlands powerhouse which did not include Birmingham Airport, the National Exhibition Centre and a potential high-speed rail interchange would be something of a nonsense. The prize being held out by the chancellor is unprecedented devolved political and spending power worth billions of pounds, along the lines of that already being handed over to authorities in and around Manchester. With it would come extra clout for local decision-makers in important areas like housing, transport, skills and planning. In return, they may have to stomach a "metro mayor". Despite overwhelming evidence that such a move is generally unwanted here, George Osborne is adamant that the new-style regional boss is a "pre-requisite". Councils controlling Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton are among those who have backed the plans. The petition says that many residents are concerned about Coventry "playing second fiddle to Birmingham, as it did in the old West Midlands County Council days". Mrs Bermingham, 63, said she remembered the county council providing "an additional layer of authority and bureaucracy" until its end in 1986. She believes the development of Coventry's city centre was among areas which lost out. Mrs Bermingham, a retired civil servant and mother of a daughter, said she was "shocked and surprised" to read that the council supported the plan which would "have an impact for decades" and should involve extensive public discussion. She hopes the petition will get at least 15,000 supporters, meaning the issue is debated at a full council meeting under council e-petition rules. Council leader Ann Lucas has said it was about moving power "from Whitehall to the West Midlands" - not from Coventry to Birmingham, and that councils working together could make the best decisions about major investments for the area. Media playback is not supported on this device Pardew was appointed on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2015 but the 55-year-old has been dismissed after a run of one victory in 11 games. Palace have taken just 26 points from the 36 Premier League matches they have played in 2016 and are only one point above the relegation zone. Former England boss Sam Allardyce is the bookmakers' favourite to take over. The ex-Sunderland, Newcastle and West Ham boss is among those expected to be considered. Chairman Steve Parish told BBC Sport: "We all bought into the decision to play a more expansive style of football. We all believed in it. That hasn't worked. It's no-one's fault. The players have been running their socks off for Alan, the spirit is good. Media playback is not supported on this device "But now we're going to wind the dial back the other way. "We're talking to a number of people to make sure we get this right. Nothing has been agreed." In a statement, Pardew said: "Personally I have a lot of good feelings for this football club and am sad that my time there has ended. "I feel that I have a special bond with the club and hope that hasn't been affected," added the manager, who made more than 100 appearances for Palace as a player between 1987 and 1991 and led them to the FA Cup final last season. Parish, who co-owns the club with American investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer, added: "I'm not going to blame other people [the American co-owners]. Relegation is so costly and I feel with no blame attached we got ourselves in a rut and need a change." Palace have yet to confirm who will take charge of the team for their league fixture at Watford on Boxing Day. As recently as 3 December, after the club's 3-0 win over Southampton, Pardew thanked Palace chairman Parish for his support. After the third goal, Pardew gave a thumbs-up gesture to Parish, who responded in a similar fashion. Following the game, Pardew said: "We have a lot of serious investors at the club who perhaps don't know a lot about football so the chairman has been defending me this week, so I just wanted to say thanks." Pardew left Newcastle to take over at Selhurst Park after Neil Warnock was sacked with Palace in the relegation zone. His appointment was a popular one with supporters and results improved as Palace went on to avoid the drop comfortably by finishing 10th, their best final position in the Premier League era. It meant he became the first manager of a Premier League club to secure a top-half finish after being in the relegation places at Christmas. Palace started the 2015-16 season with impressive victories over Liverpool and Chelsea which prompted talk of qualifying for Europe. However, Palace then endured a 14-game winless run in the Premier League between 19 December and 9 April and they finished 15th. Those struggles were offset as Palace reached the FA Cup final for only the second time in their history, facing Manchester United at Wembley. Palace took the lead through Jason Puncheon in the 78th minute, but goals from Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard saw United win 2-1. BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty Alan Pardew's managerial career has always had an element of "boom and bust" - and his last 12 months at Crystal Palace have fallen into the latter category. While club chairman Steve Parish was recently able to persuade Palace's American owners to give Pardew time, home defeats by Manchester United and Chelsea, albeit by narrow margins, meant they could keep faith no longer. Pardew guided Palace to the FA Cup final in May, and even though he lost talisman Yannick Bolasie to Everton in a £25m deal last summer, he had to deliver once he was allowed to re-invest expensively on players such as Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend. He has failed to do so, and with Palace lying only one point above the relegation places, the increasingly likelihood of Palace being dragged further into a fight to stay up means he has paid the price for his failings. Media playback is not supported on this device After 18 years in management, which has included stints at Reading, West Ham, Charlton, Southampton and Newcastle as well as Palace, Pardew finds himself out of work. His career has not been without controversy. As long ago as 2006, while in charge of West Ham, he was involved in a confrontation with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. In January 2014, he was involved in a heated incident with Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini. Two months later, he was fined £100,000 and given a formal warning for headbutting Hull City midfielder David Meyler. As recently as September, Pardew was talked of as a potential England manager and despite his recent struggles with Palace, he is likely to be linked with vacancies in the Premier League or Championship. In a statement, Parish said: "With games now coming thick and fast over the holiday period the club are hoping to put someone in place as quickly as possible but have nothing to say about a replacement at this time." Some of the possible contenders are: Former Palace striker Clinton Morrison told BBC Radio 5 live: "I think the Americans wanted their own man. Maybe Pardew knew he was coming to his end because you don't criticise the owners. Really, with the signings they've had, Palace should be doing better. Pardew was given ridiculous money." Ex-Palace chairman Simon Jordan said: "This isn't panic, it's a reaction to results that people could have seen six weeks ago. If you look at the performance of the team from January, they tanked. The FA Cup final muddied it. "Sam Allardyce is as good as it gets at guaranteeing a team doesn't get relegated. There's not exactly a plethora of top-quality managers around there, and Sam is a top, top manager." Media playback is not supported on this device Trott rode tactically in the final race of six disciplines to finish 12 points clear of Belgium's Jolien D'Hoore, with Netherland's Kirsten Wild third. It was the Briton's second gold medal of the meet following her success in the women's team pursuit on Friday. Britain also took gold in the men's team pursuit and men's madison. British Cycling technical director Shane Sutton said: "Our winning mentality is coming back. We're starting to get some results. "We're not just relying on the women's team pursuit winning." Trott, who won the individual points race at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, held a 14 point lead over D'Hoore going into the 100-lap race and sat on the wheel of her rival for much of the event. With five points available for the winner of each of the 10 sprints, the 22-year-old was happy to see riders who were no threat to the overall standings take the majority of them, before leaping clear to win sprint nine and secure gold with 10 laps still to go. "I'm so happy," Trott said. "The points race has never been my strongest event. I've been doing a lot of work. "My tactics were actually quite simple, all I had to do was follow Jolien. When I won the second from last sprint I knew it was over." Trott made an excellent start to the two-day omnium event, winning the scratch race and individual pursuit to give herself breathing room in the eliminator, time trial and flying lap disciplines. In the corresponding men's event, Jon Dibben, 22, finished seventh despite a technical problem in the eliminator and a crash in the final points race. In the final event with British interest, Jessica Varnish finished fifth in the women's keirin final after being handed a surprise start. The 24-year-old was due to race in the minor final but was promoted to replace Russia's Ekaterina Gnidenko, who was relegated for her involvement in a crash in the semi-finals. The chain started with a market stall in Wakefield set up by Christopher Edwards in 1974. Construction is due to start in the summer on a 30-acre (12 ha) site at Normanton, near junction 31 of the M62. It is part of a plan to create about 3,500 jobs with a nationwide expansion of 200 stores over the same period. The firm, which is based at Normanton, currently has more than 280 outlets, as well as 50 Bargain Buys shops. It employs more than 6,000 people. The new distribution centre should be completed in autumn 2016, the retailer said.

Heads at the National Association of Head Teachers conference said ministers had not been listening to their plight. They backed a motion giving their leaders licence to explore all available options - including a shorter school week - to protect education. The government insists school funding has never been higher. It says funding will rise to £41bn in the next year. Head teacher Graham Frost said at the conference in Telford that the line from the government was like "a recorded message" that came back every time the issue was raised. And this was driving heads "crazy", he said. "We are not advocating a four-and-a-half day week, we are just so despairing," said Mr Frost. He said dropping teacher hours could be necessary if a school did not have the staff to run classes safely. Alternatively, a head may make this decision to prevent schools from axing support staff for children with particular needs. Another head teacher, Clem Coady, said: "The four-and-a-half day week must be seen as the very last resort because we don't want to cut the offer we are giving to children, to parents, to families, to our staff. "But there has to be some way of forcing and opposing these government imposed cuts - they have got to overturn it." The motion also gave the NAHT executive the right to encourage its members to take other steps, such as running deficit budgets in schools or refusing to file budgets to local authorities. The NAHT will discuss further steps in its campaign to oppose school funding cuts at an executive conference in June. The National Audit Office has found schools are facing budget cuts of £3bn by 2020 because funding was not keeping pace with increased pupil numbers and the rising costs of national insurance and pension contributions. The codes consist of a series of small indentations with precise, slightly different depths, allowing for billions of different combinations. They are deciphered by a device that "reads" the dents using beams of light. Because they are made using adjustable pins during the moulding process, a different code could be embedded in - for example - individual pills. The system was developed by Sofmat Ltd, a small Yorkshire company, in collaboration with engineers at the University of Bradford. The team has now been awarded £250,000 by the government technology body Innovate UK - the final of three stages of funding, intended to see the product through to market readiness. "In a batch process, you might have a QR code and every single tablet would have the same code on it," said Sofmat director Dr Phil Harrison, "because when you're trying to change something that big, it's very difficult." By contrast, his team has concentrated on developing a "sequential marking" system. "Within the mould cavity, there are a number of pins which are each moved by a micro-actuator. By changing the pin heights... you can put a different alphanumeric code on to each tablet." With four pins making holes at 36 possible heights, the team can produce 1.7 million codes. Next they want to step up to a six-pin system, with more height variation, which will allow 14 billion variations. The global market in counterfeit goods, from medicines to motorbikes, is estimated to be worth $1.8bn (£1.2bn) every year. And that value is forecast to rise steeply in the next few years. Speaking to journalists at the British Science Festival in Bradford, Dr Harrison said Sofmat worked with pharmaceutical companies in Switzerland to decide on the best way to develop the system commercially. Because many pills are produced by injection moulding, the 3D barcodes could be incorporated into that process relatively easily. Then, hospitals or pharmacies could purchase a scanner to verify medications. This will be a "little black box, with a slot the size of a tablet", Dr Harrison said. His team hopes to have a prototype scanner finished by late 2016. "The idea is... you put a tablet into it, the tablet's scanned, then it comes out with a number. If that number corresponds to the number it should have, on the box, it tells you whether or not the tablet is real." The team is also looking at applying the codes to metal surfaces, which would be attractive for other well-known Swiss products. "We are talking to watch manufacturers at the moment, about protecting those," Dr Harrison said. Dr Elaine Brown, a senior lecturer in mechanical and process engineering at the University of Bradford, said that tackling counterfeiting was a major concern. "The dangers of counterfeiting all sorts of products are really, really massive. It's not just losing the profit of big business; it affects everybody. "If you are taking some medication, you want to know that it is the real medication, not a copy which could actually harm you." The 3D barcode system, Dr Brown added, could also help address the problem in other industries - including food, electronics, medical implants and motor vehicles. "Anything that uses moulded plastics and composites could integrate this type of barcode technology," she said. Follow Jonathan on Twitter Elections were held despite an opposition boycott and weeks of protests over President Pierre Nkurunziza's plan to seek a third term. Electoral commission spokesman Prosper Ntahorwamiye told the BBC that he was unaware of any incidents. The African Union (AU) has not sent observers - the first time it has taken such a stance against a member state. Presidential elections are due next month. Gunfire has been heard nightly in the capital, Bujumbura, and scores of people have been killed in unrest since a failed coup attempt last month. Several polling stations have been attacked in the capital and in the provinces, according to police officials quoted by the AFP news agency on Monday. One resident in the Kinindo district of the capital told the BBC's Maud Jullien that there had been gunfire and he was too scared to venture out. Witnesses told her the grenade was thrown at 0800 local time (0600 GMT) in Musaga where support for the opposition is strong. Voters queued up in several neighbourhoods seen as ruling party strongholds, while in many others, where there have been months of protests against the president's bid for a third term in office, almost no-one showed up to vote. Africa live: Latest news updates President Nkurunziza in profile What’s behind the coup bid? The electoral commission spokesman said the vote was going smoothly. Presidential spokesperson Gervais Abayeho rejected the notion that the country was not in a position to hold elections, telling the BBC's Focus on Africa radio: "Bujumbura is not the whole of Burundi - Bujumbura is a small portion of the country. The whole country is peaceful, except perhaps those areas where explosions or gunshots have been reported," he said. The AU said conditions for a free and fair vote have not been met. The European Union has also withdrawn its election observers, saying the lack of basic conditions to ensure the vote's credibility would only worsen the crisis in the country. The AU and the UN had called for the parliamentary election to be postponed. But the government rejected the demands, saying conditions were stable enough for a vote, while a delay could create a dangerous political vacuum. The presidential election was due in June but was put back to 15 July after pressure from regional leaders. Many in Bujumbura say the unrest has prevented them from registering to vote, adding that they feel the outcome of the process is already known. Several leading opposition parties have said they will boycott the election. On Sunday, the speaker of parliament, Pie Ntavyohanyuma, said he had left the country because he feared he would be killed. Tensions in Burundi have forced more than 100,000 people to flee this year. The opposition says Mr Nkurunziza's attempt to run for office again contravenes the constitution, which states a president can only serve two terms. But Mr Nkurunziza's supporters argue that he is entitled to another term because he was first elected by parliament in 2005 - not voters. The Constitutional Court ruled in favour of the president. Some 3.8 million Burundians are eligible to vote. Under the proposed legislation, those convicted of homosexual acts could face life imprisonment. The law would also make it a crime not to report gay people. Mr Museveni last month refused to sign the bill but on Friday indicated that he would approve it shortly, after receiving scientific advice. Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said a team of Ugandan scientists asked by the president for a report on homosexuality had told Mr Museveni that "there is no definitive gene responsible for homosexuality". He told the AFP news agency this meant "homosexuality is not a disease but merely an abnormal behaviour which may be learned through experiences in life". Mr Opondo said the president was under strong domestic pressure to sign the bill. The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was HIV-positive, but that clause has been dropped. Uganda already has legislation banning gay sex between men, but the proposed law sharply tightens restrictions - and covers lesbians for the first time. Promotion of homosexuality - even talking about it without condemning it - would also be punishable by a prison sentence. The US is one of Uganda's largest foreign aid donors, and in 2011 a small number of American troops were sent to help the Ugandan military fight the rebel Lord's Resistance Army. But President Obama, who once referred to the proposed law as "odious", says this relationship would become more complicated if it is approved, describing it as an affront, and a danger to, Uganda's gay community. America's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, said on Twitter that she spoke at length with the Ugandan President Museveni on Saturday night to urge him not to sign the bill. President Obama's statement didn't limit criticism to Uganda, noting an increase in reports of violence and harassment of homosexuals from Russia to Nigeria. A month ago, President Museveni refused to approve the controversial bill after it had been passed by parliament. At the time, his spokesman said that the president believed that gay people are sick but that he did not believe they should be killed, or jailed for life. "What the president has being saying is that we shall not persecute these homosexuals and lesbians. That is the point," said Tamale Mirudi. Mr Museveni has been trying to reach a compromise with MPs, because if he refuses to sign the bill, parliament can still force it through with a two-thirds vote. In a letter written to the parliamentary speaker when he blocked the bill in January, he disputed the view that homosexuality was an "alternative sexual orientation," reasoning that "You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people." Deputy First Minister John Swinney and UK Treasury minister Greg Hands are meeting in Edinburgh. Scottish ministers want a fiscal framework deal agreed this week so it can be scrutinised by Holyrood. A source close to John Swinney said a massive gap remained between the two sides, but the UK government said it was optimistic a deal could be reached. The breakthrough needed on the fiscal framework will underpin new powers for Holyrood. Mr Swinney has repeatedly said he would not sign a deal which he believes is bad for Scotland. It has been claimed the block grant ministers in Edinburgh get from the Treasury could be cut by £7bn if certain calculations are used. But the UK government believes a good deal is on the table. On Sunday, Mr Swinney pledged that key documents used to agree any new funding deal for Scotland would be published for scrutiny. He said he was working "flat out" to get a deal, adding: "With time running out, we need to make substantial progress." A source close to the deputy first minister said the Scottish government would use whatever time was possible to agree a deal. That leaves open the possibility the deadline could be extended if the Scottish Parliament still has time to look at the framework before it breaks up for the May election. Scottish Secretary David Mundell said there had been significant movement from the UK government to address Scottish government concerns over population growth. He added the framework would be reviewed after "a few years" to make sure it was fair for Scotland and the rest of the UK. The UK government has said it would not walk away from the talks. Scottish Labour has, meanwhile, called for both sides to set out the principles behind their positions on the framework. MP Ian Murray has written to Mr Hands and Mr Swinney saying the "negotiations are too important to be happening behind closed doors". Both sides have said they would not provide a running commentary on the talks.

The British Retail Consortium say that supermarkets are paying a fair price. But farmers argue that it costs them more to produce the milk than what they're paid for it, so they end up loosing money. Martin went to meet Hannah, who lives on a diary farm in Cheshire, to find out more. Wales will wear black armbands instead, while fans at Cardiff City Stadium will form a poppy mosaic before kick-off. Football's world governing body Fifa prohibits any political, religious or commercial messages on shirts. But England and Scotland will defy this in their match on Friday. Both nation's football associations will let players wear black armbands with poppy emblems and are willing to accept any punishment. Fifa has since said that reports of a ban on wearing poppies are a "distortion of the facts". Wales manager Chris Coleman defended the FAW approach on the eve of facing Serbia He said: "Of course we back the FA. There's a lot been said about it, the fact the game's live on TV tomorrow night, we're standing by the rule that Fifa put in place, we've been respectful of that and I back our decision. "Remembrance Day is today (Friday), though, and that's when we'll be showing our respects in the right manner, as we always do. "We're very respectful of Remembrance Day, we know the sacrifices that were made by the men and women who lost their lives for us. "So we'll be showing our respect today in the right and proper manner." Coleman was asked if some of the criticism aimed at the FAW stance was unfair. He replied: "That's the way it's going to be. There will be certain people, unfortunately, using it as a vehicle to give their opinion. "Whether or not they like us or not, maybe it's an excuse to have a little dig at us. "I'm quite sure other people are using it for their own benefit - that's how it is, unfortunately, sadly. "To say that we're not being respectful, given the measures we're going to today and tomorrow... the criticism will come but we don't listen to that, we'll ignore that." England Under-21 wore poppies on black armbands during their win over Italy on Thursday night. Football Association of Wales (FAW) chief executive Jonathan Ford earlier said: "Fifa have turned down a request made by the FAW for the Wales National Team to wear poppies on their shirts or on armbands. "It has therefore, been decided that Wales will wear black armbands during their 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifying match against Serbia. "The FAW naturally wishes to respect and honour those who fought and lost their lives fighting for their country. "We felt unable to take the risk of a financial penalty or point deduction. However, as we always have done at this time of year, we will be paying our respects in other ways." Members of the Flanders Welsh War Memorial at Langemark will be in attendance at the match as invited guests of the FAW. A delegation of Welsh management and players will also visit a war memorial on Remembrance Sunday.

Jonny Walton and John Collins in the double sculls, and pair Alan Sinclair and Stewart Innes also made finals. But Britain's lightweight men's four failed to make it through the semis. Katherine Copeland will not retain her Olympic title as she and Charlotte Taylor went out in the repechage of the lightweight double sculls. It leaves the British rowing team with six boats so far through to finals in Rio. Earlier, Alan Campbell reached the semi-finals of the men's single sculls by finishing second in his heat. The 33-year-old was the fifth fastest qualifier, 4.97 seconds outside the leading time, set by Croatia's European champion Damir Martin. Campbell won bronze at London 2012, and is the first Northern Irishman to compete at four Olympic Games. Since returning to rowing two years ago, Grainger had struggled to find the same kind of dominant form that helped her win gold alongside Anna Watkins in 2012. However, Grainger and Thornley impressed in their semi-final in Rio, finishing just under two seconds behind Poland's Magdalena Fularczyk-Kozlowska and Natalia Madaj. Their hopes were boosted further as the world champion pair from New Zealand and highly-fancied Australians both failed to qualify for the final. "Getting a medal is always the most thrilling, exciting, wonderful thing you can do at an Olympics," said Grainger. "Right now it is about getting the best performance out of the two of us and if that's fast enough that's where we want to be." Thornley, 28, said: "We're in an Olympic final. It probably is our best performance as a pair. There's a lot of pressure in a semi-final. "There's all to play for and we haven't shown everything yet. Today is a giant leap forward; we've put a lot of work in the last six weeks." "That's a step up from anything Grainger and Thornley have shown over the last two years since Katherine came back. "The best thing is not only have they qualified, they would have come second in the other semi, so they are right in the mix for a medal. "The Poles might get them again, they have been the form crew of the season, but they are in the mix."

A Shelflife phone app links stories and pictures provided by donors to tags attached to the goods. Browsers in Oxfam shops can scan the tags using the app to find out about an individual item's past. The charity believes it can sell things more easily when they have stories attached to them. "Someone might donate a record and add that it was the song that they danced to at their wedding to its tag," said Oxfam's Emma Joy. "We hope the pilot will prove that items with stories are more valuable and establish the monetary value of a story," she said. Shelflife uses technology developed for a project called Tales of Things and Electronic Memory (Totem), a collaboration of academics at five UK universities. Totem has built a database of more than 6,000 objects which have been linked to their stories with tags. Each Totem object has its own Twitter account, and tweets are sent out automatically to an object's "followers" every time its tag is scanned or new information is added to its story. "We want to make every Oxfam shop into an interactive social museum," said Andrew Hudson-Smith, director of the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London and a contributor to the Totem project. "Second-hand goods are essentially meaningless, but when they are tagged we give them meaning," he said. The Shelflife system uses QR Codes - black and white patterns designed to be read easily by mobile phones - printed on tags. The Totem project has supplied Oxfam with 10,000 tags with unique QR Codes for the Shelflife trial. Oxfam customers use the Shelflife iPhone app - a similar Android app is in the works - to read the QR Codes and find out about an item or add to its history. Oxfam is trying out Shelflife at 10 shops around Manchester, and the charity hopes to extend it to all of its shops if, as Oxfam expects, the pilot scheme shows that adding stories to them makes them more valuable. Shelflife will also be used to add stories to new products that Oxfam sells in its shops. The bone shows clear signs of cut marks with stone tools, and has been radiocarbon dated to 12,500 years ago. This places humans in Ireland in the Palaeolithic era; previously, the earliest evidence of people came from the Mesolithic, after 10,000 years ago. The brown bear bone had been stored in a cardboard box at the National Museum of Ireland for almost a century. Since the 1970s, the oldest evidence of human occupation in Ireland has been the hunter-gatherer settlement of Mount Sandel on the banks of the River Bann, County Derry, which dates to 8,000 years ago. Antiquarians and scientists have been searching for an Irish Palaeolithic since the second half of the 19th Century. Over this 150-year period, occasional Palaeolithic tools have surfaced but in each case have been dismissed as objects originating from Britain that had simply been carried along by ice sheets or other geological processes. During the Palaeolithic, Ireland was already an island, cut off from the rest of northwest Europe, so nomadic hunter-gatherer groups would have arrived by boat. The brown bear patella - or knee bone - dates to a time at the end of the Ice Age when the climate was considerably colder. In addition to brown bears, humans would have come into contact with - and possibly hunted - giant deer, red deer, reindeer, hare and wolves. The discovery was made by Dr Marion Dowd, an archaeologist at IT Sligo; and Dr Ruth Carden, from the National Museum of Ireland. "Archaeologists have been searching for the Irish Palaeolithic since the 19th Century, and now, finally, the first piece of the jigsaw has been revealed. This find adds a new chapter to the human history of Ireland," said Dr Dowd. The adult bear bone was one of thousands of bones originally discovered in Alice and Gwendoline Cave, County Clare, in 1903. The excavators published a report on their investigations and noted that the bear bone had knife marks. The bone has been stored in a collection at the National Museum of Ireland since the 1920s. In 2010 and 2011, Dr Carden re-analysed and documented the museum's animal bone collection. As a specialist in cave archaeology, Dr Dowd became interested in the bone from the butchered bear and the two scientists sought to carry out radiocarbon dating of the Chrono Centre at Queen's University Belfast. "When a Palaeolithic date was returned, it came as quite a shock. Here we had evidence of someone butchering a brown bear carcass and cutting through the knee probably to extract the tendons," said Dr Dowd. The examinations determined that the cut marks were made on fresh bone, confirming they were of the same date as the patella, and therefore that humans were in Ireland during the Palaeolithic period. "This made sense as the location of the marks spoke of someone trying to cut through the tough knee joint, perhaps someone who was inexperienced," explains Dr Dowd. "In their repeated attempts, they left seven marks on the bone surface. The implement used would probably have been something like a long flint blade." He said businesses will have to pay higher wages but will pay lower taxes in return - while workers will get higher pay but fewer benefits. This created a "new centre" in British politics and was a "fair deal" for all, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Labour has attacked the Budget for being too hard on the poor and called the National Living Wage a "con". Budget Calculator: How will the Budget affect you? The Institute for Fiscal Studies, in its Budget analysis, said Mr Osborne was "plain wrong" to argue that the National Living Wage he announced on Wednesday would compensate for benefit cuts and said it will cost three million families an average of £1,000 a year. IFS director Paul Johnson told BBC News: "The cuts will be bigger for people in work than they will be for people out of work and in the new universal credit system it will reduce the incentive for people to move in to work." He also questioned whether another of Mr Osborne's announcements, a four year freeze on public sector pay, was sustainable as it will leave public sector pay at its lowest level compared to private sector pay since records began. "The tax and welfare changes between them mean that poorer households have lost quite significantly and as a result of yesterday's Budget, much more significantly than anything that has happened to richer households," added Mr Johnson. Downing Street said the combination of the living wage, higher personal tax allowance and welfare changes meant the typical family with a full time worker on the minimum wage would be better off in 2020. Mr Osborne unveiled the National Living Wage in a surprise announcement at the end of his Budget speech on Wednesday. Paid to over-25s, it will start at £7.20 and rise to £9 an hour by 2020. But a £4.5bn cut to tax credits, part of a £12bn package of welfare cuts announced on Wednesday, will kick in next April, leading Labour to accuse Mr Osborne of "pulling the rug from under" many poor families. Shadow Chancellor Chris Leslie said: "Don't underestimate how important those tax credits have been for many, many people who will be waking up this morning and, I think, left reeling by the massive reduction to their quality of life that will come because of the nature of this set of decisions." Tax credits were introduced in 2003 by Gordon Brown to top-up the wages of low paid workers but Mr Osborne said their cost had ballooned to an unsustainable £30bn a year and he wanted to make businesses give their workers a pay rise instead. He will also make firms fund more apprenticeships through a new levy. The chancellor said there were some "really great British companies" but others that "frankly have taken a free ride" by not training their own workforce and using the training that others have provided. He said Britain has a "welfare system that is unsustainable" and that we "can't have a welfare system that just grows and grows and grows". He said his aim was to create a welfare system that was "fair to those who need it and fair to those who pay for it". George Osborne's stated aim was to create what he called a "new settlement". That's politician's code for re-writing the rules of politics to suit your side. So it is that he did something rather surprising - slowing and softening spending and welfare cuts now having promised faster and deeper cuts in the run up to the election. More from Nick Robert Peston's full analysis Budget reaction in quotes The living wage will give a pay rise to six million workers but is expected to cost 60,000 jobs, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility. But Mr Osborne said other measures in his Budget would help create a million more jobs. London Mayor and Conservative MP Boris Johnson - seen as a potential rival to George Osborne to be the next Tory leader - said the National Living Wage was a "huge step in the right direction" but added that firms needed to pay the higher existing London Living Wage of £9.15 an hour to properly offset benefit cuts. He told BBC News: "The problem with the tax credits is that they have all these cliffs and poverty traps that discourage people from earning more. "The answer is to get more money into their pockets through the London Living Wage." £47.2bn raised through tax increases £34.9bn raised from cuts to welfare Inheritance tax threshold rises to £1m Corporation tax cut to 18% Personal allowance rises to £11,000 National hourly "living wage" by 2020 of £9 The chancellor has also been criticised by a Conservative MP for protecting pensioners at the expense of young people. Dr Phillip Lee questioned what he described as "this apparent desire to ring-fence pensioners from the realities of the financial position that this country finds itself in". He said the government needed to reduce the amount it spends on "our pensioners and on the post-work period of our lives". The Treasury confirmed the living wage would apply to both the public and private sectors. The Local Government Association said it welcomed the move, but warned it would add a "potential upward pressure" to council budgets and said it expected local authorities to be compensated. Business groups gave a mixed reaction to the National Living Wage pledge, with the Institute of Directors saying it was "time for companies to increase pay" but the CBI said the government was taking "a big gamble" on wage increases that industry might not be able to deliver. The Living Wage Foundation director Rhys Moore said the proposed £9 rate was a "massive victory" for campaigners, but that it was "effectively a higher national minimum wage and not a living wage", due to the different ways the two rates are calculated. The TUC welcomed the announcement but said Mr Osborne was "giving with one hand taking with the other" and "massive cuts in support for working people will hit families with children hardest". James Anderson set England on the victory trail by removing Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman inside the first hour in a brilliant spell of swing bowling. Captain MS Dhoni and Praveen Kumar delayed the inevitable with an entertaining partnership of 75 but Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan mopped up the tail as India were bundled out for 244. England's victory by an innings and 242 runs gives them an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series and provides emphatic confirmation of their new status as the best team in the world. India began the day in a hopeless position, still 486 runs adrift of making England bat again after the home side had racked up 710-7 in reply the tourists' 224. And their predicament worsened when Anderson's first ball of the day was angled across Gambhir, caught his outside edge and was snaffled by Graeme Swann stooping low to his left at second slip. Dravid played at a full length delivery that moved away off the seam and was caught behind, although replays showed the bat hit his foot and not the ball. Laxman was out to an almost identical delivery, the ball brilliantly angled in to the batsman and moving away off the seam before taking the outside of the blade. Suresh Raina looked to be getting on top of Swann as he carted him for two fours in a row, but England's off-spinner responded by firing down a flatter delivery that trapped the left-hander on his crease. At the other end, Sachin Tendulkar remained unflustered through the mayhem, timing the ball to perfection with eight boundaries and raising the prospect of a defiant century. But on 40 not out, disaster struck as the Little Master was run out backing up a Dhoni drive. Swann got his hand to the ball and deflected it on to the stumps, with replays confirming the bails were off just before Tendulkar was able to ground his bat. With the crowd - hundreds of them in fancy dress - singing and dancing in the stands, Kumar got into the party mood by smashing Swann into the stands three times. He cracked 40 off 18 balls before one slog too many picked out Ravi Bopara at cover to leave India eight down.

Andrew Strauss and his team united in a joyous huddle in the middle before shaking hands with the entire India team as they left the field. After basking in the glory of third straight thrashing of India, England's minds will turn to inflicting a series whitewash when the fourth Test starts at the Oval on Thursday. Listen to Jonathan Agnew and Geoff Boycott's review of the final day's play on the TMS podcast. Kris Doolan seized upon an awful Lennard Sowah header to swivel and fire the hosts ahead with his third goal in two games, before twice being denied by Hearts goalkeeper Jack Hamilton. The Jam Tarts lost frustrated striker Esmael Goncalves to a second yellow card after the break. And Liam Lindsay blasted in Partick's second to seal the three points. Doolan is one of those unheralded Premiership strikers who consistently comes up with the goals season after season. He got two last weekend against Hamilton, and it took him only six minutes to get on the scoresheet here. Dreadful defending from Sowah certainly helped, his header failing to clear the danger, and the ball falling to Doolan in the six-yard box, who turned smartly to hook a shot into the corner of the net. That was his 98th goal in Thistle colours, and given the fragile confidence of the visitors - still licking their wounds from their midweek Edinburgh derby defeat - Doolan must have fancied his chances of claiming his century. He found the net again in the 26th minute, latching onto Adam Barton's mis-hit shot, but the flag went up for offside. Hamilton had to rush out to deny Doolan the opportunity to shoot midway inside the box, then produced a superb reaction stop to beat away the striker's bullet header. All season long Partick have been creating chances but not taking them. Now with Doolan finally hitting form it could have a transformative effect on their season. There was a blow for Hearts before the game when veteran defender Aaron Hughes pulled out of the team with a calf injury. They certainly missed his assurance and authority. Head coach Ian Cathro opted to push Sowah - normally a left-back - into central defence. Faycal Rherras came into the starting line-up at left-back. As well as being culpable for the opener, Sowah cut an uncomfortable figure all afternoon. The home team - and the home crowd - sensed it, and revelled in it. Every time Thistle attacked the alarm bells rang at the back for Hearts. The question has to be - would moving Krystian Nowak to centre-back have been a better and more natural fit? This was so far from the response Hearts were looking for after their Scottish Cup humbling by Hibernian on Wednesday. Not only were they unconvincing at the back, they were also toothless up-front. When they did show their teeth it was in entirely the wrong fashion. Goncalves earned his second yellow for a late challenge on Christie Elliott, having mouthed off at the referee for his first. The striker let down his team-mates when they needed all the help they could get. That came midway through the second half and there seemed little hope for Hearts after that. Lindsay fired home to clinch a thoroughly deserved the three points and bring a dismal week for the Gorgie club and boss Cathro to a close. Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "I thought we were magnificent today. Even before the sending-off I thought we deserved to be well on top. "We missed a great chance at 1-0 and I thought that would come back to haunt us but thankfully it didn't. "We tried to make it a bit ugly at the start. We like to pass it but the pitch doesn't always make it easy for that. We tried to be as aggressive as we could. I thought we did the ugly side very well today." Hearts head coach Ian Cathro: "Ultimately it is an unacceptable result for this football club, and lots of the performance was in the same category. We suffered the [loss of a] goal early on through simple, simple individual defending things that we need to do better. "Nobody [here] is in the best moment of their lives. It has been a bad week for this club. "We have the responsibility to improve those things and everybody in these moments has to look inside themselves and find more, find strength and we have to stay focused together and deal with what we have to deal with. "We must move forward very, very quickly." Match ends, Partick Thistle 2, Heart of Midlothian 0. Second Half ends, Partick Thistle 2, Heart of Midlothian 0. Attempt saved.

A black Vauxhall Vectra saloon left the A390 near St Austell in Cornwall just after 21:45 BST on Sunday, police said. The female passenger, who was in her 40s, died at the scene while the male driver was taken to hospital with "serious significant" injuries. The road was closed for eight hours for investigations. Officers say they are appealing for witnesses to the crash at Andrew Toms Cars at Hewas Water. More on the garage forecourt smash and other Devon & Cornwall news here You don't have to be in a team to get involved, simply sign up as an individual and you will be put into a team. There will be special 'squad-building' events before the tournament for individuals to meet their new team-mates. So if you've been looking for an excuse to get back into football then this is for you. There are 10 different categories open to all footballers, male and female, from under 14s to walking football for the over 50s. Paul Baker played in the first ever FA People's Cup, signing up as an individual in the veterans category in Manchester. I saw the FA People's Cup advertised on Match of the Day and because it was an FA tournament I really wanted to play. I couldn't get a team together but I knew I had to play in it. It was such a big deal and I didn't want to miss out so I signed up as an individual. On the day I was assigned a squad, we had a little practice time and decided who was going to play where. We gelled well together but we weren't as good as the permanent teams. We had a laugh and shared a great sense of achievement through playing. I was inspired by the event. Everyone grows up watching the FA Cup so it's incredible to be part if it! I scored a goal in last year's FA Cup - how many people can say that? No matter what your age or ability you can sign up and see how you get on. You don't even have to register as a team to be involved. I have signed up as an individual again this year and I'm really looking forward it. I would urge people sign up as it is a big thing to kick a ball in a tournament that carries the FA name. "I will keep playing as long as possible" I have been playing football as long as I can remember. I am now 44 and I still play at least once a week. I'm not in a team but I am part of a mailing list so I can pick a game up on a Monday night or find out about games on social media. I had a hip operation four years ago but this hasn't stopped me playing. Nine months after the operation I was back on the pitch. I had to rebuild the muscle in the joint and after playing, my hip would hurt but I wanted to play and the surgeon said it wasn't doing any damage so I put up with the pain. I am now part of a fitness academy which keeps me in shape both physically and mentally and will hopefully help me to keep on playing as long as possible. "I have suffered with depression and it is football that that has made a difference to me" Football is my passion, it's one of the few things in life where you get out what you put in. It is hard to sum up exactly why I love it so much, it's just a beautiful game. I have had depression and it is football that that has made a difference to me. It's sport that I wake up for. When the trauma and depression comes it's about finding that bit of something to keep going; football gives me a strong sense of togetherness and mindfulness. I have questioned everything in life but there is something about kicking a ball that just helps. Once you've played a game, you feel a sense of achievement and that helps keep you going.

They had boarded the Abu Dhabi-bound aircraft at Manchester Airport when they received a text message about their relative's condition. The flight, which had been taxiing towards the runway, returned to the gate so the couple could rush to their grandson's bedside. He died later on the same night. The couple's travel agent Becky Stephenson told the BBC the 30 March incident was "very unusual". "I've been in the travel business for 25 years and never heard of this happening," she said. Ms Stephenson, who is based in Bradford, praised the Etihad Airways pilot and said she had not heard of an airline going "above and beyond with their customer service" in such a way. "I'm just really grateful that my customers could get back to see him," she said. "My customers were so grateful that staff were very helpful and they were taken care of." "The flight still went ahead after the couple got off," Ms Stephenson added. "Etihad have said they can use the ticket again on a different date. "But my customers are not thinking of when they're flying back out again." Alexander Yakovenko said the embassy was "shrinking" and questioned whether the UK wanted "an adequate Russian diplomatic presence". He also criticised the prime minister and foreign secretary for giving what he said were "anti-Russian statements". The Foreign Office said there was no policy to delay visas. Mr Yakovenko said Russia did not have enough diplomatic staff in London because as people returned home or went on to other postings, visas for their replacements were not being issued. "The embassy is shrinking and if it continues the embassy will be reduced further. People cannot be replaced because the visas are not being issued," he said. "I hope this problem will be resolved under present government." He added: "Here in London, we simply do not understand the strategy of this country on visa issues." Mr Yakovenko's comments come amid public clashes between the UK and Russia over Syria, Ukraine and the killing of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. Earlier this month, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told MPs Russia risked becoming a pariah nation over its involvement in bombing the Syrian city of Aleppo and urged protesters to demonstrate outside its embassy. And Prime Minister Theresa May this week urged European leaders to send a "robust united message" to Moscow over the bombing campaign. Also on Friday, there was further attention on the relationship between the countries as two British warships shadowed an aircraft carrier and other Russian naval ships as they passed the UK on their way to Syria. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We have made clear to the Russians that the queues need to be cleared on both sides, and they have agreed work with us on this. "We regularly discuss the visa exchange process with the Russians at official level and this requires both the UK and Russia to work together to ensure the effective operation of our respective embassies."

Having lost their 2015 World Cup semi-final to Japan thanks to an injury-time own goal, individual errors again proved decisive. The Dutch had already taken a 1-0 lead thanks to Vivianne Miedema's first-half header when Fara Williams's poor header was seized on by Danielle van de Donk. And another stoppage-time own goal sealed England's fate when Mille Bright turned in Lieke Martens' shot. Jade Moore hit the post and England wasted several good second-half chances, but they could not pierce the hosts' defence. Although reaching the last four may be deemed as a relative success in some eyes, and despite becoming the first England manager since Sir Alf Ramsey to reach two consecutive major tournament semi-finals, Mark Sampson and his players felt they could win the competition. After finishing as the top European team in the World Cup, and being the highest ranked team left at Euro 2017, they seemed well set to take another step on the road to their ambition of becoming the "world's number one team". But they were well beaten by a Dutch team which were technically superior, led by Van de Donk, and roared on by a record crowd of 27,093 for a women's football match in the Netherlands. The Dutch will now be favourites to beat Denmark in their first European Championship final, while England will have to regroup for the 2019 World Cup in France, perhaps having wasted their best chance of silverware with this group of players. England were called a "long-ball" team by their opponents in the build-up to this game, which was a repeat of the Euro 2009 semi-final, and for periods in the game they looked one-dimensional. By contrast, the Dutch were more patient on the ball and in Van de Donk, they had a midfielder who pulled the strings before she put the game beyond England's reach with an opportunistic finish. The fact that she took advantage of a mistake by her Arsenal team-mate Williams, who tried to nod back to Siobhan Chamberlain, will make it tough on the England midfielder, who could yet end a 16-year international career on a sour note. Williams, who has amassed a record 165 caps including the Euro 2009 semi-final where England beat the Netherlands, has only been a bit-part player in this campaign but replaced the suspended Jill Scott in midfield. But when the 33-year-old returns to training at her club she will also be given another reminder of a torrid England night after Miedema recently signed for the Gunners. The 21-year-old striker, who now has 43 international goals, powered in a back-post header to show the kind of ruthlessness that England were missing. For all the Dutch possession, England did limit them to few chances and the Netherlands' twin threats down the wings - Martens and Shanice van de Sanden - were largely kept quiet until Martens forced a late own goal from Bright to seal England's misery. Despite missing Scott's energy in midfield, Sampson's team were not as clinical as previously seen at Euro 2017, where they have become the tournament's top scorers, and they paid a heavy price. Once Miedema had opened the scoring, Moore hit the post from a deflected header and Ellen White had a good penalty appeal turned down. Sampson was so animated in his reaction that he ripped his shirt. But England rarely tested Sari van Veenendaal - another Arsenal player - in the Dutch goal. Jodie Taylor also shot straight at her Gunners club-mate from close range late on, but could still finish as the tournament top scorer with five goals. But that will be no consolation to her or an England team who failed to take advantage of their ranking and who beat the Netherlands in Tilburg last November. England head coach Mark Sampson: "Over the course of the tournament, we have been one of the of best teams here. But, in tournament football, small things can make a big difference. "I made some mistakes, for sure. I'll go away and reflect. I'll look at it all and then do a better job next time. "We didn't get the decisions. But I'm incredibly proud of the players tonight. "They've worked so, so hard over the past year." Match ends, Netherlands Women 3, England 0. Second Half ends, Netherlands Women 3, England 0. Own Goal by Millie Bright, England.

Sullivan admitted he and Wood had "dodged a bullet" after draws with India and Denmark before an emphatic victory against the Netherlands to guarantee their progress. "We left ourselves work to do, but got the job done," Sullivan said. Scotland pair Marc Warren and Richie Ramsay also progressed to the quarters. Players were wearing microphones and were encouraged to interact with spectators throughout the event. The players had emerged through a cloud of smoke, waving their national flags, as they were introduced on the first tee and Sullivan made an even more enthusiastic entrance, chest-bumping with the event mascot. "I know we're having a good time out there, but you still want to represent your country well. We're both pretty patriotic and when we go out there we want to do the job," he added. "I really enjoy letting myself go and having a good time. "The atmosphere from the start has been brilliant, and there has been a lot of home support which is great for us. Hopefully that can push us on tomorrow and I think this can really be something big in the future for golf. "You won't get away from the traditional 72-hole [events], but I think a few more events like this could really transform golf." England will face Italy - represented by Matteo Manassero and Renato Paratore - in the last eight, with Scotland taking on Portugal after both sides qualified with a game to spare by winning their first two matches. With a point awarded for each hole won in the six-hole contest, Scotland beat Belgium 3-2 thanks to an eagle on the last, with Warren and Ramsay then producing another eagle and three birdies to defeat Spain by the same score. "We were in the Group of Death and knew we would have to play well to finish in the top two," Warren said. "To qualify before our final game was definitely a bonus." In the other quarter-finals Thailand will face Australia with Denmark taking on France. Wales were eliminated after two defeats and a draw in the group won by Australia. Sixteen teams, each representing their country, are split into groups of four, with the top two in each group advancing to Sunday's quarter-finals, with the semis and final following on the same day. The greensomes format sees both players tee off, with one ball then being chosen and alternate shots taken. Each of the six holes has a theme, including a long-drive contest, nearest to the pin and a 40-second shot clock. The European Tour has offered a prize fund of 1m euros (£850,000) for the event, which is similar to the World Super Six tournament that took place in Perth in February. Around 150 gifts, worth about £3,000, were taken from a disused ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London. The presents were due to be given out at a Christmas party on 11 December. Details emerged earlier as Cosmic - the Children of St Mary's Intensive Care charity - launched an appeal to replace the stolen items. Also taken during the theft were Christmas decorations and a Santa suit that has been used to entertain children at the hospital for more than a decade. The paediatric intensive care unit at St Mary's treats children for conditions including meningitis, sepsis or trauma. Tina Halton, lead play specialist St Mary's, said: "It's really sad that something like this could happen. It's hard being in hospital at Christmas and it's hard to have a sick child. That's why we tried to fill it the hospital with nice things. "I was so sad when I heard that we may not have our Santa suit this year. The children just love it, it's magical." "A lot of families haven't been out to an event since their child was diagnosed as ill. Most people don't realise how tough it is to go to a party with a sick child," she added. The Christmas party and a carol concert are due to go ahead, but the head of fundraising at Cosmic, Vicky Rees, said the stolen items will be difficult to replace. "All the gifts have been specially selected for the children, as they may have special needs or requirements," she said. Det Sgt Tom Hirst, from the Met Police, said: "This is an awful crime at this time of year and hard to imagine what kind of person would steal gifts so clearly destined for sick children to make their lives a little brighter this festive season. "We are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to please contact us as soon as possible."

Adrian Ernest Bayley, 41, has admitted murdering 29-year-old Jill Meagher on 22 September last year at Brunswick in Melbourne. He had admitted rape at an earlier hearing but had been due to stand trial in September on the murder charge. He was remanded in custody until 11 June. Ms Meagher's family was not at the Supreme Court in the state of Victoria for Bayley's appearance on Friday. Ms Meagher, who was originally from Drogheda, County Louth, moved to Australia from Ireland in 2009 with her husband, Thomas. She worked for ABC radio but went missing during a night out with colleagues. Her body was discovered six days later buried on the outskirts of the city. The BBC's correspondent in Sydney, Phil Mercer, said there had been a huge turnout for Ms Meagher's memorial rally and he had never seen "public revulsion on that scale". "A few weeks after Jill Meagher was murdered a crowd of about 30,000 people marched through the inner city district of Brunswick, in Melbourne, to remember Jill Meagher and also to highlight the broader concerns about violence against women," he said. "Certainly, this case did touch a very raw nerve in the city of Melbourne. "Today, at least for Jill Meagher's family and the people who knew her at the national broadcaster, ABC, perhaps this will be a bit of closure for them." He said the Meagher family had been "spared the anguish" of a high profile trial because of the change of plea by Bayley.

A man charged with the murder of an Irish woman in Australia has changed his plea to guilty.

The 23-year-old, who had two years left on his previous contract, has committed to the club until June 2019. Barrow made 25 appearances last season and became the first Gambian to score in the Premier League after finding the net against Bournemouth in March. He is among the Swans squad which travels to America on Thursday for a two-game tour as part of the club's pre-season preparations. Wales Office minister Guto Bebb announced plans for the meeting at the Royal Welsh Show on Tuesday. Decent mobile connectivity is "vital" for small rural firms to develop and grow their business, he said. The Welsh Government said it "regularly" meets with mobile phone operators to discuss issues. The summit is expected to include representatives from farmers' unions, landowners, councils and the country's four mobile operators. Mr Bebb told an Ofcom reception at the Royal Welsh Show more than a quarter of a million people in Wales work for small or medium-sized firms that need good broadband and mobile phone reception to make a living. "It is vital for small and medium-size companies and home-based enterprises to develop and grow their business in the rural Welsh economy," he said. "We now rightfully expect our mobile devices to work reliably wherever we are, be it at home, at work, in a car, or in the fields of Powys. "That's why, building on the discussions at this event, we will convene a summit with Ofcom, the mobile network operators and other key stakeholders to formally consider the issues surrounding poor mobile connectivity in Wales." Mr Bebb also reiterated calls, made by Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns earlier this year, for planning restrictions on masts in Wales to be relaxed as they have been in England. Earlier this year, the former Chancellor George Osborne announced revised planning restrictions which would allow masts up to 25m (82ft) to be built in England without planning permission. Mr Bebb said: "I want Wales to be in a position where operators find it at least as easy as England to invest." A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Officials regularly meet with mobile phone operators to discuss telecommunications issues, including those related to the current permitted development rights for telephone masts. "We are currently considering our options to ensure we have the right regulatory approach for Wales." Fenelon, 20, has made eight appearances since joining in November and scored in the win over Portsmouth in that month. "Shamir has done well in his time here and I'm pleased to be able to keep him for another month," said Rovers manager Micky Adams. "He's quick, lively, causes defenders problems and has given us something different in our attacking options." The former Rochdale and Torquay loanee is available for the FA Cup tie against Swansea City on Saturday, Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot was expected to confirm in a letter to David Cameron that it would be delayed until after the election on 7 May. The inquiry began its work in 2009 and held its last public hearing in 2011. Plaid Cymru MP Elfyn Llwyd has been critical of the way the UK went to war in Iraq. He was involved in the high-profile attempts from 2004 onwards to impeach the then Prime Minister Tony Blair for misleading the UK Parliament over the war in Iraq. He told BBC's Good Morning Wales: "This prolonged delay - remembering it's over five years since they started - the millions of pounds of public funds going into it, I think it's an insult to those who lost loved ones out there and I also think it undermines the credibility of the whole report and its recommendations at the end of the day." The 28-year-old was cited over a clash with Toulon hooker Guilhem Guirado during the Champions Cup game in France on 13 December. Healy will however face another hearing at a later date to be heard by a different judicial officer. An initial charge of striking with the knee was not proven, but was amended. Welsh judicial officer Roger Morris amended the charge to "dangerous charging or obstructing or grabbing of an opponent without the ball, including shouldering". Healy appealed successfully against the amended sanction, but an EPRC statement said "the original citing complaint against the player should be reheard at a later date by a different independent judicial officer from the disciplinary hearing". Healy was cleared to play in last Saturday's return fixture with Toulon as he waited for his appeal to be heard and featured as a second-half replacement. He will now be available for the crunch clash at Thomond Park. "The appeal committee determined that the decision of the independent judicial officer at a disciplinary hearing on Thursday, 17 December 2015 should be set aside, and Healy is therefore free to play with immediate effect," read the EPRC statement. "However, the appeal committee also decided that the original citing complaint against the player should be reheard at a later date by a different independent judicial officer from the disciplinary hearing." Ski-Scotland said the season had 235,303 skier days and generated about £23.7m for the Scottish economy. But that was down on the November 2012 to May 2013 season when there were 290,996 skier days, raising more than £29m. High winds and snow that was too deep have been blamed for the fall. Ski centre staff were sometimes spending more time digging out runs, tows and chairlifts than they were selling tickets. In total, the latest season had 441 operational days across Scotland's five resorts - CairnGorm, Glencoe, Glenshee, Nevis Range and The Lecht. Heather Negus, of Ski-Scotland, said: "Back at the end of January, there was deeper snow on most of Scotland's upper pistes than there was in world-renowned resorts in the Alps, Pyrenees and even the Rockies. "In fact, some pistes in the Highlands were twice as deep as those overseas - and the snow kept on coming and coming." A skier day means one person who skis or snowboards on one day. Many of the same people return to the slopes several times during the season. Wickham, 22, elbowed Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen in the face during the two sides' Premier League match at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Spurs won 3-1, but Vertonghen suffered a knee injury in the incident. Despite admitting the charge, Wickham had argued against the standard three-game ban, but the Independent Regulatory Commission rejected that. The incident happened in the 69th minute of the match as the pair jostled for position when a corner was being taken, with Vertonghen landing awkwardly after being elbowed. The 28-year-old was immediately subbed and it was later revealed that he had damaged his medial knee ligaments, although Spurs have not stated how long he will be out of action for. Wickham will miss his side's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Stoke on Saturday, a Premier League game against Bournemouth and either an away match at Swansea or the FA Cup replay against Stoke, if that is required. Crystal Palace are 11th in the Premier League and this week added former Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor to their squad. Richard Benyon, Theresa May, Adam Afriyie, John Redwood and Phillip Lee were all re-elected with increased majorities. Fellow Tories Alok Sharma and Rob Wilson held off opposition challenges in Reading West and Reading East. The only seat not to go blue was in Slough, where Fiona Mactaggart increased her majority for Labour. Despite a bruising night for her party nationally, Mrs Mactaggart admitted the campaign locally had felt "extremely positive". "The people of Britain have grown up realising that after the recession, any party in government had to take on tough decisions," she said. "I don't think that makes it easy for the opposition." Labour would have fancied their chances of taking at least one of the two seats in Reading from the Conservatives, but their anticipated challenge failed to materialise. Alok Sharma slightly increased his majority in Reading West to 6,650 while Rob Wilson weathered a slight fall in his Reading East advantage as the Liberal Democrat vote fell by 20%. Rob Wilson said "Britain had chosen" to continue with the long-term economic plan of the Conservatives. He said: "Tomorrow we start the hard work of finishing that job, but today I'm off for a bacon sandwich and a scotch whiskey." He added that a third Thames bridge for Reading would be one of his priorities in the next parliament. Re-elected Maidenhead MP Theresa May said in her victory speech she was "honoured" to be voted back in. But speaking on BBC Radio Berkshire she avoided answering the question of whether she wanted to remain Home Secretary: "I've always taken a very simple view in politics that actually you wait to be asked and whatever job you're asked to do you just get on and do it to the best of your ability." In nearby Windsor, Adam Afriyie was equally buoyant. "I feel incredibly energised and I'm really just overwhelmed by the level of support," he said. "I feel like I'm ready to get on and protect our constituency in the wider national picture." The smiles were equally as broad for Richard Benyon in Newbury as he more than doubled his 12,248 majority from 2010 to more than 26,000. He said he knew what style of campaigning his constituents liked: "My judgement locally is that people in West Berkshire like a positive message, and every piece of literature that I've written is about my record and about what I want to achieve/ "That cuts more ice with West Berkshire people than me slagging off my opponents." "This is one of the most exciting, most invigorating and most demanding constituencies to represent and I feel very privileged to continue to represent it in parliament," he said. "It's a challenge I absolutely relish." Phillip Lee benefitted from a drop in the Liberal Democrat vote in Bracknell of 15% to return to parliament with a majority of more than 20,000. Former Conservative leadership challenger John Redwood increased his majority by almost 11,000 in Wokingham as the Liberal Democrats experienced a similar decline in their share of the vote. A former head of drama at ITV Wales, he was the first chairman of Ffilm Cymru Wales, the agency promoting Welsh film and drama across the world. He helped develop drama in the early days of Welsh broadcaster S4C, including the hit series A Mind to Kill - Yr Heliwr, starring Phillip Madoc. He was also one of the launch directors for the BBC soap EastEnders in 1985. The chair of S4C Huw Jones said Mr Edwards was "incredibly talented". "He had a strong commitment to film and to the efforts to develop and promote Welsh and Welsh-language films," said Mr Jones. "He believed that films held a deeper worth than purely entertainment, and that it played an important role in building and defining a nation and society." Pauline Burt, the chief executive of Ffilm Cymru Wales added: "He is a man who cared deeply and dedicated his life to getting unheard voices heard, both in-front of and behind the camera. "He was a personal support to the team here and to many, many writers, directors, producers, actors, crew, friends and family, and he will be deeply missed." His career spanned four decades, and as well as pioneering the back-to-back filming of A Mind to Kill in Welsh and English, he had producer credits on the iconic Welsh drama The District Nurse and the classic comedy series Satellite City. ITV Wales described him as a "giant of the industry". "Peter will be remembered as a passionate advocate for Welsh drama and for the Welsh independent sector. Our deepest sympathy goes to his family," said joint acting head of news and programmes, Jonathan Hill. The Cobblers lost 2-1 to Walsall on Saturday, despite a first-half lead. Edinburgh said: "We need to get them [the players] in the mindset. We have done that against Coventry. We took the lead, we won the game, so we're capable. "It's not that we haven't done it, but we haven't done it regularly enough." Northampton, 16th in League One, now have two home games in four days, with the visit of Chesterfield on Saturday followed by Swindon on Tuesday. The Cobblers led through John-Joe O'Toole's goal against Walsall at the weekend but two second-half goals turned the game around, and Edinburgh wants his side to learn how to see games out. "Rather than being a team unlucky in defeat, we need to be a team which is lucky to win and we need to change our mentality," he added. "We need to flip that on its head, but it has to come from within and we have to start seeing games out." Pauline Chai, 70, of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, claims their assets are worth at least £205m and wants half. Khoo Kay Peng, 78, a non-executive chairman of Laura Ashley Holdings, argues she should receive about £9m. Mr Justice Bodley told the couple: "You are not in the first flush of youth." He added: "If arrangements were made, you could live the rest of your lives in considerable comfort." More than £6m has been spent on lawyers since their marriage broke down. The couple, who both come from Malaysia, married in 1970 and have five children. The hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London comes after Ms Chai claimed victory in the fight over jurisdiction for the case, after saying the pair had moved their home to Berhamsted before separating. Dr Khoo had argued that because their marital home was in Malaysia, a judge there should make decisions over money division. He labelled Ms Chai a "forum shopper", believing she wanted to have the hearing in England because an English judge would be more generous. The hearing is due to continue on Wednesday. McCann took interim charge of the team with five games remaining and guided them to two wins a draw. Dundee are now safe from relegation but McCann is holding off talks on taking the job permanently. "I need to do my job properly, and that is setting the team up to win games," McCann said. "Afterwards, once the guys go away for a well-earned break, I will sit down with the club." Dundee travel to Hamilton on Saturday, with their hosts needing a win to ensure that Inverness Caledonian Thistle finish the season in bottom place. McCann's side lost 2-0 at Inverness on Wednesday night, in his first defeat as manager. The 42-year-old says he has "absolutely loved" his time in charge, and will hold talks with Dundee managing director John Nelms and Sky Sports - who employ McCann as a pundit - before deciding his future. "I had a brief conversation, 20-second stuff, regarding the conversations that will take place after the Hamilton game," McCann said. "I will of course sit down with Sky because Sky have allowed me to come out of a job which I am contracted to do, to come into this one. So I need to oblige that favour and give the honour back to them. I have still got a job to do with Sky at the [Scottish] cup final. "I have absolutely loved the job and I wouldn't disrespect the club or Sky by giving any indication of what way I'm going to go. I need conversations." Dundee were second-bottom when they sacked Paul Hartley after a seven-game losing streak, but McCann managed to turn the team's form around. There was frustration, though, as Inverness raced to a 2-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes at Caledonian Stadium on Wednesday night. "I didn't enjoy the start of the game, I didn't enjoy last night going over in my mind what I could have done differently, what we could have done differently as a group," McCann said. "There were certain things as a manager I learned and certain things as a coach I learned, and I have kicked myself. Maybe I should have done certain things to help the guys. So I will take stock of that. It was a difficult night but I am back in ready to go again." Deals with international energy producers have allowed the country to use its energy revenues to create a government-run fund involved in international projects. It has also used its resources to rebuild its army, which is seen as a government priority as the country grapples with the breakaway territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Despite its wealth and increased influence in the wider region, poverty and corruption continue to overshadow the country's development. A government crackdown on human rights advocates and journalists has raised concern that Azerbaijan's embryonic democracy is under threat.

Mr Aliyev secured his second term in 2008 in an election Western observers said fell short of democratic standards. The following year, the law banning the president from serving more than two terms of office was scrapped after the change was approved in a referendum in March 2009 - paving the way for Mr Aliyev's third five-year term in 2013. In 2016 voters in a referendum approved constitutional changes to extend the powers of the president - including a controversial proposal to lower of the age limit for presidential candidates. The opposition said the move was aimed at cementing the rule of President Aliyev's family, with his 19-year-old-son seen as a potential heir. Under his rule, Azerbaijan has increased its international profile, including as host of the first ever Baku European Games in 2015. But human rights groups have accused his government of cracking down on the freedom of expression, arresting rights activists and journalists. Azerbaijan's impressive economic performance over the past two decades has not been matched by the development of free media. Mainstream media offer little scope for rigorous reporting of government activity or debate about policy. State outlets, and many private ones, promote the ruling Aliyev family. Reporters Without Borders ranks Azerbaijan 162 out of the 180 countries included in the 2015 World Press Freedom Index. It says Azerbaijan has given outspoken journalists and bloggers the same choice as human rights advocates: "shut up, flee abroad or be jailed on trumped-up charges". Some key dates in Azerbaijan's history: 1828 - Turkmanchay treaty between Russia, Persia divides Azerbaijan. Territory of present-day Azerbaijan becomes part of Russian empire while southern Azerbaijan is part of Persia. Twenty years later, the world's first oil well is drilled south of Baku. 1918 - Independent Azerbaijani Republic declared but the country becomes a Soviet Socialist Republic two years later after the Red Army invades. 1988 - Nagorno-Karabakh region seeks to become part of Armenia. Ethnic Azeris begin to leave Karabakh and Armenia and ethnic Armenians leave Azerbaijan. Ethnic strife between Armenia and Azerbaijan will boil over into a full blown war by 1992. 1991 - Azerbaijani parliament votes to restore independence. 1994 - Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh sign a ceasefire accord. Ethnic Armenians remain in control of Karabakh and a swathe of Azerbaijani territory around it. Azerbaijan signs what it calls the "contract of the century" with a consortium of international oil companies for the exploration and exploitation of three offshore oil fields. The Scottish Secondary Teachers Association (SSTA) said fewer people were placing value in the National 4, introduced in 2013-14. It comes after a drop in the number of pupils completing courses, falling from 130,000 in 2015 to 116,000 this year. The Scottish government is currently leading a review into the National 4. Critics have argued that a lack of an examination at the end of the course has discredited the qualification. The SSTA's general secretary Seamus Searson told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that pupils themselves were placing less credence in the courses. He said: "That's not good enough. The work that the young people do is as far as they're able to achieve at that particular level and the worry is that less and less people are now taking it as valued. "And in some cases in schools, the youngsters themselves see that they could be in the same class as National 5 students and they're seen as second-class students in the class and that's not fair on the young people or the teachers that have to teach them." Education correspondent Jamie McIvor on the questions being asked about National 4s However, teaching unions are far from united on the issue. Susan Quinn from the EIS said that scrapping the National 4 would mean some pupils leaving school with nothing to show for their efforts. She said: "Certainly the reason for bringing the qualifications in in the way that we did when Curriculum for Excellence was developed was that an exam isn't the best way of assessing every young person. And certainly exams are not the be all and end all of our lives so National 4 is intended to be the exit qualification for a group of young people who will then go on to gain other qualifications in other walks of life." SNP MSP James Dornan, convenor of Holyrood's education committee, said it was premature to call for the end to National 4s. He said: "The reason why there's been a drop in people applying for the National 4s seems to be quite clear. A, there's less pupils going in and B, there seems to be a recognition now from schools that they can identify those who can go straight on to National 5s." He added: "The SQA are reviewing this and I think that this conversation should probably be taking place after the SQA come back with the results of the review and we see how we can move forward from there. "But there is absolutely no way there should be any talk of National 4s being removed at this time." Iain Gray, Labour's education spokesman, agreed that to get rid of National 4s would be to "throw the baby out with the bath water". He said: "This is an important exam for a group of pupils for whom this is what they will take away from school. "Some of these problems are not new. For two years now, we've been saying that the introduction of the new exams has not been serving that group of pupils well. "They are sitting fewer exams and coming out with fewer qualifications. The truth is there are a couple of unintended consequences following the National 4 and that's a narrowing of the curriculum." The Scottish Conservative Party's Liz Smith said the National 4 qualification did not serve the "best interests of far too many pupils". She added: "The SNP government should now instigate a root and branch review of the National 4 qualification with a view to scrapping it if it is shown to no longer be required." Kenny Jackett's Wolves were the better side before the break, twice forcing Blues keeper Tomasz Kuszczak, their former loan man, into saves. Blues took over in the second half, as Clayton Donaldson, Jon Toral and man of the match David Davis all went close. But it ended up goalless at Molineux for the second season running. Blues are now four points off the top six in the Championship but Gary Rowett's side, so dominant on their travels earlier in the season, have now gone seven hours and 50 minutes since their last away goal. The first half produced few chances, but Wolves went closest through midfielders Conor Coady, with a deflected shot, and George Saville, from Dominic Iorfa's cross - both of which drew saves from Tomasz Kuszczak. The home side were lifted by the half-time introduction of Polish international Michal Zyro, but Blues boss Rowett countered with the more attack-minded introduction of the thrusting Jacques Maghoma and that turned the tide almost totally the visitors' way. Blues had a possible case for a penalty when Wolves full-back Matt Doherty dragged at Donaldson, who then screwed his left-foot shot just wide as home keeper Carl Ikeme advanced. Jon Toral wasted an even better chance, firing wide with his left foot from 10 yards, before the inexhaustible Davis turned superbly and wriggled into the box before unleashing a fierce right-foot shot which drew a great save from Ikeme. Wolves have now lost just one of their last eight league meetings with Birmingham City, having gone nine without a win against them prior to that. Blues have now failed to score on their last four league visits to Molineux. It was Wolves' first clean sheet this year and only their second in 11 league games. Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: "I felt that we were the better side in the first half and Birmingham were the better side in the second. "Local derbies are very tight and the way that things went in the second half I am not displeased with a point. "We stuck at it during the second period and made sure that we got a clean sheet. We haven't got enough clean sheets at home this season. "We have worked hard on our goals against column. There are too many times, particularly at home, when we have been easy to score against." Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett: "It is still very much in the balance. There are a lot of teams up there and it is who can handle the pressure of having to win almost every game. "I said at the start of the season that, if we can be in and around the play-offs with 10 games to go, then it would be an unbelievable achievement for us this season. "We are and we haven't been out of the top 10 all season. If we can get a result from our game in hand then we are probably one win away from getting in and around the top six. "After the international break we have three home games in a week which I think will be decisive. There is still a lot of football to be played." The 38-year-old made 40 appearances this season as the Edinburgh side finished third in the Premiership. But Hearts' website states that, with European football in mind, boss Robbie Neilson "believes the time is now right to start building for the future". "We'll now look to bring in another goalkeeper as part of our summer recruitment," said head coach Neilson. Alexander joined Hearts as player-coach after leaving Crystal Palace in June 2014 and has made 72 appearances in two seasons. Neilson thanked him for his role in helping Hearts win the Championship title and promotion last season and secure a place in the Europa League qualifying rounds in their first season back in the top flight. Alexander, who began his career with Stenhousemuir and also had spells with Livingston, Cardiff City, Ipswich Town and Rangers, won three caps for Scotland. His back-up at Hearts has been Scotland Under-21 international Jack Hamilton, now 22, while 17-year-old Kelby Mason is the other goalkeeper on the books at Tynecastle. Meanwhile, Hearts midfielder Perry Kitchen has been named in the United States squad for their friendly against Puerto Rico on 22 May. Kitchen is pushing for inclusion in Jurgen Klinsmann's final 23-man squad for the Copa America. Flying robots patrolled the skies while land-based vehicles with minds of their own trundled along on the ground below. That future is fast becoming a reality. But thankfully, instead of trying to wipe out humanity, these drones could soon be an indispensable component of our lives: building skyscrapers using 3D printing technology; transporting cargo across town; crop spraying; or helping find people trapped in buildings. Lockheed Martin's K-Max is a full size, unmanned helicopter, capable of both autonomous and remote-controlled operations. Previously deployed in combat zones, it is now increasingly being used for civilian applications, from fire fighting, to heavy lifting and oil drilling. And the firm's Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System (Ares) aircraft features rotating engines that allow it to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, but also fly fast like a conventional aeroplane. It's like "a real life Thunderbird 2", says Andy Horler, Lockheed Martin's new business development manager. "It can carry lots of different types of pods under it. This allows the system to be used for a wide range of tasks, such as transporting personnel or carrying cargo or medical supplies," he says. "From a business perspective, Ares could be used to reduce operating costs by sharing aircraft across different organisations, each with their own pod." Fire, police and ambulance services could all share a common pool of the aircraft, he believes. Ares is scheduled to begin flight tests next month. Amazon has grabbed the headlines with its plans for delivery drones, but the Japanese government has also tested unmanned drone deliveries in a de-regularised zone in the city of Chiba. The drones carried wine and milk from different points in the city to parks, businesses, and a residential building. Singapore has also recently launched its own experiment in collaboration with Airbus. When drones can collaborate, their impact could be even greater. Lockheed recently tested an unmanned helicopter carrying and then dropping off an unmanned ground vehicle to conduct a resupply mission. Mr Horler says: "This sort of collaboration could have been used during the recent Ebola crisis [in West Africa] to reduce the risk of the disease spreading by safely stretchering patients out of the contamination zone." And Dr Mirko Kovac and his team at the department of aeronautics at Imperial College, London, envisage drones communicating with each other and an AI network as part of a complete ecosystem. "They'll sense the environment, detect water quality and pollution levels, respond to emergencies, inspect structures and buildings," he says. "They'll also be used to detect and repair gas leaks from pipelines and maintaining buildings, and eventually to construct those buildings." Dr Kovac's team is also developing aerial construction-bots equipped with 3D printing technology that will excrete materials for use in building and repairing structures. Authorities are naturally wary of drones flying into places they shouldn't and generally causing havoc - particularly near airports. So they usually stipulate that pilots have to maintain line of sight. But French company Uavia has developed tech that allows unmanned vehicles to be controlled remotely using cloud-based technology. In recent tests, the firm was able to fly a drone in San Francisco from its base in Paris. "We are currently working with large companies in France and we will be launching our first suite of products later this year," says Clement Christomanos, Uavia's co-founder and chief executive. "We fly multi-rotor drones nearly every day for beta-test purposes. These are flown at our research and test site, and controlled from our headquarters 500km away in Paris, with nothing but a laptop and our web application." The technology offers the prospect of companies being able to carry out inspections of electricity cables, gas pipes or other infrastructure networks much more cheaply. But for this drone ecosystem to become a reality, a number of challenges have to be overcome. The main one is power. If they're to stay aloft for significant periods new methods of keeping them fuelled need to be found - electric batteries just don't cut it, with most flight times lasting under an hour. When those drones start carrying heavy payloads, the flight times fall dramatically. So UK firm Intelligent Energy has developed a hydrogen fuel cell-powered range extender that can keep them aloft for up to two hours at a time. And German start-up Yeair has launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund development of its combustion engine-powered drone that can fly for up to an hour and travel at up to 62mph (100km/h) carrying 5kg. Google and Facebook are developing "wifi delivery" drones with large wingspans that could stay aloft for long periods using solar power and rechargeable electric batteries. The other big issue is how all these drones will be able to fly around without crashing into each other and potentially injuring people below. US space agency Nasa's Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) project aims to monitor and direct drones flying at low altitudes without the need for a human controller. Nasa and US Federal Aviation Administration operators recently flew 22 drones simultaneously using the UTM system. During the tests the system was able to recognise live and virtual aircraft and respond by sending messages and alerts to the drones. But while drone "sense and avoid" technology is developing rapidly, regulators will need a lot of convincing before allowing aerial motorways above dense urban areas. This isn't stopping investors piling into this sector, however. The commercial drone market is already valued at more than $127bn (£88.5bn; €112bn), according to a study by accountancy firm PwC, with infrastructure, agriculture and transport industries accounting for the bulk of the market. The FAA has issued more than 3,100 commercial drone permits, and unmanned aerial vehicles are now cleared to fly commercially in all 50 states as well as Puerto Rico. Flying, intelligent robots may be buzzing our way sooner than we think. Follow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter @matthew_wall During the interview he was asked, "How many one pence coins could you fit into this room?" He immediately started doing some calculations, and after a minute or so, announced his "best guess" on the answer. He did not get the job. What the bank had wanted was someone who could come out with any old answer, but who would have the confidence to convince the markets that they were right. Such challenging questions are becoming ever more commonplace in interviews, it seems, as employers seek to separate the wheat from the chaff. "There is much more competition for jobs, and employers are also becoming more risk averse," says Claire McCartney from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). "It's difficult for people to stand out if they ask the routine questions, so doing things differently will help them get the best candidate," she says. With so many self-help websites, candidates can also be quite practised on standard interview questions, says Claire. In a new report, the jobs website Glassdoor collected 350,000 interview questions from candidates who had faced a grilling. Glassdoor says anyone going for a job these days needs to be ready to answer such challenging questions, along with all the standard enquiries. So what sort of questions are employers asking, and what is their real purpose? We asked two experts to give us their answers. This question was asked by an interviewer at an investment bank in the City of London for a job as a sales trader. Rusty Rueff is a career and workplace expert at online jobs information service Glassdoor. Former head of human resources at Electronic Arts (EA) and PepsiCo. Current chairman of the Grammy Foundation, which promotes music and music education. Why the question is being asked: Rusty Rueff, a career expert at Glassdoor, says: This question is testing a candidate's creative skills, including how a candidate can solve difficult and even unusual challenges that might arise. Candidates should think through a response out loud. Remember that the interviewer is more interested in how you get to an answer, versus what the answer might be. Also keep in mind that some questions are unrealistic without compromises being made. Suggested answer: "To get to this answer, can you provide me further detail, for example, how big is the giraffe? How big is the fridge? Are we in a country where killing a giraffe is legal or not?" Demonstrating that you need facts and truths before jumping to a conclusion can be an advantage. Continuing on: "If the giraffe can die, then fitting one into the fridge has to do with emptying out the rest of the refrigerator's contents and using the tools around me to ensure it fits. What tools do I have to work with in this space?" This question was asked by an interviewer at a mining company for a job as a dry bulk marketer in London. John Lees is the author of How To Get A Job You'll Love and Job Interviews: Top Answers To Tough Questions. He runs his own own career coaching consultancy. Why the question is being asked: John Lees, author of Job Interviews: Top Answers to Tough Questions, says: This question looks oddball but is a humorous and creative way of testing deductive reasoning, which requires you to make and check realistic assumptions and make a recommendation of best course of action. Your choice is far less important than the thought process you reveal when answering. Suggested answer: Demonstrate each step of your thinking: "OK, well I reckon both might kill me, but I would start by thinking about how aggressive each animal might be. Horses can bite and kick, and even though they are small, being hunted by a pack gives you no escape route." This question was asked by an interviewer at an international bank for a job as a senior java developer in London. Why the question is being asked: Rusty Rueff says: This question is another example of an interviewer testing a candidate's ability to solve problems creatively. Think through a response out loud. Suggested answer: "What we can see, we can find. In this case what if we were to drench the haystack in a colour that would make the needle easier to see? "Trying to differentiate silver from the gold of hay is hard to do, but if I could turn the hay green, blue, or purple then the silver of the needle would be much more obvious." The point is to shed a different light on the problem to find a new solution. John Lees has more straightforward suggestions: "If the needle is made of steel, a magnet will do the trick. Or you could simply burn the hay off and the needle will remain." This question was asked by an interviewer at an accountancy firm in Birmingham. Why the question is being asked: Rusty Rueff says: Given this question was asked at a major accounting firm, this question is likely testing both the practical and longer term planning skills of the candidate. This is an accounting firm after all, so they probably would like to see someone who wouldn't just blow through £1 million. Does this person live in the moment or do they think about the next 10 to 20 years? Suggested answer: Again, sound out your thought process. "While it would definitely be exciting to win £1 million, I would want to think through all my options and also be aware of how this money would be taxed before I think about allocating the funds. "Some of the options I would consider include how I could invest this money, how much I could donate to a charity, and how I could use a portion of it to celebrate the win. But, if you are concerned, I'd still come to work on Monday." John Lees adds: "If you can't think of anything, say, 'Great question. What's the best answer you've heard today?'" This question was asked by an interviewer at a software company for a sales executive role in London. Why the question is being asked: Rusty Rueff says: This question makes a candidate break down a seemingly complex concept. The interviewer wants to see how a candidate can explain an idea in a way that is meaningful and relevant to the end user. It's also about finding something someone understands from the past in order to comprehend the future. Given this is a sales role, it's a key part of successful selling. Suggested answer: "First, it's important for me to let you know that I know my audience well in this case and have done my research on who I'm speaking with. "My grandma does use the internet, is familiar with websites, but knows nothing yet about social networking. So, in this case, I'd say, 'Grandma, I know you love keeping in touch with your friends and family, and I know you love using the internet to find out new information.' "Then I would say, 'There is a website called Facebook which allows you to both connect and stay in touch with your friends and family online, while you're also able to follow companies and organisations you like, to find out their latest news and products. Do you have time, Grandma, for me to show you?'" When C. difficile bacteria overwhelm the gut, it can be fatal and difficult to treat with antibiotics. A UK team showed a combination of six bacteria could clear the infection. The study, published in PLoS Pathogens, builds on faecal transplant procedures - which are used to introduce competing bacteria. C. difficile bacteria live in many people's guts alongside hundreds of other species - all fighting for space and food. However, a strong course of antibiotics can kill off C. difficile's competition. Numbers then explode, C. difficile dominates the gut and masses of toxins are produced. It results in diarrhoea and can be deadly. The main treatment, antibiotics, is part of the problem. It means the condition can be difficult to get rid of and can affect patients again and again. Rarely, some patients have faecal transplants as a way of restoring the balance of bacteria in the gut. Material is taken from a donor, mixed with water, filtered and passed down a tube into the stomach. It is thought to be successful in about 90% of cases. However, even the only doctor in the UK to use the treatment, Dr Alisdair MacConnachie from the Gartnavel General Hospital in Glasgow, says it's a last resort and quite frankly "disgusting". In this latest study, researchers at the Sanger Institute, near Cambridge, tried to find exactly which bacteria in faecal transplants were needed to clear the infection. They grew bacteria from mouse faeces in the laboratory and tried different combinations of bacteria in infected mice. They found a combination of six, including three previously unidentified species, did the trick. The super-six cocktail cleared the infection in all 20 infected mice given the oral treatment. Crucially the bacteria can be grown in the lab without needing a fresh sample for each transplant. The scientists said the procedure shifted gut bacteria to a healthy state. One of the researchers involved, Dr Trevor Lawley, said: "It is quite intuitive to aim for more balanced gut ecosystems. "Antibiotics are the greatest medical invention ever, but maybe we've overused them and C. diff is the result. "It's a very very tough bug to deal with." He said there were differences between the bacteria growing in the guts of mice and people, so the same experiments now needed to be repeated to find an equivalent cocktail for people. Neil Fairweather, professor of microbiology at Imperial College London, said faecal transplants had problems, such as the risk of transferring harmful infections. But he said he could see treatments using just the bacteria being used in the future. "There is the obvious benefit of not having to prepare an emulsion of human poo prior to transplantation - growing bugs in culture is far preferable and less smelly! "One can imagine patients being offered a pill containing a number of defined bacterial species that will help restore the normal mix of 'healthy bacteria' in the gut. "Other conditions that have been associated with imbalance of the gut microbiota include inflammatory bowel disease and it is possible that bacteriotherapy could have promise in such conditions." Dr Anton Emmanuel, from the British Society of Gastroenterology, said this was exciting research. "What we do know is that faeces contain several million bacteria, however, some of which may be beneficial to health but some may be harmful. "Screening to find what are the good components is part of the holy grail of this type of therapy." Morris, 18, agreed a two-and-a-half-year professional contract with the Canaries in December 2013, having won the FA Youth Cup earlier that year. He also has England Under-18 honours. "It's an opportunity I'm relishing," Morris told BBC Radio Oxford. "I'm just looking forward to Saturday. That would be my competitive debut, so hopefully I get a goal to show for it." He added: "My aims are to play well, get goals and get Oxford as far up League Two as I can. I'm just looking forward to showing what I can do and get my name out there. "It's a big club and I would have been silly not to take this opportunity. I'm just looking forward to hit the ground running." The 39-year-old from Gosport, is hoping to swim between Menorca to Mallorca, then Mallorca to Ibiza and finally from Ibiza to mainland Spain. Ms Wardley said: "These will be the longest non-stop swims I've ever faced." She is expected swim the route in three stages between September and December. Previous swims include completing a solo 60-mile (96.6km) non-stop route around the Isle of Wight in 2013. She was the first person in 30 years to make the swim which was the culmination of her Five Island Swim Challenge. Ms Wardley has also swum the English Channel and the Straits of Gibraltar. To date she has raised in more than £65,000 for charities including the Samaritans, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and Sail Africa, which offers sailing courses for young people in South Africa. The victim was walking along Bridgefoot Street in the south west inner city at about 16.10 local time on Friday, when a gunman approached him. He was shot a number of times and was taken to St James Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The gunman is believed to have left the scene in a silver or grey coloured Mercedes Benz CLA. The car, which had been stolen from Navan Road on Thursday, was driven by a second man. It was discovered, burnt out, at Spitalfields, close to Dublin's Carman's Hall. A firearm was recovered close to the scene by Gardaí (Irish police) and will be forensically examined. The scene of the shooting has been cordoned off. The two goals came either side of the break from Jordan Chapell and James Alabi, who had earlier missed a penalty. Alabi, who scored four times in 8-2 home win in this same fixture last season, hit the left upright with his spot-kick after being crudely felled in the box. But Chapell made amends on the stroke of half-time, firing in a low left-foot shot from a narrow angle, before Alabi struck his ninth goal of the season from close range on 53 minutes. But City had to survive several scares, Shamir Fenelon hitting the left post from 20 yards, before Bernard Mensah hit the bar and home keeper Alex Lynch made a great save to tip over Scott Rendell's powerful shot.

Media playback is not supported on this device Jones, 31, has not played since picking up the injury in Wales' late defeat by France in the Six Nations in March. The region finished fourth in the Pro12 table following a final day 40-17 loss to rivals Scarlets on Saturday. "My shoulder is very good. It's been a frustrating period," Jones told BBC Wales Sport. He continued: "The first four weeks in particular [have been frustrating] but I'm in a good place now and hopefully, if selected, I can feature in the semi-final." Without Jones, Ospreys have struggled for form, losing five of their last six games in all competitions but the region still managed to seal a semi-final spot. "Steve's point was that he was going to protect me from myself and credit to him, he's taken that decision away from me and that's all you can ask for as a player," Jones said. "The way we've got there [to the semi-final] isn't ideal but form really goes out of the way in knockout rugby and that's where we find ourselves." Media playback is not supported on this device Jones was named in the British and Irish Lions squad for their tour of New Zealand this summer and, after featuring in Wales' unsuccessful tour there in the summer of 2016, he knows they face a difficult task ahead of them. "I think everyone realises the challenge facing the Lions playing against back-to-back world champions and the calibre of player they have and strength in depth not only at Test level but also in the week with their Super Rugby franchises," he added. "There is a realisation that everyone is competing for a place and has the ability to get in the Test teams. It's not falsified, it's a genuine squad of quality and experience." After captaining the Lions in the final game of their successful tour of Australia in 2013, Jones says their squad has enough experience to step in for captain Sam Warburton over the 10-game tour. "Sam's the figurehead and everyone who has a leadership roll and is there to support that and that's very important," he said. "Rory Best is there, I am there, there's guys that have captained teams who are at European Champions Cup level as well. Ultimately, one guy isn't going to play all ten games because of the schedule. "First and foremost as a player you've got to captain yourself and then contribute to the team." Harlequins' Jamie Roberts will captain Wales for their Summer tour games against Tonga and Samoa in Jones' absence, a move the Ospreys lock welcomes. "It's great for Jamie, he has 91 caps so with the departures and people available the experience he has is going to be priceless for the squad the they have," he added. "It's good to see they've got a fresh faced squad with 13 new caps as well. There will be pressure even though people say 'oh it's Tonga and Samoa' but you put the travel in and underestimate them at your peril. "It's exciting times but I wish Jamie and the uncapped players the best." Karl Stefanovic, the award-winning host of the Nine Network's Today morning show, is famous for his awkward interviews, on-air pranks and appearing on television while inebriated. But in an apology stretching for three minutes, he has admitted to overstepping the mark after a series of off-colour jokes during Thursday's show. During a live cross, a Nine reporter described how she and a cameraman were attacked by "transvestites" shortly after arriving in Rio de Janeiro to cover the Olympics. This prompted Stefanovic to make a series of cross-dressing themed jokes, including a comment that the cameraman was "no stranger to the ways of the tranny". A guide to transgender terms His use of the term "tranny" drew sharp criticism from the LGTBI community and on social media. On Friday morning, Mr Stefanovic issued a heartfelt apology, saying he got it "wrong, very wrong". He pledged to never use the word again. "As we all know I can be a complete tool. Yesterday I was worse, I was an ignorant tool," he said. "I honestly didn't know the negative and deeply hurtful impact that word has not only on members of the LGBTIQ community but on their family and friends. "Because I know trans people are fun-loving, life-celebrating people I actually assumed they might laugh along with me, I assumed wrong." While the apology was praised on social media, comments on the Today show's Facebook page were mixed. "Personally think there was no need to apologise," said one Facebook user. "I think the minority that complain need to have a cup of cement and harden up." Corey Sinclair, editor of Sydney's Star Observer gay and lesbian community newspaper, said the apology was "refreshing and heartfelt". "Karl seems to have taken on board what people have been saying and acknowledged the damage his comments caused," he said. "I think it takes a big person to admit when they're wrong. Hopefully it has made others aware that sort of language is simply unacceptable." Despite his brash on-screen personality, Stefanovic has won plaudits for his sensitive side. He once wore the same suit on the Today show for a year to highlight the scrutiny his female co-hosts faced over their fashion choices. The robbery happened four days ago, but the details only emerged on Thursday. The interior ministry said the main suspects were a plumber, facing financial difficulty, and a department employee, who helped him break in. Thirty-one gold and four silver bars, worth around $2m (£1.2m), were taken during the raid. A number of commemorative coins were also taken. The men were arrested with the stolen items and a large amount of cash in their possession, the interior ministry added. Much of the gold has reportedly already been sold to jewellers in Cairo. The finance department employee was spotted on CCTV footage at a jewellery shop, where he tried to sell some of the stolen metal on Thursday, the Middle Eastern News Agency reports. He is accused of sharing information with the plumber, which helped him bypass security and access the safe where the bars were being held. The Warriors and Scotland pair are both sidelined for up to six months and will miss the opening rounds of the Pro12 and European Champions Cup. "With the new coaching staff [at the club] it might give some of the other guys a boost," said Brown, 35. "They now feel as if they've actually got a chance to stake a claim." Brown says it is "a bit of an understatement" to say Hogg and Gray's injuries are "a fairly big blow for Scotland". "Those two with Finn Russell are probably Scotland's three star players, or most famous players, so it's going to be tough for Scotland and for Glasgow," Brown explained. "But it gives someone else a chance and it's up to that person to really step up and stake a claim." Hogg was forced out of the British and Irish Lions' tour of New Zealand with a facial injury, then underwent surgery on an underlying shoulder problem, while Gray had his wrist operated on after Scotland's June Tests. Brown won 64 Scotland caps and made over 60 appearances for Glasgow, then spent the final seven years of his career at Saracens - where he won six trophies - before retiring at the end of last season. And the former flanker believes the loss of two pivotal players could bring the Warriors squad closer together, with new head coach Dave Rennie arriving from New Zealand for the coming campaign. "It's a funny one - it can sometimes work either way," Brown told BBC Scotland. "Both of them are outstanding players. Hoggy would probably have started the Lions Tests at 15 had he been fit, and Jonny Gray was very unfortunate to miss out [on making the squad]. "Sometimes if you're missing a couple of your star players, it can mean all of the guys that are still there adopt an almost siege mentality, and so it can even serve to galvanize a side as well. "I think you've got to see it as an opportunity because if you start thinking, 'we're missing these guys, we're going to struggle,' you're done. Who is the next guy? Who is going to get an opportunity? And when we give this player an opportunity, can they grasp it? I think that's very exciting." With Glasgow rather depleted by Scotland call-ups during international windows, Rennie has signed several southern hemisphere players who will not be lost to Test rugby. Prop Oli Kebble, lock Brian Alainu'uese, flanker Callum Gibbins and winger Lelia Masaga have no international commitments and will be available for Warriors during these periods. "I think it'll certainly help," Brown said of the additions. "It is very, very tough on the two Scottish sides, because the Scotland coaches have only got two sides to pick from then a handful of exiles. "These sides are going to lose quite a number of players, but I think both [Glasgow and Edinburgh] have got slightly more strength in depth this season and will hopefully be able to cope slightly better. "It's very, very difficult and if there was a simple answer it would have been done by now. For the Scotland team to succeed we need two strong Scottish sides but I also think it can be quite healthy when some of the older players leave, because it opens up a pathway for someone new to come in. That's the model that Scotland has got to follow. "As a coach, it's a balance as well - you've got to plan for the future and you've got to develop players, but at the same time, sides want success, the owners and bosses want success. It's a balancing act and it's why it's so tricky to be a very successful head coach." The action will affect non-emergency surgery at Morriston and Singleton in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Princess of Wales in Bridgend. Unison members "voted overwhelmingly" for the walkout in a row over pay with Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health board, officials have said. The health board said it was working with Unison to "resolve concerns". The trade union insists the affected members want "pay parity with colleagues doing the same job in other hospitals in Wales" and say workers have "not been taken seriously by the health board". The health board said in a statement 500 people worked in the impacted departments, of whom 128 staff were the affected grades. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg said not all of them were Unison members and they understood "in total 72 members voted in favour of strike action". The earliest date a strike can take place is 18 January. Mark Turner, Unison's organiser at the health board, said: "Staff at the hospitals are so angry because they are being treated as second-class citizens. "They cannot understand why their health board values their work less than peers doing exactly the same job with the same responsibilities elsewhere in Wales." Unison claims "out of date job description and inferior rates of pay" means affected staff were on a band below workers in similar jobs elsewhere in Wales. An Abertawe Bro Morgannwg statement said: "We are sorry our continuing discussions with Unison have not been able to resolve our staff's concerns. "ABMU is fully committed to continuing its partnership work with Unison to resolve these concerns and are meeting with them early next week. "In the meantime, we would like to reassure patients should strike action go ahead we will be working to ensure any disruption to services are minimal." When questioned further, the man produced part of a human leg and hand. Police then accompanied the man back to a house in KwaZulu-Natal where more body parts were found. Four men, two of them traditional healers, were arrested and charged with murder and conspiracy to murder. They appeared in Estcourt Magistrate's Court, about 175km (110 miles) north-west of Durban, on Monday. A police spokesperson told the BBC that it is possible that the four young men, aged between 22 and 32 years old, are part of a bigger syndicate. The investigation is still under way, with police urging people whose relatives have disappeared in the vicinity of Estcourt to come forward. A team of forensic experts has been called in to identify the remains, as it is not clear whether the body parts belong to one or several victims. A month ago, in Durban, the biggest city in the region, a man was arrested in possession of a human head, concealed in a backpack. It is believed he was trying to sell it to a traditional healer. But Russian officials have insisted there are no plans to open new bases in Syria and the one near Afrin serves as a "reconciliation centre". Russia says the role of the base is to negotiate local truces between the various warring sides in Syria. Meanwhile fighting between the military and rebels has continued near Damascus. Government forces are reportedly bombarding eastern areas of the capital, Damascus, a day after rebel fighters launched a surprise offensive. YPG spokesman Redur Xelil told the Reuters news agency that a deal with Russia was agreed on Sunday and that an unspecified number of Russian soldiers - along with armoured vehicles - were already taking up positions at the Afrin centre. "It is the first [agreement] of its kind," he said in a written message. Mr Xelil said Russian forces would help train YPG fighters on "modern warfare" and that this in turn would lead to "a direct point of contact with Russian forces". Analysis: By BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Marcus Russia's move is a recognition of the Kurds' growing importance in Syria and of Moscow's desire to establish leverage over all of the major players in the conflict. Russia denies that it is opening a new base but has admitted that troops have been re-located to what it calls a "reconciliation" centre in north-western Syria. However, Kurdish spokesmen talk of the training that their forces will receive. This is likely to annoy pretty much all of the other major actors in Syria, not least the Syrian regime; but also Russia's erstwhile new partner - Turkey; and also the Americans, who are already training Kurdish units. It raises all sorts of questions. Might weapons supplies come with the training? And if so would they be more sophisticated than those the US has on offer, something that is certainly going to worry Ankara? And what sort of co-ordination might there be, if any, in the training effort? Russia for its part has confirmed that it has a presence in Afrin but denies it has any military role there. Any warming of ties between Russia and the YPG will not be welcomed by Turkey which has pledged never to allow what it terms a "terror region" to be established in northern Syria. Opposition activists meanwhile said that heavy fighting continued in east Damascus throughout Monday with opposition-held parts of Jobar being targeted repeatedly by aircraft and artillery as fierce clashes raged along the frontlines. Air raids were also reported in neighbouring Qaboun and Arbin. Earlier, state media said the military had recaptured all of the territory it had lost in Sunday's rebel assault. Free Syrian Army factions and allied jihadist groups were involved in the attack on government-controlled Jobar and Abbasid Square, only 1.2km (0.7 miles) north-east of the Old City. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said pro-government fighters and 21 rebels and jihadists were killed in the fighting. Only two sailors have been rescued from the Stellar Daisy, which is believed to have broken apart on Friday. Search efforts since then have only turned up fuel, debris, and empty lifeboats, South Korean government sources told Yonhap news agency. The large freighter was carrying 24 crew members. "The more hours pass, the less the chances are of finding them," Gaston Jaunsolo, the spokesman for the Uruguayan navy told Reuters news agency. It is believed to have gone down about 3,700 km (2,300 miles) off the coast of Uruguay. The ship, a Very Large Ore Carrier (VLOC), was operated by Polaris but was flagged to the Marshall Islands, and had 16 Filipinos and eight South Koreans on board. It was transporting 260,000 tonnes of iron ore from Brazil to China. It was last heard from on Friday when a crew member sent a text message to the South Korean owner of the ship, Polaris Shipping, saying the freighter was taking on water. Mr Jaunsolo told reporters that the ship split in two and sank. Two Filipino sailors were found on a life raft on Saturday. The two rescued sailors had told Uruguayan authorities that at one point, their captain alerted the crew that "water was entering" and that the ship was breaking. It is not yet known why the Stellar Daisy had run into difficulties. "It was not a complicated day for navigation," Mr Jaunsolo told AFP news agency. Brazilian and Argentine authorities, as well as merchant ships owned by Polaris Shipping, are taking part in the search. The Labour leader has urged Theresa May to provide "emergency top-up funding" to protect the elderly and vulnerable. Councils have been told to bring forward council tax rises, after funding cuts from Whitehall. A government spokesman said extra funding was being provided and Mrs May was "clear that we need to find a long-term sustainable solution". In the letter, Mr Corbyn says social care is a "deepening crisis" threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of older people. He said the government "must take responsibility" and that relying on council tax to foot the costs would lead to a postcode lottery. Last week, the Local Government Association criticised the government's decision to not give any extra money in social care funding. Instead, ministers will let local authorities bring forward council tax rises, and money cut from a housing scheme will be spent on social care. Mr Corbyn writes: "After £4.6bn of cuts to social care budgets since 2010, more than a million elderly people are not getting the care they need." A Conservative Party spokesman said Labour had "no credibility" when it came to social care. "They had 13 years to find a long-term solution and totally failed to do so," he said. "Now they suggest raising corporation tax, a pot of money they have already promised to spend on higher welfare payments, scrapping university tuition fees and ending public sector pay restraint." Mr Corbyn has proposed an urgent meeting at "the highest level" to discuss emergency support for social care and to look at more far-reaching solutions. Downing Street has not responded to the letter directly and Mr Corbyn has not been invited to meet the PM. In a statement published by the Department for Communities and Local Government, a government spokesman said: "On Thursday, the Government announced almost £900m of additional funding over the next two years to tackle these growing pressures. "The prime minister is clear that we need to find a long-term sustainable solution, including making sure all local authorities learn from the best performers to raise standards across the whole system."

The Department for Health said the test on the elderly woman, who landed at Gatwick Airport, came back negative on Sunday afternoon. Some 728 people have died of Ebola in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone this year, in the worst-ever outbreak of the disease. Public Health England says the risk to the UK remains very low. The Ebola virus spreads through human contact with a sufferer's bodily fluids. Initial flu-like symptoms can lead to external haemorrhaging from areas like eyes and gums, and internal bleeding which can lead to organ failure. The current mortality rate is about 55%. The woman, believed to be in her early 70s, had been a passenger on a Gambia Bird flight that arrived at Gatwick on Saturday morning. She collapsed at the airport and was later pronounced dead in hospital. A Department of Health spokeswoman said the passenger's symptoms had not suggested she was an Ebola victim but the test was carried out because she had travelled from West Africa. Dr Brian McCloskey, director of global public health at Public Health England (PHE), said: "There was no health risk to other passengers or crew, as the passenger did not have symptoms during the flight. "It was considered very unlikely to be a case of Ebola but testing was done as a precaution, and was negative. "The correct procedures were followed to confirm there was no reason to quarantine the airplane, the passengers or staff. PHE can confirm there was no public health risk around the sad death of this individual." A Gatwick spokeswoman said the aircraft, as well as some airline and airport staff, were isolated "as a precaution" but that the plane was later cleared for its return journey. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said the government is taking the outbreak, and the threat to the UK, "very seriously". Ministers have discussed what precautionary measures could be taken if any UK nationals in West Africa become infected with Ebola. Public Health England has advised UK medical staff to watch out for unexplained illnesses in patients who have visited West Africa. It said no cases of imported Ebola have ever been reported in the UK. The US is to send at least 50 public health experts to the region to help fight the disease. They are expected to arrive in the next month. Meanwhile, American Ebola patient Dr Kent Brantly is improving in hospital after returning to the US from Liberia. Another infected US citizen, aid worker Nancy Writebol, is expected to arrive in the US soon. The message of a new, cross-party campaign vying to get the UK to leave the EU could hardly be clearer. On Friday, the group, which contains politicians and, crucially, financial backers from across the political spectrum, launches officially. The date of the actual referendum on our membership of the EU is not yet set, but it is becoming clear who will shape up on each side. This new campaign, Vote Leave, is funded by major Conservative donor and City millionaire Peter Cruddas, John Mills, Labour's biggest private financial backer, and Stuart Wheeler, for years a Tory donor but more recently a supporter of UKIP. The expectation is that they will spend up to £20m, around half the amount the Tories spent in the 12 months before the election. And it will fold in three existing campaign groups: Conservatives for Britain, Business for Britain and the Labour Leave campaign. They already have the backing of politicians like Lord Lawson, Kate Hoey from Labour, and Douglas Carswell from UKIP, and their hope is to build support and credibility across the spectrum. The campaign will begin with its "take control" plea to voters - citing the £350m it will claim is paid by UK taxpayers each week to the EU. The campaign's argument is simply that the EU has too much control over too much of our lives. But stand by for clashes over how much money we get back, compared with what we put in. The arguments over whether we really gain or lose economically will be a central strand of the referendum debate, with the government, most of the Labour Party, the SNP, the Liberal Democrats and much of the business world pressing the case that the rewards of being in the EU are much greater than the costs. But Vote Leave has money, campaign muscle, a plan to build a politically broad-based group, and a clear message. It is also confident it will end up becoming the official campaign, designated by the Electoral Commission, rather than the campaign Leave.EU that includes the UKIP leader, Nigel Farage and UKIP's multi-millionaire donor, Aaron Banks. The two groups, Vote Leave and Leave.EU, have had talks and may eventually join forces, but for now they are being run as separate campaigns. On the other side, the In campaign, which makes the case for the UK's EU membership, is expected to launch early next week. But, by the time you are reading this, Vote Leave will already be trying to flood the internet with its message, trying to establish not just its arguments but itself as the established campaign group making that side of the argument. This debate may last as long as two years, but the race is already on. People living close to the tip at Long Lane, Great Heck, North Yorkshire, have said their health is being affected. Sarah Webster has three children, aged three, six and eight, and said they had all been "really poorly" due to the smell. The tip was run by Wagstaff TWM Ltd which has gone into liquidation, the Environment Agency said. The agency said it was investigating alleged waste offences and monitoring the odour from the site, near the M62 motorway, that stockpiled mixed recyclable waste. It said any health concerns should be discussed with a general practitioner. It is thought there could be more than 10,000 tonnes of rotting rubbish that could cost £1m in landfill tax to dispose of. Graham Brocklesby, the owner of the site, said: "We need some help... whoever can lighten the impact of the cost that is going to be incurred here." Laura Watkinson-Teo, a campaigner, said the smell was "awful, pungent and it lingers - you get a sensation at the back of your throat and it's nauseating." During a visit to the site Nigel Adams, Conservative MP for Selby, said the smell was "absolutely rancid". It was "altogether unacceptable as well as unpleasant", he added. No one from the business was available for comment. According to its website the company is a "responsible and professional total waste management company". Pauline Pridcock lay undiscovered for three nights after falling while on a day trip from Paphos. The 64 year old and her husband had set off for Omodos with a tour group. After a major four day search, Mrs Pridcock was found unconscious on Sunday morning. She died in hospital on Monday morning. Emergency services, volunteers and terrain specialists were involved in the search, which lasted from Wednesday to Saturday and followed a number of reported sightings. Mrs Pridcock's cousin Steve Dykes said she was badly dehydrated and had suffered cuts and bruises. He said she died in Limassol General Hospital and that it was possibly because of a "heart attack or organ failure due to dehydration". "She was making progress up until Sunday evening, but three days and three nights out in the countryside with the possible added dehydration unfortunately took its toll," he said. A young woman - who does not wear an Islamic headscarf - caused a stir on social media when she declared that Hamas was "best to protect students' rights". But there was shock when the Islamist movement, which controls the Gaza Strip, went on to win the elections at Birzeit University last month. It is usually a stronghold of its secular, Western-backed, political rival, Fatah. "It was not that Hamas advanced, rather that Fatah went backwards," bemoans a Fatah youth activist in Ramallah, Madelene Manna. "Even some students who were with Fatah voted for other factions as a protest." The outcome was widely seen as another sign of dissatisfaction with the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority (PA) and its ageing leader, President Mahmoud Abbas. "To a degree, the results reflect public opinion," says George Giacaman, a Birzeit University politics professor. "The PA is suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy. It's failed to achieve anything substantial as far as ending the occupation or taking concrete steps to establishing an independent, Palestinian state." The PA was set up as an interim administration for the major Palestinian cities in the West Bank and Gaza after the 1993 Oslo Accord. It was envisaged that a comprehensive treaty would be concluded within five years. Born in Safed, but his family fled to Syria during the 1948 Middle East war. Graduated from the University of Damascus, where he studied law. In the mid-1950s, became heavily involved in underground Palestinian politics, joining a number of exiled Palestinians in Qatar. Recruited to become a member of Fatah in 1961. In 2004 endorsed by Fatah's Revolutionary Council as its preferred candidate for the presidential election. Elected with 62% of the vote as President of the Palestinian National Authority in 2006. However, more than two decades of talks with Israel have failed to achieve a final peace settlement and an independent Palestinian state. The last round of negotiations collapsed a year ago. The authority continues to manage Palestinian affairs in parts of the West Bank. However, it lost control of Gaza to Hamas in bloody fighting in 2007 - a year after the group won the last legislative elections. Although Fatah and Hamas formally agreed a unity deal and a technocratic government, deep divisions remain, resulting in political paralysis. This has been more apparent since last summer's devastating war between Hamas militants in Gaza and Israel, in which more than 2,100 Palestinians were killed, including hundreds of civilians, and thousands of homes destroyed. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers and six civilians were killed. The United Nations brokered a deal with Israel to ease its blockade of the coastal enclave - which it says it imposes because of security reasons - and allow in large amounts of building materials. However Hamas is not handing control of border crossings to the PA as the agreement requires. Meanwhile, Fatah accuses Hamas of trying to create an independent Islamic state in Gaza; Hamas provokes Fatah by saying it avoids new general elections as it fears losing them. Mr Abbas, now 80, is currently serving the 10th year of what was initially meant to be a four-year term in office. Long disliked in Gaza, his popularity in the West Bank has also declined. From the start of the year until last month, the PA could not fully pay civil servants' salaries, exacerbating economic woes. This was because Israel withheld tax revenues after the Palestinians joined the International Criminal Court (ICC) intending to challenge military action in Gaza and the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. There have been clashes in refugee camps as Palestinian security forces carried out raids for weapons. While the PA insists it is tackling crime, many view this as part of its controversial security co-ordination with Israel. "They are arresting people from the camps for political reasons. At the same time we are going to the ICC?" says Mohammed, an exasperated community leader in Bethlehem's Dheisha Camp. "We are tired from all these leaders. We need new ones. The elite make themselves more rich, even Hamas. Once they have power they want to keep it." Mr Abbas, a plodding, grey politician, has not openly cultivated a successor as he has focused on keeping his grip on power. His image has often been tarnished by Fatah infighting. The wealthy, Gaza strongman, Mohammed Dahlan, continues to openly challenge the president. He was expelled from Fatah in 2011 and the two men have traded charges of corruption. But the Palestinian leader - also known as Abu Mazen - continues to be backed by key foreign donors - the United States and the European Union - and is tacitly accepted by Israel. His avowed commitment to non-violence stands in stark contrast to Hamas, which believes in armed struggle and is classified as a terrorist group by the US, Israel and others. Its 2006 election win led to international isolation. However there is also an Israeli perception of him as weak. "I have to say, he's been a bit of a disappointment," said Udi Segal, the veteran Israeli diplomatic correspondent who most recently interviewed him for Channel Two News. "In negotiations with Israel he didn't have courage enough to face his own people and tell them the basic truth of compromise." The new Israeli government includes right-wing, religious and nationalist parties that are uninterested in restarting peace talks. Its one-seat majority is likely to make it unstable. At the same time, Palestinians lament their broken democracy. After the Birzeit upset, human rights groups condemned the detention of several students affiliated with Hamas by Mr Abbas' security forces. And amid concerns about further friction, other West Bank institutions - al-Najah University in Nablus and Hebron University - delayed their elections. Ofsted found "widespread and serious failures" in the services for children in need of help and protection. It criticised "elected members and senior leaders" and inspectors said "corporate failure leaves children... at continued risk of significant harm". Worcestershire County Council said it was "beginning to see improvements". Read more news for Herefordshire and Worcestershire The report, which covered an inspection period between 24 October and 17 November last year, said "inconsistent leadership and an insufficient number of staff at all levels contributed to a fundamental weakness in practice". It added the response to child sexual exploitation was "not thorough enough." The report said social workers "were not always using the risk assessment tools, and children identified as being at higher risk of exploitation are not diligently tracked by managers and partners to assess the effectiveness of their work". The council said it was proposing to invest "an extra £3.5m into safeguarding children from April". The authority's chief executive, Clare Marchant, said Ofsted "recognises progress is being made". But she also stated she wanted to apologise to families and children "where the level of service that we have provided has not been good enough". Ms Marchant continued: "We have significantly reduced the time it takes to complete care proceedings when they are required and we have made progress in recruiting more permanent front line team leaders to increase the stability of our workforce." An NSPCC spokesman said although changes were now being made "Ofsted says services remain fragile". He said: "Relying less on agency workers, and reducing caseloads for staff, will be key to stabilising the workforce and ensuring sustained improvements are made." The Labour MP Chuka Umunna told BBC Newsnight each of the 13 strands that make up the overall inquiry should have their own dedicated head as a way of heading off concerns that the new overall chair of the inquiry has a background in social work, an industry many survivors say failed them. Some of those survivors have criticised the recent appointment of Professor Alexis Jay. She was appointed as chair following the departure in August of her predecessor Judge Lowell Goddard. Abuse of children in care in the London borough of Lambeth, which includes Mr Umunna's constituency, is one of the inquiry strands. Mr Umunna, who also serves on the Home Affairs Select Committee and is standing to replace Keith Vaz as chair of the committee, told BBC Newsnight: "I think there is a way of moving forward where you have Professor Jay at the top of a federal like structure, encompassing people heading each of the different 13 investigations. I think that way perhaps we can move forward in a way that the survivors will feel comfortable with." Mr Umunna said it was Professor Jay's background as opposed to anything she personally had done that was the problem: "The issue with Professor Jay is not personal to her. She is widely respected in her profession and beyond but it is more to do with the profession generally which of course let down a huge number of people and helped lead to an environment in which they were treated in the most appalling and abominable way that one can imagine." Under Mr Umunna's plan Professor Jay would remain as head of the overall inquiry. Professor Jay received widespread praise for her 2014 report into child protection failures in Rotherham. Last week the leaders of what is believed to the largest group representing survivors of abuse said he was recommending to his members that the group no longer cooperate with the independent inquiry. Raymond Stevenson, from the Shirley Oaks Survivors Group, cited the appointment of Professor Jay as a reason for him wanting his group to relinquish their role as core participants in the inquiry. Mr Umunna told the BBC the inquiry had to get survivors on side. He said: "I don't see how the inquiry is going to be able to report without commanding the support and the confidence of the survivors concerned and here you have by far the biggest survivors group of over 600 individuals saying that they don't currently have confidence in the inquiry. "Now that is a really big, big problem. It can't be swept under the carpet and ignored. It's been far too much sweeping under the carpet over the decades as it is. I think it needs to be dealt with." Mr Stevenson told BBC Newsnight last week: "The new chair has spent 30 years in the social services department. That [someone other than her] would have been another condition for us [staying] because we are suggesting the social services department also being part." Following Professor Jay's appointment last month Andi Lavery from the White Flowers Alba survivors group said: "She's a social worker, when one of the key aspects of this inquiry is looking at the abject failure of the social work profession." Professor Jay, who stepped up to be chair of the inquiry after previously sitting on its four person panel, won widespread respect for her 2014 report into child abuse in Rotherham. She is the inquiry's fourth chair since it was established just over two years ago. In a submission to the Home Affairs select committee last week Judge Goddard suggested the inquiry should be restructured so it focuses on the present and future rather than the past. But Home Secretary Amber Rudd insisted the focus on the past should remain. She told MPs: "Understanding what happened is so important to getting right what we think is going to help now and in the future." Mr Umunna said the focus on the past must continue and also called for Judge Goddard to appear before the Home Affairs Select Committee to answer questions on the written evidence she submitted to MPs last week. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse did not respond to an invitation to comment. Streather, 29, failed to make a Premiership appearance last term and was released at the end of the season. He joined the club from Nottingham in 2013 and went on to make 30 appearances in all competitions. "With the medical advice I have received, there is no other option for my long-term health and well-being," Streather said. "I've been lucky to have enjoyed my time in the game, with Nottingham in the Championship and four amazing years at Saracens. "I leave the game having made so many wonderful memories on and off the pitch and I've made some friends for life along the way." The girl, named Hajar, said she had been sexually abused by three different members of her family since the age of 14. Often crying, she also said she was eight months pregnant by one of her abusers. It emerged during her appearance on Ala Chebbi's show Andi Mankolek, or I've Got Something to Tell You, that poverty had forced her to give up school aged 14 to work on the family farm. She also said that her father was frequently absent because of work, and that her relationship with him and her stepmother was poor. Hajar's elder brother, Allala, who appeared alongside her on the show earlier this month, said he had approached the show out of despair after her father, ashamed at her pregnancy, had kicked her out of the family home. Although Tunisia is seen as relatively progressive on social matters among Muslim-majority countries, traditional attitudes are still widespread, and pregnancy before marriage is regarded by some as a matter of shame, regardless of the cause. When Hajar's father joined the programme, Chebbi suggested to him that "whoever did it should marry her to close the case" and "contain the situation". He asked Hajar who the father is, and she told him that she was not sure, but suspects the brother of her stepmother. Told by her brother that all three alleged abusers were married, Chebbi added that "at least, he can recognise his child and give him his name". He then chided her for not reporting any of her abusers, and urged her to ask her father for forgiveness for being pregnant without being married. "Admit that you are at fault," he added. The remarks prompted an outcry on social media. "Even though she was raped and abused by her relatives, he asks her to justify herself," tweeted freelance cartoonist Tawfiq Omrane. Thousands of people joined a Facebook page called "'Marry your rapist,' he says. 'We will see you in court,' we reply." The page uses a widely-shared photo of the show's studio with a text overlaid that says: "Mr Ala: The punishment for rape is imprisonment, not marriage." It has addressed a letter to the minister for women, family and childhood, Samira Merai, calling for action to end violence against women and children. There was also criticism of a law - Article 227 - that requires rape charges to be dropped if the perpetrator marries the victim. The women's ministry has drafted a bill to abolish the article, but this still needs to be ratified by parliament. Chebbi insisted his remarks were taken out of context, telling Mosaique Radio FM he had only suggested marriage in light of what he called a lack of evidence proving that rape had taken place. He said he believed the abusers should be punished if proven guilty of rape, but again reiterated his view that Hajar had made a mistake in remaining silent. "This is the case of many Tunisian girls who have been raped and did not say anything," he said. "Silence is the core of this case." But Tunisia's media regulator has sided with his critics, suspending the programme for three months after finding it to have "violated human dignity". Radia Saidi, a spokeswoman of the Tunisian Independent High Authority for Audiovisual Communication, told the BBC's Rana Jawad that Chebbi had judged the victim, rather than questioning her."There was no excuse to break Tunisian laws and international laws for the protection of minors and of privacy," she added.

The 25-year-old joined the Owls from Leeds United in 2014, and has since made 92 appearances, scoring twice. He played 42 times last season as Wednesday reached the play-off final, which they lost to Hull City. "I'm really happy here," said Lees. "Like any player, I want to play in the Premier League. I am convinced we can achieve these ambitions together." Evans is expected to be named on Friday in Michael O'Neill's squad for the World Cup qualifier with Norway in Belfast on 26 March. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since 2 January because of a chronic groin problem. Evans has started his country's last two World Cup qualifiers. New Rovers manager Mowbray made it clear there would be no club-versus-country row if Evans were to face the Norwegians. "I don't really get involved in the international set-ups. What I do know is footballers like to play for their countries, they want to play for their countries," he said. "If he gets called up, there will no problem. If anything it will be a benefit if he gets some game time and some intense training to build him up. "He has trained with us for almost a week now. I would have to say he looks a very talented footballer, my type of footballer. He picks really lovely passes, he's got quick feet and a really good appreciation of the football. "He needs to get fit. If he gets called up, there will no problem." Former Celtic boss Mowbray was appointed Blackburn manager on 22 February, succeeding Owen Coyle. Sean Anderson said they would leave the Malheur complex on Thursday morning, in a live broadcast on the internet. Earlier, the FBI moved in on the group, which had been entrenched for 40 days. They are protesting against federal government control of local land. One activist died in an earlier confrontation with police. Agents were placed behind barricades near the self-styled militia's encampment, an FBI statement said. Inside the Oregon refuge with the militiamen A 'militiaman apart' All four of the militia - a husband and wife and two other men - were said to be present during a discussion, broadcast live online, about how they would put down their weapons and walk out of the refuge at 08:00 local time (16:00 GMT). They will meet a Nevada lawmaker, Michele Fiore, and a preacher who are travelling to meet them. Ms Fiore, a Republican member of the Nevada state assembly, was also on the live conference call. She said that the FBI had "given us their word that they are going to stand down tonight" on the understanding that the four would leave the complex in the morning. The live stream of events inside the refuge has been a strange mixture of prayer and paranoia, of fear and defiance. The occupiers have repeatedly accused the federal government of persecuting them and they have attacked President Barack Obama for trying to "take away guns from people who are depressed". With tens of thousands listening, the militia revealed that they had been eating well, talking about hearty cooked breakfasts, pork fried rice and steaks. At one point, an occupier compared himself to the Scottish patriot William Wallace, suggesting that he too would rather die than give up his freedom. "Remember Braveheart? Braveheart took it to the end even when he was tortured," he said. At other times members of the quartet have sounded despairing, repeatedly expressing the fear that they will be shot dead. As well as Mr Anderson, 48, the other occupiers have been named as Sandy Anderson, 47; David Fry, 27; Jeff Banta, 46. The four had refused to leave despite the arrest of the group's leader Ammon Bundy last month. He has urged those remaining to stand down. On Wednesday night Ammon's father, Cliven Bundy, was arrested by the FBI at Portland International Airport. Local media reported that he faces federal charges in relation to a 2014 confrontation at his ranch. The stand-off between federal agents and Mr Bundy's supporters was the culmination of a two-decade dispute over grazing rights on federal land. The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was seized early in January. The armed takeover was sparked by the return to prison of two Oregon ranchers accused of burning federal land. It developed into a wider protest demanding the return of government-controlled land to locals. Mr Bundy and others were arrested late in January in a confrontation with police that left one of the activists, LaVoy Finicum, dead. The FBI said its agents moved in on the four on Wednesday after one of them drove a vehicle outside barricades erected by the group. "We reached a point where it became necessary to take action in a way that best ensured the safety of those on the refuge, the law enforcement officers who are on scene, and the people of Harney County," the statement said. In October, a federal judge ruled the sentences on two Oregon ranchers, Dwight and Steven Hammond, for burning federal land were too short and jailed them for about four years each. Angered by the ruling, Nevada native Ammon Bundy began a social media campaign backing them and travelled to Burns, Oregon, organising meetings. His group attracted supporters from across a number of states and Mr Bundy called it Citizens for Constitutional Freedom. On 2 January the armed militiamen took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge - and widened the range of demands. It is an extension of the Sagebrush Revolution of the 1970s and 1980s that demanded the transfer of federal land in many western states to local control. Mr Bundy's own father - a Nevada rancher - had been involved in a protest over cattle-grazing rights in 2014. One policy is to try to persuade ranchers to tear up their federal grazing contracts. Although many local residents are sympathetic with its cause, many also oppose the occupation of the refuge. Even the local ranchers who are serving the longer sentences distanced themselves from the militia. The term has a complex history and generally refers to those outside the official military who can be called on in times of need. The US Constitution refers to the president having command of "militia of several states" and that Congress "can call forth militia" to tackle insurrection and invasion. Those who form such militias cite the constitution and various references in federal and state law as granting them legality. Profits at Google parent Alphabet increased 28% year-on-year to to $5.4bn (£4.2bn), boosted by advertising on mobile phones and the popular YouTube video service. Amazon profits climbed more than 40%, to $724m (£560.8m). It was its eighth quarter in a row of profit. Microsoft also had a strong quarter, with profits up nearly 28%, while chipmaker Intel's profits rose 45%. Amazon said its growth was propelled by sales for web services and retail subscriptions, such as Amazon Prime. The firm highlighted its international activity, noting expansion in India, Mexico and the UK. But executives told investors that more spending on content, products and warehouses for distribution lies ahead. Amazon boss Bezos becomes world's third richest How did Google become the world's most valuable company? "Although Amazon's sales advanced by a respectable 23% over the quarter, the pace of growth at the online behemoth remains much slower than it was over most of the prior fiscal year," said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail. "Some of this is the result of a less favourable exchange rate diluting contributions from the international business. However, some is also down to a more challenging demand environment in North America, which has limited spending uplifts on products within Amazon's core territory." Microsoft was lifted by its cloud computing products, such as Azure, which were $4.8bn, up 28% compared with the previous year. "Our results this quarter reflect the trust customers are placing in the Microsoft Cloud," said Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella. "From large multinationals to small and medium businesses to non-profits all over the world, organisations are using Microsoft's cloud platforms to power their digital transformation." Microsoft also received a boost from social network LinkedIn, which it bought for $26bn in June last year. It contributed $975m in revenue in the quarter, $25m more than analysts had predicted. Chipmaker Intel's profits rose 45% to $2.9bn, with revenue up 8%. The growth was driven by its memory division, which recently launched a new technology, with revenue up 55%. At the Democrats Abroad watch party in downtown Toronto, the faces were glum. Eric Mintz, a statistician, realised earlier than some that pollsters missed the significance of Donald Trump support, and that the Republican looked likely to clinch the win. He described the atmosphere as "slowly descending into gloom". "It's an extinction moment - he's an extinction candidate," Mr Mintz said, saying he feared that America as it exists now will come to an end. "I think he's extraordinarily dangerous in policy and personality." Canada's immigration website crashes A few blocks away at the swanky Albany Club, a well-heeled crowd of politicians, diplomats and businesspeople were watching with disbelief as the results rolled in. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne had backed Democratic US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, but her concern was rooted in more than just politics. "Our fate is absolutely inextricably linked to the United States," the premier of Canada's most populous province told the BBC. "If we have a partner south of the border that isn't interested in getting a softwood lumber deal or making sure we continue our relationship with the auto sector, that's very, very bad for the province and it's bad for the country." Her number one issue in the Canada-US relationship? "Trade." Canada and the US share the longest peaceful border on Earth. Canada's economy, based largely on foreign trade, is tied to that of the US. America is by far the country's largest trading partner, with some CA$2.3bn ($1.7 bn/£1.4bn) in goods and services crossing the Canada-US border daily. So how Mr Trump handles trade, especially the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), matters to Canada. He has called the agreement a "disaster" and has vowed to either renegotiate it or axe it completely. Mr Trump has also said he would pressure allies to pay their fair share into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato). Nato guidelines say member states should spend at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defence. Most countries in the military alliance, including Canada, lag behind on that figure. Canada also shares close ties with the US when it comes to tackling shared national security concerns, climate change, and the war against so-called Islamic State. But Mr Trump is a possible ally on one file: the Keystone XL pipeline, which the Obama administration rejected in 2015. The company behind the controversial Alberta-to-Texas pipeline says it is still committed to the project. Canada had lined up largely behind Clinton. Not everyone though. David Woolley, 26, a communications professional, was proudly sporting a Make America Great Again baseball cap. Once a supporter of Mrs Clinton's primary rival Bernie Sanders, Mr Woolley gravitated towards Trump. He said the real estate mogul held positions similar to Mr Sanders, such as curbing free trade and limiting American interventions abroad. "We're flipping the coin with [Mr Trump], whereas we know Hillary will continue to represent the banksters and represent the neoconservatives," he said. On the other side of the border, Americans were looking northward for hope. Canada's immigration website crashed as Trump wins continued to mount. Can they make it work? Jessica Murphy, Canada editor, BBC News Canadian prime ministers and their US counterparts have not always got along. And from policy to temperament, it can be hard to imagine two men who have less in common than Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump. Mr Trudeau, 44, is young, optimistic, a self-declared feminist. Mr Trump, 70, will be the oldest man ever elected US president. He painted a pessimistic view of America throughout the campaign, and has been forced to defend his treatment of women. Mr Trudeau has made tackling climate change one of his key policy issues. Mr Trump has said he would cut all US federal climate change spending and wants to dismantle the Paris climate agreement. Mr Trudeau has made openness to refugees part of his brand. Mr Trump has warned admitting refugees from certain regions presents a serious threat to US national security. But the two nations are close allies. From national security to the economy, to ensuring goods and people can move across the border, they tend to work in tandem on issues of mutual interest. So while Mr Trudeau's relationship with Mr Trump not be the immediate "bromance" Mr Trudeau formed with Barack Obama, both will have to find a way to make it work. With more than £600,000 of prize money on offer, including a first prize of £120,000 for the big race, the cast list will be a 'Who's Who' of the National Hunt world. Having won more than £1m at the Cheltenham Festival last month, Irish champion trainer Willie Mullins is on course to dethrone current British champion trainer Paul Nicholls. Both men are heading to Ayr knowing the title could be clinched with a big race win, while another Irish trainer, Mouse Morris, is aiming for a unique National treble after triumphs in last Saturday's Grand National with Rule The World and last month's Irish Grand National with Rogue Angel. There's no doubt about who's going to be champion jockey following the retirement last year of 20-times winner, Sir Anthony McCoy, or AP as he's better known. Perennial runner-up Richard Johnson will be at Ayr with the title already wrapped up, having ridden more than 220 winners - almost 100 more than his nearest rival. It is exactly 50 years since the Scottish Grand National was first run at Ayr - African Patrol, ridden by Johnny Leech, was the inaugural winner - following the closure of the racecourse at nearby Bogside in 1965 where it had been staged for nearly a century. Over those last 50 years, the gruelling marathon has been won by a cast list that includes many of the sport's great names - equine and human. But there's one name that stands out - Red Rum. The winner of the Aintree Grand National three times, "Rummy" came north in 1974 having just won the second of his three Nationals. Despite some suggesting it bordered on cruelty to run a horse in two such gruelling races within days of each other, he simply ran his rivals into the ground to claim the Scottish National too. Red Rum remains the only horse to win both big races in the same year. The achievement was so remarkable that Ayr Racecourse commissioned a statue in the horse's honour. As for Saturday's race, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary is flying high at the moment as the owner of both the Irish Grand National winner Rogue Angel and Grand national winner Rule The World. He has entered several horses for Ayr - including Rogue Angel. But what odds a Scottish-trained winner? Well, around 14/1 according to the bookies, who reckon Seeyouatmidnight could give Borders trainer Sandy Thomson his greatest moment by far. "We gave him a quiet couple of weeks and now we're building him up, we're delighted with him," said Thomson. "We're really looking forward to it." The last Scottish winner of the race was in 2012 when Merigo, trained near Lockerbie by Andrew Parker, gained his second success having previously won it two years earlier. Great jockeys such as AP McCoy, Ruby Walsh, Peter Scudamore and Richard Johnson have all ridden the winner of the Scottish Grand National while legendary trainers David Nicholson, Jenny Pitman, Martin Pipe and Nigel Twiston-Davies all have it on their CVs. That's maybe why the 'Sold Out' signs have gone up on the Club Enclosure as the racecourse nears its capacity of 16,500. On Saturday, another chapter will be written in the rich history of the great race as 30 runners negotiate 27 fences over a stamina-sapping four miles, hoping to add their names to the roll of honour. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said the government is "very open" to the idea of changing the law to tackle what he said was a "growing problem". But charity Women's Aid urged the government to go further and support victims through the justice system. Lib Dem peers are attempting to make the practice a criminal offence. Ministers may take "appropriate action" in the autumn, the justice secretary has said. The term "revenge porn" is used to describe the phenomenon of people posting explicit images of former partners online - either obtained consensually or stolen - to humiliate them following a break up. Mr Grayling told MPs the practice was becoming a more significant problem in the UK. He was responding to a question from fellow Conservative Maria Miller. The former culture secretary has called for a change in the law to tackle the "appalling" practice, saying the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill could be used to toughen up the necessary legislation. Mr Grayling said Mrs Miller had "done a very important job in raising this issue". "It's clearly becoming a bigger problem in our society," he told her. "What I'd say to you today is the government is very open to having a serious discussion about this with a view to taking appropriate action in the autumn if we can identify the best way of doing so." But Polly Neate, chief executive of the Women's Aid charity said: "To be meaningful, any attempt to tackle revenge porn must also take account of all other kinds of psychological abuse and controlling behaviour, and revenge porn is just another form of coercive control. "That control is central to domestic violence, which is why we're campaigning for all psychological abuse and coercive control to be criminalised. We urge Mr Grayling and the Home Office to go further, and ensure victims can get the support of the criminal justice system for all the abuse they experience." She said it was "hard to know how many people are affected" but that anecdotally it was thought those "experiencing domestic violence will face the threat or reality of revenge porn". Laura Higgins, of the UK Safer Internet Centre, said she supported the suggestion of criminalising "revenge porn" and that the organisation was frustrated with the current lack of cohesion surrounding the issue. But she pointed out that there were already laws in place that had failed to prevent abuse because of how they are applied. Sarah Green, of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: "The impacts of revenge porn can be devastating, from the impact on your everyday life of work and relationships, to the feeling of violation and abuse. She said it was critical that victims were able to "access support services whether or not they report to the police". The issue demonstrated how schoolchildren should be educated in issues such as respect, equality and consent in relationships, through compulsory sex and relationships education - she added. Lawyer Rupinder Bains told BBC Radio 5 live there are provisions within existing legislation to tackle images posted online. "If the police are onside - and this is where a big issue currently lies, the education for the police in recognising this is a real issue - they can proceed under harassment legislation. "We have things in place that control electronic images being used for a purpose to cause alarm and distress. She said it was possible to take out injunctions to get images removed from the web but that this was costly and time consuming. Hannah, 21, told BBC's Newsbeat how her ex-boyfriend posted explicit photographs of her on Tumblr. She said that when she went to the police about it she was told "the most they could do was file a domestic incident report in case his behaviour escalated". Two peers, Lord Marks and Baroness Grender, have put forward an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill which would allow for a one-year jail term for publishing these kinds of images. The proposal follows a campaign by Lib Dem MP Julian Huppert who has highlighted the issue in the Commons. He said: "We need to make a criminal sanction available when people share indecent images in the knowledge that consent would not have been given." Lord Marks said he and Baroness Grender hoped to work closely with the Ministry of Justice "to ensure that this offence reaches the statute book". But Gabrielle Guillemin, legal officer of international free speech campaign Article 19, has cautioned against "revenge porn" legislation. She told the Lords Communications Committee: "We have seen a lot of legislation, for example in the United States, to address this particular issue, but you would question whether it is for the criminal law to get involved in what is very often, ultimately, the fallout of failed relationships. She questioned whether "civil remedies" were not "more appropriate to deal with these kinds of issues". Legislation criminalising the practice has been introduced in the US states of Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, New York, Maryland, California and New Jersey. However, the laws in California do not cover self-taken shots, which some campaigners claim may represent up to 80% of all revenge porn. The 51-year-old driver was dropping off a man in Irvine when the passenger threatened him with a knife and demanded money. The victim handed over a small amount of cash before the suspect made off in an unknown direction. Police said the robbery took place on Warrix Avenue last Wednesday at about 18:40. The driver had picked the suspect up at Irvine train station a short time earlier. Police said the taxi driver was uninjured but badly shaken by his ordeal. The suspect was described as being a slim white man in his late teens with a local accent. He was wearing a light-coloured hooded top. Det Con Alex Greig said: "The victim was simply doing his job when he was threatened at knifepoint for fares he had collected. "Although uninjured, this was a traumatic incident for the driver and we are doing all that we can to trace the man responsible. "Our inquiries are continuing and we continue to analyse CCTV in the area. We are seeking assistance from the public to help trace the suspect." The demand being made by the Welsh education schools group, Cymdeithas Ysgolion Dros Addysg Gymraeg (Cydag). It highlights severe delays in publishing Welsh language textbooks, with examples of teachers giving up summer holidays to translate. The Welsh Government said it was "committed" to Welsh-medium resources. But Cydag, which represents about 57 Welsh-medium schools, has voiced their concerns in a letter to the education secretary Kirsty Williams. The body told BBC Wales' Newyddion 9 that it wanted "principled" Welsh Government decisions and called the current situation a "crisis." Cydag secretary Arwel George said: "We see documents and policies which state that the Welsh Government intends to treat both languages equally and encourage more pupils to study through the medium of Welsh. "The implementation of policies falls very short of this." Nine new GSCE and six A level courses will be introduced in 2017, yet only two have so far been approved by the regulator, Qualifications Wales. Cydag claims any delay will give the examining board, WJEC, little time to prepare Welsh language resources. "Qualifications Wales and WJEC are working closely together in the development of specifications and sample assessment materials for those subjects planned for first teaching in September 2017," a spokesperson for Qualifications Wales said. "The process is on schedule and draft specifications are available in all subjects bilingually. We currently expect final approved materials to be available in line with the schedule published on our website." "We are absolutely committed to getting the right resources available to support teaching and learning through the medium of Welsh," stated a Welsh Government official. "That is why we invest over £2.6m annually in developing and publishing Welsh-medium resources across all curriculum and vocational subjects for 3-19 year olds. "We understand the challenge in getting texts by commercial publishers translated. "We expect WJEC to work with publishers to make sure that this process continues to improve."

Holders Manchester United play Chelsea, and Millwall, who beat Premier League champions Leicester, play Tottenham. Middlesbrough face Manchester City or Huddersfield, who drew 0-0 on Saturday. "It's a win-win," Lincoln manager Danny Cowley said on BT Sport. "We wish Sutton all the best tomorrow, I genuinely hope they can do it." Sutton, who are the lowest-ranked team still left in the cup, play at home to the Gunners in a 19:55 GMT kick-off on Monday that will be live on BBC One. The replay between Manchester City and Huddersfield is provisionally set for Tuesday, 28 February at Etihad Stadium. Full FA Cup quarter-final draw: Media playback is not supported on this device There are 88 places between National League leaders Lincoln and Arsenal. Sutton are in the same league as the Imps but are in 17th - 104 places below the Gunners. Lincoln boss Cowley said his side had achieved a "football miracle" after beating Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor with an 89th-minute winner. It is the first time in the club's 133-year history that they have reached the quarter-finals. Their next match is away to North Ferriby United on Tuesday, while they are also still in the FA Trophy and play Boreham Wood for a semi-final place on Saturday. Queens Park Rangers, who joined the Football League in 1920, were the last non-league team to make the FA Cup last eight, in 1914. They were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool in their quarter-final at Anfield. It comes after the Court of Appeal ruled in May that it had imposed the curfews unlawfully. The law firm that took the Home Office to court says potentially thousands of people may be entitled to compensation. Those subject to curfews cannot leave their home for up to 12 hours at a time. The curfews are not directly linked to time served in prison, but some immigration detainees have committed a crime. Others have overstayed their visas or are seeking asylum. Lisa Matthews, from human rights organisation Right To Remain, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that immigration curfews are "highly damaging" to people's lives. "The policy was unjustifiable, unnecessary, punitive and unlawful. We believe that if the Home Office believes it is above the law, this is a danger for us all." Nabil Abdullah, 30, has been subject to an immigration curfew for three years. He lives with his partner Claire Cummings and their baby Sydney in Middlesbrough, having moved to the UK as a child. Eleven years ago, he served a year in prison for street robbery and was eligible for deportation as a foreign national, but Sudan - where he was born - refused to accept him back on four occasions, leaving him stuck in the British immigration system. He is currently on bail from immigration detention. The curfew was imposed by the Home Office. Mr Abdullah has been ordered to stay inside his home during the curfew hours of 20:00 to 08:00 every day. If he breaks his curfew, it is a criminal offence. Because of the curfew, Mr Abdullah recently missed his grandmother's funeral and had to get written permission to attend the birth of his baby. He does not know if, or when, the curfew will be removed. Currently, he is not allowed to work or study and is not entitled to benefits. "The way I look at it," he said, "it's like I'm dead. I can't do anything. All I'm hoping for is all these things will disappear, put a full stop to it." Ravi Naik of ITN solicitors, the law firm that took the Home Office to court, said the curfews suggested an alarming disregard for the rule of law by the government - whether or not people have sympathy for those subject to them. "The fact the Home Office [admitted in court] it had 'assumed' there was legal authority for these curfews until this challenge was brought, really underlines how the Home Office has treated these individuals." Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said the immigration curfews "are in some cases more severe" than those handed out as part of bail from prison, which she found "quite extraordinary". "It shows that once you get lost in the immigration system, people think that the normal rules of natural justice don't apply to you. She says the Home Office must "review each and every one of these cases". The Home Office told the BBC it was "reviewing all cases in which a curfew is in place as part of electronic monitoring to ensure the validity of the curfew". It added: "We have taken action to simplify bail powers as part of the Immigration Act 2016." But in cases where curfews have been historically imposed unlawfully, the government could be facing a large compensation bill. Mr Abdullah, for example, is considering taking legal action. The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel. Arnautovic, who also had an effort ruled out for offside, exploited a huge gap in the Villa defence early in the second half to finish off the post. Villa created little bar a credible Jordan Veretout appeal for a penalty. Tim Sherwood's side have not won since the opening day and lie 18th, four points from safety. Relive Stoke's 1-0 win at Aston Villa Read reaction to this and Saturday's other games Sherwood said after last week's defeat at Liverpool that his team were already in a relegation battle and, in an attempt to turn the tide, opted for a change of system. Jack Grealish, who pledged his international future to England this week, was left on the bench as Sherwood employed a wing-backs system, one that left the hosts' forwards short of service. Media playback is not supported on this device When Grealish was introduced for Joleon Lescott at half-time, Villa reverted to a back four, with centre-halves Micah Richards and Jose Angel Crespo separated to provide space for Arnautovic's goal. Villa may be right to feel aggrieved that they were denied a penalty when Cameron clumsily challenged Veretout in the first half, but, in truth, they were toothless for large periods, managing only two shots on target. They are without a win at home all season and have taken only 71 points from their last 74 games at Villa Park, a run that dates back to December 2011. Some eye-catching summer recruitment saw Stoke bring in the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Ibrahim Affelay and Glen Johnson to the Britannia Stadium, but an early run of six games without a win did not match the pre-season optimism. Media playback is not supported on this device However, on the back of victory over Bournemouth last week, Stoke claimed their third successive win at Villa Park and extended an unbeaten run at Villa that goes back to 2009. Without the injured Shaqiri, the trio of Arnautovic, Bojan and Jon Walters inter-changed behind Mame Biram Diouf to create regular problems for the Villa defence, while at the other end a solid rearguard resulted in the Potters' first clean sheet of the season. Arnautovic was perhaps unfortunate to have a first-half effort ruled out - he looked to be level with the last defender before volleying past Brad Guzan - but there was no doubt about his second-half strike, played into space by Johnson before finishing from the corner of the six-yard box. The only sour note for City was a late injury to Diouf, who left field on a stretcher. Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam found the net with a wonder goal against Chelsea in April, collecting the ball inside his own half and lobbing Thibaut Courtois from 65 yards. The Scot almost embarrassed Guzan in similar fashion, unleashing a left-footed effort from deep inside his own half, not even as far advanced as the centre circle. Guzan just managed to scramble back, leaping to tip the ball around the post. "It was on and I felt it might have been close. I thought it was in and he did well to get back," said the Scot. Adam has now provided the goalkeepers of the Premier League with plenty of warning about wandering off their line. Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood: "I am very disappointed, we needed to win the game at home to a team that we could have leapfrogged. "We failed to capitalise and it was not good enough. I think a draw would have been a fair result, both teams were average. "The situation is getting worse, it is alright saying ifs, buts and maybes, but we are not picking up the wins and that is why we are down near the bottom of the league. "We are all in this together but as the manager I take all the responsibility. "I will use the international break to get my players fitter because they are not fit enough yet to play the way I want them to play. For some of them it will be like a mini pre-season." Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "I was pleased with what we produced, it was a performance that we have been looking for. The first half was some of the best stuff we have played in terms of controlling the game. "In the second half, we knew they would come at us, but we defended really well. "I thought Marko was excellent today, offensively and defensively. He puts a shift in. It wasn't an easy chance, but thankfully he took it. "It would have been hard to take had we not taken maximum points today and now we have a lot of time to prepare for the next game at Swansea." It does not get easier for Villa. After the two-week international break, they face a daunting trip to Chelsea on Saturday, 17 October (15:00), while Stoke go to Swansea on the following Monday evening. Populous, who designed the London Olympic Stadium and the O2 arenas in London, Berlin and Dublin, was chosen from a shortlist of five. Bristol Arena, a 12,000-seat venue set to open in 2017, will be built in the Temple Quarter enterprise zone. The council said more than 50,000 people viewed the five designs online and it had received about 550 comments. The judging panel, which included the mayor, Bristol City Council and the Royal Institute of British Architects, said it "took the comments fully into consideration when scoring the designs". Populous was praised by the panel for its "unique innovative concept that allows for smaller capacity theatre style events, while quickly converting to larger configurations for sporting events, major conventions or exhibitions". Mayor George Ferguson said: "The Populous team has presented an innovative design for a horseshoe-shaped arena that will allow us real flexibility for programming, for now and into the future". Nicholas Reynolds, from Populous said: "We believe Bristol Arena will be the catalyst for the creation of a vibrant new quarter in the city." The project is funded by the city council and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership, through its Economic Development Fund. The council said it expected to "break even within ten years" and hoped the arena would "bring some of the greatest acts and events as well as millions of pounds of economic growth to the region". The arena is set to be located on the former diesel depot site next to Bristol Temple Meads railway station, in the Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. At Prime Minister's Questions she said: "Typical Labour, take the advantage and pull up the ladder behind you." Mr Corbyn had accused the government of finding money for Mrs May's grammar school "vanity project" while cutting funding for other schools. The Labour leader's son Ben went to a North London grammar school although Mr Corbyn was reported to be against it. The issue is said to have led to the break-up of Mr Corbyn's second marriage in the late 1990s, with his then wife Claudia insisting that the child should not attend a local Islington comprehensive school. During Wednesday's clashes in the Commons Mr Corbyn accused Mrs May of "betraying a generation of young people by cutting the funding for every child" with a new funding formula for schools in England. "Children will have fewer teachers, larger classes, fewer subjects to choose from and all the Prime Minister can do is focus on her grammar school vanity project that can only ever benefit a few children." He said the government found no extra money in the Budget for schools but offered £320m for Mrs May's grammar school project. The prime minister said the funding formula would be fair to all but stressed that it was still at the consultation stage and had not been finalised. She then rounded on Mr Corbyn and his front bench team, listing those who attended a private school or a grammar school. "He sent his own child to a grammar school, he himself went to a grammar school," she added, pointing at Mr Corbyn and accusing him of hypocrisy. Theresa May's government has form on changing its mind when it's clear a policy is heading into a political quagmire. After all, it was only seven days ago the chancellor junked the planned tax rises for two million or so self-employed people. Is there another U-turn in the offing? Parents and schools in different parts of the country are cross. Labour, some Tory backbenchers and local councillors around England are riled. And accusations are building again that the Tories would be breaking another manifesto commitment - their 2015 promise to protect the amount of cash that is spent on each pupil at school. There is no question that school budgets are already under a lot of pressure, with many schools having to cut back because money is already short. One of the tough things for the government is that they are hoping to push through a reform where there will be plenty of financial losers at a time when cash is already short, and falling in real terms. But are ministers ready to give up this time? No, or perhaps, not yet Read why - in Laura's full blog Mr Corbyn insisted he wanted a "decent, fair opportunity" for every child in every school. Mrs May told him: "He says he wants opportunities for all children, he says he wants good school places for all children - then he should jolly well support the policies we're putting forward." The prime minister went to a grammar school in Oxford, Wheatley Park, which became a comprehensive while she was there. The government is planning to overturn a long-running ban on opening new grammar schools, which select pupils by ability, but says it has no plans to bring back the 11-plus exam. Education Secretary Justine Greening is consulting on a new formula for schools in England, to address what it calls the "unfair, opaque and outdated" distribution of money. It says more than half of schools will receive a cash boost and protections will be put in place to ensure no school loses more than 6% of their budget in real terms. But it has sparked criticism from head teachers and governors, who have said it does not take account of rising costs and will leave some schools desperately short of cash. The Northern Irishman, 27, said he was verbally abused when he was walking to the eighth tee, stopping to point the offender out to officials at Hazeltine. "Someone said a few derogatory things I thought were over the line," said McIlroy after winning a third point. "That particular guy, who is in a small minority, just took it a bit too far." It is unclear if the man was escorted off the course and McIlroy said he was "unsure if the man had been removed". Europe, who trail the United States 9½-6½ after the opening two days, need 7½ points from Sunday's 12 singles matches to retain the trophy. Media playback is not supported on this device McIlroy and rookie Pieters were the only winners for Europe in the afternoon fourball session as the home side, spurred on by a partisan crowd in Minnesota, won the final three matches. "It's a tough environment but we expect that," said McIlroy. "There have been some boundaries crossed. I let it get to me a couple of times which I probably shouldn't have. "You have to keep your concentration out there and it's been a long day and sometimes emotions run high. "It fuelled me a lot. The more they shouted, the better we played, so I hope they shout at us all day on Sunday." Europe team-mate Sergio Garcia, who is playing in his eighth Ryder Cup, said that the atmosphere had "been quite poor". One fan was heard to shout "Sergio, you suck" during the fourballs, leading Tom Lehman, one of the US vice-captains, to tell people to calm down. The Spaniard, who, alongside German Martin Kaymer, was beaten two and one by Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar in the fourballs, told BBC Radio 5 live: "85% of people are great. "I love playing in America and my girlfriend is American, but the 15% that are really bad makes them look bad, and I feel ashamed for my girlfriend." Ian Poulter, one of Europe's vice-captains after injury prevented him qualifying, tweeted: "Irrespective of the score the US players are policing the fans as they are embarrassed of their behaviour. Shame some spoiling this." Captain Darren Clarke tried to play down the issue, saying "people are exuberant and enjoying themselves," before adding, "people just seemed to enjoy themselves a little bit too much at times". US player Jordan Spieth tried to quieten spectators during the foursomes match involving Garcia, and said: "There were times it would quiet down and you would get a fan or two that would just yell and single people out. "We wanted to hush them down so they were able to hit under the same conditions we were. I think that's fair. "We wanted to beat them at their best and we thought it would be fair to make sure we did our part in giving them the opportunity we had when we were hitting shots." Media playback is not supported on this device Nintendo will not reveal official sales figures until April. But games magazine Famitsu says more than 330,000 units were sold in the first three days in Japan, way more than its previous console the Wii U. Media reports suggest European and US sales have also been strong. The Daily Telegraph quotes sources at Nintendo Europe saying Switch sales were better than any previous piece of Nintendo hardware. And The New York Times reported the head of Nintendo America had claimed sales had surpassed the Nintendo Wii, which launched in 2006 and went on to sell more than 100 million consoles. On Wednesday, Nintendo shares climbed 1.2% to a two-month high in Tokyo trade. The Switch can be seated in a dock to play games on a television, or used as a stand-alone portable device. The early sales figures suggested "Nintendo's fans like it best when it innovates," according to Sam Reynolds, gaming analyst with IDC. "While a solid launch for Nintendo in Japan is expected, what's even more impressive is its success in North America," he told the BBC. According to Mr Reynolds, first weekend sales for Nintendo Switch were "miles ahead" of the Wii, the Wii U, the N64 and the Game Cube. The stakes are high for the Japanese firm, after the Wii U failed to replicate the success of the original Wii. And it has not been plain sailing for the firm. Thousands of customers have complained about dead or stuck pixels - which they say create distracting and annoying dark squares on their screens. Nintendo said such pixels were "normal and should not be considered a defect". Meanwhile some critics have said the Switch launched with too few games. America's space agency Nasa said it was "saddened by the loss" of the retired spaceman. Captain Cernan was one of only three people to go to the Moon twice and the last man to leave a footprint on the lunar surface in 1972. The final words he spoke there were: "We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return with peace and hope for all mankind." He was the commander of the Apollo 17 mission at the time. Twelve people have walked on the Moon, and only six of them are still alive today. Apollo 17: Pictures, video, facts Mark Craig, director of Last Man on the Moon, reflects on Gene Cernan's passing In a statement, Cernan's family said he passed away on Monday following ongoing health issues. They did not give any further details. "It is with very deep sadness that we share the loss of our beloved husband and father," the statement said. "Our family is heartbroken. "Even at the age of 82, Gene was passionate about sharing his desire to see the continued human exploration of space and encouraged our nation's leaders and young people to not let him remain the last man to walk on the Moon." Before the Apollo 17 mission, Cernan had travelled into space twice - in 1966 and 1969. A qualified naval aviator, he was selected into the third group of Nasa astronauts in 1963. He retired in 1976, going into private business and contributing to US television channels on a variety of issues. Cernan also produced a documentary film about his life, which he discussed at length in this BBC interview in 2014. Born on 14 March 1934 in Chicago, his full name was Eugene Andrew Cernan. He is survived by his wife Jan Nanna Cernan, his daughter and two step-daughters and also nine grandchildren. His family said details regarding his funeral would be announced in the coming days. Gene Cernan's death comes just weeks after that of another Nasa astronaut, John Glenn.

Based on the hit movies that starred Danny Glover as a veteran police officer and Mel Gibson as his volatile new partner, the TV show stars Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford. The first film came out in 1987 and had three sequels over 11 years. The TV series will air on the Fox channel in the US in September. The UK screening date has not yet been given. Set in modern day Los Angeles, ITV said the show marked "the return of acquired content to the primetime schedule" of the channel. "It's rare that we find an acquisition with that sweet spot potential - the best production values and hugely entertaining drama, that we think can appeal to the biggest and broadest audiences and take up a place in ITV primetime," said Kevin Lygo, director of television for ITV. Sasha Breslau, who bought the show for ITV, said it was a "superb" reboot, "with the perfect mix of action, heart, humour and terrific chemistry" between Wayans and Crawford. "I'm thrilled and excited to see the show take its place alongside ITV's popular homegrown dramas," she said. It was announced in October 2015 that a version of Lethal Weapon would be coming to TV. Other classic films including Rush Hour, Uncle Buck, Training Day and Minority Report are also being remade for television. Wayans starred in My Wife and Kids and Crawford appeared in the show Rectify. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The properties, in Huddersfield and Sheffield, were searched by counter-terror officers after police received a tip-off. Explosions heard by eyewitnesses in both locations were caused by police accessing properties, officers said. Two men, aged 24 and 29, were held in Huddersfield and Sheffield on suspicion of terror offences. The BBC understands the arrests are Islamist-related. Police said the raids were not linked to the recent Manchester Arena attack. In Sheffield, residents at the Daisy Spring Works apartment block in Kelham Island told the BBC a door was blown off at a second floor property. Nick Meeks, who lives on the same floor as the flat which was raided, said he heard an "almighty explosion". "I stuck my head out of the door and there were fully-armed police pointing guns down the hallway towards me screaming and shouting at me to get back in the flat," he said. A resident on Rudding Street in Crosland Moor, Huddersfield, who did not wish to be named, said at one point his "house shook". He said: "I heard a loud bang that sounded like a really big explosion, I thought it was a bomb. "I ran outside and saw about 30 police and armed officers. People on the street have been kept inside their houses." The North East Counter Terrorism Unit said the two arrested men, both from Huddersfield, were being held on suspicion of offences under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act. North Wales Police said a 19-year-old man died at the scene in Bethel Place, Connah's Quay. Officers were called to the incident at about 20:00 BST on Monday and said there was likely to be a number of people in the area at the time as there is a pub nearby. A 48-year-old man is being held in custody. The prison service is discussing the possibility of a new unit at Maghaberry. It will also hold other high risk and dangerous prisoners. An inspection report last week described the prison as "unsafe, unstable and in a state of crisis". It also said that the regime for dissident inmates was part of the problem. They account for less than 5% of the overall prison population, but a much greater proportion of the resources, with staff from other areas is often diverted there. "They consume a disproportionate amount of management attention," said Brendan McGuigan of Criminal Justice Inspection. "Giving preference to maintaining the regime for separated prisoners over every other area in the prison is unfair and has a negative impact on more than 900 men who make up the majority of the prison population. "This position is untenable and a radical new approach is needed." There are currently 32 dissident republican inmates at Maghaberry. They are held behind an internal security fence in separate blocks called Roe House. Some loyalists are also held in separate blocks called Bush House behind the same fence. Phil Wragg, who was appointed governor of Maghaberry in August, told the BBC a new approach is being considered. "How we operate Roe House is under review at the moment to see whether there is an opportunity for us to consider operating a separate regime, a separated facility," he said. "The discussions at the moment are that the facility, if there was to be one, would be within Maghaberry." The proposed new facility would hold other prisoners regarded as dangerous or high risk currently held in other parts of Maghaberry. That would mean the rest of Maghaberry could be run as a Category C prison, which would require lower security and staffing levels. Police seized the bright green sports car near their Parkside base in Cambridge on Sunday, after it was spotted missing a front number plate. It had been rented from a Luton car hire company, which has also received a summons. The Huracan model retails from about £180,000. Officers from Cambridgeshire Police's roads unit photographed the vehicle outside the station, and later when it was towed away on a recovery truck. In a tweet, they said: "Even Lamborghinis need insurance." The driver received a court summons to face an allegation of not being insured to drive the vehicle, and of having no front licence plate. Cambridgeshire Police said the hire company was summonsed for permitting the vehicle to be driven without insurance. The owner has been given time to come forward and claim the vehicle, the force said. "The car is seized and held for 14 days. In that time, if the driver/owner comes forward with the documents required then they can retrieve the car," a spokesman said. If it is not claimed, the vehicle could end up in a police auction, alongside dozens of stolen or abandoned bicycles usually found in Cambridge. "Where vehicles are worth more than £800 the proceeds of the sale come back to the police," the spokesman said. "We keep those proceeds for a certain amount of time and if the owner comes forward during this period they can claim the money. "If they do not, then it is put back into policing," he added. Clarke won her 129th cap as England put in a dominant shooting display in Melbourne against the lowest ranked side in the four-team competition. The 32-year-old is a two-time Commonwealth Games bronze medallist. England lost their first two games to co-hosts New Zealand and Australia, as the latter won the Quad Series title. Australia beat New Zealand 60-55 in Sunday's decider in Melbourne to win the inaugural series. The world's second biggest telecoms equipment maker said its net profit was 27.9bn yuan ($4.5bn; £3bn), up from 21bn yuan in 2013. That matched the company's forecasts announced in January. The firm, which is also a major smartphone maker, saw revenues rise by 21% over the year. "Our cash flow, revenue, and profit all grew over the previous year," said chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou in a statement on Tuesday. "Moreover, our debt and financing structures have continuously improved." Foreign exchange gains also had a big impact on the company's earnings, because it generates more than 60% of its revenue abroad. Huawei's growth comes despite it facing challenges in several major economies. In the US, it was branded a national security threat by legislators, because of its alleged close ties with the Chinese government. Meanwhile, it has been banned from being involved in broadband projects in Australia over espionage fears. However, the company said it was well positioned to capture business opportunities with heavy investment in innovative areas such as cloud computing and fifth generation (5G) mobile technology. Thousands of people developed Hepatitis C and HIV after being given infected blood in the late 70s and 80s. In 2015, the Welsh Government announced extra financial support for patients who had received contaminated blood. Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said only the UK government had the power and the information to hold an inquiry. In Wales, 280 people were infected, leading to 70 deaths. David Thomas, from Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, was infected with Hepatitis C after being given contaminated blood products as a teenager in the 1980s. He said it has put a "black cloud over my life" for the last 20 years since he was diagnosed. "Your access to things like life insurance is denied and the compensation that has been offered by the government to date has been adequate at best," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme. Mr Thomas said he was given a one-off payment of £20,000 in 1990 and a recent revision of the scheme means he receives £3,500 annually, but maintains this is "not enough". "There is a possibility... I could develop cirrhosis so you have to change your lifestyle," he said. "Some people are forced out of work due to ill health and are scrabbling around for charity payments when really they should be having meaningful compensation." He said he "fully endorsed" the calls for a public enquiry, adding: "I think it's the only way we will get to the truth." Source: NHS Labour AM for Cardiff North, Julie Morgan, who is chairwoman of the cross-party group on haemophilia and contaminated blood, raised the issue in the Senedd on Wednesday. She said UK government support for patients was "not sufficient" and a £10,000 payment to families of someone who had received contaminated blood and since died was "totally inadequate". "I think that the haemophilia community wants to know why this happened, why blood transfusions weren't stopped when it was well known at that time that there was a real risk of contaminated blood, why did documents go missing? "There are a lot of questions to be answered and I don't think this issue will ever be laid to rest until there is a full blown public inquiry." Mr Gething told AMs he backed the call for a UK inquiry, saying: "Only the UK government has access to the information, and the powers for the scope and the depth of an inquiry that is required to help people to get to the truth." Last January, the UK government proposed increasing the amount of money on offer for those affected. A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The department is more than doubling its annual spend on the scheme for people affected by this tragedy so that we can provide an annual payment to all infected individuals for the first time." The Trust launched a £16m bid for the Seasiders in July. But in a letter on the club website, Oyston said he doubted they had the "money or the experience necessary to support the club" in its hour of need. He has been the majority shareholder since 1988, but last season saw a series of protests against the way the Oyston family run the club. Blackpool, who were in the Premier League as recently as 2010-11, were relegated from the Championship last season. They are currently 19th in League One, having won four of their 14 games so far this season under manager Neil McDonald. Media playback is not supported on this device Launching what it described as a "fair and reasonable bid" three months ago, the Blackpool Supporters' Trust said a change in ownership was a "logical step" to try and move the club forwards. However, 81-year-old Oyston, whose son Karl is Blackpool chairman, said the Trust had "failed to respond to the questions which, if you were serious, you would have dealt with responsibly and comprehensively" and that if a takeover went ahead, the club would "go to the wall". Addressing the Trust, he continued: "It would be irresponsible of me to simply hand this over to you as it is clear to any independent observer that you could not operate it successfully. "I reiterate my admiration for your tenacity, enthusiasm, commitment and love for the club. As I have said before, these are wonderful qualities which I share with you, but these alone are not sufficient to ensure the continuance of our club." Oyston rejected a takeover offer from an unnamed "third party" in May, since when the Supporters' Trust has been at the forefront of discussions about a possible sale of the club. Earlier this month, club president Valeri Belokon, who owns 20% of Blackpool, confirmed he was interested in acquiring a controlling stake and was holding talks with local business people about a potential investment partnership. It fell to 5.2% in the year to the end of October, down from 5.8% in the previous month. House price inflation has nearly halved since hitting a peak of 10% in March this year, the Halifax said. However, it said price rises remain "robust". The average price of a house or flat is now £217,411. "This expected slowdown appears to have been largely due to mounting affordability pressures, which have increasingly constrained housing demand," said Halifax's chief housing economist, Martin Ellis. "Whilst house price growth may ease further in the coming months, very low mortgage rates and a shortage of properties available for sale should help support price levels." Last week, the Nationwide said its survey had found house price inflation easing to 4.6% a year. On a monthly basis, the Halifax figures show house prices jumping by 1.4% during October alone, the largest increase since March this year. However, monthly measures are notoriously volatile. Where can I afford to live? The missive to transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin said that creating a third runway at Heathrow would create jobs and economic growth. Opponents claim it would be cheaper and less disruptive to enlarge Gatwick. The decision on airport expansion has been put on hold until "at least October" following the UK's Brexit vote and David Cameron's resignation. The Airports Commission recommended to the government last July there should be a third runway at Heathrow rather than a second at Gatwick. In December the Department for Transport announced that further investigation into noise, pollution and compensation would be carried out before a decision was made. The leaders of 34 local authorities said that investment in infrastructure was "even more important" during uncertain economic times and the UK should build on the success of the aviation industry by "future-proofing it". Councils such as Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Aberdeen and Neath Port Talbot were among those signing the letter. Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye said: "Councils from across the country recognise expansion at Heathrow will benefit their local economies by creating skilled jobs and connecting exporters to growing markets overseas. "Their support is further evidence that the next prime minister has the opportunity to make the right choice in the whole of Britain's interest by expanding Heathrow." Gatwick chief executive Stewart Wingate said his airport was the only one that could "deliver the expansion we need and do so by 2025". The Hello singer was due to appear in Phoenix, Arizona, for a second night as part of her sell-out world tour. But the star posted a video on social media explaining she had "pushed too hard" on her first night at the city's Talking Stick Resort Arena. Adele said she was "so sorry", adding: "It's the last thing I want to do but I have to look after myself." In the video, posted on Instagram and Twitter, the 28-year-old said: "I'm really, really sorry. I've had a cold for a couple of days and I've been pushing through it. "I did my show last night and I loved it but I pushed too hard and my cold has gotten the better of me." Speaking with a croaky voice and appearing emotional, she added: "As you can hear, even if I did the show it wouldn't be very good." Adele is due to perform two concerts in Los Angeles this weekend and said she would reschedule the cancelled gig, which was due to take place on Wednesday night. "I'm so sorry to let you down," she said. "I know lots of people will be flying in from all over. It's the last thing I want to do but I have to look after myself because I've got so many more shows to do. "I will reschedule this show, I promise you. And I will come back and I'll smash it for you." She said she had been "trying to sing all morning" but added: "Nothing's really happening." The singer is due to complete her tour in Mexico City in November. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. Pte Matthew Boyd, 20, was off-duty in the barracks town of Brecon when he was allegedly attacked by Jake Vallely. Mr Vallely, 24, of Brecon, told Cardiff Crown Court Pte Boyd started to fight with him after he got into an argument with his friend Aaeron Evans. Mr Vallely denies murder. Mr Evans, 23, also of Brecon, denies manslaughter. Pte Boyd, who served with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, was on his way back to his barracks when he was found unconscious by police in the early hours of 15 May. Mr Vallely told jurors he and Mr Evans were sheltering from rain in a doorway when Pte Boyd threw a pint glass near them. An argument broke out between the three men and Mr Vallely said Mr Evans and Pte Boyd started to "push and shove" each other. Mr Vallely claimed he intervened and separated the pair but Pte Boyd punched him to the back of the head. He told the court he gave chase to "grab him and ask him what the hell he was doing - I didn't want to fight him". He said Pte Boyd started to fight with him "because he thought I would start on him, he obviously thought I was going to throw a punch but I was going to shout at him basically". "It was a scuffle, we were holding each other throughout. He went to the floor and had hold of me. "I didn't kick him. I was shouting to say 'let go' and I punched him until he did so I could get away from him." Mr Vallely told the court he "panicked because I thought I'd hurt him. I don't know how he was when I left him, I don't know if he was unconscious or not". Mr Vallely said he was worried when he saw the area cordoned off later and sent a text message to a friend saying: "I literally only hit him once or twice after he'd swung for me". The 22-year-old has pulled out of what was set to be her first WTA Tour event of the season in Monterrey next week. Robson played in eight events last season after returning from a 17-month lay-off, but had to end her season early after suffering a relapse. Now ranked 553 in the world, Robson began her latest comeback in two low-key events last month. She chose not to use her protected ranking of 58 to gain direct entry into January's Australian Open and has targeted the French Open in May as a possible Grand Slam return. Robson is still hoping to play at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells next month, one of the biggest tournaments on the WTA Tour. The chairman of the Jewish Labour movement, Jeremy Newmark, would not say whether Labour's track record on dealing with anti-Semitism would cost the party a significant number of votes at the general election. But he does see it as a cause for concern. "Jeremy Corbyn appears to have failed to understand the nature of contemporary anti-Semitism in the same way that it's understood by most of its target group," he said. Labour MP Wes Streeting - a frequent critic of Mr Corbyn's leadership - has also criticised the party's record on the issue. "I don't think many Jewish voters in my constituency have been very impressed with the way the Labour party as a whole have responded," said Mr Streeting. Mr Corbyn has previously said the party does not tolerate anti-Semitism in any way. The Labour leader's record on handling anti-Semitic behaviour has the potential to cause problems for the party at the ballot box. While fewer than 0.5%, or 263,000, of Britons described themselves as Jewish at the last census, a majority of them live in just 10 parliamentary constituencies, including some of the most tightly contested in the country. Since Mr Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party, there have been allegations that he has failed to do all he can to tackle anti-Semitism. Having repeatedly refused to apologise for calling the Islamist Lebanese militia, Hezbollah "friends", he has also had to deal with a string of anti-Semitic comments from Labour councillors, an MP, and party stalwart Ken Livingstone. In April, Mr Livingstone was suspended from the party for standing by his claim that Hitler supported Zionism in the 1930s. The party decided to conduct a report into its handling of the issue. At the launch of Labour's race and faith manifesto this week, Mr Corbyn reaffirmed the party's commitment to "build a society free from all forms of racism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. "We will stand up to and take effective action against hate crime, notably, but not only in Muslim, Jewish and non-Abrahamic faith communities," he said. In June last year, an inquiry led by Shami Chakrabarti - now a Labour peer - a former director of human rights group Liberty - concluded that the party was not overrun by anti-Semitism or other forms of racism but there was an "occasionally toxic atmosphere". As with any community, a range of issues will influence Jewish voters' decisions, said Simon Johnson, chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council. But he says "this is probably the first election at which this has been an issue" to such a big extent. "People within the Labour party leadership are in no doubt about the concerns of the Jewish community," he said. One early indication is a Jewish Chronicle opinion poll published this week, which suggested just 13% of British Jews plan to vote for Labour, compared with 77% backing the Tories. The poll by Survation, which polled a sample of 515 British Jews, also suggested Labour would do better with Jewish voters if Jeremy Corbyn was not the leader. One of the most marginal seats in the country is the leafy north-east London suburb of Ilford North, home to a Jewish community of about 6,600. Two years ago, Labour's Wes Streeting won it by just 589 votes. He says he is taking no votes for granted. He is relying on his track record to impress voters, including the ones who, he says, have brought up Labour's anti-Semitism record on the doorstep. He says they have not been impressed by the party's reaction as a whole, "but they have seen that I have been unflinching in my condemnation of anti-Semitism within the party." He also points to his record of trying to tackle the issue within wider society, which dates back at least as far as his time as NUS president more than a decade ago. The seat won't be decided on a single issue. On its border sits the large, modern King George hospital whose A&E is threatened with closure. The NHS, social care and schools will be on voters' minds too. However, another reason Labour's record on anti-Semitism could be an important issue is that UKIP is not running, in the hope of boosting Conservative candidate Lee Scott's chances. Born locally, Mr Scott held the Ilford North seat from 2005 until 2015. He said "a number of people" he has met during the campaign have cited Labour's "reluctance to tackle" anti-Semitism as a reason "they cannot vote Labour any longer". On the other side of the capital is the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency. Crucially for Labour it's also home to the sixth biggest Jewish population in the country - 8,482 according to the 2011 census. However, it's almost certainly grown since then as younger Jews move to congregate around the wider area's Jewish schools, kosher restaurants and other amenities. Labour's Tulip Siddiq, who has worked hard to build ties with the Jewish community, is defending a majority of just 1,138. In what could be interpreted as a sign that the Conservatives also see the importance of that relationship their candidate, Claire-Louise Leyland, was selected in a meeting at a local synagogue. According to Marcus Dysch, political editor of the Jewish Chronicle, it's one of a handful of seats around the country, including Bury South, where this issue has made Labour vulnerable. "Anti-Semitism has become the number one topic of political discussion amongst the Jewish community nationwide," says Mr Dysch. "It is the issue people are talking about above and beyond Brexit, the economy or healthcare." Other candidates standing in Ilford North are Richard Clare, Liberal Democrat; and Doris Osen, Independent. In Hampstead and Kilburn: Kirsty Allan, Liberal Democrat; Hugh Easterbrook, Independent; John Mansook, Green Party; and Rainbow George Weiss, Independent. The Glasgow-based company, which has been restructuring in order to improve efficiency, has forecast a pre-tax profit of between £250m and £270m. The figures match those given in the summer when it issued a profits warning. It also reported a 7% fall in underlying third-quarter revenue. In a trading statement, Aggreko said sales from its rental solutions division were down 1% on last year. It added that the ongoing weakness in the oil and gas and mining sectors had been largely offset by continued growth in other sectors, such as petrochemical and refining. Aggreko also reported an 11% fall in revenue from its power solutions arm, with the "continuing weak economic backdrop in Brazil" having an impact on its business. In August, Aggreko reorganised the group into two units following a business review. It also announced plans to add more engineering resources to its Dumbarton manufacturing facility as part of a consolidation process. Chief executive Chris Weston said Aggreko continued "to demonstrate its resilience against a challenging market backdrop". He added: "Whilst we are at an early stage in delivering the specific actions identified at our business review in August, I am encouraged with the progress we are making which, regardless of the prevailing market conditions, will strengthen Aggreko and position it well for the future." By lunchtime on Monday, Aggreko's shares were up by more than 7%. School of Rock, based on the 2002 film, is about a group of schoolchildren who turn their lives around by entering a Battle of the Bands contest. The young cast - aged between nine and 12 - all play their own instruments. "At this time when there are cuts to music in schools, these are the kids that prove music is vital," Lord Lloyd-Webber told the BBC. He said music "is a force for the good and empowers young people". The composer, whose own foundation funds arts education programmes in the UK, said the government should rethink its "counter-productive" cuts. "At a time when people are feeling alienated from politics, the arts cut right through that," he said. Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, who wrote the musical's book, picked up on the theme. "One of the main purposes of the education years is to help children find out who they are and what they want to do, and the arts are one of the greatest means of allowing people to discover their identity," he said. "It really is mad for the country to cut back on that and throw out a whole load of people from school who really haven't found out what they want to do." Lord Lloyd-Webber and Lord Fellowes were speaking as they unveiled the cast for the West End transfer of School of Rock, which opened to enthusiastic reviews on Broadway last year, earning four Tony Award nominations. The show, based on the Jack Black film, features three rotating casts of child actors, selected after a nationwide search earlier this year. They range from experienced actors, drawn from the casts of Matilda and The Lion King, to complete newcomers. Among them is Amelia Poggenpoel, from Formby, who made headlines last year when her singing reduced Shia LaBeouf to tears. The 10-year-old approached LaBeouf at his #TouchMySoul exhibition in Liverpool and performed Who's Lovin' You by the Jackson Five. When she finished, the actor stood up and hugged her, sobbing: "You touched my soul." She will play Shonelle in the musical, her first West End role after several appearances in Liverpool. Amelia told the BBC she was living in a "School of Rock house" with other cast members, where tutors run lessons before and after rehearsals. The set up is "much better" than regular school, she added. Other cast members include Isabelle Methven and Eva Trodd, both 11, who previously played Little Cosette in the West End production of Les Miserables, and Natasha Raphael, 10, who toured the UK in the role of Annie last year. Toby Lee, an 11-year-old from Priors Marston who runs a successful YouTube channel showcasing his guitar skills, is one of three youngsters filling the role of Zack. The show revolves around failed rock star Dewey Finn who, in need of cash to pay his rent, fakes his credentials as a substitute teacher. But what starts out as an excuse to get paid for slacking off turns into a life-affirming experience, as he prepares his pupils for a local battle of the bands. "The reason I loved this story is every character in this story is somehow changed for the better through music," said Lord Lloyd-Webber, who first revealed he had bought the rights in 2013. For the first time since Jesus Christ Superstar in 1971, he chose to premiere his new show in the US, principally because it has more relaxed child labour laws - meaning the production could have one permanent cast. He previously expressed misgivings about bringing the show to London, saying he doubted whether he could find 39 children capable of pulling off the live musical elements of the show. Instead, he said, "we could have found five bands to play". "The depth of musical talent that we auditioned is something that I have to admit I didn't think we would find. I kind of feared they'd all be into their computers, but this proves that they aren't." The role of Dewey Finn will be played in London by David Fynn, currently starring in US sitcom Undateable. He said working with three rotating casts of children helped give the show spontaneity. "It keeps me on my toes and, as a result, it helps them stay engaged." The show begins previews at the New London Theatre on 24 October before opening night on 14 November.

Customers had difficulties making debit card payments in shops and online after problems with the RBS card payments system. An RBS spokeswoman said: "Our debit cards are now working as normal. "We apologise to those who experienced difficulties this afternoon. No customer will be left permanently out of pocket." Cash machine and credit card transactions had been unaffected, a spokesman said, adding that the majority of transactions had gone through. RBS banking customers have had to deal with payments problems in the past. In June 2015, hundreds of thousands of payments failed to reach the accounts of RBS customers. And in 2012, RBS Group suffered a widespread IT system failure that led to a £56m fine by two financial regulators. RBS, NatWest and Ulster Bank are part of the same company. The Japanese firm said its factory in Swindon, Wiltshire, will become the "global hub" for its new five-door Civic model. It employs about 2,500 workers at the plant, which first produced the Civic more than 20 years ago. Honda Motor Europe president Toshiaki Mikoshiba said the move showed Swindon's "strategic importance". The firm has invested £2.2bn in its UK plant, but cut about 450 jobs at the South Marston site last year. Production of new cars at the site fell by 14% between 2013 and 2014. Yusaku Maezawa, who made his money in online retailing, bought seven artworks in total at Christies and Sothebys. His most expensive purchase was for a large piece by Jean-Michel Basquiat for $57.3m, a record for the US artist. Sales to other buyers included a 1968 work by Cy Twombly, which sold at Sotheby's for $36.6m. Mr Maezawa plans to put the art on display in Tokyo, where he lives. Yusaku Maezawa made his money setting up the Start Today company in 1998 and online fashion retailer Zozotown in 2004. The companies made him a billionaire by his mid-30s, and at the age of 40, Forbes magazine listed him as the 17th richest man in Japan with a personal wealth of $2.7bn. His biggest purchase was a large work by Jean-Michel Basquiat entitled Devil's Head, of a devil's head on a red background with bold dark slashes. He said in a statement he "felt shivers" when he first saw it. "Regardless of its condition or sales value, I was driven by the responsibility to acknowledge great art and the need to pass on not only the artwork itself, but also the knowledge of the artist's culture and his way of life to future generations." He put a picture on Instagram with caption: "Jean-Michel Basquiat is coming to Japan." His other purchases over the two auctions were: Mr Maezawa is also the founder of the Contemporary Art Foundation in Tokyo, which he says puts on public shows twice a year. He said in a statement he also plans to open a private gallery in his hometown of Chiba. The Sotheby's auction on Wednesday night took a total of $242.2m in sales. Sotheby's said the sale saw the largest ever number of Asian bidders. One of the biggest stars was Twombly's 1968 work Untitled (New York City), which sold for just under $36.7m. Two Studies for a Self-Portrait by figurative painter Francis Bacon was sold for $35m As well as the Basquiat, Christie's on Tuesday night saw Mark Rothko's No 17 sell for $32.6m along with several Calder sculptures. Brett Gorvy, Christie's head of post-war and contemporary art said the house was "particularly happy" the Basquiat went to an Asian collection, "demonstrating the global scope of the masterpiece market". The teenage victim was attacked at a bus stop in Cadogan Road, near the seafront, late on Friday. On Saturday night, venues in the seaside town closed their doors due to thefts and anti-social behaviour. Norfolk Police said a man in his 30s had been detained in Essex on suspicion of rape. The force said new evidence meant it was exploring the possibility of links between the attack and disorder in Cromer over the weekend. Police previously said they were not linking the rape and the later trouble in the town. On Saturday night, a BBC reporter was told by a taxi driver that "travellers are rampaging the town", and staff at The Wellington pub said they closed after a group of 30 travellers became "rowdy". The disorder, described by police as "low level", was linked by residents on social media to travellers who had arrived in the town on Friday. Norfolk Police Deputy Chief Constable Nick Dean said earlier on Monday that officers were treating the weekend's disorder "seriously". He did not comment on who he thought was to blame for the disturbances and thefts, but said it would be "totally disproportionate" to blame the whole travelling community. North Norfolk District Council leader Tom FitzPatrick said the council served a notice on Saturday for the travellers to leave. Trouble in Cromer 18 August: 19 August: Stallholders in Cromer told BBC Look East they felt intimidated as the travellers prowled the town looking for food and drink. Ice cream seller Lee Sales said: "There may not be fights or anything like that but when it's intimidation creating fear - that's bad." Laurie Scott of Breakers Café said his manager was confronted on the doorstep by a crowd who wanted to get in and get food. They were using foul language when entry was refused and the manager believed they had been drinking. "He's a big, burly fellow like me and he faced them down but told me he was shaking like a leaf at the time. "There's a lot of anger across the town that this was allowed to happen." Ayrun Nessa, wife of the owner of the Masala Twist restaurant, said bottles were flying around and she was left with a painful bruise on her arm trying to prevent the crowd getting in. She said she had been confronted at the door by six women shouting abuse. "Cromer is normally a quiet and calm place with lovely people, but this was something else," she said. Police said the travellers had left the county and were thought to be in Colchester, Peterborough and London. Gomis, 28, was out of contract after spending almost five years at the French club, where he scored 56 goals in 120 league appearances. The forward was a target for the Swans last summer and has now signed a four-year deal. Newcastle United agreed a fee in the region of £8m for the Frenchman in August, but the deal fell through. Gomis was impressed by the persistence of manager Garry Monk and chairman Huw Jenkins in their continued interest in him. "They showed they really wanted me - and that's one of the main reasons I chose Swansea ahead of the other interested clubs," said the 12-times capped Frenchman. "They've been trying for over a year to sign me. It didn't quite happen back then, but they kept trying and I'm absolutely delighted to be here now. "Although I've been aware of Swansea for a number of seasons, I've been following them a lot closer since the interest first materialised last year. "It's a proud club with strong philosophies. It is growing all the time and I'm honoured to be given the opportunity to be part of it." Gomis, a product of St Etienne, made his last appearance for Les Bleus in their 3-0 friendly defeat by Brazil in September. He became Monk's second signing since becoming manager at the Liberty Stadium. His first was a deal to secure goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Arsenal, whose contract with the Gunners expires at the end of June. The Prince Of Wales School in Dorchester opened in March 1995 and invited the prince back to meet the pupils and plant an anniversary tree. Speaking at an assembly, he said: "I am thrilled to have this chance of returning 20 years after I opened this school." Head teacher Peter Farrington said: "I think he was very impressed." He added: "I think last time he visited he was particularly interested in the architecture of the school and I think this time he's gone away with a very clear impression of a happy and creative school that we have become." The prince said: "I am so pleased to see the school has gone from strength to strength." 7 February 2016 Last updated at 12:24 GMT The Blocao festival attracts dozens of pooches, putting their best paw forward dressed as everything from little pink fairies and hot dogs, to princesses and super heroes. It's all part of Rio de Janeiro's world-famous carnival celebrations, which attracts more than six million people to the streets of Rio during the month of February. Check out the clip to see some of the dogs' colourful costumes. They held talks joined only by a Russian translator hours after a formal sit down, reports say. Details of what they discussed were not revealed. There was no official record. Their relationship is under intense scrutiny amid allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. US intelligence believe Russia helped Mr Trump get elected during last year's presidential campaign, something denied by Russia. Mr Trump has denied any collusion. The second meeting happened during a private meal of heads of state at the G20 summit in Hamburg. The US president was alone, and Mr Putin was attended only by his official interpreter, with US media saying it lasted an hour. The only version of what was discussed was provided to White House officials by Mr Trump himself, as there were no other US aides present at the conversation. The White House confirmed this meeting after media reports revealed the encounter. An official described the interaction as a "brief conversation", not a "second meeting". A Russian translator was used, the official added, because the US translator at the dinner did not speak Russian. The second talks were first reported by Ian Bremmer, president of the US-based Eurasia Group, in a newsletter to clients. He described that both talked "privately and animatedly" and that the lack of a US translator had raised eyebrows at the dinner. At the formal meeting, their first face-to-face encounter, Mr Trump said he repeatedly pressed Mr Putin about the allegations of interference in the US vote. "I said, 'Did you do it?' He said, 'No, I did not, absolutely not.' I then asked him a second time, in a totally different way. He said, 'Absolutely not.'" The Hollywood remake of cult classic The Crow was due to begin filming at Pinewood Wales over the summer. First Minister Carwyn Jones announced the imminent arrival of the film's cast and crew on a visit to the new Pinewood facility in March. But financial issues at the film's production company mean the project is now on hold. It is not unusual for films to be delayed, and The Crow may yet take off, but for now Pinewood's studio on the outskirts of Cardiff stands empty while Valleywood is resurrected. Sources in the industry warn against further prophecies of doom or talk of "white elephants", with one production supplier insisting Wales' film and TV sector is working "at capacity". There is also excitement about the launch of Bad Wolf, the new venture from former BBC executives Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter, which plans to begin filming a slate of high-end TV dramas in Wales next year. Other productions are already planned at Pinewood, while there are rumours that new episodes of the BBC drama Sherlock may be filmed there in the new year. Wales Screen, an arm of the Welsh government which promotes Welsh filming locations and facilities, has seen a near five-fold rise in inquiries about high-end TV dramas since 2012. Feature films shooting in Wales recently include Guy Ritchie's Knights of the Round Table: King Arthur and Criminal starring Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones. TV and film executives are regularly spotted visiting Wales' four main studio facilities - Pinewood, Dragon, the Swansea Bay Studios - which were used to film Da Vinci's Demons - and the Chepstow studio where the BBC's Atlantis was filmed. Though it is an attractive filming destination, Wales is part of a relentless beauty contest with other parts of the UK, as well as emerging film industries in eastern Europe, to entice the latest productions. UK tax breaks have seen a general boost in productions, although those marketing Wales think the close proximity of urban streets and dramatic rural landscapes give the country an advantage. The Welsh government also offers financial support for some productions, including a share of its £30m Media Investment Budget for films made through Pinewood Pictures, while it has previously loaned money to the new Bad Wolf company. By its nature the TV and film production industry relies on relatively short-term, peripatetic projects that bring many of their own staff, though they also draw heavily on local facilities and skilled workers. The boom in high-end TV drama, and the growth of on-demand services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, means it is an expanding market, potentially worth many millions more to the Welsh economy. But while Wales has developed the infrastructure to support the increased demand from the international industry, it faces stiff competition from the UK and abroad to attract the new wave of productions. Excluding traffic offences, 1,984,916 incidents were reported last year , marking the eighth consecutive annual national decline in crime. Less property crime, fewer break-ins and car thefts drove the crime rate down, but there were more murders. Crime peaked in 1991 in Canada but has seen a downward trend since then. The figures, compiled by the Canadian Centre of Justice Statistics and released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday, showed that the 7% increase in homicides to 598 was a result of more killings in Alberta and Quebec. But the report said that "despite annual fluctuations, the homicide rate has generally been declining since peaking in the mid-1970s". As well as murders, other serious crimes were reported to be on the rise, including: But the crime severity index, which measures the seriousness of the crime, was down by 6% last year. For a number of years violent crimes have made up about 20% of all violations reported by police, CBC News reported . The annual report noted that while four out of five adults charged for crimes in Canada were male, the number of female offenders has been rising in recent years. Women accounted for 49% of abduction cases, 47% of prostitution cases, and 37% of thefts under CAN$5,000 (£3,157). Recent figures from the FBI suggests that crime rates are also declining in the US. A 2011 report suggested that in 2010 violent crime had dropped by 6% from the year before - a fourth consecutive annual decline. Property offences were reported to be down by 2.7% from the previous year in the US, data from nationwide law enforcement agencies showed. After outgoings on essentials, local households have £95 a week less to spend than the national average. Analysis by leading economists found one of the main reasons is the lower wages of Northern Ireland workers. The figures are produced in Asda's latest income tracker which draws on work by the Centre for Economics and Business Research in London. It shows the average UK household now has £192 a week of "discretionary income" - money left after all essential items are paid for. In Northern Ireland it is just £97. However, the situation is improving, with spending power growing thanks to "sharp declines" in petrol, food and energy bills. Rob Harbron of CEBR said: "After a difficult few years since the recession, it's encouraging to see household spending power picking up quickly in Northern Ireland." But he added: "We are not quite out of the woods yet as higher inflation next year, the prospect of higher interest rates and continued government cutbacks will all have their effect on family finances." Rubble fell down the 30m-high (100ft) rock face in East Cliff last April. The carriages of the funicular railway - known as East Cliff Lift - were partially engulfed by the landslip, crushing a block of toilets. Clear-up work has been carried out and inspections are due to take place ahead of repairs. Bournemouth Borough Council said 100 rock-filled wire cages, with a total weight of 140 tonnes (140,000 kg), have been removed from the area, and matting has been fitted to the exposed cliff face as protection from wind and rain. "Over the next two weeks specialist rope access teams will be descending from the cliff top to undertake detailed inspections of its condition, together with some minor repairs to the protective matting," said Larry Austin, the council's director of environment. "These inspections will help to establish the scale of works to repair the cliff, costs for which are likely to be significant and will be undertaken within an area designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)." The lift and toilets "are not expected to be reinstated for at least a further two years", the authority added. The area remains fenced off. John Ridsdel, 68, was taken from a tourist resort with three others by the Abu Sayyaf group in September 2015. In November, the Islamist militants released a video showing Mr Ridsdel and three other captives, and demanded a ransom of $80m (£55m). Mr Trudeau called his death "an act of cold-blooded murder". A Philippines army spokesman said Mr Ridsdel's severed head was found on the remote island of Jolo, hours after the Abu Sayyaf ransom deadline expired. Who are the Abu Sayyaf group? Mr Ridsdel was taken to Jolo after being kidnapped from a marina near the city of Davao, along with another Canadian, Robert Hall; a Norwegian, Kjartan Sekkingstad; and a Philippine woman, Mr Hall's girlfriend, Marites Flor. Mr Ridsdel later warned in a video released by the group that he was due to be killed on 25 April if no ransom was paid. The Canadian government has a policy against paying ransoms. Confirming the death of Mr Ridsdel, Mr Trudeau called it a "heinous act". "Canada condemns without reservation the brutality of the hostage-takers, and this unnecessary death. This was an act of cold-blooded murder and responsibility rests squarely with the terrorist group who took him hostage," he said in a statement. One of smallest but most radical of Islamist separatist groups in southern Philippines, its name means "bearer of the sword" in Arabic. It split from the larger Moro National Liberation Front in 1991. Membership is said to number in the low hundreds. The group has been agitating for the creation of an independent Islamic state in predominantly Catholic Philippines, and uses tactics such as hostage-taking and bombings to pressure the government. Several of its factions have pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State. Numerous Filipino and foreign civilians have been kidnapped in south Philippines and parts of neighbouring Malaysia over the decades, and used as hostages to extract ransoms. Though some have been released after negotiations or attacks by Philippine forces, others have been murdered when demands were not met. Abu Sayyaf has also said it carried out bombings in cities in the south and a ferry bombing in 2004 in Manila Bay that killed more than 100 people, considered one of the worst terror attacks in the Philippines. Islamic State threat in Southeast Asia "It's hard," a friend of Mr Ridsdel, Bob Rae, told CBC News. "It's just very hard. I've been involved behind the scenes for the last six months trying to find a solution and it's been very painful." A former mining executive, Mr Ridsdel is described by Canadian media as semi-retired. He also worked as a journalist. Abu Sayyaf was set up in the 1990s and received funding from al-Qaeda. It is fighting for an independent Islamic province in the Philippines. Several of its factions have declared their allegiance to the militant group Islamic State. Abu Sayyaf is also holding several other foreigners. Eighteen Philippine soldiers were killed in clashes with the militants on Basilan island near Jolo island earlier this month. In a video of the incident, a man can be heard encouraging two dogs to drag the cat from an open cage to punish it for eating chickens and pigeons. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum condemned the "brutal and cruel act". Last month, the emir ordered a group of men to clean streets for four hours a day as punishment for reckless driving. It is not clear if the men who fed the cat to the dogs will also face prosecution. Maj Gen Khalil al-Mansouri of Dubai police force's criminal investigation department warned on Tuesday that those convicted of animal cruelty could face jail terms and heavy fines under a new law in the United Arab Emirates. He also urged the public to refrain from posting such videos on social media. A snake is entwined in the undergrowth. It is about 1m long, mostly dull brown but with a vivid yellow underbelly. We are face to face with Guam's "nemesis": the brown tree snake. And the forests here are dripping with them. The US territory, in the western Pacific, is only 50km (30 miles) long and 10km wide, but it is packed with two million snakes. This reptile arrived here only 60 years ago but has rapidly become one of the most successful invasive species ever. Unhealthy appetite Wildlife biologist James Stanford, from the US Geological Survey, says: "Our belief is that they came at the end of World War II. "We've looked at their genetics and they are all extremely closely related, and it appears they came from the Island of Manus in Papua New Guinea." He explains that military equipment used by the US in Papua New Guinea while the war raged in the Pacific was eventually sent back to Guam to be processed. A snake probably crept on to a ship or a plane destined for the island. "And from that handful, or maybe even one already impregnated female, we now have a population that is unbelievable in scale," he says. The snakes, which are mildly venomous, have caused many problems. They get everywhere, and people have even woken up with them in their beds. The island's power system is regularly shorted out by snakes crawling on the lines. It is so frequent the locals now call power cuts "brown outs". But the biggest impact has been on the wildlife - it has been decimated. The forests here are eerily quiet. Now the only place where the Guam's native birds, such as the koko, can be seen on the island are in cages in a captive breeding centre. "The brown tree snake has had a devastating impact. Ten out of 12 native forest bird species disappeared in 30 years," says Cheryl Calaustro from Guam's Department of Agriculture. "The birds here evolved without predators. They were quite naive. And when the snake arrived on Guam it ate eggs, juveniles, adults. Whole generations disappeared." Toxic mouse bombs But the snakes did not stop there. Dr Stanford explains: "We thought it would be limited: 'OK, if it wipes out the birds, it will decline.' It wasn't the case. It just switched what it was feeding on - rodents, lizards, small mammals - across the board." Now the locals are fighting back. And they are unleashing some unusual weapons in their war against the snake. One effort has involved air-dropping mice that have been laced with poison and fitted with parachutes out of helicopters. It provides a deadly dinner for any unsuspecting snakes below. "Right now we are using acetaminophen (paracetamol). It commonly used as a pain reliever and fever reducer in humans, but it is 100% lethal to all brown tree snakes," explains Dan Vice of the US Department of Agriculture. "If they eat that dead mouse containing acetaminophen, they will die." But this is a battle on two fronts. Not only is the US government trying to clear the snakes, it is also trying to prevent the problem being passed to anyone else. And to do this, it has enlisted the help of some small dogs. Snakes on a plane In a busy cargo depot close to the airport, Elmo the Jack Russell, kitted out in a smart, green uniform, is sniffing box upon box of goods waiting for export. He is on the hunt for any unwanted stowaways. As he catches wind of an unusual scent, he begins to scrabble, alerting the government inspector to the presence of a snake - and is rewarded with a treat. A small army of dogs check every single item of cargo before it leaves Guam. "It is a monumental project. We're working 24 hours a day, seven days a week," says Mr Vice. "Cargo doesn't stop, the airport doesn't shut down, so we have to be there to make sure the cargo going on the airplane has indeed been snake inspected." Letting the snakes on a plane could have devastating consequences. Mr Vice says: "Economics researchers have tried to apply the impact of snakes to Hawaii. They found it could cost $400m or more if the snake became established. "The impacts are running across all kinds of parts of the economy. It includes healthcare for humans because the snakes bite people, damage to the power system, lost revenue associated with declines in tourism and ecotourism." However, with so many snakes on the island, controlling the problem is an uphill battle. And today, Guam serves as an example to the world of what happens when an invasive species takes hold. The worry is that it may be too late to clear the infestation, but Mr Vice says this should not stop the islanders from trying. "Our long-term goal is to eradicate the snake," he says. "The problems here are so profound we don't want to let them go anywhere else, and the only way to achieve that is to get rid of them completely." Darren Cooper posted the picture of Darryl Magher on his @sandwellleader profile. Twitter suspended the account but it had been reinstated by 15:30 GMT. Mr Magher said the Labour leader and Smethwick councillor had posted the image in a bid to suppress him and stop him asking difficult questions. "He does not like being challenged and held to account," said Mr Magher, who runs a Facebook page about the Yew Tree area of Sandwell. But Mr Cooper said the image concerned was already in the public domain. He said he had been a victim of trolling and said the complaint was part of a campaign of harassment mounted against him. Asked on BBC WM if he had done anything wrong, he said: "I don't think so. I try to stay within the realms of decency and modesty. "People have a go at you, usually political opponents, and sometimes you have a go back, but I'm not aware of anything I have done that would breach Twitter rules." Twitter said they did not comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons. It referred the BBC to the website's rules.

The 30-year-old was shot on the doorstep of his home in November 2004. A Freedom of Information request by the Press and Journal also reveals that officers have spent almost £15,000 on overtime, hotels, travel and food since April last year. However, Police Scotland has refused to disclose the number of officers who have been involved in the inquiry. The force will also not reveal how many officer hours have been spent on the investigation. The father-of-two was shot with a German-made handgun by a stocky man in a baseball cap who had handed him an envelope. He died later in hospital. A massive police investigation was launched but the murder remains unsolved. The gun involved was found on 8 December 2004 in a drain on Seabank Road, Nairn, by council workers carrying out gully cleaning. Forensic analysis identified it as the murder weapon but tests on the gun failed to extract any DNA. Mr Wilson was shot with a German-made handgun by a stocky man in a baseball cap. The Haenel Suhl Model 1 Schmeisser was manufactured between 1920 and 1945 at a Schmeisser factory in Germany. The ammunition used was .25 calibre made by Sellier and Bellot in the Czech Republic between 1983 and 1993. About 40,000 of the guns were produced in Germany and police suspect the weapon may have been brought back to the UK either as a war trophy, for legitimate export or on the black market. Police have been holding a homicide governance review which looks at previous investigations to ascertain if all possible lines of inquiry have been thoroughly exhausted. In November last year the father-of-two's family said they feared the murderer could kill again. The family said the motive for the shooting was a mystery and it was difficult for his wife and sons to achieve closure. Crimestoppers offered a reward of up to £5,000 for information leading to a conviction. So, showing my press pass, I climbed the stairs into this strange Holy of Holies, where the only other clients in the marble-lined banking hall were priests and nuns. I wrote out a cheque, which the bank clerk cashed after checking my identity. He handed me about 10% more lira than if I had made the transaction in one of the commercial banks just down the street in Italian territory. I had just discovered my very own offshore fiscal paradise. Thus began my short-lived but instructive introductory course into Vatican banking. A few months later, someone leaked what was happening and I could no longer gain access to the Vatican's financial inner sanctum. Then I got to know the Most Reverend Paul Marcinkus, a giant of a priest, who hailed from Chicago, and who had been appointed by Pope Paul VI in 1971 to head the Vatican Bank, the "Institute for the Works of Religion", or IOR in Italian. Pope Paul wanted to show his appreciation of the archbishop's efforts as chief organiser of the first ever visit by a pontiff to the Holy Land in 1964, where he had been the Pope's constant bodyguard and translator. I learned with some surprise that the archbishop had no previous specialist knowledge of international banking. In fact, upon his appointment he had been sent off to Harvard University for a six-week crash course to learn the rudiments of international high finance. During the 1980s, the archbishop got involved in some shady dealings, first with a Mafia-linked Sicilian banker called Michele Sindona, and then with an Italian financier called Roberto Calvi, president of the Banco Ambrosiano, which eventually collapsed with huge debts involving losses of at least $250m (£165m) to the IOR, one of the Banco's shareholders. Mr Calvi eventually ended up dead, hanging from a rope under Blackfriars Bridge in London, victim of a faked suicide. The archbishop was wanted for questioning by Italian prosecutors, not in connection with what turned out to be a Mafia murder, but over the Vatican Bank's losses incurred through the setting up of phony offshore shell companies in the Bahamas. But the burly archbishop successfully claimed diplomatic immunity, taking refuge inside the Vatican at one point. He had a sardonic attitude to his work. "When my workers come to retire, they expect a pension," he once told a friend of mine. "It's no use my saying: I'll pay you in 400 Hail Marys!" Fast forward to the present. The Vatican Bank has once again been in the eye of a storm of scandal. It has been accused of money laundering and lack of due diligence in allowing non-religious, and even crony, businessmen to hold accounts in what amounts to an international offshore tax haven. Pope Benedict XVI attempted in 2010 to bring the IOR back on course by creating a financial information authority to monitor its performance - but promises of greater financial transparency clearly failed to materialise. A boardroom row erupted in 2012, and Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, an Italian economist then at the head of the bank, stormed out of a meeting chaired by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican's secretary of state, and resigned. Mr Gotti Tedeschi is the author of an economic textbook entitled Money and Paradise: The Global Economy and the Catholic World. His post remained empty for nine months and then, on the very eve of Pope Benedict's retirement last February, the pontiff appointed a German banker, Ernst Von Freyberg, to head the IOR. Now, another series of IOR bombshells have burst. Paolo Cipriani, director of the bank, and his deputy Marco Tullio have resigned after the arrest by Italian tax police of a Vatican monsignore who used to work as a senior account manager in the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), which manages Vatican real estate holdings. The monsignore, Nunzio Scarano, is being questioned in jail over allegations of money laundering, corruption and fraud. Pope Francis is scandalised and angry at the goings on behind the scenes at the IOR. He has decided to begin his planned clean-up of the Roman Curia, the central government of the Church, with a complete shakeup at the IOR. Vatican security officers have been instructed to freeze any attempt to meddle with IOR documents, while an internal commission of inquiry with wide powers prepares a secret report on the current financial shenanigans, for the eyes of Pope Francis only. The Vatican Bank is a damaged brand at a moment when the Pope is urging his flock to turn their attention to the plight of the world's poor. There has been speculation that one of Pope Francis' options could be to dissolve the IOR altogether and hand over the Vatican's entire banking operations to a reliable commercial bank. Bali's Denpasar airport has been shut since Tuesday after Mount Rinjani on Lombok island began erupting. Two airports on Lombok and Java have also been closed due to the risk posed by the drifting ash plume. About 700 flights - and the transfer of one of Interpol's most wanted men - have been affected. Debris from Mount Rinjani has spewed 3,500m (11,480 ft) into the air, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said. Nearby towns have been blanketed in grey ash, but locals are not in danger, spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said. Jetstar said it had cancelled all of its Thursday flights in and out of Denpasar, also known as Ngurah Rai, airport. "We've been advised Denpasar Airport will remain closed until tomorrow as the Mount Rinjani ash cloud continues to make flying conditions around Bali unsafe," the airline said in a statement. Virgin Australia and Air Asia have also been forced to ground flights. All airlines should do their best to help a passenger complete their journey, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the UK aviation regulator, told the BBC in July. "The airline has to get you home," he said. "Outside of the EU, you're on slightly less firm ground, though. Passenger rights are nowhere near as well-developed elsewhere as they are in the EU. European passengers are very well-protected." If your flight is cancelled and you are in a hurry to travel, but an airline is unhelpful, the CAA spokesman said the best option would be to buy a new ticket and pursue the matter later with your insurance company and the airline's national regulator. When it comes to compensation however, an ash cloud is outside an airline's control and is classed in the same category as bad weather, meaning there is not a lot companies can do, the CAA said. The deportation of an alleged Indian underworld don has also been delayed by the airport closure, police say. Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje, also known in India as Chota Rajan or "Little Rajan", was detained when he flew into Bali airport from Sydney last month. Police acted on a tip-off from Australian authorities, who said Nikalje had been living in the country under a different name. Interpol's website states that Nikalje was born in Mumbai, and is wanted on multiple charges including murder and possession and use of illegal firearms. Chris Davies from the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Darwin in Australia's north told the BBC earlier this year that it does not take much ash to interfere with flights. "The most dangerous aspect for aviation is that modern jet engines pull in so much air and the ash concentrates in engines and turns into a kind of molten glass," Mr Davies said. "The ash melts, coats inside of the engine and affects fuel flow, so in the worst case scenario it can cause engines to shut off." The Glasgow club secured a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership with Saturday's 1-0 win over Motherwell. Now they have announced funding for the new facility from the Weir family who won £160m on the lottery in 2011. Partick Thistle managing director Ian Maxwell agreed it could help keep the Jags at the top end of the table. "I think it gives us that opportunity," he told BBC Scotland. "It is transformational. This is the missing link we've had for a while. "It is an amazing thing to be able to announce and I don't think the club will truly understand the difference it is going to make until we are 10-15 years down the line and we can see the benefits." No site has yet been earmarked for the project, but the Three Black Cats, a company set up by Colin and Christine Weir to provide long-term investment, hopes to have it up-and-running within two years. "It will be Glasgow or the Greater Glasgow area," said Maxwell, who pointed out that city rivals Celtic and Rangers both already have out-of-town facilities. "It doesn't necessarily have to be Maryhill or anywhere near the stadium." Thistle's various squads presently use different training facilities at locations spread around Glasgow, with Maxwell pointing out that the academy's six teams alone use "half a dozen sites on any night of the week". Now the Three Black Cats will work with the Maryhill-based club to design and build the new training ground to Thistle's specification. It will then be leased to the football club on a long-term basis and Maxwell paid tribute to the Weir family for their latest gesture. "They have been absolutely incredible," he said. "They've been great for the club over a number of seasons. "They have helped with the academy and this is the next step. This is a real legacy statement." Thistle chairman David Beattie said it had been "a long-term ambition of the club" to house their first-team, youth and women's teams in one facility. "The money we currently spend on facilities around Glasgow will be used to service our lease and costs at the new ground," he said. "It reinforces that we are an established Premiership club, with a level of professionalism and ambition that these new facilities will reflect." A Three Black Cats spokesman said they had been looking for a new long-term investment opportunity. "Thistle's ongoing stability - through the club management's financial prudence and through the board's strong leadership - persuaded us that this development is a worthwhile investment, " he said. "It will be an exciting project and we are keen to get on with securing land as soon as possible. "It is our intention to have the facility completed and operational within two years and will work closely with Thistle to ensure that it is fit for purpose." Thistle Weir Youth Academy director Gerry Britton hopes it will help the club fill their first-team with home-grown players and become one of the best places in the country to produce new talent. "I really still can't believe it," he said. "It is always something we had dreamt of - to have our new facility - and it's fantastic news. "It might double the amount of contact time we have with each player and it will enhance their development and ability to reach their potential." The alleged victim said PCs David Scott and Greg Mead punched him "20 to 30 times" and smashed his head on his kitchen floor, in September 2013. But the panel said the evidence was unreliable and the case was dismissed. Observers at the hearing were told not to use social media while evidence was presented and to remain silent. They had to pledge not to leave the room until a break in proceedings and were not allowed to enter the room until there was a break. Northamptonshire Police said 12 conditions were set to ensure" as little disruption as possible. The move followed a Home Office directive earlier this year that such cases should be held in public. The Scottish government has said raising attainment is a key priority. Education conveners from 28 local authorities, which run schools, will debate the issue at the meeting hosted by council umbrella body Cosla. They are expected to focus on how money resulting from council tax changes will be spent. From next April, people in the most expensive homes will pay more. This is because the multiples between the different property bands will change - those in the most expensive bands will pay more, irrespective of whether a council decides to put up the basic level of the council tax. The government wants the £100m this is expected to raise handed to headteachers to spend directly on their schools - specifically on schemes to help raise attainment and close the gap between how well youngsters from relatively rich and poor backgrounds do. Some in local government want to ensure councils retain the freedom to decide for themselves just how much they need to spend on education and would want to automatically retain all the extra money from the council tax changes. Critics also fear that the government could, in effect, decide to put the money into a national pot to redistribute back to councils or individual schools. Some areas would receive more or less than they would have raised locally. Some councils would react furiously to any attempt by central government to take the money from them or dictate just how it would be spent. No decisions have been taken yet by the Scottish government although it has made it clear it wants all the extra money spent on education. The issue is likely to come up during the talks between councillors and the government over next year's funding package. On Monday, Education Secretary John Swinney told BBC Scotland there were "detailed arrangements to be discussed with local government" on future changes. He explained: "We made clear in our election manifesto that we would change some of the aspects of council collection, to expand the bands and increase some of the thresholds and that would generate £100m which we would invest in the attainment fund." The picture shows the royals together in the garden at Kensington Palace. It was taken in October by photographer Chris Jelf, who said: "I hope everyone enjoys this photo and I am honoured that the duke and duchess have decided to share it with the public." The family released the picture as part of an announcement that Prince George will be starting at nursery in January. Kensington Palace said that the royal couple were "very much looking forward to their first Christmas as a family of four" and "hugely appreciative of all the warm messages they have received about their family this year". This is especially crucial in the developing world, where Unesco says the digitilisation of learning could be a means of accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, such as ensuring access to primary school for all children. This process is already evident in Africa, which according to Unesco has 30 million primary-age children not attending school, over half the global total. Yet the continent is overcoming challenges surrounding lack of internet access and electricity to become a major player in the e-learning space. According to a recent report from Ambient Insights, Africa is the region globally where e-learning revenues are most likely to increase, with South Africa the leading market on the continent. The University of South Africa (Unisa), which teaches through distance learning, has over 310,000 South African and international students enrolled. And mobile operators have launched digital learning projects, such as Vodacom's "e-school" offering online educational content. All over the country, companies of all shapes and sizes are tapping into the growth of the digital learning market. Chris Rawlinson, founder of South African e-learning company, 42courses, says: "We are living in a world where two billion more people from mostly emerging markets are about to get online." "There is little to no chance that we will be able to get teachers and bricks and mortar schools in the number needed to these locations fast enough. "A part of the solution will have to be that e-learning will have to start to become a lot more accessible, and work a lot better than it currently does." His start-up has partnerships with brands such as Ogilvy and Barclays to produce courses allowing students to learn from experts in a particular field. Each course is designed almost like an interactive book, with text, images, videos and links for further reading. South Africa's approach to e-learning has to adapt to the local conditions - such as coping with slow or expensive internet. The Cape Town-based Rethink Education has a learning app for maths and science, presenting content in the form of text, videos, images and diagrams, with users required to interact with this content. Project manager Storme Magee says part of its popularity is that it doesn't need a fast online connection or take up too much space on mobile phones. "The app is a web-app rather than a native app. This means that it does not require any downloading or updates. It also does not use up any phone storage. "Therefore teens do not have to compromise on their music, photos and videos to learn," she said. There are broader applications of e-learning than simply as a revision tool, however. South Africans are also using such platforms to develop their professional skills. GetSmarter is one such company in this space. The firm partners with leading universities to make online courses in a variety of subject areas. The short, tutor-led courses run for 10 weeks, with students committing to between seven and 15 hours of study per week. More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective, and how to get in touch. You can join the debate at the BBC's Family & Education News Facebook page. In 2016 the platform educated over 15,000 students from 139 countries around the world. "We consistently achieve over 90% completion rates," said chief executive officer, Sam Paddock, who attributes this to having more engagement with students than some online courses. He says online learning could not only reach otherwise excluded students, it could also change how lessons are taught. "Online courses promise increased access to education. They also promise an opportunity to explore and evolve pedagogy - the art and science of teaching and learning," said Mr Paddock. "In a digital classroom environment, everything can be measured in a way that is not feasible in a physical classroom." South Africa's university system has been facing a crisis, with institutions closed as students have protested against fee rises and criticised the quality of education available to them. E-learning could also have a part to play in higher education. Hertzy Kabeya is managing director of The Student Hub, which is rolling out an online study support platform, ERAOnline, for tertiary students. This is a web-based application for delivering electronic educational technology courses in universities, with interactive features such as the chance for students to connect with each other and with subject experts. But Mr Kabeya believes that to make the most of digital learning schools and higher education institutions will have to be willing to adapt. "The government is injecting significant amounts of cash in the sector to boost e-learning and help solve some of these problems," he said. "To speed up the uptake we need institutions to be a lot more flexible to review their current teaching and learning methods. "Injecting money and increasing budgets for e-learning can contribute to increase adoption, but institutions have to be a lot more flexible, less bureaucratic, and willing to review traditional methods," said Mr Kabeya. This year has seen most parts of the UK being affected, with thousands of properties being flooded. Despite efforts to improve and strengthen community flood defence schemes, many homes and businesses remain vulnerable. The Environment Agency acknowledges that it is impossible to completely flood-proof a property, but there are a number of measures to prevent flood-water getting in and limit the damage. There are a number of routes in which floodwater can enter a property. As well as coming through doors and patios, water can find its way in through air bricks on exposed walls and through gaps in the floor. Another way is via through drains and pipes as the pressure created by flooding can reverse the flow, causing water to back-up and enter a home through sinks, toilets, washing machines etc. The Environment Agency lists two ways that homes and businesses can protect properties: "flood resistance" measures, and making a building "flood resilient". Flood resistance refers to preventing water from entering in the first place. The traditional methods of using sandbags can help for short periods when used in conjunction with plastic sheeting, and they can prevent contaminated mud and silt from entering a property. But they do allow water to seep through and are not as effective as purpose-designed flood products. There are a range of products on the market that are designed to offer protection. These include: Flood protection experts recommend that people buy products that have been awarded a kitemark, as this means that the product has undergone a series of tests to ensure it is fit for purpose. If a product is awarded a kitemark, it means that it meets the requirements outlined in PAS-1188 - a quality benchmark developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), the Environment Agency and other partners. The benchmark covers a range of product types, including removable products that act as barriers across vulnerable points, such as doors and airbricks; temporary, freestanding barriers which are assembled close to, but not in contact with, a building; and property flood skirt systems. As well as fitting flood protection measures to your home, another measure is landscaping your garden in a way that helps divert water away from your property. From the BBC: Elsewhere: It is impossible to guarantee that flood-water will not enter your property, even if you have taken steps to protect your property. The Environment Agency lists a number of ways to make your home "flood resilient", which will limit the damage and allow residents to return to their property quickly (on average, people are unable to live in their homes for nine months after being flooded). These include: This will depend on the size of your property and the level of flood resistance and resilience you require. Figures from the Association of British Insurers (ABI) estimate that protecting a property against shallow flash floods will cost in the region of £2,000-£6,000. However, protection against prolonged flooding requires bigger changes and could cost up to £40,000. But the Environment Agency says taking measures to protect your property will limit the distress and damage caused by flooding, reduce the level of repairs and will allow you to return to your home or business more quickly. As an estimated one-in-six homes are located within at-risk areas, more than one million people have signed up to the Environment Agency's flood warning service. As well as its flood warning service, the Agency has a section on its website that offers practical advice on how people can protect their homes and businesses from flooding, including an interactive guide on ways to reduce flood damage. It also offers advice on how to develop a "flood plan" and what you and your neighbours need to do once a flood warning has been issued for your area. The National Flood Forum, a charity that is dedicated to representing people living in areas at risk from flooding, has produced the "blue pages", which is an independent directory of flood protection products. Last summer, sitting outside his pub near Dover, landlord Nigel Wyndmus saw a small dinghy. A cutter from the coastguard drew up alongside. At first he mistook what was happening for a training exercise. "The boat was just a few hundred yards out," Mr Wyndmus said, "and we realised that it was illegal immigrants trying to get to England." He added: "People coming across on boats was not really considered an option" - he believed it was all done by stowaways boarding lorries and trying to break into the Channel Tunnel. But now it seems that an unknown number of migrants have made the desperate decision to swim towards England from the French coast. While some may try to stagger their journey by taking advantage of small dinghies or yachts, we now know that others try to swim the whole way - across one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. After months of research by Norway's Dagbladet newspaper, the identities of two men who tried to do this was revealed. They bought a wetsuit on the same day last October and were never heard from again. They may have tried to board a boat of the kind seen by locals in the Coastguard pub, or they may have decided to swim the whole way. Journalist Anders Fjellberg was alarmed when he first read that a body had been found in a wetsuit in southern Norway. "My initial reaction was: I hope it's not somebody I know, because I surf and the surf community in Norway is quite small - and if someone is found in a wetsuit they could have been a surfer," he recalls. But after checks with the police, the case was linked to another discovery of human remains - also in a wetsuit - but this time in the Netherlands. "The Dutch police managed to trace both of the wetsuits by the serial number to a sports shop in Calais. So I went there with photographer Tomm W Christiansen to learn how anyone could be that desperate," says Mr Fjellberg. "What is it about this place and these people that drives them to this kind of desperation?" At first the trail went cold, as the shop staff said the men who bought the suits looked like Afghans. But as reports trickled out online, the men heard from a man who had been looking for a missing Syrian migrant named Mouaz al-Balkhi. Tracing first the man's uncle in the northern English town of Bradford, then his parents in Amman in Jordan, the journalists arranged for a DNA test. The test was inconclusive for the body found in Norway, but it was a match for the remains washed up in the Netherlands. "Mouaz was a very kind brother and a great cook," says his sister Rahaf al-Balkhi speaking to us from Amman in Jordan. "We left Syria and he stayed behind to finish his studies in Damascus." He joined the family in Jordan but left for Libya looking for a job. His family heard from him regularly, but never saw him again. He said he wanted to go to England to continue his studies. "The last time I heard from him was on 7 October in Calais," says Rahaf. That is the date the two wetsuits were bought, and along with the DNA tests it proves to Rahaf that her brother is dead. "The last thing he said to me was 'I miss you Rahaf.' At first I couldn't believe it, but it's better to know what happened to him." Later the family and the journalists were contacted by friends of another Syrian man who had gone missing on the same day - 7 October. His name was Shadi Omar Kataf, and after DNA tests he was identified as the body that had washed up in Norway. It emerged that he and his sister had fled a refugee camp in Syria controlled by Islamic State militants and later went missing, assumed kidnapped. "We don't know how the two men met, but we heard they'd crossed to Italy from Libya just two days apart," says Mr Fjellberg. Back in Dover, landlord Nigel Wyndmus is shocked and saddened by the news of the men's fate. "But unless you actually go to Calais and look back, the view across does make it look a lot closer than it actually is, and I'm sure if you've travelled halfway around Europe, you're going to look at it and think I could swim that," he said. As we speak, we're sitting beneath the White Cliffs, famous for marking England's coast to sailors for hundreds of years, and famous too in song in the hearts of British people. "The sun hits the cliffs and because they're taller, they look closer from France," Mr Wyndmus says. "The white cliffs of Dover have always come over as an emblem of freedom and maybe that's what they are latching onto, that things are better there. I think when you get to that final step it looks within reach." Diabetes UK warns there are some areas where only 6% of people are getting the recommended regular checks and services. Its head said the State of the Nation 2012 report showed people with diabetes were getting "second rate care". Ministers said the report would encourage local NHS services to act. Diabetes is a condition in which the amount of glucose in the blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly. Type 1 diabetes develops if the body cannot produce any insulin and usually develops by the age of 40. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly and in most cases is linked with being overweight. Between 2006 and 2011 the number of people diagnosed with diabetes in England has increased by 25%, from 1.9m to 2.5m. Almost all - 90% - have type 2 diabetes. BBC Health: Diabetes in-depth It is also estimated that up to 850,000 people have diabetes but are unaware of it. Diabetes is now the biggest single cause of amputation, stroke, blindness and kidney failure. Spending on the condition accounts for around 10% of the NHS budget. Diabetes UK says that because so many people are missing out on the relevant checks, there has been a rise in complications such as amputation, blindness, kidney failure and stroke. Such complications account for about 80% of NHS spending on diabetes, it says. A National Service Framework for diabetes was drawn up in 2001, but the charity says its recommendations are not being followed. Diabetes UK wants better risk assessment and early diagnosis for people with the condition. It says a national audit found only 50% of people with diabetes get all the recommended health checks - ranging from 6% in the worst areas to 69% in the best. For children with diabetes, just 4% have all their annual checks, they claim. Barbara Young, Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, said: "This report shows how in exchange for this investment we are getting second rate healthcare that is putting people with diabetes at increased risk of tragic complications and early death. "Above all, the wide variation in standards of care shows the need for a national plan to be put in place for giving people with diabetes the kind of healthcare that can help prevent complications, as well as a greater focus on preventing Type 2 diabetes. "By taking the longer-term approach of investing in making sure people get the basic checks and services, we could save money by reducing the number of complications and make life immeasurably better for people with diabetes." Care Services Minister Paul Burstow said there was still much to be done to tackle diabetes. "Our focus is on prevention and education, with more done to get earlier diagnoses and to help people manage their conditions themselves. "This report and our new strategy will help local NHS services act so that diabetics get the care they need and deserve." The 31-year-old came to Brazil as the most decorated Olympian in history and has now won 23 medals at five Games. But how does the American's tally compare to current Olympic countries? A selected all-time medal table shows Phelps in joint 35th position, ahead of the likes of India, which has a population of over 1.2 billion. Great Britain's own leading Olympic gold medal-winner, cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, has six to his name, which leaves him joint 50th in the table along with Indonesia, Croatia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Morocco and Lithuania. There are 206 countries with delegates competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Phelps has more gold medals than 170 of those countries - more than 80%. Greenland and Western Sahara are both grey on this map as they are not currently Olympic countries. All stats are accurate as of the end of day two in Rio. Or you may need it simply to pay the bills. Yet last week the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) suggested that equity release - once "a dirty word" - still has problems with its public image. More than that, it implied that consumers are paying too much for a product whose effect can be to eat up all their savings, leaving nothing to pass on to their descendants. But the industry is fighting back. It argues that the fees it charges are justified, and says there's never been a better time to take out a policy. So what's the problem with equity release - and what should home-owners consider before signing up to it? If you are approaching retirement - or just need some cash - you can raise money against the value of your house. Traditionally, equity released worked like this: a finance company purchases a proportion of your house. In exchange for cash they actually own a stake in the property, but they only get their money back (plus any profit from rising house values) when you die or move out and the property is sold. This is known as a home reversion plan. These days 99% of equity release products are based on a different model: a lifetime mortgage. The homeowner retains full ownership of the property but borrows money using the house as security, just like a normal mortgage. But the mortgage term is only up when you die, meaning your estate pays back the money not you. In the meantime interest accumulates on the loan, just like with a traditional mortgage. It all sounds like a win-win, both for the customer and the provider. But if that is the true, why did only 21,000 UK homeowners take out equity release plans last year? Given that 3.4m homeowners in England alone are between the ages of 65 and 74, that means that less than 0.5% of likely customers are currently signing up. Here's the first problem: When you take out a lifetime mortgage, the interest rate you pay is higher than an ordinary residential mortgage. The cheapest currently available is 5.4%, which is fixed for life. But, also unlike a residential equivalent, lifetime mortgages involve compound interest. So, assume your house is worth £300,000, and you take out £100,000 in an equity release plan, at the age of 60. After year one, the amount you owe will be £105,400. That sum will then be used as the baseline to calculate the following year's interest, and so on. After 20 years -should you reach 80 - you will owe £286,293. True, the house may have gone up in value, but if not, you will have just £13,707 left to pass on. Live just one year more, and you will have nothing left at all. How compound interest eats your money "People don't understand the way it builds up," says Merryn Somerset Webb, the editor in chief of Money Week. "They find it very difficult to grasp the the concept of compound interest. It just needs to be clearer," she says. The industry argues that lifetime mortgages are expensive, because providers are, in effect, making a triple bet: On house prices, interest rates, and how long you will live. "We can't do anything about compound interest," says Nigel Waterson, chairman of the Equity Release Council. "As Einstein said, it's the most powerful force on the planet." It's simply the cost of providing consumer protection, he says, such as guaranteeing that home-owners will not be responsible for any negative equity. Those most likely to think of equity release as a dirty word are, of course, the children likely to be disinherited. But if you have no one to pass your house on to, equity release could suit you perfectly. Cyril and Jenny Barrett, from Oxfordshire, have no children, and didn't want the taxman to benefit from their death. So in May this year they took out a lifetime mortgage on their £500,000 bungalow. They are both in their late 60s. They decided to withdraw £158,000, to spend on a new kitchen, and a camper van. "We have nobody to leave our house to. It's quite a problem for us actually," says Cyril. Given their mortgage rate of 5.8%, they will owe their provider £501,766 in 20 years' time, more than the house is currently worth. But any debt will be written off. "It does seem too good to be true," says Jenny. "I'm waiting for the day they come and tell us something bad." The companies who provide lifetime mortgages argue that the benefit homeowners are likely to get from rising prices will more than compensate for hefty charges. "The rising value of their home can help offset the interest owed through equity release, which should ease fears that some have of eroding their housing equity," says Simon Chalk, of provider Age Partnership. He advises those who want to pass money on to their children to take out no more than 20% of the equity. Take someone whose house is worth £250,000, and who takes 20% in cash. Twelve years later, the amount they owe the lender will have doubled. But assuming house prices rise at an annual rate of at least 2%, they will still own more than £200,000 of equity. This they can pass on, subject to Inheritance Tax. Indeed part of the industry's argument - to be published in full next week - is that house prices are subject to the same compounding principle that applies to the charges - but this time to the benefit of home-owners. Does all that mean equity release remains a dirty word? "There's a gulf between the industry and the client that hasn't yet been bridged," says Merryn Somerset Webb. But Nigel Waterson remains defensive. "These days equity release is a safe and well-regulated product," he maintains. In the months ahead the FCA will be examining how this market might be made to work more effectively. But right now it's hard to imagine what new product might emerge, or whether this industry can silence its critics, permanently. The Northern Council of Mosques, representing 400 mosques, says this "encroaches" on religious freedom. The Muslim supplementary schools would have to comply with plans for tighter scrutiny over "out-of-school education settings" if the plans were introduced. The government's consultation on the proposals closes on Monday. And the Department for Education has indicated that it makes "no apology" for wanting to ensure children are properly protected. David Cameron has warned that "teaching intolerance" had to be stopped. But in a response, the mosque leaders say the plans are based on "the flawed assumption that radicalisation takes place within some madrassas" and that such "control and monitoring" over lessons would "effectively lead to a form of state sanctioned religious expression". They say the registration and inspection plan "unduly encroaches on the legitimate right of faith providers to teach their children their faith". The mosque leaders also take issue with the use of the term "extremism" saying it is vaguely defined and "potentially all-encompassing". In his speech to the Conservative party conference, the prime minister called for such places of religious education to be registered and open to inspection, in a speech warning against the risk of extremist teaching. He claimed that in some madrassas, children were "having their heads filled with poison and their hearts filled with hate". This was followed by plans from the Department for Education for the compulsory registration of out-of-school places of education, such as madrassas, which currently operate outside of the oversight of the authorities. It would give inspectors powers to ensure that children were "properly safeguarded" and would allow sanctions to be imposed, such as barring individuals from teaching or shutting down such centres where failings were found. As well as stopping "unsuitable staff" and "undesirable teaching" it would mean preventing corporal punishment. Such regulation would apply to places where children were regularly taught six to eight hours a week - and not to occasional or less frequent sessions. But the Northern Council of Mosques, with a membership in places such as Bradford, Manchester and Rochdale, says such an approach will be counter-productive and will "alienate" faith groups. The mosque group say that young people need to be able to debate ideas openly and "faith providers may simply avoid such open conversations with children for fear of being labelled extremists themselves". There are believed to be about 2,000 madrassas in the UK. They teach Muslim children subjects such as Arabic to recite the Koran and lessons in the principles and practices of their faith. A Department for Education spokesman said: "We recognise many out-of-school education settings do a great job in supporting children's education and development but, without proper oversight, there is a risk that some children attending them may be exposed to harm, including from extremism. "We want to hear the views of all interested parties about how settings which children attend intensively might be required to register so that they can be inspected in a way that does not place unnecessary burdens on good providers." As well as extra scrutiny for part-time, out-of-school settings, Ofsted has called for illegal, unregistered schools to be shut down. Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw said inspectors had found "squalid" conditions in places teaching children for more than 20 hours a week, which were not registered or accountable to inspectors, local authorities or the Department for Education. American pair Johnson and Spieth and Kaymer of Germany start their rounds from the 10th on Thursday at 14:35 BST.

Full tee times. Simon Heslop thought he had won it for York in the 88th minute, but Ricky Shakes went to the other end and levelled things up. Heslop drove through a crowded box to put City ahead, but before the home side could celebrate, Shakes did similarly to bring his side back square. In a tight affair, Daniel Nti's 77th-minute effort for York was about as close as either side went before the goals, his strike blocked as it headed for the bottom corner.

Judge Lord Eassie said the Court of Justice of the European Union should give its opinion on the proposal. The case was brought by The Scotch Whisky Association, which argued the legislation breached European law. Holyrood ministers have said minimum pricing was vital to address Scotland's "unhealthy relationship with drink". The Court of Session judgement means there could be a delay of up to two years before Scottish government plans to set a 50p rate per unit of alcohol can be implemented. By Reevel AldersonHome affairs correspondent, BBC Scotland Although the Court of Session is Scotland's highest civil court, it is now asking another court for its views on the government's minimum pricing proposals. Judges in Edinburgh will ask the Court of Justice of the European Union for a "preliminary ruling" - on whether the proposals would be valid under EU law. The procedure exists to ensure EU law is properly applied in each country. But before the case can be heard by the court in Luxembourg, the questions it will be asked must be decided. This will involve another hearing in Edinburgh at which the Scottish government and the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) along with other parties to the case will give their views. Overall, it could take between 15 months and two years before a ruling will be given by Luxembourg. Even then it may not be possible for the Scottish government to implement the policy, enacted in May 2012, for a minimum price of 50p per unit of alcohol. Either the government or the SWA could appeal to the UK Supreme in London, a process which would take several months more. However today's reference to Luxembourg would at least mean that there could be no further appeal in the case to a European court. The Scotch Whisky Association, whose members account for more than 90% of the industry's production, had appealed against a Court of Session ruling that the minimum alcohol pricing policy was within the powers of Scottish ministers and not incompatible with EU law. Two major European wine and spirit organisations are also party to the SWA's appeal. Scottish Health Secretary Alex Neil said he was "frustrated" at the challenge to a democratic decision of the Scottish Parliament but expressed determination to see it through. Mr Neil said a final decision would be made by the Court of Session, once legal opinion was received from the Court of Justice, in Luxembourg. He added: "The first time we went to the Court of Session they gave us a ringing endorsement and were very clear that what we were doing was perfectly legitimate in law and I'm very confident we will end up with that decision being reinforced in two years' time." In his written judgement, Lord Eassie said: "We have come to the view that - as heralded in the debate before us - the present proceedings raise aspects of those tests and of the role of the national court which are not clearly established. "There are thus aspects relating to the Scottish ministers claim of justification under article 36 TFEU (Treaty of the Functioning of the EU) which we consider that it would be of help to have the guidance of the Court of Justice of the European Law." Liver deaths Legislation to bring in the government's price plan was passed by parliament in May 2012 but ongoing legal challenges have prevented the policy from being implemented. According to NHS figures, Scottish deaths from chronic liver disease are among the highest in Europe, while alcohol kills the equivalent of 20 people a week in Scotland. Scottish ministers said their minimum pricing plan, under which the ­cheapest bottle of wine would be £4.69 and a four-pack of lager would cost at least £3.52, would help tackle the problem. Scotch Whisky Association chief executive David Frost, said of the latest ruling: "We are pleased that the Court of Session in Edinburgh is referring the minimum unit pricing case to the Court of Justice of the European Union. "From the outset we said that we believed minimum unit pricing was contrary to European Union law and that it was likely in the end to go to the European Court. "We also believe minimum unit pricing would be ineffective in tackling alcohol misuse and would damage the Scotch Whisky industry in the UK and overseas." The UK government previously shelved plans for minimum pricing in England and Wales, after Prime Minister David Cameron cited concerns over evidence it would not work and possible legal challenges. Is that true? It depends on what you consider to be a major economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reckoned in January that the UK grew by 2.6% in 2014. That is indeed faster than other countries in the G7 advanced economies, including the USA (2.4%), Canada (2.4%), Japan (0.1%), France (0.4%), Germany (1.5%) and Italy (which shrank by 0.4%). However, the IMF said China was likely to have grown by 7.4% in 2014 and India by 5.8%. This is broadly in line with several other forecasting bodies. Many economists would consider those two countries to be "major economies". It's worth noting that these figures are forecasts because we don't yet have final IMF statistics for the whole of 2014. There are also national figures which might differ. The UK's Office for National Statistics said yesterday that the UK grew by 2.8% last year. But the UK's lead in the G7 may be short-lived - the IMF predicts that the USA will grow faster than the UK in 2015. What's the truth behind the politicians' claims on the campaign trail? Our experts investigate the facts, and wider stories, behind the soundbites. Read latest updates or follow us on Twitter @BBCRealityCheck Ten sailors are still missing after the USS John S McCain collided with an oil tanker near Singapore on Monday. Navy officials say human remains have since been found in sealed compartments on board the ship, which is now in port in Singapore. The crash was the fourth such incident in a year. In a statement, the Navy said it had lost confidence in Vice Adm Aucoin's ability to command. The Seventh Fleet, based in Yokosuka, Japan, is the largest forward-­deployed fleet in the US Navy, with some 50 to 70 vessels and submarines. Vice Adm Aucoin, who has been its commander since 2015, was due to retire within weeks. His designated successor will replace him immediately. His removal is the latest in a series of steps taken by Navy officials after the USS John S McCain collision. It is not clear when a formal announcement will be made. The incident triggered a rare worldwide "operational pause" of the US Navy's fleets as well as a review of operations. The USS John S McCain was east of Singapore when it collided with the oil tanker Alnic MC before dawn on Monday. The collision left a large hole in the destroyer's port side - the left-hand side of the vessel facing forward - and flooded compartments including crew berths. Five sailors were injured. The destroyer is now at the Changi naval base in Singapore. Ships, equipment and aircraft from the American, Indonesian, Malaysian and Singapore navies have been involved in the search for the 10 missing sailors. On Tuesday, officials announced that human remains had been found in the sealed flooded compartments of the destroyer. They are also verifying the identity of a body found at sea by the Malaysian navy. The Alnic MC sustained damage to a tank near the front of the ship, but none of its crew were injured and there were no oil spills. The incident marked the fourth time this year that a US Navy vessel has been involved in an accident in Asia. Two months ago, seven US sailors were killed when the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship in Japanese waters near the port city of Yokosuka. Those who died were found in flooded berths on board the ship after the collision caused a gash under the warship's waterline. The US Navy said last week that about a dozen sailors would be disciplined, and the commanding officer and other senior crew would be taken off the ship. In May, a guided missile cruiser collided with a South Korean fishing vessel, while in January another cruiser ran aground near the 7th Fleet base in Yokosuka. On Wednesday, Mr Paisley said police officers involved in the killing of Colum Marks should be given medals rather than face investigation. Marks, 29, was shot in 1991 in Downpatrick, County Down. Sinn Féin's Mickey Brady said Mr Paisley's comments were "crass and disgusting". "No one can be above or beyond the law, whether he is a friend of Ian Paisley's or not," said the Newry and Armagh MP. "This is a further indication of the DUP's attempts to whitewash the past and it is symptomatic of their abject failure to deal with the legacy of the conflict." A new investigation was to be launched into Marks' killing in June 2016 after a new eyewitness account emerged. Mr Paisley said the man who fired the shot would be "traumatised" by another investigation. He added the British government should be honouring the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer and his team for "taking out one of Ulster's worst terrorist criminals" rather than "dragging them through the process of constantly going over what they did". The police officer who fired the shots previously said he believed Marks was armed at the time, and claimed he refused to stop when an attempt was made to arrest him. No gun was ever found, and his family claimed Mr Marks was shot after being arrested. The Shakers had the majority of the early pressure and top scorer Leon Clarke finished Chris Hussey's cross. Ryan Lowe doubled the lead with a placed effort before Marcus Maddison gave Posh hope with his strike. However, Ricardo Santos was sent off for a second bookable offence for the visitors and Andrew Tutte smashed home from the resultant free-kick. Bury go above Peterborough into 13th in League One and Graham Westley's side has lost every game since losing to West Bromwich Albion on penalties in an FA Cup fourth-round replay. Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "It was a positive result and a positive performance. Another win at home. "In the first half we tore them to shreds in every way. Every time we attacked them we looked threatening. "Some of what we've missed at times was totally on display tonight. "It was a real makeshift team, and that's what pleased me more than anything. It was about the lads that keep stepping up." The Sutton Trust charity's research found the 100 most socially selective schools used up to 18 categories to decide on oversubscribed places. These schools tend to be faith-based, with religious families coming from higher social groups, it added. Researchers compared the social make-up of schools with their local areas. They identified the schools with the greatest difference between rates of free school meal pupils in schools and in their surrounding neighbourhood. Socially selective schools are defined as those which have free school meal rates much lower than the population in their localities. They were almost all in urban areas where it is possible for children to walk to a number of schools. The report said: "The most socially selective primary schools tend to use more complex oversubscription criteria than the typical primary school, which uses about five criteria. "In our close examination of the 100 most socially selective primary schools we find as many as 18 oversubscription criteria used in one school and several instances where the school appears to contravene the admissions code. "In these schools, oversubscription criteria are often faith-based, with governing bodies taking the final decision on admissions. "This gives greater choice of schools to church-going families, but this also exacerbates inequalities in choice because those families are more likely to be of a higher social class." Here oversubscription criteria are often applied on the basis of the scale of parents' religious practice, most notably the frequency of church attendance. It particularly highlights Catholic primary schools as particularly socially selective when compared to that of their local area. This is because oversubscribed Catholic schools will often select pupils only on the basis of faith, whereas Church of England schools will include a quota of pupils from non-religious families. But the Catholic Education Service said its schools were the most ethnically and socially diverse in the country and in general had catchment areas 10 times larger than the average school. "What's more, because of the high standards achieved by Catholic schools they are extremely popular with parents of all faiths and none. "We do however, welcome the report's recommendations that religious admissions criteria should be simple, consistent and properly enforced," it said. The report added that the relationship between school Ofsted ratings and social selectivity was predictable, with schools with a higher proportion of wealthier pupils likely to do better. It said: "We classify 13% of Ofsted's 'outstanding' schools as socially selective, compared to 7% of 'requires improvement' schools and 65% of 'inadequate' schools." The Department for Education spokesman said: "Determining admissions policies on the basis of wealth is both morally wrong and against the law. "All schools must follow the School Admissions Code which should make sure school places are allocated fairly, with an admissions policy that does not unfairly disadvantage children from a particular social or racial group, or those with a disability or special educational needs. "Parents with concerns should report them to the Schools Adjudicator, who can intervene." Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust, said: "Disadvantaged young people should have the same chance of accessing the best state school in their neighbourhood as their better off neighbour. "We have previously documented social selectivity in secondary schools, but today's findings warn us that primary school admissions are far from a level-playing field." Head of the NASUWT teaching union, Chris Keates, said key provisions in the admissions code had been diluted. "Consequently we now have selection by stealth, as practices are introduced which are designed to deter children from socio-economically deprived backgrounds, with increasing numbers of parents unable to secure a place in their local school," she said. Last year the Office of the Schools Adjudicator said oversubscription arrangements in some schools appear to allow them "to choose which children to admit". It added that too many schools who set and run their own admissions did not comply with Department for Education rules. Thomas Morin, from Edinburgh, pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the incident, which happened just before 10:00 on Saturday 4 March. Officers patrolling the station arrested and detained Morin after hearing his comments. PC Alan Kavanagh said intimidating abuse would not be tolerated. L/Cpl Christopher Roney, of 3rd Battalion The Rifles, died from head injuries while serving at Patrol Base Almas, in Sangin, Helmand, in 2009. An inquest in Sunderland heard two US Apache helicopters fired 200 rounds before they realised their mistake. Coroner Derek Winter said the death was down to a "tragic error". The hearing was told the base had come under attack from insurgents and the platoon based there was busy fighting them off when air support was called in. A drone fitted with a camera and the two helicopters flew to the patrol base, which was a compound with mud walls bought from a local owner some weeks before and was not on official maps. British troops on the ground, who by this stage had won a firefight against their attackers, were incorrectly identified as the enemy and they were hit by 30mm chain gun rounds. This was despite the patrol base, 3km from Forward Operating Base Jackson, having a flagpole, a washing line, defensive constructions and personnel who were not dressed like the enemy, Mr Winter said. Gunfire from the helicopters left 11 injured on the ground, the coroner said. L/Cpl Roney, a married former drayman, received emergency treatment, but died from his injuries the next day. In his opening statement, Mr Winter said the Apache crews had not been informed, nor did they ask, for the exact location of base Almas. He said: "As a consequence, they were unaware that the compound they were observing and in which they believed they had positively identified insurgents was, in fact Patrol Base Almas." He said in circumstances of "total disorientation" the helicopters were authorised to engage. "Fused by the overwhelming belief that Patrol Base Almas was at risk of being overrun, the subsequent reactions and actions to these events created a devastating cumulative effect," he said. Mr Winter said due to the involvement of the US helicopters, the number of personnel and the different locations, the sequence of events that had unfolded was "highly complex". He also said he would be considering the "cumulative human factor elements" as well as any lessons learnt from the tragedy. L/Cpl Roney's commanding officer, Capt Palmer Winstanley, told the inquest in his opinion the helicopters need not have been called in as his officers were winning the battle with the insurgents. He said: "We could have won the firefight... As we were, we were OK. "We were pretty much winning the firefight, which means we pushed them back to a safe distance and hopefully they were going to move off into the night." He described the Apache attack as "like nothing I have ever experienced before". He said men were injured, a communication mast destroyed and the picture became confused as he was unaware any helicopters were in the area. Once the enemy saw what was happening they pressed again with their attack and got within 30m (98ft) of the compound, he added. Their raid only ended when a bomb was dropped on their base. The inquest is expected to last five days. Peter Telfer, 25, denies murdering John Baker in the Calton area of Glasgow on 29 June 2016. Witness Danielle McNaughton told the High Court in Glasgow that Mr Telfer was "hyper" and allegedly had a knife. Mr Baker's friend later told the jury how the 76-year-old was his "smiling self" the night before he died. During the probe into Mr Baker's death, Ms McNaughton, 18, had told how she had been out with friends in Glasgow city centre last June 28 and Mr Telfer was there. She told officers: "He was asking everybody in the group who was up for going to rob somebody with him. "He was pure hyper and was saying that he was going to slit the person's throat and do them in." Miss McNaughton added he "looked bouncing". Asked by prosecutor Iain McSporran QC what she meant, the witness replied: "Under the influence." Mr Baker's friend Christian Andrews recalled how the pair had spent the evening at a bar in Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street. He described Mr Baker as popular and said he was in a "very happy mood" when they parted company. Mr Telfer faces further charges including claims that the same day he tried to rob two women of their handbags. One of the alleged victims - air hostess Victoria Weston - told how she was near Central Station when a man threatened her with a knife and grabbed her bag. He also denies these charges. The trial, before Judge Lord Matthews, continues. On Monday, nearly 1,700 fans packed into Treyew Road to watch City beat Weymouth 3-2, before the players were presented with the Zamaretto Premier Division trophy. In winning the title and promotion, Truro became the first Cornish team to reach the heights of Conference football. The likes of Woking, Havant & Waterlooville and Boreham Wood will all be travelling to the south west to turn out at Treyew Road next season. Truro's journey up through the leagues began in the 2005/06 season when they finished second in the South Western League. I'm not afraid to admit it - I've been looking at the grounds for next season and Woking looks nice Promotion into the Western Leagues followed, from where Southern League football quickly became a reality. Managers have come and gone during the White Tigers' rise, with both Dave Leonard and Sean McCarthy enjoying successful spells at the club, the latter guiding Truro to the Southern Premier League. But it is the current incumbent, former Plymouth Argyle defender Lee Hodges, who is winning the admiration of players, supporters and officials alike. "Lee is a very special man," chairman and owner Kevin Heaney told BBC Cornwall. "He was born to be a manager. He is a top man, and he'll go on to be a great manager." Hodges was appointed to the top job in March 2010, replacing ex-Yeovil Town boss Steve Thompson, whose tenure only last 18 games. "I'm still learning, I am going along the way," Hodges said. "It's my first full season in charge and I'm a Championship-winning manager. "It still hasn't settled in yet, when I sit back in the next few weeks I'll be chuffed to bits." Even though Truro City are backed by multi-millionaire businessman Heaney, the make-up of the squad has hardly changed during their ascent. Captain Jake Ash has been with the club for every one of their five promotions. He said: "I'm not afraid to admit it - I've been looking at the grounds for next season and Woking looks nice." As for a sixth promotion, the facilities at Treyew Road will prevent that for now, but with council-backed plans for a 'Stadium for Cornwall', the club could soon be on the up once again. Heaney said: "Treyew Road will meet the standards for the Conference South, however it wouldn't be enough for the Blue Square Bet Premier - we would need a stadium for that to happen." Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the two-seater plane was involved in the crash at 11:05 GMT on Saturday. Two people were in the aircraft, but neither was injured and they were not taken to hospital. The fire service sent crews from Swansea West, Swansea Central and Gorseinon to the airport, at Fairwood Common, Gower. The incident comes a week after two people escaped unharmed when a light aircraft made an emergency landing in a field near the airport. Just after 13:30 GMT last Saturday a twin-seater single-engine Piper aircraft ended up in a hedge at Manor Farm. The people in that plane were members of a flying club based at Swansea. A report into the earlier incident will be prepared by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch of the Department of Transport.

The 28-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Juventus after the club met his buy-out clause of 90m euros, which will be paid in two instalments. The fee for the France-born forward is the third most expensive in history and the biggest domestic deal of all time. Higuain, who joined Napoli from Real Madrid in 2013 for £34.5m, was linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal earlier this month. The £75.3m fee for Higuain, who began his career with River Plate in Argentina, is third behind those paid by Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo (£80m) and Gareth Bale (£85m). The previous highest domestic transfer was the £50m deal that took Spain striker Fernando Torres from Liverpool to Chelsea in January 2011. Higuain won the Capocannoniere - Serie A's golden boot - last season after scoring a league record-equalling 36 goals as Napoli finished runners-up to his new club. It was only the second time this century a player had scored more than 30 goals in a Serie A season, following Luca Toni's tally of 31 for Fiorentina in 2005-06. The transfer could have a bearing on Manchester United's move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, with the 23-year-old reportedly the subject of a £100m bid from the Premier League club. Media playback is not supported on this device The Eagles went ahead when Wilfried Zaha sprinted through the Potters' defence and calmly finished past Danish goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard. Xherdan Shaqiri had the best chance for the visitors but curled a shot narrowly over the crossbar from 12 yards out. Stoke pushed for a replay but Shaqiri again shot over after a fine run from Bojan as Palace held on to win. Neither of these clubs have won the competition and Palace boss Alan Pardew named his strongest side. However, former Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who joined the Eagles on a free transfer on Tuesday, was deemed to not be fit enough to feature. Stoke boss Mark Hughes made eight changes, although his team had been involved in an energy-sapping League Cup semi-final tie that went to penalties against Liverpool on Tuesday. Nevertheless, apart from Haugaard, it was still a team full of Premier League experience with talented duo Bojan and Shaqiri both in the starting line-up. The pair were involved in most of the Potters' best moves with Shaqiri twice firing off target when well placed, as Stoke pushed for what would have been a deserved equaliser. Phil Bardsley also had a 25-yard shot well held by Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey in the last minute, before Joselu dragged an effort just wide in injury time. Despite a good team performance, forward Peter Odemwingie, making his first start since September, struggled to get involved and created little before being replaced after 75 minutes. The home fans and players were furious at a controversial moment in the first half. Striker Fraizer Campbell, playing in place of Connor Wickham, who was serving the first of a three-game ban for elbowing Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen, was 35 yards from goal when brought down by a crude Marc Wilson challenge. The Palace supporters thought Wilson was the last man, but the Stoke players said a defender could have got round to cover and referee Mark Clattenburg agreed by only showing a yellow card to the centre-half. However, Stoke's own Twitter account thought Wilson had been fortunate. Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "I've said it before: lesser teams than the quality I have have won this competition in recent years. We've got the talent to win it, you need a bit of luck with the draw: we don't need Man City away, we don't need Chelsea away, someone at home would be nice. "I'm always conscious of this competition, I've come so close on two occasions, that it's a strong bond in me to try and win it. This team is every bit as good as that (West Ham) team I took to that final in 2006, but you do need a break here and there." Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We were a little bit stretched, we had a number of players unavailable. "We didn't have enough in the final third when we had good opportunities. We're disappointed because it's a competition we wanted to do well in. "We can have a good run at the European places (via the Premier League), we're very much in the mix. We can focus on what we have left. We want to try and build on the past two seasons, which is two ninth-placed finishes. We want to go better than that." Both sides are back in Premier League action on Tuesday with Palace entertaining Bournemouth, while Stoke travel to one of manager Mark Hughes' former clubs Manchester United.

Following his dad Damian and grandad Basil, the D'Oliveiras are now the first grandfather, father and son to score first-class double centuries. Worcestershire then claimed four wickets before the early close. Bad light and heavy showers caused the loss of the entire final session after Glamorgan's new-look top order had failed to solve their batting problems. Visiting seamers Joe Leach and Ed Barnard made early inroads, taking three wickets between them in the space of seven balls. Skipper Jacques Rudolph then ran himself out thanks to a sharp piece of work from New Zealand international Mitchell Santner, and only Chris Cooke, on 27, has so far reached double figures. Earlier, Worcestershire's England Lions batsman Joe Clarke had added a further 28 to extend his score to 133 - just two short of the new career-best he posted against Gloucestershire at Bristol two weeks ago. Glamorgan batsman Chris Cooke told BBC Wales Sport: "Our backs are against the wall, but we're still in the game fighting and there's a big two days to go. "Scoreboard pressure is there but we've all been in that situation. We are professional players. It shouldn't really affect us that much, but they bowled really well and took advantage of some good bowling conditions. "There's never a good time for a run-out. Jacques had a bit of a slip and it was a good piece of fielding, so that's unfortunate. "If the weather comes in it comes in, but we need to be prepared to bat for a couple of sessions. We need to stick together as a group and put in a good batting performance." From 2015, people reaching retirement age will be able to use pension pots however they want, rather than having to buy a guaranteed annual income. Pensions minister Steve Webb said it was people's "choice" whether to buy Italian Lamborghini sports cars. No 10 said people were free to spend money in their own way. Chancellor George Osborne has dismissed fears newly retired people could "blow" their pension pot. Mr Webb, a Liberal Democrat, told the BBC's Norman Smith he was "relaxed" about how people spent their money. He said: "If people do get a Lamborghini, and end up on the state pension, the state is much less concerned about that, and that is their choice." The Lamborghini Huracan, unveiled earlier this month at the International Motor Show in Geneva, is to be sold at about £165,000. A Downing Street spokesman backed Mr Webb, saying it was not up to the government to give advice on how people chose to manage their savings. He added that under the rule changes pensioners were guaranteed independent advice before making any decision about their pension provision. Mr Webb later told BBC's Newsnight that the average pension pot was £25,000 so "not many people will be buying sports cars". "It is people's own money," he said. "We are not going to cast them adrift. We will guarantee them guidance, information, education but ultimately we are making sure they have a decent state pension but if they want to spend their money sooner rather than later, we are treating people as adults." Personal finance experts said the proposed changes to annuities - bonds which provide a fixed income for the rest of the owner's life - would significantly change the way people fund their retirement. It is expected that anyone over the age of 55 who belongs to a private pension scheme (as opposed to a final-salary scheme) will be able to take out their savings as a lump sum to spend or invest as they wish. Mr Osborne dismissed concerns that retired people would spend all their pension at once and end up relying on the state. "It's all part of a coherent pension reform," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "So we have a more generous basic state pension, less means-testing and that enables us to get rid of a quite old fashioned set of government requirements, put in place many decades ago, that people had to take out annuities. "While annuities might be right for many people, they are not right for many, and returns from annuities have been much lower over the last 15 years or so. The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the new pension rules could mean more money for the Treasury if people opted to extract taxable lump sums from their pension pots. But, the think tank added, it was difficult to predict how people would behave and the government could be left short of money for tax cuts announced on Wednesday. Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls said he supported the "principle" of more flexibility over pensions, because the annuities market is "not working" and "people are being ripped off". But he said scrapping the requirement to take out an annuity altogether was a potentially "reckless and irresponsible" move, which could "leave people running out of money". "Will people with ordinary-sized pension pots be able and encouraged to withdraw all of their pension savings from their pension pot and either try and invest it themselves or spend it?" he asked. "And if they do, what happens when the money runs out? Who then picks up the tab?" Pensions changes were among a series of measures announced in a Budget that Mr Osborne said would reward the "makers, doers and savers". However, hours after he outlined his plans, the Conservatives faced a backlash over an advert highlighting changes to beer and bingo taxes. The online advert, tweeted by Conservative chairman Grant Shapps, said the cuts would "help hardworking people do more of the things they enjoy". It was described as "patronising" by Mr Osborne's deputy, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander, who said he initially thought it was a "spoof". Labour said it was "ill-conceived" and "condescending". But Mr Osborne said the controversy had been "whipped up by the Labour Party who didn't have anything else to say about the economy". Conservative sources told BBC News they were "completely relaxed" about the tweet and "astonished" by the row, adding it would not be "pulled" because it was a "one-off" message and not part of any campaign.

"We have still to play Aberdeen twice, so it's definitely something we're aiming for," head coach Neilson said "We also have to be wary of St Johnstone who will still believe they can catch us." Hearts have not beaten Celtic at Celtic Park since 2009, but the last encounter ended goal-less. "We take confidence from that," said Neilson. "We have a young squad, but they have played more games since then and have more experience.

The Northern Irishman, 31, was competing in the Baloise Belgium Tour event for his Irish professional team Aqua Blue Sport. Former world track champion Irvine came out of retirement last October to sign for the team. A team tweet said Irvine had sustained a "minor hairline fracture". Irvine's team-mates include fellow Irishmen Matt Brammeier and Conor Dunne. The County Down man retired from the sport after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics before reversing the decision nine months later. Aqua Blue Sport's goal is to eventually participate at a World Tour level and compete in the Tour de France, but their events this season include the Milan-San Remo classic, Amstel Gold and the Tour of Britain. Newtownards man Irvine became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years with victory in the scratch race in Belarus in 2013. Irvine also won silver in the points race at the 2013 World Championships and a European bronze medal He finished 2013 as number one scratch rider in the 2013 UCI world rankings and claimed a scratch silver medal in the 2014 Track Cycling World Championships. His achievements in 2013 led to him being named as the BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year. The White House also called on Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah to withdraw fighters from Syria, where they have been helping government troops. A BBC team that visited Qusair found that it was in ruins. Meanwhile, activists and the Israeli military said a UN-operated border crossing in the Golan Heights had been taken by rebels from Syrian forces. "The rebels have seized the crossing near the old city of Quneitra in the occupied Golan Heights," Rami Abdelrahman, head of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told Reuters news agency, adding that fierce fighting was continuing in the area. The BBC's Yolande Knell, in Jeruslaem, says Israeli officials have voiced fears that the civil war in Syria could spill over their borders and with Islamist extremists among the rebel forces, they're worried that the Golan Heights could be used to launch attacks against Israel in future. On the international front, France said growing proof of chemical weapons use in Syria "obliges the international community to act". By Lyse DoucetBBC News, Qusair This battle for Qusair is over. But now the fight begins to help the people who survived. Thousands fled the violence, many were trapped inside. Aid agencies speak of alarming reports that large numbers of wounded need urgent care. There's not enough food or water in Qusair or for those displaced outside in schools, shelters and on the streets. In the last two days, the UN managed to send in a powerful generator to help restart the main pumping station for this entire region. But now aid agencies are urging the government to give them greater access to the city. The fight for Qusair was a strategic victory, but a humanitarian disaster. However, President Francois Hollande cautioned: "We can only act within the framework of international law". He was speaking hours after Syrian government forces backed by Hezbollah fighters retook full control of Qusair, after three weeks of heavy fighting. A team from the BBC were the first Western journalists to reach the city, and said they did not see a single building that had escaped damage. More than 80,000 people have been killed in Syria and more than 1.5 million have fled the country since an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011, according to UN estimates. International efforts to resolve the conflict continue, but the US and Russia have failed to set a date for proposed peace talks. The UN and Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the international conference might now be held in July, rather than June as had been planned. He called the lack of agreement between Washington and Moscow "embarrassing", but also noted that neither side in the Syrian conflict was ready to commit to attending. Qusair lies only 10km (6 miles) from the Lebanese border and is close to important supply routes for both the government and rebels. It had been the focus of fighting between rebels and troops backed by a pro-government militia and fighters from Hezbollah, the militant Lebanese Shia Islamist group allied with Iran. Syrian state TV reported on Wednesday that a large number of rebels had died and many others had surrendered as troops advanced swiftly. The rebels said they withdrew overnight in the face of a massive assault. The town where 30,000 people once lived is now all but deserted by civilians, reports the BBC's Lyse Doucet, who was taken to Qusair by the Syrian government. Capture could change conflict dynamics Qusair's importance Who are Hezbollah? She found Syrian troops and Hezbollah fighters were everywhere - travelling in trucks and armoured vehicles, firing guns in celebration and moving on foot through the streets. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the US condemned the assault "in the strongest possible terms". "It is clear that the regime is unable to contest the opposition's control of a place like Qusair on their own, and that is why they are dependent on Hezbollah and Iran to do their work for them," he said. The US has called on Hezbollah and Iran to immediately withdraw their fighters from Syria, calling on all parties to allow humanitarian agencies safe access to the area. Hezbollah - or the Party of God - is a political and military organisation in Lebanon made up mainly of Shia Muslims. It emerged with financial backing from Iran in the early 1980s and has always been a close ally of Syria's. One of the group's fighters told The Times newspaper it had dispatched some 1,200 special forces fighters to spearhead the assault on Qusair. "The buildings were so close, we were clearing them not metre by metre but centimetre by centimetre," said the veteran fighter, who went by the nom-de-guerre Haji Abbas and said he had recently returned from a week's fighting in the town. "We squashed them into the northern part of the town and then pinned them down with sniper fire." Correspondents say the battle for Qusair has highlighted Hezbollah's growing role in the Syrian conflict - a development that has heightened sectarian tensions in the wider region. Late on Wednesday Lebanese media said that several rockets had landed in the Hezbollah stronghold of Baalbek inside Lebanon. While Iran politically and militarily backs the Syrian government, it is not clear that Iranian forces were on the ground during the battle for Qusair. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said it fears there are shortages of food, water and medical supplies in the town. George Sabra, the interim chairman of the main opposition alliance, the National Coalition, said there were hundreds of injured people awaiting help in the area and called on the Red Cross to be allowed access. In Paris, Mr Hollande told reporters: "We have the elements which now allow us to give certainty over the use of chemical weapons in Syria - at what level we still do not know. "What has happened in Syria must be one more piece of pressure that can be put on the Syrian regime and its allies." His comments followed those of French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who revealed on Tuesday that samples taken from locations of alleged chemical weapon attacks in Syria, including Saraqeb and Jobar, and brought to France had tested positive for the nerve agent, sarin. Mr Fabius said he had "no doubt" that sarin had been used by "the Syrian regime and its accomplices", but did not specify instances of its use. The US says more proof is needed. The Syrian government has repeatedly denied using chemical weapons, and has in turn accused the rebels of doing so, an allegation that they have also rejected. Advisory body NICE is reviewing drugs made available through the old cancer drugs fund, and has rejected Kadcyla for use on the NHS in England. It believes the price per patient set by manufacturer Roche is too expensive. Roche says discussions are continuing. One patient said the move felt "cruel". In clinical trials, Kadcyla - £90,000 at full cost per patient - was shown to extend terminal breast cancer patients' lives by an average of six months, and to dramatically improve quality of life when compared with other treatments. It is used to treat people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be surgically removed. Bonnie Fox, who is 39 and from Croydon, south London, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that she had been informed by her oncologist that the drug would be available to her when her current drug became ineffective. She said when she had discovered the drug was no longer routinely available on the NHS, she had been "completely devastated". "I'm really dependent on those extra years... they could [help me achieve] extra milestones with my son, help me see him get to school," she said. "To have that suddenly taken away feels so cruel. You know that drug is there, and you know that drug is good." Patient Gill Smith said had been assured by her oncologist that Kadcyla would be available when she needed it. "[My oncologist] said if Kadcyla were ever going to be withdrawn, they'd be chaining themselves to railings... it was unthinkable it would be no longer available." The drug had been available through the old cancer drugs fund since 2014. That was a ring-fenced fund set up by the government to help people in England access costly cancer drugs not routinely available on the NHS. But that fund was closed in March 2016 and replaced with a new approach to the funding of cancer drugs, which includes the so-called new-look cancer drugs fund. Dr Mei-Lin Ah-See, a consultant in clinical oncology at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, criticised the failure of NICE to approve the drug for routine availability on the NHS. She said it "not only comes at the expense of survival for our patients, but would come at the price of toxicity", as alternative drugs result in greater side-effects for patients. She said the UK Breast Cancer Group - a group of senior medical and clinical oncologists specialising in breast cancer treatment - would be writing to NICE to request that the decision should be reviewed and an accommodation found to keep the drug available for NHS patients. More than 80,000 people have signed a petition - led by the charity Breast Cancer Now - calling on NICE and Roche to find a solution. Carole Longson, of NICE, said the watchdog "knows how important it is for people with breast cancer that they have access to life-extending treatments, but the reality is the cost of this drug is too high relative to those benefits for it to be recommended for routine use". A NICE spokesperson added: "NICE would like to be able to support the routine use of Kadcyla on the NHS and we are open to an approach from Roche with ideas about how they can make this happen. "They have been in touch with us and we are arranging a further meeting with them, during the consultation period." Richard Erwin, general manager for Roche UK, said: "This is not the end of the line for patients. "We want to get back round the table with NICE to turn this preliminary decision around and ensure we all do the right thing for patients and their families."

It heard "serious reputational damage" was caused to the Education Authority by its "mishandling" of the plans. Committee chair Barry McElduff said the authority should apologise to parents of affected pupils. Chair of the Education Authority (EA), Sharon O'Connor, said she was "very sorry for the upset that parents are continuing to experience". After the meeting, Ms O'Connor said: "On behalf of the Authority, I apologise unreservedly to parents who have been upset by the handling of this issue to date. "I wish to assure them today that no long term changes to existing arrangements will be implemented in advance of the outcome of the review which will include a full consultation involving school principals, parents, early years' practitioners and other relevant stakeholders." In March, the BBC revealed that the EA proposed to cut pre-school provision for all pupils in special school nurseries from 22.5 hours a week to 12.5 hours. The cut would have affected disabled children in 14 special schools who currently offer full-time places. That decision was criticised by the former education minister John O'Dowd, who ordered the EA to review it. A number of MLAs expressed further criticisms at the committee hearing. Vice-chair of the committee, Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle, said he was unhappy at how the EA had consulted on its plans. "The approach has been unacceptable," he said. "It has been inconsistent, it has been contradictory, evidentially disputed, and there has been wholly inadequate communication and engagement." Sinn Féin MLA Catherine Seeley said she had "huge concerns" over the move to make all children attend special school nurseries for 2.5 hours a day. "I don't think that is receptive to the different needs of different, individual children," she said. The DUP's Lord Morrow also asked why it seemed Fleming Fulton school in Belfast had been "ignored" by the EA when they had offered to provide nursery accommodation in 2016. "Let's hear what is going on and why Fleming Fulton has not got the treatment they feel that they deserve," he said. Staff at Fleming Fulton had written to members of the committee claiming that, despite having capacity for 10 nursery places, their nursery had been "mothballed". In response, the EA's chief executive Gavin Boyd said they would "re-engage" with the school. "That has to be worked through," he said. "It is not just a simple question of saying we're open for business again." Last week, the EA announced that a review of its plans would take six months to complete. In a letter to special school principals, it said it would not be going ahead with the original plan to cut hours in all schools until at least September 2017. However, that suspension will not apply to six special schools which will see cuts to hours for nursery pupils from September 2016, due to what the EA has said are interim plans to meet demand. EA officials told the committee that there was an unprecedented increase in demand for special school nursery places this year. Chairman of the Commons foreign affairs committee, Crispin Blunt, said ministers' response was "troubling", as he believed similar mistakes could be made in future. In September, the committee said the UK had lacked a coherent strategy and intelligence had not been "accurate". But the government disagreed, saying the coalition's actions saved lives. An international coalition led by Britain and France launched a campaign of air and missile strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's forces in March 2011 after the regime threatened to attack the rebel-held city of Benghazi. But after Gaddafi was toppled, Libya descended into violence, with rival governments and the formation of hundreds of militias. And so-called Islamic State, also known as Isil and Daesh, gained a foothold. In its report in September, the foreign affairs committee criticised David Cameron, prime minister at the time, saying he had been ultimately responsible for failing to develop a coherent Libya strategy. It said UK strategy was based on erroneous assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the evidence and ministers should have foreseen that militant extremist groups would attempt to benefit from the rebellion. 'Inadequate plans for stabilisation' But Conservative MP Mr Blunt said the MPs on his committee "do not accept that it understood the implications" of intervening in Libya - including the rise of Islamist extremism. He said its response had failed to "work through the logic" of the evidence heard by the committee and was "yet to appreciate the lessons from our experience in Libya including our lack of country knowledge amongst those drafting and deciding policy". "This is troubling, because Libya should inform the development of future UK foreign policy," he said, adding there should have been a "robust process of self-examination in government to improve future performance". "I believe we are about to repeat the failure to have adequate plans and resources for stabilisation in Mosul. Libya should have taught us these lessons." He also urged the PM to "reconsider" the committee's calls for members of the National Security Council (NSC) who are not politicians - for example the chief of the defence staff - to be able to ask for written instructions from the PM when asked to do something "contrary to their professional judgement", rather than leaving them "to emerge in conversations with historians". The government rejected that idea. In its response, the government said it did not agree with the foreign affairs committee report conclusion that no proper analysis of the rebellion or threat posed by the Gaddafi regime was carried out. Gaddafi 'unpredictable' "Real-time and evolving military, intelligence and diplomatic assessments gave ministers an understanding of the detailed context in which to take strategic decisions, as well as identifying areas where further information was needed..." it said. "Muammar Gaddafi was unpredictable and had the means and motivation to carry out his threats. His actions could not be ignored, and required decisive and collective international action. The actions of the UK and the Coalition undoubtedly saved the lives of innocent Libyan civilians." Former PM David Cameron told MPs in January that he had to take action in Libya because Gaddafi "was bearing down on people in Benghazi and threatening to shoot his own people like rats". But the foreign affairs committee's original report found that the government "failed to identify that the threat to civilians was overstated", adding that it "selectively took elements of Gaddafi's rhetoric at face value". The government also failed to identify the "militant Islamist extremist element in the rebellion", the MPs said and allowed a planned intervention to protect civilians to drift into an opportunist policy of regime change. "That policy was not underpinned by a strategy to support and shape post-Gaddafi Libya. "The result was political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of Isil in North Africa." February 2011 - Violent protests break out in Benghazi and spread to other cities. This leads to civil war, foreign intervention and eventually the ousting and killing of Gaddafi in August. March 2011 - UK parliament approves British participation for military intervention alongside a coalition of nations, including France and the US. 2014 - Militants from so-called Islamic State claim responsibility for several attacks in Libya towards to the end of the year, as the US finds evidence that the group is setting up training camps. 2016 - Following years of conflict, a new UN-backed "unity" government is installed in a naval base in Tripoli. It faces opposition from two rival governments and a host of militias. Shami Chakrabarti, the chairwoman of Labour's inquiry into anti-Semitism, said there was "too much clear evidence... of ignorant attitudes". The inquiry followed the suspension of MP Naz Shah and ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone amid anti-Semitism claims. Leader Jeremy Corbyn said there was no acceptable form of racism. Meanwhile, former shadow cabinet minister Angela Eagle looks set to launch a bid for the Labour leadership after Mr Corbyn rejected pleas to stand down having lost the confidence of many in his frontbench team. Ms Chakrabarti's inquiry has made 20 recommendations but she said she does not approve of lifetime bans for party membership. Mr Corbyn said he put his weight behind the inquiry's "immediate implementation" but he faced criticism after he appeared to compare Israel to so-called Islamic State during the report's launch. He said: "To assume that a Jewish friend or fellow member is wealthy, some kind of financial or media conspiracy, or takes a particular position on politics in general or on Israel and on Palestine in particular, is just wrong. "Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government than our Muslim friends are for those various self-styled Islamic states or organisations." Sam Stopp, a Labour councillor in Brent, north-west London, tweeted: "@jeremycorbyn has compared Israel to ISIS today. For that alone, he should resign. I am red with fury #Corbyn" But Mr Corbyn denied comparing the state of Israel to so-called Islamic State. Mr Corbyn said: "Under my leadership the Labour Party will not allow hateful language or debate in person, online, or anywhere else. "We will aim to set the gold standard, not just for anti-racism, but for a genuinely welcoming environment for all communities and for the right to disagree as well. "Racism is racism is racism. There is no hierarchy, no acceptable form of it." He called for an end to Hitler and Nazi metaphors and comparisons between different human rights atrocities. "Diluting degrees of evil does no good," he said. By BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw The phrase "toxic atmosphere" used in the inquiry report could well have described the mood towards the end of the press conference launching it. Shami Chakrabarti had to intervene to stop the question-and-answer session becoming an inquisition on Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. There was a melee as the Labour leader was pursued out of the room by reporters and photographers. And some of those attending were left bemused by Mr Corbyn's comments appearing to liken the actions of the Israeli government with those of so-called Islamic State. The comparison was no doubt unintended but it was a reminder of the huge challenge facing the party if it's to encourage debate yet avoid causing unnecessary offence. Recommendations made by the inquiry include: Ms Shah, the MP for Bradford West, was suspended after social media posts emerged in which she suggested Israel should be moved to the United States. Mr Livingstone was then suspended after claiming Hitler supported Zionism, as he tried to defend Ms Shah. No update on these cases were given as Ms Chakrabarti said due process must be followed. What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism? Q&A: Labour anti-Semitism row Mr Corbyn said that the "need for us to unite around our values is as great as it's ever been" and he criticised "fog horn" hateful language used in the EU referendum campaign. He also said his call for a kinder, gentler politics was a "work in progress". "We've all had a torrid few days, well at least I have," he said. "Decency is no disqualification for leadership, in fact I think it should be a prerequisite." The Solar Impulse craft is a day into what was expected to be a 130-hour journey from China to Hawaii. However, meteorologists say the forecast is worsening. They have asked the pilot to stay in a holding pattern while they decide whether he should continue or turn back towards land. They will reassess the situation at a team briefing at 08:00 GMT Monday. This is the seventh leg in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe using just the energy of the Sun. The experimental craft, which is covered in 17,000 solar cells, took off from Abu Dhabi in March. The Pacific crossing, however, was always going to be the most challenging part of this epic journey. The team has already had to wait for a month in Nanjing for the right weather conditions to take off. The plane not only needs favourable winds to push forwards, it also needs cloud-free skies during the day to soak up enough energy from the sun to enable it to fly during the night. The team's meteorologists thought they had identified a suitable weather window - and the plane set off at 18:39 GMT on Saturday. Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg, who is flying solo, had been making good progress, however a weather front could now pose problems. Solar Impulse's Bertrand Piccard, who has been monitoring the flight from mission control in Monaco, said: "Yesterday we had the possibility to cross the weather front just before Hawaii on day five. "However, with the forecasts we now have, we don't see this possibility anymore, which means that for the moment the road to Hawaii is blocked. "We need all the data from the next weather forecasts, so that our weather experts can analyse what's going to happen in the next four to five days." The plane is currently in a holding pattern over the Sea of Japan. For now, this is the safest thing to do - if the craft flies past a certain point, were anything to go wrong, the pilot would have to bail out into the ocean. 'We have asked Andre to stay where he is: it's fine, the weather is good and the batteries are charging," added Mr Piccard. The team will now have to decide whether to press on with the flight, or abort the attempt and head back to land to await clearer skies. The fear is that further delays could have an impact on the later stages of the flight. Ideally, the team needs to cross the United States, and then the Atlantic, before the hurricane season starts to peak in August. LEG 1: 9 March.

Chongqing (China) to Nanjing China - 1,241km; in 17 hours and 22 minutes Speaking to The Independent ahead of Twitter's 10th birthday, Mr Daisley said more effort had been put into user safety than any other issue. "The measures we've taken correlate directly with a reduction in the amount of bad behaviour," he said. A series of high-profile users have quit Twitter, citing online abuse. The newspaper reports that the site has been targeting suspected so-called internet trolls - people who use social media accounts to abuse others - by asking more users that they identify themselves through phone verification. "That allows us to tell the user that what they do here exists in the real world," Mr Daisley told the paper. The implementation of phone verification - where the user is sent a numeric code they have to enter before accessing the site - also allows Twitter to check if a member has other accounts which have been suspended as a result of abuse, Mr Daisley said. Users have also been given new tools to block trolls and they have been encouraged to share their lists of blocked accounts, the newspaper reported. Mr Daisley said the measures had made people feel safer. In February Twitter's then-chief executive Dick Costolo admitted the company "sucks" when it comes to dealing with abuse and trolling on the service. The daughter of actor Robin Williams signed off Twitter saying she had been abused by other users after his death. And Sara Payne, whose daughter Sarah was abducted and murdered in 2000, said she was leaving the social media network after years of online harassment. Both the lead actor and actress awards were for roles inspired by real-life murder cases. Georgina Campbell beat Keely Hawes, Sarah Lancashire and Sheridan Smith to win leading actress for her harrowing portrayal of a domestic abuse victim in BBC Three drama Murdered by My Boyfriend. "I knew it was going to be difficult," the actress said backstage at London's Theatre Royal on Sunday night. "I didn't know that domestic abuse affected mostly 16-25 year-olds. Reading the script I could relate to it very well." She told the BBC: "There have have been a lot of people who said that they felt it was really true to the experience they had. "A police officer contacted us and said a girl had come in and her phone was smashed up and she had been hit and she said she had watched the show and decided that she wanted [to report it]." Murdered By My Boyfriend, which aired last June, was based on a tragic true story. It focuses on 21-year-old Ashley, who was beaten to death after four years of mental and physical abuse at the hands of a man she loved. In a Daily Telegraph interview last year, the drama's writer Regina Moore gave some insight into her research. "What are the little things that set the stage for more serious abuse down the line? When does teasing become bullying? When does being in love become being in control? "The challenge was to try to embed some of these subtle details into the film because often they're the signals that a relationship is on the way to becoming abusive. "It took four years for Ashley to die. In that time, at least 229 women in Britain were murdered as a result of domestic violence." Jason Watkins received his first Bafta for playing the title role in The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies, which also won the award for mini-series. Written by Peter Morgan, the ITV drama was based on the true story of Christopher Jefferies, a retired schoolmaster who was arrested when his tenant, 25-year-old landscape architect Joanna Yeates, was found murdered on Christmas Day in 2010. The drama followed the innocent Jefferies as he struggled to clear his name and cope with the unwanted spotlight upon him. The real killer, neighbour Vincent Tabak, was arrested almost a month later. The drama was directed by Roger Michell, a former pupil of Jefferies. Watkins spent several days watching footage of the ex-teacher before he decided to take on the role. Backstage, the actor said: "It was about getting it right. If I could impersonate him - not just on a surface level - then all the details and sensitivities about the case would work out. It was a joy to do that and then to meet him in person." In an earlier Radio Times interview he said: "What really struck me about doing the film is how shocking it is that a line can be crossed in an instant, and a life is ended, or something can be written down and printed and what impact that can have on a life." Although not based on a true-life murder case, Happy Valley on BBC One was a dark police drama set in West Yorkshire that some TV critics hailed as the best thing on British TV in 2014. Others were troubled by its scenes of violence. Written and partly directed by Sally Wainwright, it stars Sarah Lancashire as police sergeant Catherine Cawood, who stumbles on a kidnap plot as she pursues a man she holds responsible for her daughter's rape and suicide. Lancashire, who won a Bafta last year for her role in Wainwright's Last Tango in Halifax, said she had been captivated by the scripts. "It was very different to other pieces that I've done but I do find Sally's writing is symphonic because it is so varied and rich." Wainwright revealed backstage that series two of Happy Valley would feature the return of killer villain Tommy Lee Royce, played by James Norton (who had been nominated for best supporting actor). Norton said he had read three of the new scripts and that viewers would have to wait until next year to find out what happened next. And it was not just home-grown crime drama that did well at the Baftas. The International category was won by HBO's True Detective, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two Louisiana detectives in their 17-year pursuit of a brutal killer. Bernice Jaumotte, admitted misconduct in the running of Amber House care home in Abergele, Conwy county. The 64-year-old also ran an unclean home, ignored residents' needs and did not provide care plans. The Care Council for Wales (CCW) found "widespread and significant failings". Mrs Jaumotte appeared before the CCW disciplinary hearing in Cardiff following her suspension from nursing at a Nursing and Midwifery hearing in August 2015. The disciplinary hearings followed an investigation in December 2013 by Care Social Service inspectors which found serious breaches of care. Residents were found looking unclean and unkempt, some with torn clothes, beds were stained, while carpets, bed linen and crockery were unclean and of poor quality. Mrs Jaumotte's lawyer Susan Cavenden told the Cardiff hearing: "She admits misconduct and the facts of the case." The Care Council conduct committee hearing was told that Mrs Jaumotte had taken over duties as the care home manager in May, 2013, after the previous manager left. Miss Cavenden said that some of the offences in the home occurred before Mrs Jaumotte became the acting manager. Mrs Jaumotte told the hearing: "People lied to me that things were being done. I had no reason to think that anything was wrong. "You take your eye off the ball and things can go badly wrong very quickly." Mrs Jaumotte, whose home is now closed, was ordered to be permanently removed from the social care register. Disciplinary hearing chairwoman Dr Norma Barry told her: "These matters came to light as a result of a series of inspections following concerns raised by members of the public. "They were widespread and significant failings concerning the safety and well being of residents. "The problems at the home were wide-ranging and significant and vulnerable residents were put at risk. "The committee is not convinced that even now you accepted the failings were your responsibility. There is an ongoing failure to take full responsibility." Artell has worked without a contract since starting in January and admits his chief missions were to keep Crewe up, then plan for the 2017-18 season. The offer of a 12-month rolling contract has now been made by the club. "I'm pleased and I'm grateful, but I didn't see it as a big deal," Artell told BBC Radio Stoke. "It was more important to concentrate on getting the right players in." Artell has so far made three new signings - strikers Jordan Bowery and Chris Porter, along with defender Michael Raynes, but he is in pursuit of a League Two midfielder and is hopeful of persuading his likely skipper next season, George Ray, to sign a new deal. "We should know in the next week to 10 days," he said. "But I'm not losing any sleep over it. I fully expect him to still be a Crewe player next season." Artell is also grateful to have been given 100% backing by chairman John Bowler and his board. "Whenever I've gone to them with any request, they've told me to go ahead and get on with it," he said. "Hopefully that will continue." He is also confident that, if next season goes as he expects, then his phone will be ringing with offers from managers higher up the EFL after a relative dearth in big-money exits since the departures of Nick Powell, Ashley Westwood and Luke Murphy. "We've got some good players," said Artell. "We have quite a few ready to be ripened. "To leave a club in League Two, you need to be in the top seven. If we're successful, don't be surprised if my phone doesn't ring a bit more with enquiries about our players. I envisage that to happen as I envisage us being successful." He said he had an "unmissable view" of the effects of the upgrade so far from the driver's cab of the 0815 from Paddington to Cardiff on Thursday. Mr Crabb said the route was a "vital link" between Wales and the capital. Electrification to Cardiff is due to be completed by 2019, with hopes of reaching Swansea by 2020 or 2021. In June, Transport Secretary Patrick McLouglin said the Great Western line remained "a top priority" in Network Rail's upgrading programme, despite concerns about delays and rising costs. The gold pocket watch, owned by the late Maj Herbert Baker, as well as jewellery and two medals, were taken during a burglary on Stoops Lane in Bessacarr, Doncaster, on 29 August. South Yorkshire Police has asked for help to find the sentimental items. The watch bears the crest of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry with whom Maj Baker had a 42-year career. It is also engraved with the words: "Presented by the members of the 5th K.O.Y.L.I Ex-Officers Club to Major H Barker M.B.E, M.C, M.S.M, T.D." A General Service Medal for Malaya engraved with "DH Barker" around the sides, was one of those stolen.

The ceremony marks the anniversary of a 1940 resolution calling for a separate homeland for Muslims in India. Its resumption is a symbolic show of military strength, analysts say, from a nation which has been badly affected by militant attacks. In his address Pakistan's President Mamnoon Hussain said that the "end of terrorism" was near. Pakistan last held a Republic Day parade in 2008 because of fears militants might target it. The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil, who was at Monday's parade in the capital Islamabad, said it was an opportunity for Pakistan to show off its military might to the public, with units of all infantry divisions taking part. Air force shows were held and there was an ostentatious display of weaponry. President Hussain praised forces taking part in the operation against the Pakistani Taliban and other militants in North Waziristan, and paid tribute to the more than 150 victims of the Army Public School massacre in Peshawar in December. "I salute the armed forces, those that have fought to protect us and those who have given their lives to protect this country. To the nation of Pakistan I say that the end of terrorism is near. We have a resolve and we will defeat them," he said. But he also stressed that Pakistan wanted to co-operate peacefully with its neighbours, saying that Islamabad was enjoying "growing relations" with Afghanistan, and was continually trying to "improve ties" with India. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted: "I have written to Pakistan PM... conveying my greetings on the National Day of Pakistan. It is my firm conviction that all outstanding issues can be resolved through bilateral dialogue in an atmosphere free from terror and violence."

Pakistan has held its first Republic Day parade in seven years amid tight security.

The former world champion, 81, unveiled a new fleet of karts at Buckmore Park in Chatham with the help of TV presenter Paul Hollywood. Surtees won seven world motorbike championships before becoming F1 World Champion with Ferrari in 1964. He now aims to "firmly place Buckmore on the map". Surtees said: "I would like Buckmore to become a feeder for youngsters into racing careers, and hope to work with various colleges with their educational programmes." Speaking at the launch, Buckmore Park Karting Ltd Managing Director Chris Pullman said: "We start young. We do the training for the future. "We start the serious training at six. It's all about progression - a ladder of success." He spoke of his excitement of working with John Surtees and added: "John is the only person that has won world championships on two and four wheels and I don't think that will ever get beaten." Over the last 11,700 years - an epoch that geologists call the Holocene - climate has remained remarkably stable. This allowed humans to plan ahead, inventing agriculture, cities, communication networks and new forms of energy. Some geologists now believe that human activity has so irrevocably altered our planet that we have entered a new geological age. This proposed new epoch - dubbed the Anthropocene - is discussed at a major conference held at the Geological Society in London on Wednesday. Yet some experts say that defining this "human age" is much more than about understanding our place in history. Instead, our whole future may depend on it. The term, the Anthropocene, was coined over a decade ago by Nobel Laureate chemist, Paul Crutzen. Professor Crutzen recalls: "I was at a conference where someone said something about the Holocene. I suddenly thought this was wrong. The world has changed too much. No, we are in the Anthropocene. I just made up the word on the spur of the moment. Everyone was shocked. But it seems to have stuck." But is Professor Crutzen correct? Has the Earth really flipped into a new geological epoch - and if so, why is this important? Dr Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester is one of the leading proponents of the Anthropocene theory. He told BBC News: "Simply put, our planet no longer functions in the way that it once did. Atmosphere, climate, oceans, ecosystems… they're all now operating outside Holocene norms. This strongly suggests we've crossed an epoch boundary." Dr Zalasiewicz added: "There are three ideas about when the Anthropocene began. Some people think it kicked off thousands of years ago with the rise of agriculture, but really those first farmers didn't change the planet much. "Others put the boundary around 1800. That was the year that human population hit one billion and carbon dioxide started to significantly rise due to the burning of fossil fuels in the Industrial Revolution," he explained. "However, the really big changes didn't get going until the end of the Second World War - and that's another candidate for the boundary." To formally define a new epoch, geologists must show how it can be recognised in the layers of mud that will eventually form rocks. As it turns out, there is enormous practical advantage in fixing 1945 as the beginning of the Anthropocene. "1945 was the dawn of the nuclear age," explained Dr Zalasiewicz. "Sediments deposited worldwide that year contain a tell-tale radioactive signature from the first atom bomb tests in the States". So, thousands of years from now, geologists (if any still exist) will be able to place their finger on that very layer of mud. Nonetheless, the choice of 1945 for start of the Anthropocene is much more than just convenient. It coincides with an event that Professor Will Steffen of the Australian National University describes as the "Great Acceleration". Professor Steffen told the BBC: "A few years ago, I plotted graphs to track the growth of human society from 1800 to the present day. What I saw was quite unexpected - a remarkable speeding up after the Second World War". In that time, the human population has more than doubled to an astounding 6.9 billion. However, much more significantly, Professor Steffen believes, the global economy has increased ten-fold over the same period. "Population growth is not the big issue here. The real problem is that we're becoming wealthier and consuming exponentially more resources," he explained. This insatiable consumption has placed enormous stresses on our planet. Writing in the prestigious journal Nature, Professor Steffen and colleagues recently identified nine "life support systems" essential for human life on Earth. They warned that two of these - climate and the nitrogen cycle - are in danger of failing, while a third - biodiversity - is already in meltdown. "One of the most worrying features of the Great Acceleration is biodiversity loss," Professor Steffen said. "Species extinction is currently running 100 to 1000 times faster than background levels, and will increase further this century." "When humans look back… the Anthropocene will probably represent one of the six biggest extinctions in our planet's history." This would put it on a par with the event that wiped out the dinosaurs. But perhaps more alarming is the possibility that the pronounced global warming seen at the start of the proposed Anthropocene epoch could be irreversible. "Will climate change prove to be a short-term spike that quickly returns to normal, or are we seeing a long term move to a new stable state?" asked Professor Steffen. "That's the million dollar question." If the Anthropocene does develop into a long-lived period of much warmer climate, then there may be one very small consolation: the fossil record of modern human society is likely to be preserved in amazing detail. Dr Mike Ellis of the British Geological Survey told BBC News: "As a result of rising sea level, scientists of the future will be able to explore the relics of whole cities buried in mud". In New Orleans, large areas of the city are already below sea level. The disastrous combination of rising sea level and subsidence of the Mississippi Delta on which it is built suggest that it will succumb at some point in the future. Although the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts less than a metre of sea level rise over the next 90 years, more than five metres of sea level rise is possible over the coming centuries as the Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps melt. One application for exploring the changing coastlines of the Anthropocene world is Google Flood. It allows users to raise sea level by up to 14 metres and zoom into street level to see the effects. Sea level rise of this magnitude will mean that the lower storeys of buildings will be preserved intact. Such "urban strata will be a unique, widespread and easily recognisable feature of the sedimentary deposits of the human age", Dr Ellis commented. Geologists of the future may also hunt for other, more unusual, "markers" of the Anthropocene epoch, such as the traces of plastic packaging in sediments. But geologists like Dr Mark Williams from the University of Leicester hold much more serious concerns: "One of the main reasons we developed the Anthropocene concept was to quantify present-day change and compare it with the geological record," he explained. "Only when we do so, can we critically assess the pace and degree of change that we're currently experiencing." Dr Williams added that while the Anthropocene has yet to run its course, "all the signs are that the human age will be a stand-out event in the 4.5 billion year history of the Earth". All the locks will be replaced at the prison following Friday's disturbances. A bunch of keys taken from a prison officer as the trouble began was recovered but officials remain concerned about the risk of copies being made. Justice Secretary Liz Truss has said G4S, the private firm which operates the jail, will cover the costs. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah visited the prison on Wednesday and met staff who were on duty at the time of the 12-hour riot. Stairwells were set on fire and paper records destroyed during the trouble in four wings of the category B prison. More than 460 prisoners have been moved out of the prison since the riot. The disorder came months after a report by the Independent Monitoring Board said staff were concerned inmates were taking substances which can make them violent. Asked how substances were getting into the prison, Jerry Petherick, managing director of custodial and detention services at G4S, said "a very small minority of staff are corrupt". He also told BBC WM on Wednesday that contraband was also being thrown over prison walls, taken in by visitors and drones were being used. Meanwhile, Lord Ramsbotham, a former chief inspector of prisons, said the riot should be investigated by an independent and outside observer. The Crossbench peer questioned if the Government would bring in someone to examine the disorder. Ms Truss announced earlier this week that Sarah Payne, adviser to the independent chief inspector of probation and former director of the Welsh prison service, would lead the investigation.

It is, of course, early days, but it would appear as if last year's dominant world champions are even further ahead of their rivals this season than in 2014. Hamilton was 1.4 seconds clear of the first non-Mercedes, and if the gap from his German team-mate Nico Rosberg to Williams's Felipe Massa was only 0.8secs, that was more attributable to the German making a bit of a hash of qualifying than anything else. The unpredictable windy conditions - and a wind direction that had flipped around 180 degrees after final practice - made qualifying perfect for Hamilton's gifts. The battle between Williams and Ferrari to be best of the rest was expected to be close, and so it proved, with just 0.072 seconds separating Williams's Felipe Massa in third, and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen in fourth and fifth. It will take more time to discern whether Ferrari are genuinely on the up, but for now the racing between them and Williams looks likely to be just as intense as that between Hamilton and Rosberg. Red Bull have had a chastening weekend, and typically team bosses Christian Horner and Helmut Marko have not tried to hide their dissatisfaction with engine partner Renault. Renault's engine is worse than it was last season - no more powerful, just as unreliable and with worse driveability. "I have no idea how they have managed to mess it up so badly," Horner told BBC Sport. Except the word he used was rather less polite than "mess". So fractured had been Red Bull's build-up to qualifying that new driver Daniil Kvyat said he was "guessing not driving" as he fought for grid positions. The Russian driver was 0.4secs off his team-mate Australian Daniel Ricciardo, who was in at least as bad a position. Kvyat finished qualifying down in 13th position. As if that was not bad enough, Red Bull will face awkward questions about the comparison with their junior team Toro Rosso, who operate on less than half the budget. Not only did the engines run with no problems in the Toro Rosso, but their rookie driver Carlos Sainz Jr was highly impressive in qualifying - just one place behind Ricciardo and within 0.2secs of the Australian, who took seventh spot. All of which raises the possibility that Toro Rosso's tiny team under well-regarded technical director James Key has designed a better car than the legendary Adrian Newey. Which would be a bit embarrassing if it turned out to be true. That Lotus were slightly disappointed with ninth and 10th places on the grid says a lot about how far they have come in 12 months, after designing a dog of a car in 2014. Still, solid points were the aim coming into this race, and that looks very much on the cards, which would be a good start to a season that should be a vast improvement on last year. Media playback is not supported on this device After a tumultuous weekend, including missing all of first practice as a result of the contractual dispute with former reserve driver Giedo van der Garde, 11th place on the grid has to count as a triumph for Sauber and their driver Felipe Nasr. Whether the Brazilian will be in the car at the next race, though, is a different question; as is who will be running the team. It would appear there was a lot more to the Van der Garde situation than a mere argument over a driver contract. The whispers in the paddock were that the ownership of financially troubled Sauber is at stake, and that the former Caterham, HRT and Midland boss Colin Kolles may be in the background. Things will become clearer in the next few days, it seems. Force India may not have problems as serious as Sauber's, but they are clearly suffering from the cash-flow issues that led to them only doing two-and-a-half days of testing with their new car. That number is probably around the equivalent of what McLaren managed in 12 days of pre-season testing. It was clear long ago that they were off the pace, the problems almost entirely down to their new Honda engine, but few were expecting it to be this bad. Three seconds on paper off the pace of Mercedes in the first qualifying session (Q1), after which McLaren drivers Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen were eliminated, equated to about four seconds once the fact that McLaren were on the soft tyre and Mercedes on the medium at the time, was taken into account. Add in that Mercedes will have turned up their engine between Q1 and Q3 and the real deficit between McLaren and Mercedes is in the region of five seconds. Button and the team bosses continue to talk a good game about the potential of their new car, as long as the engine problems can be sorted out. But it is a big "if". Australian GP qualifying results Australian GP coverage details The 18 charges include murder, rape and the recruitment of child soldiers. Evidence has been gathered from more than 2,000 alleged victims, including former child soldiers. Nicknamed "The Terminator", Gen Ntaganda's trial is the biggest and most complex case in the ICC's history. He fought for different rebel groups as well as the Democratic Republic of Congo's army. He made his not guilty plea in a barely audible voice, standing in the dock with his signature pencil moustache, reports the BBC's Anna Holligan from court. The start of the trial was a historic moment for international justice and for the Democratic Republic of Congo, our correspondent adds. The 41-year-old is accused of killing at least 800 civilians during separate attacks on a number of villages between 2002 and 2003. He is also accused of raping girl soldiers and keeping them as sex slaves. "Humanity demands justice for these crimes," ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told the court. Anna Holligan, BBC News, The Hague The prosecutor used her opening statement to describe the experience of one witness in chilling detail. It was the aftermath of an attack on a village in the Ituri region of eastern DR Congo. Ms Bensouda said the witness searched though a pile of bodies, and found his wife, toddler son and daughter, whose head was punctured and her throat slit. Then, he discovered his remaining two children who had been killed in the same way. He gathered the bodies of his family and buried them in a field. According to the prosecutor, the rape and sexual enslavement of girls was so prevalent in Gen Ntaganda's Union of Congolese Patriots (UCP) rebel army, that girls were referred to as "a large communal cooking pot" - commanders, she alleged, could pass the girls around and use them for sex whenever they pleased. Human rights groups here in The Hague have celebrated Gen Ntaganda's appearance, saying it is proof that even the most powerful leaders may one day be brought to justice. In 2013, Gen Ntaganda handed himself in at the US embassy in the Rwandan capital, Kigali. He had evaded capture for seven years after the ICC first issued warrants for his arrest. Bosco Ntaganda was part of the UCP rebel group, led by Thomas Lubanga, who in 2014 became the first person to be convicted by the ICC. Gen Ntaganda was one of the leaders of the M23 rebel movement, which had fought government troops until signing a peace deal in 2013. Eastern DR Congo has suffered two decades of violence linked to ethnic rivalries and competition for control of the area's rich mineral resources. Profile: Bosco Ntaganda the Congolese 'Terminator' The order had been in place at Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary since 25 January. The temporary ban has allowed the outbreak to be brought under control, officials said. All but three wards are now virus-free. Restrictions remain in place in affected areas. North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust renewed its appeal for people who have had diarrhoea, vomiting or flu-like symptoms in the past 48 hours to stay away. The policy announced on Friday has a goal of cutting back on nicotine levels in order to discourage addiction and lower the number of US smokers. The FDA says tobacco is responsible for 480,000 American deaths each year, and $300bn (£228bn) in medical costs. Stock market shares of tobacco plummeted after the plan was announced. On the New York Stock Exchange, shares in Altria dropped by up to 17%, British American Tobacco's stock fell as much as 11%, and Philip Morris dropped by 7% before they all recovered some of their losses. "The overwhelming amount of death and disease attributable to tobacco is caused by addiction to cigarettes - the only legal consumer product that, when used as intended, will kill half of all long-term users," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement. The goal, Mr Gottlieb added, is to "render cigarettes minimally addictive" by reducing the amount of the harmful and addictive chemical, which they say is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. Tobacco companies, such as British American Tobacco (BAT), said the announcement will lead to innovation in the industry. "Dr Gottlieb's comments regarding nicotine and menthol do not come as a surprise to us," said a BAT spokeswoman. "We believe future success will require transformative, innovative products and changing the conversation about tobacco harm reduction," Joanne Walia told the BBC, adding that their American subsidiary Reynolds American Inc, will continue "the transformation of the tobacco industry". The agency announced that they will also look into flavoured-tobacco, such as menthol, during this "public dialogue" period, ahead of a firm policy recommendation. The policy will also apply to e-cigarettes, which are also known as tobacco vaporisers. The Grecians have an outside chance of making the League Two play-offs, but realistically must win their final three matches to make the top seven. "The next three games will dictate decisions I make. "We're not in a position where I can say 'yes, we're plodding along in mid-table and we know what we're going to do'," Tisdale told BBC Sport. "In isolation there's a reason for everybody, everyone's played their part and has benefit to the squad. "But from a manager's point of view, structurally you're always trying to develop and eke out more efficiency." However, Tisdale said that players not currently in the side, could still be part of his longer term plans at St James Park. "Those that are playing on Saturday aren't the ones that are guaranteed to be in the team in six month's time - that's about the rhythm we have as a team now," he added. "That doesn't mean that they are ahead of others who may not be on the pitch." 17 April 2017 Last updated at 17:17 BST The public have been asked to help track down those responsible for the massive piles of refuse at a warehouse near Newton Mearns. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said calls about the former Netherplace Dye Works would be treated in confidence. The waste has been blamed for an infestation of flies in Glasgow's southern suburbs. The Hague-based OPCW added that it expected more details from Syria in the coming days and had postponed a meeting planned for Sunday. Syria was given a Saturday deadline to give a full list of its chemical arms. The US had threatened military action over a chemical attack in Damascus which the UN says was a war crime. The US, UK and France have accused Syrian government forces of carrying out the 21 August attack, in the Ghouta district, but President Bashar al-Assad has blamed rebel groups. By Paul AdamsBBC News The agreement reached last Saturday in Geneva set some very ambitious deadlines. Syria was given just a week to hand over "a comprehensive listing" to the OPCW, including names and quantities of chemical weapons agents, types of munitions, as well as where and how Syria's chemical weapons are developed, produced and stored. Syria's initial submission to the OPCW clearly doesn't meet this stringent standard, but this may not matter. Together with Syria's quick ratification of the OPCW charter, last weekend, it's an indication that the Assad regime is prepared to engage with this process, even if it would prefer to do so at its own pace. It's still early days, but the rest of the Geneva agreement's demanding timetable could be hard to meet. It would be surprising if the Assad regime did not play for time to a certain extent. It may not feel it can use its chemical weapons, but that doesn't mean that they're not still valuable. As long as the international community feels that Syria is co-operating, however reluctantly, the regime knows it's very unlikely to be bombed. Separately, two Syrian rebel groups have agreed a ceasefire in the northern town of Azaz after two days of fighting that raised fears of a war within a war. Michael Luhan, a spokesman for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is responsible for policing the treaty outlawing chemical arms, said Syria's submission was an "initial declaration". Mr Luhan said it was now being examined by the organisation's technical secretariat but he declined to say what was in it. A UN diplomat confirmed to Reuters that details had been submitted, adding: "It's quite long... and being translated." The US-Russia-brokered deal aims to have inspectors on the ground in Syria in November, when they will make an initial assessment and oversee the destruction of certain equipment. The destruction of all of Syria's chemical weapons would then be completed by mid-2014. The core members of the OPCW were expected to vote on the timetable next week. However, the OPCW said in a statement on Friday that a meeting of its executive council scheduled for Sunday had been postponed, without giving a reason. "We will announce the new date and time... as soon as possible," it said. Sources: CSIS, RUSI UN findings analysed Western military options Once the OPCW agrees to the plan, the UN Security Council will seek to endorse it. The five permanent members are still discussing the wording of a resolution, with Russia opposing threats of force against Syria. The White House said on Friday that the threat of military action remained on the table if Syria broke the agreement. On Monday, the UN confirmed in a report that the nerve agent sarin had been used in a rocket attack in Ghouta, although it did not apportion blame. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the mission was unable to verify the number of casualties, but referred to the "terrible loss of life on 21 August". France, the UK and US insist the report clearly backs their stance that only government forces were capable of carrying out the attack. Syria's ally, Russia, rejected the argument, saying it had "serious grounds" to believe the attack had been a provocation by rebel forces. Separately on Friday, the two rebel groups - the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (Isis), linked to al-Qaeda, and the larger Western-backed Free Syrian Army - agreed a truce in Azaz, near the Turkish border. Isis had seized the northern town from the FSA on Wednesday. By Paul WoodBBC News, Turkey-Syria border Clash exposes Syria rebel rifts Profile: Islamic State in Iraq and Levant The fighting began when a wounded rebel - either from Isis or from an allied group, al-Muhajireen - was taken to a field clinic and, while there, he was filmed as part of a fundraising exercise. The wounded fighter demanded the film, and called on friends to come to his aid, prompting a full-scale attack. The BBC's Paul Wood, on the border, says that under the ceasefire deal the two rebel sides have agreed to exchange prisoners and hand back property. More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising against President Assad began in 2011. Millions of Syrians have fled the country, mostly to neighbouring nations, and millions more have been internally displaced. The historic race, now in its 305th year, paid tribute to The Queen in her 90th birthday year by renaming the Gold Cup in her honour.

Jordon Begley, 23, died in hospital after being Tasered in Gorton following a row with neighbours on 10 July 2013. Eleven officers attended Mr Begley's home after his mother called 999 to report he had a knife. The inquest jury delivered a narrative verdict after a five-week hearing at Manchester Civil Courts of Justice. Following the verdict, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) "restricted" the operational duties of the officers involved in the case. Jordon Begley was shot with the 50,000 volt stun gun from a distance of 28in (70cm). He was hit with "distraction strikes" while being restrained and handcuffed by three armed officers from GMP, the inquest was told. While the initial Taser shock did not cause his heart to stop, the jury concluded that the use of the Taser and the restraint "more than materially contributed" to a "package" of stressful factors leading to Mr Begley's cardiac arrest. Another factor, they concluded, was Mr Begley's intoxication at the time of the incident and confrontation with police. In damning conclusions, the jury said the officer who pulled the Taser trigger, PC Terence Donnelly, "inappropriately and unreasonably" used the stun gun for longer than was necessary. The jury said PC Donnelly pulled the trigger for eight seconds which was "not reasonable in the circumstances". After Mr Begley struggled and was restrained by armed police they were "more concerned with their own welfare than his," they added. The 23-year-old factory worker offered "minimal resistance" and there was "no need" for one officer to punch him a second time in a "distraction strike" as they handcuffed him, the inquest heard. The ruling concluded he was also left too long face down with his hands cuffed behind his back. Outside court his mother, Dorothy Begley, 47, described the jury's conclusions as "fantastic" and called for all police officers to wear body cameras. She said: "After two years of fighting everybody, fighting the system, Jordon's day has come. That is all I ever wanted. The last two years have been hell." "Someone has got to say sorry, they've got to. That's what we want." The family is now seeking legal advice. Assistant Chief Constable Dawn Copley said the verdict had "raised a number of serious concerns, including the way the Taser was used, the use of force by the officers after the Taser was deployed and about the communication between the officers who attended Jordon's home". "In the interim, I have decided to restrict the operational duties of the officers involved in the Taser discharge and restraint until we have had time to fully consider the coroner's comments and have further dialogue with the IPCC." Since the introduction of Tasers in 2003, Home Office figures show its use has increased by more than 200%, with one in 10 officers now armed with a Taser and more than 10,000 Taser incidents in England and Wales in 2013. The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) says fracking can go ahead if three key tests are met. And the government says it already plans to meet those tests – on methane leaks, gas consumption and carbon budgets. Environmentalists argue fracking will make the UK’s climate change targets impossible to achieve. But the CCC disagrees. Its tests of government policy are: Though the government is confident these conditions will be reached, a spokesman admitted that any increase in current carbon emissions in future would make current targets even more challenging. There is already a growing mismatch between the government's long-term promises on climate change and the policies to deliver carbon cuts according to the CCC and National Grid. There is huge uncertainty about the projections on fracking from the CCC and the government. The UK currently has no shale gas production, and many observers believe the potential of fracking in the UK has been hyped. A CCC scenario projecting the most aggressive trajectory of shale gas development with minimum necessary regulation by 2030 estimates emissions of around 11 million tonnes of CO2 a year. But even that is only a quarter of the UK's emissions from agriculture and land use change. One expert told BBC News: "This is more or less loose change when it comes to the carbon budgets. It’s likely that the local effects like lorry disturbance will prove a more significant issue." The CCC mostly accepts the government’s reassurances on its three tests. The government is confident it has learned from regulatory failures in the early days of so-called wildcat fracking in the US. Professor Jim Skea from the committee says with best practice, UK shale gas may have a lower carbon footprint than much of the gas currently imported, which has to be compressed at great energy cost. But he wants more detail on rules over the completion of wells, when methane can burp out along with the fracking fluid injected into the ground to release the gas. He also wants chapter and verse on how wells will be inspected after they have been decommissioned and before they are abandoned. He told BBC News: "The CCC accepts that the government plans are mostly on track but wants more detail. Our recommendation is to monitor what government does because we are making the assumption that we have a very well regulated industry and we need some details filled in on that." The CCC also urged the government to make progress on capture and storage technology, which allows fossil fuels to be burned with minimal emissions of CO2. The Prime Minister previously said this was vital for the UK before he scrapped a competition to develop it - in order to save cash. The previous head of the Environment Agency, Chris Smith, said fracking should only go ahead if CCS was imposed, and the CCC report says that without CCS the UK would need to eliminate almost all CO2 from all sectors of the economy by 2050. A government spokesman said ministers were working on other ways of encouraging CCS without a publicly-funded competition. He also confirmed that the government still intended to show by the end of the year how it would achieve long-term CO2 targets. The government is to make a final decision on whether to allow fracking at two sites in Lancashire by 6 October. Energy firm Cuadrilla is appealing against Lancashire County Council's refusal to let it extract shale gas at Little Plumpton and Roseacre Wood. Professor Richard Davies from Newcastle University, said: “To do what the Committee on Climate Change recommend, and do it transparently, could force the UK to develop the world’s best ‘smart’ monitoring technologies for emissions from well sites. There will be new business opportunities if a shale industry takes off." Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace, said: "The idea that fracking can be squared with the UK's climate targets is based on a tower of assumptions, caveats, and conditions on which there is zero certainty of delivery. "The problem with ramping up a whole new high-carbon infrastructure and the fossil fuel vested interests to go with it is that you can't just dial it down later on if emissions start going through the roof." Labour's Barry Gardiner said: "The CCC report lays out three fundamental tests but the government has decided to do precisely nothing to increase protection for the public or to deliver security for our climate targets. "On this basis, it is currently neither safe nor reasonable to approve any fracking in Britain." Follow Roger on Twitter. Andrea Cutler carried on living at Sandra Bainbridge's cottage in Belper, Derbyshire, after she had killed the 70-year-old in December 2013. Cutler, 39, from Derby, has a long history of mental illness. She was charged with murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Sentencing her at Nottingham Crown Court, Judge Gregory Dickinson QC said: "Clearly this defendant is very dangerous. "She presents a serious risk of harm to the public. Her mental illness contributed largely to this terrible crime." He gave her a hospital order with no time limit. The prosecution and defence psychiatrists believe she was suffering from schizoaffective psychosis, a severe mental illness, at the time of the killing. She had a list of criminal convictions, including assaulting her ex-partner and his mother, and an unprovoked attack on a woman who had walked out of a city centre department store. Prior to killing Ms Bainbridge, she had most recently been in court on 3 December 2013, charged with harassing a woman she had been to school with. She told psychiatrists she was jealous of Amelia Horne who ran a successful cafe in Derby called Jack Rabbits. Cutler repeatedly went to the cafe where she would shout and swear at Ms Horne, even threatening to stab her to death. She left the magistrates court and failed to return after the hearing was adjourned for her to speak to a probation officer about a psychiatric assessment. Shaun Smith QC, prosecuting, said this "set in train a series of events that would lead to the senseless and brutal killing of Sandra Bainbridge". Having absconded Cutler returned to her own home in Derby, packed two rucksacks and walked to Belper. She claimed to have slept rough in an "old man's garden" before finding Ms Bainbridge's cottage in Short Row and treating it as her own. She used her credit card to buy food and even changed the landline phone number. Ms Bainbridge returned from Turkey on 9 December 2013, after a week with her friend, Derek Joyner. Cutler then attacked the pensioner, stabbing her repeatedly to the head, face and vagina. A post-mortem examination suggested Ms Bainbridge was alive for up to 35 minutes after the attack before eventually losing consciousness. Cutler took Ms Bainbridge's car and drove to Derby, then returned to the house and tried to clean up the blood using a mop and a dressing gown. After hiding her body under a duvet in the garden, she remained at the dead woman's home and continued using her car. Concerned when he could not contact his friend by phone, Mr Joyner went to the house late on 10 December. He found Cutler upstairs and challenged her, but she tried to attack him and chased him out of the house. Mr Joyner phoned the police, who found Ms Bainbridge's body. Cutler had fled to Greater Manchester, where she was arrested. She told police: "I didn't enjoy it, I didn't want to do it, it's just an event that happened, that I was really unlucky. "I'm lucky that Mr Joyner didn't get murdered, manslaughtered, well whatever comes out of this, as well." Or to break a hand and arm and then return to win a race six weeks later either. Never mind fire ozone - a form of oxygen - up her own backside just to get to the startline in the first place. And - in a way - she isn't. "I create my own alter-ego as an athlete - essentially I am playing a character out there," the 35-year-old tells BBC Sport. "I found that me as Lesley Paterson - nice, chatty, 'no, no, no, you go first' - doesn't work. This alter ego allows me to get feisty, angry, aggressive and be less nervous. "I think about everything - the character traits, the things I wear, certain things I do before the race. It is like method acting. "My husband knows that that character sometimes crosses over - I can be a bit of a bitch before racing!" It may be a character that she is playing, but it is Paterson's name on three triathlon world titles. She specialises in cross-country triathlon, fighting her way through choppy seas, up mountains and along muddy trails to the ITU Cross World title in 2012 and Xterra world crowns in 2011 and 2012. On Sunday, in Hawaii, she will aim to add a third Xterra world title to the European title she won in August. The pineapple fields and soft white sand of the south Pacific are a long way from the rugby pitches of her native Stirling. But Paterson believes that mixing it with the boys in mini-rugby as a girl toughened her into the athlete that she is today. "I played for Stirling County from the age of about seven to 12. It was me and about 250 boys each weekend," she explains. "I walked out on the field and they were all laughing and giggling at me. I had to suck it up and show them that I was just as good and hard as them. "After rugby I did 'regular' triathlon, but that has become a bit poseur-y. Everyone has got all the gear, it is kind of clinical, a little bit sterile. "Xterra is gritty, filthy, dirty, with a lot of heart. It has brought me everything that I had in rugby - that grittiness, that muddiness, that camaraderie." It is glitter- not grit - that characterises Paterson's life away from triathlon. After combining training with an undergraduate degree in drama at Loughborough University, she moved to the United States, doing a Masters in Theatre at San Diego State University. An acting career followed with parts in a series of independent productions - including the lead in a David Gray music video. It seems an unlikely mix - there are not many world champions with an extensive IMDB entry - but Paterson says that it helped her sporting career - and not just making by making that startline persona more convincing. "Being a professional athlete can be a very selfish, one-dimensional, introspective world - but the arts have opened up my eyes," she adds. "It has helped me understand characters and emotions and myself - it has given me a very different perspective." She is now a screenwriter and producer. Her latest project is bringing together the people and finances for a film version of the seminal World War One novel All Quiet on the Western Front. Daniel Radcliffe was initially attached and now Roger Donaldson - best known for his work on Cocktail - has been signed up to direct. Paterson has faced her own battles in the past few years. In 2011, after suffering from persistent head tics, nausea and fatigue, she was diagnosed with bacterial infection Lyme Disease. Paterson suddenly had to learn to train smarter - improving her fitness, but without overwhelming her depleted immune system. "It used to be that I could have an amazing day, win the world championships and then the next I could not keep up with my grandma," she explains. "What makes me good is my ability to keep pushing through the pain, but that is the very thing that also got me into trouble. "It is always that innate part of my personality that wants to push. I have had to mature as a person and an athlete to understand when to hold back." But, as those triathletes who might be dodging raw sewage at Rio 2016 triathlon next summer will attest, open-water swims are particularly risky to those susceptible to illness. Paterson goes through a regime of Chinese herbal treatments and parasite cleanses as soon as she gets out the water to help her gut cope with whatever nasties are heading its way. And once back home in San Diego she encases herself in an 'ozone sauna' - a pod that wraps around her body and pumps the gas into her open pores - to try and kill off anything that might still be lurking. She will also administer the gas rectally to take the fight to troublesome bacteria on all fronts possible. Neither treatment is part of the conventional treatment for the disease. But Paterson says that after trying various options, they work for her. But perhaps the most powerful remedy comes from within rather than without. "I just like to overcome a challenge," she concludes. "We live in a world of people telling us what we can and cannot do. "How we live our life, how you are supposed to heal - the doctor's standard response to tell you to lay off it for six to eights weeks - but there is no standard individual. "If you really want to be successful in your life you have to feel those fears, find the boundaries and push against them. That comes with the potential to fall flat on your face, but I would rather do that than live in mediocrity." The notorious crime boss penned the four letters to Maureen Baker, a personal friend, at HMP Parkhurst while serving a life sentence for murder. Wiltshire auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said one letter revealed "a real 'what if' moment" in the gangster's life. The letters from Kray, who died of cancer in 2000 aged 66, were sold for £250 over their reserve price. Kray ran a huge crime empire across the east end of London in the 1950s and 60s, alongside his brother, Ronnie. The handwritten letters, mostly illegible, were written to Mrs Baker who he knew from the Tottenham Royal dance hall in the early 1950s. "The letters offer a fascinating snap shot into the mind of one of Britain's most notorious gangsters," said Mr Aldridge. "One sentence in particular makes fascinating reading: 'I never did receive the letters in the guard house, if I had it may have changed the direction of both our lives, but it is no good to look back.' "This letter represents a real sliding doors or 'what if' moment of history on how his life could have been so different if he had have received the letters he mentioned." Sold by a relative of Mrs Baker, who is now deceased, Mr Aldridge said the lot had attracted interest from London, Rome and Sydney but was eventually bought by a collector from Wiltshire. The Kray brothers, were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1969 for their involvement in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets, assaults, and the murders of Jack "The Hat" McVitie and George Cornell. Ronnie died in Broadmoor Hospital in 1995 while Reggie died from cancer in October 2000, eight weeks after he was released from his term on compassionate grounds. The video shows how a new 5km section of the new M8, between Shawhead and Baillieston, is taking shape. It also shows 5km of new pedestrian and cycle routes running alongside the route, which is due to be completed by spring 2017. The drone footage also shows other upgrade work to the M73 and M74. The £500m project aims to upgrade central Scotland's busy motorways and significantly reduce congestion. It has been estimated that the road improvements could reduce the average daily car commute between Glasgow and Edinburgh by 20 minutes. Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: "This drone footage provides the public with a unique perspective of these major construction works that are currently under way to improve the connection between Glasgow and Edinburgh, but are largely out of sight to road users on the existing A8. "The significant progress achieved is clear to see, and, as we enter the final phase of works along the A8 corridor, I hope the public can be reassured that, once complete, the benefits will far outweigh the current disruption. "I'd like to thank road users for their patience to date and would ask that they bear with us during this final push to complete the M8 missing link." The 23-year-old midfielder sat out last season's final defeat by Barnsley because he was suspended. But after the U's 3-2 win at Luton Town on Wednesday, Oxford are heading back to Wembley to face Coventry City. "I am just over the moon that I can finally get the chance to go and put it right this year," said Lundstram. "Last year was disappointing for us, even me in the stands, so if we can go there this year and do one better than that would be perfect," he told BBC Radio Oxford. Oxford, who also reached the FA Cup fifth round before losing to Premier League side Middlesbrough. will face the Sky Blues at Wembley on 2 April. "You do not play at Wembley at often, so to get the opportunity again twice in two seasons, we want to try and make sure that we do it this time around," said head coach Michael Appleton. The band - who count Dignity and Real Gone Kid among their hits - will follow in the footsteps of The Human League and Simple Minds at the Aberdeenshire town's Open Air In The Square (OAITS). An OAITS spokesperson said: "This is a major boost to Stonehaven's growing reputation as one of the top Hogmanay venues in Scotland. "We are delighted to feature one of the biggest names in the pop world." Lead singer Ricky Ross said: "We are really looking forward to coming to Stonehaven. "It's a place I know quite well. When I was young I grew up in Dundee and used to come to lots of places along the east coast. "I haven't been in Stonehaven for a long time and I am looking forward to coming back. It's the first time we will have done a gig there. "We're not doing a lot of gigs this year so it's one of a few special gigs." South-African born artist Susanne du Toit won the £30,000 top prize for a portrait in oils of her 35-year-old son Pieter. Coventry-based artist and teacher John Devane took the £10,000 second prize for a portrait of his three children. The paintings will go on show at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Gallery director Sandy Nairne called du Toit's painting "simple but outstanding". Du Toit, who is now based in Crowthorne, Berkshire, also wins a commission from the gallery's trustees worth £5,000. She painted her son as part of a series of portraits of her family. She allowed Pieter to find his own pose, with the condition that his hands would appear prominently as she finds them essential to convey personality. Take a look at this portrait of two well-known family members at BBC Your Paintings, along with other works from the National Portrait Gallery "Having said that, the averted gaze of this portrait, which was his choice, struck me as characteristic of his reflective character, and became intensely engaging", she said. This will be the second time Devane's work has been exhibited at the BP Portrait Award - his picture In the House of The Cellist was seen in the 1995 exhibition. He painted his children Lucy, 25, Laura, 20, and Louis, 15, over a period of three years. The painting sets out to show how children emerge from childhood and reveal something of their adult selves. Almost 2,000 artists from 77 different countries entered portraits in the competition. 55 portraits have been selected for the exhibition which opens to the public at the gallery on Thursday (20 June) before travelling to Aberdeen in November and Wolverhampton next year. Scottish painter Owen Normand, who studied at Edinburgh College of Art but is now based in Berlin, won the £7,000 Young Artist Award. "He wanted to go and train one against one," Kalou told BBC Sport. "We were only teenagers but I remember it like it was yesterday." Like both of the Toure brothers - Kolo and Yaya - Kalou began his football career with the academy at Asec Mimosas in the Ivorian city of Abidjan. In fact most of the players who will start against Japan in Ivory Coast's opening match of the World Cup in Recife on 14 June have known each other for nearly two decades. Media playback is not supported on this device "I joined the academy in 1997 and Yaya was already there and Kolo, too," said Kalou. "We've had at least 17 years of playing together. "We always want to lift each other and make each other get better. I can't thank Kolo enough for knocking on my door every morning. "As a kid you don't realise how important that is but now I realise it is vital to have people to push you to your limit." In Brazil, Ivory Coast will be aiming to qualify for the knockout stages for the first time in their history and they have been drawn in a group - along with Colombia, Greece and Japan - that appears to give them a great chance of progressing. Kalou also feels that the relationships the players have forged since they were youngsters could make all the difference. "I remember the last qualifying game against Senegal and the assist Yaya Toure gave me for the last goal," Kalou said. "I knew that his first intention wasn't to pass the ball to the first striker who called for the ball because I know that he always has that second touch to try to play the perfect ball. "So I waited a little bit and I ran at the right moment to receive the ball and score the goal. "That can change the game so it's important to have that kind of understanding on the pitch, and off the pitch as well, because it can help us to win the game. "I know how they play, I understand their game and how they want to give the ball. Sometimes it's very important to have those feelings in an important game." Despite the fact that he was part of a Chelsea team that won the Champions League, a Premier League title and four FA Cups, Kalou admits he has sometimes been in the shadow of the other stars of Ivory Coast's so-called golden generation. But he has developed and matured since he joined French side Lille and in World Cup qualification he was the top scorer for Sabri Lamouchi's side, with two crucial goals in the play-off against Senegal, which the Elephants won 4-2 on aggregate. "That's what I've learnt at Lille, playing for this club I knew couldn't hide behind a Yaya Toure or a Didier Drogba," he said. "Being at Chelsea was an amazing experience, I arrived there young and I was surrounded by big players and big brothers so I was kind of the little kid. "I was well protected by players like Didier and when things were bad at Chelsea I was not the one to take the blame. "At Lille that's not the case; if Lille is not going right, I'm taking the blame. I've learnt through tough experiences. I knew I couldn't hide anymore. Lille changed the way I see things and I'm not afraid of going forward and showing that I can bring a team to the top level. "In the World Cup qualifiers I finished with five goals for Ivory Coast and finishing as top scorer in the qualifiers was a good moment because it's something that I pushed myself to achieve. "Usually I wouldn't be among the top scorers but scoring those important goals was a challenge. "I pushed myself to do that and if we're going to do well at the World Cup we have to push each other. Pushing Gervinho, pushing Didier (Drogba) pushing Yaya is good for the team because we'll get the best out of each other." For all their success at club level, the likes of Kalou, Gervinho and Yaya are yet to win a trophy with Ivory Coast. The Elephants were runners-up at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2006 and 2012 but with the likes of Drogba and Kolo approaching the end of their careers, this could be the final chance for the current group to make an impact on the world stage. "People would like to see that generation winning something," Kalou says. "The generation of Drogba, Didier Zokora and Kolo are a little bit older than us but what they did so well was to bring the team to their level because nobody did it before; Ivory Coast had never qualified for a World Cup before that generation. "I think they have done brilliantly for the country. Today Ivory Coast is the highest ranked African team on Fifa's list so that's a big achievement. "We have one dream and that is to win something together I think because we've worked so hard to get to this level, it would be important to achieve something together, it's so important for our generation and also the country." The 27-year-old former Arsenal trainee made 42 appearances for the U's last season. Dunne, who is Swindon's second summer signing, has also had spells with Exeter, Stevenage and Portsmouth. "I spoke to the gaffer last week and what he plans to do with the club is what attracted me here," he told the club website. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Jennifer Hastings, 52, disappeared from Warriston Drive, Edinburgh, at about 10:00 on Tuesday without contacting her family. Police Scotland thanked everyone for their help. Scott Hastings won 65 caps at centre for Scotland from 1986 to 1997. This year is the 158th "best of British farming" extravaganza at Harrogate's Great Yorkshire Showground. An £11.5m exhibition hall the size of three and a half Olympic swimming pools, to house the Food Hall, is new this year. There will be more than 1,200 stands, with competitions ranging from horse-shoeing to sheep-shearing. Get live updates and highlights from the BBC throughout the three-day show. The forecast on the first day is bright with warm sunny spells, light winds and a low risk of very isolated showers. The 2012 event was cancelled after one day for the first time in its history due to heavy rain, at a cost of £2m. Supporters and opponents of the bill held competing rallies outside the statehouse in Raleigh. More than 50 critics of the legislation were arrested after entering and refusing to leave the building. The controversial law invalidates local anti-discrimination measures that protected gay and transgender people. It also requires people to use public toilets that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificates. Major companies such as Bank of America and Apple have criticised the law. Other companies including Pay Pal and Deutsche Bank vowed to curtail their businesses in the state because of it. "It took great courage for them to establish this bill," Doug Woods, 82, a supporter told the Associated Press. "They need to stand firm." Although the Republican-dominated legislature opposes overturning the law, Democratic state lawmakers have proposed repeal. "It would not undo with the swipe of a pen the incredible damage that House Bill 2 has done to our economy," Democratic lawmaker Grier Martin said of a repeal. "But it would stop the bleeding and put North Carolina back on the path of progress and moving forward." The legislators met for a brief session on Monday evening but soon adjourned, to the annoyance of critics of the bill. Arrests were made as the protesters refused to leave the building when it closed for the night. In response to the backlash, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory has made small adjustments to the law, but he said restrictions on the use of public toilets would remain. Business groups and gay rights activists said Mr McCrory's adjustments were not enough. Also on Monday, pop singers Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas cancelled forthcoming shows to protest against the law, joining dozens of other entertainers including Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam. Some supporters of the law 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. The hosts made a fast start but City went ahead after just 12 minutes as Mark Marshall's initial shot was pushed by David Martin onto the post and after a scramble in the six-yard box, Cullen popped up to strike from close range. With the Dons shell-shocked, Bradford doubled their lead five minutes later as Clarke's strike from 20 yards out found the bottom right-hand corner past the out-stretched Martin. Chasing the game, the Dons upped the pace in the second half and created plenty of chances as City crowded the middle of the park. Ed Upson came close as his long-range effort hit the post while George Williams tested out Colin Doyle. But despite their endeavour, the hosts could not make a breakthrough until the fourth minute of injury time as Upson reacted quickest to a rebound after Paul Downing's header hit the crossbar.

Amey engineers were given the Greatest Contribution to Scotland Award at the 2016 Saltire Society Civil Engineering Awards. Judges described the repair to the "truss end link" on the bridge as "a remarkable" engineering feat. The fault resulted in the bridge's closure on 3 December for three weeks. The bridge, which opened in 1964, was shut after the fractured steelwork was found during an inspection three weeks before Christmas. That resulted in major disruption to the region, with the 70,000 vehicles that use the bridge daily being diverted along a 33-mile route to the Kincardine Bridge. Award judges said that by repairing the bridge ahead of schedule and under "extreme media, political and public scrutiny", the lives of commuters and travellers were able to return to normal after only 20 days of disruption. Convenor of the judging panel Gordon Pomphrey, said: "The Forth Road Bridge project demonstrated a remarkable engineering achievement carried out during a period of adverse weather conditions, whilst ensuring public safety and the structural integrity of the bridge." Speaking on behalf of Amey, major bridges director Ewan Angus said the project offered a "unique opportunity to showcase civil engineering to the nation. He added: "We are incredibly proud of our team's achievement in reopening the bridge early in the most challenging of circumstances and of the benefit this brought to the people of Scotland." Humza Yousaf, Minister for Transport and the Islands added: "It is fitting that the unsung heroes responsible for developing such an innovative and effective solution against a challenging deadline and under the watchful eye of a nation have been recognised for their efforts." Also recognised at the awards was the realignment of the A82 at Pulpit Rock, which won the infrastructure award. The A82 was reduced to a single lane more than 30 years ago following a land-slip. The project team widened the road over the 400m-long pinch point. Commendations were also given to the teams behind the Lamington viaduct work, Gourock Pier Redevelopment and the £86m Elgin Flood Alleviation Scheme. The 60-year-old, nicknamed Wolfie, was diagnosed in April and has completed a course of radiotherapy. "I'm waiting for an appointment in November and hopefully that'll be the point the consultant says 'You're doing very well Mr Adams, we'll see you in three months' time'," said Adams. "What you don't want to hear is 'Ah, we have a problem'." Following his diagnosis, Adams has missed some tournaments during the summer throughout his radiotherapy course but has been playing in exhibition tournaments and is still ranked as number five in the BDO. He has also been working with the Prostate Cancer UK charity to raise awareness. "The treatment is very good. Hats off to the oncology and radiography teams," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. "Any question you may have, no matter how small or major it is, if they don't know the answer they're going to find out." The theft of the large stone ornament from the Kingston Park area left the 82-year-old owner devastated, as it was a present from her late husband and was her "pride and joy". Following an appeal by police, a few days later a note written on a piece of cardboard was left on the doorstep. It read: "I am so very sorry... when I can afford to, I will replace it." A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "It is clear that the offender feels guilty about his actions and I would urge him to come forward and contact police so we can reunite the bird bath with its owner. "Similarly, if you have recently received a birthday present that matches the description of the bird bath taken from this vulnerable victim's garden then please get in touch." The letter read: "I am so very sorry. I wouldn't in a million years have done this but I had to. "It is my mother's birthday and I am in a very bad place. I can't afford a birthday present and she doesn't know how bad it is. "With deep regrets, sorry. This is all I can think of I am so very sorry. When I can afford it I will replace it." The woman wrote a letter in response, which read: "I loved watching the antics of the birds in my bird bath and the birds are missing it too. "Yesterday a pair of collared doves who are daily visitors just sat on the fence facing the empty spot for over an hour. "It was bought 25 years ago by my husband who is now deceased. "We were married for 53 years. A new bird bath won't ever replace it." She told BBC Newcastle: "Poor soul... what sort of state is he in if he is being driven to steal?". The bird bath is described as three foot tall, stone in a Pompeii ash colour, with a wide basin at the top and an acanthus leaf pattern up the stem. Getting on Facebook costs nothing. Getting noticed can prove expensive. The scale of Conservative spending is revealed in invoices from the website. This one shows the Tories were charged £122,814 in September last year. An invoice from Facebook for November 2014 emerged last month. The cost then was £114,956. Taken together they suggest the Conservatives are spending over £1m a year on one website alone. The cost of a candidate Documents filed after last year's by-elections also reveal something about Conservative expectations. The invoice above shows the party spent £924 on Facebook supporting its candidate in the Clacton by election - Giles Watling. He was expected to lose to UKIP defector, Douglas Carswell, and he did. Where expectations are higher, the Tories appear to have spent more. Returns following the Newark by election in June, won by the Conservative Robert Jenrick, show he received £2,800 worth of online support. As this document shows, Facebook came more expensive than the traditional election balloons. Matthew McGregor of Blue State Digital advised Barack Obama's 2012 campaign on new media and is now working with the Labour Party. He tells the Today programme: "The Conservatives are spending their money in a way that gets their content in front of people. "The fact they are outspending the Labour Party many, many times over because of the support from millionaire donors is going to have an impact. "That's something the Labour Party can respond to by out-organising the Conservatives." That message suits Labour, whose supporters like to emphasise that the Conservatives have more cash. I understand Labour has been spending less than £10,000 a month on its own Facebook presence. The party has promised not to feature David Cameron on billboards. Online though, the Prime Minister is an important focus. He features heavily on Labour's Facebook page. UKIP have grown used to being embarrassed by their candidates and supporters online, But they too are investing in their online presence - and are happy to go into detail about their strategy. Their social media boss Raheem Kassam (above) reveals not only the data behind UKIP ads but also what images of Nigel Farage prove most successful online. A photo of UKIP's leader with pint in hand staring to camera is less successful than a picture of him in flat cap by a river, looking in the direction of the Facebook 'like' button. Until recently UKIP spent only about £100 a month on Facebook. But at the Newark by election they invested £3,000 in online advertising, and spending will increase. Kassam also reveals that he types Farage's tweets for him; the MEP does not carry a smart phone. He says: "It is a small press release so to say he's not writing it himself, well, who cares? He doesn't write every press release that comes out of this office. David Cameron doesn't write every press release that comes out of Number 10." All the strategists agree: the aim is not to persuade people to nod thoughtfully while they stare at a screen. They want consumers of their online media to make donations or, even better, to get their friends' support or to knock on doors in marginal constituencies. Sometimes that means focusing on existing supporters, and trying to make them do more. That's the aim of the Conservative chairman Grant Shapps' Team2015 campaign. Oddly - for all the novelties of online marketing, email remains king. Those Tory Facebook invoices show that most of the money was spent encouraging Conservative supporters to hand over their email addresses. Labour and the Conservatives send emails to supporters, and journalists, that appear to come from their front benchers, pleading for donations So while politicians are as obsessive as ever about how they are portrayed in the press and the broadcast media, another campaign is taking place online. It is a spending battleground, rich in data, whose troops are marshalled by experts and advisors. None of them though can guarantee their messages will reach beyond their already-committed activists to the undecided voters who will, in the end, decide the election.

Under current laws a logbook loan is attached to the vehicle, not the person who has taken out the credit. Citizens Advice says the number being taken out rose by 35% between 2011 and 2013. Even if you didn't take out the cash yourself, you could still get into trouble for not repaying it. Newsbeat has been given exclusive figures which show nearly two thirds of young people who called Citizens Advice "in serious debt" had turned to a form of high-cost credit. Paul Brewin, 25, bought his car for £1,000. "As soon as I saw it I fell in love instantly," he told Newsbeat. "It was exactly what I was looking for." He took out a vehicle history check which can identify if there is any outstanding finance, or if the car has ever been stolen, written off or clocked. Some, like the HPI Check, include a guarantee, valuation and mileage information too. "I did a check that cost around £3," he said. "It said the car was clear." There are different types of vehicle history checks you can make. Some are cheaper than others and don't always pick up on all types of finance. Paul says a few weeks after buying the car a logbook loan company got in touch. He said: "I got a few letters come through the door saying, 'We've come today looking for this vehicle or payment'. "I was seeing red. I had steam coming out of my ears. "I've gone and paid for a car and I'm now being told it's not mine." The car wasn't his because the previous owner had taken out a logbook loan, which allows drivers to borrow money against the value of their vehicle. A logbook loan is similar to a payday loan and both are advertised online offering fast cash, with few credit checks. A logbook loan has a typical APR of around 400%. A Freedom of Information request to the HM Courts and Tribunals Service in 2011 by The Citizens Advice Bureau found there were 36,829 Logbook loans sold. In 2013 this went up to 49,745. The Bureau says it expects this to go up further in 2014. James Plunkett is head of consumer research and campaigns for Citizens Advice. "One of the worries about these forms of credit is you get locked into a cycle," he said. "People are taking out more loans to pay off their old ones. "Over time because the interest is so high on these loans they really add up." These logbook loans are just one of a number of different high-cost credit loans citizens advice are warning people about. They say young people are particularly drawn to high-cost credit. They analysed 3,000 calls they received from 17 to 24-year-olds between July and September 2013. Each was classed as in "serious debt" because they had more than one loan. Of these, two-thirds said they needed help after taking out high interest credit. More than one-in-three people in this age group asking for help were in full-time work. James Plunkett believes young people are more likely to take out high-cost credit. "They're very accessible," he said. "You can even get them through your mobile phones." The law commission is carrying out a consultation on "bills of sale" which include logbook loans. Recommendations aimed at giving consumers better protection will be published in 2016. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube No team has won the competition more than once since its inception in 2007. India, Pakistan, England, West Indies and Sri Lanka have all won the title. England lost to West Indies in their first group match but have since won four in a row, while the Windies lost to Afghanistan having qualified for the semi-finals, where they beat India. Australia face West Indies in the women's final. England's Eoin Morgan: "We know it's not going to be a normal game. Even in the semi-final, there was quite a lot of hype around the expectation of playing in a final. "I want all of our players to embrace it. Everything's going to feel a little bit rushed to start with. It's important that we're in a really good frame of mind to slow things down when needed and more importantly execute our skills. "Given the strides we have made in the last 12 months in white-ball cricket, I think this would be a great reward for the mindset we've shown, the dedication and the hard work we've put in." Media playback is not supported on this device West Indies skipper Darren Sammy: "England is a team we respect. We know the calibre of players they have in the dressing room - they have a lot of match-winners as well. "But we tend to focus on what we can do on the cricket field and as a group we believe that once we do what we know we can it is going to be difficult to defeat us. "Since that loss to us, England have moved in leaps and bounds - that's why they are in the final. I always want cricket to be the winner and hope the fans are entertained and it will be a very exciting match, but at the end I just want West Indies to be victorious." Media playback is not supported on this device Eden Gardens has been staging international cricket since 1934 and hosted its first T20 international in 2011. The highest score made there in a T20 was the 201-5 Pakistan posted against Bangladesh in this event. Bangladesh hold the unwanted lowest-score record, with their 70 against New Zealand last month. Neither finalist has yet played at the ground in this tournament, England playing all their games to date in Mumbai and Delhi, West Indies playing at Mumbai, Bangalore and Nagpur. Temperatures are expected to be around 31C for the final, which is a night game, beginning at 19:00 local time, with a capacity crowd of 66,000 expected. BBC Weather's Alex Deakin has prepared a special forecast, which you can see here. BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "England have managed to peak at just the right time - their bruising defeat by the West Indies in their opening match seems years ago. "They've won and won well from difficult positions all the way, gaining the confidence that retains calmness under pressure. "Root, Buttler, Stokes and Roy have all enhanced their credentials, while Jordan's bowling at the end has improved dramatically. "West Indies have proved they are far more than a one-man, Chris Gayle show and their confidence and enthusiasm is sky-high. "If both teams play to their potential, it should be quite a final." ENGLAND lost to West Indies by six wickets, Mumbai: Eng 182-6; WI 183-4 (18.1 overs) beat South Africa by two wickets, Mumbai: SA 229-4; Eng 230-8 (19.4 overs) beat Afghanistan by 15 runs, Delhi: Eng 142-7; Afg 127-9 (20 overs) beat Sri Lanka by 10 runs, Delhi: Eng 171-4; SL 161-8 (20 overs) Semi-final: beat New Zealand by seven wickets, Delhi: NZ 153-8; Eng 159-3 (17.1 overs) WEST INDIES beat England by six wickets, Mumbai beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets, Bangalore: SL 122-9; WI 127-3 (18.2 overs) beat South Africa by three wickets, Nagpur: SA 122-8; WI 123-7 (19.4 overs) lost to Afghanistan by six runs, Nagpur: Afg 123-7; WI 117-8 (20 overs) Semi-final: beat India by six wickets, Mumbai: Ind 192-2; WI 196-3 (19.4 overs) England (probable): A Hales, J Roy, J Root, E Morgan (capt), J Buttler (wkt), B Stokes, M Ali, C Jordan, D Willey, A Rashid, L Plunkett.

The Australians, who beat England by five runs in the semi-final in Delhi, have yet to lose against the Windies, having won all eight of their previous T20 internationals. Stefanie Taylor's Windies are the first team other than Australia, England and New Zealand to qualify for a women's World T20 final. Taylor has proven an inspiration with both bat and ball - her 187 runs in the tournament are bettered only behind England captain Charlotte Edwards and she has taken eight wickets.

Gordon McKay, 37, is accused of killing five-month old Hayley Davidson. It is claimed on various occasions between the day Hayley was born on 9 September 2015 and 14 February 2016 Mr McKay assaulted her in Buckhaven. It includes allegations he did "bend and compress" the baby's body and bite her. He pleaded not guilty during a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow. It is further said Mr McKay repeatedly shook Hayley and "by means to the prosecutor unknown" inflicted trauma and violence on her head and body. The murder accusation states the child was left so severely injured that she died in hospital on 17 February. Mr McKay, also of Buckhaven, faces a second charge of possessing cannabis. Ronnie Renucci, defending, lodged a special defence of incrimination in connection with the murder charge. The advocate said he was not ready for a trial to be set. Judge Lord Beckett instead set a further hearing due to take place in June. Mr McKay was bailed. That defeat - their 27th successive loss across two seasons - means they are now on the longest losing streak in NBA history. Not only that, it is the longest run of defeats across all the country's major professional sports, from major league baseball to American football, from ice hockey's NHL to soccer's MLS. And more records may yet fall. While the 27-game run includes the tail end of last season, their 0-17 record this time round is now just one short of the worst start to an NBA season. The 76ers looked like they might end the sequence when they recovered from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to lead by five points approaching the half-way point of that final quarter but then, in a dramatic finish, threw it away. They have now overtaken their own joint record losing run from two seasons ago, which they held with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Writing rather happier history are Golden State Warriors, who extended their record for the longest unbeaten start to an NBA season with victory over the Phoenix Suns. Their 135-116 win on Friday took their perfect start to 17 straight wins. In the six months after the levy was brought in last October, 640 million plastic bags were used in seven major supermarkets in England, it says. In 2014, the waste reduction charity Wrap estimated the same shops had used 7.64 billion bags over the full year. If that trend were to continue over the year this would be a drop of 83%. It follows the pattern seen in the rest of the UK since the introduction of charges for bags. Wales introduced a levy in 2011, followed by Northern Ireland in 2013 and Scotland in 2014. They saw reductions in bag use of 76%, 71% and 80%, respectively, in the first year after the fee was established. The charge means all retailers with more than 250 full-time employees are required to charge a minimum of 5p to customers for single-use, plastic carrier bags, but paper bags are exempt. Over the six months since the charge was introduced, the government said: Environment Minister Therese Coffey said the reduction in the number of bags being used was "fantastic news". "It will mean our precious marine life is safer, our communities are cleaner and future generations won't be saddled with mountains of plastic taking hundreds of years to break down in landfill sites." This reduction in plastic could benefit the environment, especially the oceans. A report published in the journal Science in 2015 estimated that about eight million tonnes of plastic ends up in global waters each year. Dr Sue Kinsey, from the UK's Marine Conservation Society, said: "Every year we survey our beaches, and last year we found over 5,000 bags over one weekend." She said that birds and marine mammals ate plastic, and bags were also breaking down into smaller pieces and being consumed by tiny marine organisms. However she said that England could do more to further reduce plastic pollution. She said she wanted to see the exemption for small businesses on charging the levy removed. "There's no exemption in Scotland and Wales, for instance," she told BBC News. "If that exemption was removed, we'd see even more plastic bags removed from the environment, which has only got to be good news." But extending the 5p charge would be too much of an administrative burden for smaller businesses, the government has previously said. Meanwhile, Andrew Pendleton from climate change action group Friends of the Earth said plastic bags were only part of the problem. He said that attention should now turn to the "millions of non-recyclable coffee cups that go to landfill, and to oversized boxes and excess packaging as a by-product of online shopping". The final episode of the current series drew an average audience of 7.5 million on Tuesday. The BBC has yet to confirm if the Yorkshire-based show will return, but Wainwright she wanted "time to go away and really come up with stories". She would hate to make a series which "people say wasn't as good", she added. Wainwright, who created the series, told BBC Breakfast she was "so busy with other projects at the moment, I haven't got time to sit down and come up with stories", agreeing there "might be a wait" for a third series. The drama, which stars Sarah Lancashire and James Norton, has been praised by critics, with the first series winning best drama at the Bafta awards in 2015. However, the second series has received criticism for poor sound quality and mumbling, a problem which Wainwright said had "mystified" the production team. "When it leaves the [editing suite], the episode is perfect - it has to be," she said. Wainwright - who has also worked on the BBC's Last Tango In Halifax and ITV's Scott & Bailey - added that producers listened to the episodes on regular televisions before transmission to ensure the sound was clear. "As the series went on, we became more conscious of listening really carefully... we all brought a very ordinary telly in to listen to it on that," she said. "I do find it bemusing that for every person that said 'I can't hear it', there were as many people saying 'I can hear it'," she added. The limit per transaction for the wave and pay cards, which do not require a PIN or a signature to authorise payment, was previously £20. The move follows a huge rise in the number of people using contactless cards in the UK. Transactions for the first half of this year totalled £2.5bn, already higher than the £2.32bn spent in 2014. The UK Cards Association, the trade body for the card payments industry, said the increase meant that the average supermarket spend of £25 would now be covered. "The growth in contactless payments shows people want to use contactless cards, and increasing the limit gives customers even more opportunities to pay in this way," said chief executive Graham Peacop. In July, consumer group Which? warned that data from contactless cards could be easily stolen by determined fraudsters. But the trade body said fraud via the cards was "extremely low", at less than one penny for every £100 spent. The increase also comes after technology giant Apple allowed users of its latest devices to make contactless payments. Kevin Jenkins, managing director UK and Ireland at Visa Europe, said contactless payments were becoming the "new normal". "We've seen unprecedented growth in this area, with the number of Visa contactless transactions more than trebling in the past year in the UK," he added. The increase was first announced in February. A pair of two-mile long tunnels, drilled by custom-built machines, will connect the Tube line to Battersea, south London. New stations at Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station are due to open in 2020. The extension, which will run west from Kennington, will be the first major expansion of the Tube since the Jubilee line in the late 1990s. Named Helen and Amy, the two 650-tonne boring machines - built by NFM Technologies in Le Creusot, France - were unveiled earlier. The 106m-long machines were named by local school children in honour of Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut, and British aviation pioneer Amy Johnson. Each machine is capable of tunnelling up to 30 metres a day with teams of about 50 people needed to operate them. The work is expected to take about six months to complete. According to tunnelling tradition, the machines cannot start work until given a name. Transport for London said the extension, funded entirely through contributions from the developments in the area, will support 25,000 new jobs and more than 20,000 new homes Mayor of London Mr Khan said the extension would be "a real boost to south London". "I'm also delighted that local schoolchildren have chosen two such inspirational British women as the names for these tunnelling machines," he added. With five tower blocks being evacuated, the streets were teeming with neighbours, children, and cameramen. Camden Council employees wearing hi-viz vests stood outside the Taplow tower, speaking to residents. Some of them only realised their homes were being evacuated after hearing news reports. Emmanuel, 18, said they had "not been told anything". "I'm angry to an extent that they didn't tell us sooner." During live broadcasts, one woman shouted angrily at a TV cameraman: "Can you tell me what's going on?" There was a steady trickle of families walking out of Taplow with an array of suitcases, satchels and bags for life. An elderly man called George, wearing a suit and carrying a small duffle bag, was trying to re-enter the complex. His neighbour shouted: "They'll only kick you out again George. Your best bet is to go back to the leisure centre." George - like many other residents - did not want to speak to the media. Many residents were sent to the Swiss Cottage leisure centre, to learn where their temporary accommodation would be. Some people said that - despite the evacuation - they wanted to stay at home. By 21:00 BST, council employees were going floor-by-floor to tell residents who did not know about the evacuation. Brian, who lives on the fifth floor of Taplow tower, said: "It's a weird time to kick people out, especially as it's most children's bedtime." Hampstead and Kilburn MP Tulip Siddiq said: "I realise it's disruptive to people's lives but constituents safety comes first. "If it's not safe then people need to go." The Labour MP said it was a "tough decision" for Camden Council to make, but added: "This building is not safe for our residents. "Our council could not let residents stay overnight." Edward Strange was travelling to Salisbury with his family when news broke on the radio. They turned back immediately to find out what was going on. He said that the evacuation was a "complete overreaction", adding that two previous fires in Taplow were "easily contained". He intended to stay with friends for the first night, but said he could not impose his family on them for much longer. Camden Council has said the works could take up to four weeks. The number of residents being evacuated from the 800 homes is unknown, but it could be in the thousands. Ms Siddiq said that the council had block-booked hotel rooms and were offering them to all residents. Four miles from the Chalcots estate stands the charred remains of Grenfell Tower. At least 79 people are feared dead after a fire engulfed the 24-storey building earlier this month. Camden Council leader Georgia Gould said: "I know it's difficult, but Grenfell changes everything." Louise Simons, who lives in nearby Primrose Hill, came to the tower blocks to offer any displaced residents a spare bed for the evening. "We live locally and have been impacted by the events of Grenfell," she said. "Obviously we wanted to help." Penicuik House was built in the 1760s for Sir James Clerk, 3rd Baronet of Penicuik. In 1899, it was devastated by a fire and remains a ruin today. To mark the 25th national Doors Open Day, the Scottish Civic Trust commissioned both complete and ruined versions of the house in Minecraft. The video game involves breaking and placing blocks to create structures. Games-based educational consultancy ImmersiveMinds used hundreds of thousands of blocks to make scale models of Penicuik House, which is owned by the Clerk family. John Pelan, Scottish Civic Trust director, said: "Doors Open Days appeals to our natural nosiness to get in and look around all the wonderful buildings that make up our towns and cities. "We are delighted that Sir Robert and Lady Clerk agreed to the mad idea to Minecraft the amazing Penicuik House and are astonished by the work that ImmersiveMinds have achieved." Stephen Reid. of ImmersiveMinds, said hours of work went into creating exteriors and interiors of the property. He said: "The build has taken 86 hours to complete and includes a topographically accurate, 1:1.5 scale landscape and structure comprising over 350,000 blocks, most of which have been retextured to match the look and feel of both incarnations of Penicuik House." Historic Scotland and Aberdeen Asset Management supported the project. Colbert, 49, is host of Comedy Central's acclaimed late-night satire programme The Colbert Report. Letterman, 66, said last week he was retiring after 21 years hosting the CBS show and 11 years on NBC's Late Night. On his show, Colbert plays a satirical version of himself to mock right-wing pundits. He has suggested he will retire the character for the new show. "Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television," CBS president Leslie Moonves wrote in a statement following the announcement. "David Letterman's legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today's announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night." On his popular and influential Emmy-winning Comedy Central programme, Colbert's biting brand of satire has drawn critical acclaim as well as provoking ire, often from the Republicans and conservatives he skewers. Recently he was attacked on social media for a joke some viewed as disparaging toward Asian Americans but which he meant as a satirical jab at the owner of the Washington Redskins American football team. Of his hiring to the Late Show top spot, Colbert said, "simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career." "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead." HMP Oakwood and HMP Birmingham got an overall score of three out of four, meaning they meet the majority of targets, the National Offender Management Service said. G4S, which manages the jails, said the figures were positive and encouraging. Earlier reports said HMP Oakwood was failing to tackle drugs and HMP Birmingham faced "significant challenges". Performance was monitored in areas including public protection, reducing reoffending, resource management and operational effectiveness. An HM Prison Inspectorate report in February this year said HMP Oakwood continued to have problems with bullying, the use of force by staff and self harm. The jail near Wolverhampton was heavily criticised after an inspection in 2013, but the February 2015 report also said the jail made "significant improvements" including "a calmer atmosphere" and better staff-inmate relationships. G4S director for HMP Oakwood John McLaughlin said it had come through "a difficult period" since it opened in 2012 but "the prison, staff and regime have matured". He said: "We continue to focus on getting more prisoners at Oakwood into meaningful education and training to support their rehabilitation back into communities, help them turn away from crime and ultimately improve public safety." A report in 2014 found conditions at HMP Birmingham had improved since a private takeover in 2011 and the jail in Winson Green was "making good progress" since G4S took control, but some problems persisted. The presence of illicit drugs remained "stubbornly high", while some foreign inmates were negative about their experiences, inspectors said. G4S director for HMP Birmingham Pete Small said: "We continue to work hard with the Ministry of Justice and partners locally including West Midlands Police to improve the prison, play our part in cutting reoffending and ultimately enhance community safety." The prime minister said the focus should be on getting the best Brexit deal for the whole of the UK. Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said Nicola Sturgeon's demand for a vote by the spring of 2019 would be rejected "conclusively". Ms Sturgeon said blocking a referendum would be a "democratic outrage". Ms Sturgeon, the Scottish first minister, told BBC Scotland: "It is an argument for independence really in a nutshell, that Westminster thinks it has got the right to block the democratically elected mandate of the Scottish government and the majority in the Scottish Parliament. "You know history may look back on today and see it as the day the fate of the union was sealed." Ms Sturgeon has called for a referendum to be held in the autumn of 2018 or the spring of the following year, to coincide with the conclusion of the UK's Brexit negotiations with the EU. But Mrs May said her message to Ms Sturgeon was clear - "now is not the time". The prime minister added: "I think we should be working to get the right deal for Scotland and the UK with our future partnership with the European Union. "It would be unfair to the people of Scotland that they would be being asked to make a crucial decision without the information they need to make that decision." The prime minister also said the country should be "working together, not pulling apart". Ms Davidson later told a media conference in Edinburgh that the people of Scotland should have the right to see how the UK was working after leaving the EU before deciding whether or not they wanted independence. She added: "People should only be asked to make a judgment on whether to leave or remain within a 300-year-old union of nations when they have seen for themselves how that union is functioning following Brexit. "They should also know what the alternative entails and we have seen no clarity from the SNP on even the basic questions of their proposition." 2017 Brexit will be triggered in March 2018/19 Sturgeon's preferred vote dates 2019 Two year Brexit deal period ends 2020 Next UK general election 2021 Next Holyrood election Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "The proposal brought forward is not fair, people will not be able to make an informed choice. "Neither is there public or political support for such a referendum. "Therefore we will not be entering into discussions or negotiations about a Section 30 agreement and any request at this time will be declined." By BBC Scotland political editor Brian Taylor The Tory triumvirate - PM, secretary of state, Scottish leader - stress that a referendum might be feasible once Brexit is signed, sealed and settled. David Mundell seemed particularly keen to stress that point. However, if they won't contemplate Section 30 meantime, then the time needed for legislation, consultation and official preparation would suggest that - by that calendar - any referendum would be deferred until 2020 or possibly later. Possibly after the next Holyrood elections. Options for the FM? She could sanction an unofficial referendum, without statutory backing. Don't see that happening. It would be a gesture - and Nicola Sturgeon, as the head of a government, is generally averse to gestures. Unless they advance her cause. She could protest and seek discussions. Some senior Nationalists believe this to be a negotiation ploy by the PM, the prelude to talks. Will the first minister proceed with the vote next week at Holyrood, demanding a Section 30 transfer in which the Greens are expected to join with the SNP to create a majority? I firmly expect her to do so, to add to the challenge to the PM. Read more from Brian Scotland voted by 55% to 45% to remain in the UK in a referendum in September 2014 - but Ms Sturgeon says a second vote is needed to allow the country to choose what path to take following last year's Brexit vote. MSPs are due to vote next Wednesday on whether to seek a section 30 order from the UK government, which would be needed to make any referendum legally binding. The parliament currently has a pro-independence majority, with the Scottish Greens pledging to support the minority SNP government in the vote. The conservation body, which owns the site near Egham, was granted a possession order to remove a number of squatters from the group Diggers 2012. Spokesman Simon Moore said they had left the trust's land voluntarily. He said the group, which sets out to cultivate disused land, grow food and build shelter, were based on land neighbouring the Runnymede Estate. "It has never been our intention to set up a camp on the National Trust land at Runnymede," Mr Moore said. "The dispute arose over three tents which were just inside the border of the National Trust land." He added they were "a community of people who wish to lead a low-impact, sustainable life. "We are part of a campaign for wider access to disused land in the United Kingdom". Geri Silverstone, from the National Trust, said: "We certainly respect people's right to protest... we wanted to make sure that they were not getting in the way of other people enjoying that land and restricting access." The 31-year-old spent two seasons at Rovers but failed to score in his 41 appearances. Brown came through the youth system at Sunderland and has played for Doncaster Rovers, Hull City, Norwich City and Preston North End. His deal includes the option of another year and he is available for Saturday's season opener against Charlton. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The mathematicians at Cardiff University use "big data" collected from thousands of previous results. The academics and their specially-programmed robots then use their analysis to make bets. Prof Anatoly Zhigljavsky, of the School of Mathematics, said: "We don't feel it as money. We feel it as a challenge." His team recorded three years of data from 100 football leagues around the world, including results and in-play data, such as the number of goals, yellow cards and red cards in any given game. The team and their robots analyse the data. They then compare the odds offered by bookmakers for similar upcoming matches to the odds they calculate are reasonable. "If the odds are in our favour we put a small bet in," Prof Zhigljavsky said. "And that's how we put in hundreds and hundreds of bets." Prof Zhigljavsky said the team had one robot which, despite them not tuning it for three years, has made a "small but steady profit". "It [the profit] is not significant but it's still positive," he explained. However, for the most part, Prof Zhigljavsky believes current artificial intelligence punters cannot be trusted on their own to make money. "Some robots are quite successful but most of them are not. Most of them require human intervention. "We are still looking for the robot that will make big money," he said. "We know when to play, we know when not to play. We know how to play. Unfortunately, we still don't know how to fully automize good robots." Prof Zhigljavsky said he and his colleagues also produce strategies more sophisticated than those used by their electronic counterparts. And it was the nagging sense that their branch of mathematics was under-appreciated that drew them to the challenge. "Football betting is an interesting example - nobody asked us to do that but we found there is an infinite source of data, lots of uncertainty, and uncertainty is exactly what we like to deal with - to extract what is very, very difficult to extract." He said the team had also detected betting scams in the past, such as match fixing, by spotting unusual fluctuations in the odds. The professor of statistics is keen to point out that the betting work is only a "hobby" at the university, as he and his team carry out research which is much more serious and academically significant. Nonetheless, he admits students enjoy it and staff relish the opportunity to apply their theories to work which is not exclusively theoretical. Ben Morgan, who is studying gambling odds at the university said: "We've put a few bets on recently. Some have done better than others." But, while studying the numbers may help, Prof Zhigljavsky insists the level of discipline and work required mean it is no short-circuit to getting rich. "It looks like if you, at least, don't want to lose money in betting, then you have to apply some time, you need to apply some effort. "I have a couple of friends who are making decent money [from betting] - they don't need to work, if they don't want to. They work for the moment, but they are thinking of quitting work. "But they have to spend a serious amount of time to prepare for the proper betting, so nothing is free, unfortunately." And while Prof Zhigljavsky does not spend the required time necessary to make betting his main source of income, he sees it as a realistic possibility. "If I retire and I carry on this activity for another five years, I think I will be perfectly capable of supporting myself and my family just with this [betting]. "Of course, I will need to spend more time and energy. But if I still have energy and time, then why not?" But he is not convinced the bookmakers need to start worrying about mathematicians having a serious impact on their profits for the meantime. In fact, the statisticians may even prove useful to the betting companies. "If we start winning on an industrial scale then we would present some danger to betting companies but I don't think we are any danger because our winnings are absolutely negligible. "Because we are putting on lots of bets they actually may monitor people like us and get some extra information from us," Prof Zhigljavsky said. Born to an Italian-Welsh father and Welsh mother in Cwm, Ebbw Vale, he was a regular performer in London's West End as well as with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He appeared in more than 30 films, including the Beatles' movies and Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. He had been diagnosed with cancer. Spinetti's agent, Barry Burnett, said: "He had cancer for a year, but he was very cheerful to the end. I spoke to him on Friday and he was talking about his plans and everything." News of his death prompted a stream of tributes from fans and members of the entertainment world on Twitter. Actor Rob Brydon tweeted: "So sad Victor Spinetti has died. The funniest story teller I've ever met and a lovely warm man. Proud to have been his friend. 'Eh, Vic...'" Britt Ekland, actor and singer, wrote: "Just heard my wonderful friend, co writer and director Victor Spinetti died. Am devastated to have lost a true acting genius." Welsh actor Sian Phillips told BBC Wales she was shocked and saddened, adding: "He was such a force of joy and vitality. When one saw him across a crowded room, one couldn't wait to get together with him and have a chat and a catch-up." Barbara Windsor, his co-star in the West End stage play Oh! What a Lovely War which transferred to Broadway and a lifelong friend, had visited Spinetti last Thursday. "We were very close. He was another of my great friends from that era. He was such a great man," she said. "We just chatted and chatted and talked about old things. But he said, 'let's not talk about all that, let's talk about the future'. "What he was trying to say was that everything was happy in his room. I was happy to see him. He didn't look ill. He looked great. He was swearing a lot, like that would get rid of the illness, and we just laughed." Spinetti had recently appeared on her two-part radio series Clubland, and she wanted to play it for him. "I got the nurses to wake him up to hear it," said Windsor. "Some of the nurses didn't know who he was so I wanted them to hear it too. He was part of my life and I'm going to miss him so much. We'd go out for lunch and have a great gossip together. "He was such a good actor because he took notice of people and used their characters. He portrayed them wonderfully, whatever he did." Spinetti was born in the living quarters above the chip shop his family owned in Cwm, Ebbw Vale. He attended Monmouth School and initially had ambitions to be a teacher. But after turning to acting he studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff. His early stage career saw him make a number of memorable performances with Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop, whose production of Oh, What a Lovely War! transferred to the West End and Broadway. It was his performance in Oh, What a Lovely War! that prompted the Beatles to ask him to appear in A Hard Day's Night (1964), the first of the group's five films. It is suggested George Harrison told Spinetti that he had to be in the film because "me mum will only go to see them if you're in them". Spinetti's collaboration with the Beatles saw him appear in their next two productions, Help! (1965) and the hour-long television film Magical Mystery Tour (1967). He also worked with John Lennon to turn Lennon's book, In His Own Write, in to a play which he then directed at the National Theatre. Sir Paul McCartney described him as "the man who makes clouds disappear". His stage career saw him win a Tony award for his Broadway performance in Oh, What a Lovely War!, as well as co-starring with Jack Klugman when The Odd Couple toured London. His film career included starring in Zeffirelli's The Taming of the Shrew, again alongside Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and The Return of the Pink Panther as well as The Krays in 1990. In his television career, he is perhaps best known for voicing the arch villain character Texas Pete in the S4C animated series SuperTed. Spinetti was also a noted raconteur whose creative output included poetry, an autobiography and his one-man show, A Very Private Diary. A BBC documentary on his life and work saw contributions from Barbara Windsor and Rob Brydon praising a "great Welsh eccentric". Spinetti died at a hospice in Monmouth on Monday morning, his agent said. If approved, the figure would stand approximately 210ft (64m) high on land at Chirk Park. The Frank Wingett Cancer Appeal is behind the idea and the charity claims the dragon and visitor centre could raise £1m a year and create 70 jobs. The application will go out to public consultation and it is hoped a decision will be made by autumn 2010. Wrexham council is in the process of considering transferring land it owns to allow the dragon to be built. Chief planning officer Lawrence Isted said: "The application will now go out to formal public consultation for one month and depending on the outcome of that consultation it will be reported to planning committee for decision in the Autumn." The 25m (82ft) bronze dragon sculpture would top a new 40m (131ft) building in Wrexham with a visitor centre. Council leader Aled Roberts has previously said he believes the sculpture would "strengthen and develop" tourism. Antoinette Sandbach told MPs about losing her five-day-old son to sudden infant death syndrome six years ago. The Eddisbury Conservative MP had been taking part in a debate about a lack of bereavement care in maternity units. On Twitter, she said she was "touched" and hoped speaking out "will lead to better services and more research". Ms Sandbach had spoken about losing her son and her experiences alone at the hospital and during the routine police investigation which followed. She said counselling organised by charity Chrysalis Trust at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool had been a "lifeline". Sharing her experience provided her with support from fellow MPs, medical professionals, parents and charities, she added. One supporter tweeted: "thanks 4 raising such an important subject. Must have been very hard for you. Know how devastating losing a child is. So sorry." Fellow Conservative MP James Cleverly tweeted: "Tonight's adjournment debate on maternal bereavement by @willquince & @ASandbachMP moved me to tears. Thank you both for raising this issue." The Commons debate was called by Conservative MP Will Quince, who shared the experience he and his wife went through when their son was stillborn. Ms Sandbach has now been asked to take part in future talks with ministers on how bereaved families can be better supported. Russian planes have attacked several sites in northern Syria, activists say. Russia has not confirmed any sorties on Sunday and says it has also identified nine breaches of the truce. A cessation of hostilities was agreed as part of a US-Russian plan. Russia says that in general it is holding. It is the first major cessation of hostilities in the five years of war. More than 250,000 have been killed in the fight against President Bashar al-Assad. Millions more have been forced from their homes. Humanitarian agencies are hoping use the truce to deliver aid to besieged areas of the country. Read more: The Syrian opposition has complained of 15 violations of the ceasefire by the government side, which is supported by Russia. The Syrian opposition umbrella group the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) said it would be sending a formal letter of complaint about the breaches to the UN and other world powers. However, the HNC said that despite violations "here and there", it was "positive to see people getting relief …to be safe, and free from fear". Some Syrian activists say the target of the air strikes in the north, near Aleppo, was the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front. The truce involves Syrian government and rebel forces, but not the so-called Islamic State group (IS) or the Nusra Front, so an attack on them would not count as a breach. But the villages also contain fighters from the Western-backed opposition as territorial control in Syria is often blurred, reports the BBC's Mark Lowen from the Turkish border. Given the terms of this ceasefire deal, it is conceivable that the rebels were targeted under cover of striking the Nusra Front, he adds. The HNC said two of the strikes were in areas where designated terrorist groups were not operating. Meanwhile, among the breaches reported by the Russian military was what it described as a "cross-border" attack from Turkey near Tal Abyad. Russia has asked the US to investigate. The US military told the BBC that it had continued to attack IS targets in Syria on Saturday, including 10 air strikes near Tal Abyad. The "cessation of hostilities" began at midnight on Saturday (22:00 GMT Friday). The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov and the US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone on Saturday welcoming the ceasefire and, Moscow says, discussing ways of supporting it through military co-operation. UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura has said that peace talks will resume on 7 March if the truce "largely holds", adding that he had no doubt there would be "no shortage of attempts to undermine this process". The cessation was brokered by the US and Russia, and is backed by a UN resolution. Previous talks in Geneva collapsed in early February after making no progress. The UN resolution names about 30 areas in dire need of aid, including eastern and western rural Aleppo and the eastern city of Deir al-Zour, which is under siege by IS. Almost 100 rebel factions have agreed to respect the truce, the HNC says. However, the HNC warned the Syrian government and its allies not to use the "proposed text to continue the hostile operations against the opposition factions under the excuse of fighting terrorism". Russian President Vladimir Putin says his forces are targeting IS, Nusra Front and other extremist groups designated as legitimate targets by the UN Security Council. However, over the course of its campaign in Syria, Russia has been widely accused of also attacking more moderate rebel groups fighting President Bashar al-Assad, an ally of the Kremlin. The battle for Syria and Iraq in maps Syria's civil war explained Why is there a war in Syria? Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that four years on has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory. What's the human cost? More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe. How has the world reacted? Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran have pro-Assad forces on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes. The claims - made by Channel 4 - allege that some bills were wrongly declared in the party's spending returns. The commission said it would look at bills for two hotels in the Kent constituency. A Conservative spokesman said spending was all legal and "correctly recorded". During last year's election UKIP's Nigel Farage lost out in the race for South Thanet seat to the Conservative Party's Craig Mackinlay. The rules around candidate spending and any potential criminal offence can only be investigated by the police under the Representation of the People Act (RPA) 1983 - not the Electoral Commission. But while the commission has no powers to investigate or sanction alleged candidate spending offences, it does have powers in relation to national campaign spending. Kent Police says it will not pursue an investigation over individual candidate spending in Thanet South during the commission's review. "At this stage the matter will sit with the Electoral Commission. Kent Police officers will liaise closely with the Electoral Commission and investigate if appropriate," a spokeswoman said. The commission said it would specifically consider whether stays at the Royal Harbour Hotel in Ramsgate and the Premier Inn in Margate, should have been included in national campaign spending or not. "The investigation opened by the commission today focuses on whether the Conservative Party met their reporting obligations under the Political Parties Elections and Referendums Act," a statement said. The commission's sanctioning powers are limited to a civil penalty of up to £20,000. The allegations were first made by on 20 January and relate to how much an individual can spend on their campaign during an election. The commission said that during what was defined as the "short campaign" - which ran from 30 March to 7 May - £8,700 could be spent, plus 6p for every "registered parliamentary elector". In his blog Michael Crick - the political correspondent for Channel 4 - said the legal expense limit in Thanet South for that period was £15,016. For much of the Cold War, the aim of successive British governments was to have a capability that mirrored in quality, if not in size, the arsenals of the superpowers. The first stumbling block was the shock US decision to halt nuclear co-operation with Britain at the end of World War II. From being partners in the fabled Manhattan Project, Britain was left initially largely to its own (nuclear) devices. But the then Labour Foreign Secretary, Ernest Bevin, declared that Britain had to have a nuclear weapon with a "bloody Union Jack on top of it". Britain did become the third country, after the US and the Soviet Union, to test an atomic device, in October 1952. But just 17 months later, the Americans detonated their first, much more powerful thermonuclear device - or hydrogen bomb - at Bikini Atoll. The race to catch up was on again. The British began a new series of tests based on Christmas Island in the Pacific in May 1957. After the first test, the government proudly proclaimed that Britain, too, had become a thermonuclear power. But that, it turned out, was a bluff, in order not to undermine the perception of Britain as a first-rate power. The explosive power of the initial devices was disappointing, and they were not H-bombs in the accepted sense - they were fission rather than fusion bombs. It would not be until 1961 that the British possessed an operational H-bomb. Ironically, the advent of the H-bomb era fired up the anti-nuclear movement. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was able to mobilise hundreds of thousands of people on marches to "ban the bomb". The issue was at the centre of British politics. There was also another challenge for the military: how to deliver its nuclear weapons. This was another area where the British at times struggled to keep up. During the 1950s, the RAF developed its legendary V-bombers - the Valiant, Victor, and Vulcan - in their iconic Cold War white, anti-flash colour scheme. But it soon became clear that they would increasingly struggle to get through Soviet air defences. Initially, the answer was to fit the bombers with a British-designed stand-off missile, Blue Steel. But that was only an interim solution. For the longer term, the British turned to the Americans and the Skybolt ballistic missile that they were developing to equip their bomber force. But then, another shock. In November 1962, the Kennedy administration decided to scrap Skybolt. It only informed the British after the decision was made. The move left the British in an acute dilemma. They had already scrapped their own ballistic missile programme, Blue Streak. They had nowhere else to go if they were to stay in the top rank of nuclear powers. So the then Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, rushed to Nassau to meet President Kennedy. The result of that meeting was a US agreement to sell Britain submarine-launched Polaris ballistic missiles. Britain would build its own submarines and the missile warheads. That decision set the course for Britain's nuclear weapons capability ever since. But again, within a few years, it became clear that Polaris would struggle to meet "the Moscow criterion" - the ability to breach the Soviet capital's improving missile defences. The British answer was a secret and, as it turned out, hugely expensive warhead improvement programme called Chevaline. There was huge controversy when it was finally made public in the early 1980s. The Trident programme, to replace Polaris, was also already in its early stages by then. It followed the model of its predecessor - American missiles, British submarines and warheads. But, by the time the first British Trident submarine went on patrol in 1994, the Cold War was over. Trident is now Britain's only nuclear weapon. It retired its last free fall bombs in 1998. And the stockpile of operational Trident warheads is also much reduced from its original level. For the British military, even some of the clouds that have loomed over its efforts to be a big nuclear player have had silver linings. Despite the setbacks, there were elements of its early H-bomb designs that so interested the Americans they helped cement US-UK nuclear co-operation. The Polaris programme was also a remarkably successful undertaking for the Royal Navy. From the US agreement to sell Britain the weapon in December 1962 to the first submarine going on patrol was less than six years - an astonishing technical achievement. The navy has also undertaken more than 300 continuous Polaris or Trident patrols since then - with just four submarines at a time available. And despite the controversies over the cost, the advocates of both Polaris and Trident argue that they have actually been a bargain for what they deliver. Whether there is a need to continue with that capability - to have at least one submarine always on patrol - is now at the heart of the arguments over the future of the British nuclear capability. The backdrop is a world in which the Cold War is history and there are very different security challenges looming, while resources are stretched in what looks like a prolonged era of austerity. But new fears of nuclear proliferation and uncertainties about future instability have provoked a new debate on what kind of nuclear force, if any, the country should continue to deploy. Hollis described Villa as being in "crisis" when appointed by previous owner Randy Lerner in January, claiming they were in "the worst position this club has been in for many a decade". By then, Villa were already doomed to relegation to the Championship. And Hollis has spent his five months at the helm budget-cutting in readiness. His experience of seeing through big takeover deals from his time as Midlands regional chairman with accountants KPMG paved the way for Villa's £76m takeover by Chinese businessman Dr Xia. There were also changes at boardroom level under the helm of Shropshire-born Hollis, as he attempted to shape the club's future direction. Lord Mervyn King, the former governor of the Bank of England and a lifelong Villa fan, was brought in, along with former Villa player and manager Brian Little, former Football Association chairman David Bernstein and former FA executive Adrian Bevington. But King and Bernstein resigned from the Villa board in April, two days after the club were relegated for the first time since the Premier League was formed, before Bevington followed in May. Of those arrivals, only Little remains to help smooth in the arrival of Dr Xia, new chief executive Keith Wyness and new manager Roberto di Matteo. "Steve Hollis was always scheduled to resign as chairman once Dr Tony Xia completed the formalities. "In that time, Hollis presided over hundreds of redundancies, with the aim of making the club more financially viable to any prospective purchasers."

The 1929 work, Girl with Necklace, was given by Kahlo's husband to a woman who had assisted her before her death. The assistant, now in her 90s, kept the painting in a bedroom in her home in California until she offered it to auction house Sotheby's this year. It is expected to fetch up to $2m (£1.6m) at the sale on 22 November. Axel Stein, head of Latin American art at Sotheby's, said the painting was in an excellent state. "The painting looks very fresh," Mr Stein said. "It was in a dark part of the house so the colours are vibrant. According to Mr Stein, the oil-on-canvas painting has "a sense of warmth and closeness". It portrays a girl, possibly Frida Kahlo herself, looking directly ahead. Art experts knew of the painting because a friend of Frida Kahlo's had once photographed it.. The black-and-white snap featured in a catalogue of Kahlo's works but the whereabouts of the original had been unknown. Its owner told Sotheby's that Frida Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera, had given her the painting as a present in 1955. She said Rivera, a famous muralist, had told her he wanted her to have a "memento" of the artist. A painting by Kahlo depicting two nude women in the woods fetched $8m at an auction in New York earlier this year, the highest price one of her paintings has fetched to date. But now Austria's second largest city is coming to terms with the deaths of dozens of Nazi prisoners - many of them Hungarian Jews - within its walls. Graz hosted a conference on the history of the Liebenau labour camp on Tuesday amid attempts to bring horrors committed 70 years ago to light. It focused on the events of April 1945, in the final weeks of World War Two. It was during this time that a group Hungarian Jews were held briefly at a Nazi labour camp in Liebenau - in a southern district of Graz - as they were led on a death march to Mauthausen concentration camp in northern Austria. Many of them were severely weakened, starved and sick. When they arrived at the Liebenau camp, which was otherwise used to hold prisoners of war and foreign slave labourers, they were denied food and medication, and were forced to sleep outside despite the cold. During those weeks at least 35 member of the group were shot dead. Their identities - and the location of many of the bodies - remain largely unknown. "The aim of the conference is to open the whole topic to the public so it becomes better known here," said Barbara Stelzl-Marx, vice president of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Research on War Consequences in Graz. "This is not something that has been well known, or part of the collective memory." Today the site of the Liebenau camp is less than a mile from the UPC Arena, Liebenau's football stadium. The deaths of the prisoners only re-emerged as part of Ms Stelzl-Marx's research into forced labour camps in 1998. It is believed they may have been killed because they were no longer able to march, or as a warning to others. "I have lived in Graz most of my life so I was really shocked by this information," Ms Stelzl-Marx told the BBC. "This happened on our doorstep." But it was only when plans for a hydro-electric power plant on the River Mur, which flows next to the site, were submitted more recently that interest really grew. People asked whether the development could disturb the burial places of the victims. Ms Stelzl-Marx says most of the bodies were thought to have been exhumed by British forces in 1947, although one newspaper source at the time suggested not all of them had been moved. A military court set up by the British convicted four camp guards the same year, two of whom were sentenced to death. But after this, a "wall of silence" came down, Ms Stelzl-Marx says. "Grass grew over the whole story." The Allies handed the process of dealing with the aftermath of WWII to the Austrian government after 1947. Prof Helmut Konrad of the University of Graz describes what happened next as a "story of shame". He said Austrians refused to accept their country's involvement in Nazi crimes, instead insisting they were the "first victims". "No-one cared to talk about this topic," Prof Konrad told the BBC. Even when he arrived in Graz in the 1980s, he had "no idea" about the Liebenau camp, he says. The remains of just one of the camp's buildings are visible in the city; they are believed to have been the complex's kitchen. Ms Stelzl-Marx says she cannot say for sure whether or not bodies of the victims remain in the ground in Graz. But the city's mayor announced on Tuesday that a memorial would be erected in their honour. It is part of broader efforts Austria is making to address its difficult history, including pushing for looted objects and artworks to be returned to their rightful owners. Prof Konrad says this has created a "clearer picture" of the country's involvement. "The picture has taken a very long time," he says. "But Austria is no longer behind other countries in terms of recognising collective participation in Nazi crimes." Ridden by Ryan Moore, Churchill eased to the front with more than a furlong to go to win ahead of runner-up Thunder Show with Irishcorrespondent in third. Galileo colt Churchill, the 4-9 favourite, may now go for the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. "He wasn't enjoying the ground so I tried to help him along," said Moore. "But when I asked him he was there. I have always rated him." Churchill becomes the ninth horse to complete the Newmarket/Curragh 2,000 Guineas double. His Ballydoyle stable companions Lancaster Bomber and Spirit Of Valor gave him a nice lead into the race and while Godolphin's Thunder Snow did his best to make a race of it, Churchill ultimately saw him off by two and a half lengths under Ryan Moore in the rain-softened ground. "He is very exciting and hopefully go for the St James's Palace Stakes," said O'Brien who now has a remarkable 70 victories in European classics. "He would have no problem stepping up to 10 furlongs later in the year. He is so versatile and relaxed." "We don't have a ban on non-traditional sexual relations," he said. "We have a ban on promoting homosexuality and paedophilia among minors." He was speaking in Sochi to volunteers due to help at next month's games. Mr Putin told BBC News Russia would ensure security for the games without it impacting unduly on the event. Speaking to BBC One's Andrew Marr Show nearly three weeks after the deadly suicide bombings in Volgograd, he said the international community should unite against terrorism. Denying that the Winter Olympics was aimed at increasing his personal prestige, it said it was a chance to boost Russian morale after the difficult years which followed the collapse of the USSR in 1991. One of the volunteers at Friday's meeting commented on Sochi's rainbow-coloured uniforms and asked if they might be breaching the ban on gay propaganda. Mr Putin replied that he had not designed the uniform. "We are not banning anything and we won't arrest anyone," Mr Putin said, in televised remarks. "You can feel free in your relationships but leave children in peace." Gay rights campaigners around the world have called for a boycott of the Winter Olympics in protest at Russia's controversial new legislation, which was passed in June. The amendment to the child protection law prescribes fines for providing information about homosexuality to people under 18. These range from 4,000 roubles (£78; $121) for an individual to 1m roubles for organisations. Critics say the amendment's loose wording, and its free interpretation by the authorities, effectively make any kind of public gay rights event in Russia impossible. Some national leaders have indicated they will not attend the games, which run from 7 to 23 February. US President Barack Obama pointedly announced he was sending an Olympic delegation that includes several openly gay sports figures, among them tennis legend Billie Jean King. Just before the new year holiday, suicide bombers attacked Volgograd's central railway station and a trolleybus, killing 32 people in addition to themselves and wounding about 70. The bombings followed threats from Islamist militants in Russia's troubled North Caucasus to disrupt the Olympics with attacks. Militants attacked a restaurant in Makhachkala, Dagestan, on Friday, injuring seven people. "I think the international community should unite to fight such inhuman phenomena as terror attacks and the murder of totally innocent people," Mr Putin told the BBC. "Our task as the organisers is to ensure the safety of those taking part in the Olympics and those attending this sporting event." But Russia would seek to carry out security measures which did not distract from the Games, he said. On the aim of the Sochi Games, Mr Putin said: "This is not my personal ambition but the direct, concentrated interest of the state and our people." "After the collapse of the USSR, after the bloody events in the Caucasus, the general mood of society was sombre and pessimistic, and we need to give ourselves a shake," the Russian president said. A Senate committee has begun its first public hearing into the allegations after an independent report found Nauru detainees were being abused. Australia sends all would-be asylum seekers arriving by boat to Nauru and Papua New Guinea for processing. The Senate committee will reveal its finding by mid-June. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said the government was doing everything it could to help conditions in centres on Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. However, Australia has been widely criticised by rights groups for its immigration policies of resettling asylum seekers elsewhere. A number of submissions to the committee from asylum seekers spoke of women not being able to sleep at night because of rats running through tents, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. One of the submissions from a doctor who recently visited the Pacific island nation also reports an allegation of rape against a woman. "She told me that since the rape, one guard had offered her extra shower time in return for sexual favours," Dr David Isaacs wrote in his submission. Another submission from the Immigration Advice and Rights Centre said one boy began self-harming and talking about suicide. His mother believed he had been sexually assaulted, the submission said. Australia asylum: Why is it controversial? On Tuesday, the first witnesses in the public hearing were from Transfield Services, the firm managing the facility on Nauru. But many questions from senators on specific allegations and operations were taken "on notice" by managers - to be answered later. Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young asked for information relating to the sexual assault of a young boy in 2013, according to ABC News. "Very happy to take that question on notice... and provide you the detailed timeline and reporting chain of that particular incident or allegation," said Derek Osborne, Transfield's executive general manager of logistics and facilities management. Labor's Alex Gallacher, who chairs the committee, asked whether male guards were allowed in the areas where women and children were showering. "No - not as far as I'm aware," Mr Osborne said, adding that Transfield had subcontracted out security services to another company called Wilson Security. The rock was found to have a mean height above sea level of 17.15m - some 0.85m below the previous estimate. However, the calculations also showed that previous estimates of Rockall's position were accurate. Adventurer Nick Hancock collected the data while he spent 45 days on the rock in the North Atlantic in June, 2014. The chartered surveyor connected to satellites and Ordnance Survey (OS) radio stations to try to update United Kingdom Hydrographical Office (UKHO) records relating to the position and height of Rockall. They were last calculated in 1977, as part of a major survey into the sea bed around the islet. Following multiple hi-tech tests, the position of Rockall - 230 miles off the Western Isles - was confirmed to be the same as had been calculated almost 40 years ago. Mark Greaves, OS satellite positioning expert, said: "Nick's occupation of Rockall for such a long time is a fantastic achievement and Ordnance Survey was happy to be involved with advice and data processing facilities. "The satellite positioning data that Nick recorded on Rockall was of high quality and it enabled the island's position to be determined to just a few centimetres. "This provided a very useful check on the official chart position of Rockall." During his occupation in June and July, Mr Hancock, who lives near Edinburgh, installed a fixed permanent survey marker on the summit plateau of the rock. The latest coordinates are said to have pinpointed its position with an accuracy of within two centimetres. The difference between the new data and the previous collections is only about 1.3m in an east/west direction and 0.3m in a north/south direction. It means that Mr Hancock's aim of "relocating" Rockall was not realised. He said: "I had hoped that my survey results might significantly relocate Rockall. "But being able to finally establish the true height of the rock means that my time spent there has even greater long-term significance than just breaking the previous occupation records and raising funds for Help for Heroes." It is estimated his summer exile raised more than £10,000 for the services charity. The height of Rockall was previously estimated by the Royal Geographical Society in its first map of Rockall as about 18m from sea level to the summit. It had earlier been estimated at 19.2m, but the summit was removed by the Royal Engineers in 1971 when they installed a light beacon. The UK claimed Rockall in 1955 when a party of Royal Marines planted the Union Flag on it. Ireland, which is 270 miles away, disputed its ownership, but this was resolved in March 2014 when exclusive economic zone (EEZ) limits were published following an investigation by the United Nations.

Games company ImmersiveMinds spent more than 125 hours and used more than three million virtual bricks on the 1:1 scale map of the islands. St Kilda lies about 40 miles (64km) west of North Uist, the nearest inhabited place to the archipelago. The last islanders left the main island of Hirta in 1930 after life there became unsustainable. People only now live on Hirta on a temporary basis to work at the military site, or on wildlife conservation projects. The Minecraft version of St Kilda has been made to help mark Tuesday's World Heritage Day. The map is available for public download to allow gamers all over the world to explore the archipelago's history, heritage, stories, people and landscapes. Nick Smith, heritage manager at Western Isles' local authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, said: "This is a really exciting way to use technology so that people can discover a remote and difficult to access place." The team from ImmersiveMinds worked closely with Jonathan Wordsworth, the St Kilda archaeologist with The National Trust for Scotland, to ensure that this digital world is as accurate as possible. The virtual build features abandoned blackhouses, boats and underground structures called souterrains.
